Free Web NovelChapter 218: Chapter 26: Demonic Deliverance
Fang Cheng sustained himself through constant battle. Magical Power surged in his Qi Sea as he merged with the Spiritual Mechanism of the Seven Kills Array, slaughtering his enemies without restraint.
After the Netherworld Banner devoured a large number of Demon Souls, the Spirit Patterns on its surface grew dense, emitting a cold and terrifying light.
In fact, Fang Cheng had most of his attention focused on refining this Magical Artifact.
Suddenly, a piercing shriek that made his scalp tingle shot out from the thick, black Demon Smoke.
The next moment, a Blood Centipede over a thousand feet long, its body a translucent crimson, shot out of the Demon Smoke.
Its mandibles were savage and sharp. With its thousand legs paddling, it slithered and danced through the air, evading the sky-filling sword light Fang Cheng had laid out with astonishing speed and rushing straight for him.
Before it even got close, its mandibles suddenly spat out a beam of purplish-red Demonic Light.
’A Tier Two Late Stage demon!’
Fang Cheng flicked his wide sleeve. The Li Hen Demon Light instantly returned to his front, transforming into layers upon layers of light barriers to block the array’s core.
BOOM!!
The purplish-red Demonic Light collided with the Li Hen Demon Light, creating a thunderous boom. A distorted, multicolored halo of light rapidly expanded outward.
Fang Cheng sat at the heart of the array’s core, the Li Hen Demon Light swirling around him like a black tornado, and he remained completely unmoved.
’This demon is truly powerful. Its Magic Power is astonishingly profound. If I weren’t borrowing the power of the Seven Kills Array, I would never be able to block a direct hit from it in any other situation.’
Its attack having failed, the Blood Centipede shook its head and tail and instantly shot away.
The next moment, it reappeared in the distance.
It lunged forward and clamped its jaws around a sharp beam of sword light. Instantly, the sword light filling the sky dissipated.
With a CRACK, the Blood Centipede bit the Dragon Abyss Sword in two.
Immediately after, the Blood Centipede and the sky full of demons charged at Fang Cheng once more.
Fang Cheng’s expression was as placid as still water as he calmly summoned his second Flying Sword.
The Fire Palace.
A Tier Two Lower Grade Flying Sword was indeed not quite enough to handle this demon’s bite.
’The only way to win is with Swordsmanship, then...’
As the thought crossed Fang Cheng’s mind, the Sword Technique he formed with his hands changed. The Fire Palace Flying Sword transformed into a heaven-shaking beam of sword light and suddenly split apart.
The Crimson Flying Sword took on a bizarre, Purgatory-like coldness. In an instant, the sword light split into a hundred beams, which then interwove to depict the scene of a vast Nether Sea.
The waves surged, boundless and unending.
It was as if a cold, vast, ghostly ocean had appeared in the sky, stretching beyond the horizon.
The third form of the Netherworld Sword Technique: Nether Diagram.
Endless Nether Sea!
The demons swarming the sky lunged forward, but the great waves of the Nether Sea crashed against them. The Sword Intent surged, and countless demons fell silently from the sky.
One after another, the demons charged forward like moths to a flame, rushing in with a relentless, death-or-glory momentum.
But the Nether Sea formed from sword light continued to churn endlessly, suffused with a profound and timeless aura.
Sword Intent filled the heavens.
Before this profound, enduring, and chilling Sword Intent, the vicious and malevolent demons filling the sky were ultimately eclipsed.
Countless demon corpses plummeted from the sky, only to be swept up and refined by the Li Hen Demon Light.
Their residual souls were all devoured by the Netherworld Banner.
The Nether Sea, as ethereal as a painting, spread across a section of the sky, holding this battlefront firm!
The Tier Two Late Stage Blood Centipede was trapped within the Nether Sea. It struggled and thrashed madly, but to no avail. freewebnoveℓ.com
After a fierce struggle that lasted several dozen breaths, Fang Cheng saw his chance and summoned another of his Flying Swords.
The Flying Fish.
A muffled clap of thunder echoed across the sky. The sword light flashed, streaking straight across the heavens. freēwebnovel.com
The next moment, the Blood Centipede was sliced in two, killed on the spot!
It was the same Sword Qi Thunder Sound, but the speed of the sword light Fang Cheng now unleashed was countless times faster than when he was in the Sensing Realm.
He calmly refined the Blood Centipede’s corpse.
After devouring the residual soul of this Tier Two Late Stage demon, the Netherworld Banner seemed to have consumed a powerful tonic. It erupted with black light, growing to ten feet tall and planting itself behind Fang Cheng, rustling and fluttering endlessly.
The banner had finally been promoted to a Second-Order Magical Artifact.
Fang Cheng grabbed the Long Banner. With a wave of his hand, Demon Fog surged from the Great Banner’s surface. In an instant, more than ten incomparably powerful Yin Souls flew out. They roamed the sky, and upon encountering a demon, they would pounce on it, devour its soul, and leave behind a ravaged corpse before flying off toward the next target.
These Yin Souls had been refined by Fang Cheng from countless demon souls. Each one was comparable to a Tier Two Demon Beast—cruel, cunning, and fond of devouring souls to strengthen themselves.
The commotion from Fang Cheng killing a Tier Two Late Stage demon was anything but small. There were no fools within the Netherworld Prison Suppression Array, and his recent battle had been noticed by those who were paying attention.
Looking down upon the entire Grand Array, the Evil Qi was thickest around the Southeast Demon-Exorcising Platform, indicating that the Seven Kills Array was where the most demons were being slain.
And within the Seven Kills Array, the core where Fang Cheng presided was the most active of all.
The Endless Nether Sea stretched out, its ghostly waves vast and mighty. No demon that entered its bounds could escape death.
Outside the Nether Sea, more than ten Yin Souls took the initiative, hunting wantonly within the Demon Tide in a crazed frenzy.
Fang Cheng sat cross-legged within a halo of dazzling blue light, silently sensing the changes in his Qi Sea.
The Resentment Demon Bead continued to pour out a steady stream of Pure Spiritual Qi, causing his Magical Power to rise layer by layer.
If the scale of the Magical Power in his Qi Sea was a one when he had just advanced to the Life Talisman Realm, then now it had to be a fifty!
The depth of his Magical Power now far surpassed that of other Cultivators at the same level.
In comparison, his Life Talisman was still like an unripe fruit. Ultimately, he simply hadn’t spent enough time refining and nurturing it.
Cultivating Magical Power and nurturing a Life Talisman were supposed to be complementary processes. However, Fang Cheng had relied on external forces to increase his Magical Power too quickly, creating a mismatch between his Life Talisman and the scale of his power.
He could faintly sense that his Qi Sea had been filled to its absolute limit with Magical Power!
