Chapter 968: Slaying the Holy Envoy, the Holy Maiden, and the Enlightened Venerable

Su Ziluo's mind was shaken. She had never imagined that Chen Mobai's strength could be so terrifying.

The Violet-Green Twin Swords, wielded by the Myriad Sword Incarnation, struck with fifth-tier power with every swing. Even with her late Nascent Soul cultivation, Su Ziluo had a premonition that a single touch would be fatal.

Fortunately, her Five Elements Escape Technique was incredibly versatile, and coupled with the Shadow Escape Technique taught by Mingzun, which allowed her to dissipate into shadows, she could avoid fatal blows. However, even with the most powerful escape techniques from both righteous and demonic paths mastered, facing the Myriad Sword Incarnation alone still left her in a precarious position.

The Myriad Sword Incarnation was the only technique Chen Mobai had somewhat innovated himself. According to his vision, when it eventually reached the fifth-tier, it would fully master the Immortal Sect Sword Arts, cultivating twenty-four peak fifth-tier sword intents.

Currently, however, the Myriad Sword Incarnation was only fourth-tier. The sword intents drawn from the Violet Lightning and Azure Frost were only able to unleash fifth-tier power because the two swords themselves were of fifth-tier quality.

Even so, Su Ziluo couldn't stop it. She once again used the Shadow Escape Technique, turning into a shadow to evade the Violet Lightning Sword that grazed her head. As she struggled to maintain her escape technique, trying to dodge the incoming Azure Frost Sword, she noticed the sword suddenly changed direction just as it was about to strike her head.

Su Ziluo immediately followed the trajectory of the Azure Frost Sword and witnessed an unbelievable sight.

It wasn't just that the Myriad Sword Incarnation could effortlessly divide its attention to control the Azure Frost Sword for an intervention, knocking away the Golden Demon Wheels, while simultaneously suppressing her.

Rather, it was the Golden Demon Mighty Demonic Aspect, which the Holy Envoy of Light had used to dominate the Eastern Continent, that had, in just one round, disintegrated into a cloud of black smoke filling the sky under the precious mirror wielded by Chen Mobai's Nascent Soul.

Just one move!

Was the opponent too strong, or was the Holy Envoy of Light too weak?

Su Ziluo immediately cast her doubts aside, not only because the Violet Lightning sword light was already upon her again, but also because she had personally experienced the Holy Envoy of Light's cultivation, which was almost at the pinnacle of existence below the Deity Transformation stage.

Where did the Dao Palace find such a monstrous genius?

This thought was all that occupied Su Ziluo's mind, and then she realized that if they didn't fight with all their might now, both of them would likely die at the hands of this junior.

With a thought, she gritted her teeth, pulled out a talisman, and unleashed the Dao Fruit seal Mingzun had placed upon her.

"What kind of cultivation technique is that?"

Meanwhile, before the second Nascent Soul, the Holy Envoy of Light was forcefully gathering his shattered Golden Demon Qi while speaking and maneuvering the Golden Demon Twin Wheels, the only artifact capable of countering Chen Mobai, back to him.

"A technique to send you to the netherworld!"

Chen Mobai naturally wouldn't reveal his Pure Yang Scroll. Concerned about the safety of Qing Nü and others, after using the combined power of the Pure Yang set to shatter the opponent's nearly hundred-meter Golden Demon Mighty Demonic Aspect, he didn't give the Holy Envoy of Light a moment to breathe, activating his second Nascent Soul again.

The Haotian Mirror, suspended in mid-air and dazzling like the sun, emitted not only Profound Yang Divine Light but also a large mass of pure white flame with golden streaks, which plunged into the pervasive black smoke.

The Holy Envoy of Light had just exhausted his spiritual sense to gather back most of his Golden Demon Qi. Under the continuous onslaught of Pure Yang Fire and Profound Yang Divine Light, it ignited with an even more violent roar, like fire poured onto oil.

This Golden Demon Qi, cultivated by the Holy Envoy of Light over centuries of arduous effort, had long since merged with his mind. This sudden attack was like a divine thunderbolt cast into his Sea of Consciousness, causing the Nascent Soul seated within to tremble.

Amidst the roaring clamor in his Sea of Consciousness, the Holy Envoy of Light no longer dared to reclaim the Golden Demon Qi that had been shattered by the Profound Yang Divine Light outside. He even actively severed it, preventing the demon qi ignited by Pure Yang Fire from entering his body.

At this moment, a wisp of crystalline sword-thread once again appeared before him.

If not for Mingzun's continued protection, he would likely have been split in two by now.

Yet, even so, the Holy Envoy of Light was shocked to discover that the dense and formidable Netherworld Protection, which had formed after his jade pendant shattered, had already dissipated by fifty to sixty percent in its struggle against the Primal Yang Sword Fiend.

It was important to remember that this was a Deity Transformation stage technique. Even though the Primal Yang Sword Fiend was already fifth-tier and represented the Sword Dao realm of condensing a sword into a thread, Mingzun, at his peak, was a late Deity Transformation stage existence. The Netherworld Protection he personally cast had even withstood a blow from a ghost god in the past.

Something was wrong with this person's cultivation technique. Did the One Yuan Dao Palace possess such hidden methods?

Just as the Holy Envoy of Light realized the issue with the Pure Yang Scroll, Chen Mobai's second Nascent Soul had already activated another powerful spell from the scroll!

The Pure Yang Cauldron, which had been dormant, suddenly absorbed a large amount of Pure Yang True Qi, and then a brilliant golden electrical light began to form within it.

This was the Devil-Slaying Divine Thunder, a technique Chen Mobai had mastered after forming his Nascent Soul. However, it had found no practical use, neither in the Immortal Sect nor in the Heavenly River Realm.

After all, he had always defeated any opponent with a single sword strike.

Today, however, he had encountered an opponent who could withstand his sword, so he decided to test this technique on the Holy Envoy of Light!

The moment the electrical light appeared, it rapidly coalesced into a ball, then tore through the Golden Demon Qi that was being refined by the Profound Yang Divine Light and Pure Yang Fire. Like a golden lightning orb, it struck the Netherworld Protection surrounding the Holy Envoy of Light.

Although the Holy Envoy of Light had great confidence in Mingzun's methods, he dared not be negligent at this moment. He immediately bit the tip of his tongue and activated a life-saving talisman!

This was a peak fourth-tier talisman, which he had obtained from a ruin; it was not a demonic talisman.

Although it was only their first encounter with the Pure Yang Scroll, the Holy Envoy of Light's extensive combat experience made him realize that the cultivation technique of this One Yuan Dao Scion was extremely effective against demonic qi, which led him to choose this particular talisman.

After being activated with his heart's blood, a shimmering layer of water appeared from the void, cascading down and transforming into a wave that enveloped the Holy Envoy of Light.

Chen Mobai witnessed this scene, golden lines already forming in his pupils. He used the "Inch-Square Book" to calculate all the changes and both opponents on the battlefield, then, guided by his innate combat intuition, made the optimal judgment.

The Myriad Sword Incarnation, which had been suppressing Su Ziluo, paused for an instant. Then, the Azure Frost Sword unleashed a stream of frosty white sword qi, like a frigid current from a frozen sky. This sword qi, like a cold tide, froze the void. Amidst a thunderous sword hum, it struck from behind but arrived first, cutting in between the Devil-Slaying Divine Thunder and the shimmering water wave!

The Holy Envoy of Light's expression immediately changed drastically.

His fourth-tier "Water Wave Rolling Heaven Talisman" was prematurely detonated by the Azure Frost Sword's cold tide before it could even make contact with the Devil-Slaying Divine Thunder.

What terrified him even more was that his talisman, being precisely countered by the ice-cold attribute of the Azure Frost Sword, had just unleashed waves of water that instantly froze and shattered, turning into snowflakes that filled the sky!

The unobstructed Devil-Slaying Divine Thunder then slammed heavily onto the Netherworld Protection!

Subsequently, this protective shield, personally cast by Mingzun, began to crack, forming fissures under the disbelieving gazes of the Holy Envoy of Light and Su Ziluo.

Wisps of pitch-black Netherworld Demonic Qi seeped out from the cracks. However, this demonic qi, which should have polluted the land, was suppressed by the continuous Profound Yang Divine Light and Pure Yang Fire from outside, melting into black smoke, just like contaminated snow exposed to sunlight, similar to how the Golden Demon Qi had dissipated earlier.

"This is impossible!"

The Holy Envoy of Light stared at this scene in disbelief, as if his faith had been shattered.

His own Golden Demon Technique being broken and countered, he could attribute to his own insufficient cultivation. But Mingzun's Netherworld Demonic Qi also being breached completely shattered the Dao Heart he had upheld for a lifetime!

However, it was at this very moment that the Holy Envoy of Light realized what he must do.

He had to inform Mingzun of this news!

This One Yuan Dao Scion absolutely had to be killed before he could fully mature, otherwise, no matter how many Deity Transformation experts the Demonic Path produced in the future, none would be his match!

As this thought struck the Holy Envoy of Light, he let out a fierce roar. A Nascent Soul, enveloped in dark golden demonic light, emerged from his body, and under his desperate assault, the Golden Demon Twin Wheels unleashed the full power of this fifth-tier demonic treasure.

Chen Mobai could even hear the demonic treasure wailing and cracking!

He immediately knew this was the Holy Envoy of Light's final counterattack!

The "Inch-Square Book" quickly analyzed the power of the opponent's strike. He could easily evade it using Spatial Travel, but that would allow the Holy Envoy of Light to use the demonic treasure to escape with his Nascent Soul.

Having fought to this extent, and possessing the ability to slay his opponent, Chen Mobai would certainly not grant him a way out!

The Devil-Slaying Divine Thunder and Dousing Fire would strike simultaneously, reducing him to dust!

Having made up his mind, Chen Mobai's main body took out the half-refined Tusita Eight Sceneries Lamp. A cluster of violet-green divine flame, fueled by his surging Pure Yang True Qi, began to burn fiercely within it.

Simultaneously, his second Nascent Soul puffed out its cheeks, combining the power of the Pure Yang set, and once again exhaled a mouthful of exceptionally pure Innate Pure Yang True Qi into the Pure Yang Cauldron beneath it.

*Boom!*

Another mass of Devil-Slaying Divine Thunder instantaneously coalesced!

At this moment, the Holy Envoy of Light, using his Nascent Soul to control the Golden Demon Twin Wheels, had transformed into a continuously rotating dark-golden light wheel, like a spinning blade, attempting to flee in the opposite direction of the second Nascent Soul!

However, amidst a flicker of silver light, Chen Mobai had already used Spatial Travel, instantly appearing before the Holy Envoy of Light and flinging out the fiercely burning violet-green divine flame from the lamp in his hand.

The Holy Envoy of Light, who had already maximized his speed, had no time to change direction and plunged directly into the Dousing Fire.

Fifth-tier True Fire! How many trump cards did this young man have? The One Yuan Dao Palace truly had a profound foundation!

The moment he plunged into the violet-green flames, the Holy Envoy of Light felt his Golden Demon Twin Wheels, which were connected to his mind, showing signs of melting, and the Nascent Soul hidden within them became faintly illusory.

But at this point, it was a path with no return. If he retreated, the even more terrifying Devil-Slaying Divine Thunder awaited him.

The Holy Envoy of Light urged his Nascent Soul, exhaling a mouthful of refined primal demonic qi, which had been cultivated for centuries and was close to fifth-tier profundity.

With the primal demonic qi's blessing, the Golden Demon Twin Wheels, whose surface had already begun to melt, suddenly erupted again with terrifying dark-golden demonic light. Their speed dramatically doubled, allowing him to burst out of the Dousing Fire.

Chen Mobai couldn't help but be slightly surprised by this sight.

The opponent's tenacity was somewhat beyond his expectations, but fortunately, he still had trump cards!

With a thought from his spiritual sense, another Dousing Fire ignited in the half-finished Tusita Eight Sceneries Lamp in his palm.

Then, sensing that his opponent might still have reserves of strength, Chen Mobai, despite the consumption of his own Pure Yang True Qi, condensed a third Dousing Fire.

He had long since mastered the method for condensing Dousing Fire. After forming his Nascent Soul, and with both the Violet-Green Twin Swords advancing to the fifth-tier, the speed of condensation had become even faster.

However, Chen Mobai was usually busy with other matters, so he generally had the Violet-Green Twin Swords condense the fire themselves in the sky.

Of course, he paid them spirit stones as compensation.

For each complete Dousing Fire, he would give the twin swords a top-grade spirit stone. In addition, the Violet-Green Twin Swords could continuously possess a Dousing Fire to refine themselves, along with benefits like the Sword-Washing Pool.

These incentives kept the Violet-Green Twin Swords highly motivated.

To date, Chen Mobai already possessed nine complete Dousing Fires. However, with his current cultivation, he could only activate a maximum of six.

For every layer he broke through in the Nascent Soul realm, he could control one more.

Yet, no opponent had ever forced Chen Mobai to use all six Dousing Fires!

The Holy Envoy of Light truly lived up to his reputation as a demonic path grandmaster, having pushed Chen Mobai to use three!

The Holy Envoy of Light, who had just burst out of one Dousing Fire and was about to split the Golden Demon Twin Wheels to escape in two separate directions, suddenly saw two more violet-green flames igniting in the purple-golden lamp Chen Mobai held. Despair immediately washed over his face.

At the same time, the Devil-Slaying Divine Thunder, controlled by the second Nascent Soul, had also caught up.

The Holy Envoy of Light, even if he wanted to retreat, couldn't. He could only brace himself and face the onslaught of the two Dousing Fires and the Devil-Slaying Divine Thunder head-on.

With a deafening roar!

This desolate ruin immediately transformed into a chaotic scene of intertwined flames, lightning, demonic qi, frost, sword-threads, and other forces, almost resembling the creation of a new world, with only natural disasters raging mightily.
