Chapter 1447: The Gate to the Great Demon
The Gate to the Great Demon
The next moment, Cha-Eun Xiao flashed over at his fastest speed. The Stars Sword was back and firmly held in his hand. As he looked into the short fatty\'s eyes, he blandly said, "Go now. Go in peace. Be the demonic soul that you are meant to be! Go to the end where all the demonic creatures end!"
The short fatty showed a hint of despair in the eyes, and then surprisingly, he started to smile, laughing at himself while staring at Cha-Eun Xiao. In a low voice, he said, "Monarch Cha, can I ask you a favor?"
Cha-Eun Xiao said, "What is it?"
The short fatty bitterly smiled and said, "I heard it from the Red in the Sky. Monarch Cha, you know Master Bai. If someday you meet Master Bai, please bring him a word for me."
Cha-Eun Xiao stared at him and said, "Master Bai? Who are you?"
The short fatty laughed and said, "Just tell him… the Fatty Saint is sorry."
After the last word, he started to laugh like a mad man, and then fell back to the floor.
The short fatty hit the floor with a deep sound, and suddenly, his fat body was broken into pieces. Some dark demonic qi came out from the dead body and gathered to the shape of the short fatty. It was exactly the appearance of the man, with ears and eyes, staring at Cha-Eun Xiao, like he was going to say something. However, before anything happened, the Honor Demon shouted.
"Demonic soul comes!"
A strong power appeared from nowhere, fiercely dragging the short fatty\'s soul to the altars.
Cha-Eun Xiao saw it and he shouted. The purple qi shined around the Stars Sword again, and he made a slash on the short fatty\'s soul. However, unexpectedly, the wonderful purple qi which had always done a great job in the battle did not do anything on the soul. It couldn\'t stop the demonic soul of the Fatty Saint from going into the altar!
With a slight flicking sound, the demonic flame on the sixth altar rose up, and it became yellow in color! It was the yellow demonic flame!
The sixth altar was completed in the battle!
After the sixth altar was finished, the seventh altar started to be surrounded by some dark smoke.
The Honor Demon saw one more altar completed, so he was glad. He laughed loudly and said, "Cha-Eun Xiao, did you see this? All the hard work you did are meaningless. Your effort won\'t make any difference. You are only going to offer your soul energy to my great altars! That is all!"
Cha-Eun Xiao coldly smiled and said, "Oh, really? Do you really think so? Just be patient. You will see your altars fall into pieces in my hands!"
The Honor Demon laughed wildly. Suddenly, he moved with a flash. Eight hands of him appeared to block the attacks from Han Bingxue, Yue Shuang, and Yue Han. A cloud of dark qi suddenly came out from inside his body, and then formed into a person, who then rushed into the crowd in lightning speed.
After that, people\'s screeching sounded up everywhere. Within a second, four superior cultivators of the Qiong-Hua Palace and three superior cultivators of the Misty Cloud Palace died one by one under the attack from the Honor Demon\'s shadow!
The dark shadow took seven lives with one strike, and then moved back to the Honor Demon in no time, back to the fight against Han Bingxue, Yue Shuang, and Yue Han. The Honor Demon arrogantly started to laugh, as if he had already conquered the entire world.
The seven people who were killed by his shadow attack immediately became dried corpses. All the energy of the seven people was dragged into the seventh altar!
Cha-Eun Xiao and Li Wuliang was furious as they saw how the man slaughtered seven good cultivators. They raised their sword and saber together, and rushed toward the Honor Demon. The Honor Demon was laughing wildly and said, "You are overrating yourselves! Do you really think you can stop me from killing whoever I want dead?"
Then he moved with a flash again, and another shadow appeared, in the shape of himself, rushing into the crowd and started killing. The crowd burst into a wave of screech, and over a dozen good men died in the Honor Demon\'s attack.
The dark shadow finished the slaughter again, and then it returned to the Honor Demon. The Honor Demon laughed even harder, and he said, "Look at me. I am invincible here! Cha-Eun Xiao, Li Wuliang, listen! You better just kill yourselves now! If you want me to do it, it is not going to be easy! Do you really want to suffer? The longer you hold on in this battle, the more powerless you will feel about yourselves!"
Cha-Eun Xiao\'s eyes were full of coldness. He didn\'t say a word and just kept attacking.
In the middle of the fight, when things got dangerous, Cha-Eun Xiao actually did the same thing as the Honor Demon. He moved with a flash and created a shadow of his own, which then rushed into the crowd with the splendid sword light. Over thirty Demon Soul Dao superior cultivators screeched after getting hit and then became a cloud of dark smoke.
The Red in the Sky knew how deadly powerful it was, so he did everything he could to avoid being hit by Cha-Eun Xiao\'s shadow attacks. However, unexpectedly, Cha-Eun Xiao gave up the fight up in the sky and started to chase after the Red in the Sky. His sword kept creating energy flows that flew over to the Red in the Sky. The Red in the Sky\'s body got hit again and again, and kept bleeding all over the body. As he kept screeching, he flew up to the sky toward the battle in the air.
There was a hint of entreaty in his eyes, and he said, "Master… Please…"
The Honor Demon blinked and frowned. The Red in the Sky was different from the short fatty. The Red in the Sky was still useful for the Honor Demon. The Honor Demon was going to save him, but another dark shadow appeared between the Honor Demon and the Red in the Sky, who hastily said, "Master… Please…"
Two men begged for help at the same time.
The Honor Demon was surprised, but the dark shadow had already arrived.
Yue Shuang stuck out her sword to make an attack on the dark shadow. However, she was surprised that the dark shadow moved so weirdly. The shadow made a turn and then rushed toward the Honor Demon in lightning speed. The hint of entreaty in his eyes was gone, and it became the fever for blood!
While the man was rushing to the Honor Demon, the long sword in his hand flew out and fiercely stabbed into the Red in the Sky\'s heart!
The Red in the Sky stared at the man who attacked him by surprise, and his eyes turned all red. He then shouted at the man and said, "Hai Zhonglong! Are you out of your mind!"
The man laughed wildly and said to Cha-Eun Xiao, "Cha-Eun Xiao! Look at me now! Today, I want you to know that Master Bai\'s men do not all win fame by deceiving the public! There are heroes too!"
Before he finished talking, he had already held the Honor Demon in arms. The next moment, he directly exploded himself to hurt the Honor Demon!
When the man rushed toward the Honor Demon, he was so close to the Honor Demon that he didn\'t even have time to turn to look at the Red in the Sky while flying out with the sword attack. When he got to the Honor Demon, he just held the Honor Demon in arms roughly. Sometimes, the simplest way was the best way.
The Honor Demon was still thinking. [What the hell is going on here? Why did he come and hug my just like this? What does he want?] Before he realized what happened, that man had already exploded himself!
– Boom! – A big explosion appeared.
What Hai Zhonglong did was too surprising. It was unpredictable and unbelievable. Even Han Bingxue and some others were blown away by the energy wave of the explosion. The Honor Demon, who was the target, screeched and shouted when his one arm was broken away!
Half of his body was dark like hard coke.
The Honor Demon was terribly provoked. He shouted and said, "Hai Zhonglong! What the f*ck have you done…"
However, the man, Hai Zhonglong, had already become some blood and flesh, who definitely could not hear the Honor Demon. No matter what the Honor Demon said, Hai Zhonglong wouldn\'t be able to listen.
Cha-Eun Xiao was shocked as he saw the self-explosion happen. However, there was an indescribable hint of respect in his eyes.
"Three thousand years ago, other than Wan of the Clouds and Xiu of the Heavens, Master Bai had two other great assistants in his House of Chaotic Storms. One was called the Man\'s King on the Lang, while the other was called the Dragon\'s King in the Sea! I thought it was impossible to see the legends since it had been three thousand years since their prime days. What a surprise! Today, I saw the legendary Dragon\'s King in the Sea! The man deserved his fame!
"Rest in peace!
"There are indeed heroes who worked for Master Bai!"
Cha-Eun Xiao solemnly said, "I admit it. know it. I will bring your message to where you want your words to be heard!"
The Red in the Sky was bleeding severely in his chest. His eyes looked demoralized, and he said, "Is it true? There are heroes who worked for Master Bai… I… Am I a hero?"
He bitterly smiled and said, "Hai Zhonglong, I am not as good as you…"
Then he closed his eyes and passed away.
Within one second, his body became a dried corpse.
In fact, the Red in the Sky should be better than this because of his strong cultivation foundation. Even though he got wounded in the chest, Hai Zhonglong\'s attack wasn\'t enhanced by the purple qi, so it didn\'t create a lasting impact on the wound. The Red in the Sky should be healed pretty fast by the demonic qi inside him. If he stayed alive for a while, the Honor Demon might be able to catch up and save him. However, Hai Zhonglong gave a speech that touched people\'s heart before he sacrificed himself. What he said influenced the Red in the Sky. All of a sudden, the Red in the Sky didn\'t want to live such a nasty life anymore. That was why the injury in his chest took his life so soon!
Hai Zhonglong\'s surprising interruption turned over the battle situation. Han Bingxue and Li Wuliang held the sword and saber to start a new round of attacks against the Honor Demon. The Honor Demon was severely injured, but the dark qi seemed to be curing him fast. Some dark qi was wrapping up his shoulder where his arm got blown off, and a new arm was forming up bit by bit in the dark qi.
The Honor Demon still had one hand to fight against the joint attacks from the eight superior cultivators. He seemed to be casual like it was an easy job, but he was gritting his teeth and looking extremely fierce!
"I am not going to spare any of you!"
"When my Demonic Flame Altars are all completed and the Gate to the Great Demon is open, I will extract your souls one by one!" The Honor Demon was shouting, "I am going to torture you for ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years, a million years! Ahhhh…"
A broad stream of glaring sword light appeared again. It was Jun Yinglian and Xuan Bing, who had been awake now, attacking in a dash.
The supreme dan beads might seem to be cheap cabbages in Cha-Eun Xiao\'s pocket, but the dan beads were all valuable treasures that only existed in myths. Every single one of the dan beads was priceless, especially those that were used on particular aims.
If not for Erhuo, the incredible cheating dan-making machine, it would be harder than flying up to the heavens to get one of those dan beads. Xuan Bing had been severely injured and got lost in a coma, but her cultivation foundation was unharmed. After eating some supreme dan beads which recovered energy and healed her wounds, with a slight effort to absorb the dan bead, she was sixty percent back to the prime status. Those were such fabulous dan beads! It was unbelievable, but it was reasonable!
Now, there were ten superior cultivators encircling the Honor Demon. The Honor Demon had been injured a lot, so he didn\'t seem to be so indestructible now, and the union\'s army seemed to be taking the higher position in the battle. However, the Honor Demon\'s new arm was growing out bit by bit!
Jun Yinglian, Yue Shuang, and Yue Han were all experts in cultivation. They knew how two arms were much better than one arm while a man was in a fight. Once the Honor Demon had his arm back, things would be turned over again. The ladies were anxious and worried, but they just couldn\'t defeat the Honor Demon any sooner.
As the war went on, more and more people died in the battle. Over half of the Demon Soul Dao\'s superior cultivators were dead, and seven of the Demonic Flame Altars were completed. After the Red in the Sky died, the seventh altar was completed, too, and the flame was lighted up. The eighth altar started to show dark smoke now…
As it was seen, the nine Demonic Flame Altars were going to be all completed soon.
The Honor Demon was not so strong now but still impossible to kill.
The union\'s army had all the best cultivators in the world together to fight against the Demon Soul Dao this time. Were they going to lose?
Even though they wouldn\'t regret as long as they died in the battle, the hatred would stay deep in their hearts even after they died!
On the other side, Jun Yinglian, the former prime master of the Ice Cloud Palace, was leading many people to attack the eighth altar, alongside with Wenren Chuchu.
Wenren Chuchu was such a smart girl. She figured out the only way to win the war was to destroy one of the nine altars before they were all completed. If they couldn\'t, they would lose the war. Each of the nine altars was all guarded by seven great cultivators. The third altar had lost its guards because of Xuan Bing\'s incredible attacks. However, the Honor Demon was the closest to the third alter. Wenren Chuchu knew that if they turned to attack the third altar, the Honor Demon would kill them all immediately. That was why she decided to gather some good men to attack the eighth altar, which hadn\'t been completed yet.
What Wenren Chuchu and Jun Yinglian chose to do was right, but they were not powerful enough to do it. The seven great cultivators of the Demon Soul Dao who guarded the eighth altar were all at the Cage Phase. The ladies couldn\'t break through their protection, and their plan seemed to be a failure.
The battle kept going. Things were getting worse for the union of all sects in the Qing-Yun Realm.
However, when the Honor Demon nearly got his arm back and took control of the war, he seemed to be shocked all of a sudden. He angrily said with a shout, "What the hell is going on?"
For the first time, the Honor Demon felt astounded and anxious. He made over ten attacking energy flows to drive away the people who encircled him, and then tried to get back to the altar.
Apparently, something went wrong on his side. Things didn\'t follow his clever plan. It must be a big problem, so big, that the Honor Demon could not even spend a little longer to wait for the new arm to come out completed!
Cha-Eun Xiao saw what he was going to do, so he shouted and said, "Stop him right now!"
The others didn\'t know what was happening and why Cha-Eun Xiao was so anxious, but they believed in Cha-Eun Xiao, so they all did their best trying to stop the Honor Demon. The Honor Demon kept roaring and making attacking flows, but he couldn\'t get rid of everybody. Without other alternatives, he moved aside with a flash and made seven shadows of himself, rushing toward the altar together.
If the Honor Demon had a choice, he would not do the shadow clone technique again under such a situation. The shadow clone technique was fabulous, and the shadows he created were like real persons with real cultivation power. The only shortage was that they couldn\'t last long, and except that, it was a perfect technique. To operate such an amazing technique, it took him a lot of energy. If the Honor Demon was in his prime state, it would be just a piece of cake. However, he had been weakened and injured during the fights earlier, and he got severely damaged by the self-explosion of Hai Zhonglong. He was no longer powerful enough to operate that shadow clone technique freely.
Things changed, and he had to check out what had happened, so he used the special technique anyway, and he was running it in an extreme level, making seven shadows at a time. Any one of the seven shadows made it to the altar in time—it might solve the problem for him before it was too late!
But Cha-Eun Xiao, Xuan Bing, Jun Yinglian, Li Wuliang, Han Bingxue, Yue Shuang, Yue Han, and Xue Danru were all experienced fighters in the battle. They surely knew what was going on at the moment… What they did was to try everything they could to stop the shadows of the Honor Demon!
The Honor Demon shouted in fury, "You are all going to die!"
Seven shadows suddenly returned to the Honor Demon, and the Honor Demon moved with a flash again. The next moment, he actually became a huge man that was thirty meters high! In his hand was a giant sword that was wrapped by some floating dark qi. The sword was wielded in big scale, and wherever the sword went over, a spatial fissure appeared in the air.
The Moon Queen accidentally got scratched by the edge of the qi which was created by the Honor Demon\'s giant sword. Her shoulder was injured, and there was a bloody hole on it. The dark qi continued to encroach on the shoulder, and her shoulder withered fast like a dying flower.
The Honor Demon was even more powerful now, so they all tried to get away from facing him directly. They were confused, though. [The Honor Demon is definitely attacking in desperation. Turning into such a giant man, it will definitely consume a lot of energy. What happened? What is it that makes the Honor Demon so desperate? Why did he choose to do this to get leave the fight?]
Xuan Bing happened to glance at something. She saw that the third altar, which she had almost destroyed earlier, had lost the flame… It was put off…
Only some weak dark smoke was rising upon the altar.
Xuan Bing couldn\'t believe what she saw, so she was shocked. She closed her eyes hard and then opened them again, trying to figure out what happened. She was sure the flame was off. That cheered her up! She excitedly spoke loudly to the others, "Guys, hold him off! Do not let him go back to the altar!"
Everybody, whether they knew what was going on or not, attacked the Honor Demon in full power at the same time.
The giant Honor Demon roared crazily and kept attacking back fiercely. Even though he was powerful enough to conquer the entire Qing-Yun Realm, he couldn\'t get rid of all the superior cultivators easily.
As he just stepped out a few steps, somebody would approach to push him back even by sacrificing themselves!
The Honor Demon was provoked, so he kept making angry roars, but there was nothing more he could do. He was in a helpless position now.
After a while, the flame of the third altar was completely off. There was no dark smoke rising up anymore.
The flame was not the only thing that changed in the altar. Those skeletons that the altar was built with were changing…
The bones used to be dark like ink, but now they were turning white…
In fifteen minutes, the bones kept changing and then eventually broke down and became ashes!
The six great cultivators who guarded the altar stood up at the same time and spat out blood. They fell down to the floor and then became skeletons. A wind blew over, and they became ashes too…
They disappeared!
The Honor Demon shouted to the sky and angrily said, "Bastard! Bastard! Bastard! Ahh! What is going on?
"What is going on? What the hell happened?
"Cha-Eun Xiao! Cha-Eun Xiao!"
"Cha-Eun Xiao! You son of a b*tch! Tell me now! Say it! What is going on? What did you do? Ahh! Ahhh!"
One of the nine Demonic Flame Altars was destroyed. The formation of nine altars was broken. The Honor Demon failed to accomplish it in the end. How was he going to endure such a humiliation?
Cha-Eun Xiao got some blood coming out of the mouth. Apparently, he was severely injured, but he didn\'t step back a bit. The Stars Sword fiercely created some shifting light flows, blocking the Honor Demon\'s sight.
At the same time, a white shadow was running out from the ashes of the third altar toward the fourth altar in an indescribable lightning speed…
The white shadow was moving so fast that it fooled everybody\'s eyes. The seven great cultivators who were guarding the fourth altar actually didn\'t notice it. In fact, even if Cha-Eun Xiao didn\'t cover the Honor Demon\'s sight, the Honor Demon might not be able to see the white shadow…
It was the ultimate level of speed! It was the legend of speed!
The Honor Demon had failed to accomplished what he wanted the most in his life, so he became desperate. His attacks became more and more savage and vicious. Cha-Eun Xiao started to feel it difficult to hold on any longer!
Not only Cha-Eun Xiao, but also the others were almost running out of energy.
The Honor Demon was different. He kept pouring energy into his own body, and raged up like dragons and tigers! He was unstoppable!
Cha-Eun Xiao had a lot of supreme dan beads in the pockets, and he had the endless energy coming from the Boundless Space. If he started to feel powerless, the others, even more so.
Xuan Bing and the other several powerful ones could still keep fighting, but they were only holding it with strong will.
When they tried to keep the Honor Demon from going back to the altar, some cultivators exploded themselves to attack the Honor Demon. They did most of the hard work in the fight. Now, as things went this far, even Jun Yinglian started to consider exploding herself.
"Cage Phase cultivators and Golden Core Phase cultivators do not do self-explosion! Please, don\'t do it!" Cha-Eun Xiao was terrified, and he said, shedding cold sweats, "If cultivators in such high levels died here, the energy from your death will probably light up one altar at a time…"
Xuan Bing and the others were shocked and shed cold sweats on the back.
[That is right! How can we forget that?]
What Cha-Eun Xiao said reminded his own people not to make any reckless moves, but it also reminded the Honor Demon what he could do!
[That\'s right! One of the nine Demonic Flame Altars is destroyed, and the formation is broken, but if I can light up the flame again, it will be fixed! Usually, it is extremely difficult to light up one altar at a time, but we have plenty of super-level cultivators here now! There are a lot of people in the Cage Phase even the Golden Core Phase!]
[The nine altars were designed to be filled with nine Golden Core Phase cultivators\' soul energy. One altar is down at the moment, but if I can kill enough people in time, I can fix the broken altar!]
The Honor Demon made up his mind and made a long shout before moving backward fast.
Cha-Eun Xiao and his people were trying to stop him from rushing forward, so none of them expected him to move back. As he was moving back, they all felt relieved with a long breath out. Because they suddenly relaxed, they started to feel dizzy in the head.
They were just too exhausted! There was no other reason!
They had been pushing themselves so hard that their bodies were in an extreme state. Once they relaxed, they became like empty bags…
The Honor Demon moved nearly a thousand meters, and then jumped ahead in a weird position. He actually jumped right back into the crowd and slashed with the giant sword fiercely. He started to kill his way forward like a bulldozer.
He killed not only his enemies, but his own people! He killed anybody he could!
In several seconds, the Honor Demon had slaughtered a bloody way through the crowd from the south to the north. All cultivators, no matter which side they were at, got slaughtered on the way!
The union of all sects in the Qing-Yun Realm and the Demon Soul Dao were both losing their people in this exhausting war. Everybody was almost going to collapse. Nobody had thought that the Honor Demon would become such a lunatic, who killed people from either side. In fact, even if they were in their full power state, they couldn\'t defeat the Honor Demon…
In about ten seconds, the Honor Demon crazily killed nearly one thousand people and the blood ran on the floor like a river!
These people were all powerful cultivators who managed to live to this moment. They were elites of elites, so their soul energy was stronger than regular cultivators. Almost one thousand people\'s death offered the altar a lot of demonic soul. A cloud of dark qi was taken by the eighth altar, and the eighth altar was finally lit up!
The green flame was flickering in the air.
The eighth altar was completed!
After that, the ninth altar started to show some dark smoke rising up too.
Meanwhile, the air in the sky seemed to be twisting.
Everybody, no matter in which side, felt a little dizzy in the head…
The next moment.
Beyond the ninth altar where the demonic qi gathered, darkness appeared. It seemed something was forming up over there.
The Honor Demon\'s eyes were filled with craziness.
"It worked! It worked! Well then, you should all go to die! All of you! Die!"
He started to rush forward again with lightning speed. One life after another was taken by him mercilessly.
The ninth altar was encircled by the dark smoke…
Cha-Eun Xiao and the others tried their best to stop the Honor Demon, but they only protected some of his own people. The cultivators of the Demon Soul Dao were totally on their own… There was nothing Cha-Eun Xiao could do for those people…
[Kill them as you like then…]
This battle began with tens of thousands of people on both sides. Now, there were less than three thousand people in total!
The others were all dead and became demonic souls!
In the sky, the dark qi was still gathering. At this moment, the dark qi in the sky looked like a huge ink jade, shining with some weird but beautiful gloss.
The next moment, the space was more drastically twisted.
There was a door frame showing up from nowhere.
The giant ink jade was the door!
"The Gate to the Great Demon!"
Xuan Bing was gasping because she was exhausted. She was too powerless to continue fighting. When she saw that door frame and the door, her pale face became even more colorless. "That is why… His altars… Those Demonic Flame Altars… He built them to open the Gate… the Gate to the Great Demon. According to the legends, it connects the Qing-Yun Realm to the Demon\'s Realm…"
"Stop him!"
Xuan Bing looked at Cha-Eun Xiao.
She could look at Cha-Eun Xiao because she was the second most powerful cultivator who was only weaker than Cha-Eun Xiao. Everybody, including her, was powerless, except Cha-Eun Xiao. They couldn\'t fight anymore, and they knew it would make things worse if they exploded themselves to attack the enemy. If they died, things would only get worse. The only hope they had was on Cha-Eun Xiao, who had created a lot of miracles in the past. They all hoped that Cha-Eun Xiao could make another miracle for them this time!
Cha-Eun Xiao looked calm and steady. He said with confidence, "Don\'t worry, guys! I have a plan. The Honor Demon is not going to get what he wants!"
Deep in his heart, he was roaring. [Damn it! Erhuo! Do it! Do it now! Do it fast… We are not able to hold it anymore!]
The Honor Demon kept killing more and more people. Soul energy kept going to the altars. The ninth altar was making more and more dense smoke… The Gate to the Great Demon was forming up bit by bit…
