Chapter 317: 152: Heavenly River Town Suppressing Demons_2
Shen Yuan held the Darkness-Light Sword, with Primal Chaos Energy already merged into it, the union of the sword and Elemental Qi spread across the landscape and stood before his chest.
Just by standing there, Shen Yuan felt as if he was connected to the arteries of the Earth of the Sky High Plateau, bearing the profound roots of this hundred-mile plateau.
Every sword swing precisely blocked Yu Zaoqian’s onslaught, forcefully stopping the rising killing intent.
Yu Zaoqian, who was confronting Shen Yuan, had no traces of relaxation in her eyes. She could clearly perceive every strike being interrupted before its full power could be unleashed.
That seemingly light sword was as if it bore the weight of the whole plateau. One strike was enough to make her blood and Qi roil.
No matter what methods she used, she could not break through the defense set up by Shen Yuan’s sword. However, the power and techniques displayed by Shen Yuan were not invincible.
This feeling of being manipulated and controlled by others gave Yu Zaoqian an indescribable sense of frustration.
At this point, the Great Celestial Hound and Shuten-doji had already broken through the blockade of the mountain’s earth veins and rushed beneath the Divine Tree.
Before even reaching, Shuten-doji’s reckless remarks echoed beneath the Divine Tree.
“I concede that he has some skill, but in the end he’s only comparable to a cultivator at the Spirit Refining Stage. You, who have a realm higher than him, are barely holding on, it seems your title of Great Demon King is undeserved.”
“Damn it!”
Yu Zaoqian’s face instantly changed. As the Great Demon King, she naturally couldn’t be disturbed by a few words from Shuten-doji.
However, as Shuten-doji opened his mouth, she could clearly perceive that the dull yellow eye in the sky was focusing its gaze on her.
In the scrutiny of the Dusk Eyes, Yu Zaoqian felt an indescribable malice.
Yu Zaoqian realized that she had to achieve something to win the approval of the will of the heavens and earth. Her perfectly beautiful face now revealed an undisguised killing intent.
“Natural Divine Power· Kingdom’s Downfall Bewitchment!”
Nine illusory fox tails forcefully broke through Shen Yuan’s sword, shackling his Spirit Soul like chains, and dragged him into the illusion created by her Divine Skill.
Shen Yuan transformed into an emperor, lighting up signal fires to bring an army, all for a smile from the concubine that Yu Zaoqian had become.
He was also indulged in the wine pool meat forest, enjoying himself with the demon concubine.
All the power and prosperity in the world were constantly luring Shen Yuan into the world of illusions.
In an instant, everything had changed drastically, with a hundred generations sinking into oblivion.
Despite Shen Yuan mobilizing the Primal Chaos Energy, he still couldn’t stop the influence of the Natural Divine Power that directly invaded his Spirit. Shen Yuan could already feel his Spirit Soul beginning to fall into darkness, and the light in his Spiritual Platform was fading rapidly.
Once the Light of the Spiritual Platform was extinguished, Shen Yuan would be forever lost in the illusion of Kingdom’s Downfall Bewitchment and unable to find his true self.
“By relying on Primal Chaos Energy and the accumulated momentum of earth veins for more than ten years, he barely achieved a level comparable to the Spirit Refining True Being through the Path of Refinement.”
However, the foundation of all this was just the Primal Chaos Energy and the momentum of the earth veins; in the end, these aren’t his own powers, which was why they were so easily influenced by the laws of the Spirit Soul.”
“If he had truly cultivated the Yang God, experienced an external tribulation, and his Yang God remained undamaged, he would definitely be able to resist the Natural Divine Power that directly invaded the Spirit Soul.”
“Power that is not one’s own, in the end, is only a castle in the sky, a mirror flower in water.”
With a sigh in his heart, his vision inside the Kingdom’s Downfall Bewitchment seemed to pass through the illusion, looking at the three Great Demon Kings who had gathered beneath the Divine Tree.
“Since it’s a tree, how can you not water it?”
While in the illusion, Shen Yuan softly chanted as he made a hand gesture:
“Rain Invocation!”
Yu Zaoqian, who had transformed into the concubine and nestled beside Shen Yuan, looked at him with a sarcastic gaze. In the illusion she controlled, everything was unreal.
Even the Earthly Destroyer Divine Power was hard to invoke under such unreal foundation.
Yet in the very next moment, when Shen Yuan’s words fell, the Kingdom’s Downfall Bewitchment illusion was stagnated in an microsecond.
Sudden changes occurred in the sky of the illusion resembling the scene of an apocalypse. The terrifying force directly tore the illusion apart, with Yu Zaoqian who was beneath the Divine Tree turning pale, her eyes full of disbelief.
Following that, in the outside world, vast dark clouds engulfed the sun, swallowing all the light between heaven and earth.
A stroke of dark-red thunder fell, as if an ancient Lightning God swung his hammer and forcibly smashed a huge hole in the sky.
In an instant, the Heavenly River flowed backward, with the Waters of the Heavenly River, seemingly adorned with all the starlight, rushing down towards the Divine Tree. The three Great Demon Kings were quickly inundated by the Waters of the Heavenly River.
While they were in the vast rain formed by the Waters of the Heavenly River, nature’s spiritual energy was cut off at this moment and any Divine Arts were obliterated under the Waters of the Heavenly River.
Yu Zaoqian, looking terrified, tried to ascend into the sky to escape, but in the Waters of the Heavenly River – neither feather could float, nor bird could cross.
Among all the realms, only a True Dragon or soldiers of the Heavenly River could cross the Waters of the Heavenly River. Despite her cultivation as a great demon king, Yu Zaoqian couldn’t break through the Waters of the Heavenly River.
All three Great Demon Kings were submerged under the backward-flowing Waters of the Heavenly River, and the Divine Tree that stretched across the entire mountain was now bathing in the Waters of the Heavenly River, its leaves shaking as if rejoicing.
The Heavenly River Water, carrying starlight, was absorbed by the Divine Tree in large amounts. The Sun-Moon Fruit, which was nurtured beneath the Divine Tree, started to grow at a visible speed.
And this, was Shen Yuan’s true objective.
