Chapter 570: Chapter 570: The Final Battle (Part 7) (Third Update)
Xia Jiuyou quickly recovered from his shock.
Now was not the time to think about these things.
"Slash!"
With a roar, a massive Sword Qi mercilessly slashed towards Ling Chen.
"Green Lotus Bloodline!"
Ling Chen secretly commanded in his heart, raising his left hand as a stream of fresh blood surged from his palm, transforming into a red line and landing on the quietly spinning Green Lotus before him.
As the Green Lotus Bloodline infused into it, the petals of the exquisite green lotus seemed to become even more vivid.
"Go!"
Ling Chen uttered coldly.
The exquisite Green Lotus flew towards the giant Sword Qi that spanned the sky.
Both attacks were incredibly fast.
They collided in the sky almost instantly.
"Boom!"
A sound as loud as thunder from the ninth heaven exploded in everyone’s ears.
Many Cultivators were directly forced to retreat by the shock of this sound.
Afterward, a near-endless terrifying wave of energy ravaged the sky.
Fortunately, the energy wave was within the True Demon Realm.
It did not spread to the crowd.
The gap in Spiritual Power between the two was threefold, yet Ling Chen, using a mid-tier King Spirit Technique in the early-to-mid stages of the Palace Mansion Realm, entirely compensated for the gap in Spiritual Power.
Moreover, the Green Lotus received a boost from the Green Lotus Bloodline.
Thus, the exquisite Green Lotus crushed the giant Sword Qi.
Then it continued to fall towards Xia Jiuyou.
Seeing his own attack shattered by Ling Chen, Xia Jiuyou finally realized that Ling Chen indeed possessed a mid-tier King Spirit Technique!
However, facing such a terrifying attack, he dared not take it lightly.
"True Demon Bell!"
Overwhelming black Demonic Qi spread from his body, together with Spiritual Power, condensing into a large black bell.
"Boom!"
The exquisite Green Lotus fell rapidly, colliding with the black bell.
"Dong!"
A sonorous bell tone resonated.
Strange glowing characters appeared on the black bell.
After a deadlock for a few breaths, both the Green Lotus and the black bell vanished.
Receiving this attack from Ling Chen, Xia Jiuyou’s chest heaved violently, and even the black Demonic Qi on his body became much fainter.
His gaze still stern, Ling Chen looked at Xia Jiuyou.
The defensive power of Xia Jiuyou’s last employed Black Bell Spirit Technique was truly formidable.
He had used the Green Lotus Bloodline, intending to kill Xia Jiuyou in one strike.
Who would have known that he actually managed to withstand it with the Black Bell?
"Xia Jiuyou, I want to see how many more attacks you can block?"
Ling Chen’s expression turned frosty.
He could certainly tell that the Black Bell Spirit Technique was not easy to execute.
It consumed a great deal of Xia Jiuyou’s strength.
"Green Lotus Blossoms!"
With a thought, Ling Chen once again used the second form of the Green Lotus Sword Manual, the Green Lotus Blossoms, comparable to a mid-tier King Spirit Technique.
Xia Jiuyou’s face dramatically changed as he observed the exquisite Green Lotus shooting towards him.
"Shoo!"
Xia Jiuyou hastily executed a low-tier Body Technique King Spirit Technique, the Sky Goose Sky-Sweeping Technique, darting away into the distance.
Ling Chen’s mid-tier Heavenly Spirit Technique was simply not something he could withstand!
"Boom!"
The Green Lotus exploded at Xia Jiuyou’s original position.
Ji Wuya, Liu Qingcang, Ling Wu, and Ling Tianxing, among others, were jubilantly surprised as they watched Ling Chen take complete advantage.
Ye Fentian and his two companions also breathed a sigh of relief.
In order to avoid Ling Chen’s attack, Xia Jiuyou had severed his connection to the Demon Blood Torrent.
The blood-colored torrent instantly plummeted downwards.
However, when Xia Jiuyou reappeared, the blood-colored torrent reconnected.
Xia Jiuyou, his face dark, stared at Ling Chen and said coldly, "Do not think that a fierce attack will help you escape death’s fate! Today, you are still destined to die!"
"Is that so? An old man, who doesn’t even dare to face my attacks, still blustering here? I’ll see what other tricks you have up your sleeve?"
Ling Chen sneered back.
"Then watch closely with your dog eyes!"
Xia Jiuyou snarled through clenched teeth.
He never expected that Ling Chen would have so many cards up his sleeve.
Even after ascending three levels in a row, he was unable to kill him!
However, since he has transformed into a demon, of course, he has even more bizarre methods.
One way or another, he must slay Ling Chen!
As his words fell, Xia Jiuyou’s hands once again formed a strange hand seal.
At the moment the hand seal was formed, the blood in the bloody torrent separated and surged toward the heavens above.
Like a fountain of blood, it seemed to rush up above the nine layers of heaven!
And bizarrely, this blood did not fall back down.
It’s as if above the nine heavens, some demon has collected the blood.
"Boom!"
Xia Jiuyou’s body shook, and blood seeped from his skin.
"Essence Blood!"
Xia Jiuyou shouted loudly, the blood converging to form a clump the size of a baby’s fist.
Indeed, this clump was his Essence Blood!
Within a Cultivator’s body, there’s only a limited amount of Essence Blood.
This was nearly half of Xia Jiuyou’s Essence Blood.
He knew that this time, even if he escaped the pursuit of the Burning Flame Sect, it would likely take him decades to recover his Primordial Energy.
"Lord Sky Demon, True Demon Xia Jiuyou, with half my Essence Blood and the blood of hundreds of thousands of Demon Servants, I beseech you to grant me a trace of Sky Demon Power to extirpate Ling Chen!"
Xia Jiuyou said respectfully.
Demons also have their ranks.
Demon Cultivators at the Palace Mansion Realm are known as True Demons.
Only those at the World Realm are Sky Demons!
As his voice faded, Xia Jiuyou’s Essence Blood soared along with the bloody fountain, rushing toward the nine layers of heaven.
"Granted!"
When all the blood was drawn into the Void, leaving nothing behind, a voice full of majesty came from above the nine heavens.
"Whoosh!"
A beam of light descended from the sky, shooting toward Xia Jiuyou.
"Not good!"
Ling Chen’s face drastically changed.
He had not expected that Xia Jiuyou could actually borrow power.
With Xia Jiuyou showing such respect, the power of this so-called Sky Demon must be truly terrifying!
"Green Lotus Blossoms!"
Ling Chen immediately executed the second technique from the Green Lotus Sword Manual, slashing at Xia Jiuyou.
"Vermin, how could you possibly withstand the Sky Demon Power of this Heavenly Demon?"
Once again, a majestic voice came from above the nine heavens.
Then, another beam of light burst down from the sky.
This beam moved at an extreme speed, instantly landing on Ling Chen’s green lotus.
Next, the green lotus shattered directly, breaking into countless fragments and dissolving into Spiritual Energy of nature, before dispersing into the world.
"What?"
Ling Chen’s face drastically changed again.
The Sky Demon had actually acted against him.
"Is this World Power?"
Li Xuan exclaimed in shock.
This beam of light clearly possessed World Power, which only emperors should have.
This Sky Demon was a World Realm powerhouse!
Could Demon Cultivators be so terrifying?
To be able to summon World Power like this?
As the situation evolved unpredictably, the hearts of Ji Wuya and the others were once again lifted.
At that moment, the beam of light aimed at Xia Jiuyou finally descended.
Xia Jiuyou was instantly enveloped.
"So powerful!"
Xia Jiuyou’s face showed a look of enjoyment.
In his right hand now, there was a starlight shining brilliantly.
Indeed, it was the Sky Demon Power bestowed by the Heavenly Demon.
"Ling Chen, die for me!"
Holding the Sky Demon Power, Xia Jiuyou was full of spirit and his face twisted with a sinister expression as he declared.
"Nether Flame Diancang Slash!"
Xia Jiuyou once again executed a low-grade King Spirit Technique.
A terrifying Sword Qi appeared once again.
Next, that Sky Demon Power attached itself onto the Sword Qi.
