Chapter 480 -452: Sect Master Shen Makes a Killing

Blood waves rolled out against the sky, revealing six major pillars within.

As well as the crimson figure seated cross-legged on a meditation cushion in the middle, holding a whisk, encircled by nine demons.

The howls of fearsome beasts seemed to drift up from the bottom of the abyss.

But everyone’s gaze converged entirely on the purple qi around the crimson figure.

“A celestial palace?”

The dragon-headed general’s heart skipped a beat, and his expression grew wary.

He instinctively turned his gaze towards Shen Yi’s young face… It didn’t seem to be the Illusory Form Technique, the other was only at the second level of the Return to Void Realm, it was simply because of his young age.

This must be some young master from a prominent family out on a sojourn.

The Fairy of Baohua was even more stunned in place, struggling to imagine that this so-called Loose Cultivator who was willing to slay demons for her all along the way, just for twenty Demon Cores, could casually summon a layer of the celestial palace.

Even so…

Even if it was a celestial palace, it merely indicated exceptional talent and nothing more, and could not really cause substantial harm to a demon at the Fifth Level of Returning Void.

If it had been anything else, perhaps the demon might have considered retreating due to concern over the identity behind the opponent.

But this Turtle Demon had resolved itself to a life-threatening fight.

Such a scene would only make it more violent and murderous, as it sought to clear the way for the Serpent Woman.

Indeed, the Turtle Demon merely froze for an instant before recovering sooner than anyone else.

The determination in its eyes did not waver in the slightest: “Kill!”

Shen Yi looked up at the Dao Palace above, changed his spell in his hand, and the next moment, the crimson figure waved the whisk, sending the purple qi down towards the ground.

As the purple qi completely descended.

Everyone suddenly felt something was off, especially the Fairy of Baohua and the dragon-headed general, both of whom had seen a celestial palace with their own eyes.

This was only Shen Yi’s first time ascending to the palace.

How could he possess such rich purple qi, more than double that of other geniuses!

Moreover, what puzzled people further was that he had summoned the Dao Palace but did not employ any spells. Instead, he… infused the exceptionally rich purple qi into his own body.

“Huff.”

Shen Yi withdrew his gaze, focusing intently on the Turtle Demon ahead.

He had only intended to test whether the Spiritual Physique Technique could be enhanced by the celestial purple qi, but as soon as the purple qi touched his body, the golden phoenix within him awakened, its long tail feathers dyed with purple, bursting with even more vigorous life.

The surging golden flames were also tinged with purple.

After briefly feeling the change in his strength, it seemed there was no longer any need to set up any formations.

Shen Yi finally took a step forward.

And then he vanished on the spot.

He reappeared beside the Turtle Demon, whose expression was one of utmost caution, with several Scarlet Flame Seals in his palm, casually slapping towards its temple.

Beneath that seemingly casual palm.

The Turtle Demon felt a violent throb. If it hadn’t swallowed that Treasure Bead, it believed it would not even have had a chance to react.

Nevertheless, it was still a step too slow.

Before it could counterattack, the long fingers had already made their mark. The seemingly ordinary palm strike made the Turtle Demon feel as though it had gone deaf.

Its body was blasted away, the immense force causing the entire Xiao family fortress to collapse.

Boom—

The fully matured Heavenly Phoenix’s Undying Body was comparable to a Fourth Level Return to Void Realm, similar to the Turtle Demon, both having been boosted by some sort of method.

But, clearly, the Hongmeng purple qi gifted by heaven and earth was far superior to that Treasure Bead!

How can the light of a firefly dare to compete with the bright moon.

The complexion of the dragon-headed general was starting to look somewhat wrong.

The Serpent Woman swallowed hard, casting a somewhat timid look for help; even with her perspective, she could tell that the situation was not tipping in her favor as she had imagined.

“So strong,” the Fairy of Baohua bit her lip once more.

In just one day, Shen Yi’s image in her heart had leapt from a Cultivator at the second level of Return to Void to a being only one step away from her level.

The span in between, for an ordinary Cultivator, might take tens of thousands of years to bridge.

The value of these Demon Cores was truly immeasurable.

“…”

The Turtle Demon flew sideways, feeling a burning pain in its Divine Soul.

Still, it was an old demon who had lived a long time, accompanied the Snake Family for more than a hundred thousand years, and its Cultivation was indeed genuine.

The weird Scarlet Flame technique was forcibly suppressed by its willpower.

Its eyes fixed on the collapsing Xiao family fortress.

Following that, its clothes billowed, and the treasure-lit Turtle Shell detached from its body, splitting into eight pieces.

Six of them protected its body, while the other two sliced towards the figure in the ink robe like blades, devoid of any fluctuations of energy, as if they melted into nothingness in an instant.

Only by truly being struck could one understand the power contained within.

Yet, that figure disappeared from its view.

The Turtle Demon’s face slightly changed, and it instinctively looked behind… reflected in its eyes was the figure of the young man hovering in the air and the purple-gold sea of fire that dominated the sky.

Shen Yi lightly flipped his hand and threw another punch!

Accompanied by sharp cries, the sea of fire turned into a golden phoenix spreading its wings and soaring through the sky, then all of it converged into his five fingers.

Boom!

The six parts of the Turtle Shell shattered one after another, making the Turtle Demon’s body explode with pops, engulfed by a faint mist of blood.

A palm strike sent it flying, one fist shattered its armor.

As the blood mist was scattered by the gale, the Turtle Demon saw that handsome face close at hand, and the palm blade that seemed like a death warrant bearing down upon it.

“You’re courting death!”

The dragon-headed general finally erupted with an angry shout.

The halberd in his hand flew out like a dragon, stirring up a blast of air that made the earth tremble as if it would sink into the water at any moment.

“Indeed… you all are deceivers.”

Fairy of Baohua seemed to have anticipated this; the hand hidden within her sleeve had long been preparing the spell.

The immense six-story-tall Flower Palace stood majestic, its splendor resembling that of a fairyland, having so abruptly descended upon the mortal realm.

Two breaths of the green pheasant and three streams of white spiritual energy represented the foundation of her ability to become the Fairy of Baohua.

At the sixth level of Return to Void, her palace had been elevated five times.

All had been graced by the gifts of Heaven and Earth.

Giant pink petals blossomed in the air, and with just a single one, she blocked the tiger-headed halberd’s advance.

During that brief moment,

Shen Yi’s palm blade had already cleanly swept across the Turtle Demon’s neck.

He casually extracted the Demon Core from the creature, as well as the Huaguang Treasure Bead, which had been digested by less than a third.

Indeed, the true Fifth Level of Returning Void could not possibly be so weak.

This formidable effect, the opponent simply couldn’t manifest it—it was all but an empty shell.

Even without the use of Hongmeng Purple Qi, as long as he set up the Iron Sketch Silver Hook Great Formation, it would perhaps be a bit troublesome, but there should be no problem in taking down the opponent.

With this thought, he gathered the Turtle Demon’s corpse into his Finger Ring and turned to look into the distance.

The battle at this point was already entirely beyond Shen Yi’s capacity to be a part of.

But he had other matters to attend to.

“You really dare to make a move?!”

The Serpent General caught the halberd that flew back toward him, soared into the sky, and seeing that the outcome had been decided, could only look at the Fairy of Baohua below with contained rage.

It suggested this wager,

solely confident that the young cultivator was sure to lose.

With its status, it was not qualified to wager a woman favored by the Dragon Lord: “I’ll remind you once more, do not make a mistake!”

“I’ve simply come to a sudden realization about something,”

Fairy of Baohua shook her head, speaking indifferently, “Since the Dragon Queen is searching for it, she will definitely be monitoring the messaging conch of the Western Palace, which is why you chose to use the Jade Slip. Does this not suggest…”

At this point, she suddenly revealed a complex smile, “As long as I kill all of you, no one will have to know.”

Shen Yi had taught her many times through action, pity that she had been somewhat dull, only coming to realize this now.

“After all, in the eyes of others, this is merely two Loose Cultivators, playing the heroes, protecting the Xiao Family Fortress.”

“My people surround this place, what do you have that could possibly contest me?”

As her words fell, Fairy of Baohua resolutely took action, with long cries of the green pheasant echoing from the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace in the sky as spiritual energy converged.

Within the giant peach blossom, a pristine white longsword slowly emerged.

Two breaths of the green pheasant and three streams of spiritual energy rapidly poured into it, adding a few traces of murderous intent to the splendid sword.

Both, on the Sixth Level of Return to Void.

But when it truly came to a fight, there was a world of difference between them.

The title of South Hong’s prodigy was surely not in vain.

“This!”

Feeling the sharpness, so intense it nearly pierced his eyes,

The Serpent General’s face changed color instantaneously.

With a swing of the halberd, hundreds of feet high waves leaped into the air, with roaring waters, as fierce as sea beasts ready to devour everything in their path.

However, at the moment the longsword streaked across space,

The tremendous waves instantly froze mid-air, then silently receded.

The sword, like a white rainbow,

pierced the Serpent General’s fish scale armor and chest, transforming into a dazzling white bloom that sunk into its flesh.

Sssla—

Every petal turned into a small sword, from inside out, causing its body to instantaneously fall to pieces!

Only a bloodied and indistinct carcass remained on the ground, gasping for life.

A single sword strike revealed to the world the difference between a prodigy and a mere leader of the Aquatic Race.

“Huff.”

This was the first time Fairy of Baohua killed a demon, yet she felt no discomfort, her fingers even trembling slightly with excitement.

She raised her hand, ready to end the Serpent General’s life, when her eyes caught a glimpse of Shen Yi walking out from the rubble, holding the Serpent Woman whose spine he had crushed, and who clearly was at death’s door.

“I have something to ask her,” Shen Yi said nonchalantly, looking towards the Serpent General.

“…”

Fairy of Baohua suppressed the trembling in her heart, forcibly withdrew her spell, and nodded, “Alright, go ahead and ask.”

Hearing this, Shen Yi stepped over to the mangled body.

“Get away! This general will not say anything!” The Serpent General mustered the last bit of his strength and roared at the young cultivator.

Shen Yi appeared to hear nothing, whispering something close to the other’s ear.

After a moment, he stood back up, waited briefly, and frowned slightly, “Unwilling to talk, then die.”

“Hm?”

The Serpent General shook its head forcefully, even suspecting it had gone deaf.

It hadn’t heard a thing!

However, it was met with a palm blade similar to the one before.

Splat!

[Having slain the Return to Void Realm dark-backed Serpent Demon, with a total lifespan of one hundred fifty-three thousand years, and remaining lifespan of twenty-seven thousand years, absorption complete.]

Shen Yi put both corpses into his Finger Ring and pursed his lips, “…”

Fairy of Baohua looked over with concern, “Why not ask more questions? You don’t need to worry about me, I can still help you hold out for a while.”

“There’s no need, it’s just a minor matter,”

Shen Yi shook his head, unable to continue the conversation as he felt his lips wanting to curl into a smile.
