431 - Senior Sister Is on Top

Just as the barrier of the demon realm was on the verge of being shattered by the surging seawater, a divine tree and a wooden bird stood firmly in front of the immense wall of water, using their sturdy branches and trunk to hold it in place. “Master!” Tang Muxi was overjoyed. Realizing the preciousness of even a moment’s delay, she dared not waste any time. She and the other demon kings, including her senior sister, immediately went to provide support. Together they resisted, astonishingly halting the advance of the water wall. Not only that, but there also seemed to be a hint of repelling it. “Sister! The Imprisoning Demon Blade!” Jiang Yin nodded, mustering his entire strength to sweep through the air, cleaving the seawater with force. Seeing the colossal wave about to collapse, Chao E would not just let it be. He once again condensed his ghost imprint's divine power and simultaneously shouted, “Attack!” Yan Sheng summoned the Demonic God Halberd, tearing apart the talisman given by “Mo,” and unwaveringly hurled the fierce war halberd toward the demon realm. At that moment, the heavens and earth paled in comparison. --- **Chapter 246** The Demonic God Halberd, the legendary artifact said to be most attuned to the Demonic God's clan. Ten thousand years ago, the Demon God's clan led a rebellion against the divine ruler, encroaching upon the demon realm under the leadership of the first Demon Emperor and the ancient Demonic God ancestor. The last divine emperor, fulfilling the will of heaven and earth, arrived in the ancient realm with nine divine artifacts to quell the rebellion. Later, to prevent the ancient Demonic God from obtaining all the artifacts and usurping the power of heaven and earth, he returned them to the heavens. The Demonic God Halberd was the only one actively attracted to the battle intent and bloodlust of the demon realm. Unlike the Soul Extermination Disk collected by the demonic descendants, it sought conflict on its own. It thrives on war and bloodshed, and each time it emerges, it claims countless lives. This time would be no different. Pooling his lifetime of knowledge, the Demon Emperor concentrated all his power into a single point, guided by a divine demon talisman, continually tempering and enhancing the war halberd. Finally, he staked everything and hurled it fiercely toward the vast floating island of the demon realm. This was the peak of his lifetime power, so much so that even heaven and earth were shaken. The domineering demonic aura cleaved the sky, shattering space, scattering countless turbulent currents, completely annihilating any spiritual energy in its path. Boom! A massive thunderclap erupted in the sky, its dazzling lightning exuding an overwhelming divine power. But even so, it paled in comparison to the imposing momentum of the Demonic God Halberd! Chao E was momentarily dazed, stunned by the war halberd capable of splitting the heavens and earth, feeling his very soul freezing in place. He could not withstand this blow. It was no wonder that the revered master had specifically instructed that only the Demonic God Halberd could destroy the demon realm. Now it seemed there was no exaggeration. Chao E's face grew grim, devoid of any joy. The Demon Emperor's strength was too great, posing a significant threat to him. After all, there was only one Lotus Water Throne, and in the quest for supremacy, there could be only one victor. This strike was too overwhelming. Before the people of the demon realm could even react, the war halberd imbued with destructive energy was already right before them. At that moment, the true power of gods and demons manifested, with no one present able to withstand it directly. Tang Muxi had no time to alter the formation or use the Bagua of Heaven and Earth to fend off the war halberd. In the blink of an eye, it was just a few dozen feet away from her. No escape, certain death! An unprecedented sense of oppression bore down on her! Cold sweat soaked her back! If she were a peak divine sovereign, perhaps she could rely on her divine realm's cultivation to resist. But now, barely having reached the tribulation stage, her cultivation was still unstable! “Junior Sister!” Jiang Yin was not far from her, but even a mere ten feet felt like a chasm of life and death. No one had anticipated that the thousand-foot wave was merely a diversion, the true lethal weapon being the Demonic God Halberd. Jiang Yin’s eyes turned blood-red with near madness, channeling the fastest speed he could muster with the Starshift Technique. Even he did not notice a mysterious spatial law flickering subtly. But it was too late; even though the Starshift Technique could cover a hundred miles in a step, it was no match for the Demon Emperor's full-force strike, particularly enhanced by the strange talisman. Just as he saw his junior sister about to fall, a golden light flashed by. The war halberd glowed with golden runes and at the last moment veered off course! It grazed her shoulder, plummeting behind her! Immediately following, a snow-white figure rushed forward, grabbing Tang Muxi and disappearing. The person seemed well-versed in the power of teleportation, traversing miles in an instant, reappearing hundreds of feet away with her friend. “Made it… I made it,” Bai Ling muttered. She hadn’t noticed the golden light and thought that even with her mastery of spatial teleportation, saving someone under the Demon Emperor’s watch was almost impossible. But she had succeeded. Before she could snap out of her daze, someone rushed over and embraced Tang Muxi tightly. Jiang Yin, not expecting his junior sister to survive, was both relieved and overjoyed, though he was too shocked to speak coherently, “Thank goodness… thank goodness…” The terror had been too great, leaving him trembling. Tang Muxi understood completely, hugging Jiang Yin fiercely, feeling the joy of narrowly escaping death. “This kindness, I will never forget,” Jiang Yin said to Bai Ling, his eyes filled with solemn gratitude. Bai Ling, slightly embarrassed, replied, “Just share some good food with me later.” Their brief moment of warmth ended quickly, for the crisis had not truly passed. Though Tang Muxi had escaped death, the Demonic God Halberd still hung in the air. At the critical moment, it had veered off and now hurtled towards the demon realm. The force of the divine weapon collided with the barrier, which shattered almost instantly under the blow. An unrivaled war halberd descended like a sovereign, smashing through ground and sky alike. Buildings within a hundred-mile radius collapsed, forests destroyed, and boulders turned to dust. The entire floating island shuddered violently, almost on the verge of collapse. Immediately, thirteen dark lights flashed, and from the depths of the earth, a powerful hidden formation activated, unleashing an unparalleled force. With a resounding boom, thirteen talismans exploded, fracturing countless layers of rock. Sacred earthfire erupted, cities crumbled, and the ground split, spreading hideous cracks all over. This once idyllic haven was blasted to pieces, even nearly causing the distant divine realm of Chang He to plummet.
