Chapter 867: Demon Morning Night
Chu Yuan grasped, and the Heavenly Hand descended.
The immortal dragon body, under the suction of his Great Devouring Technique, seemed to boil all at once, its curved body suddenly straightened. A rumbling authority inherent to the Dragon Clan overwhelmed him. Even in death, the ferocity of the Dragon Clan was present.
Yet, was mere authority enough to shake Chu Yuan?
But then, an anomaly erupted.
Just as the immortal dragon body was about to be controlled by Chu Yuan, a murky radiance shone forth. It was the aura of immortality, unexpectedly severing Chu Yuan's Great Devouring Technique.
"An immortal has made a move!"
Bone God and The Book of Martial Arts instantly looked over.
Within this space, a figure clad in white garments, carefree and transcendent, descended. He resembled a noble young master, his face extraordinarily handsome with a touch of the demonic.
It was an immortal.
"The dragon body of an ancient god dragon."
The immortal spoke indifferently. He walked over directly, paying no mind to Chu Yuan and the others.
Perhaps he did not even see them—his detachment as an immortal made him overlook those beneath him like Chu Yuan.
He was very arrogant.
"Trying to take something in front of me?"
Chu Yuan pointed, and a bright light exploded forth.
"You dare strike me?"
With a wave of his hand, the bright light exploded in front of him, his eyes then turned toward Chu Yuan, indifferently saying, "You are very bold."
"Ancient Demon Forbidden Zone, Demon Ye Xi!"
Bone God recognized the origins of this immortal.
He had not dealt with this Demon Ye Xi, but there weren't many immortals, and aside from some extremely ancient ones, he knew of some.
And the Ancient Demon Forbidden Zone was also a very ancient place where most of the demon clan's immortals resided. It was created by a powerful being called the Demon God, whose strength was formidable enough to rival that of heavenly deities and mana-like existences.
However, this Demon God had not appeared for a long time; no one knew where he had gone.
"Get lost."
Demon Ye Xi uttered a single word.
Even though the dragon body no longer contained any immortal substances, it was still useful to him. Demon Ye Xi wanted to refine the immortal dragon body to extract the dragon's power, using it as the core for forming one of his powerful Divine Abilities.
A few minor cosmic gods, he did not even take them into consideration.
[Option 1: Seize the immortal dragon body, gain ten thousand Destiny Points, random lottery x1.]
[Option 2: Give up the immortal dragon body, gain ten thousand Destiny Points, random top Cosmic Artifact x1.]
"Immortals think they can take the immortal dragon body from my hands?"
Chu Yuan was domineering, with an emperor's aura effusing, his eyes gathering an intimidating brilliance as he coldly beheld Demon Ye Xi.
The immortal dragon body was too crucial for him, relating to his breakthrough of the fourth step.
Once he reached the fourth step, his strength would undergo earth-shattering changes. What did offending an immortal matter? With absolute power, he could face all the enemies in the world.
Demon Ye Xi gave Chu Yuan a glance, saying nothing.
He directly sent a mighty Demon God Hand to obliterate, being very domineering as an immortal. Since he had dared to utter a word of defiance in his presence, it was better to kill him right away and avoid the annoyance of his prancing about.
The Void Gate suddenly transformed, and the Heavenly Hand fiercely lashed out.
Chu Yuan struck, directly clashing with Demon Ye Xi.
The opportunity for the fourth step was right before him; how could he give up?
Boom! Although Demon Ye Xi had not cared about Chu Yuan initially, this collision made both the Demon God Hand and the Heavenly Hand disintegrate in the void, which altered his expression.
"To defy my immortal power."
Yao Chenye was slightly surprised.
However, it was merely a confrontation; the cosmos god was far from truly combating immortality. His demonic eyes glowed intensely, and with a swift movement, he appeared right in front of Chu Yuan, controlling time and space with a strike meant to obliterate.
"Epoch Reincarnation."
Chu Yuan did not retreat.
His combat power fully unleashed, he deployed his Supreme Divine Abilities. Thunder and lightning surged amid cosmic storms and cycles of time; with a mighty hand, he executed ultimate laws, his extreme power hammering against Yao Chenye's immortal force.
Yao Chenye's attempt to obliterate failed, especially since the Epoch Reincarnation visibly altered his expression.
This cosmos god had indeed mastered an unparalleled Divine Ability.
Without uttering a word, an immortal aura vibrated around him, and a massive ancient demon phantom appeared, with its kind undiscernible, and its demonic eyes captivating the soul. From its eyes, two beams fell, aiming to evaporate Chu Yuan.
Facing the oppression of Yao Chenye, Chu Yuan's momentum grew increasingly immense. Fearless, he would battle anyone who dared to seize the opportunity for his fourth step of ascension. Everyone was his enemy.
He banished himself to the eternal void, and upon reappearing, he was right in front of Yao Chenye, showcasing the sovereign dominance of an Emperor, with divine thunder calamities condensing transformations, terrifying power sweeping over Yao Chenye.
"Unexpectedly, a cosmos god possesses many methods, but in front of immortality, all are illusory."
Yao Chenye was unconcerned; he merely waved his hand gently, dismantling Chu Yuan's aggressive attack.
Such is the power of immortality; no matter how fierce your attacks, a mere wave can dissipate your mana.
Unless Chu Yuan broke through to the fourth step, truly possessing immortal combat power, only then could he break the bounds of immortal mana. This is precisely why he was desperate to make a breakthrough.
"Ancient Demon Four Phases!"
Though indifferent to Chu Yuan's attacks, Yao Chenye was not passive in retaliation.
The force of his immortality suddenly transformed, amalgamating four divine beasts—the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise. The four ancient demon beast phantoms collapsed, evolving into four-sided transformations, reinforcing his ancient Divine Power.
Yao Chenye sought the immortal dragon body to indeed gather and refine these four ancient demon beasts into this ancient Divine Power.
"Demon Clan Divine Abilities."
Chu Yuan's expression remained unaltered, "As an emperor who wields curses, even mighty Divine Powers will ultimately decay in the face of curses."
His Gate of Curses whooshed open, with cursed power rushing tumultuously. A black light shone onto the four transformations, immediately causing the four divine beast phantoms to emit piercing, grievous shrieks as their bodies corroded.
"What is this?"
Yao Chenye exclaimed in shock: "The power of curses, you dare to use the power of curses!"
Even if a cosmos god possessed the strength to contend with immortality, he would not be surprised, for in many cosmic reincarnations, such individuals were not unheard of.
But curses.
He had never heard of anyone who could wield the power of curses.
Was he not afraid of the curse backfiring and entangling him?
Yet looking at this person, there was not a single sign of backlash, but rather a look of nonchalance, as if he mastered the curse for his own use.
Pop! The black smoke of the curse collided with Yao Chenye's body.
All of Chu Yuan's previous eruptions were precisely for the sweeping power of the curse.
"This curse cannot harm the immortal!"
Yao Chenye's expression turned icy cold; although the curse's black smoke couldn't injure him, if ignored, it would fester within his body. Yet addressing it would needlessly consume a massive amount of power.
He would rather face an assault from an immortal of equal stature than deal with such a curse.
"Void Gate, sweep away!"
As the power of the curse collided with Yao Chenye, Chu Yuan stood firm, using the Void Gate in his other hand to sweep the immortal dragon body into it.
Then, under Yao Chenye's watchful eyes, he, along with the Bone God and The Book of Martial Arts, quietly vanished from the scene.
