Chapter 676 - 51: The Outcome Is Determined, but Not Life and Death

Within the vortex of Demon Fog before the young man in the white shirt, a Profound Gold Demon Pattern Long Saber slowly rose.

The body of the saber was neither metal nor wood, as if polished from the horn of some demonic beast. It was extremely coarse, yet its edge was incomparably sharp.

The young man in the white shirt gripped the hilt and pulled the Demon Saber completely free from the Demon Fog. The aura around him surged like waves. Demonic Light flowed along the blade, and the faint roars of Celestial Demons echoed from it.

He slowly walked out of the grand hall and raised his head to the sky. After sensing his surroundings for a moment, his figure flashed and vanished.

...

「Thousands of miles from the Sealed Ancient Land in the Mingxiao Domain.」

An ocean of black Demon Fog roiled across the sky. Countless Celestial Demons, each a thousand feet tall, swam within it. They pushed waves as high as mountains, their very breath forming clouds.

Not far away, a brilliant, clear light spread out, holding back the Demon Fog. The world within its bounds was peaceful and serene.

Just then, one of the Celestial Demons went rigid, freezing in place.

The next moment, the Demonic Light on this Celestial Demon flared, and with a sudden flash, it vanished.

In its place stood a young man in a white shirt.

It was the Demon Lord.

As for the Celestial Demon, it had switched places with him, appearing countless thousands of miles away beneath the Ten Thousand Demons Origin Tree.

The young man in the white shirt leisurely flew into the area enveloped by the clear light of the Demon-Suppressing Celestial Stele.

An incomparably tyrannical repulsive force descended upon him. The young man in the white shirt frowned slightly, but he immediately ignored it and headed straight for the Sealed Ancient Land.

...

「The Sealed Ancient Land.」

Fang Cheng stood in the sky, drawing down tribulation clouds that filled the heavens.

Dragon Elephant Wanderer presided over the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Treasure Tower Formation, while the three masters—Celestial Venerable of Universal Transformation, Venerable Jiayin, and Feng Yan—acted as his Guardians.

Inside the Treasure Tower Array, the cultivators of the Mingxiao Domain watched with rapt attention, filled with anticipation to see how the world’s foremost expert would overcome three tribulations in a row and achieve perfection.

To witness this moment was the experience of a lifetime.

Outside the Treasure Tower Array.

A waterfall of tribulation lightning cascaded from the sky. Fang Cheng bathed in the bolts, a divine light shimmering around his body, leaving him completely unscathed.

Now that it was cleansed of demonic intent, the Seventh Celestial Tribulation was indeed far less powerful than the Sixth Tribulation he had previously passed.

Behind him, Demonic Light flared like fire as his Netherworld Giant Kun Dharma Aspect swam forth. Its body swelled in the wind until it was ten thousand feet long, blanketing the sky.

The Giant Kun opened its massive maw and, in a single gulp, swallowed the tribulation lightning and clouds whole.

RUMBLE!

Muffled thunder boomed from within the Netherworld Giant Kun, and Thunder Light flashed incessantly before finally falling silent moments later.

A thought stirred in Fang Cheng’s mind, and as if sensing something, he glanced into the distant sky.

He let out a long, leisurely cry, completely releasing the aura he had been suppressing. The world instantly transformed. Above Heaven Crossing Hall, there was nothing but chaos.

Fang Cheng stepped into the chaos.

In an instant, muffled thunder rolled through the world. All that remained was a swirling mass of Chaos Qi, slowly spinning in the void...

The Chaos Qi from the Celestial Dao Origin transformed into a boundless sea of electricity, crashing down upon Fang Cheng.

He threw a punch, scattering the tribulation lightning, and had the Netherworld Giant Kun devour it. But the bolts that followed were even more immense, seemingly endless, as if determined to erase him from existence in this realm.

Fang Cheng had observed Dragon Elephant Wanderer’s own tribulation, so he knew the final two tribulations would be relentless and could not be passed in a moment. He focused his mind and began to battle the heavens fiercely.

Just then, a hundred-thousand-foot-tall demonic figure that blotted out the sun appeared on the horizon. It was shrouded in a ghastly light, its demonic intent surging to the heavens. Wherever it passed, the land transformed back into a Demon Realm.

This colossal demonic figure held a Profound Gold Demon Pattern Long Saber. The great mountains beneath its feet were like small hills, and a single touch from the Demon Saber was enough to turn them to dust.

A sharp light flashed in the eyes of the Celestial Venerable of Universal Transformation, and he immediately flew to intercept the Demon Lord.

The colossal demonic figure raised its Profound Gold Demon Pattern Long Saber. With a swing of its massive arm, a heaven-shaking slash of saber light tore through the sky, aimed directly at Fang Cheng’s Spiritual Mechanism Incarnation.

Fang Cheng summoned the Broken Ancient Bell, which instantly grew to the size of a mountain to block the slash.

A world-shaking BOOM erupted.

A brilliant light suddenly filled the world. Aside from Jia Yin, Feng Yan, and Dragon Elephant Wanderer, the other cultivators were blinded by the chaotic flare, unable to see anything.

Suddenly, the sound of a CRACK reached everyone’s ears. A sense of dread washed over them. ’This is bad!’

When the light dissipated, they saw several new cracks marring the surface of the Broken Ancient Bell. It plummeted to the ground like a cannonball, kicking up a massive cloud of dust.

The colossal demonic figure remained expressionless. The light from its saber flared as the Demonic Light on the Profound Gold Demon Pattern blade surged. The saber light continuously split and multiplied, and in the blink of an eye, it formed a gigantic sphere of demonic blades that crushed its way toward the mass of Chaos Qi where Fang Cheng’s true body was undergoing tribulation.

The Celestial Venerable of Universal Transformation let out a sharp cry. His Tier Six Flying Sword, "Boundless," suddenly transformed into a ten-thousand-foot-long Sword Aura that slashed at the sphere of demonic blades.

BOOM!

In that instant, countless black and white flames erupted, and innumerable slashes of deep, dark saber light blossomed forth.

Fang Cheng activated his Sword Technique. The Boundless Flying Sword suddenly split into thousands of ethereal sword lights, blocking the rapidly approaching slashes.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Saber light and sword light intertwined, filling the sky with thunderous explosions!

The two masters clashed in a deadly battle, the Tier Six Flying Sword smashing against the Supreme Demon Soldier, exchanging thousands of blows in an instant.

The saber light wielded by the colossal demonic figure was incredibly violent; each strike seemed capable of shattering heaven and earth. A single swing could make the very void tremble and stir up a sound like a tsunami mixed with muffled thunder.

The saber light continuously split and blossomed like a black demonic lotus, annihilating hundreds of miles of the surrounding void.

The Celestial Venerable of Universal Transformation was besieged by the endless saber light, his form nearly impossible to discern. Only a brilliant, ever-changing beam of sword light remained, tenaciously blocking the terrifying assault.

The clash of their weapons stirred up terrifying hurricanes of Spiritual Qi. The nearby land cracked, trembled, and collapsed in their wake.
