Chapter 400 - 209: Refining and Devouring, Tongxuan Late Stage

Gu Yun’s cold eyes gazed at the round Crystal Stone suspended in mid-air before him. It radiated a brilliant, netherworld light and pulsed with a terrifying, pure Demon Power. The vast Star Force in his mind circulated frantically before he abruptly absorbed the terrifying Demon Power within the Crystal Stone.

BOOM!

A vast and pure Demon Power entered Gu Yun’s body. The boundless, supreme Star Force instantly refined and absorbed it, transforming it into pure energy that surged through his Four Meridians and Eight Vessels.

Immediately after, Gu Yun circulated the Nine Tribulations Thunder Gang Decision. With his Circulations revolving rapidly, he absorbed the energy at an incredible speed, refining his own body.

At the same time, his Cultivation grew rapidly, surging forward by a huge leap in an instant. Terrifying, gnarled Thunder Arcs coiled around his body, flashing with astonishing light. Their sheer power made the void itself tremble.

BANG!

A moment later, once the vast and endless Star Force within Gu Yun’s body had completely refined the pure Demonic Power contained in the round Demon Crystal Core, his Cultivation abruptly reached the Tongxuan Realm Late Stage. The void roared, its power surging like a tsunami crashing against the heavens.

Then, the boundless Star Force drawn by Gu Yun’s Divine Thought from the stars high above gradually dissipated.

His eyes, which had been utterly cold and as emotionless as the Celestial Dao itself, now returned to normal.

’The Tongxuan Late Stage already...’ Gu Yun felt his Magical Power had multiplied several times over, becoming as vast and deep as an abyssal ocean. His strength was now enough to shatter the heavens and split the earth.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes as he muttered to himself.

’What kind of Heaven-Defying Technique is this Great Dream Star Soul Refining Technique, that it can even devour and refine a Demon Crystal Core containing such terrifying energy?’

After pondering for a moment to no avail, Gu Yun shook his head slightly. His eyes gazed toward the distant, blood-dark sky, then his figure suddenly transformed into a streak of light, tearing through the air and gradually vanishing over the horizon.

...

Meanwhile, at the very moment Gu Yun devoured the three-eyed man’s Demon Crystal Core, a scene unfolded an immense distance away within the Void Celestial Battlefield. Under a dim sky, dozens of towering, majestic buildings hung suspended in the void, each exuding a primordial, ancient aura.

Within one such pavilion—a structure dark and profound, adorned with intricate carvings, seeming like an azure dragon soaring to the heavens—a figure floated cross-legged amidst motes of faint, spectral light. He wore a dark red battle robe, his face was ancient, his eyes were deep, and a vertical eye was set in his forehead. His body pulsed with an endless, pure, and vast Demon Qi.

"Who!!"

"Who killed my son!!" The ancient, vertical-eyed man snapped open his deep eyes, a spectral light flashing within them. His gaze was filled with glacial killing intent, and an extreme murderous aura erupted from him like that of a Primordial Fierce Beast, threatening to devour a person whole.

RUMBLE!!

The aura erupting from his body was like an endless tsunami, cracking the very void. In that instant, the heavens and earth for thousands of miles around began to tremble violently.

The exquisitely pure Demon Monster Dao Rhythm made the world itself seem to tremble in fear. Had any other Harmonization Giant Level Cultivators been present, they would have surely recognized this overwhelming Demonic Authority. It belonged to the terrifying Harmonization Level Demon Fiend, Cang Ghost—one of the great Demon Fiend giants invading this world!

Then, the vertical eye on the terrifying, Harmonization Level elder’s forehead shot out a beam of spectral light, forming a screen of light in the void above him.

A flickering scene appeared upon it: a young man in a white robe, wreathed in crimson Thunder, battling the three-eyed man across the vast sky.

The scene culminated with a vast, boundless, golden palm—as if arriving from beyond the cosmos, blotting out the sun and sky, and imbued with Divine Power—crushing the three-eyed man with irresistible force and utterly annihilating him from the world.

BANG!

Cang Ghost’s eyes flew wide with rage. The deep vertical eye on his forehead dilated, veins bulged on his temples, and the screen of light in the void instantly shattered!

A terrifying aura caused the surrounding world to churn and quake like a boundless tsunami. For tens of thousands of miles, the sky turned a dim, blood-red, as if the heavens themselves were enraged, striking terror into the hearts of all.

"KILL!!"

Cang Ghost’s ancient face twisted into a ferocious snarl, his eyes brimming with horrific killing intent. Locking onto the youth’s aura, his figure abruptly vanished. He tore through the Void Celestial space, traversing the firmament and carrying a world-ending killing intent as he hurtled toward the white-robed youth’s location.

...

Within the vast Void Celestial Battlefield, which stretched for tens of millions of miles, lay a dim and gloomy forest of ancient, towering trees. Deep within this forest, demonic whispers could be faintly heard, making the place feel even more terrifying.

At this very moment, several thousand figures of all shapes and sizes—tall and short, slender and stout—stood assembled there, each one exuding a terrifying Demon Qi.

Floating in the air above them was a humanoid figure with horns like a great serpent, scales covering his body like armor, and crimson eyes. A tyrannical Demon Monster Dao Rhythm revolved around him, and he radiated such a terrifying power that the entire Dark Forest seemed to tremble.

"Everyone, the Human Race of this realm is weak. They will undoubtedly be devoured by our people."

"But before that, the higher-ups have given an order! You are to follow me, and we will completely crush Wanyou Mountain and invade the Human Race’s territory!" the terrifying, floating demon figure with serpentine horns and scale-like armor declared in a deep voice.

"Lord Evil Moon, do we need to formulate an invasion plan?"

From among the thousands of Demon Fiends below, one with a powerful, bull-like build and immense Demonic Power suddenly spoke up.

"A plan?"

When Evil Moon heard this, he couldn’t help but laugh. A cold glint flashed in his crimson eyes as the vast Demonic Power within him roiled, sending a terrifying wave of pressure crashing into the gloomy forest. Then, he spoke in a low, grave voice.

"With me here, what plan do we need?"

"Wherever we pass, we will leave nothing standing!"
