Chapter 408 - 213: Demon Fiend, I Want You to Aid My Cultivation

Mountains crisscrossed the land, and waves raged like a furious sea. The dust from shattered boulders spiraled toward the heavens like the war beacon of an enraged dragon, sweeping across the world.

A colossal beast covered in silver fur bore a ghastly, bone-deep sword wound on its demonic body.

Lingering Sword Intent clung to the wound, writhing and slicing relentlessly. Blood flowed, dyeing its silver fur crimson. On its chest, a gnarled, sparking contusion left by a Fist Seal pulsed as terrifying Thunder crackled over its entire body. Its bones and tendons were shattered, its injuries catastrophic.

The Celestial Nether Wolf King’s pale silver, vertical pupils gazed thousands of miles away at a white-robed figure suspended in the Void Celestial. The figure emanated a misty glow, wreathed in crackling Thunder. A flicker of dread crossed the King’s eyes.

It immediately surged the immense Demonic Power within, blanketing its entire form in a snow-white, silvery light. Its wounds began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, once its wounds had healed to a certain extent, the recovery speed plummeted.

The Celestial Nether Wolf King focused its senses. Its brow furrowed as it seemed to realize something, and it couldn’t help but cry out in shock.

"Heaven and Earth Divine Thunder, Dao Domain Power."

It followed with a furious curse:

"Damn it! Damn it all!"

As its pale silver, vertical pupils looked out once more, a look of unprecedented dread flashed in its eyes.

’The opponent actually possesses that kind of Spiritual Object nurtured by heaven and earth, and has even grasped Dao Domain Power, something only those in the Unity Realm should be able to comprehend. This means his path to Harmonization is already halfway complete! Add to that his Divine Thunder Power... if he successfully breaks through to Harmonization, the Human Race of this world will gain another titan!’

"Wrath of the Celestial Wolf!!"

At this thought, without the slightest hesitation, the Celestial Nether Wolf King endured the excruciating pain of its injuries. The supremely pure Demonic Power within its body—imbued with the essence of a Demon Fiend and an endless, terrifying might that made the Void Celestial tremble—erupted in an instant.

A cold light glinted in the Celestial Nether Wolf King’s vertical pupils. It raised its wolfish head, opened its cavernous maw, and gathered its immense Demonic Power. A rapidly spinning, incredibly dense, dark-red sphere materialized, hovering before its jaws. The sphere’s crimson glow, like an orbiting planet, emanated an ancient and boundless might.

WHOOSH!

In the next instant, the dark-red sphere, like an orbiting planet, tore straight through one mountain peak after another. Wielding boundless might, it crushed the layers of space as it instantly traversed thousands of miles, hurtling toward the white-robed young man.

Gu Yun stood suspended in the void, his posture as straight as a pine. His robes whipped about him, and his hair danced wildly in the wind. His deep eyes watched the demonic sphere as it shattered the void, blotted out the sky, and fell like a plummeting planet. A flicker of disappointment crossed his face as he spoke in a low voice:

"Is this the limit of a Demon King?"

"I am truly disappointed."

Then, an intense killing intent flashed in his eyes. He stared straight ahead and spoke, his voice chilling.

"Very well, you wretched beast!

I will use you to advance my cultivation!!"

As his voice fell, an extreme Sword Intent erupted from within Gu Yun’s body. He suddenly stepped forward, his figure moving like lightning, and swung his long blade.

A beam of Sword Qi, like a river of stars, soared into the sky. It expanded constantly, stretching for thousands of miles until it spanned heaven and earth. With unstoppable Momentum, it slashed toward the incoming, planet-like, dark-red sphere.

At the same time, just as Gu Yun erupted with formidable power and slashed out with his Heaven-Reaching Blade Qi, thousands of miles away, the Celestial Nether Wolf King climbed out of the dust. Its four powerful, silver-furred wolf legs stood firm and majestic. Its demonic body was magnificent as it raised its head, a savage look on its face as its pale-silver vertical pupils stared straight ahead.

"I will remember this!"

"One day, across the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands,

I will hunt you down and kill you."

As its voice fell, it wheeled around. The great beast’s demonic body trembled. With a powerful shove from its four limbs, it shattered the earth for hundreds of miles around and shot into the sky.

"Celestial Wolf Divine Movement Technique!"

The Celestial Nether Wolf King executed the Demon Technique. Its body transformed into a massive silver lightning bolt, tearing through the sky and streaking toward the horizon at an incredible speed. It crossed eight thousand miles in an instant, moving with unbelievable haste.

At this moment, its face was a mask of sheer terror.

An involuntary flicker of fear crossed its eyes.

’He actually wants to use me to advance his cultivation! I am a Demon Fiend! A Demon King among demons! This turns the natural order on its head! If I stay here and fight such a terrifying person, I fear for my life. I have over a thousand years left to live. How can I let myself die here? If I die, what does it matter to me if the Demon Lord successfully invades the Celestial Essence? I’ll leave a terrifying opponent like him to those arrogant bastards in the clan. I’m getting out of here.’

As these thoughts flashed through its mind, the Celestial Nether Wolf King’s speed increased yet again as it streaked across the Void Celestial.

From a distance, one could see only a silver streak, like a meteor, rocketing across the sky above the clouds—a colossal beast traversing the world.

SHIIING!!

On the other side,

Gu Yun’s radiant, incredibly sharp Sword Qi, which stretched for thousands of miles like a river of stars, sliced the dark-red sphere in two with unstoppable Momentum. The sphere, which had crushed a thousand miles of void and contained the purest Demon Qi, had seemed to hold the power to end the world.

The attack continued into the void beyond, tearing a massive, thousand-mile-long fissure in the firmament. A terrifying, dark abyss was revealed, from which the Chaotic Gang Wind surged forth like a savage beast, exuding a chilling aura.

"Hm?"

"He... he ran?!"

Gu Yun’s eyes narrowed, a look of astonishment on his face. His gaze pierced through heaven and earth to the far distance, where the Demon King had already fled tens of thousands of miles. Its speed was so incredible it left him speechless.

"King, how could you run?"

"I much preferred you when you were arrogant and defiant..." Gu Yun murmured. Suspended in the Void Celestial, a corner of his robe fluttered without a breeze as he gazed into the empty void before him.
