Chapter 405: Chapter 222: 3 Yuan All Emerge to Subdue the Demon Son

The Celestial River hung inverted, vast and mighty.

The Water Divine Light poured down, blanketing heaven and earth. It was like a deluge washing away filth, swallowing innumerable Demon Clouds wherever it passed. The Celestial Demon Child had no choice but to retreat, and in a moment, he was driven back across half the sky.

Looking into the divine light revealed it was still as clear as water, its glow faint, as if it hadn’t been polluted in the slightest by the Demonic Qi.

The Celestial Demon Child’s heart sank. Xuzhuang’s newly revealed Divine Technique was formidable, but what truly unsettled him was that this far into the battle, Xuzhuang would suddenly unleash a Daoist art of such immense scale and awe-inspiring might—and do so without any regard for the cost, all to suppress the Demon Cloud he had expended so much of his own vital energy to create...

Before the Celestial Demon Child could think it through, Han Fashou was already charging back in. Unable to grasp the profundity of Xuzhuang’s Water Divine Light, he decided to attack Xuzhuang directly, hoping to relieve the pressure on the Celestial Demon Child.

Unexpectedly, Xuzhuang glanced back. A plume of roiling Smoke Mist burst from his Gangyun, and the Innate Tai Su Qi Grand Capture transformed as it flew, swelling to thousands of feet in an instant. It reached for the fiercely charging Han Fashou and brutally seized the Bone Demon God in its palm!

The Bone Demon God let out a long roar, struggling with all its might to break free. Yet the Innate Tai Su Qi Grand Capture remained as steady as a mountain. It actually increased its pressure, as if trying to crush the Bone Demon God into dust.

This was the first time in their battle that Xuzhuang had expended such an immense amount of Magical Power to unleash the Innate Tai Su Qi Grand Capture. Its might was on a completely different level than before, like the difference between the heavens and the earth.

Han Fashou’s expression shifted. He formed a Magic Formula, and the Bone Demon God’s mountain-like form began to swell once more, trying to pry open the Innate Tai Su Qi Grand Capture. Who would have thought the Innate Tai Su Qi Grand Capture would simply grow along with it?

One was a ferocious, soul-shaking Demon God. The other was a great palm of energy with textures so fine they were clearly visible. Both were already behemoths, yet they simultaneously swelled to ten thousand zhang in size and showed no signs of stopping, as if they intended to blot out the sky and hold up the heavens.

A Divine Technique like this, reminiscent of the Heaven and Earth transformation, was beyond what any ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator could even imagine—and still, he couldn’t break free! For the first time, Han Fashou felt the situation spiraling out of his control. He frantically circulated his profound arts, and the Bone Demon God began to change repeatedly. One moment it would shrink to human size, the next it would swell into a mountain. It could change its size at will, yet it remained pinned, completely immobilized by the Innate Tai Su Qi Grand Capture.

Moreover, as he felt the crushing force of the Innate Tai Su Qi Grand Capture relentlessly intensifying, Han Fashou’s expression turned as cold as frost.

The Bone Demon God possessed the Vajra Indestructible Skill and was reputed to be indestructible! But under the crushing force of the Innate Tai Su Qi Grand Capture, he had no idea when it would finally reach its limit...

And just as the Bone Demon God was completely immobilized by the Innate Tai Su Qi Grand Capture, the thirty-six Great Sun Fire Dragons closed in. Curiously, the Taiyi Rainbow Sword did not press the attack; instead, it had been recalled to Xuzhuang’s side.

’Is it because even he can’t sustain several Great Divine Techniques at once?’

The thought had only just crossed Han Fashou’s mind before he suppressed it. He refused to believe Xuzhuang’s sudden eruption of power was merely a desperate struggle. There was no time to overthink; the priority was to neutralize Xuzhuang’s assault.

Han Fashou’s gaze narrowed. He suddenly abandoned the Bone Demon God and, ignoring the thirty-six Great Sun Fire Dragons that were closing in to kill him, transformed into a streak of ghastly white light that shot straight for Xuzhuang.

Of course, he hadn’t lost his mind. A beam of dark light suddenly shot out from the side—the Celestial Demon Child had, at some unknown point, abandoned the Demon Cloud he spent so much Magical Power to create. He had allowed Xuzhuang’s Water Divine Light to wipe it clean, freeing himself to appear at Han Fashou’s side.

The two had a tacit understanding. As the Celestial Demon Child cast a technique to block several Great Sun Fire Dragons for him, Han Fashou found an opening and escaped the encirclement. He flung out his hand, and a gust of putrid white wind blew from his sleeve, sweeping toward Xuzhuang.

This Divine Technique of Han Fashou’s could perform its namesake Bone-Eroding Soul-Devouring effect and even corrode Magical Artifacts. It was anything but ordinary. But he knew it wouldn’t be enough to stop Xuzhuang, so he had already prepared several follow-up variations, waiting only for Xuzhuang to make his move.

He never imagined Xuzhuang would just stand there. An Immortal Robe suddenly draped over his body. When Han Fashou’s Divine Technique blew past, it was like a gentle breeze on his face. It didn’t even make Xuzhuang’s expression change. He simply lifted a hand and pointed, and dozens of lightning bolts came crashing down from the sky.

Han Fashou’s brow twitched. He didn’t want to meet Xuzhuang’s lightning technique head-on, but he wasn’t afraid of it. The real problem was that the defensive capabilities of Xuzhuang’s Immortal Robe had repeatedly exceeded his expectations. Without the Bone Demon God, he knew it would be no easy feat to shatter the Myriad Phenomena Immortal Robe.

’Unless...’ A Sen Bai Bone Talisman appeared in the hand Han Fashou had hidden in his sleeve. It danced between his fingertips a few times, but he ultimately hesitated. Seeing the lightning about to descend, Han Fashou suddenly flicked his wide sleeve and vanished without a trace.

In his place, only a single White Bone Sword remained. Struck by Xuzhuang’s lightning, it was instantly pulverized.

It turned out that the Bone Demon God, being Dao Soldiers manifested from vital energy, also possessed the ability to substitute an object for one’s body. While the White Bone Sword took the lightning strike for Han Fashou, he had already retreated to the Celestial Demon Child’s side.

The moment Han Fashou appeared, the Celestial Demon Child met him and urged in a grim tone, "Leave!"

Han Fashou glanced at the Celestial Demon Child, knowing the man had completely lost his will to fight.

Even when they joined forces, they were still no match for Xuzhuang. Now that the Celestial Demon Child wanted to retreat, the thought of defeating Xuzhuang seemed like a joke. Han Fashou, however, remained calm and said, "Not so fast."

"Oh?" The Celestial Demon Child’s brow furrowed. Suddenly, he heard Xuzhuang’s voice. He looked up to see the thirty-six Great Sun Fire Dragons halting their attack and slowly parting to form a path. Xuzhuang, his white robes fluttering, flew forward and said lightly, "My, you’re full of confidence."

As soon as Xuzhuang spoke, Han Fashou heard a sickening creak come from the Bone Demon God, still clutched in the Innate Tai Su Qi Great Capturing Palm. It sounded as if the demon had truly reached its limit. Han Fashou, however, took on a profound, inscrutable expression and asked:
