Chapter 629 - 360: Between Illusion and Reality, a Great Cultivation Technique

Destruction Divine Light!

"So you *are* from the Divine Domain! Everyone, watch out for his Destruction Divine Light!"

The expression on the owner of the flying needles changed dramatically. The Destruction Divine Light had corrupted his magical artifact’s spiritual intelligence. Not only was the artifact itself damaged, but the spirit dwelling within it was also grievously injured.

"Well now. We came here looking for the Ancient Star, but ended up flushing out a remnant of the Divine Domain!"

"Perfect. We’ll just finish him off while we’re at it."

Enraged, one of the mighty figures brandished a great halberd. He transformed into a colossal giant and brought the massive weapon crashing down.

A tremendous blade-light shot across the cosmos, cleaving the space ahead in two. This was not a split in the traditional, physical sense—it tore spacetime itself asunder.

The two resulting voids now existed on separate planes, their respective flows of time and space completely detached.

Such terrifying power had clearly surpassed the scope of ordinary Immortal arts.

"The Great Desolation Imprisoning Sky Halberd!"

Looks of delighted surprise appeared on the faces of the onlookers. It was an Ultimate Skill for achieving sainthood through the physical body—one that had been lost for ages.

If one mastered the Cultivation of this Ultimate Skill, their physical body would become indestructible, impervious to any material attack.

Furthermore, it granted limitless strength. This wasn’t ordinary physical power, but the very essence of force itself.

To put it in simple terms, it was like the difference between the force of universal gravitation and the force of a person pushing something.

A push is merely the result of muscle exertion, whereas gravity is a fundamental force that naturally exists between all objects.

It has existed since time immemorial, eternal and unchanging.

’What a fine halberd technique!’

Zhao Rui’s eyes narrowed. Of course he could see how extraordinary this halberd technique was.

He immediately drew his Tribulation-Breaking Sword, transformed into a colossal giant himself, and began to exchange blows with his opponent.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

The immense shockwaves from their clashes shattered the space around them, pulverizing all matter within tens of thousands of kilometers into fine dust.

HMMMMMM!

After they had exchanged several dozen blows, the Tribulation-Breaking Sword suddenly let out a sorrowful hum. It was clear that without the blessing of a Secret Technique, relying on raw physical power alone, the sword was outmatched.

Seeing this, Zhao Rui felt a pang of distress and recalled his Tribulation-Breaking Sword.

At the same time, his figure flickered as he unleashed the evolved Charm Immortal Technique. In the same instant, the Charming Maiden Formless Celestial Demon Great Method also began to unfold.

Innumerable bewitching whispers of the Celestial Demons, like maggots clinging to bone, swarmed the mighty figure’s body. They poured in from every conceivable direction—from the nine heavens and ten earths, from the macroscopic to the microscopic, from every dimension of spacetime, and out of every infinite corner of existence.

"Ah! This is a Celestial Demon’s bewitchment?"

"How is this possible? You’re from the Divine Domain, so how can you use a Celestial Demon Technique? No... you *are* a Celestial Demon in disguise!"

The hearts of the mighty figures trembled. As cultivators, they feared neither overwhelming physical strength nor bizarre Daoist Techniques. They weren’t even afraid of those who could summon gods or entreat monsters.

What they truly feared were the Celestial Demons and Heart Demons that lurked somewhere in the void beyond the heavens.

Once either of those two appeared, no one was safe. Immortals, Gods, Demons, and Monsters—all were within their reach.

Their attacks are not meant for destruction.

They are for rebirth!

After a Celestial Demon or Heart Demon seizes a body, you are still you, and yet... you are not.

Once you cross that threshold of destruction, you are reborn into the world with a new personality and as a new form of life.

This is what makes Celestial Demons so terrifying.

They are formless and traceless, unrooted and unanchored. They bring with them both destruction and rebirth, and they ignore all the Skillful Methods of the heavens.

This is especially true of the Heart Demon. No matter how powerful your wards or how profound your Cultivation, the moment a flaw appears in your heart is the moment a Heart Demon is born.

The mighty figure roared in fury, his long halberd a blur in his hands. He unleashed the Martial Movement of the Great Desolation Imprisoning Sky Halberd, a continuous, unending assault. Where its afterimages passed, they solidified into reality.

Everywhere they appeared, the afterimages of the weapon would transform into real long halberds, each one lasting for several breaths in the void of space.

It was a true case of turning the illusory into the real—they were neither false nor empty.

The Celestial Demons scrambled to avoid the paths of these long halberds. After all, even they could have their true forms injured by an attack that straddled the line between illusion and reality.

This mighty figure’s power was truly extraordinary.

Even Zhao Rui couldn’t help but feel a grudging admiration for his opponent.
