Chapter 430 - 429: Three Solar Arrows Slay Three Demon Kings, The Boar Charges to His Death

The three-headed Viper moved almost simultaneously. Its body uncoiled from the celestial beast’s remains, and its three mouths opened wide to release a massive volley of corrosive green venom.

The streams spread in different directions, forming a poisonous net intended to dissolve the Golden Immortal Beast and force its riders into the open.

The two wolf demons rushed toward the flanks, while the avian Demon King climbed higher into the void to attack from above. They had hunted weaker opponents together for many years, and their coordinated movements demonstrated considerable experience in surrounding enemies.

Unfortunately for them, the strength they had relied upon against ordinary cultivators meant very little against Lin Yuan and Bai Qingyue.

Lin Yuan stood on the back of his mount, his expression unchanged as he watched the demons charge. He heard their excited cries about Bai Sha’s bounty, but the irony barely produced a flicker of amusement in his deep purple eyes.

He had no intention of wasting time explaining that the person they worshipped was already dead.

"The dead do not need updates on current events," he murmured.

He turned his head slightly toward Bai Qingyue. "Qingyue, the flanks are yours. Leave the central attacker to me."

Bai Qingyue gave a small nod. "Understood. I will make sure none of them interfere with you."

She stepped toward the edge of the Golden Immortal Beast’s broad back and raised the Sun Shooting Bow. The Weapon Spirit responded with an excited shriek, channeling the abundant spiritual Qi of the Barrier Realm into the bowstring.

A brilliant glow gathered between her fingers, and the air around the weapon began to shimmer under the rising heat.

Bai Qingyue did not aim at the charging Boar Demon King. Instead, she drew the string and directed her attention toward the three-headed Viper and the demons approaching from the flanks.

Her movements were smooth and unhurried, as though she were practicing a familiar technique rather than preparing to eliminate several Void Refinement opponents.

THWIP! THWIP! THWIP!

Three solar arrows streaked from the bow in a single, fluid exhalation. Their white-gold radiance cut through the surrounding darkness, leaving three narrow trails of burning light that converged upon the approaching demons.

The arrows carried the Sun Shooting Bow’s destructive authority, but their paths also reflected the subtle guidance of Bai Qingyue’s extraordinary fortune.

The Viper Demon King saw the first arrow approaching and sneered. Its central head opened wide, releasing a massive wall of Void Refinement venom that spread across the space before it.

The poisonous barrier was dense enough to corrode ordinary spiritual artifacts, and the demon believed it could easily consume any projectile that attempted to pass through it.

That belief proved fatal.

The solar arrow did not merely collide with the venom. Its concentrated heat overwhelmed the poisonous energy before the two forces could properly interact, burning through the corrosive barrier in an instant.

The arrow continued forward without losing its momentum and struck the Viper Demon King’s central head directly between the eyes.

A blinding explosion engulfed the serpent.

The searing heat spread through its head and down the enormous length of its body, igniting the venom stored within its scales. The demon attempted to twist away, but the solar energy had already penetrated its defenses and reached the spiritual core sustaining its life.

Before it could release a proper scream, its central head and most of its body were consumed by white fire.

The remains scattered into the void as a twisting column of ash. Its two surviving heads writhed desperately, but the loss of the central head had disrupted the demon’s control over its enormous body.

The remaining flames spread through its scales, and within moments, the entire creature vanished into the surrounding darkness.

The second arrow pursued the wolf demon that had attempted to approach from the left. Realizing that the projectile was moving faster than he could evade, the demon activated a spatial technique and attempted to blink away from its path.

However, the arrow followed the distortion in space, and the moment he reappeared, it was already waiting for him.

The solar projectile pierced his chest and tore through his demonic heart. His body stiffened in midair, and a brief expression of disbelief crossed his face before the radiance consumed him.

His remains drifted away as scattered fragments of dark energy, leaving nothing that could be used to restore his former body.

The third arrow targeted the avian Demon King. He folded his wings and attempted to rise beyond its trajectory, but Bai Qingyue’s fortune had already guided the projectile toward the path he would choose.

The arrow passed close enough to scorch one wing, forcing him into an uncontrolled spiral.

Before he could recover, a second streak of solar light emerged from the bow. Bai Qingyue had released another arrow almost immediately after the first three, and its trajectory intersected the avian demon’s desperate attempt to stabilize himself.

The projectile struck his torso, and the resulting explosion erased his remaining resistance.

Within only a few breaths, three Void Refinement Demon Kings had been eliminated. Bai Qingyue lowered the bow slightly, observing the fading flames without any change in her expression.

She had not needed to expend her full strength, and the Sun Shooting Bow had responded so smoothly that the exchange felt almost effortless.

The surviving wolf demon hesitated, suddenly aware that the situation was nothing like the easy hunt he had imagined. His confidence faltered as he looked at the empty spaces where his companions had been, and he began to retreat toward the floating asteroid.

The prospect of the White Tiger’s blood essence no longer seemed nearly as valuable as it had moments earlier.

But the Boar Demon King was already too close to retreat.

Driven by greed and the momentum of his enormous, iron-quilled body, the beast crashed through the lingering solar heat. His massive fists tightened around the bone club, and his roar echoed across the astral debris as he prepared to smash Lin Yuan into fragments.

"Die for my ascension, human!"
