Chapter 1133: Chapter 746: Slaying the Demon Monarch in Fury

At this moment, the Divine Soul was in searing pain, and the Demon Infant was restless and unstable in the Dantian, showing signs of collapse.

The old demon secretly gritted his teeth, contemplating in his heart.

Since True Master Profound Ice was launching such reckless attacks without regard for consequences, he must also suffer backlash, his Magical Power nearing exhaustion, hardly faring much better than himself.

However, he dared not gamble.

In this battle, there was no hope of victory.

If he continued to confront head-on, once the backlash within overwhelmed him and the Demon Infant collapsed, it would truly be a case of body perishes and Way fades, a thousand years of cultivation wasted like flowing water.

To admit defeat now?

The thought arose only to be extinguished.

This action would not only tarnish his reputation, but also cause the Corpse Refining Sect’s renown to utterly collapse, inviting the other Demon Sects from Liang Country to pounce, tearing him apart.

"Retreat..."

Wan Hai Demon Monarch’s eyes flickered, having made a decision in his heart.

"Temporarily conceal, seek a draw!"

In a flash, he decisively discarded.

The Nine Netherworld Corpse Dragon and [Flying Corpse Needle] abandoned completely.

With a swift wave of his withered hand, countless refined corpses roared and surged forth from the myriad corpses demon flag, like a tide blocking his front.

His own body transformed into an obscure transparent corpse aura, quietly retreating.

Throughout his millennium of cultivation, he always believed, for the sake of life, all things could be discarded.

Since he could not win, why fight to the death!

However, the next instant, something that made his heart palpitate occurred.

A ten-zhang Golden Giant suddenly shrank, light swirling, reverting to Shen Xuan’s original form.

Behind him, the Wind and Thunder Spirit Wings spread out with a loud "whoosh", transforming him into a turquoise lightning, tearing through the sky, instantly intercepting his escape route!

Fast! Too fast!

Wan Hai Demon Monarch’s heart shook violently, filled with terror.

Without thinking, the transparent corpse aura abruptly changed direction to flee to another side.

"Old Demon!"

Shen Xuan’s voice was icy cold, as though he had been waiting for a long time.

"Please appreciate this flower!"

Before the words finished, a Demon Flower suddenly blossomed in the void before Wan Hai Demon Monarch, without any forewarning.

Six petals, colored like crying blood, resembling the last poignant blaze of a setting sun.

The petals slightly curled, seeming to bear the infinite grief and longing of the world, a sorrowful Dao Rhyme permeating the Divine Soul.

The surrounding corpse aura, like moths to a flame, madly surged into this Demon Flower.

The Demon Flower trembled gently, increasingly uncanny and resplendent, shocking to behold.

Wan Hai Demon Monarch’s pupils shrank abruptly, exclaiming in terror: "Hehuan Sect’s [Other Shore Demon Flower]!"

This flower erodes Divine Souls, plunders life force, exchanging life for life.

How could it appear here?

Without waiting for Wan Hai Demon Monarch to understand.

The [Other Shore Demon Flower] quivered gently, disregarding spatial distance, floating silently towards his forehead.

The next moment, it entered the Sea of Consciousness.

"How could it be? Is it truly the [Other Shore Demon Flower]?"

Wan Hai Demon Monarch murmured, his gaze instantly becoming diffused.

Numerous fragmented memories surged forth.

The solitude of a thousand years’ bitter cultivation, countless midnight frustrations, the mad pursuit for that which could not be obtained, the numbness from killing and refining corpses...

All sorts of resentment, hatred, fear, were drastically magnified by the [Other Shore Demon Flower], overwhelming him like a tide.

The Dao Heart, in an instant, was riddled with holes.

A feeling of utter despair, a heart as dead as ashes, gripped his Divine Soul.

No!

In the final instant of sinking, the instinct to survive split the chaos like lightning!

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion erupted.

Wan Hai Demon Monarch unexpectedly self-detonated his Demon Body!

The rampant corpse aura, Demonic Qi, and Evil Qi, mixed with shattered flesh and bone, transformed into a destructive dark storm, wildly sweeping in all directions.

Heaven and earth lost color, the sun and moon were obscured.

...

On the peak of Demon Mountain.

When that blood-red Demon Flower quietly bloomed in the void, the twelve observing Tier Four Great Cultivators simultaneously changed expressions.

"Wan Hai has been defeated."

Bai Yaohua sighed softly, his tone carrying a complex sense of lament.

The two Demon Monarchs, Blood River and Soul Elephant, unconsciously stepped back half a pace, yet drew closer to each other.

The sense of vigilance was apparent.

Soul Elephant Demon Monarch spoke in a low voice: "Fellow Daoist Bai, that is your sect’s [Other Shore Demon Flower]! How did this person learn it?"

"Although this skill is a secret of our sect, all Demon Lords can practice it; it’s not surprising."

Bai Yaohua spoke indifferently, his gaze never leaving the battlefield.

"But how many are willing to exhaust their efforts on this skill, let alone display it in a life-and-death fight!"

Staring at that blood-red Demon Flower which carries endless grief, the surprise in his eyes grew stronger.

"This person has cultivated this skill to Great Success. With the appearance of this flower, Wan Hai’s lifespan is not much, the Demon Infant is unstable, defeat is certain."

Soul Elephant Demon Monarch shouted angrily: "Absurd! A mere Golden Core, how dare he! Does he dare to compete his lifespan with this skill?"

A Golden Core lives five hundred years, a Nascent Soul lives a thousand.

Using the [Other Shore Demon Flower] consumes lifespan power, several times more than the opponent.

Wan Hai the old demon has over a hundred years lifespan remaining.

The lifespan gained from Body Refining divine power is limited.

How can True Master Profound Ice dare to squander his lifespan like this?

This is simply reckless!

In the eyes of these Nascent Soul Demon Monarchs, this is near madness, beyond comprehension.

"He is not an ordinary Golden Core."

Bai Yaohua’s gaze shifted slightly, pointing out the cause: "Tai Chi Golden Core, Yin and Yang revolve, life force is long-lasting. His lifespan far exceeds that of ordinary Golden Cores."

No sooner had the words dropped when the battlefield underwent sudden change!

Wan Hai Demon Monarch’s body trembled violently, the last trace of blood color on his face completely faded.

That blood-red Demon Flower, embedded in his forehead, opened to the extreme.

"Ah!"

A scream, mixed with despair and unwillingness, tore through the sky.

The next instant, the dark Demon Body exploded!

The rampant corpse aura, Demon Essence carrying shredded flesh fragments, transformed into a storm of destruction sweeping across the four fields.

And at the center of that storm, a three-inch black Nascent Soul fled desperately towards the heavens without looking back!

...

"Fellow Daoist Profound Ice has won!"

True Monarch Liuyun clapped his hands and laughed, joyful on his face.

Wan Hai Demon Monarch exploded his Demon Body, and with his Nascent Soul fleeing in despair, he was at a dead end, with no possibility of reversal.
