Chapter 1266 - 21: Crushing Step

Runes intertwined, forming a clear scene.

This method originates from the Eternal Sect at the center of the world, a unique application of the Rune Dao, even the mighty source demon can’t perceive it.

The Qingyun Saint Sect has used this rune projection method to anticipate the course of ’demons’ and make corresponding decisions, thus repelling the great demon attacks on the mountain time and again.

At this moment, more and more elders of the Holy Sect noticed something unusual, their eyes fixed on the scene formed by the intertwining runes.

The main subject of the scene is still that terrifying giant demon, its size spans trillions of miles, with black wings on its back, covered in giant mouths, devouring vast amounts of demonic qi at every moment.

Though the giant demon is terrifying, what’s more unbelievable to the elders and the Sect Master is that now in the sky above the giant demon’s path, a ’tiny’ figure has appeared at some unknown time.

Compared to the towering giant demon, this figure doesn’t even count as small, it’s less than dust.

If not for the giant demon suddenly stopping mid-stride, perhaps the Holy Sect elders wouldn’t have noticed that figure.

"What is that?"

The Sect Master’s thoughts flickered, the rune-woven scene rapidly expanded, and the tiny figure compared to the giant demon also grew larger.

"Chen Tong?"

The Sect Master of Qingyun Saint Sect was a bit stunned, as the rune scene enlarged, the tiny figure became clear, showing a young man with hands behind his back, wearing the ’uniform’ vestment robe typically worn by the Qingyun Saint Sect’s deacons.

The Sect Master had a deep impression of Chen Tong, a thousand years ago, it was thanks to Chen Tong that the Holy Sect’s head disciple, who had fallen into demonic ways, was discovered.

Later, Chen Tong wanted to go to Qingyun Institute and act as a deacon, which the Sect Master agreed to, after which no special news about this disciple was heard.

The Sect Master didn’t pay attention to this disciple, as the matter with the head disciple falling into demonic ways affected him too, combined with the need for stability in the sect’s situation.

Yet the Sect Master never expected to see this disciple again at such a moment.

"It’s Chen Tong? A deacon of Qingyun Institute."

The elders of the Holy Sect also immediately recognized Lin Yuan when the rune scene enlarged.

Over the millennium, although Lin Yuan hadn’t shown any particular strength, he had shared many insights on ’demons’, which after repeated practice by many elders, were found to be true.

With this back and forth, many elders came to know Qingyun Institute’s deacon, Chen Tong, for his understanding of ’demons’, sometimes even visiting to inquire about questions regarding ’demons’.

"Chen Tong?"

"Why is Chen Tong there?"

"What’s happening?"

Although each Holy Sect elder was deeply puzzled, they also understood that Chen Tong’s abrupt appearance before the giant demon was truly bizarre.

First of all, how did Chen Tong leave the Holy Sect? The giant demon is incredibly far from the sect, not to mention every disciple leaving the sect requires advance application; just traversing such a long distance is extremely incredible.

Moreover, with the terrifying giant demon’s power approaching that of the Abyss Demon, even its unintentional aura would suffice to suffocate someone as strong as the Sect Master, yet Chen Tong remains there, calmly observing from above?

As elders, just nearing it a bit would likely result in severe harm and terminal injuries due to demonic qi corrosion.

The numerous elders looked at each other, their eyes fixed on the scene woven by runes.

Amidst all the elders holding their breath, the terrifying giant demon in the scene clearly grew impatient, the surrounding immeasurable demonic qi hinted at beginning to boil, sweeping toward ’that tiny’ figure above.

"Not good."

The Sect Master’s heart sank, given the terrifying strength of the giant demon, if its sweeping demonic qi took effect, even he would be severely injured, simply not a match.

The other elders’ hearts trembled, instinctively putting themselves in Qingyun Institute’s deacon Chen Tong’s shoes.

However.

In the next moment.

They witnessed an unforgettable scene.

The tiny figure above simply raised his right leg, and lightly stepped down upon the terrifying giant demon.

The once overwhelmingly terrifying giant demon staggered backward a few steps, surrounding infinitely boiling demonic qi halted abruptly.

With another step.

The towering giant demon was directly stomped into the ground, half its body buried.

Yet another step.

The struggling-to-rise giant demon was again stomped deep into the earth.

The last step.

The gargantuan-sized terror of the demon collapsed feebly into a large pit, its magical body weakening, barely holding on.

’That tiny’ figure now withdrew his right leg.

Compared to the terrifying giant demon, this tiny figure now truly seemed to stand tall, the trillion-mile-tall terrifying giant demon became just an ant beneath his feet.

Deathly silence.

The grand hall atop Qingyun Sacred Mountain sank into deathly silence.

The brains of elders, including the Sect Master, went blank.

Many elders, upon seeing Lin Yuan appear above the terrifying giant demon, vaguely realized that this Qingyun Institute deacon was unusual, but never expected it would be so astonishing.

That terrifying giant demon close to the source demon only lasted for four steps under his presence?

It was clear to all, Lin Yuan didn’t use his full strength, didn’t deploy any killing moves, just simply stepped down four times, rendering the terrifying giant demon severely injured and near death?
