Chapter 343 - 283: Nine Demons Sealing God, Annihilating Jiang Yuyan

"Nine Demons God-Sealing Needle? Quick, run—"

The surrounding Demon Dao cultivators saw Jiang Yuyan unleash a Celestial Demon secret technique, and instantly scattered in terror.

Because after using such secret arts, while your cultivation gets a temporary boost,

the drawbacks are immense—not only does it burn your lifespan, it also makes you lose your sanity, bloodthirsty to the extreme.

None of them wanted to end up butchered by Jiang Yuyan’s hand.

"Where are you running?"

Lin Chang’sheng saw the demon cultivators fleeing and slammed his palm down. An overwhelming Golden Radiance Palm Seal descended, utterly crushing every demon there.

These demon cultivators were just at the Early Stage of Nascent Soul or Golden Core Cultivation. How could they possibly survive a single blow from Lin Chang’sheng?

By the time Lin Chang’sheng turned his attention back, Jiang Yuyan’s Nine Demons Sealing God secret art had peaked—she’d pushed her power up to the Peak of Nascent Soul Great Cultivator.

In the next instant, Jiang Yuyan drew out a silver needle the size of a fingertip and stabbed it straight down through the crown of her head.

Boom—

A massive surge of magical power exploded from within Jiang Yuyan, kicking up clouds of dust and sand in every direction.

"She broke through to the Divinity Transformation Stage?"

Even Lin Chang’sheng was surprised. Demon Dao really did have endless ways of self-mutilation for power boosts.

The Celestial Ghost Sect had the Celestial Ghost Devouring God Technique, the Corpse King Sect had the Soul Reincarnation Technique, and the Celestial Demon Sect had the Ten Demons God-Sealing Needle.

"Well, let’s see how strong someone at Divinity Transformation really is."

Lin Chang’sheng thought silently. Even though his physique was already at the Divinity Transformation level, his magical power hadn’t reached that realm yet.

A Divinity Transformation body was ten times stronger than Late-Stage Nascent Soul, so the magical power must be ten times as fierce too.

That posed a serious challenge for Lin Chang’sheng.

"Lin Chang’sheng, come and die!"

After igniting her secret technique, Jiang Yuyan didn’t go mad right away—at least she could still tell Lin Chang’sheng apart.

He figured the more magical power and lifespan she burned, the closer she’d get to total insanity.

As soon as Jiang Yuyan finished speaking, she struck out with a palm aimed straight at Lin Chang’sheng.

Divinity Transformation magical power erupted with terrifying momentum, making the whole space tremble and warp.

A massive black palm imprint crashed down on Lin Chang’sheng like a piece of the heavens themselves.

"Break!"

Faced with the oncoming black palm, Lin Chang’sheng swung his Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure in a slicing arc.

Blade auras layered and surged one after another, like an ocean in flood—endless and unstoppable.

Rumble—

In the blink of an eye, the mighty black light palm collided violently with thousands of blade auras, thunderous explosions echoing nonstop.

Lin Chang’sheng had thought that with the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure, he could at least go toe-to-toe with a Divinity Transformation opponent.

Yet, the instant the two attacks collided, the countless blade auras were instantly overwhelmed, smashed apart by the palm print’s unstoppable force.

Shards of blade aura shot in all directions, tearing apart chunks of stone and swathes of trees on the ground.

Thankfully, each wave of blade aura was stronger than the last, steadily wearing down the palm seal’s might.

By the time the final blade aura clashed with the palm, seven layers of the palm’s power had already been depleted.

But even the remaining three layers of force were not to be underestimated. Lin Chang’sheng raised his left hand and unleashed a Golden Radiance Palm Seal.

Boom—

The Golden Radiance Palm Seal was magnificent, but upon meeting the black palm, it was instantly shattered.

"So this is Divinity Transformation Stage power?"

Lin Chang’sheng felt drained—the gulf between Late Stage Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation was bigger than he had imagined.

Luckily, Lin Chang’sheng had a Divinity Transformation-level body; so, when the last residual force of the black palm struck him, it only knocked him back more than ten feet before he stabilized, unharmed.

Knowing he was outmatched, Lin Chang’sheng stopped confronting Jiang Yuyan head-on, switching to the Myriad Thunder God-Burning Arrow Technique for a war of attrition.

Once Jiang Yuyan’s secret art faded, he could slay her with ease.

"Looks like before entering Burial Immortal Realm, I’ll have to break through to Divinity Transformation—or I’ll die for sure in there!"

Lin Chang’sheng thought to himself.

The gap between Late-Stage Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation was massive. If he tried to cross into the Immortal Realm with just Nascent Soul power, he’d be dead for sure.

But with Divinity Transformation, there’d at least be a shot at surviving.

Of course, before leaving, he had to snatch Sea God Tower first.

That way, with two Supreme Treasures in hand, he might just be able to save his life in a crisis.

Boom, boom, boom—

Jiang Yuyan blocked each powerful Celestial Thunder Arrow—she wasn’t even scratched by the power of Celestial Thunder.

"Die! Die! Every last one of you—"

Jiang Yuyan unleashed a mad flurry of attacks at Lin Chang’sheng, but he kept dodging using body techniques, making it nearly impossible for her to land a hit.

After all, Lin Chang’sheng’s divine sense and body were both at Divinity Transformation level—Jiang Yuyan only had the edge in magical power.

Too bad for her, Lin Chang’sheng’s Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure closed the gap a bit more.

So, even though Jiang Yuyan had broken through to Divinity Transformation, dealing with Lin Chang’sheng wasn’t going to be simple.

As time went on, Jiang Yuyan started to lose her sanity—her eyes burning red, as if she wanted to wipe out all living things nearby.

The more crazed she became, the closer her secret art was to ending.

Rumble—

Jiang Yuyan annihilated all life within a hundred-li radius.

Trees fell, rocks flew.

If Lin Chang’sheng hadn’t been shielding Zhao Cheng, the latter would have died at Jiang Yuyan’s hands already.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn—

Jiang Yuyan’s secret art ran out, and magical power began hemorrhaging from her. Her realm fell right from a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator to Middle Stage Nascent Soul.

Her face withered from that of a woman in her thirties to a shriveled old crone; her hair snow-white, her skin a maze of wrinkles.

Seeing his moment, Lin Chang’sheng drew his bow and set nine arrows at once.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

Nine bolts of thunder-arrow shot in from all angles at Jiang Yuyan.

She saw the attack coming and wanted to resist, but her body was utterly drained.

So all she could do was stare as the thunderbolts struck home.

Boom, boom, boom—

After the thunderous crash, Jiang Yuyan’s body was left charred black by the Celestial Thunder Arrows, blood seeping out from multiple wounds.

Watching Jiang Yuyan writhe in agony, Lin Chang’sheng flashed forward and drove his blade through her heart, finishing her off.

If she’d managed to recover even a bit of her magical power and used the Blood Demon Disintegration Technique, she’d have been much harder to kill.

Buzz—

In the next instant, a golden radiance shot from the center of Jiang Yuyan’s brows and was instantly absorbed into Lin Chang’sheng’s Myriad Soul Banner.

"Only Ding Changhai left—once he’s taken, all five sect masters will finally be gathered!"

Within Lin Chang’sheng’s Myriad Soul Banner, the Nascent Souls of all four Demon Evil Sea sect leaders were now collected.

From the earliest Jiu Wushang and Nie Buping, to Fu Junyue and Jiang Yuyan just now.

Only Ding Changhai remained—one more and he’d have the full set.

What Lin Chang’sheng didn’t know was that Ding Changhai had already perished in some bizarre abyss.

"Sect Leader Jiang, you—you’ve been slain by that monster too?"

Nie Buping saw Jiang Yuyan and Fu Junyue’s Nascent Souls enter the Myriad Soul Banner and was utterly shocked.

Was Demon Evil Sea about to be wiped out by Lin Chang’sheng in one sweep?
