Chapter 174: Heavenly Demon

Seeing this, Mu Jianxue was about to make a move to eliminate this Heavenly Demon.

“Wait!”

“I informed the people from the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect; they should be on their way!” Jiang Chen stopped Mu Jianxue, not wanting her to intervene.

The main reason was for the subsequent rewards. If he didn’t intervene this time, the rewards for his efforts later would surely be substantial. Moreover, once the Heavenly Demon enters the cave, he could also collect a share of the reward.

That huge piece of Immortal Purple Gold must not be missed. It’s the best material for refining Emperor Weapons and the most necessary one. If that piece of Immortal Purple Gold were exposed to the outside world, countless forces would go mad over it.

The Immortal Purple Gold is so large that it’s enough to forge the prototype of a complete Emperor Weapon, to be shaped in any way desired.

With a loud bang, the entire mountain exploded, countless stones shooting out in all directions like a meteor shower.

The Heavenly Demon burst out, its massive figure standing tall in the sky, its blood-red eyes filled with bloodlust as it gazed at the city below, brimming with killing intent.

Roar.

The Heavenly Demon opened its mouth wide, as if to swallow the city below whole. The immense devouring force spread, causing panic among the beings in the city below.

“What’s happening!”

“What is that monster!”

“Is that aHeavenly Demon? But why is it here?”

The beings below were completely stunned. The Heavenly Demon was enormous, like a mythical demon, with immense power that they couldn’t resist. Besides, these cultivators were generally of low realms, akin to ants before a Great Saint.

“How dare you, foul demon!” Suddenly, an angry shout echoed.

The void completely shattered, brilliant golden light pouring down like rain, illuminating the entire sky. It was like a ray of hope in the darkness, giving the cultivators below a glimmer of hope.

A young man in a white monk robe walked out with an angry expression. He pushed forward with a giant hand, covering the sky and striking down like a meteor, causing the sky to rumble.

With a loud bang, it was as if the palm of the Buddha struck the Heavenly Demon to the ground.

The Great Saint Kongchen of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect.

“Bald donkey!” The Heavenly Demon jumped up immediately. Upon seeing Kongchen, its anger surged, the flames of rage rising endlessly.

It hated bald donkeys the most. If not for them, it wouldn’t have been sealed for so long. To it, every bald donkey it saw, it would kill.

“Die!” The Heavenly Demon roared, its figure like a giant mountain charging towards Kongchen.

Its huge body was terrifying, and compared to it, Kongchen looked like a mere mosquito. It was like a person trying to resist a speeding volcano, with enough force to destroy everything.

“Today, just as my Buddhist predecessors could seal you, I will completely slay you!”

“Indestructible Vajra Body!”

Kongchen’s eyes widened in anger, and his entire body instantly turned golden, the dazzling gold like it was cast from pure gold, exuding terrifying pressure.

This was the most powerful physical cultivation technique of Buddhism. It’s said that when cultivated to the extreme, it grants an immortal and indestructible body, comparable to the Great Physique. Only the Buddha had reached this realm.

“Palm of the Buddha!”

A giant golden palm crossed the sky, exuding supreme aura, like the Buddha himself, stepping on the heavens and overlooking the nine heavens and ten earths. The mighty pressure surged like waves, one after another.

Under this aura, the beings in the city below trembled uncontrollably. It was as if they were seeing a god, an innate sense of awe for the strong. All beings are like this.

Boom.

The two collided, and unexpectedly, the Heavenly Demon was directly blown away. Despite its advantage in size, it was forcibly knocked back by Kongchen.

The aftermath of their clash was unimaginable. The ground completely cracked, spiderweb-like fissures spreading across the land.

The city below was spared thanks to Kongchen’s protection, but the strong shockwaves still affected the ground, causing it to tremble continuously like an earthquake, making the cultivators very uneasy.

“A battle between strong ones, and we ants have to stay out of it!”

“Without the protection of this Buddhist master, the shockwaves alone would have destroyed the entire city, turning us to dust!”

“This is the Great Saint Kongchen of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect, rumored to have been in seclusion for many years. I didn’t expect to see him today!”

“Seems like our luck is pretty good?”

“Lucky? If we were lucky, we wouldn’t be facing this Heavenly Demon!”

“Doesn’t that mean the Heavenly Demon is also a Great Saint?”

“Being able to withstand two strikes from a Great Saint without dying, what else could it be!”

“But why is the Heavenly Demon here? Wasn’t it sealed long ago?”

“No idea. I just hope Great Saint Kongchen can end this quickly!”

Feeling the surrounding turmoil and the shattered void ahead, the beings in the city were extremely fearful, trembling all over, afraid that the formation wouldn’t hold and the shockwaves would obliterate them.

They had no doubt about the strength of these waves. Without the formation’s protection, they might have already been killed.

“Just broke free from the seal and can still withstand my attack without a scratch. This Heavenly Demon is strange!” Kongchen frowned, looking at the rising Heavenly Demon.

This Heavenly Demon was too strange; such an attack didn’t harm it!

“Is that all you’ve got? You are far inferior to the bald donkeys of the past!” The Heavenly Demon got up and went berserk.

Despite suffering twice, it still charged at Kongchen, seemingly convinced that Kongchen posed no threat, making it reckless.

“Die!” The Heavenly Demon roared, a black divine light falling like an inverted galaxy, condensing into a supreme attack, like an endless river, each strand of its aura extremely terrifying, capable of crushing the void.

Feeling this overwhelming aura, everyone was shocked. The suffocating pressure spread out, as if death was imminent.

“Coiling Dragon Fist!” Kongchen’s eyes flickered, his golden fist swinging like a falling star, exuding powerful energy, tearing through space with a piercing roar, shattering the surrounding void.

A true dragon roared out, transforming into a phantom, converging into his fist.

When they collided, Kongchen’s fist directly pierced the Heavenly Demon’s arm. In an instant, the Heavenly Demon’s arm exploded, half of its body disintegrating, blood falling like a river, forming a sea of blood in the desolate desert below.

Boom.

The Heavenly Demon roared continuously, attacking Kongchen incessantly. However, their strengths were almost equal, making it difficult for either to overpower the other. This led to a stalemate, with neither side able to gain the upper hand temporarily.

Due to the intense battle, the surrounding land kept shattering, and the battlefield kept shifting. Soon, the two of them disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Seeing them disappear, the many cultivators in the city sighed in relief.

“Good thing they left! If they had stayed longer, we’d likely have perished here!”

“It seems we can’t stay in this place anymore. If we do, we’re sure to die!”

The scythe of death had almost touched them, making them fearful. As soon as the two left, most people took the opportunity to leave, fearing they would come back and finish them off.

They couldn’t withstand it. Among these cultivators, the strongest were only at the True King Realm.

While the True King Realm might suffice against some cultivators, against top-tier Great Saints, they were nothing, not even worth a glance. Any random wave of energy could kill them.

In the void, Jiang Chen and Mu Jianxue followed closely behind the two. Jiang Chen wanted to know when the Heavenly Demon would enter the cave.

“In the original story, it was mentioned that the two fought for nearly half a month!”

“In the end, Kongchen slightly prevailed, and the Heavenly Demon escaped using its means, also gaining an opportunity!”

“I wonder if the Heavenly Demon will succeed this time as well!”

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen felt a bit excited.
