Chapter 615 - 269: Defeating the Celestial Demon
(Fellow Daoists, urgently need monthly votes!)
With both arms severed, You Jing could no longer maintain that previously cold expression.
His face, covered with demonic Qi, was now filled with a ferocious look.
"Kill him, kill him for me!!"
As You Jing’s words resounded, the black demonic Qi on his body surged, gradually transforming into a black shadow.
Chu Ning felt something was off and didn’t dare to act rashly, quickly retrieving his flying sword to the front of his body.
At the same time, he swiftly distanced himself from You Jing.
The three Golden Core Late Stage cultivators on the other side were also drawn to You Jing’s shout.
At this moment, they couldn’t help but slow their offensive.
And turned their gaze towards this side.
Upon seeing You Jing’s arms severed, their faces were all filled with astonishment.
Originally, when they saw Chu Ning could withstand the attacks of three people, they vaguely guessed that Chu Ning’s Early Stage of Golden Core realm might be unusual.
However, the fact that Chu Ning could so quickly sever the arms of You Jing, who was clearly not weak and at the Middle Stage of the Golden Core, was beyond their expectations.
So, at this moment, their gazes shifted to Chu Ning.
But soon, everyone’s eyes focused back on You Jing.
It was then they saw the gathering demonic Qi in front of You Jing transform into a black shadow with three arms and severely distorted features.
With the appearance of this black shadow, the expressions of Chu Ning and the other three Golden Core Late Stage cultivators shifted slightly.
They naturally recognized this shadow as the strange entity that had attempted to snatch the Gold Spirit Seed in the heart of the lake.
Tie Shi and the other two simultaneously ceased their attacks, their eyes flashing with a mixture of surprise and doubt.
Yet, before anyone could speak, You Jing had already begun shouting furiously.
"Didn’t you boast about how powerful your demon technique is? How could it be so easily broken by two flying swords?"
You Jing’s loud shout was clearly directed at the demonic shadow.
At this moment, the shadow fixed its demonic eyes on Chu Ning and let out a piercing voice.
"Black Profound Gold, this individual not only possesses Black Profound Gold but has also refined it into a magical treasure.
This Black Profound Gold specifically counters our demon techniques; surely you knew that."
With these words from the shadow, You Jing’s face twitched.
"How was I to know that the black chain was made of Black Profound Gold?"
With that, You Jing’s gaze at Chu Ning turned blood-red.
"My only demand now is to kill him!
Hurry and kill him for me!!"
You Jing, now no longer maintaining his previously cold demeanor, appeared utterly maniacal.
Meanwhile, Chu Ning was lost in thought, his gaze towards the shadow filled with gravity.
"It turns out that Black Profound Gold has a peculiar effect against demon techniques, a fact even Ge Liuyang never mentioned.
This suggests that the reason Black Profound Gold is now so scarce may not simply be because it was widely favored in ancient times.
But because cultivators of the past extensively refined it into their magical treasures specifically for dealing with such threats—
Outer Celestial Demons!!"
From the first glance at this demon in the heart of the lake, Chu Ning had a faint suspicion.
The appearance of this creature bore a strong resemblance to the Celestial Demons depicted in his Thunder Fire Sect murals.
However, at that time, he had only caught a brief glimpse before the Gold Spirit Seed fled and everyone was teleported out.
Chu Ning was not entirely certain then.
But now, observing up close, Chu Ning could finally confirm.
This demon, although not matching the various types of Celestial Demons seen in the Thunder Fire Sect murals, instilled the same feeling in him.
With a solemn gaze fixed upon the demon, Chu Ning spoke slowly:
"You are not just an ordinary Demon Cultivator, but an Outer Celestial Demon not belonging to this Celestial Derivation Realm!"
"Haha!!!" Upon hearing Chu Ning’s words, the demonic shadow let out a burst of raucous laughter.
"How rare, these Golden Core Late Stage cultivators didn’t recognize me, and yet you, an Early Stage Golden Core cultivator, know of the Celestial Demon title.
Haha!!!"
"Outer Celestial Demon!"
Accompanying the laughter of the shadow, Tie Shi’s expression turned from shock to fury.
He seemed to know something about the Outer Celestial Demons.
With a grave look, he addressed a somewhat bewildered Ao Langtian and Elder Zou:
"Fellow Daoists, these Outer Celestial Demons are not of our Celestial Derivation Realm; they are the enemy of all cultivators here.
Let us set aside our grudges and join forces to slay this demon, shall we?"
Ao Langtian and Elder Zou exchanged glances but said nothing.
It seemed they truly knew nothing of the Outer Celestial Demons.
Seeing this, Tie Shi said solemnly:
"The presence of an Outer Celestial Demon on the Western Alliance Continent is a matter of grave importance.
This demon has likely emerged not long ago and is still at the Golden Core Late Stage in cultivation.
But this type of demon can consume a cultivator’s Golden Core and, if allowed to grow, might even devour a cultivator’s Nascent Soul.
By then, even if our several major alliances join forces, defeating it would not be easy.
I suspect that the deaths of so many cultivators entering the Spirit Realm are connected to this demon..."
Before Tie Shi could finish, he had to stop as the Three-armed Monster Demon flickered and vanished in mid-air.
In the next moment, it appeared beside Tie Shi, its monstrous hand stretching out directly to grab Tie Shi’s Dantian, while it let out a strange, ear-piercing laugh.
