Chapter 245
He had to leave quickly, otherwise, if he waited any longer, he wouldn’t be able to leave even if he wanted to.
With a wave of his hand, a streak of golden light flew out from an inconspicuous clump of dirt and landed directly into Adam’s grasp.
The advantage of using the Yellow Emperor’s Sword as the formation core was that the core could be repositioned at will.
As long as the sword’s location wasn’t exposed or destroyed, the grand formation would persist until its energy was completely depleted.
However, this single operation had cost him almost his entire fortune, he had spent roughly five million top-tier spirit stones.
Apart from the six hundred thousand the scruffy old Daoist gave him, he had burned through all the spirit stones he brought from the Spirit-Forsaken Land.
"Thanks for the hard work." Adam gently stroked the blade, only a sword of the Yellow Emperor’s Sword’s supreme caliber could act as an formation core and withstand explosive power at this level.
Adam swept his gaze around once more, after ensuring there were no issues, he turned to leave.
Suddenly, a terrifying fist made of stark white bone smashed toward his forehead.
The speed was so blindingly fast he couldn’t react at all.
The icy dread of death instantly spread through his entire body, but he couldn’t move a muscle, that demonic energy carried an immense, paralyzing pressure, he couldn’t even twitch a single finger.
The one attacking him was that Demon, he actually hadn’t died.
Although there was barely a single piece of intact flesh left on his body, and his limbs were reduced to bare, ghastly white bone, the flesh around his chest covering his heart remained intact.
Adam instantly understood, this Demon must have used his limbs to shield his heart during the explosion.
That was how he barely survived, but even grievously injured, killing Adam was still effortless for him.
Is it going to end here? Adam’s eyes were full of deep regret, he should have just recalled the Yellow Emperor’s Sword from a distance, he shouldn’t have come over in person.
Even though he had carefully scanned the area with his divine soul before approaching, he had been far too careless.
This was a Ninth Heaven Deity.
An existence closest to a true Saint, furthermore, he had trusted the formation’s destructive power and his own premonition too much, he hadn’t sensed this mortal danger at all.
"You dare!"
Suddenly, a fair, tender hand reached straight out from Adam’s forehead, it launched a casual palm strike to meet the Demon’s skeletal fist.
The fair, soft skin of that palm formed a stark contrast with the inky black demonic energy swirling over the gruesome bone fist.
Subsequently, a woman with a phenomenal figure drifted gracefully out of Adam’s mindscape, dressed in a pristine white gauze dress, her movements were as elegant as a startled swan and as fluid as a soaring dragon.
Though she didn’t look old, her disposition was like that of an aloof, supreme Empress looking down upon all living beings.
A holy, noble, and inviolable aura slowly rippled out from her.
She looked like an unreachable fairy from the highest heavens, divine and untouchable.
If she had a face, it would be even better.
But the lack of a face added an intensely bizarre, eerie feeling to the scene.
It was the faceless woman.
Fist and palm collided, the supposedly domineering, life-ending fist was instantly blasted away, and an entire skeletal arm was completely reduced to fine powder.
Then, his body crashed heavily into the ground.
In an instant, apart from his torso, all remaining limbs shattered into dust.
"You... who are you?! You’re actually still alive?! This is impossible! I must report this to the Lord!" Houda’s voice was wretched and hoarse, his vocal cords severely burned.
Without limbs, his body couldn’t support itself to move, he could only use his chin to pathetically drag himself across the ground, but his crawling speed was pitifully slow.
The faceless woman didn’t speak a single word, she simply unleashed another casual palm strike, Houda’s head flew high into the air.
"Noisy!" After uttering that single word, without any further explanation, she seamlessly slipped right back into Adam’s divine soul.
Adam’s mouth twitched violently, does she really treat my head as her own house?
But with the fatal danger eliminated, he didn’t have to die, Adam let out a massive sigh of relief, his heart finally settling back down.
He had truly been prepared to die just a moment ago, he never expected this faceless woman to appear at the most critical juncture.
Who exactly is this woman? That Demon seemed to recognize her, and she was unfathomably strong.
A Ninth Heaven Deity, an existence closest to a Saint, was instantly killed by a single palm strike as if he were nothing but a fly.
It was highly possible her realm wasn’t just Deity, but a genuine Saint.
Moreover, her appearance made the Demon immediately want to report to the Lord, this meant her background was terrifyingly profound.
But Adam didn’t have time to dwell on it, he already sensed several streaks of light rushing over from the horizon.
They were definitely experts attracted by the cataclysmic commotion.
This was actually what he wanted, let them discover the scene and spread the news for him.
A Second Heaven Deity had successfully slain a Ninth Heaven Demon and an Eighth Heaven Nova Clan elder, no matter the era, news like this was an absolutely earth-shattering event.
After hastily making a few more arrangements, he used the Yellow Emperor’s Sword to tear open the void, took a single step in, and vanished.
Spatial travel within the same world didn’t cause nearly as much cosmic disturbance.
Just a few seconds after he left, an old man bearing the transcendent aura of an immortal descended from mid-air.
Looking at the apocalyptic crater and the decapitated Demon’s corpse, his jaw dropped wide open in utter disbelief.
"Wh-what... what happened here?"
"A Ninth Heaven Deity... actually died."
"Is this... the work of the Human Race?"
The old man with a transcendent, immortal-like bearing was somewhat bewildered and uncertain.
