The Demon with Holy Radiance

The space has been locked down!

’Damn it, how does everyone know how to use a spatial lockdown technique?!’

Yang An’s heart felt as heavy as a stone. He was just a stone’s throw from Earth Demon Cliff, yet it might as well have been an impassable chasm.

Huan was inside Earth Demon Cliff and couldn’t help him. If he wanted to get in, he would have to rely on his own power.

In the brief moment his focus wavered, Xuan You appeared behind him. With a wave of his hand, he brought his palm down hard on Yang An.

Yang An reacted quickly. He didn’t dare hold anything back, immediately unleashing his own Power of Rules and every technique at his disposal.

The figure of a Light Giant flickered into existence, crowned by a solemn, holy Light Wheel, wrapped in the phantom of a radiant Cyan Dragon, and crackling with thundering red and silver serpents of lightning—all of it enveloped within an immense Divine Aspect.

BOOM!

Facing Xuan You’s attack, the Light Giant fearlessly threw a punch, and the two attacks collided head-on.

The next moment, the Light Giant staggered back several steps, its feet carving a massive trench in the ground.

The Light Giant had been unable to withstand Xuan You’s strike. One of its arms exploded, disintegrating into countless motes of light.

Meanwhile, distorted rays of light erupted from Xuan You’s body. They had easily pierced through him, attempting to disintegrate his flesh from the inside.

From a distance, it looked as if the Light Giant’s punch had landed on Xuan You, forming a thick pillar of light that shot straight through him and blasted a deep, bottomless pit into the ground.

But in the face of Yang An’s attack, Xuan You, though surprised that Yang An had integrated a Light Category Power of Rules, had already anticipated the damage the light would inflict upon his body.

As the light entered his body, Xuan You’s flesh began to rot away rapidly, the corruption revealing a jade-colored skeleton beneath.

Without the protection of his flesh, the light continued its attempt to dissolve the skeleton, but the frame’s durability was beyond imagination.

The light, which could swiftly dissolve all things, seemed to slow down a hundredfold as it tried to break down the jade skeleton. It was like trying to drive a nail into a steel plate; a hundred strikes might not even leave a dent.

Once Yang An was knocked back and the Power of Light dissipated, a swarm of maggots appeared on the skeleton. As if a film were being played in reverse, they generated new flesh, which formed a rotting body that finally restored Xuan You’s original form.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Inside the Light Giant, Yang An’s heart sank.

’I don’t know what kind of technique this guy is using. I can’t even break through his defense.’

Having restored his body, Xuan You looked down on the Light Giant. He finally understood why Jishan had died at Earth Demon Cliff.

Even without the Death Lord making a move, Yang An’s strength alone was indeed enough to have killed Jishan.

But regardless, now that Yang An had fallen into his hands, there was no chance of escape.

’After all, I’m not a piece of trash like Jishan.’

He had used the Power of Rules he controlled—the power of Human Calamity—to lock down the area. No teleportation or Escape Technique would work. The only way for Yang An to reach Earth Demon Cliff was to walk there on his own two feet.

Furthermore, all of Yang An’s techniques, even the so-called forbidden Power of Light, would be drastically weakened upon contact with the Four Bones within his body.

He was already in an invincible position. This was the source of his confidence.
