The Demon with Holy Radiance

Techniques were useless!

In that same instant, Yang An realized this fact as well.

’My Dark Communication Secret Spell has always been invincible... but its black light is being forcibly torn apart and devoured by the abyss below?’

If this had happened before, Yang An would never have believed such a situation was possible.

But this was a Forbidden Land filled with the immeasurable Power of Rules. Any bizarre phenomenon could occur, so he had no choice but to accept this reality.

Countless demonic creatures had already swarmed him from all directions, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws as they attacked in unison. Each was uglier and more ferocious than the last.

Without hesitation, Yang An activated his two great Body Refining Techniques, the Jade Kala Vajra Body and the Red Wheel Infinite Body. His figure swelled as he unleashed his full power.

’Since Techniques are useless, I’ll use my Physical Power to forcibly blast a path open and escape this place.’

But as he unleashed a devastating two-fisted punch, his expression abruptly changed and he was thrown backward.

The demonic creatures showed no fear, meeting his attack with their own offensive measures.

To Yang An’s surprise, the Physical Power of these demonic creatures was on par with his own in his normal state.

It was only because he had activated the physical transformations of his two Body Refining Techniques that he could face these creatures simultaneously.

’If I’d underestimated those things just now, I would have been in serious trouble.’

In front of him, countless demonic creatures reeled from the terrifying impact of Yang An’s blow. The force they absorbed was even greater, and vast numbers of them were instantly torn to pieces, shattered by the shockwave.

But there were simply too many of them, coming one after another. As soon as some died, new ones leaped out from the abyss below, one by one, like a pack of ravenous jackals.

In the distance, One-Eyed watched from mid-air, laughing uncontrollably.

He had long expected this outcome.

Among the majority of enemies he had faced in his previous life, all had met the same fate without exception.

Techniques were useless. No matter how great one’s Physical Power, faced with so many demonic creatures, one could resist for a while but never for long.

The abyss would be their final destination, and their bodies and souls would become his property.

All he had to do was wait quietly for Yang An to be overwhelmed by the countless demonic creatures. Then, at Yang An’s weakest moment, he would seize everything from him. He didn’t need to do anything else.

At this thought, although his body was already twisted and distorted, the mirth in his single eye grew even stronger.

Yang An retreated more than ten meters before he could steady himself. ’I thought I hadn’t underestimated these demonic creatures, but it turns out I was careless after all.’

The moment he regained his footing, he threw another punch.

BOOM! With a loud crash, more than a dozen charging demonic creatures were blasted to smithereens. But at the same time, even more swarmed forward, leaving not even the slightest gap for him to use his Light and Shadow Escape Technique.

’The situation is not good!’

A brilliant light once again erupted from Yang An’s body, enveloping all the demonic creatures within a radius of several hundred meters.

’I still have to try using the power of my Techniques.’

But as soon as he activated the Light Magic, the same thing happened again. Although the closest demonic creatures were dissolved the instant the light bloomed, before it could reach the ones behind them, the light was completely absorbed by the abyss below.

The abyss was like a giant whirlpool; any Technique that was activated would ultimately be sucked into its vortex.

’Techniques still don’t work!’

’The situation is getting worse!’

A grave expression appeared on Yang An’s face. Faced with such a bizarre Power of Rules, he felt helpless for the first time.

’Without the damage from my Techniques, it’s as if my two most important hands have been chopped off. I have far fewer options available.’

Moreover, he had observed a crucial point: after the Techniques he used were absorbed by the abyss, even more demonic creatures appeared!

The power of his Techniques was useless. Fighting with Physical Power was effective, but against such a massive number of demonic creatures, it had little overall effect.

Yang An was frustrated. He couldn’t even use the Drumming Technique. Although the Drumming Technique could amplify the power of his strikes, it was still a Technique. Using it would only cause more and more demonic creatures to appear.

After smashing apart another wave of demonic creatures that were about to close in on him, Yang An began to think about how to handle the current situation.

’If that guy One-Eyed hadn’t suddenly appeared, I could have avoided a direct confrontation with the Power of Rules here.’

"HAHAHA! This Daoist Master advises you to give up the struggle and save your energy. Just let this Daoist Master devour you obediently! Your fate is sealed. Once you enter this place, you can forget about ever leaving!"

One-Eyed even grew bold enough to approach, looking down on Yang An from above with unbridled arrogance as he taunted him.

As an Insect Transformation Body, as long as he didn’t fly too high, he could move freely in mid-air without triggering the other Powers of Rules.

With so many demonic creatures below dealing with Yang An, and with the restrictions of the Power of Rules, Yang An couldn’t spare a hand to deal with him. Thus, he acted with utter confidence.

All he had to do now was wait for Yang An’s inevitable death.

BOOM—

This punch seemed powerful enough to shatter space itself, but it only managed to obliterate several dozen more demonic creatures. Yang An could feel his breathing becoming ragged.

’If this continues, I’ll undoubtedly end up just as that fellow One-Eyed predicted.’
