The Demon with Holy Radiance

’So this is the Insect Dao?’

The assault just now wasn’t a physical one. It was more like Yang An’s body had been disassembled, cut into pieces, and scattered across countless spaces before being instantly reassembled.

It was a method of forced teleportation.

’As for why this guy didn’t use this move before, perhaps it was because I wasn’t close enough.’

"Sir, why are you attacking me? We’ve never met..."

Yang An wore a mask, and he had even changed his clothes.

Although the man had forcefully intercepted him, he still tried to explain himself.

"His Highness the Buddha Prince, why be so secretive? Why not take off that mask and talk?"

Hai Yun was already certain that this was the Buddha’s Son, De Ji. His tone was full of mockery.

"I’m not this Buddha’s Son you speak of, Sir. This mask is a result of my Cultivation Technique and cannot be removed. You must have the wrong person."

"Is that so? In that case, allow me to take it off for you."

As Hai Yun spoke, he reached out, his hand pressing toward Yang An’s face.

Right before Yang An’s eyes, the hand suddenly accelerated, instantly piercing through his face.

But by then, Yang An’s face had already dissolved into a fragmented afterimage as he retreated.

At the same time, a brilliant light erupted from his body, instantly engulfing Hai Yun.

In that instant, Yang An unleashed every Light Magic he had mastered, even pouring out the vast amount of Celestial Gnomon Light he had been accumulating.

The pressure from this man was simply too immense. Facing an Insect Dao expert, Yang An couldn’t hold anything back.

He was confident he could kill a Zombie God, but he had never fought a Cultivator from the Insect Dao.

The gap between these two realms was perhaps even greater than the one between Corpse Transformation and Zombie God. He had no choice but to go all out.

The light flared for several breaths, but Yang An had no idea what Hai Yun’s condition was. He had tried to place a Qi Seal on him a moment ago, but he had failed.

This was the first time such a thing had happened since he’d mastered Qi Seal and Sensing.

However, while he couldn’t perceive Hai Yun’s condition, he could still sense his aura.

’Three breaths. Three breaths at most.’

Even a Cultivator at the Late Stage of Zombie God would have been reduced to ash by this torrent of light if caught off guard.

But he was facing an Insect Dao expert. Yang An maintained his full-power assault for over ten breaths. Even outside the light, everything within a thousand-meter radius was incinerated.

Not even ten Zombie Gods could have withstood such power.

When he felt Hai Yun’s aura suddenly vanish, the light finally dissipated. Using the Light and Shadow Escape Technique, Yang An cautiously created some distance.

But when he saw the scene after the light faded, he froze.

A pair of giant palms were pressed together as if they had grown out of the earth itself. Now, their flesh had melted away, leaving only an inky-black skeleton.

Hai Yun was within those giant palms. As the palms dissolved, his figure was revealed, but he too had almost no flesh left on his body, likewise reduced to a mere skeleton.

Yang An could no longer sense his aura. It seemed as if the man was already dead.

’But the situation is bizarre. If he were truly dead, there shouldn’t be any remains.’

Almost at the same moment the light faded, Hai Yun and the giant palms weathered away in an instant, leaving nothing behind.

Seeing this, Yang An’s frown deepened.

’Too easy! This was all way too easy!’

’If he were a Zombie God, I’d be certain he was dead. But this is an Insect Dao expert. Could someone in the Insect Dao Realm really be killed so easily?’

The whole thing felt indescribably strange.

Just as Yang An was feeling confused, a ripple suddenly spread out from that same spot, expanding in an instant.

Where Hai Yun’s body had dissolved, a black, shadowy figure appeared.

In a flash, countless lines converged from all directions, coalescing within the black shadow.

In the blink of an eye, Hai Yun reappeared, looking at Yang An with a solemn expression.

"That was close... just barely!

His Highness the Buddha Prince, to think you’ve mastered so many Light Forbidden Techniques. How did you do it?"

Hai Yun, too, felt the immense danger. If he weren’t an Insect Dao expert who had already fused with a complete Forbidden Artifact, and if he hadn’t been on guard, that terrifying blast of light, right at its epicenter, could have truly dealt him a fatal blow.

’He really isn’t dead!’

Yang An’s heart tightened. The man had withstood over ten breaths of his full-powered Magic Light and was completely unharmed. The scene just now was indeed an illusion.

’Is this the power of the Insect Dao?’

’My previously infallible Light Magic has failed to kill an enemy for the first time. Although I expected facing an Insect Dao expert to be difficult, I never imagined it would be like this.’

Naturally, Yang An had no intention of answering Hai Yun’s question.

The Power of Rules that Hai Yun wielded was also bizarre and unknown. Escape was impossible right now; his only option was to try attacking again.

Jade Kala Vajra Body! Activate!

Red Wheel Infinite Body! Activate!

Qi Guang Technique! Absorb!

In an instant, Yang An activated all of his Body Refining Techniques without holding anything back.

The first level of the Jade Kala Vajra Body’s physical transformation caused his body to swell, covering him in golden Dust.

This was also the first time he had fully utilized the Red Wheel Infinite Body. He instantly transformed into a being of light, his physical strength soaring dramatically.

And with the Qi Guang Technique, he absorbed all of the Magic Light into his body.
