RUMBLE!
The entire Cyan Nether Mountain Range actually began to tremble.
Everyone's gaze froze as they looked up toward the depths of the Cyan Nether Sword Sect.
"Wh-what's going on?"
"The Forbidden Land, it's the Forbidden Land! That Lord Owl just ca out of the Forbidden Land. Legend says our Sword Sect's Forbidden Land has an extrely terrifying demon sealed within it. Could it be this Lord Owl?"
"I heard that Hong Renjie's appearance was for the sake of breaking the Forbidden Land's seal. Could it be that he was trying to rescue this demon from inside?"
Inner Sect Disciples had a higher status and were naturally privy to more secrets than Outer Disciples. In an instant, rumors that a demon was sealed in the Sword Sect's Forbidden Land began to spread.
Li Tie's face was a mask of horror. He looked at Wang Jiankun, who had returned to his side. "Sect Leader, is... is that Lord going to forcibly break the seal on the Forbidden Land?"
"Yes!"
Wang Jiankun's face cycled between pale and ashen, his gaze toward Hong Yu filled with venom. "Lord Owl could have left the Forbidden Land long ago, but that battle back then consud too much of his power. If he forcibly breaks the seal, his strength will be greatly diminished. That's why he had us cultivate Hong Renjie, to use his Ancient Thunder Inheritance to open the seal."
"It seems the destruction of his avatar has now thoroughly enraged him."
Wang Jiankun's expression was extrely grim.
Li Tie swallowed hard. "Sect Leader, if Lord Owl erges from the Forbidden Land, with his personality, I'm afraid he'll take his anger out on us!"
"You think I don't know that?"
Wang Jiankun's face was dark as he said coldly, "Regardless, the first person Lord Owl will target is definitely Hong Yu. After he kills Hong Yu, we can figure out a way to appease his anger!"
"I suppose that's our only option."
'The Sword Sect's foundation, built over hundreds of years... I hope it isn't all destroyed today...'
...
"Hm?"
Hong Yu glanced toward the depths of the Sword Sect.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The earth shook and the mountains swayed. The ground cracked and split apart.
"Hahaha, I, Demon Owl, am finally free!"
Suddenly, a golden light shot into the sky. It was the silhouette of a golden sword, and it exploded in the void. What followed was a wild and ear-piercingly vast Thunder Sound.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Above the vast Cyan Nether Sword Sect, winds suddenly gathered and clouds churned. A light breeze, a strong wind, a gale, a storm, a hurricane...
The wind's montum grew stronger, its speed increasing.
The HOWLING of the wind echoed between heaven and earth like the wails of ghosts and cries of wolves. Even so of the Sword Sect's buildings were uprooted. So Outer Disciples weaker than the Earth Soul Realm were flung into the air, swept away by the gales toward the depths of the Sword Sect.
"Dammit, what kind of demon is this? To be so terrifying!"
Feng Xue Xin's expression changed drastically. "All disciples of the Wind and Snow Association, listen! All disciples at or above the Earth Soul Realm must protect the Outer Disciples. Xiaoguai, Tie Shou, the two of you follow . We'll take Hong Yu's sister, Elder Bai, and Xingtian near the Golden Holy Dragon. We'll use the Holy Dragon's powerful body to block the hurricane."
"Yes!"
The disciples of the Cyan Nether Sword Sect supported one another as they resisted the ferocious hurricane.
In stark contrast was the Heaven and Earth Alliance...
Hong Long kicked an Outer Disciple who was clinging to an iron pillar, letting him be swept away by the hurricane while he himself hid behind it. "Fuckin' hell, only an idiot would protect these losers."
The other experts from the Heaven and Earth Alliance all followed his example.
In an instant, no fewer than twenty or thirty Outer Disciples were swept away by the hurricane because of the Heaven and Earth Alliance's selfishness.
"Those bastards from the Heaven and Earth Alliance..."
"I really want to kill him..."
Feng Xue Xin and the others watched, their eyes nearly splitting with rage, their anger burning. But the situation was too critical, and there was nothing they could do.
"Where is the murderer who destroyed my avatar? Get out here and face your death!"
The hurricane suddenly vanished. A cloud of black mist, dozens of zhang high, slowly drifted over. A low grunt filled with chilling killing intent ca from within the black mist.
"Lord Owl, he's the one who destroyed your avatar!" Wang Jiankun roared.
The black mist paused, and a sharp aura instantly locked onto Hong Yu.
The hundred-zhang-tall, blood-red phantom behind Hong Yu also raised its head...
"What? It's you?" Demon Owl's shocked and enraged voice ca from within the black mist.
Hong Yu narrowed his eyes but did not reply.
The black mist, however, stirred violently. Demon Owl's hysterical roar exploded in the void, followed by a sinister, giant black hand. "You bastard! You sealed here all those years ago, and now, after more than a decade, you use a Martial Dao phantom to destroy my avatar. This brat must be your successor, right? Heheheh, I will destroy him today!"
"Hahaha, I will sever your lineage! Die!"
In that instant, the very air between heaven and earth seed to freeze solid.
A giant black hand, at least thirty ters wide, descended from the black mist, pressing down toward the blood-red phantom.
Hong Yu looked up slightly. His figure suddenly leaped high into the air, and as he did, the blood-red phantom behind him condensed a blood-red fist that shot out with a SWISH.
The blood-red light of the fist collided with the giant black hand in the void.
BOOM!
Where the two powerful forces clashed, a violent wave of energy surged outward.
The dispersing energy made the very void tremble.
BOOM!
The hundred-zhang blood-red phantom fell back to the ground.
As its feet landed, a CRACKING sound rang out. A deep, dark chasm spread out directly from between its feet. The fissure in the earth stretched for one or two hundred ters before stopping, but the scar, as if the ground had been torn open, remained permanently on the Cyan Nether Main Peak's plaza.
"If your true self were here, I would be no match for you. Unfortunately, you are now rely a remnant of the Mysteries of Martial Arts that this little brat relies on. With just this, you are far from being my opponent! Just watch as I tear your successor to shreds..."
From within the black mist, Demon Owl's voice grew more and more unrestrained and wild.
But the information revealed in his words sent a tremor through Hong Yu's mind and body. 'Mysteries of Martial Arts? What are the Mysteries of Martial Arts? He said soone left them inside my body? Who was that person?'
However, Demon Owl gave him no ti to think.
"Heheheh, you pitiful little brat, die!"
Demon Owl's voice was like rolling thunder, deafening. "Demon Cloud Wave!"
RUMBLE!
Within the black clouds, streaks of blood-red lightning surged. The lightning writhed in the void like tens of thousands of blood-red thunder serpents, finally coalescing beneath the black mist to form a blood-red Thunder Ball more than twenty ters high.
The Thunder Ball was imnse. The pressure it generated before it had even fully ford was already enough to cause several hundred-zhang-tall mountain peaks below to shatter under its might.
If its re pressure could cause hundred-zhang peaks to collapse, then should this Thunder Ball fall, the entire Cyan Nether Sword Sect would likely be annihilated.
Hong Yu's blood-red gaze shifted behind him...
The weakened Golden Holy Dragon was curled up, sheltering Feng Xue Xin, Yun ngyao, Elder Bai, and the others within its coils.
In other areas, the experts of the Wind and Snow Association were all protecting the Outer Disciples...
'If this attack lands here, the entire Cyan Nether Main Peak will probably be destroyed. How many people will survive? No, I can't let them be innocently implicated!' As this thought raced through Hong Yu's mind, he leaped high and bounded away from Cyan Nether Main Peak.
Under the shelter of the blood-red phantom, his speed was incredibly fast, like a blood-red giant leaping and dashing between the mountains.
The black mist drifted rapidly through the void in pursuit of Hong Yu. "Heheheh, you can't escape!"
After madly dashing for two or three kiloters away from the Cyan Nether Sword Sect, Hong Yu finally ca to a stop.
The blood-red phantom abruptly turned, raised its head slightly, and stared at the black mist suspended in the void.
The blood-red Thunder Ball had already finished forming. Demon Owl let out a sinister sneer. "Die!"
Amidst a SIZZLING sound, the blood-red Thunder Ball, wreathed in terrifying arcs of lightning, descended from the sky and pressed down toward Hong Yu.
"Kill!"
The blood-red phantom uttered a single, muffled word.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The single word "Kill" actually ford an invisible force that rushed toward the Demon Cloud Wave. The two forces clashed and exploded, tearing at and neutralizing each other. But the blood-red Thunder Ball ford by the Demon Cloud Wave was simply too massive. Even though the hundred-zhang blood-red phantom was a remnant of the Mysteries of Martial Arts left by a supre expert, Hong Yu was ultimately far too weak and simply couldn't unleash its true power.
BOOM!
The blood-red phantom stumbled back several steps, its bloody light dimming slightly.
"Heheheh, if your true self were here, you could have shattered my Demon Cloud Wave with the Ancient Killing Sound. But alas, you are now just a remnant of the Mysteries of Martial Arts..."
As Demon Owl let out a sinister laugh, he conjured two massive black fists and slamd them fiercely into the Demon Cloud Wave.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The Demon Cloud Wave trembled violently, its speed increasing once more.
The space around the Demon Cloud Wave seed to distort. The air was repelled and vaporized, forming a vacuum. Before it even truly hit the ground, the land within the several-thousand-square-ter area covered by the Demon Cloud Wave collapsed and caved in.
Trees, rivers, animals—all life was extinguished under the pressure of the Demon Cloud Wave's aftershocks.
Wherever it passed, a thousand li of scorched earth was left behind!
Wherever the Demon Cloud Wave reached, living creatures were plunged into misery and death!
This was Demon Owl's trump card, the Demon Cloud Wave...
BANG!
Hong Yu threw up his hands to block. The hundred-zhang-tall blood-red phantom simultaneously raised its arms, forcibly blocking the blood-red Thunder Ball, the Demon Cloud Wave.
From the Demon Cloud Wave, storms of lightning suddenly swept out, enveloping the hundred-zhang blood-red phantom.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
With every bolt of lightning that struck, Hong Yu felt as if he'd been hit by a thunderbolt, sharp pains wracking his internal organs. Even under the protection of the Mysteries of Martial Arts, he still felt waves of exhaustion and powerlessness. The true body of this Demon Owl was countless tis stronger than his avatar.
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
The hundred-zhang blood-red phantom ford from the Mysteries of Martial Arts finally couldn't hold on any longer. Cracks appeared on its surface under the Demon Cloud Wave's bombardnt, and they continued to spread.
SIZZLE!
RUMBLE!
As the power of the hundred-zhang blood-red phantom weakened, more and more energy escaped from the Demon Cloud Wave. Each wisp of dispersing energy could destroy a patch of forest or blast open a mountain peak.
Green mountains burned; the earth cracked; peaks collapsed; all life withered...
"Heheheh, allow to send you on your way!" Demon Owl roared.
Ten black demonic palms suddenly slamd into the Demon Cloud Wave. The hundred-zhang blood-red phantom covering Hong Yu finally gave out and exploded with a BOOM. Having lost its final barrier, the Demon Cloud Wave plunged downward, unopposed, smashing toward the ground.
Hong Yu fell to his knees, his hands propping him up on the ground. The imnse demonic pressure was so overwhelming he couldn't even stand up.
BOOM!
The Demon Cloud Wave exploded violently. A blinding flash of light that illuminated half the sky shot into the clouds, as if a brand new, scorching sun had risen.
A massive shockwave of energy swept across the land and mountains for dozens of li in every direction. Everything the shockwave touched was annihilated, turned to dust.
Demon Owl stared at the center of the explosion, sharp, cold laughter echoing from within the black mist.
However, just as it was reveling in its triumph, a teasing voice suddenly ca from within the mushroom cloud that was hundreds of zhang high...
"Friend, aren't you celebrating a little too early?"
