Chapter 33: The Nine-Infant Demon Saint's Terror
"What? What kind of weird magical power is this?"
The terrifying power caused the Xiu Snake Demon King's pupils to shrink, and a deep fear surged within him. He instinctively tried to dodge.
However, facing this blow, a strange feeling rose within him, as if no matter how he moved, he would still be struck.
Most importantly, Xuantian's timing was too cunning - the Five Thunders had already paralyzed both his soul and body.
For a moment, even the Great Daluo Demon King, a direct descendant of the Demon Saint, instinctively felt a sense of despair.
Swish!
From Xuantian's control of the Five Thunders to paralyze the demon's soul and body, to unleashing his full-strength Heaven-shattering Strike - it was a long story to tell, but in reality, it all happened in a flash.
Before Xiu Snake could react, the unimaginably terrifying blow had already struck him.
With a single swish, his massive body was cleaved apart, and an endless, murderous aura erupted, rapidly draining his vitality.
"How… how could a Taiyi Golden Immortal possess so many terrifying spiritual treasures?"
"The great divine power of the Heavenly Gang - even I have never fully comprehended it - and yet these murderous methods seem to surpass even great divine powers."
"No! I am the direct descendant of the Demon Saint! I possess the Primordial Purple Qi! I will not accept this!"
Feeling his vitality fade and his spirit crumble, the Xiu Snake Demon King was filled with resentment.
If he hadn't suffered a series of severe blows, his strength wouldn't have been reduced to less than half.
If he hadn't been in such a hurry, he would have refined the spiritual treasures he had found.
If he hadn't underestimated his foe…
It was at this moment that he realized with horror: even another Daluo Golden Immortal would never have imagined a mere Taiyi could wield such a terrifying array of methods.
Finally, with endless resentment, the Xiu Snake Demon King's vision darkened, and he lost consciousness completely.
With the Six Paths of Reincarnation yet to be established, death meant utter annihilation of both body and soul.
With one strike, the Daluo Demon King perished.
"Huh!"
Looking at the lifeless body of the Daluo Demon King, Xuantian exhaled in relief, though a trace of regret lingered.
Those below the Daluo level were mere ants, yet this demon king, even at his weakest, had been formidable under the blessing of the Great Dao. It showed the truly terrifying nature of a Daluo Golden Immortal.
Furthermore, the Heaven-Splitting Strike was a Dao-level divine power, far surpassing the Heavenly Gang Great Divine Power - and the price of using it was horrifically high.
His condition at the moment wasn't great. Cracks had appeared all over his body.
If not for his third level of profound physical cultivation, with a body comparable to an innate spiritual treasure, the backlash alone would have shattered him.
His spirit, even more than his body, throbbed with intense pain. It would take some time before he could unleash such a divine power again.
Even so, the harvest was astonishing.
Gazing at the massive corpse of the Xiu Snake Demon King, Xuantian didn't waste time counting his gains. With a mighty hand, he grabbed the body and stored it in the Pot of Heaven World.
Beside him, Xiao Jin was completely stunned.
A Daluo Demon King, slain by his own master?
A Taiyi Golden Immortal defeating a Daluo Golden Immortal - if word spread, it would shake the entire Primordial World.
If Xiao Jin had once been proud as a Treasure-Hunting Mouse, now he was utterly submissive, silently celebrating his fortune at following such a terrifying master.
"Let's go."
Xuantian spoke lightly. The Daluo Demon King had already suffered a severe blow, perhaps had even been hunted before. Staying here was dangerous. Without lingering, he and the still-shocked Xiao Jin vanished instantly.
"Who? Who killed my bloodline descendant?"
In the Primordial World Demonic Heavens, the moment the Xiu Snake Demon King perished, the Nine-Infant Demon Saint sensed it. All nine of its heads roared in fury.
As a demon saint, it had many descendants, but few had ever reached the Daluo Golden Immortal realm.
Among them, the Xiu Snake Demon King had the purest bloodline and the greatest potential. And now, he had fallen.
"Hmph! I, the Nine-Infant, must see who dared to kill my direct descendant!"
Each of the Nine-Infant Demon Saint's nine heads glimmered with a cold, sinister light.
As a Primordial Demon Saint, it possessed a powerful innate magical ability - to draw upon the power of its bloodline and witness the moments surrounding its descendant's fall.
As the Nine-Infant Demon Saint invoked this power, the avenue around him roared. Soon, a vast, illusory river of time appeared.
Countless scenes unfolded - Hongyun's self-destruction, the Snake Demon King seizing the red gourd.
Seeing this, the Nine-Infant Demon Saint's expression shifted.
The red gourd was Hongyun's companion treasure — meaning the Primordial Purple Qi was likely within it!
He continued watching, pursued by several great masters, the Snake Demon King had self-destructed twice, escaping with only his head, fleeing into a spiritual vein.
At that moment, a figure appeared before him.
The Nine-Infant Demon Saint's eyes lit up. This was clearly the one who had killed his descendant.
But just as he tried to see clearly, a faint aura of chaos enveloped the figure, blurring all details.
"What? Concealing the secrets of Heaven? Even I cannot see through it?"
Shock flashed in the Nine-Infant Demon Saint's eyes. His bloodline divine power should have revealed anyone below a Sage, yet now he couldn't see clearly.
Determined, he fully mobilized his divine power to pierce the mystery.
But an instinctive sense of danger surged within him.
Before he could react, an ancient gray stone bead suddenly shot out of the chaos, transcending time and space, and smashed toward him.
"What!!!"
Bang!
The bead's terrifying force struck the Nine-Infant Demon Saint, sending him flying and even causing his luck to plummet.
"How could this Snake Demon King possess so many treasures?!"
Meanwhile, forgetting the Demon Saint who had been knocked unconscious while prying into the heavens, Xuantian sat on Xiao Jin's back.
Opening the Snake Demon King's treasure storage, he froze in shock.
Inside were more than a dozen innate spiritual treasures - all top-quality pieces.
More astonishingly, there were even four top-grade innate spiritual treasures.
Among them was a blue orb, within which seemed to lie a boundless world of water.
"Is this… the Innate Water Spirit Orb?"
