Chapter 409 The Fall of the Heavenly Demon

"what?!"

Upon hearing Yu Zhun's sudden low shout, Motuo paused slightly, and his hand, which was reaching for the core of the Heavenly Demon Battle Formation, also froze for a moment.

The next instant, the core of the Heavenly Demon Battle Formation disappeared from its original spot.

"What did you do?!" Seeing the cooked duck fly away, Motuo's eyes instantly turned bloodshot with rage, and his gaze towards Yu Zhun was filled with murderous intent.

"You are so brave!"

With a roar, the enraged Motuo attacked without hesitation. A surge of powerful demonic energy transformed into a long spear and stabbed fiercely towards Yu Zhun's chest.

However, Yu Zhun showed no intention of resisting. With a slightly strange smile on his face, he took the blow from Motuo head-on and then turned into ashes and disappeared from the spot.

He died without any struggle?

Motuo's brow twitched suddenly.

Could Shatu be an undercover agent from another demonic faction?

Which demon is it?
Other demons from the Eight Directions? Or some ambitious Thousand Demons?
No, that's not right!

Motuo's eyes narrowed.

Among the ashes of Yu Zhun's fall, he did not see the demon core that should have appeared!

This guy isn't dead!

The moment they realized this, Medog seemed to feel a suffocating threat surging towards them.

Turning his head, he saw a celestial demon, a thousand meters tall, appear behind him. Its flesh and blood texture, so different from that of ordinary true demons, clearly indicated its identity.

It was none other than the Killing Gods who had arrived at some unknown time.

Motuo's expression instantly turned serious.

"All personnel, form ranks!"

With a low shout from Motuo, all the members of the Jiaojian Heavenly Demon Clan surged into the sky with their demonic energy, instantly merging into one and transforming into a colossal true demon with a body nearly 100,000 meters tall.

The Soul-Severing Dragon Scissors, which could hold ten thousand people and was regarded as a mobile battleground by the Dragon Scissors Heavenly Demon Clan, was now held tightly in the hands of the Ten Thousand Demons True Demons, just right.

The enormous figure, seemingly reaching for the heavens, exuded an overwhelming and terrifying pressure as it looked down upon the demons and gods of slaughter.

With just one glance, the oppressive feeling made the surrounding space almost stand still.

This is the army of ten thousand demons!
The peak of the demons, capable of fighting two levels above the rest, is also the pinnacle of the Demonic Battle Formation. Once it appears, it is enough to stir up the winds and clouds!
"The Godslayers..." The true demon of the Ten Thousand Demons manifested the face of Motuo, his sharp eyes now filled with boundless rage.

"You ant-like thing, how dare you play me?"

As he spoke, he controlled the myriad demons to raise the Soul-Severing Dragon Scissors in their hands, "Today, all of you will die, without exception."

"Not necessarily." Yu Zhun chuckled softly. Having regained control of his Heavenly Demon body, he sensed the efforts and preparations others had made during their separation.

In a little while, it will be time to give the other person a surprise.

When Yu Zhun intentionally killed himself, he actually used a smokescreen, pulling off a switcheroo in full view of everyone.

The true demon body was not actually killed, but was quietly switched with the original body. After that, the one who boarded the Soul-Severing Dragon Scissors was the true demon body holding the core.

Yu Zhun's true form quietly disappeared amidst the chaos, and then he joined up with the Killing Gods who had been lying in ambush nearby.

As he watched the terrifying dragon-like scissors descend rapidly from the sky, resembling the might of heaven, a glint of light flashed deep in Yu Zhun's eyes, and he let out a low shout in his heart.

"Soul-capturing!"

A burst of eerie light erupted from the eyes of the God of Slaughter's Heavenly Demons, stabbing fiercely towards the True Demons of the Myriad Demons. The instant the eerie light descended, a large mass of demonic energy, carrying thousands of figures, was violently pulled down.

The massive bodies of the Ten Thousand Demons True Demons suddenly froze.

The next instant, the enormous, sky-covering body of the true demon collapsed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a deflated balloon.

"How can it be?!"

Two exclamations rang out simultaneously.

The first sound came from the outside world; it was Motuo's involuntary exclamation. His features, imprinted on the true demon's face, were distorted to the extreme by extreme astonishment and the rapid collapse of the true demon's body. His inner astonishment was beyond words.

In all his years, he had never seen such a bizarre method.

The second exclamation came from within the ranks of the true demons of the Jiaojian Heavenly Demon Clan.

That was the exclamation of the Demon Lord Changxuan.

He was all too familiar with the abilities that the Demon Gods of Slaughter were using at this moment.

That was none other than the "Soul-Seizing" ability that once belonged to the Azure Tiger Clan!
But the power that the God of Slaughter used at this moment far exceeded his expectations.

In the past, when the Azure Tiger Clan used this ability, they could only forcibly extract ten people from the opponent's formation, and sometimes even fewer.

In order to counter the Azure Tiger Clan's "soul-stealing" ability, each of the other five major demon factions prepared about twenty substitutes to replenish their ranks the moment a member was forcibly taken away, ensuring that their own combat strength was not compromised.

The Jiaojian Heavenly Demon Clan is a group of ten thousand demons, with more than six hundred more members than the minimum standard of ten thousand. In the mind of the Changxuan Demon Lord, even if the Killing God Clan possessed the abilities of the Azure Tiger Clan, it would not be able to affect the overall situation.

But at this moment, he realized that he was completely wrong.

The same ability, when wielded by the God of Slaughter, is far more powerful than that of the Azure Tiger Clan, reaching an astonishing level.

The Jiaojian Heavenly Demon Clan, who had initially held the advantage, were instantly reduced from a force of ten thousand demons to a force of a thousand demons…

The heart of the Demon Lord Changxuan trembled.

He has begun to seriously consider whether his choice was the right one.

If he didn't join the Jiaojian Tianmo Clan but instead went directly to the Killing God Clan, would Yu Zhun spare his life and allow him to join?

However, it seems too late to regret it now.

The moment after "Soul Capture," Yu Zhun, controlling the Killing God Demons, had two daggers in his hands and fiercely attacked the still unstable Jiaojian Demons.

Take advantage of his illness and kill him!
"Ping—"

With a sharp, explosive sound, the Soul-Severing Dragon Scissors struck the dagger heavily, repelling the all-out attack of the God of Slaughter's Heavenly Demons.

Seeing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Yu Zhun's eyes.

Those who can achieve the status of the Ten Thousand Demons and the Eight Directions Heavenly Demons are all powerful demons who have experienced countless battles. Although he caught his opponent off guard with his "Soul-Seizing" move, the opponent still stabilized instantly.

At this moment, the size of the Jiaojian Heavenly Demon Clan had shrunk from 100,000 meters to 10,000 meters, becoming the size of an ordinary thousand demons.

However, their numbers exceeded nine thousand, which was not much less than before, so their strength far exceeded that of ordinary demons.

Furthermore, the opponent also possessed one of the Eight Treasures, the Soul-Severing Dragon Scissors, which had also shrunk tenfold but whose power remained undiminished…

It can be said that Yu Zhun's plan only brought the opponent to a level of strength equal to that of the Killing Gods and the Heavenly Demons.

"I did underestimate you," Mo Tuo said in a deep voice, his eyes no longer showing any contempt as he looked at the demons of the God of Slaughter.

"For so many years, even the other seven Heavenly Demons have never forced me into such a difficult situation."

"However, this farce should end now!" A murderous intent surged deep in Mo Tuo's eyes. In the next instant, he appeared in front of the God of Slaughter's Heavenly Demons, holding the Dragon Scissors. The Dragon Scissors drew an arc in mid-air, and then a dragon's roar resounded, transforming directly into a ferocious black dragon.

Motuo controlled the true demons of the Jiaojian Heavenly Demon Clan, standing on the head of the black dragon, instantly rising into the sky and attacking the Killing God Heavenly Demon Clan below from mid-air.

"Soul-Severing Flood Dragon Slayer!"

Wherever the black dragon passed, the surrounding space seemed to be sliced ​​open by invisible blades, and violent spatial rifts instantly formed. No one doubted the terrifying destructive power of this attack.

Furthermore, the Soul-Severing Dragon Scissors possess the unique effect of simultaneously defeating the True Demon and instantly killing all members of the formation…

This attack was so powerful that no demon in the tenth level of the Netherworld dared to take it head-on!
The next instant, the black dragon, which was large enough to carry the true demons of the Jiaojian Heavenly Demon, opened its mouth full of sharp teeth and swallowed the God of Slaughter Heavenly Demons whole.

Beneath its enormous and exaggerated size, the God of Slaughter Heavenly Demons, which were only a thousand meters tall, were like a candy bean, which could be easily swallowed!

A serious look flashed deep in Yu Zhun's eyes.

Under his control, the Demon Gods of Slaughter instantly moved ten thousand meters to the side, appearing outside the attack range of this strike.

But in the next instant, the black dragon let out a fierce roar, and with a casual swipe of its claw, it easily tore open the void. Its huge dragon head reached into the torn crack, and then it crossed ten thousand meters to appear in front of the God of Slaughter and the Heavenly Demons.

close.

too close.

At such a distance, Yu Zhun could even clearly see the details of every single one of the black dragon's sharp teeth.

Can't avoid it.

Yu Zhun already had the answer in his heart.

The opponent has the ability to traverse space; this attack is locked onto them and cannot be dodged in a conventional way.

All he could do was tough it out!
The next instant, golden light erupted from the bodies of the God of Slaughter and the Heavenly Demons.

With a sickeningly loud sound, the Demon God of Slaughter was bitten hard by the black dragon, but the golden light that erupted around him left him unharmed.

As if biting into a solid rock, several of the black dragon's sharp teeth were broken. Yu Zhun did not let this opportunity pass, and plunged his dagger into the flesh of the black dragon's gums.

One-hit kill, trigger it!
The black dragon let out a mournful roar, and in the next instant, its form vanished, transforming back into the dragon scissors in the hands of the true demons of the Dragon Scissors Heavenly Demon Clan.

However, the energy fluctuations within it have noticeably dimmed, and it is absolutely impossible for them to recover easily in a short period of time.

Medog's expression was extremely gloomy.

He had never used this move even when facing the other seven Heavenly Demons of equal strength; it was his true trump card. But facing the God of Slaughter, whose methods were unpredictable and who possessed two fragments, he did not hesitate to use it directly, attempting to end the battle quickly.

But that's how it turned out.

Not only did it fail to harm the opponent, but it also severely injured Jiao Jian.

Putting everything else aside, he won't be able to use that ability again anytime soon.

He hadn't encountered such a formidable enemy in a long time.

It seems we have no choice but to resort to this last resort.

With a thought, the Soul-Severing Dragon Scissors swiftly merged into the bodies of the true demons of the Dragon Scissors Heavenly Demon Clan, and finally disappeared completely.

Meanwhile, the bodies of the true demons of the Jiaojian Heavenly Demon Clan also underwent tremendous changes. The already incredibly dense demonic energy intertwined at a speed visible to the naked eye, eventually transforming into a state almost like flesh and blood.

"A demon?!" Yu Zhun couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Because the true demons of the Jiaojian Heavenly Demon Clan, after fusing with the Jiaojian, look remarkably similar to the Heavenly Demons summoned by the Heavenly Demon Battle Formation.

If the opponent truly transforms from a True Demon into a Heavenly Demon, with their astonishing numbers approaching ten thousand, the difference in strength between the two sides will be like heaven and earth.

“That’s right, it’s the Heavenly Demon.” Motuo’s deep voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth. “Yu Zhun, you should be proud.”

“You and your Killing Gods are the only opponents who have ever seen this form, because this form is an absolute trump card that Jiaojian can only use once.”

"In this posture, the Demonic Descent Battle Formation will temporarily transform into the Heavenly Demon Battle Formation, thereby unleashing an incomparably powerful force."

"You should know what a battle formation of nearly 10,000 demons means."

"And now, it will become a reality."

As the voice echoed, Motuo held a long spear in his hand and walked step by step toward Yu Zhun, saying, "Now, prepare for your death."

"You've driven me to this point; your crimes are unforgivable!"

“It is indeed an unforgivable crime…” Yu Zhun said in a low voice, “but not me, but you.”

"Who gave you permission to use up my trump card?"

“…What?” Mo Tuo was stunned for a moment before belatedly realizing the meaning behind Yu Zhun’s words. He laughed angrily, his eyes filled with cold killing intent.

"Further words are useless, just die!"

The moment the words fell, Motuo's spear thrust out fiercely, and the entire world trembled violently under this terrifying power. Large swathes of void collapsed, as if unable to withstand the power and on the verge of collapse.

This astonishing power has reached the limits of the world.

"Hermod!" Yu Zhun suddenly shouted.

The next instant, another figure, also ten thousand meters tall, quietly gathered.

The moment it appeared, it pounced and embraced the demon controlled by Motuo, and golden holy fire shot into the sky, igniting both of them at the same time.

"what!!!!"

A bloodcurdling scream escaped Mo Tuo's lips as his newly solidified demonic body was completely engulfed in holy fire, burning endlessly.

"Whoo~"

Helmod controlled the True Demons of the God of Slaughter to retreat several steps. In a brief moment, the True Demons, which had just taken shape, showed signs of collapsing.

That was the backlash from the sacred flame.

"I've done my best. It's up to you now."

The moment the words fell, the true demons of the God of Slaughter vanished, and familiar figures were sent flying backward, suffering a strong backlash from the formation.

"Don't worry." Yu Zhun took a deep breath, and the dagger in his hand quietly disappeared, replaced by Udir's longbow.

He casually drew his bow and nocked an arrow, the sharp arrow aimed directly at the demon in the fire.

Then, the strings were released.

"Pfft-"

With the sound of an arrow piercing flesh, the demon's struggle came to a complete halt. In the instant kill, everything turned to ashes.

Reaching out, Yu Zhun grabbed the third fragment of the Heavenly Demon Battle Formation and the now-dimmed Soul-Severing Dragon Scissors, then looked at the empty battlefield.

"You shouldn't have..."

"The true demon should not be transformed into a celestial demon."

Without a doubt, the Demon Lord Changxuan knew that the Killing God Clan possessed the means to restrain the Heavenly Demons, and faced with the threat of death, he would definitely tell Motuo.

However, because of Yu Zhun's previous act of disguising himself as "Shatu" to ask Motuo for a position, a deeper rift had already developed between the two. Therefore, Motuo would only think that Changxuan Demon Lord intended to use the entire Jiaojian Heavenly Demon Clan as a pledge of allegiance to join the Killing God Clan, and that he was deliberately spreading rumors to mislead the public.

Therefore, he could not possibly believe what the Demon Lord Changxuan said.

The Jiaojian Heavenly Demon Clan thus met their demise.

Yu Zhun shook his head slightly, focusing his attention on the Soul-Severing Dragon Scissors in his hand, a smile appearing on his face.

This weapon, one of the Eight Treasures capable of defeating an opponent and annihilating all of them, is a perfect match for his one-hit kill talent.
