I bear witness to immortality in the human world.

Chapter 244 Slaying the Demon Emperor
On the city gate.

Wu Ming stood alone, wielding six swords, to resist the three-headed, seventh-tier demon emperor.

His eyes were calm and still, but a slight ripple was stirring in his heart.

"With just the power of six swords, it already possesses such strength. If it were to unleash the full power of nine swords, it would probably approach the level of a 'peerless' grandmaster."

Wu Ming did not actually intend to reveal too many of his abilities in this battle of the abyss. After all, he had only recently broken through to the seventh level of cultivation, and revealing too many powerful abilities would be too dazzling and not conducive to his peaceful cultivation. However, due to the frequent unexpected events and the fact that a demon was launching a killing scheme against him, he had no choice but to use some means to resist.

The fact that he has now unleashed the power of these six swords and activated a perfect-level formation to hold off three top-tier seventh-order demon emperors single-handedly is already astonishing enough. It is foreseeable that after this battle, his reputation will spread throughout the entire holy land!
"A cunning human!"

"There are actually such methods..."

The three top-tier seventh-order demon emperors were all unexpectedly blocked by Wu Ming's sword formation. They all showed expressions of shock and anger, knowing that the killing scheme against Wu Ming had failed.

But the more this is the case, the more terrifying Wu Ming's talent is revealed. He is definitely a top genius among humans. The ranking of Wu Ming should not be 30th, but should be in the top three or even first place!
"kill him."

The eighth-tier demon lord who was locked in battle with Qinglan in the sky was also shocked by Wu Ming's strength and methods. However, he quickly suppressed his shock, spoke in a deep voice, and directly gave orders to the demons below.

Although the assassination attempt failed, the current situation remains unclear. Given Wu Ming's remarkable talent and abilities, it is all the more important to eliminate him. It is a pity that we did not know beforehand that Wu Ming's strength was so astonishing. Otherwise, we should have placed even greater emphasis on Wu Ming and sent several more top-tier Demon Emperors, or even had a Demon Lord personally take action.

"The Demon Weapon Transforms a Thousand Times!"

"Demon Soul Piercer!"

"The Demonic Clouds Vanish!"

The three top-tier Demon Emperors, having failed in their assassination attempt, were now filled with murderous intent. The faces within the demonic shadows looked at Wu Ming with even more ferocious and malevolent eyes, and almost instantly, each unleashed their strongest techniques!

As seventh-tier demon emperors of the abyss, they are among the top beings, and naturally each has its own killing moves.

boom!
One of the demonic figures unleashed a magnificent demonic aura, causing the surrounding demonic energy to surge like a torrent, frantically condensing in the void and transforming into countless pitch-black demonic weapons, emanating an ominous aura. Under its control, these weapons poured down upon Wu Ming like a violent storm.

Wu Ming remained expressionless and made no extra movements. With a mere thought, six flying swords soared into the sky, intertwining to form a sword array that collided with the overwhelming demonic soldiers, shattering them one by one.

hum.

At the same time, the demonic figure in the center suddenly became transparent, and an indescribable power surged up. As if it were nothing, it instantly passed through the sword formation and directly pierced Wu Ming's primordial spirit!
This is a killing move targeting the primordial spirit and soul; it is a pure divine soul secret technique!

Faced with this deadly move, Wu Ming didn't pay much attention. Instead, he closed his eyes and made a hand seal with his right hand.

Sizzle.

What struck his primordial spirit was a phantom of light and shadow, which condensed into a cone-shaped form and crashed into his primordial spirit. However, just as it touched the edge of his primordial spirit, it first collided with a golden light curtain.

That was the Guardian Spirit Treasure, the Golden Source Soul Jade, which had been hidden deep within Wu Ming's primordial spirit. Now that Wu Ming's primordial spirit was attacked, it silently emerged and instantly reduced the power of this divine soul technique by more than half.

The remaining power barely managed to penetrate the depths of Wu Ming's soul, but what it encountered was a divine Buddha phantom sitting cross-legged, seemingly reaching the heavens and the earth. This divine Buddha phantom had indifferent eyes, gently clasped its hands together, and then everything fell into darkness.

"Ahhhhh!!"

The moment the divine soul technique was completely destroyed, the demon emperor in the center suddenly let out a painful howl. Its manifested demonic shadow, which had been solidified, suddenly collapsed and disintegrated, seemingly unable to even maintain its form for a moment.

The Divine Soul Secret Technique targets the primordial spirit and soul, without involving any material aspect. It is an extremely dangerous method that is difficult for ordinary people to resist. However, this technique also has its drawbacks, namely, once it is blocked by the opponent, it will inevitably cause a backlash!

What's terrifying is that Wu Ming's attack not only blocked it, but also crushed it, causing an even greater backlash that directly inflicted unimaginable damage on the Demon Emperor!
It's too late, but it's soon.

The two demon emperors who controlled the Thousand Blade Demon Weapon and the Divine Soul Secret Technique launched their attacks on Wu Ming simultaneously. However, the attack of the third demon emperor was slightly delayed. Its manifested demonic form faded into nothingness. After a brief pause, it suddenly flashed out of the demonic cloud and crossed the sword formation, arriving behind Wu Ming!

All of this happened incredibly fast. Almost the instant after Wu Ming closed his eyes and defeated the second Demon Emperor's soul technique, it manifested behind Wu Ming. Its right arm solidified from the illusory into a dark demonic hand, reaching directly for Wu Ming's back, intending to pierce through his chest from behind and shatter his heart!

But Wu Ming seemed to have anticipated all of this.

Although his eyes were closed, his movements did not stop at all. He curled up two fingers of his right hand and pointed them backward.

If he were to manipulate nine flying swords and unleash the Nine Swords Killing Formation, he would have to exert all his strength, leaving his primordial spirit with no energy left to resist other methods. However, even when he only released six swords, Wu Ming's primordial spirit still had some energy left.

boom! !

Just as Wu Ming's two fingers were about to touch the dark demonic hand, a spark of lightning burst forth from Wu Ming's fingertips, instantly transforming into a blazing bolt of lightning that struck out and engulfed the dark demonic hand.

The power of thunder clashed violently with the pitch-black demonic hand, producing a hissing sound. The thunderous light could be seen being constantly suppressed and dissipated by the demonic hand, but at the same time, the color of the demonic hand was also rapidly fading from its pitch-black state.

finally,
When the thunder completely dissipated, the dark demonic hand also vanished into thin air.

After withstanding the attack of the third Demon Emperor, Wu Ming did not pause at all. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly leaped out, directly rushing towards the second Demon Emperor who was severely injured because he had broken the Divine Soul Secret Technique!
"Uh-huh..."

The demon emperor emitted a strange sound, neither a roar nor a sound like the clash of metal, unlike any human voice.

Its divine soul technique was shattered by Wu Ming, and it suffered severe damage. At this moment, it was even difficult to gather its own power and control the surrounding demonic energy. However, with the support of the demonic tide, its strength had reached the top of the seventh rank. Under this state, it could still barely squeeze out a bit of remaining strength.

Although the situation was extremely bad, it was not very panicked, because it was already at the seventh level. It was easy to be injured but difficult to die. Even if Wu Ming's sword formation and lightning magic hit it, it would not die on the spot. Moreover, Wu Ming was controlling the sword formation and was also restrained, so he had very little strength left. Even if he rushed towards it, what could he do?
Splat! Splat! !
To its surprise, the moment Wu Ming rushed over, lightning erupted around him, enveloping his entire body; it was a single and pure Heavenly Gang Thunder Element Dharma Form.

Although the Thunder Origin Dharma Form is a top-tier Dharma Form, Wu Ming has not yet cultivated it to the higher level corresponding to the Seven Refinements of the Primordial Spirit. When used alone, its pressure is not very strong. However, the Demon Emperor, who was severely injured, was in even worse condition. Even with all his strength, he could only mobilize a barely condensed demonic shadow.

Boom. Wu Ming controlled the Thunder Essence Dharma Form with the aim of achieving ultimate speed. With this charge, relying on the power of the Thunder Essence Dharma Form, he forcefully dispersed the demonic shadows that were blocking his way and arrived in front of the Demon Emperor.

Then he raised his right arm, which was wrapped in the thunderous light of the Dharma image, and thrust it forward.

In this hasty situation, and under various constraints, his attack, launched by the Thunder Origin Dharma Form, was extremely difficult, and the lightning on that thunderous hand appeared somewhat dim.

"Heh heh... With this little strength, you think you can kill..."

The demon emperor sensed the power of Wu Ming's thunderous hand that had been seized. Although its form was still in a state of disintegration and unable to regroup and retreat, it was not flustered at all. It even spoke to Wu Ming with a hint of mockery in its voice.

However, just as Wu Ming's thunderous hand seized its body in an instant...

Its voice stopped abruptly.

At the center where the demonic energy gathered, the face that was barely formed instantly revealed an expression of utter horror and fear, as if it had sensed some terrifying power.

Swish.

No unusual fluctuations spread out.

All that could be seen was that the disintegrating demonic shadow of this top-tier seventh-order Demon Emperor was captured by Wu Ming's Thunder Element Dharma Image with a thunderous hand, then suddenly gathered and suppressed in his palm. Then, the light of thunder suddenly intensified, dazzling and radiant.

After the lightning dissipated, the aura of this demon emperor had vanished without a trace, his body and soul annihilated!

"This is impossible!"

The two Demon Emperors watched this scene with utter disbelief.

Wu Ming's strength was indeed astonishingly strong, beyond expectations, and their companions were indeed severely injured due to the backlash of the divine soul secret technique. But even so, it was too unbelievable that they were directly obliterated after being captured by Wu Ming's Thunder Yuan Dharma Form!

"..."

Wu Ming remained silent. Since he had been forced to make a move and revealed his perfect-level formation, killing a Demon Emperor was nothing. Now, as he manipulated his Dharma body and regained his senses, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

With a thought, he summoned six flying swords that crisscrossed and directly enveloped the demon emperor he was facing head-on!
Simultaneously,

Wu Ming's main body then rode the Thunder Element Dharma Form, charging towards the remaining Demon Emperor.

The Thunder Element Dharma Form alone is not powerful enough, but by relying on the Thunder Element Dharma Form and continuously releasing the Divine Firmament Thunder Technique, it managed to entangle the Demon Emperor.

The power of the Six Swords Killing Formation was equally astonishing. After trapping a demon emperor within it, it clearly gained an absolute advantage, heavily suppressing the demon emperor and making it difficult for it to break free.

As for Wu Ming's main body, although he didn't have the upper hand in the fight against the third Demon Emperor, he was still able to handle it with ease and keep it occupied. It can be said that his plan was very clear from the beginning.

Defeat them one by one!

The second Demon Emperor was the most severely injured, but because there were still two other Demon Emperors holding it back, it was also the most difficult to kill. Therefore, Wu Ming did not hesitate much. He pretended to capture it with his Thunderous Hand, but actually contacted it with his primordial spirit. Since his primordial spirit directly contacted the demon's body, he could defeat it directly without having to summon the projection of the Demon Suppression Disc.

In any case, he had already revealed the Golden Origin Soul Jade, a primordial spirit protective treasure. From the outside, it appeared that he relied on the Golden Origin Soul Jade to directly suppress and kill the severely injured Demon Emperor on the spot.

Although this primordial spirit treasure is of extraordinary value and its exposure may cause some trouble, given his current realm, strength, and status, he is qualified to possess such a treasure.

With one of the three demon kings gone, only two remain, making them much easier to deal with. With his current abilities, Wu Ming can handle them with ease, and he plans to keep at least one of the two remaining!
"Damn it!"

"This person also possesses a primordial spirit guarding a spiritual treasure!"

The eighth-tier demon lord who was locked in battle with Qinglan above the city gate saw the sudden change in the battle below, and his dark eyes revealed an extremely gloomy look.

He was an eighth-order demon lord, a grandmaster of Daoist arts comparable to the eighth level of the human race's primordial spirit refinement. Although it was difficult for ordinary people to see clearly when Wu Ming resisted the primordial spirit secret technique, he still vaguely sensed some traces and could tell that Wu Ming must have a primordial spirit protection spiritual treasure on him, and the quality was not low, possibly even reaching the level of a mid-grade spiritual treasure!

Otherwise, no matter how powerful Wu Ming's primordial spirit was, it wouldn't have been able to so easily defeat the divine soul secret technique 'Demon Soul Thorn' used by its subordinate, causing it to suffer the most severe backlash and be directly and severely injured!

This is undoubtedly yet another unexpected situation.

As for Wu Ming's subsequent ruthless attack that killed the severely injured Demon Emperor, it was not surprising. After all, Wu Ming possessed a very precious 'Primordial Spirit Guardian Treasure', the effects of which were unknown. His ability to kill the Demon Emperor in an instant was most likely due to the power of this treasure.

With his own immense strength and possession of a primordial spirit protective treasure, let alone the attack of three seventh-order demon emperors, even an ordinary eighth-order demon lord would find it difficult to kill Wu Ming in just a few moves.

Obviously,

The plan to kill Wu Ming has completely failed.

At this very moment, opposite him, Qinglan was also paying attention to Wu Ming's situation, her eyes also showing a hint of something different.

"A spirit-protecting treasure... was it bestowed by Master? Hmm, not surprising at all."

The value of a spirit-guarding treasure is far greater than that of an ordinary spirit treasure. Even he only has one low-grade one. The trace that Wu Ming glimpsed just now seemed to be of a higher quality than the one he possessed.

For a cultivator at the seventh level of cultivation, possessing such a precious primordial spirit protective treasure is indeed rare. However, given Wu Ming's monstrous talent, it's quite normal for the Azure Nether Peak Master to bestow one upon him as a protective treasure.
