Journey to the West: Starting with the True Lord of the Pure Land

The giant white axe, enveloped in crimson light, disintegrated like a bubble before the dragon's claws.

The green-skinned demon felt an immense force pressing down on him, and the giant bone axe in his hand flew out of his grasp.

His enormous demonic body crashed to the ground as if struck by a mountain, embedding itself deeply into the hard seabed rock below.

His demonic aura dissipated, and countless bones were broken. He couldn't even struggle before being firmly pinned under the dragon's claws, unable to move.

The smoke and blood slowly settled.

The Xuanjiao coiled above the market, its crimson-gold vertical pupils looking down indifferently. Dark blue lightning patterns flowed around its body. When still, it was like a deep abyss frozen in ice; when it moved, it was like Xuanjiao lightning splitting the sea.

Its dark body stretched like a mountain range, casting a huge shadow that enveloped all the demons.

The demons that were wreaking havoc froze in their movements, their bloodthirsty eyes now filled only with fear and horror.

The two Golden Core demons standing in mid-air trembled, their previous cold and arrogant demeanor vanishing completely.

The ghostly flames in the eyes of the unicorn demon flickered violently, and the gray mist around the bat demon churned erratically, both as if facing a formidable enemy.

Inside Whale Cloud Pavilion.

Jingyun and Xuan Gu Shangren stared through the window at the Xuan Jiao that blotted out the sky and the green-skinned demon that had been slammed into the ground like a dead dog. They were both dumbfounded and speechless for a long time.

The green-skinned demon, slammed into the rock by a claw and unable to move, is now struggling to raise its head, its crimson eyes filled with violence and resentment, and it is letting out a hoarse roar.

He struggled to gather the remaining demonic energy, but it was like being stuck in a quagmire, all in vain.

The black dragon's crimson-gold vertical pupils swept over him indifferently, without any joy or sorrow.

Immediately, the dragon claw pressing down on its body slightly retracted.

"laugh--!"

Within the palm of his claw, a deep, restrained crimson light suddenly shone, and a fierce crimson lightning erupted instantly!

The green-skinned demon sensed this aura, and the ferocity in its eyes instantly turned into fear.

He twisted and turned desperately, trying to break free of his restraints, but he was like a mosquito trapped in amber, struggling in its death throes.

Under the horrified gaze of the demons.

The next moment, countless fine, crimson cracks appeared on his entire body from the inside out.

He opened his mouth, but no sound came out; the light in his eyes dimmed quickly, like a candle flickering in the wind.

Then it quietly collapsed and dissipated like ashes, turning into a wisp of blue smoke that merged into the salty seawater.

All that remained was a charred, deep crater and a faint, acrid smell in the air.

A demon in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm was annihilated, both in body and soul.

The remaining two Golden Core demons, the One-Horned Bone Demon and the Gray Mist Bat Demon, were terrified when they witnessed their companion being so easily and casually killed.

A claw smashed the dust, and then the lightning vanished in the blink of an eye.

The previous sense of relief and solemnity instantly turned into a chilling fear.

The gray mist surrounding the bat demon churned violently, sending a sharp telepathic message to the bone demon:

"What is the origin of this dragon spirit?"

"We've been roaming the Northern Continent for many years, and even those ancient demons might not be as ruthless and decisive as us!"

"How would I know!"

The unicorn-bone demon roared in response.

I originally thought that the three demons working together would be enough to run rampant in this place, and that it wouldn't be impossible to storm into the Flowing Cloud Water Palace.

But they never expected to encounter such an illogical and ominous star.

The unicorn bone demon gritted its teeth, its eerie green flames flickering wildly in its eyes, and roared:

"Attack together! Otherwise, none of us will survive today!"

His entire body, covered in pale white bone armor, suddenly emitted a blinding, eerie light.

Countless ferocious bone spikes grew wildly from the armor, transforming into a pale skeleton, carrying a monstrous death aura, and crashed into the Xuan Jiao.

The bat demon completely merged into the gray fog, which expanded rapidly, instantly covering half of the market. Thousands of vengeful spirits shrieked from within the fog, surging out like a tide.

Faced with this fierce attack, the Xuanjiao suddenly stretched out its coiled body.

It let out a long and powerful roar, its enormous body stirring up towering waves, and instead of retreating, it advanced fiercely to meet the attack head-on.

With a slight sway of its body, the dragon nimbly avoided the head-on collision with the white bones.

A sharp claw shot out, aiming directly at the bone demon's shoulder blade.

At the same time, it opened its mouth and spat out a condensed column of water mixed with fine red lightning bolts, spraying it towards the gray mist that filled the sky.

"Boom!"

The dragon's claws clashed violently with the bone armor, producing a deafening sound like metal striking metal!

The unicorn bone demon grunted and staggered backward.

The bone armor on his shoulder blade exploded with a bang, half of his body was completely shattered, and the eerie light dimmed.

The crimson lightning jet surged into the gray mist, and wherever it passed, the sound waves dissipated, the poisonous mist dissolved, and the painful screams of bat demons echoed from within the gray mist.

The Xuanjiao, having gained the upper hand, pressed its advantage relentlessly. Its tail, like a giant whip reaching to the sky, swept across the battlefield, lashing directly at the churning, gray mist.

The tailwind tore through the seawater, producing a whistling sound.

The bat demon shrieked, and the mist rapidly contracted, narrowly avoiding the dragon's tail.

Yet it was still struck by the edge of the gale, the fog trembled violently, and a painful screech was heard.

Xuanjiao fought two demons single-handedly, attacking them with overwhelming force and suppressing them completely.

The battle lasted only a few rounds.

The gray-mist bat demon was caught off guard and took a powerful swipe of the black dragon's claw.

"ah--!"

A piercing scream rang out from within the gray fog, and then the entire gray fog exploded with a deafening roar.

A bat-like figure stumbled out, half of its wing charred and broken, its aura weakened.

"escape!"

The unicorn bone demon and the bat demon had lost all will to fight; only this one thought remained in their minds.

The two demons moved with remarkable coordination, transforming into streaks of light almost simultaneously, one to the left and one to the right, fleeing towards the outskirts of the market.

The black dragon let out a low roar, like muffled thunder rolling across the seabed.

The enormous dragon's body, like a bolt of black lightning, arrived first despite being behind, blocking the churning gray mist.

A giant claw covered in scales tore through the water, its irresistible force reaching straight into the gray mist.

The gray mist around the bat demon surged violently, transforming into countless hideous ghost faces that lunged at the dragon's claws in an attempt to block it.

At the same time, it opened its mouth and spewed out a beam of dark light, which shot straight at the face of the black dragon.

On the other side, the unicorn bone demon was overjoyed to see that the black dragon was temporarily restrained by its companion, and its speed increased by three points. It was about to rush out of the sea.

However, Xuanjiao seemed to have anticipated this.

It didn't even turn its head; the Crimson Demon Lightning wove into a Crimson True Yang Lightning Spear in its hand.

Its color resembles cinnabar soaked in dark blood, deep and restrained like the edict of the Crimson Emperor.

The Thunder Spear left his hand, transforming into a streak of crimson light, faster than lightning.

The unicorn bone demon felt a sharp pain in its back, which terrified it. It roared and poured all its demonic energy into the thick bone armor on its back.

"Bang!"

A series of rapid, cracking sounds rang out like firecrackers.

The seemingly indestructible pale bone armor of the unicorn bone demon shattered instantly.

He spat out a mouthful of demonic blood and slammed it back into the center of the market, collapsing several coral buildings.

On the front, the Xuanjiao's sharp claws ignored the ghostly faces that were rushing towards it and directly penetrated into the depths of the gray mist.

A piercing scream came from the gray mist, followed by a burst of blood!

When the dragon claw retracted, it was already tightly gripping a struggling black bat with torn wing membranes.

The bat's eyes were filled with despair, and its protective demonic power was being rapidly eroded and worn away by the crimson demonic lightning power contained in the dragon's claws.

The black dragon coldly stared at its prey in its claws, its claws tightening slightly.

"Pfft!"

The bat demon perished.

In the blink of an eye, of the three Golden Core demons, two were dead and one was seriously injured.

The black dragon loosened its claws, letting the bat remains fall.

At this moment, Whale Cloud and Master Xuan Gu had also recovered from their shock.

Seeing the Xuanjiao effortlessly defeat the three Golden Core demons, a surge of pride welled up within him.

They all took action, their water element surging and their profound yin energy spreading, beginning to wipe out the Foundation Establishment demons who had already been terrified and scattered in all directions.

The black dragon slowly contracted amidst the lingering light of lightning, its scales and armor disappearing, its demonic aura receding.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed back into a young man in black robes and with dark hair.

The unicorn bone demon lay limp among the rocks, its breath as faint as a candle flickering in the wind.

As Chen Jiao approached, it struggled to lift its almost shattered head, making a hoarse sound as if trying to say something.

Suddenly his body stiffened, and the last glimmer of light in his eyes vanished instantly.

Immediately afterwards, countless fine, bright cracks, as thin as hair, silently appeared on its body.

Sparkling points of light drifted out from the crack.

Chen Jiao's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately grabbed at the few specks of light, his expression solemn.

In the blink of an eye, the body of this Golden Core demon completely disintegrated and vanished.

Only those strange points of light flickered and danced in the air for a moment before quietly disappearing without a trace.

Chen Jiao gazed intently at the shimmering starlight drifting in his hand, and murmured to himself:

"The power of stars?"
