Chapter 413: Extraterrestrial Demon
Thus, the once-renowned and powerful patriarch of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect perished on the spot! Immediately afterward, Xu Nian slightly raised his head and, in a voice as resounding and majestic as divine thunder descending from the heavens, slowly proclaimed: "Ten Thousand Demons Sect, annihilated!" These three simple words, like the grandest bells, echoed endlessly throughout the vast expanse of heaven and earth, reverberating throughout the universe…
Xu Nian stood silently in the void, like an unshakeable mountain. His deep eyes gazed down upon the vast earth, as if taking in all things in the world. Although his voice was not loud, it was like a thunderclap, reaching the ears of everyone present with crystal clarity. Everyone felt a sudden tremor in their hearts, and an indescribable fear spread rapidly like a tidal wave.
The disciples of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect stared wide-eyed in horror at the scene before them. Their ancestor, whom they had once revered as a god and considered invincible, was now so utterly vulnerable before Xu Nian, easily slain. In that instant, their faith crumbled, and fear gripped their very being.
"Run!" Someone cried out in despair. In an instant, all the disciples of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect awoke as if from a dream, scattering in panic. They wished they could grow wings and escape this terrifying place, far away from that terrifying man who seemed like a demon god descended to earth—Xu Nian.
However, Xu Nian gave them no chance to escape. He expressionlessly raised his palm and slammed it down downwards. The palm strike whistled past, creating a fierce gust of wind. Many of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect's protectors didn't even have time to react before they were killed instantly, their blood splattering across the sky.
Xu Nian slowly withdrew his palm, and the ninefold Dao essence light shimmering in his palm gradually dimmed. With this palm strike, the once renowned Ten Thousand Demons Sect was reduced to ashes and completely wiped off this vast continent.
The once bustling valley was now deathly silent. Countless corpses and severed limbs lay scattered across the ground, blood staining vast swaths of earth, and the air thick with the pungent, acrid smell of blood. These remains silently testified to the harrowing, horrific battle that had just taken place.
The heavy stench of blood that filled the air seemed to transform into a ferocious beast, baring its fangs and claws as it lunged at people. The pungent smell made people's stomachs churn and almost made them vomit.
“It’s over…” Xu Nian’s face was as pale as paper, his lips trembling slightly as he murmured to himself. His once bright and spirited eyes had lost their luster, becoming dull and lifeless, as he stared blankly ahead. His gaze slowly moved, finally settling on the spatial rift where the Heavenly Demon had appeared earlier.
The crack, resembling an ugly scar, stretched across the void. Although it had shrunk considerably, wisps of black demonic energy still seeped out from it, like venomous snakes flicking their tongues, waiting for their chance to strike.
“There…” Xu Nian frowned slightly, a deep “川” character forming between his brows. An indescribable sense of unease welled up in his heart. He vaguely felt that behind this seemingly calm crack, something unknown and dangerous seemed to be lurking.
A strong sense of unease swept over him instantly, like a surging wave crashing against Xu Nian's mental defenses. "Could it be..." A terrifying thought suddenly flashed through Xu Nian's mind, and he couldn't help but gasp.
"Could it be that there is an even more powerful Heavenly Demon hiding behind that rift, waiting for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow?" Once this thought surfaced, it grew wildly in Xu Nian's mind like weeds. In an instant, he felt a chill run down his back, and cold sweat poured down his back.
However, the brief fear did not deter Xu Nian. On the contrary, he took a deep breath, calmed himself, and thought to himself, "No, if I don't find out what's hidden behind this crack, the consequences will be unimaginable!" So, after a fierce internal struggle, Xu Nian finally made up his mind to find out.
"Go take a look!" With a low shout, Xu Nian's figure suddenly transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards the spatial rift with lightning speed.
The surrounding scenery rushed past him, blurring into a colorful phantom in the blink of an eye. The wind howled past his ears like the mournful howls of countless vengeful spirits. But Xu Nian paid no heed to any of this; his eyes were fixed only on the ever-approaching spatial rift.
Before long, Xu Nian arrived at the spatial rift. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the rift was far larger and deeper than he had imagined. It was pitch black inside, like a bottomless abyss, exuding an aura of endless mystery and terror.
Suddenly, a surging, even more concentrated demonic energy swept in like a tidal wave, carrying boundless pressure and a chilling aura, heading straight for Xu Nian. In an instant, Xu Nian's expression darkened slightly, his previously relaxed demeanor instantly turning serious. This mere demonic energy gave him a strong premonition—the secret hidden behind this crack was likely far beyond his previous imagination.
However, despite his initial apprehension, Xu Nian showed no sign of backing down. He took a deep breath, as if gathering all his courage and determination. Then, a resolute glint flashed in his eyes, as dazzling and unwavering as a shooting star streaking across the night sky.
Without hesitation, Xu Nian extended his right hand, cautiously yet resolutely reaching towards the mysterious spatial rift. Just as his fingertips touched the edge of the rift, an irresistible and powerful suction force suddenly erupted from the depths of the rift! This suction force was like an invisible giant hand, tightly gripping Xu Nian's arm and dragging him into the rift with lightning speed.
Xu Nian's body completely lost control, involuntarily drawn closer to the rift by the powerful suction. At the same time, the space around the rift seemed to be impacted by a tremendous force, violently distorting and deforming. Black spatial cracks appeared out of thin air, accompanied by ear-piercing tearing sounds, sending chills down one's spine.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Nian's figure vanished completely into the slowly closing spatial rift, leaving behind only the rift that was gradually shrinking until it finally closed, and the devastated battlefield all around. This land, which had once witnessed fierce battles, now appeared exceptionally silent and desolate.
When Xu Nian opened her eyes again, she found herself in a completely unfamiliar world—the Outer Heaven Realm. Looking around, the entire world presented a desolate and ruined scene, a scene of bleakness as far as the eye could see. Thick, almost impenetrable demonic energy permeated the air, blotting out the sun and turning the once bright sky into a dark and gloomy one, as if the end of the world had arrived.
On the ground, strangely shaped, jagged rocks are everywhere, some towering into the clouds, others lying horizontally on the ground, giving a ferocious and terrifying feeling. In addition, there are large patches of dried, blackened bloodstains, which have long since congealed and mixed with dust to form shocking dark red patches.
The air was thick with an extremely strong, putrid stench, a pungent and nauseating smell. Xu Nian frowned, suppressing the nausea in her stomach, and surveyed the eerie atmosphere that filled the place before her.
"The demonic energy here is several times denser than I imagined..." Xu Nian muttered to himself, his tone revealing a hint of surprise and wariness. Before he finished speaking, he suddenly took a step forward. As his foot landed, the ground beneath his feet emitted a muffled rumble, as if the earth itself trembled.
"It seems the seal has been completely broken..." he murmured softly, his brows furrowing slightly as he gazed into the distance, revealing an undisguised solemnity.
This was something he hadn't expected at all.
Just then, without warning, a strange commotion suddenly arose ahead. "Hmm?" Xu Nian's heart tightened, and he reflexively looked up, following the sound. In an instant, his pupils contracted sharply—he saw a horde of ferocious, monstrous extraterrestrial demons surging towards him like a tidal wave from the distant horizon. Their blood-red eyes gleamed with a chilling, bloodthirsty light, like hungry beasts spotting their prey, baring their fangs and claws as they charged towards Xu Nian, eager to devour him alive and tear him to pieces.
Facing the menacing horde of extraterrestrial demons, Xu Nian merely snorted coldly, his face showing not a trace of fear, but rather a hint of disdain. Then, without hesitation, he took a step forward. His figure vanished like a ghost in the blink of an eye. The next moment, he stood firmly before the group of extraterrestrial demons.
"Die!" Xu Nian uttered a single word, his voice icy and chilling, like a death knell from the deepest hell. At the same time, he swung his right arm violently, his fist unleashing a torrent of power. In an instant, a dazzling golden light burst forth from his fist, like a golden sun rising, illuminating the entire world.
A deafening roar resounded, echoing through the heavens. The golden light, with overwhelming force, slammed into the group of extraterrestrial demons. Under this terrifying attack, the once-aggressive extraterrestrial demons didn't even have time to utter a scream before they were instantly reduced to ashes, completely vanishing without a trace, leaving not even a speck of dust behind.
Xu Nian slowly withdrew his fist, his face expressionless as he surveyed his surroundings. At this moment, this already desolate region was shrouded in an intensely dense black demonic aura, churning and surging, obscuring the sky and the sun, resembling a terrifying hellish scene.
However, just as Xu Nian was about to continue forward, a sudden, alarming premonition struck him. An extremely strong sense of danger welled up within him. "Hmm?" Xu Nian frowned again, his keen senses allowing him to detect an extremely powerful aura rapidly approaching. This aura was far more powerful than any of the Heavenly Demons he had encountered before.
The ground suddenly trembled violently, as if a powerful force was surging deep underground. In the distance, a blurry black shadow gradually became clear, slowly revealing its enormous body. Everyone stared intently and couldn't help but gasp—it was a colossal creature hundreds of feet tall!
This colossal creature was entirely covered in a thick layer of black scales, which shimmered with a cold light like stars in the night. Its eyes were like two blazing flames, radiating a chilling, ferocious light. But what was most striking was the enormous black battle axe it gripped tightly in its hand. This battle axe was jet black, its blade incredibly sharp, and the terrifying aura it exuded made it almost impossible to breathe.
The previously arrogant and domineering low-level demons around them now seemed to have encountered their natural enemy. They were all terrified, their faces pale, and they knelt down on the ground, their bodies trembling uncontrollably. Their eyes were filled with deep fear and awe, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads.
"What... what kind of monster is this?" one of the low-level demons cried out in terror, his voice trembling so badly it was almost inaudible.
"What...what a terrifying aura! I feel like I can't breathe!" Another low-level demon echoed, trembling.
Just then, another low-level demon seemed to remember something and was about to speak, but when it saw the fierce gaze cast by the huge figure, it was so frightened that it swallowed back the words it was about to say and dared not utter another sound.
Xu Nian stood not far away, his gaze as bright and fiery as a torch, fixed on the enormous figure. Faced with such a terrifying scene, there was no fear on his face, but rather a faint sense of contempt.
"Hmph, he's just a little stronger than those small fry we encountered before, nothing special," Xu Nian said coldly. His tone was calm, but the disdain he conveyed was obvious.
It turned out that this enormous figure was none other than the leader of the extraterrestrial demon race! It possessed unimaginable strength and a prestigious status. At this moment, upon hearing Xu Nian's impolite words, an uncontrollable rage flashed in its eyes.
"You lowly human, how dare you speak so arrogantly and recklessly to me, the leader! Today I will show you my power!" The leader of the extraterrestrial demons roared, his deafening roar echoing throughout the heavens and earth.
