Born Sacred

Chapter 225: Fighting Demon Lord!

At the peak of Heaven Pillar Mountain, a tall figure slowly rose to his feet.

Although his title contained the word "Demon," the Demon Lord was not some monstrous creature. He looked very similar to a human, possessing a tall and muscular body that stood nearly three meters high. Long strands of sinister purple hair hung down his back.

"Finally, a worthy opponent has arrived."

A fierce fighting spirit ignited within the Demon Lord’s eyes.

There was no concept of good or evil in his heart. The greatest joy in his life was battle itself.

To experience the thrill of combat, he was even willing to give his enemies time to grow stronger.

"Come. Kill me, or be killed by me."

The Demon Lord let out a wild laugh as an incomparably terrifying aura erupted from his body. Heaven Pillar Mountain became the center of a storm of power that spread across the world. At that moment, no matter where they were, everyone could sense the horrifying energy erupting from Heaven Pillar Mountain.

"The battle has begun."

Rose and the others, who had rushed to the edge of the world at their maximum speed, looked toward the anomaly in the sky with eyes filled with horror.

A Sixth Order existence was simply too powerful.

[Extraterrestrial Demon Lord (Elite)]

[Rank: Sixth Order]

[Attributes: Strength 93.12 million, Agility 87.65 million, Constitution 90.36 million, Spirit 96.68 million]

[Skills: Ten Thousand Demons Devouring Heart Lv.3...]

[Cultivation Technique: Demonic Scripture (Perfected)]

[Weapon: Thousand Soul Spear...]

Looking at the detailed attributes revealed through Insight, Noah could not help but feel shocked.

The Demon Lord truly possessed an Elite template. His attributes were terrifyingly high, nearing the very limit of the Sixth Order and surpassing Noah’s by nearly eight or nine times.

He possessed a full set of max-level Perfect-grade skills. Ten Thousand Demons Devouring Heart was even an Epic-grade skill. The Thousand Soul Spear was likewise an Epic-grade weapon. Although the Demonic Scripture was not an Earth-grade cultivation technique, it was still a top-tier cultivation technique that had been cultivated to the perfected realm.

"We have to finish this quickly."

A sharp light flashed through Noah’s eyes.

If this battle dragged on for too long, the entire world could be destroyed along with them.

Noah did not care much about the lives of NPCs, but if possible, he still hoped to clear the instance together with Rose and the others.

"Destruction Form."

Noah activated the Destruction Form without hesitation, and terrifying crimson flames instantly engulfed the sky, clearly visible even from hundreds or thousands of kilometers away.

After activating the Destruction Form, Noah quickly sensed the difference compared to before.

Previously, the power unleashed by the Destruction Form was far too terrifying, greatly exceeding the limits of what he could control. Because of this, he could not sustain it for long before his body began to collapse.

However, after his body initially awakened the Innate Dao Body, Noah’s physical strength had far surpassed what it once was. At the same time, the power of the Great Dao within him greatly reduced the damage caused by overwhelming force and could even repair his injuries.

Not only that, but the power of the Great Dao continuously surged into his body from the surrounding world, replenishing his energy consumption.

Although The Innate Dao Body had only partially awakened, and the replenishment still could not fully keep up with the consumption, it was enough to allow the Destruction Form to last far longer than before.

Originally, Noah had though that with the eruption of an even more powerful Destruction Form, the amount of time he could maintain it would become even shorter, perhaps not even lasting three seconds.

But now, it seemed he could actually maintain the Destruction Form for over a minute.

Noah was somewhat speechless.

The extended duration of the Destruction Form was not what he truly wanted. Only while in the Absolute Defense state could he attack without any reservations.

Immediately, he controlled his body and isolated the influx of the Great Dao’s power from the outside world.

The so-called Great Dao was neither Heaven’s Path nor the world’s will. It was the collection of rules and laws governing the operation of the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, existing across all time, space, and worlds, even within dungeons.

The Innate Dao Body existed in harmony with the Great Dao and would automatically absorb the power of the Great Dao from the surrounding world. However, under Noah’s control, that connection could also be severed.

The moment Noah isolated the power of the Great Dao, the duration of the Destruction Form immediately plummeted, and his body quickly emitted sounds of strain, as though it were on the verge of collapse.

Right after that, Noah activated Bloodline Liberation once more.

An even greater power surged through his body, allowing him to complete a cycle of death and resurrection in just over ten seconds.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. The real battle begins now," Noah said with a smile.

During those ten-plus seconds, the Demon Lord had remained motionless, making no attempt to attack. He simply watched the terrifying power surging from Noah, his face filled only with surprise and anticipation.

"A hundred years of waiting has finally borne brilliant fruit. You have not disappointed me."

"Let us fight to our hearts’ content!"

The Demon Lord burst into hearty laughter as a five-meter-long black spear appeared in his hand. Chilling winds swirled around the shaft, entwined with countless vengeful spirits. Then, unimaginable black light erupted from the Demon Lord’s body, filling the sky and colliding violently with the crimson flames surging from Noah.

Heaven Pillar Mountain beneath their feet was instantly destroyed, reduced to dust.

The powers of the two clashed violently, tearing open pitch-black fissures across the sky. Everything on the ground was flattened, and below them, a massive crater rapidly formed and continued expanding outward.

"Boom!"

A terrifying wave of power swept across the land, automatically activating the Holy Land’s protective array and blocking the destructive aftermath spreading from Heaven Pillar Mountain.
