Chapter 668: Really Not Going to Tell?
BOOM!
Thunder roared, shaking the heavens. The thick clouds parted as if a gigantic vortex had formed, from which pitch-black lightning, like a dark demon dragon, flew out!
In an instant, the earth trembled and the sky shook. Winds gusted and clouds surged, creating a scene akin to the end of the world. This caused the entirety of Ting Lake, for sixty miles around, to boil, even forming water pillars that rose into the sky!
The thunder and water clashed, turning into pitch-black electrified water that spread in all directions, enveloping Qin Heng!
"Die! Die! Die!!"
Zhao Yuyang bellowed furiously, his voice thunderous. He spread his arms, controlled the Heaven and Earth Laws, unleashed his True Qi, and launched a fierce attack on Qin Heng and the others.
His savagery was simply inhuman, like a mad demon!
On the shore of Ting Lake, Xue Shuang and the others were scared stiff, watching the incredible phenomena before them with disbelief, almost thinking they were dreaming!
Terrifying! Truly, far too terrifying! Is this really power humans can possess? So incredibly strong!
"Am I... am I dreaming?!"
Chen Fang was utterly shocked. His eyes widened, and his body trembled in fear. All his fiery passion had been extinguished, leaving only a strong desire to survive.
Now he finally understood that what Qian Gang had said indeed made a lot of sense.
"So strong... far too strong! This is beyond the level of a Grandmaster of Transcendence," Qian Gang said, his face etched with disbelief. He had once seen a Grandmaster of Transcendence in action and had thought *that* to be superhuman!
Only now did he truly understand what Immortal techniques were!
Xue Shuang felt her entire body tremble. Is this world really about to be turned upside down? She had heard Xue Qinan speak of such things before but hadn't paid much attention.
Now, witnessing this unbelievable scene with her own eyes, she truly realized how real Xue Qinan's words had been!
But that figure... why does it look a bit like Qin Heng? Xue Shuang gazed from afar at the silhouette facing the pitch-black lightning, and inexplicably, the young man from Tianhai came to her mind.
No, this is impossible! The strength Qin Heng has shown should only be Half-Step Transcendence, at most the level of a Grandmaster of Transcendence. How could he be this powerful?!
「At this time, in the sky above the center of Ting Lake.」
The entire Ting Lake Mountain Villa had collapsed, and even the island in the lake had mostly crumbled. Qin Heng stood in the sky, hands clasped behind his back, with Nie Rongrong, Shi Yiguang, and Xue Qinan behind him.
BOOM!
With a sweep of his sleeve, Qin Heng instantly scattered the pitch-black lightning dragon. He looked at Zhao Yuyang with an indifferent gaze and said, "So, you're a Thunder Fiend True Demon. What brings you to the human realm?"
"A demon! It really is a demon from the Nine Nether Demon Domain!" Shi Yiguang's delicate body trembled slightly. Fear flickered in her eyes, and her expression was one of extreme worry.
Coming from Mount Tu, she knew a few things about the Nine Nether Demon Domain. She understood very well that if the Demon Domain truly invaded the human realm, humanity's current power would be utterly insufficient; they would be mere lambs to the slaughter!
"HAHAHA! Qin Xuantian, you actually know about the Nine Nether Demon Domain!" Zhao Yuyang laughed heartily, looking at Qin Heng with some admiration. "For a human, your strength isn't bad. Are you interested in becoming my Servant?"
By this time, his appearance had changed drastically. He was nearly three meters tall, with pitch-black eyes. The skin on his face and arms was covered in hard, black scales, and two black horns, each nearly half a meter long, now grew from his head!
He was barely recognizable as humanoid; no longer human in appearance, he was a demon!
"You ant-like creature, what do you think you are?" Qin Heng chuckled lightly. He raised his finger and tapped gently, causing the space before him to ripple like water!
BOOM!
Zhao Yuyang's right arm exploded into countless pieces in mid-air, the fragments falling into Ting Lake below. His demonic flesh was exceedingly filthy. The moment it touched the lake water, it transformed into clumps of black mud that sank to the bottom, turning large swathes of the lake black.
"Interesting." Zhao Yuyang, however, was not angered. He simply shook his shoulder, instantly regrowing his arm, and chuckled, "Qin Xuantian, your strength is not weak. Unfortunately, you cannot kill me."
"Qin Xuantian, give up." Just then, Book Saint Zhao Guanlan also flew over and said, "Teacher possesses the Indestructible Body of a True Demon. Unless a Great Saint intervenes, it's impossible for him to suffer a fatal injury."
"Who gave you permission to speak?"
Zhao Yuyang's brow furrowed. He glared at Zhao Guanlan, then reached out, ripped off one of Zhao Guanlan's arms, and, blood dripping, tossed it into his mouth. He began to crunch and chew. "Dare to spout nonsense again," he growled, "and I'll devour you whole right now!"
A Great Saint!? Only a Great Saint could possibly kill him!? How could a Great Saint possibly exist on Earth now!
Both Xue Qinan and Shi Yiguang were well aware of Earth's current situation. In this era of declining Spiritual Energy and dormant supernatural phenomena, let alone Great Saints, even Saints were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
It was impossible to find a Great Saint to kill Zhao Yuyang at this time.
"You're not the first demon I've encountered." Qin Heng's expression remained calm, showing no significant change. He spoke evenly, "What does the Nine Nether Demon Domain intend to do?"
The revival of Spiritual Energy was drawing near, and secret realms of space and time were beginning to open. This was undoubtedly a critical moment: Spiritual Energy was resurging, the supernatural was reappearing, and the Laws were reawakening. The demon race, which had vanished from the human world for countless eons, was suddenly appearing with increasing frequency.
How could this be mere coincidence?!
"A lowly insect like you wants to pry into the plans of the demon race?" Zhao Yuyang burst out laughing, clutching his stomach. "Humans are far too weak, fit only to be food for demons! I'm simply here to forage. What plans could I possibly have?"
Qin Heng frowned, his eyes narrowing as he stared at Zhao Yuyang. "You won't talk?" he pressed. "Are you sure?"
"What can you do to me?" Zhao Yuyang sneered. "Insignificant insect, your strength indeed surpasses mine, but the very essence of our demon race is far superior to that of you lowly humans. You are not a Great Saint, so you cannot kill me!"
"Fine, no need to say anything more!" Qin Heng sneered coldly. Suddenly, he snapped the fingers of his right hand!
SNAP!
With that crisp sound, the world, already dim to the extreme, suddenly blazed with light. It was as if a sun had fallen from the heavens onto Ting Lake, instantly dispersing all darkness and Demonic Qi!
"What is this?!" Zhao Yuyang was stunned for a moment, then his expression twisted into one of utter horror. He shrieked, "The Fire of Sun God?!"
He instantly transformed into a streak of pitch-black light, speeding towards the horizon in an attempt to flee!
The Fire of Sun God was one of the natural banes of the demon race!
"Why such a hurry?" an indifferent voice sounded, tinged with mockery.
To Zhao Yuyang's ears, however, the voice boomed like thunder, bringing with it an overwhelming sense of crisis!
Zhao Yuyang looked up and was shocked to find Qin Heng had appeared right in front of him, though he had no idea when!
Damn it!!! He hadn't noticed Qin Heng's movement at all! So fast! Impossibly fast!!
"Get back!" Qin Heng said indifferently. He raised his hand and slapped, sending Zhao Yuyang hurtling back to his original position!
「At the same time!」
The Fire of Sun God descended, landing directly upon the body of Zhao Yuyang, this Nine Nether Evil Demon!
"AAAAH!" A scream of agony tore through the air!
This powerful evil demon, who claimed to possess the Indestructible Body of a True Demon, let out a cry of excruciating torment!
Under the scorching heat of the Fire of Sun God, his body began to shrink. Black scales flaked off, falling into Ting Lake below. Then, his flesh started to dissolve, and even his bones began to melt!
Like snow meeting boiling water, it seemed he would turn into a puddle of vile fluid in the blink of an eye!
Crushing!
Absolute, utter crushing!
Zhao Guanlan, standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded, horrified beyond words.
