Chapter 669: 669
"AHHHH!"
Zhao Yuyang's screams were heart-wrenching, filled with intense misery and pain. The demon body, originally over three meters tall, withered rapidly under the flames, resembling dry wood. Within mere seconds, its skeleton was visible!
Horror! It was truly terrifying!!
Now, Zhao Yuyang was as if he had been thrown into the sun's core, the incomparably high temperature scorching him, leaving him utterly powerless to resist!!
How is this possible? He's from the Nine Nether Demon Clan and possesses the True Demon Indestructible Body!!
Zhao Guanlan was utterly shocked. He had clashed with Zhao Yuyang before and had been defeated, so he was keenly aware of Zhao Yuyang's strength! Within the Semi-Saint domain, Zhao Yuyang's power was indeed at its zenith. The advantage of a True Demon-level demon was truly immense, even stronger than some Human Clan Semi-Saints who had cultivated ancient Divine Skills! Moreover, as long as the Demonic Qi persisted, demons were undying! Below the Great Saint, no one could kill him, and in the current mortal world, no such powerful beings existed! That's what Zhao Guanlan had always believed.
But now... what exactly was happening!?
Qin Xuantian had actually trapped Zhao Yuyang in flames in an instant, leaving him no room to resist, only able to endure the scorching fire, screaming continuously in excruciating pain!!
How could this be! How could there be someone so powerful!! And from beginning to end, Qin Xuantian seemed to have merely raised his hand and pointed a finger. How could he be so overwhelmingly strong!? It was inconceivable! Truly inconceivable!!
No! Zhao Yuyang cannot die!! If he dies, I will die as well!
Zhao Guanlan gritted his teeth, his gaze fixed on Qin Heng, a murderous intent flickering in his eyes. He spread his five fingers, and a golden light flashed, revealing a golden book. Its pages turned, revealing dense lines and columns of text!
In an instant, a dazzling golden beam of light burst forth from Zhao Guanlan's hands, shooting into the skies. It actually shattered the sky-obscuring dark fog and even penetrated the dense Fire of Sun God, reaching the firmament above!
"Saintly Arms! The Zhao family's Thousand Character Classic Treasure Weapon!" Xue Qinan exclaimed, her gaze turning to Zhao Guanlan. "Book Saint! Zhao Yuyang is not from the Human Clan. He has occupied your Zhao family for so many years, yet you still help him!?"
"Zhao Yuyang has implanted a Demon Spirit within me. If he dies, my soul will shatter immediately!" Zhao Guanlan shook his head. "Therefore, he cannot die! If he dies, so do I!!"
WHOOSH!!
Zhao Guanlan unfurled the golden book in his palm, which astonishingly transformed in an instant into a scroll over a thousand meters long. The sprawling text upon it, all shimmering with golden light, illuminated all directions!
Heaven and Earth were dark and yellow; the universe was primordial and vast.
The sun waxes and wanes; the stars are spread in array.
...
The Nine Provinces bear Yu's traces; a hundred commanderies were unified by Qin.
Mount Tai is chief of the great mountains; sacrifices were offered at Yun and Ting.
...
The thousand-meter-long golden scroll bore the actual phrases from the Thousand Character Classic, all of them drifting above. Each character resonated with the Heavenly Essence, each as weighty as a mountain! Every character seemed to embody wondrous creation, gathering the fundamental principles of heaven and earth, coalescing into rays of light that overshadowed the sky and, for a moment, even dimmed the brilliance of the Fire of Sun God!
"Qin Xuantian! This is the Thousand Character Classic Treasure Weapon made by my ancestor, a Great Saint! Take this!!" Zhao Guanlan bellowed, unfolding the embryonic form of his Saintly phenomenon and fusing it with the Thousand Character Classic!!
BOOM!!
The world shook. Illusory projections of worlds began to surface around Zhao Guanlan, taking shape. Each stream of light and shadow depicted scenes described within the Thousand Character Classic!! At this moment, Zhao Guanlan seemed to carry the weight of Endless Time and Space, an accumulation of millennia. His aura swelled to an unprecedented degree, his entire being radiating golden light, as if piercing through civilization and spacetime itself!!
Immensely powerful!!
In that instant, Zhao Guanlan's aura seemed to even surpass that of Zhao Yuyang in his previous, unharmed state!!
"Mr. Xuantian! He cannot be matched by force!!" Xue Qinan, seeing this, quickly warned Qin Heng. "Zhao Guanlan has actually merged the embryonic form of his Saintly phenomenon, and even his essence and spirit, with the Saintly Arms! He has managed to unleash nearly seventy to eighty percent of its power!!"
The Golden Book of the Thousand Character Classic was a treasure left by an ancient Great Saint of the Zhao family, equivalent in power to a peak Saint. If seventy to eighty percent of its power could be unleashed, it could crush even a fully-realized Saint!
"Such terrifying Treasure Weapons still exist in the mundane world!!" Shi Yiguang also watched Zhao Guanlan with uncertainty, saying solemnly, "This treasure is too powerful. Qin Xuantian, we should retreat. You surely don't possess any more secret treasures, do you?"
But Qin Heng seemed as if he hadn't heard a thing. His gaze remained fixed on Zhao Yuyang, watching him being scorched by the Fire of Sun God, as if waiting for something, completely deaf to the words of Shi Yiguang and Xue Qinan.
"Qin Heng! What are you doing? Zhao Guanlan is about to attack!!" Nie Rongrong also grew anxious. She could clearly feel how terrifying Zhao Guanlan was now!! It was no exaggeration to say that a mere wisp of his aura could crush an Innate expert!!
「By the shores of Ting Lake.」
Xue Shuang and the others stared blankly at the distant battle, feeling as if they were witnessing an epic clash between gods and demons!! The pitch-black Demonic Qi was melted away by the descending Fire of Sun God. Following that, the Thousand Character Classic manifested corporeally, transforming into golden light and even congealing scene after scene of phantom images that seemed to fill the heavens and earth, beginning to suppress that very sun!!
The terrifying power, merely its overflow, caused Ting Lake—spanning a radius of over two hundred miles—to surge chaotically, and made the land by its shores tremble and crack incessantly!!
"Immortals! They really are Immortals!"
"Old Qian, you were so right! This really isn't something us small-time cops can handle!!" Qian Gang and Chen Fang exclaimed one after another.
Xue Shuang, however, clenched her fists tightly, her eyes fixed on Xue Qinan's figure, her heart filled with anxiety. My God! How can my cousin be there!? No, I have to call for backup!! She immediately dialed the station's phone number, intending to ask the station to contact the military to come and suppress that terrifying demon.
"Qin Xuantian, are you looking down on me!?" Seeing Qin Heng completely ignore him, Zhao Guanlan flew into a rage, shouting, "Had I possessed this treasure two years ago, I would have slain Zhao Yuyang myself! What do you think you are, daring to ignore me!? Die!!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!
The illusory lights and shadows formed by the Thousand Character Classic exploded with thunderous roars. The power contained within them coalesced, astonishingly manifesting into a realm covering a radius of over a hundred miles!! It depicted a world with round heavens and a square earth, complete with mountains, rivers, stars, the sun and moon, and even the teeming multitudes of life, showcasing the vast changes of ages, like seas transforming into mulberry fields!!
It coalesced!
Then!
It pressed down towards Qin Heng! It was as though an entire world had descended from the sky, plummeting towards Qin Heng!!
"My God! Run!!" Xue Qinan's pupils suddenly constricted. Watching this entire world pressing down, she was so frightened her soul nearly scattered!!
"Go!!" Shi Yiguang's expression also changed drastically. The power of this Saintly Arms was far too terrifying!!
Facing such a horrific attack, even she, a Great Saint at her peak, would either die or sustain grave injuries!! Therefore, without a second thought, she immediately grabbed Nie Rongrong's and Qin Heng's arms, intending to transform into a streak of escaping light and flee with them.
If we don't run, we'll surely die! Qin Heng definitely doesn't have the strength to resist!!
But then, Shi Yiguang discovered she couldn't move Qin Heng at all. "What are you doing? Let's go!!"
Qin Heng still stood there, watching Zhao Yuyang being scorched by the Fire of Sun God!
"HAHAHA!!" Zhao Guanlan's laughter rang out, majestic and vast. "Qin Xuantian, you're asking for death! Be reduced to smoke and ashes!!" At that moment, he had merged with the illusory world formed by the Thousand Character Classic. Like the Heavenly Dao itself, he descended from the sky, gazing down upon Qin Heng from his lofty position!
"So noisy!" Qin Heng snorted coldly, furrowing his brow. He didn't even lift his eyelids, nor did he deign to look at the crushing illusory world or Zhao Guanlan. He simply slapped his palm outwards!
BOOM!!
It was as if the heavens themselves shattered. A terrifying hand, covering a radius of two hundred miles, appeared, whipping up endless gales and obscuring the sky. Before the utterly shocked and disbelieving eyes of all present, this hand gently seized the illusory world—forged from Zhao Guanlan's desperate fusion with the Thousand Character Classic—and held it within its grip!
How can this be!? Zhao Guanlan's voice emanated from the illusory world, filled with utter disbelief.
"What would a mere ant like you know?" Qin Heng finally raised his head to glance at the illusory world within the golden light, also seeing Zhao Guanlan hidden inside. He chuckled lightly. "The so-called Saintly Arms, to me, are nothing more than scrap metal."
Then, he extended his right hand, fingers splayed, and suddenly clenched them into a fist!!
"NO, NO, NO!! NO!!" Zhao Guanlan screamed in terror, but he was utterly powerless to stop the colossal hand from clenching!
BANG!
The illusory world exploded into golden dust, ceasing to exist. Even the original Thousand Character Classic Treasure Weapon was reduced to fragments!!
