Chapter 285: Chapter 285 The Death of The Demon Sovereign
The entire Skyfall was silent.
Everyone looked at Daoya’s Old Man’s projection with jaws dropped and eyes wide open. In the projection, Zhou Xuanji stood high in the air, like a deity looking down on the ordinary world. In contrast, Jihuang Demon Lord looked so miserable. He charged toward the sky again and again, but he was struck down every time.
Facing Zhou Xuanji, the world’s second looked so weak.
They felt unreal.
It felt like a dream.
They knew that Zhou Xuanji had grown more powerful, but they did not expect him to be this powerful.
“This guy…”
Daoya Old Man swallowed his saliva and looked with disbelief.
Jiang Xue snorted with a proud look, “Seems like the t.i.tle of the world’s second is going to change owners. ”
The others expressed their excitement as well.
On the other peak.
Xian Xianghua and the 36 Demon Leaders fell into silence.
Compared to Xiao Jinghong, Zhao Congjian, and the others, they felt even more unreal.
Especially Xian Xianghua.
“Although that guy was badly injured, he should still have the peak power of a First Tribulation Scattered Immortal…”
Xian Xianghua mumbled himself. A complicated expression could be seen in her eyes.
She was quite proud of herself.
She was accurate in choosing Zhou Xuanji indeed!
Before Zhou Xuanji grew considerably powerful, she had already kept her eyes on him. If it were now, the brat would be even more unfavorable toward her.
Whenever she thought about this, she felt a little angry.
Amongst all ladies in the entire Northern Wilderness Region, she was the number one regardless of beauty, power, or influence.
Why doesn’t this brat like me?
The more she thought about it, the more angry she got. She swung her sleeve at Qin Zheng and sent him flying off.
Qin Zheng crashed into a gigantic rock. He was totally lost and looked at Xian Xianghua sadly.
The other Demon Leaders shuddered and kept their mouths shut.
On the other side, Jihuang Demon Lord had already fallen dozens of times. His demonic energy was depleting.
He gasped for air in the ruins as he continued to stare fixedly at Zhou Xuanji in rage.
His heart was filled with shock and reluctance.
Why!
Why!
He was the demons’ Sovereign, yet he was pushed to such an extent by a human kid!
The Tianxia Map!
At this moment, he was close to being bewitched. All that he thought about was the Tianxia Map.
“Jihuang Demon Lord, you are the demons’ Sovereign. Your life can be considered as a glorious one. You don’t have to feel sad. It’s not a shame for you to die in my hands. I will surpa.s.s Yang Di in the future and complete your unfinished dream. ”
Zhou Xuanji looked down at him and said coldly.
Actually, Jihuang Demon Lord was really miserable.
He had lost to Xian Xianghua in the past, and recently he lost to Yang Di. He had never been the world’s top cultivator.
His determination to become the world’s most powerful cultivator was not weaker than Xian Xianghua’s.
“Zhou Xuanji, you think you have won? ”
Jihuang Demon Lord roared furiously. Zhou Xuanji’s demeanor as the victor was the thing that he hated the most. It made him disgusted and ashamed.
At this moment, Zhou Xuanji swooped down at him with the Eight-step Sword Lunge.
Pshhhh!
The Sky Extinguis.h.i.+ng Sword pierced into Jihuang Demon Lord’s chest. Zhou Xuanji then stepped on to his shoulder with one foot and his abdomen with the other. This pushed the Demon Lord backward, but the Demon Lord was determined to not fall backward and maintained his body slanted backward.
Zhou Xuanji activated the World Internalization straightaway and quickly absorbed Jihuang Demon Lord’s demonic energy.
He wanted to break through to Great Realization faster, so this was a good opportunity to make use of Jihuang Demon Lord.
A scenic picture appeared around them faintly.
“This Sovereign’s demonic energy…”
Jihuang Demon Lord opened his eyes wide. When he tried to struggle, he realized that he could no longer move.
The battle just now had already added more injuries to his already injured body. And now, with the Tianxia Map’s power, he could no longer resist.
Zhou Xuanji looked at him coldly and spoke no more.
Despair welled up in Jihuang Demon Lord’s heart. He looked at Zhou Xuanji, and his mind shook.
“The Tianxia Map! This is the Tianxia Map…”
He went into a frenzy. Along with the World Fool Sword’s influence, his mind became even more clouded.
At the brink of death, the nearness of the Tianxia Map made his mind crumble instantly.
“This Sovereign wants to get the Tianxia Map… To become the world’s number one… This Sovereign wants to be unrivaled…”
Jihuang Demon Lord s.h.i.+vered as he mumbled to himself. His face turned extremely hideous.
Memories of the past flashed past his mind endlessly.
He remembered back then.
When he just had enough cultivation to gain human form.
He was standing on a hill in a forest. Covered with wounds, he looked at a charming silhouette.
It was Xian Xianghua!
Xian Xianghua stood back-facing him and mocked, “Little demon, you are still very far from becoming the world’s top cultivator. As long as I’m in the Northern Wilderness Region, the world is my hands! ”
She laughed wildly as she leaped and flew toward the horizon like a celestial being ascending into the heavens.
The young Demon Lord gnashed his teeth. He clenched his fists, and reluctance was written all across his face.
…
The ancient memories became clearer to him, which made his hatred burn even more intensely in his eyes.
Boooom!
Zhou Xuanji broke through to Spirit Refinement Level Eight. His aura was beaming.
Jihuang Demon Lord could not move still. He fell into total despair.
He looked back toward the horizon at where Xian Xianghua was at with much difficulty.
“If there’s a next life, I will surely let you see how I become the world’s top cultivator…”
He mumbled to himself as his eyelids fell.
He had thought about his many possible endings. Still, he had never imagined that he would die to such a young cultivator.
Reluctance, regret, hatred…
But there was also a tinge of indescribable liberation.
Zhou Xuanji felt odd. Could this guy love Xian Xianghua?
He did not overthink it as he held onto the Demon Lord.
Everyone had to die one day and would surely express one’s true emotions.
The Empress of Great Zhou did so and so did the Ancient Diablo.
But this is the human world. Death, life, and reincarnation were simply this.
For the sake of himself and those he cared for, he had to kill Jihuang Demon Lord.
A ma.s.sive amount of demonic energy was pumped into his body. It was converted into spirit energy that rushed through his body like a tidal wave.
After all this fighting, the demonic energy in Jihuang Demon Lord’s body was still abundant.
Most importantly, Jihuang Demon Lord was still creating demonic energy in his body but not as quickly as he absorbed it.
A while later.
Zhou Xuanji broke through to Spirit Refinement Level Nine.
Fifteen minutes later.
He broke through to Spirit Refinement Level Ten, and Jihuang Demon Lord had totally fallen.
The Sovereign of the demons died.
The heavens and the earth were silent as a cold wind blew over the ruins.
Zhou Xuanji withdrew the Sky Extinguis.h.i.+ng Sword and took off the Demon Lord’s storage ring. Just when he was about to leave, a voice came into his ears, “Zhou Xuanji, come here to meet me. I have something to discuss with you. ”
He remembered this voice.
Daoseeker!
He concentrated his mind and immediately disappeared.
On the other side, a huge commotion exploded on Skyfall. Everyone was exhilarated.
On the high peak nearby, Xian Xianghua heaved a sigh of relief.
Although Zhou Xuanji had the advantage, Jihuang Demon Lord was an ancient demon. The latter could have some hidden power that could kill Zhou Xuanji unexpectedly.
Fortunately, that did not happen.
Why did that guy lose his mind every time he encountered Zhou Xuanji?
She was puzzled in her heart but did not overthink it.
She got up to leave, while the 36 Demon Leaders could not hold their excitement and began a heated discussion.
…
In the forest, rays of sunlight beamed through the gaps between the leaves and illuminated the gra.s.sy ground.
Zhou Xuanji stood face to face with Daoseeker.
“Tell me, what is it?” He asked softly.
Daoseeker took a deep breath, cupped his fists, and half-knelt before Zhou Xuanji.
