Chapter 263: Nine Suns Brilliant World
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Demon G.o.d tapped out with his finger.
In response, black demonic Qi surged through the air.
When condensed into a single point, it was pitch-black like ink, as if it could devour everything.
Ding!
The Qi forces collided.
The sound akin to metals being struck against each other rang out for thousands of miles.
The Daybreak Sword however continued to forcefully push forward, and a crack appeared in the Demon G.o.d’s power.
Seeing this, the phantom’s eyes flashed with anger.
To him, his attack being broken apart by an ant was a humiliation!
The Sword of Daybreak had an ultimate slash, an ultimate penetrative effect.
The Sword Qi would only continue forward!
As it was consumed, it slashed at the Demon G.o.d’s phantom!
The phantom’s fingers were slowly separated!
The Demon G.o.d roared.
Black Qi surged, becoming even more dense.
Finally, when Su Wen’s sword qi completely separated its right arm, the sword qi dispersed!
Su Wen sighed. His cultivation was still not strong enough.
The sword aura was only a few meters away from Chu Yinchuan!
Cold sweat appeared on Chu Yinchuan’s forehead in the meantime.
Too strong!
This Demon G.o.d’s Judgment was his trump card.
However, even so, it could not defeat Su Wen’s sword qi.
On the contrary, Su Wen’s sword Qi had almost sliced through the demonic G.o.d’s phantom!
Was this something a 4th Grade Heaven Rank could do?
In the void, the corners of Gongsun s.h.i.+’s mouth curled up.
The Demon Emperor frowned slightly in return.
“A 4th Grade Heaven Rank cultivator using a martial dao Divine Ability. What talent!” he praised.
Gongsun s.h.i.+ looked at him and said, “Do you have confidence in winning over me? Why don’t you withdraw your army first?”
The demon emperor laughed maniacally. “Hahaha! Just with you? If you didn’t have those divine weapons, you would’ve died in my hands. Do you think you can defeat me even if you risk your life?”
Gongsun s.h.i.+’s expression was cold as he said, “If we fight to the death, you might not survive!”
“Humph, how can you know my methods? Furthermore, from the looks of it now, your human world has been regressing for the past tens of thousands of years! There are so few top experts, so the human world will definitely be annihilated!”
“Then let’s continue fighting!”
In the void, loud explosions continuously sounded. The two of them fought again!
At this moment, Gongsun s.h.i.+ felt some regret. Perhaps he was wrong.
Apart from the fear between the various countries, he was also behind the restrictions of the Heaven Rank experts.
However, martial artists still had to rely on battle to nurture themselves. Only in between life and death would it be easier to break through.
Obviously, the current state of recovery after the war between the two worlds was completely different.
Furthermore, Gongsun s.h.i.+ had a bad feeling about this.
Was there only one Grand Emperor among the devil race?
On Su Wen’s side, after the two of them exchanged blows, Su Wen’s True Qi was almost depleted.
Although the power of Daybreak was strong, it was not a martial technique that Su Wen could activate with his cultivation. It consumed a lot of Qi in return.
At this moment! Chu Yinchuan shot forwards!
Boom!
He threw a punch at Su Wen!
Bang!
Su Wen did not dodge and similarly threw a punch.
Vermillion Bird Glazed Body!
With his incomparably powerful body and Su Wen’s long period of development, he forcibly threw out a punch to meet with his opponent!
At the same time, the Scorching Sun in Su Wen’s body revolved and a new True Qi appeared. Su Wen also stepped on the Star Position.
In the starry sky of his domain, stars flashed and the astral starlight covered his body.
His True Qi began to recover rapidly!
He fought another bout against Chu Yinchuan!
At this moment, Su Wen realized that this fellow was completely different from the people in the human world.
His body was fast, his body was tough, and his combat awareness was extremely strong.
Wu Kunhu!
That’s right, he felt a sense of familiarity from this demon in front of him. Wu Kunhu, the system’s sparring partner, and even Su Wen were all people who had developed everything to the extreme!
They aimed to completely develop their potential and battle prowess!
It was not purely a cultivation of realms, but also a cultivation of battle prowess.
Su Wen opened his Pupils of the Vermillion Bird.
Flames rose from his body as the two of them danced wildly in the air.
The repercussions of their Qi force continued for hundreds of miles.
Compared to Chu Yinchuan, Su Wen was much weaker. However, in terms of martial comprehension, he was still above Chu Yinchuan!
The two of them fought continuously!
Chu Yinchuan grabbed onto Su Wen’s weakness and threw a punch.
The black demonic Qi directly broke through Su Wen’s Heaven Earth Origin Qi barrier.
However, the corners of Su Wen’s mouth curled up!
Raging Flames Illusionary Body!
Chu Yinchuan’s fist phased through his body.
Su Wen turned around and rematerialized behind Chu Yinchuan.
Nine Brilliance Sun Fist!
(TL Note: Sorry, changing the name. The previous Nine Glorious Raging Flames Fist was just too much of a mouthful LOL)
The sun in the starry domain erupted with a scorching light. In an instant, heat waves swept through the entire domain!
Su Wen’s buff increased!
A small sun had already formed on his fist at this point as it powered straight towards Chu Yinchuan!
It was the ultimate technique of the Nine Brilliance Sun Fist, the Great Solar Celestial Sun Divide!
Using his palm as a blade, dividing the Sun!
Chu Yinchuan’s reaction was also extremely fast. He shouted, “True Demon Golden Body!”
Black Qi flashed as it gathered on his body!
His arms circled back!
Suddenly, another four arms appeared on his back!
The four arms were covered in black inscriptions and were muscular.
“Demon King’s Fury!”
Six arms struck out at the same time!
Boom!
Amidst the huge explosion, both sides were sent flying.
However, right at this moment, the Scorching Sun in Su Wen’s domain glowed, and flames began to rise within it.
A sea of flames spanning thousands of miles!
Something strange started to happen behind Su Wen.
A golden dot appeared!
Flames rapidly surged into it.
This process was akin to what happened during nuclear fusion.
Soon, it condensed into a miniature sun the size of a head!
But this was only the beginning!
First! Second! Third…
Almost instantly, nine miniature suns condensed behind Su Wen.
Nine Brilliance Sun Fist — Nine Suns Brilliant World!
The true power of the Great Solar Supreme Policy was now being unleashed.
Compared to Daybreak, the power of the Great Solar Supreme Policy was actually not inferior. In fact, it even surpa.s.sed it.
After all, the Great Solar Supreme Policy was a Heaven Rank technique at the pinnacle of the Fire Dao. It was only a fine line away from being a Paragon Rank technique.
On the other hand, Su Wen’s comprehension of the Great Solar Supreme Policy also far surpa.s.sed that of Daybreak.
At this moment, even from several kilometers away, Chu Yinchuan could feel the terror of Su Wen’s martial technique!
The holy flames in Su Wen’s eyes flickered as the multiple suns rose behind him.
He resembled a G.o.d of Fire at this moment.
“F*ck your mother!”
This holy scene was suddenly shattered as Su Wen cursed out loudly!
There was no other reason other than the fact that Chu Yinchuan actually turned around and ran!
When this fellow saw Su Wen completely unleash the Nine Suns Brilliant World, he had the intention to retreat. He turned around and ran!
How could Su Wen let him off?
He activated Stellar Transposition and chased after him!
Chu Yinchuan was an 8th Grade Heaven Rank cultivator. Logically speaking, he should be much faster than Su Wen.
However, in this domain, Su Wen was constantly encountering strange situations as he moved.
Under the starlight, his body even appeared to teleport!
After comprehending the Stellar Transposition to the extreme, one could use the Star Points to teleport.
However, the distance of this kind of transfer was limited, and it could not be activated indefinitely. There would need to be a certain period of time between the activation.
The two of them chased and escaped, soon disappearing without a trace.
Guan Gu and the others watching the battle were already speechless.
Such battle prowess was simply too terrifying.
After a while, Lu Jun looked at Ning Shuang and couldn’t help but ask, “Lord Su Wen is too strong. Is he really a 4th Grade Heaven Rank?”
Ning Shuang was also filled with doubts as she muttered, “Young Master’s talent is actually not that good… so why is he so powerful?”
As someone who had suppressed Su Wen for a long period of time, Ning Shuang really thought that Su Wen’s talent was not good.
But to Guan Gu and the others, this was not the case.
Guan Gu said with a bitter smile, “How is this not good? Then I’m afraid no one has good talent.”
One had to know that it was notoriously difficult for Heaven Rank cultivators to fight across realms.
Furthermore, it was especially difficult to fight across grades.
But how many grades did Su Wen jump to fight against?
A 4th Grade Heaven Rank cultivator was chasing after an 8th Grade Heaven Rank cultivator right now…
Such terrifying battle prowess was unheard of.
On the other side, Yu Shensu was wiping the blood on her sword.
In front of her, the Fourth General knelt on one knee.
There was still fear in his eyes.
At this moment, there was a huge hole in his chest.
However, Yu Shensu had a cold gaze as she looked at him. There was no joy nor happiness reflected.
Even though they were both at the 8th Grade of Heaven Rank, defeating this enemy was nothing to her.
At this moment, she suddenly turned to look into the distance.
She stood rooted to the ground.
A man slowly walked over with an incomparably handsome face.
“Long time no see… Jade G.o.d.”
This person was dressed in black armor and had a sinister smile on his face.
Looking at the man in front of her, her expression changed slightly. “You’re actually still alive!”
“Of course! Aren’t you still alive?”
Yu Shensu fell silent.
After a while, she sighed faintly. “I’m just living an ign.o.ble life.”
As she spoke, she looked at the man in front of her and tilted her head to ask, “You want to fight?”
The man shook his head slightly.
“I’m not interested! I’m just here to remind you that the fellow isn’t dead either! You know who I’m talking about. He’s back.”
He did not quote any names, but Yushen’s expression changed drastically!
“Impossible!”
“It’s up to you to believe it or not,” the man said before turning and walking in the direction of the Demon Realm.
His steps were not fast, but every step he took seemed to warp s.p.a.ce itself.
Yu Shensu stood rooted to the ground in shock.
Recalling that man from back then, Yu Shensu clenched her fists tightly.
Su Wen chased Chu Yinchuan for thousands of miles!
This fellow could really run!
Finally, Su Wen gave up.
Sometimes, it was like this. If you ran fast enough, you could live.
“Son of a b*tch! You even bragged that you’re second in your Demonic Tribe! So you’re just that?!”
Su Wen cursed inwardly.
He retracted his domain.
The nine Scorching Suns behind him all crashed and merged into Su Wen’s body.
“Ah~~!”
Die Yi, who was wrapped around Su Wen, let out a moan.
She and Su Wen were basically one, so the miniature suns would not cause her any harm. It was just that the temperature and powerful Origin Power caused her to subconsciously let out a cry.
Su Wen coldly laughed. “You’re always like this. You only know how to scream and nothing else. You’re just messing with my mentality…”
Die Yi transformed into her true form and flew out, pouting as she sat on Su Wen’s shoulder, “Is it my fault that I can’t hold it in? Such a huge thing is entering my body. It’s so hot…”
Su Wen gritted his teeth. “Unfortunately, this b.a.s.t.a.r.d escaped.”
Die Yi smiled as she consoled him, “Master can defeat him next time.”
Su Wen shook his head slightly and remained silent.
However, he had also gained a certain level of insight into his battle prowess.
Although his cultivation was a little weak, his battle prowess was close to the 8th Grade Heaven Rank.
In reality, an 8th Grade Heaven Rank cultivator should have comprehended their own Heaven Rank martial techniques to an extremely profound level.
It could even be said that even if Su Wen’s cultivation level increased, it would definitely increase his battle prowess, but there would not be a qualitative change.
This first wave of attacks was also a sort of way for the Demon Race to test the waters.
The battle lasted for five days before the Demon Race’s Heaven Ranks retreated.
Both sides suffered casualties.
On the whole, the humans were at a greater disadvantage. Many lower grade Heaven Rank experts had died!
On the other hand, most of the advanced Heaven Ranks had survived.
After all, they could still run even if they couldn’t win.
At this moment in the Demon Realm…
At the entrance of Nine Nether Island, within a huge tent…
The Demon Emperor who was fighting against Gongsun s.h.i.+ sat on a chair.
His cold gaze swept across his subordinates. “Chu Feng is dead? Who killed an 8th Grade Heaven Rank?”
“I don’t know… He is in charge of the northwest side of Nine Nether Island.”
The Demon Emperor’s expression froze.
Then, he looked at Chu Yinchuan and said coldly, “It’s not your fault for being defeated this time. I also sensed that kid. He’s a bit strange!”
At this moment, a woman stood out. She still had the golden horn unique to the Demon Race, and her eyes were golden as well.
She was precisely the number one general of the Demon Race!
“Your Majesty, according to my subordinates, I’m afraid this attack on the human world is not something our race can swallow properly. Should we let the Heavenly Fiend and the Evil Fiend Tribes join in?”
The three great races of the Demon Realm comprised of the Heavenly Fiend Tribe, the Evil Fiend Tribe, and the Demonic Tribe.
They were the highest ranked demon tribesce with countless subordinate tribes under their banner.
Of course, there were also some other powerful races. However, most of them were few in number, and they had yet to form a complete ruling system.
“Humph!” The Demon Emperor snorted and said, “Today, the Demon Race is without a leader, and that old fellow from the Evil Fiend Tribe is unwilling to rashly make a move. The benefits of this war between the two worlds are extremely great! My tribe naturally has to try our best to reap as many benefits as possible!
That human Saint is severely injured by me, so he definitely won’t be able to make a move in the short term. Although I don’t dare to move lightly, if we can eat it ourselves, we naturally have to eat it ourselves! As long as we obtain the rewards of the Heavenly Dao, our cultivation will take another step forward, and we will unify the Demon Realm in front of us!”
Furthermore, the Demonic Emperor knew very well that even if he wanted those two races to fight, they might not listen to him.
“But from the looks of it, the foundation of the Human Race is not weak.”
The Demon Emperor said coldly, “Go, gather some rare experts. Those above 8th Grade Heaven Rank will be allowed to join the battlefield!”
At first, he thought that he could use his own strength to swallow this world!
Then, through the reward of the Heavenly Dao, he would break through his cultivation and conquer the entire Demon Race!
From the looks of it, he had thought too highly of himself.
However, he would rather let some smaller tribes join in than look for the Heavenly Fiend and Evil Fiend Tribes.
On the human side, ever since the Heaven Rank experts entered the Nine Nether Island…
Su Changqing led the commoners, troops, and Spiritual Masters to the Nine Nether Island!
They began to set up a defensive line thousands of miles away from the battlefront!
In reality, the terrain had been scouted long ago. In terms of overall judgment, this line was the most suited for defense.
Building the pa.s.s, building the city, setting up spirit arrays, and developing weapons.
Everything was proceeding smoothly.
This time however, the Demonic Tribe remained silent for a long time.
It also took time for them to gather their men.
With the help of a large number of Spiritual Masters and martial artists, the construction speed of the city was extremely fast!
In three months, mountain pa.s.ses and cities stood tall on the horizon.
During this period, everyone had worked extremely hard.
After setting up the large scale sensing formation, the Heaven Rank experts would no longer need to split up.
They all gathered in the city.
During this period of time, Su Wen’s cultivation base had reached 5th Grade Heaven Rank as well.
His body had been quickly healed.
This ability was better than nothing to him.
His total True Qi capacity had also increased slightly.
However, towards his true battle prowess, the increase was not great.
However, he had already felt some benefits.
After killing the demons, the Heaven Earth Merit had entered his body.
His cultivation speed increased noticeably!
Su Changqing and Ni Hongxiao were also in the city that Su Wen was currently in, including some experts from Chu Country.
When Xiang Ding found out that Su Wen was the one who had defeated an 8th Grade Heaven Rank expert, he was stunned.
His heart felt extremely complicated!
Su Wen had gone from someone he did not see as a threat to someone stronger than him.
One had to know that Xiang Ding was only at the 7th Grade Heaven Rank.
However, he had no choice.
He could already foresee that Su Wen’s words held enormous weight in the Chu Country.
Even he was powerless to stop it.
The only thing he was glad about was that Su Wen and Xiang Feiyan had a common son.
At this moment, Su Changqing and Su Wen sat opposite each other.
Old Su sighed and said, “I didn’t expect you to actually have such strength. If it wasn’t for this great battle erupting, it wouldn’t be impossible for our Great Chu to unite the world!”
Su Wen smiled. “There’s no hurry. After this, the world will belong to our Su family.”
Su Changqing sighed and said, “If we fight again, the demon race will probably not probe like this anymore.”
“Oh? Why?” Su Wen was very curious how Old Su could tell.
Su Changqing said, “In this battle, the other party is probing our combat strength. We don’t know how much strength the other party has exerted. Although our defense system can cover a larger surface, we will definitely suffer losses in a local battle. Therefore, they will definitely concentrate their strength to attack the next time!
The reason why they didn’t do this last time was because they were unable to determine the combat strength of us human experts. The next time they make a move, they will definitely gather their power and strike like lightning, fighting to the end!”
“Only by resisting the next attack and defeating the other party can we have a chance to catch our breath. In a situation where the other party is afraid, we can only survive. I just hope that there isn’t only this force within the Demon Race!”
At this point, Su Changqing couldn’t help but sigh. “Unfortunately, there’s insufficient information in the demon race. Otherwise, we could still try to think of a way.”
“Senior Gongsun is still in seclusion?” Su Wen asked.
Su Changqing nodded and said, “That’s right. The last time he fought with the Demon Emperor, he should have been severely injured!” He said with a solemn expression, “I don’t know what will happen, but I’m afraid it’ll get harder to end the war now.”
Just as he finished speaking…
Gongsun s.h.i.+ appeared in the courtyard.
He coughed violently.
Then, he said, “Don’t worry, that Demon Emperor isn’t feeling too good either. This person should have some misgivings. Otherwise, if we were to fight to the death, I would have already died! He doesn’t want to suffer too serious an injury, so his hands and feet are tied. It can be seen that there is definitely a threat to him in the Demon Race!”
Su Changqing said with a bitter smile, “Senior, how can I be at ease? What if they turn around and join forces?”
“Eh!” Gongsun s.h.i.+ was taken aback by those words. He smiled bitterly and said, “Then I can only hope that they don’t join forces. Otherwise, the human world will be in danger.”
Su Wen was dumbfounded. This was too realistic. Was their safety all based on luck?
In the capital of the Chu Country, Xiang Sheng was playing in the royal garden with Xiang Yan.
As he looked at the short Xiang Yan…
A trace of resentment flashed across Xiang Sheng’s eyes.
“Come brother, look at this beautiful fis.h.!.+”
Xiao Xiangyan smiled. “Is that so? Let me take a look!” As he spoke, he ran to the side of the pond.
Xiang Sheng touched a cloth bag on his body.
There were knockout drugs inside! Drug him then and drown him! Then, Xiang Sheng could lie that he fell into the water and died!
