Chapter 1418
"Heavenly Demon! He is the Heavenly Demon!"
The green-robed cultivator's voice suddenly cracked, and he subconsciously took half a step back, his spiritual energy surging violently.
He stared intently at the golden and black light shield covering Qin He's body, his eyes filled with horror.
A year ago, a demon appeared in the world, and a dark figure fought his way out of the Divine Court's encirclement.
Legend has it that this aura, both sinister and domineering, surrounds him, capable of tearing apart even the chains of the Divine Punishment Division.
Upon hearing this, Wei Canglan's eyes narrowed sharply, golden runes swirling in his pupils. His gaze towards Qin He grew increasingly intense, and a meaningful smile slowly crept onto his lips.
I've searched high and low, but I can't find it anywhere!
It came to me without any effort!
The Heavenly Demon, it was actually the Heavenly Demon.
A year ago, that demon suddenly appeared in the world. Not only did it escape unscathed from the net set up by the Divine Punishment Division, but it also killed more than a dozen elite cultivators from the Divine Punishment Division.
That incident caused the Divine Punishment Division to lose face, and the chief god of the Divine Punishment Division was so furious that he almost mobilized all his forces, but in the end, he only managed to catch a few fragments of demonic energy.
Who would have thought he would run into this place?
Half a month ago, the Department of Merit and Virtue received a series of urgent reports from the Earth God of the Lower Realm.
It is said that an extremely secretive faith has emerged in the lower realm, with its followers being fanatical and the accumulated merit power being strange and unpredictable.
It just so happened that he was on duty, and he followed the trail of the spread of faith southward for more than half a month before finally locking onto Changyang County, which was under the care of Master Ziyang.
They thought they were just dealing with a madman who was secretly gathering merit, but they didn't expect that their actions would also involve the Heavenly Demon, whom even the Divine Punishment Division was helpless against.
This achievement might allow him to advance further in the Divine Court.
Wei Canglan ran his fingertips along the merit runes flowing on his official robe, feeling the fluctuations in Qin He's cultivation level, and his smile deepened.
Heavenly Demon, mid-stage of the Other Shore Realm.
Moreover, it was only recently that he broke through.
He, a Saint-level expert, had already solidified his golden body of merit. In addition, the Divine Restriction of Merit in his hand could both suppress the order of merit and restrain the laws of evil magic.
This difference is like the difference between clouds and mud.
Everything was exquisitely perfect.
"Vice Envoy." The green-robed cultivator forcibly suppressed his fear and leaned close to Wei Canglan, his voice extremely low, "The Heavenly Demon is powerful and should not be underestimated. Why don't we send a message to the Divine Court first and call for reinforcements? With the Merit Divine Restriction here, it's enough to trap him. Once the reinforcements arrive, we can be absolutely certain of success."
His suggestion was extremely prudent. The Heavenly Demon's fearsome reputation was well-established, and even if Qin He's cultivation level was not high at the moment, no one could guarantee that he didn't have any hidden methods.
Wei Canglan slowly shook his head, his gaze still fixed on Qin He, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable authority: "No need."
The green-robed cultivator was taken aback and wanted to persuade him again, but Wei Canglan stopped him by raising his hand.
Wei Canglan's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible arrogance, "Under this restriction, let alone those at the Other Shore Realm, even those at the Saint Realm would find it difficult to break through. He is merely a Heavenly Demon who has just entered the mid-stage of the Other Shore Realm; he cannot cause any trouble."
As he spoke, his golden body of merit trembled slightly, and his ten-zhang-tall figure exuded an increasingly powerful pressure. Golden law patterns flowed on his body, causing the surrounding space to slowly collapse.
“It will take at least half a day for the Divine Court's reinforcements to arrive. The right thing to do is for us to act swiftly and decisively to take him down. This place is not far from Changyang County, and his followers who have been secretly gathering merit are scattered all around. If we delay too long, it will attract interference from those fanatical followers, which will only cause more trouble.”
Saint-level beings already possess an overwhelming advantage over those in the Other Shore Realm. Coupled with the restraint of the Divine Restriction of Merit, he is fully confident that he can defeat Qin He on his own.
The moment he finished speaking, he manipulated his ten-zhang-tall golden body of merit, slowly raising his other hand.
With their palms facing each other, golden merit power gathered wildly, condensing into a fist-sized ball of light in their palms.
On the surface of the sphere of light, countless fine merit runes flowed rapidly. With each flow, they resonated with the laws of heaven and earth. The air inside the golden bowl instantly solidified, and even the light was distorted by this oppressive force.
Qin He stood there, his brows slightly furrowed.
He could clearly sense that the power contained within this golden orb was extremely terrifying, and it also carried a restraining power specifically targeting his demonic energy.
The golden-black light shield around him trembled slightly, and the circulation of the true demonic energy became sluggish.
But he showed no fear on his face; instead, a sneer of arrogance crept onto his face.
"So what if he's at the Saint level? So what if he has the Golden Body of Merit? He already reached that level in the Abyss."
The golden and black law patterns around Qin He suddenly surged, and the originally stagnant true demonic energy burst forth instantly, completely merging with the merit light membrane in his sea of consciousness. The two-colored light shield on his body became more and more solid, and even began to actively counteract the surrounding golden pressure.
"Trying to take credit by using me?" He looked up at Wei Canglan, his eyes blazing with golden and black flames. "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you."
Before he finished speaking, the lotus fire in Qin He's palm surged again. This time, a faint black demonic pattern appeared within the crimson and blue flames.
The laws of birth and death and the laws of demons intertwined, forming an even more bizarre and domineering aura that forcefully broke through the constraints of the golden pressure and blasted towards the golden body of merit.
Wei Canglan's eyes narrowed, and the smile on his lips vanished, replaced by a cold glint: "Stubborn fool! Since you're courting death, I'll grant your wish!"
He suddenly swung his hand down, and the golden ball of light in his palm, carrying a world-destroying force, crashed down towards Qin He.
Wherever the sphere of light passed, space was torn apart by fine cracks of laws, emitting a piercing shriek.
Inside the golden bowl, two completely different laws of power collided completely.
There was no earth-shattering roar, only strange ripples generated when the laws merged, spreading outwards.
Wherever it passed, the rocks on the ground instantly turned to dust, and even the spiritual energy in the air was completely sucked away.
Qin He swayed, advancing instead of retreating, his body protected by a two-colored light shield, and charged towards the golden light sphere.
The lotus fire transformed into a long blade at his fingertips, its blade wreathed in golden and black demonic patterns. With each swing, it could shatter large swathes of golden merit power.
Wei Canglan manipulated the Golden Body of Merit, his fists striking out alternately. Golden fist shadows fell like raindrops, each punch containing pure merit laws, attempting to completely crush Qin He.
In an instant, the laws within the golden bowl crisscrossed, and the two extreme forces collided wildly, neither able to gain the upper hand.
The green-robed cultivator stood aside, his expression growing increasingly solemn.
He could clearly sense that Qin He's strength far exceeded the records in the dossier. Even though he was at a disadvantage in terms of cultivation level, he could still withstand the attack of a Saint-level being by relying on the strange fusion of laws.
