Chapter 2091
The leader was clad in black iron armor, with ferocious demonic patterns engraved on it. His aura was like that of a dragon soaring and a tiger striding. He held a long spear pointing directly at the two men, the tip of the spear gleaming coldly as if it could pierce the sky.
He was surrounded by four young cultivators, both men and women. Their auras were refined and steady, and their eyes held arrogance. They were clearly not ordinary guards, but rather geniuses of extraordinary backgrounds.
Xia Jiuyou's heart tightened, and her fingertips turned slightly white.
Her strength has only recovered to 30-40%, so if they were to actually fight, she wouldn't be able to relieve any pressure on Chen Xuan.
Seeing Chen Xuan remain silent, she quietly tugged at his sleeve, signaling him to tone down his sharpness and communicate properly.
However, facing the strong obstruction of the five people, Chen Xuan curled his lips into a cold smile and said in a cold voice, "Since when did the Devouring Demon Star Void become a sealed place? I have never heard of it."
Given such a disparity in strength, the fact that they dared to openly question him immediately caused the five people who tried to stop them to frown.
A beautiful female cultivator in green robes wanted to persuade the two to leave, but the young man in military uniform leading them was already impatient.
He was extremely arrogant. Seeing that Chen Xuan and the other two did not know when to advance or retreat, he snorted coldly, and the spear in his hand suddenly grew larger. His body suddenly transformed into an ancient scaled beast several meters tall, crushing down with overwhelming demonic energy.
"So you're a genius from the demon race. But you demons are far too arrogant." A hint of contempt flashed in Chen Xuan's eyes. He flung Xia Jiuyou's hand away, and the Beiming Sword suddenly appeared in his palm. Its blade was dark blue and exuded a chilling aura. He went straight to meet the attack.
"court death!"
The young man who transformed into a strange beast was named Mangjue. His body was covered in scales that gleamed with an eerie light, and he held a long spear that was several times larger in size in each hand.
Seeing that Chen Xuan actually used his human body to fight against his demon body, he felt greatly slighted. He let out a low roar, and countless black dots suddenly flew out from the gaps in his scales, rushing towards Chen Xuan like a locust plague.
"Be careful! These are dragon lice from the Immortal Ancient Bull Python clan!" Xia Jiuyou's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly sent a telepathic warning, "This person has not yet reached the Heavenly Immortal realm, yet he can breed so many Nascent Soul realm dragon lice. His combat power is extremely strong!"
Chen Xuan received a telepathic message in his mind. Looking at the swarm of dragon beetles rushing towards him, he felt nauseous. These dragon beetles were pitch black, exuding a foul, demonic aura, and their sheer number almost covered half the sky.
"You mere water beetles, you think you can gang up on me?" Chen Xuan held his sword in one hand, his expression indifferent, seemingly ignoring the water beetles around him.
"Water and Fire Lotus!"
wow——
Crimson flames and deep blue water intertwined before him, and a huge Dao lotus suddenly bloomed, its petals shimmering with a crystalline luster and emanating a terrifying Dao aura.
The dense swarm of dragon beetles crashed into the Dao Lotus, instantly producing muffled thuds, but failed to shake the Dao Lotus in the slightest. Only the three strongest dragon beetles left a tiny ripple on the outer edge of the lotus petals.
"What? How is this possible?"
"The dragon beetles of the python couldn't break through his protective magic?"
"This person's strength is unfathomable. Everyone be on guard. If Mangjue is no match for him, we will immediately take action!"
Mangjue and Chen Xuan had already clashed head-on, their spear shadows and sword lights intertwining, unleashing a deafening roar. The four people behind them had solemn expressions, exchanging whispers, their eyes filled with apprehension.
Everyone thought it would be a closely fought battle, and even if a winner was decided, both sides would be severely injured.
But to everyone's surprise, after only five or six rounds, the python's massive body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, a long sword piercing its head, leaving a gruesome wound from which blood gushed. Chen Xuan kicked it in the abdomen, slamming it heavily to the ground.
"Weren't we evenly matched just now? How could this be..."
"The speed and power of that sword strike... he had actually been hiding his true strength!"
The four were shocked at the sight, but not too worried. They could tell at a glance that although the sword had pierced through the python's head, it had not damaged its core.
"Fortunately, the demon core was not damaged, otherwise the python would have really perished today."
"Impossible! How could I lose to a human cultivator at the Void Transformation Realm!"
Mangjue recovered his senses and roared in disbelief. The sword wound on his head throbbed with excruciating pain, and the powerful sword energy raged within him. If Chen Xuan hadn't deliberately held back, not wanting to completely break ties with this force, he would have already been reduced to ashes.
"Such arrogant behavior, I thought you were something special, but you're nothing special." Chen Xuan stood in the air, sword in hand, his robes fluttering, his gaze calmly sweeping over the five people below. "What, do you want to continue this one-on-one fight, or will all five of you come at me together?"
Xia Jiuyou was shocked and flew to Chen Xuan's side. The python was even stronger than San Guang, yet it was defeated in just a few breaths. She looked up at Chen Xuan's profile, and the confidence and composure in his eyes stirred something within her.
"Three hundred years of cultivation, Chen Xuan, what exactly have you gone through to possess such terrifying combat power?"
"presumptuous!"
"Damn it! How dare they look down on my demon race!"
"Everyone, let's join forces to kill this brat! Otherwise, won't the reputation of our Demon Realm Holy Land be trampled underfoot by this man!"
The python's roar ignited the anger of the other four. Since the decisive battle of the Immortal Ancient Realm, the Heavenly Demon Realm had firmly held the upper hand over the human race and other races. Now, being provoked like this by a human youth, how could they tolerate it?
"Roar!"
"Today I will show you the power of my demon race!"
woohoo-
The demonic mist surged out like ink, instantly obscuring the sky.
As the mist dissipated, five enormous beasts appeared in mid-air: the ferocious and terrifying bull python, the dragon snake coiled with lightning, the tortoise with a shell as thick as a mountain, the feathered azure phoenix with wings shimmering with rosy light, and the scaled remnant unicorn surrounded by azure light.
The earth-shattering roars echoed for miles around. All five strange beasts possessed the bloodlines of the Ten Ancient Ferocious Beasts, and their auras were extremely terrifying.
They quickly dispersed, with the four strange beasts occupying the east, south, west, and north directions respectively. In the center was the scaled Qilin, and the terrifying formation was already taking shape.
“This is the Four Stars and Five Absolutes Formation!” Xia Jiuyou’s expression was solemn. As a veteran saintess, she was well-informed and had long heard of such a fierce formation. “If this formation were set up by five first-class celestial immortals, they could hold their own against two or three celestial kings or divine kings.”
"Fortunately, they are not from the Five Elements Divine Beasts clan, so the formation can only unleash 40-50% of its power. If we join forces, we might be able to hold them off." Xia Jiuyou's gaze swept across the five directions, quickly searching for the formation's weak point. "Chen Xuan, you severely injured the Bull Python earlier, so use him as a breakthrough point. I will assist you in breaking the formation!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Jiuyou drew a pair of ice crystal swords. The swords were crystal clear, radiating a bone-chilling cold, and their blades were imbued with a sharp sword intent, with faint sword cries emanating from them.
Chen Xuan turned to look at her, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes, his tone teasing: "What, after only one night's sleep, you're already worried I'll perish?"
