Chapter 222: To Be or Not To Be a Woman!
Chapter 222: To Be or Not To Be a Woman!
The Ancestral Temple, guarded by the three Demon Emperors, the Violet Emperor, the 108 Demon Saints, and tens of millions of demons, was no match for the devil's might.
Yet, Moon Fairy scampering up and down, playing the seducer had finally earned a golden opportunity!
"A top-tier Seed of Creation! Brother, you've struck it rich!" Blue Star, witnessing this with its own eyes, was absolutely gobsmacked.
"Coffin mist!" Yun Xiao uttered just two words. The ancient bronze coffin became shrouded in mist! He recalled how he used this same tactic in Azure Spirit to incapacitate a demonic cultivator. Best of all, this strategy wasn't as taxing on the coffin soul beast.
The coffin mist and Moon Fairy! This was Yun Xiao's capital to battle the Emperor level Devils while only at the Early Saint Realm. But he had no time and still felt it wasn't enough! He pulled out a Pouch of Holding, pouring out tens of thousands of Sword Hearts right before him, forming a miniature mountain of them.
"Ancestors, aid me!" Yun Xiao thrust the Heaven Burial Sword Soul directly into this pile!
BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ! Countless Sword Hearts, as if summoned by the sword's forebear, filled with ancestral obsession, surged into the three-foot azure blade. Tens of thousands of Sword Hearts created a maelstrom of colorful sword energy, intensifying the lethality of the Sword Aura and Sword Ring demon magics!
At this moment, Yun Xiao, bolstered by the Divine Desolation Physique, was more devilish than the devils themselves!
The War Princess, who had initially underestimated this little boy, was shocked by his sudden display of lethal force—the coffin mist, Divine Desolation Physique, and the empowerment of the Sword Hearts!
"What kind of monster is this!" No sooner had the War Princess spoken than a thick wave of coffin mist engulfed her and Ghost Slayer!
The power of the ancient bronze coffin's mist seeped into their bodies, infiltrating their blood and hearts, coursing through their veins, and started corroding the sacred essence within these two devils!
"War Princess, this mist is poisonous, we must kill our way out quickly!" Ghost Slayer hissed, his black robe tearing apart to reveal a tall, menacing devil. His face was a ghastly green with fierce fangs, his body adorned with pitch-black scales. A pair of ram horns, adorned with triple blood stripes, crowned his forehead.
In contrast, the War Princess seemed almost human, radiant and beautiful, with exquisitely ornate, regal horns on her head, each marked with nine blood stripes, indicating immense power. Yet, under the engulfing coffin mist, even her blood horns lost their luster.
Both devils fixed their deadly gazes on Yun Xiao.
In a flash, a fierce battle erupted!
The War Princess wielded a striking red blood whip, bristling with venomous fangs and adorned with nine blood-colored steel rings—a magic treasure of high caliber, easily of Galaxy grade!
Ghost Slayer gripped a black blood flag, known as the Soul Summoning Banner, capable of capturing souls and doubling as a spear.
WHOOSH!
With a sweeping motion, Ghost Slayer unleashed a tide of blood-red flames from the banner, roaring towards Yun Xiao like a fiery torrent.Facing two, Yun Xiao had to slay one first! Without time for showmanship, he hurled an Elemental Sphere at the War Princess with his left hand, while his right wielded the Heaven Burial Sword Soul, now a three-inch Flying Sword, whirling furiously towards his foes.
KLANG! A piercing clang echoed within the ancient bronze coffin.
Constellation Slaying Sword, Star Burst Pulsar!
This was the second Flying Sword technique after Meteor Shower, the mightiest sword of the Constellation Slaying Sword, transforming into a streak of starlight piercing the dark night—a technique similar in form to Sun and Moon Divine Light, Rainbow Through the Sun!
With a single strike, the sword pulsed with a beam of concentrated starlight. This was like a sword that gathered the entire cosmos, infused with the power of the Sword Hearts and demon magics, instantly confronting Ghost Slayer!
"Huh?!" The full might of the Night March of a Hundred Ghosts was unleashed by Yun Xiao! And Ghost Slayer was a devil of the same caliber as the Eternal Joy Demon Emperor.
Just as the Soul Summoning Banner raised a skyful of blood flames, the Star Burst Pulsar Flying Sword's storm broke through, unstoppable and overwhelming. With a deafening explosion, the sword's brilliance pierced through the banner!
BANG! Ghost Slayer, with his flesh and blood, swung the pole of the Soul Summoning Banner, striking the Flying Sword! "Break!" He roared furiously, intending to smash the Sword Soul with his brute physical strength and the power of his treasured weapon.
The Flying Sword, its path forcibly altered, should have missed Ghost Slayer, but in the next instant, it astonishingly spiraled back! POP! A streak of blue light, skimming like a stone over water, pierced Ghost Slayer's ear!
SPUTTER! The Flying Sword entered his right ear and exited the left, scattering a cloud of blood-red fragments!
"Ugh…" In a mere moment, Ghost Slayer's face turned ashen, and he fell to his knees with a thud! He died with his eyes wide open! From the start of the battle to death, it was all but an instant. The War Princess had just dispersed the terrifying explosive force of the Elemental Sphere, looked up, and saw Ghost Slayer dead!
"How is he that strong?" The War Princess exclaimed, her heart pounding wildly and her eyes turning blood-red in shock. "How dare a mere human and demon kill a devil from the Endless Netherworld? How do you wish to die?" Clutching her whip Blood Fang Devourer, she pounced towards Yun Xiao like a fierce red beast.
She could tell that part of Yun Xiao's strength wasn't his own, so she saw a chance to wear him down.
HUM! The War Princess's heart throbbed wildly, the sacred power surging through her body, turning her delicate frame a fiery red, her twin blood horns glowing.
"Blood Sacrifice, Dragon Breath!" The War Princess was now unleashing a devil's blood art technique! Similar in method to humans, the sacred power under her control erupted and transformed into a raging blood-red flame dragon, almost a thousand meters long, ferociously biting towards Yun Xiao!
"Die!" Her fiery figure vanished in a flash, attacking Yun Xiao from the side, in sync with the Dragon Breath! Merging daoist sorcery with the power of flesh and blood, the might of a devil was fully revealed to Yun Xiao.
However, Yun Xiao was more devilish than the devils!
HUM! His left hand raised, countless dense blood-colored thunderbolts coalescing on his arm, forming a gigantic blood-colored thunder arm, nearly indistinguishable from the Divine Dawn Empress' Thundergrasp Blood Maulers!
"When did you learn that?" Blue Star asked in astonishment.
"Just watched her do it twice and got it," Yun Xiao replied nonchalantly.
"What?" While Blue Star was still dumbfounded, Yun Xiao's blood-colored thunderous arm violently pressed down on the Dragon Breath!
BOOM! Thunder and flame collided, the furious dragon roared, and the entire ancient bronze coffin shook!
On the other side, the War Princess lashed her whip furiously, but Yun Xiao, with icy cold eyes, thrust his three-foot azure blade forward.
Constellation Slaying Sword, Streaking Comet!
Wielded with the Divine Desolation Physique, the sword's power was greatly amplified. The sword clashed with the steel whip. The War Princess seemed more ferocious, but Yun Xiao forced her back with a single strike, unmovable as a mountain.
The might of his Divine Desolation Physique was truly fearsome!
One plus one was more than two!
BOOM! Yun Xiao crushed the Dragon Breath with his Thundergrasp Blood Maulers, transforming into a beam of white light, descending from the sky.
Constellation Slaying Sword, Planet Fall!
This sword, powered by the force of the Sword Hearts, was as wild as a demon, fast, accurate, ruthless, and cold.
"You!" The War Princess's face darkened. She was so overwhelmed she could hardly breathe, her only response a furious cry, whipping through the air.
BOOM! The War Princess felt the weight of a planet bearing down on her. As Yun XIao's overwhelming force poured down, her knees buckled and blood burst forth!
"You're courting death!" The War Princess shrieked. As her words fell, Yun Xiao's three-foot azure blade struck again, piercing her chest in an instant, delivering seven consecutive thrusts!
PUFF PUFF PUFF! Each thrust missed vital points but sliced open the veins she was using to channel her sacred power!
"Ugh…" In pain, the War Princess's face turned deathly pale, her eyes still vicious, but lacking conviction.
STAB! Yun Xiao's sword thrust once more, this time the tip resting on the War Princess's heart! The heart, the very core of a devil, once pierced, meant certain death!
"Don't move," Yun Xiao commanded coldly, sending a shiver down the War Princess's spine. Her struggling body, racked with pain and the threat of death, immediately froze, motionless.
In that moment, she knelt in the ancient bronze coffin, while the young man in white stood before her, his sword pointed at her heart, his eyes icy cold.
The victor was clear!
"Kill me if you dare, I'm not afraid of death!" The War Princess defiantly stared back, her dark red eyes unwavering. "If I die here, your entire human race will pay with their lives!"
"You're not afraid of death, but why are your legs shaking like that?" Yun Xiao looked down at her trembling, long legs under her short skirt, a cold smirk on his lips.
"What do you want? Threatening me to help you against the demons? Do you know the crime of abducting a princess from the Endless Netherworld?" Despite her trembling legs, the War Princess's face remained proud, staring coldly at him.
Yun Xiao didn't bother responding to her but instead frowned and turned to Blue Star. "Are you sure I can't directly seize this Seed of Creation and have to use her body to cultivate the Blood Base? And after it's matured, then kill her for the blood?"
"Yes! Her bloodline is of a high grade, and your current physical form is too ethereal to handle it directly. According to the devils, she has a Nine-Tiered Bloodline, and she hasn't unlocked even one tier yet. So, in the Endless Netherworld, she's an unawakened blood talent. Her blood is immensely valuable to you," Blue Star explained.
"What a hassle!" Yun Xiao shook his head. He wasn't worried about the War Princess hearing this; after all, she wouldn't understand and was doomed anyway.
"If you find it too troublesome, there's another way," Blue Star suggested with a sly grin.
"What is it?"
"She's also a rare Split Body Seed. You could split another small portion of your soul, similar to Moon Fairy. But, this girl is a genuine female..."
Red Moon's eyes were already shining, excitedly saying, "Creator, using the hottest body double to please me, just thinking about it is thrilling! With this body double, you won't need a lover on your Immortal journey!"
"So, what's your choice?" Blue Star chuckled.
Yun Xiao glanced down at the War Princess. Blood horns, fragrant tongue, legs, spicy, wielding a huge steel whip… She was absolutely stunning! So, what to choose?
Yun Xiao clenched his teeth and declared, "I'd rather die than become a woman!"
▬ι══🪦✧⚰️✧🪦══ι▬
Outside the underground palace, a girl with a blue butterfly knot on her back was passing by on her Sovereign Sword.
Suddenly, she frowned, looking at the dilapidated palace before her. She could hear tremors from underground, and the piercing wails of a woman, a sound that brought tears to the listener's eyes.
"Who dares to commit such violence under the bright sun?" Her brows furrowed, she gripped her Sword Soul, enveloped in over 600 layers of Sword Aura, and plunged downwards.
