Chapter 524: Sword Slashing the Styx
Just when everyone in the cultivation world had just felt somewhat reassured by the great reputation of Yun Yao and Chu Mochen, the demon world suddenly stirred up a storm without any warning. A piercing demon light rushed up from the direction of the Nine Netherworld, like a black smoke signal announcing the end of the world, instantly breaking the hard-won peace. In an instant, the rolling demonic energy was like a black tide of anger, surging in with a devastating force, carrying endless evil and violence. In just a few hours, 100,000 demon cultivators crossed the channel between the two realms and brazenly invaded the cultivation world.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen stood in the clouds, overlooking the land below that was devoured by the demonic energy, their faces as solemn as frost. Yun Yao tightly grasped the divine weapon that had evolved into the Hongmeng Heavenly Sword in her hand. The sword body trembled slightly, as if it was in tune with her mind, sensing the intense crisis that was coming towards her. Her eyes were like torches, and through the layers of demonic energy, she keenly sensed an extremely strange aura hidden in it - it was a wisp of Hongmeng turbid air, like a poisonous snake hidden in the depths of darkness, exuding a palpitating sense of death.
“This turbid air from the primordial world…” Yun Yao frowned, a sense of foreboding welling up in her heart. She turned to look at Chu Mochen, who also had a stern expression beside her, “It’s definitely not an ordinary thing. I always feel that it has a close connection with our past lives.”
Chu Mochen nodded slightly, and the chaotic energy surged around his Chaos Saint Body, like a materialized storm, shaking away the approaching demonic energy. "Yes, this familiar and dangerous aura, I'm afraid it's the remnant of the Chaos Demon God in the previous life." His voice was low and firm, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, "No matter what, we must not let these demon cultivators succeed today, and we must not let this primordial turbid energy bring disaster to the world."
Yun Yao took a deep breath, and slowly raised the Hongmeng Heavenly Sword in her hand. The runes on the sword flickered, and the light became more and more dazzling, as if responding to her determination. "Then let's meet the mastermind behind this!" After saying that, she moved her body and rushed towards the source of the Styx, where the demonic energy was the most concentrated, like a stream of light. Chu Mochen followed closely behind her, and the chaotic energy left a long tail behind him.
The two of them arrived at the river bank of the Styx in a flash. The water of the Styx before them was like boiling black magma, with pungent mist constantly surging. The river was filled with the screams of evil spirits. Above the river, a huge demon shadow stood in the middle, surrounded by thick turbid air. It was the lifeless demon lord who was incarnated from the remnant of the Chaos Demon God. The demon lord's figure was as majestic as a mountain, his face was distorted and blurred, and his facial features could not be seen clearly. Only a pair of blood-red eyes revealed endless murderous intent, staring at Yun Yao and Chu Mochen.
"Hmph, two ignorant ants, today is the day you die!" The Undying Demon Lord roared, shaking the Styx River into thousands of huge waves, rushing towards the shore. Then, he waved his hand, and a black magic blade formed by the turbid air of the primordial world cut through the sky, slashing towards Yun Yao and the others with the momentum of destroying the world.
Seeing this, Yun Yao's eyes condensed, and the Hongmeng Heavenly Sword in her hand instantly burst into brilliant light. She shouted: "Sword breaks the sky!" In an instant, the runes on the sword body surged like a living thing, and a sword energy hundreds of feet long whistled out and collided fiercely with the black magic blade. There was a loud noise, like the roar of the beginning of the world, and the violent energy ripples spread around, instantly turning the rocks on the banks of the Styx into powder.
Chu Mochen was not to be outdone. He quickly formed seals with both hands, and the power of chaos in his body surged wildly, gathering between his palms to form a rotating ball of chaos light. "Chaos collapse!" With his roar, the ball of light flew out of his hand, like a falling star, smashing towards the Lifeless Demon Lord with endless destructive power. Seeing this, the Demon Lord snorted coldly, and the turbid air around him surged, turning into a black shield to resist. The ball of chaos light hit the shield, bursting with dazzling light, and for a moment, there was a stalemate.
Yun Yao took advantage of this gap, tapped the air with her toes, and her figure flashed like a ghost, instantly approaching the Demon Lord. The Hongmeng Heavenly Sword in her hand danced into a ball of light and shadow, and her sword moves were extremely sharp. Each sword contained the power of Hongmeng, piercing the vital points of the Demon Lord. "Today I will completely annihilate your remnant!" She muttered to herself, and her eyes revealed a firm killing intent.
The Demon Lord's figure flashed, dodging Yun Yao's attack like a ghost, and at the same time, he slapped his palm with his backhand. Black magic patterns surged on his palm, and a strong suction force came, trying to suck Yun Yao into his palm. Yun Yao only felt a huge force pulling her, and her figure suddenly stagnated. At the critical moment, Chu Mochen's figure flashed and appeared behind Yun Yao, holding his hands against her back, and continuously inputting the power of chaos into her body to help her stabilize her body.
"Thank you." Yun Yao looked at Chu Mochen gratefully. The two of them met each other's eyes and instantly understood each other. Then, Yun Yao took a deep breath and the power of Hongmeng in her body was circulated to the extreme. She raised the Hongmeng Heavenly Sword high, and the sword shone brightly, as if to illuminate the whole world. "Hongmeng Creation Sword Art - Creation of Heaven and Earth!" With her cry, a sword energy that seemed to be able to tear the sky apart was slashed out. Wherever the sword energy passed, the space cracked like a broken lens, revealing dark void cracks.
The Wuming Demon Lord felt the terrifying power of this sword, and his face suddenly changed. The turbid energy of Hongmeng surged wildly around him, and gathered in front of him with all his strength, forming an extremely thick defensive barrier. However, under the peerless sharpness of the Hongmeng Creation Sword Art, this barrier was like paper, and was instantly pierced by the sword energy. The Demon Lord let out a scream, and his body was blown away by the sword energy, and hit the mountain on the other side of the Styx heavily, directly knocking the mountain down.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen took advantage of the victory and rushed to the place where the Demon Lord fell. However, just as they were about to arrive, the Demon Lord suddenly stood up from the ruins. His figure became more illusory, as if he would dissipate at any time, but the turbid air around him became more and more dense, like a burning black flame.
"Want to kill me? Not that easy!" The Demon Lord roared to the sky, and suddenly put his hands together, muttering something. As he moved, the water of the Styx seemed to be pulled by some powerful force, and gathered together to form a huge water dragon. The water dragon was surrounded by the turbid air of Hongmeng, and it pounced on Yun Yao and the others with its fangs and claws.
Seeing this, Yun Yao's eyes turned cold. She placed the Hongmeng Heavenly Sword in front of her, and the sword hummed. "See how I can cut through this evil creature of the Styx today!" After saying that, the Hongmeng power in her body rushed into the sword, and the Hongmeng Heavenly Sword shone brightly, like a scorching sun. "Sword cut the Styx!" Yun Yao shouted, and swung the long sword in her hand violently. A sword energy that seemed to be able to cut through the galaxy slashed towards the water dragon. The sword energy and the water dragon met in mid-air, and for a moment the light was so dazzling that people couldn't open their eyes, and the violent energy fluctuations made the surrounding space distorted.
Chu Mochen also assisted with all his strength. He waved his hands, and the power of chaos was like two dragons, entwining Yun Yao's sword energy and rushing towards the water dragon. Under the combined efforts of the two, the water dragon let out a series of painful roars, and the turbid air of Hongmeng on its body was stripped away and dissipated bit by bit. Finally, with a loud bang, the water dragon shattered and turned into water splashing down.
Seeing this, Wuming Demon Lord finally showed a trace of fear in his eyes, but he still did not give up. He flashed and tried to escape from here. How could Yun Yao give him this opportunity? She moved like lightning and caught up with the Demon Lord in an instant, stabbing fiercely with the Hongmeng Heavenly Sword in her hand. "Today is the end of you!" The sword easily pierced the Demon Lord's chest, and the Hongmeng power instantly poured into his body, completely annihilating his remaining remnants.
As the Demon Lord disappeared, the surrounding demonic energy seemed to lose its support and began to dissipate rapidly. The water of the Styx River also gradually returned to calm, but the pungent mist lingered for a long time, as if telling the aftermath of this tragic battle.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were suspended in the air, looking at the gradually returning peace in the cultivation world below, and they both breathed a sigh of relief. However, they knew that this duel with the remnant of the Chaos Demon God was only the beginning, and the road ahead was still full of dangers.
"This battle is still dangerous even though we won." Yun Yao panted slightly, the light of the Hongmeng Heavenly Sword in her hand gradually faded. She turned her head to look at Chu Mochen, her eyes full of worry, "The Hongmeng turbid energy is so difficult to deal with, no one knows if there are any remnants, we need to be extra careful in the future."
Chu Mochen gently held Yun Yao's hand and gave her a comforting look. "It's okay, as long as you and I work together, we can deal with all crises." His voice was firm and powerful, as if it had a magic power that made people feel at ease.
After a short rest, the two prepared to return to the cultivation world to deal with post-war matters. However, just as they turned around, Yun Yao suddenly felt a strange wave coming from the system space. She was moved and quickly closed her eyes to check, only to see a string of mysterious runes flashing on the system panel, which seemed to indicate that something more serious was about to happen...
