Chapter 180: Turned to Dust

Just as he moved 2,000 feet to the side, Meng Chuan saw the black demon core explode .

Boom!

The demon core contained the cultivation of a fourth Firmament Skydemon . The moment it exploded, everything within 1000 feet was reduced to dust . Thankfully, Zhang Yunfeng’s domain suppressed the explosion as much as possible . Otherwise, the destructive power would be much greater .

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Seven black streams of water frantically fled in all directions . Although they were slightly affected by the explosion, the impact at the explosion’s periphery was very small . The demon core’s explosion was most intense in the center .

The demon core forced them to hide far away . I even produced embodiments to aid in my retreat . Meng Chuan won’t be able to find my true body immediately . I might be able to escape . Blackwater hid in a black stream of water as he frantically fled .

You want to flee? With a thought, the white-haired elder, Zhang Yunfeng, summoned nine sword beams in the white domain . The nine sword beams pursued the seven black streams of water . Zhang Yunfeng was extremely confident . My Nine Absolute Sword Formation isn’t very powerful, but it can still destroy your embodiments .

Although he was mainly skilled in domains, he had figured out the Nine Absolute Sword Formation via his domain . The swords were condensed from Quintessential Essence . The Nine Absolutes Sword Formation also had strength close to that of a Marquis Godfiend .

What? Blackwater was alarmed .

The sword beams pursued the black streams of water . In the blink of an eye, six black streams of water dissipated . Only the black stream that hid Blackwater Palace Lord’s true body remained, slowly distorting to reveal his body .

What do I do? What do I do? Blackwater Palace Lord had detonated his demon core . His embodiments had been seen through . He reeled in anxiety . How could his speed compare to Meng Chuan’s speed?

“Skydemon, a year from today, it will be your death anniversary!” Meng Chuan quickly rushed over with Yang Fang .

Water Escape! In his panic, Blackwater Palace Lord had no other choice but to use the river to escape .

Swoosh .

He frantically rushed towards the nearest river .

Within Zhang Yunfeng’s domain, the chances of Water Escape being successful were slim, but it was Blackwater Palace Lord’s only option .

“Be careful . Blackwater Palace Lord is Blackwater lineage’s most powerful expert . He’s best at escaping in water,” warned Meng Chuan immediately via voice transmission .

“Don’t worry . ” Zhang Yunfeng was confident . “I won’t make such a mistake . ”

The nearest river was about 500 feet wide . It was a relatively wide river in the city .

Before Meng Chuan and Yang Fang arrived in front of Blackwater Palace Lord, Blackwater Palace Lord charged! His body transformed into a black stream of water as he pounced towards the raging river .

Swoosh! The river in front of him suddenly parted . Blackwater Palace Lord failed to touch the water when he jumped towards the river .

Meng Chuan was the first to catch up . A saber beam had already swept over .

Blackwater Palace Lord glared at the parted river angrily . With his remaining hand holding a Water Splitter, he barely managed to fend off Meng Chuan’s saber beam . Without his demon core, his strength dropped drastically . He found it even more difficult to deal with Meng Chuan . At that moment, he barely managed to block two strikes before lunging at the river . He even allowed Meng Chuan’s saber to stab into his thigh as he transformed into water and successfully entered the river .

I’m in . Blackwater Palace Lord plunged into the river and felt a sliver of hope . Water Escape! Escape!

With the water escape technique, his speed increased several times . But suddenly, he was astonished to discover that this half-kilometer river floated up . Furthermore, the water had been divided into 18! Some divisions were only tens of feet long, whilst the longest was roughly 300 feet long . The divided river floated in mid-air as they were split apart by Zhang Yunfeng’s domain .

The black liquid formed by Blackwater Palace Lord was hidden within one of the portions . He couldn’t escape into the other portions .

“You still wish to escape in my domain?” Zhang Yunfeng rapidly approached him with confidence in his eyes .

He diced up the segment that contained Blackwater Palace Lord, forcing Blackwater Palace Lord to reveal himself .

“Die . ” Yang Fang and Meng Chuan attacked again .

“No—” Blackwater revealed a look of despair . He had lost most of his strength after detonating his demon core . He was barely able to deal with Meng Chuan when suppressed by the domain . His lacking strength against Yang Fang didn’t need further exposition .

In two exchanges, he narrowly dodged two attacks .

Whoosh!

Blackwater Palace Lord failed to dodge the next axe swing . It swept across his waist and sliced through his body!

Blackwater Palace Lord’s upper and lower body separated .

“Freeze . ” He immediately controlled his body, making his lower and upper body fly towards one another in a bid to reconnect . With his attainments in his body cultivation, he had tenacious vitality . Unless a vital point—like the head—was struck, he wouldn’t die so easily . “Fix . ”

Zhang Yunfeng stood by the side, and with a thought, the vast white domain bound Blackwater Palace Lord’s lower and upper body, preventing them from reconnecting .

Pfft . A saber beam flashed from behind, crossing 100 feet . It pierced through the back of Blackwater Palace Lord’s head and exited from his glabella!

Blackwater Palace Lord’s eyes widened . At this moment, numerous scenes surfaced in his mind…

That night, it was raining heavily . He slaughtered his enemy’s entire family . He left corpses strewn on the ground as he laughed maniacally in the heavy rain . He eventually became a Skydemon during a competition between Skydemon Sect disciples .

Skydemons cultivated imperfect formulas . Blackwater Palace Lord forged his cultivation path through trial and error . He even forced his fellow disciples to carry out experiments, thus eliminating the incorrect methods . This allowed him to constantly grow stronger, leading to his rise as Blackwater lineage’s strongest expert .

Only when I’m alive will the world have meaning . When I’m dead! Who cares what happens!

Blackwater Palace Lord became a fourth Firmament Skydemon and one of the world’s truly powerful figures . At that moment, he yearned to stand under the sun and truly rule over countless citizens . He did not want to hide in the darkness all the time .

One day, the demons’ Imperial Lord sent the Demon Sacred Monument from beyond the heavens to the Skydemon Sect . The promise engraved on it allowed him to see hope .

Humanity would become one of the demons’ Hundred Races . Ten percent of the world’s territory would be designated to the Skydemon Sect and would rule over it forever . The Skydemon lineage would be the only cultivation system for humans . As the leader of one of the seven lineages, Blackwater Palace Lord would become one of the humans’ rulers .

He saw hope . He knew that this was his goal for the future .

Pfft .

The saber tore through Blackwater Palace Lord’s glabella .

Blackwater Palace Lord felt his body turn cold as his consciousness began to dissipate . His life finally came to an end . Following that, he felt his Essence Soul and flesh being devoured crazily . His consciousness sank into the endless darkness…

…

Mmm? When Demon Slayer pierced Blackwater Palace Lord’s head, he discovered that Demon Slayer was beginning to devour the Skydemon’s body crazily . Even his lower body was being devoured . Blood-colored waves constantly surged into Demon Slayer . Ever since he obtained Demon Slayer, apart from Demon Monarch Lion, Blackwater Palace Lord was the second person Demon Slayer took the initiative to absorb .

In just a few seconds, Blackwater Palace Lord was reduced to nothingness . He vanished from the world . All that was left were the Water Splitters and his other artifacts .

Meng Chuan, Yang Fang, and Zhang Yunfeng stood together . They stopped their forbidden Godfiend spells and watched Blackwater Palace Lord dissipate .

“He’s dead?” Yang Fang whispered softly . He still found it unbelievable despite killing Blackwater Palace Lord .

“He’s dead . My Demon Slayer completely devoured him,” said Meng Chuan .

“He’s been reduced to dust,” said Zhang Yunfeng .
