Chapter 0861: Dead End

“What?!” Sensing the destructive power behind him, the Nine Li Demon Ancestor was shocked. Suddenly, a black glow surged across his body, and a black divine armor appeared. Mysterious runes emerged on the armor, forming a shimmering black barrier.
“You’re just a half-saint who’s just reached this level. Thinking of killing me? Dream on, kid!” the Nine Li Demon Ancestor roared. “I, the Nine Li Demon Ancestor, have ruled the universe for billions of years. I survived two great annihilations, and countless powerful beings have become part of my demonic soul! I’ll pull out your seven souls and six spirits, making your life worse than death!”
Huang Long sneered, “Is that so?” With that, he slammed his right palm against the shimmering black barrier, shattering it. At the same time, a flash of light appeared in his hand as the Heavenly Sacred Cauldron was summoned.
“You’ll find out if it’s a dream soon enough!” Saying this, Huang Long threw the Heavenly Sacred Cauldron with force.
The Heavenly Sacred Cauldron turned into a beam of light, and the three thousand Hongmeng Divine Beasts formed a vast ocean of chaos, which once again struck hard at the back of the Nine Li Demon Ancestor.
Having reached the level of half-saint, Huang Long’s power was far beyond what he had when he killed the great gods like Parnas. Each of the three thousand Hongmeng Divine Beasts, infused with Huang Long’s magic, matched his current strength. When they all struck at once, the Nine Li Demon Ancestor felt as though he had been hit by three thousand mountains simultaneously.
This impact shattered his shimmering black barrier completely, and the black divine armor sank deeply into his back while bulging out from his chest. His demonic blood gushed out in great quantities, causing holes to appear everywhere on the ground.
“Nine Li!” The Nine Li Demon Ancestor’s screams made the Heaven-Hating Demon Ancestor’s eyes turn red. He roared, “Huang Long, how dare you seriously injure Nine Li! You’re dead! Dead! I’ll kill you no matter where you go!” With that, he tried to fly at Huang Long for a fierce attack, but how could those two golden-horned giants let him escape?
Although both golden-horned giants only had the strength of two eras, they possessed innate divine power. After reaching the level of half-saint, their physical strength was comparable to that of three-era strongmen. Among the countless races in the universe, the golden-horned giants ranked first in terms of strength!
Under the siege of the two golden-horned giants, the Heaven-Hating Demon Ancestor could only defend himself.
After the Heavenly Sacred Cauldron sent the Nine Li Demon Ancestor flying, Huang Long ignored the Heaven-Hating Demon Ancestor’s screams. Instead, he summoned the Chaos Bell, which appeared above the flying Nine Li Demon Ancestor and struck down with force.

Jiuli the Demon Ancestor was severely damaged by the Sacred Cauldron of Heaven and Earth. His demonic blood surged within him as he prepared to unleash his most powerful attack on the Yellow Dragon to avenge its earlier strike. Unexpectedly, darkness enveloped him, and when he looked up, he saw a giant bell covering the sky.

Feeling the threat of death, Jiuli roared in fury, “Yellow Dragon, thinking you can kill me, the Demon Ancestor, is not that easy!” After roaring, his entire body was filled with demonic energy, and countless demonic souls burst forth from him.

These demonic souls were the result of Jiuli having killed countless powerful beings over billions of years, extracting their souls, refining them, and integrating them into his own demonic energy. Fed by his own demonic energy, each of these souls was extremely powerful.

Tens of millions of demonic souls erupted, emitting a deafening roar as they attacked both the Chaos Bell and the Yellow Dragon simultaneously.

The Yellow Dragon snorted coldly and, with a gesture of his finger, the Chaos Bell enlarged. A dark yellow aura enveloped an area of tens of thousands of miles, blocking the tens of millions of demonic souls before slamming down violently.

“Boom!”

The world trembled. The entire Demon God Palace crumbled piece by piece, its restrictions weakened, and the demonic sea rose with countless massive waves, killing countless demons.

Dozens of millions of demonic islands in the vicinity sank beneath the sea.

Jiuli the Demon Ancestor let out a terrifying scream, infused with immense demonic power, which made the Chaos Bell resonate loudly.

“Yellow Dragon, you wretched thing! Brother Hentian, save me!” Under the impact of the Chaos Bell, those tens of millions of demonic souls were scattered into clouds of demonic energy. His vital energy was damaged, and the Chaos Bell continued to strike, causing his body to explode.

Jiuli the Demon Ancestor had cultivated for two eras, surviving two great destructions of the world. He had used the destructive forces during these disasters to strengthen his demonic body to an terrifying extent, even stronger than the Yellow Dragon’s physical body. Yet, he was still shattered by such a supreme divine artifact as the Chaos Bell!

A semi-saintly being was close to immortality, though not truly immortal—only extremely difficult to destroy.

However, despite his body being shattered, Jiuli the Demon Ancestor was not dead!

Bright lights radiated from his mind, protecting his sea of souls.

The soul of a semi-saintly being possessed the laws of the great path, allowing it to use the primal power of the path to protect its soul.

“Hmph, even if you have the primal power of the path to protect your soul, you’re still doomed to die today!” the Yellow Dragon sneered. “You’ll be killed by me!” With that, he channeled his magical power into the Chaos Bell. The Star Array within the bell activated instantly, trapping Jiuli the Demon Ancestor within it.

To Jiuli’s despair, waves of innate star energy condensed into innate star lightning, passing through his body and striking his mind.

Under the onslaught of countless innate star thunders, the sea of the soul trembled violently as the laws of the great path shook it apart, sending waves after waves through it.
Despite being struck with full force by the Heavenly Star Array, it still couldn’t break through the defensive barriers of the laws of the great path surrounding the Soul Sea of the Nine Separations Demon Ancestor!
“Huang Long, if you kill me, the Blood Demon Sect will never spare you!” The Nine Separations Demon Ancestor roared in fury, his voice echoing through the starry sky and shaking the Demon Palace.
The Blood Demon Sect?!
Huang Long’s heart stirred. In the World of Ten Thousand Demons, there were hundreds of millions of demons and millions of demonic sects, and the Blood Demon Sect was one of the most powerful among them.
Yet Huang Long sneered, “Don’t try to scare me with the Blood Demon Sect. Today, you will die!” With that, he once again unleashed all his strength on the Chaos Bell, sending wave after wave of innate star thunders from the Heavenly Star Array into the demon body and Soul Sea, bombarding them relentlessly.
“If one strike can’t scatter your soul, I’ll do it a thousand times, ten thousand times—just to see how long you can hold on!” Killing intent flashed in Huang Long’s eyes.
The Nine Separations Demon Ancestor roared in rage, trying to reassemble his demon body, but it was shattered again and again by the innate star thunders.
Huang Long knew that even if he didn’t kill the Nine Separations Demon Ancestor, the latter would never spare him later. Instead of letting the demon return to its lair, it was better to kill it completely and refine it to boost his own strength!
On the path to becoming a sage, only by continuously improving one’s strength could one succeed; everything else was meaningless!
“Huang Long, release the Nine Separations!” At that moment, the Heaven-Hatred Demon Ancestor roared in fury. Seeing Huang Long use the Chaos Bell to bombard the Nine Separations Demon Ancestor and feeling his life force fading, he became utterly enraged.
“If you don’t release the Nine Separations, I, Heaven-Hatred, will make you suffer endless torment and make you regret it!” The Heaven-Hatred Demon Ancestor’s eyes burned with murderous intent, longing to crush Huang Long to death.
“Is that so?” Huang Long sneered. “After dealing with the Nine Separations Demon Ancestor, you still can’t escape!”
