Chapter 1417 The Demons Gather
The winds and clouds surged, and the demonic clouds in the sky quickly dissipated, revealing that the enormous true form of the Dragon Emperor had vanished without a trace.
Although the Dragon Emperor was dead, the sky was still filled with thunderclouds, and the aura of death was terrifying.
Beneath the clouds, a purple-robed swordsman stood in mid-air, holding the Dragon Emperor's Primordial Spirit in one hand and a large, purplish-red seal shimmering with lightning in the other. His entire body was faintly radiant with golden light, so dazzling that anyone who looked at him would find it too bright to look at him for long.
I finally got my hands on the Thunder-attribute True Spirit.
Jiang Han's eyes revealed a hint of joy. With this true spirit in hand, the long-sealed sword could finally be restored to its original state.
If he's right, and that sword truly is a celestial treasure, then he will possess two flying swords of celestial treasure level.
Moreover, it was a lightning-attribute flying sword that was perfectly suited to him!
With compatible attributes, one can unleash many lightning-attribute sword techniques and secret arts, naturally increasing the power of their attacks.
After calming down, Jiang Han remembered something, glanced down, and flipped his hand to put the Dragon Emperor's primordial spirit into the jade box, leaving only the thunder seal.
The Dragon Emperor has already ascended to heaven, and these demon kings, who share a deep bond with him, naturally want to send them off to reunite.
"How could this happen, how could this happen..."
The suppressing power had dissipated with the death of the Dragon Emperor, but the seven demon kings remained stiff and weak, unable to move an inch.
Even though they knew perfectly well that the best thing to do now was to scatter and flee without looking back, and to save as many as possible.
Or perhaps, the seven demons joined forces, risking their lives and exhausting all their resources, with a determination to die, to fight that sword cultivator to the death.
In this way, there might still be a glimmer of hope.
Despite their thoughts, after witnessing the Dragon Emperor's death, they couldn't muster the courage to fight back. Their bodies were out of control, stiffening and trembling.
The scene of the opponent just now drawing out the Dragon Emperor's primordial spirit with bare hands was tantamount to devouring their own kind in front of them. Moreover, it was the most cruel punishment of extracting the spirit and refining the body, which had already caused the demons to break down mentally.
Even the Dragon Emperor was no match for this person, so what could they do even if they fought with all their might?
Can they escape? Can they win?
The demons trembled violently, their faces deathly pale, as they looked up at the newly born emperor, awaiting his judgment.
If the other party had been willing to subdue them, perhaps they wouldn't have died.
"..."
Jiang Han ignored the demons below, but gripped the Thunder Seal tightly with his right hand, spreading his divine sense and slowly covering it.
In an instant, the seal shone with a dazzling purplish-red light.
Endless thunder roared from the seal, countless thunderclouds surged and rolled in the void, and a phantom of a thunder dragon emerged from within the seal, swirling and soaring straight into the sky, opening its mouth to let out a deafening roar.
Rumble——!
Thunder roared, and countless bolts of lightning exploded in the air. The thunder dragon soared into the sky, circled once, and then turned back to fall, circling behind Jiang Han. Its ferocious dragon head flashed with purple light. As his gaze slowly descended, it looked down at the demons below.
Thunder Dragon Prison Seal, acknowledges its master!
"What? What?! How is this possible?! How is this possible?!"
The seven demon kings were so terrified by the scene before them that their eyes bulged out, cold sweat poured down their backs, and they stared intently at the lightning seal, their hearts feeling as if they were about to explode from their chests.
"That is a celestial treasure belonging only to the Dragon Emperor, and only the Dragon Emperor can control it. Why would it recognize you as its master?!"
Even when the Dragon Emperor first acquired this treasure, it took him decades to slowly refine it.
But now, this person actually made the Thunder Seal recognize him as its master within just a few breaths of obtaining it!
Just who is this extraordinary person, and why is he so favored by the immortals?
No one answered. After a brief silence, the elephant demon asked hoarsely, "Who...who exactly are you?"
Its voice trembled, filled with heavy, suppressed breathing. Even knowing it was going to die, it still wanted to know who had killed it.
Such exceptionally talented and fortunate individuals are by no means unknown.
"you do not need to know."
Jiang Han lowered his eyes to look at the demons, and pressed the large seal down: "The Dragon Emperor is dead. You should also set off on your journey."
"Oh no! He really intends to slaughter them all!"
The demons felt a chill run down their spines and hurriedly activated their innate divine powers in an attempt to escape.
In an instant, spiritual light flashed across the earth, a violent storm arose, various colored spiritual lights flickered out, and several strange phenomena appeared one after another, unleashing a terrifying spiritual pressure.
But in the next moment.
boom!
The Thunder Seal crashed down from the sky like the heavens collapsing, unleashing an irresistible suppressive force.
In an instant, all the strange phenomena were suppressed and collapsed. The demons' bodies stiffened and froze, and then they were slammed to the ground with a loud bang.
The void solidified, the space was sealed, and the demons' bodies were pressed tightly to the ground, revealing their true forms as they struggled frantically.
No matter how wildly they thrashed their hooves and tails, turning the earth into a mess, they could not get up even a little bit, and could only lie there with their heads down, howling in despair.
The sky collapsed, accompanied by countless violently flashing lightning bolts, crashing onto the earth.
boom--!
The terrifying force was unleashed, and the demons were instantly slammed into the ground, their blood and flesh splattering everywhere.
The earth shook violently, and a huge square crater tens of thousands of feet in size appeared on the ground. A ring of giant earth and stone walls suddenly rose from the edge and spread rapidly. Countless cracks appeared on the ground, spreading out in a ferocious manner, and it went on for tens of thousands of miles before stopping.
The towering earthen and stone wall, reaching tens of thousands of feet high, quickly receded into the distance. A weak cry of pain echoed from the pit. The demons' physical bodies were indeed extraordinary; they had withstood a single blow and had not died.
Just then, the seal shrank and flew back. Jiang Han put away the seal, and his figure flashed above the pit. He slashed down with his long sword one after another!
Black and white light flashed one after another, and the blade of the Yin-Yang Immortal-Slaying Sword easily tore apart the Demon King's body, and his head rolled off one by one.
The screams quickly disappeared. The already severely injured demon king was no match for the power of the immortal sword. Blood splattered everywhere, and his broken demon body staggered and collapsed, filling the huge pit in the blink of an eye.
The precious sword is returned to its sheath.
A hand reached into the pit, slowly clenched and pulled, and one after another, primordial spirits emerged and were captured and stored away.
Jiang Han released the Sumeru Pearl, which collected all the blood of the demons' true forms. He then retrieved the pearl and placed it in front of the three city lords.
"..."
The three city lords were marveling at the benefits of the celestial treasure when suddenly a flash of purple light appeared before their eyes. Their hearts skipped a beat, and they staggered back half a step, instinctively gripping the celestial treasure tightly in their hands.
Three pairs of eyes stared intently at Jiang Han, filled with fear, apprehension, and vigilance, yet daring not to make any unnecessary movements.
A moment later, as if realizing that the other party meant no harm, and feeling that this was inappropriate, the three quickly put away their magical treasures, swallowed hard, and looked nervously at the young man in front of them.
The fact that their opponent could easily kill the Dragon Emperor in just a few moves filled them with a mixture of fear and joy, their hearts filled with complex emotions that were hard to calm down.
The fact that the other party had casually subdued the Dragon Emperor's Immortal Treasure and killed seven demon kings in the blink of an eye left the three of them parched and terrified.
I don't know if it's just my imagination, but this fellow Jiang Daoyou seems to be getting stronger every moment.
When fighting the four Vermilion Bird demons before, I had to slash them several times and kill them one by one.
It hasn't been long, and he's already able to kill a whole group with a single sword strike.
Those demon kings were no different from ordinary demon cultivators in front of him, except that they could scream a little more.
This child is truly a prodigy!
"Fellow Daoist Jiang..."
Nan Dong forced a smile and asked in a dry voice, "Excuse me, but are you really only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm?"
