The Blade-Wielding Legend

Chapter 1638 - 831: Advent of the God (Part 2)

The "Eternal Immortal Vault" has a detailed record of it, as this demon represents disaster, having caused great floods during multiple dynasties, especially enjoying its mischief on dyke banks, leading to breached river mouths.

During Yu the Great’s flood control efforts, it was one of the main troublemakers.

Here, a strand of its Demonic Qi is unexpectedly sealed!

Li Yan’s heart trembled fiercely, and his back tensed.

If this creature escapes back to the Divine State, it would be a catastrophe.

If let to rampage freely, I’m afraid here...

Li Yan quickly turned his head, glancing at the water pond near the water mouth.

Sure enough, the waves were already surging!

Without hesitating, Li Yan promptly took out the Bing Ding Ghost Talisman.

"Earth God General, True God of Heaven and Earth. Oversee the Earth Spirits, manage shrines. Aid spells and guide Spirits, support mighty Grand Protectors. Purple-haired Demon King, Iron-faced Great Judge..."

This is the "Wen Lingguan Treasure Decree."

The Divine Transformation Technique is strong, but can only disperse the Demonic Qi, which would quickly gather again.

It seems only with the help of Wen Lingguan’s power is there a chance.

But here, deep in the sea, Li Yan is uncertain if Wen Lingguan’s might can reach, so he can only try.

Wham! Wham! Wham!

The Arm Guard Thousand Thoughts continually incites Astral Bane Energy, causing the surrounding wind to howl wildly.

As the incantation echoed, the Heaven and Earth Gang Qi around suddenly came alive.

A scorching sensation arose in the air, and the surroundings dried rapidly.

The deep-sea environment was already rich in water vapor; although one could breathe inside the turtle shell, humid cold fog pervaded, and Gang Qi clashed with the humidity, generating a "hiss" of steaming sounds.

The Thunder Fire Power brewed in the heat but could never take form.

This place is beneath the deep sea, abundant with Water Evil; thunder light only flickered momentarily in Li Yan’s palm before extinguishing, as if pinched off by an invisible hand.

Deng Huangtian’s Demonic Qi sharply perceived the danger; that black smoke-like entity twisted violently, emitting a piercing scream.

It no longer entangled with the remnants but instead transformed into a swift black smoke, charging straight towards the distant turtle shell corner where Chao Shengwan and Yakimaru were hiding!

The two had previously escaped Andre’s explosion using Blood Escape and were now panting behind a giant beast fossil.

Upon seeing this, Yakimaru’s face paled, urgently forming a Magic Seal to lay down a defense.

However, Chao Shengwan suddenly restrained her.

"Wait!"

Chao Shengwan yelled lowly, not only without fear, but a frenzied flush appeared on his face.

A Hook Jade in his arms was as cold as ice, faintly resonating with the Demonic Qi.

This Hook Jade was the Holy Object of their Sea Abyss Shrine.

The Sea Abyss Shrine, an ancient sect along the sea coasts of Kyushu, Japan, worships "Yuneng Qilu," the creation deity symbolizing the primordial sea in Japan’s creation myths.

And it was actually a strand of Demonic Qi that escaped from the Divine State long ago. Frequently causing floods in Japan, the Sea Abyss Shrine quickly grew by feeding on its fear.

However, with the Demonic Qi sealed, this shrine gradually declined.

As a descendant of the shrine, Chao Shengwan has been searching for the entrance to the Ghost God Realm to reconnect with the Evil God. At this moment, the Hook Jade’s anomaly made him ecstatically happy.

"It’s Him... it’s Yuneng Qilu!"

Chao Shengwan pushed Yakimaru aside, knelt down, raised the Hook Jade with both hands, and frantically chanted the ritual words in ancient Japanese: "O Yuneng Qilu Spirit, please take this body!"

The black smoke of Demonic Qi instantly arrived, coiling around him like a giant python, then spun in the air and flooded into his mouth.

"Hahaha, hahaha..."

At once, Chao Shengwan’s body trembled, veins twisted on his skin, muscles bulged, and his eyes rolled back, his mouth emitting inhuman laughter.

He was now completely insane, elated to be chosen by the god.

However, Deng Huangtian is an Ancient Demon God, inherently greedy, with a fondness for consuming brains, and wouldn’t miss the live prey presented.

The black smoke drilled in and out of Chao Shengwan’s seven orifices, producing a horrifying scene.

He screamed miserably, veins bulging on his forehead, as if countless insects were writhing under his skin.

Yakimaru recoiled in terror, instinctively using the Witchcraft to form seals and protect herself: "Master Chao Shengwan, this is an evil demon! Wake..."

Before she could finish, Chao Shengwan suddenly lifted his head, both eyes becoming double-pupiled.

His head twisted grotesquely, then lunged at Witchess Yakimaru.

"No!"

Yakimaru screamed, her waist’s Shenle Bell shattered, as she staggered back.

Li Yan stood watching coldly, mind increasingly anxious.

With the Demonic Qi possessed him, it could interrupt his spells.

If Wen Lingguan cannot be summoned, he might have to retreat first.

Using the North Emperor Mysterious Water Escape to return to the ship and find another way.

Predictably, after scaring off Witchess Yakimaru, the possessed Chao Shengwan didn’t pursue further but twisted his body and lunged at Li Yan.

As he passed, fossils shattered, and a fishy wind hit the face.

Enough...

Li Yan, helpless, was already prepared to interrupt the spells and flee.

At this critical moment, a sudden anomaly occurred!

The previously silent cavern suddenly howled with wind, an irresistible force converged from the mysterious bone patterns on the dome.

The suffocatingly cold Water Evil was instantly torn apart, and dense thunderclouds formed out of thin air, with low thunder rolling in the enclosed space.

Next, fiery red flames erupted like a dancing dragon and serpent, mingling and clashing with blinding silver-white arcs!

"Boom—!"

Countless furious bolts of Thunder Fire fell, like divine punishment descending upon the world.

They varied in shape; some like burning meteors with destructive trails, others coalescing into rotating balls of flame and electricity.

Their downward trend appeared slow yet built an intensely precise wall of thunder and fire, blocking the path between Li Yan and the possessed Chao Shengwan charging forward.

"Roar—!"

Chao Shengwan, savagely charging forward, crashed unexpectedly into this heavenly net.

The wild Thunder Fire ruthlessly slammed down, instantly tearing his skin and charring him black, the stench of demon blood and burnt flesh spreading.

The fierce roar turned into a tragic, heart-rending wail.
