Paradise of Demonic Gods Chapter 968 - Change

A flesh b.u.mp grew rapidly on the back of the black dragon Grade had turned into. It appeared a little like a human-shaped substance that kept on extending outward and struggling like someone trying to dart out from under the black dragon’s skin.

Every time that human-shaped bulge darted out a few inches more, Grade would unleash agonizing cries.

The huge dragon body was like that of a long snake, and it seethed incessantly as Grade cried out. Wherever the dragon tail swept by, smoke and dust would be sent into the air, smas.h.i.+ng over ten blocks of buildings. Countless buildings were turned into dust, and the ma.s.sive dragon body kept on cras.h.i.+ng into the ground, causing the effect of a magnitude 8 earthquake.

Edward, Priest Longmai, Hui He, and Akaryuu Juus.h.i.+rou—who had been seriously injured—watched this scene with their eyes wide open and mouths agape.

“What has happened?”

“It seems as if something is trying to dart out from his back.”

At the next moment, a soft pffft sound rang out as blood spurted out, and the scales and skin on the dragon’s back were finally torn apart. Fang Xingjian’s hands and head appeared from within.

As he darted out from the dragon’s back, Grade let out a heart-wrenching and agonizing cry. The dragon’s body appeared as if it had started convulsing, trembling as it laid on the ground. It was no longer able to struggle continuously like how it had done before.

The even more terrifying thing was that the dragon body seemed as if it had all of its water drawn out within a short period of time. It started to shrink and crack at an unbelievable rate.

Fang Xingjian gradually crawled out from the dragon’s body. He was stark naked, and the surface of his skin had a tremendous amount of unknown translucent viscous liquid on it.

Without looking at the shocked Edward and the others, Fang Xingjian clenched his fist slightly, sensing the seething powers in his body.

With the help of the powers from the Heart Sword Path, he had kept on bewitching Grade, magnifying the greed in his heart and provoking him to keep on fighting head-on with the other Commanders. Fang Xingjian then eventually took the opportunity to absorb all of Grade’s powers when he had his guard down.

‘It seems that my sword seed’s parasitic technique is successful. I can now make use of that bit of emotion in my target’s heart to throw their mental states into disorder and even disguise as the enemy’s original will to s.n.a.t.c.h their powers.

‘It’s a pity that Ulpian’s will is too strong, and it’s already at my limit to be able to throw his mental state into disorder. And this was also thanks to the fact that the path he pursues was a dead end that was impossible to reach.’

Grade’s strength was a far cry from Fang Xingjian’s. So, although he managed to absorb Grade’s powers, Fang Xingjian only managed to recover less than 10% of his original battle prowess.

However, on the current Earth, this was sufficient.

Roar!

The dried up and cracked dragon on the ground suddenly let out a huge roar as Grade opened his mouth wide, wanting to engulf Fang Xingjian. Grade’s eyes were filled with enmity.

“Mine!

“That power is all mine!

“Return it to me!”

Faced with Grade’s desperate struggles, Fang Xingjian merely turned to throw him a single glance. Just by doing so, Fang Xingjian already caused Grade’s will to tremor.

At the next moment, the greed within Grade’s body seemed to have turned into a material power that erupted out. Grade let out a world-shaking agonizing cry and instantly turned into powder, dissipating into the air.

Seeing how Grade was completely wiped out with just a single glance, the terror in the eyes of Edward and the others grew even more intense.

Fang Xingjian did not seem too concerned and only thought back of his earlier glance. It was the move from his Heart Sword Path—Heart Sword Tribulation.

This move was one that was directly activated using the opponent’s character as nourishment and then engulfing their bodies, causing their powers to riot. The stronger their emotions were, the weaker their wills would be, and the stronger their powers were, the greater the prowess would be.

Although Grade’s desires had been extremely strong, his body had been seriously injured and he had been on the verge of death. Therefore, he died straight away with a single glance from Fang Xingjian.

After casually killing Grade, Fang Xingjian’s body trembled slightly. A white gas emitted from the surface of his body, completely evaporating the viscous liquid.

Following this, he grabbed out casually, and the surrounding lights went through a series of changes. It was as if streams of light waves were pulled out directly, turning into a white robe that draped over Fang Xingjian’s body.

At the sight of this scene, Edward was terrified, but he still stepped out. “Mister, Ulpian…”

“He has failed and has already died,” Fang Xingjian replied calmly.

Although Edward, Hui He, Akaryuu Juus.h.i.+rou, and Priest Longmai had guessed that this was the outcome after seeing Fang Xingjian’s appearance, they were still stunned upon hearing the news. A hint of disbelief flashed in their eyes.

Even the powerful, mysterious, and unfathomable Ulpian had lost?

Fang Xingjian turned slightly, looked at the four of them, and said, “Hand over your rings and I won’t kill you.”

Edward and Priest Longmai frowned slightly, and an intense feeling of unwillingness flashed in Hui He’s eyes. The rings were the roots of their powers, the foundations of their cultivation. How could they possibly be willing to hand them over so easily?

Edward’s thirst of knowledge could be satisfied by modern devices. However, due to the restrictions of their characters, Priest Longmai’s desire to pursue the Dao and Hui He’s ambitions and need to rule would cause them to feel worse than being dead if they did not have their rings.

Additionally, both Hui He’s and Akaryuu Juus.h.i.+rou’s physical bodies had been destroyed. They only managed to survive by relying on their rings’ powers.

This was even more so for Akaryuu Juus.h.i.+rou’s ego and self-consciousness. His reaction was the most intense. Almost at the first instant that he heard Fang Xingjian said this, he turned into a crimson sword light, das.h.i.+ng into the sky.

“Only thinking of escaping now?” Fang Xingjian looked coldly at Akaryuu Juus.h.i.+rou who had fled. The latter had just darted out a distance of several thousand meters when he led out an agonizing cry.

A black sword mark appeared abruptly, slas.h.i.+ng Akaryuu Juus.h.i.+rou at the waist. The body of this Red Army’s leader shattered into several pieces, scattering explosively like fireworks as he died completely.

Although a large part of Fang Xingjian’s powers had been wiped out, the Divine Country Sword Realm he had recreated after the detonations still existed. It was just that a large part of its powers had been depleted and would need to recover slowly.

Additionally, a large part of the Sword Realm’s powers had been wiped out, but it still condensed all of Fang Xingjian’s top-notch sword techniques. Moreover, it had also been integrated with Fang Xingjian’s great mastery of the microscopic realm and sword arts. These were sword arts which had a great level of understanding of the heavenly thunders and terrestrial magnetism forces, the earth’s astral forces, nuclear forces, as well as forces that caused all life in the world to deteriorate.

Right now, any casual attack from the Sword Realm could be said to hold the powers of the four sword intents—Infiltrating Void, Light Pursuit, All-Conquering, and Instant sword intents. Although a large part of the Sword Realm’s powers had been wiped out, it was still sufficient to kill Akaryuu Juus.h.i.+rou instantly.

The full-power attack—which could compress s.p.a.ce, open a s.p.a.ce-time pa.s.sageway, and banish the opponent to other universes—could be said to be extremely powerful. This move was named by Fang Xingjian as the Void s.p.a.ce Sword Mark.

After killing Akaryuu Juus.h.i.+rou with a single sword attack, Edward and the other two Commanders were stunned. They then saw Fang Xingjian looking toward them and continued saying, “Don’t worry. After taking your rings, I’ll naturally impart you with another set of cultivating method.

“It’s just that from today onward, the rings and armies will all become history.”
