Cultivating with Bragging System-Chapter 385 - 219 Heavenly Tribulation’s Great Spectacle, Look Again! (6400 words)_2
One or two strikes would have been one thing, but rapid-fire? Who the hell could fight against that?
"Just who is this kid? He looks so young and his Realm isn’t high, yet his combat strength is so terrifying. Even a young Saint would barely compare!" The other Demon Race experts watched on, lingering fear in their eyes.
"He must die today, or he will become a great enemy of our clan in the future!" a Great Demon roared. His entire body flared with Demon Patterns, and his aura shook the heavens and the earth, causing the entire Vermilion Bird City to tremble.
A humanoid member of the Demon Race analyzed with a gleam of wisdom in his eyes, "His Primordial Spirit has split into three, each employing distinct and powerful Daoist Magic, while only his true body has remained in place... I suspect his body is his weakness!"
"Lord Lin Nu is right! The Human Race has always been physically frail, far inferior to our own. They only focus on Daoist Magic and runes. If we can strike his body, we can surely kill him with ease!" the other demons clamored in agreement. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
They could now clearly see that Wang Xiu’s face was pale, his condition clearly worse than before.
"Excellent!" Lin Nu nodded. "So, who will volunteer?"
...
...
...
The air suddenly fell quiet. The demons were silent.
The demons collectively averted their gazes, staring at an unrelated battlefield and discussing it with feigned seriousness. "Hey, look how intense that battle over there is!" "Whoa, you’re right. Whose subordinate is that?" "Looks like one of Gui Mie’s. I heard he’s having an affair with the daughter of Gui Mie’s daughter’s father. Not sure if it’s true..." "Is that so?" "Who knows?"
Clearly, no one wanted to be the first to charge. They were unwilling to gamble on whether Wang Xiu could unleash another Heavenly Calamity Curse.
Lin Nu’s face twitched, dark lines forming on his forehead as he roared in a frenzy, "All of you, attack! There’s no way he can kill all of you at once!"
He issued a direct order. The surrounding demons’ expressions changed. They were reluctant, but they couldn’t refuse the oppressive pressure from his bloodline. Gritting their teeth, they each used their own methods and descended. Some vanished directly into the void. Others became gray shadows, difficult to track as they seemingly merged with the wind. Their abilities were all extraordinary, and the fierce chaos raging below made it extremely easy to hide.
The demons easily slipped through the turmoil and closed in on Wang Xiu. Closer and closer. They could clearly see that his face was indeed pale. His aura was much weaker than before, and the fluctuations of his Mana had also diminished. Although still formidable, he no longer possessed his earlier overwhelming presence. A premonition of imminent victory bloomed in their hearts, filling them with excitement.
WHOOSH!
A demon appeared silently behind Wang Xiu. Spikes, incredibly sharp and glinting with a cold light, grew from its arms. It thrust them toward Wang Xiu’s neck like a volley of spears. This strike was so terrifyingly potent that even a Soul Travel expert would be gravely wounded on the spot.
Just then, Wang Xiu looked up. His gaze shifted, and he glanced sideways at the demon, his expression indifferent.
I’ve been discovered! The demon’s heart leaped in shock, terrified that Wang Xiu would raise a hand and unleash the Heavenly Calamity Curse.
But in the next moment, it realized Wang Xiu wasn’t dodging. Instead, he was reaching out with a bare hand.
Has this human gone mad? The demon was stunned for a moment, then inwardly overjoyed. The physical weakness of the Human Race was notorious. To meet its attack head-on was surely courting death. He must be at his limit, with no other options left! This was the only possibility it could imagine, and the savage light in its eyes intensified to an extreme.
This scene was also witnessed by the other demons who were sneaking closer. Instantly overjoyed, their killing intent surged. They all revealed their true forms as a towering wave of Demonic Qi converged, and they attacked with a variety of techniques.
"Be careful!"
"Senior Brother!"
The prodigies were all alarmed, their expressions changing drastically as they rushed to help.
Ye Guhong was already on guard by Wang Xiu’s side. Now, like a war god, he swept his Divine Spear horizontally and flung it forward. The spear erupted with golden light, skewering two Great Demons before shooting off into the distance.
But more Great Demons had closed the distance, arriving a mere hair’s breadth from Wang Xiu.
And it was at that exact moment that a scene that would chill the demons to the bone occurred.
Wang Xiu struck out with his palm. A divine light exploded from his body, his flesh appeared as if plated in gold, and runes filled the sky like a boundless sea of stars. He instantly shattered the two Great Demons before him.
The Golden Book emerged above his head. A colossal amount of energy gathered, forming a massive vortex. Divine light suffused the air within it, and countless wondrous phenomena appeared, as if a new world was being born. It voraciously devoured everything around it. The shredded bodies of the demons and their spilled Essence Blood were all swallowed by the vortex and refined into the purest life essence.
The divine light enveloping Wang Xiu grew even more intense. His once-pale face instantly regained its healthy color, and his aura surged, growing stronger and stronger, making him seem like a war god descending upon the battlefield.
"Damn it, how is his body so strong?!" a Great Demon roared in horror. It had watched as one of its companions was shattered by a single palm strike from Wang Xiu, its tough bone armor as fragile as paper.
Another Demon Race expert’s bone blade struck Wang Xiu’s back but was blocked by the golden light, then stopped by his strange armor. The blow was rendered completely ineffective.
Wang Xiu even took on a Great Demon with his bare hands, killing it with devastating ease.
"Damn it, he was fishing for us! His body isn’t his weakness, and he wasn’t pushed to his limit at all!" a Demon Race expert screamed in his final moments. He struggled in vain as his body disintegrated, transforming into pure energy that was devoured by the vortex above.
"Cunning humans! I hate you!"
"AHHH—"
...
Ji Zidian had been right. Although the Heavenly Calamity Curse was powerful, for a human to channel the Heavenly Dao placed an immense burden on the Cultivator.
