I Can Fix My Talent in Hundred Lives-Chapter 357 - 287: Return

Half a month’s time passed in a flash, within the borders of Jin Country on the edge of the Eastern Domain Demon Countries, mountain ranges stretched across the heavens and the earth like slumbering giants.

The mountains were shrouded in mist, yet there was an oppressive Demonic Qi, for this was the mountain gate of Jin Country’s only Nascent Soul Major Sect—the Chaotic Heaven Sect.

Suddenly, a ripple appeared in the void, and Chen Sheng’s figure slowly emerged from the disturbance, his dark robe fluttering gently in the mountain breeze.

His gaze swept over the Chaotic Heaven Sect nestled against the mountains, and information about the sect surfaced quietly in his mind.

Founded fourteen hundred years ago, now in its second generation, with the current Sect Master being the Chaotic Heaven Demon Monarch, possessing Nascent Soul Early-stage Cultivation.

A golden ray of Sword Light flashed through Chen Sheng’s eyes like a searchlight, scanning the protective Sect Protection Array of the Chaotic Heaven Sect.

Within the circulation of the Array Patterns, faint black Demonic Qi lingered at the Array Hub, forming seemingly tight yet riddled barriers.

He shook his head lightly, thinking to himself: "After passing down to the second generation, the Sect Protection Array is still just Tier Four Lower Grade?"

Even a formation of Tier Four Lower Grade, with Nascent Soul Cultivators presiding, was like paper to him.

The reason Chen Sheng did not head to the Seven Kills Saint Sect was simple: bullying the weak while fearing the strong!

After all, the Seven Kills Demon Monarch was a Late-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator and had even announced the unraveling of his Swordsmanship, naturally causing some apprehension in Chen Sheng.

Chen Sheng already had a plan in mind:

"Rather than confronting the hard bones, it’s better to first practice on these soft persimmons."

Sweeping across the surrounding countries to gather enough resources, and when the time is right, challenge the Seven Kills Demon Monarch, while honing his Swordsmanship. He had yet to face a Late-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator!

...

At this moment, in the main hall of the Chaotic Heaven Sect, the Chaotic Heaven Demon Monarch was cross-legged on a cushion, cultivating the Chaotic Heaven Demon Technique.

Demonic Qi surged around him, transforming into a Dharma Aspect hundreds of feet tall with eight arms supporting the sky, the face of which was ferocious, with each arm grasping different Demon Artifacts, exuding an oppressive aura.

The air in the hall seemed to solidify, with every surge of Demonic Qi causing the surrounding walls to tremble slightly.

Suddenly, the Chaotic Heaven Demon Monarch opened his eyes abruptly, a flash of panic crossed them.

He felt acutely that a core restriction he was mentally connected to at the Array Hub had been sliced apart like a blade, shattering instantly!

Following that, the energy within the Sect Core Region’s formation became rapidly chaotic, with the originally smooth Array Patterns dimming immediately, and the entire formation being broken in a moment!

"Not good!"

The Chaotic Heaven Demon Monarch shouted lowly, his eight-armed heaven-supporting Dharma Aspect dissipating in an instant. With a wave of his hand, an entirely black, spiked massive Treasure Halberd appeared in his grasp.

The halberd was shrouded in thick Demonic Qi, with its tip glinting with a cold, steely light.

He held the Treasure Halberd, scanning around vigilantly, his voice carrying a weightiness: "Which Daoist friend has graced the Chaotic Heaven Sect? Please reveal yourself and meet me!"

As soon as he spoke, the void outside the hall suddenly rippled slightly, with countless strands of Sword Qi converging from all directions, condensing like fireflies in the air, eventually forming a figure clad in dark clothes.

Chen Sheng hovered in mid-air, looking calmly at the Chaotic Heaven Demon Monarch inside the hall. Though his Sword Momentum was not intense, it filled the entire space with a sharp aura.

The moment the Chaotic Heaven Demon Monarch saw Chen Sheng, his heart constricted fiercely, with a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

His hand holding the Tier Four Middle Grade Spiritual Treasure Battle Halberd trembled slightly. Even though this Treasure Halberd had helped him slay countless powerful enemies, it could not bring him the slightest sense of security at this moment.

The coldness and pressure in the eyes of this person before him gave him the terror of facing a natural enemy.

Chen Sheng glanced at him, his voice sounded indifferently: "Using the title you all gave me, I am the Demon Slaying Sword Monarch."

As these words fell, the Chaotic Heaven Demon Monarch’s face turned instantly pale.

He never imagined that the Demon Slaying Sword Monarch, who had been dormant for over a hundred years, would suddenly come knocking!

Without time for further thought, a flash of light erupted from the Chaotic Heaven Demon Monarch’s Dantian, and a Nascent Soul a few inches in size flew out from his body.

The Nascent Soul wore a Magic Robe emitting a faint magical light, with a face identical to the Chaotic Heaven Demon Monarch, only minified countless times.

The Nascent Soul lightly waved its Magic Robe, and the Chaotic Heaven Demon Monarch’s Dharma Body, originally seated in the hall, shrank instantly, transforming into a stream of light and was absorbed into the Nascent Soul’s sleeve.

Immediately, the giant Treasure Halberd also shrank, landing in the hand of the Nascent Soul.

After doing all this, the Nascent Soul of the Chaotic Heaven Demon Monarch hovered in mid-air, with a cold smile on his face, and most of the fear in his heart dissipated:

"Fellow Daoist, without the Dharma Body as a means, can your sword technique, which integrates Penetration Dao Rhyme, still pose a threat to me?"

He had long learned from the Grand Demon Assembly that the Demon Slaying Sword Monarch shocked the Demon Dao with his technique of Three-Slayer Sword, the key of which was to use the Dharma Body to evoke the Penetration Dao Rhyme.

Now that he had discarded the Dharma Body, leaving only the Nascent Soul, the opponent’s killing move naturally lost its effect.

Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng was first taken aback, then laughed indifferently: "Is this the method you painstakingly devised to counter me?"

The reason he hadn’t acted directly was that he wanted to see what strategy these Demonic Cultivators would employ upon hearing his name, never expecting such a clumsy method.

He no longer bothered to waste words with the Chaotic Heaven Demon Monarch and lightly pointed with his finger.

The surrounding void instantly folded like crumpled paper, with invisible barriers emerging from all sides, forming a Heaven and Earth Net, trapping the Nascent Soul of the Chaotic Heaven Demon Monarch within.

The void continuously compressed, and the immense pressure caused the face of the Nascent Soul of the Chaotic Heaven Demon Monarch to flush red, his internal Demonic Qi becoming sluggish.

"How is it possible? In just over a hundred years, how can you possess such a formidable Void Domain?"

The Chaotic Heaven Demon Monarch was full of reluctance, his eyes filled with disbelief.

At the Grand Demon Assembly back then, he had also seen the Void Domain of the Seven Kills Demon Monarch, which could create a sense of oppression, but he was confident that with adequate preparation, there was always a slim chance to escape.

However, the Void Domain before him was like a real cage of heaven and earth. No matter how he urged his Demonic Qi to collide, he couldn’t shake it in the slightest, let alone find a gap to escape.

Not long after, a void light sphere, a few inches in size, appeared in Chen Sheng’s palm, within which the Nascent Soul of the Chaotic Heaven Demon Monarch was firmly imprisoned, unable to move.

Chen Sheng waved his hand, and a dazzling Seven Emotions Divine Light flew out from his sleeve, brushing past the Nascent Soul of the Chaotic Heaven Demon Monarch like a colorful ribbon.

Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent was lost in confusion, Chen Sheng’s Divine Sense surged into the opponent’s Consciousness Sea like a tide, quickly searching for useful information.

A moment later, Chen Sheng withdrew his Divine Sense, a knowing smile playing on his lips.

He finally understood what the so-called method of countering his sword technique was at the Grand Demon Assembly back then, as conjectured by the Seven Kills Demon Monarch.

It turned out that after breaking through to late-stage Nascent Soul, the Seven Kills Demon Monarch began to gradually touch upon the mysteries of Dao Rhyme and Dao Principles.

Recalling the scene of the Demon Slaying Sword Monarch’s technique of Three-Slayer Sword, he gradually made a guess in his heart that the Demon Slaying Sword Monarch’s talent in Sword Dao far surpassed ordinary people, and he should have comprehended some Penetration Dao Rhyme in advance, integrating it into his Sword Momentum and Swordsmanship.

However, the opponent was only at the Nascent Soul early-stage back then, with limited realm, so to fully evoke the Penetration Dao Rhyme, he most likely needed to use the Dharma Body as a medium.

As long as he abandoned the Dharma Body in time during battle, leaving only the Nascent Soul, the opponent’s sword technique would lose much of its power.

In the Seven Kills Demon Monarch’s view, the reason the Demon Slaying Sword Monarch could achieve the technique of Three-Slayer Sword back then was only because other Demonic Cultivators were unfamiliar with his methods and were caught off guard.

Although the opponent also had the record of slaying Nascent Soul cultivators, compared to a truly great late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, the opponent was far inferior.

"Guessed some parts correctly, yet also guessed some parts incorrectly."

Chen Sheng murmured in his heart. If his comprehension of Penetration Dao Rhyme had merely stayed at the beginner’s stage, the Seven Kills Demon Monarch’s guess might have had some merit.

But in reality, his understanding of the Penetration Dao Rhyme had long reached a profound level, not only condensing the rudiment of Dao Principles but even nearing perfection.

"To evoke Penetration Dao Rhyme, why need to rely on a Dharma Body? Isn’t this void an even better medium?"

Chen Sheng’s fingertip brushed across the void, and a point of Sword Light pierced through dozens of miles of void in an instant, leaving a hundreds of miles long, millimeter-sized hole in the core of the continuous mountains.

...

Time passed unconsciously.

The Demon Countries soon spread shocking news—the Demon Slaying Sword Monarch, who had been silent for over a hundred years, has returned!

Moreover, this legendary Sword Cultivator not only advanced his cultivation to mid-stage Nascent Soul but also acted more brazenly, even directly attacking the mountain gates of major Nascent Soul Grand Sects.

Within just a few months, he successively broke through the gates of five Nascent Soul Sects, slaying five Nascent Soul Demon Monarchs, including an old mid-stage Nascent Soul Monarch.

For a time, the Nascent Soul Demon Monarchs of the entire Demon Countries were in a state of panic!
