Journey to the West: Treasure Vase of the Great Dao-Chapter 437 210 Desperate Struggle
Dapeng's brows furrowed tightly as his mind whirled with madness, pondering how to break the divine skills before him.
Yet, Lu Yu was unwilling to afford them much time, drawing his Sword of State and swinging it towards the horizon. Suddenly, a fierce intent to kill arose from beyond the sky, signaling the onset of a heavenly execution.
Having thoroughly assimilated the core, Lu Yu had gained complete control over the world. Hence, he combined the killing intent of the heavens with his Sword Qi to forge an even more potent force.
Endless sword light descended from the heavens, assaulting the three demons. The mighty Sword Qi rampaged across the entire mountain range, shredding countless trees and rocks into fragments with its fierce intensity.
The three demons quickly protected their bodies as Buddha Light shone brightly upon them. As the sword light slashed across their forms, the Buddha Light flickered precariously, and the three demons clenched their teeth to endure.
Flashing across Bai Xiang's mind was the scene brushed by the pale blue light from before, and suddenly, realization dawned on him. He shouted loudly, "Only by breaking this space can we unravel his divine skills."
Upon hearing this, Dapeng immediately understood. The scene from his recent escape flashed through his mind, filling him with immense regret for not having discerned the secret of this divine skill sooner.
Indeed, it wasn't their fault. The divine skill created by Lu Yu was vastly different from those known in the Three Realms today, as it was derived from his knowledge in a past life—understanding it was indeed a bit difficult for the people of this era.
Now that they had a direction, the three regained their confidence. Exchanging a glance and a roar, they each revealed their true forms; the massive Green Lion, Bai Xiang, and Dapeng Bird obscured the sky, casting dense shadows below.

With their true forms unveiled, the mighty power of the three demons wreaked havoc across the world, causing it to tremble violently—a result of the force being too overwhelming for the world to bear.
But a smile still played on Lu Yu's lips, for the three demons had yet to grasp the implications of his words.
The reason he said they were too late was that if they had thought to reach this place earlier and exerted all their might to collapse the space, they naturally could have broken through his divine skill. However, by now, he had fully assimilated the core and fused the divine skill with the world itself; to now disrupt the divine skill would mean having to destroy the world.
Furthermore, the integration of the divine skill with the world was not a mere additive effect; it was synergistic and even more entangling. The fractures in space were quickly connected by a pale blue aura, and soon the cracks created by the three demons' utmost efforts vanished without a trace.
The trio could distinctly feel that the entire world seemed to have become more robust.
Seeing this, Dapeng knew that Lu Yu was determined to keep them there. Biting his teeth without regard for the pain, he drew out the Yin Yang Qi bottle and suspended it in mid-air to resist the onslaught of sword Qi, like a violent storm.
"If this goes on, we'll all be worn to death by him," Dapeng said urgently, the previous outburst revealing to them that breaking this space probably meant destroying the entire microcosm.
Moreover, the previous blue ripples seemed to reinforce the strength of the world. Given the current situation, it seemed impossible for the three of them to break the world with their strength alone.
As they conversed, Lu Yu had already drawn his sword and arrived at their side. In stark contrast to the enormous true forms of the three demons, Lu Yu's figure seemed very thin. However, it was this seemingly frail figure that oppressively dominated them with his aura.
The treasured sword was raised, and the Sword Qi crisscrossed, slicing across the bodies of the three demons, causing them excruciating pain. It was clear that the sword in Lu Yu's hand was no ordinary item.
The Dapeng took off, hurriedly dodging Lu Yu's attacks in the mortal realm. However, within the range of Lu Yu's Divine Skills, their fates were sealed. They were destined to be struck, unable to avoid it.
The Green Lion was furious, opening its massive mouth to swallow the sky and land. Yet, with a flash, Lu Yu reappeared in the same spot, an invincible presence within this area.
A shrill scream echoed, as one of the Green Lion's arms was chopped off by Lu Yu. Blood poured down like a river from the sky, dying the entire mountain range red. A tremendous roar spread throughout the entire world.
The surviving humans and demons all heard this miserable wail. Liu Qingyun listened carefully for a while and said, "That seems to be the Green Lion's cry. So wretched, it must have been seriously injured."
To know that earlier when it was besieged by Liu Qingyun and Xiao Qi, and its face was smashed, it did not emit such a cry, one could imagine the severity of this injury.
In unbearable pain, the Green Lion's mana surged as it tried to regenerate its limb, but was shocked to discover that there seemed to be a strange force at the smooth wound, preventing it from regrowing its body.
In this moment, it realized something was amiss. The Dapeng and Bai Xiang equally saw this scene, their hearts sinking. With this development, they had to be extremely careful. If they were wounded by this treasured sword, it would likely take a long time to recover.
Bai Xiang said to the Dapeng, "I will soon activate a secret technique, using the Holy Elephant Bloodline in my body as the primer, to briefly influence the world. Seize this chance to escape. After I use the secret technique, I will fall into severe weakness and instantly lose my fighting strength."
The Dapeng nodded solemnly. He knew Bai Xiang was preparing to risk everything, for if they did not fight desperately now, they truly might perish here. The Human Sage on the opposite side was clearly relentless, determined to drive them to their death, regardless of the consequences.
But he also understood that with the Human Path in its prime, Lu Yu, as a Human Sage, already had many advantages. Although the Dapeng had a heavy responsibility, it might not necessarily make Lu Yu apprehensive. The only plan now was to fight with all his might and find that slim chance of survival.
Bai Xiang gave a skyward roar, and blood surged from his body, forming the image of a giant elephant. At this instant, Lu Yu could feel his control over the world slipping.
Seizing this opportunity, the Dapeng ignited the Yin-Yang Twin Qi bottle above his head. A tremendous explosion sounded, and the Yin and Yang energies spewed out, beginning to dissolve the world and reduce it to its origin.
The world began to fall apart, on the verge of collapse, and Lu Yu hurriedly stimulated his Divine Skills. A pale blue aura, like strands of thread, began to pull the crumbling world back together.
However, the Dapeng grasped this once-in-a-lifetime chance, grabbing the maimed Green Lion and the nearly breathless Bai Xiang and flew toward the heavens. Just then, the Little White Elephant, which once lay at Lu Yu's feet, suddenly leaped up and landed on the small elephant formed from Bai Xiang's Essence Blood. The blood-formed little elephant visibly began to shrink.
Bai Xiang, already weakened, intended to retract his Essence Blood. Seeing this scene, he roared out in despair, and the remaining Essence Blood instantly bridged space to return to his body.
In that instant, he activated the array leading to the Lion Camel Country. With a flash of light, the figures of the three demons disappeared from Lu Yu's sight.
"Killing a demon king of this realm is indeed a bit difficult," Lu Yu remarked, looking at the vanished figures.
