My Beasts Grind Proficiency For Me-Chapter 186 - 91: Nine Nether Demon Thunder

Among the Outer Celestial Demons, the Black Heaven True Demon ranked even higher than the Moon Demon and the Three Corpses Bone Demon.

This type of Celestial Demon could condense an extremely potent Nine Nether Black Slaughter. Unlike other Celestial Demons, it wasn’t particularly susceptible to Thunder Techniques or Yang Qi. Protected by the Nine Nether Black Slaughter, it could even withstand Thunder Techniques in the Nine Heavens World.

Furthermore, while cloaked in the Nine Nether Black Slaughter, a Black Heaven True Demon’s tracks were impossible to find through ordinary means. An unprepared Cultivator, even one at the Golden Core level, would fall to its sneak attack.

A Black Heaven True Demon’s arms changed according to its Power. This particular Celestial Demon had only two arms, making it superior only to a one-armed one among its kind. Yet, very few Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the Nine Heavens World would be its match.

An ordinary Celestial Demon would be incinerated in an instant by the Celestial Yang Fire, leaving not a single trace behind.

But this Black Heaven True Demon’s aura was not weakening quickly. It could even stir its Nine Nether Black Slaughter to resist the Yang Fire.

Yang Jing held the Black Heaven True Demon high, gathered all his Qi Power, and viciously slammed it into the distance.

BOOM!

The throw was infused with Divine Power; even a Foundation Establishment Demon would likely have had all its bones shattered. Engulfed in the raging Celestial Yang Fire, the Black Heaven True Demon crashed heavily to the ground, creating a massive crater over a hundred feet wide.

In a flash of lightning, Yang Jing appeared at Iron Head’s side. He tucked Iron Head, who had returned to his human form, under his arm, retrieved the Demon-Catching Tripod, and in the next instant, used Thunder Escape to teleport beside Yinjiao.

"Master!"

Yinjiao struggled to keep his composure.

"All of you, get as far away as you can. Let your master handle this Black Heaven True Demon."

Yang Jing said to his four disciples.

"Master, please be careful!"

Chi Yu said to Yang Jing, her voice choked with tears. Of the four disciples, only she had truly sensed how terrifying the Black Heaven True Demon was.

"I will win."

Yang Jing gave Chi Yu a confident smile. The next moment, he vanished in a flash of lightning and reappeared in the sky above the Black Heaven True Demon.

At that moment, the large hole in the Black Heaven True Demon’s chest was regenerating at an astonishing speed, with an oil-black substance—the Nine Nether Black Slaughter—filling the gap.

’What a potent Great Cave True Thunder! The pain is excruciating!’

"You must have been formed from the True Blood left behind by that Divinity Transformation Level Black Heaven True Demon from long ago," Yang Jing said, his eyes glowing with a Cyan Gold Light as he stared at the Black Heaven True Demon on the ground. "If we were in the Demon Realm, I’d turn and flee the moment I saw you. But since we’re outside of it, I think I’ll see if I can dig that True Demon Blood right out of you!"

"It seems you’re quite confident in your Thunder Techniques," the Black Heaven True Demon on the ground said, tilting its head as it looked up at Yang Jing. It had been toying with them before, paying Iron Head and the others no mind, but now, it was finally getting serious.

It sensed a grave threat from Yang Jing.

The next moment, a bolt of profound, jet-black lightning erupted from the Black Heaven True Demon, striking straight for Yang Jing.

’Nine Nether Demon Thunder!’

Yang Jing rubbed his palms together, and the Five Elements True Thunder crackled to life between them.

Now, his Five Elements True Thunder was amplified by his mastery of two Great Divine Techniques—the Five Thunders and the Five Elements Great Escape. Fueled by his Foundation Establishment Stage Magical Power, its might was worlds apart from what it had been.

The four disciples had already followed Yang Jing’s command, fleeing several miles away.

Yinjiao, the most sensitive to Thunder Techniques, suddenly looked back. He sensed a terrifying eruption of Five Thunder Essence Qi from his master’s direction. The resonating Essence Qi stirred his own Magical Power into a turbulent frenzy.

The next moment, the dazzling light of roiling, Five-Colored thunder flared violently. A few seconds later, the deafening clap reached the ears of the four disciples.

The profound, jet-black Nine Nether Demon Thunder collided with the Five-Colored True Thunder. The resulting roar was clearly audible even a hundred li away.

Strictly speaking, the Five Elements True Thunder was only a Middle Grade Thunder Technique. The Nine Nether Demon Thunder was of a higher order—an Upper Grade True Thunder. Yet, as the two bolts of lightning clashed, it was the Five Elements True Thunder that held an overwhelming advantage.

The blazing Five Elements True Thunder, nearly condensed into a plasma of pure lightning, acted like a sharp sword, cleaving through the profound Nine Nether Demon Thunder that seemed poised to devour everything.

The Black Heaven True Demon’s eyes widened in disbelief.

’My Nine Nether Demon Thunder... was defeated!’

The Five Elements True Thunder was incredibly swift, and a moment’s distraction was a fatal error in Magical Combat.

In an instant, the True Thunder coalesced into a dragon and struck the Black Heaven True Demon squarely.

The Black Heaven True Demon let out its first pained shriek since leaving the Demon Realm. The lightning surged, imbued with the true essence of the Five Elements of Mutual Generation and Inhibition. In a strange phenomenon, it began to absorb the Heaven and Earth Five Elements Spiritual Qi, strengthening itself. Instead of weakening, the lightning grew even more dazzling.

With a demonic howl, the Black Heaven True Demon flared its Nine Nether Black Slaughter, dispelling the Five Elements True Thunder that was bombarding its body. Still, wisps of lightning clung to it like bone-gnawing maggots.

The next instant, a ray of Nine Nether Black Slaughter Divine Light shot straight toward Yang Jing.

The light contained the profound Demon Intent of the Nine Nether Black Slaughter. Its power was so astonishing that it could pierce an ordinary Defensive Spiritual Artifact in an instant.

Unflustered, Yang Jing instantly unleashed the Taixiao True Thunder—the fastest to conjure and fiercest of his thunder arts—blasting it at the ray of Nine Nether Black Slaughter Divine Light.

The lightning formed a violet dragon while the Divine Light became a Profound Light serpent, and the two coiled together in a tangled mass.

The Black Heaven True Demon flickered out of sight, reappearing in front of Yang Jing in the next instant. Its Nine Nether Black Slaughter coalesced into a Double-Pronged Fork, which it held tucked under its arm as it lunged for the back of Yang Jing’s heart.

With a flash of lightning, Yang Jing vanished, reappearing a hundred feet away.

A simple, ancient-looking longsword, colored crimson-gold as if forged from Sun Divine Light, appeared at his side.

Yang Jing executed a Sword Pointing gesture at the Black Heaven True Demon.

The next moment, the Flying Sword’s Tunneling Speed was so great that it became a thin golden line as it shot forward to strike.

The Black Heaven True Demon only had time to raise the Double-Pronged Fork in front of itself.

The golden line flashed. The Double-Pronged Fork was instantly sliced in two, and a long, slanted gash appeared across the Black Heaven True Demon’s chest.

A second later, it heard the rolling thunder.

’Sword Qi Thunder Sound!’

Even with the Double-Pronged Fork to block, the sword strike had nearly cleaved it in two.

Wisps of Nine Nether Black Slaughter connected the nearly severed torso, but a faint Sun True Fire on the wound prevented it from healing. Such an injury wasn’t fatal for a Celestial Demon like the Black Heaven True Demon, but the searing pain from the gash unsettled it.

’What kind of monster is this? His Thunder Technique is formidable, and his Sword Technique is just as deadly.’

A trace of fear had already taken root in the Black Heaven True Demon’s heart. It stirred its Nine Nether Black Slaughter, unleashing volley after volley of Nine Nether Black Slaughter Divine Light.

To conserve his Magical Power, Yang Jing simply took out the Golden Crow Pure Yang Mirror and countered with the Sun God’s Ray.

Instantly, golden light and Profound Light crisscrossed the sky. The blazing heat and deathly chill crushed against each other in the air, creating a continuous roar of explosions.
