Super Divine Daoist Skill-Chapter 967 - 874: Demon Lord Zhaoque (Part 2)
This divine light surged forth, not with ferocity, but it seemed somewhat slow. However, when the surrounding Outer Celestial Demons sensed this divine light attack, it had already completely descended upon them.
Then, only the sound of ’zizi’ was heard.
Silently, not only were the attacks about to fall on him swept away, but even a large group of Outer Celestial Demons in the distance were swept away by the divine light, shattered into dust, turned into null particles, and dissipated completely.
In just this one wave, at least a thousand demons of various strengths were completely annihilated by Bai Ziyue.
"Demon King, it’s the Great Demon King from beyond!"
Piercing cries of fear erupted from the mouths of the Outer Celestial Demons, clearly terrified by Bai Ziyue’s casual strike.
"Who are you? I am the Great Sun Demon King, Zaken. I do not kill unknown people. State your name."
On the side of the Outer Celestial Demons, a powerhouse quickly stepped forward and roared.
Bai Ziyue did not understand the language of the Outer Celestial Demons, but with his strength at a certain level, he could sense the meaning behind their words through their spirit waves, so there was no language barrier between them.
Upon hearing this, Bai Ziyue smiled and said, "Unfortunately, I never remember the names of the dead."
With that, he focused his thoughts, instantly expanding his domain to encompass almost all the Outer Celestial Demons around him. Then, a flying sword unfurled like a flash of light.
Swish...
Almost instantly, it pierced through that Outer Celestial Demon who called himself the Great Sun Demon King, Zaken.
The flying sword, as if it encountered no resistance, slashed again and killed another Outer Celestial Demon of Primordial Spirit Realm level present.
And it wasn’t until this moment that Bai Ziyue’s domain power truly spread, the power surged, and the Gravity Shadow Domain descended.
Boom!
Another round of miserable howls echoed.
Except for a few Outer Celestial Demons who reached the Golden Core Realm level and had astonishing Physical Strength, thousands of Outer Celestial Demons present were instantly slaughtered by his domain power, turned into pools of meat slurry.
"With my current strength, killing these weak Outer Celestial Demons is indeed much easier."
A smug smile involuntarily appeared on Bai Ziyue’s face.
His strength was too formidable, and his domain power was equally unmatched.
Even though the Gravity Shadow Domain was only at the level of Perfect Great Divine Techniques, those at the Enlightenment Realm, Divine Realm, and even many at the Golden Core Realm level could not withstand it, being crushed into meat slurry by the gravity within the domain.
"Moreover, it is worth noting that these Outer Celestial Demons have noticeably stronger physical strength than Immortal Cultivators of the same level, so correspondingly, the soul energy gained after killing them is much greater.
Just this one wave has increased my soul energy by over four hundred million points... I can only wonder how much soul energy I’ll gain when I reach the more extensive regions where there’s likely more Outer Celestial Demons."
Bai Ziyue was exhilarated, feeling truly delighted.
In the Star Realm, because of concerns and a lack of enemies and scarcity of strong opponents, the speed at which he could gain soul energy had slowed down to such an extent that it was hard to maintain his high-intensity strength improvement.
But in the realm of Outer Celestial Demons, it’s completely different.
Especially since the moment the Star Realm and the world of Outer Celestial Demons began to border and connect, both sides were caught in a death struggle.
Any Star Realm cultivator would naturally attack upon seeing an Outer Celestial Demon to slay it.
Similarly, any demon from the world of Outer Celestial Demons would instinctively attack upon seeing a Star Realm cultivator, showing no mercy.
Therefore, Bai Ziyue could almost freely slaughter here, with no person being untouchable.
Of course, Bai Ziyue was also aware that venturing alone into this world would undoubtedly be fraught with dangers.
As they say, know thyself and know thy enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat.
Recklessly wandering could very likely lead to great peril and danger.
So soon, Bai Ziyue set his sights on the remaining Outer Celestial Demons at the late Golden Core Realm level, who were still trapped by his domain and had yet to fall.
He needed to understand the specific situation of this world as comprehensively as possible, know the strength and distribution of the surrounding powerhouses.
"In that case, I must offend you."
Thinking of this, Bai Ziyue’s face turned solemn, directly displaying a Demonic Divine Technique, Soul Search.
This method, created by demonic powerhouses, entails a Divine Technique that requires high soul strength. It also deals substantial damage to the soul of the target of the Soul Search. At worst, it can result in soul fragmentation and death... It is exceptionally cruel and ruthless.
That is why, even though Bai Ziyue had mastered this method early on, he seldom used it.
But with these Outer Celestial Demons, Bai Ziyue naturally didn’t mind, performing it individually. Then, in one movement, he shattered their souls and killed them all.
"I already knew this world was vastly expansive, at least ten times larger than the Star Realm, with countless strong powerhouses.
Yet, I hadn’t anticipated that the previous rumors still underestimated it.
This world has as many as twenty-five Divinity Transformation Realm powerhouses, and throughout history, several top powerhouses have emerged who had previously wandered beyond or not appeared for ten thousand or tens of thousands of years, causing quite a stir when they reappeared.
I’d estimate that there are at least thirty powerhouses above the Divinity Transformation Realm.
Of these, two have reached the Divinity Transformation Realm Peak Level, qualified as Supreme True Immortal Level powerhouses.
One is the Supreme Celestial Demon, cutting off the ages, maintaining dominance for a lifetime.
Another is the Ten Thousand Hands Celestial Demon, who suddenly appeared ten thousand years ago and immediately demonstrated terrifying strength that rivals that of the Supreme Celestial Demon, unrivaled and fearsome.
As for the peak powerhouses in the mid-to-late Divinity Transformation Realm, there are plenty as well."
Bai Ziyue was astonished.
Reflecting on the Desolate Ancient Realm, where there were practically no Divinity Transformation Realms, he understood profoundly the disparity between the two worlds.
"Moreover, the hierarchy among the Outer Celestial Demons is strict, with precise divisions of strength and status for each power level.
For example, demons equivalent to the Qi Refinement Stage are called Demon Servants here, with no status, easily trampled and killed. Above them are the Demon Soldiers, equivalent to the Enlightenment Realm level, and above that are Demon Generals, equivalent to the Divine Realm level, followed by Demon Marshals, equivalent to the Golden Core Realm, and Demon Kings equivalent to the Primordial Spirit Realm.
As for Divinity Transformation Realm level Outer Celestial Demons, they are typically referred to as Celestial Demons or Demon Lords.
Celestial Demons and Demon Lords are usually lords of a certain territory, occupying a significant land area. Generally, unless they want to wage a large-scale war, other Celestial Demons and Demon Lord level powerhouses won’t easily intrude into another Demon Lord’s domain."
"And the place I am in now is called the Divine Deer Mountain Range, ruled by Demon Lord Zhaoque. The territory is vast, comparable to a domain of the Star Realm.
The Great Sun Demon King Zaken I just killed is only one of the twenty-eight Demon Generals under Demon Lord Zhaoque, and he’s one of the weaker ones among the eighteen Demon Generals."
"The world here also has an extremely rapid communication network. News of my appearance in this world and the instant slaying of the Great Sun Demon King Zaken has already been transmitted swiftly.
I reckon it won’t take long for reinforcements to arrive and attempt to encircle and kill me."
...
One piece of information after another, some directly extracted from the memories of Outer Celestial Demons by Bai Ziyue, some deduced by himself from circumstances, left him slightly relieved.
Although he still didn’t know the exact realm of strength that Demon Lord Zhaoque held, he understood that the enemies he’d face in the short term would only be his opponents.
He immediately felt at ease.
Because his own strength was not inferior at all.
Especially since he created the Great Dao Unification Technique, breaking through the cosmic suppression and Great Dao blockade, his strength had truly reached the Divinity Transformation Realm level.
Even if Demon Lord Zhaoque’s realm is higher and his strength mightier, Bai Ziyue had his own trump cards to rely on, confident he wouldn’t be weaker and could retreat safely.
