Chapter 19: Slaughter

"Damn it." The Lord of All Demons' expression changed. His body moved like a gust of wind, and he swiftly chased after the black-robed Ji Ning. He knew well the power of Ji Ning's true body—it was comparable to a top-grade先天 spirit treasure and was essentially invulnerable. In contrast, this second incarnation was a qi refiner, and its body was the most fragile.

"Go."

The black-robed Ji Ning turned his head and looked coldly.

Swish, swish, swish.

Three sword beams flew out from between his brows, each ghostly and surpassing the limits of the Heavenly Dao. They circled around him, intercepting the Lord of All Demons.

"Oh?" The Lord of All Demons tried a few times and found it troublesome. A First-Class Ancestral Immortal controlling Chaos Godswords, and Ji Ning's speed had long surpassed the limits of the Heavenly Dao... It was like a circle: Ji Ning was at the center, and his three divine swords only needed to intercept a small area around him, while the Lord of All Demons had to invade from the outer circumference, requiring him to be much faster than the Chaos Godswords. And there were three of them!

The most disgusting part was—

The thirty-six All-Heavens Snowlotuses drifted around, their cold currents affecting the Lord of All Demons as well. Even at his peak, it was difficult for him to break through under these conditions. In fact, Ji Ning hadn't even used his 'Black Cloud Chain' yet; once deployed, it could seal the surroundings airtight.

"Where did this set of divine swords come from? Such terrifying power." The Lord of All Demons tried several times and felt the sharpness of the swords.

Swish.

He couldn't stop the black-robed Ji Ning, who continued to charge toward Demonhand Dao Ancestor.

The white-robed Ji Ning also transformed into a nine-cornered electric serpent and charged over.

"I can only stop his true body." The Lord of All Demons quickly chased after the white-robed Ji Ning riding the nine-cornered electric serpent. The distance between them was vast, but it visibly shrank. Before the white-robed Ji Ning could reach Ink Bamboo Dao Ancestor, the Lord of All Demons intercepted him again.

"You can't stop me," Ji Ning sneered. "Your Undying Sect has lost this time."

The Lord of All Demons sighed inwardly. Yes, after discovering that the Nuwa Camp had revealed such terrifying strength, he had tried everything, even splitting his divine body in two to intercept the fastest—Suirenshi and Ji Ning. But in the end, he was still one step behind. Ji Ning had another incarnation, a fearsome one with the combat power of a top-tier Ancestral God!

This incarnation was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The Undying Sect could no longer squeeze out any other power to resist...

"Retreat now?" The thought crossed the Lord of All Demons' mind.

If they retreated en masse now, though he was fast, he would need to rescue them one by one, which took time. The Nuwa Camp would take advantage of the chaos to kill, and the Undying Sect would certainly lose a batch of immortals and demons... but probably only a small portion. If they delayed further, the death toll would be even greater.

"Not yet."

"The forces behind all this haven't revealed themselves yet." The Lord of All Demons thought to himself.

The source of this great calamity had yet to be uncovered. The Chaos alien 'Cicada Great Demon' had made no major moves; everything was strange. The Lord of All Demons wanted to see more.

...

"Boom~~~"

In the midst of the fierce battle between the Dao Ancestors and the armies of Celestial Immortals and True Immortals, one of the Undying Sect's 'Boundless Demon God Formations' collapsed. The three True Gods and 3,900 Celestial Immortals commanding it fell into chaos. Naturally, the Nuwa Camp took the opportunity to slaughter!

Once a formation collapsed, it was a massacre.

The longer this final battle lasted, the more mighty figures, Celestial Immortals, and True Immortals would die.

...

"Die." The black-robed Ji Ning gazed into the distance.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Two ice-crystal divine swords and one golden divine sword, arranged like a 'pin' character, swiftly flew toward the distant Blood Crow Demon Ancestor and Demonhand Dao Ancestor, who were locked in battle with Buddha Tathagata. As the three swords flew, the divine patterns on their blades began to emerge and rapidly change, merging like mist into a single semi-transparent golden divine sword.

As this semi-transparent golden divine sword emerged, its faint sword aura spread for millions of miles, startling the entire battlefield.

Such sharpness, such might.

It was fully comparable to Lord Sanqing's Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation! Lord Sanqing's formation had put even the defensive-specialist Ancestral God Huanmu Master under immense pressure. Ji Ning's 'Three Ultimate Sword Formation' was now aimed directly at Blood Crow Demon Ancestor and Demonhand Dao Ancestor.

"Not good, retreat!" Blood Crow Demon Ancestor and Demonhand Dao Ancestor's expressions changed drastically. They too saw that Ji Ning was targeting them directly.

"Don't even think about leaving." Buddha Tathagata's palm descended, trying to block them.

But Blood Crow Demon Ancestor and Demonhand Dao Ancestor cared about nothing else. Seeing the might of the Three Ultimate Sword Formation in the distance, they lost all will to resist. In the entire battlefield, the most ferocious offensive forces were Lord Sanqing's Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, leading the 'Nuwa Heaven-Mending Formation,' and now this terrifying unknown sword formation unleashed by the black-robed Ji Ning.

"Flee separately." Blood Crow Demon Ancestor and Demonhand Dao Ancestor instantly split into three directions. Blood Crow Demon Ancestor's true body and incarnation also scattered completely.

Swish.

The semi-transparent golden divine sword directly chased after Demonhand Dao Ancestor! To uproot the weeds, one must remove the roots. Demonhand Dao Ancestor had no incarnation; killing her meant true death.

"Come then." Fleeing, Demonhand Dao Ancestor realized she couldn't outrun that terrifying divine sword. She turned around, her face calm, gazing at the sword light that traversed the void.

Dressed in purple, with a peerlessly beautiful face, she looked like a celestial maiden.

Yet she was the most fearsome demon in the entire Undying Chaos World. Calmly, she raised her two pale palms to block the sword light.

"No." In the distance, the fleeing Blood Crow Demon Ancestor's expression changed.

"Demonhand." Huanmu Master also grew anxious.

The Lord of All Demons watched the scene and merely sighed softly.

...

"Pfft!"

She blocked it. Her palms, clad in Chaos treasure gloves, met the tip of the semi-transparent golden divine sword. But the incredible impact force within the sword made Demonhand Dao Ancestor's body tremble, and she involuntarily spat out a mouthful of blood. Then the transparent golden divine sword, like a ghost, whistled and slashed repeatedly.

Facing death, Demonhand Dao Ancestor struck out eight times in succession, blocking eight sword strikes. But the ninth sword light still swept across her neck, and then boundless sword light swept through, completely destroying her body. Her body melted like snowflakes, turning to dust. The gap was too obvious.

This scene made the mighty figures of the Undying Sect on the battlefield tremble inwardly.

Was she dead?

Demonhand Dao Ancestor, that extraordinary woman who was the demon among demons in the Undying Chaos World, who had once crossed hands with Nuwa... had she just been killed?

But thinking of the sword formation Ji Ning had just displayed, every mighty figure in the Undying Sect trembled.

Too strong.

In terms of pure power, perhaps the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation could match it, maybe even be slightly stronger. But Ji Ning's 'Three Ultimate Sword Formation' was not only on the same level as the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation in power, it was also faster! This formation executed Ji Ning's sword arts, which were unmatched in the Three Realms. After 20,000 years of refinement, Ji Ning's sword arts had reached an inconceivable realm.

...

"Demon Lord, we can't hold on."

"We can't endure anymore."

The Undying Sect's luck was already weak, and their formations could draw less power from heaven and earth. With Demonhand Dao Ancestor's death and the black-robed Ji Ning unopposed, the Undying Sect's morale plummeted. Two more formations were breached, involving nine True Gods/Dao Ancestors and nearly 10,000 Celestial Immortals and True Immortals... They were mercilessly slaughtered. Ji Ning continued to chase Blood Crow Demon Ancestor, and the situation on the field worsened.

"Is this how we lose?" The Lord of All Demons truly didn't want to admit it.

He had foreseen Demonhand's death.

When he failed to stop the black-robed Ji Ning, Demonhand Dao Ancestor's fate was sealed. But the worsening situation now made the Lord of All Demons anxious.

"What is the source of this calamity?" The Lord of All Demons sensed a very faint fluctuation, and his expression suddenly changed. "This is..."

...

The Nuwa Camp's momentum was overwhelming!

They had five Ancestral Gods and Ancestral Immortals, three great clan-protecting formations, and stronger luck. Though the Undying Sect had racked their brains, winning over Source Elder and two Chaos alien Ancestral Gods... yet, after only a brief clash, the Undying Sect was already showing signs of collapse.

Buddha Tathagata, Ji Ning, and the others intended to continue their slaughter and expand their gains.

But just then...

"Hum~~~" A very faint fluctuation.

Yet every mighty figure and Celestial Immortal/True Immortal present felt it, because the fluctuation originated from the 'Heavenly Dao.' Then it rapidly grew stronger, and the Heavenly Dao of the Three Realms began to tremble.

"Trying to stop me? Three Realms, you cannot stop me!" A roar echoed throughout every corner of the Three Realms, and the Heavenly Dao governing the Three Realms trembled.
