C9 Devil Subduing Army Soul
It possessed brute strength and an indestructible body, making it the most fearsome form of attack. Ye Fann's gaze was piercing, his intent to kill sharp as a blade, as if he sought to obliterate the heavens and the earth themselves.
"Nine Circles Profound Arts!" Ye Fann's thoughts triggered the immediate activation of the technique within him. His stature grew twofold, a savage aura erupting like a tidal wave, engulfing the world. The black Devil Subduing Armor shone with an icy gleam, while his red cape billowed behind him, framing Ye Fann as an unrivaled War God.
Confronted with the oncoming Giant Rhinoceros, Ye Fann unleashed a roar that scattered the heavy clouds above. His form became a streak of light as he surged forward to meet his adversary. Ye Fann's body radiated an unceasing surge of potent energy. Raising his right arm, he channeled all his power into his fist and hurled it at the Giant Rhinoceros's skull.
Given their velocity, a million meters were traversed in a blink. Ye Fann's fist transformed into a comet, carrying the force of billions, and struck the Giant Rhinoceros's head with devastating impact. The collision was akin to a comet striking Earth, the resulting shockwave obliterating everything within a hundred-mile radius. Mountains crumbled to dust, and boulders disintegrated. The encompassed demons were annihilated, bursting into a bloody rain.
With a thunderous "Boom!" the massive body of the Giant Rhinoceros collapsed, devoid of strength. The onlooking creatures saw that a third of the Demon King's head had been blown apart, a gory mess. Even its horn, sharp as a celestial blade, was marred with cracks.
Ye Fann remained stoic, withdrawing his fist. The Giant Rhinoceros had only recently ascended to the Early Period of the Golden Immortal Stage, its cultivation level nearly matching his own. Yet, it had stagnated for five or six years, showing no progress, whereas he had achieved the Golden Immortal Stage in just one year.
Ye Fann lacked any significant Talent Divine Ability. His only assets were his brute strength and a body as resilient as a Supreme Grade Spiritual Artifact. Yet, when it comes to the Power of the Body, within his realm, few could match Ye Fann, who had mastered the complete Nine Circles Profound Arts. With the Nine Circles Profound Arts, he could shatter Supreme Grade Spiritual Artifacts with his bare hands, a feat he achieved shortly after advancing to the third circle. Over the past five or six years, Ye Fann consistently harnessed the pure spiritual energy of the Immortal Realm for his daily cultivation, while also using Chaos Energy to fortify his physique. Now, unleashing his full might in a single punch, it would be astonishing if the Giant Rhinoceros survived.
Witnessing Ye Fann's valor as he obliterated a Golden Immortal Demon King with merely two strikes, the morale of the Devil Subduing Army surged. They reaped the lives of the demon horde with a frenzy, their bloodthirsty aura thickening until it nearly materialized. After vanquishing the Golden Immortal Demon King, Ye Fann pressed on without pause. Elsewhere on Demon Mountain, three towering demonic auras erupted, their formidable presence surpassing that of the Giant Rhinoceros. Each one was a Demon King, ranking above the Middle Period of the Golden Immortal Stage.
With a swift motion, Ye Fann drew the Devil Subduing Sword and executed the Soaring Earth Golden Light technique, vanishing from sight. He raced towards the trio of Demon Kings: the Tiger Demon, the Gray Eagle King, and the Six-head Flood Dragon, who dwelled in a vast lake. The Tiger Demon was at the Middle Period of the Golden Immortal Stage, the Gray Eagle King at the Late Period, and the Six-head Flood Dragon stood at the very Peak of the Golden Immortal Stage. This Six-head Flood Dragon, carrying the blood of the Dragon Clan, had undergone a fearsome transformation, making it an exceptionally formidable adversary. Ye Fann now faced three opponents, each with a higher cultivation level than his own, thrusting him into a grueling battle.
Ye Fann was besieged by relentless attacks, quickly finding himself in a grueling battle. For hours, the fierce combat raged on until Ye Fann seized the chance to strike down a tiger demon at the Middle Period of the Golden Immortal Stage. With a swift cut, he severed its head.
Meanwhile, the ten thousand-strong Devil Subduing Formation had claimed the lives of nearly a million demons. The landscape was littered with countless severed limbs, piling up on dozens of mountains. Blood gushed forth, forming a vast river in the canyon that surged westward, transforming the area into a veritable battlefield of carnage. The air was thick with the scent of tragedy, and even the clouds above were tinged with a blood-red hue.
Suddenly, an eagle's screech pierced the air. The peak where Ye Fann stood was violently buffeted by a fierce Strong Wind. Without hesitation, he activated the Soaring Earth Golden Light and vanished from sight. Moments later, a pair of formidable eagle claws grasped the mountain, striking with the force of a blade and shattering the once towering peak into a cloud of dust.
With a thought, Ye Fann switched his Devil Subduing Sword for the God Slaying Spear. "Kill!" he bellowed, unleashing the spear's Twelve Seals and unlocking the might of a Middle Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. The Soaring Earth Golden Light burst forth once more, and the God Slaying Spear in Ye Fann's grasp grew to a colossal size, crashing down on the Green Eagle Demon King like a collapsing pillar of the heavens.
The Demon King let out a pained shriek as the impact struck, blood cascading down like a waterfall, feathers scattering across the sky. In that instant, a jade-green water pillar, thick with the stench of death, shot towards Ye Fann. He narrowly evaded, the deadly stream just grazing him before it struck the mountain behind, which stood majestically tall. Within moments, the mountain was enveloped in white mist, rapidly dissolving until it was nothing but a pool of green liquid—a sight of sheer terror. Seizing the moment, Ye Fann channeled all his might into the God Slaying Spear, ready for the next move.
The God Slaying Spear erupted in a dazzling blood-red radiance, lighting up the heavens and the earth with its brilliance. A fierce killing power surged forth. The Green Eagle Demon King, unable to adjust its position in time, had its head impaled by the spear's blood-red light. It cried out mournfully, its wings beating a few last times before it fell lifelessly to the ground.
With a heavy breath, Ye Fann felt the strain of wielding the fully unleashed God Slaying Spear, now with all twelve seals broken. Yet, the effort was worthwhile. He was now free to confront his final adversary with undivided attention: the Six-head Flood Dragon.
This colossal creature, with a body stretching over ten thousand feet, peered down at Ye Fann through its six menacing, vivid heads that emerged from the mountains and valleys. Ye Fann's prowess in battle was such that he could have vanquished the other two Demon Kings long ago, had the Six-head Flood Dragon not repeatedly thwarted him. The dragon's six heads, each capable of casting unique Talent Divine Abilities, posed the greatest threat to him. The green water pillar that had previously assaulted Ye Fann was the Heavenly Divine Water, a Talent Divine Ability from its leftmost head. Even a touch of it caused Ye Fann excruciating pain, testament to the venom's potency.
With no further hindrances, Ye Fann devoted himself to wielding his divine abilities to combat the Six-head Flood Dragon. The earth shook as Heavenly Divine Water surged from the void. In moments, a waterfall towering a hundred thousand feet high materialized behind Ye Fann, connecting heaven and earth with a thunderous roar, as if an entire ocean was unleashed.
"River Tide!" Ye Fann spared no effort. He channeled the Heaven Astral Technique, activating the Heavenly Divine Water with a cascade of whooshing sounds. The immense waterfall plummeted with such force that the very air around it vibrated, as if the sky itself had been torn asunder.
A cascade of water plummeted from an immense height, its roar thunderous and powerful.
