Chapter 518 Supreme Showdown
The dark green gourd was a little dim at first; it suddenly became extremely bright as the Demonic Bear Emperor injected demon aura into it. It seemed as if it were made of the purest glass in the world. It shone with a crystal clear brightness, like a small sun, releasing unparalleled brilliance. It spun and began to expand.
Ding Hao was slightly surprised.
The jade gourd’s demon aura was amazing; it contained the supreme aura of a God of War.
“Ding Hao, let’s stop here. We don’t owe each other anything. I don’t want to waste a chance to activate the Sky-Devouring Magic Gourd, otherwise, no matter how talented you are, you would be absorbed by the gourd and turned into pus.” With the dark green gourd in his hand, the Demon Bear Emperor became swollen with arrogance like a Demon God.
The terrible gas burst out of the gourd and began to spread in all directions. The dark green blast, like lead clouds after nuclear explosions, pounded on the banks with rage. The golden Chinese characters flying in the surrounding void began to show signs of spreading and breaking; the surrounding blockade also became unstable.
Ding Hao became serious.
He had perfected his Chinese characters several times, especially after entering the Sage Battlefield, and he had also carefully studied those remnant ancient characters from ancient times. Under the Sabre Master and the Sword Master’s guidance, the character’s power was increased. Moreover, when he arranged the character formations, with the help of the Xuan Yuan power between heaven and earth, Ding Hao had consumed a lot of top grade mysterious crystals. Drawing support from the local terrain, the character formation was strong enough to trap strong masters at the Preliminary Martial Royal Realm.
When the dark green gourd’s blast dissipated, the gas out of the character formation showed signs of collapsing.
“Is the gourd a magic weapon?”
“No matter, no one can leave alive today.”
Ding Hao held the rusted sword with his right hand; he placed it in front of his chest, and wiped the blade with his left hand.
A layer of crystal cold frost appeared on the sword. As the Hell Ice Qi was injected, the rusted sword seemed to be psychic. It shook violently, with a strong aura awakening and gradually spreading out. The sword sound was like a dragon’s roar, and its mottled rust showed signs of flying away again!
The Demonic Bear Emperor and the others were stunned.
He didn’t want to fight against Ding Hao recklessly; not even with the supreme weapon of the Sky-Devouring Magic Gourd in his hand.
He was a little afraid of the rusted sword since he couldn’t see through it.
The dead Miluo Spider Emperor was right. If people below the Martial God and Demon God realms wanted to activate magic weapons to revive the magical power contained within—but they weren’t supreme masters of their own bloodline—the God’s blood should be running through their bodies. It was difficult to discover Ding Hao’s origin.
“Could he be the reincarnation of a god?
“Or was there a god sleeping in his body?”
He would have taken action a long time before if he didn’t fear such possibilities. He couldn’t have just taken revenge; he would have also grabbed the stone tablet map of the ancient road to the west. He had suffered a crushing defeat when he was caught off guard by Ding Hao, so that his physical body was broken; he never had the chance to activate the Sky-Devouring Magic Gourd. He had been preparing his revenge for a long time, but the rusted sword brought down his plans.
“Don’t force me. It’s still hard to say who will be killed!” The Demonic Bear Emperor restrained his desire to attack.
Ding Hao laughed and said, “Of course, I will live, and you will die!”
Before his voice had died away—
He attacked again.
Layers of sword light and air waves shot out in the air, alternating between the spring breeze touching people’s faces unavoidably, the hot waves rolling in the scorching summer sun, the bleakness of the autumn scenery, or the ice ballasts flying in the deep winter!
Following Ding Hao’s lead, the four sword intents of spring, summer, autumn and winter filled the entire cave.
All of a sudden, screams were heard.
The warriors of the Black Evil Sect and some masters of the Demon Clan were killed in an instant; they were cut like vegetables, unable to resist Ding Hao’s full attack. Ding Hao left a shadow in the void. Wherever he went, flesh and blood flew in all directions, and no enemy was left alive.
Just by relying on his physical strength alone, Ding Hao was already on par with the Half-step Martial Royal Realm. In the seventh section of the ancient road to the west, the majestic suppression force had caused many masters to walk extremely slowly… how could they keep up with Ding Hao’s speed after he unleashed his full strength?
Many masters were beheaded before they could even react!
Ding Hao’s anger erupted like a volcano, and he didn’t show an ounce of mercy.
In the blink of an eye, except for the two great Demon Royals and the coquettish women, the others had been killed by Ding Hao with the sword!
“I’m going to fight him to the death!” The Demonic Bear Emperor roared and activated the Sky-Devouring Magic Gourd with all his might.
Ding Hao’s killing intent was so strong that his moves were ruthless. He knew that the battle was inevitable.
He didn’t give in at all. The green demonic aura soared into the sky, rolling and spreading out, while a strange image could be seen behind the Bear Demon Royal. Over an endless cliff of magic soil made of bones and blood, a pair of purple moons were high in the sky. A green vine that was thousands of meters long swayed in the strong wind. On the vine, two dark green gourds were swallowing the essences of the sun and moon. One of them was hundreds of meters high, while the other was only the size of a palm…
Ding Hao didn’t say a word, and the Hell Ice Qi surged from the rusted sword.
The sound coming from the sword became louder; the rust was showing signs of falling off, allowing the crystal sword body to see the light!
Two supreme streams of aura began to spread out.
As the old saying goes, the brave will win on a narrow road!
If anyone hesitated for a second, he would be definitely killed.
The woman from the Human Clan in a fiery-red armor had a grave expression.
She distanced herself from the battlefield periphery. Her armor seemed to be alive, turning into a raging flame, directly wrapping her in it. She was like a flame that could destroy the world, releasing an absolutely powerful aura. However, it seemed that she didn’t want to take an active part in the fight, keeping a very strange and stand-and-see attitude instead.
With the Demonic Bear Emperor’s full power, the Sky-Devouring Magic Gourd’s power gradually appeared.
It rotated faster and faster, and the image behind it became clearer and clearer.
The scattered purple light came out of the gourd, radiating a supreme aura.
Although it was only a little, it was extremely frightening. The whole underground cave shook violently as if it were going to collapse at any time. The ancient rules of law composing the cave were disturbed and became unstable; a small sampling of supreme aura had such an effect. Once the remaining ancient rules of law were broken, the underground cave in the seventh section of the ancient road to the west would collapse.
Ding Hao had already activated the rusted sword with all his strength.
All the rust flakes seemed to be alive, whistling as they peeled off, whirling at a high speed like red flames and enveloping the sword. The incomparably bright and crystalline sword was exposed; it bloomed with a dazzling white light, which was soft, pure and noble.
The sword sound grew louder and louder, as if a sleeping god were slowly waking up.
The rusted sword’s aura was not in the least inferior to that of the Sky-Devouring Magic Gourd; it even had a faint tendency to suppress it.
“Little Demon with Evil Heart, if you don’t make a move now, we’ll be all killed by Human Clan guy… ” The Demonic Bear Emperor had not expected that the rusted sword was able to resist the supreme treasure of his clan. His face could not help but turn pale with fright.
He seemed unable to resist Ding Hao any longer.
To drive a supreme weapon required a vast amount of demonic power. He could barely use the Sky-Devouring Demon Gourd while uninjured; at that moment his internal injuries had yet to heal, and still, the demonic power in his body flowed like a flood coming out from a broken dam. He felt his demonic power being drained of his body, and he was about to lose control of the Sky-Devouring Demon Gourd.
The expression of the Demon Royal with Evil Heart was changing rapidly, but he knew that it was a critical moment for him, so he didn’t think twice. He gritted his teeth and roared with his only three tails spreading out. The white demon aura around him rose up. It stimulated the demon aura of his animal year. Wisps of white demon power were injected into the Sky-Devouring Demon Gourd and drove the supreme weapon together with the Demonic Bear Emperor.
“Boom!”
With the added power of another Demon Royal’s aura, the Sky-Devouring Demon Gourd’s power began to surge wildly.
The demons that were born within them began to recover as well. A terrifying power appeared.
The gourd began to tilt slowly, and streams of purple liquid immediately flowed out from the gourd’s mouth, becoming more and more powerful than the former purple splendor. The supreme aura was like demon blood, making it seem as if the supreme master were there in person. The splendor circulated and destroyed everything that came in touch with it.
The stalactites above fell one by one.
The ground cracked.
The space vortex around began to expand and shrink rapidly…
There was a sign that the underground cave was about to explode and collapse.
Ding Hao was shocked.
He activated the rusted sword with all his strength, and the rusted sword’s power had instantly reached its peak. The white brilliance was like a supreme master coming in person, which was powerful enough to crush everything in the world. Without any hesitation, he held the sword with both hands. He rose up like a flowing light and struck, unleashing his greatest strength!
The rust flakes had fallen off, but the state could only be held for five seconds. He could not wait any longer.
Otherwise, once the time passed, he would be unable to withstand the might of the supreme master’s magic weapon. He would be definitely reduced to ashes.
“Kill him!”
“Go to hell!”
The Demonic Bear Emperor and the Demon Royal with Evil Heart shouted angrily at the same time.
The two demon royals poured all their power into the Sky-Devouring Demon Gourd to drive the supreme weapon of the Demon Clan. The gourd slowly tilted in the void, and a large amount of purple light poured out of the gourd’s mouth. Like liquid, it crushed the void and quickly flowed around Ding Hao!
“Cut it open for me!”
Shouting, Ding Hao moved faster, waving his sword.
As Ding Hao chopped down, all things were cut into two parts. The terrible sword intent against the purple liquid was like a sharp knife cutting tofu. With a clang, the first 15 meters of purple liquid were divided in two from the middle!
But the purple liquid was really amazing.
The rusted sword’s power that killed the Miluo Spider Royal in an instant could not evaporate the strange liquid. After being cut into two parts by the rusted sword, the liquid bypassed the rusted sword’s power and merged together behind Ding Hao. Like running water, it wrapped Ding Hao and wiggled rhythmically!
Every movement was extremely light.
However, the power it released was strong enough to instantly crush a master into dust at the Martial Sage Realm.
Ding Hao held the rusted sword and rushed forward crazily. The supreme aura emitted by the sword turned into a jade-like white light shield, enveloping his whole body and expelling the terrible liquid’s creeping force.
“Chi-chi-chi!”
The crystal sword went forward crazily, continuously separating the purple liquid.
However, the closer he got to the two demon royals, the greater the resistance he encountered.
In the beginning, Ding Hao was almost as fast as an arrow, but he gradually slowed down as he rushed forward. The purple liquid continued to wriggle, becoming thicker. Like a swamp, Ding Hao fell into the liquid. The rusted sword’s splendor was becoming brighter, but it was blocked…
The entire underground cave was shaking and collapsing wildly.
“Cut!”
Ding Hao roared, bursting out all his strength.
In the twinkling of an eye, he had pushed forward another ten meters.
He was only less than two meters away from the two demon royals.
The rusted sword trembled wildly, and inside it, there seemed to be a god that was about to recover, emitting a vigorous and uncontrollable power.
However, the Demonic Bear Emperor and the Demon Royal with Evil Heart’s expressions changed rapidly. They knew that they were at a critical moment. So they risked their lives to activate the full power of the Sky-Devouring Magic Gourd at all costs. They were completely burning their own life demon splendor, directly consuming their vitality!
The Sky-Devouring Demon Gourd became more terrifying as it released an endless amount of aura.
Its two shells were inclined more than 80 degrees to the ground, and more purple liquid poured out crazily. It was just like a great river flowing from the inside, forming a wave that devoured the sky and the earth. Everything it came in contact with was refined into nothingness, turning into the purple liquid’s nourishment!
Ding Hao was gradually trapped by it.
“Oh no, the time is almost up…” Ding Hao felt depressed.
The rusted sword’s recovery could only last for five seconds. Once the time was up, it would immediately lose its supreme power. At that time, it would be difficult for Ding Hao to resist the Sky-Devouring Demon Gourd’s power.
“Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!”
The crystal sword trembled in a slower frequency.
The rust flakes were still like flames swirling around the sword fell off, but they brightness started to dim. Just as the rust flakes were about to return to the sword, the magic power contained in the sword seemed to have given up its resurrection and its aura began to weaken!
“Hahaha, he’s dead now, he’s dead now!” The Demonic Bear Emperor’s eyes were so sharp that he immediately noticed change in Ding Hao’s strength.
“Hahaha, I knew it! The magic sword’s recovery has a time limit…” The Demon Royal with Evil Heart laughed and said, “Old bear demon, you have the Sky-Devouring Demon Gourd. Kill this guy, and I get to keep the magic sword!”
As he spoke.
More than half of the rust flakes had been restored, and the rest were also returning.
The rusted sword’s power weakened like an ebbing tide.
With the change in strength, the purple liquid began to fight back crazily.
In the blink of an eye, Ding Hao was enveloped in it.
While still being covered by the last bit of supreme strength, Ding Hao had yet to be attacked by the direct creeping power, but he was already feeling suffocated. All his bones made cracking sounds. He couldn’t bear the heavy pressure and was about to crack…
“Hahaha, my little sweetheart, it seems that today’s the day you die. You might feel disappointed since you’ll be killed by the Demon Clan… so, this sister will send you off. No need to thank me!”
The female martial warrior of the Human Clan had remained silent all the time, but she laughed tenderly right then.
She had a cruel look. With a flash, she struck out with her palm. The fire power turned into a sharp sword. It was so sharp that it could barely break through the purple liquid and directly stabbed at Ding Hao’s back.
A three pronged attack.
A fatal killing!
