He looked as if crafted from white jade, not appearing particularly evil, but with two imposing horns on his forehead and a pitch-black Demon Silk draped across his back, gold bracelets on each hand. In the depths of his eyes was darkness as profound as the abyss, cold and unfeeling.
As he descended, the aura around him broke through the Primordial Spirit Stage, and he began to absorb the power of the Celestial Demon Star, with Demonic Qi rapidly surging.
But just at that moment, a blazing Sword Aura emerged from the depths of the void, the Sword Qi resembling blazing thunder, swiftly slashing toward the Demon Embryo within the Celestial Demon Starlight.
This was another True Monarch of Harmonization Level.
He too detected the presence of the Celestial Demon Altar in Sanyuan Town in advance and had been lying in wait here.
And it seemed he'd stumbled upon quite the 'prize'!
Zhang Jian didn't immediately choose to take action.
He decided to let the other test the abilities of this Demon Embryo a bit first.
After all, this night was when the Demon Embryo was at its weakest; as long as it doesn't escape, that's enough.
In the Celestial Demon Starlight, seeing the starlight above being shaken by the sword rain, a trace of impatience surfaced in the depths of the Demon Embryo's eyes.
"Annoying pest!"
He slowly raised his hand, and with a slight gesture, faced the charging mighty Sword Light. The blazing Sword Light crumbled,
At the same time, he raised his hand, and the Celestial Demon Star seemed to draw infinitely close, enveloping the entire Sanyuan Town area, where Demonic Qi crisscrossed, forming a grand Sub-demon Space.
"Celestial Demon Soul Erosion!"
Upon witnessing this, the True Monarch of Harmonization's face changed dramatically.
He let out a fierce shout, seven or eight Sword Lights flew out in succession, forming a Harmonization Level Primordial Spirit Immortal Technique, like a dragon soaring through the heavens, the Sword Light resembling meteors merged as one mid-air, the Sword Qi surged ninefold, fiercely slashing toward the Demon Embryo on the Celestial Demon Altar.
This power had already surpassed the limit of the Demon Embryo on the altar.
But inside Zhang Jian's East Emperor's Treasure Mirror, it's clear the Demon Embryo had a strong sense of disdain on its face.
It seemed to look down on such a 'crude' Sword Control method!
"This Outer Celestial Demon might not be ordinary!"
Zhang Jian thought to himself.
The descent of the Celestial Demon Star typically involved the execution of three over-limit Demonic Immortal Techniques.
Celestial Demon Soul Erosion, Celestial Demon Mind Erosion, and Wraith Soul Break.
Most Outer Demon Gods could perform these styles, and they did it well.
Because, just at the moment of descent, when their own Demonic Qi had not yet recovered, using the power of the Celestial Demon Star for magic was the most efficient method.
It allowed them to release the might of the Outer Celestial Demon Star to the fullest.
In Zhang Jian's eyes, the grand Sword Qi fell, but within the Sub-demon Space, its Power of Space repeatedly interfered. By the time it reached the Demon Embryo, only a chopstick-sized Sword Qi remained which the Demon Embryo easily caught between two fingers, crushing it.
"In consideration you were the first little pest to encounter this god, I'll give you a chance to become a demon!"
On the Celestial Demon Altar, the Demon Shadow formed seals with both hands at lightning speed, and moments later, substantial Demonic Light swirled around, expanding rapidly, filling the entire Sub-demon Space.
A formless Demonic Light rushed toward the True Monarch of Harmonization, attacking every pore.
That was obviously an over-limit Dao Heart type magic.
This was Celestial Demon Soul Erosion.
Visibly, the True Monarch of Harmonization was instantly filled with endless Demonic Qi, and his Dao Body began to undergo rapid demonization. Deep within his Primordial Spirit, Demonic Light emerged, while simultaneously, several strands of Purifying Immortal Light appeared deep in his Life Palace at his brow. This seemed to be a Dao Heart Defense Immortal Technique, but under the Celestial Demon Starlight that covered the sky and earth, it was quickly like a flickering candle flame.
Zhang Jian, witnessing this, sighed; he knew he had to take action.
He originally hoped to rely on this True Monarch of Harmonization to further probe the depth of this Demon Embryo.
But this was the extent of it.
After a moment's thought, Zhang Jian decided to strike the Demon hard.
In an instant, a golden light fused with his body.
The majestic King Jun Golden Man emerged, spanning a hundred feet tall.
In an instant, Yin and Yang Qi flowed around the King Jun Golden Man's body like black and white blades.
Where the Innate Tai Chi Magnetic Extinction Divine Light passed, vast portions of Sub-demon Space collapsed and even interrupted the starlight from the Celestial Demon Star above, directly shrouding the Demon Embryo on the Celestial Demon Altar, slamming down with a fierce palm.
Amidst the violent power's descent, a gleam of mystic light flashed deep within the dark pupils of the Demon Embryo on the altar, and a touch of gravity finally spread across its young face.
"Wraith Soul Break!"
Suddenly, behind him appeared a blazing black-gold light that expanded, manifesting a sky-covering massive demonic shadow. An omen of great destruction, great darkness emerged, causing many people in Sanyuan Town to suddenly faint, as if their souls had been extracted, intending to be absorbed by the Celestial Demon's Embryo.
Fortunately, the Duality Blade from the sky had already arrived.
The two collided violently, with the blazing demonic light striking the Yin Yang Blade, causing instant recoil, the Duality Blade cutting into the Demon Ship's Embryo's depths, reaching the Demon Embryo's front on the altar, only to see the golden bracelets on the Embryo's wrists fly up, transforming into two golden rays, enveloping it thoroughly.
The Duality Blade cut down, but the two golden lights crumbled successively, yet it also depleted the power of the Duality Blade entirely!
"A solidification magic technique?"
Inside the King Jun Golden Man, Zhang Jian observed this scene, his brows furrowed.
According to information provided by the Tongshan Dao Lineage, the descent of the Celestial Demon Star shouldn't involve carrying any treasures.
Because the passageway is only so large, and the power it allows is limited. If a Magical Treasure took up most of the space, the origin contained within the Demon Embryo would accordingly reduce.
