Chapter 800 – Demon General
"Kill it! Kill it! Kill it!"
The crowds’ cheering was so loud that it shook the platform Yuan was standing on, and he swallowed nervously.
"What a rowdy bunch... Don’t you agree, human?" A cold voice suddenly resounded.
Yuan turned to look at the demon that’d just spoken.
’They can speak? The last one remained silent for the whole fight...’ Yuan thought to himself.
"Are you a mute or something?" The demon raised its eyebrows at Yuan when he didn’t respond.
"If I wanted to have a conversation with a demon, I wouldn’t be here."
"Fair enough." The demon smiled at Yuan’s words.
Yuan suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, and he instinctively raised the Empyrean Overlord over his head.
The very next second, Yuan could feel something heavy slamming into his sword. It was so sudden that it actually brought Yuan to his knees.
"W-What the hell is going on?" Yuan was baffled by the situation.
He could still see the demon standing on the other side of the platform, and there was nothing in front or around him, so what is the demon using to attack him?
’If I cannot see it with my bare eyes, then I have to use my divine sense!’
Yuan quickly activated his divine sense, and sure enough, he could see a translucent claw on top of him.
’This is... Qi Manifestation!’
He immediately recognized what the demon was doing, but he was still surprised by it.
The demon was only a Spirit Lord just like him, but its Qi Manifestation was multiple times stronger than his own.
"Ha!"
Yuan eventually stood back up and swung his sword, destroying the demon’s Qi Manifestation.
However, the moment Yuan destroyed the invisible claw, the demon summoned another one— then another.
Boom!
Yuan used his movement technique to dodge the claws.
’Demons basically have unlimited spiritual energy, so it will be able to continue attacking me until I run out of spiritual energy. I need to think of something...’
Yuan pondered for a strategy as he continued to dodge the demon’s invisible attacks.
As for the Demon General, it was just standing at the edge of the platform with a calm smile on its face, clearly not planning on dirtying its own hand.
Suddenly, an outburst of demon sealing aura exploded from Yuan’s body, creating a profound ripple that swept the platform.
When the ripple touched the Demon General’s spiritual energy, it immediately dispersed like smoke.
"Not bad." The Demon General said.
"I am not finished!"
Yuan quickly gathered as much spiritual energy as he could within a second before releasing the Heaven Splitting Sword Strike at the demon.
When the Demon General saw the Heaven Splitting Sword Strike, its initial thought was to just block it with its body, since it could just recover.
However, it suddenly sensed a dreadful feeling coming from the Heaven Splitting Sword Strike, forcing it to move from its spot to dodge the strike.
The Heaven Splitting Sword Strike barely missed the Demon General and crashed into the spectators’ area, killing thousands of spectators.
Of course, since this was just an illusion, the destroyed areas would restore itself, and the dead spectators would come back to life a few moments later.
After dodging the Heaven Spitting Sword Strike, the Demon General looked at Yuan with a look of surprise on its face.
"You... imbued your demon sealing aura into another technique? Are you really just a Spirit Lord?"
Right before he released the Heaven Splitting Sword Strike, Yuan infused some of his demon sealing aura into the technique, which essentially turned the Heaven Splitting Sword Strike into a demon sealing technique!
However, this is a technique that only high-ranking demon sealers learn and not something a mere Advance Demon Sealer could achieve.
’I-It actually worked?’ Yuan was as surprised as the Demon General, as he was only testing his theory.
He figured that if demon sealing aura is what really harms demons, he could probably enhance his regular techniques with his demon sealing aura, making them demon sealing techniques. This could essentially turn any technique out there into a demon sealing technique.
However, Yuan was unaware that in order to achieve such a feat, one would normally have to train for hundreds of years and the reason he was able to do it was due to his past experience.
"Hahaha! Things are finally starting to get interesting! Entertain me some more, human!" The Demon General laughed in a chilling manner.
[Heavenly Domain!]
Yuan activated Heavenly Domain when the demon started running at him.
The Demon General’s movement suddenly became sluggish, as Yuan had enhanced the Heavenly Domain with his demon sealing aura.
"Not bad! Not bad at all! However, you’ll need much more than that if you want to defeat me, a Demon General!"
[Ten Thousand Ghost Blades!]
Yuan activated his newfound technique, cloning the Starry Abyss until there were a thousand of them.
The Demon General was at a loss for words when it was suddenly surrounded by a thousand daggers that looked identical to each other.
"Go!"
Yuan flicked his sleeves, commanding the thousand-strong army of Starry Abyss to rain down upon the Demon General.
Of course, these Starry Abyss had all been imbued with his demon sealing aura, so each of these daggers was akin to a demon sealing technique.
The Demon General wanted to run, but there was nowhere to run, so it could only defend the attack head-on.
The Demon General used its Qi Manifestation and body to deflect the Starry Abyss.
Although it managed to destroy a few dozen Starry Abyss, the Demon General eventually became overwhelmed, especially since Yuan could always make more.
"AAAAAH!"
The Demon General released a deafening roar when it realized that it could not defeat Yuan’s thousand Starry Abyss, and the very next moment, a thousand holes opened up in the Demon General’s body, looking like a porcupine with a thousand daggers stabbed into its body.
"Congratulations, you have managed to pass the second floor in... 13 minutes. It’s a new record.." The Divine Paragon’s voice resounded a moment later.
