Chapter 105 Demon God's Arm
In mid-air, the Earth Spirit Pearl glowed faintly, scattering countless rays of light.
Instantly, the earth's essence condensed, transforming into a vast, ancient, and boundless continent, unshaken by the Heaven and Earth Furnace's absorption.
"This is... the innate spiritual treasure, the Earth Spirit Pearl!" Feng Zichen murmured as he withdrew from the Heaven and Earth Furnace.
After this pearl appeared, the Chaos Pearl within his body suddenly stirred, radiating excitement, as if trying to fly out and devour the pearl.
Clearly, this was an innate spiritual treasure formed from fragments of the Chaos Pearl, the Earth Spirit Pearl, one of the four spiritual pearls.
Moreover, after so many years of nourishment from the earth's essence, the Earth Spirit Pearl's grade had improved considerably, advancing from a high-grade innate spiritual treasure to a top-grade one, far surpassing the other three pearls.
"No rush, no rush. A duck that's already in your hand won't fly away. It'll be yours soon!"
Calming the restless Chaos Pearl, Feng Zichen looked at the demonic fetus opposite him and said,
"Oh, fellow Daoist, you've finally decided to come out. Not planning to continue playing hide-and-seek with me?"
"Kill!" The demonic fetus didn't reply, clearly having lost patience. It coldly spoke, its killing intent blazing towards Feng Zichen. Rumble!
The Innate Earth Element Array was activated, and colossal mountains rose into the sky, like sharp swords, piercing towards Feng Zichen.
Simultaneously, the boundless power of the earth surged forth, incredibly heavy, sweeping across all directions.
Wherever it passed, the Great Dao roared incessantly, the void continuously collapsed, and the chains of divine laws clanged as if about to break—a scene of cosmic apocalypse.
"Afraid of you?!"
"Chaos Array, open for me!"
Feng Zichen waved his sleeve, and auspicious clouds appeared above his head. The Chaos Pearl descended, and amidst flashes of gray light, the innate Dao diagrams unfolded one by one, combining to form a divine diagram of the Great Dao. The Chaos Array roared open.
"Hiss! Another top-grade innate spiritual treasure, you..." Within the innate earth element array, sensing the power of the Chaos Pearl, the demonic fetus was shocked and speechless for a moment.
The next moment, the two arrays collided violently, forming a terrifying shockwave. Chaotic energy and the origin of the earth splashed out, the laws of heaven and earth shattered, and the void ceased to exist.
The Chaos Array was inherently more powerful than the Innate Earth Array. Furthermore, the Chaos Array contained a superior-grade innate spiritual treasure—the Innate Earth Array.
Therefore, how could the Innate Earth Array possibly stand a chance against the Chaos Array? Before long, the Innate Earth Array was forced to retreat, shrinking into a tight ball for defense.
Hiding within the array, the Demon Embryo watched as the array trembled under the impact of the chaotic energy, on the verge of collapse. A shadow of death loomed over him, filling him with terror.
"No… I can't hide any longer! This array is too powerful. It won't be long before it breaks through the Innate Earth Array and devours me!"
Under the threat of death, the Demon Embryo's voice trembled. Knowing that hiding any longer meant certain death, he hardened his heart and decided to fight Feng Zichen to the death.
"You forced me to do this, explode!" With a furious roar, the Demonic Embryo detonated the Innate Earth Element Array, its violent power spreading outwards, shattering the entire Chaos Array.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Demonic Embryo, riding the Earth Spirit Pearl and carrying the essence of the earth, frantically fled into the earth.
He was still somewhat bewildered. Just a moment ago, he had the upper hand, firmly suppressing Feng Zichen within the earth's essence, the inheritance within his grasp.
But the next moment, everything changed. In an instant, the situation reversed, and he was being forced to retreat by Feng Zichen, his advantageous position completely gone, leaving him only able to flee for his life.
"Where do you think you're going? Stay here!" Seeing the demonic fetus trying to escape, Feng Zichen wouldn't allow it. Leaving aside past grudges, even for the sake of the Earth Spirit Pearl, he had to keep it here. As soon as he finished speaking, the five elements within Feng Zichen surged, and the Five Emperors' Great Handprint erupted forth, slamming
towards the demonic fetus with a whooshing sound. Then, he flipped his right hand, and lightning rolled, forming a lightning net that also enveloped the demonic fetus.
At the same time, he opened his mouth and let out a long roar, a dragon's cry, as runes appeared in patches, forming unique sound waves that reverberated through the void, howling forward.
"Kill!" Finally, Feng Zichen transformed into a beam of light, his terrifying aura spreading out, seemingly capable of stirring up the starry sea and pulling mountains and rivers, incredibly frightening, as he actively pounced.
Just as these divine powers were about to strike the demonic fetus, the Earth Spirit Pearl above its head spun, lowering an earth-yellow light screen that protected it.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
These supernatural powers struck the light barrier one after another, rumbling and distorting the void, even causing it to shatter.
Unfortunately, the light barrier shimmered with light, deflecting each power and firmly protecting the demonic fetus from harm.
At this moment, Feng Zichen suddenly arrived, raising the Primordial Dao Bell high, carrying an aura of annihilation, and brought it crashing down on the demonic fetus.
Clang! The Primordial Dao Bell slammed into the light barrier, countless strands of primordial energy falling, and the barrier crumbled inch by inch.
If it weren't for the Earth Spirit Pearl's sudden collision with the Primordial Dao Bell at the crucial moment, the immense recoil sending Feng Zichen flying, this blow would have shattered the demonic fetus to pieces.
"Phew, that was close!" Having hastily escaped for several miles, the demonic fetus gasped for breath, still shaken, and stopped, turning to look at Feng Zichen.
"Run! Why aren't you running anymore?"
"Could it be that you've finally remembered your arrogance as a descendant of the Chaos Demon God and want to fight me to the death?" Amidst the mocking voice, Feng Zichen increased his speed even further, charging forward with his sword.
"Die!" The demonic fetus remained silent at first, but when Feng Zichen approached, it suddenly roared ferociously, using itself as a weapon to ram into him.
Seeing that the demonic fetus was even using the light cocoon that nurtured it, Feng Zichen knew that he had been forced into a desperate situation. This move was definitely a desperate measure, and its power would undoubtedly be immense.
Putting aside his contempt, Feng Zichen calmly faced the attack. As he swung his Zichen Sword, the Daoist aura of creation swirled around it, as if the heavens and earth were being split open, as he slashed at the incoming light cocoon.
Clang!
The Zichen Sword struck the light cocoon, producing a crisp sound, like metal clashing. A tremendous recoil force came, making Feng Zichen's hand holding the sword go numb, and the Zichen Sword almost slipped from his grasp.
"What?!" Feng Zichen sheathed his Zichen Sword, clenching his right hand repeatedly until the numbness finally subsided.
"Haha, this cocoon of light is formed from the arm of a demon god! You, a mere Taiyi Golden Immortal, an ant-like being, dare to try and cut it? How utterly laughable!"
As he spoke, the cocoon of light surged with radiance, its form drastically changing into a gigantic, earth-yellow hand covered in scales, blotting out the sky and the sun, seemingly an embodiment of the Dao, its power overwhelming the primordial chaos, as it slammed towards Feng Zichen.
It was indeed the arm of the Earth Demon God.
Instantly, a violent aura soared into the sky, and a fierce, malevolent energy swept outwards.
