The so-called Ink Dot Realm and Seed Lotus Realm, though separated by only one boundary, are vastly different.
In the Seven Boundaries of Martial Dao, the first three boundaries are for tempering bones and strengthening the Physical Body, which is the limit for mortals.
They are also known as the Mortal Dust Three Boundaries.
Upon reaching the Ink Dot Realm, the Martial Dao Golden Core uses the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Seal to produce an Ink Mark, causing True Qi to become vast like the sea, signifying mastery over the usage of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
But the Seed Lotus Realm is different.
True Qi liquefies, and the Dao Seed takes root.
Neither the quality nor the quantity of True Qi can be compared to that of the Dianmo Realm.
Boom—!!!
The river water exploded.
Jiang Yuechu trod upon the waves, showing no hesitation.
But the closer she got to that colossal creature, the more intense the suffocating pressure became.
Unlike the Ink Dot Realm Great Demons she had faced before.
The River-Flipping Demon King before her felt like a collapsing mountain peak.
"Roar—!!!"
The Demon King roared wildly.
Facing the combined attack of the two, the beast, currently in a state of frenzied escape, didn't even consider dodging.
Why bother with ants trying to shake a tree?
Clang—!!!
The Dark Gold Great Spear fiercely stabbed the Demon King's body.
Sparks flew everywhere, the sound like a great bell or chime.
Yue Huaiyuan felt a violent tremor in the web between his thumb and forefinger, and his expression changed.
A terrifying force surged back along the shaft of the spear.
Crack!
The spear shaft bent, showing faint signs of cracking.
"Stop... damn you!!!"
The old general's hair stood on end, his eyes were bloodshot, and the Azure Dragon Phantom behind him roared frantically.
However.
No miracle occurred.
The River-Flipping Demon King merely shook its head slightly.
Boom!
Yue Huaiyuan, man and spear included, was instantly sent flying backward.
This is a Lotus Cultivation Demon King!
The sheer strength of its Physical Body alone was enough to casually repel a Martial Artist at Perfection in the Ink Dot Realm!
"Roar—!!!"
The River-Flipping Demon King didn't spare the 'ant' a second glance.
Its massive body simply swayed casually in the water.
Rumble—!!!
The already rapid river water at Hengshan Ferry was instantly stirred up by this terrifying monstrous force.
A turbulent giant wave, dozens of zhang high, carrying the force of ten thousand jun, shot up into the sky!
For the temporary camp constructed at Hengshan Ferry, this was an offensive that human power simply could not withstand.
Hundreds of Demon Suppression Guardss tightly gripped their weapons, yet could only watch helplessly as the wall of water, bearing the pressure to crush everything, slammed down!
"It's over..."
Chen Gong's face was ashen.
How could ordinary Martial Artists withstand such a towering giant wave?!
There was no escape!
There was no avoiding it!
Just when everyone thought disaster was upon them.
Jiang Yuechu stood atop the waves, facing the overwhelming giant wave with an indifferent expression, and slowly raised her left hand.
Buzz—
The next instant.
The originally violent and destructive giant wave, dozens of zhang high, unexpectedly froze in mid-air without warning!
A hint of shock flashed in the River-Flipping Demon King's eyes.
"Hmm?"
Why?
Why did it sense the aura of a fellow aquatic overlord on this tiny Human Race member?
Before it could react.
The originally turbulent and violent river water became incredibly docile with that single raised hand.
Whoosh—
The suspended giant wave did not fall, but instead twisted and flowed in the air.
This scene was too bizarre.
It left the doomed people on the shore dumbfounded, forgetting even to breathe.
Jiang Yuechu stamped her foot.
Boom!
The river waves beneath her feet suddenly soared!
The surging river water now seemed to become her mount, lifting the dark figure, sweeping across the sky, and rushing straight towards the heavens!
"Since you've come, don't be in a hurry to leave."
Jiang Yuechu stood at the crest of the wave, looking down from above, her gentle voice making the Demon King's hair stand on end.
Clang—!!!
A deep blue radiance burst forth from the blade, instantly staining half the sky.
The chilling Qi was dense, like falling into an ice cave.
"Roar—!!!"
Sensing the threat, the River-Flipping Demon King erupted with ferocity.
It violently thrashed its body in the water, opening its huge, blood-red mouth full of fangs, and lunged to bite the girl in the air.
In any case.
The aura of the girl before it was only at the Dianmo Realm.
A mere Dianmo Realm cultivator, even with some strange methods, could she really withstand the Demon Physical Body of a Seed Lotus Demon?!
Jiang Yuechu's gaze sharpened, and the depths of her eyes turned blood-red.
Boom!
The giant wave beneath her feet exploded, transforming into countless ice crystals.
Her figure was like a falling meteor, dragging a mournful, deep blue blade light, heading straight toward that abyssal maw.
In mid-air.
The air behind the girl suddenly distorted.
Owoo—!!!
Roar—!!!
Two phantoms let out terrifying demonic roars... and it was precisely at this moment.
Three figures finally rushed forward and appeared several li outside Hengshan Ferry.
The two Mountain Gazing Realm golden robe Inspectors created two long streams of Qi in the high air, moving like meteors chasing the moon.
While below, near the water surface.
The young You Wujiang carried a long sword on his back and trod upon the waves.
As soon as they approached, the pupils of all three contracted sharply.
"That is..."
They saw a colossal creature, thirty zhang long, roaring toward the sky above the turbulent, muddy river surface.
And above that Demon.
Behind the girl, the Bear Tiger Twin Fiends coiled, and the long blade in her hand shone with cold, sharp light.
The Fierce Malevolent Qi that erupted instantly was actually more terrifying than that of the Demon King.
"This..."
You Wujiang's footwork faltered, and he nearly missed a step.
As the leader of the younger generation in Great Tang, although You Wujiang was not articulate and even suffered from social anxiety.
It didn't mean he didn't know the status of his talent within Great Tang.
Forming a Core at nineteen—an astonishing talent.
Reaching the Ink Dot Realm at twenty-three—unrivaled among his peers.
Even when facing powerhouses of the older generation, he never felt even slightly inferior.
Yet, even so... You Wujiang's throat was dry, and he subconsciously swallowed.
Even when he was at Perfection in the Ink Dot Realm, facing a Seed Lotus Realm Demon, his thoughts were focused on how to maneuver and how to save his life.
If he could stall the opponent for a moment, that would have been enough to be proud of.
Killing an enemy across boundaries?
Was this a storybook?
If it were merely a newly advanced Seed Lotus Demon, it would be fine, but this River-Flipping Demon King before them was a genuine, seasoned Seed Lotus veteran.
How dare this girl confront the enemy head-on like this?!
It wasn't just him.
Even the two Mountain Gazing Realm elders beside him, who had seen countless storms, had drastically changed expressions at this moment.
Especially Granny Liu.
Her originally kindly face was instantly covered in frost.
"Nonsense! This is utter nonsense!"
Boom—!!!
The air exploded.
Her originally hunched body erupted with unimaginable speed at this moment.
"Girl! Retreat quickly!!!"
The voice, wrapped in surging True Qi, sounded like thunder exploding.
However.
It was too late.
Everything happened in a flash of lightning.
The figure enveloped by the Bear Tiger Phantom had already plunged like a meteor, smashing violently toward the giant maw.
The wind whistled mournfully past her ears.
In mid-air, Jiang Yuechu's gaze suddenly turned cold.
Granny Liu's furious shout clearly entered her ears.
Retreat?
Jiang Yuechu was expressionless.
If she retreated now, this Seed Lotus Realm Demon would be taken over by the Mountain Gazing Realm golden robe Inspector.
At that point, neither the Demon Corpse nor the Dao Cultivation would have anything to do with her.
Thinking of this.
Not only did Jiang Yuechu not retreat, but her downward momentum accelerated even faster.
Buzz—
Vast True Qi, held back by nothing, poured entirely into the Meridians of her arms.
Pfft—
Her sleeves burst open, turning into scattered rags flying everywhere.
Black and red scales layered thickly upon her originally fair arms, instantly covering her skin.
Beneath her skin and flesh, her great tendons bulged, emitting a ringing sound.
It wasn't enough.
Facing this Seed Lotus Great Demon, relying only on this was not enough for a guaranteed one-hit kill.
The blood-red color swirled in the depths of Jiang Yuechu's eyes, and her thoughts stirred slightly.
On the Interface Panel, the hard-earned accumulated number instantly reset to zero.
[Consuming 1,300 years of Dao Cultivation]
In exchange for this.
The might of a single blade!
