It had to be said.
Although the Huiyue Great Sage didn't have a strong presence in Jiang Yuechu's heart,
His innate Divine Ability was indeed quite useful.
Poisonous Torrent and Evil Mist.
Taking the essence of a hundred poisons and gathering the impure Qi of heaven and earth.
On the Red Silk Demon Emperor's mangled face, purple-black mist, like a living creature with intelligence, frantically bored inward along the wounds.
The bright red granulation that had been struggling to squirm and attempt Rebirth instantly turned into a pool of foul-smelling black water once it touched this purple mist.
Not only could it not heal,
But the rotting trend was like a prairie fire, spreading from the face all the way down.
Even for the body of a great demon in the Denglou Realm,
Dealing with such poisonous mist was still considered quite troublesome.
It wanted to circulate the Demonic Qi in its body to force it out,
But how could Jiang Yuechu give it that chance?
Since she had made her move, it had to die completely.
The young girl's figure did not retreat half a step; amidst the pervasive poisonous mist, she closed in again.
Stepping down, her five fingers formed a hook, digging into the Red Silk Demon Emperor's shattered shoulder blade. With both arms exerting force, she actually dragged this massive creature like a falling meteor, slamming it hard onto the ground.
Boom—!!!
The entire mountain shook violently.
Rubble flew, and dust rose everywhere.
The huge demonic body was deeply embedded in the rock.
But it wasn't over yet.
Before the dust had even settled, a black-clad figure had already broken through like a ghost and was riding on its chest.
Jiang Yuechu's face was expressionless as she swung her fists, one after another, tirelessly smashing down like a pile driver.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!!
Flesh and blood flew, and juices splattered.
This scene made the Old Ox in the distance feel his scalp tingle and his legs tremble.
He considered himself to have seen big scenes.
In a place like the Ten Thousand Demon Great Marsh, where they ate raw meat and drank blood, what kind of ferocious demon had he not seen?
But someone like this young girl... unreasonable, without any pattern, even too lazy to use Divine Abilities or techniques.
This fighting style of just pinning the head and hammering it to death... it was truly too brutal!
Wang Ziyu, who was on the side, also felt his eyelids twitching.
Although he knew this girl's Physical Body was powerful and she followed the path of proving the Dao through strength,
He hadn't expected it to be savage to this extent.
That was the Physical Body of a Denglou great demon!
Even if he currently majored in the Primordial Spirit... how could the ferocity of a demon's body be compared to by the Human Race?
How could there be such a logic where one who had just entered Ascending the Tower could pin it down and hammer it?!
In the bottom of the pit.
The Red Silk Demon Emperor had been beaten out of shape, and even its half-human, half-bird demonic body could hardly be recognized.
There wasn't a single piece of intact flesh on its entire body.
"Die... Die..."
A sense of humiliation never felt before welled up in the Red Silk Demon Emperor's heart.
It had practiced the Dao for hundreds of thousands of years and roamed Spirit Mountain; when had it ever suffered such an insult?
Looking at it now... eighty percent of its Physical Body was going to be destroyed here... since it had reached this point,
Then it didn't want it anymore!
As a Denglou great demon, how could it not even have this much courage?!
But... it must make this person pay the price!
Boom—
Crimson flames erupted from every one of its pores.
Jiang Yuechu's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she instantly stopped her movements, shooting backward.
Almost the moment she left,
Boom—!!!
That mangled demonic body exploded with a bang.
A terrifying explosion wave swept in all directions, turning all the rocks within a radius of several hundred feet into ashes.
Amidst the rolling flames,
A crimson pillar of light soared into the sky.
"Screech!!!"
Within that pillar of light,
A completely scarlet Primordial Spirit spread its wings and emerged.
Its shape was like a crane, standing on one leg, with its entire body of feathers red as blood.
Its true form was actually a Fire Flamingo.
The Primordial Spirit floated in mid-air, its wingspan reaching a hundred feet wide, blotting out the sun.
Its eyes, burning with raging flames, stared fixedly at the figure below.
Its voice was like rolling thunder, filled with endless killing intent.
"Good, good, good... You brat, you actually managed to force this Emperor to such a state today..."
"This Emperor... how long has it been since I felt the taste of defeat..."
Before stepping into Ascending the Tower, the Red Silk Demon Emperor had followed the path of Yang Mountain.
But since entering the Denglou Realm, knowing that the Physical Body has its limits and only the Primordial Spirit can reach the divine,
Therefore, in the years that followed, it had poured almost all its energy and Heaven And Earth Treasures into this Primordial Spirit.
This was also why it was so obsessed with that twelve-colored rosy cloud silver.
Now, although it had lost its Physical Body, the feeling of freedom after the Primordial Spirit Leaving the Body gave it an illusion of breaking free from a cage.
The Physical Body was heavy, and the acupoints were blocked.
How could it compare to the Primordial Spirit, which could gather and disperse without form, and was transparent and free?
As the words fell,
The scarlet firebird shook its wings.
Its hundred-foot body, in an instant, turned into a crimson stream of light only about a zhang long.
The pressure emanating from it was several times more powerful than before.
This was the foundation of a Denglou Realm great demon.
Once the Physical Body was abandoned and the Primordial Spirit was fully activated,
Its strength would not only not weaken but, because it was free from the constraints of the Physical Body, it could exert its full strength even more recklessly.
"Die!"
The red light sliced through the sky.
Not until it was within a few zhang of Jiang Yuechu did the piercing sound of a sonic boom belatedly explode on the mountain peak.
The people on the side were so scared they didn't even dare to breathe.
They subconsciously looked toward the black-clad figure.
Only to see the young girl still standing quietly in place, her head slightly raised.
Her cold eyes reflected the flames filling the sky, but there was not a hint of fear.
"Is that all?"
The Red Silk Demon Emperor was slightly stunned.
Immediately,
A towering rage welled up in its heart.
Death is at hand, and she still dares to talk big?!
"Arrogant!"
The Red Silk Demon Emperor shouted sharply.
It said no more.
This strike,
Was nothing else but pure speed and power.
Compared to other Denglou Realm demons, it preferred this instinctive way of fighting.
"Die for me!!!"
Closer!
Even closer!
It could even clearly see the fine fluff on the girl's face,
As well as... the other party's slowly raised right hand.
Hmm?
A trace of doubt flashed through the Red Silk Demon Emperor's heart.
What did she want to do?
Could it be... she wanted to take it with her Physical Body?!
As soon as this thought popped up, it was dismissed by itself.
Impossible.
Absolutely impossible.
Unless she was a fool, she would never do something so suicidal... However,
The next moment,
Reality was like a loud slap, hitting its face hard.
The young girl clenched her five fingers into a fist.
Her arm pulled back.
Her back slightly arched.
The Qi Sea in her body surged.
The Great Dark Heaven Evil Qi instantly poured into her right arm.
Facing the whistling crimson stream of light,
One punch,
Smashed out fiercely!
Boom—!!!!!!
The clouds and mist within a ten-mile radius were instantly swept away.
The towering mountain beneath her feet even let out a wail.
Starting from the mountain peak,
A huge crack, like a winding dragon, quickly spread downward, reaching the foot of the mountain.
Countless rocks rolled down, and dust blotted out the sun.
However,
The scene of the girl's Physical Body shattering as expected did not appear.
Instead, it was the Red Silk Demon Emperor.
It only felt a terrifying force, following the fist, rampantly surging into its Primordial Spirit.
"How... how is it possible?!"
The Red Silk Demon Emperor was horrified.
Its Primordial Spirit was actually sent flying backward by this punch.
After rolling dozens of times in mid-air, it barely managed to stabilize its figure.
The originally crystal-clear and radiant Primordial Spirit body,
At this moment,
Had actually dimmed quite a bit.
The Red Silk Demon Emperor blankly raised its head, staring at the black-clad figure in the distance.
The young girl still maintained her punching posture; on the edge of her fist, except for some charred marks, not even a bit of skin was broken.
"This..."
She blocked it?
Relying on her Physical Body, she actually blocked the full-strength strike of his Primordial Spirit?!
No... he was even at a disadvantage!
This completely contradicted the common sense of cultivation!
For the world's Cultivators, whether human or demon, after entering Ascending the Tower, the Physical Body is but a boat to cross the sea.
Even for those of Yang Mountain who specialize in the Physical Body, at this stage, the hardness of the Physical Body would definitely not be comparable to a Primordial Spirit tempered by heart-materials!
This was why in a life-and-death battle between Ascending the Tower, the key to victory or defeat was the Primordial Spirit.
A Physical Body fighting a Primordial Spirit was no different from an egg hitting a rock.
But this scene before its eyes... The Red Silk Demon Emperor's thoughts turned rapidly, trying to find a reasonable explanation.
Unless... unless this crazy girl was a complete idiot.
After entering the Denglou Realm, she still stubbornly only polished her Physical Body and completely gave up on the cultivation of the Primordial Spirit!
But this simply didn't make sense.
Not to mention whether there were such foolish people in the world.
Just looking at the aura on this girl, she had clearly just entered Ascending the Tower not long ago, and even her Realm had not yet been fully stabilized.
Where would she get the time to polish her Physical Body?!
If it wasn't for this reason... then there was only one possibility left.
This girl... just her Physical Body foundation when she first entered Ascending the Tower had already surpassed his Denglou demon emperor Primordial Spirit, which had been polished for hundreds of thousands of years!
"Why?!"
This was unscientific!
Before the Red Silk Demon Emperor could figure out the key to this,
In the dust ahead,
The young girl's eyebrows twitched slightly.
Immediately after,
A sky full of brilliance instantly submerged the slender figure.
"Roar—!!!"
A roar resounded through heaven and earth.
The sound waves rolled, shattering the clouds in the sky and bending the backs of the mountains.
Until the brilliance dissipated,
A creature several zhang long appeared in place.
Golden vertical pupils stared indifferently ahead,
Like a god high in the Nine Heavens, looking down at the ants on the ground.
This scene,
Made both Denglou demon emperors dumbfounded.
The Old Ox opened his mouth wide, and the Red Silk Demon Emperor's whole body was stiff.
Even Wang Ziyu, who was on the side, stared blankly at what was in front of him.
This appearance... this aura... "True... True Dragon?!"
The Old Ox cried out in shock.
Flood dragons are common in the world, but True Dragons are extinct!
No wonder... no wonder this girl's Physical Body was so terrifying!
No wonder she could use a mortal body to forcefully resist a Denglou Primordial Spirit!
This was a True Dragon's body!
Jiang Yuechu did not give them much time to be shocked.
With a swing of the dragon tail,
The Void Realm shattered.
The dragon body instantly disappeared from the spot.
The Red Silk Demon Emperor only felt a flash of golden light before its eyes.
The next instant,
A bloody mouth had already enlarged infinitely in its field of vision.
Crack—!!!
The True Dragon roared and arrived, biting into the waist and abdomen of the scarlet Primordial Spirit.
"Ah!!!"
Under this bite, the Primordial Spirit body actually shattered by more than half, turning into dots of red light and dissipating.
After transforming into a dragon,
How could the power of the Physical Body only increase tenfold?
This bite shattered not only the Primordial Spirit but also all of the Red Silk Demon Emperor's courage!
Looking at the golden vertical pupils close at hand, the Red Silk Demon Emperor cursed in its heart.
How could it still fight?!
This is a fucking True Dragon!!
It's one thing for the Physical Body to be terrifying, but if the opponent were forced to use the True Dragon's Primordial Spirit... what kind of scene would that be?
It was afraid it wouldn't even have a chance to run!
Escape!
Must escape!
The Red Silk Demon Emperor no longer had any intention of continuing the fight.
Enduring the sharp pain of its Primordial Spirit being torn, it suddenly retreated.
Then, it was about to turn into a blood light and flee toward the horizon.
It didn't even dare to leave a harsh word.
But wanted to leave?
How could it be that easy?
Since she had already revealed her true form and had killing intent,
Then it was a situation of cutting the grass and pulling up the roots, a life-and-death struggle.
In the vertical pupils of the True Dragon that Jiang Yuechu had transformed into, there was only indifference.
Boom—!!!
The long sky trembled.
Five-colored light flowed incessantly on the dragon scales; the huge body was not at all clumsy, but extremely agile.
Instantly,
The True Dragon's body had already torn through a distance of several hundred zhang, arriving first and biting the panic-stricken scarlet stream of light.
The Red Silk Demon Emperor only felt an ill wind behind it.
Before it could turn its head,
Its vision was already obscured by the sky full of black Qi.
Rolling black mist, like a bursting river or sea, erupted from the dragon's body, covering the sky and earth, instantly blocking the four directions.
"Get away from this seat!!!"
The Red Silk Demon Emperor shrieked.
The red light and the Evil Qi corroded each other; although it broke free from the black mist in just a moment, it was still a moment too slow.
That one moment,
Was enough to be fatal.
Jiang Yuechu, situated in the black mist, slightly tilted back her huge dragon head.
A dark gold bead, carrying the force of ten thousand jun, shot out from her mouth.
Bang—!!!
A muffled sound.
The Red Silk Demon Emperor, busy breaking through the black mist, had no time to dodge.
The dark gold Dragon Pearl smashed solidly onto the back of its Primordial Spirit.
Under this strike, the scarlet Primordial Spirit was actually smashed into a large depression, and its light instantly dimmed.
Its figure stumbled forward uncontrollably.
Before it could stabilize its figure,
Jiang Yuechu had already closed in.
Her bloody mouth suddenly opened.
Crack.
The upper and lower jaws closed.
Sharp dragon teeth instantly pierced through the torso of the scarlet Primordial Spirit.
Fragments of the Primordial Spirit turned into a sky full of red rain; before they could hit the ground, they dissipated in the wind.
"No... No!!!"
The Red Silk Demon Emperor trembled all over in pain, unable to pull away even a bit of distance.
For the Denglou Realm, although the Primordial Spirit can gather and disperse without form and is difficult to obliterate with ordinary means,
Even if it were cut into two sections, it could still re-condense.
But this didn't mean it wouldn't die.
Jiang Yuechu did not let go after biting it.
Her head shook violently.
Rip—
Large patches of Primordial Spirit spiritual light were forcibly torn off and swallowed into her belly.
In just a few breaths,
The Red Silk Demon Emperor's original Primordial Spirit had been torn until less than thirty percent remained.
Its aura had even fallen to the bottom.
Even maintaining its most basic form had become extremely difficult.
Flickering on and off, as if it would dissipate with the wind at any time.
Jiang Yuechu stopped her movements.
The huge dragon body coiled in the void, surrounding the battered scarlet light ball in the center.
Her golden vertical pupils looked down from above, indifferently watching this scene.
The Red Silk Demon Emperor no longer struggled.
It hovered in mid-air, its broken Primordial Spirit panting slightly, muttering to itself: "Why..."
Why would it meet a True Dragon here... Why would a True Dragon suddenly appear?!
But no matter how unwilling it was, no matter how much it resented,
The defeat was set.
Life and death were decided.
This was cultivation.
The weak are prey to the strong, and the winner is king.
There is no logic to talk about, only life and death to discuss.
As a Denglou great demon, it would have been prepared for its own death.
The Red Silk Demon Emperor suddenly began to laugh.
"True Dragon..."
"What a fine True Dragon body..."
"This Emperor admits that you won today."
"This Emperor's skills are inferior; my death is no one's fault but my own."
Speaking to this point,
The Red Silk Demon Emperor's tone changed, becoming sinister.
"But..."
"You shouldn't have, you absolutely shouldn't have, revealed your True Dragon body in front of this Emperor."
Jiang Yuechu's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
She did not speak.
She only slightly raised a dragon claw, preparing to completely crush this noisy Primordial Spirit.
The Red Silk Demon Emperor did not dodge or avoid.
It stared fixedly at Jiang Yuechu and said word by word: "The moment this Emperor sensed your True Dragon aura,"
"The news... was already sent back to Spirit Mountain."
"A True Dragon appearing in the world, what kind of earth-shattering great fortune is that?"
"Spirit Mountain... no, the entire Eastern Region, before long, will all know this news."
Speaking to this point,
It smiled slightly and said: "This Emperor is looking forward to seeing where you will go when you face the pursuit of the entire Eastern Region."
