Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 1113: Pig-Faced, Monkey-Bodied

The Divine Sound Heaven Skill enabled Jiang Yi to kill the demonic beasts with ease as if cutting grass. Many peak-stage Demon Thearchs knew demonic arts; they did not have the chance to use them at all and were easily killed by him. Jiang Yi and Yin Ruobing proceeded without difficulty, clearing nine mountains consecutively within a day and a half.

“Why have we not encountered any Demon Sovereigns? Isn’t that strange?”

Jiang Yi was perplexed as he killed three Demon Thearchs and asked Yin Ruobing. Yin Ruobing also felt it strange. Even though she and her companions were not as strong the previous time, there was indeed a Demon Sovereign guarding each mountain. This time, the lowest-grade demonic beasts that appeared was of the peak-stage Demon Thearch; there ought to be Demon Sovereigns present as well.

Hoo-Hoo!

Speaking of the devil, a hot wave surged from afar while from even further away thick smoke could be seen. An immense aura also swarmed over. As Jiang Yi and Yin Ruobing looked into the distance, their faces turning cold at the same time. Jiang Yi growled and said, “It’s a Demon Sovereign; a fire-element one? Ruobing, step back. A fire-element Demon Sovereign is nothing much to me. Take care and protect yourself.”

“Jiang Lang, you be careful, too.”

Yin Ruobing sensibly retreated. Her power might be enough to deal with a peak-stage demon king, but she would just be a burden to Jiang Yi if they went up against a Demon Sovereign. Jiang Yi had the Fire Spirit Pearl and was not afraid of fire, making her at ease.

Roar! Roar!

The hot wave continued to come closer while black smog started heading this way. Accompanying the Demon Sovereign, the trees in its vicinity all caught fire. That monster started roaring from afar, its voice causing a tremble in the surroundings, with rocks flying about. The tremors caused Jiang Yi’s blood to boil as his essence force was disrupted slightly; it was very terrifying.

“A pig’s face and a monkey’s body?”

Jiang Yi took a look at the demonic beast galloping his way and couldn’t help it but laughed.

He had seen this type of demonic beast. When he was with Qianqian and the Black Deity in the Endless Deep Sea, he had seen a race that looked like this on a barren island. This type of demonic beast looked very ugly. It had a huge head that looked like a swollen pig’s head but had a body like a monkey. Its body was not as big as the head and made it look very comical. Even when they transformed into humans, they still preferred this body proportion, thinking that it made them look suave.

As this type of monster did not live in the sea, Qianqian had even introduced them to Jiang Yi. This demonic beast had an eccentric temper and frequently killed sea beasts. It did not have a high intellect and was just like an addle-minded person. However, their power was terrifying. Their mode of attack was using their voices. It was said that the roar of the most powerful pig-faced monkey-bodied demonic beast could shake mountains and rivers and roar down the stars. Of course, this was but a legend.

They still had another attack which was to spit fire. They could spit out purple flames that had extremely high temperatures. A breath of purple flames could evaporate an entire water body into a fog. However, Jiang Yi was not sure how hot exactly the temperature could get. As the beast was closing in, Jiang Yi did not feel any heat at all; the Fire Spirit Pearl had activated automatically and was protecting its master.

Clang-clang!

As it was—after all—a Demon Sovereign, Jiang Yi did not dare to be careless. He immediately released his Divine Sound Heaven Skill, sending waves of sonar waves forward. The pig-faced, monkey-bodied demonic beast’s triangle eye shrunk as it stopped its galloping self. An even louder howl emerged from its mouth, causing the collapse of stone peaks in the surroundings. It also pushed back Yin Ruobing even more as she could not bear it.

Jiang Yi was also feeling exceptionally terrible. His blood was boiling while his essence force was being disrupted. He almost fell from mid-air. He hurriedly entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man; he could then be able to block out the roaring while his soul spirit would not be affected either. The disturbance to his essence force could also be easier to manage.

“Nameless Divine Art!”

After entering the State of the Union of Heaven and Man, Jiang Yi started to activate the Nameless Divine Art to stabilize his essence force. He also started churning out astral winds that formed ten astral wind blades and surged forth. He did not dare to use his Rainbow Soul Spear this time. This demonic beast could spit fire; if it burned his Rainbow Soul Spear, that would be bad.

Clang-clang!

The Divine Sound Heaven Skill continued to suppress the Demon Sovereign. Its body could no longer move and was obviously being held down. However, it was still roaring at the top of its voice. Its aura also became more violent. If Jiang Yi wasn’t in the State of the Union of Heaven and Man, the violent aura would have suffocated Jiang Yi.

Bang, bang, bang!

The ten astral wind blades furiously slashed at the Demon Sovereign, with sparks flying with each impact. The Demon Sovereign’s huge body was sent flying. However, although a considerable amount of its fur was destroyed, it did not seem to have suffered much damage. Only a faint line of blood could be seen; it was evidently just a superficial wound.

“This is going to be troublesome…”

Jiang Yi’s face darkened. He wasn’t so perturbed by this Demon Sovereign per se, but more of being worried about how he could break through the subsequent mountains.

This Demon Sovereign was not that strong, and yet its defensive ability was already so strong. When they encountered even stronger Demon Sovereigns after this—even if his Divine Sound Heaven Skill could affect the Demon Sovereigns, how was he going to kill them? If they came in contact with a Demon Sovereign with an insanely high defensive ability—even if he tried, he would not be able to kill it.

“Forget about it for now; let’s kill this one first!”

Jiang Yi decided and flew to the front swiftly. He had just flown for a thousand feet before a purple-colored fire snake came soaring by. All the trees in the vicinity were all burned to a fine powder. Even the soil had turned black-brown and was still releasing black smoke.

“Keke!”

Jiang Yi smiled slightly as he withdrew his Astral Winds Divine Shield, allowing the flames to engulf him. His Fire Spirit Pearl was just nice out of burning flames; it would be good for it to absorb some purple flames. It looked as if these flames could rival thunder fire; after all, they were demonic flames from a Demon Sovereign.

Roar! Roar!

The two-hundred-feet tall pig-faced, monkey-bodied demonic beast was crazily rushing forward. Its triangular eye was full of rage. It took big steps as it ambled, roaring out loud, shaking the mountains and the rivers, and cracking the rocks in the vicinity.

“Stop—in my name!”

Jiang Yi’s heart growled as he waved his flexible sword. His Divine Sound Heaven Skill suppressed the Demon Sovereign and prevented it from getting any closer. After his Fire Spirit Pearl had absorbed enough of the burning flames, Jiang Yi’s astral wind blades continued to fly forward. This time, he only concentrated on one area; that was the Demon Sovereign’s left leg. As long as Jiang Yi could chop off two legs, the Demon Sovereign would become fish meat on a platter, at the mercy of Jiang Yi.

Bang, bang, bang!

The ten astral wind blades incessantly attacked that same spot, and the effects were very obvious. The Demon Sovereign’s left leg was slashed into a pile of blood and flesh. A huge chunk of bloody flesh was minced into bits as a white bone in the leg was revealed. The Demon Sovereign’s huge body was once again sent flying.

“Continue with the burning flames please.”

Jiang Yi flew over slowly as he gave the Demon Sovereign time to spew fire. Jiang Yi needed more purple flames as they could be of use against even stronger Demon Sovereigns. These flames were also useful the last time he had activated the Smelting Divine Furnace. Although he was not very sure—he was guessing that without the powers of the star spheres, it would not be possible to activate and use the Smelting Divine Furnace. There was no harm in gathering more burning flames.

Just like this!

Jiang Yi slowly killed the Demon Sovereign. This Demon Sovereign’s strength was really nothing compared to Jiang Yi’s. To him, killing this Demon Sovereign was no pressure.

After an hour, two of the Demon Sovereign’s legs were cut. It could only lie on the floor and turn about, occasionally spewing out burning flames. Jiang Yi was actually very satisfied as he held onto his Fire Spirit Pearl still absorbing the burning flames. Before long, the Fire Spirit Pearl had absorbed as much as it could.

“It’s about time; let’s end this.”

Jiang Yi verified and secretly nodded his head. He controlled his astral winds and fiercely sent them slashing at the Demon Sovereign’s neck. However, its defensive power was too strong; he would not be able to kill it within five or ten minutes.

“Oh, right!”

Jiang Yi suddenly thought of something and opened his eyes wide, his face revealing something strange.

During the Trials of Wind and Fire, Jiang Yi had seen how perfectly the astral winds could actually fuse together. It was just nice the perfect opportunity to test his ideas on this Demon Sovereign—on how to combine the astral winds to perfection. If they could be completely fused together, his attack power would definitely be multiplied while his chances at clearing the Evil Spirit Ridge would be even higher. He would then have the chance of obtaining the Glazed Pagoda.

“Eh?”

However—

At this moment, an image surfaced in Jiang Yi and Yin Ruobing’s heads. The skies cracked open, and a crevice appeared. A beautiful green treasure pagoda was falling from the sky and was taken by a big hand. After that, the crevice mended; and the image disappeared.

Boom!

Jiang Yi felt as if he had been blasted by lightning from a clear sky; he was momentarily lost for words and couldn’t move!

Someone had actually taken the Glazed Pagoda? That hand was obviously that of a man. If it wasn’t Zhan Tianlei, it was Jian Wuying. Without the Glazed Pagoda, how was he going to rescue Su Ruoxue?
