Chapter 263: Chapter 263 - Kill! Kill! Kill!

Tian Myriad Mother complete form appeared before them; this demonic spirit incredibly high and tall . The copper palace was too small to contain her body .

However, she was only the spirit of a demon god; she didn't truly have a body that allowed her to manipulate her size at will . She soon shrunk down to a size where she could stand in front of the copper palace door .

In order for a spirit to unleash its strength, they would require the worship of living beings – the stronger the power of worship, the stronger the spirit would be .

But now, as she has been walking freely around Swords Gate for so long, clearly, there were still some livings worshipping her to maintain her in the awakening state!

However, Zhong Yue wondered which was it that worshipped her, the demons in the Demon Ruins or the livings arranged by the Xiao Mang Celestial Race!

While Zhong Yue highly suspected it was the latter .

The Demon Ruins in Swords Gate had closed down for a short period of time due to demons' revolt . The Swords Gate had only reopened it after eliminating all of the demon Qi Practitioners in the Demon Ruins while sparing the ordinary demons . After all, what use would the Demon Ruins be if all of the demons were killed? Without the demons as fodder, what use would the Demon Ruins be in tempering the Swords Gate disciples? However, after the catastrophe that happened, Swords Gate treated the Demon Ruins with an elevated degree of caution and vigilance . Surely, they wouldn't allow the demons to continue worshipping the Tian Myriad Mother .

And so, the only other explanation for the Tian Myriad Mother being able to stay awake was that the Xiao Mang Celestial Race had arranged some living beings to worship her!

However, one thing that Zhong Yue was uncertain of was the number of worshippers the Xiao Mang Celestial Race had arranged for her, how much power has she received and how strong was she now?

“Junior martial sister, stand behind me, and stay safe . ” Zhong Yue instructed her without turning his head behind .

Qiu Jin'er nodded, her beautiful countenance turned pale in fear as she looked at the ugly and savage-looking Tian Myriad Mother who suffused the copper palace with her demonic aura . She had different faces on different heads, her appearance itself would infuse fear into the faint of heart!

Although some of the celestial race also looked bizarre, they would not appear to be so savage and demonic; instead, they would carry a saintly air that if anything, served to enamor people towards them .

While Tian Myriad Mother's aura would only terrify people, it was as if one would be corrupted right away the instant her aura touched them . It felt as if their arcane energy and psyche would dissipate upon contact with that baleful aura!

“What did I just see? The demonic spirit of a demon god!”

On another copper palace, Feng Xiaozhong's face suddenly emerged on the palace wall . The madman's face was filled with joy and excitement as he said, "Ahh, I am seriously itching to capture her and dissect her spirit . She would make a marvelous specimen in my research into the undying spirits … LET ME OUT! I want to dissect her! Let me out quickly! I want this demonic spirit!"

Tian Myriad Mother's brows thumped rapidly, she turned back and looked at the copper palace and her eyes filled with uncertainty as she became reluctant to engage with a madman .

I can tell that this madman has killed countless celestial and demon spirits for his own research purposes . This is a dangerous madman that wouldn't show fear even if faced with a god! Thankfully he is sealed, and this human brat can't make it in time to let him out either! Tian Myriad Mother’s face turned dark and solemn as she strode toward Zhong Yue, pressing forward while her killing intent erupted!

Zhong Yue's face remained calm . He touched his arm where there was a scar; he received it when he saved Shui Qingyan from the claws of the beasts . One of the beasts sank its teeth into his arm .

Today, Zhong Yue's mortal body was incredibly strong, the【Sun Moon Prodigious Emanation Art】gave him virtually flawless skin . Even if it were a wound created this morning, the physique-refining art would heal it without leaving behind any scars .

He could have healed the scar away, but he didn't . He decided to let it remain as a reminder of the young girl he had once saved . . . the young girl who was now dead . Her soul devoured by a demon god and her mortal body possessed — the scar was the embodiment of his grief and his desire for vengeance!

The celestial messenger gave me such a weak mortal body that it couldn't even contain all of my energy . However, this little girl is an innate spirit body . She might just be able to let me unleash my prowess in this life . "

Tian Myriad Mother's eight heads and eight mouths moved together to look at Qiu Jin'er . They then said in unison, "And if I can retrieve my old mortal body, I can amend her body with my bloodline, and merge the strength of the demon god and the innate spirit body! Zhong Shan Clan member, do you think you can keep her away from me?"

Zhong Yue remained placid, and he said indifferently, "Not only can I protect her, but I will also still kill you . "

“With that sword of yours?”

Tian Myriad Mother walked in the copper palace with spider legs, giving out a series of metallic clanking sounds as she moved closer to the duo . Her elephant head swung its trunk in the air and sneering coldly, "I've seen the sword, a broken part of a saint weapon . It's true it can threaten me, but that's all it can do! The Xiao Mang Celestial Race have arranged for tens of thousands of living beings to worship me day and night, maintaining my vigor; you are no match for me!"

The elephant trunk suddenly enlarged like a giant python opening its mouth wide, vacuuming air like a tiny black hole hungry for foods!

The Kui Long's leathery hide fluttered in the air and remained steadfast while Qiu Jin'er shielded herself beneath it, but Zhong Yue was sucked into the air toward the elephant trunk without being able to put up much a fight!

His two hundred foot tall mortal body was incredibly strong, but he was still powerless against the demonic spirit of a demon god!

"Go!" Zhong Yue yelled, the Golden Peng Sword thrust out from his Dao Yi Realm, slicing through the air and slashing down at the elephant trunk on its left!

"This is what I've been waiting for!" Tian Myriad Mother was overjoyed, she clutched onto the hilt of the Golden Peng Sword, hurling it aside and laughing, "This sword is going to waste in your hands! It can only unleash its greatest power when a demon god wields it! Now, it's time to let you have a taste of its true power…"

"Heavy! Heavy! Heavy! Heavy! Heavy!" Zhong Yue bellowed in anger, chanting ‘Heavy' five times in quick succession; immediately, the Golden Peng Sword immediately turned incomparably heavy, to the point that not even Tian Myriad Mother was able to maintain hold of it as it slammed down onto the ground along with it . The percussive shock of the impact violently rocked the foundations of the copper palace!

“Big! Big! Big! Big! Big!”

After another five ‘Big' chants, the Golden Peng Sword immediately enlarged to a 30000 feet longsword, piercing through Tian Myriad Mother who came crashing down to the ground . Tian Myriad Mother was shocked, and her faces changed drastically . She quickly released the sword and leaped into the air, but the Golden Peng Sword still managed to thrust into her stomach to create a huge hole in her body!

Fortunately for her, she was a demonic spirit without a true mortal body, or otherwise, she would have been heavily injured by just this one strike .

Even so, she could still feel the threat of the Golden Peng Sword; this feeling made her very uneasy!

With Zhong Yue's current cultivation base and prowess, he could never harm her at all, the only thing that could was the godly power contained in the Golden Peng Sword!

For as long as she had lived, Tian Myriad Mother had never seen such an appallingly strong divine power before, nor such a high caliber divine weapon!

Even if it were only a fragment of the divine weapon, its power was sufficient to be a significant threat to her!

As she leaped into the air and retreated out from the copper palace, Zhong Yue had already clenched onto the hilt of the Golden Peng Sword, and he reverted the golden sword's weight . He held onto the sword hilt with his arms and twisted his two hundred feet mortal body, hurling the thirty thousand feet longsword over towards Tian Myriad Mother!

This copper palace that was strong enough to seal off a magnate was like a piece of tofu against the Golden Peng Sword, the whole copper palace before Zhong Yue was slashed in half before it was sent crumbling down to rubble!

The sword quickly caught up to Tian Myriad Mother before slicing onto her!

One after another, her spider legs were severed, and she let out a cry of pain . She left her legs behind and flew toward the copper palace where her mortal body was sealed .

“Small! Small! Small!”

Zhong Yue chanted, the 30000 feet longsword quickly shrunk down and flitted behind Tian Myriad Mother like a bolt of lightning to quickly catch up to her!

“Big! Big! Big!”

The golden sword was enlarged again, thrusting at her in an attempt to sever her in half!

Tian Myriad Mother's eight heads all let out a ferocious growl, the demonic voices rumbled in the air and pounced on the golden sword; but the golden sword continued thrusting over at the same speed as it soon decapitated two of her eight heads!

Tian Myriad Mother lashed out her tail hook and tried to parry the golden sword away . Meanwhile, she grabbed onto a huge metal chain and whipped it over towards Zhong Yue who was in the destroyed copper palace!

The metal chains were engraved with the seals left behind by the Swords Gate ancestors, and if it weren't the Golden Peng Sword having already cut off one of the metal chains, she wouldn't have been able to wield it in the first place!

If the incoming metal chain struck him, Zhong Yue would undoubtedly be reduced to a pile of mashed meat!

Just when the metal chain was going to land on the palace, a sword ray flashed over and broke the chain at the middle, but it could not stop the momentum of the huge metal chain as it continued to crash into the copper palace . Qiu Jin'er who was covered with the Kui Long's cowhide was left unharmed, but Zhong Yue's body was nearly crushed away by the impact force!

Right at this moment, Tian Myriad mother had flown to the copper palace where her mortal body was sealed, a loud din could be heard from the copper palace, and a colossal palm mark bulged out on the palace wall!

Krong! Krong!

A series of loud noises burst in their ears as more and more marks appeared out on the palace wall . There were palm marks, fist marks, claw marks and marks in every other shape . It seemed to fill the whole wall and pushed the palace wall outward, causing it to turn thinner and weaker!

Clearly, Tian Myriad Mother had reconnected with her previous life's mortal body, controlling it to break through the seals from the side with sheer strength .

When the copper palace wall reached its limit, it would crumble and the mortal body sealed in it could be released!

‘Go!”

Zhong Yue regained his balance and pointed out his finger . The Golden Peng Sword thrust out like a flash of lightning; Tian Myriad Mother swung the other half metal chain and lashed out, curling around the golden sword like a python strangling its prey . It trapped the golden sword tightly within its clutches .

“Small! Small! Small!”

The Golden Peng Sword shrunk down and threaded past the metal chain like a flash of gold . It then pierced into Tian Myriad Mother's chest .

“Big! Big! Big!”

The golden sword was enlarged, returning to its 30000 feet form as it bisected her into halves!

“Is she dead?”

Before Zhong Yue was able to heave a breath of relief, Tian Myriad Mother's halved body suddenly merged back together; she was evidently still alive!

As long as the worship continued, the spirit would remain undying!
