Chapter 17:

Countless people gathered around the transmission jade.

The people of Wuji Sect and even the entire Spirit Continent were waiting to witness this historic moment of the ancient demon’s downfall.

Su Yilin even gave Li Cangyan her lifebound spirit ring, symbolizing their shared life and pain, before he set off. She wanted to witness his glory and share in it.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the world,

The SoulAnchoring Nail that Li Cangyan had throw out shattered with just one glance from the ancient demon’s eyes.

The Sword Saint had made a mistake.

That was the last Soul Anchoring Nail of the formation, the one at the center of the array. Its complete destruction indicated that Wuji Sect had no more holy artifacts or treasures capable of restraining the unsealed ancient demon.

At this moment, the cultivators surrounding the ancient demon found themselves in a dilemma of fear and retreat.

“Sword… Sword Saint.”

“Didn’t you say you had severely injured it?”

Li Cangyan’s expression cracked as he forced a smile. “But now it has regained its Divine Meteor Eye.”

His heart was in turmoil. How could the Divine Meteor Eye return to the ancient demon? Did it have the ability to rupture the void and directly retrieve them? From the beginning, they had no chance of success.

Li Cangyan had never seen this kind of situation before. It felt like the time when the Divine Sword was within reach but was silently taken away. This time, it seemed that something beyond his comprehension had occurred.

However, the ancient demon that had gained the Divine Meteor Eye covered its right eye and let out a hoarse roar.

It was so cold and painful.

Chong Yan ‘s ears were filled with countless voices.

The restrictions that bit into him were devouring his consciousness, and the suddenly regained immense power was trying to restore itself. However, the process of reshaping his entire body was extremely painful.

His massive silver tail and wings began to twist and flap, and the bone spines ruptured. His damaged inner organs and meridians were pieced back together and reconstructed by the vast divine power, gradually driving him into a state of chaos.

There was something in his chest that he had to protect. The ancient demon struggled to hold onto this thought.

Li Cangyan shouted, “Wait, the arrays are still in effect.”

The mysterious flame had told him that once the restriction array infiltrated the ancient demon’s meridians, its divine body would lose control, and its consciousness would blur. That was why it gradually transformed into a non-human, non-beast monster.

And now, with the sudden acquisition of immense divine power, its loss of control…

multiplied.

The entire Spirit Continent is watching. How could Li Cangyan willingly abandon the fight? At this moment, he finally saw a glimmer of hope.

“Quick, seize this opportunity and fight to the death with me.”

Li Cangyan commanded the thousand cultivators present to release their spiritual energy simultaneously and attack the beast at the center.

For a moment, spiritual currents splashed, and the Abyss trembled.

The besieged ancient demon let out even more agonizing roars.

Li Cangyan flew out alone, seizing the last chance, and struck directly at its heart.

However, as he approached, the enormous eyes of the ancient demon locked onto him with brutal intensity.

There was a rose hidden in his chest. It was the ancient demon’s weak point.

An overwhelming suffocating pressure seized Li Cangyan’s entire body.

In just an instant, Li Cangyan felt like a withered leaf.

Under its palm, he was sent flying and crashed into the icy wall of the Abyss.

Li Cangyan fell into silence for several seconds. When he regained his senses, he found that all his seven orifices and meridians had burst, bleeding profusely. His internal organs shattered simultaneously.

“Ah… Ahh…”

“The Sword Saint’s entire body is bent.”

“He’s completely caved in.”

Their cultivation, could it stand against the ancient god and demon?

Everyone started to retreat and flee.

“Run!”

“The ancient demon are going to destroy the world.”

“This devil is going to destroy the Spirit Continent.”

“Run!”

Inside the Wuji Sect, Su Yilin had just left the small room and hadn’t gone far when she suddenly spat out blood and convulsed, falling to the ground.

“Help!”

The senior brothers and sisters of the sect were in a panic. “Junior sister, what’s wrong with you?”

“Junior sister has formed a bond with Senior brother Cangyan’s life with spirit ring.”

“The Sword Saint has reached such a state of injury.”

The entire Wuji Sect fell into chaos.

Meanwhile, Yao Yao was focused on the image in the transmission jade.

His eyes were really delivered to his hands.

When Yao Yao saw Cangyan being smashed, she admitted that she felt satisfied.

But due to the spiritual fluctuations at the scene or some other reason, the image in the transmission jade started to blur. Yao Yao thought that at least a piece of Chong Yan’s incompleteness had finally been filled, and her empty and wrinkled heart finally felt a little better.

Yao Yao lowered her head, and the palm of her hand transformed into a shallow golden flow of spirit, filled with warm vitality.

She wasn’t afraid even with multiple injuries; she could heal each wound one by one.

Yao Yao raised her head again, intending to continue observing Chong Yan’s condition and injuries, but the image was abruptly interrupted.

“Yao Yao, your brother is here, don’t be afraid.”

Ji Rong finally found her and instantly burst into the room, pulling Yao Yao and rushing outside.

“Wait, brother, I’m fine,” Yao Yao stumbled after him.

But Ji Rong’s expression was extremely serious.

Something was wrong.

The state of that demon, after regaining the Divine Meteor Eye, the power was obviously too immense, immense beyond ordinary imagination. So, the demon, who had been stimulated for a long time, suddenly faced intense purification.

The ancient demon was becoming uncontrollable.

Chang Sword Sect’s senior martial brothers and sisters also came to gather, relieved to see that Yao Yao was unharmed.

Yao Yao greeted them and followed Ji Rong as he pulled her out. Looking up, she realized that the sky had already changed.

The sky surged with dense, grayish frost clouds, and between heaven and earth, it was dim, as if in extreme coldness.
