Young Noble Be Monster Slaying-Chapter 874: An Absolute Kill

Although the Divine Nine and the Terrestrial Ten had approved the plan to ambush the Demon God, not all of the representatives from the various immortal sects joined the ambush. Some stood on the sidelines, either staying neutral or flat-out against the plan. Besides, having too many Eminent Ones participate in the fight all at once would not guarantee a better outcome. It might just make things messier.

In the end, the ones who held the most resolute stance on wanting to kill the Demon God led the first wave, forming the god-slaying team. They brought out their strongest legendary artifacts and went all in with the most ruthless tactics!

Some of those who stayed neutral kept to the rear, watching from a distance and ready to step in if things went south. But if the first wave held strong, they had no plans to risk their lives.

A small group from the opposing side wanted to preserve the status quo. In their eyes, a dormant and weakened Demon God was the best way to keep balance in the human world. So, they refused to take part in the fight.

As for the god-slaying team, their plan was simple—end it in one go. If all went well, they wouldn’t need any reinforcements. They were aiming to wipe out the Demon God’s life essence in the very first wave.

Venerable Wen Yuan’s robe fluttered in the wind as he pointed at the radiant, divine figure ahead and shouted, “Kill!!!”

Mount Shu made the first move!

Daoist Yan’s gaze was indifferent. She activated her true essence, and the ship immediately started in motion.

Boom!

The colossal Mount Shu Sect’s Vessel of God, powered by the Great Dao of the Cloud of Determination, thundered through the sky with enough force to shatter the heavens. It carried a might worthy of slaying a god.

Bang!

This was the very vessel that had once brought down the Celestial Cosmic Ring with a single charge. Even the other legendary artifacts had struggled to withstand its might. But just as it rammed forward, a burst of golden light exploded outward and brought it to a sudden halt.

With a muffled boom, the Demon God raised an arm and caught the bronze vessel’s prow head-on. Cracks appeared in the golden light that very instant, but they mended completely a moment later.

A trace of confusion appeared in the Demon God's eyes.

Over the years, he had seen the legendary Seven-Star Sword, the General’s Supreme Constellation Disc, and even the Celestial Cosmic Ring. He had faced countless enemies and endured the siege of many legendary artifacts. However, he had never seen this one before.

Crack!

Another crisp sound rang out as the golden barrier in front of the Demon God shattered completely. His bare palm collided with the vessel, and in that moment, he felt the endless and razor-sharp surge of sword qi.

"Hah..." He suddenly inhaled sharply.

The sword qi instantly twisted into a chaotic stream and surged into his nostrils. His body erupted with golden light once again!

“He’s absorbing the spiritual energy of the vessel!”

With a sweep of his wide sleeve, Venerable Wen Yuan reversed the flow of Primordial Chaos, and the Mount Shu Sect’s Vessel of God vanished and reappeared elsewhere, narrowly escaping the Demon God’s absorption.

Among the Divine Nine and the Terrestrial Ten, the Mount Shu Sect stood as one of the oldest. During the last battle against the Demon God, they had served as the main force on the front lines. Of all the secret records preserved by the major sects, the Mount Shu Sect’s accounts were the most detailed and useful. Before this battle, they had shared those records with the other immortal sects.

One key point in the records clearly warned that the Demon God had fused with the Great Dao of Devouring. Anything near him could become his source of spiritual energy. His reserves were practically endless, and even if he suffered injuries, he could recover instantly by devouring his enemies.

It was a power that could drive anyone to despair. That was exactly why they had chosen to stage the battle inside the Celestial Cosmic Ring.

It wasn’t just to trap the Demon God or prevent innocent lives from being caught in the crossfire. The real reason was that this place was a realm of absolute void. Even a Dao Master of the Great Dao of Devouring couldn’t draw energy from it.

Anyone not directly involved in the battle had been evacuated, leaving the Demon God with no weaklings to consume and no way to recover.

His life essence had already been severely weakened. With repeated attrition like this, it was only a matter of time before it vanished completely.

This void had long been refined and sacrificed by Venerable Wen Yuan through the World Chessboard. With a single invocation, he could shift the heavens and stars at will. This was his battlefield.

Three thousand years ago, the Mount Shu Sect had led the charge, and three thousand years later, it was still taking the lead!

...

They would strike, then immediately withdraw. If the blow failed to land, they had no intention of staying in the fight.

On the other side, Enlightened Wulou wore a solemn expression as he activated the Seven-Star Sword. Although the Celestial Pivot Pavilion was never known for its combat strength, the power of the highest-ranked divine sword allowed them to unleash an awe-inspiring aura that shook the battlefield.

Boom!

That sword strike split the heavens and tore the earth apart.

Among the legendary artifacts listed in the Catalog of the Mortal World’s Ten Thousand Treasures, the Seven-Star Sword was one of the least-used. Even though it had very little battle records, it was ranked second. People had always doubted the legitimacy of it holding second place in the catalog, and many believed that the Celestial Pivot Pavilion had exaggerated the sword’s importance to push down the rankings of other artifacts. But anyone who had once said that would have surely regretted their words after witnessing this strike.

Enlightened Wulou wasn’t a sword cultivator, but the moment he struck down with his sword, everyone present felt their hearts tremble and their livers quake.

The Demon God’s gaze grew even more cautious than when he had faced the Vessel of God earlier. He, too, understood how terrifying this sword was. Back then, aside from the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda, this was the only weapon that had truly posed a threat to him.

If this battle had taken place in the outside world, countless mountains and rivers would have already been reduced to rubble.

Whoosh!

The Demon God leapt, golden light flashing past as he dodged the first wave of sword light. But escaping wasn’t so simple. The divine sword light continued to pursue him, relentless and unyielding.

After creating some distance, the Demon God suddenly turned around. He brought both arms together in front of his chest and clamped them tightly.

Boom!

The void seemed to freeze. The beam of sword light struck his chest and hovered there for a brief moment.

In that fleeting instant, the Demon God inhaled sharply. “Huu!”

The massive sword light was sucked straight into his belly. The ferocious sword qi tore through his organs and chest from the inside, but he didn’t flinch. All he cared about was drawing out the spiritual energy.

It was as if he didn’t care at all, even if this moth demon king’s body ended up completely ruined. He only cared about devouring everything thrown his way.

Behind him, Wenren Yue, leader of the Celestial King Sect, stood within the General’s Supreme Constellation Disc. She watched the scene unfold and slowly formed a hand seal.

Compared to the Demon God, she looked even more like a divine figure descending from the heavens. With a single palm strike, the General’s Supreme Constellation Disc released a glowing orb that instantly wrapped around the Demon God’s body.

What followed was a barrage of countless beams!

Thousands of stars lit up across the disc. Each one fired a beam of divine light, and in the blink of an eye, an endless torrent of spiritual energy rained down.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—BOOM!

The blinding divine light engulfed everything. No one could see what was happening inside. The generals atop the constellation disc held nothing back, pouring every last bit of spiritual energy into the attack.

They knew exactly what kind of enemy they were facing. If they failed to destroy him completely, he would devour everything they gave and use it to grow even stronger.

At a distance, the Noble Dharma remained seated. He frowned slightly as he watched the scene unfold. “This life essence... seems incomplete.”

When the light finally faded, the void returned to its former emptiness, leaving no trace behind.

Is he dead?

None of those present dared to lower their guard. Slaying a god was never simple, even if that god had been worn down over thousands of years and was now at its weakest.

As expected, a streak of golden light appeared above the General’s Supreme Constellation Disc in the very next moment.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" a seventh-realm general cried out in alarm as the Demon God suddenly appeared right in front of him. Even the bravest warrior would struggle to remain calm when standing face-to-face with a god.

“Huuuuuuuuuuuu...”

With a gentle breath, the Demon God inhaled the two seventh-realm generals in front of him. They turned into streaks of light and vanished into his mouth, leaving not a single trace behind. In an instant, they became part of his power.

These were cultivators who had reached the Dao Attainment Realm. In any other place, they would have been honored as Eminent Ones. But here, on this battlefield, they were nothing more than cannon fodder.

Even so, the others did not panic.

The only cultivators with weaker cultivation in the entire battle formation were those who could control the General’s Supreme Constellation Disc. It was no surprise that the Demon God would target it as a weak point. They had already anticipated such a move.

Wenren Yue swiftly shifted her hand seals, releasing a stream of flowing light.

The Great Dao of the Purple Star was the most powerful among all celestial star Great Daos. She was the one who held command over ten thousand celestial stars.

According to legend, every individual had a celestial star acting as their protector. However, most people never formed a connection with their celestial star and went through life unaware of its presence. Cultivators of the Heavenly Star Unusual Art sought to tap into the power of these celestial stars.

The power of the Great Dao of the Purple Star lay in awakening one’s ability to connect with their celestial star. This allowed cultivators of the Heavenly Star Unusual Art to merge with their celestial star and draw on strength far beyond what their actual cultivation level would normally grant.

At that moment, chains of misty light appeared above the heads of the seventh- and eighth-realm cultivators who practiced the Heavenly Star Unusual Art. The chains stretched upward, connecting them to the swirling stars that had appeared in the sky above.

Purple Star, awaken!

Even the two Eminent Ones who had died just now had red stars shining above them, with crimson light linking them to the Demon God’s broken corporeal body.

This was the forbidden curse of the Heavenly Star Unusual Art! Activated by the fate of these seventh-realm Eminent Ones!

The Demon God felt a wave of searing heat as his connection to his Great Dao suddenly vanished.

All cultivators of the Heavenly Star Unusual Art, whether in the seventh or eighth realm, had already bound their life fate to that red star. This included Wenren Yue, who held the King position within the General’s Supreme Constellation Disc.

That star was known as the Void Star of Doom, and it carried a powerful curse. Anyone who killed a cultivator bound to that star would be abandoned by their own Great Dao. freewebnøvel.com

The heavenly fate offered by the two seventh-realm cultivators served as the key to disrupting the Demon God’s connection to his Great Dao. However, their power was not enough to sever the connection permanently. The effect was only temporary, but just this brief moment was all they needed.

The General’s Supreme Constellation Disc contracted, and countless stars gathered around the Demon God. These stars were the General’s Constellation Orbs that the Celestial King Sect had forged over many years. Now, all of them were brought together at once to unleash their combined power.

Chu Liang had seen firsthand how destructive just one or two General’s Constellation Orbs could be when they exploded. But now, an entire stellar river’s worth of orbs had been gathered in one place. If they all detonated at once, the resulting force would be beyond imagination.

Thankfully, they were inside the Celestial Cosmic Ring. If this had happened outside, everything from the Celestial Northern Prison to the capital of Yu would have been reduced to rubble.

Even if the Demon God’s devouring power had not been sealed for that brief moment, there was no way he could have absorbed or withstood such a violent explosion.

This was the grave they had prepared for him.

The stage had been set today to ensure that the Demon God would be killed!
