Chapter 1690: Chapter 31: An Jing Victorious, Holy Demon Defeated! (4/4)

The shockwave of time and space centered around the Platinum Armor began to expand, materializing and suddenly erupting.

The power from countless timelines compounded, powerful enough to destroy numerous Small Worlds, even crushing the Cave Heaven power enveloping An Jing’s entire body. The white glow of the Cave Heaven was instantly suppressed to just a layer around the armor, even pushed inside, causing the surface armor plates to crack with twisted spiral patterns, and slowly turn to dust.

In infinite parallel timelines, ’other An Jings’ were fighting against the Great Wilderness Holy Demons. The sudden explosive power of the Great Wilderness Heavenly Demons did not affect them, giving them a chance to strike, repelling, shattering, and even directly annihilating a considerable portion, if not most, of the Great Wilderness Holy Demons.

But this doesn’t change the fact that right now, this timeline’s An Jing encountered an unprecedented intrusion.

Dark black demonic patterns crawled from the unhealed neck wound onto the Platinum Armor Helmet. Even within the observation window, the two golden-red eyes resembling a burning sun extinguished one, turning into a somber black flame, maliciously turning towards the stubbornly burning other eye.

—The Great Wilderness Holy Demon of this timeline believes that this timeline is where An Jing is the strongest, most perfect, and invincible.

—As long as this timeline’s An Jing is annihilated, eroded, and transformed, other timelines’ An Jings, no matter how strong, are far from infallible; they will eventually degenerate, or at least fail to instill such fear.

Thus, even at the cost of countless Great Wilderness Holy Demons’ defeat, destroyed by An Jing from other timelines, it seeks to achieve absolute advantage.

In the endless dark river of Daoist Patterns, fragments of numerous worlds’ Great Wilderness Holy Demons restructured into a new Great Wilderness Holy Demon.

Actually, it was no longer the original Great Wilderness Holy Demon; that demon had sacrificed itself, becoming the summoned sacrificial offering, while the Great Wilderness Holy Demons from other timelines responded to the call, only to be defeated and shattered by An Jing from those timelines, leaving residual powers to gather here and form the new entity.

But what difference does it make? The Heavenly Demons lack True Spirits; they are inherently fragments and remnants, branches and split spirits.

This is an ultimate move only the Heavenly Demons can use, the pinnacle of Heavenly Demon Disintegration Skills—

Burn Myself to Destroy the Dao… Empty Myself to Destroy Substance!

Looking down at the Platinum Armor being suppressed, entwined, and even half-eroded by countless dark waterfalls, the newly reborn Great Wilderness Holy Demon solemnly raised both hands, and the Cyan Profound Flame tinged with red ignited again, converging into a long saber.

[Demon Invasion·Annihilation Slash]

Grip the hilt with ten fingers, the blade tip points to the sky, followed by a slashing spin!

The terrifying saber light, carrying the force of annihilation, transforms everything existent, non-existent, and to-be-exist into a void, into the foundational material for new things, demonic things, cooking the Dao Intent into ’new ingredients,’ and slashing toward the immobile Platinum Armor!

This saber light accurately targets the half of An Jing not fully invaded by demons, intending to preserve the already demonic half.

If it succeeds in invading An Jing, deteriorating and converting him into one of them, to be honest, the Great Wilderness Holy Demon wonders what kind of reward from Evil Demon Hundred Kings it would receive… No, rather than a hefty reward, simply accomplishing this task would make it confident to become one of the Hundred Kings!

The long saber slashed down like a star falling to Earth, breaking through layers of time and space, instantly severing thousands of Divine Lights, leaving no trace of existence, with nothing to obstruct or escape!

Even An Jing, at this moment, seemed to accept his fate, the firelight in his intact left eye extinguished, as if closing his eyes, resigning to his destiny, unwilling to witness his own demise.

But this is an illusion.

Because in the next instant, the flame reignited, even brighter than before.

“I see, I have grasped the True Meaning of the great Dao of the Emperor of Change!”

In the next moment, as the saber glow was about to fall, the head of the Platinum Armor suddenly detached from the body, shooting fierce flames, escaping that Green Flame Slash!

[What?!]

The Blade of Annihilation cut the air, and truth be told, the Great Wilderness Holy Demon’s mind went blank for a moment.

It had considered various evasive and resistant possibilities An Jing might employ, even the head-detachment escape was vaguely anticipated, as tearing through space and separating the body to dodge attacks is normal for beings at their level.

But its Annihilation Slash was locked onto the Green Flame on An Jing; in other words, an An Jing capable of evading truly understood the Dao True Intent of Yuan Wo and even the Emperor of Change, managing to evade the intent-lock in such a short time, how did he achieve that?!

—The answer resembled the beginning!

The head of the Taibai Armor soared to the sky, wrapped in golden-red flames, and after the flame dispersed, all traces of demonic invasion were burnt away. The flame at the neck continued burning, causing the Taibai Armor head to swivel 180 degrees in the air, then, like a missile, it shot towards the hastily turned Great Wilderness Holy Demon.

[Just one head left, don’t underestimate me!]

The Great Wilderness Holy Demon roared, but at the same time, its heart raced, as if excited, exhilarated or joyful, no less emotional than a human, feeling stirred by the battle, a reaction that originally belonged to humans, to the imprint of the Immortal Venerable it had eroded and emulated.

[—To be able to counter my teacher’s free use of the Emperor of Change’s slash, where did this freak come from?!]

[—Running on empty, just this little power, and still daring to counterattack?!]

Two voices overlapping, the Great Wilderness Holy Demon raised the long saber in its hand, green hair dancing wildly, akin to green flames: [Again!]

[Billions of Demon Invasion·Annihilation Slash!]

In its entire body’s space, billions of overlapping layers abruptly appeared, as if sliced by invisible blades into myriad staggered blocks, mirrors, and in each block’s mirrored surface, different timeline’s Great Wilderness Holy Demons, in varied methods and directions, wielded different sword techniques, bursting out unparalleled Divine Intent Sword Light, slashing with varying hues, densities, and wills!

Yet at this moment, laughter could be heard, and the racing Platinum Armor Helmet grew even hotter. Originally pure white, the indestructible helmet was unbelievably burned by high temperatures from unknown sources, turning golden-red, even beginning to melt.

Witnessing this scene, the Great Wilderness Holy Demon opposite, no, all the timeline’s Great Wilderness Holy Demons froze for a moment.

Because they clearly saw that on the ’helmet’ which should now be An Jing’s ’body,’ there appeared a laughing human figure, arms across the chest.

“I don’t know, just feel like I probably get along well with your teacher and the Emperor of Change!”

In saying so, the one who annihilated his past self, the reborn figure raised his hand. His thumb, pinky, and ring finger curved in, leaving only the index and middle fingers extended, forming a Sword Pointing Sword Seal, pointing straight at the demonic shadow roaring to swing the saber.

On the back of his hand, the Evil Suppressing Sword Mark shimmered, and beneath him, the Taibai Armor Helmet which had burned to the extreme, also the essence of Taibai Cave Heaven, shone to its limit, instantaneously exploding, enveloping the Great Wilderness Holy Demon in infinite light, Sword Qi, Divine Intent of Cataclysmic Punishment.

[Cave Heaven Expansion]

[Infinite Calamity Punishment Celestial Punishment Realm]

Infinite Divine Tribulation, denounces all beings, wields Heavenly Punishment, descends on the Bitter Realm!

In the heavenly dome, the darkened world rapidly spread, seemingly covering the entire sky. Then, the Cyan Profound Flame violently erupted, as if to incinerate all.

But in the next instant, a Taibai Sword Light flickered through. The darkened Cave Heaven suddenly paused, then dissipated as if smoke blown apart, revealing the body of the Great Wilderness Holy Demon, forming a saber-swinging stance, and before it was the youthful, barely teenage figure of a boy.

[You, you…]

The Great Wilderness Holy Demon stared at the black-haired golden-eyed human boy before it, trembling with the intent to speak, no longer possessing any power.

—Yes, yes… how the hell did I forget, armor is always armor, even if not armor, it’s merely a womb nurturing something’s birth, that An Jing is actually…

—A human?

Accompanied by this doubt, it lost consciousness, the Green Flame Long Saber shattered, the whole body first inclined, then bisected, subsequently breaking into thousands of pieces, obliterated by the endless Celestial Punishment Sword Intent, reduced to dust—

Exploded and scattered!
