CHAPTER 367: CHAPTER 215 CUBA: IN MY LIFE, I HATE THOSE WHO DECEIVE THE DEVIL THE MOST! (8600 WORDS)_1

The void quivered as the Saints transformed into divine rainbows, streaking forward to annihilate the True Demon.

"The situation should be stable now," Li Zuoyue remarked, gazing into the void. His eyes narrowed slightly as he made his assessment.

"The True Demon is strong, but the power of this physical body is far too weak. It’s no match for the Saints," Ye Guhong added.

It had to be said that the True Demon Bloodline was uniquely potent. Once a member of this race reached maturity, they were comparable to the top powerhouses of the Human Race.

Right now, however, the True Demon had been deceived by the Shadow Fiend and had only absorbed the power of a single Saint, leaving him unable to contend with the entire assembly. Yet, he still had an arsenal of techniques. A tide of Demonic Light surged from him with a staggering presence, and he didn’t fall quickly. To an ordinary person, such resilience would seem impossible.

If the Demon Race’s plan had succeeded, this True Demon would have devoured the Essence Blood of hundreds of Saints. He would have become unimaginably powerful—strong enough to suppress countless experts of this era and threaten the entire Cangyuan Realm.

Fortunately, it now seemed to be only a matter of time before the Saints suppressed him.

"Speaking of which, Junior Brother Wang Xiu, what was that Divine Skill you just used? It even nullified the Fallen Saint Formation." With the situation now safe, everyone was in the mood for a casual chat. Xiang Tiange’s expression was full of curiosity as he asked.

Everyone’s eyes fell upon Wang Xiu, their faces filled with the same curiosity.

Wang Xiu’s miraculous technique was the greatest contribution to their victory today. Without it, the Saints couldn’t have entered, leaving the rest of them with only two options: flee, or die.

Uh... Wang Xiu decisively passed the buck to Luo Binglan. "It’s a Divine Skill my Master taught me. She supposedly found it in some ancient ruin, but it’s only a fragment, so it doesn’t have a name."

Everyone in the Sanqing Immortal Sect knew this about her. Back when Luo Binglan could still walk, she loved to wander everywhere, raiding this ruin or strolling through that forbidden area. She was eventually lost during her adventures on Demon Sea Island. The story sounded perfectly plausible.

If they were so capable, why didn’t they just dig up Luo Binglan and ask her themselves?

Just as he’d expected, everyone stopped asking questions.

Just then, a cry rang out. "Get out of the way!"

Everyone was alarmed and hurriedly looked up, their expressions filled with shock.

A shadowy beam of light fell from the void. It moved at breakneck speed, piercing through space and heading straight for Wang Xiu.

Behind it, the Saints gave chase with desperate, anxious expressions. Their bodies glowed with a dazzling brilliance, like a meteor shower streaking across the sky. It was Zhang Yunting who had let out that loud shout, and he looked nearly frantic.

Wang Xiu reacted in a flash, almost reflexively activating all of his Divine Skills. Instantly, a brilliant golden light erupted from him, as if he were achieving sainthood on the spot. A thousand visions unfolded as auspicious clouds billowed around him.

At the same time, he took out Zhulong’s Scale and held it before him.

But the shadowy light ignored it all. With a flicker, it passed through the radiant glow protecting Wang Xiu’s body and plunged directly inside him, disappearing without a trace.

"Junior Brother!" Li Zuoyue, Qin Guangling, and Xiang Tiange’s pupils contracted as the color drained from their faces.

"Big Brother!"

"Junior Brother Wang Xiu!"

Zhang Yuge’s eyes reddened, his face contorting with rage as he rushed forward.

Li Xuanqi’s delicate body trembled. With a flutter of her white dress, she vanished from her spot.

"Stay back, all of you!" Ye Guhong’s reaction was the most dramatic. His weakened body suddenly erupted with astonishing power. He forcibly pushed Li Zuoyue and the others aside, squeezed past Li Xuanqi, and blocked Zhang Yuge’s path. A deep, commanding presence swept over them, his imposing aura like that of an ancient emperor subduing everyone.

"Young Ancestor..." Chu You was stupefied.

Everyone was dumbfounded. It’s one thing for us to worry about Wang Xiu; after all, we’ve been through life and death together. But if I remember correctly, this is the first time you two have ever met, isn’t it? Could this be the fabled camaraderie between geniuses?

Ye Guhong looked at Wang Xiu, his face etched with worry. "Are... are you alright? Do you feel anything... eh!"

"Move it, kid! Don’t get in the way!" Zhang Yunting strode out of the void, grabbed Ye Guhong by the collar, and tossed him aside. He then turned to Wang Xiu, his voice filled with concern. "How is it? Are you in any discomfort?"

Wang Xiu said nothing. He closed his eyes and focused, circulating the Supreme Pointing to the Profound Chapter and the Great Luo Supreme Divine Sense to scan every inch of his body.

Soon, he found a miniature demonic figure within his Dantian Spirit Sea. It was Guba!

It was unclear what secret technique the demon had used, but no matter what Wang Xiu tried, he couldn’t affect it in the slightest. It was as if Guba were merely an illusion that didn’t truly exist.

Just then, Wang Xiu tentatively channeled a trace of the Ming Emperor’s Tome of The Underworld.

Instantly, he noticed Guba’s remnant soul give a slight shudder.

It’s working? Wang Xiu was overjoyed. He now had a way to deal with it and was about to obliterate the soul. But then, a new idea suddenly surfaced in his mind.

A True Demon-level remnant soul that poses no threat to me... wouldn’t keeping it be better than destroying it? A True Demon-level remnant soul! Boasting about this would be even more impressive than bluffing about a Saint! I’ve been coveting Jiang Yourong for a long time... err... to be precise, I’ve been coveting Jiang Ling’er’s upgrade cheat for a long time. And now, a True Demon-level remnant soul has been delivered right to my doorstep. It would be a waste not to take it!

With this in mind, he made a decision.

Wang Xiu opened his eyes. "I don’t feel any discomfort, but it has entered my Spirit Sea. It’s incredibly stubborn and difficult to expel."

"Dammit... It’s the Ghost God Sha!" Ye Guhong cursed, his expression ferocious, his composure nearly shattering. He punched a nearby hill to vent his frustration, causing it to crumble.

"Ghost God Sha? What’s that?" Li Zuoyue and the others asked eagerly.

"That is a legacy technique of the Nether Demon Clan," the Sage explained, stepping out from the void while holding a scepter. His expression was grim as he looked at Wang Xiu. "It’s a secret technique that only pure-blooded Nether Demons can master. By immolating their Demonic Blood and Demon Soul, they can condense a parasitic soul. It can possess another living being to seize control of their physical body, and it’s exceptionally difficult to handle!"
