121: Fierce Battle Against Demon Generals, Formation Diagram Begins to Emerge

"Too fragile."

These three words were like a resounding slap, landing hard on the face of the Seventh Demon General, Baal.

The shock on his face was instantly replaced by endless rage and humiliation.

"You're looking for death!"

Baal let out a roar that shook the stars, no longer able to maintain the composure of a commander. He stepped out from the flagship, his massive devilish body appearing directly in the center of the battlefield, facing Chu He from afar.

A terrifying pressure, a hundred times stronger than the previous Devil Heads, erupted from him!

Great Perfection of Soul Transformation Stage!

This was Baal's true strength! As the Seventh Demon General, he was one of the strongest vanguards under the Devil Emperor, responsible for sweeping away all indigenous civilizations that dared to resist. In his long career of conquest, he had never seen an existence like Chu He, who could erupt with such terrifying combat power based solely on a Nascent Soul Stage cultivation.

Jealousy and killing intent grew wildly in his heart.

"Kid, I have to admit, you are the most talented native I've ever seen!" Baal's voice was like ice. "Your Bloodline, your Cultivation Technique—they will all be mine! Today, this general will personally tear you apart, extract your Divine Soul, and make you wail in devilish flames for ten thousand years!"

As his voice fell, Baal moved. A giant claw covered in black scales, carrying the power to tear through space, grabbed directly for Chu He's crown.

This claw contained the Law power of his Great Perfection of Soul Transformation Stage. Everywhere it passed, space rippled as if it were about to be crushed.

Chu He's eyes narrowed.

He knew that the real battle was only beginning now.

He could also erupt with Nascent Soul Late Stage combat power; in a direct clash, he was fully confident he could defeat the opponent.

But... 'Killing him so easily would be letting him off too lightly,' Chu He sneered inwardly. 'Moreover, this is an excellent opportunity to test the recent cultivation results of Qingxue and the children.'

Chu He did not want to be a lone-wolf powerhouse; he enjoyed leading his entire Family to become stronger together, watching his wife and children grow into individuals who could hold their own.

A powerful enemy was the best whetstone.

In the time it takes for a thought to flash, Chu He did not retreat but advanced, meeting the attack with a punch.

This time, he did not use his full strength, instead controlling his power at a level equivalent to the opponent's.

"Boom!"

Punch and claw collided, erupting in a blinding light.

Chu He's figure swayed as he retreated a hundred zhang, while Baal remained motionless.

From the looks of it, Chu He seemed to have fallen into a disadvantage.

"Hahahaha! I thought you were so strong, but it turns out your power is just strange! Before absolute Realm suppression, you are nothing but an ant!"

Having gained the upper hand in one strike, Baal's arrogance flared even more, and his offensive poured toward Chu He like a violent storm.

For a time, Devilish Qi traversed the Void Realm, and Laws collided.

Baal summoned a hundred-zhang devil dragon condensed from endless devilish thoughts, which pounced at Chu He with bared fangs and claws.

Chu He used the Nine Revolutions Tyrant Dragon Art to manifest a golden divine dragon to tangle with it.

Baal formed hand seals, raining down a devilish rain that could corrode all things.

Chu He held up a magic power shield, blocking all the devilish rain outside.

The battle between the two was earth-shaking, making the stars sway and the Void Realm tremble. The Cultivators on the Xuanhuang Continent watched with hearts in their throats; they could only see two extremely fast figures constantly colliding, each impact erupting with a terrifying aftershock capable of destroying a mountain range.

Inside Chu City, Lin Waner and the others clenched their fists nervously.

"Husband... seems unable to beat that big devil..." Qing'er said worriedly.

"He won't lose!" Su Qingxue's eyes were firm; she knew her husband best. "Husband must have his own plans. We... must believe in him!"

Despite her words, her knuckles turned white from the force of gripping the immortal slaying formation diagram.

On the battlefield, Chu He fought Baal while using his Divine Thought to observe the opponent's attack patterns and use of Laws.

'Great Perfection of Soul Transformation Stage—his understanding of Laws is indeed much deeper than mine as a half-baked Soul Transformation,' Chu He assessed inwardly. 'However, his Laws are filled with a violent aura of devouring and destruction; his Foundation is unstable and full of flaws. If not for that, I really might not have held out this long using only Nascent Soul Stage cultivation.'

After another hard clash, Chu He deliberately left a flaw and was struck in the chest by one of Baal's devil claws.

Although his Physical Body was powerful and he wasn't injured, he was sent flying back like a kite with a broken string.

"Die!"

Baal seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a cruel light erupting in his eyes. His massive devilish body caught up instantly, and his other devil claw turned into a black light that tore through the heavens, aiming straight for Chu He's heart!

This strike was certain to hit!

Inside Chu City, Feng Ziyan, Zhao Linger, and the others cried out in alarm.

However, at this critical moment, a calm Divine Thought rang out in Su Qingxue's mind.

"Qingxue, it's your turn to perform."

Su Qingxue's delicate body jolted, instantly understanding Chu He's intention.

So, her husband... was creating an opportunity for her!

A warm current surged in her heart, and Su Qingxue no longer hesitated. She took a deep breath and poured her magic power without reservation into the ancient scroll in her hand.

"Ce'er, help me!" she shouted softly.

"Yes, Mother!"

Chu Ce, who was standing nearby, had long been ready. His small hands rapidly formed seals, connecting the Origin power of his Innate Killing Array Dao Fetus with the Origin power of his mother Su Qingxue's Myriad Formations Dao Body.

The power of mother and son, using the Great Array of Celestial Body Shifting as a carrier, poured entirely into that seemingly ordinary immortal slaying formation diagram!

Buzz—

On the scroll, the four ancient seal characters 'Zhu, Xian, Jue, Lu' seemed to come alive, emitting a terrifying killing intent that caused the entire world of the sea of fire to freeze!

This killing intent transcended time, transcended space, and even transcended Law!

It was a pure, ultimate will that existed solely for 'slaughter'!

"Rise!"

Su Qingxue pointed her fingers like a sword, aiming afar at Baal in the Void Realm!

In an instant, a tiny, almost invisible gray Sword Qi flashed from the character 'Zhu' on the immortal slaying formation diagram and instantly merged into the Great Array of Celestial Body Shifting.

The next moment, above Chu City, within that brilliant starlight curtain composed of billions of stars, the most inconspicuous star suddenly lit up with a gray light.

An equally gray Sword Qi shot out from that star!

This Sword Qi did not have an earth-shattering aura; it silently sliced through the Void Realm as if it didn't exist in this world, instantly crossing the endless distance to appear behind Baal!

At this time, Baal's devil claw was less than three inches from Chu He's heart!

He could even imagine the pleasure of crushing the heart of this human who dared to defy him in the next second!

However, at this very moment, a terrifying sense of crisis that even froze his devilish soul attacked from behind!

It was an indescribable fear!

It was as if he had instantly transformed from a high-and-mighty hunter into a lamb waiting to be slaughtered!

"No!!!"

Baal's survival instinct overrode everything. Without thinking, he frantically abandoned his killing blow on Chu He, his massive devilish body twisting to the side in an extremely pathetic posture.

Puchi!

The gray Sword Qi almost grazed his back heart, yet it still left a wound deep enough to see bone on his left arm!

The wound was as smooth as a mirror, with not a drop of blood flowing out, only wisps of gray killing Qi wrapping around it like maggots on a bone, frantically eroding the vitality and Devilish Qi at his wound.

Baal let out a painful muffled groan, his figure retreating ten thousand zhang to pull away from Chu He.

He looked down at his left arm, his giant devilish pupils filled with fear and disbelief.

The devilish body he was so proud of, his Great Perfection of Soul Transformation Stage Devilish Qi—they were actually so vulnerable before that strange gray Sword Qi! He could clearly feel his life force rapidly draining from the wound. No matter how he circulated his Devilish Qi, he couldn't dispel that gray killing Qi, or even slow it down!

"This... what kind of power is this?!" Baal cried out in horror, his voice filled with trembling.

In the Void Realm, Chu He slowly stood straight and patted off non-existent dust from his chest.

He glanced at the hideous wound on Baal's arm, then looked back at the brightly lit Chu City, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

Qingxue hadn't disappointed him.

The power of this Immortal Slaying Sword Qi was even more terrifying than he had imagined.

Just activating a tiny bit of it was enough to heavily injure a Great Perfection of Soul Transformation Stage Demon General. If Su Qingxue could completely master this formation diagram in the future, that power... Chu He's heart was full of anticipation.

He turned his head to look at the shaken Baal and said playfully:

"How does it feel? This was just a cup of tea my wife brewed for you. Shall we continue?"
