425: Mid-stage God-level, Nine-Headed Demon God, are nothing more than ants!

All the guards, including the heavily injured old man, stood frozen in place like clay sculptures and wood carvings; they forgot to wield the weapons in their hands, and the shouts in their throats were choked off.

They stared wide-eyed at the figure in green robes in the sky, at the terrifying phantom of a giant palm that was slowly dissipating but had left behind devastation and flames of purification, and at the cleared zone in front of the rift...

Shock, bewilderment, disbelief, and even a trace of dazed ecstasy... all kinds of emotions intertwined in their eyes.

"This... this is... a Divine-Grade high-stage expert..." The old man's lips trembled, and blood seeped from his cracked lips, yet he remained oblivious: "So unfamiliar... It is a newly emerged great expert of our Human Race!"

"One palm... just one palm..." a young guard muttered to himself, his voice drifting.

"Did he just say... to test his strength?" Someone suddenly realized, their voice rising sharply, filled with excitement, "Our Human Race has gained another top-tier expert! Another powerhouse has emerged! This is something to celebrate! Something to celebrate!"

Lu Jiuyuan stood in the air, slowly retracting his palm, his aura slightly fluctuating.

He reached out and inhaled, and thousands of little red dots flew up from below; they were crystals refined from demons, numbering in the tens of thousands.

The small ones were like rice grains, the large ones like fingers.

The lone swan flew out and swallowed all these crystals directly.

This strike consumed quite a bit, a one-stop service of killing, cutting, burning, and refining, almost using up ten percent of the power of his inner Small World, but the effect satisfied him.

With the addition of the power of three thousand worlds, the composite attack was far more powerful than a single Divine Ability.

With such an attack, including his own recovery, he could unleash at most twenty strikes, or one strike with ten times the power!

Then he would have to sleep to fully recover!

His endurance was slightly poor; he had opened too few Small Worlds.

However, if he were willing to waste it, he could immediately recover by mobilizing the reserves from the Guhong Sword to open up particle Small Worlds. But that would be too wasteful!

However, some existence beneath the abyss seemed to be completely enraged by this thunderous strike.

"Roar—!!!"

A roar, far deeper and more violent than any previous demon beast's scream, as if originating from the deepest depths of the Nine Serenities, exploded from the very bottom of the Howling Abyss!

Accompanied by this roar, the entire abyss rift trembled violently, the cliffs on both sides collapsed, and countless giant rocks tumbled down!

The thick, purple-black Devilish Qi surged and rolled crazily like boiling water, and a terrifying pressure that could freeze the Soul erupted from the bottom of the abyss like a tangible tsunami!

"Very strong... as strong as the Demon-Subduing Lotus Root Powder, or even higher!"

Lu Jiuyuan's eyes lit up; this thing was good stuff! Good resources!

A vast outline slowly emerged amidst the churning Devilish Qi.

It was a terrifying demonic shadow a thousand zhang tall, possessing nine hideous heads and eighteen eyes as large as football stadiums, coldly staring at Lu Jiuyuan in the sky.

Eighteen giant arms covered in pitch-black scales waved within the Devilish Qi, each palm seemingly capable of crushing mountains!

"The juniors below were just playing here to train! You bug-like Human Race, how dare you violate this?"

"Do you think this Demon is dead?"

Nine heads roared simultaneously, a deafening sound, overlapping with a power that could tear apart the Divine Soul.

"Hahahaha, a bigger guy has come!" Lu Jiuyuan laughed loudly, and facing this Devil God emitting terrifying fluctuations, he did not hold back.

"If you can survive one sword strike from me, we can talk about the rest!"

"Imperial Rank—Interstice!"

The surrounding space instantly solidified, everything seemingly turning into amber.

Inside Lu Jiuyuan's body, three thousand six hundred inner Small Worlds resonated and trembled crazily!

His body turned into particles, using the three thousand six hundred inner Small Worlds as the sword edge, and the other particles as the sword body.

Transforming his body into a sword, a six-fold speed increase, the Invincible Vajra body arrangement, and a three-fold reinforcement of copper skin and iron bones!

When the weight of a world and the Invincible Vajra shell that could not be invaded by ten thousand Laws were accelerated to the limit, what kind of power would it be?

The nine-headed Devil God did not know either; when Lu Jiuyuan unleashed this move, all nine of its heads were gone!

"An ant that cannot even take one sword strike from me is not worthy of speaking to me!"

Lu Jiuyuan pointed a finger, and crimson flames burned fiercely, directly wrapping the thousand-zhang-tall giant corpse.

It was too big!

Lu Jiuyuan looked at the blazing thousand-zhang demonic body and frowned slightly.

Such a massive corpse, while refining it as a whole could maximize the retention of its Origin, would take too long and be too conspicuous.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Lu Jiuyuan drew his fingers across the air.

"Sword transforms into ten thousand!"

Thousands of condensed, solid, tiny sword lights split from his fingertips, the Sword Qi like silk!

The sword light was like rain, precisely cutting into every joint, bone gap, and energy node of the nine-headed Devil God's massive demonic body.

"Chi chi chi chi—!"

Dense and light cutting sounds merged into one, like silkworms eating leaves.

That thousand-zhang demonic body, under the dissection of thousands of sword lights, was decomposed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The scales, harder than divine gold, were easily peeled off, the thick bones were cut along the grain, and the knotted muscles were analyzed and guided by the sword light, divided into several thousand relatively uniform pieces!

The whole process was dazzlingly fast, yet it carried a flowing, aesthetic beauty.

In just three or five breaths, the terrifying demonic body that was originally daunting had disappeared, replaced by thousands of neat, house-sized essence blocks of flesh and bone floating in mid-air!

The cross-section of each piece was smooth as a mirror, and the demonic blood and energy were perfectly sealed within, without the slightest leakage.

"Phoenix True Flame, differentiate and refine truth!"

Lu Jiuyuan raised his hands, and the crimson-gold Phoenix True Flame wrapping the demonic body's remains suddenly surged, then similarly split into thousands of slightly smaller flame lotuses, each precisely supporting and wrapping a piece of the Devil God's remains.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!"

The flame lotuses burned violently. The Devil God's remains quickly shrank and condensed in the flames, and the Impurities were completely burned into nothingness.

Only the purest, richest essence of flesh and blood energy and fragmented Devil God Law fragments remained.

The speed of this refining was more than a hundred times faster than refining it as a whole!

In just half a cup of tea, thousands of flame lotuses extinguished one after another.
