The melodious zither music not only suppressed Chen Jiuyang's emotions but also affected his soul and physical body, rendering him unable to muster strength. Silken threads of magical power from the ancient zither began to slash towards Chen Jiuyang.
"Bang—"
"Bang—"
Chen Jiuyang practiced the martial path. Once his will was suppressed, his combat power immediately faltered. The fire laws entwining his body began to decay.
After resisting only two threads, they dissipated.
"Hiss—"
One thread pierced directly through Chen Jiuyang's physical body. The blood of his Qianyang Dao Body splattered out, exciting the women of the Joyful Union Sect.
They had never encountered such high-quality essence blood before.
If they could turn Chen Jiuyang into a cultivation furnace, their cultivation would surely skyrocket.
The hundreds of elders from the True Demon Sect watched this scene, their brows furrowed.
Their Sect Master, Chen Jiuyang, was a peerless prodigy. Since entering the Heaven Realm, he had never suffered any injuries, let alone his might after entering the Venerable Realm. When facing enemies, he always crushed them with overwhelming force.
"The techniques of these Joyful Union Sect women are rather insidious."
"It appears only Sect Master Bie Huan is acting, but in reality, it's the combined power of six individuals focused on one person. Coupled with the prestige of the Sect Master position, a cultivator at the Void Returning stage can actually unleash the 'Burial Joy Melody,' a forbidden art lost for ages."
"Our Sect Master practices the martial path, and his physical strength is extremely formidable. He is also a divine body. Even against such a deadly forbidden art, he should be able to hold on for a while. It remains to be seen how our Sect Master will break through this deadly forbidden art."
"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"
Within moments, hundreds of wounds appeared on Chen Jiuyang's body, and blood flowed from within him.
Chen Jiuyang's will was too heavily suppressed, his thoughts moving extremely slowly. The dual attack targeting his soul and body from both the origin and the laws made him somewhat unable to cope.
However, this was the brutal and terrifying struggle of the demonic path.
The Sect Master was the leader of the pack.
How could he not be ruthless?
"Zhu Rong..." Chen Jiuyang tried to unleash a divine ability, but his suppressed will prevented him from mobilizing the true liquid and magical power within his acupoints.
He was so suppressed that he couldn't even cast divine abilities.
He had fallen into the opponent's insidious trap.
If this continued, even he would perish here in regret.
All the female cultivators of the Joyful Union Sect watched this scene with excitement: "If it continues like this, won't our Sect Master be able to defeat the True Saint Sect Master and take him as her own cultivation furnace?"
"If she can defeat the True Saint Sect Master, after she has enjoyed him, we sisters should also be able to taste the flavor of this cultivation furnace."
Upon thinking of this, they became excited and thrilled, their faces flushed.
Chen Jiuyang thought to himself:
There's no other way.
Although Chen Jiuyang was reluctant to use this move.
"Red... dust... myriad... races, fear... me... as... heaven..."
After laboriously uttering these eight words.
"Rumble!!!"
A great terror, unknowable and unfathomable, instantly descended upon the scene, followed by an aura that defied heaven and earth, causing everyone's expressions to change.
"Whoosh..."
This forbidden divine ability, which defied heavenly principles, required no magical power. It only needed the true explanation of the characters inscribed in the river of time to be recited to be unleashed.
With the activation of this divine ability, all the negative emotions and pressures on Chen Jiuyang instantly vanished.
"Boom!!!"
Even more vigorous flames erupted from Chen Jiuyang's body. In just a breath, his damaged physical body was completely repaired.
The Qianyang Dao Body, combined with the origin of fire and the laws of fire, was truly formidable.
Seeing Chen Jiuyang's aura restored, Sect Master Bie Huan's beautiful pupils constricted: "The forbidden art has failed. What move did he use?"
Chen Jiuyang immediately drew his saber: "Ocean Shaker!"
In an instant!
Light flashed like a meteor, incredibly brilliant, and he slashed towards Sect Master Bie Huan with a single saber strike.
"Bang—"
A sudden, immense sound of momentum erupted.
Bie Huan's figure was sent flying backward. Her posture was somewhat disheveled, but she was not seriously injured. The ancient zither phantom in front of her protected her.
This was the first person who had withstood Chen Jiuyang's Ocean Shaker without being severely injured.
"More troublesome than I imagined."
Bie Huan played the ancient zither in her hand with increasing intensity.
Even the onlookers were affected.
However, Chen Jiuyang was completely unaffected. This divine ability that defied heavenly principles could ignore all other divine abilities. In return, Chen Jiuyang felt an invisible pressure from the heavens and earth, giving him the feeling that the sky was about to collapse and crush him.
He dared not maintain this divine ability any longer and immediately deactivated it.
"Chi You!"
"Clang!"
A blue phantom suddenly appeared, but it was not the hundred-meter-tall form. Instead, it better matched Chen Jiuyang's size.
Chen Jiuyang was now like Chi You. The phantom's seven arms moved abruptly. Two phantom arms held a bow, and Chen Jiuyang's true physical hands used a trace of the origin of fire as an arrow, drawing a full moon.
"Boom!!!"
The moment this arrow was loosed from the bow, it locked onto Bie Huan. An overwhelming killing intent surged forth, changing the color of the sky and earth, turning it fiery red!
"Hiss—"
This arrow instantly pierced through Bie Huan's physical body. Then, raging flames wrapped around her body. Although her body could emit white mist to resist the flames, it couldn't withstand the large hole that had been opened, and the origin of fire was burning her soul.
She was an immortal cultivator, and her soul was of utmost importance.
Chen Jiuyang took a step forward and rushed to Bie Huan's side. The Yan Sheng Saber in his hand suddenly emitted a sonic boom that pierced eardrums, and he slashed towards Bie Huan.
"Bang—"
The immense force and the power contained within directly carved a heart-pounding crack in the ground. However, this saber strike from Chen Jiuyang did not hit Bie Huan.
Instead, it struck a piece of her clothing.
Chen Jiuyang's brows furrowed, his expression sharp: "Flower Transferring, Substitute Death Divine Ability."
This divine ability was a unique secret technique of the Joyful Union Sect.
But he could not give Bie Huan a chance to counterattack.
In an instant, Bie Huan's figure appeared a thousand meters away from Chen Jiuyang. Her outer robe had been stripped off, revealing her face, which was exquisitely beautiful to the extreme. Her upper body was left with only a bellyband, and large swathes of snow-white, tender skin were exposed to the air.
Chen Jiuyang's eyes hardened, and he picked up a spear from Chi You's seven arms.
Towards Bie Huan's figure, he poured all his strength and threw it fiercely at the location where Bie Huan was.
"Boom!"
Piercing the clouds and breaking the air, it left a red and blue interwoven trail.
"Bang—"
This spear immediately hit Bie Huan.
"Crash—"
Bie Huan, who had just repaired her physical body, was once again pinned with a large hole by this spear.
Chen Jiuyang reached out towards her from a distance, veins bulging on his forehead, and roared:
"Momentum!"
Bie Huan's physical body instantly stiffened, unable to move.
The surrounding spiritual energy and essence were frozen, rendering her unable to mobilize them. Her expression changed several times as she watched Chen Jiuyang step forward, his speed reaching the extreme, arriving before her in an instant and preparing to blast her with a punch.
Bie Huan took a deep breath and sighed, saying quickly:
"I concede, Sect Master of Qianyang Sect, show mercy."
