Chapter 139 Golden Core (Part 2)
At a critical moment, a strand of sword intent emerged from Pang Yue's soul!
This sword intent gave only one impression, and that was absolute, ultimate sharpness.
In an instant, his soul seemed to transform into a sharp blade.
Fierce, domineering, and capable of destroying all things!
While his soul remained motionless, the dark golden light patterns surging close to him suddenly split apart evenly.
The demonic intent came to an abrupt halt.
Inside the Heavenly Demon Dao-Seizing Grand Formation, Pang Yue suddenly opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
He looked at the two women by the edge of the formation, who wore expressions of concern, and nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
Over the past twenty years, his avatar had cultivated the Nine Swords of the Human Emperor.
Although he was constrained by cultivation resources and the secrets of the Myriad Transformations Demonic Sect and had not practiced the technique himself, he had completely mastered the sword intent of the Nine Swords of the Human Emperor.
The Heaven-Rifting Sword was indeed invincible.
Had it not been for this, he would have had the confidence to crush the demonic thoughts with his soul essence, which was comparable to the Golden Core tier. However, doing so would have caused consumption, ultimately falling into a secondary grade.
The magic talisman transformed by the Time-Light Heavenly Demon flew back to Pang Yue's side and vanished in a flash.
Pang Yue immediately felt a very distinct and incredible change occur throughout his entire body!
It was an essential transformation of his soul, mana, and physical body.
The Dao-Seizing technique of the Heavenly Demon relied on using the quintessence of the heavenly demon to nourish and反哺 (feedback) oneself.
The key lay right here.
He steadied his mind and sensed that outside the grand formation, within the unfathomable extraterrestrial void, two other auras were slowly approaching.
*Invincible Beginning from Sacrificing the Ancestor*
He stood atop the shoulder of the Boundless Light Buddha, hands clasped behind his back, his gaze profound, staring fixedly at the center of the formation without blinking.
Not even the time it takes to brew half a cup of tea passed.
A wondrous light gracefully descended.
A pitch-black, ancient bell covered in cracks suddenly materialized within the wondrous light.
A Buddha's light of supreme density ruthlessly suppressed downward!
Surrender... Surrender... Surrender...
Waves of grand Buddhist chants resounded through the void.
Dong!
Dong!
Dong!
Three consecutive bell tolls rang out.
Even more brilliant dark golden light patterns emerged and slowly expanded outward.
Wherever the light patterns passed, the Buddhist chants were infinitely prolonged.
The Buddha's light, as if congealed, halted in the void.
Time within the area covered by the light patterns seemed to stand still!
"Late Dao Foundation..."
Pang Yue's gaze flickered; the demonic aura emanating from this Time-Light Heavenly Demon had unexpectedly reached the late Dao Foundation stage!
Daring not to be careless, a delicate dharma altar appeared in his palm.
This dharma altar had eighteen tiers, its body hollowed out. Inside, talismans competed to flash, radiating brilliant and hypnotic lights that constantly shifted, intertwining to form flickering ripples.
The Yin-Yang Demonic Canon Reversing Cosmos Altar!
The inner radiance of the dharma altar gently revolved.
The expanding momentum of the dark golden light patterns instantly stopped, and then they rolled backward!
The Time-Light Heavenly Demon swayed gently, retracting the dark golden light patterns, and flashed instantly to the crown of the golden Buddha.
Ignoring the intense Buddha's light, it locked solely onto Pang Yue and descended upon him from above.
Dong!
Simultaneously.
The dark golden light patterns fell once more, creepingly surging toward Pang Yue's side.
Pang Yue smiled faintly, holding the altar in his hand, protected by the Great Sun Glazed Precious Flame Buddha's light around his body, entirely unafraid.
The dark golden light patterns rolled backward once again, and the Time-Light Heavenly Demon was also blocked by the Buddha's light, emitting blazing demonic light as it resisted.
A flash of golden light emanated from the hand of the Boundless Light Buddha, revealing a golden-flamed commandment blade that fiercely slashed toward the Time-Light Heavenly Demon.
Another beam of mirror light quietly appeared, freezing the transformations of the Time-Light Heavenly Demon.
When it came to spell combat and grasping the timing of battle, having understood the divine abilities of the Time-Light Heavenly Demon, Pang Yue was utterly fearless.
A Golden Core-tier puppet, boundless and invincible Buddhist power, a third-tier magic treasure, the Profound-Fixing Mirror... So many means combined to deal with a Dao Foundation-tier heavenly demon was truly bullying the demon somewhat.
The instant the Time-Light Heavenly Demon was trapped, the golden blade light flashed and vanished.
A neat crack split across the Time-Light Heavenly Demon, dividing it into two!
Demonic aura rolled behind Pang Yue, transforming into countless talismans that flew out and enveloped the corpse of the Time-Light Heavenly Demon...
Within the Sea of Consciousness.
The demonic thought reappeared.
Yet that Heaven-Rifting sword intent was even faster!
The moment the demonic thought emerged, it was met by the sword intent, silently and quietly cleaved into nothingness.
An exuberant and surging aura suddenly erupted from Pang Yue, his mana boiling and violently surging like a volcano about to erupt, overflowing.
A flash of enlightenment arose in his heart.
At this moment, only the final step remained before reaching the Golden Core!
"Still not enough..."
With a profound gaze, he looked toward the center of the grand formation and said in a deep voice.
Forming hand seals with both hands, he drove the Heavenly Demon Dao-Seizing Grand Formation with all his might, summoning the heavenly demon to descend into the mortal realm.
A wondrous light of dazzling brilliance crashed down.
Demonic aura, as vast as the blazing sun, instantly filled the entire hall.
An even more dilapidated and decaying pitch-black bell leisurely appeared before Pang Yue.
A Golden Core Heavenly Demon!
The moment it appeared.
A beam of mirror light shone upon its landing spot in advance.
Prediction.
A very common technique in online games from his previous life.
The Time-Light Heavenly Demon paused slightly, frozen for less than the snap of a finger.
Yet within that fleeting instant.
A dense and blazing cluster of Buddha's light suddenly enveloped it, refining it!
A bizarre rebound force resisted its next movement.
Finally, an incomparably brilliant and astonishing sword light flashed past!
Zheng!
Amidst the muffled sound of a sword hum, a sword scar appeared upon the Time-Light Heavenly Demon.
Everything happened in the snap of a finger.
There were no redundant moves, nor a single moment of wasted delay.
The attacks of the three Golden Core-tier entities appeared upon the Time-Light Heavenly Demon almost simultaneously.
Everything seemed to have been meticulously calculated, without the slightest error!
The contest between victory and defeat is decided in a flash.
To deal with this heavenly demon, Pang Yue had even employed the Innate Wuji Stele.
The moment the Time-Light Heavenly Demon split open, Pang Yue's figure flickered, transforming into a thick cloud of black mist that lunged forward fiercely, pouring into the interior of the Time-Light Heavenly Demon!
The next moment, demonic light exploded, and the Time-Light Heavenly Demon shattered into pieces.
...
Within the Sea of Consciousness.
The demonic thought quietly appeared.
Pang Yue's divine sense and soul had no power to resist and were instantly pulled into a pitch-black, lightless space.
Dark golden light patterns overlapped layer upon layer, filling the entire space.
Pang Yue's divine sense disintegrated instantly and vanished without a trace.
Only his soul, possessing the essence of a Golden Core, managed to hold on with difficulty.
The overbearing and peerless demonic thought surged from all directions, seeping inward.
Pang Yue's soul grew sluggish; even a single thought might take several days to turn.
Motionless, his soul was swiftly enveloped and permeated by the demonic thought.
Suddenly!
A minute, straight crack appeared within the pitch-black space.
It closed the very next instant.
Yet the next moment, the crack appeared once more.
Having dyed and transformed the outer layer of Pang Yue's soul, the demonic thought shockingly discovered that its core was actually a peerlessly sharp sword intent.
When it attempted to transform this sword intent, it was instantly sliced apart...
No matter which direction it came from, the demonic thought was met with a razor-sharp edge!
The space continuously shattered and mended, shattered and mended...
How much time passed, no one knew, but a trace of change finally appeared within that soul!
The sword intent divided into five and slowly descended.
Wherever the sword intent passed, the demonic thought split apart.
The first stance of the Nine Swords of the Human Emperor... Five Dragons.
Though merely sword intent, it made the demonic thought impossible to mend...
At that exact moment, the intangible toll of a bell spread outward.
It was as if an invisible giant hand had pulled time backward.
The five strands of sword intent slowly closed again, returning to their origin!
