Chapter 1492 The Great Demon Descends
At this moment, in the sky above "New Guangtian", the layers of space rippled like a glass mirror in the huge cracks that stretched across the sky.

Amidst the interplay of light and shadow, a colossal phantom, large enough to obscure the clouds, slowly emerged. Its outline flickered in and out of view in the undulating space, yet it already exuded a suffocating pressure.

The phantom hovered in the turbulent space, its entire form ethereal and elusive, like a fragmented image stripped of all its colors.

Only a rough outline can be made out, and even the edges are constantly distorted and blurred in the spatial ripples.

Even with Su Fan's eyes wide open, trying his best to penetrate the space barrier that reflected the faint light, he still couldn't see the true form of the phantom.

All one could feel was that terrifying aura, far beyond the ordinary, slowly spreading down along the crack.

"Ouch..."

A deafening roar suddenly came from the depths of the crack, the sound waves like a solidified hammer, slamming hard into Su Fan's chest.

He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, the warm liquid sliding down the corner of his mouth. His ears were instantly filled with a buzzing sound, and his consciousness became briefly blurred. The scene before his eyes also began to sway.

Before he could recover, a giant claw covered in dark black scales suddenly emerged from the crack.

The edges of the scales gleamed with a cold, sharp light; each scale was the size of a millstone, reflecting a chilling luster in the dim light of the day.

The sharp claws at the fingertips were like curved steel knives. The sharp tips simply hung down naturally, causing the ground below to be pressed into five deep trenches, each several feet deep, by an invisible demonic force.

Wisps of black demonic energy still lingered in the ravines, scorching the surrounding vegetation.

With a gentle squeeze of its giant claw, the surrounding space was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and the cracking sounds were incessant.

It was as if the entire world of "Xin Guangtian" was about to be crushed by this hand, and even the air seemed to freeze.

Su Fan stared at the ever-expanding crack in the sky, feeling the oppressive force that threatened to crush his soul. His heart pounded wildly in his chest, as if it would break free of the restraints on his ribs at any moment.

The lightning mark on his palm had quietly begun to glow faintly, its weak light appearing particularly insignificant amidst the terrifying demonic aura.

However, he could clearly sense that the aura emanating from the crack was a hundred times more terrifying than any ninth-tier beast king he had ever encountered.

That was the oppressive aura of a great demon from the upper realm, carrying an arrogance and brutality that crushed all living beings in the lower realm, allowing no resistance whatsoever.

He instantly understood that the great demon from the upper realm summoned by the "Mountain and Sea Realm" had already descended in its true form.

This wasn't the first time Su Fan had experienced such a terrifying scene.

The sight of the Celestial Race's powerful figure descending in his true form last time still haunts him.

Even so, the oppressive aura emanating from this great demon was several times stronger than that of the Celestial Race leader, almost causing his knees to buckle uncontrollably.

However, it is far too arrogant for the strange beasts of the "Mountain and Sea Realm" to dare to summon the true forms of great demons from the upper realm twice in a short period of time.

Aren't they afraid that this move will completely enrage the upper-level leaders of the human Daoist sects and bring about their annihilation?

At this moment, Su Fan was unaware that the "Mountain and Sea Realm" beast's summoning of the great demon from the upper realm was actually all for the purpose of dealing with him alone.

Su Fan never considered that possibility; he never thought of himself as particularly extraordinary.

He was merely a cultivator struggling to survive in dire straits; how could he possibly warrant such a massive attack from the other side?

Just then, Su Fan suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, and the hairs on his body stood on end instantly, making him instinctively alert.

The next second, he clearly realized that he was being firmly locked onto by an invisible aura.

That aura, like a deep, starry gaze, pierced through the void of heaven and earth. No matter the mountains, clouds, or spatial barriers, all material obstacles were easily penetrated and shot straight at him.

Under that gaze, Su Fan felt as if he had been completely seen through.

It felt as if all the secrets and weaknesses in one's heart were exposed to the other person, leaving no room for concealment.

His pupils suddenly contracted, and a bone-chilling cold shot from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head, as if the blood in his body had instantly frozen.

It was like falling into an ice cave in the dead of winter, unable to move at all, and even breathing became difficult.

Only now did Su Fan belatedly realize that the great demon descending upon them was likely there to deal with him.

What the hell...

What merit or ability did Laozi possess to make the strange beasts of the "Mountain and Sea Realm" specially summon the true form of a great demon from the upper realm?

Su Fan knew very well that with his current cultivation level, he had no chance of winning against the true form of a great demon from the upper realm.

The only chance of survival is to temporarily hide by using the power of the void and then look for an opportunity to counterattack.

Thinking of this, he did not hesitate at all, and quickly formed hand seals with his fingertips, using the "Void Concealment Technique" with all his might.

The spiritual energy around him surged suddenly, and a faint spatial ripple spread across his body, like a pebble thrown into water.

The next second, his figure merged into the void, and his aura also disappeared. If one did not investigate carefully, one would not be able to detect his presence at all.

Su Fan looked up at the sky through the void. At this moment, an incredibly huge phantom of a beast slowly emerged from the spatial rift, its outline several times clearer than before.

He could vaguely make out the true form of this great demon from that illusory figure.

It was a giant ape with three heads and six arms, each head grotesque and terrifying, exuding a chilling ferocity.

The head in the middle has two curved horns covered with black patterns, and its eyes are blood red, with dark blue flames dancing in its pupils, as if they could burn everything in the world.

The left side of the head was covered with scars of varying depths, and the corner of the mouth stretched to the ear, revealing two rows of gleaming white fangs. Dark red bloodstains remained on the fangs, emitting a pungent, bloody smell.

The right side of the head was covered with thick bone armor, from which black demonic energy seeped. Only a pair of cold eyes revealed a cruel indifference to all life, as if any living being was nothing more than an ant in its eyes.

Each of the six arms held a different weapon.

Some held a giant bone axe covered with barbs, with dried blackish-red bloodstains still remaining on the axe body, and the axe blade gleaming with a cold light that could cut through spiritual energy.

Some of them gripped a pitch-black chain, around which countless phantoms of vengeful spirits were entwined. With each sway, a mournful wail was heard, as if countless wronged souls were struggling and wailing within it.

Other arms transformed directly into sharp bone blades, their surfaces covered with fine patterns and gleaming with a chilling light. Merely approaching them caused the surrounding spiritual energy to become disordered.

The giant ape demon was surrounded by incredibly dense black demonic energy, each strand of which was as thick as a water bucket.

Like a black dragon, it hovered in the air, occasionally unleashing a few streaks of demonic energy that struck the ground, creating a bottomless crater. Thick black smoke billowed from the crater, and even the hard soil was burned into a glassy state by the demonic energy, emitting a pungent, burnt smell.

The colossal demonic body, over ten thousand feet tall, stood between heaven and earth. Its bluish-black scales gleamed with a metallic sheen in the dim light, each scale resembling a sturdy suit of armor covering the giant ape's body.

A pair of tattered fleshy wings slowly unfolded behind it. The wing membranes were covered with holes, yet they still blocked half the sky, blocking out a large portion of the sunlight and plunging the ground into darkness.

When this giant ape demon, over ten thousand feet tall, stepped onto the land of Xinguangtian, the entire earth shook violently, as if a severe earthquake had occurred.

Centered on its feet, black cracks spread rapidly outwards.

The demonic power surging from the crack caused the surrounding vegetation to wither and turn black instantly, and even the hard rocks began to weather and crumble into fine sand.

The spiritual energy in the air was completely polluted, turning into a corrosive black mist. Inhaling it would cause a burning pain in the lungs, as if they were being scorched by fire.

If an ordinary cultivator were to get close, their very soul would likely be torn apart by this demonic power.

Even so, it was only because the great demons of the upper realm were suppressed by the Heavenly Dao rules of "New Guangtian" that their demonic power was weakened by more than half, and their current strength was less than one-tenth of what it used to be.

If its true form were to descend without hindrance, the entire "New Guangtian" would probably be unable to withstand its immense demonic power, and would be directly shaken to pieces and completely collapsed.

The giant ape demon slowly looked around, its scarlet vertical pupils resembling two blood moons suspended in the air.

Wherever the gaze fell, the grass and trees withered and turned black instantly, and even the spiritual energy in the air seemed to be drained away, leaving only a suffocating demonic aura that made the whole world feel oppressive.

When it sensed that Su Fan's aura had suddenly disappeared, a hint of confusion appeared in its eyes, and its scarlet pupils contracted slightly, as if it were pondering where the other party had gone.

"Ouch..."

Another chilling roar came, this time even more violent than before, like the roars of countless ferocious beasts superimposed together, carrying an arrogant and impatient disdain for the world.

The next second, the giant ape demon suddenly raised its arm holding the bone axe and slashed down fiercely in the direction where Su Fan was hiding.

The moment the giant axe was swung, a huge black axe beam flew out from the axe blade.

Wherever the axe's blade passed, space was cleaved open, revealing a pitch-black rift that even light was swallowed up.

Hiding in the void, Su Fan felt a strong aura of death rushing towards him, making him feel cold all over.

The terrifying pressure from the axe's edge almost stopped the flow of blood in his body. The three forces in his dantian were surging wildly, but they were firmly suppressed by the invisible pressure, leaving him without even the strength to raise his arm to resist.

He watched the approaching black axe beam, his pupils reflecting a terrifying scene of the world being torn apart, and his heart was filled with despair.

In the past, hiding in the void always allowed him to avoid fatal attacks in desperate situations; this was his most relied-upon means of survival.

Su Fan never expected that his proud technique of concealing himself in the void would be so easily discovered by his opponent, without even a chance to recover.

Before the dark axe light even got close, the space around him was already locked by an invisible force, as if forming a solid cage.

Even through a spatial barrier, he could clearly feel countless invisible chains wrapped around his body, constricting his bones and making it incredibly difficult to move.

"Rumble..."

The giant axe slammed down on the void in front of Su Fan, unleashing terrifying power in an instant.

The entire world seemed to be crushed and collapsed by an invisible force, and the surrounding space shattered like glass, making a crisp cracking sound.

At the same time, a terrifying energy shockwave spread outwards, unleashing a world-ending storm that swept away and tore apart rocks, vegetation, and other vegetation on the ground.

The void barrier where Su Fan was located shattered completely, and his concealed figure was forcibly shaken out.

He flew backward like a kite with a broken string, spitting out another mouthful of blood, and his body crashed heavily onto a distant mountain peak.

With a loud bang, the entire hill collapsed, sending rocks flying and dust billowing everywhere.

The giant ape demon's pair of scarlet vertical pupils were fixed on Su Fan, who was struggling to get up from the pile of rubble in the distance.

The murderous aura emanating from it enveloped the world as if it were a tangible force, almost freezing the air and making it difficult for Su Fan to even breathe.

Su Fan struggled to get up from the ground. At this moment, he felt as if all the bones in his body were broken. Every movement brought intense pain, and blood kept flowing from the corner of his mouth.

But he did not back down at all, and straightened his body.

He raised his head and looked firmly at the towering giant ape demon opposite him.

There was no fear in their eyes, only an indomitable will.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes blazing with a fighting spirit far greater than before, and he had only one thought in his mind.

When a person dies, the bird flies to the sky; if they don't die, they live for ten thousand years!
Even if I die today, I will tear a piece of flesh from your body. I will never let the other party succeed so easily.

As death drew ever closer, the twin runes within Su Fan's body, which had been dormant for a long time, suddenly became scorching hot.

That was the Yin-Yang Twin Power that he had only recently comprehended, and now it seemed to sense his crisis and started to operate on its own.

A warm energy flowed through his meridians, relieving his pain and invigorating his spirit.

Su Fan held nothing back, his hands forming hand seals so fast that afterimages appeared, almost turning into blurry streaks of light.

Even the Yin-Yang Twin Power, which he had just comprehended but had not yet fully mastered, was completely infused into his magic technique.

Not only did golden lightning surge around him, coiling around him like small snakes, but wisps of black and white energy also swirled around him.

That was the Yin-Yang power activated by the Twin Marks, intertwined with lightning, radiating a powerful aura.

Countless tiny arcs of lightning gathered in his palm, interspersed with wisps of chaotic energy, making the lightning's color even deeper.

The oppressive force of thunder in the air instantly multiplied several times, and even the shattered space around it trembled violently under the dual impact of lightning and yin-yang power, emitting bursts of buzzing.

At this moment, a hint of amusement appeared in the giant ape demon's crimson eyes.

In its eyes, Su Fan was nothing more than a reptile from the lower realm, which it could kill with a flick of its wrist, and was not worth its full effort.

The reason it didn't kill immediately was simply to see what kind of magic this tenacious reptile could use, as a pastime.
