Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1434 The Final Battle Between Humans and Demons (Part 3)

The moment the Demon Emperor unleashed the small black mirror, Liu Changxu's expression changed drastically, and his heart sank. How could he not know that this was a soul treasure? Within the dark radiance flowing across the mirror's surface lay a malevolent power capable of directly devouring souls; the slightest carelessness would result in the annihilation of one's soul.

"not good!"

He let out a low shout, and before he could think, his magical power surged wildly into the Ruyi Soul-Extinguishing Lamp. The ghostly flame in the lamp wick shot up high and instantly wove a purple light curtain in front of him.

Almost the instant the light barrier solidified, the small black mirror shot out a beam of jet-black light, striking the barrier squarely. With a sizzling sound, the light barrier trembled violently, the runes crackling as they were burned by the beam, showing signs of disintegration.

Cold sweat beaded on Liu Changxu's forehead as he desperately maintained his magical output, doing his utmost to resist the black beams of light emitted by the Soul-Devouring Mirror.

Just as the Demon Emperor was focusing all his efforts on dealing with Liu Changxu, Jin Haonan seized this fleeting opportunity and swiftly summoned his spiritual treasure longsword. The blade instantly expanded, transforming into a massive silver blade that spanned the heavens and the earth. Its blade light poured down like a silver river, carrying a terrifying power that could tear through the void, and slashed down towards the Demon Emperor.

Seeing this, the Demon Emperor had no choice but to focus all his attention on defending himself. His demonic energy surged and formed a shield, allowing him to withstand Jin Haonan's fierce attack.

However, he did not give up suppressing Liu Changxu. With a thought, the Soul-Devouring Mirror floated in mid-air and shot gray light towards Liu Changxu on its own.

However, without the Demon Emperor personally infusing magic power, the power of the mirror light has been greatly reduced, and its color has also dimmed somewhat.

Seeing this, Liu Changxu simply turned the Ruyi Soul-Extinguishing Lamp slightly, and the dark purple lamp flame transformed into a barrier, easily blocking the gray light that had been weakened by most of its intensity.

At this moment, Liu Changxu had completely stabilized his position and regained control of the battle rhythm.

He made a hand seal with his fingertips, and the thirty-six Crimson Lotus Immortal Swords instantly accelerated their rotation, the sword net becoming increasingly dense. The Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire burned fiercely, launching a relentless attack on the Demon Emperor from all directions. The sword energy and flames intertwined to form a net that trapped him firmly in the center.

At the same time, the silver light of the Ruyi Kongxuan Mirror also moved at the right time, suddenly lighting up from time to time, briefly imprisoning the Demon Emperor in the void.

Although the Demon Emperor could forcibly tear apart the confinement by relying on his spacetime magic, each breakout was accompanied by a severe depletion of his internal magical power. His originally robust aura gradually became disordered, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Clearly, the consumption of dealing with this dual pressure was making it increasingly difficult for him to sustain himself.

Seeing this, Jin Haonan intensified his attack, not forgetting to send a telepathic message to Liu Changxu:

"He can't hold on much longer, give it your all!"

Liu Changxu nodded, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and suddenly his magical power surged. The thirty-six Crimson Lotus Immortal Swords hummed, and the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire on their blades suddenly surged, instantly forming a raging sea of ​​fire that engulfed the Demon Emperor, creating an impenetrable wall of fire.

The Demon Emperor was trapped in the center of the sea of ​​fire. The Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire clashed violently with the protective demonic shield around him, producing a sizzling sound. He frantically channeled his demonic power to try and break through the sea of ​​fire, but the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire was specifically designed to extinguish evil spirits. With Liu Changxu's full-force activation, the fire only intensified, firmly locking his figure in the center.

"Today is your death day!"

Liu Changxu's voice was as cold as ice. With another flick of his fingertips, the Crimson Lotus Sword Formation in the sea of ​​fire suddenly accelerated its rotation, the sword net weaving more and more tightly, pressing closer and closer to the Demon Emperor, determined to completely annihilate the demon.

The balance of power in the war has shifted completely without anyone realizing it.

Even in dire straits, the Demon Emperor showed no fear in his eyes, only a mad, ferocious light. He simultaneously activated the Soul-Devouring Demon Mirror to launch a soul attack on Liu Changxu, while also unleashing demonic powers to clash head-on with Jin Haonan's magical longsword. Each collision erupted with deafening roars, demonic energy and sword light scattering in all directions—a desperate, life-or-death struggle. As for the surrounding Red Lotus Sword Formation, he simply ceased any deliberate defense, pushing his protective shield to its limit. The shield trembled violently under the scorching karmic fire and the slashing of the immortal sword, becoming covered in spiderweb-like cracks, yet it stubbornly held on.

"You want to kill me? Not so easy!"

The Demon Emperor roared, and his protective light shield suddenly expanded, forcing back the approaching immortal sword. At the same time, the Soul-Devouring Demon Mirror shot out a thick gray beam of light, rushing towards Liu Changxu, clearly intending to take someone down with it.

Liu Changxu's eyes narrowed, and the Ruyi Kongxuan Mirror instantly appeared in front of him. The silver mirror light collided with the gray light, emitting a piercing explosion.

Jin Haonan seized this fleeting opening, manipulating his magical longsword with immense power, and slashed fiercely at the Demon Emperor's surging protective aura.

"Boom——!"

A deafening roar echoed through the sky, and the light shield shattered instantly like broken glass, turning into countless black specks of light that vanished without a trace.

Almost at the same instant the light shield shattered, several Crimson Lotus Immortal Swords, which had been poised to strike, flashed through the gap like crimson lightning and accurately slashed at the Demon Emperor's body.

With a few muffled "pfft" sounds, the deep, bone-revealing wound instantly burst open, and black demonic blood gushed out, instantly vaporizing into smoke in the air by the blazing red lotus karmic fire.

Immediately afterwards, the raging flames swept upwards, completely engulfing the Demon Emperor's entire body. Amidst the blazing flames, the severely wounded Demon Emperor let out an extremely shrill roar, his aura rapidly fading.

Liu Changxu's eyes were icy as he manipulated the Crimson Lotus Immortal Sword to pierce through the sea of ​​fire repeatedly, quickly extinguishing the Demon Emperor's last vestige of life. Even his primordial spirit could not escape, leaving only the Soul-Devouring Demon Mirror and the Demon Emperor's storage bracelet.

"Junior brother, I'll take this Soul-Devouring Demon Mirror, and you can have all the spiritual items in the storage bracelet, how about it?"

Jin Haonan transmitted his voice to Liu Changxu:

Liu Changxu smiled upon hearing this and replied:

"Alright."

For him, while the Soul-Devouring Mirror was indeed a powerful magical artifact, it was ultimately an item used by the Demon Emperor of the Giant Demon Clan, and it didn't quite fit his cultivation method. He couldn't unleash its full power. Moreover, he already possessed the Ruyi Soul-Destroying Lamp, an innate divine soul treasure whose power was in no way inferior to the Soul-Devouring Mirror. Keeping this mirror would have made it a useless possession.

However, the Soul-Devouring Mirror is different for Jin Haonan. Jin Haonan's cultivation level is relatively high. If he can refine the Soul-Devouring Mirror, his combat power will definitely be directly enhanced by its ability to attack with his soul, combined with his own spiritual treasure longsword. It can be called a tailor-made weapon of mass destruction.

Jin Haonan immediately used magic to retrieve the Soul-Devouring Mirror, which still retained a faint gray light, from the ground, while Liu Changxu used magic to pick up the storage bracelet left behind by the Demon Emperor.

Just as the two were discussing how to divide the spoils, the situation on the battlefield had already undergone a dramatic change.

The six remaining troll kings were already at their limit. After sensing that their leader had been killed by a human expert, they lost all will to fight. After a brief discussion via telepathy, they quickly transformed into six streaks of dark light and fled towards the distant horizon.

When the troll army saw their supreme commander fall one after another and the remaining demon emperors flee in panic, their formation immediately collapsed. Their previously fearless offensive crumbled instantly, and they all fled in the direction the demon emperors had gone. The entire battlefield suddenly changed from fierce fighting to a one-sided pursuit.
