The spiritual energy was restored, and he became a mortal immortal in two days.

All the remnant souls, blood, and energy of the demon race within a hundred miles were forcibly extracted and poured into that demon core!

"All Demons Return to Their Origin!"

Zhu Yin coldly shouted, and the phantom of the demon core expanded a hundredfold, transforming into a pitch-black sun with a diameter of ten zhang, which crashed down towards Chen Xuan!

This attack contained the full cultivation of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm, and also fused with the remnant souls of the four fierce beasts and the blood of tens of thousands of demon soldiers. Its power was so great that it was enough to wipe the entire Blackwater Swamp off the map!

"Sir, be careful!"

Wu Minghuang tried to step forward, but Chen Xuan held her shoulder down.

"Step back."

Chen Xuan only said two words.

Then, he stepped forward and looked up at the dark sun that had crashed down.

His eyes were calm, even somewhat bored.

"this one?"

He raised his hand, not to form a hand seal, not to cast a spell, but simply to make a fist.

It was held very casually, as if it were just grasping at the air.

But the moment the fist clenched, the space within a radius of ten feet froze.

It is not a solidification at the level of laws, but pure power.

With absolute power, the spatial structure of this area was forcibly suppressed, preventing the flow of all energy, matter, and even light!

"boom!"

The pitch-black sun crashed into the frozen space, producing a deafening roar!

But strangely enough...

The sun didn't explode or spread; it was as if it had crashed into an invisible wall and was forcefully "blocked" in mid-air!

"What?!"

Zhu Yin's pupils constricted sharply. "Breaking through magic with brute force?! You actually managed to block my Myriad Demons Return to Origin technique purely with brute force?!"

Chen Xuan did not answer.

He loosened his fist and instead joined his fingers together like a sword.

There was no light or sword energy at his fingertips, only a point of power condensed to its extreme.

"break."

The word was uttered, and the fingertip pointed out.

It was placed on that pitch-black sun.

"Snap!!!"

A crack appeared on the surface of the sun.

The cracks spread rapidly, spreading like a spider web across the entire sphere!

Three breaths later—

"Bang!!!"

The pitch-black sun exploded.

But it wasn't an explosion spreading outwards; instead, it collapsed inwards!

It's like being grabbed by an invisible giant hand and forcibly crushed!

All demonic energy, remnant souls, and demonic blood were compressed to the extreme and completely annihilated!

Zhu Yin let out a muffled groan, and a trickle of black blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

The demon core illusion was shattered, and he suffered a backlash!

"Excellent! Well done, Minister Chen!"

His eyes finally showed seriousness, but even more so excitement:

"Since my reincarnation, I have never encountered an opponent who could injure me."

Let's fight to our hearts' content today!

He formed a hand seal, and the golden vertical pupil pattern between his eyebrows emitted a dazzling light!

"The true form of the Heavenly Demon has been revealed!"

"boom!!!"

The black robe ripped apart, and Zhuyin's body began to swell!

Three zhang, ten zhang, a hundred zhang! In the end, it transformed into a giant three hundred zhang tall!

The giant has three heads and six arms, each head has a pair of golden vertical pupils, and each of the six arms holds a demon weapon.

Knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, and hammers!

Every single demon weapon exudes the power of a Nascent Soul level cultivator!

"This is my true power!"

The three heads of Zhuyin spoke simultaneously, their voices booming like thunder:

"Prime Minister Chen! Take this Imperial Heavenly Demon Six Forms!"

With all six arms swinging simultaneously, the six demonic weapons unleashed six heaven-piercing attacks!

Blade light tears the sky, spear shadow pierces the void, sword energy stretches for miles, halberd light sweeps across thousands of troops, axe splits mountains, and hammer shakes the earth!

The combined power of the six techniques is close to that of the late Nascent Soul stage!

If this attack lands, not only will the Blackwater Swamp be reduced to rubble, but even Zhennan Pass, a hundred miles away... will be razed to the ground!

"teacher!"

Wu Minghuang shouted urgently.

Chen Xuan remained calm.

He looked at the six earth-shattering attacks, and finally a hint of interest appeared in his eyes.

"That's more like it."

He raised his hand, not to defend, not to dodge.

Instead, he clenched his fist.

Then, he threw a punch.

It was just an ordinary punch.

There was no light, no unusual phenomenon, not even a sound of air being torn apart.

Just like the most basic straight punch when ordinary people fight.

But the moment the fist was thrown—

"boom!!!"

The space a hundred miles ahead had collapsed.

It's not spatial shattering, nor spatial tearing.

It's a true "collapse"—like a mirror being punched through, exposing the void behind the mirror and forming an area of ​​absolute "nothingness"!

The six attacks fell into the void and disappeared without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.

It was not neutralized, nor was it destroyed.

It is "existence" that has been erased.

The three heads of Zhuyin simultaneously revealed their horror: "The void has collapsed?!"

You actually managed to break through space with pure force?! That's impossible! It's absolutely impossible for someone at the Nascent Soul stage to do that!

Chen Xuan withdrew his fist and said calmly:

"you're right."

"The Nascent Soul stage... is indeed impossible."

He took a step forward, and his aura began to rise.

Peak Golden Core... Early Nascent Soul... Mid-Nascent Soul... Late Nascent Soul...

Ultimately, it stopped at... the peak of the Nascent Soul stage!

"But who told you...?"

Chen Xuan looked up at the three-hundred-foot-tall celestial demon's true form, a cold glint in his eyes:

"I'm only at the Nascent Soul stage?"

Zhu Yin's pupils suddenly contracted.

next moment--

Chen Xuan's figure disappeared.

When it reappeared, it was already in front of the true form of Zhuyin.

He raised his hand and punched the real body in the chest.

"Thump—!!!"

Like a resounding bell, the sound shook for miles! The three-hundred-foot-tall true body trembled violently, and a clear fist-shaped imprint appeared on its chest, ten feet deep!

"puff!"

Blood gushed from all three of Zhuyin's heads simultaneously!

"The first punch is for the thirty million people of Tianfeng."

Chen Xuan's voice was icy as he unleashed his second punch!

The punch landed on his abdomen.

"Snap—!!!"

The sound of bones shattering could be clearly heard! A large hole exploded in the abdomen of the true form, and pitch-black demonic blood cascaded out like a waterfall!

"The second punch is for the three hundred years that Wu Minghuang guarded."

The third punch was aimed at the head of the real body.

Zhuyin roared, swinging all six of its arms to parry the attack! But those Nascent Soul level demon soldiers shattered the moment they touched the fist!

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"

All six demonic weapons are shattered!

The fist continued its momentum, slamming into the middle head!

"Pfft!"

The skull exploded! Black blood and brain matter splattered everywhere!

"The third punch..."

Chen Xuan withdrew his fist, looked at the collapsing true form, and coldly said:

"For my people."

The remaining two heads of Zhuyin roared in despair: "Prime Minister Chen! You cannot kill me!"

"I have long ago hidden a wisp of my divine soul in the depths of the Netherworld! The day I am reborn, I will surely slaughter the human race..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Chen Xuan raised his hand, his five fingers loosely clenched.

"The netherworld?"

He sneered:

"Then let's slay the Netherworld as well."

Bring your five fingers together.

"boom!!!"

The true form of Zhuyin completely exploded, turning into a sky full of black mist!

But Chen Xuan did not stop. He pointed his fingers like a sword and slashed at the void—

This strike did not sever matter or energy.

It's cause and effect!

The sword light disappeared into the void, pierced the boundary between Yin and Yang, and went straight into the depths of the Netherworld!

Thousands of miles away, in an ancient tomb.

A bronze lamp suddenly went out.

In the lamplight, a wisp of a soul on the verge of revival silently vanished.

The ancient demon emperor Zhuyin has completely perished.

Their souls will be scattered and they will never be reincarnated.

Chen Xuan withdrew his hand, and his aura returned to the peak of the Golden Core stage.

He turned around and looked at Wu Minghuang:

"Now, you can go."

Wu Minghuang stared at him blankly, then suddenly smiled:

"Yes, let's go home."

.......

Zhennanguan, Lingquan Bieyuan

Taiqingzi and Pei Hanchuan sat at the lower end of the table, their expressions respectful.

Wang Mingyuan from Lingxiao also arrived and stood aside, barely daring to breathe.

"The methods that the Holy Master displayed today have truly broadened the old Taoist's horizons."

Taiqingzi sighed, "Peak Nascent Soul stage...this is already the limit that the world can currently accommodate."

Chen Xuan took a sip of tea and said calmly, "It's only temporary."

Everyone was taken aback.

Temporarily? Does that mean... the Holy Master's true cultivation level is more than just the peak of the Nascent Soul stage?

Wang Mingyuan asked cautiously, "Mr. Chen, the Demon Emperor said that the demon race can break through the limitations of heaven and earth, regarding this matter..."

"It's true."

Chen Xuan put down his teacup. "The demon race has a secret technique that allows them to use ancient demon arrays to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and forcibly break through bottlenecks. Zhu Yin was able to reach the mid-Nascent Soul stage by relying on this technique."

Wu Minghuang frowned: "What about the human race?"

"Humans also have laws."

Chen Xuan looked at Pei Hanchuan, "The 'Sword Tomb' of Yuqing Sword Ruins and the 'Three Pure Pools' of Taiqing Temple can both help people break through. However... there is a price to pay."

Pei Hanchuan remained silent for a moment before speaking, "The Sword Tomb can indeed help sword cultivators break through, but it requires the use of lifespan as a catalyst, and at most it can only help them reach the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm."

"Any further up... that's not possible."

Taiqingzi smiled wryly: "The Three Pure Pools are the same."

Chen Xuan didn't say anything more.

He looked out the window; the night in southern Xinjiang was deepening.

"The demon race will not let this go."

He said softly, "Although Zhuyin is dead, there are even more ancient beings among the demon race."

"The real chaos is yet to come."

Everyone fell silent.

Today's battle appears to have been a resounding victory for the human race.

But in reality... it only set the stage for an even more brutal war.

"gentlemen."

Wu Minghuang suddenly spoke, "Will you stay this time?"

Chen Xuan looked at her for a long time, then nodded:

"Um."

"There's no more realm to break through."
