Chapter 59

In the dazzling moment when the stars flickered, a dull "thud" echoed across the river. Evil King's palm struck solidly between the fifth and sixth vertebrae of Xiao Sheng's back.

At the same time, the Demon Marshal roared fiercely, his claws intertwining and unleashing the ultimate move of his eighteen Soul-Returning Claws: "Azure Dragon's Jealousy." He precisely seized the pectoral bones on both of Xiao Sheng's shoulders and tore with all his might!

The time difference between these attacks was no more than half a blink. The Empress of Yin shrieked, absorbing all the demonic energy of the Heavenly Demon Field. She delivered a simple yet powerful palm strike to Xiao Sheng's chest. The palm force contained a peculiar vibration that penetrated his skin, reaching his internal organs, aiming to shatter him from the inside out. "The Seventeenth Level of the Heavenly Demon Secret—Heavenly Demon Disintegration!"

The Indestructible Seal! The Soul-Returning Claw! The Heavenly Demon Disintegration! In the split second, these three lethal moves were simultaneously unleashed, all hitting Xiao Sheng.

On the distant water, Ning Daoqi, who was in a half-boat, witnessed this terrifying and shocking scene. His face turned pale, and he cried out, "Fellow Daoist Xiao!"

In his panic, Ning Daoqi instinctively tried to gather his energy and rush forward to help. However, after exchanging three palm strikes with Xiao Sheng, he suffered severe injuries and was in no condition to fight further.

Just a slight movement caused a thousand burning knives to stab inside his organs, making him see stars and unable to stand. He involuntarily spat out a large mouthful of blood, staining his clothes red.

"Finished, finished, alas—this is the calamity of the world." Ning Daoqi sighed helplessly, slowly sitting down and closing his eyes in sorrow.

One must understand, the combined power of the three supreme experts of the Demon Sect was astonishing. Even at his peak, Ning Daoqi would have found it difficult to handle them, and his only option would have been to retreat and plan for the future. Now, Xiao Sheng was hit by three lethal moves simultaneously.

Putting himself in Xiao Sheng's shoes, Ning Daoqi could not help but shudder and feel a chill run down his spine.

Although defeated by Xiao Sheng, Ning Daoqi was confident that he had gauged Xiao Sheng's true strength. In terms of realm, they were not far apart, basically on the same level. If he could not withstand the combined attack of the three supreme experts of the Demon Sect, how could Xiao Sheng?

Xiao Sheng was doomed! Even if the other two grandmasters of the world, the Turkic Wu Zun and the Goguryeo Yi Jian Master, were present, they could not save Xiao Sheng. Ning Daoqi was absolutely certain of this conclusion.

Thinking of his own severe injuries and the tragic outcome of the world falling into chaos and suffering, Ning Daoqi felt immense regret. He regretted rashly coming out of seclusion and getting involved in this mess. Originally, he wanted to bring peace to the world, but now he had only harmed others and himself.

With his back vertebrae cut, chest struck, and shoulder pectoral bones torn, Xiao Sheng did not show much pain. Instead, he smiled and said, "Ah, Mr. Evil King, Lady Empress of Yin, please put in more effort. Yes, harder, I can still take it."

"…Monster! Monster ah ah ah~"

The lethal moves, which were supposed to be certain to kill, had clearly hit their target, but the target remained unharmed and even talked and laughed naturally. This scene was a nightmare beyond the wildest imagination of the three Demon Sect experts.

In an instant, the Empress of Yin screamed and retreated. The Demon Marshal and Evil King also felt a chill and hastily withdrew their attacks. However, at this point, they could not afford to retreat.

Gritting her teeth, the Empress of Yin said fiercely, "Little thief, today I will fight you to the death! Heavenly Demon Disintegration, mutual destruction!"

Her black pupils suddenly emitted a fierce purple light, a unique phenomenon when she pushed her demonic power to its peak. Then, with disheveled hair, she looked like a fierce demon and let out a shrill scream, the Heavenly Demon Sound.

The deafening scream instantly filled the air, starting as a sharp, intense sound that stimulated the eardrums, then turning into a relentless, tangible force that attacked mercilessly. A massive Heavenly Demon Field unfolded, covering a ten-meter radius, enveloping the entire space.

It devoured, twisted, compressed, and shattered, creating a surreal and indistinguishable reality, like a nightmare that made one sink and unable to escape. Once the target was locked, it immediately contracted around Xiao Sheng.

Xiao Sheng could feel that when the field compressed to its limit, it would explode with a destructive force that could surpass the level of a Disordered Spirit Master and reach the level of a Grandmaster. It could even rival the power of the lethal move Xiao Sheng used to defeat the Northern Border General's clan, Jiang Weichen.

However, the Empress of Yin herself would not be able to withstand the force of the explosion, and she would die, regardless of whether she succeeded in killing the enemy.

The strongest lethal move of the Heavenly Demon Power: "Heavenly Demon Disintegration—Mutual Destruction!" The Empress of Yin was willing to sacrifice her life and convert her lifespan into Heavenly Demon Energy, increasing her power several times in an instant. Using this forbidden ultimate move, it was clear how deep and intense her hatred for Xiao Sheng was. In the Heavenly Demon Field, since the start of the battle, Xiao Sheng finally felt a hint of death threat.

If he used his full strength, Xiao Sheng could definitely break free from the Heavenly Demon Field. However, in that split second, he had a sudden idea and not only did not try to escape but also voluntarily removed the "steel" protection.

Instantly, Xiao Sheng felt a searing pain all over his body, as if he were being tortured by branding. His originally fair skin turned red, and he looked as if he were about to be roasted to a crisp, even turning to charcoal!

This is what he wanted! This is the feeling. Xiao Sheng realized that after entering this world and experiencing various events, he had accumulated enough potential to advance to the second level of the Grandmaster realm—Disordered Spirit. However, to truly unleash this potential, he still needed something, which was a calamity.

A calamity is the most mysterious thing. No one knows when or in what form it will appear. But it doesn't matter. If the calamity does not appear, Xiao Sheng can create it. Now, with the three supreme experts of the Demon Sect joining forces and the Empress of Yin using the ultimate move of mutual destruction, they had the qualifications to be Xiao Sheng's calamity, even a life-or-death calamity!

Stealing the heavens and borrowing the law, responding to the calamity and comprehending the Dao—this was Xiao Sheng's plan. Undoubtedly, this was playing with fire in a powder keg. But Xiao Sheng had full confidence that he could smoothly pass through this calamity and gain the enlightenment that only appears at the brink of life and death.

With this enlightenment, Xiao Sheng's advancement to the second level of the Grandmaster realm—Disordered Spirit—would be a natural and smooth process.

The three supreme experts of the Demon Sect did not know what Xiao Sheng was planning. Seeing the Empress of Yin fighting to the death, Evil King did not want to be left behind and said in a deep voice, "Demon Marshal, it's up to you."

The Demon Marshal let out a long howl, leaped forward, and said, "Evil King, rest assured, I'll support you." He placed both palms on Evil King's back, channeling his lifelong cultivation of profound and pure demonic power into Evil King's body.

With this powerful energy, Evil King's spirit was instantly invigorated, and his aura surged. The two techniques he created, the Illusory Demon Body and the Indestructible Seal, seamlessly combined, becoming flawless.

His realm, cultivation, and power all soared! At this moment, Evil King became incredibly powerful, even making Ning Daoqi stare in amazement and feel inferior.

A domineering and sinister laugh suddenly erupted. The Demon Marshal and Evil King had separated, and Evil King stepped into the air, as if supported by an invisible staircase, steadily ascending. His aura continued to build. When he reached the highest point, his life force would be at its peak. Once he unleashed his move, it would be a terrifying force that no one could resist.

Although Evil King himself said that the Indestructible Seal and the Illusory Demon Body were essentially illusions, at this point, the illusion had broken the boundary between reality and illusion, becoming real, which was incomprehensible.

The Empress of Yin's eyes glowed fiercely, and she shouted, "Good! Xiao Sheng, you have not disappointed me again." With no more concerns, she burned her life force to intensify the Heavenly Demon Field.

The Heavenly Demon Field, which originally covered a ten-meter radius, shrank to a five-step radius, and its ferocious power continued to increase.

On the other side, Evil King took seven steps in the air. The accumulated aura was like an arrow on the string, ready to be released. He let out a fierce howl, straightened his body, and stomped down on Xiao Sheng's head, like a meteor breaking through the sky. The interaction of life and death energy formed a massive, invisible energy cone, unstoppable and invincible, destroying everything in its path!

At this moment, Evil King completely broke through his limits, not only combining the Indestructible Seal and the Illusory Demon Body but also simplifying and innovating, merging the two techniques into—The Seven Illusions of the Indestructible: Hitting a Stone with an Egg!

At the same time, the Empress of Yin, whose skin was cracking and whose beautiful face had turned into a terrifying ghost, also unleashed the Heavenly Demon Disintegration. The violent force converted from her life force suddenly transformed into a blazing sun!
