Chapter 516: Chapter 289: The Might of Taiyi Demon-Vanquishing Divine Thunder, Annihilation of the Demon Corpse!

The aura looked very weak.

Such a battle outcome was evidently immensely gratifying.

However, upon witnessing this scene, Qi Chuan’s expression showed no sign of joy, instead his brow furrowed.

"Taiyi Demon-Vanquishing Divine Thunder, specifically counters such entities, how come it dealt such slight damage?"

Qi Chuan wondered to himself quietly.

It was known that, during the demon insect tide, as long as his Taiyi Demon-Vanquishing Divine Thunder appeared, it was invincible. No demon insect could withstand it for long, and they would explode and perish almost instantly.

Yet now, despite exerting the Taiyi Demon-Vanquishing Divine Thunder with full force for so long, the opponent was merely injured.

"However, back during the demon insect tide, I was at the Core Formation Late Stage, facing Tier Three demon insects without encountering Tier Four demon insects, and I don’t know what level this demon corpse’s power is, though it is a kind of High Tier Demon, perhaps this is why it’s more challenging."

"No worry, continue incinerating with divine thunder for a while longer, that’s all."

Qi Chuan mused to himself.

However, just now he had exercised the divine thunder for quite some time, and the Taiyi Demon-Vanquishing True Formula Spirit Seed in his Dantian needed to be nurtured with his Nascent Soul for a period, to restore it.

Therefore, Qi Chuan sat crossed-legged on the spot, took an elixir, and began meditating.

On the one hand, to restore mana.

On the other hand, to nurture the Taiyi Demon-Vanquishing True Formula Spirit Seed.

Meanwhile, as Qi Chuan sat meditating to recover, within the ancient array, the demon corpse gradually awakened, enduring the intense pain spreading throughout its body, it couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.

Originally, it thought the visitor from outside was just a fledgling kid.

Yet, unexpectedly, the other party unleashed such divine thunder, putting it in this state.

"Damn it, if not for the sword in my chest, there’s no way the opponent’s meager cultivation could have harmed me relying solely on divine thunder."

The demon corpse resented, yet felt helpless.

It couldn’t help but lift its eyelids and glance outside the ancient array at the youth sitting in meditation.

After observing for a moment, it suddenly spoke: "Boy, what is your name?"

Qi Chuan did not respond, continuing to focus on his meditation.

"Boy, let me tell you frankly, I am indeed from the Demon Race. However, demons like myself, belong to the upper tier demon race, possessing extraordinary status. To give an analogy, if your Cultivation Realm were a mortal human dynasty, we upper tier demons would be akin to noble lords, holding incredibly esteemed identities, and the utmost loyalty to our promises, treating our word as more important than our life, achieving whatever we commit to."

"I can promise you, as long as you cease using divine thunder to burn me and release this array, removing the sword in my chest, I would not seek revenge on you nor bring harm to your Cultivation Realm once out, I would simply find a passage back to the Demon Realm and return there."

"Furthermore, I can impart to you an advanced cultivation technique from the Demon Realm, a core family technique unique to us, unparalleled by your Cultivation Realm’s methods. Given you are only at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, cultivating it will bring rapid progress, soon allowing you to advance to Divinity Transformation, how about that? This is indeed immense fortune..."

Seeing Qi Chuan still uninterested, the demon corpse’s tone grew more gentle, filled with temptation in its words.

Yet Qi Chuan still gave no reply.

"Divine techniques, I have several mighty and powerful demon realm divine techniques, which you will certainly master upon cultivation, killing enemies in adversity effortlessly. Just let me out and I’ll recite all these divine arts to you, how about it?"

Qi Chuan continued his cultivation.

"Elixirs, I recall several pill formulas spectacularly effective for auxiliary cultivation of Nascent Soul cultivators... I even have a bottle on me, except the sword pins me, and there’s an array outside, I can’t reach them..."

Qi Chuan remained in meditation.

"You are after this sword on me right? Don’t be misled by its worn state, it’s actually an extraordinary sword of remarkable composition, yet over the years it has merged with me, if I die, its mission ends, and it will naturally destroy itself, you won’t get anything... but I have a way to preserve it..."

Qi Chuan stood firm like a rock, unmoved.

"Your Cultivation Realm is doomed, I know a big secret that concerns your entire Cultivation Realm’s safety, release me and I’ll tell you, otherwise in two hundred years, your entire Cultivation Realm will be finished!"

...

The demon corpse kept babbling incessantly, as if an invisible fly was constantly buzzing around Qi Chuan’s ears, exerting utmost inducement and threat with its cajoling language.

Listening to it was exceedingly vexing for Qi Chuan.

Thus, once Qi Chuan’s mana and Taiyi Demon-Vanquishing True Formula Spirit Seed recovered, he immediately opened his eyes, casting a hostile gaze toward the demon corpse within the ancient array.

"I’ll let you yell!!"

Zizi!

Executing the Taiyi Demon-Vanquishing True Technique.

In his palm, a brilliantly shining Taiyi Demon-Vanquishing Divine Thunder manifested, with a light toss, it shot toward the ancient array.

Boom!

The divine thunder entered the ancient array through a breach, landing on the demon corpse, instantly erupting and converting into a burst of lightning.

"Ah!!!"

The demon corpse immediately wailed piteously, ceasing its nonsensical chatter.

"That feels good!"

Seeing this scene, Qi Chuan felt a burst of inner satisfaction, as if he had swatted an immensely annoying fly.

Within the ancient array, the divine thunder crackled noisily.

The entire stone cave seemed to be permeated with an aroma of roasted meat.

Yet, as time elapsed, the divine thunder gradually receded.

In Qi Chuan’s Dantian, the Taiyi Demon-Vanquishing True Formula Spirit Seed also appeared somewhat dim.

"...Ugh... boy... I tell you, killing me brings you no benefit, only collaborating with me can earn you immense profit, additionally you won’t be able to kill me..."

Within the ancient array, the demon corpse’s weak and painful voice resonated again.

"Still not dead?!"

Qi Chuan couldn’t help but slightly widen his eyes.

Just within the ancient array, the demon corpse looked even worse, with many severely mangled areas, eliciting a somewhat ghastly sight.

Yet, indeed it wasn’t dead.

Even far from it.

"Truly an upper tier demon!"

"Moreover, this demon’s cultivation, is at least at the Great True Monarch level!"

Qi Chuan thought inwardly.

"However, I can recover ceaselessly, I refuse to believe that using Taiyi Demon-Vanquishing Divine Thunder cannot kill you!"

Qi Chuan thought determinedly.

He resolved to vehemently contend with this upper tier demon.

Refusing to cease until he killed it and seized that silver broken sword.

Hence, Qi Chuan once again sat down on the spot, beginning his meditation for recovery.

"...Say the word, I’m truly yielding, whatever you desire, I can agree to anything, give or take..."

Within the ancient array, the demon corpse’s unceasing babbling echoed again.

...

Time flowed continuously.

In a flash, half a year had passed.

During this half year, Qi Chuan almost did nothing else.

Each day was spent meditating and restoring, using divine thunder to blast the demon corpse.

As a result, the power of Taiyi Demon-Vanquishing Divine Thunder grew stronger.

At last, on this day, once Qi Chuan recovered again, he prompted the Taiyi Demon-Vanquishing Divine Thunder back into the ancient array.

"Spare me!!!"

"Ah!!!"

Within the ancient array’s clearing, divine thunder raged, all that met the eye was lightning.

The broken sword now shone even more dazzling with silvery brilliance, exuding a layer of silver thunder silk net covering the whole demon corpse.

Finally, the demon corpse, gruesome and intolerable to behold, managed only a last terrible scream.

Then, the body was obliterated into nothingness amidst the divine thunder and thunder silk net.

Zizi.

The clearing endured ravaging divine thunder for a while longer.

After quite some time, it gradually extinguished.

On the now revealed clearing, apart from the remnants of the divine thunder, the demon corpse had disappeared entirely.

Only a silver glistening broken sword stood quietly lodged in the ground.
