Ch. 1692 - The Seductive Demoness’ Obstruction, The Thorn Domain

That figure suppressed everything.

A terrifying pressure blanketed the entire Human Sovereign Palace.

Xu Zimo knew that Bone Demon had arrived.

As the king of all these demons, only he could radiate such overwhelming power.

His gaze was calm.

When it fell upon Xu Zimo, it seemed capable of freezing all blood.

The power within Xu Zimo’s body stalled.

“Strong, and not just ordinarily strong,” Xu Zimo could clearly feel it.

This Bone Demon was likely only one step away from opening the Three Blossoms.

Or perhaps he had already done so.

Otherwise, an ordinary Infinite Dao cultivator would never give Xu Zimo such immense pressure.

“Interesting. A mere Saint Sovereign dares to offend my authority,” Bone Demon said.

His gaze swept past Xu Zimo.

He then looked toward the Discipline Hall.

“King Sky-Sage, I know you’re in there. Why don’t you come out today and settle everything?”

“That’s exactly what I intend. Today, I will fulfill my master’s will and eradicate you all,” King Sky-Sage snorted coldly.

“The era of the Human Sovereign has already passed. You’re still living in that ridiculous past,” Bone Demon sneered.

“This new era will sail forward on great ships, and I will be the helmsman of that era.”

He struck down with a palm.

Behind Xu Zimo, the stone stele shattered instantly.

However, although the stele broke apart, the imprinted wills within it grew even more intense.

One figure after another emerged from it.

These were all disciples once taught by the Human Sovereign.

In just a few breaths, a hundred figures gathered.

“What’s going on? How can there be such powerful demonic energy in the Sage Palace?”

As soon as these figures appeared, they sensed the abnormality.

“What time period is this now?”

“Junior brothers,” King Sky-Sage stepped out of the Discipline Hall.

A tremendous aura surged skyward from him.

He faced Bone Demon from afar.

“It’s Senior Brother Sky-Sage,” the imprints recognized him instantly.

“The demons have emerged, and I have failed in my duty. I must rely on all of you, my brothers, to help me slay the demons,” King Sky-Sage shouted.

“Slaying demons is our duty,” the imprints replied one after another.

“It’s just a pity that we are only imprints here and cannot exert our full strength.”

High in the sky, Bone Demon burst into laughter.

“Perfect. I’ll wipe you all out at once and settle the grudge of being suppressed in the Human Sovereign Palace all these years.”

“Kill!” King Sky-Sage roared.

The entire Discipline Hall began to shake.

He stepped into the air and charged toward Bone Demon.

The surrounding demons also surged forward, clashing with the countless stele imprints.

Xu Zimo did not join their battle.

He knew King Sky-Sage was no match for Bone Demon and could at best stall him.

King Sky-Sage was already dead.

When his power was exhausted, it would be the end for everyone.

So Xu Zimo prepared to sneak into the Human Sovereign Academy.

He intended to take control of the entire Human Sovereign Palace.

……

“Where do you think you’re going, little brother?”

A soft laugh suddenly sounded by his ear.

Xu Zimo stopped.

He slowly turned his gaze.

The seductive demon was standing beside him, watching him closely.

“Sister’s earlier offer still stands. Why not join us Otherworldly Demons?” she said.

“If you don’t stop me now, once I control the Human Sovereign Palace, I can spare your life,” Xu Zimo replied.

“Looks like we can’t reach an agreement,” the seductive demon smiled coldly. “Then you’ll have to die.”

Her palms transformed into sharp claws, gleaming with cold light, dozens of centimeters long.

These claws could easily tear through space itself.

Xu Zimo drew his blade.

Her cultivation seemed to have just reached the Infinite Dao realm, so he did not fear her.

Claws and curved blade collided.

Xu Zimo’s body was sent flying backward.

Roughly observing, one would notice that the direction he was flung happened to be toward the Human Sovereign Academy.

“You really are a cunning man,” the seductive demon said, her smile fading.

Her eyes turned icy.

“Thorn Domain!”

In an instant, centered on the seductive demon, a unique domain formed.

Xu Zimo was enveloped within it.

Countless thorns sprouted and coiled throughout the domain.

She laughed softly. “Little brother, sister’s rules are poisonous. If you’re pierced by my thorns, even a Saint Sovereign will die.”

“Talk after you manage to pierce me,” Xu Zimo snorted.

These thorns were indeed troublesome.

They carried potent poison and were countless in number, making them hard to evade.

However, they had a fatal weakness.

All plants fear fire.

Flame laws began to coil around Xu Zimo’s body.

He waved his hand.

Towering flames surged forth, turning everything into nothingness.

Crackling sounds filled the air.

In the blink of an eye, a sea of fire had formed.

“You’re quite troublesome, little brother,” the seductive demon sneered.

She sliced open her own wrist.

Countless drops of blood fell.

The previously fragile thorns became eerie after absorbing the blood.

Their speed increased drastically, and even their defensive power multiplied.

“Damn it,” Xu Zimo frowned.

He could cut down these thorns.

But their numbers kept multiplying. The more he cut, the more appeared.

It was pointless to continue.

Suddenly, his gaze locked onto the seductive demon.

Though the Thorn Domain was powerful, its core was still her.

As long as he disrupted her, he could escape.

He had no intention of entangling himself with her. Time was limited.

He snorted and charged straight at her.

“You’re still far too weak, little brother,” the seductive demon laughed.

“Is that so?”

Shadow Tyrant flashed in Xu Zimo’s hand.

First Strike: Nine Hells Desolation.

When infinite hells manifested and all things fell into the Nine Hells, the seductive demon finally grew serious.

“This move is strong, but you haven’t truly reached Infinite Dao. You can’t hurt me,” she said.

Her hands formed seals rapidly.

All the thorns responded, gathering into a shield before her.

When Xu Zimo’s blade descended, cracks spread across the shield.

Finally, it could no longer withstand the force and shattered.

However, with the shield’s obstruction, the blade energy weakened significantly and failed to injure the seductive demon.

“Where did he go?” Her vision returned to normal as she looked up.

Xu Zimo had already vanished.

“Behind you,” Xu Zimo’s voice sounded as his Second Strike, Slay Myriad Immortals, descended.

Rumble, rumble!

At that moment, countless immortals descended.

The Heavenly Court shattered, immortals fell, and the Celestial Gate collapsed.

The seductive demon’s face changed drastically.

She could not avoid this strike.

And after unleashing it, Xu Zimo did not linger.

He headed straight for the Human Sovereign Academy.
