Ch. 266 - Nine Slashes of The Demon Emperor

The big black dog, although usually quite unscrupulous, was working very hard at this critical moment, because this concerned not only its life and death, but also the ancient scripture of the Demon Emperor.

A vertical eye opened on its forehead, dark light flickering, shooting out like a black ribbon, making a clanging sound as it slashed through the air like a dark blade.

Clang!

Pang Bo, sitting cross-legged on the sacrificial altar without moving, had a flash of divine light between his brows. It swept out and struck the black light, the two colliding like sharp blades clashing together.

Although it was clearly a spiritual consciousness attack, it was as if divine weapons were striking treasured blades, dazzling light bursting forth, sparks flying, and metallic sounds ringing out.

"Didn't you say his lifespan was almost over? Why is he as vigorous as a true dragon?!" The big black dog was furious. In this clash, it had not gained the upper hand; in fact, it was slightly disadvantaged.

"He can't hold out much longer. If we unleash our strongest power, we can definitely take him down! Obviously, this is some old undying monster. It's not that we're not strong enough, it's that he's too strong!"

"Now’s not the time to talk about this, think of a way to kill him quickly!" Ye Fan sent a voice transmission.

"His consciousness is fully active and not showing any signs of exhaustion. He’s not a dying man. Even if the two of us risk our lives, I doubt we could kill him." The big black dog gritted its teeth.

Ye Fan suddenly had a thought. "He doesn’t seem to be able to move. He’s been sitting on the altar without shifting at all."

"Use your cauldron to smash him!" The big black dog had also noticed something unusual.

At this moment, they were inside the cauldron. Ye Fan didn’t plan to remove the protective barrier; instead, he directly summoned the Departing Fire God Furnace.

The fire furnace, crystal-clear like water, appeared in his palm and then turned into a brilliant streak of light that shot out.

It rapidly expanded, emitting five-colored divine light, and in the blink of an eye grew to ten zhang tall, like a small mountain pressing down toward the figure on the altar.

"Hmph."

Pang Bo let out a cold snort, still sitting unmoving, and reached out a large hand. With a loud bang, he slapped down on it.

No one knew how much force was behind that strike, but the Departing Fire God Furnace instantly caved in at one spot and was flung away.

"Such powerful strength!" Ye Fan’s heart trembled. He controlled the furnace, enlarging it to thirty meters high, pressing it down again with a rumbling sound.

Pang Bo remained unmoving, seated there, black hair lightly swaying, his bronze-colored body flowing with divine power, once again slapping out a large hand.

Dong!

This time the sound was deafening, making the space tremble. The Departing Fire God Furnace caved in even deeper, a clear palmprint branded into its surface.

It was as if it were not a treasured furnace, but a lump of clay, beaten into a depression.

"His physical body has reached the Four Pillars Realm!" Ye Fan’s heart sank. In just a few short years, Pang Bo’s body had been cultivated to such a level, it was truly shocking.

"I reckon he can compete with the Leviathan Monarch!" The big black dog looked grim.

"Now you believe me, right? He has the Demon Emperor’s ancient scripture. Otherwise, how could he be this terrifying!" Ye Fan goaded the dog.

"If he can’t move, then things will be much easier!" The big black dog bared its teeth.

But before it could finish speaking, Pang Bo shot up from his cross-legged position like lightning, charging toward the two of them, a large hand slamming down.

"Retreat!" the Black Emperor shouted.

Ye Fan drove the cauldron forward, darting into the flapping banners in an instant, avoiding the deadly strike.

Hundreds of massive banners blotted out the sky, not only meant to seal off this place but also to protect them. Each banner was inscribed with profound Dao runes, painstakingly prepared by the big black dog in case their opponent’s physical strength was overwhelming and he pursued them.

Sure enough, they were now proving useful. The hundreds of banners swayed, the world here changing entirely into a misty void, and Pang Bo did not dare to rush in.

"How strong are the Dao runes you carved?" Ye Fan asked.

"As long as it’s not a Supreme Giant, anyone entering will definitely be trapped!" the Black Emperor said with absolute confidence.

Pang Bo didn’t pursue them, but in a flash of light, returned to the altar and sat cross-legged once more.

"Didn’t expect that spiritual consciousness killing techniques are useless. Now we can only attack his body." The big black dog said.

Ye Fan urged the Departing Fire God Furnace, this time directly opening the furnace lid. Black flames surged out like a tide, flooding toward the altar like dark clouds pressing down from above.

Such scorching flames couldn’t be withstood even by someone in the Four Pillars Realm, if they touched him, he would surely be burned to ashes, body and spirit alike.

Ye Fan felt some hesitation as he released the flames, since this was Pang Bo’s body.

But the result shocked him. Pang Bo’s eyes shot out terrifying divine light, like two silver dragons soaring into the sky, and he roared: "Demon Emperor’s Nine Slashes. Destroy Form!"

Where the two silver beams passed, the void collapsed, and large swathes of black flame were forcibly annihilated!

"This is…" Ye Fan was shocked. This technique was terrifying!

To cut apart black flames with mere eye beams was astonishing, beyond belief.

"This is the supreme scripture derived by the demon race. I never thought someone actually created it." The big black dog shouted excitedly.

"I told you already, he has the Demon Emperor’s ancient scripture."

"Exactly! Only a Demon Emperor could create such a supreme holy method!" the big black dog cried. "I believe you now, he definitely has the Demon Emperor’s ancient scripture."

Ye Fan controlled the furnace, making it grow larger and tremble violently. Endless black flames surged down once again.

"Useless!" Pang Bo sat there unmoving, gazing at the sky. The silver light in his eyes rose like true dragons, dancing into the heavens.

Puff.

The void collapsed again, and the endless black flames were once more silently cut apart, vanishing into the air.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

At the same time, the silver light, like blades, struck the Departing Fire God Furnace, denting it terribly, full of pits and hollows, squashed like clay.

"The Demon Emperor’s divine art is too terrifying…" The big black dog muttered.

Ye Fan retrieved the furnace, and only then did the Black Emperor come back to his senses, as if remembering something, exclaiming: "What kind of furnace is this? It wasn’t pierced!"

"Is this the time to ask that? Think of a plan!" Ye Fan stowed the furnace away.

The big black dog gritted its teeth. "What other plan? Use your cauldron to smash him! This is a holy item forged from the Motherly Energy of All Things. Although it’s not a Paragon Artifact, in terms of toughness, there are few in the world that can match it. He won’t be able to break it!"

Ye Fan and the Black Emperor exited the cauldron, then hurled the ancient cauldron forged from the Motherly Energy of All Things. It transformed into a nine-meter-tall form, cascading with countless strands of profound golden energy, heavy as a mountain, pressing down.

"What, it’s that holy item!" Pang Bo was shocked, then burst into loud laughter. "This is truly a great gift. Even in a hundred thousand years, one might not see such a thing. I’ll take it!"

Like the Leviathan Monarch back then, he reached out a large hand, trying to seize the cauldron for himself.

"Quick, help me!" Ye Fan shouted.

Without needing to be told, the big black dog had already taken action, working with him to control the ancient cauldron, smashing it toward the altar.

Boom!

A violent collision erupted, and the altar beneath Pang Bo was reduced to dust in an instant, completely annihilated. He could only sit cross-legged in mid-air.

The ancient cauldron shook, striking his large hand and forcing him back several steps, though it didn’t injure him.

"He really can compete with that damn bird!" The big black dog cursed.

This ancient cauldron could be said to be indestructible. So far, only the Young Goldwing Leviathan Monarch and Pang Bo had dared to take it head-on without suffering damage.

"We’ll have to trap him with Dao runes!" the Black Emperor said fiercely.

Hundreds of massive banners rose from the ground, unfurling in the wind, planting themselves ahead and shrinking the space.

"Don’t give him room to move, I’ll seal him completely!"

As the banners spread, Pang Bo was sealed within. The surrounding trees vanished, no flowers or grass in sight, only a hazy mist.

"You can seal my body, but you can’t seal my spiritual consciousness. You’re forcing me to kill you!" Pang Bo shouted.

"Not good!" the Black Emperor cried.

At the same time, Ye Fan’s expression changed as his spiritual consciousness was pulled from his body, stripped away.

"Demon Emperor’s Nine Slashes. Deprivation!" Pang Bo roared.

It happened so fast that neither Ye Fan nor the Black Emperor could resist. Their souls were drawn out and pulled into a silver world.

"Soul Void!" Ye Fan exclaimed.

This was a silver world, only a hundred meter in diameter, a mindscape of divine thought.

"A supreme hidden art from the demon race’s ancient scripture…" the big black dog said in shock.

"Demon Emperor’s Nine Slashes!" Pang Bo replied coldly.
