Chapter 862 - 861: 5 Seconds! 100,000 Sea Demons! Instant Kill!
Chapter 862: Chapter 861: 5 Seconds! 100,000 Sea Demons! Instant Kill!
Chu Sheng froze for a moment, nodding subconsciously.
"Of course.
"What do you want to do?"
Gu Yuexi held out her right hand. "Give me the sword.
"Spread out all your Outer Body Avatars and expand the Thunder Domain at the same time.
"Cover as many of the Sea Demons as possible. There can’t be any gaps between the Powers; they must connect into a single expanse."
Looking into Gu Yuexi’s eyes, Chu Sheng vaguely guessed her intention. Without asking further questions, it handed back the Godslaying Ruins Sword.
Then, like a general deploying troops, its Divine Thought operated at lightning speed, dispersing fifty Outer Body Avatars evenly across the front lines of the Sea Demon Army. The distance between every two avatars was calculated perfectly. This ensured that when they released the Thunder Emperor Domain, they would seamlessly connect to form a massive, complete space of Power.
Once all the avatars were in position, Chu Sheng gave the command. "All avatars, expand the Thunder Emperor Domain and release the Nine Tribulations Thunder Prison!"
In an instant, fifty flashes of lightning lit up simultaneously, with Chu Sheng and Gu Yuexi at the center.
The entire front line of the Sea Demon Army was enveloped in a dense web of lightning. Purple thunder rolled through the clouds. Bolts struck down one after another, their deafening CRACKLE echoing through the air.
At a rough estimate, there were at least a hundred thousand Sea Demons covered by the Thunder Emperor Domain!
The lightning spread across the seawater on the Sea Demons’ bodies and the surrounding Water Curtains. Almost simultaneously, the hundred thousand Sea Demons stiffened, all of them completely paralyzed.
Although the power of the lightning was not enough to kill the Sea Demons outright, and although this paralysis would only last for a maximum of ten seconds...
For Gu Yuexi, it was enough!
Golden light flowed across the Empress Battle Armor on Gu Yuexi’s body, and the Godslaying Ruins Sword in her hand let out a clear, ringing hum. She activated the Law of Thunder and the Space Law simultaneously. Lightning flickered around her as the space itself slightly distorted.
In the next second, Gu Yuexi transformed into a bolt of lightning, charging directly into the Thunder Emperor Domain that Chu Sheng had laid out.
Because she and Chu Sheng had signed an equal Beast Taming Contract, their Divine Souls were connected. Not only would Chu Sheng’s Thunder Emperor Domain not reject her, but it would also provide her with a Thunder Attribute enhancement, making her Speed even faster and her Sword Momentum even fiercer.
Floating at the edge of the Thunder Domain, Chu Sheng watched Gu Yuexi inside. "Although using the Law of Thunder and the Space Law to transform into lightning makes her Speed ridiculously fast," it thought to itself, "it’s absolutely impossible to kill a hundred thousand Sea Demons in ten seconds at this Speed."
It silently made an estimation. Let alone a hundred thousand, even ten thousand would be impossible to hack down in ten seconds.
But Chu Sheng trusted Gu Yuexi. She never made empty claims. Since she had spoken, she definitely had a plan.
Sure enough, Gu Yuexi’s next move made even the experienced and knowledgeable Chu Sheng gasp in amazement.
After charging into the Thunder Emperor Domain, Gu Yuexi didn’t immediately start swinging her sword to slaughter the Sea Demons. Instead, she hovered in midair, gripping the hilt with both hands and holding the blade vertically in front of her.
She took a deep breath, and the Power of Law around her surged wildly.
[Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root!]
Gu Yuexi had inherited the complete legacy of Immortal Venerable Shi Xi. Her Comprehension of various Laws was definitely higher than that of any Celestial God Realm expert. The Law of the Sword was, of course, no exception.
This time, she didn’t use the Law of the Sword alone. Instead, she simultaneously released the Law of Thunder, the Space Law, and the Law of the Sword, blending the three together.
HUM...
After a slight tremor, thousands upon thousands of "Gu Yuexis"—each wielding an identical Godslaying Ruins Sword—appeared simultaneously within Chu Sheng’s Thunder Emperor Domain.
Every single figure possessed a lifelike aura and sharp Sword Qi; there was not a trace of illusion about them.
"Holy badassery!" Chu Sheng couldn’t help but give Gu Yuexi a thumbs-up with its front leg, clicking its tongue in wonder.
It recalled when Gu Yuexi’s Realm was still very low. Back then, relying on the Law of the Sword, she had defeated powerful enemies several Grand Realms above her, scaring the school leaders senseless on the spot.
"It seems the Little Empress still loves practicing the sword; she hasn’t changed all these years," Chu Sheng muttered. "Practicing the bottom sword instead of the top sword, the silver sword instead of the iron sword...
"She has finally reached the Sword and Man Unity—
"Ugh.
"Wait, crossed wires."
Chu Sheng blinked its compound eyes, shaking off its messy thoughts.
"Still, the Little Empress’s current state can indeed be considered Sword and Man Unity," it mused. "Only by using Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root in the state of Sword and Man Unity could she forcibly train a Skill meant to merely manifest myriad streams of Sword Qi into one that manifests myriad physical swords.
"Every single avatar has the exact same Attack Power as her main body."
It waved its front leg, staring eagerly ahead. "Now... the real fun begins!"
Just as Chu Sheng finished speaking, Gu Yuexi made her move.
Thousands upon thousands of figures aimed their Godslaying Ruins Swords forward in perfect unison.
SWISH!
The sound of air being torn apart merged into a single deafening roar, indistinguishable from one another. In less than a second, over ten thousand paralyzed Sea Demons were instantly slaughtered by the Sword Qi!
There was no pause whatsoever.
After Gu Yuexi annihilated the tens of thousands of Sea Demons in the first area, her myriad avatars didn’t stop for a moment. With a flash, they pounced on the next area.
The sword light flashed again, and another ten thousand Sea Demons fell simultaneously.
This was repeated nine times.
The hundred thousand Sea Demons at the front of the Sea Demon Army were entirely wiped out—not a single one was left alive. Their corpses piled up like small mountains, and their dark green blood formed streams that flowed toward the Southern Sea.
And the duration of the paralysis caused by Chu Sheng’s Thunder Emperor Domain and Nine Tribulations Thunder Prison...
Had only just reached the halfway mark!
Five seconds!
A hundred thousand Sea Demons!
Completely annihilated!
After slaying the very last Sea Demon, the myriad figures instantly retracted, coalescing back into Gu Yuexi’s single silhouette.
Her face was pale, and her footsteps were unsteady. She nearly plummeted from the sky.
Chu Sheng had anticipated this. With a flash, it appeared by Gu Yuexi’s side. It stretched out its two-meter-long body and used its two thick front legs to firmly support her arms.
"You’ve overdrawn your Divine Power, haven’t you?" it asked. "Go rest in my Ziwei Palace for a bit and recover your Divine Power."
Gu Yuexi didn’t try to act tough; she simply gave a gentle nod.
Her previous Law Fusion combined with Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root had maxed out the visual effects and delivered an incredibly satisfying slaughter. But the consumption of her Divine Power had been equally astounding, directly draining every last drop of what she had left.
Right now, they were in the midst of the Sea Demon Army, surrounded by danger. She genuinely needed a safe place to meditate and recover.
With a stir of Chu Sheng’s Divine Thought, the entrance to the Ziwei Palace opened in front of it, and it gently sent Gu Yuexi inside.
Having settled Gu Yuexi, Chu Sheng turned its head to look at the mountain of Sea Demon corpses, its compound eyes lighting up instantly.
"I’m rich!!!" it thought.
Without a moment’s delay, it immediately began reclaiming the Sea Demon corpses littering the ground.
[DING! Successfully reclaimed one Sea Demon Race (Divinity Transformation Realm) corpse. Essence of Origin +10 points.]
[DING! Successfully reclaimed one Sea Demon Race (Void Refinement Realm) corpse. Essence of Origin +50 points.]
[DING! Successfully reclaimed one Sea Demon Race (Integration Realm) corpse. Essence of Origin +100 points.]
[...]
The system prompts surged like a tide, wave after wave, ringing incessantly in Chu Sheng’s mind. The value of its Essence of Origin skyrocketed, shooting up like a rocket.
Not far away.
Watching Chu Sheng swagger around reclaiming the corpses of his kin, the Sea Demon Commander’s heart also surged like a tide. Except his heart was completely ice-cold, plummeting all the way to the bottom of the ocean!
