Chapter 258: Chapter 226: Fierce Battle!
Python Demon Tower\'s strength was not at all inferior to that of Tiger Demon Teng, and with the Heavenly Saint Attack Law Bead in its possession, it was even more formidable than Tiger Demon Teng.
In the battle against Ye Chen, it naturally had immense confidence.
Boom!
Amid its sneering, Python Demon Tower\'s massive body, spanning over three hundred meters, suddenly coiled towards the sky; its gigantic head let out a hissing roar as it fanned the Heavenly Saint Attack Law Bead directly towards Ye Chen.
It could be seen that the force fanned out by the bead was no longer the rolling dark winds from before, but had turned into roaring flames, all directed at Ye Chen!
The power of each strand of these flames reached the level equivalent to True Fire, and the fierce blaze ignited into a vast inferno, spreading across hundreds of meters in the radius, all burning towards Ye Chen!
Sacred Artifact.
This was the power of an attack Sacred Artifact!
Speaking of the flames, not to mention hundreds of meters in radius, even a single strand could easily penetrate a Half-Step Rotating Pill.
And now, these skies full of flames were all burning towards Ye Chen.
Ye Chen, who wielded the Black Fire Sword and was charging towards Python Demon Tower, narrowed his eyes upon seeing the terrifying blaze fanned out by the Heavenly Saint Attack Law Bead. Then the Black Fire Sword in his hand buzzed several times as all eighty-one layers of the sword\'s prohibitions were unleashed!
Previously, after acquiring the Black Fire Sword, Ye Chen could only activate thirteen layers of the sword\'s prohibitions. But now, with the boost from Heavenly Saint power, he could release all the restrictions of the Black Fire Sword!
After all eighty-one prohibitions were released, the outstanding treasure, the Black Fire Sword, radiated brightly as it swung a strike, sending a heaven-filling black rainstorm across the sky.
This black rainstorm, with each drop flickering with the Black Fire Sword\'s own eighty-one layers of prohibition power, was further wrapped in a faint golden glow—a clear sign of Ye Chen\'s Heavenly Saint power fortifying it.
Subsequently, this black rainstorm ruthlessly collided with the vast flames fanned by the Heavenly Saint Attack Law Bead!
Like meteor showers colliding in the sky, the black rainstorm and the huge fireball, spanning hundreds of meters, slammed into each other in an instant.
Both forces contained hidden Heavenly Saint power.
The collision was like the destruction of heaven and earth, with thunderous explosions echoing across the dark swamp in the deepest part of the ancient tomb, and the massive shockwaves from the blasts flipped up huge pits in the underground swamp!
"You think you can withstand the might of the \'Eight Flames Fan\' bestowed upon me by my master? I want to see how long you can hold up with this borrowed power."
Python Demon Tower, upon witnessing the tremendous power of Ye Chen\'s strike, didn\'t show the slightest ripple of emotion in its demonic eyes. Instead, it opened its massive mouth and sprayed towards the Heavenly Saint Attack Law Bead once again.
This time, the bead whirled around, and a new type of power emanated from it.
After the dark winds, the fiery inferno, the "Eight Flames Fan" now fanned out a sky filled with raging thunder and lightning!
"Eight Flames Fan?"
"Could it be that this attack Sacred Artifact is concealing eight peculiar kinds of power inside?"
Ye Chen, seeing the transformation of the giant treasure fan and yet another new killing move coming his way, had a flash in his eyes.
This was his first time confronting an attack Sacred Artifact, and the peculiar attacking power of the "Eight Flames Fan" caught Ye Chen\'s attention, making him unable to resist the desire to seize the fan for himself!
"My Heavenly Saint power was bestowed by the thirteen Heavenly Saint Law Beads left to me by Heavenly Saint Di Kong."
"Once the Law Beads are depleted, they\'re gone."
"In this battle, I have already exhausted three Heavenly Saint Law Beads. These three Heavenly Saint Law Beads cannot be wasted in vain; I must seize this \'Eight Flames Fan\' to compensate for the loss of my Law Beads!"
In a flurry of thoughts, Ye Chen, who was wielding the Black Fire Sword, had his body\'s Heavenly Saint power flare up wildly again. This was him igniting the fourth Heavenly Saint Attack Law Bead, and he was also igniting the first Heavenly Saint Defense Law Bead!
Ye Chen, who was resolved to burn two types of Law Beads at once, was now determined to completely suppress Python Demon Tower and snatch the magical treasure fan from its hands.
With Heavenly Saint power surging, the Black Fire Sword raged wildly. Ye Chen paid no heed to the slashing black lightning filling the sky, bolstered by the power of the Heavenly Saint Defense Law Bead, which left him utterly fearless of the black lightning.
Ye Chen had gathered all his strength, and was relentlessly charging towards Python Demon Tower!
Seeing Ye Chen\'s power surge suddenly and his disregard for the "Eight Flames Fan\'s" lightning while charging straight at it, Python Demon Tower, which had been quite confident, suddenly changed in complexion.
As a late-stage Rotating Pill Demon Creature, its intelligence was exceedingly high, and it obviously realized that Ye Chen aimed to unleash all his power all at once to slay it. And from Ye Chen\'s eyes, Python Demon Tower could see his ambition to take its Sacred Artifact treasure fan.
"Dream on if you think you can snatch the \'Eight Flames Fan\' bestowed upon me by the master!"
The Python Demon Tower\'s massive head lunged toward the fan in the void, swallowing the treasured fan directly into its belly. Following that, the Python Demon Tower\'s huge body swayed and, surprisingly, turned to flee from the other battle scenes.
Feeling the rapid increase of Heavenly Saint power in Ye Chen\'s body, the Python Demon Tower also had the thought to avoid Ye Chen\'s edge first and deplete the Heavenly Saint power Ye Chen had absorbed!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The direction in which the Python Demon Tower fled was precisely where the Eagle Demon Tower and the other Tomb Explorers were fighting.
"Trying to flee?"
Ye Chen moved through the air and pursued the Python Demon Tower.
At this moment, Fairy Nishang, Liu Yan, and others were being relentlessly driven back by the Eagle Demon Tower. Though their strengths were each extraordinary, equivalent to the impressive Half-Step Rotating Pill, the Eagle Demon Tower was a Rotating Pill-stage Demon Creature!
The disparity between their powers was like a vast chasm, and if not for the fact that the Eagle Demon Tower was mainly observing the battles elsewhere and had not unleashed its full killing power on them, many of them would likely have already died in the conflict!
Seeing that the huge Python Demon Tower, an immense creature, had fled to their battlefront and was pursued by Ye Chen, everyone was simultaneously panicked and overjoyed.
They were panicked because another Demon Creature had come to slay them.
However, they were overjoyed because, in another battle, Ye Chen seemed to have forced the Python Demon Tower into a hasty retreat. Ye Chen\'s arrival could possibly resolve their dangerous situation!
"Eagle Demon, quickly dispose of these brats and join me in dealing with this youth!"
The Python Demon Tower that had fled in panic saw that the Eagle Demon Tower had yet to slay the others, appearing to merely toy with the juniors. It roared at the Eagle Demon Tower.
"Python Demon, you wield the master\'s attack Sacred Artifact yet you\'re unable to defeat a mere human child?" The Eagle Demon Tower\'s pair of demonic eyes glanced at the Python Demon Tower, bellowing at it, then shifted to Ye Chen who was in hot pursuit. A flicker of demonic light flashed in its eyes.
"I was curious to see what kind of trump cards the Spirit Seas of the thirteen countries of the Heavenly South possess. Since that\'s the case, let\'s end this!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As it spoke, the Eagle Demon Tower\'s massive wings emitted bursts of earth-shattering light. Its aura surged uncontrollably, and in an instant, it ascended from the latter stage of the Rotating Pill to the combat level of a Heavenly Saint!
The third Demon Creature with Heavenly Saint-level power!
Ye Chen realized that each of the three formidable Demon Creatures they were facing had Heavenly Saint-level means at their disposal.
Tiger Demon Teng was bestowed with the defense Sacred Artifact "Void Great Treasure Cover" by Heavenly Saint Moya, while Python Demon Tower was given the attack Sacred Artifact "Eight Flames Fan." It seemed that this Eagle Demon Tower too had been granted an enigmatic object capable of suddenly enhancing its combat power.
Now, as the Eagle Demon Tower\'s aura raged unchecked, its wings doubled in size. Every feather on its wings shimmered with a deadly light.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Almost instantly, countless silver, gleaming Killing Blades flew from the Eagle Demon Tower\'s wings, tunneling towards Fairy Nishang, Liu Yan, and the others.
Simultaneously, the Eagle Demon Tower spread its wings to fly, converging with the fleeing Python Demon Tower, together facing Ye Chen.
This Eagle Demon Tower, whose strength had surged suddenly, was attempting to block Ye Chen and, in one fell swoop, eliminate the others!
Witnessing the flurry of silver, gleaming Killing Blades flying towards them, Fairy Nishang, Liu Yan, and the others turned pale with terror. The rest could not help but cry out in shock. They felt there was no way to dodge these blades, which, as they flew, were not just slicing through their flesh, but were aimed at cutting their very souls.
As these Killing Blades whizzed through the air, a piercingly sharp noise directly penetrated their minds, causing many to bleed from their seven orifices in an instant. They all felt that if they could not withstand it any longer, they would die right there and then!
Just as many had closed their eyes, awaiting death\'s embrace, a crisp, clear sword cry suddenly pierced the sky. Then, an extraordinarily fiery red flying sword appeared out of nowhere, cleaving through the void and slashing all the silver, gleaming blades to the ground.
Crimson Fire Flying Sword!
This fiery red flying sword, which was stunning in its divinity, turned out to be Ye Chen\'s lifebound flying sword "Crimson Fire." Seeing that Fairy Nishang and the others were about to perish at the hands of the Eagle Demon Tower, Ye Chen finally wielded the maneuver of his lifebound flying sword!
The Crimson Fire Flying Sword was of Sacred Artifact grade!
Ye Chen had been nurturing the sword, and although the flying sword still far from reached its strongest killing potential, with the boost of Heavenly Saint power, a Sacred Artifact quality flying sword could certainly unleash Heavenly Saint-level combat force!
The caliber of a Sacred Artifact flying sword was immensely powerful. Even among Sacred Artifacts from the Chaotic Sea\'s "Sea God Palace," the "Crimson Fire" Flying Sword stood out as absolutely outstanding. That slash was powerful enough that it would not cower even before a true Sacred Artifact, let alone the Killing Blades of the Eagle Demon Tower!
Hum!
With one stroke, the Crimson Fire Flying Sword slashed all the silver, gleaming Killing Blades from the sky!
Then, under Ye Chen\'s commanding grab, the Crimson Fire Flying Sword flew back to hover before him in the void, vibrating with life of its own.
