Chapter 404: The True Face of the World (Part 1)
An indescribable fear surged within Lu Heng's heart.
Standing at the edge of the enormous spatial rift in the extradimensional space, Lu Heng's mind nearly froze, rendering him incapable of coherent thought.
An incomparable threat of death engulfed him in that very moment.
The colossal ferocious beast that approached this place surpassed every existence Lu Heng had ever seen, being a terrifying creature impossible to exist in the mortal realm!
The sense of impending death felt in the presence of Nine Phoenix back then, compared to now, seemed insignificant and hardly worth mentioning!
Even the infamous World-destroying Nine Cauldrons, which harvested the essence of countless living beings, fled instantly upon the appearance of the colossal ferocious beast.
The two Nine Cauldrons, which were originally fiercely contending for the dissipating aura of Nine Phoenix, instantly transformed into two beams of light, flying into the sleeves of Lu Heng, abandoning the enormous residual aura lingering in the void.
There was not even a trace of intention to protect the master.
It seems that the ones fighting to protect Lu Heng in front of Nine Phoenix were not these two cauldrons after all.
Within the Sword Formation of Heaven's Divination Nine Swords, even the five evil demons had blank expressions and frozen gazes. Lu Heng himself was stunned by the terror of this Earthly Behemoth, let alone these five evil demons.
They were almost frozen in fear, to the point that even their souls seemed immobilized. Staring dumbly at the colossal spatial rift from which the behemoth emerged, their bodies remained rigid and trembling.
The dignity, aura, and arrogance of innate demon cultivators crumbled and collapsed in the face of it all.
No living creature can maintain composure in the presence of such a terrifying savage beast!
In the midst of the sprawling starry expanse, this horrifying behemoth truly achieved the feat of overshadowing the heavens!
Within that enormous terrifying maw, fangs were densely packed. Each sharp fang stretched for tens of thousands of feet! The myriad of teeth stood in dense formation, resembling an ancient mountain range from mythical legends, extending endlessly.
In the ancient Sword Formation, the five demonic beasts let out frantic screams of utter despair.
The desperate struggle of the dying innate demonic creatures was terrifying and harrowing. They went into a frenzy, almost as if they were burning every ounce of available dark energy, causing even their souls to flicker with madness.
However, this final desperate strike was unleashed, yet it failed to harm the colossal beast in the slightest.
Five flickering rays of sinister light flew into the mouth of the beast, yet not even a single tooth was able to be shaken! After the radiance dispersed, the beast remained completely unharmed.
In the end, amidst the terrified and desperate gaze of the demonic beings, the colossal beast within the chaotic expanse of stars faintly twitched its nostrils and took a gentle breath…
"Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
Amidst the demonic beings' piercing and mournful howls, a radiant aura of vital energy surged from the bodies of all five demons.
The majestic and immense vital energy of the innate demonic being was swiftly drawn away by an invisible force, transforming into five shimmering galaxies within the void.
--In the face of this colossal beast, these five innate demons surprisingly displayed no resistance whatsoever! They were directly depleted of their life essence!
Upon witnessing this scene, Lu Heng fell into silence.
Grasping the unconscious Sun Yan, Lu Heng's figure transformed into a brilliant thunderous light, vanishing into the distance. The fleeting radiance, akin to the swiftness of light itself, propelled Lu Heng to the utmost pinnacle of speed.
However, at this moment, a tremendous suction power captured Lu Heng.
The so-called world's swiftest fleeting radiance, astonishingly, was abruptly interrupted!
Lu Heng's figure descended directly from the fleeting radiance.
Carrying the radiant vitality infused with thunderous brilliance, it was drawn from within Lu Heng's being, converging towards the colossal beast beyond the rift in the fabric of space.
The indescribable iciness seized Lu Heng's soul, freezing it solid. Helplessly witnessing the frantic extraction of the vital essence within his own being, he found himself unable to even wield the Heaven's Divination Nine Swords.
Clutching Sun Yan's unconscious body, Lu Heng's emotions were filled with immense anxiety.
Although the loss of this primordial spirit is a trivial matter, Sun Yan must not perish in this place!
The resplendent brilliance of thunderous lightning burst forth from within Lu Heng's body. The accumulated aura of thunder, nurtured over several years, erupted explosively at this moment, transforming in the extradimensional space into a black and flickering cloud of annihilation.
At this moment, the only thing that Lu Heng could rely on was the energy of thunder accumulated within his body for many years!
Because this energy of thunder doesn't require Lu Heng's conscious control, but rather the release of the constraints on the aura of thunder, this ferocious and terrifying aura of thunder will burst forth in a mighty manner!
In the extradimensional space, the intertwined red and black aura of thunder transformed into a massive river, hundreds of meters wide, sweeping directly towards the terrifying beasts outside the extradimensional space.
The terrifying aura of the Heaven Thunder Destruction emerged, finally eliciting a response from this monstrously daunting behemoth. The densely packed golden vertical patterns on the creature's body trembled violently, seemingly sensing the presence of a certain archenemy.
In the next moment, the surging and majestic aura of thunder collided with the surface of the creature's body.
In the midst of the thunderous and terrifying explosion, as the five demonic beings fiercely attacked, they witnessed an unexpected development on the seemingly indestructible surface of the colossal beast… a faint crack?
Lu Heng, who witnessed this scene, was rendered speechless.
The aura of thunder that annihilates everything surged forth, and astonishingly, only left a shallow crack of less than three meters on the surface of the behemoth?
Such an injury, in comparison to the colossal and horrifying body of the beast that loomed over the entire world, can be completely disregarded!
Meanwhile, outside the spatial rift, the enormous creature appeared momentarily bewildered. Within the densely clustered vertical tinges of golden hues on its surface, a shared sentiment was revealed - perplexity.
This creature, seems to be perplexed as to why Lu Heng is so feeble?
It is as if it is also perplexed as to why this attack, infused with a familiar aura, is so frail…
Within the extradimensional space, Lu Heng has already lost the ability to resist.
His soul, frozen by an eerie coldness, was unable to invoke even the Requiem Seal.
Otherwise, he could have relied on the Requiem Seal to escape to the Netherworld, along with Sun Yan…
As that extracted, radiant lightning-infused life essence, appeared to have flown out of the spatial rift, about to merge into the beast's body. However, at this very moment, Lu Heng's body trembled mightily.
Buzz!
In the deafening roar, Lu Heng felt as if his entire body was on the verge of exploding!
The indescribable agony, almost tearing apart his spiritual essence.
In his incredulous gaze, an immensely colossal Cloud Sea Sky Palace shimmered with celestial thunderous radiance, revolving around him and materializing at his side.
The resounding toll of the grand bell echoed within the celestial palace.
A colossal divine throne stood beneath Lu Heng's feet. As he gazed into the distance, what he beheld was no longer a peculiar and exotic dimensional realm, but a vast and magnificent Cloud Sea Sky Palace!
Countless pavilions and towers, ethereal white clouds swirling, intermittently appearing and disappearing in the field of vision.
And amid the flickering lightning, the resounding toll from above grew increasingly thunderous!
Following that, a fair-skinned woman's palm extended from the void, striking towards the dreadful behemoth beyond the rift in space.
Merely the nails on her fingers were as expansive as a boundless expanse crafted from white jade! And the size of this palm alone extended for tens of millions of meters!
Even though it paled in comparison to the terrifying behemoths outside, it was equally immense, enough to send shivers down one's spine.
