Chapter 2373: Severed Arm

The six Demon G.o.ds stood tall with the world under their feet, their demonic might roaring like rolling thunder as if they were each the master of millions of demons. Each of the auras of their Demon Arts, which flowed on them, were unique from each other.

Yu Sheng stood in the center with a solemn expression. As his demon might surged and roared, he raised his head and looked towards the Divine Child of the Celestial Vajra Region.

Just then, golden divine light spanning more than 10,000 miles streamed down from the skies. One after another, terrifying voices of the Great Path echoed out from; it was as though these formless sounds could shatter the void. In the next instant, the celestial figure exerted an incredibly great divine force as he raised his hand to release a blast. Trillions of golden divine lights shot out, deluging the skies of the region. At the same time, countless Vajra Divine Seals came raining down. Within them was the strongest divine seal of all, able to destroy s.p.a.ce itself.

Unmatched demonic blades started forming in each of the six Demonic G.o.ds’ hands; each of the Demonic G.o.ds had different blade stances.

In the next moment, the first swing of the blade was made. The physical world roared as rays of light shot out from the blade and shrouded the skies.

Then came the second swing—even more powerful and overwhelming than before. It gushed forward continuously as it was complemented by the sword qi of the first strike.

Followed by that, the third swing, and the fourth swing!

“Nine Slashes of the Heavenly Demon!”

The powerful cultivators around them were shaken to their core. They never thought that Yu Sheng would use the Nine Slashes of the Heavenly Demon in tandem with the Heavenly Demon G.o.dly Advent. According to legend, this was a technique used only by the Devil Emperor when he conquered the Devil World and crushed countless demon overlords!

Now, Yu Sheng used the Heavenly Demon G.o.dly Advent to perform the Nine Slashes of the Heavenly Demon, slas.h.i.+ng six continuous times. Each slash was more potent than the last as the countless sword rays exploded in the air and almost split s.p.a.ce and time in the area. The Vajra Divine Seals were crushed and eradicated.

In the middle of it all, the first six slashes of the Nine Slashes of the Heavenly Demon fused and emitted a sword ray that spanned more than 10,000 miles, forming a Sky-Splitting Demonic Blade that carried a Broadsword Will capable of tearing apart the skies of the region. At last, the Sky-splitting Demonic Blade slashed onto the strongest divine seal at the center.

Tss… As the Broadsword Will landed, the divine seal was split through the middle. At the same time, the supremely dominating demonic blade continued to slice towards the figure of the Celestial Vajra Ancient G.o.d. Everything in its way was shattered.

The Vajra Ancient G.o.d’s palm slammed down on the skies beneath him. His vast golden divine light erupted, and his Vajra Divine Powers were exerted to their fullest potential with extreme ferociousness, directly blasting onto the Demonic Blade.

“Break!” Yu Sheng roared. He raised his head to watch the celestial sky, where a Demon G.o.d Projection appeared; it was so large that one could not see where it ended. It slashed out a single Broadsword Will, which fused into the Demon Blade. It was as if the blade carried the Will of the Demon G.o.d himself.

The Divine Seal was split up in an instant, and the arm of the Vajra Ancient G.o.d was slashed upon.

A crack appeared on the arm and started expanding upward. The expression of the G.o.d projection above the celestial skies changed into one of shock and fear. The vast Divine Lights erupted again, and he wielded the full power of the Vajra Region. But at this point, it was already futile.

The Demonic Lights inundated the skies. Starting from a thin line, the entire golden dominion was hacked in half while the golden light screen, which shrouded the celestial skies, was shattered. Some could hear an agonized scream coming from inside as a bright red bloodstain appeared from the broken golden lights. Some bits of blood spilled down and scattered into the void.

The hearts of many who watched pounded, and all the powerful cultivators looked at the figure who stood in the void—the Divine Child of the Vajra Region.

As the light screen shattered and the divine powers within dissipated, they saw a figure appear at the initial spot. It was the Divine Child of the Vajra Region. Shockingly, one of his arms was severed. Clearly, the arm of the celestial G.o.d was a manifestation of his arm, and it had been slashed off by Yu Sheng.

The Divine Child of the Vajra Region had an arm slashed off by Yu Sheng!

“He’s ruthless!” The cultivators of the Divine Prefecture gasped in their hearts. Yu Sheng seriously dared to do something so ruthless; an arm slashed off by his Demonic Blade was a wound on the Great Path. Even though a Renhuang Plane being could regenerate broken limbs, have incredible healing powers, and could survive nearly any injury so long as he was still breathing, if he were wounded by a Great Path power that was stronger than his own, it would be extremely difficult to recover. If he could exceed the Plane of the attack that caused the Great Path injury or obtain a high-level medication, then he could heal it completely.

Otherwise, the severed arm was likely impossible to recover. No one knew if there were ways within the Vajra Region to heal it.

But the only one ruthless enough to do such a thing was Yu Sheng. He really showed everyone how ruthless high-level cultivators from the Devil World could be and how bold and fearless they were to inflict such grave wounds upon the Divine Child from the Vajra Region. Even the powerful cultivators from the other Ancient G.o.d Clans of the Divine Prefecture wouldn’t dare do such a thing.

The hearts of the high-level cultivators from the Vajra Region trembled, their figures flew into the air, and strands of powerful aura started to erupt. But then one person stopped them, waved his hand, and the many numerous high-level cultivators all temporarily subdued their anger.

This was the Vajra Divine Child’s fight; it was his hurdle, and he would have to face it eventually. No matter how powerful he became, there would forever be someone who would overwhelm him.

The Vajra Divine Child had already cultivated to the Eighth Plane. If he could overcome this setback, then he could grow to become the Vajra Region Lord. If he fell before this hurdle, he would likely stop at this stage for the rest of his life, and it would be difficult for him to keep his status as the Divine Child of the Vajra Region.

Furthermore, this was a fair battle. The person who severed his arm was Yu Sheng from the Devil World, who could have been taught the demonic arts by the Devil Emperor himself. What could they do about it? Try to get revenge on Yu Sheng? That would be starting a war with the Devil World.

The Vajra Region was a force of the Vajra Domain; they were extremely powerful. But if they were really to start a war with the Devil World, they would be overestimating themselves.

The Devil World was a force that could take on the entire Divine Prefecture on its own.

“You can all stop watching now. A cultivator who studied under the Devil Emporer, the most charming person of the entire Heavenly Mandate Realm, Shenying the Great’s Guqin, and a G.o.ddess… What is there to hesitate about?” said a voice; it was a powerful cultivator from the Haotian Clan.

Since the Vajra Divine Child had one arm slashed off, the nature of this battle had changed. Before this, they were trying to use their aura and might to force their wills upon Futian, but now, this was a true battle between equals.

The cultivators nodded, clearly understanding the situation. Divine Lights started circling around their bodies. Instantly, the vast voids were deluged by the Might of the Great Path. The aura emitted from it was terrifying beyond imagination. It encased the entire Heavenly Mandate City and expanded the battlefield to infinity.

Atop the celestial skies, the power of the Great Path flowed. It was as if someone released the Divine Wheel of the Great Path to forge a Great Path Domain.

Yu Sheng s.h.i.+fted his gaze away from the Vajra Divine Child towards the other cultivators. With that slash just now, he had roughly figured out the power level of the Vajra Divine Child. However, although the Vajra Divine Child released his Secret Arts, he was still only at the Eighth Plane; the Ninth Plane cultivators here were surely stronger than an Eighth Plane cultivator. Therefore, it was a safe bet that his battle would not be easy.

Dang, Dang… Just then, countless dancing notes entered the ears of all of the cultivators present, causing these powerful cultivators of the Divine Prefecture to feel an extremely strong will—the Will of Grief. Each note that entered their ears invaded their will directly and without exception, causing them to feel grief.

“We can’t let him continue playing the Divine Requiem,” someone said as he looked towards where Ye Futian was located. Wherever he looked, s.p.a.ce was being warped and twisted!
