Battle Through the Heavens: Harmony of Flame and Shadow

Chapter 252: Chapter 270 - The Invincible Jiang Yun!



In an area not far from the Four Saint Towers, the people of the Great Thousand World hadn't even arrived close before they felt the rumbling sounds of the battlefield. As they looked at the continuous billowing blood mist in the distance, they grew increasingly solemn.

"Just ahead is the Four Saint Towers. It looks like the demons' target is the remnant souls of the four Heavenly Demon Emperors."

"We can't let them rescue the Demon Emperor's souls; otherwise, the Great Thousand World might once again face the threat of four top-tier Heavenly Demon Emperors."

"Let's hope that the demon hunters in the Abyss Continent can hold on!"

Qin Tian and his companions finally reached the edge of the battlefield. Witnessing the terrifying fluctuations, many Heavenly Sovereigns exchanged glances, their expressions serious.

"Charge!"

At this moment, Qin Tian's eyes revealed a terrifying killing intent. He let out a long roar and charged towards the most intense part of the battlefield, leading the charge.

"Let's go!"

Behind him, Lu Lao and the others exchanged a glance, nodded gravely, transformed into streaks of light, and closely followed Qin Tian.

"Roar—"

"You little brat, you'll die a horrible death!"

Just as everyone arrived, a booming roar echoed across heaven and earth. The people of the Great Thousand World were instantly dumbfounded by the scene before them.

The formidable Jiang Yun swung out a boundless crystal sword light, striking into the ranks of the outlandish evil race's army.

The sword light was incredibly fast, carrying a frighteningly divine aura, piercing through swathes of blood mist. In the forefront, shadows resembling malevolent spirits fell to the ground continuously.

"Ah—"

Piercing screams arose one after another. Three Demon Emperors, weakened and with nowhere to retreat, were swept away by the sword light. Their physical bodies were instantly obliterated, and their shattered demonic souls floated in the sky. Before they could react, Jiang Yun extended his hand, and the Demon Slayer Command flew out, absorbing the shattered demonic souls in the next moment.

Aside from the Demon Emperors, many earth-level demon supremes were also swept away by this single sword strike.

As numerous demonic souls poured in, the number on the Demon Slayer Command, already over forty thousand, began to jump rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it reached as many as sixty-five thousand, showing how many outlandish evil beings Jiang Yun had exterminated with this strike.

This was nearly enough to grant three people the title of Demon King!

"Who is this?"

"Am I dreaming? Did he just cut down three Demon Emperors?"

"This, this..."

"It's him!"

Jiang Yun's sword not only terrified the outlandish evil race but also shocked many strong individuals from the Great Thousand World, creating a bizarre scene on the battlefield. The outlandish evil race and people of the Great Thousand World, supposed to be fighting to the death, all directed their gaze towards the young man holding the crystal long sword, his face cold, seemingly godlike.

"Jiang Yun." At this moment, Lu Tong (Lu Lao) finally saw Jiang Yun's face clearly and cried out in shock. 

"What? He's Jiang Yun?"

"He's so powerful! Fighting against such numerous Demon Emperors, even a saintly power wouldn't find it easy!"

All eyes filled with fervor looked up at Jiang Yun in the sky. Undoubtedly, at this moment, he was the center of attention. 

Qin Tian's eyes shimmered. Jiang Yun's strength astonished him. That sword strike was powerful, domineering, and ruthless, completely unreasonable. Even he could only handle three Demon Emperors of the same level simultaneously. Jiang Yun's display of overpowering strength left everyone in admiration.

At this moment, Jiang Yun paid no heed to the people of the Great Thousand World but instead looked solemnly at the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor. As expected, the top-tier Heavenly Demon Emperor was terrifying. Despite Jiang Yun suppressing many Demon Emperors with his invincible technique, he lacked the offensive power to deliver a fatal blow to a top-tier Heavenly Demon Emperor. Therefore, although the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor looked miserable, he wasn't in mortal danger.

More importantly...

Feeling the dwindling energy within him, Jiang Yun's heart sank. Though invincible, this technique consumed too much energy. With his late-stage Lingpin Heavenly Sovereign cultivation, he was almost reaching his limit. He feared only by breaking through to the saintly realm could he use it as a regular means.

"Uh~"

Suddenly, the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor, who had been cautiously watching Jiang Yun, noticed him halting. Recalling the other's violent offensive, this demon emperor, now reduced to a skeletal form, had his soul flames flicker in his eyes and shouted abruptly.

"Quick, take him down with all your might. He's about to falter. The more defying the technique, the more it depletes energy. He's at his end!"

The Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor, rarely so excited, finally regained his senses after nearly being beaten into oblivion. Although Jiang Yun's technique was unbeatable, his cultivation level was his biggest weakness. He couldn't maintain the invincible technique indefinitely.

Thinking of the terrifying technique, the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor decided to capture Jiang Yun before he could grow, or they might face another Undying Emperor.

"Boom!"

Terrifying sharpness erupted from the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor. In an instant, it was like a demonic sun rising behind him. A black streak of light tore through the space, stabbing towards Jiang Yun.

It was a bone spear, exuding an extremely evil aura, its spearhead carrying a terrifying sharpness as if to cleave the universe apart.

"Kill!"

Though initially taken aback, the other Demon Emperors naturally believed the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor's words. Suppressing their fear, they launched their most terrifying attacks towards Jiang Yun.

"Not good—"

"Quick, support Jiang Yun!"

Seeing the outlandish evil race's actions, the people of the Great Thousand World instantly reacted and surged towards Jiang Yun.

Boom!

A towering spiritual force surged like a storm, sweeping away the boundless evil energies. A giant figure holding a golden wheel appeared in the sky, surrounded by rolling spiritual force, exuding an immeasurable aura like the stars of the cosmos.

The Tianlun Demon Slayer form!

Ranked ninth on the Top 99 Supreme Forms, it was the powerful form cultivated by Qin Tian!

At this critical moment, Qin Tian was the fastest. He stood on the form's shoulders, with spiritual force raging like a storm, clearing out a clean space around him. In the next second, he appeared beside Jiang Yun, faced with the oncoming attacks and numerous aggressive demonic shadows, his expression indifferent, eyes filled with coldness, devoid of any fear.

"Invaders of the Great Thousand, kill!"

His cold voice resounded through heaven and earth, making everyone feel a chill, as if a blade were pressed against their necks.

Behind him, one by one, additional supreme forms appeared, and the rolling spiritual force, like a violent storm, swept the entire world. 

Six more thousand-foot supreme forms appeared, clearing the rampant evil energy and refilling the space with spiritual force. 

With the addition of Jiang Yun and Qin Tian, the Great Thousand World had eight Heavenly Sovereigns in action, their immense forms standing across the sky, their imposing presence rivaling that of the outlandish evil race.

No words were needed. A silent understanding made everyone immediately join forces to counter the attacks from the outlandish evil race.

"Damn—"

Seeing the reinforcements from the Great Thousand World arrive, the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor cursed under his breath. This made the chances of killing Jiang Yun even slimmer. Letting such a future enemy of the outlandish races go, he felt extremely unwilling.

"Charge, even if you have to self-destruct, kill that brat!" The Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor looked around at the Demon Emperors, his eyes growing more ferocious, and he quickly made a decision, letting out a sharp howl.

"I'll hold off the Heavenly Sovereigns of the Great Thousand World. Use any means necessary to kill that kid!"

"Kill!"

Demonic shadows filled the sky as demonic voices echoed.

Leading the charge, the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor encompassed the seven Heavenly Sovereigns, including Qin Tian, excluding only Jiang Yun. In an instant, eight towering giants appeared in the dark sky, their fierce energy tearing the void, turning the area into a forbidden zone. 

This battlefield was exclusively for the Heavenly Sovereigns and Demon Emperors. No matter how strong an Earth Supreme or how powerful a Demon King was, they couldn't approach this terrifying battle zone. 

The only fate awaiting them was no burial ground.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At this moment, the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor's terrifying strength was fully unleashed, with infinite demonic energy rampantly spreading, chilling everyone. Just him alone was suppressing seven Heavenly Sovereigns.

If he hadn't used the Corpse God Technique earlier, losing some power, Qin Tian and the others would be in grave danger.

Among the seven Heavenly Sovereigns, even Qin Tian was only at the Lingpin realm. Only one elder was at the early Xianpin stage, and the rest were Lingpin Heavenly Sovereigns. Facing the top-tier Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor, they were somewhat outmatched.

Meanwhile, the demon hunters of the Great Thousand World also summoned their supreme forms, with surging spiritual force transforming into storms, spreading like tidal waves. 

Countless faces were filled with resolute and excited expressions, all condensed into the single word "kill"!

Spiritual force surged like the sea, and their battle spirit was overwhelming.

Among the demon hunters were many with extraordinary talent, including spiritual array masters and battle array masters, clashing with the outlandish demon army.

Blood fell like raindrops, and severed limbs were strewn across the sky.

This area quickly turned into a meat grinder, with demons being torn apart and strong individuals of the Great Thousand World also falling.

While the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor and Qin Tian were fighting earth-shattering battles, Jiang Yun's side presented a one-sided trend.

"Kill him!"

Following the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor's command, the remaining Heavenly Demon Emperors hesitated under Jiang Yun's calm gaze, but they continued to follow the order with fearless determination.

For them, Jiang Yun was an enormous threat. They couldn't let him grow, or the outlandish evil race would never have peace.

Endless demonic tides and evil energy were pressing towards Jiang Yun!

Within a hundred thousand miles around the Four Saint Towers, boundless evil energy rampaged, transforming into a destructive force of wind, rain, and thunder, pouring down from the heavens.

Roars, war cries, and wails filled the land, and blood soaked the sky and earth, with severed limbs flying everywhere.

At this moment, Jiang Yun resembled a war god, holding the Celestial Emperor's Sword, ravaging the outlandish demon army. Without the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor's interference, he became even more relaxed.

Spiritual force and evil energy clashed ferociously, the resulting winds tearing through the void...

Around Jiang Yun, monumental flames forcibly burned a clear area within a ten-thousand-foot radius. Even Demon Emperors and Demon Kings had to avoid them repeatedly.

Caught unprepared, countless Demon Generals and Demon Kings were reduced to ashes. Many demons didn't even have time to let out a scream before vanishing from this world.

"You should die!"

Seeing so many of their kin killed by Jiang Yun, the surrounding Demon Emperors' eyes turned blood-red. These were their troops, their backbone of strength. Though emotionally detached, the loss pained them greatly.

"Boom!"

Jiang Yun turned his head, swinging his sword suddenly. The previously roaring Nether Demon Emperor didn't even let out a scream before he was split apart, dead with unfulfilled anger, unable to comprehend such a brilliant and swift sword strike, its blade as if slicing through the universe itself. He, a Nether Demon Emperor, was decapitated without a chance to react.

"Gulp!"

The surrounding Demon Emperors, who were seething with rage moments ago, instantly calmed down. They swallowed hard, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at the sword-wielding figure.

They even cursed the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor's ancestors multiple times in their hearts. Wasn't the opponent running out of energy? How could he still be so vigorous? Who cuts down a Demon Emperor with a single stroke when low on energy?

Indeed, Jiang Yun was running out of energy earlier, but the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor, overconfident, went to battle Qin Tian and the others, unintentionally lessening the pressure on Jiang Yun. Without the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor, Jiang Yun didn't have to rely on the energy-draining invincible technique.

Moreover, the slain outlandish evil beings provided Jiang Yun with considerable energy. However, his quick recovery was mainly due to the Fire Spirit Holy Flame burning within him.

This Holy Flame, comparable to an immortal-level Heavenly Sovereign, had been left unused since Jiang Yun obtained it, now serving as a backup energy source.

"Kill!"

After cutting down a Nether Demon Emperor, Jiang Yun wasn't satisfied. His eyes glowed as he looked at the remaining Demon Emperors, a smile on his face, holding the Celestial Emperor's Sword and charging towards them.

"Kill! He won't spare us. If we must die, let's die together!"

Seeing Jiang Yun approach, the remaining Demon Emperors' eyes flashed with ferocity. Jiang Yun wouldn't let them go; they could only fight to the death.

"Ah—"

Soon after, another Nether Demon Emperor lost both hands and a leg, his soul aura weakening, barely alive. He looked at Jiang Yun with determination and roared, "Even if I die, you won't get away with it!"

With that, he transformed into a streak of light and exploded beside Jiang Yun!

"Boom!"
