Battle Through the Heavens: Harmony of Flame and Shadow

Chapter 256: Chapter 276: Jiang Yun Takes Action!



The six Demon Emperors, upon seeing this, collectively roared in anger. Demon energy surged like the roars of ten thousand beasts, rushing towards the city.

"Has the reinforcement from Daqian Palace not arrived yet?"

Feeling the incoming assault, the city's inhabitants, looking at the fallen Lin Jingtian, couldn't help but feel a sense of despair rising in their hearts.

Meanwhile, deep underground in a certain place on Chiyan Continent, a nondescript golden flame suddenly began to emanate a powerful aura. Countless flames nurtured within the Chiyan Mountains trembled and bowed towards its direction, as if encountering their emperor.

The golden flame at this moment was emitting heat like a blazing sun, seemingly aiming to incinerate the sky.

However, in the next second, as if sensing something, the golden flame shuddered and returned to its ordinary appearance, making everything disappear quietly, as if what just happened was an illusion.

"Boom!"

Just when everyone was in despair and the demon energy was about to crash into the city, a massive spatial rift suddenly tore open in the sky. A 'slender' hand abruptly reached out from within and inserted into the earth below, beginning to lift!

It was an unforgettable scene. The hand wasn't gigantic — in fact, compared to the towering Demon Emperor figures, it looked pathetically small. 

But at this moment, the entire continent truly moved, from light tremors to violent shakes, accompanied by earth-shattering rumbles, causing everyone to be stupefied.

"Rise!"

Along with the explosive shout from within the spatial rift, everyone witnessed the veins bulging on the arm, resembling dragons. As the arm exerted all its strength to lift, the hand seemed to possess infinite divine power, attempting to elevate the entire border and shake the world.

"Rumble!"

The ground surged, shooting towards the sky. Countless boulders trembled and fell, with the entire continent quaking in resonance.

"Boom!"

A deafening crash resounded. The border trembled, black mist dissipated, revealing a massive abyss left outside the city.

"Who goes there?"

The six Demon Emperors' expressions abruptly changed as their attack was so shockingly thwarted. They sternly gazed at the huge spatial rift.

The Demon Emperors' roar also awoke the stunned crowd. Everyone looked at the spatial rift with hope, praying that a savior would emerge.

"You bunch just don't learn your lesson. Over ten Demon Emperors fell at Shengyuan not long ago, and now you come to the North to create trouble. Are you dissatisfied with having too many Demon Emperors and need to offer some comfort to me?"

A gentle voice echoed, but it sent chills down everyone's spine. A figure in a black robe slowly walked out of the spatial rift, calmly looking at the Demon Emperors and the numerous demon army.

"It's you!"

"How can you be in the North?"

"Damn, it's that executioner Jiang Yun. He's come to the North, not Shengyuan!"

The moment the person appeared, the Demon Emperors' faces changed drastically. Recently, if anyone had the highest fame across the two realms, it was undoubtedly Jiang Yun, though the demonic races outside the domain itched to take his head.

"It's the Demon Slayer King, Lord Jiang Yun!"

In contrast to the shocked extraterrestrial demons, the side of Daqian was brimming with joy. Jiang Yun's reputation was at its peak, rumored to have three heads and six arms, and could easily slay even the Sky Demon Emperor. With such a strong reinforcer, they were finally saved.

"It's really him." Unlike others, Lin Jingtian knew more of the inside story. Seeing the real person for the first time, he couldn't help but feel shaken.

Too young, he was simply too young. When he was that age, he was still troubled by breaking through to Earth Sovereign, yet the other had already reached the peak of the Daqian world. The gap was truly despairing.

But at this moment, he fervently hoped Jiang Yun to be even stronger. Rumors were just rumors. Facing a Sky Demon Emperor, he didn't know if Jiang Yun really had the strength to counter.

Now, unable to fight anymore, he could only hope Jiang Yun's achievements weren't mere legends.

"Since I've run into you, and I've just used up my demon-slaying points, it's time to replenish them!" Jiang Yun said calmly, looking at the shocked crowd. Everyone couldn't help but draw a cold breath. To him, killing a Demon Emperor seemed as easy as killing a chicken.

"Not good!"

Upon hearing Jiang Yun's words, the Demon Emperors' faces changed instantly.

"Kill!"

In the next moment, a simple command burst from Jiang Yun's mouth. A myriad of flames erupted from his body, surging like an overwhelming sea, covering the sky and earth.

Each flickering flame seemed like a fearful divine power, burning through ages and shattering the void. Countless flames formed colossal waves rolling forward, creating a terrifying scene.

It was an unforgettable moment. The sea of flames dominated, Jiang Yun alone ripping through space, diving into the demonic army, sending bodies flying.

"Impudent!"

After the initial shock, a Demon Emperor roared. Though Jiang Yun's displayed power was exaggerated, they had a Sky Demon Emperor backing them, and they regained composure quickly.

"Army, form a formation, annihilate this scourge!"

While terrified, the demons' hearts surged with a battle spirit. Killing Jiang Yun would be an unprecedented achievement, far surpassing the merit of slaying a saint-ranked Heavenly Sovereign.

"Rumble!"

The array was cleaved by a sword. The Emperor Sword's momentum was unstoppable, each cut embedding with the aura of reincarnation, carrying slices of vitality.

Around him, the force of life and death intertwined, forming an eternal diagram, brimming with endless killing intent.

"Kill!"

A Demon Emperor roared. Behind him, a colossal Demon Emperor figure appeared, wielding a massive demonic blade, slashing towards Jiang Yun. The boundless demon energy roared, shattering the earth for miles.

"Rumble!"

The ground quaked violently, countless people were thrown off. The Demon Emperor's strike was so terrifying it could collapse a continent. But Jiang Yun blocked it with a single hand.

Jiang Yun's body had undergone numerous refinements, creating an incredibly strong physique, impervious to all methods. At this moment, he held up the colossal demonic blade with one hand and wielded the Emperor Sword with the other, slashing horizontally.

The Demon Emperor was cleaved into two. The boundless vitality and death energy shattered his body, annihilating his soul instantly. His body turned to ashes, scattering in the wind.

Such a crushing kill made everyone's pupils contract sharply, but the remaining thirteen Demon Emperors didn't miss the opportunity.

Yes, thirteen. From the moment Jiang Yun appeared, the eight Demon Emperors besieging the four Heavenly Sovereigns of Daqian Palace also joined the assault on Jiang Yun.

At this moment, the simultaneous attack of the thirteen Demon Emperors, coupled with the demonic army, rained countless divine powers upon Jiang Yun.

"Impervious to all methods!"

Countless divine powers engulfed Jiang Yun, yet he emerged unscathed, ripping apart an unprepared Demon Emperor.

In his vicinity, order disintegrated, divine powers dissolved. Truly achieving imperviousness, no attack or divine power could approach him.

"Impossible!!!"

"This divine power actually exists?"

"This divine power truly exists in the Daqian world, is it the world's will's last counterattack? Is he the legendary child of fate?"

"It must be so. Immune in one realm is already invincible, if he remains the same in our realm, it's too defiant!"

After witnessing Jiang Yun's invulnerability, everyone's initial skepticism turned into speculative murmurings.

They were ancient beings, some even dating back to the Immortal Emperor era, possessing extraordinary knowledge, including the will of the Daqian world and the existence of the child of fate.

At this moment, they would rather believe Jiang Yun was the fated child, the will of Daqian's last counterattack.

Unconcerned with their speculations, Jiang Yun's Reincarnation Avatar emerged behind him. As he struck with his palm, boundless light emanated from his palm, like an erupting sun, shooting out thousands of beams, each scorching enough to perforate the void.

"Retreat quickly!"

"This person is invincible; we must lure him into our realm and request Lord Sky Demon Emperor to slay him!"

It was a stunning sight. After Jiang Yun easily dispatched two Demon Emperors, the remaining twelve had already lost their will to fight and began retreating swiftly.

"Boom!"

Unfazed, Jiang Yun expanded his invincibility shield, surrounded by countless flames transforming into dragons, phoenixes, heaven-swallowing pythons, nine-headed heavenly serpents, and other divine beasts, protecting him.

He himself stood in the center, surrounded by life and death energy, harnessing the power of reincarnation. At this moment, he was incomparably mighty, charging into the demonic horde, causing the heavens to collapse and spirits to wail, a terrifying scene that left everyone dumbstruck and speechless.

The people of the Daqian world watched as Jiang Yun tore through the demonic army like a ferocious tiger among sheep, decimating their formation and easily slaying four more Demon Emperors, causing even the Heavenly Sovereigns to flinch.

To Jiang Yun, those seemingly invincible Demon Emperors were nothing more than ants to be easily crushed.

"How bold!"

At this moment, a furious roar echoed from the distant interdimensional passage. Simultaneously, the pervasive demonic energy surged wildly.

"Boom!"

As the voice faded, boundless demonic energy surged, transforming into a massive pale hand, descending fiercely towards Jiang Yun.

"Lord Flame Demon!"

Seeing their leader take action, the demonic army heaved a sigh of relief. Jiang Yun was terrifying, reaping lives like grain. Facing him was immense pressure!

Now that their Sky Demon Emperor had stepped in, they felt a sense of reassurance.

"Emperor Sword: Slay Evil and Gods!"

Facing the descending pale hand, Jiang Yun remained composed. His Emperor Sword swept across, its sword light reaching the sky, seemingly capable of severing the heavens, illuminating eternity, and quelling the world!

The Emperor Sword, an unparalleled artifact, had been nurtured by Jiang Yun since acquisition, further repaired with treasures from the Daqian Pavilion. It had regained its unparalleled glory.

As the sword light swept past, the giant hand was effortlessly cleaved, followed by the demonic army seemingly harvested like wheat, falling in droves.

"Good, good, good, I shall kill you!"

Seeing that even more of their forces fell under Jiang Yun's defense, the Flame Demon Emperor was instantly enraged. As a exalted Sky Demon Emperor, although not the top expert in the tribe, he was still a top figure, powerful enough to rival any initial-stage Sky Demon Emperor.

Sensing a terrifying flame on Chiyan Continent that could potentially elevate him to the latter stage of Sky Demon Emperor, surpassing the current first in the Flame Demon Tribe, he envisioned claiming the title of Flame Sky Demon Emperor.

But all plans were thwarted by Jiang Yun's interference, resulting in heavy losses. Returning would surely invoke punishment, fueling his fury to forget the Daqian World's suppression on Sky Demon Emperors.

"Boom!"

A terrifying black flame spear shot from the horizon, exploding with bloodthirsty heat. Merely its presence shattered vast expanses of void.

Witnessing this terrifying scene, Lin Jingtian and others who had faith in Jiang Yun felt a chill. The Sky Demon Emperor's attack was unmatched; even an Immortal-Rank Heavenly Sovereign couldn't withstand this enraged strike.

"Dang!"

Jiang Yun flicked, manifesting a black and white giant bell before the incoming assault, blocking the strike.

This move was derived from the immortal rune of the Immortal Golden Body in the Emperor's inheritance, showcasing endless transformations and indestructibility, comparable to divine artifacts.

With his reincarnation energy, comparable to the indestructible Qi of the Immortal Golden Body, Jiang Yun's Reincarnation Indestructible Bell combined defense and formidable attack power, rivaling divine artifacts.

Seeing his attack blocked, the Flame Demon Emperor begrudgingly exclaimed, "Damn, if it weren't for the Daqian World's laws, today I'd have your head!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun's eyes gleamed with a cold smile, "The weak always find excuses. Let me come and show you the true strength!"

Jiang Yun's bold words elicited mixed reactions. Concerned Daqian members feared his venture into the demonic realm, a perilous endeavor!

On the other side, demonic forces showed fervent joy.
