Chapter 2374: Exterminate Demons

Buzz!

The Tian Mo's oppressive aura was overwhelming as it fled desperately through the void, not out of fear of Ye Chen, but because it was not at its peak state and was already injured. More importantly, Ye Chen was too unpredictable—he not only wielded Di Dao Sha Qi but had also comprehended numerous laws, making him extremely difficult to kill.

Though the Tian Mo's intelligence was limited, it wasn't foolish and knew to temporarily avoid the confrontation.

"Which way are you going?"

From behind, Ye Chen surged forward, enveloped in a golden immortal sea, like a war god with a domineering presence.

The Tian Mo smirked sinisterly, its expression growing more grotesque and menacing. It had shed its previous Black Lian form and transformed into a human shape, boosting its combat power and speed. It believed Ye Chen couldn't catch up.

However, in the next moment, it was caught off guard. Ye Chen, who had been chasing from behind, suddenly appeared in front like a ghost and swung a sword straight at its head.

The Tian Mo's face changed drastically, stunned in disbelief. How had he gotten there?

Thud!

Ye Chen's sword struck true, severing the Tian Mo's massive head in an instant. This was all thanks to the Fei Lei Shen technique; during their earlier battle, he had imprinted a Lun Hui mark on the Tian Mo's body. Unaware of this, the Tian Mo had no idea what had happened.

Even with its head severed, the Tian Mo didn't die. It staggered backward, filled with shock and embarrassment. It had boldly claimed it would settle scores with Ye Chen another day, but now it had nearly been finished off in one go. Who would have thought a minor Quasi-Emperor initial-stage holy body could have so many hidden cards?

Clang!

Ye Chen pressed the attack with another sword strike, devastating in its force.

The Black Lian Tian Mo didn't move, allowing the sword to come. But this time, Ye Chen's strike missed, or more precisely, it passed straight through the Tian Mo's body, catching him completely off guard. Clearly, this Tian Mo had mastered Di Dao Miao Miao as well.

"Die!"

The Tian Mo let out a ferocious roar and thrust its spear at Ye Chen.

Thud!

Ye Chen took the full brunt of the strike, sent flying with his back shattered, blood and bones spraying everywhere. The mighty Huang Gu Sheng Ti was nearly obliterated by the Black Lian Tian Mo's spear.

"Truly outstanding," Ye Chen coughed up blood as he steadied himself.

Buzz!

The Tian Mo, having erased the Lun Hui mark, closed in instantly. Its pitch-black spear was unmatched, infused with destructive power, aimed straight at Ye Chen's head. Not to boast, but this strike could even overwhelm a peak Quasi-Emperor, thanks to the locking force that ensured it hit its mark.

Thud!

Ye Chen was hit again, but the spear pierced only his shoulder, as he had used Tai Xu Nuo Yi in the previous instant to evade the vital spots. Otherwise, that blow might have ended him.

In a flash, he retreated, dispelling the killing intent and regenerating his Sheng Ti.

On the opposite side, the Black Lian Tian Mo followed like a shadow, still wielding its spear, now fused with a thousand domineering secret techniques—all lethal divine abilities. It locked onto Ye Chen's Yuan Shen, intent on obliterating the holy body with one strike.

Ye Chen sneered and instantly activated Ba Bu Tian Long.

Roar!

The dragon's roar was thunderous, the eight divine dragons with their eight tails exuding overwhelming dominance.

Bang! Thud!

The two sounds rang out almost simultaneously. The Black Lian Tian Mo's spear was blocked by Ba Bu Tian Long, sparking brilliant flames as if striking steel. Then, the divine dragons' tails whipped it away, sending it tumbling with blood and bones flying from its armored body.

"Damned thing!"

The Tian Mo roared in fury, filled with ferocity and resentment. It invoked a forbidden secret technique, its already dark form entering a demonic state, with its combat power surging. It regrew its divine body and head, its stature growing by three zhang, bursting through its armor. Even its spear gained more demonic essence.

Ye Chen showed no fear, instantly unleashing Da Lun Hui Tian Zang, multiplying his power tenfold and making his aura sky-shattering.

As the tenth emperor of Da Chu, when it came to god-level buffs, he was second to none.

"Kill!"

The enraged Tian Mo had gone mad, its grotesque face twisting beyond recognition, no longer resembling a ghost—it was a ghost, a demonic god of pure malice, surging with demonic energy.

"Come on!"

The holy body stood firm, its aura dominating, enhanced by the blood-stained Di Jian. It attacked bare-handed with unyielding golden fists.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

The battle erupted, causing black holes to tremble.

One side was the peak Quasi-Emperor Tian Mo, injured and suppressed by the heavens, yet carrying Di Yun. Every attack was laced with imperial essence, landing heavy blows on Ye Chen multiple times.

It was like a demonic god, rampaging with demonic fury, treading on a sea of demonic blood, backed by a blood-red demonic land, fighting with frenzied intent to reduce Ye Chen to ashes.

The other side was the Zhutian Sheng Ti, the tenth emperor of Da Chu at peak condition, wielding no weapons, just a pair of invincible golden fists that repeatedly shattered the Tian Mo.

He was like a war god, his presence overshadowing the eight directions, striding on the golden immortal sea amid the Hun Dun great realm, with unbreakable battle intent that allowed him to dominate the Tian Mo time and again.

From this clash between the demonic god and the war god, it was clear the Huang Gu Sheng Ti Ye Chen held the absolute upper hand, relentlessly pressing the Tian Mo and forcing the peak Quasi-Emperor to its knees.

Ah!

The Tian Mo howled in rage, its hair disheveled and body drenched in blood and bones, driven mad by the Huang Gu Sheng Ti. It couldn't withstand Ye Chen's overwhelming attacks, its demonized body torn to pieces, every fragment of demonic bone stained with demonic blood and turning to ash as it fell.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Black blood splattered across the black hole, mingled with dazzling golden Sheng blood.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

The battle's shockwaves rattled the starry skies of Zhutian, drawing crowds who looked up in awe. The younger ones were clueless, but the elders knew what was happening. Outsiders might be unaware, but Da Chu understood—a massive battle was raging in the black hole, fiercely intense.

"It must be a powerful Tian Mo," Situ Nan said thoughtfully.

"Anything short of the emperor realm won't take down Ye Chen," Xie Yun remarked, his eyes gleaming with divine light.

"The supreme aura has spread to all of Zhutian," Xiao Ling Wa said thoughtfully, stroking his little chin. Even through the black hole's barrier, it seemed he could see Ye Chen, that beast, in the midst of battle, while the opposing Tian Mo must be in utter misery.

More and more people gathered, many armed and ready. If the Tian Mo escaped, one person might not handle it, so they'd gang up. The era of recuperation had seen no major wars for years, leaving everyone bored, with their dormant blood now boiling.

The starry skies were lively, but the black hole was even more so.

Looking out, the Black Lian Tian Mo's body was battered beyond repair, unable to regenerate. Ye Chen wasn't giving it any chances, deploying his hidden cards like the Fei Lei Shen Jue with deadly precision.

Once again, the Black Lian Tian Mo fled, escaping for its life.

It was afraid now, truly afraid. Only after fighting Ye Chen did it realize how terrifying this minor Quasi-Emperor was. Even with its mastery of various Di Dao Xian Fa, it couldn't match his fists, making its divine abilities seem worthless against them.

Indeed, Ye Chen's Ba Huang Fist was fiercely powerful, capable of shattering ten thousand laws with a single strike.

At the Quasi-Emperor level, his comprehension of Dao surpassed even Xian Fa. Enhanced by Dao, its destructive power was world-ending. In terms of Dao enlightenment, the peak Quasi-Emperor Tian Mo was no match for him.

"You can't escape."

Ye Chen's words rang out coldly and resolutely as he caught up to the Black Lian Tian Mo. He unified the nine paths of Ba Huang and delivered a punch that obliterated the cosmos, shattering yin and yang.

Thud!

The fleeing Black Lian Tian Mo collapsed without resistance, its shattered demonic body exploded by Ye Chen's fist, leaving only a faint Yuan Shen that shot away like demonic light.

When it steadied itself, its Yuan Shen nearly dissipated, its eyes filled with terror.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Ye Chen advanced through the air, each step deliberate and heavy, infused with Dao essence. The Huang Gu Sheng Ti was so massive that every step made the universe tremble.

"Who are you? Exactly who are you?" The Black Lian Tian Mo staggered backward, its ethereal Yuan Shen flickering unsteadily. It had suffered severe damage that affected its true form, leaving it extremely weak.

Ye Chen didn't answer. This peak Quasi-Emperor Tian Mo was quite amusing. If he said he was Ye Chen, would it even know? Defeat was defeat—there was no point in such nonsense.

Clang!

The blood-stained Di Jian hummed as it descended, enhanced with locking and sealing powers, pinning the Tian Mo in place.

"No! No!"

The Black Lian Tian Mo shrieked in terror, but it was futile. Ye Chen felt no pity and offered none, driven by a deep blood feud.

Thud!

The Di Jian fell, and the Tian Mo was destroyed, its ethereal Yuan Shen scattered to the winds.

In its final moment, it truly regretted. It had lain dormant for eons—why couldn't it have stayed put? No, it had to stir trouble, wandering the black hole and provoking a god of death.
