Chapter 494: One Sword Strike, Slaying an Immortal Emperor!

This wave of psychological warfare was truly ruthless; he even wanted Xue Yi to erect a monument.

Just as the two were performing this scene of "deep brotherly affection."

Suddenly, the space within the entire Demon Domain Abyss shook violently.

An Aura countless times more terrifying than the Demon Emperor Remnant Soul from before descended from the heavens without any warning.

Above the originally pitch-black abyss, a massive crack suddenly tore open.

A cold, indifferent eye peered through the crack, staring chillingly at the two people below.

"Trash."

An icy voice exploded in their ears.

Hearing this voice, Xue Yi trembled all over, and the color instantly drained from his face.

"De… Demon General?!"

That massive eye floated above the abyss; there was no emotion in its gaze, only endless indifference and killing intent.

Demon General Mo Yubai.

One of the seventy-two Earthly Fiend Demon Generals of the Eternal Night Demon Palace, an Immortal Emperor Realm powerhouse.

Although this was merely a projection of his will due to the isolation between the two worlds, that Aura belonging to an Immortal Emperor still made the entire abyss tremble.

"Xue Yi, this seat gave you a chance."

Demon General Mo Yubai's voice was like thunder from the Nine Heavens, causing blood to leak from Xue Yi's seven orifices.

"I gave you a demon body, gave you intelligence, and even gave you a Magic Treasure to suppress the remnant soul. And the result? You actually tell this seat that the Legacy is gone?"

"The end for trash is only death."

Before the voice had even faded.

A pillar of pitch-black light suddenly shot out from within that giant eye.

This pillar of light didn't have a grand momentum, but wherever it passed, space was directly annihilated, turning into nothingness.

This was an erasure from the level of rules.

"Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!!"

Xue Yi was scared out of his wits, desperately kowtowing for mercy. But in the face of such absolute power, he couldn't even move a finger and could only watch helplessly as that pillar of destruction fell.

It was over.

This time it was truly over.

Although Lin Dong was strong, he was only an Immortal King; how could he possibly block the will of an Immortal Emperor?

Xue Yi closed his eyes, waiting for death to arrive.

However.

One second passed.

Two seconds passed.

The expected pain did not come.

Xue Yi opened his eyes in confusion.

He saw that Big Brother Lin, who was supposed to be "critically injured and dying" and "utterly weak," had stood up straight at some point.

He stood in front of Xue Yi, holding his sword in one hand, the tip pointing diagonally toward the sky.

That black pillar of light, capable of erasing everything, actually came to a dead stop three inches before his sword tip.

"This…"

Xue Yi's mouth hung open, his jaw nearly hitting the ground.

At this moment, where was there even a hint of weakness in Zhou Chen?

His green robes billowed despite the lack of wind, and an indescribable, terrifying Sword Intent rose from within his body toward the sky.

This Sword Intent was so strong that it actually forced back Demon General Mo Yubai's Immortal Emperor Aura!

"What? You have to look at the master before you hit the dog."

Zhou Chen looked up at the giant eye in the sky, the corners of his mouth curling into a mocking arc.

"Demon General Mo Yubai, a guy like you who's hiding in some rat hole actually dares to move against my person in front of me?"

The giant eye in the sky contracted slightly; clearly, he hadn't expected this insignificant ant to be able to block one of his strikes.

"Who are you?"

A hint of gravity was added to Demon General Mo Yubai's voice.

"It's not important who I am."

Zhou Chen slowly raised the qingping sword in his hand.

Green light flowed over the sword's body, and countless dao principles could be faintly seen flickering within it.

Since he had been discovered, there was no longer any need to keep up the act.

In any case, this Demon Domain Abyss was isolated from heavenly secrets; as long as he cut down this will, who would know he did it?

It just so happened that he had just achieved a Breakthrough to the Tenth Layer Immortal King and had also fused with Immortal Emperor Sword Intent; he was just worrying about having nowhere to test his sword.

"What you need to understand is that your Divine Soul will today won't be going back."

The moment Zhou Chen's voice fell.

He moved.

Without any fancy movements, it was just a simple upward slash.

"Slash!"

A green sword light lit up from the bottom of the abyss.

Initially, the sword light was only three feet long, but in an instant, it surged to ten thousand feet, as if it were about to split the world in two.

Within the sword light, it not only contained Zhou Chen's terrifying Tenth Layer Immortal King cultivation but also fused with the space dao principle.

Immortal Emperor Sword Intent!

"This is… Immortal Emperor Sword Intent?! How is that possible?!"

Demon General Mo Yubai finally panicked.

He could clearly feel that the rule power contained in this sword strike was actually more profound than his main body's!

"No!!"

Demon General Mo Yubai wanted to withdraw his will, but it was already too late.

That sword strike was too fast.

So fast that it crossed the boundaries of time.

*Squelch—*

That giant eye floating above the firmament, along with that cracked spatial rift, was directly cleaved in two by this sword strike.

"Ah!!!"

A shrill scream echoed from the void, then abruptly stopped.

The black clouds filling the sky instantly dissipated.

The abyss returned to silence.

Zhou Chen sheathed his sword and lightly exhaled a breath of turbid Qi.

"Phew… I used a bit too much force."

He turned around and looked at Xue Yi, who was already completely petrified behind him.

At this moment, Xue Yi was looking at Zhou Chen as if he were a monster, his eyes filled with fear, worship, confusion, and a slight sense of his worldview collapsing.

Is this freaking Lin Dong?

Is this freaking that Big Brother Lin who was just afraid of death?

Slaying an Immortal Emperor's will with one sword strike?

Even if Xuantian Sect's Sect Master Ling Tian came, he wouldn't be able to do that, right?!

"Lin… Senior Lin…"

Xue Yi spoke tremulously, even his form of address had changed.

Zhou Chen walked up to him, and the domineering Aura on his face instantly vanished, returning to that smiling "schemer" appearance.

He reached out and patted Xue Yi's face, saying in a gentle tone:

"Brother Xue Yi, don't be so formal."

"That sword strike just now was an unparalleled blow I exchanged by burning five hundred years of Lifespan. This is your brother's final trump card; now your brother is truly drained."

"This matter, only the heavens, the earth, you, and I know. Do not tell anyone, do you understand?"

"Otherwise… I'll have to burn another five hundred years of Lifespan to give you a sword strike as well."

Xue Yi trembled all over and nodded his head like a woodpecker.

"I know! I know! Don't worry, Big Brother! My lips are sealed! Even if you beat me to death, I won't say a word!"

Zhou Chen nodded in satisfaction.

"That's more like it."

"Let's go, let's go home."

That was a strike from an Immortal Emperor!

"Big Brother Lin…"

Xue Yi's voice choked up, tears and snot smearing his face: "How is your injury? I have a Medicinal Pill here, a specially made Nine-Turn Soul-Returning Pill, hurry and take it!"

He hurriedly pulled out a pile of bottles and jars from his storage ring, wishing he could empty out his entire family fortune.

Zhou Chen clutched his chest, his face as pale as paper, his body still swaying slightly as if he would be blown over by the wind at any moment.

He waved his hand and pushed back the Medicinal Pill Xue Yi handed over.

"No need."

Zhou Chen's voice was as weak as a mosquito's hum: "I have injured my Origin and burned my Lifespan; ordinary Medicinal Pills are useless. Brother Xue Yi, as long as you are fine, this little injury of mine… *cough cough*… is nothing."

As he spoke, a trace of fresh blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth again.
