Chapter 351 - 229: True Monarch Erlang Prepares to Enter the Fray
CHAPTER 351: CHAPTER 229: TRUE MONARCH ERLANG PREPARES TO ENTER THE FRAY
"Do you guys even know what you’ve unleashed?"
Kuer laughed hideously, looking down at the Great Saint and the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao.
At this moment, he felt a boundless surge of power within himself, a gift from Beelzebub.
Forming a pact with Beelzebub, becoming its agent in the human world, came at a significant cost for Kuer.
Especially borrowing Beelzebub’s power required consuming many sacrifices.
As one of the Seven Sins Demon Gods, Beelzebub’s favorite thing is gluttony.
To borrow its power, one must offer Beelzebub corresponding food, flesh, soul, everything!
If Beelzebub isn’t sated, the backlash will fall on Kuer himself.
Looking at the puny Great Saint, Kuer swung a mass of tentacles and smashed them toward the main building of the graveyard, intending to directly destroy Sun Yan’s residence.
The main building of the graveyard is the crucial center, where most of Sun Yan’s foundations lie, including the divine statue of the Tomb Guardian.
If it’s destroyed by Kuer, the three Tomb Guardians would be finished, shamed beyond recovery.
"Impudence!"
The True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao shouted loudly, patting the Mountain-Cracking Axe hanging at his waist.
The Mountain-Cracking Axe was grasped in his hand, swung toward Kuer.
In an instant, an axe light shot out, slicing countless tentacles, which fell to the ground like rain.
"I preside here, how can I let you act so wantonly? Demons must be slain."
The True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao crossed his arms, slowly ascending, his white robe fluttering in the wind, exuding an indescribable heroic and divine aura.
Search the mountains to quell demons and pacify Kyushu, patrol the seas and rivers, Yang Erlang.
"There’s also a divine artifact?"
Kuer saw that the Mountain-Cracking Axe of the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao was so sharp, even Beelzebub’s power couldn’t withstand it, and his eyes shone brightly, greed surging in his heart.
If he could kill the other party and obtain this divine artifact, his voice in the Evil God Council would be greatly enhanced.
At the next Evil God Council’s meeting, he could vie for more interests.
Greed occupied his mind, causing Kuer to immediately rush toward the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao, his fly-like head on his abdomen spewing a large cloud of yellow mist.
Within the mist, the buzzing sound of flies made one feel creepy upon hearing it.
A swarm of flies gathered into a sky-covering black cloud, enveloping the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao.
These flies are the manifestation of Beelzebub’s power, representing plague and disease.
Contact for just a second would cause an ordinary person to fall seriously ill, vomiting, and diarrhea, perhaps even facing life-threatening danger.
"Petty tricks."
The True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao stretched out his right hand, now holding a Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade. With a mighty swing in the air: "Break!"
Crackle! Crackle! Crackle! Crackle!
Countless flies shattered under this slash, the yellow mist dissipated, revealing Kuer hidden within.
Under the gaze of the Celestial Eye on the True Monarch’s brow, Kuer shuddered, an inexplicable sense of foreboding washing over him.
Who exactly is he? Why does he bring such a great sense of oppression?
Why does Saint Anna City harbor such individuals?
But the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao gave him no time to ponder.
His existence is dedicated to slaying those damned demons, even the demons from Hell, on his turf.
They must die!
A golden divine light shot from the True Monarch’s brow, striking Kuer, making him feel his body paralyze instantly.
Then the Mountain-Cracking Axe in the True Monarch’s hand grew larger, finally transforming into a small mountain, slashing toward Kuer.
With no resistance, when the axe struck Kuer’s head, it directly split his body completely in half.
The foul-smelling sewage gushed from Kuer’s body, soaking the graveyard’s soil, causing plants to wilt instantly, unable to withstand the demon’s blood.
"No! No! Mr. Speaker! Master Beelzebub! Save me, save me!"
Kuer’s remaining half face howled in fear, as his body dissolved, gradually turning into a pool of blood.
A Hexagram Array suddenly lit up in his mind, then this Hexagram Array seemed to open a passageway between reality and somewhere else.
Flames and black smoke wafted out from it, along with an extremely terrifying aura.
"Who is it? Who dares to kill my envoy!"
A roar echoed from the Hexagram Array, and then a gigantic head as big as a mountain slowly emerged, attempting to inspect this human-inhabited world.
"This monster is not simple." The Monkey King, shouldering his Ruyi Golden Cudgel, couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.
Compared to the people before, the being emerging from this Hexagram Array was simply far superior.
Amidst the fire and smoke, a gigantic head crawled out from the Hexagram Array, even just the head was larger in size than Kuer’s entirely demonized form.
Those giant eyes were as big as houses, with the body covered in fly-like little demons, seemingly ready to bring the most terrible disaster to this world.
"Three Eyes, this monster is not simple, at least it’s a great demon." The Monkey King rested the Ruyi Golden Cudgel behind his neck, speaking with his hands resting on the cudgel.
"No matter, I shall go and exterminate the demon." True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao said calmly, wielding the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade and charged out.
At that moment, the sky above the graveyard dimmed, turning dark and lightless.
Only the Celestial Eye at True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao’s brow shone brightly, becoming the sole source of light.
He carried a war god-like aura, suppressing the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade downwards, thrusting it at the demon head emerging from the Hexagram.
"It’s Beelzebub!"
In the main house, Ailanda exclaimed in shock, forgetting to even drink her coffee.
Anyone witnessing that terrifying aura would never believe it to be just an ordinary demon.
As someone who had contact with the Evil God Council, Ailanda clearly knew what it was, precisely the King of Hell, Beelzebub.
That meant the Hexagram Array connected the human world and Hell, linking the two worlds.
Only the most powerful demon in Hell could achieve this.
Seeing True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao charging at Beelzebub, Ailanda felt a tinge of worry in her heart.
Pssh!
Everything happened in just an instant, as True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao’s Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade had already pierced Beelzebub’s face.
The sharp spear blade directly smashed the demon’s head apart, and then continued downward, with nothing able to obstruct the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade at any point.
"Scatter."
At the moment of landing, Beelzebub’s body was cleaved with a long gash from head to tail, and True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao held his sword fingers to his chest, calmly and serenely spoke.
Boom!
In an instant, Samadhi True Flame erupted from Beelzebub’s body, devouring him, engulfed in fierce flames.
"Ahhhhh!!!!" With cries of agony, Beelzebub halted his action of crawling out from the Hexagram Array, rolling back without any resistance.
Amidst the roars, the Hexagram Array slowly dissipated, and everything returned to normal.
...
More than ten miles away from the graveyard.
Madam Nie stood on the ridge, holding a stick of incense, her face solemn.
"Kuer and his demon both failed; this person’s strength has exceeded my expectations. Even if I go there, I would not be his match. This is troublesome. I must report this to Master Li."
Just as Madam Nie was about to turn and leave, she found herself bumping into someone.
She was instantly startled, how could she not notice someone standing right behind her?
Upon seeing who it was, Madam Nie hurriedly knelt down, with utmost devotion, she said: "Greetings, Master Li."
"I already know everything. That young man is not simple, probably related to the Grand Sacrificial Society. In his graveyard, there exists a true Immortal; it’s natural Beelzebub is no match. This time, to take back Yang Shengsi, we can only ally with that fellow, Keynes."
Madam Nie exclaimed: "Master Li, you mean with the Third Speaker! How will the benefits be divided."
"No matter, he only knows Yang Shengsi’s secret, but not what truly matters about Yang Shengsi. Yang Shengsi’s longevity has nothing to do with him. The powerful one is only Master Xu, and what I want is to make Master Xu appear. I want to see him again face to face. As for Yang Shengsi, Keynes can have him."
Li Mian, with his aged gaze, looked towards the direction of Gospel Town Cemetery and said softly, "It’s been a long time since I last saw members of the Grand Sacrificial Society. Those persistent fellows have appeared again, really troublesome. What exactly is the Grand Sacrificial Society, to make even Master Xu wary?"
