CHAPTER 342: CHAPTER 312: SPELL DUEL, HUMAN SKIN DEVOURING

Inside the Imperial City.

The scent of incense gathered like clouds, ethereal and illusory, with seven封地 wrapped around astonishing pillars of energy, recklessly exuding the aura of the "Immortal."

A group of Golden Decree Divine Spirits, radiant like the sun, emitted high-level pressure without restraint. Upon hearing Chu Yi’s arrogant words, most of them revealed a bit of disdain and ridicule, only a few showed vigilance.

"Seven Immortal Gods are stationed here, is this outlander so arrogant?"

"This brat is young and reckless. In terms of spellcraft and experience, how could he compare to us, the sealed Divine Spirits? Just seeking attention. If he has the skill, let him come break the grand array we arranged!"

"Hmph, thinking to use us as fodder for cultivation, simply wishful thinking!"

"Ignorant youngster, what a boastful tongue you have, even the Celestial Slayer Demon Immortal who annihilated doctrines a thousand years ago, dared not speak such harsh words!"

"..."

The Golden Decree Divine Spirits, having been sealed for long, already considered themselves everlasting beings, proud and arrogant, being heroes in their lifetime.

In the future, under Wei Wuyang’s national policy, they could eternally enjoy incense offerings, another form of eternal life.

They provoked, insulted, berated, with frenzied expressions and grim faces, naturally to slay Chu Yi and other outlander Celestial Demons, to eliminate the enemies sooner, to enjoy future privileges sooner.

No matter what kind of outlander Celestial Demon, or whether it’s righteous forces, or princes and aristocrats, even their own offspring left behind, if they dared to block the path, they were enemies.

The same thought applied to the seven Immortal Gods.

"If we delay, things might change. Gentlemen, we have entered the Immortal Path, let us strike together to suppress and kill the thief."

The Demon Infant, his eyes turned, was the first to speak. Clasping his hands, an eerie aura lingered around, creating a bloodless paper figure.

With a light breath, the paper figure came to life immediately, its form shifting, turning into the likeness of Chu Yi himself.

Staring at the handsome paper figure, the Demon Infant revealed a look of disgust.

Before stepping onto the path of cultivation, he was an ugly dwarf, humiliated and bullied. Upon reaching adulthood, his childhood sweetheart with whom he had an arranged marriage was deceived by a sweet-talking rich playboy.

Though he eventually skinned the playboy and wore his skin, lying with the now-wedded childhood sweetheart and her daughter, using them as cultivation material afterward.

But as a result, he despised handsome men, often wearing their skins to deceive virtuous women, greatly enjoying it, and creating hundreds of tragic incidents.

"This skin is indeed superb, saving me the trouble of searching in the future."

Even for the Demon Infant, who was accustomed to seeing handsome men, Chu Yi’s appearance was praiseworthy.

He reached out with his right hand, a short knife as thick as a child’s arm in his grasp, haunted by eerie spirits, forged by the deaths of countless innocents, creating this deadly weapon.

"Hehe, outlander, it’s cold, let me borrow your new clothes."

On the other side.

As Chu Yi was about to figure out how to crush the enemy, a chilling sense of dread sprouted in him. His entire skin subtly wriggled, body trembling, as if trying to escape the flesh and leave him.

Oh, want my skin?

Chu Yi, contemplating how to lower the opponent’s guard for an ambush, sees this as someone volunteering.

Immediately.

In full public gaze.

"Despicable, how dare you sneak attack!"

The outlander adept who declared a challenge to the Immortals screamed, blood gushing from his body, with threads of blood wriggling, accompanied by a tearing sound. The skin slid off like soft tofu, effortlessly detaching from his body, floating toward the paper figure.

The demons were shaken, the Immortals stunned.

Huh?

Just like this?

The young Nanaki, ready to witness Brother Chu Yi’s display of might, caught amidst the astonished and stunned expressions of the Enchanting Demon Guards, involuntarily showed some embarrassed anger on her cute face.

What difference is this from slapping her in the face!

She glanced at Chu Yi, his whole skin stripped, muscle red and flesh visible, his crimson muscles, white jade-like bones exposed, blood flowing, it looked painful.

A voice transmission came through.

"It’s bad, Princess, run quickly, my bloodline power is ineffective. I need a Radiant Moon level material, preferably of the Soul type, to activate it."

Nanaki: "..."

Chu Yi, regardless of the casualties in the demon army, seized the opportunity to extort from Nanaki.

The achievements belong to the Enchanting Demon Royal Court, only extorted resources are truly his own.

However, he wasn’t excessive, just casually mentioned it, what if she really gives?

White Bone Palace.

The young girl in a black dress was silent for a moment, responded:

"Brother Chu Yi, why does it feel like you resemble the King of Black Robes so much? Both are that... bastardly."

"Ah, who is the King of Black Robes?"

"Chu—Yi—"

Nanaki couldn’t hold it back, her words dripping with sarcasm:

"With Royal Court’s means, investigating someone’s background is overly simple."

"Actually, Nanaki always admired Brother Chu Yi, you wouldn’t let Nanaki down, right?"

"After the test, there’ll be a special reward for you, and the Royal Treasury will be opened for you."

Having secured a promise of reward afterward, Chu Yi smiled slightly.

One dares to ask, the other dares to give, how refreshing!

Their transmission exchange was fast, like a fleeting instant.

Seeing Chu Yi as weak and easy to bully, the Immortal side immediately took action.

Boom!

Spells sliced through the sky like a meteor shower under the night, furiously bombarding.

Even the Demon Infant hadn’t anticipated that merely casting a shedding curse could so easily take the enemy’s skin.

Even if it’s an act, how could he lose even his skin!?

"Something feels wrong, destroy this skin."

The Demon Infant, a formidable Demon Path Giant, chanted cautiously, and Chu Yi’s flying skin suddenly ignited with a ghastly green flame.

Cremation Curse!

But the bizarre thing was, this still-blood-seeped skin was unharmed, instead it expanded rapidly, shadows moving, pulling out a covering dark cloud, rushing towards the Demon Infant.

Too fast!

"What!"

The Demon Infant sensed danger, ready to burrow and escape, but this skin turned into tangible darkness, sticky like ink, surrounded by Chu Yi’s crazed laughter, enveloped in darkness.

In the endless darkness, rustling sounds like silkworms chewing leaves, or ants swarming, the eerie consumption seemed to devour his whole skin, while the physical body remained intact.

"My Immortal Body... my Mana... save, save me... State Preceptor!"

Trying to utter something, the short knife slips from his grasp, struggling desperately, reaching outside the darkness.

But all efforts were in vain, as his entirety, including his newly entered Immortal Realm Dao Body, were devoured by the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, his soul entirely consumed.

Unless the soul’s strength reaches Radiant Moon level, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner would instantly kill. This is the result of refining the entire Underworld.

"Hehehehe, dared to strip my skin, now pay with your life!"

Chu Yi no longer feigned. The blood and flesh transformed, his horrifying form borne a new perfect skin, restoring his handsome, gentle, jade-like gentlemanly appearance, but with a terrifying madness on his face.

Confronted by a rain of intertwined spells and rainbow-like spectacular kills, he brandished the Demon Halberd of Eight Desolations with one hand, striking countless halberd lights.

The blood-colored halberd light illuminated the sky, expelling a mountain of corpses with flowing scarlet blood, the endless strangeness once parasitized in the Blood Ladder, defeated by Chu Yi, charging forth, filling the hills and fields, clashing with the spells.

Having refined the Blood Throne, these strange beings naturally became Chu Yi’s minions, but it consumed Human King’s Blood to activate, while also ignoring some suppression from the Divine Spirit Dojo.

Boom!

The forces, like embattled armies, collided fiercely on the bone-strewn battlefield, splashing up sky-high crimson light.

"This fiend’s mana is profound, all of you assist me in slaying the demon and purging the evil!"

Seeing the one-time tyrant Demon Infant fell carelessly, without displaying even half of his strength, eaten by the opponent’s "skin," the Demon Ape True Man was the first to act.
