Chapter 68 Exorcising Demons
Wu Yishu's voice came from the White Tiger Spirit Boat, clear and crisp: "Everyone, exorcise the demon!"
Meng Nanyi simultaneously ordered, "Disciples of Xuanwu Palace, make your move!"
The inner disciples and true disciples on the six spirit boats flew out together, each using their own methods to attack Qiyun Mountain below. In an instant, sword light, blade light, cold air, water light, and flames intertwined, dyeing the entire sky with a colorful array of colors.
The disciples of the White Tiger Palace are almost all armed with swords and are known for their ruthless killing. Their sword flashes and energy cascade down like a waterfall, cutting the oncoming demons into pieces.
The disciples of Xuanwu Palace primarily used water and cold air, with ice spikes raining down and water dragons churning, freezing and tearing apart the demonic energy.
The disciples of the Heavenly Demon Palace were not to be outdone, and released all sorts of demons to meet them.
The Electric Demon was wreathed in blue arcs of electricity, moving with lightning speed; the Flood Dragon Demon was serpentine in form, its scales hardened, spewing poisonous mist from its mouth; the Blood Mist Demon transformed into a cloud of crimson mist, withering vegetation wherever it passed; the Skeleton Demon, wielding a bone knife and shield, charged fearlessly at the forefront; the Ghost-Faced Demon's face shifted constantly, emitting piercing screams that disturbed the mind; the Soul-Snatching Demon was formless and intangible, specializing in attacking souls, making it impossible to defend against…
Some disciples of the Heavenly Demon Palace merged the demonic head into their own bodies, instantly becoming demonic. Their bodies swelled and twisted, some grew scales and claws, some sprouted bone wings on their backs, and some became as ferocious as ghosts.
After being corrupted, the disciples of the Demon Palace became incredibly powerful, their physical bodies were extremely strong, and their demonic energy transformed into sword light, claw marks, and ghost fire, bombarding the disciples of both palaces in an overwhelming manner.
Gu Changyuan floated down from the spirit boat, his figure like a falling leaf, unhurried and unhurried. Countless dark lights appeared around him, connecting head to tail, transforming into a rotating vortex.
A sword light formed from demonic energy slashed from the side with a piercing shriek. Gu Changyuan did not dodge. The sword light was shattered the moment it touched the vortex, without even causing a ripple.
Another demonic ghost pounced from below, its face twisted and distorted, letting out a shrill scream. Gu Changyuan clenched his fist, and the power in the void suddenly twisted. The demonic ghost's scream stopped abruptly, and its body was twisted into a ball by an invisible force in the void, like a rag being held in someone's hand. After letting out a mournful cry, it exploded into pieces.
Gu Changyuan landed on a cliff in Qiyun Mountain, surrounded by deafening battle cries and rampant demonic energy.
Instead of following Meng Nanyi's instructions to quickly reunite with the Xuanwu Palace disciples, Gu Changyuan walked forward on his own, his gaze sweeping across the battlefield, searching for his opponent.
Not far away, a demonic cultivator who had merged with the Heavenly Demon was wreaking havoc on all sides.
This person was over ten feet tall, with bulging muscles all over his body, his skin covered with jet-black scales, his hands transformed into huge claws, and a pair of bone wings sprouted from his back, which spread out to a full two feet. His eyes were blood-red, and he was panting heavily.
Upon seeing Gu Changyuan, the demonic cultivator burst into laughter, his hideous, demonized face contorted in a terrifying grimace.
"You little brat from the Yellow Heaven Sect, how dare you run around alone? You're asking for death!"
The demonic cultivator's figure instantly shifted from stillness to motion with astonishing speed. Demonic energy coiled around his claws like snakes as he slapped one down at Gu Changyuan.
A ghostly light flickered around Gu Changyuan, and with a twisting motion, he dodged the claw in an almost eerie manner, as if something had pulled him away from where he stood.
The sharp claws swept past Gu Changyuan's side, tearing a deep trench in the ground with their force, sending pebbles flying.
The demonic cultivator missed his first attack and was about to change his move when Gu Changyuan's five fingers clenched tightly.
The demonic cultivator let out a scream as his right arm twisted like a pretzel with a series of cracking sounds, bones shattering and muscles tearing apart.
With a tearing sound, the demonic cultivator's right arm twisted into a ball, ripped off his shoulder, and fell to the ground, still twitching slightly.
Blood gushed from the cut, staining the ground a dark red.
The demonic cultivator screamed and fell to the ground, howling and rolling around incessantly. His demonic form became unstable after losing his right arm, his scales fell off, his bone wings withered, and his body gradually shrank.
Gu Changyuan looked at the wailing demonic cultivator and walked straight up to him. At that moment, the demonic cultivator, who was still roaring, suddenly sprang up, his left hand's five fingers contracted like a spear, and with all his power and resentment, he pierced towards Gu Changyuan's heart.
The demonic cultivator's eyes were filled with killing intent and smugness. He and Gu Changyuan were at roughly the same cultivation level, both at the Dao Embryo Realm. His attack had gathered all the power of the Giant Mountain Demon, and at this distance, it could definitely tear this weak Yellow Heaven Sect disciple to shreds.

A crisp sound of bone cracking rang out.
The demonic cultivator's left arm, which had pierced through him, was snapped off. The broken bone, carrying even greater speed and power than before, pierced back into the demonic cultivator's own chest, the arm entering through his chest and exiting through his back.
Blood and bits of flesh gushed from the wound, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground behind the demonic cultivator.
The demonic cultivator spat out a mouthful of blood, his face filled with shock. He didn't understand why this was happening, why his arm was broken, and why his broken arm was attacking him instead.
Gu Changyuan naturally ignored the doubts of a dead man. With a flick of his finger, the severed arm that had pierced the demonic cultivator's chest suddenly exploded, and countless bone fragments pierced into the demonic cultivator's internal organs, causing his chest cavity to bulge high.
The demonic cultivator's eyes widened, he let out a muffled gasp, and then he breathed his last.
Gu Changyuan looked down at the corpse in front of him and stepped on the person's chest.
A flash of eerie light appeared around him, and the demonic energy within the demon cultivator surged like a tide, transforming into a pitch-black torrent that poured out from the seven orifices of the corpse and into Gu Changyuan's body.
Within the Great Ruins, the endless darkness receded, transforming into layers of flowing water, like a calm lake, its surface shimmering and reflecting the void of the dome.
In the northwest corner of this lake, demonic energy poured in, transforming into a surging black mist that churned endlessly. Within it, a colossal mountain demon, its body pitch black and its form as large as a mountain, was faintly visible, sleeping in the black mist, its breath releasing dense demonic energy.
Gu Changyuan closed his eyes, sensing the changes within the Great Ruins. Demonic energy surged forth from the Great Ruins, pouring into his body. The Giant Mountain Demon entered his body, causing Gu Changyuan's figure to swell. His originally slender and well-proportioned body suddenly grew taller and thicker, his muscles bulging like iron, and faint black lines appeared on his skin, making him look like a giant standing tall and firm.
After flexing his fingers, Gu Changyuan felt the surge of physical power in his body, and a smile appeared on his slightly ferocious face.
This is the true power of the "Black Emperor's Great Ruins Book": all external forces are food for the cultivators of this heavenly technique, forces that can be devoured and mastered.
The opponent's supernatural powers will be devoured, the opponent's attacks will be reversed, and the opponent's power will be absorbed by the Great Ruins and become part of oneself.
