Chapter 366: Take My Haotian Mirror! (Bonus Chapter 24 for Average Subscriptions)

On the sofas of the internet cafe's lounge, Mo Tianxing could be seen chewing on spicy gluten strips, while several cultivators from Half-City were arguing until their faces turned red over whether "Zhu Xian" or "Shushan" was more badass.

Just then, a voice suddenly echoed from outside the door: "Where is the Old Demon Youquan?! Roll out here for this venerable one immediately!"

"Old Demon Youquan?"

"Roll out?"

Everyone exchanged bewildered glances.

"How is Old Demon Youquan supposed to roll out?"

"There are actually people like this? Have they gone stupid from watching movies?"

Stepping outside to look, they beheld a colossally hideous demonic face trailing a mountain-like expanse of dark clouds behind it, looking as though it were about to drag the entire sky down.

Across the whole of Half-City, sand and stones flew as yin winds blew in gusts; the already gloomy city now seemed to have completely fallen into a realm of ghosts!

"This is..."

"A demon has emerged?!"

"It's a demon!"

"Why didn't this demon go attack the Nanhua Sect? Or the Haoran Sect? Why did it have to come to our Half-City?!"

And this was no newborn fiend; judging by this appearance, it was absolutely an extremely rare, immensely powerful grand demon!

A demon of this caliber was absolutely not something that could be resisted by human strength alone.

Countless cultivators of Half-City scrambled to flee upon witnessing this scene, as if terrified that this horrific calamity would descend upon their own heads.

Some cultivators were even sent turning over and falling like horses under its gentle breath!

Beholding such a scene, it finally revealed a slight look of satisfaction: "Still not going to summon your master? Otherwise, this venerable one will tear down its old nest!"

"May I ask... what honorable business brings your esteemed presence here?" Just then, an extremely dominant aura manifested from the inner city, followed by the appearance of a purple-robed old man wearing a purple-gold crown and dressed in extremely luxurious attire, suspended high in the sky.

"That's..."

"The Reincarnation King!"

The cultivators of Half-City felt a surge of joy; one must know that this purple-robed old man's cultivation had reached the late stage of the Divine Sea Realm countless years ago, and he was likely a powerhouse of the Divine Court Realm by now!

"The one this seat is looking for is not you, begone!" The endless calamity clouds in the sky suddenly transformed into a giant claw like that of a demon god, which casually swept out like shooing a fly; before this purple-robed old man could even react, he was swatted flying exactly like a fly!

All the cultivators of Half-City who had just shown joy on their faces: "..."

"Flee quickly!"

Cries of terror and angry curses erupted as the entire city instantly fell into chaotic turmoil.

Meanwhile, in front of the Origin Internet Club.

A large group of cultivators had all come out of the shop door, staring up at the spectacle in the sky with expressions of horror.

Duan Yue was also standing outside the door at this moment, holding a translucent disc in his hands as he said in horror: "To think this demon is actually so tyrannical, even a powerhouse of the Divine Court Realm isn't worth a single exchange of blows from him!?"

"Not good!" Mo Tianxing's expression changed drastically, "It's looking this way!"

The giant demonic hand in the sky was seen clawing toward the group, and the crowd of cultivators in front of the shop found to their horror that they were completely unable to move at this moment!

It was as though an invisible force was suppressing everyone; in this instant, even if their cultivations were as high as the Divine Sea Realm—and their current strength was already much higher than ordinary Divine Sea Realms—they actually had to allow themselves to be slaughtered by this demon!

Without the slightest shred of ability to resist!

This was the power of a demon, born with the ability to discern the rules of heaven and earth, completely standing above all living things!

As that massive arm swept across, several cultivators were already caught in its grasp.

Those eyes suspended high in the sky, resembling two giant blood moons, stared intently at the few cultivators in its hand: "Your bodies are tainted with the aura of my race, speak! Where is that old fellow Youquan hiding?! Could it be he dares not come out to face his own kin?!"

Everyone had originally wanted to explain in hopes of seeking a chance to survive, but upon hearing these words, they suddenly became dumbfounded, looking at one another; how the hell were they supposed to answer this?!

"No answer?" The terrifying face in the sky gave a sinister, cold laugh, "Useless trash, go and die for me then!"

The giant demonic claw began to exert force, and very soon the bodies of the several cultivators became like balloons about to be flattened, looking as if they would be popped in the next instant!

"Guild Master!" Mo Tianxing could hardly bear to watch any longer.

Yet Fang Qi made no move at all, instead fixing his gaze upon the cultivators gripped by the giant claw.

"You motherfucker!" Among the cultivators gripped by the giant claw, a grey-robed cultivator suddenly burst into a raging curse toward the hideous head in the sky, "If you're going to play us, don't play us like this! There is no Old Demon Youquan! Do you want the Haotian Mirror instead?!"

"Behold my Haotian Mirror!" The enraged Duan Yue could no longer care whether his cultivation was sufficient or not, pouring all the spiritual essence in his body into this translucent round mirror!

Within the surface of the mirror, golden clouds flowed, and there seemed to be shifting winds, clouds, water, and fire, as a misty clear light beamed out from the mirror!

In almost the blink of an eye, the spiritual essence within Duan Yue's body was completely drained: "Quick! Lend me a hand if you want to escape!"

Immediately after, quite a few cultivators beside him hurriedly channeled their spiritual essence into his body!

First the palm, and then the clear light expanded, actually illuminating the entire arm and even the giant demonic face in the sky.

"What kind of thing is this?!"

That massive, hideous face in the sky turned its head to look over, only to see a beam of clear light shining upon its cheek.

At first, it only felt that this clear light made it somewhat uncomfortable, but just as it wanted to move its head away, it suddenly discovered that it was as though its very soul was fixed within this clear light, unable to muster the slightest bit of strength to turn its head away!

In the sky, that giant demonic face illuminated by the clear light roared in absolute terror; for thousands of years, it had never encountered such a situation!

A grand demon born with the ability to discern the laws of heaven and earth, capable of causing a catastrophe in the cultivation world at birth, was actually pinned down by an unremarkable Dharma treasure and could not escape!

What terrified it even more was that it gradually felt a tearing pain in the illuminated areas, as if its arm and head were being ripped apart by an invisible force, turning into countless bits of flesh and blood, and even its soul was being torn apart!

This extreme agony caused it to helplessly begin howling in misery!

"Come quickly, someone! Add more strength!" The cultivators who were just channeling spiritual essence to Duan Yue only felt an extremely terrifying suction force, like a bottomless pit; the spiritual essence within nearly ten Divine Sea Realm cultivators was drained in an instant!

Several Divine Sea Realm artifact masters brought over by Duan Yue also hurriedly joined the ranks of channeling spiritual essence.

The clear light that had already begun to dissipate grew intensely powerful once more!

"What on earth is this?!" Bursts of panicked roars resounded from within the clear light, as the grand demon that had been utterly insufferable just moments ago was actually decomposing into clumps of flesh and blood under this beam of clear light.

Endless panic was laced within that voice; clearly, this was the first time it had ever conceived such an emotion!

Its body struggled frantically, its terrifyingly immense strength stirring up bursts of hurricanes that caused the earth to tremble, and the sky seemed to crack open along with it!

That patch of clear light flickered brightly and dimly, as if showing signs of being unable to suppress this demon.

"Everyone join in! Don't let it escape!" Duan Yue roared.

Clearly, most cultivators would not wish to see such a demon running rampant before their eyes; they still understood the principle that when the city gate catches fire, the fish in the moat suffer.

Moreover, all they needed to do was simply channel some spiritual essence into the Dharma treasure before them.

Very soon, in front of the Origin Internet Club, a thousand cultivators all joined the ranks of channeling spiritual essence!

Within the round mirror in front of Duan Yue, the clear light grew even more radiant, and this time, it completely enveloped its entire body!

The demon enveloped by the clear light struggled even more violently!

"How is this possible?! Old Demon Youquan, just what kind of power did you give to this group of cultivators?!" It cried out in terror, "Do you no longer even want your own life?!"

"Where the hell is there an Old Demon Youquan?!" Duan Yue barked in abuse, "Even Old Demon Youquan is no match for the might of the Haotian Mirror, you old ghost, you better stop crying out!"

"What?!"

"This is impossible! Since when could the strength of you humans pose a threat to my kin?! This is absolutely impossible!" it shrieked in sheer terror.

"You old fiend, you've been cowering in your shell for a thousand years; it's high time you were shown the world!" Beholding the spectacle before her, Ningbi laughed so hard she rocked back and forth, sipping her cola all the while. "Hahahahahahahaha... hic!"

"Uh..." She hastily covered her sweet lips in embarrassment.

At that very instant, a crisp crack echoed as a minute fissure spread across the mirror's surface.

Seizing the moment, the infuriated demon threw back its head and roared, before violently slamming its brow straight into the glass!

Boom! The entire Haotian Mirror shattered violently into pieces at that exact second!

Countless cultivators spat blood as they were hurled backward, and the great demon took the chance to break free into the heavens!

"Hahahahaha!" Within the dark, roiling clouds, a silhouette burst into wild laughter. "This deity has escaped after all! Now, every last one of you ants shall perish!"

"What did you say?!" Innumerable cultivators closed in around it. Yet, these cultivators loomed like giants, suspended before its eyes like a range of colossal mountains!

And the demon before them was now merely the size of their palm.

"What is the meaning of this?!"

Then, as if suddenly realizing something.

"Where is my demonic visage?!" In an instant, it looked down at itself, leaving behind nothing but a solitary, panicked shriek.
