I paid the money!
Chapter 1569 I paid the money!
"Ouch..."
A shrill roar ripped through the sky, and a colossal demonic body, over a thousand feet tall, suddenly stood still nearby.
Those fierce eyes, bloodshot and piercing, locked onto Su Fan like a hawk eyeing its prey, and a deep, thunderous roar escaped his throat.
Its giant, fan-like hand suddenly swung out, and the dark demonic energy swirling around its fingertips instantly condensed into a twisted divine power, carrying an aura of world-destroying destruction, and roared towards Su Fan.
Wherever it passed, the air hissed as it corroded, and even the space itself rippled.
Su Fan frowned slightly, and his previously calm eyes suddenly turned icy.
He had no intention of meddling in other people's business; the survival of Chiyuanxu was nothing more than a passing cloud to him.
If he weren't afraid of delaying his journey home, he wouldn't care if everyone here died.
But these demonic cultivators were determined to kill him, pressing him relentlessly until he was forced to take action.
There was no other way; if the Red Plains Ruins were destroyed, the East Fence Inn would naturally be in danger as well.
Without the inn and its manager, he couldn't go home even if he wanted to.
What infuriated him most was that he had already paid money.
He spent almost all his savings, a total of 800,000 spirit crystals, to get that summons home.
If the shopkeeper dies, who will he ask to get back the 800,000 spirit crystals, and who will he ask to get a summons?
Therefore, the manager of Dongli Inn must protect him.
In the blink of an eye, the destructive divine power, shrouded in pitch-black demonic smoke, had already rushed towards them, and a thick stench and a deathly aura assaulted their senses.
Su Fan's expression remained unchanged. He raised his hand and waved it gently, and an invisible, immense power suddenly erupted, sweeping out like a monstrous wave, colliding violently with that divine power.
Without a deafening explosion, the divine power that was deadly in the eyes of cultivators of all races shattered and disintegrated like fragile glass before it even got close to Su Fan, turning into thin demonic energy that dissipated into the air.
Immediately afterwards, the invisible force, still in its momentum, continued to sweep forward like a raging torrent, slamming heavily onto the giant demonic cultivator's body, which was over a thousand feet tall.
"puff……"
With a dull thud, the demonic cultivator's massive body was struck as if by a massive hammer, and jet-black blood gushed out, splashing onto the ground with a sizzling, corrosive sound.
Its massive body flew backward uncontrollably, streaking across the sky like a kite with a broken string, and finally crashed heavily into the ruins of Chiyuanxu with a loud "boom," shaking the earth and filling the air with dust.
The demonic cultivator struggled to get up, but could only twist his body in vain, letting out painful and shrill howls, unable to get up for a while.
This scene completely froze all the cultivators present.
Whether it was the demon cultivators who were frantically slaughtering or the cultivators of various races who were fighting back desperately, they all subconsciously stopped what they were doing and turned their eyes to Su Fan.
The shock from before had not yet faded, and now a deep-seated awe had been added.
That was a genuine ninth-level demonic cultivator, yet Su Fan defeated him with a casual wave of his hand.
This level of power has exceeded their comprehension, like a god descending.
Su Fan did not stop. His eyes narrowed, and his cold gaze locked onto the demonic cultivator in the ruins.
He slowly raised his right hand and tapped it slightly with his fingertips.
Amidst the ruins, the demonic cultivator who had collapsed to the ground trembled violently, jolted as if struck by lightning.
Its eyes turned blood red at a visible speed, and its already ferocious face began to twist and deform.
Even more terrifying is that beneath its thick skin, it seems as if countless tiny worms are wriggling wildly.
Densely packed, rising and falling, they outlined a bizarre shape that sent chills down one's spine.
"Boom...boom..."
A series of ear-piercing tearing sounds rang out, as sharp as fingernails scraping against rotten wood, making one's teeth ache.
Immediately afterwards, one after another, hideous tentacles covered in black slime and barbed in barbs were forced out from the demonic cultivator's skin and flesh.
Each one was writhing wildly, as if it possessed its own consciousness.
The demonic cultivator's appearance changed drastically. His original features quickly melted away, leaving only a huge, ever-expanding mouth that almost took up his entire face.
The mouthpiece suddenly ripped open, revealing thousands upon thousands of rows of sharp, serrated fangs that gleamed with a chilling light.
The depths of the mouth were a bottomless blackness, as if it could swallow all light.
Thick, dark green liquid dripped continuously from the edge of the mouthparts, instantly corroding small pits on the ground, and a strong, nauseating stench filled the air.
Its enormous demonic body, over a thousand feet tall, twisted and turned wildly in the ruins, its limbs twitching uncontrollably, as if it were insane.
It let out inhuman roars, sharp and piercing, as if they could pierce through eardrums and go straight to the soul.
In the blink of an eye, this once invincible ninth-tier demonic cultivator was completely transformed into a terrifying and monstrous evil.
"Ouch..."
Another piercing scream rang out, and the monster sprang to its feet, its scarlet maw aimed at a fellow demonic cultivator not far away, and pounced on him madly.
Before the demonic cultivator of the same clan could react, before the ferocity on his face had faded, his enormous head was firmly bitten by the huge maw, and then with a sudden tug, it was swallowed whole.
"Crack...crack..."
The chilling chewing sounds echoed clearly throughout the venue, as sharp fangs clenched and pounded.
Crushed demonic bones and flesh scraps flowed continuously along the edges of the mouthparts, mixed with dark green mucus, creating an extremely gruesome scene.
The next second, the demonic cultivator whose head had been devoured suddenly exploded with a "bang," and glaring black blood gushed out like a fountain.
Accompanied by a flash of blood, countless grotesque tentacles, seemingly capable of extending infinitely, surged wildly from the ruptured wound, cascading down like a waterfall. Each tentacle was covered with tiny barbs and sticky mucus.
Even Su Fan, who was used to seeing all sorts of things, couldn't help but frown at this scene.
My stomach was churning, and waves of nausea surged through me.
This is absolutely disgusting.
The demonic cultivator whose upper body exploded was not only not dead, but the remaining half of his demonic body was undergoing violent changes at a visible speed.
Its skin quickly turned black and swelled, tentacles continued to grow, and in an instant it completely transformed into an evil and monstrous creature.
Next, the demonic cultivators, transformed into malevolent and bizarre beings, began to attack their fellow demons in the vicinity, and more and more demonic cultivators were infected and transformed.
The already chaotic Red Plains Ruins were plunged into an unprecedented state of chaos and terror.
As the infection spread, these grotesque demonic cultivators descended into a brutal infighting, tearing and devouring each other without restraint.
Dark demonic blood and shattered limbs splattered across the ruins, while wails and howls intertwined to create a symphony of despair.
This unbelievable scene left the surviving cultivators of various races in the Crimson Plains completely dumbfounded.
They all stopped attacking, their faces filled with bewilderment and astonishment, staring blankly as the demonic cultivators, who had once been united in hatred against a common enemy, now slaughtered each other.
No one dared to step forward rashly; they could only scramble to avoid being caught in the crossfire of the demonic cultivators' battle and lose their lives for no reason.
Su Fan stood with his hands behind his back in front of the Dongli Inn, expressionless as he surveyed the chaotic scene within the Crimson Plains Ruins. His gaze remained indifferent, as if all of this was none of his concern.
A moment later, he suddenly turned around and his gaze fell on the innkeeper behind him.
"You all return to the inn immediately..." Su Fan's voice was calm and composed, yet carried an undeniable authority.
Upon hearing this, the innkeeper dared not hesitate for a moment. He hurriedly called the shop assistants back to the inn and, at the same time, made hand seals to quickly activate the inn's defensive formation.
A pale golden light instantly enveloped the entire inn, isolating it from the chaos and danger of the outside world.
Seeing that the innkeeper and the others had safely taken refuge in the inn, Su Fan slowly raised his right hand. A dark golden lightning mark was faintly visible on his palm, radiating a subtle pressure.
His gaze swept across the boundary of the Crimson Plains Ruins and landed on the several great demon clones floating outside.
His gaze suddenly sharpened, and the "Evil-Suppressing Thunder Seal" within his body trembled slightly.
A flash of lightning appeared in his palm, and three lightning orbs, imbued with the power of violent thunder, slowly coalesced.
The lightning orb slowly rotated and grew larger within his palm, its purple, chaotic, and golden lightning intertwining and flashing, radiating a terrifying aura of destruction.
Su Fan knew that although the thousands of demonic cultivators in the Crimson Plains seemed unrestrained, their destructive power was ultimately limited.
However, the several avatars of the great demons from the upper realm outside were completely different. With a casual strike, they could wipe out the entire Crimson Plains Ruins.
Therefore, he had to activate the ancient forbidden thunder technique before these several demonic avatars from the upper realm could make their move, in order to seize the initiative.
This time, he condensed three lightning orbs in one go, hoping to severely injure those several avatars of the great demons from the upper realm in one fell swoop.
As Su Fan had expected, the chaos inside the Crimson Plains Ruins quickly attracted the attention of several demonic avatars outside.
The leading demonic avatar's crimson demonic eyes suddenly narrowed, and its terrifying divine sense swept across the entire area, instantly and accurately locking onto Su Fan, the instigator.
The next moment, a terrifying pressure, a hundred times stronger than that of the previous ninth-level demonic cultivator, suddenly descended, locking onto Su Fan as if the sky were collapsing and the earth were sinking, making the surrounding air thick as paste, and even the light seemed to be distorted.
Immediately afterwards, the demonic avatar suddenly raised its giant hand and grabbed fiercely in the direction where Su Fan was.
The pitch-black demonic energy gathered wildly, condensing into a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky in mid-air.
The giant hand was covered with hideous and twisted demonic runes, each rune exuding an aura of destruction and carrying a terrifying power that could crush everything and devour the world. It reached straight for Su Fan and Dongli Inn, as if it wanted to crush them both into dust.
With this grab, the space within the Crimson Ruins began to violently twist and collapse, with countless tiny spatial cracks spreading out like a spider web, emitting a piercing tearing sound.
Countless cultivators in the arena were enveloped by this terrifying power, their blood and qi surging uncontrollably. They all spat out a mouthful of blood, their auras instantly weakening, making it difficult for them to even stand. They could only collapse to the ground, their faces filled with despair.
At this moment, the old innkeeper, who was hiding inside the inn, was ashen-faced, and his legs were trembling slightly uncontrollably.
He knew in his heart that this was the wrath of a great demon from the upper realm, and such power was something they could not withstand.
Even Su Fan, who was outside the inn, would probably find it difficult to deal with.
However, Su Fan remained calm in the face of this devastating blow.
He looked up at the enormous, pitch-black hand that blotted out the sky, his eyes showing no fear whatsoever, not even a ripple of emotion.
Su Fan raised his right foot and stepped lightly into the void.
Immediately afterwards, he used "Void Lightning Escape," his figure transforming into a dazzling bolt of lightning, disappearing from the spot in an instant.
When Su Fan reappeared, he was already ten thousand meters in the air, facing the giant black hand from afar.
Without the slightest hesitation, he flung out the three lightning orbs that had already been formed in his palm.
In order to severely injure several avatars of powerful demons from the upper realms in one move, Su Fan held nothing back.
He unleashed all three ancient forbidden thunder techniques in one go: "Taiyin Guishui Chongyuan Dangpo Divine Thunder", "Taixiao Huadao Chaos Divine Thunder", and "Taiyi Dangpo Jisheng Hengtian Tribulation Thunder".
With three ancient forbidden thunder techniques unleashed simultaneously, that should be enough, right?
He had used these three forbidden techniques on the avatars of those great demons from the upper realm many times in the past, and each time he achieved excellent results, sometimes even killing those avatars directly.
The moment the lightning pearl left the body, the light in the world suddenly dimmed.
Immediately afterwards, three distinct yet equally terrifying bolts of lightning shot into the sky.
The first to erupt was the "Taiyin Guishui Chongyuan Dangpo Divine Thunder," where the purple thunder pearl exploded instantly, transforming into a boundless deep sea of purple lightning. Hundreds of millions of fine purple lightning bolts darted through it like snakes, carrying extremely cold water vapor.
Wherever it passed, the void was frozen into layers of ice patterns.
The purple lightning surged and swept towards the demon's clone, each drop of purple lightning containing terrifying power capable of tearing apart the soul.
Before they even got close, the demonic energy surrounding the several demonic clones began to hiss and was forcibly dissolved.
Almost simultaneously, the "Tai Xiao Hua Dao Chaotic Divine Thunder" erupted, and the chaotic-colored thunder pearl transformed into a chaotic thunder pillar that pierced through heaven and earth.
Within the pillar of lightning, black and white energies intertwined and swirled, evolving into a terrifying phenomenon akin to the creation of the world.
The chaotic lightning pillar ignored spatial distance and struck the leading demonic clone directly.
Wherever it passed, all matter was forcibly broken down into the most primitive energy. Even the pitch-black demonic energy could not withstand it and was directly annihilated into nothingness.
The final eruption of the "Taiyi Soul-Shattering Heaven-Shaking Tribulation Lightning" was even more terrifying. The golden lightning pearl transformed into an incomparably thick golden lightning pillar, surrounded by billions of golden divine lightning bolts, radiating a majestic heavenly might that suppressed all ages.
The avatar of the great demon from the upper realm, which was leading the way outside the Crimson Plains Ruins, instinctively sensed the danger and quickly withdrew its enormous, sky-covering hand.
Unfortunately, it was too late. With a deafening roar, three terrifying lightning pillars, carrying the terrifying power of a heavenly tribulation descending upon the world, crashed down from the sky and slammed down on the several demonic clones.
"Boom... Boom..."
Three ancient forbidden thunder techniques simultaneously struck several demonic clones, creating a deafening explosion that resounded throughout the universe. Terrifying shockwaves spread wildly in all directions from the point of impact.
The boundary barrier of Chiyuan Ruins collapsed instantly, countless rubble and dust were thrown into the air at a height of 10,000 meters, the earth undulated violently like waves, and even the earth veins 10,000 meters below were trembling wildly.
Several demonic clones let out deafening, shrill roars, and the leading demonic clone was struck head-on by the Chaos Lightning Pillar.
The massive demonic body was instantly torn open with a huge wound, and pitch-black demonic blood gushed out like a waterfall. The demonic flesh at the wound was constantly being decomposed by the power of chaos, making it impossible to heal.
The colossal hand that it condensed to blot out the sky shattered instantly like a fragile bubble under the combined attack of the three forces of thunder. Countless magical runes were forcibly erased, emitting a piercing wail.
The other demonic avatars fared even worse. Some were enveloped by the deep sea of purple lightning, their demonic bodies frozen into ice blocks. They were then forcibly torn apart by billions of purple lightning bolts, their dark demonic blood freezing into ice shards that scattered all over the ground.
Some were struck by golden divine lightning, their demonic bodies instantly covered with charred lightning marks. The lightning patterns penetrated deep into their marrow, constantly damaging their demonic bodies and souls, causing them to twist and struggle wildly, but they were unable to escape the erosion of the lightning.
The most terrifying thing is that the power of the three forbidden techniques does not exist in isolation, but is intertwined to form a thunderous array that covers the heavens and the earth.
Within the grand formation, purple, chaotic, and golden lightning collided and merged, evolving into an even more terrifying destructive force.
Several demonic avatars were trapped within the great formation, constantly being devoured and torn apart by the power of thunder.
"Ouch..."
The leading demon avatar roared in resentment, attempting to mobilize all its demonic energy to resist, only to find that the demonic energy was instantly swallowed up by the power of thunder as soon as it surged out.
Its demonic body shrank continuously under the bombardment of lightning, and for the first time, fear appeared in its scarlet demonic eyes.
It could clearly sense that its demonic body was being forcibly annihilated, and even its divine soul imprint was in danger of being completely erased.
