Chapter 421 Devouring an Eighth-Order Demon!

"Roar!"

Catherine, transformed into a six-armed demon, roared and swung her six bladed arms wildly, forcing the eighth-tier three-eyed ancient demon in front of her to retreat steadily.

Amidst the chaotic flashing of blades, numerous bleeding wounds quickly appeared on the three-eyed ancient demon's body.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, the three-eyed ancient demon flapped its demonic wings, accelerated its retreat, and increased the distance between itself and Catherine. Then, a beam of blood-red light shot out from the third eye between its eyebrows, striking Catherine almost instantly.

Immediately afterwards, the scales on Catherine's body broke open, and countless blood-stained crimson vines grew from her flesh, quickly binding her hands and feet tightly!

This is the eye technique of the Three-Eyed Ancient Demon Clan—Blood Vine Binding!

"Roar!!!"

Catherine couldn't help but let out a piercing wail.

"Hey!"

Upon seeing this, the Three-Eyed Ancient Demon was overjoyed and immediately flapped its wings and rushed forward, slashing at Catherine's head with its claws, attempting to press its advantage.

But it overlooked one thing.

— Catherine was never fighting alone from beginning to end.

"boom!"

Just before the Three-Eyed Ancient Demon's claws were about to grab Catherine, a meteorite burning with purplish-black demonic flames crashed into it from the side, sending the Three-Eyed Ancient Demon flying thousands of meters before crashing heavily into a distant mountain peak.

With a deafening roar, the mountain peak was smashed down by the three-eyed ancient demon, sending up clouds of dust.

It's Elena's eighth-order Meteor Spell!

“Catherine, let me help you remove the vines.”

Elena flapped her succubus wings and quickly flew to Catherine's side. Then, she cast a spell with both hands, conjuring a pink light that shone on Catherine.

The blood vines that bound Catherine melted away as quickly as winter snow meeting the warm sun, and soon disappeared completely.

Meanwhile, Catherine's injuries were healing at a visible speed, completely healed in just a few breaths, and even the broken scales grew back.

"Roar!"

Catherine, now able to move again, roared and brandished her six bladed arms. Her body erupted with dark golden light, transforming into a streak of dark golden light as she rapidly flew towards the distant mountain ruins, heading once more to attack the three-eyed ancient demon there!

At this moment, the three-eyed ancient demon had just taken a real hit from Elena's eighth-order meteor spell and was now severely injured, its body covered in blood and gore.

Faced with Catherine, who had recovered from her injuries and was now enraged, the three-eyed ancient demon was powerless to fight back and was quickly and completely defeated.

"boom!"

Catherine's right foot pressed firmly against the head of the three-eyed ancient demon, shattering the ground within a radius of hundreds of meters.

Then, she turned her head and shouted towards the horizon, "Master! Elena! You can begin devouring!"

"understand!"

Qi Lin, now in his demon form, flew in from the horizon, flapping his four blood-flame wings and rapidly approaching the area.

At the same time, Elena transformed into a pink streak of light and entered Qi Lin's body, merging with him to complete the demonic possession!

Qi Lin then temporarily transferred control of his body to Elena so that she could help him complete the devouring of the eighth-order demon.

"Buzz!"

Irena manipulated Qi Lin's body and magic, quickly condensing a purple vortex in her right palm. She then flew to Catherine's feet and pressed the purple vortex directly onto the three-eyed ancient demon.

"no no!!!"

The three-eyed ancient demon howled helplessly.

However, a few seconds later, under the effect of Elena's Demon Devouring Technique, it was still drawn into the purple vortex. Its flesh, magic, and soul were all decomposed and reassembled, eventually turning into a purple bead.

"It smells quite nice."

Elena smiled gently, tossed the purple bead directly into her mouth, and swallowed it.

"boom!"

The next moment, purple light erupted!

A dazzling, purplish-black light erupted from Qi Lin's body, transforming into a circular light shield that completely enveloped his body.

Catherine stood still, looked around, and gazed at the other areas of the Tianyuan Dao Sect.

At this moment, the Tianyuan Dao Sect was engulfed in smoke and fire, with demonic energy soaring into the sky and cries of agony echoing throughout...

Those were all disasters caused by other escaped three-eyed ancient demons, and many disciples of the Dao Sect died tragically as a result.

Most of the eighth-realm elders of the Tianyuan Dao Sect are currently staying at Taixuan Mountain. They are too far away to help in the immediate crisis and are powerless to save the sect from this disaster.

The few remaining eighth-realm elders in the Dao Sect, as well as seventh-realm disciples like Yun Muzhi, were doing their best to fight back, but due to their lack of strength, they were no match for the escaped eighth-order ancient demons. They were barely able to protect themselves, let alone save others.

As for Catherine?

"..."

Catherine glanced at the purple light shield beside her, and after a moment's thought, she chose to stand still.

To her, the life and death of these native inhabitants of the Yuanqi Realm were insignificant compared to her master's advancement. As her master's guardian knight, she could not abandon her master to rescue these "otherworldly creatures".

After all, Elena was currently possessing her master's body, assisting him in devouring an eighth-tier demon. This process could not be disturbed in the slightest, otherwise, at best, the advancement would fail, and at worst, both she and her unborn child would die. Therefore, she had to stay by her master's and Elena's side.

"Um?!"

Suddenly, Catherine's expression changed slightly, and she turned around sharply, looking towards the south of the Tianyuan Dao Sect.

Such a strong energy fluctuation?!

Who's coming?!

"boom--"

Suddenly, a beam of platinum-gold light burst forth from the south, shooting straight into the sky!

Immediately afterwards, the platinum beam of light unleashed a golden shockwave that instantly swept across an area spanning tens of thousands of miles around the Tianyuan Dao Sect!

This shockwave had no effect on other living beings or plants, but it was like the most terrifying killing move for the three-eyed ancient demons. The moment they came into contact with the shockwave, all the three-eyed ancient demons collapsed and exploded into a cloud of blood mist, dying on the spot!

"This...this?!"

Catherine turned around and looked at the shockwave that had just passed through her body, her heart filled with terror.

"Don't worry, you are not of the same kind as those three-eyed demons, so this 'Demon-Slaying Golden Light' will not have any effect on you."

Suddenly, a calm, youthful voice rang out from Catherine's right.

"..."

Catherine's expression turned solemn as she slowly looked in the direction of the sound.

A small boy dressed in black robes, with a cold expression, appeared here at some unknown time, followed by a purple-robed man with a bloodied head and a deathly pale face... Was it Duanmu Yao?!

Seeing this, Catherine thought to herself, "Just as I expected."

She knew that this Daozi wouldn't die so easily; the scene of him being eaten earlier was indeed suspicious.

As for the boy in black robes next to him, he should be Li Shan, the Supreme Elder of the Tianyuan Dao Sect.

Portraits of this legendary figure are found almost everywhere in the Tianyuan Dao Sect.

That's why Catherine recognized the appearance of this Supreme Elder.

It is said that when this Supreme Elder named "Li Shan" entered the Ninth Realm, his appearance was restored to that of a boy.

"cough……"

Catherine bowed slightly to the little boy in black robes before her, raised her two sword-wielding arms, and bowed in greeting: "I am Catherine, a succubus from the underworld, paying my respects to Lord Li Shan."

Li Shan, the Supreme Elder of the Tianyuan Dao Sect, is a ninth-level Qi Refiner, equivalent to a ninth-order Demon King!

In this situation, facing a powerful human of this caliber, Catherine, from any perspective, would have to humbly bow and address him as "My Lady."

"Exotic creatures, and they've even learned our manners?"

Li Shan's expression was originally icy cold, but seeing Catherine's actions, his expression softened slightly: "Hmm, not bad. As fellow beings from another world, you are much more polite than these three-eyed bastards... But, this world does not welcome them, nor does it welcome you!"

"I'm giving you half a day. Go back to where you came from!"

By the end, Li Shan's tone had become icy cold and even contained a hint of murderous intent!

Chapter 422 Tai Xuan Mountain, Teleportation Array

"Um, Lord Li Shan, please listen to me, we actually..."

"boom!"

Just as Catherine was about to explain, the purple light shield next to her suddenly exploded!

Li Shan glanced sideways.

Amidst the purple light, Elena stepped forward first.

"Catherine, the devouring was successful! Qi Lin will be here soon... wait?!"

Elena had been all smiles, even skipping along as she walked, but upon seeing Li Shan, her smile froze instantly, and she became extremely nervous, cold sweat beading on her forehead.

Isn't that the Supreme Elder?!

A ninth-order human!

In all her life, apart from seeing the remnant souls of past succubus ancestors in the dream realm of inheritance, this is the first time that Elena has ever seen a living ninth-tier creature in person, and at such close range!

"..."

The purple light slowly dissipated.

Qi Lin, having regained his human form, then appeared in everyone's sight.

At this moment, his white hair was flying wildly, his golden vertical pupils were flashing with dazzling golden light, and he was emanating a strong and unstable magical pressure!

Eighth-tier demon, devoured!

Promotion successful!
