Chapter 1167: Chapter 702: Final Move Chapter 1167: Chapter 702: Final Move Battle! Battle! Battle!

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Even though Heavenly Demons are not innately born, their numbers are not numerous. Overall, there are only fifty or sixty of them, distributed into the three days of the Demon Abyss, averaging over twenty a day. Now they are all intercepted by the Xuanhuang Immortals, and one battle spans several decades.

Indeed, several decades!

The concept of time for the Immortal Gods is inherently different from ordinary people. This kind of life-and-death battle between Heavenly Immortals, where the Great Dao clashes and worlds collide, is an existence that is beyond the understanding of ordinary people, and several decades is truly nothing.

It recalls the first battle of Xuanhuang, where Mara Boxun confronted the Supreme Heavenly Emperor, and they opposed each other for nearly ten thousand years, both overtly and covertly contesting. After ages of transformations and the passage of years, they finally determined the victor.

Although today’s battle involves Heavenly Immortals rather than the supreme beings who wield the power of the Golden Immortals, the victory cannot be discerned even over several decades. Both sides are at a stalemate, enduring and wearing out each other based on their cultivation foundation and life’s root.

Xu Yang, within this sword, stands distinguished. The Nine Forms Saint Sword governs the skies, traversing boldly within this Demon Land. Over several decades, it has slain three Heavenly Demons, achieving remarkably proud records of victorious battle.

“The time is just about right!”

After cutting down his last opponent, without much rest, Xu Yang soared up on Xuanyuan, heading towards the central region of Desire Heaven, preparing to assist the Golden Mother Primordial Lord in deciding this battle.

Among the Xuanhuang Nine Saints, four have perished. Although there are successors like them, supplemented by the legacy of the Great Dao, they still struggle to carry the main burden. Hence, the main attack on the three days of the Demon Abyss still falls on the original five Xuanhuang Sacred beings. These “substitutes” can only serve as support.

Among them, led by the Golden Mother Primordial Lord and the Deity of the Sun, they primarily attack Desire Heaven. Daoist Shangqing and Emperor Fengdu lead another substitute for the primary assault on Bhurlo Heaven. Maitreya Buddha and the Four Sea Dragon Lords take the last substitute to lead the main attack on Great Brahma Heaven.

This means, as the foremost among the substitutes, the strongest among the Earth Immortals, inheriting the legacy of the, Supreme Daoist, he has been designated as an Innate Sacred being. He must assist the Golden Mother Primordial Lord to conquer the weakest, Desire Heaven, as the breakthrough point of this battle.

Therefore…

Xu Yang, riding on Xuanyuan, charges towards the central area of Desire Heaven.

However unexpectedly, the world trembles, and a deep abyss opens up, reaching from the highest heaven to the deepest netherworld. Another Heavenly Demon obstructs his path.

Xu Yang, impatient and not wasting words, mounts Xuanyuan intending to break through this Demon Abyss.

Yet, before the Holy Sword is drawn, a radiant brilliance appears. A Great Sun descends from the sky, plunging into the Demon Abyss and violently colliding with it. Amidst this, a voice is heard, “Leave this demon to me, Taoist friend hurry on!”

It was indeed the Deity of the Sun!

Hearing this, Xu Yang decisively leaps up with Xuanyuan, breaking through this barrier, and hurriedly marches towards the central region of Desire Heaven.

“Ha ha ha…”

“Woo woo woo…”

“Ah ah ah…”

Along the way, there are ghostly wails and wolfish howls. The closer he approaches the central boundary, the stronger the power of Desire Heaven becomes.

Seven Emotions and Six Desires, myriad desires arise, obstructed by demons transformed from desires. Yet, they cannot even catch Xu Yang’s eye. With Xuanyuan sweeping through, the Holy Sword slashes all obstacles, and he advances singing triumphantly, finally reaching the summit of Desire Heaven.

At the summit of Desire Heaven, where the king resides, now also ravaged by the flames of war, an Immortal Palace and a Demon Palace stand starkly opposite each other.

What an Immortal Palace?

Reaching for the heavens, its roots anchored in Sumeru.

Curious peaks arranged, bizarre rocks unevenly scattered.

Below the cliff, Yao Grass and precious flowers grow along winding paths edged by Purple Ganoderma Fragrance.

Immortal apes picking fruits enter the peach forest, resembling flames burning pure gold.

White Cranes perch on pine trees like mist encircling jade rings.

Paired colorful phoenixes, crow under the sun, an auspicious omen; paired Qingluan birds, dance with the wind–a spectacle rare in this world.

A procession to the east, a procession to the west, all marvels of Ruigong treasures.

A belt to the south, a belt to the north, endless Treasure Pavilions and Jade Buildings.

Above the Yun Guang Hall stretches golden glow, beneath the Gathering Immortal Pavilion rises purple mist.

Within Kunlun Mountain, celestial music stirs, now it’s known Purple Mansion is the Turquoise Pool.

Kunlun Jade Mountain, the Turquoise Pool Immortal Palace!

Within the Immortal Palace, brilliance in every aspect, numerous fairies each holding Immortal Banners, or grasping umbrellas and Jade Chariots, surrounding an Honorable God, manifesting myriad golden lights, beyond sight for ordinary folk, inscrutable to the common man.

Indeed, one of the Xuanhuang Nine Saints, Kunlun Jade Mountain Golden Mother Primordial Lord.

Looking at her opponent, an entity forbidden to mortal eyes, resides within a dark-enshrouded palace, settled in a realm of eternal delight, where reality blends seamlessly with illusion.

Outside this palace, six different vistas manifest. One shows a resplendent gold mountain, more than ten thousand feet tall, with countless beings fighting over its riches, desires prompting slaughter, unaware they too merge into this mountain of gold.

Another depicts pools of wine and forests of meat, countless beings indulging excessively as if in a frenzied feast, drinking and eating, but ultimately tormented by hunger, turning against each other, devouring their kind, rendering the meat forest bloody, the wine pools crimson.

Yet another is debauched, with myriad beings–male or female, masculine or feminine, old or young, human or beast–each represents the utmost beauty, stirring endless desires, sounds of indulgence echoing, unwittingly transforming love into madness, tearing the beloved limb from limb, chewing on their bones, exhausting everything solely for ultimate delight.

Furthermore, endlessly more, joy, anger, sorrow, fear, shock, perceptions of eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and consciousness… Seven Emotions and Six Desires.

This was indeed him, the King of Heavenly Demons, master of Desire!

This demon has many forms, manifold venerations, neither male nor female, neither yin nor yang, embodying Seven Emotions, manifesting Six Desires, rumored indeed to be Mara transformed, spouse of Boxun, representing the ultimate manifestation of self-desire, self-love.
