Archfiend Chapter 435

Three seconds elapsed in a twinkling.

As soon as three seconds passed, the Dream Walker's eyes swiveled. Afterwards, a sharp pain surged up in his mind!

"BRAT!!!" Amidst his explosive roar, his shredded butterfly wings trembled frenetically. Like lightning, he flew back a hundred meters and then stroked his neck in disbelief.

His hand was covered in black blood.

"You wounded me?" He looked at the blood on his hand with a little surprise. His eyes quickly rounded and switched over to Xu Yangyi. "You… middle Foundation Establishment insect… actually injured me?"

"You actually dare to injure me?"

His voice was akin to rolling thunder. "I… am in existence equal to the Creator in the Clearcloud Realm! You actually dare to injure me?!" He shouted angrily for several seconds, and his voice sank, "However, you are just this and nothing more."

"With your cultivation, to accomplish this step… I won't let you die easily…"

Moonless shivered as he observed this. He hadn't expected that it would actually be useless! Also… he had guessed earlier, but what spiritual force did Xu Yangyi have now? The demon slayer physically couldn't muster half a shred of qi. Borrowing the support of the Qi Explosion Pill three times to strengthen his qi meant three rebounds. An ordinary person would've long since gone insane. For Xu Yangyi to achieve this much was already remarkable.

Still… he was unwilling!

The passage to Earth was right before his eyes, but he was just a step short. Obstructed by these two monsters ahead, they were only this step short!

"Just a step behind…" He painfully closed his eyes and screamed into the air, "Just a step behind!!! Once we returned to Earth, the Clearcloud Realm would've been our paradise! The hope for Core Formation! Just this step, one step!"

"Tch," the Dream Walker sneered. At this moment, the final worry in his heart was finally released.

Of the two seals, while the bodhi seed—not to mention the bearded man's name—wouldn't disappear, the secondary seal was now gone without a trace. No matter what, there was no chance of him going back into that damned cage again.

But in this instant, his expression suddenly changed! On his throat, he felt an intense burst of pain! It almost caused him to madly roar!

"What is this?" Shocked, he touched his throat. There… a kind of blackness, different from the one on his own body, was rapidly spreading!

"A pill fiend…" Xu Yangyi clutched his dantian, and gritted his bloodstained teeth as he laughed. "How does it feel?"

The Dream Walker was stunned. Afterwards, like a plague, the swath of blackness extended over his entire body at great speed! Meanwhile, pain, similar to a roiling flame, took hold of him!

"ROAR!!!" In pain, the Dream Walker unleashed an inhuman shout. Both of his wings urgently danced in the air, resembling two black heavenly curtains.

"Can you kill him?!" Moonless's fiery-red eyes saucered wide and locked onto Xu Yangyi.

"I can't." Xu Yangyi could no longer hold on, and he sat cross-legged in the air. He sensed… a powerful, ancient strength devastating the inside of his body. He simply couldn't control it. However, the origin of this power actually seemed to be… the Voidspirit Immortal Physique?

"But, he's already dead." In the end, he used his weary eyes to glance at the painfully struggling Dream Walker. "What should come has probably arrived…"

"What should be coming?! What are you saying?!?!?!" Moonless nearly began to shout. Life and death was in this moment, here and now. Could it be that Xu Yangyi thought that he had won?

Five minutes, after no less than five minutes did the Dream Walker stop howling in pain. His eyes were reddened by suffering. He bore a heart filled with murderous intent as he looked at Xu Yangyi. Without anything said, a black swastika stormed out!

"I… will dismember you into a million pieces, mongrel! Thus I will vent my heart's hatred!!!

Clang! Just as the swastika flew out, it mysteriously disappeared without warning.

While Moonless was dazed, the Dream Walker was even more so.

"This…" The Dream Walker surveyed the area in surprise. "Someone… erased my power?"

"That's impossible… in the Clearcloud Realm, I am the Creator! Who can erase the Creator's power?"

"It was surely you… While you are clever, you act with such wretched pettiness…" He coldly looked at Xu Yangyi. This time, his six hands waved in concert, and six ghost-like qi beams screamed forth in the air.

"Before true power, all is useless. This move is called the Six Paths Of Reincarnation. I will have you undergo six paths, and pass into eternal oblivion."

However… as the Six Paths Of Reincarnation flew out ten meters… like smoke, they all vanished again!

Just like some invisible figure had twirled them away into a firework, effortlessly with the move of a hand.

Something was off.

Moonless looked all around in astonishment. In a state of similar astonishment, the Dream Walker's gaze wandered the vicinity. Could there really be something he didn't know about that was hiding in this nightmare?

"You just said… before power, all is useless…" Xu Yangyi finally mustered an iota of qi. With boundless excitement and a heart brimming with killing intent, he looked at the Dream walker. "I admit… very soon, you'll experience what despair is. Whether you know or not, the pill fiend is only a primer."

"The actual killing move…" He licked his lips, thirsty for blood. "Is the Azurecloud Seed incubating in your neck."

"I just gave it a hand and broke its cocoon."

A formless sense of danger pervaded the Dream Walker's entire body, and he said deeply, "Azurecloud Seed… what is this?"

"It's not something, but it has a master. And its master is the best at forced possessions and reincarnating in another's body. I had the fortune to face-off against her. And what about her attack methods? I'll tell you that she sets up a marker first. As long as the marker is broken—oh, that's the incubation of the Azurecloud Seed—her true body will immediately tear through space and time to come. No matter where you are… no matter how far you are…"

The Dream Walker lifelessly stood where he was. He understood… he understood!

The Azurecloud Seed had been planted in Xu Yangyi's sword. Furthermore, Xu Yangyi had forcibly slashed it open! Its master had quickly sensed this, and now… she was striding across realms to arrive!

The pill fiend was only to give the Azurecloud Seed time to react! To ensure that when it incubated it would be able to inside the Dream Walker's body!

This was a missile control system!

"Striding across realms to arrive… striding across realms to arrive…" The Dream Walker's voice shook. It understood all too well what the significance of striding across realms represented!

This meant… that the other was at least above Nascent Soul!

No! Even further beyond Nascent Soul!

BANG! His skin seemed to instantly explode!

Infinite fear surged in his mind. He couldn't help but shudder. Afterwards, like a madman, he hurried ten meters away and swung his fist!

There was no sound, but… he seemed to have entered a glass cage. He was inside, and touched and stroked the four sides around him with an expression of alarm, but he wasn't able to leave!

"How could… How?" His gaze urgently flickered, and he backpedaled. His lips quivered in confusion, but not one word left his mouth.

The script had gone so swimmingly, but this was actually the conclusion?

He didn't believe it. He wanted to roar and shout that he didn't believe it. But regardless, everything before his eyes and a kind of horror swiftly climbed up his entire heart, like a poison.

"Enihilus… Enihilus!" he finally started to rasp out, "Wake up…"

There was no answer.

"Wake the fuck up!!!"

In the end, Enihilus, who was behind, opened his eyes and said in displeasure, "What are you screaming and shouting for…"

"I can't sense anything…" As if it had gone insane, the Dream Walker slammed against the four walls of the unseen glass cage. Not so much as a sound rang out. He couldn't leave!

"I can't sense anything.... I can't sense anything! Hurry and answer me!!!"

Enihilus also felt something was wrong. With a mere glance at his surroundings, he immediately felt his hair stand on edge and shouted out, "The world within a palm?! Is this the world within a palm?!"

"Legend says that supreme cultivators can bring anything into their palm! Once the world within a palm appears, the other shall also come in less than ten minutes!!! You're insane! This is a true high-level cultivator who is at the very least beyond Nascent Soul! How did you provoke such a monster?!?!?!"

"I didn't… We didn't…" The Dream Walker was truly afraid. His entire face paled. Like a helpless child, he stroked the unseen cage with a shaky voice, "I didn't! I really didn't!!!"

"This isn't real, this is impossible! How could this be?!?!?!"

Xu Yangyi coldly observed everything in front of him. This was his true killing move!

"I'll go ahead and tell you. She can't forcibly possess you… because your body in itself is a dream," he laughed like a demon-god. "So, she'll come from there… and from there she'll go—oh, no, she'll take you away!"

"Since you don't have a physical body, she won't be able to stay here! Any forced possession requires an actual fleshly body!" Xu Yangyi's voice clearly entered the invisible cage. It was the final rice straw that crushed the camel to death.

Silence.

Nothing was heard. Not a squeal, squeak, or screech. Several seconds later, Enihilus erupted with a furious roar, "Get out the way!!!"

RUMBLE! Endless black light blasted out and struck the invisible cage. Afterwards, it soundlessly exploded apart.

"Huff…" In a flash, numerous beads of cold sweat exuded out from Enihilus's head. He madly screamed and launched a frenzied salvo of divine abilities!

"Let me out!!! LET ME OUT! I'm not willing to die here!!!" As if he was insane, he didn't hold back in the slightest. The spiritual force of Great Circle Foundation Establishment spilled out like a tide, and he wildly screamed at the top of his lungs, "Release me!!!"

Ruuummmble. The full power of Great Circle Foundation Establishment was exhibited. The area fifty meters all around faintly shook, but the cage in front of Enihilus and the Dream Walker didn't move one bit!

"Huff… Huff…" Enihilus appeared to age by decades a few seconds later. Panting for air, he gritted his teeth and looked at Xu Yangyi. "What do you want?"

Xu Yangyi watched the old monk with icy eyes.

"What do you want?! Speak! What do you want?!?! SPEAK!!!"

"I'll give you whatever you want! Take out the marker! I beseech you! I don't want to die here!"

"The Clearcloud Realm? Is that right? If you want it, I'll give it to you! What else do you want? I'm willing to let you suppress the Clearcloud Realm! How about it?!?!?!"

"Wolfbane! Speak! Say something!!!"

"Fellow Daoist… Fellow Daoist! What do you want in the end?! I'll give you whatever I can give!"

His voice was hoarse, and endless terror battered his heart like a tide.

If… Butterflymother Southflower had arrived in a twinkling then Enihilus wouldn't have lost this much self-control. However, such looming death, this sensation of an execution ground… was enough to make anyone's mind crumble apart!

Moonless took a long sigh. Not even he had actually expected this ending!

A sword was kept in its scabbard, but when unsheathed it was bound to seal itself on the enemy's throat!

"Fellow Daoist Wolfbane…" The Dream Walker was also close to collapse. With a thump, he limped against the cage. He was far from his lofty arrogance ten minutes ago, instead a slave to unspeakable despair. "For me to have cultivated to this day… was not easy… Fellow Daoist… as long as you say the word! Take out the Azurecloud Seed, and Enihilus and I will be willing to do anything!"

Compared to death, any price was light.

Having lived so long, they were even more scared of death!

Xu Yangyi coldly took in their two figures. After ages, he said calmly, "I want you… to die!"

"YOU!!!" Enihilus stood up like a madman, and his hands dug into the invisible cage. He shouted with everything that he had, "Buddha possesses the virtue of a good life! Fellow Daoist, do you not know to leave behind a line of mercy…"

Xu Yangyi sneered, "There won't be a chance for us to see each other again in the future."

He looked at the sky. "Ten more seconds at most."
