Chapter 1467: Chapter 1055: Going Easy (Part 2)

"Why is it so pitch black, what are you looking at?" Qing Niao widened her eyes and looked around, but couldn’t see anything unusual.

Ling Di knew it was because of the refining of the Divine Dog’s divine power, stood up and pointed forward, then made a crossing gesture with his paw, "Right in front of us, like two giant columns descending from the sky, stuck in the ground. If they were legs, they would seem too short compared to the head, but if they’re arms, they seem way too long."

Jiang Yuan immediately understood, "They’re the Demon Body’s arms. The Fiery Evil Demon Monarch’s arms reach past his knees, naturally appearing very long."

"Not only long, but the claws are also very sharp!" Ling Di straightened up, thinking that to be suppressed in the Celestial Realm, the Outer Heaven Demons must have exceedingly high combat power. However, he wasn’t sure what kind of magic they used in combat.

Before long, everyone could vaguely see those crossed arms towering on the "horizon" of the Demon Body.

Towering so high it seemed they were endless, stuck in the ground like enormous bridges were its claws, which even through the faint dark mist could reflect sharp cold light.

"Let’s get to work!" Little Lark spread his wings and raised bright red flame, excitedly saying, "Sir, I’m going to burn from above!"

The crisp voice hadn’t even faded before he lightly flew up from Yan Xuan’s back.

Carrying the radiant red flame, he fluttered gracefully in the air, burning the black polluted atmosphere into masses of black mist edged with red.

Eight avatars cooperated seamlessly, soon surrounded the claws stuck in the ground, setting ablaze with a sea of blue flames.

This time the arms didn’t cover much area, but they were tall, so everyone repositioned and redistributed, and hung colorful light spheres on the crossed arms.

Jiang Yuan still stood at the bottom, mechanically releasing skills.

Ten minutes later, the duel notification popped up again!

Entering the most polluted spot between the crossed arms, he felt a strong sense of hostility. However, the system didn’t give a threat warning but instead popped up a new dialog box—

[Trial Duel: Both parties take turns in combat, and one must empty the opponent’s health bar to win]

Oh, we’re indeed in duel mode now; it’s time to act.

"Sir, you haven’t given me the list yet." Jiang Yuan looked at the game-like electronic arena opening before his eyes and asked, "Shouldn’t we finish talking about unfinished matters first?"

Compressed to about four meters tall, the Fiery Evil Demon Monarch looked gloomy, raised his arms, and said coldly, "Although still restricted, I can finally act. I need to see if you have what it takes to obtain my demon body!"

With that, he crossed his arms and slashed down.

The sharp gigantic claws were like flexible swords, the sound of breaking wind appeared, seemingly capable of cutting even the air.

Teleport!

The turn-based system only limits one attack per person but doesn’t limit evasion.

When first entering the Wilderness World, the skill learned from a trace of the mysterious teacher left in the ice cave can move over short distances but fast enough. Still, Jiang Yuan could feel the cool breeze whipped up by the claws brushing close by!

The first attack missed, and the Fiery Evil Demon Monarch’s obsession was restrained, unable to strike again.

"Heh, now it’s my turn." Jiang Yuan smiled slightly, clicked to select the target, and unleashed Five Elements Cloud-Piercing Thunder.

This is the hidden advantage of the bound system—once a target is selected, no matter how they run, the skill will hit accurately!

Thus, the opponent couldn’t evade, only crossing his arms in front of his forehead to bear the blow.

The health bar dropped by one-tenth.

"A mere Human Race Cultivator, the attack power is indeed a bit lacking. But I didn’t expect you also use lightning, quite compatible with me." He slightly raised the corner of his mouth, his right arm gathering dense arcs of lightning, "Taste the fury of Thunder Fury."

Whoa! A large area group attack skill!

Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but take a deep breath, decisively choosing the teleport location upon the massive horns.

Anyway, it’s turn-based; he has already unleashed one electric cannon, surely can’t fire another. So, relying on body size advantage, he like dragonfly skimming water, dodged the first layer of rolling electric nets.

Unexpectedly, the guy’s skill endurance was so strong, there were electric nets everywhere with no place to land. Choosing the furthest location to teleport still got him shocked and dropped his health a bit.

For the second move, Jiang Yuan used Devouring Mountains and Rivers.

A gigantic whale composed of spiritual power suddenly appeared and swallowed the Fiery Evil Demon Monarch, reducing his health further.

When it was the opponent’s turn to counterattack, he still used the initial Wind Blade.

The smoothly dodging Jiang Yuan: ???

"Sir, have you forgotten I can evade this move?" He asked bewildered, "Why not attack with other methods?"

"You think I don’t want to? It’s just that..." The opponent got frustrated, gritting his teeth, "The Outer Heaven Demons use their bodies as weapons and rarely cultivate magic. My whole body, from horns to claws, is a weapon, yet even the flexible Wind Blade can’t deal with you. How could hard-to-hard moves possibly reach you?"

Hey? Is that all the Outer Heaven Demon can do? Quite a contrast to what I imagined.

The Demon Monarch seemed to know what Jiang Yuan was thinking, he snorted coldly, "The entire body of an Outer Heaven Demon is polluted atmosphere, which is the greatest threat to your Celestial Gods; even divine artifacts, once tainted by our aura, can be assimilated.

Among our kind, whoever’s aura is more pure and intense can corrode and even assimilate the other’s aura. Thus, the cultivator battle style you’re familiar with doesn’t apply to Outer Heaven Demons.

When you obtain my demon body in the future and really go to the Dark World, remember to be clever. Usually, demons will restrain their aura from leaking; don’t confront them directly, generally won’t reveal your identity.

Wait for the opportunity, strike decisively! My demon body is an excellent weapon honed by trials, capable of merging their bodies with your own, making you increasingly powerful!"

"If that’s the case, continuing this fight seems pointless; why not let go and help me absorb your arms sooner." Jiang Yuan counted on his fingers, "Besides the arms, there’s still the legs, body, wings, innards, and demon orb; it’ll take quite some time to piece together your demon body. The sooner I’m successful, the sooner I can seek the Tree of Time and World Tree to help you regain vindication."

After all, the opponent was merely a remnant thought rather than his true self, having turned his resentment to hatred towards old enemies from Jiang Yuan’s "defection." This obsession no longer counted as an enemy.

"Alright. You’re a smart person; even I can’t see through you, maybe you really can fulfill my wish." He pondered for a few moments, nodded, "I’m still heavily restricted here; only when the opportunity arises can I pass on my life’s learning to you. The list and clues of the Tree of Time will all be shared; now let’s not waste time, strike."

For the Fiery Evil Demon Monarch’s turn, he slacked off, merely swinging arms or kicking symbolically, Jiang Yuan sometimes didn’t even need to dodge.

And when it was his turn, any skills with attack power were utilized. Luckily, the opponent was a mere obsession, without pain, in merely two or three minutes, the duel was over.

[Flame Demon Monarch KO!]

The health of the twin arms dropped by a third, seeming the rewards for dueling were greater than for negotiation.

"Master is truly amazing!" Yan Xuan was momentarily lost for words since previously, the master had gone in and out five times dealing with the Demon Monarch’s head, already using up all the lifetime’s worth of rainbow praises.

But now, seeing the master even fiercer, he couldn’t muster an elegant compliment.

"Not bad, this one was easier to handle." Jiang Yuan was in a great mood and figured he could finish in half an hour at the current speed!

Everyone had just rested, they shouldn’t be too tired, might as well seize the chance to deal with the nearby central location’s suppressed Demon Body. Meanwhile, they could also gather intel and possibly receive new skills from the Demon Monarch, simply exhilarating!

Sure enough, another duel ten minutes later.

Before he spoke, the Fiery Evil Demon Monarch eagerly kicked his legs, pretending to miss while slacking off, "Quickly, quickly, I’ve been suppressed for quite some time.

A Supreme Treasure like the Tree of Time is surely coveted by countless Celestial Gods and Demons. If you arrive late and someone else claims it, what then?"

"Thank you, sir! Appreciate your kindness!" Jiang Yuan maintained courtesy, quickly using a wave of skills to send the opponent off.

After emerging from the duel space for the third time, watching the rolling thunder clouds’ pollution vanishing from the Demon Body’s arms, he revealed a satisfied smile.
