Chapter 1433: The Pinnacle of Magic
The dense hordes of Yin Beasts filled the hearts of all the Demon Clan with despair.
The Divine Calculator stood dumbfounded with the compass in hand, muttering after a moment, "Damn it, could this Daoist die at the hands of such ugly creatures? Itโs truly not worth it!" ๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐จ๐ฏ๐๐.๐๐จ๐
But at that moment, Chen Nan swiftly arrived at the place where a Yin Beast had been caught earlier, reached out and grabbed, a crystal fell into his hand.
It was a Yin Qi Crystal.
Chen Nanโs heart suddenly filled with excitement, he turned and said quickly, "This is left behind after a Yin Beast dies, equivalent to the Demon Core of your Demon Clan, and the Golden Core of our Human Clan Cultivators."
"Which means, the Yin Beasts can be killed!"
Some of the Demon Clan immediately realized, as long as they can be killed, whatโs there to fear?
Earlier they were terrified by the huge Yin Beast. If all the Yin Beasts were that powerful, it might be easier to just dig a hole and bury themselves.
Ao Hao nodded slightly to Chen Nan, he too wanted to speak, but Chen Nan beat him to it. However, stabilizing peopleโs hearts at such a time was crucial.
"Then we charge directly, because we have no retreat!"
As he finished speaking, he reverted to his true form, roaring skyward, his four claws gripping the Flying Boat tightly, which shone with increasing brilliance.
The next moment, the Flying Boat transformed into a bolt of lightning and shot forward abruptly.
Several Demon Kings moved to the bow, one releasing a massive ball of fire, another calling forth lightning, instantly illuminating the scene ahead.
And they finally saw the huge Yin Beast ahead clearly.
It was a monster the size of a small mountain, with four long legs ending in giant claws, resembling a massive spider.
Except the monster had no head, and its two eyes hung directly from its body.
In an instant, the Flying Boat passed through the giant monster, which merely turned around, its eyes staring fixedly at the Flying Boat but did not pursue.
This allowed Chen Nan and the others to breathe a sigh of relief, but the other Yin Beasts chased after them, like moths to a flame, charging continuously.
A Yin Beast with two heads, one at each end of its body, came after them, its massive form landing directly on the Flying Boat, hammer-like heads pounding continuously on the barrier.
Ao Hao maintained his true Jiao Long form, his demonic power pouring ceaselessly into the Flying Boat, sustaining the magic array barrier, as he shouted hoarsely, "I must maintain the array, charge through the dark mist in one effort, leave the Yin Beasts to you."
"No one is to leave the range of the Flying Boat!"
The barrier on the Flying Boat was one-way, allowing attacks to go out but not in, so attacking from the boat was no problem.
As more Yin Beasts landed on the Flying Boat, its speed slowed.
"Hmph, just a bunch of scare tactics, watch me!"
A Tiger-headed Demon King emerged, exhaling a blast of ice, instantly freezing several Yin Beasts, then drawing out a long bone spiritual artifact, sweeping it like a stick.
Crunch, crunch... the frozen Yin Beasts shattered under the impact.
Seizing the opportunity, Chen Nan collected the Yin Qi Crystals dropped by several Yin Beasts, continuing to wait, as so many Demon Kings on the Flying Boat made his involvement unnecessary.
Seeing the Yin Beasts fall so easily, other Demon Kings and Great Demons also joined the fray, finding these Yin Beasts equivalent to only about the fifth or sixth layer of the Golden Core Realm.
But some powerful Yin Beasts were on par with Demon Kings, relentlessly attacking the barrier, stalling the situation and forcing several Demon Kings into action.
Yet the Demon Clan, in magic, were far inferior to Human Cultivators, more adept at close melee, their spells largely bloodline-inherited innate abilities.
Occasionally, Yin Beasts were killed, and Chen Nan picked up the Yin Qi Crystals, while Ao Hao would also lend a hand, retrieving distant crystals for Chen Nan.
In a short while, Chen Nan had collected over a hundred Yin Qi Crystals.
However, the situation grew increasingly dire, even a sturdy barrier couldnโt withstand the ceaseless onslaught of Yin Beasts.
Finally, a Yin Beast broke through, crashing onto the Flying Boat right in front of Chen Nan, its dripping black ooze corroding a large hole in the deck.
The terrifying, menacing head, with two mouths above and below, roared at Chen Nan.
"Damn it!"
Glancing back at the cabin, Chen Nan knew if the Yin Beast reached the Flying Boat, the elderly and weak inside would be in grave danger.
While indifferent to the Demon Clan, Yuan Sensen was his wife after all, though forcibly so, he had nonetheless gained benefits.
So in a critical moment, Chen Nan wouldnโt retreat.
"Die!"
Blazing flames erupted around Chen Nan, releasing a golden flame that exploded on the Yin Beast, forcing it back.
Next, the howling wind unleashed several wind blades, slicing the Yin Beast in two, before a final bolt of lightning struck, annihilating it.
With the Yin Beastโs death, a pool of black viscous liquid and a Yin Qi Crystal remained.
Chen Nan pocketed the crystal, quickly reaching the breached barrier, mana coursing wildly within, conjuring flames in the sky.
"Meteor Fire Rain!"
The spell descended, fiery terror erupting among the Yin Beasts, the deafening explosion blowing away the surrounding dark mist.
"Great Compassion Buddha Palm!"
"Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique!"
...
One spell after another cast by Chen Nan astonished the nearby Demon Kings and Great Demons.
The Human Clan, indeed, lives up to its title as "Summit of Magic," their innate skills unmatched by other races. In situations where physical combat is impossible, Chen Nan alone proved stronger than all the Demon Clan combined!
Various spells fell in succession; in moments Chen Nan was breathless. He summoned the Demon Suppressing Sword, its bloody light sweeping repeatedly from the Flying Boat, slaying several Yin Beasts before dissipating.
The slain Yin Beasts didnโt turn into dark liquid but were instead absorbed by the Demon Suppressing Sword completely.
"Truly, the Demon Suppressing Sword is the best!"
Chen Nan realized, against such evil entities, the Demon Suppressing Sword was the indisputable "Divine Artifact!"
Apart from Chen Nan, the Divine Calculator among the Demons also stood out, for, as a Human Cultivator, if he werenโt better than the Demon Clan in magic, why practice immortality?
While casting spells, the Divine Calculator cursed incessantly.
"Ugly creatures, die at the hands of this Daoist!"
