Painting of the Nine Immortals-Chapter 988 - The Demonic Sage Body

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi

Xue Wu Nie’s red hair fluttered in the wind. It was as red as blood and he wore a thirsty smile. He was like a demon who’s cruelty mimicked those from hell.

He looked over to Ling Xian, not at all hiding the disdain in his gaze. It was obvious that he was treating Ling Xian like prey.

This look of disdain made Ling Xian frown. It made him uncomfortable.

Everyone had a look of astonishment and shrieked.

“It’s Xue Wu Nie! He has a the legendary demonic sage body!”

“It really is him! He was born around half a year ago and killed hundreds of Heaven’s Favorites the moment he appeared!”

“This will be fun to watch then. The demonic sage body is one of the nine sage bodies. It is praised by everyone in our own generation. That person is dead meat for sure!”

Everyone chimed in. they looked at Xue Wu Nie with fear in their eyes.

What could they do? The demonic body is one of the sage bodies. Nicknamed to be undefeatable, it is insanely powerful. Xue Wu Nie’s battling record is even more incomparable and endlessly glorious!

Though before, he was relatively nameless and unheard of, half a year ago, he killed hundreds of Heaven’s Favorites in one go and became known by almost everyone.

At least out of everyone here in Heaven’s Favorites Palace, basically everyone knew him.

“Demonic sage body?”

Ling Xian’s eyes shone, not at all afraid but a little intrigued.

Don’t forget, he had once awoken the demonic immortal bone. This immortal bone belongs uniquely to those of the demonic sage body. Plus, he had the battle immortal bone. So he had a theory in mind that he can awaken immortal bones that are unique to the sage bodies.

His gaze shone and he wondered if he absorbs the demonic sage body’s blood source, then would he be able to recreate the demonic immortal bone?

Ling Xian’s eyes shone bright at this idea. He thought it was doable.

“You heard them. Hand over the cosmic technique and I can spare your life.”

Xue Wu Nie teasingly smiled. His provoking behavior made it obvious to everyone that he didn’t think anything of Ling Xian.

Ling Xian realized this too. His expression turned cold.

“If your demonic sage body is making you so presumptuous, then I must say, you are far too cocky. Just because you have the demonic sage body doesn’t mean you are undefeatable.”

“You are right.”

Xue Wu Nie surprisingly agreed with Ling Xian. But next, he teased, “To put it more accurately, because the demonic sage body is possessed by me, I am undefeatable.”

“You sure are arrogant.”

Ling Xian glared at Xue Wu Nie, feeling disgusted. The way Xue Wu Nie looked at him truly disgusted him.

“I am arrogant because I have the abilities to be.”

Xue Wu Nie was presumptuous and his red hair danced in the wind, “If you realize the situation right now, then hand over the cosmic technique. My ability isn’t something you can defend against.”

“I have already ripped apart the tri-colored flower. If you want the cosmic technique, you will have to get it from me.”

The corner of Ling Xian’s lips curled up. He pointed to his head, “But, I don’t believe you have the capability.”

“You are merely an ant. The prowess of the demonic sage body isn’t one you can imagine.”

Xue Wu Nie’s face darkened and he said in a low voice, “I originally wanted to spare your life. But since you cannot identify the right from the wrong, I will smash apart your head and take it myself!”

“You can come and try. There is something I want from you anyway.”

Ling Xian’s eyes turned cold. Other than coldness in his eyes, there was some anticipation.

He wanted to try to absorb the blood from the source of the sage body as he wondered if he’ll be able to create the demonic sage body like he has guessed.

“You ant who overestimate yourself, since you want to die, then I will grant you your wish.”

Xue Wu Nie guffawed darkly and instantly reappeared before Ling Xian. At once, physical energy crushed through the sky and shocked the crowd.

The demonic body is one of the nine sage bodies and is known to be be undefeatable. Nicknamed to be able to defeat even the gods and Buddha, it is powerful to the extreme!

Now that Xue Wu Nie has attacked, demonic energy filled the space and startled the entire heaven and earth, shocking all mountains and rivers!

The crowd changed their expressions and felt even more scared.

However, Ling Xian was not at all scared. Instead, his desire to fight rolled out for miles!

HOMMM!

More energy washed over the sky as spiritual energy swept around. Ling Xian’s right hand formed into the Disorder Conquering Fist and smashed through the void!

“You have some moves, but you cannot stop me!”

Xue Wu Nie smiled in disdain. His red hair continued to fluttered in the wind, making his demonic appearance even more aggressive. Everyone’s face changed colors!

Even the sky darkened instantly.

However, Ling Xian’s desire to fight remained high and fearless, “Perfect. I can test my new skill on you.”

Then, a tri-colored flower appeared above his head and spun around. Heavenly light washed over the entire place, mysterious as ever.

Instantly, the tri-colored flower stopped the demonic energy. Despite Xue Wu Nie’s endless amount of demonic power, it couldn’t break through the tri-colored flower’s barrier.

This made Ling Xian smile. He complimented the cosmic technique. The defensive ability of this tri-colored flower sure is powerful.

Xue Wu Nie, however, was furious.

“God Slayer Hatchet, kill him!”

A bloody red blade dropped from the heavens. A demonic slayer appeared inside the demon’s hand with enough destructive power to end all lives.

Everyone’s face changed color and all found it hard to conceal their fear.

All because this bloody red blade is known to be the demonic sage body’s unique weapon. Its power is unimaginable!

“Its name is dominating, sadly, it doesn’t have enough power.”

The corner of Ling Xian’s lips curled up. He was as relaxed as ever and as collected as before. His two arms moved around as the tri-colored flower spun above his head, instantly stopping the red blade!

HOMMMM!

After an ear-splitting rumble, the Flower of Dao emitted heavenly energy that shot through the sky. Red, blue, and green flickered, exploding three waves of extremely powerful energy that crushed the large blade into pieces!

This scene shocked everyone and astounded Xue Wu Nie!

Nobody knows about the terror of the God Slayer Hatchet more than him. He has used this weapon to kill all his enemies. Yet Ling Xian had broken it so easily. Why wouldn’t he be surprised?

“The God Slayer Hatchet is just so-so. Die!”

Ling Xian moved violently. The tri-colored flower danced around, dispersing the clouds in the sky in all directions and revealing just how undefeatable it is!

This made Xue Wu Nie’s face twitch. He no longer attacked mindlessly like before. He summoned his demonic body and his hands turned bloody red with enough strength to split open the earth!

Crack!

After one crisp noise, the space before him was ripped apart by him. It was like he was cutting tofu, easy as ever.

It became obvious just how powerful this move was!

However, Ling Xian’s expression didn’t change. The Flower of Dao continued to shoot out a shocking amount of grandeur that stopped all attacks.

At the same time, the tri-colored flower exploded with an unimaginable amount of energy that shredded through the void and landed on Xue Wu Nie!

Retch!

After a mouthful of fresh blood, Xue Wu Nie’s face had a look of belief. He couldn’t believe he would be the first to get wounded!

To someone like him, who has never lost since he began cultivating, this was unbelievable and also a huge humiliation!

Everyone had a look of astonishment. They could not believe that the legendary demonic sage body would get wounded first in a battle.

Just how powerful did the enemy have to be for this to happen?

Everyone was in shock as all gazes landed on Ling Xian. One emotion was revealed by everyone.

Respect.

Respect they normally show towards real immortals.

“Xue Wu Nie, die!”

Ling Xian screamed and he attacked without limitations. The Flower of Dao was no longer moving, yet the offensive energy it radiated was enough to shock the heavens and move the earth!
