<b>Chapter 860 - Battling the Devil God with Combined Strength</b>


    Xuanyuan Wentian carried a ferocious smile as he stretched out his hand. Following after this movement, a gigantic pitch-ck palm stretched out from the space in front of him, grabbing towards the merged mes brought out by the Little Demon Empress and Feng Xue’er head on.


    Bang!!


    With a dull reverberation, the divine mes that had zingly crossed through three kilometers in space were firmly grasped within his palm. The annihtion energy within the Phoenix mes and Golden Crow mes exploded forth at the same time. Fiery light charged into the skies, yet the mes were never able to escape from the control of the pitch-ck hand. As the pitch-ck hand tightened, the struggling Golden Crow mes and Phoenix mes quickly extinguished. In a short several breaths of time, they had already beenpletely engulfed by the ck aura.


    Looking at this scene, the expressions carried by Feng Xue’er and the Little Demon Empress changed at the same time. The Illusory Demon profound practitioners below had even more so stared with their eyes opened wide.


    “Little Demon Empress’s Golden Crow mes, were actually... actually...”


    “Divine mes are just nothing more than that in the face of this sovereign’s present strength.” Xuanyuan Wentian coldlyughed, filled with arrogant pride. He slowly raised the Eternal Night Devil Sword and the surrounding tumbling ck fog began to gather towards the de like raging tides. An ice-cold yet dangerous aura enveloped the surrounding space of several hundreds of kilometers. “Why don’t you people tremble... as you wee the deaths personally bestowed by this sovereign!?”


    The ck aura on Xuanyuan Wentian’s body exploded forth as he pierced his sword straight towards the Little Demon Empress and Feng Xue’er. While he approached them, the streaks of light suddenly dimmed. The fiery light that was initially scorching to the eyes was quickly being suppressed into dimness. At the same time, the two of them felt that space had suddenly turned sticky, as though their bodies were stuck on a spider web, making it especially hard for them to move.


    They were basically unable to evade as well and they were left with no choice but to take Xuanyuan Wentian’s sword strike head on.


    The pressure exuded by Xuanyuan Wentian was far more terrifying than three months ago. The Little Demon Empress’s eyes shone with an ice-cold glint and not the slightest bit of fear could be seen on her face. Golden Crow mes that had a color close to that of pure gold were smashed straight towards Xuanyuan Wentian’s chest. Feng Xue’er made a move right after, as scarlet red mes zed into the skies.


    Out of the two women’s mes, one was like a scorching fiery sun, while the other was as sacred as a rainbow.


    Boom!!


    The overly intense sh of profound energy swirled up tornadoes that had enveloped the entire sky. The Golden Crow mes and Phoenix mes that blended together had even set the horizon aze. The dark sword beam was engulfed by the mes, however, like an enraged dark gigantic beast, it suddenly expanded, ruthlessly suppressing the Golden Crow mes and Phoenix mes. Following after the ghost cry-like whistling of a sword image, the mes were ruthlessly torn apart.


    The faces of the Little Demon Empress and Feng Xue’er paled at the same time and their bodies were quickly thrown back by the impact. However, a st was suddenly heard from behind them as a third ball of mes passed between the two of them, straight toward Xuanyuan Wentian.


    Xuanyuan Wentian groaned as his body tumbled several dozen times to the back. When he stopped his body, the hair covering his forehead had already beenpletely burnt to a crisp. He reached out his hand to rub his forehead but instead of being furious, he let out a grimugh. His pitch-ck eyes locked firmly onto Yun Che. “Heh, Yun Che. Your every appearance would always bring a different surprise to this sovereign and this time it’s no exception. It has only been three short months but your strength has actually elevated several times and it has seemingly surpassed this sovereign when I had yet to cultivate my devil physique. What astonishing aptitude.”


    “But... So what!?”


    The swirling ck aura was still endlessly pouring into the Eternal Night Devil Sword. While Xuanyuan Wentian’s low voice was still echoing, his body had already shuttled off like a ghost. The Eternal Night Devil Sword shed down and its pitch-ck de sliced open a dark curtain of light that was several dozen meters in length in the sky, wantonly twisting space itself.


    “Big Brother Yun, watch out!!”


    The exchange of blows earlier had already allowed Feng Xue’er to truly experience Xuanyuan Wentian’s terror... That was power that she could not hope to match against with her present strength. Furthermore, she had an ufortable feeling that even if she worked together with the Little Demon Empress, it would still be seemingly impossible to defeat Xuanyuan Wentian. And though Yun Che’s profound strength had risen explosively in the three months they were in Golden Crow Lightning me Valley, he was still far weaker than the two of them.


    After Feng Xue’er yelled out, the zing image of a Phoenix immediately flew out of her body. Within the twisted space, it ignited a mass of Phoenix mes that burned to the absolute limits. As though their hearts were in resonance, the Golden Crow zing image on the Little Demon Empress’s body flew out at seemingly the same time, releasing an extremely sonorous mighty cry under Xuanyuan Wentian’s sword curtain.


    Among the three of them, Yun Che’s strength wasparatively the weakest. However, facing Xuanyuan Wentian who was like a nightmare itself, how could he possibly allow two women to face him while he alone retreated? Golden Crow mes ignited in his two hands and with Falling Moon Sinking Star activated, he struck towards Xuanyuan Wentian.


    Boom!!


    Four terrifying energies shed against each other, forming incredibly terrifying energy tornadoes. The surrounding spacepletely copsed in an instant and that terrifying profound energy tornado was imprisoned right after as it shrank into the copsed space. The tornado wildly twisted and then, like a balloon being popped, it suddenly exploded.


    This time, space in the surrounding several hundred meters broke apart and spatial fragments scattered haphazardly all around like countless metal needles. Under the force of the impact that radiated out, Xuanyuan Wentian was pushed back several dozen steps, while Feng Xue’er, Little Demon Empress and Yun Che, as though they smashed away by a gigantic mountain, felt intense pain in their organs and were sent flying back in three directions like broken leaves.


    Even after the three people hadbined their strengths, they were still defeated in the exchange!


    “Hahahaha...” Xuanyuan Wentianughed out loud. Sweeping up his body, he had already charged right towards Yun Che who was still flying backwards. The Eternal Night Devil Sword shed with an ominous ck glint. “Then let’s first begin with you!!”


    “Ah!! Big Brother Yun!” Feng Xue’er’s beautiful face paled from Xuanyuan Wentian’s actions. She could no longer afford to care about the mess within her body as she desperately circted the Phoenix me energy. A pair of Phoenix me wings spread open behind her and a gigantic image of a Phoenix surfaced on her body as well. Her entire being looked as though it had materialized into an actual Phoenix.


    Using the Empyrean Dance of the Phoenix Wing, she forcefully reversed her posture and with a force that could destroy the sky and decimate the earth, she charged towards Xuanyuan Wentian.


    However, Xuanyuan Wentian’s speed was too quick. Even if Empyrean Dance of the Phoenix Wing could temporarily allow Feng Xue’er’s speed to break through her limits, it was basically still far from being enough. The pitch-ck devil sword was now merely a meter away from Yun Che.


    Yun Che gritted his teeth, however, he did not use Star God’s Broken Shadow to escape. A red light shed in his hands, then he grabbed onto the Heaven Smiting Devil yer Sword and smashed it straight at Xuanyuan Wentian.


    Xuanyuan Wentian revealed an extremely belittling smile after seeing Yun Che’s action. He suddenly retracted the Eternal Night Devil Sword and grasped towards Yun Che’s gigantic vermilion sword with his empty left hand. “Your sword still isn’t worthy of being received by this sovereign’s own sword!”


    ng!!


    With a loud ng, Xuanyuan Wentian’s hand had already grabbed onto the de of Heaven Smiting Devil yer Sword, releasing out a deafening noise akin to divine metals shing against each other. People were unable to believe that it was actually a noise made by a sh between a physical body and a sword.


    Yun Che’s arms trembled and under the intense numbness. He instantly lost his sense of touch, his organs were even more so in a stateparable to rivers and seas being overturned. It was not that his heavy sword had never been directly held by anyone else... just that no one had ever once grabbed it bare-handedly.


    However, Xuanyuan Wentian merely used a single hand and his Heaven Smiting Devil yer Sword was firmly fixated in the air. The entire surging force of the heavy sword rebounded back onto his own body. If not because the strength of his body had long surpassed the realm of mortals, his hands and even his arms, would have already been shattered.


    But...


    Before Xuanyuan Wentian, who held onto Yun Che’s heavy sword, could even leak out an arrogantugh, his expression suddenly changed. Following after, he even retracted his hand as though he had been electrocuted and apanying his action was a scream that could not bepletely described as mournful.


    The sudden scream would naturally lead to a short loss of focus and the Phoenix image materialized by Feng Xue’er broke through the skies at this moment, heavily smashing onto Xuanyuan Wentian’s body.


    Xuanyuan Wentian’s body was instantly ignited with Phoenix mes and he was ruthlessly sent flying away. The direction he flew to was coincidentally where the Little Demon Empress was. By then, the Little Demon Empress had already stabilized her body. Waving out her palm, with Xuanyuan Wentian’s body as the medium, an intense mass of Golden Crow mes ferociously exploded, adding ayer of Golden Crow mes to his body which was already burning with Phoenix mes.


    Bang!!


    Xuanyuan Wentian heavily smashed onto the ground, smashing out a humongous, deep crater on the surface of the ground. In the next moment, a ray of ck light exploded out from the deep crater, instantly extinguishing the Phoenix mes and Golden Crow mes which enveloped his body.


    Within the ck light, Xuanyuan Wentian slowly floated into the air. His outer garments had already been burned to a crisp and his body was also filled with burn injuries. However, he did not seem to be batting an eye at these injuries. His two eyes firmly red at the left hand he raised and his entire left arm was trembling intensely.


    A vermilion scar was engraved on the palm of his left hand and it was still emitting a frail vermilion glow. Within the scar, pearls of crimson ck blood dripped downward.


    With his level of cultivation and “devil physique”, even if it was an injury ten times heavier than this one, the casual guidance of his profound energy would have immediately stopped the blood from flowing.


    However, even after pouring his profound energy towards this scar which was emitting out a vermilion glow several times, when approaching the wound, the profound energy would suddenly dissipate away, basically preventing him from stopping the flow of blood, let alone healing it. What was more frightening was that this wound which was clearly just two inches long felt as though there were millions of poisonous ws constantly stabbing into his palm, causing him unbearable pain.


    “What’s going on... What exactly is going on?” Xuanyuan Wentian furiously growled.


    “This is... a devil yer sword!?”


    The Eternal Night Devil Sword suddenly transmitted a fearful voice and even the pair of opened eyes at the hilt of the sword had suddenly shrunk.


    “Devil yer sword? What is that?” Xuanyuan Wentian roared out.


    “No... That’s not a devil yer sword. Its appearance, aura and profound light are all different, so it’s impossible for it to be a devil yer sword! The existence of devil yer swords had long disappeared from this world!”


    “Kill him and then destroy that swordpletely! Though that is definitely not a devil yer sword, since it’s actually capable of dealing such harm to you, along with that aura that makes me feel extremely ufortable... It might be something simr to a devil yer sword!”


    “Fortunately, his strength is far weaker than yours so this sword doesn’t provide the slightest of threats to you while in his hands. But if someday, itnds in the hands of someone who possesses strengthparable to yours, then it will be huge trouble!” The devil soul in the sword said in a dark voice.


    The voice of the devil soul in the sword clearly carried fear... It was more than just “huge trouble”, it was basically the object it feared the most in its entire life.


    Xuanyuan Wentian fiercely clenched his left hand. The intensified pain caused his face to twist into something akin to a vile ghost and at the same time, it wildly ignited the irritation and anger in his chest. He had clearly be a Devil God, possessing peerless power that could overwhelm everything, yet he still ended up suffering such torturous pain.


    “Yun... Che!!” Xuanyuan Wentian’s killing intent exploded forth from his entire body, causing the ck aura in his surroundings to begin surging in a chaotic manner. He had nned on torturing Yun Che to death but now... He wanted Yun Che to die as quickly as possible! Preventing him from even breathing for a single second, a single moment more in this world!
