Chapter 417 Remnant Soul

"How arrogant! You dare to call yourself the heavens? If I'm not mistaken, you're nothing but a remnant soul. The desolate mountain that sealed you once witnessed an unusual phenomenon, and that's when you escaped."

Wang Xiao had carefully observed the opponent's condition during the battle, so he was preparing to go all out and take him down as quickly as possible. Otherwise, if the commotion became too big and attracted the enemy's forces, it would be troublesome.

"So what if you're a remnant soul? In the past, an ant like you wouldn't even catch my eye. A sneeze from you could wipe out tens of thousands of you, yet you dare to harbor such thoughts... Disgusting aura!" The Dark Demon King's attention was drawn to him as he put Yuan Yuan away, and his brows furrowed instantly. "So you're a descendant of the Fang family. No wonder you're so repulsive!"

The Dark Demon King suddenly flew into a rage, and dozens of vengeful spirits burst out from his body. After a while, they became ethereal again and firmly surrounded the target.

When Wang Xiao encountered the same method used by the Nascent Soul Saint Child again, although he had experience dealing with it, it wasn't so easy to counter. This was because the two methods were vastly different in terms of both level of understanding and application.

"Certainly!"

Wang Xiao suddenly roared, causing the power of spacetime to surge and freezing all the attacking vengeful spirits. A look of horror flashed in the Dark Demon King's eyes, and he quickly took action before his body was affected.

"Buzz!"

The Dark Demon King suddenly felt dizzy, his body stiffened, and his thoughts froze.

"Phew... multitasking, simultaneously mobilizing the power of spacetime and expanding a domain, really takes a lot of energy."

Wang Xiao took a deep breath, and Da Hei responded to the summons, then flicked his wrist and hurled it. The spear, like a dragon, tore through space, even ripping a gash in the Dark Demon King's brow. Just as it was about to be pierced through, the Dark Demon King broke free of his restraints, leaning back to dodge the fatal blow.

"Tick...tick..."

Blood dripped incessantly, leaving a smooth wound on the Dark Demon King's狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious/hideous) face, filled with disbelief.

"The power of time and space... Good, very good! I never thought I would almost fall to a young man one day."

The Dark Demon King wiped his wound, then flung it out, the blood transforming into blooming lotus flowers in the air. Explosions rang out continuously, and the entire palace was instantly reduced to ruins.

The Dark Demon King continued his actions, constantly gathering spiritual energy. Soon, a sacred demonic lotus flower, a fusion of crimson and darkness, took shape. The holy and peaceful aura and the overwhelming demonic energy both opposed and merged, their intertwining giving rise to an extremely terrifying power.

Wang Xiao emerged from the smoke and dust, hovering high in the sky. After looking around, he immediately activated the Heavenly Dao Four Symbols Technique. He was going to use the most powerful means to block any hope of his opponent's escape.

"You are that person's successor!"

The Dark Demon King caught a familiar scent, and a tidal wave of emotions surged within him, including a hint of fear that he himself might not even realize.

Because at the level of his true form, everything he did had reached a state of perfection. To those people, who could possibly be much stronger than whom? A conventional battle would clearly be difficult to determine a winner, and even if they won, it would be hard to kill them. This is why, after the Dark Demon King was defeated, Fang Tianming and the others could only use the Four Directions Sealing King Formation to seal him away while he was extremely weak. Even so, after a long period of time, the Dark Demon King's true form was still alive and was still searching for a chance to escape.

However, the fact that someone had once attacked him from below cast a shadow over his heart.

That person was himself!

"By a twist of fate, destiny plays tricks on us. I met him when I first descended to this world, and now I've met you. How familiar this scene seems! I cannot keep you here today!"

One second the Dark Demon King was sighing, the next he roared, his eyes bloodshot and filled with madness. His blood and spiritual energy boiled, and two chaotic seals condensed, one above the other, revolving around the already formed lotus flower.

"Dragon and Tiger Heaven-Suppressing Seal!"

"The Blood Seal of Chaos Gods and Demons!"

The divine seal, with its dragon coiled and tiger crouching, roaring and dragon howling, descended from the sky, its majestic and imposing aura seemingly capable of suppressing everything.

The other side is like a primordial demon god born from chaos, whose blood seal can pierce through a region of heaven and earth.

This commotion alarmed almost everyone in the Chaotic Sky City. Whether they were surrendered human villains or stationed demon army, they all took to the air to watch this breathtaking scene.

"boom!"

Amid the explosion, the entire city lord's mansion was razed to the ground, and nearly a hundred people were blown to pieces by the aftershocks.

Wang Xiaofu kept a close eye on the situation on the ground from the sky. After locking onto the figure of the Dark Demon King, he ignored the heaving of his chest and whether the other party was alive or dead, and immediately prepared to unleash another Dragon Fist.

An Quan, who had been away for some time, returned and, after glancing around the area, shouted sternly, "You dare to do this, you brat!"

"Humph!"

Wang Xiao laughed contemptuously, threw a punch, and the illusory image of the Azure Dragon pierced through the body of the Dark Demon King with precision. He then immediately used the Shadow Concealment Divine Skill.

"You little thief!"

An Quan instantly appeared where Wang Xiao was standing, but his claws missed their mark, and he was furious, his eyes blazing with anger. An Quan was unable to spare any attention and could only let Wang Xiao escape, then anxiously went to Liao Ruan's side.

At this moment, Liao Ruan was motionless, his body was broken, his heart had stopped, and even his primordial spirit was shattered.

Seeing that Liao Ruan, who held the hope of the Dark Demon King's resurrection, was already dead, An Quan gritted his teeth and his eyes were bloodshot. He vowed to kill Wang Xiao to avenge his hatred.

Just as he was about to leave, suddenly, a life force pulsed deep within Liao Ruan's shattered primordial spirit. This aura was extremely familiar to An Quan, even making him feel a sense of oppression. However, there was not a trace of suppressed anger on his face; even his previous grief and resentment had vanished, replaced by boundless joy and excitement.

The Dark Demon King has risen from the ashes!

One after another, spiritual entities flew out from Liao Ruan's primordial spirit and condensed into a ball, gradually taking on a blurry outline, while boundless resentment echoed between heaven and earth.

"Yuan Jun... Yun Kong... you brat, you must die!"

"Crack!"

The space suddenly shattered, and a black spear shot out, shattering the Dark Demon King's spiritual body once again.

"You have committed an unforgivable crime by offending the Heavenly King!"

An Quan was furious. He hadn't expected Wang Xiao not only to not run away, but to dare to launch a sneak attack from the shadows. In his rage, he unleashed a terrifying aura, his speed increasing dramatically. His withered hand sealed off the heavens and earth, leaving no way to dodge.

Wang Xiao exchanged a palm strike with him, his blood and qi surging, and he immediately used the force of the palm strike to retreat.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Having witnessed the uncanny nature of the Shadow Concealment Technique, An Quan immediately unleashed his senses and focused all his energy on locking onto Wang Xiao's location.

Seeing An Quan clinging to him like a leech, Wang Xiao knew he was no match for him, so he could only flee while healing his injuries.
