My Beasts Grind Proficiency For Me

Chapter 345 - 206: Other-Transformation Freedom Demon Heart Escape

A roaring Fire Dragon and a gloomy Demon Saber clashed over the desolate plains.

Whenever the Fire Dragon dissipated, Yang Jing would manipulate it to reform. It even grew more vigorous by igniting the surrounding Demonic Qi, taking on an aura that seemed to set the heavens ablaze and melt the earth.

The Taiyin Demon Qi, once like a cloud, was rapidly burned away like mist under a blazing sun.

The Celestial Demon Sovereign’s expression changed. The Fire Dragon Magical Sword was growing stronger while his Demon Saber’s Blade Gang grew weaker. As one grew, the other waned, and the brilliant, scorching Fire Dragon Magical Sword pressed ever closer to his body.

The searing Fire Element Spiritual Qi even began to invade his body, making him feel as if he were trapped in a furnace.

Even his illusion-wrought face slowly vanished under the corrosion of the Fire Element Spiritual Qi, evaporating into Demonic Qi like shedding skin and revealing his true form.

The Other-Transformed Self-Free Celestial Demon had fair skin and a handsome face. His ears were like a beast’s, pointed and erect, and a vertical eye grew in the center of his forehead.

Cyan Gold Light flickered in Yang Jing’s eyes as his pupils darted about at high speed, memorizing the positions of all the High Tier Celestial Demons in an instant.

"HAH!"

With a loud shout, the dense Fire Element Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth erupted in a chain of explosions, forming a Bingding Fire Cloud that covered the entire battlefield.

Searing True Fire shot hundreds of feet into the sky.

The heavy Demon-Catching Tripod immediately flew into the air. Driven by his Magical Power, it shot out dozens of Spiritual Light Chains in one go. These Spiritual Light Chains shot toward the Celestial Demons.

The Celestial Demons were distracted by the Magical Combat between the two main combatants and never expected Yang Jing to suddenly attack them.

Except for one vigilant Black Evil True Demon, all the other High Tier Celestial Demons were bound tightly by the Spiritual Light Chains.

Yang Jing clapped his hands together, and Great Cave True Thunder surged from his body. The dazzling True Thunder formed into Thunder Arrows that pierced the bodies of these Celestial Demons. They were already struggling to resist the Spiritual Light Chains; hit by the True Thunder, they were instantly pulled into the Pot World of the Demon-Catching Tripod.

The Celestial Demon Sovereign’s eyes widened. The Celestial Demons he had brought with such confidence were, in the blink of an eye, reduced to a single one.

Having lost these High Tier Celestial Demons, he lost control over nearly half of the Low-level Celestial Demons in the Demon Realm.

Before he could react, a flame flickered silently, and Yang Jing appeared behind him. The Sword Gang of the Celestial Waterfall Sword in his hand surged as he slashed horizontally at the Celestial Demon Sovereign.

The Five Elements Escape Technique grew faster the denser the corresponding Spiritual Qi.

Yang Jing had just condensed Spiritual Qi to unleash a Bingding Fire Cloud, so the concentration of Fire Element Spiritual Qi here had reached its peak.

Under these conditions, the speed of his Fire Escape was comparable to his Thunder Escape, but it was almost silent, completely lacking the thunderous roar of the latter.

In that instant, the Celestial Demon Sovereign truly felt death’s approach.

His pupils shrank to pinpricks. He instantly activated his Dharma Aspect, and Demonic Qi as heavy as the abyss solidified in an instant, blocking the Celestial Waterfall Sword.

Even a fully powered Dharma Aspect couldn’t withstand the sharpness of the Celestial Waterfall Sword’s blade, let alone one conjured in such haste.

The sharp sword tip pierced into the Dharma Aspect as if it were rotten wood.

"Other-Transformation Freedom Demon Heart Escape!"

The Celestial Demon Sovereign’s face twisted grotesquely as he pushed the Escape Technique to its limit.

The next moment, a severed Demon Arm flew into the air, while the Celestial Demon Sovereign’s figure reappeared a hundred zhang away. He had escaped at the last second, losing only an arm.

Cyan Gold Light flickered in Yang Jing’s eyes, and he instantly locked onto the Celestial Demon Sovereign.

With a flash of lightning, he instantly appeared before the Celestial Demon Sovereign. The Sword Light flared.

"CLANG!"

With a sharp sound, the Sword Gang and Saber Gang tore through each other. The blades of the Celestial Waterfall Sword and the Demon Saber clashed, erupting in a brilliant shower of sparks.

"You! You actually cut off my arm!"

The eye on the Celestial Demon Sovereign’s forehead opened to its widest, and the muscles on his face twitched and contorted.

The next instant, Yang Jing felt as if he had fallen into Eternal Hell. His surroundings turned into an endless darkness, and countless cyan, black, and pale demon hands reached out from the void, trying to drag him down into the gloom below.

Yang Jing’s eyes snapped open. ’I’ve been hit by an Illusion Technique.’ He didn’t try to break the illusion; instead, he instantly used Thunder Escape to get away.

A sharp glint grazed his face, leaving a bloody gash.

The next moment, surging Celestial True Gang poured out of him, and the surrounding darkness instantly and rapidly vanished.

Yang Jing stood firm in the sky. With a flash of lightning, he once again vanished from his spot.

A terrifying Dharma Aspect Demon Claw instantly grabbed the position where he had just been, crushing the air.

Seeing that even his point-blank Illusion Technique couldn’t trap this Daoist for long, the Celestial Demon Sovereign knew it was nearly impossible to defeat him in the Nine Heavens World.

’If I keep fighting, I’ll probably die. But the Other-Transformation Freedom Demon Heart Escape can’t be used casually in the Nine Heavens World. Every use comes at a great cost.’

The next instant, Yang Jing formed a Sword Pointing hand seal, and five Five Elements Magical Swords immediately materialized around him.

"HAH!"

The Magic Swords shot out with the force of Sword Qi Thunder Sound, carving sharp arcs through the air as they flew at the Other-Transformed Self-Free Celestial Demon from all directions.

He himself used Thunder Escape again, instantly appearing behind the Celestial Demon Sovereign.

Suddenly, the Celestial Demon Sovereign, who was surrounded by the five Flying Swords, flickered and transformed into the Black Heaven True Demon that had already fled to the edge of the Demon Realm.

The Black Heaven True Demon’s Power might be first-rate among Outer Celestial Demons, but how could it possibly block a full-power strike from Yang Jing?

Even though it pushed its Nine Nether Black Slaughter to the absolute limit, it was still run through by the five Five Elements Magical Swords. The sharp Magic Swords, empowered by the Exorcism and Binding Charm Talent, were something its Nine Nether Black Slaughter was completely unable to block.

Yang Jing whipped his head around and found that the Celestial Demon Sovereign had swapped places with the Black Heaven True Demon and was now at the edge of the Demon Realm.

It sealed the wound on its severed arm with Demonic Qi and glared viciously at Yang Jing.

"You’ve won today’s battle, but I will be back for you soon."

Yang Jing’s response was a dazzling, Dragon-shaped Taixiao True Thunder.

The Celestial Demon Sovereign’s figure tipped back and fell into the Demon Realm. The moment he was back inside, the billowing Demonic Qi in the Demon Realm formed a storm and poured into his body.

He caught the Taixiao True Thunder with one hand. The ceaselessly crackling True Thunder in his palm began to shrink rapidly until it finally became a faint arc of electricity and vanished into the air.

"The Demon Realm is no place for the True Thunder of your Nine Heavens World to run rampant."

The next instant, the Celestial Demon Sovereign used the Free Celestial Demon’s Demon Heart Escape and vanished. A severed arm was a serious injury even for a Celestial Demon with a physical body, not to mention the Abnormal Power that constantly lingered on the wound.

This Abnormal Power was continuously trying to drill into his body from the wound and disperse his Demonic Qi. He had to deal with it quickly.

Yinjiao, riding his Cloud Escape, flew to Yang Jing’s side.

"Master."

Yang Jing wiped the trace of blood from his face. Nourished by his Celestial True Gang, the small wound had already healed.

If not for his tough physical body, enhanced by the Copper Head and Iron Arm Talent, that tiny graze would have scraped the entire bone from his cheek.

"I’m fine."

He turned and walked over to the Black Heaven True Demon.

After realizing that the Black Heaven True Demon and the Celestial Demon Sovereign had switched places, he had immediately diverted the Flying Swords and blunted their edges, sparing the Black Heaven True Demon’s life.

"I didn’t expect your Sovereign to abandon you at the last moment. For a noble being like an Other-Transformed Self-Free Celestial Demon to risk entering a Demon Realm, what exactly is his purpose?"

Yang Jing asked.

If they knew there was an Other-Transformed Self-Free Celestial Demon—one of the Four Celestial Princes—in this Demon Realm, the Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the Six Sects would absolutely enter the Demon Realm personally to capture it.

The status of this Demon was far beyond that of an ordinary Celestial Demon. To enter the Nine Yang Demon Realm, a place only Foundation Establishment Great Demons could step into, was to completely leave the protection of the Nascent Soul True Demons.

"Hmph, why should I tell you?"

The Black Heaven True Demon could feel an Abnormal Power on the five Magic Swords that was constantly dispersing its Demonic Qi.

"CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!"

Yang Jing clapped his hands repeatedly.

"To think that there’s still such a loyal subject in this Demon Country."

"Hehehe, compared to that self-important fool, I just want all of you human Cultivators to die, that’s all."

The Black Heaven True Demon laughed wildly and suddenly agitated the Demonic Qi around its body, intending to transform into a bolt of Nine Nether Demon Thunder and take Yang Jing down with it.

Yang Jing made a Sword Pointing hand seal, and the Five Elements Magical Swords spun, shredding the Black Heaven True Demon to pieces. Then, with a flash of blood-red light, he condensed the Demonic Qi from its body into a single Blood Pearl.

「Two hours later.」

Canyuan True Monarch and Meng Sima appeared in the courtyard. The matter was of great importance, so Yang Jing had immediately sent a secret report to Canyuan True Monarch with a Token.

"An Other-Transformed Self-Free Celestial Demon... Yang Jing, are you certain you weren’t mistaken?"

Canyuan True Monarch’s expression was incredibly grave.

Meng Sima’s was as well. The appearance of an Other-Transformed Self-Free Celestial Demon in the Demon Realm suggested that the Celestial Demons were very likely planning a major move.

"True Monarch, this disciple cut this arm from that Celestial Demon."

Yang Jing presented the severed arm.

The Wanhua Child had long been drooling over this arm. He had a premonition that if he could finish Refining the Demonic Qi within it, the Ten Thousand Transformations Demon Prohibition in the Demon-Catching Tripod would immediately reach Perfection, trigger the Spiritual Treasure Tribulation, and transform it into a Tier Three Magical Treasure.

Yang Jing restrained the impatient Wanhua Child. This arm was proof of the Other-Transformed Self-Free Celestial Demon’s existence. It could only be dealt with after being presented to Canyuan True Monarch.

"After this Demon entered the Nine Yang Demon Realm, it subdued numerous High Tier Celestial Demons and established a Demon Country. Its ambitions are not small."

Canyuan True Monarch drew out a wisp of Demonic Qi and observed it carefully.

"It is indeed an Other-Transformed Self-Free Celestial Demon... First, a mysterious Nascent Soul Cultivator, and now an Outer Celestial Demon. According to secret reports from the Western Army Governor’s Mansion, the Royal Court of the Demons is also growing restless. These are truly troubled times."

He returned the arm to Yang Jing.

"It seems the enemies of our Six Sects have all caught wind of something. What I am about to say must not leave this room. It is for your ears only."

Canyuan True Monarch took a deep breath and said,

"Ziyuan Ancestor has only a hundred years of life left."
