Chapter 249 The District of Sky Demon (1/2)

Shen Lian stood on the rooftop, but he was not only on the rooftop. He was one with the temple, the far away sunset, and everything in the world.

He zoned out of being ”me”, and the world stood out in contrast. Yanxu seemed out of place.

This was not something that could be achieved with just any supernatural power or Dao technique; it was ”force”.

Despite the extremely advanced state that Shen Lian was at, he felt uncomfortable still. That was when he finally realized what a scary character Yanxu was, and how his capabilities were beyond his imagination.

This force that blended in amidst the heaven and earth did not affect Yanxu at all, it was as though he did not exist in the heaven and earth, and hence there was no need to be extracted from it.

He turned into a Sky Demon and traveled between the three realms. Things were always going the way he wanted them to. Shen Lian had never encountered such a difficult opponent before; he was unpredictable and was in command of an array of secret techniques. It was hard to guard against him.

Earlier, it was merely the invasion of some negligible demonic thoughts. If it was not for the fact that his spirit was as alert as that of deities, he would have fallen prey to Yanxu's technique.

Shen Lian stood at the high ground while Yanxu was standing down below. He should be able to see his every move and even the smallest action would not be able to escape Shen Lian's eyes. However, Shen Lian did not feel like he had the upper hand at all.

He was merely looking at what Yanxu had decided to let him see, and the real Yanxu was not visible to him.

Shen Lian stopped waiting, and yet he could not leave. He needed to wait until the battle between the Empress and Huang Longzi had come to an end.

Yanxu seemed to know what he was thinking and smiled, ”Little Lian, you can still escape if you leave now. Why are you still staying put? There is nothing more precious than your life. It can't be you are trying to replicate what my Senior Apprentice-Brother did?”

Shen Lian was slightly angered when he mentioned Zhang Ruoxu. He was never like that, but at that moment, he could not hold back and he did not want to hold back.

The sound of the sword could be heard amidst the night breeze, it sounded like a tragic ancient tune.

The last ray from the setting sun faded away, and night had fallen as accompanied by the sound of the sword.

The world fell into darkness, Shen Lian included.

Shen Lian heard a long sigh. That was when he understood that it was not easy for him to leave from the moment Yanxu had spoken.

Good thing that he was not planning to escape. Despite that, he was not infuriated, but he felt the dark abyss of his heart. It was bottomless.

The sword gleam traveled in the dark sky, and it was just as the stars that shone brightly in the night sky; it pierced through the night sky and brought forth endless killing vibes.

However, Shen Lian sensed that the sword gleam did not manage to slash away anything, not even the demons summoned by Yanxu.

If his guess was right, this was an impressive supernatural power known as ”The District of Sky Demon” that was part of the Free Form Incarnation. It was akin to a place of enlightenment of the holy deities.

This was similar to the space created by Zhao Xiaoyu that he was trapped in back then, and he only managed to escape from it due to his success in cultivating the Taixu Strategy.

He was a lot stronger than back then, but Zhao Xiaoyu was incomparable with Yanxu.

”Little Lian, you are a lot like me. Regardless of how treacherous the situation is, it will never be a hopeless situation for you. However, I really want to see how you would escape from my District of Sky Demon today,” Yanxu's voice was right in front of Shen Lian. At that moment, any cultivator would have slashed at it mercilessly.
