Chapter 825: The Four Sacred Beasts Annihilate the Demon
Xiao Ze harnessed the power of 36,500 Saint Flame Army warriors to activate the Starry Sky Diagram, creating an ocean of stellar energy so dense that it seemed to distort the cosmos.
Using the techniques of a Formation Master, Xiao Ze controlled this immense force with unparalleled precision. The Saint Flame Army served as the core, enabling Xiao Ze to manipulate the celestial energy within the Starry Sky Diagram.
This was the Starry Sky Diagram at its peak, just as the Chaos Divine Emperor had envisioned. The only thing missing was a coalition of Heavenly Sovereigns wielding divine artifacts to completely suppress and annihilate enemies within the diagram.
Now, the Starry Sky Diagram wasn't merely an absolute divine ability but a fusion of Formation Master techniques and unparalleled celestial might.
A Boundless Star Domain
Within the vast starry realm, Xiao Ze's power seemed limitless. Even as the Blood Profound Demon Emperor conjured a blood sea spanning hundreds of thousands of miles, attempting to shatter the spatial boundaries, he was unable to breach the diagram's starry domain.
The ancient altar, caught within the celestial field, trembled under the immense force.
The Divine Beasts Gathered on the Altar:
The divine beasts present could only gape in disbelief. Their surroundings had transformed entirely the blood stained lands were gone, replaced by a majestic starry expanse. The gleaming starlight wasn't just beautiful; it radiated an oppressive power, one capable of erasing their very existence.
Even with their formidable physiques and robust life forces, the divine beasts were certain they couldn't withstand even a single wisp of this celestial energy. Yet, in the Starry Sky Diagram, such energy abounded, flowing in countless, immeasurable streams.
Xiao Yan and Yao Lao's Reaction
Amid the gathered divine beasts, Xiao Yan and Yao Lao exchanged a glance, their expressions tinged with bitter smiles.
"This level of power… It's as if we're ants gazing at the heavens."
Even the three Beast Sovereigns, ancient divine beasts whose strength rivaled Heavenly Sovereigns, were left in awe. Their initial concerns about Xiao Ze's ability to confront the Blood Profound Demon Emperor a being a full level higher than Xiao Ze now seemed unfounded.
Recognition of a Divine Ability
The regal phoenix like woman, one of the Beast Sovereigns, spoke after a moment of contemplation.
"This celestial power… It can only be the legendary Starry Sky Diagram, one of the 36 Absolute Divine Abilities, created by the Chaos Divine Emperor."
The refined man in five colored robes nodded in agreement, his expression serious.
Though they were ancient titans of their time, they knew little of the intricacies of human cultivation. However, they were aware of humanity's unparalleled dominance in the Great Thousand World, producing countless geniuses throughout history. Among them were the Nine Emperors, whose names echoed across the ages.
Even the muscular warrior, often blunt and straightforward, admitted gravely:
"If this is truly the Chaos Divine Emperor's creation, then its power is beyond ordinary reckoning. Yet, crossing an entire cultivation tier remains an immense challenge…"
Blood Profound Demon Emperor's Counterattack
The Blood Profound Demon Emperor roared in fury, refusing to believe what was unfolding. A mere Spirit Grade Heavenly Sovereign was forcing him into a corner!
He condensed the blood sea into an immense Blood Demon Hand, its surface writhing with countless blood red runes and radiating a terrifying aura.
"Blood Demon Technique: Blood God Demon Execution Hand!"
The massive hand, covered in ominous energy, surged forth, its crimson glow casting a pall over the starry realm. Even the stars seemed dimmed, as though consumed by its malice.
The Four Sacred Beasts
Xiao Ze remained calm, channeling the power of the Starry Sky Diagram. With a single thought, he summoned the Four Sacred Constellations:
Azure Dragon (East): Vitality and creation.
Vermilion Bird (South): Fierce and blazing.
White Tiger (West): Sharp and unstoppable.
Black Tortoise (North): Steadfast and unyielding.
The Four Sacred Beasts manifested from the endless celestial energy, their unique powers combining to counter the Blood Demon Hand.
The realm trembled as an apocalyptic stellar storm erupted. Entire lower realms would have disintegrated had they been caught in its wake.
Annihilation
In the maelstrom of celestial might, the White Tiger's gleaming claws struck first, rending the Blood Demon Hand asunder with unparalleled sharpness.
"No! Impossible!"
The Blood Profound Demon Emperor's voice echoed in despair as the Azure Dragon's vitality surged, the Vermilion Bird's flames consumed him, and the Black Tortoise's impenetrable force crushed the remnants.
Despite erecting millions of layers of protective demonic energy, the combined assault of the Four Sacred Beasts pierced through, leaving him utterly defenseless.
In his final moments, the Demon Emperor realized the gravity of his mistake. He had underestimated Xiao Ze, dismissing him as a mere Spirit Grade Sovereign. He never imagined a mortal's divine ability could rival the forbidden arts of the Extraterrestrial Demons' most powerful clans.
The Demon Emperor's body was obliterated, and even his demonic soul failed to escape annihilation.
Victory and Aftermath
As the battle ended, Xiao Ze drew a wisp of residual demonic energy and sealed it within his Demon Slayer Command.
Though the Blood Profound Demon Emperor had reached the threshold of becoming a Heaven Demon Emperor, Xiao Ze's mastery of the Starry Sky Diagram, combined with his Saint Flame Army, made him an unmatched force.
With a wave of his sleeve, the brilliant starlight returned to his robes, its power hidden once more.
The divine beasts on the altar remained stunned, struggling to comprehend how a Spirit Grade Sovereign had felled such a formidable Demon Emperor.
Xiao Ze descended gracefully, approaching Xiao Yan and Yao Lao.
"Third Brother, Elder Yao, are you unharmed?"
Xiao Yan's face lit up with relief and joy as he patted Xiao Ze on the shoulder.
"We're fine, thanks to you. You arrived just in time."
Though Xiao Yan was acutely aware of the gulf between their strengths, he couldn't help but feel pride for his younger brother. After all, no matter the power difference, family always stood united.
