Once the critical flaw is found, the subsequent breakthrough becomes much less complicated.
Ling Xiao had already identified the key flaw. As long as he used Yuan Zun’s powerful true essence for a forceful breakthrough, the Ten Thousand Beasts Blood Refining Array would quickly collapse.
During the wait, he looked up at the sky.
The battle was still ongoing.
The woman bore many wounds, and they were growing increasingly severe.
Although the Evil Beast Demon King also had some wounds, thanks to the replenishment from the Ten Thousand Beasts Blood Refining Array, his injuries continuously healed, and his true essence kept recovering, so he paid them no mind.
“It’s time!”
The Evil Beast Demon King was constantly draining the woman’s true essence. When he noticed her movements slowing and the glow of her martial soul dimming, he knew his opportunity had arrived.
Kill this woman in one strike, then flee this place!
That was his plan.
After this battle, Thousand Ghost Forest would likely become the target of every martial artist on the Heavenly Dragon Continent, and he could no longer stay.
Having witnessed this woman’s cultivation, the Evil Beast Demon King grew even more cautious. If even the weakest of the twelve sects, Moonlight Sect, had a powerhouse at the Yin-Yang Realm, who could guarantee the other sects didn’t have similar experts?
This time, he had the advantage thanks to the Ten Thousand Beasts Blood Refining Array. Next time, he might not be so lucky.
“Master, we need to hurry, or that woman will die.”
Ling Xiao could sense that the Evil Beast Demon King had been holding back a trump card, waiting for the moment when the woman was at her weakest.
Now that moment had come, he would surely unleash his ultimate killing technique.
Unless the woman had some other means, she was likely in grave danger.
“Don’t rush me. With this body of mine, preserving even a bit of true essence isn’t easy. Just wait a little longer.”
Yuan Zun grumbled but still quickened his pace.
He knew full well that, with his current strength, he was no match for the Evil Beast Demon King. If that woman died, both he and Ling Xiao would perish.
Given the Evil Beast Demon King’s nature, he would never let them go, that much was certain.
In the array stone, energy was steadily accumulating, emitting a dazzling light.
Above in the sky, the Evil Beast Demon King’s body radiated an even more brilliant black light, with powerful energy surging forth, turning the entire sky black.
Though it was clearly daytime, the world seemed to plunge into complete darkness.
“To force this king to use this move, you should be satisfied even in death.”
The Evil Beast Demon King’s massive head swayed, his voice booming like thunder.
The woman said nothing, only watching him warily.
Ling Xiao frowned slightly. He could sense a terrifyingly powerful force gathering within the woman’s body, but this energy was too immense, clearly a move meant to take both herself and her enemy down together.
He could roughly understand her mindset: if she couldn’t defeat her opponent, she’d rather perish together with him.
Such a person was truly admirable.
Live as a hero among men, die as a titan among ghosts!
A true heroine, no less than any man.
Suddenly, the pervasive black light vanished, replaced by a black spear floating in midair.
The spear emitted the roars and howls of wild beasts.
This spear was forged from the souls of countless demonic beasts, ferocious beasts, and even vile beasts, infused with the Evil Beast Demon King’s true essence, exuding an aura of absolute evil and immense pressure.
“It’s done!”
At the same moment, Yuan Zun shouted.
Ling Xiao stopped watching the battle in the sky, took the array stone from Yuan Zun, spread his wings, and flew swiftly in a certain direction.
In the sky, the black spear trembled continuously. The woman’s face showed a mix of worry and resolve.
“Hahaha, this ‘Ten Thousand Evils Beast Soul Spear’ will not only kill you but also drain all the essence from your body. I can’t wait to see you reduced to a withered husk, hahaha, it’ll be quite adorable, won’t it?”
The Evil Beast Demon King laughed maniacally.
The outcome was decided, and he had nothing to worry about.
As for the “ant” on the ground, he didn’t even spare a thought.
Just an ant, why bother caring?
He crushed countless ants underfoot every day without a care.
“Go!”
As Ling Xiao threw the array stone into the flaw, the black spear in the sky shot forward, appearing before the woman in an instant.
Its speed was like teleportation, impossible to defend against.
“Ten Thousand Evils Beast Soul Spear! Obliterate her!”
The Evil Beast Demon King’s roar echoed through the heavens, like rolling thunder.
Ling Xiao could only turn and flee desperately, yet a smug expression crossed his face.
The ant dismissed by the Evil Beast Demon King might just become the key to this battle!
As the black spear thrust forward, the woman refused to sit idly by and chose to counterattack.
The energy she had been gathering was unleashed.
“Moonlight Sword Art: Radiant Moon Soars!”
A radiant moon appeared out of nowhere.
From the moon, countless swords flew out like a swarm of locusts, dense and overwhelming, blotting out the sky.
The sky, which had just brightened, plunged back into darkness.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Continuous collisions rang out.
The sword beams shot from the moon struck the black spear, attempting to block it.
The whistling of the sword beams created gusts of fierce wind.
But it was futile.
The black spear was simply too terrifying. Despite the constant impacts, its speed only slowed slightly, and its glow dimmed just a fraction.
Piercing through the rain of swords, the black spear, with unstoppable momentum, shattered the woman’s Moon Shield, her protective true essence, and then pierced through her body.
Pfft!
Bright red blood fell from the sky, strikingly vivid!
In that moment, the Evil Beast Demon King let his guard down.
The Ten Thousand Evils Beast Soul Spear had struck the woman, and her essence was being drained by the spear. His victory was assured.
But in that fleeting moment of relaxation, he paid a heavy price.
Boom!
The Ten Thousand Beasts Blood Refining Array exploded!
The Evil Beast Demon King controlled the array with his soul, so when the array was destroyed, he suffered severe damage.
In that split second of opportunity, the woman seized her chance.
“Moonlight Sword Art: Falling Moon Strike!”
Her entire body merged into a dazzling moonlight.
She became a sword!
Or perhaps, she became the moonlight itself!
She charged toward the Evil Beast Demon King with unstoppable resolve.
The moment she unleashed this move, a look of terror appeared on the Evil Beast Demon King’s face.
All three of his heads bore the same expression.
“Boom!”
The move was too fast.
The Evil Beast Demon King tried to dodge in haste, but the sword struck true, destroying two of his heads and most of his body.
“Roar!”
A piercing scream of agony echoed through the sky.
In an instant, he transformed into a streak of black light and swiftly vanished into the horizon.
Gravely wounded, the Evil Beast Demon King could no longer continue the fight.
