Chapter 289: An Easy Crush!

He paused slightly, then said sincerely with a face full of earnestness, "The Demon Slayer King might have already known that our various forces have been plotting against the Tianluo Continent for many years, expending countless efforts here. Now that the Demon Slayer King wishes to unify Tianluo, we are also willing to put aside past grievances and end the perennial conflicts on the Tianluo Continent. Therefore, we hope that for the sake of Tianluo's peace, the Demon Slayer King should put away his desire for war."

As the voice of Patriarch Danyang resounded, the entire world fell silent for a moment. Countless people anxiously watched Jiang Yun. If a Celestial Supreme took action, the heavens and earth would undoubtedly collapse, and no one present could guarantee their safety.

Moreover, the posture of Patriarch Danyang and the others was extremely humble, almost devoid of conditions, merely requesting a cessation of hostilities and a conversation, almost equivalent to admitting defeat.

"Hehe, hahahahaha..."

Jiang Yun was stunned for a moment, then swept his gaze over the eight Celestial Supremes. After a burst of mocking laughter echoed across the heavens and earth, he slowly shook his head and said in a calm voice, "For the sake of Tianluo Continent's peace, I'll give you a day to take your people and get out of Tianluo Continent."

As soon as Jiang Yun said these words, the entire world fell silent. Countless experts wiped their cold sweat away.

No one had expected that even with the eight Celestial Supremes led by the Ghost Emperor showing signs of conceding, Jiang Yun would still be so domineering, not giving them any face and utterly breaking ties with a single sentence.

These words left no room for negotiations between the two sides, and including the Xuanlong Army, there were a total of ten Celestial Supremes present. If a battle broke out, the entire Northern Domain could be instantaneously shattered!

Jiang Yun's voice echoed across the Northern Domain, and at that moment, countless people held their breath. No one had anticipated that Jiang Yun would be so forceful. Faced with their concession, he showed no hesitation and took the most hardline stance.

In front of Jiang Yun, the faces of the eight Celestial Supremes, including the Ghost Emperor and Patriarch Danyang, turned slightly somber, their eyes showing anger.

"Jiang Yun, you are too much!"

Hearing their roars, Jiang Yun slowly rose from his throne, showing a gentle smile. However, at this moment, a chill surged in their hearts.

In the next second, Jiang Yun's figure disappeared from everyone's sight. In front of Venerable Purple Thunder, the space distorted, and a palm softly pressed against Venerable Purple Thunder's chest.

"Boom!"

Under countless gazes, Venerable Purple Thunder seemed to have been hit by something heavy, his entire chest collapsing. He turned into a stream of light, crashing into the ground below, creating huge cracks.

"Ugh~~"

Lying on the ground, Venerable Purple Thunder let out painful, guttural cries. His face turned horrifyingly purple-red. At this moment, he felt all his spiritual power dissipating, completely losing his combat power.

If it weren't for the vast life force of a Celestial Supreme, he would have already been dead.

On the Northern Domain, everyone watched this scene with extreme tension. From Jiang Yun's action to Venerable Purple Thunder losing his combat power, it was only a blink of an eye. Such a swift event left everyone dumbfounded.

Everyone knew Jiang Yun was strong. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become the Demon Slayer King. But no one expected him to be this strong. A Ling-grade Celestial Supreme in his hands was like an ant, easily crushed.

The Ghost Emperor's grayish-white eyes stared at Jiang Yun in dread, his deep voice slowly resounding, "Jiang Yun, we did not provoke you, but you started a war on Tianluo Continent without reason and attacked Venerable Purple Thunder so viciously. Don't you think you're being too tyrannical?"

As his voice fell, grayish-white spiritual power surged out of his body. His form rapidly transformed into a gem-like spiritual entity, his eyes flashing with spiritual light that disturbed the void. An incredibly terrifying spiritual pressure enveloped the Northern Domain.

Simultaneously, Patriarch Danyang, White Tiger King, and others, frightened by Purple Thunder's fate, also unleashed their Heavenly Sovereign Spiritual Forms. For a moment, the pressure was immense as seven Celestial Supremes simultaneously took action, creating a world-shaking scene.

Facing such a terrifying formation, Jiang Yun remained calm, watching them gather their strength with a composed expression, showing no sign of worry.

"Jiang Yun, you are too much, giving us no way out. Let us test the strength of the Demon Slayer King!"

"Boom!"

As the seven unleashed their Heavenly Sovereign Spiritual Forms, seven terrifying spiritual power waves shot into the sky. The radiant gem-like beams tore through the void, converging into a spiritual torrent surging towards Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun slowly raised his head, watching the terrifying beam enough to destroy the Northern Domain, his face calm without any ripple of emotion. The dazzling beam fell, and in the instant it exploded, everyone instinctively looked away.

"Your skills are not as good as your mouths. I overestimated you. With this level of strength, you'd only be cannon fodder in the Northern Battlefield!"

In the Northern Domain, Jiang Yun's voice echoed. Everyone looked again to see in the center of the dazzling light, a milky-white beam rapidly growing. The next moment, a sharp spear beam broke through the spiritual beam.

A white flaming long spear rushed towards the seven. Its sharp tip, white flame-wreathed shaft, and ancient carved handle...

Sensing the spear's terrifying sharpness, the Ghost Emperor, as the first to react, created a colossal apparition thousands of feet tall. The apparition, clad in imperial robes and crown, appeared between heaven and earth.

"Yama Apparition, Annihilate Ghost Emperor Sword!"

The Yama Apparition glared angrily, its mere gaze inducing fear. The pitch-black spiritual power around it transformed into a giant sword. The sword's edge, wherever it passed, cut through the void.

"Boom!"

At the moment of contact between the spear tip and the sword blade, their accumulated powers exploded. The space shattered, and layers of spiritual waves spread in all directions.

Upon contact, feeling the scorching heat from the spear, the Ghost Emperor's face changed drastically. He shouted in a panic, "Everyone, attack with all your might, or we will die!"

As soon as he finished, the white spear beam shattered the sword and continued towards the seven.

Seeing this, Patriarch Danyang and the six hurriedly deployed their Supreme Apparitions. The Ghost Emperor, with a grave expression, grasped a gray-white bone disc.

The bone disc had a smooth mirror surface and ancient carvings along its edge, faintly emitting a formidable spiritual wave.

As this ancient mirror appeared, Jiang Yun sensed it and coldly remarked, "A Celestial-grade absolute treasure, wasted in your hands!"

This Ghost Emperor had only recently broken through to Celestial-grade, being among the weaker ones. Yet, he possessed such a rare Celestial treasure, an unexpected surprise.

Having this ultimate treasure as a trump card, the Ghost Emperor decided to fight one last time despite knowing Jiang Yun was behind Mandala.

With the bone mirror in hand, a grim expression appeared on the Ghost Emperor's face. He quickly formed a seal with his hands, and the bone mirror turned into white light, soaring into the sky. Within moments, it expanded into a thousand-foot mirror, hovering in the sky.

"Together, attack him!"

The Ghost Emperor shouted at the six behind him. Knowing the bone mirror was their last hope, they nodded ruthlessly, quickly forming seals, and seven majestic beams merged into the giant bone mirror.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz!!!"

As the seven spiritual beams merged into the mirror, ripples spread out, compressing an immense spiritual power that caused the space around the mirror to show signs of collapse, unable to withstand the power.

The seven had disparate cultivation paths, making their spiritual power prone to conflict. However, this wondrous bone mirror perfectly merged their powers, an impressive feat.

At this moment, even a peak Celestial-grade supreme had to take the bone mirror's power seriously.

In the Northern Domain, many watching experts had solemn expressions. This move clearly represented the old powers' last resort, indicating the decisive moment of the battle.

Rumbling filled the air as endless spiritual power coalesced into spiritual lightning, flashing with destructive force.

Standing under the bone mirror, the Ghost Emperor's face grew colder. He fixed his gaze on Jiang Yun and sinisterly smiled, gently waving his hand.

"Jiang Yun, let's see the power of this ancient Unifying God Mirror. Today, you'll learn the truth of many ants biting an elephant to death!"

As his words fell, the bone mirror trembled. The light from the mirror seemed to pierce space, locking onto Jiang Yun.

"Boom!"

In the next moment, the brilliant light on the bone mirror shrank wildly. The thousands of feet wide beam compressed into a palm-sized silver beam.

Though the beam's size reduced drastically, the moment it shot out, the space tore apart. Wherever it passed, everything faced annihilation, with black ripples resembling terrifying black holes.

"Many ants biting an elephant to death?"

Jiang Yun sneered, his eyes calm. In the next moment, his hand emitted white flames, unleashing boundless spiritual light. His palm seemed to form a space, dark as a black hole, colliding with the silver beam.

Contrary to expectations, no explosion occurred. The once space-rending silver beam floated obediently in Jiang Yun's palm, circling aimlessly.

Anyone adept in space manipulation would realize that Jiang Yun had banished the silver beam to another space.

"This is impossible..."

The Ghost Emperor, seeing this, screamed in disbelief. The attack he prized as his trump card was easily neutralized by Jiang Yun, causing no harm.

Behind him, Patriarch Danyang and others felt a chill rising from their feet.

"Return!"

Jiang Yun smiled mysteriously and flicked his fingers. The silver beam in his palm rebounded, curving perfectly, bypassing the oncoming beam, and roared back to the seven channeling spiritual power into the mirror.

"Not good, move!"

Despite their status as Celestial Supremes, they reacted swiftly. They hastily withdrew their palms and fled, but the silver beam had already erupted just as they turned.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The silver light, like an exploding sun, released endless light and heat in an instant. Amidst the blinding glow, muffled sounds and ground tremors echoed, and as the light faded, everyone saw seven more deep holes next to Venerable Purple Thunder. The seven leaders within those pits were severely injured and in a wretched state.

In a blink, the previously imposing Celestial Supremes had been easily defeated by Jiang Yun. Everyone now had a new understanding of the formidable Demon Slayer King.

Though the seven used the ultimate treasure, the Unifying God Mirror, to merge their powers appropriately, the attack, comparable to a peak Celestial-grade strike, was still too weak for Jiang Yun. He absorbed and rebounded it effortlessly.

The bone mirror's attacks, once launched, couldn't be retracted. Thus, after their peak attack, they had no resistance left, allowing Jiang Yun to defeat them all at once.

"This treasure is quite good; it can be a valuable asset for the Heavenly Palace."

High in the sky, Jiang Yun summoned the bone mirror and examined it before storing it away.

"Victory to the Master."

"Invincible Alliance Leader."

Witnessing Jiang Yun's victory, the Xuanlong Army and the Northern Alliance burst into endless cheers. Everyone gazed fanatically at Jiang Yun, fully realizing the terrifying nature of the figure they followed.

Mandala's eyes sparkled with excitement. She had never imagined that the ancient Heavenly Palace's reemergence was so close at hand.
