Black smoke!
Strangely, the Three-Eyed Demon Lord, who had been tightly wrapped by the Nine Profound Demonic-Slaying Talisman, began to emit billowing black smoke.
The black smoke blotted out the heavens like dark clouds, roaring and churning like raging waves, appearing especially terrifying.
As the dark clouds churned, the demonic aura grew increasingly powerful, the baleful energy more horrifying, containing within it an extremely violent force.
This violent force, like the dark clouds, was madly condensing as if it might explode at any moment.
Below.
Gu Qingfeng looked up at the dark clouds gathering in the sky, rubbed his chin, and said, "This fellow called the Three-Eyed Demon Lord looks pretty formidable."
Beside him, Da Xing the Mad Monk deeply agreed, nodding, "Indeed formidable!"
"This thing should be some kind of Fortune, right?" Gu Qingfeng glanced at the gathering dark clouds and asked, "What kind of Fortune?"
"What Fortune? You ask me, who should I ask? This old monk can't figure it out right away. However, judging by this demonic aura and baleful energy, this Fortune is probably not just ordinarily terrifying!"
Da Xing the Mad Monk swallowed hard, then cursed with a displeased grin, "Damn it all! This Three-Eyed Demon Lord's existence is truly remarkable. Not only does he possess the innate phenomena of the Earth Fiend Crimson Eye, but he even obtained a treasure like the Nine Nether Banner. Managing to create an Original Sin Retribution Body is one thing, but to actually harbor such a terrifying Fortune on his person!"
As he spoke, Da Xing the Mad Monk suddenly stopped.
In that instant, a deafening, violent roar erupted, accompanied by an explosive surge of violent and terrifying power. The Nine Profound Demonic-Slaying Talisman enveloping the Three-Eyed Demon Lord was instantly blasted into scattered dust by the erupting force.
Witnessing this scene, everyone was stunned, as if they could not believe their own eyes.
One must know that the Nine Profound Demonic-Slaying Talisman was a sect-suppressing treasure artifact, personally refined by the founding ancestor of the Longevity Pavilion. Lady Water Mirror had also nurtured it for countless years. Its power was so great that even Eastern Peak Great Emperor Zhuge Yun and Pure Robe Bodhisattva present were quite wary of it. Yet now, it had been shattered into dust by the force erupted from the Three-Eyed Demon Lord.
Had they not seen it with their own eyes, no one would dare believe this was true. Even now, witnessing it firsthand, they found it utterly unbelievable.
What kind of power could possibly be so terrifying?
The black smoke boiled, the dark clouds churned, the demonic aura roared, and the baleful energy howled!
Everyone looked over. After the explosion of the Nine Profound Demonic-Slaying Talisman, the figure of the Three-Eyed Demon Lord reappeared.
His massive nine-meter-tall body was clad in majestic crimson armor, with nine great banners hanging behind him. Standing amidst the dark clouds, he looked ferocious and vicious, the very image of a legendary peerless Demon God.
Within the scene.
Eastern Peak Great Emperor Zhuge Yun, Pure Robe Bodhisattva, and the others gazed at the Three-Eyed Demon Lord before them, their expressions changing repeatedly. Clearly, the strength displayed by the Three-Eyed Demon Lord was even greater than they had imagined.
If even they reacted this way, needless to say for Lady Water Mirror.
At this moment.
Lady Water Mirror appeared somewhat disheveled, her face deathly pale without a trace of blood, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. Clutching her chest, she stared at the Three-Eyed Demon Lord with a horrified, incredulous gaze.
No one understood better than her how powerful the Nine Profound Demonic-Slaying Talisman was. And no one found it harder to believe than her that the talisman that had accompanied her for a lifetime had just been shattered into dust by the Three-Eyed Demon Lord.
That was not the important part.
The important part was that the Nine Profound Demonic-Slaying Talisman was not only a treasure artifact she had nurtured for many years, but also her life-bound treasure artifact, fused with her being, inseparable.
Now that her life-bound treasure was destroyed, her physical body suffered a tremendous backlash.
Her mind was unsettled, her dantian trembled, and her spiritual power was somewhat chaotic.
"Heh heh heh heh!" From amidst the dark clouds filling the sky, the Three-Eyed Demon Lord stood tall, letting out a maniacal laugh, and shouted, "This lord possesses the Overwhelming Evil Might of the Great Demon! What can a mere little treasure artifact like yours do to me?! Heh heh heh heh!"
If witnessing Lady Water Mirror's Nine Profound Demonic-Slaying Talisman being utterly annihilated by the Three-Eyed Demon Lord's terrifying power had caused Eastern Peak Great Emperor Zhuge Yun, Pure Robe Bodhisattva, and the others to change expressions drastically, then now, hearing the words 'Overwhelming Evil Might of the Great Demon' from the Three-Eyed Demon Lord's mouth, it was no longer just a drastic change in expression. They felt their scalps go numb, a chill running down their spines.
Not only them, but even Da Xing the Mad Monk, upon hearing the words 'Overwhelming Evil Might of the Great Demon', couldn't help but suck in a cold breath, murmuring in horror, "Buddha above, earlier this old monk only suspected... never expected... it truly is the Overwhelming Evil Might of the Great Demon!"
As the saying goes, ignorance breeds fearlessness.
Gu Qingfeng had never heard of the 'Overwhelming Evil Might of the Great Demon' and didn't know what these words represented. Seeing Da Xing the Mad Monk's terrified expression, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is the Overwhelming Evil Might of the Great Demon?"
"You, kid, don't even know about the Overwhelming Evil Might of the Great Demon?"
Gu Qingfeng shook his head. He really didn't know; he had never even heard of it before.
Da Xing the Mad Monk knew that this fellow Gu Qingfeng only ever had eyes for women and fine wine, with no interest in anything else. So he didn't say much more, explaining, "The Overwhelming Evil Might of the Great Demon is a type of Fortune!"
Gu Qingfeng looked up again, gazing at the rolling dark clouds blotting out the sky. "What the hell kind of Fortune is this?"
"What kind of Fortune? To put it simply, it's a legendary Great Dao Fortune. How to explain this thing... let me put it to you this way." Da Xing the Mad Monk said, "This Fortune, the Overwhelming Evil Might of the Great Demon, is of the same ilk as the 'From Heaven to Hell' on your body, kid, and the 'Avici Asura', including the 'Devouring Heaven and Earth Blood Glutton'—all are that same damn kind of terrifying existence!"
Gu Qingfeng nodded. Hearing Da Xing the Mad Monk put it this way, he understood somewhat.
"Heh heh heh heh!!" The Three-Eyed Demon Lord laughed maniacally, his figure then vanishing. In the sky, only black smoke pervaded, only dark clouds churned, only demonic aura roared, only baleful energy howled.
The severely injured Lady Water Mirror thought, *This is bad*. She had assumed the Three-Eyed Demon Lord was going to charge into the formation to seize the Seven-Colored Lotus. However, when the Three-Eyed Demon Lord's figure appeared before her, she realized he was not targeting the Seven-Colored Lotus, but intended to eradicate her!
"Little lady! Perish! Now!"
As the Three-Eyed Demon Lord raised his arm, he stirred the rolling dark clouds. When his five fingers spread open, the rolling dark clouds madly condensed between them, forming in the blink of an eye a massive swirling vortex of dark clouds, seemingly containing the power of overwhelming demonic aura and baleful energy, directly smashing down towards Lady Water Mirror below.
Lady Water Mirror had no time to dodge; she could only brace herself!
Even though she was severely injured now, she could only brace herself!
The Three-Eyed Demon Lord's palm descended. This palm was like the demonic aura of the entire sky pressing down, like the entire firmament collapsing—truly terrifying to the extreme.
Boom!
—Lady Water Mirror was instantly shaken until blood flowed from all seven orifices, and even her body became blurred from the impact.
