Chapter 1919: Sacrifice
With just one punch, the Sect Hierarch was severely injured!
Feeling the violent killing intent emanating from Xiao Zheng, the fallen Sect Hierarch finally had a flicker of panic in his eyes!
He never thought the difference between himself and Xiao Zheng would be so vast!
He couldn’t even withstand a single punch from Xiao Zheng!
Seeing Xiao Zheng charging at him again, the Sect Hierarch hurried to struggle up, wanting to retaliate. His idea was not bad, after all, the best defense is a good offense.
However, the gap in strength between the two was too wide. After Xiao Zheng charged over, he first shattered the Sect Hierarch’s Vigorous Energy Shield with a punch, then followed up with another punch on the Hierarch’s body!
This punch directly blew up the Sect Hierarch’s entire right arm!
"Ah!"
The Sect Hierarch let out a scream, his whole body flying backward again.
After landing heavily on the ground, his aura became extremely weak. If his cultivation weren’t at the Peak Martial Saint state, he would have already perished under Xiao Zheng’s fists!
"I told you!"
"You will die miserably!"
Xiao Zheng, with a darkened face, approached the Sect Hierarch slowly.
If seeing those ninety-eight female corpses made his anger like scorching mountains and boiling seas, then upon seeing the vines tightly wrapped around the Evil Eyes, his fury could incinerate this whole world!
Feeling his volatile killing intent, the Sect Hierarch’s face changed drastically once again.
Just as Xiao Zheng was about to reach him, the Hierarch couldn’t hold back anymore. Using every ounce of strength he had left, he suddenly plunged the five fingers of his left hand into his own heart, as if committing suicide!
"You don’t get to decide your life or death."
"You can only die by my hands!"
Seeing this, a sneer flashed in Xiao Zheng’s eyes.
Upon hearing this, the Sect Hierarch started coughing violently, blood spilling from his mouth as if life itself was leaking away. Yet, a crazed smile appeared on his face: "Want to kill me? It’s not that easy!"
"You think I’m committing suicide? You’re wrong! Completely wrong!"
"I have been preparing for this sacrificial ceremony long ago, hoping I wouldn’t need to use it in the end. Unfortunately, I underestimated your strength."
"Since it cost me my life to summon the remnant soul of the Demon God, you should prepare to face the Demon God’s judgment!"
"You will join me as a sacrifice to the Demon God!"
A fanatical look appeared on the Sect Hierarch’s face as he pulled his hand from his chest, finally kneeling slowly on the altar facing the eight Demon God Statues. His wound unhealed, blood gushed forth, merging with the altar.
Immediately, those vines, as if insane, started dancing endlessly in the void.
Eventually, the eight statues, along with the one brought back by Xiao Zheng, shattered with a boom. When the power within the statues was unleashed, a terrifying aura descended upon the Ten Thousand Great Mountains!
Feeling this pressure, Xiao Zheng’s expression gradually turned solemn.
Regardless of whether the Sect Hierarch lives or dies, this pressure alone showcases the potency of his sacrificial technique.
Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but think, "Could it be that the Demon God, who died a hundred years ago, can truly be resurrected across time and space?"
His gaze fixated tightly on the Sect Hierarch, not blinking even once.
The pressure grew stronger, portending an impending storm!
The fierce Gang Wind shattered towering ancient trees around, shaking precipitous peaks and cliffs into constant rumbling echoes, as if they might collapse at any moment!
When the pressure and anomalies vanished, the Sect Hierarch surprisingly stood up again!
Besides his unchanged appearance, his aura and gaze seemed to belong to someone else!
"Soul, return!"
The Sect Hierarch slowly spoke, his voice resonating the heavens and earth.
When a flicker of brilliance flashed in his eyes, the Demon God’s lingering heroic soul remaining between heaven and earth swiftly entered his body!
The entering of the heroic soul signaled the success of the sacrifice!
The current Sect Hierarch was no longer himself; he could now be called the Demon God!
Feeling the powerful aura exuding from the Sect Hierarch, Xiao Zheng’s expression grew even sharper: "Pretender! It’s just a wisp of a remnant soul! At most, you retain the combat awareness of your former self!"
"Since you’re unwilling to reincarnate, I’ll make you die once more!"
Upon finishing, Xiao Zheng surged directly at the Sect Hierarch possessed by the Demon God’s remnant soul.
His momentum was even more ferocious than before!
As if sensing Xiao Zheng’s momentum, the combat awareness within the Demon God’s remnant soul was instantly triggered. The remnant soul manipulated the Sect Hierarch’s body, charging at Xiao Zheng as well.
Upon meeting, the two of them clashed with a single punch!
Boom!
The recoil force struck, both of them retreating swiftly!
Xiao Zheng retreated three steps, while the Sect Hierarch retreated over five steps!
After the initial confrontation, Xiao Zheng had a rough estimate of the remnant soul’s strength, roughly equivalent to early-stage Perfect Realm, on the verge of breaking through to Mid Marvelous Realm!
Though strong, Xiao Zheng remained confident in victory!
Though Xiao Zheng had yet to break into the Supreme Realm, through accumulation and countless opportunities, his actual combat prowess had long surpassed ordinary early-stage Perfect Realm experts!
His ability to slay Morren back in Europe had already proven his combat capability!
"Die already!"
Xiao Zheng shouted, then charged at the Sect Hierarch again.
This time, he held nothing back, his assault relentless as a curtain of rain. Even with the Demon God’s remnant soul awakened, it couldn’t withstand Xiao Zheng’s relentless aggression!
Almost every punch found its mark, leaving the Sect Hierarch no room to counter!
Perhaps due to the remnant soul’s unwillingness to be suppressed, the Sect Hierarch let out an angry roar, performing some unknown secret technique, beginning to ravenously absorb the heaven and earth energy!
Subsequently, his power started increasing rapidly!
Xiao Zheng suddenly realized something, accelerating his offensive rhythm once more! If the remnant soul were allowed to absorb heaven and earth energy freely, it would surely break through to Mid Marvelous Realm in no time!
At that point, not even Xiao Zheng could easily face a Mid Marvelous Realm expert head-on!
Time was of the essence!
Xiao Zheng had to seize this sliver of time to end the Hierarch’s life once and for all!
His punches, like raindrops, relentlessly struck the Vigorous Energy Shield put up by the Sect Hierarch. After who knows how many punches, the Vigorous Energy Shield finally shattered! The fierce fist force then landed on the Sect Hierarch!
The Sect Hierarch, already wounded, now faced Xiao Zheng’s attack again!
His body could no longer withstand it and shattered in response!
Once the Sect Hierarch’s physical form exploded, the Demon God’s remnant soul was fully exposed, resembling the Demon God Statue with three heads and six arms!
