Chapter 212 [The Angelic Codex], The Undying Angel of Death
The Lion King, Lord Lion Demon... has perished!
Upon realizing this, the Lions Club Elder was deeply shaken, his mind trembling!
He realized this for the first time after living for over 120 years.
I made a huge mistake!
Even though they overestimated the opponent time and time again, they ultimately underestimated them.
That silver-haired boy is someone that no human can contend with!
It was a monster with a human body, like a demon king!
A seemingly insurmountable, sure-win situation...
For him, it might actually be the best hunting ground.
"Pfft!!"
With his eyes closed, the blind grandmaster, who had locked onto Jiang Yuan's location with his special pupil technique, fled at top speed. He used substitute items and position-swapping skills multiple times, but Jiang Yuan still caught up with him and beheaded him with a single strike.
"Whoosh!"
The Blood Sacrifice Gloves flashed red and instantly devoured his corpse!
Killing a ninth-ranked person is like killing a dog.
This is Jiang Yuan's strength after activating the Starburst state!
The Lions Club elder was utterly terrified.
Surrounding and killing this monster was probably the worst decision he ever made!
"you……!"
Jingu Hitomi's expression also changed drastically, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes. He never expected that Shiki would die!
That's ridiculous!
"Your turn next."
Jiang Yuan, wielding the katana Aogiri, turned in mid-air, his golden eyes looking indifferently at Shingu Hitomi.
A bead of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Looking at the silver-haired youth in front of him, this quasi-king, who had held a high position for decades, actually felt a trace of... fear!
"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer! You monster!!"
He roared and, without the slightest hesitation, took out a scroll of forbidden spells.
Tear it to shreds.
In an instant!
A chilling wind rose, the earth rumbled, and a massive stone gate emerged from the ground, exuding an aura of death, its surface covered with statues of grotesque demons with blue faces and fangs.
"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!"
The stone gate slowly opened.
A demon as tall as a mountain, with a ferocious face, and dressed in a white divine robe floated out from it!
The forbidden spell beyond the rank of immortal—a grand drama hidden in the shadows!!
Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes, sensing a hint of threat.
The aura emanating from the other party is very similar to that of the Cerberus.
A creature from the underworld?
"So it was you who summoned me?" asked the demon, Kagami Hitomi.
"That's right!"
"As the price for summoning me, the remaining half of your lifespan will belong to me," said the demon Prajna.
Although Jingu Hitomi felt heartbroken, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and agree.
"Can."
"The deal is done. Now, tell me, what do you want me to do?" the demon asked.
Jingu Hitomi looked at Jiang Yuan with resentment in her eyes, "Take him to hell! Let him be condemned to eternal damnation."
"You should go by yourself." Jiang Yuan said, as the Undying Phoenix Flame wrapped around the katana Cangqie in his hand, the Yellow Spring Nether Chain slowly swam in the void, and the little blue fish around him emitted a dreamy blue light.
"I can't do that."
"The demon Prajna suddenly said."
Jingu Toumi's eyes widened. "What did you say?! Aren't you a messenger from the underworld? How could you..."
"He has a seven-colored destiny, which is beyond my control. The deal is canceled." The Prajna demon said, his figure gradually dissipating, and the giant stone gate slowly sank.
This scene took everyone present by surprise.
Jiang Yuan, who was prepared for the battle, was taken aback.
Meanwhile, Shingu Hitomi, who had lost a scroll of forbidden magic for nothing, stared wide-eyed.
Is this even possible?!
"Oh."
Jiang Yuan let out a mocking chuckle.
As if to say:
That's it?
"!!"
Shen Gong Tongming's pupils contracted as he suddenly sensed an extremely strong aura of danger.
next moment.
His body was pierced directly by the Netherworld Chains that shot from the void and carried the chilling aura of the soul!
A terrifying mental attack erupted, creating a mental shockwave that stretched for thousands of meters!
"Snapped!"
His body shattered into countless talismans, and Shen Gong Tongming transformed into hundreds of others that flew in all directions.
One of the Yellow Springs Netherworld Chains also split into hundreds, chasing after them like venomous snakes!
"Azure Dragon Fang!!" The old swordsman in the white kimono of the Musashi family seized the opportunity and attacked Jiang Yuan, who was standing in the air.
A dazzling cyan blade of light flashed through the air and vanished in an instant, shattering the very fabric of the air!
"Clang!!"
Jiang Yuan raised his katana, Aogiri, and used the blade to block the rapidly approaching thrusting attack.
The Lions Club's elderly swordsman flashed behind him, gripping his scabbard, and unleashed his strongest draw slash, imbued with his essence and spirit, in a fraction of a second!
"Lionheart School, annihilated by the Second Heaven!"
Two perfectly white blades of light cleaved through Jiang Yuan's blood barrier and the defensive enchantment of the fallen black robe, but only left two shallow bloodstains on Jiang Yuan's body.
"What?!!"
The old swordsman's eyes widened.
His most powerful sword technique, which he had painstakingly developed over sixty years, was actually... unable to break through his defenses?!
"A fine strike. The sword intent, technique, and momentum were all at their peak. Even I would find it impeccable. It's just a pity..."
Jiang Yuan's voice carried both praise and regret as he glanced behind him and said:
"Your attack power is insufficient."
In his Starburst state, his defense is increased tenfold, and combined with his partially completed Immortal Divine Body, he is practically comparable to a Quasi-King level Lord-level ferocious beast!
It's not something that can be broken so easily.
"Thunderstorm".
Jiang Yuan spoke.
Under the horrified gazes of the two ninth-rank swordsmen elders.
A massive thundercloud appeared in the sky, where incredibly dense thunder element gathered.
Jiang Yuan used his mental power to lock onto the two of them tightly, binding them with his psychic power, making it impossible for them to escape!
"Crunch!!" "Crunch!"
Thick bolts of purple lightning, as thick as wells, transformed into thunder dragons, crashing down upon the two of them!
With the full release of [Elemental Control] and [Dragon's Magic Circulation], the power of the Lightning Storm directly reached the level of a forbidden spell beyond the rank of rank!
"Boom!!"
"Boom!!"
Within a ten-kilometer radius, everything was transformed into a forbidden zone of thunder!
Swordsmen are inherently high in attack and low in defense, and even ninth-tier grandmasters are no exception.
Under such terrifying bombardment, which resembled a heavenly tribulation, the two ninth-tier swordsman grandmasters were instantly reduced to ashes.
Upon witnessing this scene, the Lions Club elder no longer hesitated.
"escape!!"
He tore apart the high-level teleportation scroll and fled with the already unconscious Kujou Ruri and the Lion Clan members.
"Saito!"
Saito Renka, who had been stunned, finally came to her senses.
Kitaharaji shouted angrily, "Get out of here now!"
This was the first time she had ever seen Kitaharaji so flustered and disoriented.
The moment she used a spatial artifact to teleport the two of them away.
A terrifying thunderstorm struck, turning the area, along with the Lions Club residence, into scorched earth!
If only one second later.
Death awaited them!
The situation was developing in a way that far exceeded expectations.
"I guess we'll have to use this after all..."
Even though Jingu Hitomi was unwilling, she had no choice but to take out that extremely high-ranking artifact.
[Angel Original Codex], relic sequence 14.
The higher the sequence of the artifact, the more stringent the conditions for its use and the greater the cost.
But at this moment... Shingu Hitomi no longer cared about that.
Even if it costs us our souls, we cannot allow the monster behind us to continue to disrupt and threaten the Grand Festival, which the three starter families have been planning for a hundred years!
Shingu Hitomi suddenly stopped.
"Pfft!"
The Netherworld Chains pierced directly through his body and soul, and the extreme chill of the soul instantly froze his body.
"O angelic text, I offer my soul and the millions of lives of this city as a sacrifice, please... grant my wish. Destroy those who killed me!"
As Hitsugu Jingu spoke his blessing, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and drops of blood fell onto the [Angel's Original Text].
In the instant his soul shattered and the flame of his life was extinguished.
The ancient gray book instantly flipped open, and an incredibly dazzling gray light burst forth from its pages, shooting straight into the sky!
An angel with gray wings and jet-black eyes slowly emerged from the gray pillar of light.
A near-King-level Death Angel has descended!
…………
A gray beam of light shot from the deep mountains toward the horizon.
Not only the people in the city, but everyone saw this scene.
"Boom!!"
The celestial phenomena above the artificial island of Alaya suddenly changed. Dark clouds gathered and formed a super-large vortex centered on a gray pillar of light, accompanied by thunderous explosions.
In a city alley, Tetsuya Yamashita, wearing a hood, looked up at the gray pillar of light and murmured, "That's...?"
At the Musashi family dojo, the sword shaman Musashi Hina gazed solemnly at the gray pillar of light on the distant mountainside.
Sakura and the snake inside the Paradise Pavilion were also startled and stood up from their seats.
"It's the Angelic Codex! Have the three starter families gone mad?! They've even used something like this." Sakura's expression changed drastically.
Cold sweat beaded on the snake's forehead. "What on earth is going on...?"
The blond boy, Lian, couldn't help but ask, "Why are you all so nervous? It has nothing to do with us."
"Young Master, you don't know. Once that angel appears, it represents endless slaughter. It cannot be destroyed until its goal is achieved." Black Serpent's expression was extremely solemn. "The Kyoto coalition that once resisted the three great families of Sakura was wiped out in this way, along with the cities of Osaka, Kyoto, and Hokkaido!"
"Wh-what?!" Lian's eyes widened.
Those three cities weren't destroyed by the abyssal beasts, but by their own people?!
"This is terrible," Sakura murmured. "In a short while, this city will probably cease to exist."
……
The gray beam of light contracted into a single line.
A death angel of normal human form flew down in front of Jiang Yuan, holding a gray spear in its hand, its dark eyes filled only with death and annihilation.
He raised his hand and waved it.
"Whoosh!"
Jiang Yuan turned to the side.
A gray slash flew past him, cleaving a mountain behind him in two with a deafening roar. The aura of death permeated the air, and the land instantly became desolate and filled with death.
"So that's how it is, a relic containing the laws of death..."
Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
[Lightning Speed]
He flashed forward and appeared in front of the Angel of Death, slashing down with his sword!
"Swish!"
The azure slash tore through the air, arriving in an instant. But it was deflected by the gray orb of light that appeared around the Angel of Death, sending it flying into the sky.
Jiang Yuan clenched his left fist, and his immense blood and energy condensed into a single point, radiating an incomparably dazzling golden light.
Planet Explosion + Ant's Might + Perfect Level [Air Strike]!
A punch was thrown!
"null--!!"
The space within a radius of 100 meters seemed to shake, and the atmosphere vibrated violently.
The space between the two shattered instantly like glass, countless cracks spreading out, and the gray sphere of light surrounding the Angel of Death was also smashed by a single punch!
The Angel of Death's upper body twisted and deformed under that punch, as if it were swept into shattered space before exploding completely!
"boom!!"
"call……"
Jiang Yuan let out a soft breath, calming the turbulent blood and qi within his body.
next second.
A sense of danger suddenly struck!
A gray light rapidly magnified deep within Jiang Yuan's pupils.
"Clang!!"
The Netherworld Chain shot out, blocking the attack head-on!
The Death Spear was deflected and landed in the hands of the Death Angel. Streams of death energy gathered and reshaped His shattered body, restoring Him to its original state in the blink of an eye.
"An immortal body, huh...?"
"This is a little tricky."
Jiang Yuan muttered to himself.
……
When Yoru and Yumi Miyata arrived at the scene.
The Lions Club's manor was in ruins, the land was like a scorched hell, the once beautiful mountains were broken and death was everywhere, and bolts of lightning struck down from time to time. The sky was as gloomy as water, like an apocalyptic scene from a ukiyo-e painting.
Two beams of light, one black and one gray, raced and collided in the air.
The mountains collapsed with a deafening roar due to the battle between the two, and the sky was torn apart.
Yumi Miyata was about to take a step in.
"Don't come any closer!!" Jiang Yuan's voice came from high above.
next second.
A gray aura, like a venomous snake, shot out from the ground and pierced towards Yumi Miyata.
Ye Yi pulled her away.
The gray aura pierced into a boulder behind, and the boulder instantly shattered into ashes as if it had been blown by the wind for tens of thousands of years.
"!!"
Yumi Miyata looked terrified.
"What kind of power is this?"
Suddenly, a black light crashed to the ground like a meteor.
Jiang Yuan stood up from the pit, glanced at the two of them, and before he could say anything...
The angel of death descended to the ground and spoke in an ancient divine language: "Death."
boom!
Several gray halos enveloped Jiang Yuan, trapping him in a certain area. Intense death energy invaded his body, impacting the golden flames formed from his blood and qi, producing a hissing sound.
"Master!" Night gripped his two daggers, as if rushing to help.
"Don't come any closer!"
Jiang Yuan gave the order.
"You are not qualified to participate in this kind of battle. If you come here, you will be instantly corrupted by death energy and your health will be reduced to zero."
The grayish-white aura of death grew stronger and stronger, gradually engulfing him.
next moment.
"boom!"
Jiang Yuan's Undying Phoenix Flame exploded, breaking through the death aura seal. His figure transformed into a beam of fist light, and the punch, wrapped in the Undying Phoenix Flame, pierced through the body of the Death Angel.
But then, He appeared again.
"He can't be killed?" Yumi Miyata exclaimed.
Jiang Yuan: "It seems so."
"To deal with Him, perhaps we should first find out the book itself."
"I think it should be in that city."
The angel of death attacked again.
Jiang Yuan put on the [Sage Mask], unleashed terrifying mental power to block His Death Spear Thrust, and took out a scroll of transcendent forbidden spells and tore it to shreds.
Forbidden Spell - [Wrath of the Sea God]
In an instant, endless water elements gathered, turning into a vast ocean that submerged the body of the Angel of Death.
"Now, Lanlan."
Jiang Yuan flashed to the side of the two, and Lanlan opened her mouth wide and swallowed the three of them into her stomach.
