Seizing Destiny From Heavens Hands

Chapter 298: Those Are Four Silver Peak Demon Kings, the Prince's Elite Guards

Demons rarely used weapons.

Their steel-hard bodies were their best tools for combat.

Moreover, weapons forged from ordinary materials often didn't suit their needs, while rare minerals were extremely scarce.

As a result, most demons chose to condense blood energy into weapons to fight their enemies.

At this moment, the four demon kings unleashed their blood energy, forming massive weapons—a giant axe, spear, blade, and halberd—and launched their attack on Shen Mo.

The surging blood energy swept through the skies, casting a crimson hue over everything.

The disciples of the Qingxuan Sect trembled in fear, not daring to look up.

"Such immense blood energy… If I'm not mistaken, those four lion demon kings must be Silver Peak Demon Kings," Murong Yue murmured.

Ouyang Wei sighed. "Exactly. Silver Peak Demon Kings are equivalent to human Nascent Soul advanced cultivators. But because of their powerful physiques and extreme speed, in close combat, a Silver Peak Demon King is very likely to defeat a Nascent Soul advanced cultivator in a one-on-one fight."

"However, if the numbers on both sides increase, the situation changes.

"As long as cultivators have sufficient time to accumulate and unleash their techniques, they can severely injure or even kill Silver Peak Demon Kings before they get close.

"After all, demons rarely have long-range combat techniques."

Murong Yue nodded but continued to watch the sky with worry.

She could vaguely sense that Shen Mo was strong.

But how strong? She had no confidence in the answer.

Could Shen Mo withstand the attacks of those four lion demon kings?

Her heart filled with unease.

She feared witnessing Shen Mo die on the battlefield.

If that moment truly came, she resolved to end her own life by detonating her Nascent Soul on the spot.

Facing the onslaught of the four demon kings, Shen Mo remained fearless.

Not even his expression changed.

As the threat closed in, two verdant saplings suddenly sprouted from his body.

In an instant, they grew into towering trees, their branches and leaves spreading like a canopy.

This was the Heavenly Tier upper-grade defensive technique, Evergreen Guardian Trees.

The technique required no manual activation. Stored in the dantian, it would automatically deploy to shield him from any imminent danger.

Shen Mo was now just a step away from the peak of the Nascent Soul realm.

The Evergreen Guardian Trees had grown to an immense size.

Each trunk was as thick as twenty men embracing it.

Their branches and leaves spread wide, covering much of the sky, like titanic beings connecting heaven and earth.

The two trees became the most massive objects in the area, visible even from a thousand miles away.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The attacks of the four lion demon kings struck the first Evergreen Guardian Tree.

The massive tree groaned under the weight of the assault.

Within five breaths, it shattered, disintegrating into pure wood spiritual energy that dissipated into the heavens and earth.

But the second Evergreen Guardian Tree stood firm, blocking the next wave of attacks.

At that moment, Shen Mo infused his spiritual energy and activated another defensive technique.

The Heavenly Tier supreme-grade defensive technique, Immovable Dragon King Cauldron.

Hum!

After a brief charge, a golden phantom emerged around Shen Mo, towering dozens of meters high.

Vast, majestic, and imposing, it was an awe-inspiring sight.

"Increase your blood energy!"

The Ninth Prince frowned and growled in frustration.

"Yes!"

The four lion demon kings roared, their eyes bloodshot and their manes standing on end.

Blood energy surged from their mouths and noses, causing their condensed weapons to swell even larger.

Boom!

The second Evergreen Guardian Tree could no longer withstand the immense pressure and shattered instantly.

The four lion demon kings finally broke through the trees' defenses, their attacks now crashing against the surface of the Immovable Dragon King Cauldron.

Clang!

The sound of metal reverberated through the air.

The four lion demon kings couldn't maintain their grip on their blood energy weapons and were sent reeling dozens of meters back.

The impact of the blow left their tiger-like mouths aching, and blood trickled down from their palms.

The four lion demon kings stared at Shen Mo with a mix of shock and disbelief.

Yet, there he stood, the figure in azure robes, calmly upright.

The golden phantom of the Immovable Dragon King Cauldron surrounding him remained unshaken, still the most indestructible presence in the heavens and earth.

"He stopped it?!" Wei Xiongtie exclaimed in awe.

"Those were four Silver Peak Demon Kings, and the young sect master blocked them with just two defensive techniques!" Elder Li marveled.

Mo Hanshan nodded, visibly moved. "I never thought Shen Mo—no, the young sect master—had grown this powerful!"

Ouyang Wei's eyes widened in disbelief. "When I saw him last, the young sect master wasn't anywhere near this strong…

"How could a few years make such an outrageous difference?"

Luo Shengnan suddenly shouted, "Look! Shen Mo is preparing to attack!"

Amid the massive phantom of the Dragon King Cauldron, Shen Mo had drawn a long sword of black and white hues.

The weapon was surrounded by faint, shifting shadows—one black and one white—barely distinguishable from the blade itself.

It was his most formidable spiritual artifact, the Bipolar Sword.

A surging wave of gray sword energy began to gather, spreading outward and turning the skies and ground into a stark monochrome.

The four lion demon kings immediately felt a sharp pain in their bodies, though the sword energy had yet to descend.

Their formidable physical forms, which had always been their pride, now sensed genuine danger.

"Do not retreat! The Ninth Prince is watching!"

"Lion demons never retreat! Keep attacking! That move of his must take a long time to charge!"

"Our kind doesn't even know the meaning of retreat! Fight to the death! Does he really think he can kill all four of us alone?"

"But, uh, technically, we don't have dictionaries."

The four lion demon kings growled low, their voices like distant thunder.

With reckless fury, they launched a relentless assault, their blood energy weapons smashing down again and again.

The sound of clashing metal reverberated endlessly.

Despite their full strength, the blood energy drained from their very bones, their attacks couldn't shake the Immovable Dragon King Cauldron.

It stood like an unyielding mountain, only dimming slightly.

Within its golden protection, Shen Mo stood unmoved, silently accumulating power.

The gray sword energy swirled like a living dragon, becoming increasingly vivid.

Its terrifying sharpness, capable of slicing through anything, grew more menacing with every passing breath.

After dozens of breaths, the Bipolar Sword's energy swelled to an overwhelming magnitude.

"Had enough?"

"Now it's my turn."

"Bipolar Sword Energy, Slash!"

With a swift, decisive motion, Shen Mo unleashed his attack.

A vast torrent of gray sword energy cascaded down like a celestial waterfall.

The black and white shadows of the Bipolar Sword split off, releasing two slightly smaller streams of gray sword energy.

In an instant, three torrents of sword energy engulfed the four lion demon kings.

Their pupils shrank to pinpoints, and they instinctively crossed their arms to defend themselves.

Exhausted from their frenzied assault, their blood energy was depleted, leaving only their bodies as shields.

The gray sword energy engulfed them instantly.

"Aaaah!"

Their screams echoed briefly before being abruptly cut off.

Moments later, the gray sword energy dissipated.

Blood rained down from the sky, and the remains of fur, viscera, flesh, and shattered bones littered the ground.

The surrounding lion demons were left in utter shock.

The Qingxuan Sect disciples stared in disbelief, their eyes wide.

"They… they're dead?"

"Four Silver Peak Demon Kings… and the prince's elite guards!"

"They were wiped out so cleanly? Only scraps are left!"

The Ninth Prince's face turned ashen.

He had never imagined that the four lion demon kings could be so thoroughly destroyed by a single strike from Shen Mo.
