We're practicing all martial arts, so why did you switch to easy mode?

"Su Chen, watch out!"

The sudden and fierce attack startled Duan Tian Dao.

That's a terrifying finger strike.

Even before it's close, it gives you the feeling of facing death head-on.

"They're from the Holy Origin Sect!"

Su Chen also sensed the immense power of this finger strike. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the white-robed man and the others outside the guiding array.

They did not leave even though less than two breaths had passed before the guiding array was closed.

Instead, they stood guard outside the guiding array, watching Su Chen from afar.

Seeing Su Chen being besieged by the Heavenly Demons, the white-robed man and his companions seized the opportunity to attack, intending to kill Su Chen in one fell swoop before leaving.

"Su Chen, Su Chen, this is a Great Wilderness Rune that Elder Wu Mo specially gave me. It is called the 'Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger'. Don't be fooled by the fact that it is only one finger. It contains more than thirty kinds of supreme divine abilities and is quite powerful. It is enough to kill a martial artist who has not yet transcended the tribulation and has reached the peak of divine abilities. You are no exception."

Once the allotted time is up, the guiding array will close. No matter how extraordinary your abilities or strength, how can you possibly contend with the mountains and seas of demons remaining in the Demon Cave? Only certain death awaits you. Your death will at least give me some closure with Elder Wu Mo!

Looking at that terrifying attack, a cruel smile appeared on the white-robed man's face.

These runes were not something he could possess; they were given to him by Wu Mo when the guiding array was activated.

The goal was to kill Su Chen.

Boom boom boom!
The terrifying finger tore through the air, crushing all the demons below. It was like a mountain pressing down on Su Chen, its violent power carving out a long river, like an insurmountable chasm.

In less than half a second, the Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger completely descended.

The moment it landed, the entire earth trembled, and a towering cloud of dust, dozens of feet high, billowed up from the ground.

Beneath this sky full of dust lies a land divided into sections.

A fissure appeared in the earth, a crack as deep as an abyss, hundreds of meters deep, and its length stretched for tens of thousands of meters, reaching the horizon.

shocking!

"Let's go, Su Chen is dead!"

After a brief moment of sensing, the man in white realized he hadn't detected Su Chen's presence and a triumphant smile spread across his face.

Su Chen is finally dead!
He had completed Elder Wu Mo's task and could now return to report.

With less than a breath remaining before the guiding array closed, he didn't want to delay any longer and prepared to leave with everyone.

But just then, a cry of surprise rang out: "Senior Brother Feng, look at the sky, Su Chen is not dead!"

"What?" The man in white was startled upon hearing this and quickly looked up, immediately seeing Su Chen suspended in mid-air.

And Ayana.

"How could he be completely unharmed!"

The fact that Su Chen was still alive already alarmed the man in white, but Su Chen appeared to be completely unharmed.

This was something he couldn't believe.

In that situation, even if Su Chen had extraordinary abilities, it would have been impossible for him to escape unscathed.

While locked in a stalemate with Ayana and besieged by the Heavenly Demons, he seized this opportunity, believing that Su Chen had no way to dodge, and thus made his move.

But I never expected it to end like this.

"Su Chen, I really don't like this guy. If you kill him, I'll forgive you for letting Yun Xi go!"

Ayana's cold voice echoed in Su Chen's mind; it was she who had just saved him.

As a member of the Asura clan, she has her own pride.

Su Chen can die, but only by her hand, not by being ambushed and killed by a despicable man in white.

So at the critical moment, she forcefully used her instantaneous divine power to transfer Su Chen to the air, thus avoiding the fatal attack.

Even without Ayana teaching him how to do things, Su Chen was already filled with murderous intent towards the man in white.

He raised the Heaven-Severing Blade, which was just as furious as he was, and poured all his Yuan Power and various supernatural abilities down with it, before bringing the blade down.

At first, it was a circular blade of light less than three zhang long, but it quickly swelled with the wind and thunder as it flew by. The power of the Yuan, the power of the blood, the power of the supernatural powers, the power of the divine weapon... all surged more and more, merging together in a subtle way, crashing into the white-robed man and his companions with an astonishing speed.

"Not good, get inside the formation quickly!"

Upon seeing this, the white-robed man's expression changed drastically. Faced with Su Chen's terrifying attack, he believed he was powerless to resist.

So after he finished speaking, he went straight into the guiding formation and escaped.

He reacted quickly and efficiently, but the other disciples of the Holy Origin Sect failed to seize the opportunity.

With a deafening roar, the blade of light descended from the sky, slaying all the disciples of the Holy Origin Sect.

However, due to the immense power of the blade's energy, the already unstable guiding array was indirectly destroyed with a bang.

It disappeared into the dust.

"Su Chen, the formation has disappeared!"

The bewildered voice of the Heaven-Slaying Blade rang out, the guiding formation disappeared, how were they supposed to leave the Demon Cave? And how were they supposed to survive?
If it were the previous demon cave, they wouldn't need to worry about this.

But now, the Demon Cave has been completely occupied by the Heavenly Demons and has become their territory.

To survive, there is no doubt that one must fight against countless demons.

Perhaps they can resist for a while, but as the number of demons increases and they become stronger, how long can they hold out?
Furthermore, what happens after resistance?

We can't just stay in the demon's lair like a rat, hiding here and there, can we?

If they don't go out, the only thing waiting for them is death.

But that's the problem.

He wasn't afraid of continuing to fight the Heavenly Demons, but he was afraid that they would never find a way to leave the Demon Cave.

We've been waiting, but who knows if outsiders will send people to wipe out the demons in the Demon Cave?

If they send people, they will always find a way to survive and wait for a chance to get out.

Perhaps they didn't come, but instead sealed off the demon cave, preventing anyone from entering or leaving.

This is the most troublesome.

Because this would undoubtedly cut off his and Su Chen's only way out.

In an instant, Duan Tiandao thought of many things. His confusion vanished, replaced by a surge of rage. "Damn it! If it weren't for these guys, we wouldn't have been short of time to enter the formation!"

Duan Tiandao was filled with resentment. If it weren't for the people from the Holy Origin Sect launching a sneak attack, he and Su Chen would have been able to get rid of Ayana long ago, enter the formation within the allotted time, and escape the Demon Cave.

Su Chen remained silent with a grim face, his eyes surging with coldness, revealing his chilling killing intent.

Wu Mo, you fucking deserve to die!

"Hehehe, Su Chen, now you're the only one left in the entire Demon Cave, but there are countless Heavenly Demons here. Tell me, what should I do with you?" Ayana's teasing voice rang out, and anyone could hear the smugness in her words.

She gazed intently at Su Chen, her eyes now devoid of their previous coldness, instead carrying a hint of appreciation.

Su Chen's selfless act had quelled her dissatisfaction and made her look at him with new respect.

"what do you want?"

Su Chen looked at the countless demons in the sky, piled up together like stacked pancakes, densely packed.

Without Ayana's orders, none of the demons dared to act rashly.

Instead, his eyes gleamed with malice, drool dripping from the corner of his mouth, and he stared at Su Chen with a greedy look, as if he were eyeing a delicious meal.

Ignoring the gazes of the demons, Su Chen turned to Ayana and asked without changing his expression.

Since things have come to this point, and it's already the worst-case scenario, he doesn't mind wasting a little time with Ayana.

"What do you want? It's simple. You let Yunxi go, causing me to lose a lady. Of course, you have to compensate me." Ayana smoothed her hair and said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Duan Tiandao exclaimed in shock, "Su Chen, this woman has ill intentions; she wants you to be her wife. This is outrageous!"

Whether she heard Duan Tiandao's complaint or not, Ayena continued, "However, I have no interest in men. You are quite strong. If you are willing to pledge allegiance to me, I may consider sparing your life!"

She was attracted to Su Chen, not by his appearance, but by his strength.

She paused, then added, "If you agree to join me, I can teach you how to overcome the Five Signs of Decay. You have already reached the realm of perfect supernatural powers, and it will probably be long before the Five Signs of Decay descend upon you. Without the protection of a sect, you will not be able to overcome them no matter what. But if you join me, I can guarantee that you will at least overcome the Qi and Blood Decay!"

"What are the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man?" Su Chen didn't answer, but asked instead.

This reaction surprised Ayana slightly. Seeing that Su Chen didn't seem to be joking, Ayana explained, "The Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man is a hurdle between an Asura and an Asura King. It is also a threshold between the Divine Power Realm and the Martial Immortal Realm for you human warriors. Only by crossing it can you be qualified to break through to the Martial Immortal Realm. Otherwise, at best, you will still be at the Divine Power Realm and remain an ordinary mortal."

The Five Decays of Heaven and Man are the decline of Qi and Blood, decline of Yuan Power, decline of the Five Organs, decline of Yuan Spirit, and finally, decline of lifespan. Among them, the decline of Qi and Blood is related to Qi and Blood, the decline of Yuan Power is related to Yuan Power, the decline of the Five Organs is related to the Organs, the decline of Yuan Spirit is related to Yuan Spirit, and the decline of lifespan, as the name suggests, is related to lifespan.

The order in which the Five Decays occur is not fixed and is mainly related to the martial artist himself. If you believe that you have cultivated your Qi and blood to the limit, then you can go into seclusion to overcome the decline of Qi and blood. If you overcome it, everything will be fine and your strength will increase dramatically. If you fail to overcome it, although it will not kill you, it will cause your Qi and blood to disappear completely and your Great Dao to be incomplete. This will not only damage your strength but also affect your lifespan.

Similarly, the decline of vital energy, the decline of the five internal organs, and the decline of the primordial spirit are also like this. If any one of these four declines is not overcome, it will accelerate the decline of lifespan. And once lifespan declines, even if you still have ten thousand years of lifespan left, you will die within a hundred years.

This is not an exception in any of the myriad worlds or the virtual realm.

There are many ways to overcome the five signs of decay in a living being…

Ayana didn't elaborate on the method, but instead changed the subject, asking Su Chen, "So, what's your decision?"

Su Chen didn't say anything.

Ayana seemed to see through Su Chen's thoughts and sneered, "You have illusions about the people outside? Don't be silly, they won't come to save you. With your talent and strength, you should have known about the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man long ago. With your current blood, energy, and spirit, you are fully capable of overcoming the tribulation. But you don't even know what the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man are, which is enough to show how little your sect values ​​you."

Since they don't value you at all, do you think they would open the Demon Cave just to save you alone?
"I'm afraid they've already mistaken you for one of our Heavenly Demons. They might not only not save you, but they might even kill you."

Ayana's words were truly insightful, hitting the nail on the head and striking a chord deep within Su Chen's heart.

Because he shared the same concerns.

After all, the power to open the Demon Cave does not lie with the Ziyang Sect, but with the Shengyuan Sect.

If Wu Mo knew that he was still alive and inside, he might really, as Ayena said, label him as an accomplice of the Heavenly Demon, and not only would he not rescue him, he might even kill him.

"Even so, I will not join the Heavenly Demons. If you want to fight, then let's fight!"

After thinking it over for a while, Su Chen quickly made a decision.

He no longer held any hope that the Ziyang Sect would come to his rescue, but instead engaged in direct combat with Ayena, preparing to break through the encirclement.

After breaking through the encirclement, he will then look for a way to leave.

He refused to believe that he would be trapped in the demon's lair forever!

"Pity!"

Ayana sighed, waved her hand, and said regretfully.

As his palm fell, countless demons surged towards Su Chen like ravenous tigers, engulfing him in the blink of an eye.

Boom boom boom!
Ayana hovered in the void, watching Su Chen, who was wreaking havoc, her eyes deep and serious.

"Why can't this person be used by me?"

The more she observed Su Chen, the more regretful she felt, wishing she could directly plant the Dao Heart Demon Seed Divine Power in Su Chen and make him submit.

However, once she used the Demon Seed of the Dao Heart, Su Chen's potential would be stifled, and she couldn't bear to do that.

What she needs is a subordinate who can keep up with her pace, not a subordinate whose abilities are restricted.

Perhaps Su Chen can match her now, but after he uses the Demon Seed of the Dao Heart, Su Chen will have no chance of making any further progress and will be unable to keep up with her pace no matter what.

"Huh? Ran away?"

Just as she was pondering this, Ayana suddenly saw Su Chen break out of the encirclement and was slightly taken aback.

Su Chen clearly did not intend to continue the stalemate, which is why he took the opportunity to escape.

He was very fast, but in Ayana's eyes, he was no faster than her instantaneous divine power.

However, she had not fully recovered yet, so she was unable to use her instantaneous divine power.

Su Chen must have realized this, which is why he was so eager to leave.

However, she wasn't without other means to stop Su Chen, but after thinking about it, she ultimately decided not to use them.

"Fine, let's see how long he can escape!"

Ayana sighed softly, and finally softened her heart, choosing to let Su Chen go.

Su Chen may be able to escape for a while, but how can he escape forever?
When he no longer wants to escape, and can no longer escape, he will eventually give in. Human warriors are far more afraid of death than they, the Heavenly Demons!

Now, she has plenty of patience to deal with Su Chen.

"Report, Your Highness Ayena, Lord Asura King has arrived at the barrier area with his army!"

Just then, one of the Heavenly Demon's subordinates came to report.

Upon hearing this news, Ayena's gaze sharpened slightly, and she then said to her personal guards, "The rest of the Heavenly Demons continue to pursue Su Chen. You will all accompany me to pay homage to the Asura King!" (End of Chapter)
