Chapter 339: Demon Soul Secret Technique
Blood Eye Fixation.
A pair of crimson eyes radiated eerie brilliance before suddenly expanding in midair, morphing into a massive blood-colored net that descended upon Su Hao.
The assault came too swiftly for evasion.
Yet Su Hao showed no intention of dodging. Against such an attack, he knew retreating would grant his opponent dominance. When experts clash, victory balances on a hair’s breadth – yielding ground meant near-certain defeat.
His sword rose gently. Light flashed as countless sword arcs materialized, transforming into gleaming blades that whirled around him before slashing upward at the crimson web.
"Childish!"
Elder Shi sneered, thrusting his palm forward. Immense power surged into the remnant shadow of the powerful demon from the Demon Race.
The partially severed blood-net solidified under renewed energy, snapping dozens of swords like twigs as it continued its deadly descent.
Su Hao’s expression hardened. His right hand jerked upward, summoning a fist-sized crystalline orb that glowed azure above his head. The defensive radiance held firm against the blood-net’s assault.
"What’s that blue light? It’s blocking the net!"
"A single strand of that crimson energy would kill us instantly."
"Though we’ve reached Foundation Establishment stage, true experts remain beyond us."
"That’s Shadowless Peak’s treasure – the Cloud Water Spirit Orb. An extraordinary spiritual weapon."
"No wonder it resists the demon’s attack! Only such a weapon could…"
"But look – Peak Master Su struggles! If even this artifact barely withstands a remnant shadow’s strike, imagine facing a true demon!"
"All Demon Race threats must be crushed before they manifest!"
"Exactly. That little girl Su Ling and Madam Su must die. Eliminate the roots to prevent disaster."
Beneath the Judgment Platform, the crowd murmured nervously, faces pale from witnessing demonic power.
Su Hao gritted his teeth as blood light pressed downward. The Cloud Water Spirit Orb creaked ominously at his crown, cracks spiderwebbing across its surface. Never since mastering his cultivation had he faced such pressure – even sparring sessions with Murong Wuqing lacked this life-and-death intensity.
"A mere remnant shadow wields such might…" Su Hao inhaled sharply, resolve hardening.
The blood-net constricted violently. With crystalline splintering sounds, the extraordinary spiritual weapon neared total collapse. When it shattered, the unleashed force would overwhelm even his enhanced strength.
Determination flashed in Su Hao’s eyes.
"Shadowless Star Point Technique!"
His sword dissolved into countless light-shards, each precisely striking the net’s threads. Ten thousand metallic chimes rang out as brilliance erupted through the air.
The crimson web froze mid-air before exploding into dissipating blood-mist.
Gasps echoed across the platform. Against all expectations, Su Hao’s single sword-stroke had shattered the Blood Eye Fixation’s cursed net.
Elder Shi stared, disbelief etching deep lines across his face. The impossible had manifested before his eyes.
"How is this possible? How is this possible?" Elder Shi stared blankly at Su Hao.
Su Hao’s face turned deathly pale. That single sword strike had drained massive amounts of mental energy and true qi. Ignoring the stunned crowd and whether Elder Shi might attack again, he shoved a pill into his mouth. It dissolved into a pure stream of energy within him, rapidly refilling his true qi reserves.
While true qi could be restored quickly, recovering his expended Soul Power in such a short time was extremely hard. At the foundation establishment stage, true qi differences mattered less than Soul Power cultivation. The soul’s strength determined true combat superiority – whoever controlled this advantage would dominate.
Su Hao knew this well, but he’d had no choice. Without using the Shadowless Star Point Technique, he couldn’t have stopped the blood net’s tightening. Had that crimson web crushed the Cloud Water Spirit Orb, the explosive destruction would’ve been unstoppable.
"So this technique consumed your Soul Power. Now I understand its unnatural strength," said Elder Shi, being at late foundation establishment stage himself.
"Then why wait? Attack," Su Hao smiled weakly, his pallid face showing no fear.
"You think this act fools me?" Elder Shi sneered. He suddenly pointed, attempting to command the powerful demon’s remnant shadow to attack. Surely Su Hao couldn’t resist in this state.
But the shadow remained motionless mid-air.
Elder Shi froze, face twisting. "Demon Soul! I’ve fed you lifespan power! Don’t get greedy!"
No response came. Drawing his strange weapon, he prepared to charge – then halted at seeing Su Hao’s mocking grin.
Elder Shi had thought them equals. But Su Hao’s earlier performance against Chen Tianyun and Ouyang Wentian’s ambush proved he’d reached the pinnacle of the foundation establishment stage. Though weakened now, what if this was another act?
Glancing between Su Hao and the hovering shadow, Elder Shi gave a cold snort. A strange aura shot from his head into the demon remnant. He’d sacrificed more lifespan power.
The demon shadow condensed instantly – then struck not Su Hao, but Elder Shi himself. Black light pierced the elder’s back.
Elder Shi stood frozen, black mist swirling around him. Blood light flashed as his eyes snapped open – now crimson like the shadow’s.
The demon remnant had seized the elder’s body.
Everyone stared in disbelief. Elder Shi… possessed?
