Chapter 656: Slaying the Demon Emperor (Please Subscribe for Monthly Tickets)
Above the vast ocean, a Blood Soul Needle continuously hovered, followed by countless Blood Demon Chains and a Blood Demon Spirit Shadow, wreaking havoc with mad slaughter.
One by one, the Golden Core Demon Kings of the Tai Qian Shark Tribe fell.
Like harvesting wheat, this moment left every cultivator stunned.
After all, in their impression, Lin Shiming was a Sword Cultivator.
Sword Cultivators were supposed to stand tall and unwavering.
Only now did they finally understand why Lin Shiming, as a Golden Core True Person, could stand shoulder to shoulder with Nascent Soul True Monarchs.
Besides wielding the Qiu Xue Sword—a Nascent Soul Soul Summoning Sword—his personal strength was terrifyingly extreme.
Within mere moments, over ten Tai Qian Shark Demon Kings fell to Lin Shiming's hands.
Although all of them were Golden Core Early Stage demon kings, it was enough to leave every Golden Core True Person deeply shaken.
At that moment, Lin Shiming's slaughter finally drew the attention of several Tai Qian Shark Kings, who now bore a seething hatred for him.
The Tai Qian Mist churned, and once again the Starlight Sword Formation emerged.
Two Star Swords shot out, flanking Lin Shiming from the left and right.
This time, their flickering speed had reached its pinnacle—clearly, two Golden Core Late Stage Tai Qian Demon Kings were coming to take down Lin Shiming.
The powerful Spirit Might of the Golden Core Late Stage erupted unquestioningly, locking onto Lin Shiming's vital energy.
At this moment, regardless of Lin Shiming's many escape techniques,
their intent remained singular: to strike him down in one blow.
Yet Lin Shiming, as though he had anticipated this, conjured the Sword Storing Book to envelop his front.
The two Tai Qian Demon Kings immediately flickered aside.
Having witnessed the effects of being trapped by the Sky-Trapping Bowl and the Void Bottle earlier, they still bore vivid memories.
Even though they hadn't experienced it personally, they realized that against Lin Shiming, they couldn't afford to let him control them.
As they flickered away, they simultaneously unleashed radiant Spirit Light. In the next moment, the seawater below transformed into cascading water dragons charging toward Lin Shiming.
Just when they thought they had evaded successfully, Lin Shiming's figure vanished.
"Not good! He has teleportation techniques too!" one of the Tai Qian Shark Kings urgently warned.
But it was already too late—a single Sword Storing Book had separated the pair into two distinct spaces.
Lin Shiming's figure followed them into the dimensional space of the Sword Storing Book.
An incomparable Sword Intent, combined with the crushing force of the Sword Storing Book, closed in, followed by nine weapons forged of Divine Sense morphing into a Divine Sense Array that surged toward the two demon kings.
Crash!
One of the Golden Core Late Stage Demon Kings instantly had his Divine Sense shattered and was then drained by the Blood Demon Chains of Lin Shiming's Blood Grinding Disk.
He died on the spot.
The remaining one, however, wasn't ordinary—his consciousness was protected by a Spirit Talisman.
Left with no choice, Lin Shiming retrieved the Soul-breaking Needle and engaged again, exploiting the Tai Qian Shark Tribe's current lack of adaptation to Divine Sense attacks.
Sure enough, the remaining Tai Qian Demon King couldn't withstand Lin Shiming's assault for long and soon perished as well.
Lin Shiming didn't immediately emerge from the Sword Storing Book. However, in his grasp, a Coral Talisman began to radiate Spirit Light.
He understood well—this marked the slaying of a Demon Emperor.
Without hesitation, a Starry Battle Garment and the Starlight Ancient Spear materialized on his body.
Stepping out of the void, he charged directly into the Tai Qian Mist for the first time, his fervor unbridled.
Along with his charge came a cascade of Profound Cold Pearls being hurled, and the Myriad Beasts Banner descended from the skies, suppressing downward.
The Starlight Ancient Spear unleashed a terrifying piercing force.
In an instant, he shattered the defenses of the Tai Qian Shark Tribe.
Within a mere few breaths, he had slain another four or five demon kings.
With the Soul Fusion Secret Tome augmenting his techniques, defeating Tai Qian Sharks below his realm was effortlessly easy.
But at that moment, he felt a horrifying sense of dread.
His eyes narrowed instantly—he knew the Demon Emperor had set sights on him.
And it wasn't just any Demon Emperor; it was the Thunder Shark Demon Emperor.
Though Gold Cicada had only recently broken through, initially able to fend off with his magical treasures, he was now visibly exhausted.
Both the Thunder Shark Demon Emperor and the Green Shark Demon Emperor turned their focus toward Lin Shiming.
Meanwhile, Granny Qingyu's techniques began to change.
Somehow, her hand now held a snake-head cane.
One of the Heartless Zither's strings snapped completely at this moment.
The terrifying sound of mournful zither music enveloped the entire sea realm.
Even the Red Shark Demon Emperor couldn't help but cover his ears and roar in agony.
At the same time, the surrounding zither formation bombarded the Red Shark Demon Emperor relentlessly.
Granny Qingyu then shot out the snake-head cane, which resembled a spear penetrating the void.
Vanishing from her hand, the cane eerily reappeared before the Red Shark Demon Emperor's head, aiming for the back of his skull.
Bam!
The cane moved at a blinding speed.
To everyone's shock, the serpent head of the snake-head cane detached from the cane itself.
The snakehead turned out to be a Fifth Rank Late Stage demon king.
With a single bite, it devoured the final defensive measures of the Tai Qian Sharks, while the separated cane pierced straight through, revealing a plump crimson Nascent Soul within the void.
Flashing with scarlet light, it fled instantly.
Granny Qingyu could only lament her misfortune as she had accurately anticipated the Nascent Soul's location.
After all, upon reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, the Nascent Soul could freely roam within the body.
Had she gambled correctly, the Red Shark Demon Emperor wouldn't have survived.
Still, she had completed her mission by gravely weakening a Tai Qian Demon Emperor.
Almost simultaneously, as the Red Shark Demon Emperor was wounded and the Nascent Soul escaped, furious roars erupted from the Tai Qian Mist.
The opposing forces clearly realized they had been deceived.
But their realization came too late.
The Tai Qian Mist surged, and numerous Demon Emperors prepared to act.
Yet, the first to strike were the well-prepared True Monarchs of the Southern Sea.
Leading the charge was the terrifying Rakshasa Demon Child, whose monstrous form flickered into the void.
With an infant-like finger, it pointed directly at the Green Shark Demon Emperor.
For the remaining Demon Emperors, the Thunder Shark Demon Emperor proved far harder to deal with.
In addition to the Rakshasa Demon Child, Five Poisons True Monarch, Five Poisons Demon King, and Chi Lan Sect's Sixth Rank corpses all lunged towards the Green Shark Demon Emperor.
In mere moments, the Green Shark Demon Emperor faced a siege of six or seven Nascent Soul True Monarchs.
Boom!
The Green Shark Demon Emperor's physical body was quickly obliterated, a green Nascent Soul emerging once more.
But before he could escape successfully, Lin Shiming's Sword Storing Book blocked his path.
Simultaneously, an overpowering Divine Sense attack crushed him.
The Five Poisons True Monarch then pierced the Nascent Soul with his poison hook.
Thus fell the first Nascent Soul True Monarch cultivator of the Southern Sea.
Crash! The Thunder Shark Demon Emperor swiftly broke away.
At this moment, the Tai Qian Mist surged even more fiercely, indicating the opposition's intent for rapid retaliation.
"Good timing!" A voice echoed from the void as the ocean was enveloped in countless strands of Spirit Light.
The Spirit Lights intertwined intricately, revealing a terrifying Nan Yue Immortal Path in the next moment.
