Chapter 840: Swords of Eternal Torment


    Even though only a few moments have passed since Yuan returned, both Feng Yuxiang and Lan Yingying noticed the change in Yuan''s demeanor.


    He appeared more calm and nonchnt, but they could not pinpoint exactly what was so different about him.


    In their eyes, he was still the Yuan they knew, but at the same time, he appeared to be a different person.


    Meanwhile, Yuan summoned the Empyrean Overlord and began approaching the Abomination.


    "What''s he doing? Why is he getting so close to the Abomination?" Tang Zheng asked out loud when he saw Yuan''s action.


    "Who knows. Maybe he has something up his sleeves." Yan Hara shrugged.


    Once Yuan was directly before the Abomination, he looked up at the demon that was almost the size of a mountain and showed a profound smile on his face.


    "Abominations, also known as Mutated Demons They are not only harder to kiII than normal demons but they are also extremely chaotic. Without a mind of their own, they act only upon their own instincts, which tells them to destroy everything in their path. They cannot discern between friends and foes, so they attack even other demons if they are within its path. A truly unforgiving existence that shouldn''t be allowed to exist."


    Yuan slowly liked the Empyrean Overlord until it was directly above his head.


    After taking a deep breath, he shed the enormous sword that suddenly erupted with a massive amount of Sword Aura at the sleeping demon.


    Whoosh!


    The Sword Aura pierced straight inside the Abomination''s body before it began expanding and erasing everything that it touched.


    The Abomination that had been sleeping peacefully suddenly snapped its eyes and mouth wide open before releasing an ear-piercing scream that shook the entire Demons'' Valley.


    When Wan Kaiqi and the other participant heard the Abomination''s screaming, they immediately stopped whatever they were doing and turned to have the direction of the noise.


    ''Only the Abomination would make a sound like that! Who is fighting it? Daoist Huan? It must be her! There''s no way it could be that pipsqueak!" Wan Kaiqi quickly started making his way towards the Abomination''s direction.


    The only other participant also started making her way towards the noise due to her curiosity.


    So someone else beside me also wanted to fight the Abomination, huh?'' She thought to herself.


    Meanwhile, Yuan continued his assault on the Abomination.


    After releasing his Sword Aura that was infused with demon sealing aura woke up the sleeping demon but it also wreaked havoc inside its body.


    However, even that was not enough to defeat the demon. "Not enough, huh? Then let''s weaken you some more!"


    [ Swords of Eternal Torment!]


    Golden lights shaped like swords began appearing above the Abomination before plunging down, filling the demon''s body with holes.


    This was the same technique the Divine Paragon used to remove demons'' pain tolerance, which was as effective on the Abomination as it would on any other demon.


    And sure enough, the Abomination shrieked in pain, something it hasn''t experienced before.


    The Demons'' Valley shook again with even more intensity, and it would not stop, acting like a pig as it was being ughtered.


    "I-Impossible!" Wan Yu cried out loud after seeing Yuan summon the golden swords.


    "T-That can''t be Swords of Eternal Torment, right?" Yan Hara refused to believe her eyes.


    "I don''t want to believe it, but it definitely looks like it..." Tang Zheng responded in a dazed voice.


    "That''s not possible! That technique had disappeared alongside the Divine Paragon! It must be another technique that looks simr!" Wan Yu said.


    Swords of Eternal Torment was one of Divine Paragon''s signature techniques, and it was one of very few techniques that he did not share with the Demon Sealing n, so when he disappeared, so did these techniques.


    However, while these techniques no longer exist, records of their existence do, hence why Wan Yu and the others recognized the technique the moment they saw it.


    Whether they believe it to be Swords of Eternal Torment is a different story.


    "The Abomination appears to be in pain. I have never seen it react like that" Tang Zheng mumbled in a dazed voice.


    "But demons can''t feel pain." Yan Hara said.


    "No, they can''t— unless they are affected by Swords of Eternal Torment. ording to our ancestors, when the Divine Paragon used that technique, all demons affected by it would experience pain like normal." Wan Yu exined.


    "However, that cannot be Swords of Eternal Torment. The Divine Paragon never shared that technique with anyone in the Demon Sealing n— not even wills their most trusted members at that time."


    "What if the Divine Paragon left behind his legacy before disappearing? What if he''s really using Swords of Eternal Torment? What if he found the Divine Paragon''s legacy?" Tang Zheng spoke with a serious expression on his face.


    "If that''s the case and the others find out, there will be a war to acquire it And it won''t just be om ns fighting for it The entire Nine Heavens would be participating in this war." Wan To said.


    And he continued, "But once again, I do not believe that''s the case. The Divine Paragon doesn''t strike me as the type of person to leave behind his legacy and disappear without a word."


    "Then how do you exin the Abomination''s reaction?" Tang Zheng asked.


    "It''s most likely just agitated. I believe it was also like this when Dian Chu fought it,. he said.


    "What about the technique that looks exactly like Swords of Eternal Torment?. "


    Do you know how many techniques exist in the Nine Heavens? Countless. There are bound to be techniques that look simr to each other despite being twopletely different techniques. I have seen a few of these techniques myself, too."


    "I guess so.. But you can''t deny how freaky of a coincidence this is. Not only does he look like the Divine Paragon, even his techniques look like they belong to the Divine Paragon." Tang Zhengughed out loud when he realized this fact.


    "A coincidence or is this fate?" Yan Nara mumbled in a low voice as she stared at Yuan fighting the Abomination with a profound gaze, her thoughts unknown..
