Cultivation Online-Novel

Chapter 837: The Abomination

"Show me what you've got, human."

Perhaps it was because of Yuan's lack of cultivation, but the Elite Demon did not seem to be worried at all by his presence.

"Then I won't be humble!"

Yuan started the assault with the Demon Sealing Sword Strike.

However, the Elite Demon quickly dodged it, not allowing Yuan's strike to connect, unlike the low-ranking demons before it that were so confident in their immortal bodies that they would disregard all attacks.

Seeing this, Yuan summoned the Starry Abyss to sneak attack the Elite Demon.

"Pathetic little tricks!"

The Elite Demon summoned its blood weapon and parried the incoming attack from the back.

'I forgot that the Starry Abyss isn't effective against Spirit Kings and above…' Yuan facepalmed inwardly.

'But this is fine. The invisibility effect isn't the reason I summoned it.'

[Ten Thousand Ghost Blades!]

"If one isn't enough, how about a thousand?!"

A thousand Starry Abyss suddenly appeared and surrounded the Elite Demon.

Although the demon was definitely taken aback by such a menacing technique, it did not panic and tried its best to deflect all of them.

However, such a feat quickly proved to be impossible for the Elite Demon, so it stopped focusing on the Starry Abyss and started launching its own attack at Yuan, who was just standing in the distance, silently controlling the Starry Abyss.

"Blood Slash!"

The Elite Demon whisked its thin arms at Yuan, sending a crimson arc of energy at him.

However, the attack didn't go far, as it was quickly intercepted by the thousand Starry Abyss that acted like a containment for the demon.

"What a fucking annoying technique!"

The Elite Demon could no longer control its emotions and became enraged.

Its frame grew larger, and its chaotic aura surged to a new level.

However, despite its transformation, it could not conquer the Starry Abyss, eventually getting sealed by it.

Yuan sighed in relief afterward.

'I should be more confident in myself.' Yuan told himself after finishing off the sealed demon with the Heaven Splitting Sword Strike, acquiring to more points.

"This fellow is full of surprises. He controls not just a single Soul Weapon but two of them, and they're different types of weapons? I only know of one person that can wield two Soul Weapons at once, and that person is regarded as a top genius in the Seventh Heaven." Wan Yu's face was filled with awe after witnessing Yuan's fight with the Elite Demon.

'Two Soul Weapons... Just how many more secrets are hiding inside that small figure? Van Hara wondered to herself.

After recovering his spiritual energy, Yuan continued his hunt. Many hours later, the necklace given to him before the examination suddenly trembled, and Yan Hara's voice resounded from it.

"It has been 24 hours since the start of the examination. You have 48 hours left."Google seaʀᴄh novelenglish.net . (f)ire.ɴet

'It's already been an entire day? Time sure passes by so quickly when I am focused on hunting demons... Luckily I told the others not to worry about me if I don't come out for a few days since I didn't know what to expect from this examination.'

He would normally take a break for Meixiu's meals, but he was worried that he might lose his bet with Wan Kaiqi if he rested even a little, as he was certain that the other two participants would spend every second during the examination hunting for more points.

As Yuan spent more time hunting demons, he grew more confident in his abilities, and his aggressiveness intensified. This allowed him to swiftly deal with even Elite Demons, and his points grew more and more.

'I have encountered four Elite Demons now, but I have yet to encounter any Superior Demons. I wonder if they are closer to the goal.' Yuan wondered inwardly as he finished off another demon.

After pondering for a moment, he decided to see how close he was to the finish line, as he'd been wandering the Demons' Valley aimlessly.

Yuan followed the direction of the red star and ran at his full speed, only stopping to deal with demons that would suddenly show up.

A few hours later, Yuan stopped when he could see the Divine Paragon's statue.

'I encountered three Elite Demons on my way here, which is almost as much as what I encountered after an entire day of roaming. Looks like my hypothesis was correct. I should encounter my first Superior Demon soon if I continue to wander around the statue.'

Not wanting to waste any more time, Yuan began running around the area around the statue, and sure enough, an hour and three dead demons later, he encountered his first Superior Demon.

However, when Yuan saw this demon, he swallowed nervously, and all of the confidence that he'd built up over the course of the last 24 hours began dwindling.

"My lord... This is a demon?" Yuan mumbled in a low voice as his gaze laid on a massive figure that was nearly 40 meters tall in the far distance.

This demon was not only incredibly tall, it was also very round, almost like a balloon. However, that was not the most appalling feature of this demon, as it had an unfathomably hideous face that would scare anyone unfortunate to witness it. 0

The demons before this one all had human-like appearance, but this demon looked more like a hideous monster than anything.

"What an ugly demon! Hurry up and kill it, Young Master!" Feng Yuxiang exclaimed in a disgusted voice the moment she saw this demon.

Even Lan Yingying trembled when she saw this demon, as it was unlike anything she had seen before.

"I-I think we should probably leave this one alone for now..." Yuan said in a stiff voice.

And without any hesitation, he turned around and walked away, acting as though he never even noticed the demon.

"Hahaha! Did you see the look on his face?! I knew he'd run away! Nobody has ever confronted that hideous existence on their first encounter! They would always need some time to mentally prepare themselves, even if they knew of its existence beforehand!" Wan Yu laughed out loud after seeing Yuan's natural reaction to this massive demon.

"I almost pissed myself when I first encountered it during my examination." Tang Zheng shook his head with a bittersweet smile on his face as he recalled his first encounter with this demon.

"The 'Abomination', huh? I still don't understand their existence and why they look so different from other demons." Van Hara said.

"Some people believe they are the demons' true appearance. However, according to the Demon Sealing Clan from ancient times, even demons hated these Abominations." Wan Yu said.

"I'm just glad that they no longer exist. I cannot imagine going against these things nowadays. They are not only more violent than other demons but they also seem to have no mind of their own, acting merely on their destructive instincts." Tang Zheng shook his head.

"That's not all." Wan Yu said, and he continued, "They also have a higher tolerance to demon sealing aura, so they are much tougher to seal in general."

"Despite it only being a Superior Demon, I don't think anyone has ever sealed or killed the Abomination in this examination. Not even Qian Chu, who fought it for an entire day, could defeat it."

"Perhaps the little founder will set a precedent." Yan Hara said with an anticipating smile on her face...
