Chapter 0708: Reversing Heaven and Earth

The cultivation of the quasi-immortals here was restricted to the Martial King level.

And that Demon Star Overlord was at the Martial King level, with a monstrously tough body and three heads and six arms.

The suddenly appearing Demon Star Overlord landed right in front of the quasi-immortal from the Medicine Immortal Valley.

Its six arms struck down with lightning speed, producing deafening slaps, pulverizing the quasi-immortal's body.

At the same time, Xiao Yuelan activated the Piercing Mystic Art, penetrated the barrier of the combat platform, and emerged outside, transferring the Cloud Demon Matriarch into the combat platform.

Meanwhile, Medicine Immortal Valley's forces all charged forward.

The Demon Star Overlord was immensely powerful and fast, repelling the onslaught.

Qin Yun and Xiao Yuelan quickly transported Bao Changshou, Jian Shitian, and a large group of others inside the protective barrier of the combat platform.

Moreover, Qin Yun also produced the Little Jade Rabbit and handed it to Xiao Yuelan.

When the Cloud Demon Matriarch saw the Little Jade Rabbit, she showed visible excitement, knowing it was the Jade Rabbit from the Moon Palace (Guanghan Palace), capable of powerful purifying abilities.

The ones most shocked by the appearance of the Demon Star Overlord were Jian Nanhu, followed by the King of Yezhou from the Arcane Sigil Hall.

The sudden appearance of the Demon Star Overlord here, attacking the Medicine Immortal Valley group, clearly meant Qin Yun had released it!

This supreme puppet warrior had actually been subdued by Qin Yun!

The King of Yezhou had once spared no expense to subdue this Demon Star Overlord, and seeing it now in Qin Yun's possession filled him with bitter resentment.

"Qin Yun, I should have guessed you took the Demon Star Overlord! You treacherous cur, you controlled it early on and killed our Demon Tamers!"

The King of Yezhou roared furiously, charging at the Demon Star Overlord and launching a frenzied assault.

Though the Demon Star Overlord was strong, the King of Yezhou, the Muzhou King, and several other quasi-immortals were not to be trifled with, not to mention the many Emperor Wu-level cultivators present.

Even with their cultivation suppressed to the Martial King realm, working together, dealing with the Demon Star Overlord was manageable.

Qin Yun quickly burst forth from the barrier and entered the Demon Star Overlord.

This allowed him to control it more directly.

Until now weaponless, the Demon Star Overlord suddenly materialized a hammer and sword in its hands!

It was the Nine Sun Divine Hammer and Jian Nanhu’s Dao Sword.

"You bastards, all of you, die!"

Qin Yun controlled the Demon Star Overlord, launching devastatingly precise attacks.

With the aid of those two weapons, he swiftly cut down mercilessly many Martial Kings and Emperor Wu.

Those inside the combat platform barrier gaped in awe, filled with envy.

Because the Demon Star Overlord puppet was simply too formidable. Though the quasi-immortals were suppressed to the Martial King realm, their strength was still considerable. Yet now, even several of them combined couldn’t defeat the Demon Star Overlord!

What was most terrifying was how much deadlier the Demon Star Overlord became when wielding weapons.

The Nine Sun Divine Hammer amplified its power, making each strike horrifyingly devastating.

Each hammer blow cratered the ground with explosive force.

The semi-immortals scrambled to dodge—otherwise, they’d be killed!

"Bastards! Want to capture me alive to exchange for the Star Monarch Rune Soul? Drop dead!"

Qin Yun had been itching to wipe out these bastards, who kept scheming against him and Yang Shiyue.

Remembering how they'd driven Yang Shiyue into hiding in the Darkmoon Mountains only fueled his rage further.

The Demon Star Overlord went berserk!

BOOM!

The Nine Sun Divine Hammer finally struck a semi-immortal, splitting their skull open and drawing a bloodcurdling scream.

SHING!

After the hammer blow, the Dao Sword slashed toward them.

"Kill me? In your dreams, bastard!" the semi-immortal roared, parrying the sword with his own blade.

The Demon Star Overlord had six arms, all zeroed in on that semi-immortal—two pressing down on his shoulders, two gripping his arms.

The remaining two wielded the Nine Sun Divine Hammer and the Dao Sword, unleashing a brutal onslaught!

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

The hammer pummeled relentlessly into the semi-immortal, shattering their skull while the sword pierced their body multiple times.

Meanwhile, the others frantically attacked the Demon Star Overlord.

But the Demon Star Overlord was thick-skinned and numb to pain. Even after enduring a fierce assault from behind, leaving it battered and bleeding, it stood firm.

After Qin Yun controlled the Demon Star Overlord to kill a semi-immortal, the demon suddenly roared with earth-shaking fury.

An arctic blast exploded violently from its body!

The ambushers became the ambushed, instantly frozen.

The star core, previously modified by Bingxing, could unleash freezing power!

Now, Qin Yun activated the core, releasing most of its stored energy to freeze the surrounding assailants.

The freezing shock left them moving in slow motion.

The Nine Sun Divine Hammer in the Demon Star Overlord’s hand overflowed with violent force, smashing down on the shorter enemies like smashing clay pigeons!

Each hammer strike pulverized a man in one hit!

Especially the Martial Kings and Emperor Wu—they were made of weaker stuff. A single hit meant certain death. Only semi-immortals could withstand two or three blows.

The plaza became a slaughterhouse once more!

The Long family, watching from afar, watched with their guts turning to water. Had they joined the fight, most of them would likely be dead by now.

The King of Yezhou lay on the ground, writhing and howling—his legs severed, shoulders shattered, and body battered by multiple punches. His survival alone proved his toughness.

"You craved my treasures that much? Well, here's your chance!" Qin Yun’s voice rang out, filled with fury. "You wanted to rob me? Then take this! And this! And this!"

Qin Yun raged, controlling the Demon Star Overlord to savagely assault the group.

Bang!

His Nine Sun Godly Hammer struck again, killing another Martial King with a single blow that reduced flesh and blood to a pulpy mess.

"Qin Yun, you bastard! You'll pay for this!" the Muzhou King roared furiously. "With something like this in your possession, the people of the Mystic Realm will never let you go!"

The Muzhou King, already missing an arm, had his skull smashed mid-insult before being sent flying by a fist.

Jian Shitian stood gaping. He never expected Qin Yun could flip the script and eliminate the group before reinforcements arrived.

Only three demi-immortals remained, while the Martial Kings and Emperor Wu were either dead or crippled.

The speed and strength of the Demon Star Overlord controlled by Qin Yun were gradually weakening.

"Goddammit, the star core's energy is almost depleted!"

Holding the star core, Qin Yun pulled back the Demon Star Overlord.

At that moment, the poison on the Cloud Demon Matriarch dissipated.

No longer needing to suppress the toxins, even injured, she could unleash serious strength. Thus, Xiao Yuelan hauled her out of the barrier.

"You traitors, die!"

The Cloud Demon Matriarch emerged with a furious cry, releasing a churning sea of mist.

The mist transformed into various beasts, condensed from surges of energy.

The army of mist-formed beasts stampeded across the square, their earth-shaking charge overwhelmed the three demi-immortals.

The mist beasts exploded violently, sending the three demi-immortals screaming to the ground.

Witnessing the last three demi-immortals battered and broken, the crowd went wild from within the arena.

Victory!

The bastards and backstabbers were finally vanquished.

"Charge!" the Long family suddenly shouted.

"Don’t you want Long Xian to live?" Qin Yun yelled as they rushed forward.

"Capturing you is way more profitable than Long Xian!" an elder laughed. "You have several Immortal Essences here, hahaha!"

The Cloud Demon Matriarch harrumphed in fury. A gigantic mist-formed tortoise descended from the sky, smashing the charging Long family members to the ground.

Qin Yun quickly exited the Demon Star Overlord’s body and stored it away.

Then, turning invisible, he dashed across the square, looting the corpses of the fallen demi-immortals, Martial Kings, and Emperor Wu into the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron.

The Cloud Demon Matriarch’s power was terrifying—she alone fought off the whole damn mob.

Hiding in the shadows, Qin Yun launched his pre-made blade charms, disrupting the enemies but struggling to inflict real harm.

The blade charms exploded into fierce flames upon impact, sending the foes scrambling.

Qin Yun aimed for eyes and other vital spots. Even if dodged or blocked, the daggers would detonate mid-flight.

Granny Ma summoned billowing clouds for her assault, while Qin Yun's flying dagger talismans exploded, erupting into sheets of flame that turned those clouds into fiery clouds.

"I'm coming!"

Though the poison in Jian Shitian's body hadn't fully dissipated, he'd recovered sufficiently to rejoin the fight.

After Xiao Yuelan propelled him through the barrier, he gripped his lifebound sword and streaked into the fiery clouds like lightning.

Once inside, he stabbed a semi-immortal from the Long family multiple times, piercing the man like a pincushion.

After the semi-immortal was injured and crumpled to the ground, Qin Yun used the tree totem's claws to drag him over and then confined him within the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron.

The roars shook the air!

The Long family members released their dragon martial souls, activating techniques from the Heavenly Dragon Art, instantly transforming the plaza into a dragon's den.

The Long family hadn't expected Jian Shitian to recover so quickly—his poison had weakened significantly, allowing him to fight at full strength.

A bloodlusted Jian Shitian was a nightmare unleashed.

The overwhelming sword auras he unleashed were so fearsome that even Qin Yun felt his blood run cold, as if countless blades were pressing against him, making him deeply uncomfortable.

At that moment, a wave of familiar energy signatures approached from the distance!

Granny Ma and Chu Binyu, along with several semi-immortals from Immortal Weapon City, had arrived!

The moment they appeared, they immediately slammed into the Long family.

The battle-scarred plaza was instantly engulfed in raging flames—three of the semi-immortals from Immortal Weapon City wielded flame-based arts.

The plaza was consumed by an inferno, followed by torrents of violent lightning strikes.

Fierce flames, crackling lightning, churning clouds, and overwhelming sword auras covered more than half of Sword Immortal Villa, tearing deep fissures across the ground!

Qin Yun, unable to withstand such terrifying forces, had no choice but to retreat into the barrier of the martial platform for shelter.

He had already captured many of those people inside the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron—including several semi-immortals with potent Immortal Blood!

"With so many semi-immortals in my grasp, I refuse to believe I can't cultivate an Immortal Body!"

Qin Yun burned with excitement. Though he had exposed the Demon Star Overlord, the payoff was worth it.
