Up in the sky, the battle continued.
Bodo’s power was so overwhelming that he was not disadvantaged even though he was both grievously injured and fighting multiple foes. The strength of the blood-hue axe in his hand was so forceful that even the white-clothed guru, who was the strongest among the martial elites, did not dare to catch its blows directly.
Moreover, though many divine arts and martial techniques struck true upon Bodo’s body, none of them did much damage to Bodo.
His physique was too strong!
He was actually slightly physically stronger than Jiang He, reaching Yuan Spirit level in physical strength alone. It was only no thanks to his serious injuries, or he could have cut down Wang Hou and the other Void-tier elites in any instant.
“Die!”
Bodo, growing stronger as he fought, now bellowed in rage, “Die, all of you!”
How could he not be fuming?
Those pitch-black objects were simply horrific. Even though he invoked the defensive pseudo-sage item that the demon lord bestowed upon him in the instant of the explosion, he was almost blown to hell despite that single-use treasure which could have fended off a full-powered blow from a Convergence-tier champion.
The item even shattered afterwards, blown into pieces.
At the same time, the entire Sky Demon legion set to invade Earth… was wiped out.
The losses were so tremendous that not even the word ‘terrible’ began to cover it!
And if Bodo could not conquer Earth, he most assuredly would not escape from the fate of military penalizing, which was why he charged out of the Stargate despite his injuries.
Bodo was prepared to die, but after getting out, he realized…
That things were a little different from what he imagined.
The Earthling elites before him seemed very weak… where was that elite who killed the marshals under his command?
Swish…
The shade of his blood axe cut through the skies then and slammed heavily on the body of Elder Ji. Even if he had held up his longsword before his body to parry, the shade instantly snapped the sword in two and sent him flying.
Blargh~!
Elder Ji was left coughing blood. With his chest having been torn through, his face was pale-white and aura weakened considerably.

Meanwhile, at Jinyintan Village, Jiang He was munching on rice when he then barked, “Stop feeding me rice! The dishes, just feed me the dishes!”
Three Blades Lin turned to look.
The dish…
Stir-fried eggplant over meat?
The meat seemed to be Golden-Winged Roc, but Three Blades Lin did not dare to taste it and so could not properly judge. But as for the eggplant… having studied Jiang He’s data, he remembered that Jiang He had a mystical floral spirit that could heal injury and it seemed to be an eggplant.
As such, he hurriedly scooped a spoonful of eggplant and violently stuffed it down Jiang He’s throat.
“Screw your gramps…”
Jiang He’s face was turning green.
Who the heck hurt their allies like that?
Such a crude feeding style… would you have stuck an entire eggplant down my mouth if I had given it to you?
Fortunately, however, Jiang He could quickly feel the agony over his body easing considerably, just as his internal injuries were quickly closing themselves.
Having a powerful physique and incredible regeneration in the first place, it was now matched very effectively with the big eggplants Jiang He had grown. Hence, by the time the second eggplant went down his mouth, crisp crunching sounds could be heard from his body.
It was his bones mending.
By the time he ate the third scoop of eggplant and meat, Jiang He could lift both arms. He promptly snatched the lunchbox spoon away from Three Blades Lin and wolfed down the lunchbox on his own.
Screw me!
Three Blades Lin was spacing out and doubting what he was seeing.
What the heck…
Was the eggplant really that ridiculous?
Finishing the eggplant in the lunchbox within ten seconds, Jiang He then took out another lunchbox… he was pressed for time, so he ate none of the rice and only the dishes.
Hence, a dozen seconds later…
Nonchalantly throwing the lunchbox on the ground, Jiang He rose to his feet, fully healed even though he was still prone on the ground half a minute ago.
Laughing out loud, he extended his hand, beckoning as he cried, “To me, swords!”
Whoooooooosh!!!
There were several popping sounds in the air as the six flying swords that were sent flying by the Doom Shrooms all returned. Among them, the Scarlet Flame Sword was dragging a long scarlet blade radiance like a scarlet dragon taking to the skies, while both the Autumn Water Sword and the Sunflower Water Sword turned into emerald radiances and a black watery curtain as they flew. Likewise, the Nameless Sword was shrouded in earthen-yellow halation, just as the Greenwood Sword, a superior-grade sage weapon, was even more imposing, leaving emerald luster in the air where it passed and dyeing half the sky green.
Jiang He stepped forth upon the Greenword Sword.
Taking flight then, he bounded toward the skies. Having recalled the Nine Dragons God Fire Shroud as well, he had it expand up to ten Mu before throwing it at Bodo.
When Wang Ho and the others saw him, all of them made way.
At the same time, Bodo charged toward him, axe in hand.
Fighting bravely, he sent the Nine Dragons God Fire Shroud flying with a swing of his axe.
That sight left Jiang He astonished…
The Sky Demon was so powerful. But luckily, he was not at the peak of his powers, so Jiang He had nothing to fear.
“Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array, release!”
Pointing nonchalantly, both the Scarlet Flame Sword and the Autumn Water Sword bounded forward, their edges shining like a dragon as they bore down on Bodo.
Bodo swung his axe again, knocking off Jiang He’s Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array. He shambled, however, and was stumbled backwards over a hundred meters just then.
“Again!”
Turning on his berserk button, Jiang He let loose another Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array, sending Bodo stumbling backwards and coughing blood again.
“Earthling!” he cried in rage. “If I weren’t maimed and didn’t lose thirty percent of my power, could you have stood up against me?”
Jiang He ignored it, and continued attacking with Ice and Fire Duality Sword Arrays.
Bodo’s face dropped at that, backing down the more he fought. Then, looking ready to escape into the Stargate, he seethed sinisterly, “Earthlings, the demon lord would never spare any of you for slaughtering our legion! When the Offworld Array crumbles, the demon lord shall come personally to wipe out every last one of you!”
“You talk too much!”
Extending his hand to summon once more, the Nine Dragons God Fire Shroud flew out and sealed the entrance of the Stargate, cutting off Bodo’s escape.
With that, Jiang He sneered. “You doggone thing! You’re actually trying to escape after you threaten daddy?”
Pointing with his finger, the six flying swords hovering around himself all took the skies as the Sword Array of Five Elements and Six Pulses erupted, cutting toward Bodo.
“No!”
Bodo shrieked in despair.
In that very moment, all he saw was Sword Qi covering the whole world.
It drew out the might of the world itself and it was as if the strength of all five elements were quaking as it advanced towards him…
Shank, shank, shank, shank!
Bodo’s physical form was being diced apart by the light of the swords.
However, a strand of his Yuan Spirit darted away from his body and slipped out from amidst the light of the swords, turning into a black cloud as he rushed toward the distance.
“Eh?”
“What the heck is that thing?”
Jiang He did a double take while the sloppy Daoist of Mount Wudang cried out in surprise nearby, “Yuan Spirit projection… let’s attack together right now, everyone! Otherwise, once the Sky Demon champion’s Yuan Spirit leaves his body, he could return again, plaguing us endlessly!”
The look on the martial elites’ faces changed right then, and they all attacked…
Even so, even before their divine moves or martial techniques could be release, the hum of a sword resounded.
The phenomenon of the dazzling sword radiance erupted over the horizon, with every other sword humming in resonance within a hundred miles. Even sloppy Daoist and Mount Qingcheng’s swords were shaking uncontrollably.
A formless sword radiance cut towards the dark cloud of Yuan Spirit attempting to escape.
“Is that…”
“A secret Yuan Spirit technique?”
“No…”
Bodo’s dying roars echoed over the world then. “How could a True Child cultivator like you use a secret Yuan Spirit technique?!”
