Chapter 104: The Second Volume of the Chaos Celestial Demon Art  – Divine Technique, Heavenly Demon Shadow

The members of the Ren family were momentarily stunned when Leng Yanran suddenly charged at them. They couldn’t comprehend where someone at the Unity Realm got such audacity.

Among the many Ren family experts present, even the weakest were at the Extinction Realm, and there were three mighty individuals at the Boundless Realm.

This opponent clearly didn’t take them seriously at all!

"Go, Senior Sister!"

"Senior Sister is so cool!"

"Beat them to a pulp!!!"

On the side, Li Yurong couldn’t help but cheer as she watched her senior sister exude a murderous aura. With her long spear in hand and hair flowing in the wind, she charged forward heroically. It was an exhilarating sight!

"Hmph, junior, the Ren family isn’t a place where you can act recklessly!"

"Even if someone from the Holy Mountain were here today, they wouldn’t be able to save you!"

"Die!"

One of the Ren family’s experts at the Extinction Realm stepped forward before the Boundless Realm experts even acted. With a single motion, spiritual energy surged, causing his robes to swell. He raised his hand and struck toward Leng Yanran’s head with tremendous force!

In their eyes, a mere junior at the first layer of the Unity Realm could be killed with ease.

Although this junior’s momentum seemed impressive, the gap in realms was simply too vast!

Leng Yanran, however, showed no intention of dodging, even when faced with such a powerful strike. She continued to charge forward, unwavering.

As their figures drew closer and the devastating palm strike was about to land on Leng Yanran’s head, she remained still. Her expression didn’t change in the slightest, her face calm as ever.

"Senior Sister, dodge!"

Li Yurong panicked as she saw this and shouted. Was her senior sister planning to take the full force of this strike head-on?

If she used her Sacred Dragon Transformation ability, she might have been able to withstand an all-out attack from an Extinction Realm expert unscathed. But there were no signs of her using any abilities.

Taking such a strike with just her body would either kill her or leave her gravely injured!

"Hmph, I thought she might be strong, but she’s just a reckless fool."

"Seventh Elder’s palm is unavoidable—she’s doomed."

The Ren family members smirked mockingly at the sight, even feeling a bit self-deprecating.

They had thought trouble was coming to the Ren family, only to find it wasn’t worth worrying about at all.

Before the battle even began, it seemed it would end.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the Seventh Elder’s palm finally touched Leng Yanran’s head—or did it?

The Seventh Elder froze mid-motion, the excitement on his face not even fading yet, but he realized something was wrong.

His palm had clearly struck Leng Yanran, so why… why did he feel no physical substance? It had passed straight through her!

A piercing sound rang out, and everyone widened their eyes in disbelief.

The Seventh Elder’s chest had been pierced through by Leng Yanran’s spear.

"Ugh…"

"When… did this happen?"

Looking at the spear tip protruding from his chest, the Seventh Elder’s vitality rapidly drained. He tried to gather spiritual energy to suppress the wound, but the spear wound exuded a demonic aura, making spiritual energy impossible to control!

Leng Yanran never even spared a glance at the Seventh Elder. An Extinction Realm expert wasn’t enough to make her take the fight seriously.

The other Ren family members finally reacted and were about to intervene to save the Seventh Elder. However, Leng Yanran shook her spear.

Boom!

Before the Seventh Elder could even scream, his body exploded into a mist of blood, obliterated by the demonic aura.

The blood mist slowly reformed and was absorbed by her spear, the God-Slaying Spear. Blood-red light faintly flickered along the patterns on the spear’s shaft.

"This woman's movement technique and weapon are peculiar. Allow me to handle this!"

Upon witnessing the Seventh Elder’s demise, the members of the Ren family dared not underestimate Leng Yanran any longer. A fifth layer of the Boundless Realm elder stepped forward.

However, Leng Yanran paid no attention to such matters. Everyone present from the Ren family was a target she intended to eliminate. Who stepped forward was irrelevant to her.

While dealing with Boundless Realm experts required slightly more effort, she chose instead to charge straight at the Extinction Realm elders!

"How bold!"

Seeing Leng Yanran disregard him and head directly toward the Extinction Realm elders, the Boundless Realm elder was furious.

With a grasp of the air, he conjured a massive spiritual hand, several hundred meters wide, aiming to crush Leng Yanran into pulp!

Yet, Leng Yanran still didn’t dodge.

As the spiritual hand closed into a fist, it seemed she was trapped within it under everyone’s watchful gaze.

"Something’s wrong!"

Before the others could cheer, the elder who launched the attack furrowed his brows. He felt something amiss—despite gripping tightly, he sensed nothing within his grasp!

Squelch

Another piercing sound rang out. When the onlookers turned toward the source, they found that Leng Yanran had somehow appeared behind one of the Ren family’s Extinction Realm experts, her spear impaling him straight through!

"Help—"

Before he could utter another word, Leng Yanran gave her God-Slaying Spear a shake, reducing him to a mist of blood. The spear greedily absorbed the blood and flesh, its shaft beginning to emit a faint crimson glow as its power subtly increased.

"How is she doing this?!"

"Retreat! All Extinction Realm elders, fall back into the house and activate the formation!"

"The three of us at the Boundless Realm will stay and fight!"

Realizing something was wrong, the Ren family clan leader quickly ordered the Extinction Realm elders to retreat and activate the protective formation, leaving only the three Boundless Realm experts to confront the threat.

Hearing the clan leader’s command, the elders dared not delay, fearing that a moment’s hesitation would lead to their deaths at the hands of the deadly spear.

Even so, during their retreat, Leng Yanran struck again with her ghostly movements, taking down two more elders before they could reach safety!

"A formation, is it…"

"Well, this Heavenly Demon Shadow technique is truly useful. It’s no wonder Master praised it so highly!"

Leng Yanran glanced at the Ren family’s defensive formation and raised an eyebrow. Since it was activated, she decided to deal with the three Boundless Realm experts first.

What had seemed like her being hit earlier was, in fact, her use of the Divine Technique contained within the second volume of the Chaotic Chaos Celestial Demon Art — Heavenly Demon Shadow!

"Senior Sister is amazing! You are the best!"

From the side, Li Yurong cheered loudly for her senior sister. Moments earlier, seeing her sister seemingly hit had given her quite the fright. After spending so much time together, she already regarded her master and senior sister as her closest family.

Back at the Holy Mountain, the elders only pushed her to train daily and rarely interacted with her, calling her foolish. Even her elder sister, Li Shenruo, was always engrossed in training and exploring secret realms, never sparing time to play or talk with her.

Only after joining the Heavenly Dao Hall did she gain such a wonderful master and a senior sister who cared for her.

"Young lady, where do you come from, and why must you target my Ren family?"

"If not for our Ancestral Patriarch being in seclusion, how could you act so arrogantly?"

"I advise you to leave now, and my Ren family will spare your life."

The Ren family clan leader, no longer underestimating Leng Yanran, now seemed more perplexed. When had the Ren family provoked such a terrifying woman? Despite being no older than twenty, she could kill across major realms. Such a prodigy was rare even in the Eastern Region, where only Li Shenruo might compare!

"Pfft— Senior Sister, they’re shameless liars!"
