This Young Master is not Cannon Fodder - Chapter 538

As soon as he sensed the Demon Clan’s action, Tianyi, along with the other immortal emperors and sovereign, counterattacked.

Tianyi unleashed the attack he had long been preparing. As soon as Ba Shifang took to the field, he had already prepared a Constellation Cessation inside the Nine Heavens Universe. Although Ba Shifang was no longer his clone, it didn’t mean Tianyi was willing to give up on him.

A hole appeared in Tianyi’s palm, and a miniature sun orbited by eight equally small planets shot out. They slammed straight into Demon Emperor Redraco’s blood breath. Although the blood breath did not have any extra power, it was still a dragon king’s breath, so its power should not be underestimated, but the Constellation Cessation remained unperturbed and blasted through it.

If it was a normal Constellation Cessation, Demon Emperor Redraco’s dragon breath would have long caused Tianyi’s attack to explode ahead of time, but Tianyi had much more time to prepare this particular Constellation Cessation, resulting in its stability and power being greater.

Demon Emperor Redraco did not force it upon seeing his breath make little impact. He retreated and ordered the other demons to evade as far as possible. Luckily, only demon emperors like himself were at the forefront. They had enough power, vision and speed to dodge, while the rest of the demons were farther away in the back, just in case this exact scenario occurred.

Tianyi’s reinforced Constellation Cessation exploded and expanded to over a hundred kilometers. Its range could have reached over ten times bigger, but that would implicate the humans, so Tianyi reigned in its power. That only made the power more dangerous, instantly killing the demon lords and demon kings caught within. Those at the edge made it out alive, but their injuries effectively made them noncombatants.

The Scarletblood Dragon had already rushed forward toward Tianyi, ignoring the Constellation Cessation. Tianyi posed too great of a threat to be left alone. Not only was he capable of spamming devastating moves without end, he had an abnormal defense that their combined innate ability could not crush. With Demon Emperor Blacktiger’s death, their trump card was no longer meaningful.

Still, that did not mean Demon Emperor Redraco feared Tianyi. As long as he played his cards right, Tianyi could not kill him. Doubly so, since Demon Empress Bluefeather also charged at Tianyi. The two were tasked with holding him back and preventing him from bombarding the true demons.

That’s right, hold him back. If the Demon Clan concentrated their forces, Demon Emperor Redraco had the confidence to kill Tianyi, but how was that possible in an all-out war? Tianyi wasn’t alone and his allies weren’t there just for show either.

Demon Emperor Redraco rushed forward. With his Realm Dragon Scales, he did not fear Tianyi’s Stellar Silence, and he would not give the latter time to unleash a Constellation Cessation. Demon Empress Bluefeather did not engage in close combat. Instead, she brought out her Sacred Fire Grotto.

A domain expanded from the Sacred Fire Grotto, reflecting the realm within. The realm projection temporarily changed the void outside and granted Demon Empress Bluefeather partial control over it. With it, she suppressed Tianyi. Any qi that flowed outside his body would be disrupted. Meaning that he could only use his art skills to combat a dragon.

At least, that was the plan.

Tianyi ignored the void that turned fiery red. His skin turned dark, like a hole in reality. The darkness did not last long, as tiny motes of lights glittered across his skin. The most eye-catching lights were the two eyes that resembled stars. Accompanying the change was his increasing size. Soon, he reached the same height as Demon Emperor Redraco. Countless stars glittered in his body, forming galaxies and constellations.

This wasn’t the first time Tianyi used this form. Normally, he preferred to keep his size the same and don his cosmos robe, but facing demons forced him to change his plan. After seeing Ba Shifang’s Five Element Planetary Titan, Tianyi also upgraded his gigantization technique. It hadn’t reached the same efficiency because he only had a short time to improve it, but in terms of pure power, it exceeded Ba Shifang’s Five Element Planetary Titan.

Tianyi called it the Nine Heavens Cosmic Titan.

The Nine Heavens Cosmic Titan didn’t immediately attack. Its back rippled, and a ring appeared behind it. Various weapons appeared, ranging from a sword, saber, staff, chakram, spindle, wheel, hammer, and a multitude of other arms. The titan reached back and pulled out a sword and slashed down.

‘It shouldn’t be a surprise. The Nine Heavens Emperor used the Law of Spacetime, so it’s not strange for his giant technique to have some peculiarities. If it were other humans, the consumption would be too much. But for him? It’s nothing. How damnable.’

Since he couldn’t injure Tianyi even with Demon Empress Bluefeather’s aid, Demon Emperor Redraco switched from offense to defense. The Nine Heavens Cosmic Titan would still fire Constellation Cessation at the contemporary Vermillion Bird. The pressure, which should have been focused on Demon Emperor Redraco, was placed on the demon empress. But that was the case even before the demon emperor’s assault weakened.

Tianyi naturally saw Demon Emperor Redraco’s change of strategy. He could continue to play with the two of them, but that would reduce his usage in the war. If his attacks could escape the range of the Sacred Fire Grotto, that would have been fine, but they can’t.

He didn’t want to use the trump card he prepared for the realm beast, either. In that case...

Tianyi narrowed his eyes. The Nine Heavens Cosmic Titan stopped attacking Demon Empress Bluefeather. It didn’t reach behind to grab a weapon. Instead, silver talons appeared on its hand. They were the Metal Source Talons once owned by the deceased Demon Emperor Blacktiger.

Upon seeing them, fury rose in Demon Emperor Redraco’s eyes, but he didn’t allow it to cloud his judgement. Although they retrieved the White Tiger’s blood essence, they failed to get the Metal Source Talon. The new White Tiger was still too weak, and he couldn’t join the battle. And the Demon Clan already expected Tianyi or the other humans to use it.

The Nine Heavens Cosmic Titan’s hand formed a claw and struck forward. White light coated each finger, making it seem like a sword. The Scarletblood Dragon twisted its body to dodge, but the cosmic titan moved at an unexpected angle. Coupled with its ethereal movements, they struck true.

Sparks flew as the Metal Source Talons slid across the Realm Dragon Scale. Demon Emperor Redraco felt a force penetrating through his realm artifact and into his body. He gritted his teeth and endured it. Although both of them were realm artifacts and his Realm Dragon Scales were a higher quality than the Metal Source Talons, the defensive artifacts had to spread its power over a larger area. In contrast to the offensive artifact, which concentrated its power at a single point.

Demon Emperor Redraco instantly fell to a disadvantage. He could feel the Nine Heavens Cosmic Titan growing more accustomed to using the Metal Source Talons with each move. With each passing second, Tianyi’s proficiency grew. Even Demon Empress Bluefeather’s efforts amounted to little.

The demon empress wanted to harm Tianyi while he wasn’t paying attention. After all, the qingluan Daoyi killed was her descendant. Her wrath was not weaker than the Phoenix Patriarch. Helplessly, she could only bombard from afar, to little effect.

The one time she neared, the Nine Heavens Cosmic Titan abandoned Demon Emperor Redraco and attacked her with full force. Without the Realm Dragon Scales, she was much more susceptible to Tianyi’s onslaught.

Left with no choice, Demon Emperor Redraco activated the Realm Dragon Scales to their maximum potential again. Yet, it changed little. Sure, the attacks did not deal damage to him, but his qi consumption increased. At this rate, he would run out of qi, forcing him to flee before then or become a sitting duck to the Nine Heavens Cosmic Titan’s claws.

Demon Emperor Redraco and Demon Empress Bluefeather discussed many strategies and settled on the one with the biggest possibility of gaining victory, or injuring Tianyi and forcing him from the battlefield like all those years ago.

The Scarletblood Dragon, which was attacking the cosmic titan, retreated without warning. The sudden change made Tianyi pause for a moment. It was at this moment that contemporary Azure Dragon and Vermillion Bird activated their innate abilities.

The manifestation of the Azure Dragon and Vermillion Bird phantoms announced the appearance of the Two Element Annihilation. The Nine Heavens Cosmic Titan attempted to dodge, but was nailed in place by the two demon emperor’s offensive.
