The Heavenly Martial Empress Returns: An OP Xianxia Returnee LitRPG Chapter 112: Bing Xue, The Demon Queen

-----

(Bing Xue’s POV)

I was left slightly speechless after seeing what Peperina could achieve by combining her innate abilities with the training she had undergone so far. I would have happily assisted her before, but she had explicitly asked to let her do this on her own. However, once she was finally over, I imdiately jumped to heal her.

Infernos was surprisingly powerful; despite not having a single speck of knowledge about cultivation or body strengthening, he had managed to create a powerful Aura technique using his Mana alone, alongside the Lesser Divine Essence within his Blessing, as an Avatar of the Barbarian God.

It made him formidable, even more so when taking into consideration his high Level, yet Peperina managed to almost be at the sa level as him before triggering her unique ability. Mostly thanks to my intensive training and the cultivation she underwent, which boosted her innate bloodline abilities and further awakened their power.

“Enough playing around, woman.”

“Hm?”

Oh, right, I was fighting Cultists, and then soone appeared. A tall orc blocked my path, a hybrid between red and green orcs, whose skin was dark brown instead, with a few tattoo-like patches of green and red color resembling flas.

He was over three ters tall, exuding an enormous quantity of Divinity from the Barbarian God, another Avatar, and a strong one at that, probably stronger than Infernos, without a doubt.

A fitting challenger for soone like !

“As one of the strongest Avatars of our God, I will not let you sully his battlefield anymore with your filthy righteousness!” he roared. “As my na, Onyx the Butcherer, shall be honored on this battlefield as I behead you, fiend!”

FLUOSH!

He quickly summoned two enormous swords, wielding them as he imbued them with green- and crimson-colored energies, resembling blazing flas of pure Mana and Divinity mixed together.

“Hah? Good, I wanted to try out this new energy’s power anyway.”

I smiled. The more Souls the Demons I summoned ate, the stronger they grew, and the more Primordial Demonic Heaven Essence I gained. This strange new energy tied to the Dinsional Library Skill was unique in its composition.

“You dare look down on in such a way when you’re rely a human?!”

The furious Onyx rushed towards , leaping forward as his blazing Aura erupted from his legs, and his two giant swords swung down the mont he appeared above .

SLAAASH! SLAAASH!

Two gigantic, cutting waves of green and crimson flas rushed down towards my body, and as I had no necessity to unsheathe any blade anymore, I swung my bare hand, combining it with the new essence together.

“Did you know that where there is Light, there will always be Darkness?”

FLUOSH!

My light suddenly transford, becoming complete darkness, absorbing the Primordial Demonic Heaven Essence, and gaining red and purple colors.

“{Primordial Heaven Soul Blade: Cursed Demon Wolf’s Fangs}”

I swung my hand as the Soul Blade Aura transford, becoming a ferocious wolf that opened its jaws, clashing against the orc’s swords and shattering his Aura instantly.

CRAAASH!

“What…?!”

He gasped in disbelief as the intensity of my attack hit his body. An explosion of darkness engulfed him completely, his entire body rolling over the grass, cursed flas of black and purple covering his wounds.

“Hahhh… Hahhh… W-What was that?!” He muttered in disbelief. “A wolf…! You summoned a wolf?!”

“Would a wolf ever leave such a scar on your chest?” I walked slowly towards him. “It was just a small bite; don’t tell you can’t handle that.”

“Aahh! A slash wound?!” Onyx noticed the huge wound on his chest; it was horizontal and clean. A slash, without a doubt.

“{Soul Blade}…” I said it with a smile. “Have you ever tried to wield your own hands as a sword, young man?”

“My hands?! What bullshit is that?!” Onyx muttered. “Such a thing... That’s just impossible!”

“With that ntality, of course, it’s impossible,” I sighed. “Now co, let’s make this not so boring. Fight and die with honor!”

My two hands materialized swords out of my aura, overflowing with darkness and cursed demonic power. The orc quickly stood back up again, his blazing swords growing larger and his entire body covered in armor of green and crimson fire.

“I’ll show you, filthy human! YOU are the one that shall DIE here!”

FLASH!

Within a single second, he appeared in front of , moving at an incredible speed despite his large build! Impressive; he most likely had mastered so movent-related techniques beyond just re System Skills.

“You’re very fast; well done!”

Our swords clashed, sparks of black and green lightning and flas erupting with each impact; the ground below shattered and the skies above rumbled.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

He’s definitely not as strong as the Primal King, but he does have enough power to be comparable to mighty caven, perhaps almost the sa as Fiery Hair.

That, coupled with swordsmanship techniques that are similar to Caesar, is soone who could challenge him for his throne.

Despite all of that, he’s a lunatic—soone who worships a barbaric god.

And as I promised to those children, I will show no rcy.

“{Rampaging Erald Fla Storm}!”

With a ferocious roar, his attacks beca rapid, generating a constant swirl of green flas around him that quickly manifested a storm, engulfing the two of us.

FLUOSH!

The storm constantly attempted to devour my body, trying to burn and consu my flesh at a rapid speed. Yet it failed to do any damage whatsoever. Nonetheless, it was quite a mighty ability.

“{Erald Flare teor Rain}!!!”

With a roar, and as his eyes turned deep green, he swung his two blades consecutively, dozens of tis over. Each ti, the storm around us manifested gigantic teors made of crystalized green flas, reaching and exploding.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

“Hahaha! Nobody can survive my ultimate technique! I have felled even mighty Players from upper floors with it!” laughed Onyx. “I remain undefeated!”

He swung his arms and raised them into the sky as the storm continued unleashing its flas and wrath against my body.

“A peculiar, if not rather colorful, ability…”

“Huh?!”

However, to his surprise, I moved past his teors. Each ti his teors were to hit , they were sliced apart without even moving my hand or swinging a sword at all.

“{Soul Blade: Sword Physique}”

My enlightennt over the blade has given yet another new ability. To imbue my whole body with the sharpness of Soul Blade, making it so… Anything that hit was sliced apart before it could damage at all.

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

The teors exploded into pieces, shattering apart into tiny green jewels I found quite pretty, so I saved so to examine later.

“I-Impossible…! Unscathed?! U-Utterly unscathed?!”

“Let show you what a true technique looks like. You want to see a storm?”

I spread my arms, my Aura fluctuating as my hands turned into blades, slicing space itself and distorting it. Within a re split second, the orc was engulfed in a gigantic spiraling storm of black flas, demonic curses, and darkness.

FLUOOOSH!

“UAAGH?! W-WHAT…?!”

“{Soul Blade: Black Heaven’s Storm}”

While confused and desperate to learn what was happening, I attacked, rushing towards him. He barely noticed my presence approaching, reinforcing his body with as much power as he could.

“{Body Reinforcent: Diamond Physique}!”

FLASH!

Suddenly, his body was covered with green and red diamonds, harder than any other substance on Earth. He beca utterly invincible.

“Co at ! You won’t be able to damage in this state- Ahh?!”

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

A storm of slashing blows reached his body; the Black Heaven Storm rged with my hands, and each swing of my hands cut through his body as if it were a warm knife through butter.

“N-No…!”

As he saw his body being dismbered, he gritted his teeth as his Aura surged, resembling a giant hand made of green and red flas, perhaps his last resort.

Interesting. Is this Aura Manifestation?

BAAAMMM!!!

The impact hit directly, with enough force to push back into the skies. The explosion of flas engulfed my body, and I felt the heat quite well now.

“Hahhh… Hahahah…! T-This is…?! I’ve achieved sothing new!”

Onyx glanced at his own Aura, as it suddenly manifested more and more arms, his laughter reverberating across the skies.

He’s learning, huh? Becoming stronger over ti in his most desperate monts.

“I have to thank you for that!” He continued laughing. “{Aura Demon}!”

RUMBLE!

His Aura erupted as a giant demon-like titan surged from it. Six massive arms rushed down, hitting constantly with enough force to destroy whole mountains.

BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!

“Hahaha…! HAHAHAHAH! Even without arms, I can still fight! I am invincible among heaven and earth!” he laughed. “I will take over the cult and beco the true leader! Not even Infernos will be able to stop now-”

RUMBLE!

Before he could continue his delusional speech, the entire sky turned black, as did all his surroundings.

“W-What…?! What happened?!”

He was engulfed within a world of endless night and darkness, where demonic creatures started being birthed endlessly, mixed with the shadows and the curses.

“I have to thank you too,” I smiled, surging from within the Domain of Darkness as an enormous Demoness made of shadows and cursed powers. “Your techniques have given a good idea as well.”

{Primordial Black Heaven Domain}: {Cursed Demon Queen’s Shadow Realm}!

My appearance changed, and all my powers of light were shifted upside down, turning into evil and dark powers. The powers that the Library granted continued to evolve my abilities beyond my original scope.

“SHUT UP!!!”

With a furious and frustrated roar, Onyx’s Aura Manifestation attacked ; not only six but then eight, ten, fifteen, and twenty arms rushed towards .

Yet the darkness surrounding him responded faster than he thought. {Soul Blade} manifested within it, forming hundreds of giant shadow blades.

“{Soul Blade}: {Soul-Feasting Shadow Swords}”

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

“Ugh…?!”

Onyx gritted his teeth, as he vomited blood.

BOOOM!

His Aura Manifestation exploded and dissipated as countless blades sliced it apart into countless pieces.

And then further damaged his body, leaving him falling into crystalline, diamond pieces.

“This was an entertaining warmup, if anything,” I said with a smile. “Goodbye.”

“A-Ahhh…!”

Without saying a single word, Onyx started screaming in utter horror as I summoned my physical sword and let it absorb my powers.

It beca a titanic, demonic, cursed blade.

I guess this is overkill, huh?

But after seeing within his mories all the villages he had raided, the won he had raped, and the children he had killed.

What was there to hesitate about?

“Die like the filthy insect you are.”

“HYEEEEEHH!”

With a scream befitting of an insect, my blade sliced through his entire diamond body, countless cracks spread through it and then made him explode apart, his very soul exploding and causing his body to be destroyed even faster.

BOOOMMM!!!

The Domain didn’t disappear but was absorbed by my sword. As I slowly floated back into the grasslands below, the cultists that watched everything were caught off guard as the demons stabbed them in the back and beheaded them.

“A wonderful display of utter malice, my master!” Belze was watching with fascination. “I have never seen such a tyrannical power before! You are truly a Demon!”

“Hah, I will gladly use these powers, but a Demon? Hardly,” I smiled, making the gigantic demonic sword rest on my shoulder. “I’m a human, actually~ Collect those diamond fragnts for ; they’re quite precious materials!”

“Yes ma’am!”

The Demons quickly started gathering everything as I directed my eyes towards another battle, one involving my two beloved mates, Urbosa and rkite, against Leos, the traitorous king of beasts, who, according to them, betrayed the beast tribes after he joined the barbarian god cult seeking even more power and authority over the world.

“Things are only getting more interesting, don’t you think?”

I looked into the skies; the clouds slowly began rumbling harder, with red lightning coming from them.

There was soone seriously annoyed with what was happening.

“You just lost two Avatars already; you’re pretty pathetic for a god.”

RUMBLE!
