Bao Hua had a vague idea of what was going on, and she quickly used her best divination skills. After calculating, she was shocked and said, "Nirvana, you should make the decision on this matter."
"How will the battle proceed?" Nirvana asked coldly.
"It's very simple. I will fight against the three progenitors of your Demon Realm all by myself. I will use any means necessary. This battle will decide the outcome!" Xiang Yu said loudly.
"How arrogant! We accept the challenge! If even the three progenitors cannot defeat you, then the submission of the demon race is meaningless!" Nirvana said, glancing at Baohua.
“I agree. There’s no time to lose. Yuan Yan received my message and has already arrived at the place where the Mother of the Cicadas is sealed. Since we need to deal with the Mother of the Cicadas no matter who wins or loses, let’s set the duel there,” Bao Hua suggested.
"Alright, lead the way." Xiang Yu mounted his black horse.
"Feather God, please follow me." After saying this, Bao Hua sped off towards the direction of the Land of the Beginning Seal.
Nirvana started a little late and fell behind, but he took out a communication talisman to contact Yuan Yan and tell him to prepare in advance.
Seeing that Xiang Yu could keep up with her speed, Bao Hua immediately used her strongest escape technique to rush to the Land of Origin at full speed. Nirvana sneered, transformed, and accelerated to follow.
Turu luru.
The black horse snorted and quickly caught up with Baohua, who was at the front, keeping pace with her. However, it was Nirvana Ancestor at the back who lagged behind.
The three people and one horse traversed the sky, encountering many moths ravaging the demon realm along the way, but they did not stop.
Finally, they arrived at the Land of Origin, where Xiang Yu met Yuan Yan, the third progenitor of the Demon Realm, who stood atop the giant three-headed demonic dragon.
Yuan Yan was dressed in a black robe, with a handsome face, a pair of light purple eyes, and sword-like eyebrows that flew straight up to his temples. His expressionless face added a touch of murderous aura.
His natal spirit beast, the Three-Headed Demon Dragon, possesses the bloodline of an evil dragon and has a very cool appearance. Moreover, Yuan Yan also possesses the Xuan Tian Black Dagger, a treasure of the Demon Realm, which seems much more powerful than Nirvana. However, in reality, it is the weakest among the three progenitors.
Bao Hua smiled sweetly, "Does the Feather God need to rest for a while?"
"No need, let's begin." Xiang Yu told his horse, Wuzhui, to wait on a nearby island, and then took out his Overlord's Halberd.
"The Feather God really cherishes his mount," Bao Hua said with a smile.
"It's not that I cherish her, it's that I'm afraid you'll be resentful if she's there," Xiang Yu said truthfully.
"Hehe, let's see if you can still be so arrogant later." Nirvana recovered as he traveled, and now he could use the Nirvana Holy Body for a long time again.
"Three-headed Demon Dragon, go play with Yu Shen's mount. Just don't eat it; at least leave it a whole corpse." Yuan Yan drew his Xuan Tian Black Dagger. He had already received Nirvana's message and knew about the situation of this duel. Naturally, he harbored deep malice towards Xiang Yu, who was trying to make them submit.
The three-headed demonic dragon roared three times, opened its blood-red maw, and pounced on the black horse, intending to eat it first and wonder what it would taste like.
Yuan Yan knew what kind of creature the Three-Headed Demon Flood Dragon was, but he didn't care. He just wanted to make this Feather God watch his mount become the Three-Headed Demon Flood Dragon's prey before the duel started, so as to throw him into a daze!
“Begin.” As Baohua spoke, she drew a short knife and threw it to Nirvana.
"Hahaha... Xuan Tian Ruyi Blade! I am invincible!" Nirvana laughed loudly. With this Xuan Tian treasure, he was sure he could break through that guy's defense.
"Use it carefully, don't break it." Bao Hua rolled her eyes at Nirvana, then took out a strange weapon that looked like a tree. It was Bao Hua's second Xuan Tian Supreme Treasure, the Xuan Tian Flower Tree. Bao Hua's reputation for having many treasures was well-deserved.
"Hehe, how could this human brat possibly destroy such a profound treasure?" Nirvana was full of confidence and directly activated the Nirvana Holy Body, with two three-headed, six-armed golden demons striking a domineering pose.
Yuan Yan snorted coldly, his entire body slowly fading until he disappeared, hiding himself away, ready to launch a sneak attack and kill him at any moment.
Just then.
"Aow!" The three-headed demonic dragon let out a shrill scream. Two of its three heads had already exploded, leaving only one!
gurgle...
With a look of disgust, the black horse kicked the last of the demonic dragon's heads with its hoof.
Yuan Yan clutched his chest and materialized, it's heartbreaking!
Chapter 516 Battle Against the Three Demons
The three-headed demonic dragon instantly transformed into a three-necked demonic dragon and was defeated.
Yuan Yan was heartbroken; this was a spirit beast with the bloodline of an evil dragon! There was only one of its kind in the entire Three Realms!
"What are you waiting for? I'll make the first move, and then you won't have a chance to make a move."
"You madman, I'll kill you!" Yuan Yan gripped the Xuan Tian Black Dagger and charged forward, but vanished again the instant he approached Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu's golden double pupils gleamed as he discovered that Yuan Yan had actually hidden behind Nirvana, concealing himself behind him in accordance with his movements. It seemed that Yuan Yan was not truly blinded by rage; compared to winning this duel, avenging the Three-Headed Demon Flood Dragon was nothing.
Nirvana naturally knew how powerful Yuan Yan's three-headed demonic dragon was, but he never expected that it would have its three heads blown off by a horse so soon. Only then did he recall what Xiang Yu had said earlier: if they let this horse participate in the battle, they would be dissatisfied if they lost!
Suddenly, the Xuan Tian Flower Tree in Bao Hua's hand emitted a dazzling light, and the flower buds bloomed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Then, pink petals fell continuously from the Xuan Tian Flower Tree, seemingly endless.
Xiang Yu immediately felt the surrounding space solidify, and the entire area turned into a pink ocean, making it impossible to absorb any spiritual energy. This move had a huge limitation on cultivators in the spirit realm.
"Attack with all your might, don't hold back!" Bao Hua shouted. Her Xuan Tian Ling Yu move was not yet complete, it was only a half-finished product, but its power was quite remarkable.
"Understood!" Nirvana and Nirvana Holy Body rushed forward instantly, attacking Xiang Yu from both sides.
The Nirvana True Body held the Xuan Tian Ruyi Blade, which shone brightly and grew several times larger. Meanwhile, the Nirvana Holy Body held six weapons and spun them counterclockwise at high speed, emitting six chilling beams of light!
Yuan Yan suddenly appeared behind Xiang Yu, and the Xuan Tian Black Dagger silently stabbed forward. Meanwhile, Bao Hua was brewing some powerful move, and the Xuan Tian Treasure Tree grew larger and larger.
The momentum for certain victory is unstoppable; the combined power of the three Demon Ancestors is terrifying!
Xiang Yu appeared motionless, but in reality, he had already concentrated an extremely high concentration of domineering energy around himself. He could have hidden in another dimension to dissipate it, but he didn't. What he wanted was a thoroughly enjoyable battle!
"Kill!" Xiang Yu roared, and the Overlord Divine Halberd swept across the room with a fierce strike. The move was simple but as fast as lightning. The first target was the Nirvana Body itself. Once he was killed, the Nirvana Holy Body clone on the other side would also collapse.
"Break!" The Nirvana Ancestor fully activated the Xuan Tian Ruyi Blade in his hand, advancing instead of retreating, and slashed at the Overlord Divine Halberd. Whether in the Spirit Realm or the Demon Realm, the Xuan Tian Treasure is the most powerful weapon. How could ordinary iron possibly block it?
Clang!
Sparks are flying everywhere!
Nirvana gasped in shock. His full-force attack with the Xuan Tian Ruyi Blade had been blocked by a piece of 'ordinary iron' that had no magical energy fluctuations whatsoever!
Not only was Nirvana blocked, but he was also sent flying by Xiang Yu's powerful blow!
At the same time.
puff!
Blood splattered!
Yuan Yan's sneak attack succeeded, and the Xuan Tian Black Dagger flew out of his hand, striking Xiang Yu's back. However, it failed to penetrate any further, and Yuan Yan himself was covered in blood and vomited profusely.
Nirvana had already informed Yuan Yan that Xiang Yu had some kind of invisible protective spikes, which is why he used a flying knife to launch a sneak attack. Although the attack power was reduced, it was still better than having his arm pierced.
But now, Yuan Yan's problem isn't just that his arm was pierced; his entire body is riddled with stabs like a plug. This is only because the Demon Race's Mahayana physique is so strong. If it were an ordinary Spirit Race Mahayana, this attack would probably be fatal.
Xiang Yu had anticipated Yuan Yan's sneak attack. Since it was a sneak attack, his back was the best position to attack. The spiked armor on his back had reached an unprecedented level of strength and could even be launched.
Yuan Yan only threw a Xuan Tian Black Dagger at Xiang Yu, but Xiang Yu threw several highly concentrated spikes of domineering energy back at him. Poor Yuan Yan, although he was a demon, was not a type of demon with very high defense.
Nirvana's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. It was true that Yuan Yan was the weakest of the three progenitors, but he was still one of the top three Mahayana experts among the hundreds of demon races. His attacks were not so easy to block, especially since he had used the Xuan Tian Supreme Treasure.
In an instant, Nirvana realized that Xiang Yu had not used his full strength when they fought one-on-one before!
Upon realizing this, Nirvana hurriedly controlled his Holy Body clone to retreat, but it was too late!
Xiang Yu used the Overlord's Moon-Shaving Step to create distance, then swung his Overlord's Divine Halberd at the Nirvana Holy Body.
boom!
Click click click...
The weapon of the Nirvana Holy Body is a manifestation, with strength comparable to the Heavenly Treasure or the Xuantian Remnant Treasure. It is not afraid of even the Xuantian Ruyi Blade and the Xuantian Black Dagger.
At this moment, the six weapons of the Nirvana Holy Body shattered one after another, and the Nirvana Holy Body itself was cleaved in two by Xiang Yu's halberd!
At this moment, Bao Hua's powerful attack was finally completed, and nearly a hundred pink demonic flowers on the Xuan Tian Treasure Tree simultaneously flashed and floated down from the tree.
"Go!" Bao Huaxiang flicked her sleeve and shouted. The pink demonic flowers shot out at great speed, transforming into clusters of demonic flames halfway through their flight. These flames enveloped Xiang Yu and the Nirvana Holy Body that had been split in two, forming a huge ball of fire.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle...
The domineering energy armor emitted a sizzling sound. Xiang Yu quickly expanded the energy armor, forming a large safe space, like the three-foot qi wall of the Yi Jin Jing, keeping the demonic flames several feet away.
However, the domineering energy could not push the demonic flames too far; it began to collapse when it thinned to a certain extent.
From this perspective, the move that Bao Hua used with the Xuan Tian Flower Tree was indeed extraordinary, and it was very close to a true immortal-level spell.
Of course, Yuan Yan had tampered with the arena he prepared, making the demonic energy in this area several times denser; otherwise, its power wouldn't be so great.
Even so, Xiang Yu remained calm and composed inside, without uttering a sound. In fact, Xiang Yu was also suffering under the high temperature, but he was just more tolerant.
Seeing this, Bao Hua muttered incantations, and the demonic flames immediately squeezed inward, raising the temperature again. It felt as if the surrounding space was being burned and distorted, forcing Nirvana and Yuan Yan to stand further away.
"Fellow Daoist Yu Shen, you have lost. It's not too late to admit defeat now. There was no need for us to fight to the death in the first place." Nirvana's Holy Body clone was destroyed and suffered a considerable backlash, but if he could win this bet, it would still be a gain.
Yuan Yan had just swallowed a pill, and the blood holes on his body had healed, and his complexion had improved a lot. "Hehe, just admitting defeat isn't enough, you still have to compensate me with three demonic dragons!"
At this moment, the demon army watching Xiang Yu in the alternate dimension cheered. The three progenitors were indeed powerful when they joined forces. It turned out that the Nirvana Progenitor and the Nightmare Progenitor had suffered losses before in order to lure this villain into the trap of the Treasure Flower Progenitor!
Burn him!
"My demon race has no need to join forces with the human race!"
"After eliminating him, we can continue our attack on the human race and surely achieve victory!"
...
The Nirvana Copper Demon Avatar and the other Demon Ancestors looked tense. They also hoped that the three progenitors could win and that the demonic flames of the Treasure Flower could burn Xiang Yu to death. However, they could see clearly from the alternate dimension that Xiang Yu had only sweated a little.
Just then, a multidimensional portal suddenly opened around Xiang Yu, and raging demonic flames instantly burned into the multidimensional space!
Sizzle...
"ah……"
Chapter 517 Spiritual Realm
Although the gate to the other dimension only opened for a moment before closing, most of the demonic flames surged into it, causing the demons inside to scream in agony. Even the Great Ascension stage Saint Ancestor could not withstand it.
Those demons who were the first to come into close contact with the demonic flames were the demons who were pointing and commenting on Xiang Yu. Those with lower cultivation levels were directly turned to ashes, which was equivalent to taking a direct hit from the Ancestor Baohua.
Many demons had planned to rush out together when the alternate dimension opened again, but the outside was filled with demonic flames. Let alone rushing out, they would be scalded if they got even a little close.
Therefore, all Bao Hua and the others saw was a flash of green space before the demonic flames disappeared.
“Spirit Realm!” Bao Hua exclaimed. It’s no wonder she misunderstood; the Door-Door Fruit’s alternate dimension and the Spirit Realm are so similar, both being self-contained spaces. This is the realm she has been pursuing, but unfortunately, she has not yet been able to fully comprehend it.
