"Hmm?" The Demon Lord sensed that Shi Potian, deep underground, was rushing straight down into the heart of the Demon Army, which was where his true body was.
It seems I underestimated Shi Potian. Even a single strike from a Void Refinement cultivator's Yang God technique couldn't kill him, but he must have been seriously injured, right?
"Think you can hide underground and be safe? Let's see how you withstand this attack!" Demon Lord Yang Shen slammed down with his palm, and the raging demonic flames gathered into a huge palm print that crashed down, crushing hundreds of demonic cultivators into a bloody pulp.
"Power of the Fire Phoenix!" The fire phoenix mark on Shi Potian's arm suddenly lit up, and his whole body was enveloped in scorching flames, even burning the surrounding soil and rocks to ashes.
boom!
Shi Potian burst forth from the ground, directly beneath the Demon Lord's true form, unleashing a full-force attack with his fiery fist, shouting, "Kill!"
The Chu Kingdom is very skilled in fire magic, and the power of the Fire Phoenix has further enhanced the power of the flames. A peak Nascent Soul cultivator can use this technique to resist a Nascent Soul cultivator, and it is certainly possible for an early Nascent Soul cultivator to destroy the physical body of a Void Refinement cultivator with this technique.
The Demon Lord dared not delay and hurriedly ordered the Yang God to return to his place. Then he transformed his body into a cloud of demonic energy, and his technique was exactly the same as that of the demonic messenger in the sky.
puff!
Shi Potian pierced through the demonic cloud, but it was to no avail. Instead, he was gripped by the giant hand formed by the demonic cloud and could not break free. He could temporarily block it with the power of the fire phoenix, but once the firepower was exhausted, it would be dangerous.
The cultivators of the Central Yuan Continent felt a chill in their hearts. It was normal for the demon envoy to have the cultivation level of the Void Refinement stage, but the Demon Lord had been in the Demon Source Sea all along. It was already remarkable for him to break through from the Nascent Soul stage to the Divine Transformation stage. Yet now he actually had the cultivation level of the Void Refinement stage, which was a whole major realm higher than Shi Potian.
High in the sky, Bai Mei's expression was solemn. Although Shi Potian was strong, it was impossible for him to kill the Refining Void Demon Lord while at the Nascent Soul stage. However, he was also besieged by the Twelve Heavenly Demons and could not break through in a short time. It seemed that he was going to lose this decisive battle.
Just then, a force of tens of thousands of cultivators appeared in the east and headed straight for the battlefield.
The Qin patriarch originally intended to make a desperate attempt to rescue Shi Potian, but upon seeing this situation, he guessed that the demon army from the east had arrived, so he abandoned the rescue.
As for the present situation, what other option is there besides preserving the seeds of fire from the Central Plains and sending them south to the wilderness?
"By my order, all cultivators of the Qin Kingdom..."
"Hahaha... The reinforcements from Zhongyuan have arrived! The Zhongyuan cultivators from the southeast who wiped out the Eastern Route Army of the Demon Clan have arrived! The Demon Clan is going to be defeated, hahaha..." Shi Potian suddenly burst into uncontrollable laughter, interrupting the Qin Kingdom Ancestor's words. At this moment, he finally understood what the divine object was all about.
The Demon Lord, hidden within the demonic clouds, sneered, "Shi Potian, have you gone mad? Even if there's a second Nascent Soul cultivator in the Southeast, they're no match for me. I'm invincible in this world..."
Bang!
"Ah!" The Demon Lord foamed at the mouth and spun around as he flew out, his body twisted into a bizarre angle, managing to kiss his own buttocks!
Xiang Yu slowly withdrew his fist, his face full of disdain. "The Refining Void Demon Lord is nothing special. You old demon, do you dare to fight me?"
The entire battlefield fell silent instantly; you could hear a pin drop!
The demon envoy's eyes widened. He knew the Demon Lord's strength better than anyone, yet he had been sent flying with a single blow, and it seemed that the other party had even held back. But there could never be a fourth Void Refinement Realm cultivator in this world, absolutely impossible!
"Who exactly are you?"
"The Feather God Sect, the Overlord Xiang Yu!"
Chapter 473 Mahayana
"The Feather God Sect, the Overlord Xiang Yu!"
Xiang Yu's roar caused the heavens and earth to change color.
All the cultivators stopped fighting to see who had knocked the Demon Lord away with a single blow and dared to challenge the Envoy of the Refining Void Demon Clan.
Feather God Sect? Overlord Xiang Yu?
The cultivators from all sides racked their brains but couldn't recall any country with such a powerful sect. They had never heard of Xiang Yu before, but since Xiang Yu came from the east with cultivators from Wu and Yue, they were most likely cultivators from the southeast.
The demonic clouds dissipated, Shi Potian was freed, and the power of the Fire Phoenix also disappeared. "Shi Potian pays respects to the Overlord!"
He already knew Xiang Yu's identity as a reclusive master through the Shadow System. In any case, Xiang Yu had saved his life, and given his terrifying strength in knocking the Demon Lord away with a single blow, it wouldn't hurt to show him some respect.
"Alright, leave the Demon Lord and the Demon Envoy to me. You go and deal with the other demon cultivators," Xiang Yu ordered.
"Yes!" Shi Potian was thrilled. This great battle had finally taken a turn for the better. He could survive without surrendering to the demons, and he could even live a good life.
The patriarchs of Qi and Jin exchanged a glance. "Let's fight it out. We have no way out!"
"Indeed! The Demon Lord must have been careless just now. There can't possibly be anyone stronger than a Void Refinement cultivator in this world!"
Just then, a figure stood up from the pile of rubble in the distance; it was none other than the True Demon Lord, who had fully recovered from his injuries.
"Who is it? Who dares to ambush me!" The True Demon Lord's face was extremely ugly. He had just made a boast and was immediately humiliated. If it weren't for the True Demon System helping him, he would already be dead by now.
The Jin and Qi ancestors exchanged a knowing smile. "The Demon Lord was indeed ambushed! He's completely unharmed. This is going to be interesting! If the Demon Lord gets angry, won't there be widespread suffering?"
"Holy crap! There's a system reaction in his body!" Hao Jiu had already suspected that this young guy who could unify the Demon Source Sea was a system host, but Xiang Yu had just tested him and felt that his strength wasn't that great.
However, since it can recover instantly with a cheat code, there is a high possibility that it has a system inside its body, and after trying it, it turned out to be true.
You could say this was an unexpected encounter with the system, a surprise battle.
"There's no need for a sneak attack. I charged straight at you from a great distance and sent you flying with a single punch. You were just too weak to react in time."
Xiang Yu gripped the Overlord's Divine Halberd tightly. The host, a mid-level Void Refinement Realm cultivator, was arguably the strongest opponent he had ever encountered. Although the Friendship System and the Blood Demon System he had faced before were also powerful, they were ultimately suppressed by the plane of existence, preventing them from unleashing their true strength.
The Demon Lord's forehead veins throbbed. Of course he knew how he had been attacked, but for the sake of his pride, even if it wasn't a sneak attack, it was still a sneak attack. Attacking without announcing his name was a sneak attack!
"Really? Then try it again."
"Alright." Before Xiang Yu finished speaking, he vanished completely.
Whoosh!
The Overlord's Divine Halberd sliced through the demonic clouds, but the Demon Lord had vanished without a trace.
However, Xiang Yu's golden double pupils suddenly widened, and his domineering energy enveloped his fist, which he punched the Demon Lord Yang Shen, who was grinning wickedly beside him.
Swoosh...
The Demon Lord Yang Shen has flown away, and has even been forced to reveal his true form!
"He has the Eye of Dharma!" the demon envoy in the air exclaimed.
Bai Mei also gasped. Had the Demon Lord Yang Shen's sneak attack backfired and sent flying?
No, it should be said that they directly destroyed the Demon Lord's Yang Spirit!
The Demon Lord's consciousness was expelled from his Yang God, and his Yang God disintegrated shortly after manifesting, turning into specks of starlight and disappearing.
One punch shatters the Yang God!
puff.
Suddenly, a mouthful of blood spurted out from somewhere in the Demon Cloud. The Demon Lord's Yang Spirit was destroyed, and his physical body was also injured. He would need to recuperate for a period of time to recover.
But the Demon Lord has a system that allows him to recover instantly. Even so, he dares not use Yang God anymore, because the other party can see him even when he is not in Yang God state.
Fortunately, his demonic cloud state was formless and intangible, and he could maintain this state for a long time. If he had not suffered a backlash from the Yang God, he would not have been injured at all and could have remained invincible.
At this moment, the area of the demonic clouds in the sky has shrunk considerably. The demon envoy had initially created such a large area to make a show of force, which naturally consumed a great deal of energy.
The situation has changed. The demon army cannot win quickly, and it is even uncertain whether they can win at all. They must conserve their strength.
"Hahaha, no matter who this overlord is, you're all doomed!" Bai Mei was in high spirits. It seemed he was a man of great fortune; surviving such a calamity meant good luck was sure to follow!
The demon envoy gritted his teeth and said, "You should worry about yourself first; your bell is cracked!"
It seemed that they had no choice but to ask for help. Thinking of this, the demon envoy suddenly appeared and crushed a talisman.
Bai Mei's expression changed drastically. "Oh no! The demons still have teleportation arrays! They've called for help from the demon realm! Overlord, quickly save me!"
"Okay." Xiang Yu agreed and flew into the sky, however...
"Don't even think about going to save him!" The Demon Lord used his Demon Cloud Divine Power to trap Xiang Yu and buy time for the Demon Envoy.
"Oh?" Xiang Yu indeed felt the resistance, so he drew his Emperor's Sword. "Destroy!"
Sizzle sizzle...
Lightning flashed, and a thundercloud suddenly overlapped with the demonic cloud.
"Ah..." The Demon Lord's miserable roar echoed through the sky. The demon race feared lightning the most!
"And you too." Xiang Yu decided not to go to heaven anymore. He pointed his Emperor's Sword into the distance, and a thick bolt of lightning shot straight into the sky, splitting into twelve streams that struck the twelve Heavenly Demons.
The twelve demons immediately let out a mournful cry and vanished...
The cultivation world is rich in spiritual energy, and this immortal sword has finally shown its divine power!
However, the lightning stored inside takes a long time to recover after each use. If you want to recover quickly, you can consume spirit stones.
But Hao Jiu was reluctant to use spirit stones like that. Anyway, he had seven Emperor Swords, so he could just switch between them.
The demon envoy's expression changed drastically, and he turned to flee, but was stopped by Bai Mei.
"So eager to leave? I have a new score to settle with you!" White Eyebrows put away the somewhat damaged bell and unleashed a powerful spell attack. Countless sword shadows rained down. This was the move he originally used in his desperate fight, which had been brewing within the bell for a long time!
The demon envoy was instantly severely injured and was thoroughly beaten by Bai Mei; it seemed he was about to be killed.
On the ground, the lightning gradually subsided, and the demonic clouds dissipated.
The air was filled with the aroma of meat and the smell of burning meat. The Demon Lord's broken body was revealed, and it was a pitiful sight!
However, the Demon Lord did not die and quickly recovered, taking out a black bead from his pocket.
"Very well, you've successfully angered me. You think you can kill me with the power of your magic weapon? Heh heh, you won't get your chance!"
Xiang Yu pointed his sword at the Demon Lord, and lightning struck again. However, a black shield appeared on the Demon Lord's body, blocking the lightning. Moreover, the lightning emitted by the Emperor's Sword became less and less, disappearing after a couple of hissing sounds.
"Hahaha... Your magic weapon is useless now, it's my turn to attack." The Demon Lord has a system, so he's very confident. He can infinitely heal his injuries and wear down his opponent until he dies!
Xiang Yu sheathed the Emperor's Sword, saying, "There will be powerful enemies later, so you're no longer of use."
"Hmm? What nonsense!" The Demon Lord unleashed his strongest attack, the demonic flames raging to the heavens, utterly terrifying.
However, the next second, the Demon Lord's body was torn to pieces. Then, a mountain of sword energy swept by, and the Demon Lord was not even left with a trace. Even his nascent soul did not have time to escape.
Without using any magic weapons, a single thought can instantly kill a Void Refinement cultivator!
The demon envoy was horrified, and Bai Mei's breath caught in his throat. This was...
"A Mahayana cultivator!"
