All were playing with fire, and the Karma Fire Demon Lord was unconvinced.
In his heart, the boundless karma fire he cultivated was the foremost flame in the world.
He had long been eager to test himself against the Golden Crow in the sky.
Seeing the Golden Crow charge, his heart filled with joy.
He leaped out directly, unfurled the folding fan in his hand, and fanned it towards the sky.
This fan was a magical artifact called the Netherworld Fan.
It could unleash the full power of the Karma Fire Art he cultivated.
As the Netherworld Fan swept through the air, white lotuses bloomed in the sky.
They formed a barrier before the Azure Wood Demon Lord and the Karma Fire Demon Lord, waiting to receive the incoming Golden Crow.
Each white lotus was complete with petals and pistils, crystal clear and translucent.
But upon closer inspection, one would find.
They were not real lotuses, but were condensed from the Nine Nether Karma Fire, which was almost transparent pure white flame.
Though it possessed no heat, it could incinerate everything in the world, including souls.
Otherwise, the Wildfire Demon Lord would not have been so arrogant and overconfident.
But the moment of humiliation came instantly. Although the karma fire was powerful,
the grade of the Golden Crow's fire was no lower than it, if not higher.
The Golden Crow fire, also known as the True Sun Fire, was the source of all fires.
Sensing the power emanating from the lotus-shaped karma fire, the Golden Crow did not pause at all.
Its golden flames surged, like a dazzling sun.
It charged forward, its path like a destructive force.
The karma fire lotuses shattered and vanished like brittle porcelain.
The Karma Fire Demon Lord, whose mind was connected to the white lotuses, immediately suffered a backlash.
With a "wow," he spat out a mouthful of blood.
It stained the front of his white scholar's robe with countless plum blossom patterns.
"Power of Ten Thousand Demons!"
Seeing that the Karma Fire Demon Lord had failed to stop the Golden Crow, the Azure Wood Demon Lord roared.
He thrust his hands forward, and the demonic energy surging around Furong Peak,
as if summoned, was drawn into him like a great whale drinking water.
Then, two beams of azure light shot from his palms.
Instantly, a light shield formed, blocking the Golden Crow.
The Golden Crow, which had passed through the white lotus karma fire unimpeded, encountered a thin layer of light screen.
Not only did it fail to break through, but it was repelled, flying backward for a thousand zhang.
Seeing this, Ji Shiyou swung his Moon Reflection Sword again.
A golden sword energy entered the Golden Crow's body.
The Golden Crow absorbed the sword energy, and its body grew rapidly.
Its size, which was already comparable to the summit of Furong Peak, now blotted out the sky.
With a screech, it charged at the Azure Wood Demon Lord once more.
Ji Shiyou had already realized that this Azure Wood Demon Lord could mobilize the Power of Ten Thousand Demons.
He was the leader of the ten thousand demons, and only by capturing him could the crisis of the ten thousand demons sealing the mountain be resolved.
Therefore, while controlling the Golden Crow to attack again, he cast a spell on the silver dragon transformed from the Spirit Devouring Whip.
This silver dragon, like the Golden Crow, grew dozens of times larger.
It also shook its head and wagged its tail, charging towards the Azure Wood Demon Lord.
"All return! Gather the Power of Ten Thousand Demons, Five Elements Unite!"
Ji Shiyou had unleashed all the means he could currently employ.
This caused the Azure Wood Demon Lord's expression to change drastically. While mobilizing the surrounding Power of Ten Thousand Demons, he shouted.
The other three demon lords, who were fighting separately in the air, immediately ceased their struggles.
They all unleashed their killing moves, intending to return to the Azure Wood Demon Lord's side.
Even the Black Earth Demon Lord, to break free, endured a sword strike from She Conghu.
Blood flowed profusely from his left shoulder, indicating they all felt it.
Ji Shiyou's attack was incredibly powerful.
If they couldn't withstand it, they might all be defeated today.
The five demon lords gathered together, occupying the five elemental positions.
Holding hands, the Azure Wood Demon Lord let out a great shout.
All the demonic energy around Furong Peak was sucked dry by him.
The demonic cultivators present all collapsed, their spirits weakened.
A massive five-colored sphere of light appeared between the five of them.
It was formed by their inversion of the five elements and the condensation of the Power of Ten Thousand Demons.
The five men thrust their right palms forward, sending the sphere of light towards the Golden Crow and the silver dragon.
Ji Shiyou could already feel the immense energy contained within the five-colored sphere of light.
If he hadn't swapped bodies with Mingyue, he might have been able to withstand it.
But now, with only half his cultivation, it was impossible to resist.
He glanced back at Mingyue within the Golden Lotus, and the disciples of the Golden Crow Palace.
And the Sword Sect and Hundred Flowers Palace members, who had already fallen injured and were supporting each other.
If he lost, all these people would perish here.
Ji Shiyou gritted his teeth, bit his tongue, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Using the Moon Reflection Sword in his hand as a brush and his blood as ink,
he wielded it in the air, his strokes like a dragon and snake.
Instantly, a golden, shimmering talisman appeared in the air.
"Shout!"
Ji Shiyou swung his sword, and the talisman immediately disappeared.
However, the Golden Crow and the silver dragon in the distance had their power greatly boosted, matching that of the five-colored sphere.
This talisman was a secret art of the Golden Crow Palace called Soul Burning.
It required burning one's soul power as a price to temporarily boost cultivation.
It was a case of harming the enemy while also damaging oneself.
When Fairy Golden Crow taught it to him, she had solemnly warned him.
Never to use this secret art unless absolutely necessary.
Otherwise, it would damage the soul and pose a threat to his life.
But today, to protect Mingyue and the disciples of the immortal sects.
Ji Shiyou resolutely used it, and he did not regret it.
Under the boost of Soul Burning, the Golden Crow screeched, and the silver dragon roared.
They collided with the five-colored sphere containing the Power of Ten Thousand Demons, and a deafening roar echoed.
The Golden Crow, the silver dragon, and the sphere of light containing the Power of Ten Thousand Demons all vanished.
The immense force generated by the explosion instantly leveled Furong Peak.
The powerful airflow, carrying destructive power, emanated from Furong Peak as the center,
spreading outwards like a tide.
The tens of thousands of demonic cultivators surrounding Furong Peak, whose cultivation had already been drained by the Azure Wood Demon Lord,
were crushed into mincemeat by the surging force.
The cultivators at the mountain pass, who had felt the strong demonic energy emanating from Furong Peak and seen the Golden Crow and silver dragon appear,
had not entered the mountain and were observing from the pass. They were also affected.
However, because they were farther away, there were no casualties.
The Sword Sect and the Hundred Flowers Palace, led by their two elders, formed a defensive formation.
Although they managed to block the immense explosive force, and no one died,
they all collapsed and lost their combat effectiveness.
In terms of defense, the Golden Crown was still the best. It was fortunate that Ji Shiyou had foreseen this.
He had instructed Mingyue to activate the Golden Crown's ultimate mode in advance.
Mingyue and the Golden Crow Palace disciples within the Golden Lotus were safe and sound.
They didn't even lose a single hair in the face of the violent explosion.
"Ji Shiyou, are you alright?"
Mingyue watched with her own eyes as Ji Shiyou's figure fell from the sky after the explosion.
Looking around, she saw no sign of the Five Elements Demon Lords.
She quickly ran out from within the Golden Lotus.
Disregarding her own injuries, she tried to drag Ji Shiyou into the Golden Lotus.
She thought that once they were inside the Golden Lotus, they would be safe.
Mingyue, holding the unconscious Ji Shiyou, was still two zhang away from the Golden Lotus.
Her worst fear materialized. Five figures appeared; they were the Five Elements Demon Lords.
Protected by the Power of Ten Thousand Demons, they had withstood the explosion's force and were unharmed.
"Golden Crow Palace disciples, so cowardly.
Throughout the entire battle, you've been like turtles hiding in their shells.
Hiding in this Golden Lotus, you're truly disgracing Fairy Golden Crow.
It seems she shouldn't be called Golden Crow, but Golden Turtle."
The Azure Wood Demon Lord sneered as he looked at the Golden Crow Palace disciples within the Golden Lotus.
"Form ranks, we'll fight him to the death!"
Led by Tian Jian, the Golden Crow Palace disciples were immediately incensed. When the Sword Sect and Hundred Flowers Palace disciples had made their move earlier,
they had requested Mingyue to go out and help.
They had been suppressed by Mingyue in her capacity as the senior disciple, and resentment had been brewing within them.
Now, being mocked like this, they were instantly enraged.
Regardless of whether they were a match for their opponents, their minds went blank.
Before Mingyue could stop them, they rushed out of the Golden Lotus.
As a result, they were quickly subdued by the Black Earth Demon Lord, one by one, with a single blow from his staff.
Mingyue cursed inwardly, "These fools.
That was a provocation, can't you see?"
"Everyone, we were just passing by and didn't interfere with any of you.
We'll leave now and won't delay your good fortune!"
Mingyue wore a fawning smile, bowed repeatedly, and acted like a sycophant.
"No, she should be Fairy Golden Crow's disciple, and she must die."
The Azure Wood Demon Lord said coldly, raising his hand and sending a beam of azure light towards Mingyue and Ji Shiyou.
