Xuanyuan Xun, Rong Guang, and Shangguan Yulin watched Ye Lingyuan battling the Demon Ant King alone, a wry smile playing on their lips.
The distance between geniuses lies in diligence, while the distance for monsters lies in innate talent.
Man and demon exchanged over a thousand blows in the blink of an eye.
Initially, Ye Lingyuan was at a disadvantage, but now, he was fighting the Demon Ant King on equal footing, with even signs of gaining the upper hand.
Zi Linling, after being shaken, fell back into contemplation.
She felt a spark of inspiration flickering in her mind, yet she couldn't grasp it.
What should I do?
What exactly should I do?
Suppressing the Demon Ant King was not difficult for her.
If the Demon Suppression Seal and the Demon Sealing Art were combined, and fused with Chaotic Blood to form the Chaotic Seal, it would suffice.
However, killing such a demonic creature was not so easy.
No! Not just not easy, but extremely difficult, otherwise even the Nine Great Guardians could only suppress it.
Bao Fengxi had said that to kill demonic creatures and prevent future trouble, only chosen ones from beyond Azure Star, like herself and the Ancestral God, could achieve it.
But what was different about her and the people of Azure Star?
Was it powerful soul force?
No!
On Azure Star, there were countless people with soul force as strong as hers, or even stronger.
And which of the Nine Great Guardians did not have a soul force stronger than hers?
What was it then?
Spiritual energy?
The power of laws?
Physical body?
No!
None of them were right!
Zi Linling's brows were almost twisted into a knot.
What was it?
What was it?
What was it?
...
Zi Linling repeatedly asked herself, quickly falling into a trance, a faint blackness appearing in her eyes.
Just then, a voice echoed in her mind.
"Heaven and Earth were not yet separated, Chaos was one; one became two, two became three, three became all things. Thus, the ultimate number of Heaven began with one, was established at three, flourished at five, matured at seven, and ended at nine. The number of Heaven is extremely high, the number of Earth is extremely deep; Heaven is ninety thousand li from Earth..."
Zi Linling instantly sobered up, and the faint blackness in her eyes receded.
"This is... the first page of the 'Human Emperor's Pharmacopoeia' - the General Outline!"
That's right!
The Ancestral God had tasted seventy-two herbs and created the cultivation technique, the 'Human Emperor's Pharmacopoeia'!
Therefore, the 'Human Emperor's Pharmacopoeia' was her common ground with the Ancestral God, and the difference between her and the other humans on Azure Star.
In this case, the key to killing demonic creatures lay in the 'Human Emperor's Pharmacopoeia'?
Zi Linling felt as if she had discovered a new continent, and excitement was evident on her face.
However, she soon encountered a problem.
How could the 'Human Emperor's Pharmacopoeia' kill demonic creatures?
Recalling her own near-demonic state moments ago, Zi Linling unconsciously began to recite the General Outline.
"Heaven and Earth were not yet separated, Chaos was one; one became two, two became three, three became all things. Thus, the number of Heaven began with one and ended at nine..."
As she continued to recite, golden light began to emanate from her body.
The Demon Ant King became agitated. It looked at Zi Lin, its crimson eyes blazing with ferocity.
A sense of extreme danger radiated from Zi Linling's body.
At this moment, Zi Linling made the Demon Ant King feel fear.
Or rather, she instilled fear in the entire Outer Realm Demonic Race.
Within the sealed land, roars could be heard intermittently, a warning from the other thirty-two Demon Kings to the Demon Ant King, and their fear of the impending danger.
Thus, the Demon Ant King, locked in a fierce battle with Ye Lingyuan, let out a high-pitched roar.
Then, it abandoned Ye Lingyuan and charged towards Zi Linling. Soudan Novel Network
It wanted to kill Zi Linling, nipping the danger in the bud.
But would Ye Lingyuan give the Demon Ant King such an opportunity?
Of course not!
As a war god of his generation, Ye Lingyuan would absolutely seize the moment and not give the opponent a chance to pick them off one by one.
As a man, a strong and proud man at that, he would never stand by and watch his woman fall into danger.
Therefore, Ye Lingyuan flashed and blocked the Demon Ant King's path.
The One Qi Whip danced, creating an impenetrable defense, while the Sky Breaking Sword unleashed occasional fatal blows.
However, the Demon Ant King was almost frenzied, willing to sustain injuries to reach Zi Linling.
After all, it was immortal, and injury was nothing to it.
As long as it could kill Zi Linling, any price would be worth it.
Thus, the Demon Ant King's massive body was continuously whipped by the One Qi Whip, and even its hard armor bore numerous white marks from the Sky Breaking Sword. Two sword rays even pierced its armor, revealing the flesh beneath.
Yet, even so, the Demon Ant King paid no heed to Ye Lingyuan, pushing towards Zi Linling recklessly.
Xuanyuan Xun, Rong Guang, and Shangguan Yulin also understood the Demon Ant King's intention.
The three exchanged smiles and charged forward. They intended to help Ye Lingyuan block the Demon Ant King, buying time for Zi Linling.
Fortunately, their injuries had recovered by half during the fierce battle between Ye Lingyuan and the Demon Ant King.
Otherwise, heavily injured, they would barely be able to block one of the Demon Ant King's legs.
With the concerted effort of the four, the Demon Ant King was finally held in place.
It knew that without eliminating the four enemies before it, it would have no chance to quell the danger.
Therefore, it became enraged.
The four and the demon engaged in battle, plunging the sealed land into darkness.
The golden light grew increasingly intense.
Soon, Zi Linling herself was bathed in golden light, and the voice reciting the General Outline grew louder.
Her voice echoed through heaven and earth, like the sound of the Great Dao, striking the hearts of all.
The roars from all directions became more frequent and more intense.
The Demon Ant King, entangled by the four, also became ferocious.
It was going to fight with all its might!
After all, it couldn't die.
Within the battlefield of the four and one demon, demonic energy billowed and demonic might surged.
Facing the desperate Demon Ant King, Ye Lingyuan and the other three began to struggle.
It wasn't that they were not strong enough, but that the Demon Ant King was not weak at all.
It was like a mortal fighting an immortal zombie. No matter how strong the mortal was, they would be helpless.
Meanwhile, the 'Human Emperor's Pharmacopoeia', which had resided in Zi Linling's sea of consciousness, slowly floated out from above her head and began to grow larger.
Suddenly, the Chaotic Great Array trembled violently.
Immediately after, the entire Chaotic Great Array lit up, and surging spiritual energy and the power of laws flowed in from outside.
The energy flowed visibly.
"Awoo! Awoo! Awoo..."
The roars of the other thirty-two Demon Kings formed a piercing demonic sound.
"This is bad! The other Demon Kings have also awakened."
The Azure Star Soul thought to itself and was about to warn Zi Linling.
However, Zi Linling was currently in a peculiar state, shielded from all external influences.
Even the sounds within her sea of consciousness were drowned out by her Great Dao's resonance.
