Lightning struck both of them. Jin Bao'er, caught off guard, was scorched black, her hair singed, looking both pathetic and ridiculous!
Across from her, Linlang Liuli looked up in terror, trembling and excited as she gazed at the sky… it was a power from her very bones, a power the Demon God had yearned for his entire life!
The might of the Great Dao rumbled in the heavens, echoing throughout the Upper Realm!
Jin Bao'er's body suddenly trembled! Because she realized…
Her cultivation within her body was loosening!
The majestic power of the Great Dao surged wildly through her veins, ceaselessly assaulting her meridians and Sea of Consciousness! Her divine sense was even unusable at this moment…
She was about to break through! At a time like this?!
No… that wasn't right! This feeling was strange.
Moreover, she was only at the fourth stage of Heavenly Dao King. At most, this would lead to the fifth stage. There was no way she could break through to Heavenly Dao Emperor so quickly…
So…
"Boom!"
The next second, a black shadow suddenly appeared, spinning rapidly in mid-air! The invisible power of the Great Dao spread out, as if preparing for something…
At this moment, let alone the frenzied Linlang Liuli, even Jin Bao'er herself was stunned!
What was going on? Was it a spasm?
But soon, Jin Bao'er's eyes sharpened as she looked at the sky, and she quickly retreated! She instantly put a significant distance between herself and the black object.
"Pfft! Sizzle…"
Faint purple currents exploded in the clouds, then quickly condensed and shot straight down, targeting the black object, and then burst into incredibly brilliant sparks in the air! Electric light scattered everywhere! Emitting "sizzling" current sounds…
Jin Bao'er's breath hitched! She had to be thankful for her quick reaction! Otherwise, if she had been caught in this blast, she probably would have been finished too!
Linlang Liuli, not far away, made no move to dodge. She was immediately caught in the electric current, her whole body smoking, scorched black. Her eyes rolled back, and she tilted backward…
Seeing this, Jin Bao'er, ignoring the heavenly thunder of the Great Dao, charged forward to deliver a fatal blow! As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot!
She decisively swung her sword, using her full strength, accompanied by the potent power of the Great Dao!
"Clang!"
Just then, the figure that had fallen suddenly opened its eyes, its scarlet pupils identical to the one she had seen in the underground palace before. It immediately locked onto Jin Bao'er!
What kind of eyes were those!
The frenzy and murderous intent vanished without a trace, leaving only endless malice! Filling with an indescribable, profound, dark fear, cold and ferocious!
Jin Bao'er's movement halted, a strong sense of crisis washing over her. Her sword instantly struck the opponent's palm… no! It was instantly gripped tightly by the opponent!
She knew something was wrong, and instinctively tried to pull it back, but couldn't budge it at all. Her heart was even more shocked! The strength in that hand was so astonishing?
"I remember you!"
A low, rough, hoarse voice rang out, laced with intense killing intent and determination! The scarlet pupils stared fixedly at her, as if seeing an enemy from tens of thousands of years ago!
Yes, they had met ten thousand years ago. Long Lixing had once used her Soul Slaying Sword to fight the Demon God, and she had used her light pink Great Dao power…
So, she was… the Demon God?
Jin Bao'er's face paled, and her heart sounded a loud alarm! But she was unwilling to let go now and let the opponent destroy her Soul Slaying Sword! Her eyes turned cold…
"Linlang Liuli! Let go!"
As these words left her lips, the woman with the scorched, scarred face suddenly paused, a flicker of confusion in her eyes…
Seeing this, Jin Bao'er rejoiced. She swung her Great Dao power with her backhand, and light pink radiance suddenly exploded in her hand, forcing the opponent to let go. Simultaneously, her left shoulder burst open, flesh and blood flying! She turned pale with pain… but didn't even let out a groan.
The confusion dissipated. The opponent looked at the residual light of the faint pink power, the scarlet color in its eyes deepening. The bewilderment receded, replaced by intense killing intent and ferocity! Its expression gradually distorted!
"It's you! It's you who massacred my demon race! The war between immortals and demons… it was because of you that we lost!"
It remembered. It was this woman's existence that had caused them to suffer a crushing defeat on the battlefield between immortals and demons! Countless demons had died by her strange Great Dao power…
Hearing this, Jin Bao'er looked at it strangely. While the words were true, wasn't that missing the point? That was an old grudge from tens of thousands of years ago! She had later sabotaged its plan to ascend!
So… was its memory faulty? Or was it just a fragment, incomplete?
If that were the case, she couldn't defeat the Demon God, but surely she could handle a mere fragment?
Gaining confidence, she decided to proceed with her original plan, retracting her Soul Slaying Sword with her backhand and trying to relax herself!
She calmed her mind…
Enraged by the scenes in its memory, the Demon God charged forward with red eyes, looking as if it was determined to kill Jin Bao'er! Even though the other party had changed appearance, it could see through it immediately!
In its memory, the opponent was just a trash cultivator at the Heavenly Dao Saint stage! But because someone protected her, she had remained unharmed. This time, it would definitely kill this ant!
However…
At full speed, it brought its palm down, but missed! The woman before her had a calm expression and graceful posture, dodging its attack with a slight movement…
At first, it didn't pay much attention, thinking the other party was just lucky. But the second time, the third time… and every subsequent time the opponent easily dodged, it finally realized something was wrong!
"You…"
It stared with wide eyes, unable to believe it as it looked closely. Vaguely, it seemed to see an invisible power surrounding her, the power that a black dragon had once used! The power that had… utterly killed it!
The memory deep within its soul was activated, and its eyes snapped wide open!
It remembered! It had died~ Its plan to ascend by sacrificing itself to the Upper Realm was also ruined. It had fought the fully formed Dragon God and ultimately lost to this never-before-seen power!
This was something even Jin Bao'er didn't know, this was the miraculous power capable of destroying the Demon God.
She opened her eyes and looked calmly at the disheveled woman with the scorched, scarred face. Her mind was completely serene! Although it was noisy around her, she seemed to hear the slightest flow of air. She felt as if she had merged with everything.
The Demon God was clearly frightened by her gaze! It stumbled back a step in panic…
Was it not enough to have a Dragon God suppressing it? Where did this woman come from?
The moment this thought arose, it refused to leave.
The next second, Jin Bao'er actively extended her hand, her movements slow and direct, without any ulterior motive, reaching out to strike the opponent's chest…
At least, that's how it appeared to outsiders!
At this moment, less than eighty people on the entire island had survived!
"Pfft!"
The woman with the contorted face tried to flee, but her movements became increasingly panicked. Her palm struck the opponent's chest directly, sending her flying backward! To others, it looked even more like she had thrown herself forward to be hit by the other party!
