"Indeed, a land of heroes and spirits."
The Demon Lord's form appeared in mid-air. After greedily inhaling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, his gaze turned towards the Grand Hall Master and the others. That look was like looking at food.
The next moment, Zui Yang led countless shadowy figures charging down. Where they passed, only darkness remained.
Upon realizing that something was amiss, the leaders of various factions immediately mobilized. Seeing the situation, they all soared into the sky to meet the demon race.
"Attack together!"
The Grand Hall Master glanced at the Demon Lord, then waved his hand, shooting towards the Demon Lord first. Following the Grand Hall Master's move, the other two Hall Masters advanced from either side. Not only that, but the powerhouses from the four continents also straightened their expressions and followed.
"Overestimating yourselves." The Demon Lord was not flustered at all by this. With a sinister smile, the black energy around him churned and surged towards the Grand Hall Master and the others.
At this moment, Li Xuan, after killing a demon with a single sword strike, also looked towards the battle in mid-air. Li Xuan knew that the ultimate outcome of this great battle would depend on the confrontation between the Grand Hall Master and the Demon Lord.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
But soon, Li Xuan's expression turned grim. Even the powerful Grand Hall Master and the others were sent flying back in just one exchange. Moreover, each of them was covered in a black energy. At this moment, that black energy seemed to come alive, drilling into everyone's bodies.
However, the Grand Hall Master and the others were not weak. Upon sensing the strangeness of the black energy, they immediately circulated their spiritual power to force it out. But in their eyes, there was already a deep sense of wariness as they looked at the Demon Lord.
"You can actually withstand my Demonic Spirit Energy. I underestimated you. But, that's as far as it goes." Seeing this, the Demon Lord's lips curved upwards slightly, appearing exceptionally charming. The next moment, the Demon Lord's slender fingers drew a circle in the void, and then he pointed directly at the Grand Hall Master and the others.
Boom!
In the next instant, the Grand Hall Master and the others were sent flying back. Not only that, but a terrifying pressure instantly spread. Feeling this pressure, Li Xuan finally understood. The Demon Lord's strength had actually reached the peak of the Reincarnation Realm!
As this pressure swept over, the people on the Star Nebula Continent were instantly sent flying. The demons, like reapers, rapidly harvested lives. In less than a minute, over a hundred powerhouses had fallen on the spot.
"Junior Brother, hurry and go!" Ye Zhengwei resisted the pressure with all his might, his body so suppressed that he could barely straighten up. However, upon seeing Li Xuan standing not far away as if he were fine, Ye Zhengwei immediately shouted.
"Junior Brother, hurry and go!" The peak masters of Shen Shan and the others also noticed that Li Xuan was immune to the Demon Lord's pressure and hurriedly shouted.
Everyone knew that even if Li Xuan could withstand the Demon Lord's pressure, he would still not be a match for the Demon Lord. Now, taking advantage of this chaotic time, Li Xuan could still escape.
It could be said that all of them had underestimated the Demon Lord's strength.
Li Xuan heard this but did not choose to leave. After glancing at Ye Zhengwei and the others, his expression gradually became resolute.
"Junior Brother, don't do anything foolish!" Ye Zhengwei and the others, seeing this, could no longer care if outsiders overheard and shouted loudly.
They had witnessed Li Xuan's growth. Even if they all perished, as long as Li Xuan could be preserved, their Ti Sect would have a successor. Moreover, they believed that with Li Xuan's talent and potential, he would surely go further.
"You can actually resist my pressure, little fellow. You've surprised me." The Demon Lord also noticed the standing Li Xuan at this moment, and then slowly paced towards Li Xuan.
Ye Zhengwei and the others immediately felt a sense of foreboding. At this point, even if Li Xuan wanted to leave, he probably couldn't.
"Aren't you afraid?" With a wave of his hand, the Demon Lord immobilized Ye Zhengwei and the others, then shifted his gaze to Li Xuan.
"Such rich essence and spirit. I didn't expect to stumble upon a treasure this time." Before Li Xuan could speak, a red light shot from the Demon Lord's eyes, instantly piercing through Li Xuan's body.
Unbeknownst to anyone, three figures were standing in the clouds. The leader was the woman who had previously appeared above the Star Radiance Chamber of Commerce. A woman standing behind her on the left looked at the former with some nervousness.
"Young Madam, do you require me to save the young master?" An old man standing behind asked.
Luo Xuan heard this and slightly shook her head, "Not yet."
The old man frowned slightly but still obeyed Luo Xuan and waited. The woman on the left was about to speak but was stopped by Luo Xuan raising her hand.
"He needs to experience some crises, otherwise, how will he grow? Although his path is different from others, it would be too smooth sailing. Only when he truly faces life and death will he be able to unleash his greater potential." Luo Xuan said.
The old man nodded slightly upon hearing this, and the woman on the left had to swallow the words she was about to say.
"If necessary, please, Elder, take action to protect his life." Luo Xuan said again after a moment of thought.
"Alright." The old man nodded confidently, seemingly not taking the Demon Lord below seriously.
"I knew you wouldn't just watch the young master die, Miss." The woman said to Luo Xuan with a smile, her earlier worry gone.
Luo Xuan smiled, then looked down at Li Xuan.
"What is there to be afraid of?" Li Xuan smiled and retorted.
"Such a backbone. However, I'd like to see if this backbone of yours can withstand my palm strike." The Demon Lord looked at Li Xuan with some surprise, then directly struck out with his palm.
Bang!
Li Xuan was sent flying, his body crashing heavily onto the ground.
Pfft!
Li Xuan spat out a mouthful of blood, but there was not a trace of fear on his face.
"This physique is not bad." Seeing Li Xuan stand up, the Demon Lord showed a hint of interest and struck out with his palm again.
Li Xuan's body was sent flying again, but in just a moment, Li Xuan managed to stand up again, leaning on his immortal sword. Although Li Xuan's body was trembling precariously, his eyes looked at the Demon Lord with firm resolve.
"Interesting." Seeing this, the smile on the Demon Lord's face gradually faded, and he struck down with his palm again.
Bang!
Li Xuan's body flew out once more, and the sound of cracking could be heard from his entire body. Clearly, Li Xuan's bones were broken.
This time, Li Xuan lay flat on the ground, motionless as if dead. If not for the rising and falling of Li Xuan's chest, the woman behind Luo Xuan would have spoken again.
"To withstand my three palm strikes, you can consider yourself having died a worthy death." Seeing this, the Demon Lord looked at Li Xuan with some surprise, then shifted his gaze to the Grand Hall Master and the others.
"You annihilated my clone earlier. Did you consider this day?" The Demon Lord smiled, then clenched his left hand. An invisible force instantly imprisoned the Grand Hall Master and the others. The next moment, the Grand Hall Master and the others were all lifted into the air.
"After absorbing your flesh and blood, I believe I can reconstitute my lost clone." A bloodthirsty glint flashed in the Demon Lord's eyes, and then he inhaled sharply, causing streams of spiritual light to flow from the Grand Hall Master and the others into the Demon Lord's mouth.
Boom!
Just then, a rumbling sound suddenly echoed. The next moment, Li Xuan, who had already looked like a drowned rat, actually stood up again.
"I say, Demon Lord, is this all the strength you have?"
