Chapter 859: Chapter 453: Battle of Arch-Nemeses (Part 1)

The Bu Mie Demon Lord’s body surged with demonic energy, and the scars on the Immortal Demon Armor mended, restoring to its original appearance.

The Bu Mie Demon Lord’s eyes carried a fierce visage, and a trace of malice flashed as he locked onto Li Mu’s landing spot, his figure shadowing with speed, transforming into a black line following closely.

"Swish," the Bu Mie Demon Lord’s Demon Blade slashed towards the spot where Li Mu appeared.

"Snap," ’Li Mu’s’ body was sliced in half, revealing a section of wood.

"Five Elements Substitute Technique!" The Bu Mie Demon Lord witnessed this, a look of distaste flashing in his eyes, recalling past grievances that fueled his rage.

The Bu Mie Demon Lord looked around and immediately pinpointed Li Mu’s true position.

Located within the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, Li Mu was acutely aware of the Bu Mie Demon Lord’s movements, preemptively using the Five Elements Technique—Wood Element Substitute Technique, and his true form appeared on the right side of the Bu Mie Demon Lord, executing the second move of the Cyan Nether Sword Scripture—Cyan Nether Shattered Moon.

The Wu Xing Daoist Monarch released a cyan sword qi, breaking like moonlight, scattering among the stars. The sword qi was as gentle as moonlight yet incredibly sharp.

The Bu Mie Demon Lord’s pupils contracted, sensing the terrifying power contained within the sword. He dared not underestimate it, as this sword qi exceeded what any Divinity Transformation Cultivator could produce, matching even Sword Master Feng’s efforts.

The Bu Mie Demon Lord’s demonic energy swelled again, tightly gripping the Demon Blade, slashing mightily. A black blade glow collided fiercely with the Cyan Nether Sword Qi.

"Boom!" An explosive sound erupted, blade glow and sword qi burst in the air with blinding light.

The Bu Mie Demon Lord, so close, was forced to retreat several steps by this force, while Li Mu only wavered slightly but was unharmed, reappearing already distanced miles away from the Bu Mie Demon Lord.

The Bu Mie Demon Lord realized, pursued closely, slashing again, and black blade glows poured down on Li Mu like torrential rain.

However, Li Mu moved unpredictably, sometimes using Space-Time Escape Technique, sometimes Five Elements Escape Technique, sometimes fleeing with Thunder Wings, like a phantom in the dark, easily evading the Bu Mie Demon Lord’s fierce attacks.

The repeated failed attacks sent the Bu Mie Demon Lord into a furious rage, eyes bloodshot, craving to seize and tear Li Mu asunder.

Yet Li Mu, like a slippery eel, evaded all demonic techniques and body techniques, eluding capture by the Bu Mie Demon Lord.

"Boy, do you only know how to dodge? Face us head-on if you have the guts!" The Bu Mie Demon Lord roared at Li Mu, his voice filled with the Divine Thought of an Integration Realm Powerhouse, reverberating through the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion space, attempting to destroy Li Mu’s Divine Sense.

Li Mu had already evaded, continually deploying the Star Nebula Visualization Method, maintaining Divine Thought Divine Techniques—Star Soul Transformation Realm, transforming his Divine Soul into a Star Realm to protect it from the Bu Mie Demon Lord’s Divine Soul attacks.

At this moment, Xiaobai also summoned soul power, promptly ringing the Soul-Calming Bell. The clear sound carried immense power of the Divine Soul, suppressing and rebounding the Bu Mie Demon Lord’s Divine Thought attack.

The Bu Mie Demon Lord’s expression shifted slightly, staring at the alien insect on Li Mu’s shoulder, shocked that it could resist his Divine Thought attack and generate such powerful soul power attacks, truly impressive.

The Bu Mie Demon Lord felt a chill, believing that he could easily suppress Li Mu with his Divine Thought attacks but now realizing the insignificant insect reversed the tide of battle.

"Good, very good! This just got more interesting!" The Bu Mie Demon Lord, boiling with rage, his figure flickered, demonic energy surged like a black tide. He no longer relied solely on Divine Thought attacks, preparing to unleash a more ferocious offensive with all his strength.

Li Mu eyed the Bu Mie Demon Lord cautiously, knowing his formidable power meant even with the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion’s suppression, full effort, and multiple techniques, he dared not confront directly, feeling constrained.

However, faced with this critical juncture, it was time to fight with all his might.

"Kid, you and this insect have indeed surprised me." The Bu Mie Demon Lord’s voice was cold and somber, staring intently at Li Mu: "But today, you’re doomed to die!"

As his voice faded, a terrifying aura erupted from the Bu Mie Demon Lord, freezing the surrounding air, the Demon Blade in hand resonating with his fury and resolve.

The Bu Mie Demon Lord burned with rage, realizing Li Mu’s threat was far greater than before, resolved to eliminate him at any cost, willing to exhaust his Power of Origin. Gripping the Demon Blade, his entire being surged with demonic energy, the blade wildly slashing like a black wrathful tide, engulfing the Treasure Mansion space.

Under this force’s impact, the entire Painting Realm Treasure Mansion twisted and deformed, the pervasive demonic energy forming stark black fissures like abyssal mouths, attempting to devour all life. Li Mu within felt unprecedented oppression and fear but knew retreat wasn’t an option, he must persist.

Just then, a dazzling light shone from deep within the Treasure Mansion, a Five-Colored Spirit Dragon soared forth, its enormous figure radiant, its scales shimmering brightly. This was the Treasure Mansion Spirit, sensing Li Mu’s crisis, it emerged, unleashing an earth-shaking dragon roar.

With the dragon’s cry echoing across the sky, a fierce whirlwind of Five Elements Spiritual Power swept through the Treasure Mansion, furiously suppressing the demonic blade sword qi unleashed by the Bu Mie Demon Lord. The Five-Colored Spirit Dragon hovered, each scale seemingly infused with infinite power, continually releasing Five Elements spiritual power, clashing violently with the demonic energy.

Seeing this, Li Mu was delighted, immediately exerting full control over the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, pouring immense Top-Grade Spirit Stones and High-Tier Spiritual Materials from Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, their endless spiritual power flooding into the Treasure Mansion Spirit.

At this moment, Li Mu, multitasking effortlessly, activated the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion while also commanding the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain.

The Ten Thousand Swords Mountain seemed to come alive, expanding exponentially, a hundred, a thousand times its size. Suddenly, countless Spirit Swords, awakened like spirits, soared skyward, in unison, like a thousand arrows released towards the Bu Mie Demon Lord.

These Spirit Swords traced brilliant arcs in the sky, like meteors streaking across the night, dazzlingly bright. Countless swords converged, their light interwoven, swiftly forming a colossal sword tornado. This tornado, charged with fierce sword qi, roared towards the Bu Mie Demon Lord, fiercely clashing with the Immortal Demon Blade he unleashed.

In the blink of an eye, sword and demonic energy intertwined, creating a truly spectacular confrontation as the Treasure Mansion space was engulfed in an intense battle.

Meanwhile, behind Li Mu, his Thunder Wings flared, granting him boundless power, as he deftly evaded the invading demonic energy released by the Bu Mie Demon Lord.

As Li Mu swung his arms, the seventh-tier Extreme Yang Celestial Fire transformed into a massive Purple Gold Fire Phoenix, radiating intense heat, devouring the omnipresent Immortal Demon Qi. Each devour turned swathes of demonic energy to ashes, mitigating damage to the Treasure Mansion space.

The seventh-tier Yin Yang Thunder Flame morphed into a silver-red Thunder Dragon, which ravenously consumed the Immortal Demon Qi, with each devour strengthening its power and gradually weakening the Bu Mie Demon Lord.

In moments, Li Mu and the Bu Mie Demon Lord’s clash reached a boiling point.

The Bu Mie Demon Lord was shocked and angered, the sudden appearance of potent celestial fires severely diminishing the power of his Immortal Demon Realm, persistently assaulting the origin of his Immortal Demon Qi.

"Damn, die!"

The Bu Mie Demon Lord roared, voice filled with hatred and murderous intent, all trouble stemming from Li Mu. He resolved that only by eradicating him could he escape this predicament.

In the next second, the Bu Mie Demon Lord vanished, reappearing above Li Mu, his claws descending fiercely.
