Chapter 531 - 526: Unyielding Advance

Above the sky of Li Mountain, between the two armies, black energy flowed around Ao Ting, whose eyes seemed to conceal black lightning, staring at the seductive woman walking out opposite him.

"Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, to think you have fallen to be a human slave."

Ao Ting’s voice was low. This Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox was a noble lineage among the Demon Race.

The Heavenly Fox smiled and said, "You beast, reared by humans, do you think yourself superior after entering the human Imperial Palace?"

"I am worshipped by human incense, bathed in divine favor, how could you lowly servants compare?" Ao Ting said, "Since that is so, today I shall slay you as a sacrifice to the banner."

He grasped through the air, transforming his hand into sharp claws. Demon Energy roared in the sky, and strands of black lightning crashed down, striking toward the Heavenly Fox Demon Saint.

Ao Ting had cultivated in the human world for years, his cultivation reaching the peak of the Seven Realms. The Demon Dragon Clan’s physical body was terrifying enough to tear apart human cultivators of the same realm, not to mention his mastery of human magical abilities learned in the Imperial Palace, making him believe no demon could match him.

The Heavenly Fox Demon Saint stepped forward, her bare feet delicate and fair as her footsteps glowed, creating lotus blossoms with each step. Golden divine radiance soared into the sky, forming a shimmering curtain around her body. The destructive black lightning cracked the golden defense curtain, but it instantly restored itself.

Years ago, she had already let the demons of Yun Meng Swamp practice human techniques, and she had never stopped advancing herself.

Humans are the darlings of heaven and earth, favored by the Heavenly Dao, while the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox has an extraordinary learning talent.

"Booming work..."

A massive phantom of a demon dragon materialized, its gigantic claw tearing through the curtain, reaching for the body of the Heavenly Fox Demon Saint.

The Heavenly Fox Demon Saint continued forward, casting frost upon the world. The terrifying claw froze and slowed as the temperature of the vast space plummeted, and snowflakes fell.

"Ice Path, this Heavenly Fox Demon Saint seems to have grasped multiple Daoist skills." Cultivators observing from afar were slightly startled, but Li Fan found it unsurprising.

Years ago, during the battle with her master, the Demon Saint had displayed her frightening talent. The Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, each tail seemed to hold a gifted ability.

At this moment, a streak of black lightning appeared on the battlefield. Li Fan frowned, looking in that direction, the pitch-black destructive lightning rushed at terrifying speed toward the Heavenly Fox Demon Saint, arriving in an instant—Ao Ting’s true form.

"Boom."

A massive demon dragon phantom appeared in front of the Heavenly Fox Demon Saint, the black lightning tore through the ice, ignoring defensive power, and struck down.

The Heavenly Fox Demon Saint was knocked back to Li Mountain Camp by the blow, Ao Ting’s gaze fixed on her, a fierce aura emanating from the demon dragon phantom behind him.

He walked forward step by step, the storm of destruction growing stronger. In the black storm in the sky, demon dragon phantoms appeared, seemingly all under his command.

The black demon dragon bared its fangs and claws, the Heavenly Fox Demon Saint entrapped within, seemingly on the verge of being torn apart by the demon dragon at any moment.

"Thousand Illusions!"

The Heavenly Fox Demon Saint’s gaze turned exceedingly bewitching, and with her words, a massive Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox phantom appeared behind her. More terrifyingly, the sky seemed to suddenly open countless pairs of eyes, covering the heavens, as countless people gazed up, seeing this part of the sky transformed into a Pupil Technique World.

The pairs of eyes released nine-colored divine light, annihilating all demon dragon phantoms in the sky, then innumerable eyes turned to Ao Ting.

Behind Ao Ting, the massive demon dragon spat black divine light, like apocalyptic thunder, colliding with the descending nine-colored divine light, a terrifying aura of destruction instantly swept across the battlefield, a suffocating pressure spreading.

The sky grew darker, the enormous Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox phantom occupied the entire sky, as if a pair of demon god eyes appeared, penetrating everything, piercing into Ao Ting’s mind.

"Ao Ting, meet your death."

Countless voices resonated simultaneously in Ao Ting’s mind, trapping him in the Pupil Technique World, the nine-colored divine lights seemed poised to obliterate his Primordial Spirit.

Ao Ting looked up, the dragon’s roar shook the heavens, his body transforming into a True Dragon, spewing black destructive true thunder. The terrifying black light tore open a part of the sky, but innumerable nine-colored divine lights simultaneously descended, hitting his massive body.

The incomparably strong dragon scale armor constantly changed color, gradually being torn apart.

Ao Ting’s body surged forward fiercely, countless black lightning accompanied him, destruction energy flowed wherever he went. He condensed a long spear of destruction in his claws, a streak of dark lightning appearing on the battlefield as Ao Ting’s spear aimed at the Heavenly Fox Demon Saint’s true form.

The hearts of the cultivators surrounding the battlefield raced; the strike seemed capable of piercing space, as the black spear thrust, boundless apocalyptic black light surged toward the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox.

"Such a domineering attack."

Watching the scene on the battlefield, even top-level Great Cultivators of the Seven Realms trembled.

The two Great Demons on the battlefield were undoubtedly among the most terrifying top-level Great Demons in Da Li.

"Pfft..."

The spear of destruction pierced through the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox’s body in an instant, stunning the crowd, even Ao Ting’s giant eyes froze for a moment.

However, in the next moment, all nine tails spread wide, covering the sky and casting countless beams of nine-colored divine light upon his massive body, penetrating his Primordial Spirit.

Ao Ting’s massive body stiffened momentarily, as if his Primordial Spirit was confined.

"Nine Leaves Divine Fire."

Ao Ting’s Primordial Spirit and thousand-foot-long body were subjected to the scorching divine fire, the nine-colored divine light pierced through the dragon scales and into the flesh. Under the burning divine fire, Ao Ting’s massive body shook violently, his dragon roars echoed to the heavens.

The crowd saw Ao Ting struggling frantically, but it seemed as if he had lost his direction, unable to escape that realm of heaven and earth.

"Ao Ting is trapped in the Illusionary Divine Power and cannot break free, it seems he is doomed." The people thought, witnessing Ao Ting’s increasingly intense cries of agony, a massive phantom of the demon dragon swept wildly, sending the Heavenly Fox Demon Saint’s body flying, yet the nine-colored divine light persisted, Ao Ting’s struggles weakened until his body was destroyed and his Primordial Spirit was extinguished.

The Heavenly Fox Demon Saint transformed into human form, standing in the air, she took Ao Ting’s Demon Core. At that moment, her face was pale, with blood at the corner of her mouth.

Her enchanting eyes still held a smile, she looked towards the Da Li army opposite and said, "All demons of Yun Meng Swamp submit to Li Mountain, recognizing Li Mountain as the rightful ruler of the Great Li World, governing the demon race of the world."

After speaking, she turned and returned to her camp, not forgetting to glance at Li Fan.

This battle, Yun Meng Swamp has staked its life and fortune.

The great demons of Yun Meng Swamp roared to the heavens, Li Mountain cultivators also issued voices of their own, their morale soaring.

On the other side, Ye Changge still stood like a god high in the sky, Ao Ting’s death did not cause him the slightest ripple.

"Your Highness, we have an absolute advantage in this battle, why bother with this confrontation, as long as you take down Li Fan, our army will crush and flatten Li Mountain."

The elder Daoist leading Taiping Temple looked at Ye Changge, this elder was tall and slender in figure, dressed in a Daoist robe, exuding an air of transcendence, his aura ethereal, akin to a heavenly immortal.

The Great True Master of Taiping Temple, Master Bai Yuan, and the temple master of Taiping Temple do not concern themselves with worldly affairs, usually, it’s this Great True Master overseeing all matters.

"These accursed creatures are barking wildly, it’s quite a racket, they should be sent to reincarnation soon." On the other side, the leading monk of Ten Thousand Buddha Temple spoke.

Behind this monk seemed to be a halo of the Buddhist sect, extremely sacred, as if a living Buddha in the world, surrounded by several high-ranking seats of Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, showcasing his high status.

The Guardian Dharma King of Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, Prison Guardian King.

Seated beneath him was a great demon, which was a white lion, its body frost-white like snow, its mane reflecting golden glass light, dignified yet serene, its eyes seemingly able to see through illusions.

Though the presence of Great Master Bai Yuan and the Prison Guardian King was restrained, their faint pressure still imparted a subtle sense of oppression on the allied forces.

Many speculated that these almost secluded beings had likely touched the threshold of the Saint Realm.

If not for the major war intent on annihilating Li Mountain, seeing them even once would be rare.

"Your Highness, I volunteer to lead the vanguard."

Behind Ye Changge, a domineering and intimidating elderly figure stepped forward, resembling a ferocious beast, his aura terrifying. This person was a prince of Da Li, having retired from the world many years ago.

On the Li Mountain side, Li Fan and others gazed across at the various figures.

"The Great True Master of Taiping Temple and the Guardian Dharma King of Ten Thousand Buddha Temple have come forth, to destroy Li Mountain, all three forces have sent their elite." Shi Dao Ren said.

"That man is an elder of my royal family, King Pingjiang, and many senior figures have emerged." Ye Qinghuang looked towards the distant camp.

Li Fan nodded slightly, these decades, it wasn’t just their cultivation advancing.

At this moment, Ye Changge raised the lance in his hand, pointing towards Li Mountain, saying, "Emperor of Da Li orders to flatten Li Mountain."

As the words fell, the battle cries shook the heavens.

The ground trembled fiercely, the entire Li Mountain quaked, demons roared in the distance, the army advanced, soaring blood and energy surged towards the sky.

"Kill!"

With Li Fan’s words, he stepped forward, transforming into a sword light cutting across the vast sky, heading straight into the opposing army camp.

Charging ahead alone.

Li Mountain Sword Master, the first to rush onto the battlefield, one man facing a million troops.

The distant army, like a celestial legion, seemed capable of crushing the sky, yet Li Fan charged alone.

"Buzz..."

Only to see swords whistling, sword aura streaking across the sky, Li Mountain Sword Cultivators soared, controlling swords as they went.

In just a brief moment, thousands of sword lights pierced through the sea of clouds, the resonance of sword cries, metallic reverberations thundered through the nine skies, causing the sea of clouds to churn, the heavens and earth to tremble.

Countless figures stood atop flying swords, garments fluttering, like a cascading river of stars, following the figure ahead, heading towards their destined battlefield, unwavering.
