"Clang!"
Li Weiyi drew the Nu Ma Cleaver, discarded its sheath, and strode past the giant stone statue, following the boiling riverbank toward the area where figures flickered through the mist.
"Boom!"
"Rumble!"
Dozens of streams of Spiritual Qi clashed and intertwined within the mist, creating a deafening cacophony of battle.
Three corpses lay sprawled on the ground, clad in the uniform martial attire of the Qingli Tribe - two young men and a young woman, all no older than fourteen or fifteen.
Two Nine Springs Supreme cultivators from the Jiu Li Clan, along with over twenty young Martial-Mystic Cultivators at the Eighth and Seventh Spring levels, were locked in fierce combat with their attackers. Warriors fell into pools of blood with alarming regularity, the scene exceptionally brutal.
No one had anticipated such a sudden assault.
They had only just separated from the Five Seas Realm cultivators of their clan.
Yaoyin and Yin Ershi Wu had already joined the fray, each facing a Nine Springs Supreme cultivator: Yaoyin against Yang Yun of the Sui Sect, and Yin Ershi Wu against Huo Zhanbai of the San Chen Palace.
"The Jiu Li Clan's Five Seas Realm cultivators haven't gone far," Yaoyin warned.
"If they return, you'll pay dearly."
Yang Yun, his arrogance undiminished, chuckled: "You can't possibly believe that our four great sects united merely to hunt down the Jiu Li Clan's young sprouts participating in the Mangshan Grand Festival, can you? The Five Seas Realm is the true battlefield."
Hearing this, the young Jiu Li cultivators felt a chill run through their hearts, replaced by a growing sense of despair.
The Sui Sect, San Chen Palace, Tianyi Sect, and Coffin Sea Pavilion - former vassals and slaves of the Jiu Li Clan - had clearly come to slaughter them all, aiming to wipe out an entire generation of the Jiu Li Clan.
The Sixth-Generation Great-Grandson of the Demon King stood over five meters tall, his massive frame towering over the parched, scorching riverbank.
His four arms, each as thick as a pillar, were covered in dense, bronze-colored fur. Two foot-long, razor-sharp fangs protruded from his mouth, and his domineering gaze swept down at Li Weiyi, who was rapidly approaching.
His voice boomed like thunder: "I heard you can kill a Dharma Dao Fire Ape with a single strike. This lord doesn't believe it. I'll weigh your mettle myself!"
Li Weiyi glanced at the battlefield behind the Demon King's descendant, recognizing the dire situation. He wasted no time on idle chatter.
He sprinted forward, accelerating to full speed.
Closing the distance to within six meters, he unleashed his Spiritual Qi, his body glowing like a lit lantern. With a spring of his feet, he leaped into the air, the Nu Ma Cleaver drawing a wide, golden arc as he brought it down in a head-on strike.
Though the Demon King's descendant spoke with contempt, he remained inwardly cautious. His two front arms seized the Copper Pillars, Spiritual artifacts weighing three thousand catties each, and swung them upward to meet the attack.
Born with the Demon King's bloodline, he possessed innate divine strength. Even before cultivating human Laws, he could lift a thousand-catty Cauldron.
From childhood, he had dominated the Southern Territory, never encountering a worthy opponent within his realm.
Now, with the supreme cultivation of his Hundred Silver Veins Pure Immortal Physique, he refused to believe he could be defeated by anyone in the Spring Surge Realm.
This conviction fueled his willingness to fight, even knowing someone had slain a Dharma Dao Fire Ape with a single strike.
He held an unwavering belief in his own invincibility!
"Boom!"
A direct clash.
The metallic clang reverberated like the striking of a thousand-year-old bronze bell, its sonic waves spreading outward in all directions.
The Sixth-Generation Great-Grandson of the Demon King felt the force of the strike like a mountain crashing down upon him. His arms strained to support the weight, his internal organs quivered violently, and he staggered back five steps before barely regaining his footing.
Each step left a massive, deep footprint in the ground.
The Sixth-Generation Great-Grandson of the Demon King's invincible belief shattered with that single strike. He couldn't accept that his opponent was merely at the Spring Surge Realm. His physical body alone could wield the Five Seas Pillar, and he possessed the Hundred Silver Veins Pure Immortal Physique.
Yet the very strength he prided himself on...
Had been utterly defeated in a head-on collision!
This proved that the Dharma Dao Fire Ape hadn't lost due to underestimating his opponent or flawed tactics, but because he had been completely and utterly outmatched.
The two Five Seas Realm Aberrant Humanoids guarding the Sixth-Generation Great-Grandson of the Demon King - one from the Tianyi Sect and the other from the Coffin Sea Pavilion - stood twenty zhang away.
After witnessing the strike, their nerves tightened, and they secretly began circulating their Spiritual Qi.
Li Weiyi, unusually, didn't press his advantage. Stunned by the Sixth-Generation Great-Grandson of the Demon King's terrifying combat prowess, he exclaimed in disbelief, "Impressive! You actually withstood my strike and retreated unscathed. Even Yang Shenjing at your age would have been slightly inferior."
The Sixth-Generation Great-Grandson of the Demon King felt utterly humiliated. With a furious roar, he channeled all the Spiritual Qi from his Ancestral Field into the bowl-thick Copper Pillar in his hand.
This three-thousand-catty copper pillar was a mid-grade Spiritual artifact, its power far surpassing that of low-grade artifacts. With each swing, the surrounding air churned violently.
Li Weiyi executed a series of footwork techniques, his figure shifting rapidly.
In an instant, three distinct images of Li Weiyi appeared, each striking a different pose as they converged. The third figure leaped into the air, positioning itself above and to the left of the Sixth-Generation Great-Grandson of the Demon King.
With a horizontal slash, he aimed for the demon's neck.
"So what if you're fast? I have four arms!"
The Sixth-Generation Great-Grandson of the Demon King used his front two arms for offense and his rear two for defense.
In his defensive arms, he wielded hammer-shaped Spiritual artifacts, attempting to block Li Weiyi's Nu Ma Cleaver.
"Bang!"
The moment they collided, the hammer-shaped artifacts were sent flying, unable to withstand the immense force behind Li Weiyi's blade.
The blade grazed the demon's pillar-thick arm, sending a torrent of blood spraying into the air.
The two Five Seas Realm cultivators from the Tianyi Sect and Coffin Sea Pavilion exchanged glances.
Though they hadn't heard the Sixth-Generation Great-Grandson of the Demon King's agreed-upon signal for help, they knew they couldn't wait any longer.
If this man dared to kill the Dharma Dao Fire Ape, who could guarantee he wouldn't kill the Sixth-Generation Great-Grandson of the Demon King as well?
One of the two was a Ravenoid Aberrant Humanoid in the Five Seas Realm. He spread his wings and soared into the air, nocking an arrow to his bow.
As he drew back the string, bright Spiritual Qi rippled outward in a circle spanning dozens of zhang in diameter.
"How dare you harm the Sixth-Generation Great-Grandson of the Demon King! You have some nerve!"
The other Five Seas Realm cultivator was a Leopard-like Aberrant Humanoid, possessing speed far surpassing others at his level.
As he charged forward, Spiritual Qi erupted around him, creating a powerful windstorm.
In a single breath, he could reach the Sixth-Generation Great-Grandson of the Demon King.
In this life-or-death battle, Li Weiyi wouldn't be intimidated by a mere threat, nor would he give the enemy a chance to rescue the Sixth-Generation Great-Grandson of the Demon King.
"First, I'll sever the Hundred Silver Veins Pure Immortal Physique. Then, I'll defy the odds and slay a Five Seas Realm cultivator, forging my Martial Dao legend!"
Li Weiyi unleashed the Heavenly Dao and Law Harmony-level "Taiyi Opens the Sea."
The Nu Ma Cleaver in his hand erupted with golden light, radiating a primordial, world-splitting aura.
He didn't fear revealing his true identity!
For he was wielding a battle blade to execute sword techniques.
Using a blade to "open the sea" made the strike even more domineering and ferocious.
At that moment, Li Weiyi's battle intent and unwavering resolve were such that, regardless of whether his opponent was the Sixth-Generation Great-Grandson of the Demon King or even a Immortal Realm, he would cleave them in two without hesitation to achieve perfect clarity of mind.
"Boom!"
Li Weiyi's feet slammed into the ground, shattering the Nu Ma Cleaver.
Across from him, the Sixth-Generation Great-Grandson of the Demon King had only managed to raise its Copper Pillar halfway, utterly failing to block the strike. It lowered its head to stare at its chest, where a meter-long gash had been cleaved through its Spiritual artifact armor, the broken blade lodged deep within its abdomen.
Li Weiyi's strike had sliced from the right side of its neck down to its abdominal cavity.
The blade's energy tore through all his internal organs.
"You... cough..."
The Sixth-Generation Great-Grandson of the Demon King, his copper bell-sized eyes wide with terror, watched as a meter-long bloody gash burst open from his abdomen to his shoulder.
His blood-mud-like organs spilled onto the ground as his massive body toppled backward, shaking the earth.
The Leopard-like Aberrant Humanoids charging to his rescue froze in shock at the sight.
Who could have imagined that someone would dare kill the Sixth-Generation Great-Grandson of the Demon King?
At the same level, he would be slain by just three strikes?
Even if the news spread throughout the Southern Territory, no one would believe it.
"Bang!"
A Ravenoid Aberrant Humanoid in the Five Seas Realm fired a Spiritual artifact arrow, its tail trailing a meter-long arc of electricity like a bolt of lightning, straight at Li Weiyi.
Locked on and unable to evade, Li Weiyi swung his broken blade to block.
"Boom!"
The blade and arrow collided.
The broken blade's Spiritual artifact structure had been compromised; it shattered under the impact, its fragments scattering like shrapnel.
A shard grazed Li Weiyi's cheek, leaving a thin trail of blood.
The Spiritual artifact arrowhead also exploded into iron dust, transforming into a bright shower of sparks.
"Good, very good! Finally, a chance to test myself against a Five Seas Realm Martial-Mystic Cultivator."
Li Weiyi glanced at the winged Five Seas Realm figure hovering in the air, his heart devoid of fear. Instead, his blood boiled with battle intent. Facing the charging Leopard-like Aberrant Humanoid in the Five Seas Realm, he neither retreated nor evaded, but charged straight into the fray.
Defying the odds, he struck upward, his Surging Spring Realm clashing against the Five Seas.
The absolute power gap between realms was erased by his palms and shattered beneath his feet.
Spiritualal power surged through his 108 Meridian Veins. Li Weiyi unleashed a palm strike, transforming his Spiritual Qi into a formidable force.
"Dare to kill the Sixth-Generation Great-Grandson of the Demon King? No one in Li Province can save you now!"
The Leopard-like Aberrant Humanoid Martial Cultivator rose to his full height, his Qi Sea glowing as if ablaze. His Spiritual Qi, superior in grade to Li Weiyi's, tore through the palm wind as their powers collided directly.
"Boom!"
This Leopard-like Aberrant Humanoid was no ordinary foe, having achieved the Eighth Spring Breaking Five Seas.
Yet in this initial clash, he found himself evenly matched against the Spring Surge Realm Martial-Mystic Cultivator.
The Leopard-like Aberrant Humanoid was inwardly shaken, suspecting the local environment was suppressing Five Seas Realm cultivators, hindering his Spiritual Qi flow and causing this unexpected stalemate.
He roared, "This brat possesses combat power at the Five Seas Realm level! Assist me with your arrows and end this quickly!"
Aberrant Humanoids inherently possessed greater combat prowess than Mortals of the same realm.
Facing two opponents across a major realm gap, Li Weiyi dared not underestimate them.
He activated his High-Grade Spiritual Artifact, the Nightwalker's Garment, using Spiritual Qi to amplify his speed and vanish into invisibility.
This concealment couldn't fool the Five Seas Realm cultivator's hearing or Battle Technique Intent, but it would slow his reaction time and sow hesitation.
Simultaneously, it would make it harder for the Ravenoid Aberrant Humanoid archer to lock onto him from afar.
Along the riverbank, the earth stretched out in a barren expanse of crimson, devoid of vegetation, resembling a desolate desert.
"Whoosh-"
Near two colossal stone figures, one standing upright and the other fallen, the air and white mist trembled. Runes materialized in mid-air, glowing with ethereal light.
From within the runes emerged a breathtakingly beautiful figure, her movements graceful and otherworldly.
White feathers of Spiritual Qi swirled around her, while a pair of massive, luminous wings floated in the void behind her. Deeper in the void, a magnificent palace complex loomed, its grandeur and majesty overwhelming.
Jiang Ning, veiled like a Feather Immortal, radiated an ethereal beauty. Her Spiritual Qi energy shifted unpredictably, each white feather drifting through the air like a true celestial plume.
Zhuang Yue, a Pure Immortal Physique at the Five Seas Realm, followed behind her, sword strapped to her back.
Though Zhuang Yue was already remarkably powerful and stunningly beautiful, and wore no maidservant's attire today, standing beside Jiang Ning made her seem ordinary, even her Pure Immortal Physique appearing as mundane as a mortal's.
They gazed toward the distant battlefield where fierce combat raged.
