"Demon Emperor, your vision doesn't seem wide enough! I consider the Golden Ape my companion, and I've never treated it as a subordinate. In your eyes, perhaps there's a strict hierarchy and power reigns supreme, but it's not like that for me!" Li Mu revealed his figure, his entire body emanating the space-time fluctuations of the Time-Space Wheel Sutra, and said with a smile.
"Time-Space Art! What is your relationship with the Sky Void Demon Emperor?" A hint of surprise flashed in the Ice Demon Emperor's eyes, and he stared intently at Li Mu, asking.
Li Mu gave a wry smile, knowing why he asked that. However, the Sky Void Demon Emperor had been completely sealed by Chaos Power, becoming his spoils of war. How could he explain this relationship to him?
"What Sky Void Demon Emperor? I don't know him. The Cultivation Technique I cultivate has nothing to do with the Sky Void Demon Emperor. Moreover, even if there was a connection, so what? Is Demon Emperor afraid of that so-called Sky Void Demon Emperor?" Li Mu's lips curled into a playful smile, asking with a hint of provocation.
Hearing this, the Ice Demon Emperor's face grew even gloomier, and he said coldly, "Hmph, ignorant child, the Sky Void Demon Emperor is as famous as I am. How can an ant like you even mention him? Today, no matter what relationship you have with him, this Emperor will capture you and interrogate you thoroughly!"
Before he finished speaking, the Ice Demon Emperor waved his large hand, and countless ice crystals condensed in the air, forming a storm of ice blades that swept towards Li Mu.
In an instant, the space-time fluctuations around Li Mu suddenly intensified, as if the entire space was twisted. The ice blade storm, which was originally rushing towards him, suddenly stopped in front of him, as if frozen in mid-air by an invisible force, and he also teleported tens of miles away.
Li Mu's gaze sharpened, and his Divine Thought swept towards the majestic Wan Yao City in the distance. On the city walls, demonic figures flickered, clearly indicating that many Yao Race powerhouses had noticed the commotion and were eager to come and observe the battle.
At this moment, the Eternal Demon God was ordering his subordinates to search for his location! Before acquiring the Blue Origin Cyan Tree, Li Mu truly did not want to expose his identity. Once his identity was exposed, it would not only attract unnecessary trouble but also potentially affect his subsequent plans.
"Demon Emperor, if our battle unfolds here, I'm afraid the entire Wan Yao City will be shaken, harming the innocent. This is not what a Demon Emperor should do." Li Mu snorted coldly, his figure suddenly becoming ethereal: "Little Gold, let's go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu's figure disappeared again, reappearing beside Little Gold. He waved his hand, collecting him into the spirit control treasure bracelet, then his figure flickered, once again using the Divine Ability - Space-Cleaving Art, and his figure fled into the distance.
Seeing this, the Ice Demon Emperor's face turned ashen, and he laughed in extreme anger: "Hmph, trying to escape? In front of this Emperor, can you escape?!"
With that, the Ice Demon Emperor's figure suddenly transformed into a streak of light, not an ordinary streak of light, but a crystal clear ice line emanating a chilling coldness. Its speed was like a meteor streaking across the night sky, pursuing him at an extreme pace.
Wherever this ice line passed, the air was frozen, leaving behind streaks of white trails. The coldness permeating the air caused the surrounding space to condense, clearly indicating that the Ice Demon Emperor was using his full power.
Li Mu fully activated the Chaos Dao Scripture, pushing the Time-Space Wheel Sutra to its limit. His figure flickered in the Void Realm like a ghost, engaging in a speed contest with the relentlessly pursuing ice line.
The ice line and Li Mu, one chasing and one fleeing, the distance between them sometimes far and sometimes near, like a silent game.
The Ice Demon Emperor's ice line form showed no weakness in speed, allowing Li Mu to clearly feel the strong Killing Intent emanating from him.
Soon, having fled ten thousand miles, far beyond the visual range of Wan Yao City, Li Mu secretly estimated that he was now far from any potential prying eyes. It was time to end this meaningless chase.
"Old monster, bullying the weak, you're truly shameless!" Li Mu suddenly stopped, turning to face the relentlessly pursuing Ice Demon Emperor, his eyes revealing undisguised Killing Intent: "Since you insist on fighting, then I will grant your wish!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu waved his hand and took out Myriad Swords Mountain from the tianxuan ring. The 'mountain body' instantly transformed into a dark brown giant sword. The sword body was covered with miniature small swords. The sword was incredibly thick, nearly a zhang long, and as wide as a door panel. The sword body was densely inlaid with countless tiny sword patterns. Each sword pattern seemed to contain endless Sword Intent, and Sword Qi faintly flowed on the sword body, emitting a heart-palpitating pressure.
The 'Myriad Swords Mountain' sword body trembled slightly, and countless Sword Spirits whispered, recounting their determination to kill the enemy for their Sword Master at this moment.
As soon as the 'Myriad Swords Mountain' revealed its sword form, the world fell silent. The surrounding air was cut by invisible Sword Qi, emitting faint "hissing" sounds. On the sword body, there was a faint sound of sword hums, as if the monarch of swords had descended, and all swords submitted.
Li Mu held Myriad Swords Mountain, his Sword Intent was awe-inspiring, and a ten-thousand-zhang Sword Domain overflowed from his body, instantly enveloping a space of several tens of miles. Within the Sword Domain, Sword Qi crisscrossed, and everything was filled with Sword Intent.
The Ice Demon Emperor, being in this Sword Domain, actually showed a faint tendency to be suppressed. His face changed greatly, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.
The Ice Demon Emperor never expected that a mere Combined Body Realm Cultivator of the Human Race could unleash such a terrifying Sword Domain, even suppressing his Demon Emperor Dharma Body. He had originally thought that with his strength as an Eighth-Order Demon Emperor, he could easily crush the opponent. However, at this moment, he realized that he had underestimated this seemingly ordinary Human Race Cultivator.
"You... who exactly are you?!" The Ice Demon Emperor's voice trembled slightly, unable to maintain his previous arrogance and composure.
Li Mu sneered, and with a gentle wave of Myriad Swords Mountain in his hand, the Sword Qi within the Sword Domain instantly condensed into countless small swords, hovering in the air, their tips pointing directly at the Ice Demon Emperor.
"Who I am is not important," Li Mu said indifferently, "What's important is that today, you are destined to pay the price for your arrogance."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu's Myriad Swords Mountain trembled violently, and the countless small swords instantly transformed into a rain of swords, engulfing the Ice Demon Emperor.
"Hmph, a mere Combined Body Realm, daring to boast in front of this Emperor! Today, I will let you witness what true Demon Emperor power is!" The Ice Demon Emperor roared, and a surge of cold Qi suddenly erupted around him. Centered on him, a huge ice Domain rapidly expanded, instantly freezing the surrounding space completely.
In this cold Demonic Domain, time solidified due to the cold, and the water vapor in the air condensed into ice, forming sharp ice blades suspended in the air. The Ice Demon Emperor himself was like the Dominator of this Domain, surrounded by layers of cold Qi. Every step he took was accompanied by the sound of ice cracking, and his Aura was astonishing.
Countless ice blades seemed to be endowed with life, transforming into ice Dragons, roaring and charging towards the sword rain. The two collided in the air, producing deafening roars, and ice shards and Sword Qi intertwined, forming a shocking scene.
However, Li Mu's sword rain was no ordinary thing. Each small sword contained the Sword Intent of either a Seventh-Order Dao Sword or a Sixth-Order Spirit Sword. At the same time, there was also Li Mu's Azure Nether Sword Intent. Even the Demonic Domain condensed by a Mahayana Demon Emperor could not completely block its sharpness.
Small swords, with an unstoppable momentum, pierced through the ice Dragons' obstruction, rushing towards the Ice Demon Emperor like lightning.
The Ice Demon Emperor, though flustered, remained calm and roared, "Ice Secret Art · Absolute Zero!"
The cold Qi around the Ice Demon Emperor condensed, instantly forming a giant ice ball that completely enveloped him. The sharp sword rain, upon approaching the ice ball, was also affected by the extreme cold, its speed greatly reduced, and the Sword Qi on the sword body became dim.
"Puff puff..." A dense series of impacts sounded. Although the sword rain was weakened by the Ice Demon Emperor's "Absolute Zero," many Sword Qi still penetrated the ice ball's defense, piercing into the Ice Demon Emperor's body. The surface of the ice ball was covered with cracks, as if it could collapse at any moment.
The Ice Demon Emperor let out a deafening roar, and the ice ball suddenly exploded, countless tiny ice shards scattering. He himself stumbled out from within, with multiple sword wounds on his body, and blood stained the surrounding ice.
"Damn Human Race! You dare to injure me!" The Ice Demon Emperor's eyes blazed with fury. As an Eighth-Order Demon Emperor, when had he ever suffered such severe injuries?
Li Mu held Myriad Swords Mountain, his figure as steady as a rock, and smiled indifferently, "Demon Emperor, do you still think you can easily crush me now?"
The Ice Demon Emperor gritted his teeth, his Demonic Qi boiling, clearly completely enraged: "If I don't kill you here today, what face will this Emperor have?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Demonic Power within the Ice Demon Emperor erupted to its extreme, and an indescribable chill and pressure suddenly surged. His body gradually blurred, as if covered by a thick layer of frost. Immediately after, this frost began to expand wildly, until it transformed into a colossal creature several tens of zhang tall—a terrifying snow demon.
This snow demon was burly, covered in transparent yet indestructible ice armor, imbued with endless cold Qi and Demonic Power, shimmering with a heart-palpitating cold light. Its eyes were like two deep cold stars, flashing with icy Killing Intent and fury, and a powerful storm of intertwined Demonic Qi and cold Qi surrounded its body.
"Today, you are destined to be buried in my Ice Demonic Domain!" The Ice Demon Emperor roared with murderous intent.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Ice Demon Emperor waved his large hand: "Endless Ice Storm, kill!"
Following the Ice Demon Emperor's roar, thick dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky. Within the dark clouds, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and the heavens and earth trembled for this battle. Immediately after, countless hailstones poured down from the dark clouds, each containing terrifying power capable of destroying mountains.
The endless hailstones rapidly condensed in the air, transforming into fierce ice beasts. They roared and howled, madly pouncing towards Li Mu. The ice beasts varied in form, some like ice wolves, others like ice bears, endless in number.
However, facing the overwhelming ice beasts, Li Mu showed no fear. His eyes narrowed slightly, and the Chaos Power within him surged.

"Azure Nether · Sword Shadow Splitting Light!"
Li Mu let out a low cry, and Myriad Swords Mountain in his hand violently swung. A dazzling sword glow erupted from the sword body, transforming into countless tiny sword shadows, each containing Li Mu's Azure Nether Sword Intent.
These sword shadows spiraled and danced in the air, like a group of agile spirits. They quickly converged into a massive sword shadow storm, colliding with the fierce ice beasts. Each collision was accompanied by a deafening roar.
Seeing this, a fierce look flashed in the Ice Demon Emperor's eyes, and he muttered: "Ice Secret Art · Ice Seal a Thousand Miles!"
As the Ice Demon Emperor's incantation fell, the entire world was enveloped by an extreme cold. Immediately, thick ice pillars surged from underground, intertwining in the air to form a massive ice net, rapidly enveloping Li Mu.
The ice net contained endless coldness, even freezing space itself. Once trapped within it, even a Mahayana stage powerhouse would find it difficult to escape.
Li Mu took a deep breath, waved his hand, and a crimson Spirit Banner appeared. It was none other than the Eighth-Order Chaos Spirit Banner. On this Spirit Banner, Chaos Qi swirled, as if containing the power to create heaven and earth, inspiring awe.
"Chaos Spirit Banner, unfold!" Li Mu roared, his hand seals changing. The crimson Spirit Banner suddenly unfurled, transforming into a crimson light curtain that perfectly protected Li Mu's entire body.
On this light curtain, Chaos Qi flowed, seemingly capable of devouring all things. The ice net that was enveloping Li Mu, upon touching the light curtain, was rapidly devoured by the Chaos Qi flowing on it, like ice melting under the scorching summer sun, disappearing at a visible speed without leaving a trace.
Seeing this, the Ice Demon Emperor's face drastically changed. He hadn't expected that a mere Body Integration Cultivator would possess such a powerful Magic Treasure. The Sword Intent of the giant sword in his hand alone was enough to threaten his life.
"Who exactly are you?!"
The Ice Demon Emperor's voice carried an undisguised panic as he stared intently at Li Mu, asking.
Li Mu smiled indifferently, not directly answering his question, but slowly raised Myriad Swords Mountain in his hand. The sword patterns on the sword body flickered, and the Sword Intent became even more formidable.
"Who I am is not important. What's important is that after today, the name Ice Demon Emperor might be erased from the Yao Race's historical records."
Before he finished speaking, Li Mu's figure suddenly disappeared, reappearing above the Ice Demon Emperor's head. Myriad Swords Mountain, carrying the momentum of destroying heaven and earth, fiercely chopped down.
This strike, condensed with Li Mu's Sword Intent and Chaos Power, the sword light like a Dragon, vowed to kill the Ice Demon Emperor in one blow.
Seeing this, a hint of determination flashed in the Ice Demon Emperor's eyes. He fiercely bit the tip of his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of vital blood, and quickly formed hand seals, roaring: "Ice Secret Art · Ice Soul Body Protection!"
In an instant, the cold Qi around the Ice Demon Emperor suddenly condensed, forming a thick layer of ice armor. On the ice armor, runes flickered, emitting an ancient and powerful Aura. This ice armor was not only incredibly hard but also contained the Ice Demon Emperor's Origin Power, enough to withstand the full power strike of a Mahayana stage powerhouse.
"Boom!" Myriad Swords Mountain heavily struck the ice armor, erupting with a deafening roar. Countless cracks instantly appeared on the surface of the ice armor, but it did not completely shatter. Instead, it forcefully blocked Li Mu's sword momentum.
The Ice Demon Emperor's face paled slightly, clearly indicating that this blow had consumed a great deal of his energy, but a hint of stubbornness flashed across his face, and he said with restrained emotion: "A mere Combined Body Realm, yet you dare to dream of breaking my Ice Soul Body Protection? What a fool's dream!"
Li Mu frowned slightly, secretly surprised. He hadn't expected the Ice Demon Emperor to have such a powerful defensive method.
"Ice Soul Body Protection? It's just a turtle shell!"
Li Mu sneered, and Myriad Swords Mountain in his hand suddenly shook, transforming into the shape of a small mountain.
The next moment, a "buzzing" sound of sword hums echoed on Sword Mountain, and countless Sixth-Order Spirit Swords and Seventh-Order Dao Swords awaited their master's command. (End of Chapter)
