Baihu Demon Saint's blood-red pupils shot out a fierce light, and his massive Divine Thought swept across the entire battlefield like a raging sea, yet, the source of the power supporting the three seemed to be the Heaven and Earth itself, untraceable.
"Roar—! Hiding your head and tail!"
The Baihu Demon Saint roared in fury, his killing intent once again locking onto the three figures below whose aura had surged.
At this moment, the Dao seeds within Lin Xiaolun, Tie Tou, and Da Niu were completely ignited by the Origin Dao power poured in by Li Mu, and the power of Law integrated into their flesh and bones, becoming the foundation of their existence.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The space around the three of them violently twisted, and the heavy Saint-Grade shackles were pushed open by an invisible force; their gruesome wounds rapidly healed and smoothed under the washing of rich Dao rhythm, leaving no scars; in the depths of their pupils, the Origin Dao of water, fire, and earth rotated and gave birth, emitting powerful Law fluctuations, resonating with the Heaven and Earth.
"Kill!"
The three shouted fiercely, their voices shattering the remaining dark-red astral winds!
Facing the terrifying blood claw that was falling again, they did not retreat but advanced, directly meeting it head-on; the sharpness of a Saint-Grade Demon Saint was the best whetstone for the newly formed Ultimate Path Realm!
Lin Xiaolun's figure completely blurred, transforming into a deep blue flowing water light, the extreme softness of water evolving into myriad forms! A spiraling water drill condensed, with extremely strong penetrating power, directly piercing the weak gaps of the blood claw;
Myriad profound water pearls scattered, containing heavy water essence, colliding with the claw light like a rainstorm, each carrying a hidden force capable of crushing mountains; a viscous, deep vortex abyss opened, coiling around it, frantically devouring and decomposing the destructive Demonic Qi contained in the blood claw.
The Dao of water, in her hands, transformed endlessly, permeating and dissolving.
Tie Tou's eyes had two points of substantial Dao patterns formed by incandescent flames, and his blazing white sword embryo swung, bringing forth pieces of net-flame blade light as thin as cicada wings! The blade light contained the Law of incineration, and the blood claw's violent Demonic Qi ignited upon contact, like oil being lit, wailing with a "chi chi" sound, its power being peeled away and purified layer by layer.
He used the Dao intent of incineration to sever the connection of Demonic Qi and weaken its Origin.
Da Niu's feet stomped the ground, and the earth pulsed like a heart. The profound yellow Qi resonated with the power of the earth veins beneath his feet. His fists swung out, and the profound yellow light of his fists appeared in a wave-like form! Invisible heavy pulse waves penetrated the demonic aura defense on the surface of the blood claw, directly piercing inside, and the huge blood claw let out a muffled groan, shaking as if about to collapse.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The transformed Dao Law power, in a brand new way, fiercely crashed into the life-taking blood claw!
Rip—Crack!
The three condensed blood claws, under the combined attack of the three, shattered with a bang! Turning into a sky full of dark-red Demonic Qi turbulence!
The Baihu Demon Saint's massive body trembled violently, and a look of incredible solemnity appeared in his tiger eyes; these three tiny Human Race Cultivators had not only withstood his Saint-Grade killing move but had also broken through it!
The city wall was momentarily silent, then all the Human Race Cultivators erupted in a roar like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami!
A miracle! Was unfolding!
"Roar—!"
The Baihu Demon Saint was completely enraged! To have his killing move broken by ants, his Saint-Grade prestige was swept away! His massive tiger body transformed into a bloody lightning bolt, directly pouncing on the three! His sharp claws tore through space, bringing with them dark cracks, and descended upon them!
"Good timing!" Tie Tou grinned, the white flame Dao patterns in his eyes burning. He surprisingly abandoned his sword, his fists covered in blazing white crystal armor, and the Law of incineration condensed at his fist-tips! He did not retreat but charged forward, his fists like meteors, directly clashing with the tiger claws!
"Boom!" A loud sound.
Fists and claws collided, and the incinerating white flames and destructive demonic aura fiercely eroded each other; Tie Tou's arms trembled violently, bones cracking, blood splattering, but the white flames, like maggots on bones, frantically drilled into the gaps of the tiger claw's Demonic Qi, burning flesh and blood!
"Hiss—!"
Black smoke rose from the center of the Baihu's claw, and a burnt smell permeated the air! The intense pain made it retract its tiger claw!
Lin Xiaolun's figure glided close to the ground like a water ghost! Deep blue water light condensed at her fingertips, transforming into a dense, high-frequency vibrating profound water drill! Ignoring the protective demonic aura, it directly pierced the ligament of the Baihu's hind leg joint!
"Pfft!" With a sound, the water drill penetrated, and the tough demon sinew was instantly cut! The contained heavy water essence's hidden force exploded inside!
"Ow!" The Baihu roared in pain, its hind leg went limp, and its massive body tilted forward, losing balance! Demonic blood splattered!
Da Niu seized the opportunity! His feet sank deep into the earth, and the profound yellow pulsation resonated with the earth veins to its Peak. He let out a low roar like a wild ox, and the profound yellow light of his fists condensed into substantial heavy hammers, fiercely smashing towards the Baihu's exposed soft ribs on its waist and abdomen due to its loss of balance!
"Dong!" A loud sound, a mountain-shaking heavy blow, invisible heavy pulse waves penetrated the fur, tendons, and bones! The Baihu Demon Saint's waist and abdomen visibly caved in a section! Its internal organs suffered terrifying vibrations, and its tiger mouth suddenly opened, a large mouthful of scalding demonic blood mixed with fragments of internal organs spewing out!
Blood rained down from the sky!
The roar from the city wall instantly suffocated, turning into a chorus of gasps of cold air!
"Ants! Ants! You deserve to die!"
The Baihu Demon Saint was furious from extreme pain, its blood-red pupils almost dripping blood! Intense pain in its waist and abdomen, severed hind leg tendons, and burned front claws, it suddenly shook its head, and its steel whip-like tiger tail, with an ear-piercing sonic boom, tore through space and whipped towards Lin Xiaolun who was close to it!
Lin Xiaolun's water light retreated rapidly, but she was still swept by the astral wind from the tail tip!
"Bang!" The water-blue Dao domain violently trembled, instantly disintegrating, and the next moment, Lin Xiaolun reappeared from elsewhere, water mist reforming, her figure perfectly intact, a playful smile on her face.
Tie Tou and Da Niu roared and pounced, their blazing white heavy fists and profound yellow pulse waves once again slamming into the Baihu Demon Saint.
The Baihu Demon Saint roared, and the blood-colored demonic aura around its body exploded with a bang! The violent Qi wave fiercely sent the two flying! It stared intently at the three figures with soaring Battle Intent, thick demonic blood dripping from its tiger mouth, and the dark gold light at its claw tip suddenly expanded, emitting a terrifying aura that annihilated all things.
"Kill!"
The three shouted fiercely, their voices overpowering the Baihu's roar! Their figures were like lightning, actively pouncing on the bleeding Demon Saint!
Before the dark gold light sphere at the Baihu's claw tip could fully form, Tie Tou had already arrived, his fists' blazing white crystal armor shattering and regenerating, the Law of incineration condensed at his fist-tips, ignoring defense, specifically burning the charred wounds on its front claws! His fist shadows were like a rainstorm, fiercely slamming in!
"Pfft! Pfft!" The charred flesh was torn open by the incinerating fist force! Black smoke mixed with fresh demonic blood sprayed wildly! The Baihu's front claws were a bloody mess, and the intense pain made its action of condensing the light sphere pause!
Lin Xiaolun's figure was like a ghostly water flow, circling to the Baihu's severed hind leg! The deep blue water light surged, transforming into hundreds of high-speed rotating profound water threads! The threads ignored the demonic aura, precisely drilling into the severed ligament, frantically cutting and stirring! The heavy water essence's hidden force exploded in a chain reaction inside the wound!
"Ow—!" The Baihu's painful roar shook the sky, its hind leg completely lost control, and its massive body staggered as if about to fall! Demonic blood gushed like a spring, staining the earth red!
Da Niu seized the moment the Baihu lost its balance! His feet stomped the ground, and the profound yellow pulsation triggered the earth veins to roar! He leaped into mid-air, his arms' profound yellow Qi condensed into a mountain-shaking giant hammer, carrying the heavy Dao intent of crushing mountains, aiming at the collapsed waist and abdomen wound, and slammed down with all his might!
"Dong! Dong!…"
Muffled thuds like beating a giant drum! The profound yellow giant hammer solidly struck the wound! Invisible pulse waves penetrated the fur, directly reaching the internal organs! The Baihu's massive body was smashed three inches off the ground, and the wound on its waist and abdomen exploded with a bang!
The Baihu Demon Saint let out a tragic wail! Its front claws were incinerated, its hind leg was mangled, and its waist and abdomen were open! Saint-Grade blood poured down like a waterfall! The ferocity in its eyes was replaced by intense pain and shock, and for the first time, its massive body was forced to retreat repeatedly by the three's violent assault, each step crushing the earth and leaving viscous blood pits!
The city wall was silent! Everyone's eyes were wide, staring intently at the three figures who were attacking wildly, covered in blood, forcing the once invincible Demon Saint to spit blood and retreat!
Tie Tou's fist-tips dripped with demonic blood and white flames, relentlessly pursuing, his incinerating flames specifically targeting the wounds!
Lin Xiaolun's water light entwined the broken leg, and the profound water threads penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
Da Niu was like a maggot on a bone, his profound yellow heavy hammer repeatedly striking the hole in the waist and abdomen!
The Baihu Demon Saint parried clumsily, its surrounding demonic aura in chaos, and the dark gold light sphere was completely disrupted! Its proud Saint-Grade body, under the fierce assault of the three's ultimate Dao Law, was riddled with holes, blood gushing like a spring! Its roars were already filled with undisguised pain and panic!
The battle situation was completely reversed!
The three were like three unsheathed divine weapons, using their newly formed Ultimate Path power to suppress the Baihu Demon Saint!
Just as the Baihu Demon Saint was falling into despair, a sudden change occurred!
"Roar—!"
The Baihu Demon Saint wailed repeatedly, and Tie Tou, Lin Xiaolun, and Da Niu were in the midst of their fierce assault, intending to completely finish off this fiend!
Boom—!
The sky, collapsed!
Nine indescribably terrifying auras, without any warning, suddenly descended! Like nine destructive stars smashing down above Tian Yong City!
Gold, red, white, profound, crimson, purple, gray, silver, black! Nine-colored demonic light tore through the sky, and nine towering demonic figures, reaching the sky and standing on the earth, like ancient demon gods, stood majestically in the clouds!
Golden Peng Great Saint's wings covered the sky, and his sharp gaze tore through the Void Realm!
Nine Heavens Great Saint's nine tails were revealed, and his fierce Qi froze the Soul!
Baihu Demon Saint's Evil Qi soared to the sky, echoing his blood-stained kin below!
Profound Tortoise Great Saint carried a profound armor on his back, his aura heavy like the collapse of a star sea!
Crimson Roaring Beast Great Saint: His crimson body was like molten lava, emitting an aura that could swallow the sky.
Purple Dragon Great Saint: Adorned with purple scales and fire armor, his eyes released destructive Qi.
Gray Toad Great Saint: His gray skin exuded poisonous miasma, corroding space and spirits!
Silver Falcon Great Saint: His silver feathers were solitary and peerless, their sharpness cutting through the sky.
Ink Qilin Great Saint: His ink-black body stepped on profound yellow, displaying black lightning horns.
Nine Yao Race Great Saints arrived simultaneously, and in an instant, Demonic Qi surged to the sky, stirring up wind and clouds for thousands of miles!
A majestic Saint-Grade prestige, so vast that it made Heaven and Earth lose their color, pressed down like billions of tons of solid heavy water!
Crackling—!
The remaining protective formation light barrier of Tian Yong City instantly turned into dust! Large sections of the city wall silently collapsed, turning into dust!
All Cultivators on the city wall, regardless of their Realm, were like being fiercely pressed down to the ground by an invisible giant hand, their bones cracking, blood gushing wildly, unable to even lift their heads! A suffocating fear gripped their throats!
The entire colossal city was completely locked down by the nine intertwined terrifying wills! Space solidified, and time seemed to stand still!
On the battlefield below, the violent energy turbulence instantly subsided.
Tie Tou, Lin Xiaolun, and Da Niu were as if pressed by ten thousand mountains, all their attacks abruptly ceased, their bodies stiff, pinned firmly in place, unable to move, the Dao Law light flames burning around them were forcibly suppressed back into their bodies, like candles in the wind!
The dying Baihu Demon Saint also stopped struggling, and his eyes burst with wild joy and reverence!
Dead silence!
Absolute dead silence enveloped Heaven and Earth! Only the nine world-destroying Saint-Grade prestige roared silently!
Nine pairs of cold, indifferent Saint-Grade pupils, containing supreme majesty, penetrated the chaotic space, penetrated the collapsed city walls, penetrated all obstacles, precisely and firmly locking onto a corner of the city—
The inconspicuous small courtyard where Li Mu was located!
Invisible pressure caused the air around the small courtyard to completely twist and collapse, emitting a groan of unbearable burden.
Golden Peng Great Saint's cold voice, piercing through eternity, like a Heavenly Dao decree, resounded through the solidified Heaven and Earth:
"Fellow Daoist, what a skillful method!"
"In just a few years, you've elevated three little children to such a Realm!"
"Since you've already made a move, why not show yourself and meet?!"
The sound waves rolled, carrying undeniable pressure and chilling killing intent, directly pointing at the small courtyard!
Li Mu pushed the door open and stepped out.
Clothed in plain cloth, old shoes, completely without any aura. He looked like an ordinary scholar.
He raised his eyes, his gaze calmly sweeping over the nine demonic figures that covered the sky and obscured the sun.
"Looking for me?" His voice was not loud, but it clearly penetrated the solidified demonic prestige.
The nine Saints' gazes suddenly converged, pressing down like billions of tons of divine mountains! The ground of the small courtyard silently cracked, and the courtyard walls rustled into dust!
Li Mu just stood there.
That terrifying will, enough to crush stars, fell upon him, like a mud ox entering the sea, disappearing without a trace.
The wild joy in the Baihu Demon Saint's eyes froze. It felt that the aura of its fellow Great Saints was being swallowed by an invisible "Void Realm"! It had vanished.
Golden Peng Great Saint's gaze, sharp as a heavenly blade, slightly narrowed.
Li Mu strolled forward, standing in front of the three children.
With just one step.
"Crack!" With a sound, the space, solidified like an iron plate, emitted a crisp sound like shattering glass!
The nine layers of Saint-Grade prestige shackles pressing on Tie Tou, Lin Xiaolun, and Da Niu shattered in response, and the three felt their bodies lighten, the Dao Law power suppressed within them surging forth with a roar!
"Teacher!"
Lin Xiaolun and the others looked at Li Mu excitedly.
Throughout Tian Yong City, all the Human Race Cultivators who had been pressed to the ground suddenly felt the terrifying heavy pressure on them disappear, the air flowed again, and their solidified blood surged anew.
"Hoo!"
Countless gasps of cold air converged into a stifling wind sound.
The nine towering demonic figures remained motionless. But a crack was torn in the world-destroying pressure that locked down the entire city, and its source was where the plain-clothed figure stood.
"You've gone to such great lengths, what do you want with me?" Li Mu looked up, directly facing the nine Saints in the clouds.
An indescribable "momentum" spread from around Li Mu, not overbearing, not sharp, but like the first wisp of Qi when Heaven and Earth first opened, gentle, vast, and irresistibly mighty!
The monstrous demonic domain jointly set up by the nine Saints, when brushed by this wisp of Qi, twisted and dissolved violently as if boiling water had been poured on snow! Dark red, crimson gold, profound black... various demonic lights flashed frantically, emitting ear-piercing wails.
Nine Heavens Great Saint's nine fierce fox tails slightly bristled, Crimson Roaring Beast Great Saint's lava-like body emitted large plumes of green smoke, Purple Dragon Great Saint's eyes' destructive purple lightning flickered erratically,...
Golden Peng Great Saint's gaze completely solidified, and at the edges of his wings, space silently annihilated.
The heavily injured Baihu Demon Saint below let out a frightened whimper, its massive body involuntarily shrank, as if its throat was gripped by an invisible hand; it felt that the pressure of its fellow Great Saints was being forcibly pushed away by that seemingly gentle aura!
Li Mu looked at the nine Saints as if he had just done something insignificant.
The nine Saints were silent, the Heaven and Earth pressure stagnated, and Golden Peng Great Saint's eyes were like cold stars, questioning: "Fellow Daoist, why ask what you already know? What is your intention in causing the return of the Shepherd Race and disrupting the balance of all Realms?"
Nine Heavens Great Saint's fox tails swayed slightly, and fierce Qi surged: "The Deva Race's reappearance, is it not your doing?"
Upon hearing this, Li Mu couldn't help but smile, a faint curve even appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"If the Shepherd Race wants to come, why would I need to lead them?" Li Mu's voice was calm, yet it carried an indescribable meaning, as he looked towards a certain spot and stated firmly: "What is meant to come, will eventually come."
Before his words finished, a brilliant starlight, from far to near, arrived in the blink of an eye, its target directly Li Mu.
