Yiling's skin was as white as snow. Her long, beautiful hair was tied up, and she stood tall and proud in her black armor, holding a black spear. The recent massacre had not left a single trace of blood on her.
Even after continuously releasing her supernatural powers, leaving her strength not at its peak, her aura was even stronger than when she had first appeared.
She looked at the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, her eyes filled with a mad battle intent.
"You all, retreat!"
Yiling said to the Blood Sea Demon Army behind her.
"Lord Yiling, we will not retreat!"
"Lord Yiling, we have all followed His Majesty the Demon Emperor in battles across the Demon Realm. That mere Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord was just one of the demons we hunted down back then. Even if His Majesty is no longer here, we are confident that we can kill a Demon Lord!"
The Blood Sea Demon Army did not retreat. Instead, they wanted to fight alongside her. In their eyes, they were remnants of the old era. Now that His Majesty had "fallen" into the Heavenly Abyss, they, as the most loyal subjects, should follow him, even if it meant going to another world to continue fighting alongside him.
Yun Wuyue had been paying close attention to the situation. Of course, she understood what these fellows who had once fought to the death with her were thinking.
"Not bad for an army I trained," Yun Wuyue said smugly to Gu Changsheng.
"Trained?" Gu Changsheng raised an eyebrow.
"What are you thinking? It was proper training," Yun Wuyue's face flushed slightly.
"Is there improper training too?" Gu Changsheng eagerly asked.
Yun Wuyue rolled her eyes at him. If this guy had been as impulsive back then as he was now, she would have taken him down already.
...
"If you are here, I will be restricted. Why don't you retreat quickly?"
Yiling's expression turned serious, and her tone was extremely stern.
The Blood Sea Demon Army trembled inwardly.
These words were so familiar. His Majesty had said the same thing to them back then.
"Yes!"
This time, the Blood Sea Demon Army did not hesitate and quickly carried out Yiling's order. At this moment, they acknowledged Yiling as their commander.
At the same time, they had a hint of anticipation.
They hoped that Yiling would kill the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord.
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord was also staring intently at Yiling. In a daze, he actually saw a familiar figure in Yiling, a figure that he had been unable to overcome to this day.
"Impossible, Yun Wuyue is already dead. This Yiling is just acting like her, but she is not Yun Wuyue after all."
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord shook his head slightly. The demon that had caused him fear his entire life had already fallen. This Yiling was just a little girl who had just become a Demon Lord, and her realm probably hadn't even fully stabilized yet.
Killing her would not only strike a blow to the morale of the Demon Emperor's Palace, but it might even allow him to get rid of the shadow of fear in his heart.
Perhaps, as a result, his state of mind could be further improved.
Once one reached the Demon Lord level, it was a thousand times more difficult to improve one's state of mind than it was for a mortal to cultivate to the Immortal King level. This was also one of the reasons why there were only about three thousand Immortal Emperors in the tens of millions of great worlds.
A breakthrough in one's state of mind meant that one's strength would become even stronger. Because the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord feared Yun Wuyue, his strength had stagnated for countless years. Now that he had the opportunity to break through his fear, he naturally had to seize it.
This was why he was the first to take the initiative. He had already transmitted his voice to the other Demon Lords, telling them not to interfere.
"Lord Demon Lord, please suppress her!"
Yiling's aura was too strong. Even the Demon King army, hiding behind the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, felt increasingly uncomfortable. They even felt that if they didn't act now, they wouldn't be able to withstand Yiling's increasingly powerful aura.
"Kill!" The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord also sensed that something was wrong and shouted loudly, wielding the blood-colored spear in his hand.
"Buzz!"
When a Demon Lord attacked, there was no need to say much. Naturally, they would start with a great divine power. A thick blood-colored divine light shot up, turning into a sea of blood, which was connected to the sea of blood from the previous battle. Time seemed to stand still at this moment, with only the滔天 sea of blood rushing towards Yiling.
Not only that, but the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord continued to move. He had ten eyes on his face, one of which shot out a chaotic light, turning into a guillotine. This was the Dao-severing blade, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord's innate supernatural power.
The sea of blood devoured life, and the Dao-severing blade severed all avenues.
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord used this world-destroying divine power to devour Yiling's life force and sever her Dao, turning her into nothingness, making everything become empty.
Apart from Gu Changsheng and Yun Wuyue, all other living beings looked solemnly at this scene.
"Roar!"
It was as if a roar appeared in the void.
This was not a real roar, but Yiling's aura. She was clad in armor, holding a black spear, not speaking or making any movements, but she erupted with immeasurable aura. In the void, a giant demon faintly appeared.
That was Xi, Yiling's true form.
"Rumble!"
The powers of the two Demon Lords collided. They saw that in the middle of the energy collision, worlds were constantly being born and destroyed.
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord narrowed his eyes. Although he knew that he couldn't kill Yiling like this, he didn't expect that Yiling would block his two great divine powers with just her aura.
This woman had such strength just after becoming a Demon Lord, she must not be allowed to live!
On the Demon Emperor's Palace, Qijue's lips curled into a smile.
"That idiot Hundred-Eyes thinks that Yiling will become weaker if she is not at her peak. Little does he know, Yiling will only become stronger as she fights. Her previous massacre has condensed her aura to its peak. In this state, even if only 10% of the power within her body remains, she is at her strongest."
Once one reached the Demon Lord realm, there was no distinction between early, middle, and late stages. At this realm, one was fighting for their own Dao.
Qijue knew her disciple best. She walked the path of stopping war with war. The longer the battle lasted, the stronger she became.
Although the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord was an old Demon Lord, his strength had stagnated for countless years, and he could never be Yiling's opponent at this moment.
If the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord had acted earlier, he might have been able to suppress Yiling.
But now, Hundred-Eyes can only be suppressed into powder.
"Hundred-Eyes is going to lose!"
Behind the passage, a Demon Lord also saw this. As outsiders, they could see further than Hundred-Eyes, who was in the midst of the battle.
"Should we help him?" Another Demon Lord, who was in the same camp as the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, asked.
"Why should we help him? He told us before not to interfere. Since he doesn't want us to interfere, then his defeat is his own choice," Chi Yang said coldly.
The other Demon Lords were silent, but they obviously agreed with Chi Yang's words.
All of these Demon Lords wanted to unify the Demon Realm and become the Demon Emperor. At this time, they were only temporarily united because of their joint crusade against the Demon Emperor's Palace, and the moment the Demon Emperor's Palace was breached would be the time when this alliance would break.
And in this process, if other Demon Lords fell, that would naturally be a good thing.
Save him?
Impossible.
Even the Demon Lord who had asked this question earlier had eyes full of indifference. He even said, "Yiling's aura is very strong, but the moment she kills Hundred-Eyes will also be the time when her aura is at its peak. When it reaches its peak, it will decline. We can take this opportunity to attack together and kill Yiling to eliminate future troubles."
"Agreed!"
The other Demon Lords all agreed.
Poor Hundred-Eyes had already been sentenced to death by both his enemies and his allies.
