Unleashing His Ferocity
The mainland has vanished, but the Black Heart, which had gathered countless Demonic Qi, has not yet been completely annihilated.
It could no longer coalesce into a shape, and the whole thing shattered, with long, dark rivers of Demonic Qi scattered in the void, intertwining with flames of various colors, like a devastated battlefield.
Xiao Yan traversed the flames, searching for the Heavenly Demon Emperor might exist within the Demonic Qi.
The Demonic Qi energy was enormous; Xiao Yan believed that if it were to fully erupt, it would be enough to suppress the Endless Fire Domain and thus lock him down.
The Black Heart itself seemed to be a Lower Plane transformed by Demonic Qi, filled with the Essence Blood and blood of the Outer Realm Evil Clan and Demonic Qi.
Before long, Xiao Yan found a severed hand.
The severed finger was quite long and narrow, with sharp nails that could not be concealed.
However, at this point, the wrist of the severed hand was charred black, the flesh had been carbonized and stuck to the bone, making it impossible to distinguish.
Three of her fingernails were broken off, leaving only two relatively intact ones, which were wrapped in wisps of Demonic Qi, cutting through the flames and attracting Xiao Yan's attention.
"This kind of racial talent is in no way inferior to the supernatural powers brought by the Divine Meridian!" Xiao Yan smiled slightly, the Outer Realm Evil Clan is truly full of treasures.
"Laugh..."
Just then, a faint sound came from behind.
The sea of fire and the river of Demonic Qi intertwined, and when they collided, a deafening explosion rang out. This subtle sound of air being torn apart was completely hidden in the explosion and did not attract Xiao Yan's attention.
A shadowy figure emerged from the Demonic Qi and approached Xiao Yan. When it broke through the flames, it was already inches away from him, making it impossible for him to dodge.
"Thump!"
The dark figure moved unimpeded towards its target, stabbing fiercely towards Xiao Yan's chest. A low, resounding impact rang out the moment the two made contact.
Immediately afterwards, a Glazed Radiance appeared on Xiao Yan's chest, and the dark shadow could not advance an inch, not even leaving a white mark on Xiao Yan's chest, but barely managing to tear open Xiao Yan's clothes.
"What the hell stung me?" Xiao Yan reached out and slapped it, and the dark shadow vanished instantly.
Looking in the direction from which the dark shadow shot out, the Demonic Qi in the distance surged, and two or three figures could be vaguely seen moving within it.
Before Xiao Yan could get close, five powerful auras pressed down from above.
Originally, this was the center of the continent, but the continent was destroyed by bombing, but Xiao Yan's location is still not high.
After the five Demonic Shadow appeared, the churning Demonic Qi also expanded suddenly, from which emerged two Demonic Shadow and a demonic soul, seemingly already reduced to nothingness.
"Seven Heavenly Demon Emperor?" Xiao Yan stroked his chin, feeling that the pressure didn't seem too great.
The strength of those who left their names on the Sky Ranking was enough to take down three Heavenly Demon Emperor without taking any damage, while Xiao Yan's strength, certified by the Immortal Great Emperor, was already enough to leave his name on the Sky Ranking.
In addition, Xiao Yan had some trump cards and called on several Late-Stage Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign to come and support him.
After thinking it through, Xiao Yan stopped rushing to escape and instead leisurely looked at the most imposing Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor, wanting to catch up with him.
But the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor had no intention of wasting words. After revealing his aura, he charged straight at Xiao Yan. The Saint Demon Flame, which was a mixture of black and white, burst forth and transformed into a ring of fire that covered an area of a hundred feet, imprisoning Xiao Yan.
"Old friend, why are you so enthusiastic right away?" Xiao Yan smiled, put his hands behind his back, and kicked the pillar of light formed by the Saint Demon Flame.
The invincible Saint Demon Flame could not hinder Xiao Yan in the slightest. Xiao Yan's pace did not slow down at all. The black and white flames were directly extinguished by it, and the originally seamless fire ring suddenly had an unsightly gap.
"He seems to have cultivated Immortal Flesh Body like the Immortal Great Emperor. My Heaven Slaying Blade couldn't even scratch his chest," the Heaven Slaying Demon Emperor, who had lost an arm, gasped.
Despite the belated reminder from the Heaven Slaying Demon Emperor, the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor did not react. He merely narrowed his eyes, first donning a layer of Saint Demon Flame Armor, and then engaging in a fire battle with Xiao Yan from a distance.
"You're crippled, how much fighting power do you have? Stop talking nonsense, give me all your Demonic Qi!" The Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor's voice was cold, but his eyes were fixed on Xiao Yan, never wavering for a moment.
"You..." The Heaven Slaying Demon Emperor's aura surged, but he did not refute it. Instead, he gathered the remaining Demonic Qi and passed it on to the Spirit Heavenly Demon Emperor behind the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor.
The Spirit Heavenly Demon Emperor emanated countless rays of demonic light, and behind him, the space rippled, as if containing vast oceans of Demonic Qi, his demonic power astonishing.
The two crippled Heavenly Demon Emperor quickly handed over their Demonic Qi to the Spirit Heavenly Demon Emperor for him to devour. Just as they were about to leave, a burst of fire swept across countless miles in an instant, enveloping all the Heavenly Demon Emperor and even imprisoning the space itself.
"Endless Fire Domain..." All the Heavenly Demon Emperor showed expressions of shock and anger. Originally, they wanted to trap Xiao Yan in the Endless Fire Domain to hunt him down, but now Xiao Yan had turned around and released the Endless Fire Domain to imprison them.
Among them, the most enraged was the Demon Soul, who was the Patriarch of the Corrosion Demon Clan. The Corrosion Demon Clan was born with the power of corrosion, and any power that came into contact with it would be gradually corroded.
The Corrosion Heavenly Demon Emperor's mission was to corrode a point in the Endless Fire Domain. However, because he was distracted while trying to control that Lower Plane, he failed to completely evade Xiao Yan's bombardment, and his physical body was burned to ashes.
Xiao Yan's actions at this moment made the Corrosion Heavenly Demon Emperor's mission a joke.
Xiao Yan had no intention of running away. He single-handedly suppressed both the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor and the Dark Heavenly Demon Emperor who came to his aid!
The Heart Demon Emperor's attempts to interfere were completely ineffective!
"Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor! Are you done yet!" The Dark Heavenly Demon Emperor could no longer maintain his elegance; his pale face was scorched red by the flames.
The Dark Heavenly Demon Emperor didn't have the Saint Demon Flame Armor, nor did he have any fire resistance. After fighting Xiao Yan for a while, he felt like he was about to be defeated!
"Immediately!" came the reply from the Spirit Heavenly Demon Emperor.
All the billions of demonic lights surrounding the Spirit Heavenly Demon Emperor suddenly converged and enveloped the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor. Streams of powerful Demonic Qi surged from his body, engulfing the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor like rivers.
The Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor, located at the center of endless Demonic Qi, began to swell. The Spirit Demon Clan's talent was to possess pure Demonic Qi that far surpassed that of ordinary Outer Realm Evil Clan, and the Demonic Qi within the Spirit Heavenly Demon Emperor's body was more than three times that of the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor.
Not to mention the two remaining half-crippled remnants of the Heavenly Demon Emperor, which more than doubled the number again.
Faced with such immense Demonic Qi, even without any resistance, the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor felt waves of throbbing pain throughout his meridians, and he would have to forcefully activate them in the future—regardless of the outcome of this battle, the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor would inevitably be injured.
Just as the Spirit Heavenly Demon Emperor finished pouring the Endless Demon Sea into the body and protected the two crippled and one useless Demon Emperor as they retreated, the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor's eyes suddenly turned a deathly pale color.
Almost instantly, a pale color completely covered the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor's eyes, making them appear like the Eyes of the Death God, radiating a chilling Death Qi.
The body of the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor had swelled to more than twice its original size. The Corpse Qi that had been draining all the life force contained in the space was now churning even more violently. Combined with his pale, deathly eyes, he truly looked like a vengeful ghost crawling out of hell.
Xiao Yan also slowed down his attack and glanced sideways at the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor, who had undergone a complete transformation.
Despite the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor and the Dark Heavenly Demon Emperor blocking his way, Xiao Yan still broke through everything with unstoppable momentum, his fist wrapped in several streaks of fire as he slammed it fiercely towards... the Heart Demon Emperor.
This guy has been affecting Xiao Yan's soul from the very beginning. Now that the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor has unleashed a powerful attack, Xiao Yan can no longer tolerate it and decides to take care of this harassing guy first.
The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor and the Dark Heavenly Demon Emperor were more concerned about the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan suddenly attacked the Heart Demon Emperor. Caught off guard, they decided to catch their breath and wait for the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor.
Under these complicated circumstances, the Heart Demon Emperor had no choice but to confront Xiao Yan directly.
The Heart Demon Emperor felt that Xiao Yan was like a god descending to earth, his body radiating a dazzling divine light, making it extremely difficult to even open one's eyes and look directly at him, let alone contend with him.
A heavy blow slammed into his chest. The Demonic Qi he used to protect himself was of no use. The fist was like a sharp sword, piercing straight through the Heart Demon Emperor's chest.
"Puff!"
A mouthful of demonic blood was suddenly spat out towards Xiao Yan, but before it could make contact, it was blocked by a flame.
The Heart Demon Emperor's body instantly withered, as if all the life force in his body had been drained, but his soul fled to the side of the Corrosion Heavenly Demon Emperor. The two demonic souls huddled together, hiding behind the Spirit Heavenly Demon Emperor.
At this moment, the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor knelt down in mid-air. His body, which had swelled up, began to wither slowly, while the life force of flesh and blood contained within was extracted and quietly condensed.
As its body shrank, streams of pale air seeped out. This air, squeezed out by life force and flesh, merged with the life-devouring Corpse Qi, continuously condensing in the sky.
Even with the suppression of the Endless Fire Domain, a massive, pale shadow, approximately hundreds of thousands of feet in size, still slowly emerged.
Although the giant shadow was enormous, it was incredibly clear. It wore Black Crown and held White Scythe. It was clearly a grotesque corpse. As the Death Qi burst forth, even the flames around it were blasted away, as if a true god of death had descended to reap lives.
Xiao Yan did not continue forward. The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor and the Dark Heavenly Demon Emperor also suddenly stepped aside, while the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor knelt down before Xiao Yan.
As the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor bowed, his chilling voice, filled with boundless killing intent, echoed throughout the heavens and earth like the call of death:
"The Three Kowtows of the Corpse God; First Kowtow: Life Deprivation!"
The Corpse God Giant Shadow bowed down to Xiao Yan along with the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor. The moment its head was lowered, an aura of death swept out like a storm, forcibly stripping away all life wherever it passed.
The once bright Endless Fire Domain now presents a grayish-white color, as if it has become a funeral portrait, devoid of vitality.
The Life Spirit Flame that make up the flowers, grasses, and trees were completely unable to resist this aura of death. They were stripped out of the Small World of the Endless Fire Domain and then extinguished.
Xiao Yan's body trembled slightly, his hair was disheveled, and even the Glazed Divine Light emanating from his body dimmed a little.
Although he did not achieve the desired results, he did witness Xiao Yan's first setback. The Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor remained calm, but his eyes were filled with cold light.
"You're not invincible, are you?"
The next moment, the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor's body no longer showed any signs of swelling, and even began to become somewhat withered, with a large number of wrinkles appearing all over his body. The life force within his body poured into the Corpse God Giant Shadow that exuded terrifying Corpse Qi as if it were free.
"Second Kowtow: God Devouring!"
The Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor lowered his head again, and the Corpse God Giant Shadow also moved in sync. A gray light, no more than ten feet thick, suddenly shot out from the Corpse God Giant Shadow's eye.
Xiao Yan immediately tried to move to avoid the attack, but the gray light completely ignored the suppression of the Endless Fire Domain, pierced through space, and followed closely behind Xiao Yan like a shadow.
Since he couldn't dodge it and had to take it head-on, Xiao Yan stopped moving and clasped his hands together. A long dragon appeared in his palms, formed from pure Fallen Heart Flame. Combined with Xiao Yan's Soul Power, which had evolved countless times, it met the deathly gray light head-on.
The two intertwined, releasing streams of Corpse Qi and fire waves, while their power was rapidly depleted.
Just then, the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor suddenly pressed down, and the Dark Heavenly Demon Emperor's vortex-like eyes also glared at Xiao Yan. A pillar of fire blending black and white, along with black pupil light, shot towards Xiao Yan.
However, the space did suddenly blur, and then the speed of the fire pillar and the pupil light slowed down strangely. It was a full breath later that they finally hit Xiao Yan.
At this moment, the gray light had been neutralized, and Xiao Yan freed his hand to meet the attack. Although he was knocked back dozens of steps by the two attacks, only a mark appeared on his palm, and he felt a slight pain.
"Originally, this final blow was meant to be delivered together with the Corrosion Heavenly Demon Emperor..."
A faint voice echoed, and the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor bowed his head once more.
Thousands upon thousands of Bone Corpse Beasts crawled out from the Corpse Qi emanating from the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor and stormed into the Endless Fire Domain, wreaking havoc.
These corpse beasts all contain extremely domineering Corpse Demon Poison. Even if the Heavenly Sovereign and other Demon Emperor are corrupted, they will turn into corpses. At this moment, in the Endless Fire Domain, they are showing an unstoppable power.
The Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor himself trembled violently, and all his flesh and blood disappeared. The essence of his flesh and blood, which had been tempered for countless years, was now integrated into the Corpse God Giant Shadow along with his life force.
As the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor transformed into a skeleton, drops of black corpse fluid dripped from his bones.
This black corpse fluid, known as the Extreme Evil Corpse Water, is viscous and foul-smelling, permeated with an aura of death and annihilation. A single drop is enough to turn billions of living beings in a Lower Plane into corpses.
At this moment, those drops of black corpse water transformed into a small stream, flowing upstream and converging together, only to be swallowed whole by the Corpse God Giant Shadow.
A terrifying Death Qi emanated from the Corpse God Giant Shadow. At this moment, the Corpse God Giant Shadow's aura had already surpassed that of an ordinary Late-Stage Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign, and its energy fluctuations were even slightly higher than Xiao Yan's!
"The Corpse God strikes three times, and the World Destruction!"
