Possessing a Treasure Invites Trouble, Various Forces Give Chase

Outside the Sea Eye of Guixu, dark clouds gathered, and a fierce wind howled. As soon as Li Wuyang and Xuan stabilized themselves, they felt at least four or five powerful divine senses, like invisible tentacles, instantly lock onto them! The owners of these divine senses were at least Grand Unity Golden Immortals, and one or two had obscure auras, possibly reaching the Quasi-Saint realm!

"Trouble has arrived." Li Wuyang's expression sank. He knew that the manifestation of the Devouring Demon God's origin couldn't be silent. He had just forced back Hou Yi, Kuafu, and the demonic cultivators in the secret realm, but bigger fish were still lurking behind!

Xuan's expression remained calm, but her eyes were sharp as knives. Sensing the rapidly approaching auras, she said coldly, "There are demons, demonic cultivators, and... the Dragon Race? It seems we've become the main course."

As soon as she finished speaking, demonic clouds rolled in from the eastern sky, and a banner embroidered with a three-legged golden crow fluttered in the wind – it was the banner of the Demon Heavenly Court! Leading them was a Demon Saint clad in golden armor, exuding a fierce aura, commanding hundreds of demon soldiers and generals, their killing intent palpable!

In the west, demonic energy surged. The three demonic cultivators who had fled earlier returned, bringing with them a figure shrouded in dense black fog, their face obscured. The demonic might emanating from this figure caused the surrounding space to warp! It was likely a Demon Lord under Demon Ancestor Luohu!

In the south, water vapor permeated the air, and dragon roars echoed! A thousand-zhang green dragon soared through the clouds, its dragon might immense, followed by countless shrimp soldiers and crab generals! It turned out the Four Seas Dragon Clan had also intervened!

In the north, a sharp sword light flashed. A Daoist with a stern face, carrying an ancient sword on his back, strode through the air. His aura was pure and powerful, appearing to be a mighty Sword Immortal among rogue cultivators!

The four directions converged, blocking all escape routes!

"Hand over the Demon God's origin! We can leave your corpse intact!" the Demon Race's Demon Saint roared like thunder, speaking first.

"This item has a connection with my demonic path. It would be best if you handed it over obediently, young friend." The Demon Lord in the black fog spoke with a hoarse voice, laced with a soul-bewitching demonic power.

"The legacy of a Chaos Demon God is a public treasure of the Primordial World. How can you hoard it for yourselves! Hand over the treasure and await judgment!" the green dragon spoke human words, its dragon eyes filled with authority.

Only the Sword Immortal from the north watched coldly, remaining silent. However, his sword intent locked onto them, his threat implicit.

Li Wuyang's scalp tingled. This scene was too terrifying! He couldn't possibly deal with any one of them! He subconsciously moved closer to Xuan.

Facing the powerful enemies from all four directions, Xuan showed no fear. She took a step forward, subtly shielding Li Wuyang behind her. Her heterochromatic eyes swept across the crowd, and she said with an icy voice, "You want it? Come and take it yourselves."

Before her words even fell, she struck first! Her target was the greatest threat – the Demon Lord in the black fog!

"Finger of Annihilation!"

She pointed her fingers like a sword, flicking them at the Demon Lord from a distance! A subtle, almost invisible gray line pierced through the void, instantly reaching the Demon Lord!

The Demon Lord clearly hadn't expected Xuan to be so decisive. In a hasty move, the black fog surged, forming a demonic shield to block!

Chii—!

The gray line struck the demonic shield. There was no earth-shattering explosion. The demonic shield, as if erased by an eraser, vanished in a large chunk without a sound. The Demon Lord behind it also let out a muffled groan, the black fog thinning slightly, clearly having suffered a hidden loss!

"How dare you!" The Demon Race's Demon Saint was furious upon seeing this. He summoned a colossal flaming axe and unleashed a sea of fire ten thousand zhang wide, burning towards Xuan!

The green dragon also spat out Profound Nether True Water, transforming into a monstrous tidal wave that swept towards them!

In the north, the ancient sword was drawn from its sheath, and a sword energy that tore through heaven and earth arrived moments later!

Facing the overwhelming attacks, Xuan's expression remained unchanged. She pressed her hands down, and the Domain of Annihilation unfurled once more! This time, the domain's range was larger, and the intent of annihilation was even deeper!

The sea of fire from the flaming axe was quickly extinguished at the edge of the domain! The giant wave of Profound Nether True Water, as if hitting an invisible dam, could not advance an inch! Only the sharp sword energy tore a slight gap in the domain, but its power was greatly reduced, and Xuan casually swatted it away!

Fighting four against one, Xuan was actually holding her own!

But Li Wuyang could see that Xuan's complexion had paled slightly. Simultaneously confronting so many powerful experts of the same or even higher level was a huge drain on her! Moreover, the opponents clearly hadn't gone all out yet; they were just probing and wearing her down!

"We can't fight for long!" Li Wuyang was extremely anxious. He had to do something!

He looked at Huaihuai, Little Fire, Yingying, and Jinbao. His companions were also tense, but their eyes were resolute.

"Let's go for broke!" Li Wuyang hardened his heart and shouted to his companions, "Little Fire! Disrupt the demons! Huaihuai! Lead us to prepare for a breakthrough! Yingying! Healing aura! Jinbao! Find an opportunity to throw treasures at them!"

With that, he circulated the Huang Ting Jing with all his might, pushing the wisp of Xuanhuang Qi in his dantian to the extreme and channeling it into the Sky-Opening Axe (Imitation) in his hand! The axe erupted with unprecedented chaotic light. Although its power was far inferior to Xuan's, the intent of creation and destruction it exuded caused the attacking powerhouses to pause slightly!

"Sky-Opening Strike!" Li Wuyang roared, unleashing an axe strike with all his might towards the relatively weaker Dragon Race!

A condensed chaotic axe gleam, though not exceptionally powerful, carried a profound intent and successfully drew some of the green dragon's attention!

Little Fire roared and spat out its innate true fire, harassing the demon forces. Yingying scattered large areas of healing and tranquility powder, alleviating Xuan's pressure. Jinbao took out various miscellaneous items from its Void-Concealing Pouch (ores, spirit herbs, even some beast bones picked up earlier) and hurled them like grenades at everyone, causing little damage but being extremely annoying!

The sudden burst of effort from Li Wuyang's "ragtag team," while unable to change the overall battle situation, successfully created brief chaos and interference!

Seize this fleeting opportunity!

The silver light in her eyes flared, and she held nothing back! A more powerful surge of the Power of Annihilation erupted, temporarily forcing back the four powerful enemies! At the same time, she grabbed Li Wuyang's wrist and shouted, "Let's go!"

The Power of Annihilation enveloped the two of them and all their companions. They instantly tore through the void, unleashing a spatial escape technique far exceeding their usual capabilities. They transformed into a faint gray line, heading towards a gap in the battlefield!

"Trying to escape? Chase!" The four powerhouses roared, each using their methods to pursue!

A thrilling chase ensued across the Primordial World!
