Under Bai Pu's restraint, the Ghost Warriors and Demon Tamers below Lord-level retreated one after another.
But the Black Emperor would not let Bai Pu have his way. He drew a circle on the spot, which rapidly expanded into a hemispherical curtain of water that enveloped the entire elevated dueling arena!
The water curtain gleamed with an azure radiance, beautiful yet deadly.
A Ghost Warrior accidentally touched the water curtain with a finger, and the finger was instantly corroded into pulp. That was not the end of it. Azure vapor traveled up from the finger, corroding his entire palm and even the elbow beyond it!
Fortunately, the Ghost Warrior was decisive enough to grit his teeth and sever his own arm. Only then did he escape with his life.
"Careful! This is the Black Emperor's demonic-power imitation of Azure Springs. It's a hundred times more vicious than Yellow Springs Water. Don't touch it! Use spiritual power to protect yourselves."
Bai Pu had exchanged information with Mei Xi through the Source Lord's Descent Meeting in the Mind Image Space, so he knew how dangerous Azure Springs was.
The Black Emperor let out a sinister chuckle and raised a hand, splitting off three demonic phantoms with a thousand hands and a hundred eyes. They were Hundred-Eyed Lian, the servant demon previously used by Xiyuan Zhang!

For a time, surging water-element demonic power filled the arena.
Even more terrifyingly, all that water-element demonic power had taken the form of the Black Emperor's imitation Azure Springs and possessed tremendous corrosive force! More and more Ghost Warriors were struck by the flowing demonic power, losing their ability to defend or
