The battle began in a way that most people did not expect.

And then it came to an abrupt end in a way that no one expected.

Just half an hour ago.

Many cultivators still felt that this was just an ordinary Exchange Meeting on an ordinary day.

But half an hour later...

Five True Lord were wiped out in one fell swoop, and two large sects collapsed. The entire situation in the Storm Sea has been rewritten!

Xiao Chen, the one who started all of this, showed almost no excitement.

They had already gone to the Heavenly Sound Sect's Warehouse on their own.

However, the many True Lord watching from the outside were deeply moved and found it difficult to calm down for a long time.

"That's... the end?"

Lie Que True Monarch's eyes held a hint of confusion and astonishment. "It's that simple?"

The series of unexpected events caught him off guard, leaving him unable to process them for a while.

How could this happen?

Those were a full nine fourth-tier Corpse Puppet!

As soon as they were released, they were all instantly melted.

That was a meticulously crafted Mountain Protecting Grand Array set up by the Heavenly Sound Sect!

The operation had barely begun when the main force was killed, despite all the restrictions placed upon them.

That was the renowned Yang Jiu True Monarch had been famous for hundreds of years!

The moment the trump card was revealed, it was instantly burned to ashes by a terrifying flame.

That's too fast!

Everything ended too quickly!

It happened so fast that even the viewers were caught off guard.

Can a battle between Nascent Soul True Lord really end so quickly?

Even setting aside the fact that it would have been exhausting to fight for over three hundred rounds, it shouldn't have ended so quickly, right?

Those who knew the truth would think it was a battle between Nascent Soul True Lord, but those who didn't would think there was a Major Realm between them, and that someone was bullying the weak.

And speaking of bullying the weak, the strong are the ones who are bullying the weak.

Xiao Chen was only in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, while his opponent had a Nascent Soul Late Stage and a Nascent Soul Great Perfection.

Hiss~!

Lie Que True Monarch couldn't help but gasp. Thinking about it this way, it was even more outrageous!

Hiss~!

Heng Yi True Monarch True Lord couldn't help but gasp and rub his eyes.

He had only seen a ray of light fall from the sky.

Then, an endless sea of fire surrounded the three members of the Yin Corpse Sect.

The focus of Heng Yi True Monarch's attention was not on Yang Jiu True Monarch, but on the other two people behind him.

Not long ago, Fiend Refining True Monarch and Bone Offering True Monarch were still talking eloquently at the Exchange Meeting, showing everyone their understanding of the Great Dao.

Judging from their communication alone, they spoke quite well, which is enough to prove that their level is not low.

However, amidst the blazing flames that resembled Heavenly Fire, it was completely powerless to resist and was burned to ashes.

In terms of sheer expressiveness, it was even inferior to the previous Corpse Puppet.

It's hard to know whether to laugh or be afraid.

"If I had been standing in that spot, could I have withstood the attack?"

The thought that Heng Yi True Monarch couldn't help but come to mind was that, as a rogue cultivator, he always valued his own safety.

However, after objectively assessing the situation...

He had to admit that even if he used his treasured protective amulets, he could probably only hold on for a little longer before he could no longer continue.

If you can't counter their moves, failure is only a matter of time.

However, breaking through such a powerful, almost Heavenly Fire- like top-tier Fire Method is extremely difficult.

"Tsk tsk tsk, such an amazing performance, he has definitely Cultivator of Magic to the Great Accomplishment Realm."

Huo Xinghuai was equally astonished by the powerful Fire Method, and couldn't help but sigh, "But he's only been cultivating for a few years, yet he's managed to the Cultivation Realm and his Law Technique at the same time."

"No wonder he's considered a prodigy on the other side of the Compassion Sea!"

He almost immediately recalled what Withered Leaf True Monarch had said earlier.

When he first heard this evaluation, he felt it might be a bit exaggerated; even if it was an acquaintance, there was no need to praise them like that.

Looking back now, however, this wasn't an exaggeration at all; it was clearly an overstatement of modesty.

They were so low-key it seemed like they were deliberately concealing their strength.

Oh, could it be...?

Huo Xinghuai couldn't help but wonder if it was because the Yin Corpse Sect had squeezed the Jade Leaf Commerce Association out of the Lightless Sea that Withered Leaf True Monarch harbored resentment.

Therefore, they deliberately concealed Xiao Chen's true strength just now.

Otherwise, if you had told me earlier that Xiao Chen was this powerful, even if the Yin Corpse Sect had ten times the courage, they wouldn't have dared to take this step.

Thinking of this, Huo Xinghuai recalled the creed passed down through generations in Hundred Herbs City.

That means having more friends means having more options, while having more enemies means having more obstacles.

And now it has indeed come true!

The Yin Corpse Sect failed to befriend Withered Leaf True Monarch, which resulted in the latter keeping silent at a crucial moment, watching them jump into the fire pit without uttering a sound.

I wonder if they regretted it when they were finally engulfed in flames?

However, by then, it would be too late to regret it.

Now, the entire Nascent Soul True Lord army of the Yin Corpse Sect has been wiped out, and its mountain gate has long been breached by Xiao Chen, which is almost equivalent to the sect being exterminated.

In this way, the Jade Leaf Commerce Association should be able to happily re-establish its guild in the Lightless Sea.

Huo Xinghuai turned to look at Withered Leaf True Monarch. He must be very happy to see this scene.

But he was wrong.

Withered Leaf True Monarch stood there in a daze, completely unaware that he should be happy.

Instead, I only feel a little regretful, regretting that I chose a side too late!

It's important to know that when he led the Jade Leaf Commerce Association to escape the Compassion Sea for refuge, Xiao Chen had not yet broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Later, due to the separation of the two places by the Kunpeng Sea, the flow of information became extremely difficult.

Although he had heard some information from the rogue cultivators, he knew more about Xiao Chen than the other True Lord of the Storm Sea.

But I had absolutely no idea he would be this fierce!

Otherwise, if you had told me earlier that Xiao Chen was that capable, he wouldn't have needed to think it over and over again until today.

The moment they learned that the other party had appeared in the Lightless Sea, they rushed over to make amends.

He directly denounced the Yin Corpse Sect's atrocities against the Chamber of Commerce, and then volunteered to act as a guide.

Finally, all you have to do is cheer and shout, and you can happily earn a reputation for exorcising demons.

Of course, empty fame is fine too.

Withered Leaf True Monarch was more concerned about was whether the young lady still had any hope.

In his view, ordinary cultivators were simply not worthy of his young lady.

But just when you finally find a good match, the other person has already soared to great heights.

For some reason, Withered Leaf True Monarch suddenly recalled the scene when Xiao Chen left Listening Wave Island last time.

The young lady even joked, "If I had known, I should have called him up earlier."

"If I miss this opportunity, I might have to address him as 'fellow Daoist' the next time I see him."

Withered Leaf True Monarch Canye comforted him, saying, "It's alright, breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage doesn't happen that quickly."

There will definitely be other opportunities later.

Who would have thought that the joke would actually come true?

Even now, if we meet for the first time and are not acquaintances, addressing Daoist Xiao would seem a bit presumptuous; it would be more appropriate to address him as Demon Burning True Monarch.

"Alas, in this world, many are destined to meet but not to be together."

Withered Leaf True Monarch sighed softly.

Some things you miss without even realizing it.

Only in the future can we truly appreciate it and realize that many things only happen once.

What's missed is missed.

"Sigh, what's done is done!"

Ling Tianyi gripped the Demon Slaying Sword tightly, his heart filled with regret. "I don't know if I'll ever encounter Fourth-Tier Demonic Cultivator again in the future."

I've studied the Demon Subduing Sword Art for so many years, and chanted the Exterminate Demons and Defend the Dao for so many years.

They arrived too late and didn't even get a chance to draw their swords.

Why did the battle end so quickly?

That Yang Jiu True Monarch, can't you be a little more assertive?

If he could hold on a little longer, or if his Corpse Puppet could play a more significant role.

Then Ling Tianyi should have a chance to step forward and help in the battle.

Although he was Newly Promoted True Monarch, he was confident that he could Fiend Refining True Monarch or Bone Offering True Monarch with his sword, thanks to the Demon Subduing Sword Art to restrain demonic cultivators.

After rushing all the way, we finally made it here.

In the end, he was hit by Sonic Wave Impact for no reason, and then the battle was over.

So he just came here to get beaten up?

What's even more infuriating is that the enemy who attacked him had already been killed, leaving him no chance for revenge.

"But in any case, it's a good thing that these demonic cultivators didn't completely succeed."

Fortunately, Ling Tianyi never expected to make a name for himself solely through demon slaying.

One day he will prove to the world with his true skills that the Demon Subduing Sword Art can not only slay demons, but also suppress all directions if mastered.

In fact, that's basically what Che Guang True Monarch thought too.

The only difference between the two is that one wants to demonstrate the way of the sword, while the other wants to demonstrate the Thunder Method.

Even now.

While Che Guang True Monarch was secretly communicating with his senior brother, he said, "Senior brother, let me analyze the situation for you in detail."

"This Xiao Chen is clearly not normal!"

"Look at him! Not only is his cultivation speed fast, but he can even find time to practice Law Technique!"

"It's one thing to cultivate Law Technique, but he can actually unleash such powerful, even illogical, Fire Method."

"As you know, Senior Brother, I've been cultivating the Demon Punishing Thunder for almost forty years now."

"Although I'm still one step away from achieving mastery, I've already grasped the essence of it."

"At the same time Demon Punishing Thunder is originally Law Technique used to counter demonic cultivators, so it should have a restraining effect when facing a barrier of demonic energy."

"So here's the question!"

"The demonic energy barrier that could withstand my Demon Punishing Thunder without being damaged was actually burned through by Xiao Chen using Fire Method."

What does this mean?

Azure Firmament True Monarch glanced at him helplessly. "Oh~, what do you want to say?"

With a tone of certainty, Che Guang True Monarch said, "This proves that what he used was not Law Technique at all, but his Innate Divine Ability!"

"In other words, he was actually Great Demon Transformation!"

"Otherwise, how could a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator possibly wield such powerful Fire Method?"

"But if he is actually a fully grown Fourth-Tier Golden Luan, then wouldn't everything make sense?"

The Che Guang True Monarch spoke with excitement, as if he had discovered some incredible secret.

Azure Firmament True Monarch couldn't help but put his hand to his forehead, then sternly shattered his junior brother's strange fantasy. "You are Great Demon, Daoist Xiao cannot be Great Demon!"

Do you understand what I mean?

"From this moment on, if you ever again call Daoist Xiao Great Demon, I'll strike you down with a bolt of lightning and turn you into Great Demon!"

Instead of practicing your skills, you're spouting nonsense all day long.

"If you had the same abilities as Daoist Xiao... never mind, that's a bit of a high bar."

"Even with only half the skill, a trip to the Kunpeng Sea would surely bring me encounters with Great Demon."

While refuting Azure Firmament True Monarch, Che Guang True Monarch was also secretly sighing in his heart.

Even reaching half of Xiao Chen's abilities would be quite difficult.

Engage in battles against opponents of higher levels, fight multiple enemies single-handedly, and complete the challenge quickly.

If any one of these three scenarios could be accomplished on its own, it would be quite absurd.

As it turned out, Xiao Chen took all of them by himself.

Hiss~, is that a person?

Could it really be Great Demon Transformation?

Even Azure Firmament True Monarch suddenly wavered. Was this really something a human could do?

Fortunately, he had only just entertained the thought before shaking his head and dismissing it.

It's all Che Guang True Monarch kept talking about the Great Demon, and ended up infecting him with it too.

But it must be said that Xiao Chen is indeed too strong, to the point that he gives people a somewhat unreal, illusory feeling.

However, not everyone found this hard to believe.

At least for Cui Yunxian, she regarded all of this as an extra blessing brought about by her Path of Enlightenment.

Watching Xiao Chen display his divine power, I felt my heart surge with excitement, as if I were seeing my future self.

They all follow the Path of Enlightenment, so does that mean that one day she can achieve the same level?

She can defeat opponents far above her level, take on multiple enemies single-handedly, and Exterminate Demons and Defend the Dao with overwhelming force.

The thought of that exciting moment made her heart race and her breathing quicken.

Cui Yunxian secretly made up her mind to make Xiao Chen her target from now on!

After returning, I will continue to cultivate diligently, striving to catch up with, and even surpass, my opponent someday.

Moreover, it's worth mentioning that...

From the very beginning, Cui Yunxian had hoped that Xiao Chen could turn this unexpected turn of events into a victory.

At least they could survive instead of falling victim to the Yin Corpse Sect's wickedness.

In this way, she had the opportunity to visit this like-minded person and discuss their cultivation experiences in the Path of Enlightenment.

Now that Xiao Chen has indeed won, we can consider paying him a visit.

However, their performance today was so dazzling.

The person will likely become extremely sought after, and it might not be easy to invite them for a private Dao Discussion.

Thinking of this, Cui Yunxian frowned slightly, revealing a troubled expression. This seemed to be a real problem.

How about we ask the master for help?

But I always feel that it's not good to rely on my master for everything.

Previously, due to special circumstances and the unknown changes, it was indeed difficult for her, a Newly Promoted Nascent Soul, to make decisions on her own.

Otherwise, if a demonic cultivator were to harbor malicious intentions, that would be disastrous.

Now that the crisis is over, acting alone shouldn't be too dangerous. You should figure out your own way.

After thinking for a moment, Cui Yunxian decided that she should try to invite Xiao Chen herself first.

If we really can't find someone, then we'll think of other ways.
