Xuan Yi Battles the Outer Realm Sky Demon (I)

The two opened their eyes again and found themselves in a desolate, barren land.

This was the demonic domain space created by Mo Yi. This space existed independently of the Primordial World, greatly suppressing Saints and even severing their connection to the Heavenly Dao.

Dense demonic qi drifted through the space, constantly eroding Nuwa's body, forcing her to circulate her mana to resist its corrosion.

"Husband, be careful! This is extremely strange. My cultivation has actually been suppressed to the second level of Sainthood!"

As she resisted the demonic qi, Nuwa reminded Xuan Yi to watch out.

Yet the demonic qi had no effect on Xuan Yi. Instead, it made the Luohu bloodline within him boil.

"Since you have trapped us here, Fellow Daoist, why not show yourself!"

Worried that the demonic qi would harm Nuwa, Xuan Yi decided to flush out the mastermind and leave this place as soon as possible.

"Hehehe!"

As the eerie laughter rang out, Mo Yi appeared before them amid a swirl of demonic qi.

"I originally only intended to kill one of you. I never expected a Heavenly Dao Saint to get dragged in as well!"

"Haha, if a Heavenly Dao Saint falls within this demon prison, reviving her will not be easy!"

"I wonder how much the Xuan Sect's fortune will decline after losing a Saint!"

Looking at the two trapped within the demon prison, Mo Yi believed he would certainly make them fall here. He burst into arrogant laughter.

"Fellow Daoist, I do not recall ever offending you. Why have you trapped me here today?"

Xuan Yi was deeply puzzled. Mo Yi was clearly targeting him, yet he had never interacted with anyone from the demonic realm.

"Of course, I was commissioned by someone. Today, you must both fall here!"

Mo Yi stopped wasting words on Xuan Yi and directly summoned the Xiantian Supreme Treasure, the Demon Dragon Blade, to attack them.

The towering demonic qi atop the Demon Dragon Blade gradually condensed, eventually transforming into a colossal demon dragon ten thousand zhang long.

It opened its great maw and swallowed the terrifying demonic qi into its belly. Its body then expanded several times over before it roared and charged toward Xuan Yi and Nuwa.

The Demon Dragon Blade had been formed from the first demon dragon created after Luohu transformed himself into the Outer Demonic Realm. Its demonic nature was immensely powerful. Even Saints would fall to demonic corruption if brushed by it, becoming subject to the will of the Demon Dragon Blade's master.

Moreover, this supreme treasure of the demonic realm specialized in offense. In terms of attack alone, it was no weaker than the Pangu Banner formed from the blade of the Pangu Axe.

Seeing the attack approach, Nuwa was being eroded by demonic qi and feared for her life. Xuan Yi told her to remain where she was while he stepped forward to meet it.

Sensing the terror of this strike, Xuan Yi did not dare be careless. He hurriedly summoned the Twelve-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus to shield Nuwa, then wielded the Primordial Chaos Measuring Heaven Ruler and condensed a sword qi ten thousand zhang long, slashing it toward the demon dragon.

Boom!

The two attacks collided, and the resulting shockwave sent both of them stumbling back several steps.

They were evenly matched in that strike.

Yet Mo Yi was bewildered. By all reason, Xuan Yi's strength should have been suppressed after entering the demonic domain, while Mo Yi's attacks should have become even stronger here. Why were they still evenly matched?

Before Mo Yi could think further, a heaven-piercing sword qi slashed toward him.

"Blood Demon Pagoda, arise!"

Mo Yi summoned another Xiantian Supreme Treasure. The Blood Demon Pagoda rapidly expanded as soon as it appeared, transforming directly into a treasure pagoda forged from blood that sheltered Mo Yi within.

As mentioned before, the Outer Demonic Realm was equivalent to the Primordial World reflected in a mirror. The Blood Demon Pagoda was the counterpart of Laozi's Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda. With it suspended above one's head, one could remain undefeated.

Dong!

Xuan Yi's attack landed on the Blood Demon Pagoda but failed to break through its defense, merely making the tower sway slightly a few times.

"Hmph! Competing in treasures? Then let us see who has more!"

With a wave of Xuan Yi's hand, the Xiantian Supreme Treasure Taixu Armor immediately clad his body, while the Qiankun Cauldron spun above his head.

Xuan Yi put away the Primordial Chaos Measuring Heaven Ruler. With a beckoning gesture, the God-Slaying Spear appeared in his hand.

Compared to the Primordial Chaos Measuring Heaven Ruler, the God-Slaying Spear was clearly more useful in this place saturated with demonic qi.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the God-Slaying Spear was summoned, it began frantically absorbing the demonic qi to repair itself.

The God-Slaying Spear had belonged to the Demon Lord Luohu. It had been damaged in the great battle long ago, causing its grade to fall until it became a Top-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasure.

And this boundless demonic qi happened to be the finest nourishment for repairing the God-Slaying Spear.

"The God-Slaying Spear! I never expected this treasure to be in your hands as well. Once I kill you, the Twelve-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus and the God-Slaying Spear will both be mine. When I bring them back to the demonic realm, the Demon Lord will surely reward me richly."

Seeing that the two great treasures Luohu had sought so desperately were both in Xuan Yi's hands, Mo Yi became even more determined to kill him.

"Luohu? You are Luohu's subordinate?"

Upon hearing Mo Yi mention Luohu, Xuan Yi realized that was not his biological father?

"Oh! Are you afraid?"

"Remember this: the one taking your life is Mo Yi, the foremost Saint under Demon Lord Luohu!"

Everyone in the Primordial World had heard Luohu's great name. Mo Yi thought Xuan Yi was shocked, so he announced his identity.

"Since you are Luohu's subordinate, what would you do if Luohu had a child?"

Recalling what he had learned about his origins from Hongjun and the others, Xuan Yi decided to test him. After all, Nuwa was carrying a child, and the demonic qi of this domain was eroding her every moment.

"A child? If the Demon Lord had a child, then that child would naturally be my young master!"

Mo Yi was confused as to why Xuan Yi asked such a question, but he answered honestly nonetheless.

"Back when Demon Lord Luohu fought Dao Ancestor Hongjun, I was born after absorbing Luohu's essence blood. I am Demon Lord Luohu's child."

"My Dao Companion fears for her life, and she is carrying Luohu's grandchild!"

Mo Yi was utterly dumbfounded. Demon Lord Luohu had a child? How had he not known about this?

For a moment, Mo Yi did not dare attack. If Xuan Yi truly was the Demon Lord's child, then he would have committed a grave offense.

The demonic domain fell silent for a time. Neither of them attacked again as they sized each other up.

"Hmph! Whether you are the Demon Lord's child or not, I will capture you today."

"Do not worry, I will not kill you. I will take you to the demonic realm. Whether you are the Demon Lord's child will be clear once the Demon Lord sees you."

After a long silence, Mo Yi no longer wished to delay. He intended to capture them both and take them back to the demonic realm.

"Since words will not work, do not blame me for being impolite!"

Feeling Nuwa's agony as the demonic qi eroded her, Xuan Yi could no longer concern himself with anything else. He summoned the God-Slaying Spear and attacked Mo Yi.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Both men attacked with all their strength, and the terrifying clashes made the entire demonic domain shake violently.

Watching Xuan Yi fight with all his strength, Nuwa was unable to help him. She had to circulate her mana to protect her child.

"Nine Transformations of the Heavenly Demon!"

Seeing that they were evenly matched and that he could not defeat Xuan Yi anytime soon, Mo Yi finally unleashed his signature technique, the Nine Transformations of the Heavenly Demon.

As Mo Yi's words fell, the endless demonic qi within the demon prison began pouring into his body.

Mo Yi's aura surged wildly, and his form slowly began to change.
