"With someone holding them back from the front, it really is completely different."
After Xu Yue cleaved the Extreme True Sky Demon into two with a single sword, he spoke with a beaming smile.
Though his essence, energy, and spirit had been drained dry, leaving his face rather pale, the demonic qi near the Demon Realm passage swiftly replenished him.
Compared with the injury he had suffered when exchanging blasts with Lord of the Big Dipper, this time had merely been pure expenditure from his technique.
It had been as smooth as a hot knife through butter.
"You brat, just what kind of demonic art have you cultivated? It won't affect your mind, will it?"
Only now did Jade Cloud Yuanjun recover from her churning Vitality and Blood.
Even though the Calamity Suppressing Cauldron had previously struck the Extreme True Sky Demon, restraining him, the disparity between her and the Extreme True Sky Demon remained. They had exchanged a completely straightforward palm strike head-on.
While further worsening the Extreme True Sky Demon's stiffness and creating an opening for Xu Yue, she herself had not come through unscathed.
Still, as she watched Xu Yue standing at the entrance to the Demon Realm passage as if he were a fish in water, Jade Cloud Yuanjun could not help showing concern.
"Don't worry. I have the true intent of the Heaven Severing Seven Swords suppressing my innate nature and true spirit. Demonic qi at this level won't affect me."
Xu Yue spoke as if nothing had happened. Aside from the drastic change in his temperament, there was nothing wrong with his expression.
Jade Cloud Yuanjun had also seen Cao Xianzhi use the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts to transform into an evil demon, borrowing the aura seeping through a Nine Nethers fissure to strengthen himself.
