"Roar!!!"
Hongjun, who had been sent flying backward, suddenly let out a muffled growl. Veins writhed beneath his skin like earthworms, and two foot-long fangs emerged from his upper jaw. The right half of his face had transformed completely into a beast's, black tentacles waved behind him, and savage spikes sprouted from every joint.
He had become a thoroughly terrifying monster.
At the same time, Hongjun's aura changed dramatically. He grew even colder and more sinister, like an unfeeling deity who enslaved all living beings.
"Something's wrong!"
Li Yi lightly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and watched Hongjun, whose aura had changed so drastically. He noticed that although Hongjun's strength had surged once more, his pupils kept alternating between a dazed and focused state, as if two emotions were fighting for control.
"Could it be that Hongjun's soul hasn't completely merged with the Heavenly Dao?"
A suspicion crossed Li Yi's mind, but he quickly cast aside such useless thoughts. The terrifying puppet before them was about to attack again. A black blade of light tens of millions of zhang long was already suspended in the newly formed Chaos World, radiating a bone-chilling killing intent. Worlds continually formed and collapsed around it.
"Roar!!!"
The War Puppet swept its arm, as immense as an ancient mountain range, toward them. The black blade of light immediately stretched longer, transforming into a gigantic crescent saber that slashed toward Li Yi and the others. It meant to kill Li Yi, Hongjun, Luo Hou, and Shen Ni all at once.
"Divine Demon True Body!"
At this life-or-death moment, Li Yi didn't dare hold anything back. In almost an instant, he revealed his supreme Dao body, tens of thousands of zhang tall, and a kingly bloodline aura spread out from him.
