Envying Me to Death
Seeing the pitiful state of the Sea Beasts, Bai Qiuran vaguely understood why there were no powerful Sea Beasts capable of devouring Immortals in the Canghai Vast Sea near the Demon Realm.
Because the First Ancestor Demon Emperor who dwells here is probably the most powerful and terrifying Sea Beasts in this Vast Sea, or at least one of them.
This area near the sea belonging to the Monster Race is essentially its territory. Naturally, powerful Sea Beasts that can sense its presence will not casually approach this area and risk their lives.
In other words, these Spirit Severing Stage and Nascent Soul Stage Sea Beasts were merely provisions kept in this sea area by the First Ancestor Demon Emperor.
After devouring several more Sea Beasts, the First Ancestor Demon Emperor, whose hunger and thirst had eased slightly, seemed to have regained some of its rationality. Although its eyes were still filled with bloodlust and madness, and its thoughts were mostly still in a Chaos, it had begun to mobilize its power according to the memories deeply engraved in its mind and began to use its past supernatural Divine Ability.
Golden demonic power, or rather, a higher level of energy that goes beyond Demon Essence, began to flow across the body of this Nine-Headed Dragon. One of its heads roared to the sky, and the dark clouds in the sky within a hundred miles were suddenly forcibly pulled in and kneaded into a thundercloud.
The rolling Tribulation Lightning fell like a dense rain, covering the entire ocean and turning a large area of the surrounding sea into a plasma pool brimming with electrical energy.
The next moment, the dark clouds were inexplicably cleaved apart by a force. Bai Qiuran threw down the hilt of his sword and asked Su Xiangxue in his arms, "Hold on tight, I'm about to exert my strength!"
Upon hearing this, Su Xiangxue moved closer and grabbed his arm tightly.
Bai Qiuran didn't let Su Xiangxue leave him or hide elsewhere, because being by his side was the safest place in this area. Even though the First Ancestor Demon Emperor had become a mindless zombie, his Divine Ability powers and cultivation were still boundless. After he activated his power, he had completely taken control of this Heaven and Earth of the Demon Realm's near-shore waters.
No matter where Su Xiangxue escapes, with the cultivation of the First Ancestor Demon Emperor, crushing her would be effortless. It's safest to keep her by his side.
The Demon Emperor's nine heads began to unleash their Divine Ability, some manipulating heavenly lightning to weave a dense electric net, others stirring up tsunamis to control the mountains and valleys on the sea, and still others spewing out crescent-shaped air blades, poisonous mist, and blazing flames.
It seems that Superpower possessed by dragons in legends can be found in the nine heads of the Demon Emperor. In fact, its middle head is raised high and opens a gate to another world in the sky, drawing in the terrifying aura within as a weapon.
Bai Qiuran very familiar with the world behind that door; it was the Underworld Ghost Realm, which governed the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Faced with these countless powerful and unparalleled Divine Ability, Bai Qiuran took out an Iron Sword from his Storage Bag. Just as he was about to draw it, he suddenly felt a sense of stagnation around him.
The surrounding air seemed to transform into a tangible wall, freezing him within it. A force from all directions sealed him in place.
"Careful!"
The Wisdom Immortal promptly reminded him, "This is the Authority of Heaven and Earth wielded by the Immortal Emperor. The First Ancestor Demon Emperor has completely seized control of this Heaven and Earth!"
The sky was dark and gloomy. Under the manipulation of the First Ancestor Demon Emperor, even the Stars in the sky were changing. The Sun set in the west, the Star River reversed, and the entire Heaven and Earth turned into a dark and gloomy space.
Obstructed by this Divine Ability, Bai Qiuran's movements faltered, and he had no time to block the next attack. He could only shield Su Xiangxue behind him and use his face to withstand the heavenly lightning, giant waves, Poisonous Miasma, and raging flames, as well as the purest death aura from the Ghost Realm Underworld Emissary might not be able to use.
The last gust of black wind swept by, leaving Bai Qiuran's clothes tattered, his headband and the book corroded, and his White Hair. He asked, "Wisdom Immortal, is there any way to break this attack?"
"Those with an energy level above the Immortal Emperor can try to seize control from it; at that point, it will be a pure contest of the depth of each person's foundation."
Wisdom Immortal quickly replied, "Unfortunately, you have enough energy, but without True Essence, you can't use this Divine Ability True Qi... Just use brute force to overcome skill, whatever you want."
"True Essence again... I'm so envious!"
At this moment, the Heaven and Earth force of the First Ancestor Demon Emperor subsided, Bai Qiuran cracked her neck, saying, "So, all we have to do is come at us, right?"
"Yes."
"Alright then."
Bai Qiuran stood on the sea, her face contorted in a grimace, seemingly doing something puzzling.
Sensing the rapid, surging energy emanating from him, Su Xiangxue asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
"I'm trying to suppress the maximum amount of True Qi I can mobilize at this level; I don't want to break through to a higher realm yet."
Bai Qiuran explained with a bitter face, "This First Ancestor Demon Emperor truly lives up to his name; he's incredibly powerful. He actually forced me to the point where I was about to break through my limits before I could fight him. It's truly terrifying."
You're the scary one!
Su Xiangxue couldn't help but say.
"Okay, I'm pretty much getting the hang of it."
Bai Qiuran's energy reaction gradually stabilized. Then he drew his Iron Sword, twisted his wrist, and strode towards the First Ancestor Demon Emperor.
"Nine-Headed Dragon, prepare to die!"
"Roar!"
Although the former was just walking around casually, without even taking a proper stance, the First Ancestor Demon Emperor, who only had his fighting instincts left, inexplicably felt an unprecedented sense of threat.
Without hesitation, it mobilized the Authority of Heaven and Earth, and the surrounding space once again solidified into an almost tangible pressure, firmly holding back Bai Qiuran.
But this time, Bai Qiuran's arm trembled as he raised it. With his movement, the surrounding space began to twist and break under the strain, and tiny Spatial Rift began to appear before merging back together.
"I think I understand... this feeling."
Bai Qiuran raised her leg.
"That move is useless against me... Take this!"
With a thunderous thud, Bai Qiuran's footsteps struck the sea, instantly creating a massive hole. Seawater burst forth in all directions, and amidst the spray, Bai Qiuran's sword silently pressed against the base of the massive body of the First Ancestor Demon Emperor, where the nine dragon heads were connected.
The Heaven and Earth seemed to freeze for a moment, then a raging storm appeared—
The blazing white Sword Qi traversed thousands of miles across the sea. Because the venue was the Vast Sea, Bai Qiuran had no scruples. The Sword Qi, stretching over thousands of miles, moved freely across the Vast Sea. Within the Sword Qi energy, the nine heads of the First Ancestor Demon Emperor flew high into the air, dripping with golden blood, before falling onto the sea surface.
These nine-headed monsters generally possess regenerative Superpower, so simply cutting off one head won't kill them. Therefore, Bai Qiuran chose to cut them off cleanly and efficiently with a single stroke.
The giant waves caused by the Sword Qi surged endlessly, and within the waves, the headless, enormous body of the First Ancestor Demon Emperor floated on the sea like an island.
