In Luo Feng's view, Mad Demon was clearly about to bring out greater strength to end this confrontation.

That demonic, blood-red blade had likely grown through countless killings, just like Mad Demon's name. And that was indeed the case. His blade was also named the Mad Demon Blade, and the name Mad Demon had risen from countless corpses. The number of those slain beneath his blade was beyond counting.

If Luo Feng's will had not been stronger than Mad Demon's, that bloody, murderous aura alone would have made him drop to his knees. A will that had only just undergone Saint Transformation absolutely could not withstand such baleful energy.

Even though Mad Demon had comprehended the mysteries of the Time Origin, Luo Feng now understood that he was far from being Mad Demon's match.

"Is this his true strength? How terrifying!" Luo Feng drew in a sharp breath.

"Morosa!" Luo Feng summoned Morosa.

In truth, Luo Feng could have tried to end this battle with the Lie Yuan Technique. But first, he wanted to test Morosa's strength, and second, he wanted to observe a Saint Realm battle.

At Luo Feng's side, the honest-looking Morosa appeared in silver armor. At present, Morosa had disguised himself as an ordinary Saint Realm expert.

"A Saint Realm?" Mad Demon noticed the tall silver figure beside Luo Feng. "So he had a Saint Realm expert by his side all along. Is this his guard? For a Saint Realm guard to be assigned to him, what is the background of this human, Galaxy?"

A string of thoughts flashed through Mad Demon's mind.

Appearing out of nowhere like this was not teleportation. He had clearly emerged from a world ring.

"When did I, Mad Demon, become so timid?" Mad Demon immediately shook his head, and a mad thought arose in his mind. "If this human Galaxy truly is the disciple of some God King, he must have countless treasures on him. Even if I kill him, the God King behind him may not be able to trace it back to me. And even if he can, the world is vast. Where can I not go? What do I have to fear?!"

"Hmph!"

Mad Demon snorted coldly, transforming into a dazzling streak of blood-red light as he charged at Luo Feng.

Morosa knew what to do as well. A scepter appeared in his hand—it was Xiaotao, which Luo Feng had obtained from Evil Eye.

Morosa unleashed his World Domain. It was essentially similar to a Saint Realm Chaos Domain, except it carried an intense aura of destruction. It resembled the Chaos Domain of a Saint Realm expert who had comprehended the Destruction Origin, yet it was even stronger.

"Come." Morosa had been itching for a fight. Destruction ran in his bones, and he was exceptionally battle-hungry. As he looked at Mad Demon, excitement was plainly visible in his eyes.

Boom!

Morosa, transformed into silver light, clashed with Mad Demon, transformed into blood-red light, in an instant.

Morosa's World Domain combined with Luo Feng's Chaos Sea was no weaker than Mad Demon's Chaos Domain. It even managed to suppress it slightly in return.

However, there was no denying that Mad Demon's strength as a Four-Origin Saint Realm expert was truly formidable. Even with his domain suppressed, he still held the upper hand against Morosa.

"Was he just playing with me earlier?" Luo Feng watched Mad Demon's strength. Mad Demon was now so powerful that it filled him with despair.

Morosa was almost entirely at a disadvantage.

"Mad Demon is strong, but Morosa isn't bad either. They can fight."

"Without exposing his true form, Morosa's strength should be at the level of a Third-Origin Saint Realm. If he truly fought with everything he had, he could probably rise another level and possess at least the strength of a Four-Origin Saint Realm." Watching the two battle, Luo Feng formed a rough estimate.

Without exposing his World Beast King true form, Morosa had transformed into an ordinary Saint Realm expert, so naturally he could not fully unleash his complete strength. He was probably only using sixty to seventy percent of his full power.

But a World Beast King's defense was monstrously powerful and incredibly resilient. Even Mad Demon, a Four-Origin Saint Realm expert, would likely find it difficult to harm Morosa.

Luo Feng had experienced this firsthand long ago.

Back then, Luo Feng had been the strongest in the Universe Ocean. Only with the suppression of the Star Tower and a God King-level blade blank had he barely managed to injure Morosa. A World Beast that had become a king likely possessed even more absurd defensive power. A Saint-level World Beast King could not possibly be harmed in the slightest by a mere Four-Origin Saint Realm expert.

Morosa and Mad Demon continued to clash.

Morosa did not need to devote much attention to defense, only guarding himself a little whenever he sensed danger. Yet Morosa's attacks were not much weaker than Mad Demon's either. Morosa constantly traded injury for injury, so although Mad Demon held the suppressive advantage, the fight was extremely stifling for him.

"Die!" Mad Demon snarled, his blade light as red as blood.

"Hmph!"

Morosa showed no fear at all and had no intention of blocking. He directly allowed the blood-red blade to strike his body. Yet that seemingly incomparably sharp slash was like chopping into extremely soft rubber clay. Morosa's entire body was stretched incredibly long by the blow, but it simply would not break.

At the same time, Morosa's scepter, carrying endless destructive power, also struck Mad Demon.

The incomparably violent power of destruction seemed to ignore armor as it frantically consumed Mad Demon's divine body.

In an instant, they exchanged over ten thousand blows. Mad Demon's divine body was repeatedly depleted, and he was about to go mad. Although each loss was not great, he would eventually find it unbearable if this continued.

Morosa clearly seemed to be only a First-Origin Saint Realm expert, yet his combat power rivaled that of a high-level Third-Origin Saint Realm expert. Mad Demon could completely suppress Morosa, but he could not injure him in the slightest.

Moreover, Morosa fought shamelessly, relying on his terrifying defense to trade "injury" for injury with him.

Of course, Mad Demon still held a certain degree of initiative due to his slightly superior suppressive power. However, he discovered that he could not bypass Morosa to kill Luo Feng.

Morosa clung to him like a plaster, and while he could suppress him, he could not shake him off completely.

Yet he seemed unwilling to give up. This human apparently had quite a background and could withstand Saint Realm attacks, so he definitely possessed many supreme treasures. On top of that, Palace Master Lihua had made her promise. How could he encounter such a good opportunity again?

"If only I had a Saint-level sealing palace-type supreme treasure. I may not be able to kill him, but I could completely suppress him." Mad Demon was furious. In his eyes, this silver-armored Saint Realm expert was like a piece of ultra-elastic rubber clay. Unless one's strength reached a certain limit, one could not harm him at all.

"I'm leaving." Mad Demon no longer wanted to keep entangling with him. Though unwilling, there was nothing he could do.

Without looking back, Mad Demon flew in the opposite direction.

"Trying to leave?" Luo Feng was startled as he watched Mad Demon suddenly fly away in the opposite direction. His expression turned cold. "Morosa, don't let him leave!"

Morosa understood Luo Feng's intention and immediately transformed into a streak of silver light to pursue him.

Under the suppressive enhancement of Morosa's World Domain and Luo Feng's Chaos Sea, Mad Demon was slightly slower than Morosa. Morosa easily caught up to him.

"Leaving now? Too late!" Xiaotao in Morosa's hand stretched to tens of millions of kilometers, then smashed fiercely toward Mad Demon.

"You're courting death!" Mad Demon grew even angrier.

He could not kill Morosa, but the initiative was still in his hands. Morosa could not do anything to him either.

This time, he directly began burning his divine power.

Of course, Morosa had also learned the Divine Power Burning Method.

Though there was still a gap between their strengths, it was not great enough for a complete crushing victory.

Morosa and Mad Demon clashed once more, but this time Mad Demon was clearly even more frenzied. He could not kill an Eternal True God, and he could not kill someone who had only comprehended the Destruction Origin either. The frustration in his heart was immense.

Demonic blood-red blade light surged like brilliant flowers blooming one after another in the void. Morosa stood amid the sea of flowers. Though he was not seriously harmed, he looked somewhat disheveled.

Luo Feng's eyes shone as he watched their battle.

He had comprehended the Destruction Origin, so every one of Morosa's strikes was beneficial to him. Likewise, Luo Feng used a blade, so Mad Demon's blade techniques were even more helpful to him. In particular, every slash containing the mysteries of the Earth Origin, Wood Origin, and Time Origin was endlessly regenerative yet incomparably weighty.

More importantly, Luo Feng could now understand the mysteries of the Time Origin. As he watched Mad Demon's blade, it was swift and strange, even carrying a kind of beauty as though time itself had become disordered.

Luo Feng guessed that if not for Morosa's monstrous defense, even a Third-Origin Saint Realm expert with strength equal to Morosa's would not have been Mad Demon's match.

"Morosa, keep forcing him to attack." Luo Feng communicated with Morosa through their souls.

A battle like this was exceedingly rare. Naturally, Luo Feng would not let it go easily.

"Yes, Master."

Under Morosa's active assaults, Mad Demon went completely mad and thoroughly suppressed Morosa.

"Trying to compete with me in attrition? Let's see how you can keep this up." Mad Demon sneered inwardly. This time, he had become much smarter. Trade injury for injury? He would not trade with him. He could not injure Morosa, but he could deplete Morosa's power alongside his own.

In terms of divine power consumption, he naturally did not believe that a First-Origin Saint Realm expert could compare to him, a Four-Origin Saint Realm expert.

Under the siege of endless blade light, Morosa was being suppressed and felt stifled as well. But without Luo Feng's permission, he could not use his full strength.

His sole priority now was to keep forcing Mad Demon to attack.

And as a World Beast King, Morosa was naturally not foolish. Taking advantage of this battle, he frantically absorbed insights and gradually perfected his own combat system. Every World Beast King possessed the complete Destruction Origin, but their strengths still differed. Only through constant comprehension and refinement could one become stronger.

Morosa was suppressed, yet he continued attacking relentlessly, never allowing Mad Demon to rest.

The battle between the two remained locked in a stalemate.

The fight continued for several full hours, until even Mad Demon was about to go completely insane.

"Human Galaxy, didn't you want to know who wants to kill you? I'll tell you. Can we stop here?" Mad Demon transmitted his voice to Luo Feng. Under the suppression of the dual Chaos Domains, he could not free himself for the moment.

"Stop?" Luo Feng smiled. "That is precisely what I had in mind. But I don't need your answer to know it."

"Because I will kill you!"

Luo Feng looked at Mad Demon from afar, his eyes like lightning.

"You?" Mad Demon wanted to laugh.

But suddenly—

Just as a trace of unease rose in Mad Demon's heart, he discovered that everything around him seemed to freeze and vanish. Morosa disappeared, and the surrounding Chaos Domains disappeared as well. In his field of vision, only the eyes of the human Galaxy remained, staring at him.

Those eyes transformed into an incomparably massive planet. The planet spun rapidly, releasing a hazy mist as boundless might spread outward.

In an instant, an incomparably sharp, intangible will shot from the planet like an arrow loosed from its bow, piercing directly into Mad Demon's will.

It was the supreme secret technique, the Lie Yuan Technique!
