While Liu Changxu fought fiercely with the early-stage Great Encompassing snow deer across the Island-Guarding Grand Formation, the Kunpeng Demon Emperor's onslaught grew ever more ferocious.
To conserve his strength for the two other Demon Race Quasi-Emperors who would soon arrive, the Northern Dark Immortal Emperor retreated inside the Island-Guarding Grand Formation whenever his Immortal Power consumption became too great, relying on the formation to keep the Kunpeng Demon Emperor occupied.
But the Kunpeng Demon Emperor's attacks were too fierce. Every blow inflicted considerable damage on the Island-Guarding Grand Formation.
Although the Island-Guarding Grand Formation could still hold out for a while, its fall was only a matter of time. The only question was how long it would last.
Many Human Race experts on the island understood this outcome. Yet without a decree from the Northern Dark Immortal Emperor, there was nothing they could do, however anxious they felt. They could only wait in dread.
Compared with the vast majority of Human Race cultivators on the island, Liu Changxu remained calm even under the early-stage Great Encompassing snow deer's concentrated attacks.
Liu Changxu was no longer the man he had once been. Having mastered ten percent of the Spatial Great Dao Laws, he was confident he could escape even if he was no match for the early-stage Great Encompassing snow deer.
That was unless the Kunpeng Demon Emperor or another Demon Race Quasi-Emperor personally moved against him, but that possibility was slim.
Still, to ensure he had enough Immortal Power left when he fled, Liu Changxu never used his full strength when counterattacking the early-stage Great Encompassing snow deer.
With the Northern Dark Immortal Emperor holding the enemy in check and the Island-Guarding Grand Formation protecting the humans, the demons had failed to breach the formation despite their superior strength.
