On the battlefield, the azure sword and the pitch-black demonic shadow clashed, neither yielding to the other.
They remained evenly matched.
But if this continued, the Sword Domain Expeditionary Army would fall into a disadvantage.
After all, they were not fighting in the Great Thousand World, and their spiritual energy was limited.
On the other three battlefields, both sides had already exchanged blows many times.
While controlling the Spirit of Battle Intent, Yi Jian Heavenly Sovereign deliberately glanced toward one of those battlefields.
Three figures flashed and collided across that battlefield.
Even from far away, the dragon roars could be heard clearly.
With a spear in hand, Futu Yijing's bloodline surged and roared within him. Suddenly, bloody light burst through every part of his body. His aura towered into the heavens as a terrifying, uncanny crimson radiance bloomed, and his eyes became golden vertical pupils.
He stamped his foot, and a thunderous rumble rang out. Behind him, his Heavenly Sovereign Spirit Body appeared, clad in purple-gold battle armor, with the spiritual-energy dragon of the True Dragon Precious Technique coiling around it.
At that moment, Futu Yijing's Heavenly Sovereign Spirit Body resembled a venerable lord of the dragon race descending upon the world.
Terrifying demonic shadows now rampaged across the spear in Futu Yijing's hand.
"Demon-Slaying Spear: Demon Subduing!" Futu Yijing shouted, his expression cold.
The spear swept out, bearing an intense intent to slay demons.
As the spear swept toward them, steeped in potent blood energy, both Demon Emperors grew solemn.
They sensed a grave threat in this strike.
The two Demon Emperors exchanged a glance. Then two enormous Demon Emperor Spirit Bodies manifested, standing against Futu Yijing's Heavenly Sovereign Spirit Body as equals.
Both Demon Emperor Spirit Bodies attacked at once. Their different powers struck the same point, and terrifying destructive force slammed into the spear. The void itself seemed on the verge of exploding as a dreadful storm swept outward.
As the two attacks collided, Futu Yijing's Heavenly Sovereign Spirit Body stepped forward and raised its spear. Bearing the supremely sharp intent of a true dragon, it thrust into the void. With a thunderous boom, the spear plunged straight into the terrifying attack. Cracks appeared in space as it forcibly pierced the palm imprint, and both exploded into destruction.
A single exchange like this conveyed a sense of supreme power. This was a true battle.
Even the clash between the Spirits of Battle Intent on the other battlefield seemed somewhat lackluster beside this fight.
Yi Jian Heavenly Sovereign watched, feeling a little astonished.
So this was the man who had become a Demon-Slayer King of the Great Thousand Palace while still an Earthly Sovereign!
Now that Futu Yijing had broken through to Heavenly Sovereign, his combat prowess was even more peerless. He fought two Demon Emperors alone without showing the slightest fatigue.
Having a comrade like this truly put one at ease!
With that thought, Yi Jian Heavenly Sovereign stopped worrying about Futu Yijing's battlefield and devoted all his strength to driving his Spirit of Battle Intent against the Xuan Mo Guards' Spirit of Battle Intent controlled by the Demon Emperor.
The savage aura of war spread across the land.
With his True Dragon Bloodline boiling and burning wildly, Futu Yijing let out a heaven-shaking shout and swept his spear outward.
"Demon-Slaying Spear: Demon Annihilation!"
"True Dragon Precious Technique: True Dragon Heaven-Imprisoning Technique!"
The two divine abilities overlapped. The spiritual-energy dragon soared skyward before charging out to kill, while rampaging shadows of Demon Emperors struck with savage force. Heaven and earth seemed about to split apart.
The two Demon Emperors were not idle either. They frantically absorbed the demonic energy between heaven and earth to strengthen themselves, then shouted.
"Xuan Mo Palm!"
Two pitch-black palm imprints that blotted out the sky slammed toward Futu Yijing together.
The attacks collided and instantly exploded.
A bottomless crater immediately appeared in the earth beneath the three of them. Looking down, one could see only endless darkness.
"Today, both of you will be buried here!" Futu Yijing raised his spear, his expression icy, as vast spiritual energy poured from the Human Emperor Seal into his body.
This frenzied absorption seemed to have no end, spiritual energy replenishing him in an unbroken stream.
Blood-red light surged within Futu Yijing's golden vertical pupils. He circulated the Great Pagoda Art, and the Sacred Futu Pagoda hung high above his head. Beneath its crystalline radiance, even the demonic energy was partially sealed.
"This spear slays demons!"
Futu Yijing hurled his spear, boundless power gathering at its tip. He looked toward the two Demon Emperors, his gaze as sharp as the keenest sword.
The spear descended. From above to below, from the heavens to the earth, from front to back, everything was pierced. A line of light that cleaved the void appeared across that stretch of heaven and earth and lingered there. One Demon Emperor's body was pierced clean through, and his Demon Emperor Spirit Body instantly vanished like a bubble.
The figure faded, then collapsed into destruction. Just then, Futu Yijing's brow twitched. Suddenly, an immensely powerful palm imprint of demonic energy erupted beside him, its endless dark radiance steeped in dense demonic energy.
The surviving Demon Emperor seized this gap in Futu Yijing's assault, gathering vast demonic energy to unleash the strongest strike of his life against him.
That peerless combat prowess had told him that this young man absolutely could not be allowed to live!
Otherwise, the troubles he left behind would be endless.
"Die!"
Futu Yijing's expression did not change. He merely watched the Demon Emperor charging toward him.
Boom!
It sounded like a tolling bell, as though something had been opened.
The next moment, a ray of light illuminated the entire land shrouded in demonic energy.
It came from an enormous luminous humanoid figure. The instant it appeared, space itself seemed to have been reinforced.
This luminous figure stood tens of thousands of feet tall, radiating endless light.
Beneath that radiance, everyone in the Sword Domain Expeditionary Army felt warmth spread through their bodies. The cold, dense demonic energy that had been corroding them was completely dispelled at that moment.
The Demon Emperor's expression darkened as he gazed at the enormous luminous figure. But the arrow was already on the bowstring; there was no turning back.
This strike had to finish Futu Yijing.
Just then, a heaven-opening light flashed into being and swiftly formed an enormous Light Wall. The terrifying palm imprint of demonic energy slammed heavily into it.
Yet it only left cracks in the Light Wall, with no sign of breaking through.
The Demon Emperor's face turned extremely grim. When his strike failed, he retreated at tremendous speed.
But just then, a fist imprint bearing crystalline light and the intent of a true dragon hurtled toward him.
Beneath the crystalline radiance, his demonic energy was actually sealed.
Seeing the terrifying fist imprint, the Demon Emperor steadied himself and drew demonic energy from heaven and earth, forming a shield of demonic energy.
"Xuan Mo Shield!"
The fist imprint punched straight through the shield of demonic energy, but its power was exhausted in the process.
Having defended against it, the Demon Emperor inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.
But the next instant, Futu Yijing appeared before him, his spear already back in his hand.
He raised the spear, crystalline light wrapping around it, and thrust with a savage aura. The spear tip pierced straight through the Demon Emperor's chest. This thrust shattered his demon heart!
