The pitch-black demonic light that Li Qingshan transformed into streaked across the sky like a comet, heading eastward.
Wherever he went, the Calamity Qi in the world seemed to be drawn in, becoming more intense and active, and his undisguised, almost tangible, overwhelming demonic power was unleashed.
It was like throwing a boulder into a calm lake, instantly shattering the fragile balance at the edge of the Western Heaven Realm.
For the first few days, he simply followed his instincts, wandering aimlessly through the desolate mountains and broken plains.
The Demonic Embryo, newly formed and stimulated by the great battle, is in a highly unstable and restless state. Its remaining consciousness is like a candle in the wind, rising and falling amidst endless bloodlust and destructive impulses.
When he passed by places where he sensed wild creatures or Divine Race settlements, he didn't even need to think.
The sheer pressure emanating from the demonic body, or even a casual wave of its hand, is enough to instantly reduce living beings to ashes, their essence, blood, and souls greedily devoured by the Demonic Embryo, further nourishing the chaotic source of destruction.
No one knows how much time has passed; time has lost its meaning for the demonic Li Qingshan.
Not too far from the " Sighing Corridor " is a tribe of the mid-level Divine Race " Gale Harpies ".
They occupy a magnificent valley where the wind element is active, and the tribe has a female chieftain who has just entered the Immortal God Realm.
When Li Qingshan's demonic cloud enveloped the valley, its pure, soul-freezing demonic power plunged the entire tribe into panic.
"What kind of demon dares to invade my territory of Galewind!" The female clan leader suppressed her heart palpitations and led the clan's elite troops into the sky in an attempt to stop them.
They unleashed a raging gale, transforming it into countless azure wind blades that tore through space, raining down on the figures within the demonic clouds.
The only response they received was a low, guttural roar that seemed to come from the deepest Hell.
The demonic clouds churned, and a gigantic hand, entirely formed from chaotic demonic energy, reached out, ignoring the wind blades that could tear through refined gold, and gently grasped them.
"Puff"
It was like crushing a bunch of ants.
The female clan leader, along with several elite members of her clan, didn't even have time to scream before they exploded into clouds of blood mist in the demon's clutches. Their souls were instantly eroded, assimilated, and devoured by the demonic energy.
Below, in the aftershocks of that demonic force, mountains collapsed and buildings turned to dust. The surviving harpies let out desperate howls and scattered in all directions.
Li Qingshan didn't even stop; the demonic cloud continued eastward, leaving behind only the ruins of a completely destroyed tribe, and the lingering, thick demonic energy and the stench of blood in the air.
This destruction served as a signal, igniting a full-blown conflict in the Western Heaven Realm border region.
" The Gale Harpies has been wiped out!"
It's a terrifying demon unlike any I've ever seen before!
"What terrifying demonic energy! It's even purer than the demons of the abyss! Could it be a newly born Great Demon under Lucifer's command?"
"He's heading east! Quickly inform the families and temples along the way!"
The news spread like wildfire.
Many Divine Race and clans, who claimed to be righteous, or were fighting to defend their territory, or simply wanted to slay demons and make a name for themselves, began to organize interceptions at the front.
The first significant interceptor was a God King from the " Boulder Temple " and his legion of rock giants.
These giants are born with superhuman strength and powerful bodies. They can also draw upon the power of the earth to form an indestructible battle formation.
They studied Li Qingshan's route and, after calculation, set up their formation in a canyon he was sure to pass through. The thick, earth-yellow divine light merged into one, like a barrier against the earth.
"Demon, halt! This place belongs to the Stone God!" The God King's roar abruptly ceased.
Li Qingshan, inside the demonic cloud, didn't even use any supernatural powers; he simply rode the demonic cloud straight into it!
"Boom!!!"
It was like a red-hot iron striking butter.
That seemingly impregnable barrier of the earth was utterly fragile before the chaotic demonic energy that contained the meaning of Return to the Ruins.
Wherever the demonic cloud passed, the rock giants' proud and powerful bodies crumbled, petrified, and shattered, their souls and cores being devoured by the demonic cloud.
The God King attempted to detonate his own divine essence to stop it, but was entangled by a wisp of black energy that split off from the demonic cloud. Instantly, all his divine power and life force were drained, and he turned into a withered corpse that fell from the sky.
The entire canyon was then shattered by the God King's corpse, becoming his own tomb and the tomb of the rock giants' army.
The Calamity Qi between heaven and earth grew increasingly intense, and many Immortal God became increasingly frenzied. It wasn't just Li Qingshan who was relentlessly slaughtering; the entire Heavenly Realm had gradually transformed into a battlefield of carnage, and no one could remain uninvolved.
Several increasingly frenzied and enraged Immortal God, and even god- Wang Family along the way did not flinch or evade the towering demonic clouds.
They have gone completely mad.
The " Flame Prison Fire " family, skilled in fire magic, had already been killing each other when the demonic cloud arrived.
The " Shadow Dagger " family, skilled in Void Shadow assassination.
A family of dragon knights, bound by a pact with an ancient blue dragon, fight amongst themselves, yet also unite to block and even kill this sudden " Great Demon."
Without exception, the results were as follows.
The raging flames of the Flame Prison Fire were reversed by the demonic clouds, burning itself to ashes;
The Shadow Dagger's deadly assassination attempt couldn't even penetrate Demon Cloud's defenses; the recoil shattered his soul.
The dragon knight, along with his ancient blue dragon companion, was torn in two by Li Qingshan's demonic claws. Dragon blood cascaded down like a waterfall, and the dragon soul was devoured with a mournful cry.
Li Qingshan's demonic body, instead of becoming tired from continuous killing and devouring, grew increasingly solid and terrifying.
The demonic flames surrounding him gradually shifted from pitch black to a deeper, chaotic color that seemed capable of devouring all light.
His fighting style became increasingly simple and direct, often involving nothing more than overwhelming with demonic energy or a casual strike, yet containing the terrifying power of the laws of annihilation.
The Great Demon did not appear often, but each time they did, it signified the utter despair of their opponents.
The Beginningless Bell freezes time and space, the Sun Demon Sun burns all things, and the Western Emperor's Withering Law strips away life.
His infamous reputation spread as quickly as a plague.
"Terrifying! Absolutely terrifying! Even Immortal God are like clay chickens and earthen dogs in his presence!"
"His demonic power can devour all energy to strengthen himself! We cannot fight him for long!"
"Quickly, summon the Archmage of the Arcane Federation!"
Go and invite the patriarch of the Battle War Family!
Go and summon the chief god of the temple! We can't let him continue to wreak havoc!
Finally, Li Qingshan's recklessness provoked some truly ancient and powerful beings.
On a desolate wasteland that was once an ancient battlefield and is now filled with death and resentment, Li Qingshan was blocked in his way.
The interceptors were not a single person, but three beings whose auras converged, a vast and boundless entity.
One was an old man dressed in a star-patterned robe and holding an ancient oak staff. His eyes seemed to hold countless magical runes that appeared and disappeared. He was one of the elders of the " Arcane Federation ".
Victor Starmark, known as the " Starry Sky Guide," is a top-tier archmage in the early stages of the God Emperor.
The other was a burly man, over 12 feet tall, with muscles bulging like metal, wearing only simple leather armor and carrying a giant sword the size of a door.
He is Hector Wildhammer, the current patriarch of the " Battle War Family," and also a God Emperor level powerhouse who proves his Dao through strength and whose physical body is comparable to a divine weapon.
The third figure is a woman bathed in soft, natural light, dressed in a long emerald green dress and holding a tender green branch.
She is Verdandi, the goddess of life Forest Song, representing the order and balance of nature, and possessing the strength of God King.
" Great Demon, your slaughter should end here."
Victor Victor's voice was deep, and he slammed his staff on the ground. Instantly, the surrounding space was enveloped by an invisible magical barrier, isolating the inside from the outside, preventing the aftershocks of the battle from spreading, and also preventing Li Qingshan from escaping easily.
Chief Hector drew his greatsword from his back, its blade pointing at Li Qingshan, his ferocious battle intent sweeping out like a storm. "Having devoured so many Immortal God, let me see if your bones are as hard as your mouth!"
Verdandi's expression was solemn. She waved the branch in her hand, and the soft green light attempted to purify the pervasive demonic energy and bring the solace of life, weakening Li Qingshan's demonic nature. "Lost being, lay down your butcher's knife. Perhaps the radiance of nature can cleanse your sins."
However, all that responded to them was a pair of pitch-black eyes in the demonic cloud, completely consumed by madness and violence, and a roar that seemed to come from a primordial demon god, filled with disdain and a bloodlust!
"Roar!"
A great battle erupted instantly!
Victor struck first, brandishing his staff and chanting a simple yet ancient incantation. " Starry Sky Fall!" In an instant, the sky turned pitch black, and countless meteorites burning with magical flames of various colors appeared out of thin air, crashing down on the demonic clouds like a cascading galaxy!
Each meteorite contains destructive magical energy, enough to easily severely injure or even kill an ordinary God King.
Chief Hector, like a maddened ancient beast, treads on the Void, each step causing Void to tremble. He wields his massive door-shaped sword and delivers a simple vertical slash.
A terrifying sword aura, capable of tearing apart heaven and earth, slashed towards Li Qingshan. The power and laws contained within the sword aura were pure and domineering, as if it could cleave the world in two.
Verdandi's green light, like a leech, kept trying to penetrate the demonic cloud, seeking the origin of Li Qingshan's Demonic Embryo, and attempting to purify and weaken it.
Faced with the combined attack of three powerful figures, Li Qingshan, hidden within the demonic clouds, finally revealed an even more terrifying form.
His figure swelled once more, transforming into a thousand-foot-tall demon god, with chaotic demonic energy surging forth like a tsunami!
He threw a punch upwards, the force of which transformed into a gigantic chaotic demonic fist, surging upwards to collide with the countless meteors falling from the sky!
"Boom!"
Countless meteorites exploded under the demonic fist, and the dazzling magical light and chaotic demonic energy annihilated each other, turning the sky within the barrier into a bizarre and destructive scene.
The demonic fist continued its relentless advance, directly piercing through Victor Victor's Meteor Law, forcing him to teleport away.
At the same time, Li Qingshan spread his fingers on his other hand and grabbed directly at Chief Hector's earth-shattering sword energy!
"Clang!!!"
A piercing clang of metal rang out, sparks flying everywhere! The terrifying sword energy, powerful enough to cleave mountains, was actually seized by Li Qingshan with his demonic claws, and then his five fingers squeezed tightly!
"Crack!" The sword energy shattered! The Hector ' eyes widened in horror.
This demon's physical body is actually stronger than his Battle God Body?!
As for Verdandi's purifying green light, the moment it came into contact with the chaotic demonic energy, it was like a drop of water falling into a pot of boiling oil.
It made a hissing sound and was quickly eroded by the demonic energy, unable to reach Li Qingshan's essence at all.
"Impossible! How can his demonic energy level be so high?" Archmage Victor exclaimed in shock. He felt as if his magical rules had met their nemesis in front of his opponent.
"Attack together, don't hold back!"
Chief Hector roared and charged forward again, his greatsword flashing, creating a flurry of sword shadows, each strike imbued with the laws of annihilation.
Victor also unleashed an even more powerful composite forbidden spell: frost, fire, lightning, arcane energy—destructive energies of various attributes surged toward Li Qingshan like a tidal wave.
Verdandi also abandoned purification and instead unleashed a nature-based attack spell. Countless enormous vines, as large as mountains, burst from the ground and coiled around the demon's body, while sharp wooden spikes rained down on the demon's eyes.
"Demon, devour the universe!"
The demon god that Li Qingshan had transformed into let out a muffled roar. He opened his huge mouth, and the chaotic demon cave that had devoured countless energies reappeared. Although it was not as condensed as when he fought Lucifer, it was much larger in scale!
The Demon Cave was like a bottomless abyss, generating a terrifying suction force!
Victor's combined forbidden spell energy, Hector's sword energy, Verdandi's wooden thorn vines, and even the space, light, and energy within the surrounding barrier were all frantically pulled towards the demon cave!
"Hold on!" Victor Victor's expression changed drastically as he desperately maintained the barrier and himself. Chief Hector also felt unsteady, and his attack was distorted.
Verdandi's vines snapped and were swallowed by the demon cave.
Li Qingshan, controlling the Demon Cave, charged towards the three of them!
He intends to devour these three "foods" who dared to stand in his way, along with their power!
"Not good! Retreat quickly!" Victor finally felt fear. This demon's strength far exceeded his expectations, and the strangeness and domineering nature of his demonic arts were unheard of!
Chief Hector roared repeatedly, but he couldn't escape the terrifying suction force; his greatsword even began to crack.
Verdandi's natural radiance dimmed rapidly before the Demon Cave.
