"Li Yao could clearly feel that during the battle, Ye Yu’s strength had undergone a tremendous change, growing stronger with every fight."
"Especially that last punch—it completely shattered his heroic aura."
"At this very moment, he already knew he was no match for Ye Yu."
"If the fight ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ continued any longer, he would very likely be killed on the spot."
"To avoid this outcome,"
"Li Yao had only one thought now: to flee!"
"The farther the better."
"Once he had fully recovered, then he would seek revenge!"
With this thought, Li Yao’s mind shifted.
A small cauldron appeared before him.
Then, at a terrifying speed, it rapidly expanded,
finally becoming a gigantic bronze cauldron about a hundred zhang tall.
On the front of this cauldron was engraved the image of the divine beast White Tiger,
vivid and lifelike, strikingly realistic.
As Li Yao poured his magical power into it,
the White Tiger on the bronze cauldron gradually separated, forming a huge phantom in the air that let out an angry roar toward Ye Yu.
In that instant, heaven and earth trembled.
The divine beast White Tiger represented killing intent.
Although it was not a real White Tiger, just a phantom,
this murderous aura was still piercing to the extreme, even darkening the originally clear sky.
This bronze cauldron was Li Yao’s life-bound demonic immortal artifact—the Killing White Tiger Cauldron!
All along, whenever it was summoned, it was invincible.
But Li Yao clearly understood that if he wanted to use it to slay Ye Yu, that would be nothing but a fool’s dream.
However, merely to cause interference for a while, that should be possible.
The moment the White Tiger phantom lunged at Ye Yu, Li Yao did not hesitate in the slightest and turned to run backward.
Yet, he still underestimated Ye Yu’s decisiveness.
Ye Yu had already successfully activated the golden attribute titled Extreme Demon Path.
According to its description, it could completely ignore all attacks from demonic immortal artifacts below high grade.
Judging from the demonic aura waves emitted by this cauldron, it fully belonged to the mid-grade demonic immortal artifact category.
What else was there to say?
To hesitate even for a second would be a sign of distrust in his own physique.
Ye Yu charged directly at the White Tiger phantom.
Compared to it, his figure might seem insignificant.
But before absolute power, all appearances were merely superficial!
In an instant, the White Tiger phantom shattered at his touch.
Without losing momentum, Ye Yu continued to rush forward.
The gigantic Killing White Tiger Cauldron was thoroughly pierced through.
Because it was a life-bound demonic immortal artifact,
the moment it was pierced, Li Yao’s figure trembled, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
This caused him to lose his final chance to escape.
Li Yao was completely pulverized by Ye Yu’s punch into a cloud of blood mist.
The ancient demonic body he had painstakingly obtained after decades of hardship and scheming thus utterly perished.
Ye Yu silently felt the power filling his body.
At that moment, the system’s voice suddenly sounded.
"Ding, congratulations host, successfully acquired the golden attribute 'Land Devourer': the more land and demons you control, the stronger you become, and the deeper your comprehension of the Great Way."
Ye Yu rejoiced in his heart, drawing another golden attribute.
Honestly, he had been quite lucky recently!
After a moment, Pei Chuxia finally arrived here.
Upon seeing Ye Yu standing unharmed in place, her heart that had been suspended finally settled.
She hurriedly asked, "Where is the demon lord Li Yao?"
Ye Yu gently stroked Pei Chuxia’s fine hair and said softly, "I have avenged you."
Hearing this, she wept tears of joy.
The hatred suppressed within her heart for so many years was finally released.
That feeling was naturally indescribable.
Of course, in this ruined land, Ye Yu and Pei Chuxia quickly left.
They did not notice
that the blood mist of demon lord Li Yao scattered on the ground
had long ago been completely absorbed by some unknown force.
That day, because the battle between Ye Yu and demon lord Li Yao was so fierce,
the surrounding tens of thousands of li were reduced to ruins.
At the very center was a massive crater hundreds of li in diameter,
truly terrifying to behold.
Rumors spread that no one knew exactly what had happened,
but nearly a quarter of Niepan Province’s land had been completely shattered!
At first, many people heard this news and found it unbelievable.
"What kind of joke is this?"
"Do you know how big Niepan Province is? A quarter of the land?"
"Are your eyes broken?"
Honestly, everyone thought it unrealistic and treated it as a joke.
But unexpectedly, that very night, the demon lord Luo Fengtai of Wuyan Province voluntarily stepped forward to confirm that the event was true.
At that time, he was very close to the area.
He could determine with certainty that this was definitely a battle between two peak Ancient Demons at Demon King Realm here.
Although the demonic aura fluctuations spilling out were not that large,
the destructive power caused was terrifying.
Apart from the Ancient Demon bodies from the ancient era, Luo Fengtai truly could not think of anything else capable of causing such damage.
Once this news came out, the entire Demon Realm began to stir.
"Are you crazy?"
"A long time ago, in the ancient era of the Demon Realm, the Great Way pursued by the demons was the Path of Body Refinement."
"It emphasized the principle of 'Fist Breaking All Laws', invincibility in close combat."
"Even if a Heavenly Realm Immortal King stood before me, I would shatter him with a single punch."
"But later, the demons failed in their assault against the heavens."
"The Six Realms’ passages were broken, and the Demon Realm could no longer cultivate the body through the other five realms."
"This ancient demon body refinement method gradually vanished from the world."
"Later, only fragments remained in ancient texts to admire the power capable of breaking mountains and rivers with a gesture."
"Besides that, no one has ever witnessed the Ancient Demon body in person again."
Now, with Niepan Province shattered,
did this mean that those possessing powerful Ancient Demon physiques had reappeared suddenly?
This question caused countless people to deeply ponder.
The demon lord Luo Fengtai of Wuyan Province began to cease his attacks on Niepan Province and instead guarded the several small cities he had conquered, quietly observing the situation.
It was known that he was regarded as the most aggressive demon lord.
He had been the first to charge into the battle for Niepan Province.
Now suddenly stopping in place was undoubtedly an act of fear—
fear of disturbing the powerful Ancient Demon body masters and being directly eliminated.
After other demon lords saw this,
they too all ceased their attacks and began to watch the changes in Niepan Province.
But after half a month of observation,
a new force began to rise from Niepan Province.
In just two days, it not only conquered the main Demon Hall but also the eight surrounding small cities.
Such a decisive and thunderous momentum shocked the other demon lords.
But when they investigated and found out who this force belonged to,
they almost shattered in disbelief—
it was Ye Yu, son of Ye Chenyin, the demon lord of Juque Province!
