Become a fairy alone

"The Demon Skull Nether Oak?" Lu Xiaotian's eyes widened in surprise. Even without the Ancient Demon Emperor using the Boundless Demon Blade, Lu Xiaotian was no longer afraid of him.
However, the old demon has been on the throne for too long, and he probably has a lot of treasures in his hands. The Heaven-Stealing Myriad Demon Map is right in front of him, but it will probably take some effort to completely break into it. After all, a demon emperor is not someone he can easily control.

Compared to the previous battle, what we are facing now may be a more comprehensive contest of skills.

Numerous bolts of lightning struck the towering Demon Skull Oak, causing the skulls that sprouted on the tree to open their maws and begin absorbing the lightning's power. For a moment, although the Demon Skull Oak was crackling with electricity, it remained unharmed. In fact, these demonic trees appeared even more vibrant.

For a moment, the numerous demon armies behind them breathed a sigh of relief. After all, they had managed to block the terrifying sea of ​​lightning. The Demon Emperor's role at the crucial moment was irreplaceable.

Lu Xiaotian frowned. He had never heard of the Netherworld Oak Tree having the ability to devour lightning before. However, the Netherworld was so vast that Lu Xiaotian dared not say he could fully understand its mysteries.

After these demonic oak trees absorbed a large amount of lightning, the skulls on them fell to the ground and, like seeds, could reproduce into new demonic trees. In a short while, the entrance to the demonic map had grown into a lush forest.

Lu Xiaotian observed carefully. Everything has its weaknesses. The torrent formed by the sea of ​​lightning contained too many kinds of lightning power. Generally speaking, similar lightning power gathered together. This is the same principle as birds of a feather flocking together.

The density of lightning energy and the different attributes of the lightning energy should affect the effectiveness of attacking the magic oak tree.

Undeterred by the temporary failure of his attack, Lu Xiaotian simply guided other lightning forces to launch another attack. By alternating between them and increasing the intensity of the attack, he was bound to break through the opponent's defenses eventually.

The Ancient Demon Emperor, who primarily used the Wood element, stood leaning on his sword within the Demon Diagram, quietly awaiting Lu Xiaotian's method of breaking the spell.

After a few tentative attempts with limited effect, when the attack was switched to a combination of lightning powers, primarily the Blazing Cloud Golden Flame Lightning and the Soul-Shattering Yin Lightning, the demonic tree in front of them began to show obvious signs of death and injury.

With a deafening roar, the two demonic trees, each dozens of people could barely encircle, were shattered into pieces amidst the raging lightning.

The Ancient Demon Emperor's expression darkened. It wasn't that he was heartbroken by the loss of the Demon Trees. These Demon Skull Oaks were indeed powerful, but they weren't strong enough to stop a Heavenly Dragon Realm expert.

However, the other party did not personally take action. He simply controlled the endless lightning power to break through these demonic oak trees. From Lu Xiaotian's changes, the Ancient Demon Emperor could see that the other party's control over the main body of the lightning sea was indeed not comprehensive enough. However, for a guy who had only cultivated the origin of lightning techniques to have such a performance was already beyond his expectations.

The beginning is always the hardest. After the first two Demon Skull Oaks are broken, if no other variables occur, then just concentrate the corresponding lightning power and follow the same pattern.

A massive barrage of blazing golden flames and devastating yin lightning crisscrossed the area, blasting these towering demonic trees into dust one after another.

"Oak Demon Warriors!" The Ancient Demon Emperor's attack was not limited to this. With a wave of his sleeve, black and red demonic mist spewed from the mouths of the skulls on the demonic trees, weaving together. While it could not block the lightning attack for long, it was enough to buy some time.

In the blink of an eye, countless oak demon warriors fell from the tree and coalesced into an array. These warriors were somewhat similar to puppets, fearless in the face of death, yet different in that the oak demon warriors had the demon tree as their core, and the patterns on their bodies formed a parent-child array with the demon tree, which could disperse enemy attacks.

The demonic terracotta warriors were divided into different levels, appearing very organized. When the black and red demonic mist, including the raging golden flame lightning that had previously destroyed the demonic tree, passed through, most of it was blocked by the oak demonic warriors wielding their battle halberds. A small amount of lightning poured into it, but it could not cause enough damage to these oak demonic warriors.

Lu Xiaotian frowned slightly, only then realizing how troublesome the opponent was: the Oak Demon Warrior was closely connected to the Demon Tree and could retract into the Demon Tree at any time.

To destroy both the war terracotta warriors and the demonic tree simultaneously, he must switch between different types of lightning power, maintaining a powerful attack while also being fast enough. This undoubtedly places higher demands on his control over lightning power.

While resisting, the Ancient Demon Emperor continued to probe him in various ways, wanting to see the extent of his control over the Thunder Sea in order to decide on his next move.

If they could truly control this sea of ​​lightning completely, making it as easy as their own limbs, the Ancient Demon Emperor would have no choice but to retreat. Faced with such a natural disaster, those Demon Lord-level monsters were more than capable of protecting themselves; it was unrealistic for them to lend a hand and threaten Lu Xiaotian in this environment. Without the assistance of these outsiders, the Ancient Demon Emperor did not believe he had the ability to kill them.

He couldn't do it even when he was at his peak, let alone now that Lu Xiaotian's strength has improved and the power of the Boundless Demon Blade within him has diminished.

With one side gaining at the expense of the other, the chances of winning would only be smaller if a real fight broke out. The Ancient Demon Emperor's eyes were cold, and he was not in a hurry to take action himself, but his heart was far from being as calm as he appeared on the surface.

Unless he can completely eliminate Lu Xiaotian, a formidable enemy, in this battle, even if he manages to escape, his prestige will inevitably be severely damaged. He hadn't anticipated that the opponent's plan to guide Lei Hai would be so passive; this was now the best situation he could hope for.

While Lu Xiaotian was controlling the lightning power to attack the entrance of the Demon Map with all his might, on the other side, many Demon Lord-level powerhouses were also leading their troops to fiercely attack the restrictions of the Six Extreme Dragon Palace.

The opposing side only had one Dragon Lord-level expert in charge, while their side held an absolute advantage among experts of the same level. The demon army surrounding the Heaven-Stealing Myriad Demon Map was composed entirely of elites, and their combat strength was not much inferior to that of the opposing dragon race.

As long as they can break through the enemy's restrictions and engage in fierce combat with the dragon army, even if the Dragon Domain Lord can break through the Demon Emperor's obstruction, he will be hesitant to attack and will not annihilate them along with the dragons.

They might even be able to reap some benefits in the end. The demon army's attack became even more fierce, mainly due to the pressure of the situation. Even the Golden-Bearded Toad Ancestor was no longer so confident in the Ancient Demon Emperor.

It's true that the Demon Emperor is incredibly powerful, but the Lord of the Dragon Realm is no pushover either. Having failed to subdue him last time, the Demon Emperor returned and intensified his purge of the dragon race, seemingly somewhat enraged. This time, he was even outmaneuvered by Lu Xiaotian.

Although the Ancient Demon Emperor remained calm in the face of danger and managed to achieve a relatively acceptable situation, the heavy losses suffered by the demon army were still unavoidable. They were not yet completely out of danger, and everything remained uncertain.

Prestige is built upon strength and success. A series of defeats caused even the old monsters like the Golden-Bearded Toad Ancestor to lose all confidence in the Ancient Demon Emperor.

The Demon Emperor is no longer reliable, so they naturally have to find their own way to survive, or take as many personal guards as possible with them. These matters concern their future status in the Demon Realm, and they cannot be abandoned lightly unless absolutely necessary.

"Soaring Dragon Crossbow Formation!" Yue Hanyun pressed down with his right hand, and tens of thousands of dragons behind him wielded giant crossbows, each nocked with dragon bone arrows. Before the arrows were even fired, a sharp and heavy killing aura surged forth. These dragon bone arrows were made from the bones left behind by dragons who had fallen throughout history, and their destructive power was astonishing. The dragons in the Six Extremes Dragon Palace had once been extremely averse to this method.

The remaining bones can all be considered ancestors. If they cannot protect the spirits of their ancestors, but instead desecrate their remains, they will resist this law from the bottom of their hearts.

However, the crisis of the dragon race's survival always loomed over them. Under the strict demands of their predecessors, the Six Extremes Dragon Palace, under pressure to survive, ultimately chose to forge these dragon bone arrows.

This arrow, used by the dragons, is particularly lethal.

Several volleys of arrows rained down, the roars of dragons blending into one. The crossbow bolts hadn't even arrived yet, but they had already gained the upper hand, overwhelming the attacking demonic toads and crocodiles with their momentum.

The two demon monsters who were charging ahead, fearing the intense attack, retreated slightly at the first opportunity, leaving the demon toads and crocodiles exposed behind them with dead and wounded.

The three Nascent Soul and Demon Body Realm experts were not as quick as the two old monsters, Golden Bearded Toad Ancestor, and were slightly slower, so they were hit by a dense barrage of dragon bone arrows.

Despite their best efforts to defend, under the Dragon Flying Crossbow Formation, their powerful defensive abilities and magical armor were repeatedly broken by the Dragon Bone Arrows carrying the killing aura of the battle formation. Before long, they were riddled with arrows and fell unwillingly from the sky.

Before long, a large blank area was cleared out in front of the Dragon Palace's restrictions.

The demons behind them showed expressions of fear. The dragon bone arrows were fired through the crossbow formation, carrying the momentum of a battle formation, and their power was far beyond expectations.

Only dragons could unleash the power of these dragon bone arrows to such an extent. Even a Demon Lord-level monster would retreat in fear; how could low-level demons possibly withstand them?

"These dragon bone arrows are incredibly sharp, but their forging was no easy feat. The enemy's crossbow formation won't be able to fire them many times." The Golden-Bearded Toad Ancestor waved his hand, ordering the demon toad army to attack again. Seeing that the dragons were taking advantage of this opening to quickly repair the restrictions, the old demon naturally couldn't give them a chance to breathe.

The various demon armies attacked in an organized and sequential manner, and the previous void was quickly filled.

The attacks of the demon elites became sharper once again, causing great damage to the restrictions. There was no fortress that could not be breached. Waves of demonic flames, venom, and flashing swords came rushing towards them, and the pressure on the dragons continued to rise.

However, Yue Yunhan, Yue Zhongli and other members of the Dragon Clan remained completely calm. Thunder rumbled outside the entire Thief of Heaven Demons Map, and the attacks they endured were still powerful. However, the Demon Emperor was held back by the Heavenly Dragon powerhouse who suddenly appeared.

They had no idea where that Heavenly Dragon had come from. In the past, advancing to the rank of Dragon Lord was extremely difficult, let alone becoming a supreme expert in the Heavenly Dragon Realm.

The fact that the Six Extremes Dragon Palace has been able to survive in the Immortal Realm to this day and reach its current scale is largely due to the fact that the Heaven-Stealing Myriad Demon Map solved their hiding place problem. However, the reason they have not been exposed for so many years is mainly because of their caution. They have basically been in a closed state and have little contact with the outside world.

They don't even fully understand what's happening in the Desolate Sea, let alone the areas outside it. The reason they took in some of the fleeing dragons is that the disasters suffered by the dragons in the Desolate Sea were too severe, and they felt very sorry to see their fellow clansmen outside perish.

Lu Xiaotian's Heavenly Dragon is a recent phenomenon, so it's normal that the Dragon Palace is unaware of it.

However, the fact that the other party was able to unleash endless lightning to break through the demon army outside and hold back the Ancient Demon Emperor has exceeded the expectations of Yue Yunhan, Yue Zhongli and other dragons.

Now, relying on the restrictions to defend, no matter how fierce the demons' attacks are, it's just a battle. It's much better than being trapped in a desperate situation before; at least they can still see a glimmer of hope for survival.

There are still over two million dragons in the Dragon Palace. Although the number of elite demons is greater than theirs, this is, after all, the Six Extremes Dragon Palace. Fighting the enemy in their own lair, what is there to fear?

While the dragons were filled with fighting spirit, the Lord of the Six Extremes Palace vaguely sensed something was amiss.

Previously, he still had some control over the thieves in the Myriad Demon Map because Lu Xiaotian could easily contact him, but now a demon army several times their size is blocking their way, and a considerable portion of them are Demon Lord-level personal guards who have infiltrated the Demon Map.

The Ancient Demon Emperor already had absolute control over the Demon Map, and Lu Xiaotian and the Dragon Palace were essentially separated. He wasn't worried about the Dragon Palace's losses; the enemy had a numerical advantage, and no matter how fierce their attacks, they could hold their ground and resist step by step. Even if they couldn't win, they could hold out for a considerable time.

On the contrary, the five Demon Lord-level experts, including the Golden-Bearded Toad Ancestor, can easily withdraw from this great battle. However, if Lu Xiaotian, a Heavenly Dragon Realm expert, were to enter the Stealing Heaven Myriad Demon Map, he would likely be besieged by the Demon Emperor and several old Demon Lord monsters. Perhaps that would be the most dangerous situation!
The thought of this possibility filled the Lord of the Six Extremes Palace with intense unease. In his view, the Six Extremes Dragon Palace could be lost, but the Heavenly Dragon was too precious; it was the hope of the entire Dragon Clan.

After the decline of the dragon race, over countless years, some have managed to transform into dragons. In the corners of the realms, some dragons still remain, but perhaps only this one has ascended to the celestial dragon realm. The dragon race cannot afford such a loss!
However, the Heavenly Demon Map has now been occupied by the demons, so he couldn't warn Lu Xiaotian that there might be a trap.

As the Lord of the Six Extremes Palace grew worried, a series of explosions, far exceeding those before, erupted, and the rolling power of thunder could still be faintly sensed.

Lu Xiaotian did not rush into the Demon Map, but controlled the sea of ​​lightning to surge like a tide against the Oak Demon Warriors and the Demon Trees.

The Ancient Demon Emperor's defense was indeed quite troublesome. The war terracotta warriors and the demonic tree could cooperate with each other, and even after Lu Xiaotian changed many lightning powers, he still could not break through it. However, in the process of repeated probing, he did find a flaw in the opponent's defense.

In the final attack, the Great Five Elements Dragon-Evolving Divine Needle pierced through the Oak Demon Warrior in an instant, weaving among the many Demon Skull Nether Oaks, and cutting into the core area's most important dozens of demon trees. After a flurry of flying needles, it broke into the demon trees and shuttled through them. It seemed that it could not cause much damage to the demon trees, but the towering giant trees visibly withered.

"Damn it!" The Ancient Demon Emperor was furious. The opponent's flying needles were infused with lightning-based laws, and numerous lightning bolts repeatedly clashed with the terracotta warriors. Under the impact of the demonic tree, after numerous tests, the flying needles were hidden within to conceal their movements, launching a surprise attack unexpectedly. The Ancient Demon Emperor indeed had no time to stop them. (End of Chapter)
