Become a fairy alone

As swords and blades clashed, mountains rose and fell, trees withered and flourished, lightning flashed, and space trembled.

"Boundless Desolate Soul!" As the battle raged on, the combined forces of the two sides' magical realms spread to every corner of the great formation amidst the intense tug-of-war. Once the Boundless Demon Blade was unleashed, it could not be withdrawn without drawing blood; otherwise, the price would be his fall from the throne.

Knowing that his primordial spirit was inferior to Lu Xiaotian's, and even significantly weaker, the Ancient Demon Emperor would never normally engage in a one-sided primordial spirit battle with him. However, the overwhelming demonic energy and sharpness of the Boundless Demon Blade had merged into his primordial spirit, making it more formidable than ever before. His confidence surged, and the Ancient Demon Emperor felt he could try a head-on confrontation with Lu Xiaotian.

The immense psychological pressure exerted by the demonic soul was terrifying, and Lu Xiaotian countered by sending out a dragon soul to fight it off.

The two souls clashed fiercely, or used the mountains, rivers, dense forests, and distorted space formed by the laws of nature to conceal themselves and launch surprise attacks. Their fighting styles were diverse and ever-changing. In order to disrupt the opponent's judgment, both the demon soul and the dragon soul distributed a large amount of their divine sense to constantly probe the enemy.

This kind of battle of the primordial spirit may not seem as intense as other places, but it is no less dangerous. If one is not careful, the enemy may take advantage of one's weakness. Being injured is a minor matter. If the enemy succeeds, the enemy's primordial spirit can directly invade one's body.

The Ancient Demon Emperor grew increasingly alarmed as the battle progressed. Having experienced previous clashes, he knew his primordial spirit was inferior to Lu Xiaotian's, but he hadn't expected the gap to be so vast. Even after merging with the intent of the Boundless Demon Blade, he still couldn't gain the slightest advantage in this clash of primordial spirits.

Lu Xiaotian's Twelve Demon-Slaying Sword Formation appeared even more astonishing under the chaotic lightning. With the Dragon Soul Flying Sword in his hand and various unpredictable hand seals, he repeatedly blocked the attacks of the Boundless Demon Blade.

Fortunately, the Dragon Soul Flying Sword was still inferior to the Boundless Demon Blade. Even with the help of the Sumeru Twelve Demon-Slaying Sword Formation, and with Lu Xiaotian taking an immense risk by using his physical body to absorb the remaining power of the Boundless Demon Blade, the Dragon Soul Flying Sword, which had been blocking the way and bearing the greatest pressure, began to dim and clearly showed signs of weakness.

A trickle of blood appeared at the corner of Lu Xiaotian's mouth, clearly indicating that even the Great Brahma Demon-Suppressing Dragon Seal, the Law-Breaking Panlong Hand, and many other amazing dragon combat techniques were not enough to withstand the residual power of the World-Suppressing Demon Blade, or perhaps Lu Xiaotian's cultivation level had not yet reached a level sufficient to contend with the demon blade.

Seeing Lu Xiaotian injured, the Ancient Demon Emperor, who had been somewhat uneasy, immediately felt relieved.

The battle between the two sides had become extremely fierce. Lu Xiaotian was unable to break through. He had been working hard to repair the Dragon-Slaying Vengeful Dark Moon Formation and other formations, but fighting Lu Xiaotian had consumed too much of his energy, greatly affecting the progress of repairing the formations. Fortunately, he had already seen signs of success.

With a hum, the demonic blade silently tore through space and slashed down, its power surging. After fighting for so long, the Ancient Demon Emperor had seen through some of Lu Xiaotian's weaknesses.

The power of the Sumeru Twelve Demon-Slaying Sword Formation is undeniable. After more than ten days of fierce fighting, Lu Xiaotian was already showing signs of fatigue. It was the perfect time to strike while the enemy was still weakened. How could the Ancient Demon Emperor miss such an opportunity?

The Demon Blade unleashed its power, and the fact that the Twelve Demon-Slaying Sword Formation of Sumeru had lasted this long was beyond the Demon Emperor's expectations. However, even the strongest sword formation has its limits. With the Ancient Demon Emperor's outburst, the sword formation was clearly unable to withstand the pressure and was beginning to falter. Lu Xiaotian had no choice but to withdraw his flying sword ahead of schedule.

Taking advantage of the momentum, the Boundless Demon Blade surged forward. While Lu Xiaotian's dragon body was indeed incredibly powerful, enough to rival countless realms, even the strongest dragon body and the most formidable protective abilities he cultivated were not omnipotent. If the sword formation, bearing the brunt of the pressure, couldn't hold, the consequences would be severe.

The demonic blade's chilling power had reached an unprecedented level in their third exchange. Seeing Lu Xiaotian retreat swiftly, the Ancient Demon Emperor pressed his advantage. Cracks echoed repeatedly as space itself seemed to cleave apart.

The Boundless Demon Blade charged forward madly, but the Ancient Demon Emperor's expression quickly froze. Five Void Heaven Cauldrons appeared around Lu Xiaotian at the same time, just like the Great Five Elements Dragon-Evolving Divine Needles before, taking turns to block the blade.

As the supreme spatial treasure of the four realms, the power of the Sky Heaven Cauldron goes without saying. After a series of clashes, the Beginningless Demon Blade was once again blocked!

"Damn it!" The Ancient Demon Emperor was furious, but a sudden sense of panic welled up inside him. He had already used all his methods and pushed the Boundless Demon Blade to its strongest state, yet he still couldn't defeat his enemy. Now, the Ancient Demon Emperor had no other choice but to test his endurance.

Lu Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief. As his mastery of spatial laws continued to improve, the Sky Emperor Cauldron came in handy at the crucial moment, helping him resolve the biggest crisis.

Lu Xiaotian ultimately underestimated his opponent, or rather, he underestimated the strength of the Ancient Demon Emperor in his all-out battle.

At this moment, the power of the demonic blade had already enveloped all the overlapping spaces around them. Lu Xiaotian originally planned to escape through the Spirit Void Plank Road, but he underestimated the impact of the fluctuations from the battle between the two on the surroundings. The two's magical realms had spread to the point of being omnipresent.

Even the Lingkong Plank Road cannot completely avoid the influence of the Dharma Realm; in this situation, the escape route has already been cut off.

If we cannot block the opponent's attack head-on, the consequences will be dire.

Fortunately, the biggest crisis has passed, and the Kongtianzi Ding withstood the greatest pressure during the crisis.

Using the five cauldrons together is limited by his insufficient mastery of spatial laws. For the time being, he can only control the Sky Heaven Cauldron for defense. It is not realistic to use it to directly attack the Ancient Demon Emperor. In fact, it is easy to expose a flaw and be taken advantage of by the enemy.

Only when the Dragon Soul Flying Sword returned to normal, using the Sumeru Twelve Demon-Slaying Sword Formation, could it confront the power of the Demon Blade head-on for a while. Unfortunately, the Dragon Soul Flying Sword could not sustain this conflict for long.

However, Lu Xiaotian was not discouraged. As long as he could hold them off, there was hope. At least the situation hadn't deteriorated too much. The Dragon Soul Flying Sword had undergone a transformation after the last tempering. Now that it was removed, it would only need to rest for a while to return to normal.
Not long after, it came in handy again. In the battle of the Six Extremes Dragon Palace, Lu Xiaotian cultivated a lightning-type Dao Seed by taking advantage of the favorable timing and location, which greatly improved his cultivation and enabled him to withstand the fierce attack of the Ancient Demon Emperor.

Having fought to this point, Lu Xiaotian's escape route is no longer secure. The Ancient Demon Emperor could leave at any time, but in order to retain his position as Demon Emperor, he has already fought with all his might. How could he be willing to accept defeat without fighting to the very last moment?

Once again thwarted, the Demon Emperor tried to calm himself down and continue his battle with Lu Xiaotian.

When the pressure on the Sky Heaven Cauldron became too great, and the Dragon Soul Flying Sword had rested enough, Lu Xiaotian switched places again, repeating this alternating process. The Ancient Demon Emperor was always on the offensive, but he could never break through Lu Xiaotian's defenses, occasionally inflicting minor injuries, which Lu Xiaotian's powerful dragon body could easily withstand.

This great battle has unknowingly lasted for nearly half a year. Both sides have exhausted all means, and the overall situation remains at a stalemate. Lu Xiaotian's eyes have become increasingly indifferent. For him, time is on his side, and as long as he can achieve a draw, he will have achieved half of his goal.

Clang! The Boundless Demon Blade struck the Sky Heaven Cauldron once more, the intense impact far exceeding that of before. Lu Xiaotian was secretly pleased, for the Boundless Demon Blade's sharpness in shattering everything silently had noticeably diminished.
This strike was the Ancient Demon Emperor's attack in his normal state, and both of them had suffered tremendous losses compared to before, their combat power no longer what it once was. However, the fading of the Boundless Demon Blade's intent caused the Ancient Demon Emperor to decline even more, undoubtedly breaking the previous balance.

Roar! The battle on the other side of the Heaven and Earth was the first to change, with a blood-blue dragon shadow crackling with lightning descending with a claw from above the troll phantom's head.

The troll phantom swung its palm, changing the previous evenly matched situation. Under this powerful claw, the towering troll phantom, which held the stars in its hand, was forced to bend over. The wildly surging vines on its body were constantly being annihilated by lightning or cut by the power of space.

The troll phantom struggled several times, and although it managed to repel the dragon claws, its situation became increasingly unfavorable. With a hiss, the sharp dragon claws struck its body, and for a moment, lightning and electricity restrained the strange demonic vines, which slithered onto the surface of the troll phantom's body.

The Ancient Demon Emperor panicked and immediately ended the conflict on the primordial spirit side, but the injury to the Heaven and Earth Direction also directly affected his main body, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

Lu Xiaotian reached out and the Dragon Soul Flying Sword disappeared into his hand like a stream of light. He swung the sword casually, no longer deliberately pointing it at the Ancient Demon Emperor. However, within the Dharma Realm, Lu Xiaotian could do whatever he wanted.

The twelve paths of Sumeru merged into one, transforming into a single sword light that cleaved through the mountains within the opponent's realm, split the demonic moon in the void with a single strike, and completely broke through an array before the next sword strike was already aimed at the Ancient Demon Emperor.

Clang! Swords clashed, and the Ancient Demon Emperor was forced back by the sword light. The five Void Heaven Cauldrons passed directly through the flawed formation the moment the Demon Moon was cut open.

The Ancient Demon Emperor's face darkened. This battle with Lu Xiaotian was the most difficult one he had faced since becoming the Demon Emperor. He had done everything in his power, yet he still had to taste the bitter fruit of defeat.

Despite his unwillingness to admit it and the difficulty in accepting it, the fact remains that Lu Xiaotian, who has cultivated two Great Laws and possesses the Five Heavenly Cauldrons, is no longer someone he can defeat alone.

A vortex suddenly appeared behind the Ancient Demon Emperor, and his majestic figure gradually shrank. After struggling to withstand several sword strikes from Lu Xiaotian, his body disappeared into the vortex.

Lu Xiaotian calmly swung his sword again into the vortex. A muffled groan came from inside. Without the control of the Ancient Demon Emperor, the space around the Dragon Slayer was still strange, but without the deliberate actions of a powerful figure like the Demon Emperor, it could no longer trap a powerful figure like Lu Xiaotian.

Having injured the Ancient Demon Emperor once again, Lu Xiaotian did not rush to pursue him. Instead, he closed his eyes slightly, leaned on his sword in this chaotic and bizarre space, and carefully reflected on the gains and losses of this battle.

Although the Ancient Demon Emperor escaped, Lu Xiaotian was not surprised at all. The Demon Emperor was more familiar with the space around the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine. He was just unable to defeat him, not that he was powerless to escape.

However, the Ancient Demon Emperor was repeatedly injured by the Dragon Soul Flying Sword, and the Law of Heaven and Earth was also invaded by the power of lightning. He then fled into the Demon Realm, and it will not be so easy to get rid of him completely.

He had to go through the Demon Realm eventually. Braving great dangers, he fought a fierce battle against the all-out Ancient Demon Emperor. In particular, after being thoroughly baptized by the Boundless Demon Blade, Lu Xiaotian not only improved his own cultivation, but also gained a more profound aura from many Buddhist sacred objects, the Great Five Elements Dragon-Evolving Divine Needle, and especially the Dragon Soul Flying Sword. In the end, it evolved into a state of detachment.

In contrast, the aura of the Boundless Demon Blade within the Ancient Demon Emperor's body had completely faded. Strictly speaking, the opponent was no longer recognized by the Boundless Demon Blade and could only be considered an Emperor-level expert, not a true Demon Emperor.

When other powerful beings in the Demon Realm regain the recognition of the Boundless Demon Blade, the artifact that guards the realm, the position of the Ancient Demon Emperor will eventually be completely replaced. Perhaps the best outcome the Ancient Demon Emperor could have foreseen is something like Zi Xu You Ying.

Having already destroyed the Boundless Demon Blade within his opponent's body, Lu Xiaotian naturally wouldn't easily let go of such a rich reward. Even if his opponent escaped to the Demon Realm, Lu Xiaotian wouldn't let this guy off easily.

After a brief moment of respite, Lu Xiaotian glanced into the depths of the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, where immense threats lurked, along with countless remnants of dragon souls. He had been battling the Ancient Demon Emperor for nearly a year, both sides giving their all.

The massive fluctuations tore through the surrounding space, allowing Lu Xiaotian to discover that the remnant soul of the turbid dragon still existed inside. However, the battle was raging, and Lu Xiaotian had no time to pay attention to these remnant souls.

The dragon souls inside have existed for so many years, so there's no need to rush. Let's wait until he solves the problem of the Ancient Demon Emperor.

This old demon suffered another defeat, and the illusory image of the Boundless Demon Blade within his body had completely faded away. If he didn't eliminate it now, when would he? As a newly promoted Heavenly Dragon Realm expert, Lu Xiaotian needed to slay the Demon Emperor to thoroughly solidify his foundation as a Supreme Heavenly Dragon.

The Heavenly Dragon cannot solve the Dragon Clan's survival crisis; what the Dragon Clan needs is the Supreme Heavenly Dragon!
Having made up his mind, Lu Xiaotian flashed away, following the trajectory of the Ancient Demon Emperor, and left the strange space near the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine. This was the most effortless way.

The Ancient Demon Emperor, who once joined forces with the Immortal Realm to fight the Dragon Clan, was quite familiar with the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine. He even managed to deploy powerful formations near the guillotine after prior planning. However, the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine was not yet fully awakened, and its opponent was not one of the Four Heavenly Emperors of the Immortal Realm. As one of the Immortal Realm's ultimate weapons, even the most generous Four Heavenly Emperors would never allow the Ancient Demon Emperor to lay a finger on the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine.

In this battle, the Ancient Demon Emperor has already maximized his advantage with the Dragon-Slaying Cleaver, and it is impossible for him to go any further.

Compared to the previous situation, going into battle was much easier. Just like when he was tracking the Ancient Demon Emperor, the other party tried his best to conceal his aura. After leaving the Dragon Slayer Space, Lu Xiaotian temporarily lost track of the other party's whereabouts.

However, the Ancient Demon Emperor's injuries this time were far more severe than those in the battle against the Six Extremes Dragon Palace, making it impossible for him to completely suppress them indefinitely. Lu Xiaotian followed the faint, persistent fluctuations as he proceeded. (End of Chapter)
