Become a fairy alone

Before Lu Xiaotian could even use any means to deal with it, a blood river, a mixture of water and fire, surged forth from the void.

The blood inside was mixed with the blood flames of the extreme demon, which was the great divine power of the Desolate Boundary River that the Ancient Demon Emperor had used when he fought with Lu Xiaotian.

At this moment, the river water inside has undergone earth-shattering changes. The blood water and the extreme demonic blood flame water have merged into one, greatly increasing its power. The entire Desolate Boundary River is not isolated. The demonic river flows out from within the great formation, and the blood evil aura accumulated in the source is endless.

The Boundary River and the Moon Shadow Wilderness complement each other perfectly. The Demon Emperor is at his strongest in the Moon Shadow Wilderness. If Lu Xiaotian hadn't suffered repeated injuries before, his strength would have continuously improved, and he really wouldn't have been able to defeat him here.

However, there is no such thing as "what if" in this world. What has already happened has become a fait accompli. If time could really be reversed, the Ancient Demon Emperor would probably have withdrawn the demon army from the Desolate Sea immediately to avoid a head-on confrontation with Lu Xiaotian.

This outburst was nothing more than a desperate battle where he had given his all. As a demon emperor, he had no desire to easily step down from the throne. The higher one climbs, the colder it gets; once he fell, everyone would turn against him, and it would be no different from death.
This battle demands sacrificing everything; it's all or nothing. With the emergence of the Desolate Boundary River, all the bloodthirsty energy accumulated within the entire crimson array was mobilized.

The atmosphere around them was heavier than ever before, forcing the Moon Palace Master, along with Qing Li and Cao Xi'er, to retreat continuously in order to dissipate the terrifying pressure brought by the Desolate Boundary River.

Looking at the blurry figure in the blood, a deep-seated fear involuntarily surfaced in the eyes of the Moon Sky Palace Master. The residual power accumulated by the opponent over countless years was still there, and the person the Moon Sky Palace Master least wanted to face now was the Ancient Demon Emperor.

"Step back a bit further. You're not fit to watch the upcoming battle." Lu Xiaotian raised his hand, and a burst of starlight blocked the opponent's incessant demonic power.

He was unwilling to enter the enemy's grand formation to fight, something the Ancient Demon Emperor had anticipated. He had almost perfectly solved this problem by utilizing the complementary strengths of the Desolate Boundary River and the Moon Shadow Wilderness. With the entire grand formation expanding in this manner, if the Moon Sky Palace Master and the others remained, their lives would be in imminent danger.

The power of this method to modify the formation is naturally not as great as before, which is the basis for both sides to go all out.

Both sides wanted to kill each other, and their suicide moves were clearly visible. At this point, both sides needed to make some compromises. Overall, Lu Xiaotian was at a disadvantage, since this was the other side's territory.

An eagle soared under the moon, traversing the desolate forest. The vast and majestic atmosphere of the Demon Realm swept over them, and Lu Xiaotian was also amazed by the magnificent scene before him.

Once the Moon Palace Master and the others had retreated far away, Lu Xiaotian reached out and summoned five Sky Heaven Cauldrons, whose mysterious spatial fluctuations rippled outwards.

The opponent's restriction came along the Desolate Boundary River. The Ancient Demon Emperor used this method to redistribute the power of the restriction around him. Although its power was slightly weakened compared to the previous great formation, Lu Xiaotian absolutely could not watch the opponent act recklessly.

Within the other party's territory, if Lu Xiaotian wanted to avoid having his strength too constrained by the Desolate Boundary River and the Moon Shadow Wilderness, the only thing he could rely on was the Sky Heaven Cauldron.

The Starry Buddhist Domain was no longer enough to contend with the raging Desolate Boundary River. However, with the Five Cauldrons moving into the battlefield, the rampant spread of the Moon Shadow Wilderness was somewhat restricted.

Lu Xiaotian's divine sense stirred slightly, and the Great Five Elements Dragon-Evolving Divine Needle hung in the void, with five lightning pillars striking down, and rolling thunder poured into the blood river.

The bloodthirsty aura within the Desolate Boundary River was so intense that almost all the blood essence of the Demon Emperor's nearly eight million troops was drained away. Apart from a portion absorbed by the Ancient Demon Emperor himself, the rest flowed into the Demon River. This essence blood was not only astonishing in quantity but also contained imperial-level personal guards like the Desolate Gu Demon Guards, making its purity unprecedented.

If the Great Five Elements Dragon-Evolving Divine Needles could guide the sea of ​​lightning in the desolate sea, then there would be no fear of the opponent. At this moment, he could only use a strategy of using minimal force to deflect maximum force. Relying on his absolute advantage in primordial spirit, Lu Xiaotian controlled the five flying needles to continuously drop pillars of lightning, accurately striking the hidden restrictions in the blood river. He struck and left without delay.

This fighting style greatly annoyed the Ancient Demon Emperor. Since he could not distribute the power of the great formation in smaller parts throughout the entire Moon Shadow Wilderness, he could not suppress Lu Xiaotian from a general perspective. Naturally, this battle had a lot of uncontrollable unknowns.

"You want to trap me here? You'd better think about whether you have any other way out. If you don't want to continue running away and living a life of ignominy, come out and fight me now, or you might have a chance."

Lu Xiaotian's silver hair fluttered as he gently lifted his palms. The remaining stars in the void meandered and formed a giant celestial dragon, roaring towards the crescent moon above. With its mouth wide open, the gathered starlight transformed into dragon breath and surged forth, distorting space wherever it passed and annihilating all the free-floating laws.

Under the waning moon's light, its crimson radiance was swallowed up by swathes of starlight, as if the giant dragon were about to devour the waning moon whole. With a cry, the crimson giant eagle broke through some of the celestial obstruction and flew swiftly towards Lu Xiaotian's true form.

Lu Xiaotian ignored the giant eagles. His five flying needles destroyed a large number of restrictions in the Blood River. It was not necessary to completely destroy them. As long as there were loopholes in the opponent's restrictions, it would be enough for Lu Xiaotian's formation.

The Great Five Elements Dragon-Evolving Divine Needle, carrying endless lightning, engaged in fierce battle with these blood eagles.

Lu Xiaotian didn't wait passively any longer. This old demon had become too cautious after suffering repeated losses, and it was only because the other party had no way out that he had to be careful again and again.

Directly attacking the opponent is not advisable and will be counterproductive. To force the opponent to reveal themselves, you must first attack from the outside.

"As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, twice shy. I never thought that you, as the Demon Emperor, would be like this. Fine, if you don't show yourself, I will cut down your crescent moon first."

Lu Xiaotian took a step forward and appeared near the crimson waning moon in the next instant.

At this moment, the crimson waning moon was clashing with the celestial dragon, beams of moonlight like crimson blades blocking its path. Lu Xiaotian flew above the crimson moon and struck down with his palm.

Nirvana Dragon Seal! Another dragon roared, its body surrounded by Nirvana Holy Flame, transforming into a giant seal that joined forces with the celestial dragon to attack the crescent moon.

With a whoosh, the crimson moonlight spread outwards like a veil. In the blink of an eye, the blood moon, which was clearly visible just moments before, gradually became blurred.

A pair of fierce and cunning eyes glanced this way from the Desolate Boundary River. The restrictions in the Blood Moon were no less than those on the Desolate Boundary River.

However, the restrictions within the crescent moon are primarily for confinement and lack sufficiently powerful offensive methods, which is why they are easily overlooked. Lu Xiaotian's proactive approach to the blood moon presents him with a good opportunity; with both sides testing each other from a distance, it's anyone's guess how long the battle will last.

"Moon Conceals the Eight Desolations!" With a low shout from the Ancient Demon Emperor, a desolate wilderness appeared behind the crimson crescent moon. Rolling mountains, rushing blood rivers—the ancient, savage aura unfolded like a scroll. The crimson crescent moon, which had just been under attack, seemed to have retreated into another savage world. The attacks of the Nirvana Dragon Seal and the Star Dragon struck empty air. Moreover, this independent, savage little world suddenly emitted a tremendous suction force, causing the scroll to continue unfolding outwards. It attempted to isolate Lu Xiaotian from the starry sky, hoping to defeat him piecemeal.

Lu Xiaotian, realizing what was happening, secretly praised the other party's skillful methods. It seemed that the Ancient Demon Emperor had truly gone to great lengths to deal with him over the years. If he had encountered this guy shortly after his advancement, he would most likely have fallen into his trap.

Lu Xiaotian's lips curled slightly. The methods of the Ancient Demon Emperor might be effective for others, but they were less effective for him. The reason was that the Demon Emperor had forcibly refined too much demon blood, which was too mixed and could not eliminate all the abnormalities in a short time.

Lu Xiaotian's mastery of bloodline laws is unimaginable to others. Advancing to the Heavenly Dragon realm with the True Dragon bloodline is far more difficult than other imperial positions. The sheer number of bloodline mysteries he cultivates is astonishing.

In terms of cultivation in other laws, Lu Xiaotian wouldn't dare claim to be number one. His depth of cultivation in laws like space, metal, and wood is even surpassed by some Immortal Lords and Demon Lords. However, in the blood law, Lu Xiaotian doesn't believe anyone in these realms can rival him.

Even though the crimson waning moon was well hidden in this wild and desolate world, the blood energy within it that had not been fully refined was still a guiding light for Lu Xiaotian.

Roar! After failing to break through, the celestial dragon and the Nirvana Dragon Seal surged forward, heading straight for the crimson crescent moon.

The Ancient Demon Emperor was greatly alarmed, never expecting that his carefully laid trap would be completely ineffective.

The original intention was to use the crescent moon as a pretext to create a predicament that would isolate Lu Xiaotian from the Five Heavenly Cauldrons and the Starry Buddhist Domain. Unexpectedly, this all turned into a joke, and the crimson crescent moon ended up in a difficult situation.

Roar! The dragon breath spewed by the celestial dragon struck the barrier surrounding the crimson crescent moon. Taking advantage of the gap in the barrier being broken, the Nirvana Dragon Seal seized the opportunity and appeared near the crescent moon in the next instant. The Nirvana Dragon Seal transformed into a giant hand and grabbed the crescent moon.

The crimson crescent moon, naturally unwilling to be controlled, unleashed its crimson light and raging demonic flames, attempting to break free from the seal's grasp. However, the Nirvana Holy Flame and the interwoven Buddhist light within the giant hand refused to yield an inch.

With the waning moon restrained, the entire Moonshadow Wasteland Forest became unstable, and many tree shadows began to dissipate amidst the tremors. The flowing Desolate Boundary River still possessed its power, but it appeared abrupt.

"How can you see the location of the crescent moon at a glance? With your expertise in formations, you could never possibly surpass me!" The Ancient Demon Emperor roared in resentment.

At this point, he could no longer hide. He flew up from the Desolate River and reached out to grab a powerful, extremely strange blood-red longsword from the surging blood river, slashing towards Lu Xiaotian.

Beneath the blade, the aura of blood was thick, and demons roared. At this moment, Lu Xiaotian was no longer facing a demon emperor, but rather the elite troops of nearly eight million under his command. This slash unleashed not only the light of the blade, but also the might of the Huanghuang army formation.

The power of this strike was enough to make Lu Xiaotian take notice; even with his current cultivation level, he couldn't easily break through it.

However, sometimes an enemy's attack doesn't necessarily have to be blocked head-on. At this moment, although the Ancient Demon Emperor's sword strike was fierce, it had lost its seamless unity with the Moon Shadow Wilderness. This was what angered the Ancient Demon Emperor the most.

"This is probably the last resort you'll have." Lu Xiaotian had been waiting for a long time. He reached out and summoned a three-foot flying sword, then slashed down into the air.

Before their swords even clashed, their respective magical realms collided like colossal objects. The Moonlit Wilderness and the Starry Buddhist Domain twisted and shattered in the violent impact. Behind Lu Xiaotian, the Azure Dragon Void swiftly emerged, roaring with the Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds!

Roar! An overwhelming pressure that made people tremble swept over, and the Ancient Demon Emperor looked at the scene in fear. The Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds, wrapped in dragon breath, annihilated the large number of demonic souls in the blood energy in its path. Under such a terrifying impact, there was little resistance.

Blood and starlight mingled as swords clashed.

The crescent moon failed to disappear into the eight wastelands, and Lu Xiaotian broke through many of the restrictions here in one fell swoop. However, the Ancient Demon Emperor could still rely on some remaining restrictions. In an instant, the Ancient Demon Emperor's figure had moved tens of thousands of times, attacking from different angles.

Lu Xiaotian's Dragon Soul Flying Sword also clashed frequently with the opponent's Blood Demon Blade, producing sharp and deep sounds incessantly.

Cao Xier anxiously watched the blood-red sky in the distance, where starlight intertwined like chaos, and she could no longer see what was happening inside.

"Don't think too much. I think my master was confident that he would dare to come to the Demon Realm alone. If the Ancient Demon Emperor could really defeat my master, he wouldn't need to hide here like a coward."

My master is incredibly cunning and shrewd. Whenever he makes a move, I've never seen anyone escape his grasp.

Qing Li pursed her lips. She had even more confidence in Lu Xiaotian, mainly because he had saved her several times. Back when she was in trouble in the lower realm, Lu Xiaotian had decisively defeated his opponents and even personally searched for their lair. How similar it was to the current situation.

"Could Senior have seen the specific situation inside?" Cao Xi'er naturally believed in Lu Xiaotian's strength, but she couldn't help feeling a little worried. She could only look at the Moon Sky Palace Master.

"We are unworthy of such address from you two," the Moon Palace Master quickly said, bowing.

Cao Xier and Qing Li directly addressed Lu Xiaotian as their senior, which seemed to indicate a very close relationship. If he were to accept this title, how would he conduct himself in front of Lu Xiaotian later?
"Right now, the Dragon Lord and the Ancient Demon Emperor are locked in fierce battle, and the laws of the entire Moonshadow Wilderness are in chaos. I can't see what's going on inside." The Moon Sky Palace Master shook his head and looked at the blurry Moonshadow Wilderness and the Starry Buddha Domain, which were in complete disarray.

Two figures could be vaguely seen battling above the blood moon, their swordplay imbued with boundless mysteries of law and unparalleled power. At times, demons roared, and at other times, the shadow of a dragon pressed down on the waning moon.

The Demon Emperor of Yaoqing and the Asura Emperor gazed at the Moon Shadow Wilderness from afar. Given the chance, they would not hesitate to strike. However, both Lu Xiaotian and the Ancient Demon Emperor were on guard against them. In fact, both of them were wary and would not easily intervene without a sure-fire opportunity.

The Ancient Demon Emperor had served as a cautionary tale; the power he unleashed upon retreating into the Moonshadow Wilderness was enough to make the two Demon Emperors extremely wary. Yet, Lu Xiaotian single-handedly entered this place, forcing the Ancient Demon Emperor into a desperate situation. (End of Chapter)
