My understanding is incredible: I gained enlightenment and immortality in the Kunlun Demon Kingdom

The chilling demon strode toward the afterimage, its entire body seemingly transforming into a gust of cold wind.

He stretched out his palm, a ball of cold air gathering in it, and then struck the afterimage with a fierce blow.

The chill, like a sharp ice blade, roared as it sliced ​​through the air.

A hint of surprise flashed in the afterimage's eyes, but it was quickly concealed.

He suddenly waved his hand, and a dark shadow flashed out, colliding with the cold air.

The two forces clashed instantly, and the air seemed to freeze.

"Not bad, you have some strength," the Cold Demon laughed.

“You’re not bad either,” the afterimage replied, but there was no emotion in its voice.

Chen Ze stood aside, clutching the Five-Colored Pagoda tightly in his hand. He observed the battle between the two, but remained highly vigilant.

He knew that the battle was only a temporary balance, and that the situation would immediately tilt once one side lost control.

Meanwhile, Tian Siyao was also observing nervously from a short distance away.

The jade sword in her hand emitted a faint green light, as if it were ready to join the battle at any moment.

The battle between the chilling demon and the afterimage intensified.

The ethereal demon waved its hands, forming a wall of ice in an attempt to trap the afterimage.

But the afterimage blurred and transformed into several black shadows, easily passing through the wall of ice.

"Hmph, such petty tricks won't work." The Cold Demon sneered.

"And what about you? What else can you do?" The voice of the afterimage suddenly rang in the ear of the cold demon.

Their eyes met in mid-air, sparking like lightning.

The situation became more complex and delicate, and everyone understood that what followed might be the key move that would determine the outcome.

The chilling demon instantly focused, knowing he could no longer hesitate.

In that fleeting moment, he gathered all his strength, forming a giant ice ball in his palm, and hurled it at the afterimage with all his might.

A chill and tension filled the air; everyone held their breath, awaiting the impending decisive battle.

The ethereal demon transformed, growing several times its original size. Its icy gaze swept across its surroundings, but it failed to notice the afterimage behind it gathering a mass of dark energy.

In the instant that the gloomy demon was so arrogant that it almost forgot to defend itself, a blur streaked past like a meteor, striking it hard with the power of resentment.

The immense impact caused the Cold Demon to roar in agony, its entire body trembling uncontrollably.

Chen Ze frowned and used the Yin-Yang Mirror in his hand to observe the situation on the field.

He saw an indescribable energy flickering in the afterimage's palm, like fire from the abyss, so black it devoured all light.

This made Chen Ze feel uneasy.

"What kind of energy is this? Even the Yin-Yang Mirror can't analyze it," Chen Ze muttered to himself.

Tian Siyao walked over from the side, holding a jade sword. The emerald light on the sword echoed the radiance of the Yin-Yang Mirror in Chen Ze's hand.

"So, did you find anything?" she asked nervously.

Chen Ze glanced at Tian Siyao, his eyes revealing a hint of heaviness. "I don't know either, but I can sense that this power is definitely not simple." The situation on the field continued to develop, and the afterimage no longer gave the Netherworld Demon a chance to breathe, forming a black vortex of resentment power gathered in its hand, which rushed directly towards the Netherworld Demon.

Upon seeing this, a flicker of fear flashed in the eyes of the Ghostly Demon.

Tian Siyao couldn't help but ask, "What should we do now?"

Chen Ze took a deep breath, and the Yin-Yang Mirror in his hand began to emit a dazzling light, obscuring him and Tian Siyao.

"I think we need more information before we can make a judgment."

"But in any case, we cannot allow this unknown energy to run rampant." After saying that, Chen Ze flicked his finger, and the Flame Demon from the Five-Colored Tower appeared beside him.

The Flame Demon glanced at the vortex of resentment and said expressionlessly, "Master, this power even makes me uneasy."

Chen Ze nodded. "Stay vigilant. We don't know what the consequences of this force will be."

The tense situation on the field was like a volcano about to erupt, full of unpredictable variables.

At this critical moment, every decision could affect the course of the entire battle.

However, Chen Ze and Tian Siyao, along with their magical artifacts and companions, were prepared to deal with all sorts of situations.

However, what will happen next remains to be seen.

Chen Ze gripped the colorful pagoda tightly, his fingers gliding lightly across its surface, as if playing a dramatic melody.

The air seemed to freeze, and the surrounding scenery—the ancient trees that looked like they were about to be burned to ashes and the smoke of gunpowder nearby—became blurred. Only his connection with the Flame Demon became clearer and clearer.

"Show yourself, Flame Demon!" As Chen Ze chanted the incantation, the Five-Colored Tower released a dazzling light, as if it were about to tear the darkness apart.

With a deep roar, the Flame Demon leaped out as if from the depths of hell, its entire body engulfed in flames that seemed even hotter than the sun.

At the same time, the afterimage was not to be outdone, appearing out of thin air as if it had been formed from nothingness.

"Since you have summoned me, this battle is unavoidable." The Flame Demon's voice seemed to come from a sea of ​​fire, each word carrying an irresistible power.

“That’s right, this is a real emergency, and I need your strength.” Chen Ze’s eyes were firm as he watched the Flame Demon and the afterimage prepare to fight. He knew that this battle was related to a greater destiny.

The Flame Demon and the Afterimage finally moved, rushing towards each other at an astonishing speed like two shooting stars.

The air was compressed instantly, like a burning stream of air drawing beautiful yet dangerous arcs behind them.

The Flame Demon swung its flaming whip, its afterimage transforming into several dark sword energies. The two attacks collided in mid-air, instantly creating a visual and sensory feast.

Fire and darkness intertwined in the air, like a war between angels and demons, beautiful yet cruel.

Chen Ze stood at a distance, gripping the Five-Colored Pagoda tightly. He could feel the energy inside the pagoda fluctuating intensely, as if responding to the Flame Demon's battle.

"Can you tell how much power there is between me and the afterimage?" Flame Demon suddenly asked through telepathy.

"It's hard to say, but I believe in you," Chen Ze replied earnestly, knowing that the Flame Demon had never let him down.

"Then let's end this battle together." The Flame Demon's voice revealed a resolute determination, and then the flames all over its body suddenly burned even more fiercely.

The afterimage seemed to sense the threat and quickened its pace of attack, but no matter what, it could not escape the pursuit of the Flame Demon.

The Flame Demon's figure was as hot as flames, and the high temperature emanating from its body distorted the surrounding air.

A surge of intense energy erupted from its body, forming a ring of flames around the afterimage. (End of Chapter)
