I proved immortality through the imperial examination.

Chapter 185 Innate Divine Power (He Luoming's Hidden Edge Alliance)

"Be careful."

The Core Formation demon whispered, "This scoundrel dares to be so arrogant; it must possess astonishing abilities."

Just as the lion-headed giant was about to agree, a sudden uproar erupted throughout the crowd.

Both the demon race and the human race were thrown into chaos.

This was all because Xue Xiang released the Dao Foundation Lotus.

Outsiders cannot recognize that it is a peerless Dao Foundation from the color of the lotus.

But as soon as the lotus appeared, Xue Xiang's Foundation Establishment cultivation level was clearly revealed.

The humans were all utterly shocked.

"This, this is good luck..."

"He, he's just too..."

"In any case, we owe Good Luck a battle with Foundation Establishment cultivation..."

"........."

Just now, everyone's cultivation level was announced, but Xue Xiang, as the person in charge, did not make an announcement.

But everyone had already tacitly accepted that he was a Core Formation cultivator.

After all, once a cultivator reaches the Foundation Establishment stage or above, their cultivation level can no longer be judged by their qi and blood.

However, Xue Xiang was outstanding in every way and a leader among his peers, so everyone had already accepted him as the strongest person in the area.

Especially Lao Qi, he was the most shocked.

He had personally heard Xue Xiang say that he was going to Wen Yuan Chaos Sea.

From Lao Qi's perspective, Xue Xiang wasn't at the Great Perfection of Core Formation, but at least he should be in the late stage.

But he never expected that this guy was just a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Looking at the light spots on the lotus, only two have been lit, indicating that it is still in the early stage of foundation building.

The demons were also stunned.

The Core Formation Demon King's face turned red with anger. He had thought that the person who had been arguing with him for so long was at least a Core Formation cultivator.

He also warned his subordinate, Huang Shier, to be careful.

It has now been confirmed that Xue Xiang was actually just a junior in the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

He could hardly tolerate such arrogance from something that was like a reptile.

After a brief moment of astonishment, the demons erupted in a cacophony of curses.

Huang Shi'er was so angry that he roared to the sky.

Xue Xiang said coldly, "Chattering away, who exactly is going to make their appearance?"

The wind on the deck suddenly picked up, and all the demons were taken aback.

Huang Shier froze for a moment.

Originally, after he had just killed Zhao Fenglai, Xue Xiang went into battle, and Huang Shier should have been the one to take on the challenge.

But when Xue Xiang questioned him, Huang Shi'er also felt guilty.

He was really too embarrassed to go into battle.

He was a powerful cultivator at the late Foundation Establishment stage, possessing unparalleled divine might.

If word got out that he was going to fight a human in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, he would lose all face.

Huang Shi'er rolled his eyes, then took a step back, his mane swaying wildly, and coughed softly, pretending not to hear.

The Core Formation demon understood Huang Shier and pointed at Xue Xiang, saying, "Killing you is enough for the junior Qi Refining cultivators in my clan."

After saying that, he clapped his hands lightly.

A deep, beastly roar echoed through the sea of ​​fog.

The water surface suddenly burst open, splashing up white waves several feet high, and a strange, scaled, armored figure leaped out of the sea and stood on the waves.

This demon has a head resembling a deer, with protruding fangs, an iron-blue face, and arms covered in barbs that look like inverted bone spears. With the slightest tremor, it emits a chilling light.

His eyes gleamed with a grayish light as he glanced sideways at Xue Xiang. "Since the King has appointed you, little human, I'll give you three moves."

Xue Xiang didn't even glance at the Deer-Headed Demon. "You're no match for me. Let's have Huang Shi'er instead."

Huang Shi'er's mane suddenly bristled, a hint of savagery flashed in his eyes, then he snorted coldly, turned his head away, and refused to fight.

Xue Xiang glared at the Core Formation demon and shouted, "Do you really want your little demon subordinates to die? Send Huang Shier!"

Old Qi secretly praised him, for he could tell that Xue Xiang was deliberately stalling for time.

This guy understands the psychology of the demon race too well; this one hook and two combos took up a lot of time.

The Core Formation demon snorted coldly, "Enough with the nonsense, kill!"

He was already annoyed by Xue Xiang's nagging and complaining manner.

The deer-headed demon roared, stomped its foot, and the waves shattered as it pounced on the enemy in a blur.

"court death!"

Xue Xiang stood tall, his sleeves billowing, and raised his hand to meet him.

"boom!"

The demon with the head of a deer slashed down with its arm like a blade, sharp and menacing.

Xue Xiang stepped into the air, neither dodging nor yielding, nor using his sword courage, but directly blocked with his fist.

Their arms clashed, like metal striking metal, causing the air to vibrate violently.

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the deer-headed demon. He actually felt that the power of this human could rival his own.

The two separated immediately upon contact, but then clashed again.

Physical body, blood and energy, and spiritual power intertwine in the sea of ​​mist.

Each strike sent up huge waves, and every collision sparked fireworks.

Xue Xiang fought with lightning speed, his punches like a tidal wave, one wave after another.

The deer-headed demon roared repeatedly, its bone spikes tearing through the air and creating sonic booms.

After fifty moves, the demon with the deer head was sweating profusely, and he became increasingly alarmed as the battle progressed.

Huang Shier sneered, "With such little skill, you dare to yell at me?"

The Core Formation Demon's iron-black eyebrows furrowed slightly, clearly dissatisfied that the Deer-Headed Demon couldn't quickly resolve the battle.

Only those who knew the inside story, like Lao Qi, secretly praised him.

Xue Xiang's move was brilliant, buying them even more time.

When the battle had reached the eightieth move, Xue Xiang saw that the time was almost right, so he suddenly increased his speed, and a cold, gleaming short blade appeared in his palm, which he slashed down diagonally.

"puff!"

The demon with the head of the deer had no time to dodge. A half-foot-long gash was cleaved open on its shoulder. It let out a miserable howl and staggered.

Taking advantage of the situation, Xue Xiang stepped forward and kicked out with a force like a landslide and tsunami, shattering his sternum.

The demon with the head of a deer spewed out a mist of blood, and Xue Xiang seized the opportunity to strike down with his palm. The blood energy surged and shattered the demon's head with a deafening roar.

The next moment, Xue Xiang dug out the core of the Deer-Headed Demon.

The demon core, tinged with blue, was as hot as blood.

The humans on the deck roared in unison, their excitement breaking through their inhibitions and surging out like a tidal wave.

The demons fell into a deathly silence.

Xue Xiang smiled slightly, but pointed at Huang Shier and said, "It's your turn to be beheaded."

Huang Shier was furious, "You think you can become an immortal by killing a mere Qi cultivator?"

I can crush you without using a second finger.

"You think you're worthy of my attention?" "Yellow Lion, you fight."

The powerful demon at the Core Formation stage is recruiting generals.

He finally lost his patience.

Dealing with a mere Foundation Establishment junior human is a waste of too much time.

Xue Xiang secretly groaned; this was not what he had expected.

He also planned to have the demons act like the Calabash Brothers rescuing their grandfather, one by one, creating a sense of hierarchy.

After completing Qi Refining, you move on to the early Foundation Establishment stage. After completing the early Foundation Establishment stage, you move on to the middle Foundation Establishment stage, and finally, you reach Huang Shier.

If that's the case, time can definitely be dragged out until the grand formation is activated.

He never expected that the Core Formation demon would break the routine.

The powerful demon at the Core Formation stage had chosen his generals, and Huang Shier had no choice but to fight, no matter how unwilling he was.

His mane stood on end, his face was full of resentment, and the waves churned beneath his feet as if he wanted to crush the sea.

Xue pointed into the air and his voice was like thunder: "Huang Shier, what are you best at?"
I'll use what you're best at, so that if you lose, the demons won't have to keep arguing.

Before Huang Shi'er could even get angry, the demons began to curse incessantly.

Huang Shi'er roared in anger, "I'll tear you apart alive! Tell me, how do you want to die?"

Xue Xiang laughed loudly, his voice shaking the surrounding area: "It is said that the demon race has unparalleled physique, with muscles and bones stronger than iron and blood power far surpassing that of the human race."

But I refuse to believe this nonsense!

"Let's fight hand-to-hand. If I use even a fraction of my spiritual power, I'll consider myself the loser!"

Upon hearing this, both the human and demon races erupted in uproar.

Huang Shier was further enraged and roared, "If I can't tear you apart alive, I'll get out of this demon realm myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, he roared and charged forward.

Its iron body roared, its red mane blazed like fire, and as it opened and closed its arms, it was as if two giant axes were cleaving the air.

Xue Xiang charged forward, his body surging with blood and energy, his fists heavy and powerful, like a mountain collapsing.

"boom!"

The clash of fists and feet created a shockwave that exploded like thunder, shattering the surface of the sea.

The two clashed physically, their fists colliding repeatedly, creating waves that rose several meters high.

Huang Shi'er roared repeatedly, each strike capable of shattering the rocks, yet Xue Xiang withstood them all without retreating a single step.

"My God, he really doesn't use spiritual power!"

Someone on deck cried out, both horrified and shaken.

Even within the demon race's ranks, there were whispers of astonishment: "How can a human at the Foundation Establishment stage possess such a physical body!"

Xue Xiang and Huang Shier exchanged blows repeatedly, their fists whistling like thunder and their claws like mountains.

The two figures moved with lightning speed, colliding once in mid-air and creating a shockwave.

In just a few dozen moves, the sea fog was forcefully dispersed, revealing the dark, churning sea surface.

Huang Shier was increasingly alarmed as he fought. He had thought that he could tear Xue Xiang's bones apart with a single claw, but every attack was blocked by Xue Xiang's body, which was as hard as refined iron.

The opponent's blood was surging and his bones were throbbing; he was clearly trying to fight him with his physical body.

"How could such a freak exist among humans!"

He was furious and roared repeatedly, his claws raining down like a storm.

Xue Xiang roared, his joints trembled, and his blood and qi surged like flames. His physical body, which had survived the Heavenly Tribulation and was comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator, now unleashed its full power.

His fists flew like a sudden rainstorm, forcefully repelling Huang Shier's attacks.

The two men's fists and claws collided repeatedly, sparks flying, the sound like giant hammers striking drums.

After eighty moves, Huang Shier was breathing heavily, his mane was disheveled, and fine sweat was seeping from his forehead. He was being firmly suppressed by Xue Xiang.

"Bravo! Good luck!"

"Is this still a human?"

On the deck, Lao Qi and the others watched with their blood pumping and excitement.

At the same time, they were extremely shocked by Xue Xiang's unfathomable strength.

The Nascent Soul stage demon watched coldly, his heart pounding with a thousand drums, when suddenly he heard the fox-headed demon beside him whisper, "Your Majesty, something is wrong."

If this person has such skills, why did he fight with Zhang Laoqi for so long?

I can't think of any other reason than deliberately stalling for time.

The Core Formation demon's expression changed drastically, and he shouted sternly, "Yellow Lion, don't fight him with your fists and feet. Use your innate divine power, and within thirty breaths, I will decapitate this fiend."

All demons, heed my command: Form the Crescent Moon Formation and defend to the death!

The yellow lion roared to the sky, its voice like thunder, its mane standing on end as if it were set ablaze.

The overwhelming demonic aura forced Xue Xiang to keep his distance.

With a roar, his shoulders and back swelled up, his bones and muscles seemed to crack like a mountain range, and layers of scales emerged from under his skin.

In the blink of an eye, Huang Shi'er was no longer in human form, but had completely transformed into a demon.

His lion head was raised in anger, his fangs protruded, he was three zhang tall, his shoulders and back were as broad as mountains, and his limbs were as if cast from iron and stone.

Its crimson mane billowed like flames, trailing black winds at the end, and each breath was accompanied by a thunderous roar.

"This is Huang Shi'er's true form..."

Some people have a dry throat and hoarse voices.

"The lion demon in its transformed form possesses boundless strength!"

The other person gasped, his heart pounding with fear.

Huang Shier's lion eyes gleamed with bloodlust as he stared intently at Xue Xiang, his voice sharp as iron: "Human brat, do you dare to challenge my physical body?"
Then I'll show you my true power!

He spread his arms wide, his red mane danced wildly, and his blood and qi gushed out like flames, transforming into a red pillar that shot straight into the sky.

The sky trembled violently, and the next moment, a crack opened, revealing the outline of a burning meteorite.

Flames licked the stone shell, leaving long trails of fire that tore the night sky crimson.

The meteorite was as big as an island, and before it even fell, it had already stirred up towering waves.

The seawater surged backward, the tide rose wildly, and the white-boned boat rocked in the waves, almost capsizing.

"My God... what kind of technique is this?!"

The humans on the deck were pale-faced, staring at the meteorite that blotted out the sky. Their throats were dry, and they couldn't even utter a sound.

The demons, however, were invigorated and roared in unison, the sound waves crashing against the protective barrier.

"kill him!"

"Huang Shi'er's supernatural powers are invincible!"

Xue Xiang stood in mid-air, his clothes billowing in the wind, his eyes reflecting the earth-shattering fireball.

The heat wave hit us like a thousand horses roaring at the same time.

The air was scorched so hard it emitted a sharp crackling sound, and the protective runes on the bone boat shattered one by one.

The waves roared, the ship trembled, and even the demons in the distance couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"This is no ordinary technique; it is the innate divine power of the demon race!"

Old Qi shouted loudly.

The meteorite fell faster and faster, and its entire outline was fully revealed, resembling a small mountain as it plummeted into the sky.

Flames engulfed the hill, illuminating the entire sea.

The sounds of waves, howling, and explosions combined, as if the entire world was about to collapse.
