Chat group: The ruthless guy was blown up after kidnapping Ye Hei at the start.

Li Hanyi displayed the Merfolk's supreme martial arts technique, the "Sea King Armor God Six Illusions Technique," leaving Ye Xiu in awe of her strength. A powerful aura surged from Li Hanyi's body, radiating light like rolling ocean waves. She held a scepter, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, her eyes revealing unwavering determination.

Is this the legendary Six Illusions Technique of the Sea King Armor God? It's absolutely astonishing! Ye Xiu was full of praise for Li Hanyi's strength.

Li Hanyi frankly admitted that although she had been taught this mental cultivation technique long ago, she had never seriously practiced it. Now, she had found a reason to live: to fight for Ye Xiu. Supported by the Six Illusions Technique of the Sea King Armor God, Li Hanyi prepared to face the Abyss's attack.

"Ruthless sister, you are truly an admirable girl." Ye Xiu looked deeply at Li Hanyi, feeling sincere admiration for her determination and strength.

Li Hanyi's determination and strength earned Ye Xiu's tacit approval and recognition; he expressed his admiration for her talent. Li Hanyi then challenged an accomplished cultivator, displaying astonishing combat prowess.

Despite some questioning whether a mere first-tier girl could contend with multiple Dao-enhancing beings, Li Hanyi proved her strength with her powerful aura and the power of the Sea King Armor God Six Illusions Technique.

She moved with agility, dodging enemy attacks as nimbly as a fish, while simultaneously unleashing offensive moves with her dazzling divine silk. In an instant, golden light flashed and waves surged; Li Hanyi on the battlefield was like a female warrior who was no less formidable than any man.

"Li Hanyi, you're just a first-tier girl, how dare you belittle those who have attained enlightenment?" A Deep Abyss Celestial Venerable said disdainfully.

Li Hanyi remained calm. She raised the scepter in her hand, her gaze firm. Although her ancestors had no great achievements, they dared to fight Chiyou alone.

These words shocked everyone present; Li Hanyi's background was truly extraordinary. It is said that in the primordial era, someone fought Chi You for several days, and although defeated, was still formidable. The identity of this mysterious figure remained a mystery. Li Hanyi's appearance led people to speculate that she might be a descendant of that mysterious figure.

The Abyss Celestial Venerable's attempt to use Li Hanyi as bait to request Ye Xiu's assistance reveals his fear of Ye Xiu. All of this reveals that the myths and legends of the Primordial Era hold some truth in this world, and also showcases Li Hanyi's astonishing potential as a descendant of the Merfolk.

The four Celestial Venerables unleashed their divine power and launched a fierce attack on Ye Xiu... The Abyss's immense strength was on full display; their attacks were like thunderbolts, tearing through the void and carrying destructive power straight towards Ye Xiu.

Ye Xiu frowned slightly, knowing that he was facing an extremely severe test.

"Ruthless sister, protect yourself!" Ye Xiu said to Li Hanyi, then faced the powerful offensive of the four Heavenly Venerables. Li Hanyi decided to fight against the Dao-achievers. Holding a scepter, her alluring figure moved like a water sprite. She concentrated the powerful force of the Merfolk's supreme mental technique, "Sea King Armor God Six Illusion Techniques," with divine light shining and illusory ribbons fluttering.

The battle erupted, the powerful attacks of the four Celestial Venerables intertwining with Li Hanyi's formidable counterattacks, igniting a fierce battle. Thunder, fire, wind blades, and rocks—various elements converged in the air, forming a chaotic battlefield.

Li Hanyi transformed into a war goddess, swiftly slaying her opponents who had attained enlightenment, displaying astonishing strength. Each swing of her scepter was like a divine thunderbolt, leaving her opponents defenseless. A resolute light shone in her eyes; she understood her responsibility and fought to protect Ye Xiu.

Ye Xiu, on the other side, clashed with the Four Heavenly Venerables. He dodged like a nimble fox, sometimes appearing behind his enemies, sometimes swiftly avoiding powerful attacks. Using his Samsara Myriad Flower Eyes, he accurately predicted his opponents' movements, making it difficult for the Four Heavenly Venerables to find an opening.

"Ye Xiu, do you think you can fight against the four Heavenly Venerables all by yourself?" one of the Heavenly Venerables sneered.

Ye Xiu smiled calmly, "Perhaps I alone am no match for the four of you Celestial Venerables, but I am not alone."

Chapter 312 The Power of Faith!

Meanwhile, the neutral families observed the battle, discussing whether to intervene. Some advocated remaining neutral, believing the conflict was none of their concern, while others argued that if Ye Xiu were defeated by the Abyss, the neutral families would also face annihilation.

This battle may seem to be just a matter of destiny between gods and demons, but for the neutral families, it has also become a risky test.

"We cannot stand idly by and watch the Abyss run rampant. If they were to replace the Sage of Six Paths with the power of faith in the mortal realm, the neutral families would not be spared either," said a representative of a neutral family, expressing their concern for the Abyss.

Amidst the fierce battle between the powerful and the abyss, the entire Immortal Realm seemed to fall into silence. The ambitions of all factions towards the Heavenly Lord were no longer a secret.

In the grand hall of the Immortal Realm, the Lord of the Abyss sat leisurely on his jade throne, gently swirling a cup of fine wine in his hand.

His gaze fell upon the battlefield, showing interest in the duel between Ye Xiu and the Four Heavenly Venerables.

This battle is getting increasingly interesting. The Celestial God smiled lazily, a wicked glint in his eyes. Just then, the Moon Goddess, Nine-Leaf Immortal King, slowly entered the hall. Her gaze was cold, always holding a disdain for the Celestial God's existence. She proposed: "Should I go and capture the King, to increase the Abyss's chances of victory?"

God merely chuckled and said, "No need. This battle is just entertainment for us."

The Moon Goddess gave him a cold look, expressing doubt about Ye Xiu's strength. "How could Ye Xiu possibly fight you? You are the Lord of the Abyss, he's just a mortal." The Lord of the Abyss, however, responded with his usual playful tone: "Moon Goddess, you think so highly of him, do you think he might be able to defeat me?"

The moon goddess remained silent for a moment, feeling dissatisfied with God's style of praising and belittling. "You are always so frivolous. Don't you ever have a moment of seriousness?"

However, God remained calm, for the higher one stands, the harder one falls, and that feeling is quite pleasant.

The Moon Goddess paused, growing increasingly displeased with the God's reaction. She turned and left the hall, leaving the God to continue watching the battle. Behind her, a wicked excitement gleamed in the God's eyes.

Thick smoke filled the sacred ground at the entrance to the Immortal Realm, and everyone thought Ye Xiu would be killed by the four Celestial Venerables.

However, when the thick smoke cleared, everyone saw Ye Xiu still standing tall. The Eightfold Heavenly Array had formed around him, as solid as an iron wall, blocking the powerful attacks of the four Heavenly Venerables.

How could this be? The four Celestial Venerables, including the Nightmare King, were shocked, never expecting that Ye Xiu would have such powerful methods.

Ye Xiu smiled, his eyes flashing with fighting spirit, and then activated the second stage of his demonic transformation. A powerful force surged forth, and the aura of a half-step Immortal King spread out, putting pressure on the four Celestial Venerables.

"Immortal King Realm? He actually reached the half-step Immortal King Realm!" The Nightmare King's pupils constricted as he exclaimed in shock. The red-haired man grew even more fanatical, wielding a thin red blade. He combined demonic power with holy light, displaying formidable strength. Ye Xiu's figure burned like flames, filled with a demonic aura.

"Come on, four Celestial Venerables!" Ye Xiu's voice boomed like thunder throughout the Holy Land, and the Eightfold Heavenly Array emitted a brilliant light.

The four Celestial Venerables exchanged a glance, a sense of awe rising within them. They gathered together and launched another attack, unleashing a fierce assault on Ye Xiu.

The power of the elements surged forth, transforming into a massive storm that swept towards Ye Xiu.

However, Ye Xiu remained unfazed. He swung his red blade, its flashing light shattering the storm. Magic and holy light complemented each other, forming a powerful shield that withstood the attacks of the four Celestial Venerables.

"Looks like I need to get serious." Ye Xiu said calmly, a sharp light flashing in his red pupils.

He fought four against one, each swing carrying astonishing power. The crimson blade cleaved through the void, unleashing a tempestuous wind and thunder. The four Celestial Venerables exerted all their strength, yet they could not suppress Ye 197 Xiu.

They were all wounded, driven back, and blood splattered everywhere.

Ye Xiu single-handedly withstood the attacks of four Celestial Venerables, demonstrating his formidable strength. However, the four Celestial Venerables were not defeated; instead, they decided to resort to even more extreme measures, activating a self-destruct mode and using the Divine Guidance Technique: Earth Explosion Star.

A powerful surge of divine energy formed a square barrier, isolating the four Heavenly Venerables and Ye Xiu within it. This was a forbidden technique of the Abyss, known as Earth Explosion Star, possessing immense power enough to destroy the entire Holy Land. Ye Xiu felt the immense pressure emanating from the barrier; he knew he had to escape this death trap as soon as possible.

"This is a divine attraction technique; we cannot escape!" a Celestial Venerable said with a cold laugh.

Ye Xiu's expression turned grave; he knew the situation was extremely dangerous. Just then, Li Hanyi sensed something amiss and rushed to her aid. However, a cultivator who had achieved Divine Body Dao blocked her path.

Chapter 313 Those Who Block My Way Will Die!

"Want to stop me?" A determined light flashed in Li Hanyi's eyes as she displayed the immense power of the Merfolk's supreme cultivation technique, "Sea King Armor God Six Illusions Technique."

At the same time, a massive meteorite fell from the sky, causing the ground to crack. Li Hanyi and the Dao-achiever clashed fiercely within the fissure, her figure moving with the agility of a fish darting through water. Although the Dao-achiever was powerful, he was ultimately unable to completely halt Li Hanyi's onslaught.

Within the barrier, the Four Celestial Venerables and Ye Xiu began their final, fierce battle. The massive meteorite became their arena, and the situation within the red barrier grew tense and intense. Ye Xiu combined magic power with holy light, his blade flashing, as he fought the Four Celestial Venerables to a standstill.

"Ye Xiu, do you think you can escape the clutches of the abyss?" a Celestial Venerable said coldly.

Ye Xiu gritted his teeth, his heart filled with anger and determination. He knew that if he couldn't break free of this barrier soon, the Abyss's self-destruction would occur, destroying everything.

The four Celestial Venerables joined forces to unleash the Divine Guidance Technique: Earth Explosion Star, attempting to kill Ye Xiu. However, Ye Xiu did not surrender; he displayed astonishing counterattack power. Suddenly, Ye Xiu's closed right eye opened, and a dazzling golden light burst forth—the power of the Samsara Myriad Flower Eye. He activated the equivalent power of Earth Explosion Star, causing the entire Holy Land to tremble.

Two massive meteorites collided violently in the sky, triggering a colossal explosion. The energy released from the explosion created a dazzling light that engulfed everything within the barrier. The Four Heavenly Venerables and Ye Xiu perished in this massive blast.

This is... the power of Earth Explosion Star? The Daoists were utterly shocked.

Li Hanyi also suffered some injuries during the attack, but she remained steadfastly in place. She looked up at the site of the explosion, her heart filled with worry and anticipation.

The aftershocks of the explosion severely injured the Dao-achievers, plunging them into chaos. Li Hanyi sensed a powerful surge of energy and stepped forward to engage the Dao-achievers in fierce combat. Li Hanyi's figure moved like lightning, using the Merfolk's supreme mental technique, "Sea King Armor God Six Illusions," to defeat her enemies one by one.

However, Ye Xiu remained unmoved, his red hair fluttering, and walked towards Li Hanyi. His eyes flashed with a cold light, like those of a demon from hell. This battle shocked all the spectators; Ye Xiu's overwhelming power seemed unmatched.

After witnessing the Four Heavenly Venerables' demise, the Dao-attaining cultivators all chose to flee. They deeply felt the terrifying power of Ye Xiu, the Demon Emperor hailed as the most fearsome figure in history, who instilled a profound sense of dread in them.

The entire scene resembled the end of the world, with the sacred ground's energy fluctuations constantly surging. Yi Shuihan stood at a distance, watching this scene, and couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. Ye Xiu's power made people tremble; he had become an unparalleled existence in this universe.

Li Hanyi looked at Ye Xiu with concern; he seemed to be acting strangely after the battle. She asked anxiously, "Ye Xiu, are you alright? What happened just now?"

Ye Xiu smiled and shook his head. He covered his left eye, golden blood seeping from between his fingers, and Li Hanyi's heart sank. Ye Xiu chuckled softly and explained, "This is just because I haven't truly entered the Dao yet, and my body can't fully withstand the power. This little injury is nothing." With that, he waved his hand, returning to his original state, his white and red hair alternating.

"It's good that you're alright." Li Hanyi breathed a sigh of relief, but she still couldn't hide her worry. Ye Xiu looked deeply into her eyes and said gently, "Don't worry, it's not a big problem. It's just the result of my power being stacked."

The observers present were shocked by this scene. Ye Xiu had just single-handedly killed four Abyss Celestial Venerables, displaying a formidable strength that astonished everyone. However, the strange phenomena surrounding him also caused concern among some, as whether such power could be maintained for an extended period remained uncertain.

Within the neutral camp, hesitation began to creep in. Faced with the Abyss's attack, they realized the immense risk of the gamble, and while Ye Xiu's strength was coveted, it also made them uneasy (as De Nuo Zhao stated). The very survival of their families became a thorny decision.

At this moment, the leaders of the neutral families began to plot how to deal with the situation. Some believed they should surrender to the Abyss immediately to survive, while others advocated for continued resistance, believing that Ye Xiu's formidable strength might be their only hope.

Li Hanyi was extremely anxious. To help Ye Xiu suppress the power within him as soon as possible, she handed him a scroll of the Demon Observation Technique. She said, "Ye Xiu, this is the Demon Observation Chapter. It might help you suppress the other powers within you. You must cultivate it diligently; this may be your only chance of victory and the last way to save your life."

Chapter 314 The Gate to the Mysterious Wonderland!

Ye Xiu took the Demon Observation Manual. The rolled-up characters were profound and unfathomable, revealing a mysterious power. He read it carefully, trying to understand its mysteries. However, he soon discovered that the Demon Observation Manual did not effectively suppress his power; his power remained difficult to control.

He frowned, looking at the Observation of Demons in his hand, and said to Li Hanyi, "This Observation of Demons technique is not very useful to me. Although I have high comprehension, I cannot see through its mysteries, and even the writing on it is blurry."

Li Hanyi's heart sank upon hearing this. She knew how important the Demon Observation Manual was to Ye Xiu and couldn't help but feel worried. She urged him again, "Ye Xiu, you must comprehend the Demon Observation Manual as soon as possible. It's our only hope. If you can't master this technique, unpredictable variables may arise in future battles."

Ye Xiu gave a wry smile. He knew Li Hanyi's worries were not unfounded, but the current battle situation forced him to abandon months of dedicated study of the Observation Technique. He decided to focus his time on the frontline battles and temporarily set aside the Observation Technique.

Just then, the Ruthless Empress walked over from afar. Seeing Ye Xiu injured, she displayed her powerful yet gentle immortal energy to heal his wounds. The immortal energy flowed like a tide, enveloping Ye Xiu and gradually healing his injuries.

Although Ye Xiu's injuries had improved, he felt a wave of fatigue. He smiled and said to Li Hanyi, "I made a small mistake, but thanks to Xian Qingxian's treatment, I'm fine now."

Li Hanyi breathed a sigh of relief and said with emotion, "You're such a character, you can still laugh. But seeing that you're alright, I'm relieved." (chci)

Ye Xiu paused for a moment, then said to Li Hanyi, "Now you need to rest well. Let me heal you." With that, he unleashed his cultivation and began to treat Li Hanyi.

Under the healing power of the Ruthless Empress, Li Hanyi felt her body brimming with vitality, and she expressed her gratitude to the Empress. The Ruthless Empress smiled calmly, saying it was what she should do. Just then, Daoist Han Paopao rushed over, shocking Ye Xiu.

Upon seeing Han Paopao, Ye Xiu's expression tightened. He knew that the Azure Dragon Holy Land was unguarded, and his worry was palpable. Han Paopao, the Daoist, briefly explained his encounter with Zhang Junbao to everyone, his words remarkably detailed, eliciting astonishment from those present.

Li Hanyi asked Ye Xiu, "Do you know Master Zhang?"

Ye Xiu shook his head, looking bewildered: "Master Zhang? I... I was just guessing."

Li Hanyi was somewhat puzzled by Ye Xiu's answer, but she didn't delve into it at the moment. Ye Xiu expressed his intention to enter the Immortal Realm, and Li Hanyi hesitantly asked for the opinions of others.

"The Twelve Heavenly Venerables of the Abyss are too arrogant and should not be underestimated." Ye Xiu's expression was serious. Then he showed the aura of a king and compared himself with the other strong people: "I, Ye Xiu, am one of the strongest people in the world, just like you. You can be called princes, but you are all my subjects."

Li Hanyi sighed upon hearing this and scoffed, "Are you worried about not being able to become a minor feudal lord?"

Ye Xiu smiled but did not answer, knowing full well that his goals went far beyond this. The Ruthless Empress also casually chimed in, "Indeed, the Great Demon King is no longer fit to be a minor warlord."

Li Hanyi was worried about her fate; she had consulted a divination master and received nineteen consecutive ominous predictions. However, she still cherished her encounter with Ye Xiu and held onto a glimmer of hope for the future. Seeing Li Hanyi's expression, Ye Xiu smiled slightly and asked, "Ruthless woman, are you hiding something from me?"
