Tang Dynasty Demon Suppression Division

Currently, she is the only one capable of intervening in the battle at the center of the Thunder Sea.

But Langhuan ultimately chose to remain indifferent. After all, humans and demons are also adversaries, and she had already done right by not taking advantage of Li Yuan's misfortune.

The rumbling thunder began to subside, and everyone present noticed something was amiss.

At the center of the sea of ​​lightning, the soaring demonic energy was rapidly diminishing; the originally dense and viscous demonic energy was now thinning at an alarming rate.

The eerie aura fluctuated violently, sometimes surging and sometimes plummeting, as if it were undergoing a fierce struggle.

Is it because he's advancing in the next round?

"No, that's not right!"

Ming Ji suddenly turned her head and looked into the depths of the sea of ​​lightning. "This aura is strange. It doesn't feel like someone is advancing in rank."

"It seems something happened to him!"

For the first time, a crack appeared on Xu Xuan's cold expression. The shadows tightened abruptly in the air, and his voice was urgent: "Quick! Get there immediately!"

The two demons exchanged a glance, then simultaneously abandoned their entanglement and transformed into two streaks of black light, rushing towards the center of the sea of ​​lightning.

"Trying to leave?"

Leng Ning Shuang gritted her teeth, raised her ice sword high, and felt her blood boiling. Her half-demon blood was unleashing extraordinary potential under extreme conditions.

Ice and snow exploded around her, transforming into a massive ice wall that stretched out in front of her.

The surface of the ice wall was covered with fine frost flowers, emanating a biting cold.

"Get out of here!"

Enraged, Ming Ji unleashed her Netherfire, which transformed into a giant black python that slammed into the ice wall.

"Bang!"

The ice wall trembled violently, cracks spread, yet it stubbornly held on and did not collapse.

Xu Xuan's shadow threads bypassed the ice wall from the side and wrapped around her ankle.

Leng Ning Shuang swung her sword and severed one of the blades, but was struck in the back by another, instantly tearing her skin open and causing blood to splatter everywhere.

"Wow!"

She knelt on the ice, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Her wounds froze into dark red scabs in the extreme cold, and the wounds tore open again, bleeding again.

She didn't know how much longer she could hold on, but her gaze remained fixed on the dark figure trying to rush into the sea of ​​lightning. She plunged her ice sword into the ground and stood up again.

"I said... if you want to leave, step over my dead body."

Two flames burned in the eyes of the condensing frost.

Ming Ji was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

The eerie aura at the center of the Thunder Sea was waning at an alarming rate; if there was even a moment's delay, it might be too late.

She and Xu Xuan exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with murderous intent, and attacked simultaneously.

The Netherfire and Shadow Silk intertwined and clashed, pouring down on Leng Ning Shuang like a storm. Leng Ning Shuang tried her best to resist, but in the end, she couldn't hold on any longer.

Shadow threads wrapped around Leng Ning Shuang's wrist, and the next second, Netherfire pierced through her abdomen. She spat out a mouthful of blood and her body slowly fell into the sea.

"Senior Sister Leng!"

Just as Leng Ningshuang's body was about to fall into the sea, a transparent spatial ripple appeared beneath her, catching her.

Ji Fanghua's face was deathly pale, with traces of blood still clinging to the corners of her mouth.

She had just woken up from a coma, her breathing was erratic, but her eyes were surprisingly bright.

She supported Leng Ning Shuang's back with one hand, and with the other hand she swung forward, a spatial blade slicing through the shadow threads wrapped around Leng Ning Shuang's wrist.

The shadow thread snapped instantly.

Ji Fanghua gently placed Leng Ningshuang on a piece of floating ice, took a step forward, and stood in front of her.

Her spatial power has undergone a qualitative change after awakening. She uses spatial distortion as a weapon to create a chaotic area in front of her, which can change the direction of her opponent's attack.

"You can't stop us."

Xu Xuan's voice was cold, "So what if a little girl in the Condensation Realm has awakened the laws of space? You won't last ten breaths."

How will you know if you don't try?

Ji Fanghua's voice was soft, yet carried an undeniable firmness. She turned to look at Leng Ningshuang, "Senior Sister Leng, can you still hold on?"

Leng Ning Shuang sat up, clutching her abdomen, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of her mouth, and smiled: "I'm alright, I won't die."

Ming Ji was so angry that she laughed instead.

"Just you two little girls?"

Before she finished speaking, Ji Fanghua had already moved.

Her figure vanished from the spot without warning, and the next moment, she appeared beside Ming Ji like a ghost, silently slashing out with the spatial blade.

Ming Ji turned around hastily and used her Netherfire to block, but the spatial blade slashed through, instantly tearing open a bloody gash.

She retaliated in shock and anger, but missed her target. Ji Fanghua disappeared again and reappeared behind Xu Xuan, forcing him to turn around to deal with her.

Ji Fanghua moved between the two demons with unpredictable movements, constantly inflicting damage on them. Although none of the damage was fatal, it kept the two demons from escaping for a while.

Ji Fanghua's goal was simply to buy time; she believed in Li Yuan and that he could return safely.

Leng Ning Shuang wasn't idle either. She popped a Rejuvenation Pill into her mouth, formed hand seals, and unleashed a massive ice-sealing array. The two demons immediately slowed down, and Ji Fanghua seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

The two women coordinated perfectly, one engaging in close-range harassment and the other controlling the situation from a distance.

The two demons, eager to break free, were repeatedly forced back by the two women.

At the heart of the Thunder Sea, everything was now under Li Yuan's control.

He reached out and grabbed the demonic bun. The demonic energy began to surge into his body, rampaging through his meridians. However, his meridians, tempered by lightning, were unbreakable and withstood the repeated impacts of the demonic energy.

The surging demonic energy poured into the Myriad Realms Palace, and after being cleansed by the palace, it was transformed into spiritual energy, which continuously flowed back to nourish the palace.

"Buzz!"

The palace trembled slightly, emitting a joyful murmur, like a traveler trapped in the desert who had suddenly encountered sweet rain.

At this moment, Li Yuan no longer needed to actively absorb it; the Myriad Realms Palace was already frantically drawing out demonic energy.

Guimo clearly felt his strength slipping away like sand through an hourglass, and he began to struggle frantically.

"No! Don't!"

"What kind of monster are you! How can you devour demonic energy?!"

The lightning net tightened and deepened, compressing the black mist to only a few feet in diameter, which Li Yuan held in his hand, twisting and struggling incessantly.

"What...what are you trying to do?!"

The eerie voice had distorted; overwhelming fear engulfed him. "You're not human! You're a demonic cultivator!"

"So noisy!"

Li Yuan did not stop.

He had questions back when he saw the murals of demons in the underground palace.

Later, when he heard the ancient people talk about the Demon God's Temple, his suspicions became even stronger.

Perhaps Li wasn't lying; that was indeed Nuwa's palace in the beginning. But this palace had countless masters, and who can guarantee that one of them wasn't a demon god?

When Li told him that the demonic cultivator's cultivation method was to devour, a flash of inspiration struck him.

Since it can directly absorb demonic energy, why can't it absorb evil energy?

So, when he first started fighting the Ghostly Beast, he was already experimenting cautiously.

He secretly absorbed a wisp of demonic energy into his body and sent it into the Myriad Realms Palace. As he expected, the demonic energy was perfectly absorbed.

Having confirmed his suspicions, Li Yuan was overjoyed. The treacherous beast hadn't come to hunt him down at all; it had clearly come to deliver an incredible opportunity to him.

From that moment on, he began to set a trap, gradually leading him into the eye of the storm.

That's why he refused Li's help. He didn't want to use the Myriad Realms Palace to survive, but rather to use the South China Sea as a cage to hunt down Li.

This sea of ​​thunder was the burial site that Guimo chose for Li Yuan, but in the end it became a dead end that buried him.
