Tang Dynasty Demon Suppression Division

"I'm not reconciled!"

The monstrous creature let out a defiant roar, overwhelmed by immense fear, yet powerless to do anything about it. Its form was crumbling, its edges beginning to break apart, peeling away like withered leaves.

"boom!"

The remaining demonic energy exploded simultaneously. The ghostly creature finally saw reality clearly and stopped harboring any illusions. It directly detonated all of its demonic energy, finally tearing a corner of the lightning net apart.

"Aaaaaah!"

He let out a piercing scream.

"You won't devour me!"

His body exploded violently, and fragments shot out in a dark sphere that flew off from the center of the explosion.

That was his magic core.

When a demon reaches the True Demon Realm, he can discard his physical body and even disintegrate most of his soul, but his demon core is the core of all his power. As long as his demon core remains, he will not die.

As soon as the demon core detached, it shot into the depths of the thundercloud at incredible speed, weaving and leaping between the dense electric grid.

He knew he couldn't escape in his current state, so he seized the opportunity and hid in an inconspicuous gap in the thunderclouds.

The raging lightning obscured his presence, and he struggled to suppress all his demonic energy, remaining motionless and cowering there like a speck of dust.

"Li Yuan..."

The monstrous creature cursed wildly in its heart, "You destroyed my demonic body and devoured my cultivation! This is an irreconcilable hatred!"

"Once I recover, I will skin you alive, tear you apart, and devour your soul!"

I curse you to a terrible death!

Suddenly, a chill seeped in from outside the thunderclouds. The ghost was startled, sensing something, and looked up to see a golden light.

After absorbing a large amount of demonic energy, Li Yuan's body underwent a tremendous change.

He cultivated techniques in human form, plundered demon cores to enhance his abilities, and now he has absorbed a massive amount of demonic energy, gathering the power of the human, demon, and monster races.

The three forces converged within the bronze palace, forming a surging river. The moment it was unleashed within his body, the Myriad Realms Palace roared.

"Buzz!"

The long-silent palace rose from the ground in golden light, and the palace doors opened on their own, shattering countless long-sealed restrictions like layers of ice.

At this moment, Li Yuan clearly felt that the Myriad Realms Palace had opened up to him. He had a strange feeling that he could hold it in his hand at any time if he wanted to.

From this moment on, he truly mastered the power of the Myriad Realms Palace and no longer needed to rely on Li to release it.

Now, the bronze palace is like his personal magic weapon, able to operate according to his will.

He stretched out one hand, palm up.

The golden light of the Myriad Realms Palace condensed in his palm, like a small sun.

The light surged and expanded in all directions, engulfing the entire sea of ​​lightning.

Golden light pierced through the churning thunderclouds, and Li Yuan could clearly feel every bolt of lightning and every wisp of water vapor carrying a bright and immense aura.

His star field was magnified a thousand times, expanding from a single island reef into a dome covering the entire Thunder Sea.

The elusive creature, hidden in the gaps of the thunderclouds, had nowhere to hide in the golden light. It felt a pair of cold, superior eyes sweeping across the entire sea before finally pinpointing its location on it.

"No!"

His disguise crumbled instantly.

Li Yuan's figure appeared alongside the phantom of the Myriad Realms Palace, his golden eyes calmly watching him.

The strange creature trembled violently, staring at Li Yuan in terror; all his hopes were instantly shattered.

Staring at the faint outline of the palace appearing behind Li Yuan, he let out a sharp gasp.

"This...this is impossible..."

"That's the Demon God's Temple? You're actually... a descendant of the Demon God!"

He screamed wildly and then burst into hysterical laughter.

"Hahaha……"

"The demonic vein is the core, human blood is the shell, and demonic power is the bone. These three powers are forged into one. I understand now! I finally understand!"

"That prophecy... the Demon God will eventually return! And I will be the key to his return!"

Before he could finish speaking, Li Yuan opened his palm and gently waved it. The phantom of the Myriad Realms Palace suddenly pressed down, taking the demon core into his palm. Golden light wrapped around it, sealing it from the inside out, while lightning poured in from all directions.

"boom!"

Only a sharp, abrupt screech remained in his palm, followed by a deep, resonant chime that lingered in the air for a long time.

Lei Hai quieted down.

As the golden light faded, Li Yuan withdrew his hand and looked down at his palm.

There, a dark magic core quietly rotated, like a tamed meteor.

He raised his head, his gaze piercing through the thunderclouds, looking towards the far west.

The ghost's last words pierced his heart like a thorn. Had the demon returned? Between him and Li, who was lying, or were they both telling the truth?

The answer seems to be within reach.

He seemed to be surrounded by even more fog, making him increasingly confused.

Li Yuan looked down at the demonic core enveloped in golden light in his palm. The lingering resentment of the monstrous creature was still raging wildly within it, like a caged beast emitting a silent roar.

Without hesitation, he slowly pressed the demon core into his brow. The phantom of the Myriad Realms Palace opened a vortex in his sea of ​​consciousness, completely engulfing the dark light.

"boom--!"

An immense force exploded within his meridians, like a flood breaking through a dam.

The three forces of humans, demons, and monsters circulated simultaneously within his body, circulating throughout the body. The golden outline of the Myriad Realms Palace appeared behind him, like an ancient god descending to earth, exuding a majestic and vast aura.

Li Yuan's aura began to rise rapidly in a short period of time, reaching the peak of the Dao Realm in the blink of an eye, and it continued to increase.

He had no time to consolidate his gains; Lei Hai's battle was nearing its end.

Li Yuan's figure vanished from the spot and reappeared outside the sea of ​​thunder the next moment.

Leng Shuang had already knelt on the floating ice, her body covered in blood, her ice sword shattered into pieces of iron.

Ji Fanghua stood in front of her, barely holding on with a spatial shield. Blood kept gushing from the corner of her mouth, and her shoulders trembled slightly under the combined attack of the Netherfire and Shadow Silk.

Seeing that she could not break through the defenses after a long siege, Ming Ji had already decided to kill and was about to launch a full-scale attack to break through this last line of defense.

"Dare to hurt them? You're asking for death!"

Li Yuan suddenly appeared.

Without any warning, a sword surrounded by golden starlight appeared in front of Ming Ji.

The blade moved with incredible speed, so fast that she had no time to react before it pierced through her Netherfire Armor on her chest.

Li Yuan did not stop. He unleashed a burst of starlight that shattered all of Xu Xuan's shadow threads. With a flick of his left hand, the phantom of the Myriad Realms Palace transformed into a golden dome, descending upon the two demons.

"you!"

Before the terror in Ming Ji's eyes could fully unfold, the golden light had already engulfed everything.

"Aaaaaah!"

The two demons were dragged into the Myriad Realms Palace, and the palace doors slammed shut with a loud thud.

Li Yuan did not kill them, but suppressed them in a corner of the palace, and had no intention of killing them for the time being.

He has absorbed too much demonic energy today. Keeping these two is like keeping demon cores, as tools to replenish his energy at any time.

He killed two demons in one move, leaving everyone else stunned and speechless.

He turned back to look at Leng Ningshuang and the other person.

Leng Ning Shuang leaned against the ice, her long hair disheveled, and the wound on her abdomen had frozen into a scab, making her look quite different from her usual aloof and self-possessed demeanor.

Ji Fanghua was in no better shape; her spatial power was overdrawn, and she could barely stand.

Li Yuan quickly stepped forward, helped the two up, took out some pills to feed them, and then used his internal energy to heal their meridians several times.
