Intense negative emotions flooded Li Ming's mind.

"This old demon has killed countless human warriors, and his attacks on the mind are already at a master level."

The distracting thoughts vanished in an instant, and with the breakthrough of the Immovable King Technique, he finally succeeded.

Defending against this type of attack is also much easier.

A massive golden light emanated from Li Ming's body, forming a vast golden ocean.

It continuously washed away the thick, dark fog all around.

"If I didn't have the Purple Lotus and hadn't cultivated the Immovable King Technique, I'm afraid I really wouldn't have been able to withstand it."

Li Ming silently guarded his mind, not revealing a single flaw.

Proceed slowly.

Now that I have guarded my mind, I will no longer hide myself.

His gaze was utterly calm, and his steps were slow, yet they stirred up boundless winds and clouds in all directions. With each step he took, rolling red flames rose from beneath his feet, as if staining half the sky!

"Such vigorous blood and energy!"

Even though they were far apart, Danxuan and Daochi could both feel the immense power within the black tide.

It seems like it's going to burn the sky and boil the sea!

Danxuan held his breath, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

As a martial saint, he understood this all too well.

For a martial artist seeking to break through and achieve enlightenment, the tempering of their physical body is indispensable.

But martial arts that transcend the mundane are not merely about the arduous accumulation of qi and blood essence, nor the tempering and refining of muscles, bones, and skin.

It is also about the interweaving and fusion of the laws of heaven and earth, and the understanding and experience of them.

To use the flesh and blood of a human body to brand and inscribe the patterns of the Great Dao, in order to complete the form, to shed the mortal body, and to become a martial god among men!

It's like treating yourself as an embryo or a clay figure.

Only through rigorous training and trials by fire and lightning can one achieve success.

Its immense reputation for overwhelming power over Da Xuan is truly well-deserved.

"Fellow Daoist Li, your ambitions are grand, and you have risked everything to survive. You are truly a peerless genius who stands out in the entire Xuanhuang Realm!"

Danxuan sighed, as a great alchemist.

He has come into contact with a wide variety of forces and has connections outside of the Great Xuan. He has also traveled outside the Great Xuan with his sect and seen the geniuses of those great sects, but they all seem to be inferior to Li Ming.

The billowing black fog was like waves.

Even if the golden light that Li Ming unleashed could illuminate a ten-foot radius around him.

But the Black Mountain Demon is, after all, a great demon born from the Black Demon Mountain.

This vast and boundless earthly energy, spanning thousands of miles, obeyed all commands and was sufficient to suppress a Martial Saint!

"The old demon is getting serious!"

The Black Mountain Demon's reputation was earned through sheer force of battle. Once, a hundred Martial Saints entered Black Mountain, and half of them perished, demonstrating his formidable power!

Danxuan's face tightened, and his expression became extremely solemn.

...

"It is said that this old demon was also seriously injured by someone using a divine weapon decades ago, but he escaped into the Black Mountain. Could it be that his injuries have healed?"

Thinking of this, Li Ming's eyes shone with divine light, penetrating the darkness.

In his eyes, the Black Mountain Demon had completely revealed his true form.

The other party was neither human nor demon, but an extremely special being!

Black Mountain Demon

[Superior Demon]

[Entry]: [King of Black Mountain (Purple), Grudge of All Spirits (Purple), Path of Ghosts and Gods (Red), Command of Demons (Crimson)]

Its appearance seems to resemble a human, but it is only similar.

He could see beneath that imposing body.

Every inch of flesh and blood surged with boundless murderous aura, and behind him lay mountains of corpses and seas of blood!

That extremely strong murderous intent sent chills down one's spine, making one unable to help but feel a cold shiver.

The other party did not appear to be injured at all.

Its momentum is at its peak!

At the peak!

[King of Black Mountain (Purple)]: [Black Mountain possesses a spirit, which nurtured its form.]

【The Grief of All Spirits (Purple)】: 【The grievance of all spirits gives birth to its god.】

All things have a spirit, and all things can attain enlightenment.

Li Ming had seen similar things in countless ancient books, and there were even legends of divine stones giving birth to races.

But this was the first time he had ever seen someone in Black Mountain achieve enlightenment.

"You've got some skills, kid!"

Seeing Li Ming approaching, the Black Mountain Demon revealed its blood-stained fangs:

"I wonder if eating you would allow me to advance further!"

These peculiar beings are mostly born with extremely strong power and possess their own unique talents.

However, taking another big step forward is extremely difficult.

The Black Mountain Demon raised its head, like a dragon raising its head, causing ripples to surge in the void.

An extremely powerful will is like a series of thunderclaps rolling in all directions.

roar!

The moment the words were spoken, a deafening roar exploded in the void.

Boom!

The earth shook violently, and a bloody storm arose. From this evil wind, countless black demons charged out.

It was just a long howl, but it was comparable to the charge of thousands of troops on the battlefield, or even more terrifying!

Even the martial saints, separated by more than ten miles, couldn't help but feel horrified.

There was a vague sense that the situation here was changing dramatically, and that danger was rising like a tide, with all the dark demons no longer lying in wait.

This Black Mountain Demon didn't just attack Li Ming; in fact...

It doesn't want to let anyone go.

"According to the records, this Black Mountain Demon is incredibly powerful, only one step away from the Celestial Realm. If no countering divine weapon appears, we'll probably have no choice but to flee!"

A master from the Great Xuan said.

"The true form of the Black Mountain Demon is hidden within these waves. Even with divine weapons, it would be difficult to find him..."

Another martial saint sighed.

In order to prevent various forces from fighting each other for the resources of Black Demon Mountain, the predecessors fought fiercely. The powerful forces maliciously seized the resources and did not deal with the old demon, which became a major obstacle for later generations.

"it's over!"

A playful glint flashed in the Black Mountain Demon's eyes.

As the spirit of this Black Mountain, it commands all demons. It doesn't even need to personally take action against a Martial Saint of the Dharma Aspect level. Thousands or tens of thousands of black demons are enough to devour everything!

"Um?"

However, before the thought could even cross its mind, its pupils contracted sharply.

The sound of endless wailing echoed throughout.

Countless black demons seemed to sense the most terrifying existence and scattered one after another!

That was a blade of light stretching across the sky, as if it had ripped the sky apart.

Li Ming summoned the Heaven-Slaying Blade of Annihilation, and naturally, he would no longer hold back.

Now that we have achieved our goal of tempering ourselves and breaking through our cultivation techniques, we need to kill the old demon and take the Heavenly Essence Liquid.

If he wasn't mistaken, there was a drop of Heavenly Essence Liquid condensing behind the old demon's body!

The other party probably emerged from its slumber precisely because of this item!

With a raised eyebrow, he leaped up and crossed the surging black ocean in a fraction of a second!

Like lightning striking the sky, or a thunderous explosion as if an earth dragon were turning over!

The scorching blood and qi dispersed the vast black mist. Holding a black knife, he was like a hundred-foot-long dragon, pointing directly at the old demon's true form!

The entire black ocean seemed to be cut in half, unable to stop Li Ming's advance!

For a moment, the wave seemed to recede.

The somber black aura was covered by the blood aura, and countless black demons howled and retreated. The rolling Yin energy was also directly dissolved by Li Ming's blood and qi, which was like that of a real dragon or a divine elephant in the world.
