The two stood in the void, staring at each other, while the raging energy of the surrounding world did not affect them.

"Yadu, although you broke through the formation and escaped, you probably don't have much fighting power left!"

Ya Du used a secret technique to suppress his injuries, and spoke in human language from his tiger's mouth: "Hmph! The winner is king, the loser is a bandit. I admit that my demon race lost this round, but you are delusional if you want to keep us here. If you don't believe me, come and try!"

At this moment, Ya Du was seriously injured and could only exert less than 20% of his strength, but even that 20% was enough to rival any of them who were at the half-step Shattered Realm.

Jiang Mu's eyes flashed with seriousness. They had all exhausted themselves and their strength had been affected to some extent. The other side still had two intact demon gods, and even though Ya Du was seriously injured, he was not afraid of any of them in a one-on-one fight. This situation left him somewhat at a loss.

Situ Ping didn't care about any of that. Holding the Blood Phoenix Halberd, a divine artifact of the Hunyuan Sect, he shouted, "Hmph, why bother talking so much to these demons? Let's just go and fight!"

Before he could finish speaking, he lunged forward and thrust his halberd at the demon horde.

The four demon gods were furious that Situ Ping was so arrogant and didn't even say a word before stepping forward to fight. Ya Du was about to step forward, but was stopped by Ba Tian.

"Brother, you stay here and keep watch, I'm going to take down that old man Situ!"

After saying that, he met the attack with his iron palms.

A series of metallic clanging sounds suddenly rang out in the void, as Ba Tian actually managed to block all of Situ Ping's moves with his bare hands!

Situ Ping used various halberd techniques, stabbing and thrusting, creating spatial rifts in the void, but he was still unable to break through Ba Tian's iron palms, which shocked him.

Jiang Mu turned to look at his junior brother, Zhou Mubai, who understood Jiang Mu's meaning. He raised his sword and flew towards the battlefield, clearly intending to fight two against one. Facing the demon race, he didn't care about saving face.

With Zhou Mubai's participation, Situ Ping, who was at a disadvantage, immediately turned the tide, and the three of them fought with increasing courage and headed towards deep space.

Seeing the situation, Xiangbei also wanted to expand his gains. He exchanged a glance with his junior brother and stepped forward from the crowd.

"Amitabha Buddha, we two from Wanfo Temple have come to learn from your teachings. Who from your demon race will accept the challenge?"

Lu Yue first fed Shao Xin a lot of rare and precious herbs. Once she was sure that Shao Xin wouldn't die anytime soon, she immediately flew up as well.

“The Buddhist teachings of Wanfo Temple are profound, and Luyue has come to seek their guidance.”

The three exchanged a glance and then flew into deep space.

Jiang Mu looked at Gu Shang of Taiyi Sect, as if to say, "Who do you choose? No one can afford to fail to contribute today!"

Gu Shang and another Taiyi Sect elder also flew forward, heading directly towards Ya Du. With a flick of their whisks, the pure energy of heaven and earth rose and locked onto Ya Du. Clearly, although Ya Du was seriously injured, the two of them dared not be careless in the slightest.

The Five Elements Laws flashed in Ya Du's eyes. In just a short while, he forcibly suppressed his injuries and was able to unleash 40% of his strength, which shows how terrifying the Five Elements Great Dao is!

"Hahaha, all of you, come at me together! Let's see who dies first!"

The Five Elements Domain opened, and a terrifying aura spread out, making the remaining four people look grim. Just this aura alone made the four of them realize that they had to join forces to resist it!

Without further thought, given the current situation, it was a fight to the death between the two sides that would not end the matter. Therefore, both sides pulled out all the stops.

The battle at the half-step shattering stage had an extremely wide impact; the tremors could be felt almost anywhere on the Qingxuan Continent. Those unaware of the situation even thought it was the end of the world and knelt there praying.

Even a master like the Fourth Ancestor, a Heavenly Realm expert, could detect the source, but when he arrived a million miles away from the battlefield, he dared not enter.

Even those at the Heavenly One Realm wouldn't dare claim to be completely unharmed as they continue forward. Only those who have reached the limit of the Heavenly One Realm can advance tens of thousands of miles, but even they dare not venture too deep.

The air was thick with an aura of destruction; there couldn't possibly be any living creatures left inside!

He then saw an acquaintance there and went up to him.

"Fellow Daoist Murong, Li Qing greets you!"

The man dressed as a Taoist priest was named Murong Cheng, the patriarch of the Longyuan Empire.

Murong Cheng's expression remained unchanged when he saw the Fourth Ancestor, knowing that such a major event would attract the attention of various empires.

"Fellow Daoist Li, you're too kind. Do you know what happened?"

The Fourth Patriarch smiled wryly and said, "How would I know? I just arrived. Fellow Daoist Murong arrived a while earlier than me. Have you discovered anything?"

"I did make some discoveries. I circled half of the battlefield and found several thousand figures."

"Several thousand? Could they be members of the Ziwei Sect?"

"No, they are not human, but demons."

"What did you say? Demon race? Are you sure you're not mistaken? The chasm between heaven and earth is still there. Maybe one or two can get through, but thousands seems a bit exaggerated."

Murong Cheng spread his hands and said, "Go south for 400,000 li and you'll see for yourself."

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Patriarch flew away and returned shortly afterward, his face grim. He asked, "What exactly happened?"

"You're asking me? There are quite a few powerful demons among those demons. Even if we don't concentrate our forces, we can't possibly capture them."

"Oh, Senior Li, it's been a long time! I've missed you terribly!"

The Fourth Patriarch suddenly heard a familiar voice beside him, turned his head and immediately ran to the figure.

"Young Master Chu, what brings you here? It's too dangerous here. I'd rather escort you to my Ji Yuan Imperial City for a visit!"

Murong Cheng, who was standing nearby, was stunned upon hearing this. He rubbed his eyes. That's right, the dignified Fourth Ancestor of Ji Yuan actually valued a junior who was merely a Grandmaster so much!

Chu Di dismissed it, saying, "The entire Qingxuan ground is shaking like a sieve; how can we have fun? Besides, what danger? Am I, Chu Di, afraid of danger? We cultivators should be pioneers, clearing the way for the mountains and forests; why should we fear such difficulties!"

Murong Cheng, who was standing nearby, was shocked.

"What a fine junior! Li Qing was right about you. Just from those words, I can see your ambition. No wonder you've reached the level of a Grandmaster at such a young age. With such a mindset, you must be a representative figure among the young talents in the Ji Yuan Empire!"

"Senior, you are too kind. I am unworthy of such praise. How could I possibly represent all the talented individuals? I am merely a junior student and still have much to learn from you all."

"Neither humble nor arrogant, very good. There are so many talented young people in Longyuan, but none can compare to you. Heroes emerge in times of chaos; the ancients were right!"

The Fourth Patriarch stood there watching the Chu enemy put on airs, utterly bewildered in the wind.

They admired Chu Di's words back then, but later they realized that this kid was truly fearless. With the protection of that senior, he could go anywhere in the Qingxuan Continent, and he could even treat the demon race's territory as his backyard.

If he had a protective charm bestowed by a senior who was at least at the Shattered Realm, he could also be so fearless of death. Wouldn't that be enough to just talk the talk?
