With the true form of the evil entity appearing, Immortal Lord Changli's original plan had to be abandoned.

Among those present who could probably put up a fight against that evil creature, there were probably only Immortal Lord Changli, Immortal Lady Qingluan, True Man Lingxiao, and Qiyan, who had not yet completely rid himself of the influence of demonic energy.

The Azure Phoenix Fairy, ranked first and second in the cultivation world, deliberately suppressed her cultivation level, along with the Five Divine Beasts, the Qilin.

Even with all four of them together, they weren't entirely confident they could suppress the evil entity.

That evil creature was far too powerful.

But the evil creature seemed to have guessed what they were thinking, changing from resting its chin on its hand to crossing its hands and leaning back lazily on the throne.

He spoke slowly and deliberately, saying, "It would be no fun just killing you all. Don't worry, I'm not that unreasonable. Since we've finally met, I should have some fun with you."

Excitement gleamed in his greyish-white eyes.

His words were met with scorn from the crowd.

The evil spirit, born from yin and evil energy, speaks such human-like words, truly considering itself a human being.

"Just pretend I don't exist and do as you originally planned. After all, my clones are enough to deal with you; you're not worthy of my personal attention."

The evil creature slightly raised its eyebrows, appearing to be merely observing from the sidelines without taking any action itself.

The words conveyed an extremely arrogant tone, as if they were certain that they could not defeat the clones he had summoned.

“Otherwise, I’ll have to take action myself. Guess how long your restrictions can last against me?” A bloodthirsty glint flashed in his eyes.

"Whether you want to play along with my clone, or I want to end this game directly, the choice is yours."

"Come on, let me see just how strong you really are."

The light in the evil creature's eyes grew increasingly excited, as if the ground beneath its feet was merely a giant playground, and everything was under its control.

The faces of the people below were extremely cold; the evil creature was so rampant that it didn't treat them like human beings at all.

Who likes to be threatened, especially those who are considered leaders in the cultivation world?

They were not only angry, but also felt ashamed that they had been driven to such a desperate situation by an evil creature.

But for now, they seem to have no choice.

"I have already sent a message to Baihu." Qi Yan's lips were pressed into a straight line as he tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart. "Qing Shu and Xuan Ye are also rushing here."

Zhu Yu was too busy with the transitional zone to send her any messages.

Qi Yan gave a cold laugh, "Sending four of the five divine beasts is already giving that evil creature a lot of respect. I'd like to see if he can withstand it."

"Then let's fight, and wait for the other five divine beasts to provide support," Shen Sangruo said in a deep voice.

With her breakthrough, her power to cleanse evil with flames should have reached a new level.

It is a natural enemy to those clones formed from yin and evil energy.

It's not impossible to fight back. Once Qing Shu and the others arrive, they might be able to counterattack.

Everyone knew in their hearts, but they also understood that casualties were inevitable in this battle.

This battle is destined to be epic.

Just as everyone was discussing countermeasures, the evil creature spoke again.

"I almost forgot, I have one more request. No matter what your arrangements are, she must be among those who come out to fight."

They didn't need any evil spirits to point it out; they all knew who he was talking about.

They all looked at Shen Sangruo with concern, but she remained calm and composed, as if she wasn't the one who had been chosen.

"After all, that guy specifically told me to 'take special care' of you."

"I was created by him, so I should at least listen to him." After saying that, the evil creature chuckled softly, not taking Qi Chong seriously at all.

"Then we'll see if your clones are lucky enough to withstand my flames." Shen Sanruo met the evil creature's intrigued gaze and tightened her grip on the feather fan in her hand.

She had already planned to go out and fight, so what was there for her to fear about the so-called special treatment from the evil creature?

The evil creature stared at her extremely bright eyes, its expression suddenly froze, and a strange glint flashed in its eyes.

For some reason, looking into those eyes, he felt a strange sense of familiarity.

However, Chen Sanruo had only recently come into his sight; he had never seen her before.

He quickly suppressed the strange look in his eyes, replacing it with a wicked smile.

"Really? I'm really looking forward to it."

He pondered whether he should personally take care of Shen Sangruo in the upcoming show.

After all, he is an evil being; what credibility can be found in the words that come from his mouth?

The more interested he is in someone, the more he wants to torture them to death.

After a verbal exchange, the original group of several dozen people resolutely stepped outside the barrier.

Lingxiao Zhenren, who was behind Chen Sangruo, stared at her with deep eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

Everyone's attention was focused on the upcoming battle, and no one noticed the strange look in Lingxiao Zhenren's eyes.

As soon as they appeared outside the barrier, the clones, who had been waiting for a long time, swarmed towards them like wolves that had been starving for days.

The main fighting force naturally consists of Immortal Lord Changli, Immortal Lady Qingluan, Daoist Wuwei, Qiyan, True Man Lingxiao, and Shen Daochen.

Immortal Lord Changli curled his lips into a cold smile; he didn't take such a powerful clone seriously.

As a cultivator at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage, he could easily handle even a group of late Nascent Soul stage clones.

Wherever the fire phoenix swept, all of its clones were burned to ashes.

Qingluan Fairy no longer suppressed her cultivation; at this point, there was nothing left to suppress, and her strength and aura erupted completely.

He summoned countless wind fields, and the wind blades instantly shredded dozens of clones into pieces.

The two of them could also coordinate their techniques, using Qingluan Fairy's wind field to infinitely expand Changli Immortal Lord's fire field.

In the blink of an eye, half of the thousands of clones had been killed.

The evil creature on the throne stared at the battlefield with an air of composure, calmly continuing to summon more clones.

The evil creatures weren't annoyed; on the contrary, they felt that this was exactly what made things interesting. If they were powerless to resist, it would be too boring.

The clones that were killed were instantly replaced, even more than twice as many as before!

Qi Yan narrowed his eyes slightly. The spiritual power he condensed in his hand was mixed with wisps of demonic energy. This was the first time he had truly used spiritual power in battle, and he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

But he didn't hold back at all in his moves; as one of the Five Divine Beasts, it was really a waste of his talents to deal with those clones.

Lingxiao Zhenren was affected by his inner demons and the pain of missing divine soul, and his strength was not as good as before, but he was still a cultivator in the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage, and his performance could only be described as mediocre.

Rather than eliminating those clones, his attention seemed to be more focused on Shen Sangruo, glancing at her every now and then.
