The five demonic beasts were somewhat surprised and confused because the anti-air restriction had suddenly disappeared.
*Sizzle*
Lu Tao and He Yuanshuang approached quietly, and at the same time, they slashed down with their swords, the Falling Moon Slash, several crescent moons flashing by.
With a soft "poof".
The five-headed monsters had no time to react before their heads were severed with a single blow.
The next moment, the Soul-Seizing Pearl appeared and swallowed the broken souls of the five demonic beasts that had just separated from their bodies.
The whole process took less than a second.
Lu Tao casually waved his hand, collecting the monster's corpse. The two then went into hiding again, intending to continue their sneak attack.
but.
The divine sense of a master at the peak of the Divine Platform realm is extremely powerful, extending over a thousand miles.
Therefore, although the sudden death of these five magical beasts was swift, many surrounding magical beasts still sensed the disappearance of their lives.
In an instant, the other magical beasts became alert and began to gather on the sea.
They didn't give Lu Tao and his companion a chance to kill them individually.
"In that case, let's go for the big one."
Lu Tao put away the No. 1 telescope and transmitted his voice to He Yuanshuang, "Shuang'er, come with me."
He Yuanshuang followed Lu Tao's instructions silently.
In the blink of an eye.
Lu Tao led He Yuanshuang to a spot on the sea. The two of them went directly into a cave and hid there, turning the cave into a speck of dust that floated in the air. From inside the cave, they observed the distance the magical beasts flew.
Three hundred magical beasts gathered in this direction.
They were all Divine Platform Perfection level magical beasts, flying at extremely fast speeds, and they approached the cave in just over ten breaths.
"Make your move!"
This moment.
Lu Tao decisively led He Yuanshuang away from the cave and suddenly appeared on the sea. At the same time, hundreds of fireballs and ice beads attacked the demonic beasts in all directions indiscriminately.
Because at this moment, Lu Tao and his companion were in the middle of the monster horde, allowing them to maximize the power of the ice orbs and fireballs.
"There's an ambush!"
"Beware of a human sneak attack!"
"Danger! Run!"
Many monsters reacted swiftly, but they were ambushed, and the fireballs and ice beads were simply too powerful.
Especially after advancing to the third tier, its terrifying flames and ice are so powerful that even a fully-fledged Divine Platform cultivator cannot withstand them.
Therefore.
In that instant, more than a hundred demonic beasts were burned or frozen to death, their souls not even having a chance to escape before being burned into nothingness.
But their final counterattack was equally fierce, with powerful martial arts techniques and soul attacks landing on the fireballs and ice beads.
In an instant.
Dozens of fireballs exploded instantly.
Even at the lowest tier of the third order, their defenses are still somewhat insufficient against attacks from a fully-fledged Divine Platform.
The ice beads, on the other hand, didn't suffer as much damage; they were hard enough.
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
"Treacherous humans, tear them apart!"
A little further away, the remaining hundred or so magical beasts realized that the fireballs' defenses were insufficient and began attacking from a distance, trying to defeat the remaining fireballs.
At the same time, his body surged with demonic energy, defending against attacks from the freezing power.
"kill."
Lu Tao did not put away the fireball, seemingly unconcerned about its loss, and continued to control the fireball and ice beads, launching a frenzied attack on the monster.
At the same time, Lu Tao himself flew towards the other wounded monsters.
puff--
The black iron blade, like the scythe of death, pierced through the head of a demonic beast with a single strike, shattering its soul.
*Sizzle*
In the next instant, Lu Tao used his movement technique, transforming into a shadow that covered ten miles in an instant. With a swift stroke, he killed another demonic beast.
"Die!"
At this moment, a human-like magical beast rushed forward at great speed, its sword flashing like a black ribbon, slashing towards Lu Tao's neck.
At the same time, other magical beasts surrounded Lu Tao and charged at him frantically.
Some magical beasts were using sonic martial arts in the distance, and their enchanting voices rang in Lu Tao's ears.
It seemed like just yesterday.
Lu Tao seemed to see dozens of beautiful women of different shapes and sizes, some with cat ears, some with fox eyes, some dressed as rabbits... surrounding Lu Tao, lying on his body, their tongues moving nimbly, their figures graceful.
Extremely tempting.
"snort!"
Lu Tao's martial arts heart was firm. He circulated his internal soul cultivation technique, and the Soul Bell appeared. With a gentle sway, it made a soft clanging sound. These images had just appeared when they vanished like bubbles.
"Heavenly Flame Sword Technique".
Facing the dozens of demonic beasts charging towards him, Lu Tao remained fearless. A long sword appeared in his hand, and with a few swift strokes, streaks of flame flew out, like fire dragons, instantly meeting the demonic beasts' attack.
boom--
The thunderous roar shook the heavens.
The fire dragons exploded one after another, along with the attacks of many magical beasts, creating a massive wave on the sea.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
As the powerful shockwave spread, Lu Tao, holding his bow and arrow, instantly released nine arrows, then charged forward and swept his sword horizontally, severing the head of a demonic beast.
puff!
With another swift stroke, he brushed past a demonic beast and pierced its chest with his sword.
Then, in a flash, he appeared in front of a monstrous lion. As the lion roared, a fireball shot out and smashed towards it.
With a bang.
Before the mad lion could attack, the fireball exploded directly in front of it, engulfing the lion.
"roar!"
In less than a breath, the mad lion was burned to ashes in the flames.
Even another monster beside it was affected, with half of its body burned away.
Meanwhile, Lu Tao had already flashed forward and attacked another demonic beast...
His mid-grade Heavenly Rank movement technique allowed him to move among the magical beasts as if they were nothing. Few magical beasts could keep up with his speed, and they couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes.
Puff puff puff—
The sound of sharp blades piercing flesh echoed across the sea. Though faint, it sounded like the cheers of death to the many magical beasts.
One head, five heads, ten heads...
In the blink of an eye, twenty magical beasts died at Lu Tao's hands.
Bang!
In the midst of the battle, Lu Tao was unable to dodge two attacks in time. A black cheetah slapped Lu Tao on the back with one claw and bit down on his neck at the same time.
Lu Tao staggered, slightly turning his head to avoid his neck, but the cheetah bit his shoulder.
A snap.
Lu Tao was unharmed, but the cheetah's hard teeth were snapped instantly.
All I could see was...
A set of black armor appeared on Lu Tao's body, radiating a cold light under the blazing flames.
Even with the full power of a perfected Divine Platform attack, it failed to leave the slightest mark on the armor.
"Hey!"
Lu Tao turned around, his expression cold. As the cheetah retreated frantically, he rushed forward and thrust his sword upwards through its throat, piercing its entire head.
In an instant.
Intense flames engulfed the cheetah's entire head, burning it to a skeleton in a single breath, then turning it into bone dust that scattered in the air.
Almost simultaneously, a small, thin gray cat seized the opportunity and, like a bolt of lightning, pounced on Lu Tao's back, viciously clawing at the back of his head.
It even burned its internal demonic energy, all for the sake of a single, successful strike.
Its claws are exceptionally sharp, like swords. If it gets a firm grip, it can crush not only the head of a cultivator at the Divine Platform, but even an ordinary second-tier creature.
Buzz!
But at that very moment...
An ice bead flew out from Lu Tao's back without warning, its powerful freezing force instantly meeting the gray cat's attack.
It was as if it had flown towards the ice bead on its own initiative.
"Meow!"
The gray cat's eyes widened in terror; it hadn't expected that Lu Tao had other ice beads inside his body.
It was too late to retreat, so the gray cat could only instinctively grab the ice bead frantically, burning the remaining magic energy in its body to create a powerful shield around its skin.
Click—
The ice bead shattered instantly under the lightning-fast claw strike, turning into countless ice shards.
The gray cat's paws were also frozen solid. Not only that, even though it burned its magic energy, the shield on its body and its physical body were still completely frozen.
However, it was still alive, and its eyes could still move.
"Go."
Lu Tao turned around expressionlessly and swung his sword, cutting the man in two.
With a gentle stroke of his left hand, the Soul-Capturing Pearl in his palm swallowed the gray cat's soul in a flash.
"Die!"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the thirty magical beasts broke through the encirclement of ice beads and fireballs and rushed to Lu Tao's front, attacking him all at once, leaving him with no way to avoid it.
"burst!"
Lu Tao remained calm and immediately took out twenty more fireballs, scattering them at the demons while uttering a single word: "Explode."
With a loud bang.
The twenty fireballs exploded instantly, and intense flames enveloped the demons.
Almost simultaneously, the demons unleashed a barrage of martial arts and soul attacks, all aimed at Lu Tao. Just as they were about to strike him, suddenly—
A small pavilion shrouded in an array appeared before Lu Tao. As the attacks came, Lu Tao dodged inside and quietly watched the demons.
Safe House No. 2
Boom boom boom—
The dense barrage of attacks bombarded the formation, producing deafening explosions.
Its explosive force directly evaporated the sea surface within a radius of hundreds of miles and pushed the seabed to a depth of ten miles.
Outside the formation, half of the thirty demonic beasts were burned to death, and the other half were almost crippled.
At that very moment.
Other magical beasts also surrounded the house, launching a series of devastating attacks that relentlessly bombarded it.
"Kill him! Smash him!"
"Attack with all your might! Don't let him escape!"
"Kill him and reclaim the secret realm."
Despite being bombarded by endless attacks and amidst devastating explosions, the formation only trembled slightly and showed no signs of breaking.
And that pavilion, like a sacred mountain, stands firm and unyielding.
"How could it be so strong?"
"A second-tier formation, a king-level defensive formation, he actually possesses such a treasure."
"Heaven-rank movement techniques, heaven-rank martial skills, second-tier defensive armor, king-level formations, and so many ice beads and fireballs, how are we supposed to kill them?"
At this moment, looking at Lu Tao in front of the safe house, dozens of magical beasts felt a wave of powerlessness.
Despite their power, they couldn't even break through Lu Tao's defensive formation, so they couldn't kill him at all.
"It's my turn!"
Lu Tao looked at the demons, smiled coldly, and instantly made the safe house larger, spreading the formation and enveloping the demons.
"Oh no! Run!"
"Beware of a trapping formation!"
The demons were terrified and abandoned their attack, turning to flee into the distance.
But just then—
hiss, buzz—
Lu Tao controlled the fireballs and ice beads, abandoning his attacks on other magical beasts, and turned around to surround these dozens of magical beasts, blocking their retreat.
"Roar! Let's fight him!"
"We can't escape. Destroy these fireballs."
"Aowu, kill!"
Seeing that there was no way out, the dozens of demonic beasts' eyes flashed with bloodlust, and they instantly abandoned their escape and attacked desperately.
Boom—
In an instant, dozens of demonic beasts not only unleashed a series of martial arts techniques, but also recklessly charged towards the fireballs and ice beads, resolutely self-destructing their bodies before the attacks even landed on them.
The self-destruction of dozens of Divine Platform Perfected Demonic Beasts, each with the power of an attack comparable to that of a Martial King, gives an idea of the immense explosive force.
*Click*
Under the powerful impact of the explosion, the fireball shattered and the ice beads burst one after another. In less than a breath, dozens of them were destroyed.
and.
Dozens of demonic beasts self-destructed, and the powerful force also impacted the safe house, causing the safe house's defensive array to shake violently and crackle, as if it was about to shatter.
But in the end, it persevered.
The fireballs and ice beads were destroyed, leaving the area completely empty before the demons.
"Walk!"
The demons lost their physical bodies, leaving only their souls, but they were still powerful. Without pausing for a moment, they fled.
"Want to leave? Did you ask me first?"
Lu Tao expressionlessly put away the safe house, flashed out, and instantly approached the demons. With a casual toss, the Soul-Seizing Pearl flew through the air, and an extremely powerful devouring force spread from the pearl, enveloping the souls of dozens of demonic beasts.
Their souls, which had been trying to escape, froze for a moment.
"Roar, I'm not reconciled!"
"I never imagined I would die at the hands of a human brat."
"Awooo, let's die together then!"
Unable to outrun Lu Tao and about to be devoured by the Soul-Seizing Pearl, these demonic beast souls, unwilling to accept defeat, chose to perish together with Lu Tao.
They want to self-destruct again, this time destroying their very souls.
They stared at Lu Tao with bloodlust, madness, and ferocity, ready to self-destruct—
"town!"
However.
As Lu Tao uttered the word "suppress," it was as if a law had descended upon the void, and a powerful divine soul force descended upon the divine souls of the demons, instantly silencing their surging divine souls.
The demons were stunned, somewhat dumbfounded, staring at Lu Tao in disbelief.
"How is that possible?"
"What kind of martial art is this?"
"Why can even the self-destruction of a divine soul be suppressed?"
They couldn't figure it out, so naturally they couldn't get any more answers.
Because, in the moment they were stunned, the Soul-Seizing Pearl directly devoured them all, and Shan Yu began to suppress their souls while consuming them.
As Shan Yu devoured more and more souls, the power of the Soul-Seizing Pearl grew stronger and stronger.
Although these magical beasts all possess perfected divine souls, Shan Yu can quickly devour their souls directly as long as he doesn't absorb their memories.
This process doesn't take long.
As the demonic beast's soul was devoured, dozens of spatial treasures fell into the void and were collected by Lu Tao.
"Brother Lu, over here."
Lu Tao had just finished dealing with nearly a hundred magical beasts when He Yuanshuang called out to him from the other side.
In the distance, He Yuanshuang had just put away the giant ship. In front of her, there were also more than twenty demonic beast souls, which were frantically fleeing into the distance.
They had previously used self-destruction to shatter the encirclement of fireballs and ice beads.
Fortunately, He Yuanshuang did not have the Soul-Seizing Pearl, so she could not devour them, and they still had a chance to escape.
pity.
This opportunity vanished as Lu Tao leaped forward.
"burst!"
The demons looked fierce, intending to self-destruct their souls and take He Yuanshuang away before Lu Tao arrived.
only--
Amidst their despairing expressions, He Yuanshuang calmly uttered the word "zhen" (镇), instantly shattering their plans.
Soul-Suppressing Technique!
This incomplete Heaven-rank martial skill is quite useless, as it can only suppress divine consciousness and cause the soul to self-destruct, without any other function. However, it has brought great help to Lu Tao.
He Yuanshuang naturally fully comprehended this technique.
Previously on the altar, they had gained enough time for enlightenment, and the mere six Heavenly Rank cultivation techniques were more than enough to use.
He Yuanshuang and the others not only mastered many Heaven-rank cultivation techniques, but also mastered high-grade and mid-grade Earth-rank techniques.
"Damn it, why is this happening?"
"It can't even self-destruct, what kind of bullshit martial arts is this?"
"Burn your divine soul!"
The twenty-six demonic beasts went mad. Since they couldn't destroy their own souls and perish together with He Yuanshuang, they burned their souls and fought to their hearts' content.
Instantly, a series of divine soul attacks were launched at He Yuanshuang.
"snort!"
He Yuanshuang merely snorted in response, and the Soul Bell appeared in her Soul Sea, firmly protecting her soul.
At the same time, it controls fireballs and ice beads to directly blast these divine souls.
After separating from the physical body, although the soul was still very strong, it was much weaker. Therefore, under the attacks of fireballs, ice beads, and He Yuanshuang, more than twenty magical beasts were killed one after another.
She didn't even need Lu Tao to lift a finger; she dealt with all the magical beasts on her own.
As the souls of the twenty-six demonic beasts dissipated, the sea became still. In a short time, more than three hundred demonic beasts were all killed by Lu Tao and Yuan Shuang.
Not a single one survived.
"swallow!"
Lu Tao controlled the Soul-Absorbing Pearl, devouring all the fragments of divine souls around him.
After glancing at the army of demonic beasts dozens of miles away, Lu Tao packed up everything, picked up He Yuanshuang around the waist, and flew directly towards the outer edge of the demonic realm.
"Chase after him! Don't let him get away!"
"Pursue him, don't give him time to recover."
"Kill him and reclaim the secret realm!"
In the distance, the remaining demon beasts of the demon race, seeing Lu Tao and his companion slaughter three hundred of their own kind, were filled with rage and gave chase with all their might, not wanting to give Lu Tao a chance to recover.
They wanted to take advantage of Lu Tao's excessive energy expenditure and the damage to the safe house's formation to kill him.
"I'm afraid you won't come after me."
In mid-air, Lu Tao smiled to himself. Once he flew out of the sea, he sent a message to Kong Xin, "Xin'er, ban the sea surface of the Demon Realm."
"Okay, Brother Lu."
Kong Xin responded, and the next instant, a no-fly zone appeared.
Thump, thump—
Caught off guard, nearly seven hundred magical beasts, just as they were about to fly out of the sea, suddenly felt an extremely powerful force acting on them. They were powerless to resist and fell directly into the air.
Just then, Lu Tao and He Yuanshuang reappeared before the demons...
