In the tallest tower of the Emerald Palace, Li Xiu sat quietly against the wall, waiting for something silently.

His body appeared and disappeared, as if there was a bug in an ancient game. His body flickered from time to time, as if he disappeared for a moment and then immediately reappeared in the same place.

Li Xiu is almost unable to control his body and may be promoted to the peerless level at any time.

Jiang Lanling stood by and looked at Li Xiu with a complicated expression. Li Xiu had already told her that they would have the final battle with Li Boyang here, and he could let her leave, but she chose to stay.

Looking at Li Xiu now, Jiang Lanling felt somewhat doubtful. Not to mention a human being, even for a demon spirit, it was almost impossible to be promoted to the peerless level.

Li Xiu clearly showed signs of advancing to a peerless level. The energy overflowing from his body alone was enough to make her feel extremely terrified.

But Li Xiu was still suppressing his own energy, as if he was unwilling to be promoted to the peerless level.

"It's still not too late for you to leave now." Li Xiu lowered his eyebrows and said calmly.

"I want to witness this battle with my own eyes." Jiang Lanling was unwilling to explain anything, but his eyes were as firm as iron.

"Whatever." Li Xiu said calmly, no longer suppressing the energy in his body. In fact, he could no longer suppress it.

boom!

On Li Xiu's body, a bloody red color shot up into the sky and turned into a blood curtain covering the sky, dyeing the heaven and earth blood-red in an instant.

The Emerald Royal Court turned into the Bloody Royal Court, and everything was dyed blood.

That is not the color of the surface. Even if the entire castle is cut open, the inside will still be bloody.

Jiang Lanling felt a little scared and subconsciously wanted to retreat, but her body was completely out of control. She clearly wanted to stay away from Li Xiu, but she couldn't help but walk towards Li Xiu.

Jiang Lanling's face changed drastically. She wanted to condense the emerald light, but something even more terrifying happened. The light energy in her body seemed to have disappeared. No matter how she summoned it, there was no movement. At this moment, she seemed to have become a mortal who had never practiced.

"Is this peerless power?" Jiang Lanling's fear was beyond words at this moment. Li Xiu's current power was beyond her comprehension.

The creaking sound of a door interrupted Jiang Lanling's thoughts. The door of the Bloody Royal Court was pushed open and a figure walked in slowly.

"Li Boyang." Jiang Lanling knew that Li Boyang would come, but when he actually saw him, he still couldn't help gritting his teeth, and his expression was complicated and incomprehensible.

Rhythmic footsteps sounded, and soon, Li Boyang, who looked like a thin old man, walked up the tower and came in front of Li Xiu and Jiang Lanling.

"Lan Fei, you shouldn't be here." Li Boyang glanced at Jiang Lanling and said lightly.

"I want to watch you die." Jiang Lanling said gritting his teeth.

Li Boyang didn't say anything else, nor did he look at Jiang Lanling again. His eyes fell on Li Xiu and he said with a smile, "You are faster than I expected. If you stay safe and don't enter the trial ground again, you still have some time to enjoy. Unfortunately, you are too stubborn and have killed too many demons."

"It's the same whether it's morning or night. There's no difference." Li Xiu still sat against the wall, with no intention of standing up. He just looked at Li Boyang and said, "Today, between you and me, is it possible for only one person to survive?"

"It's not that only one of us can survive, but that only I can survive." Li Boyang said with narrowed eyes.

Li Xiu smiled slightly: "In that case, can you answer a question for me?"

"You always ask a lot of questions, which are a bit annoying." Li Boyang changed the subject and said, "But today is a special day, I can fulfill your wish."

"Who is Tang Tianzhen?" Li Xiu asked calmly, not caring about what Li Boyang said.

Li Boyang seemed to have expected Li Xiu to ask this question, and said with a smile: "You guessed right, because of his existence, I was able to get the news about Han Linger."

"This is not my question. I'm asking you, who is he?" Li Xiu said calmly.

He had already guessed some of what Li Boyang said.

"To you, he should be considered the God of Creation." Li Boyang's answer made Li Xiu frown slightly.

"The God of Creation?" Li Xiu felt that this answer did not satisfy him.

"I know you don't believe it. How could the world be created by one person? If it is a real world, of course it cannot be created by one person, but this world is too primitive." Li Boyang said slowly: "Think about Tang Tianzhen's name in reverse."

"Tang Tianzhen...Zhen Tian Tang...Zhen Tiantang..." Li Xiu chanted silently.

"Yes, he wants to turn this world into a real paradise. Unfortunately, I'm here." Li Boyang said with a smile.

"Is he from your world?" Li Xiu sighed.

"It can only be considered half." Li Boyang's words were a little confusing.

"Why can it only be considered half?" The light energy on Li Xiu's body was still flickering. In addition to the blood-red color, there was also red and blue light energy constantly overflowing.

"This question is very complicated and difficult to explain clearly. You can also understand that he and I are from the same place." Li Boyang seemed unwilling to explain too much.

Li Xiu stood up slowly. The light energy on his body radiated outward more uncontrollably with his movements. The red and blue light energy intertwined together and merged into a purple light, as if a layer of light film was coated on his body.

"I know you won't give up unless you try. So come on, I also want to know what level of life forms this incomplete world can create." Li Boyang said as he tore off his robe, and his shriveled body swelled up and turned into a strong muscular monster.

Lines of pressure lines pressed against his muscles, like the mark of life branded on his body.

"I also want to know how strong the people in that world are." Li Xiu's mind moved, and blood flowers bloomed like flowers.

The entire castle seemed to be wrapped in a blood-colored forbidden flower. The deep red color made the blood curtain that originally covered the sky seem a little lighter.

Jiang Lanling saw a horrifying sight. Under the deep red forbidden power, the space seemed to become chaotic. The entire castle seemed to be strangled by an invisible force. The incomparably hard Emerald Castle shattered into neat pieces, and the pieces were broken into even smaller pieces. The whole process was repeated over and over again. In just a moment, the Emerald Royal Court had become ruins.

Jiang Lanling knew that it was not that Li Xiu intended to destroy the Emerald King's Court, but that his power interfered with the rules of the world, causing the rules of the world to become disordered. Objects that originally existed because of the rules of the world were naturally disordered and destroyed due to the destruction of the rules.

Li Boyang stood in the midst of the constantly shattering pieces, but he just watched everything being destroyed quietly, but his body was not affected.

"The forbidden light is indeed the top power in this world. After breaking through the restrictions of rules, its ability is truly terrifying. Such forbidden power is enough to strip away any substance that is imprisoned in the world. However, such power cannot hurt me. I have already broken all taboos." Li Boyang said lightly.

"Really?" Li Xiu raised his right arm, curled three fingers, spread his index finger and thumb in an L shape, and pointed his entire palm at Li Boyang like a gun.

"Bang!" Li Xiu's palm shook as if he was firing a gun, and he made a gunshot sound with his mouth.

To Jiang Lanling, this was just like a child playing house.

But Li Boyang's head suddenly tilted back, his body bent backward into an arch shape, and the back of his head almost touched the ground.

Between his eyebrows, there appeared a dent like a bullet hole, still emitting smoke.

Jiang Lanling was shocked. She didn't see any light appearing on Li Xiu's fingers at all, and had no idea how Li Boyang was hit in the center of his eyebrows.

Of course, what shocked her was not that Li Boyang was hit, but that blood was slowly oozing out of the bullet hole between his eyebrows. This was the first time she saw Li Boyang injured.

The Demon Emperor, who swept across the Demon Kingdom, was almost invincible and could cover the sky with one hand, was actually injured by Li Xiu's attack, which was like a child playing house.

Li Xiu looked at the injured Li Boyang, but there was no joy in his heart. Li Boyang's feet stood still, his body tilted in a strange shape.

The next second, Li Boyang's body straightened up instantly, like a bowstring that had been bent and bounced back.

The sunken area between his eyebrows that was injured suddenly bounced back in an instant and returned to normal without any trace of injury.

"Yes, since you can injure my body, your strength can barely be considered top-notch in this world. However, it's still a little short of it. Keep going." Li Boyang looked at Li Xiu without a trace of anger or annoyance, but full of eager anticipation.

Li Xiu knew what he meant by "continue". It did not mean for him to continue attacking. Li Xiu was also very clear that even after the forbidden power broke through the rules of the world, it still could not really hurt Li Boyang. His body was too strong.

"Then let's continue." Li Xiu had no time to hesitate and lifted the restrictions. The Evil Spirit Card instantly broke the rules.

Unlike the Forbidden Light, after the Evil Spirit Card broke through the restrictions, it did not burst out with strong brilliance, nor did it shake the rules of the world, and in fact, nothing changed.

However, Li Xiu's entire body was glowing with a mysterious purple halo, which was hazy and unclear, making him look like a purple ghost, as if he was not a real living being in this world.

"Bang!" Li Xiu fired his pistol at Li Boyang again.

But this time, Li Boyang's body did not lean back. Instead, a purple bullet hole appeared directly on his head, with purple light flowing in the hole.

In just a moment, the purple light flowing out from the bullet hole enveloped Li Boyang's whole body, as if a blazing purple flame enveloped his whole body, and in an instant his body was burned into charcoal-like black.

"Dead!" Jiang Lanling's expression was complicated.

The purple flame reminded Jiang Lanling of the most terrifying legend in the Demon Kingdom.

The lifespan of demons themselves is almost unlimited, unlike that of humans, which is short.

But demons also die, but unlike humans, the death of demons is not aging, but a catastrophe.

When the life of an evil spirit is over, no matter how powerful it is, even if it has the ability to destroy the world, it will suddenly spontaneously combust, and countless purple flames will appear in its body, burning its soul to pieces. All its energy will return to heaven and earth, and not even a trace will be left.

No one knew where the purple flames came from, and no one knew why they were created. All they knew was that when the purple flames appeared, some demons would burn themselves to death, without any surprises.

For those demons that self-immolated, it was a disaster, but for other demons, it was a feast of life evolution.

Where the purple flame self-immolates, the light energy in the nearby area will surge unprecedentedly. If weak demons can stay in that area for a period of time, they will evolve continuously in a short period of time. Not only their levels, but also their quality and embryo qualities will be enhanced to varying degrees.

Even some powerful demons can be strengthened to varying degrees in that area.

Legend has it that in the history of the Demon Kingdom, there was once a peerless demon who burned himself to death. In the area where he died, some demon races that were originally very weak and even had difficulty in giving birth to light, became powerful clans that dominated the area in just a thousand years.

Therefore, in the kingdom of demons, the demons call this catastrophe of self-immolation a sacrifice of life. When one demon dies, thousands of demons are born. This is one of the great miracles of the kingdom of demons.

Li Xiu's power looks like the legendary purple flame no matter how you look at it.

Seeing Li Boyang's body being burned into charcoal, and the charred body still peeling off layer by layer, Jiang Lanling's expression became more and more complicated.

She had always wanted to cut Li Boyang into pieces and kill him with her own hands, but when Li Boyang was really about to die, she did not feel any joy in her heart, nor was she as happy as she had imagined.

The charred black matter that fell from Li Boyang's body turned into ashes before it even hit the ground, floating in the air and disappearing in an instant.

Under the burning of the purple flame, layer after layer of charred skin peeled off. Jiang Lanling originally thought that Li Boyang would be burned to death, but as the charred skin peeled off, the crystal white skin was revealed inside.

Snap! Snap!

The charred black skin kept falling off, revealing more and more crystal clear skin. Soon, Li Boyang's figure was revealed again.

However, Li Boyang at this moment was completely different from his previous image. If Jiang Lanling had not seen Li Boyang's appearance when he was young, he would have been unable to recognize that this was Li Boyang.

At this time, Li Boyang no longer looked like the thin old man, nor was he as strong as the muscular monster.

His skin was as crystal clear as jade, his eyes were like flawless deep gems, his long hair was loose and each strand was shiny black, his figure was slender, and his muscles were in a perfectly streamlined shape, like a pure god from mythology.

Li Boyang, who seemed to be born with a divine body, slightly opened his lips. The purple flame outside his body was like a stream of water, which was sucked into his stomach. A misty purple gas emanated from his body, pouring out from thousands of pores like clouds and mist, and attached to his body like clothes and robes.

“The Soul-Suppressing Stone is the ultimate of life, Purgatory is the ultimate of death, the wheel of life and death, yin and yang become one, I want to thank you for letting me break free from the shackles of this world.” A smile appeared on Li Boyang’s handsome face that looked like a god.

Li Xiu looked at Li Boyang. Even though they were enemies, he had to admit that Li Boyang was truly a rare man in the world.

With such looks and temperament, it is no wonder that he can deceive so many women of different races into falling head over heels for him. Even though they know it is a trap, they are willing to throw themselves into the fire and give birth to his offspring.

"Is this your true face?" Li Xiu looked at Li Boyang and was not surprised.

After the Soul-Suppressing Stone was broken into four parts, he absorbed three of them, and the other one was with Li Boyang.

Li Xiu possessed both the Evil Spirit Card and the Spirit-Suppressing Stone. He had long known that there was a connection between the Evil Spirit Card and the Spirit-Suppressing Stone.

Li Boyang nodded slightly. Maybe it was because of the change in appearance and temperament, but no matter what Li Boyang did, he no longer looked wretched. It always made people feel that no matter what he did, it was justified.

"I once told you that I stayed in another prison for a while, where I met a man. He was just like you, a mortal. I didn't take him seriously at first, but after communicating with him, he said some truths that even shocked me. Those truths, even in my world, can be said to be profound truths. A mortal could actually understand that level. I have to say that he is an anomaly in the world. Unfortunately, he is just a mortal after all. Even if his realm is extraordinary, he still can't avoid death."

"I am a prisoner. I am ashamed to use my previous name. However, I admire him very much, so I inherited his name, and the name Li Boyang comes from this." Li Boyang looked at Li Xiu calmly and said, "The Tao gave birth to one, one gave birth to two, two gave birth to three, and three gave birth to all things. All things bear the yin and embrace the yang, and the rushing qi makes them harmonious. The heaven and the earth have the Tao, and the Tao is divided into yin and yang. The balance of yin and yang gives birth to all things. I am not an existence of this world. To this world, I am an external object that destroys the balance of yin and yang, and I am abandoned by the heaven and the earth. Only the harmony of yin and yang can follow the way of heaven to remove the shackles. The Soul-Suppressing Stone is the extreme yang of this world, and the power of purgatory is the extreme yin. Only these two powers can prevent me from being abandoned by the heaven and the earth."

"If I could meet this kind of person and listen to his advice, it would be the end of my life," Li Xiu exclaimed.

"After you go, I will write down what he said in a book and burn it for you." Li Boyang said with deep approval.

"I won't read the book for now. I want to live more than reading." Li Xiu said, and the light energy on his body burst out again.

However, this time the burst of light energy was completely different from the previous two times. Li Xiu's body flickered more and more violently, appearing and disappearing from time to time, and gradually became transparent. Through his body, one could clearly see the scene behind him, and finally he disappeared completely.

This is not the end yet. With the explosion of light energy, Li Xiu's body gradually reappeared, then disappeared and slowly became solid, reappearing in the sight of Li Boyang and Jiang Lanling. Finally, his body completely recovered to normal, without any glow on his body, just like an ordinary person with mortal body.

Li Boyang looked at the changes in Li Xiu, and the smile on his lips became more and more intense. This was the moment he had been waiting for.

Li Xiu, truly promoted to the peerless level.
