Countless threads of light emerged from Li Xiu's body, and each thread of light was connected to a cell in Li Xiu's body. In just a moment, Li Xiu's body was completely wrapped in the threads of light, like a giant silk cocoon.

What was even more terrifying was that more threads of light extended in all directions and instantly pierced the light shield formed by the combined efforts of the sixteen ancestral spirits.

The expressions of the sixteen ancestral spirits including Bellona changed at the same time, with horror in their eyes.

"Soul-devouring power... retreat..." the gentleman ancestor spirit said angrily.

Needless to say, the sixteen ancestral spirits all wanted to retract their strength and retreat, but at the same time they were horrified to find that their will seemed out of their control. They clearly wanted to retract their strength and retreat, but their bodies seemed to be resisting their will and making it impossible for them to retreat.

They all knew very well that it was not their bodies that were resisting their will, but their will was affected by the Soul Devourer.

Countless threads of light penetrated into the light shield. In just a moment, they had covered the light shield like a spider web and finally connected to the bodies of the sixteen ancestral spirits.

The sixteen ancestral spirits were both shocked and angry. They desperately tried to break free, roaring in unison: "Li Xiu... don't be controlled by the Devouring Spirit... wake up..."

Their souls seemed to be pierced by threads of light, and they were like Tiss puppets, unable to control their bodies.

"The Soul Devourer's power is stronger than before!" Bellona said in surprise when she saw that she couldn't wake Li Xiu up.

"Li Boyang is too vicious. After being transformed by him, the Soul Devourer almost merged with Li Xiu's body. Every time Li Xiu grows, the Soul Devourer will grow with him. All the power he absorbs, the Soul Devourer also gains the same power. Now that Li Xiu has merged with the Soul-Suppressing Stone, the Soul Devourer has also gained the power of the Soul-Suppressing Stone. His Soul Devourer power is no longer the original Soul Devourer power. The current Soul Devourer can control the entire world..." The gentleman ancestor's face was extremely ugly.

In fact, he didn't need to say anything, as the other ancestral spirits had already discovered it.

Countless threads of light passed through the light shield and extended to every corner of the world. Countless demons were connected to a thread of light, and they seemed to have become puppets. Their spiritual consciousness was invaded and devoured, and they could not control their bodies.

The Soul Devourer was originally able to devour spiritual consciousness, but it could never devour the spiritual consciousness of all living beings in the world like this. However, now that it has merged the power of Li Xiu and the Soul-Suppressing Stone, the entire world in front of it is like a huge puppet theater, and all the puppets have become its marionettes, allowing it to invade spiritual consciousness along the light threads and extract souls.

As the spiritual consciousness of billions of demons were continuously extracted and flowed towards the light cocoon along the light threads, the light cocoon became more and more bizarre, as if it had life, wriggling like a heart, and as it expanded and contracted, a strange light inside flickered.

Even a warrior as powerful as the ancestor spirit could not escape the light threads. He exploded desperately again and again, roaring earth-shakingly, but it was all in vain. His mind began to become unclear.

They were too close to Li Xiu, and their souls were being extracted too severely, so they were completely unable to break free.

After Li Xiu was attacked by the Soul Devourer, his body continued to merge with the Soul Devourer and he rose to a new level, already half a step away from the cosmic level.

The Soul Devourer that devoured Li Xiu's consciousness gained control. It wanted to use the power of all living beings in the world to break through to the cosmic level.

Li Boyang looked at this scene, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and he slowly walked towards the light cocoon that Li Xiu had transformed into.

"He hasn't been promoted to the cosmic level yet. It's too early to go there now." A voice made Li Boyang stop walking towards Li Xiu.

Turning around, I saw Tang Tianzhen, who was extremely handsome. Even though he didn't have any brilliance on him, he still seemed to be emitting a godly glow. He walked towards me without me noticing when.

"Do I still need you to teach me how to do things?" Li Boyang ignored Tang Tianzhen and continued to walk towards Li Xiu.

But Tang Tianzhen stood in front of Li Boyang and said with a smile: "The evolution of this world is incomplete because of you. The Soul-Suppressing Stone has been divided between you and Li Xiu. There is no possibility of further evolution. Only by letting the Soul Devourer devour billions of lives can it be possible to ascend to the stage of the universe."

"I know my limits. I don't need you to remind me." Li Boyang snorted coldly. Purple air burst out of his body like a torrent, and he rushed towards Tang Tianzhen like a real dragon that swallowed the world.

Bang!

Tang Tianzhen threw a punch casually. There was no light on his fist, but with just a light punch, he shattered the purple energy that swallowed the sky and the earth, and it instantly dissipated between heaven and earth.

Li Boyang's eyes narrowed slightly: "You are not a prisoner!"

"When did I say I was a prisoner?" Tang Tianzhen said indifferently.

"You are the law enforcer..." Li Boyang asked Tang Tianzhen coldly.

"No." Tang Tianzhen shook his head slightly: "Like you, I was once an evolver."

"Since we are both evolvers, you are naturally a prisoner when you come here. Why do you have to put it in such nice words?" Li Boyang said.

Tang Tianzhen smiled and said, "It's different. The winner is the king and the loser is the prisoner. Only those who are defeated are prisoners. I have never been defeated, so I am naturally not a prisoner."

"You have never been defeated, so why are you here?" Li Boyang snorted coldly.

"I have never lied to you. Didn't I tell you a long time ago that I came from the main universe? But unlike you, you are an exiled prisoner, and I came here by myself." Tang Tianzhen said with a smile.

"Ridiculous! Even if you have never been defeated, you are still an evolver after all. The price you paid to enter the microcosm is no different from that of a prisoner. If you really have never been defeated, would you come here by yourself?" Li Boyang stared at Tang Tianzhen, not believing what he said.

"The pursuit of a winner is not something a loser like you can understand. I naturally have my reasons for coming here. Whether you believe it or not, it has nothing to do with me." Tang Tianzhen said with a smile.

"In that case, you and I will keep our distance, and the previous agreement is still valid. After the door is opened, it is your business to leave or stay. Don't come to hinder me." Li Boyang said as he continued to walk towards the light cocoon.

"The door must be opened, but what I want is not just to open the door to the world." Tang Tianzhen stopped Li Boyang again.

"What else do you want?" Li Boyang narrowed his eyes and stared at Tang Tianzhen.

"I want to watch this world from birth to death." Tang Tianzhen said slowly.

Li Boyang looked at Tang Tianzhen for a long time and suddenly laughed: "I see, it seems that you don't have the confidence to win."

Tang Tianzhen smiled and said, "It seems that you have understood. Then just watch from here. This will also benefit you."

"You're right. Being able to observe the birth and death of a universe is indeed of great benefit to me." Li Boyang said with a smile, but suddenly his face darkened and he snorted coldly: "But I don't like being controlled by others. If you let me watch, do I have to watch it?"

As he spoke, Li Boyang moved slightly, and instantly appeared in front of Tang Tianzhen, punching Tang Tianzhen in the face.

"I can do whatever I want. It's not your turn to point fingers here." Li Boyang's eyes were cold and his fist had already hit Tang Tianzhen's face.

Tang Tianzhen's face was distorted by the pressure of the fist, but his body stood there motionless.

His face was distorted and deformed, and his neck twisted rapidly. His entire head was hit by the punch and turned a strange circle, like a twisted dough stick.

But Tang Tianzhen still had a smile on his face, but the smile looked weird and scary on his twisted face.

Bang!

Tang Tianzhen's head bounced back like a rubber band, and Li Boyang's fist was actually shaken back, and his body involuntarily took several steps back.

"It is a great fate that you and I can be here together. For the sake of this fate, I will not bother with you. Don't make the mistake of mistakenly making a mistake." Tang Tianzhen said with a smile.

"I like to make mistakes myself." Li Boyang's long hair danced wildly and he stood there as if he had never moved.

However, dents appeared one after another on Tang Tianzhen's body. His head, face, chest, arms, and legs were like being hammered by invisible fists, forming fist-shaped dents.

With the last punch, Tang Tianzhen’s face was completely sunken, and Li Boyang’s entire fist was embedded in it.

Bang!

The next second, Li Boyang's face changed, his fist was violently bounced back, and his body flew thousands of miles involuntarily.

Tang Tianzhen was still standing there, but all the dents on his body bounced back in an instant, returning to his original appearance.

"I don't want to argue too much with a loser. Besides, don't you always want to return to the main universe and start over? This will benefit you in every way. Don't seek death." Tang Tianzhen still spoke calmly, as if he was not annoyed at all.

"I've said it before, I hate people telling me what to do the most. If you want me to listen to you, then let me see if you are qualified." As Li Boyang spoke, the purple aura on his body became thicker and thicker, like thousands of rays of light, or like countless purple dragons hanging down. It seemed that there was an endless amount of purple aura between heaven and earth converging towards Li Boyang.

"Although you don't know me, I know you." Tang Tianzhen remained calm as ever, looking at Li Boyang with a pair of calm eyes and said, "Born to experience disasters, purple energy came from the east, a true dragon entered his body, and he has never been defeated in hundreds of battles since his debut. He is known as the Purple Dragon Son of Heaven. If he hadn't met the undefeated man, he wouldn't have become a prisoner."

"You are very clear about it." The purple aura on Li Boyang's body became stronger and stronger, and the whole world seemed to be under his feet. He looked down at Tang Tianzhen.

"I just want to tell you that your Purple Qi Coming from the East cannot defeat that undefeated man, and you can't defeat me either, so why waste your energy?" Tang Tianzhen said.

"Really?" Li Boyang's eyes narrowed, and the purple energy on his body suddenly surged up, transforming into countless purple energy dragons that fell towards Tang Tianzhen.

boom!

Rays of purple dragons fell, and in an instant the sky and earth collapsed. The light shield formed by the combined power of the sixteen ancestral spirits was shattered in an instant.

Bellona and the other sixteen ancestral spirits were shaken by the terrifying force and flew in all directions, and it was unknown how many light years they flew.

At the place where thousands of dragons were bombarding, Tang Tianzhen held up the sky with one hand, and the endless purple air was blocked outside that palm, unable to hurt it at all.

This scene was shocking. Such a devastating blow was so severe that even Tang Tianzhen's palm could not break through it.

A sly smile flashed in Li Boyang's eyes. He appeared next to the light cocoon and punched it.

Just as his punch was about to hit the light cocoon, a flash of white suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

Tang Tianzhen, dressed in a white robe, appeared in front of Li Boyang at some point. He met Li Boyang's fist with one hand and grabbed it.

"If you want to commit suicide, I will..." Tang Tianzhen's expression suddenly changed before he finished speaking.

The fist that Li Boyang was holding suddenly burst out with unimaginable power again, blasting Tang Tianzhen's body away.

Tang Tianzhen's body flew backwards like a meteor and hit the light cocoon hard, causing the light cocoon to shake. Countless light threads also swayed continuously, and pieces of light threads broke into pieces.

"Even if you are really an undefeated evolver, so what? I am going to return to the main universe, and naturally I have to fight the undefeated man again. I don't even take him seriously, let alone you." Li Boyang looked at Tang Tianzhen and said contemptuously.

"The Purple Dragon Emperor is worthy of being the Purple Dragon Emperor. It was I who underestimated you." Tang Tianzhen slowly stood up and left the light cocoon. The look in his eyes when he looked at Li Boyang finally showed some seriousness.

"Emperor Zilong died at the moment of his defeat. Now there is only Li Boyang in the world. Leave your real name. Under the three words Li Boyang, no nameless person will be killed." Li Boyang said lightly.

"Tang was my last name before I entered the main universe. I was named Tianzhen in the main universe, so the name Tang Tianzhen is real." Tang Tianzhen said.

"Tian... Zhen..." Li Boyang silently recited these two words, his eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Tang Tianzhen and said, "Are you the founder of the Tian Zhen Wu Xie School?"

“The Innocence Flow is indeed the main universe I brought to, but I don’t deserve the title of founder. It is the foundation of the destiny, civilization, and inheritance of a universe. It is the crystallization of the wisdom of countless generations of creatures. I just became its spokesperson at the right time.” Tang Tianzhen said.

Li Boyang looked at Tang Tianzhen, suddenly turned around and left without saying a word, disappearing in an instant.

Tang Tianzhen immediately realized something, and his body exerted force and disappeared. When he reappeared, he had already reached the entrance of the Emerald Tunnel.

"The time has not come yet...you'd better stay here..." Before Tang Tianzhen finished his words, Li Boyang appeared under the light cocoon. He held up the light cocoon with one hand, turned his hand and pressed it, and rushed towards Tang Tianzhen like a meteor.

Tang Tianzhen's eyes gradually turned cold: "Do you think you can rush into the time tunnel like this?"

He had no intention of backing down. He reached out to the light cocoon with one hand and pressed it on the light cocoon that was flying towards him like a meteor.

The strange power passed through the light cocoon and acted on Li Boyang's palm. Li Boyang squinted his eyes and smiled more deeply. His long hair was flying and the purple energy on his body was as deep as a dragon.

What Tang Tianzhen didn't expect was that Li Boyang slapped the bottom of the light cocoon with his other palm and actually pushed the light cocoon into the sky.

There was no longer any obstacle between the two of them. Li Boyang showed a strange smile and rushed towards Tang Tianzhen, directly hitting Tang Tianzhen. The two of them fell into the time tunnel together and disappeared in an instant.

Bellona and fifteen other ancestral spirits broke through the air and returned to the light cocoon. The ancestral spirits looked at each other in bewilderment.

They all saw what happened just now and heard the conversation between Li Boyang and Tang Tianzhen, but they still couldn't understand why the two of them would fight each other.

"Now is not the time to study those things. While they haven't decided the winner yet, we must immediately stop the Soul Devourer from devouring the world's creatures, otherwise our world will really be doomed." The old man Zu Ling, who was smoking a pipe, said to the light cocoon.

"That's true." Bellona also looked at the light cocoon and said, "It was not difficult for us to break the Soul Devouring power together, but now it has merged with the power of the Soul Suppression Stone and Li Xiu, and it is difficult to cut it off. If Li Boyang hadn't shattered the light shield and the Soul Devouring silk that connected it, we would have found it difficult to escape now."

"No matter how difficult it is, we have to give it a try. Are we just going to watch the world being destroyed? Besides, no matter who comes out later, it will be a big trouble for us. We must get rid of the Soul Eater before they come out." The old man snorted coldly.

"Of course not. What I mean is, how are we going to cut off the Soul Devouring Silk? Li Boyang was able to shatter the Soul Devouring Silk because he is connected to the Soul Devouring. How are we going to cut it off?" Bellona rolled her eyes.

"Then we can only use the light of our ancestors." said the old man.

"No...if that's the case, wouldn't that mean Li Xiu would be killed as well..." Bellona immediately rejected the old man's proposal.

"Do you have any better idea than this?" the old man snorted coldly.

"No matter what, Li Xiu cannot be allowed to die." Bellona looked at the old man without giving in.

"He already has no chance of survival. Even if we don't kill him, his consciousness has been devoured by the Soul Devourer. Even if his body is still there, it is no longer him. What's more, we have no way to separate the Soul Devourer from his body." said the old man.

Bellona couldn't help but fall silent. She also knew that the old man was right. Li Xiu's soul was probably completely devoured by the Devouring Spirit after it directly entered his body and possessed him. Even if the Devouring Spirit and Li Xiu were forcibly separated, the best case scenario for Li Xiu would be just an empty shell without a soul, which would be no different from death.

What's more, they have no way to separate the two, and killing them together seems to be the only way now.

"Don't hesitate any longer. Once that Soul Devourer succeeds in its promotion, even if we use the Ancestral Spirit's Light together, it will be difficult to kill it. Li Xiu's death will then be even more meaningless." The old man urged.

The ancestral spirits looked at each other, and they had already made up their minds, knowing that this was their last chance.

"Come on then." Bellona looked at the light cocoon helplessly.

All the ancestral spirits nodded in unison, and the sixteen ancestral spirits each surrounded the light cocoon according to a direction.

A divine light flickered from the chest of each of the sixteen ancestral spirits, making their chests like furnaces. The light inside burned brighter and brighter until their entire bodies were lit up. The light of the ancestral spirits flickered like a torch.

Sixteen rays of light continued to rise, gradually merged into one, and turned into a bright sun that wrapped the light cocoon inside and continued to burn.

The scorching sun grew brighter and brighter, and soon it illuminated the entire Demon Kingdom. Even the darkest bottomless pit in the Demon Kingdom was illuminated by the light as if it were daytime.

In the boundless kingdom of demons, all the demons are gazing at the scorching sun in the sky, with fear and panic, as well as surprise and hope in their eyes.

Under the constant burning of the ancestral light, the soul-devouring threads connecting countless demon souls began to break one by one.

When the sixteen ancestral spirits and many demon spirits were rejoicing, they saw a figure walking out of the time tunnel.
