Chapter 745: The Abnormal Great Demon

~11 min read 2,188 words

Li Yi was currently weaving through the battlefield. Wherever he passed, no one dared to cross his path. Great Demons and cultivators could only flee at the mere sight of him, for they knew very well that encountering Li Yi meant certain death.

But while they wanted to run, the Evolvers would not allow it. They fought tooth and nail to entangle them, preventing them from pulling away and creating opportunities for Li Yi to strike them down.

A beam of crimson-gold divine light slashed in from afar, tearing through the firmament and striking toward a mid-stage Mahayana cultivator.

This cultivator had originally intended to escape the battlefield, but he had been interfered with by He Zhiming, causing him to miss the prime opportunity to flee. Consequently, when Li Yi's attack arrived, the Mahayana cultivator could only roar, howl, and even curse in his unwillingness.

Yet, it was to no avail.

As the crimson-gold divine light swept past, this powerful Mahayana enemy was instantly routed, leaving not even bones behind.

"Li Yi, well done." He Zhiming was covered in wounds and panting, but seeing such a clean and decisive strike take out a Mahayana cultivator, he couldn't help but shout in praise.

Li Yi did not respond. Stepping on a cloud of auspicious light, he had already flown away from there, heading toward another part of the battlefield.

He Zhiming did not remain idle either; he immediately flew toward the nearest comrade to continue supporting the others.

This was the chain reaction.

Every time Li Yi killed an enemy, the Evolvers were not only relieved of danger but were also freed up to support others.

In one-on-one combat, the Evolvers might not be a match for Great Demons and Mahayana cultivators, but if two or three joined forces, that might not be the case—plus, many on the battlefield had begun to rout.

In just a short moment, the war seemed to have ended; there were very few people left fighting and slaughtering.

Li Yi looked around, only to find that he couldn't find any enemies for a moment.

"Have the rest of them run away?"

His gaze flickered as he sensed the aura between heaven and earth. He discovered that many enemy auras had already moved far from the battlefield, scattered sporadically in various places.

Moreover, some auras were gradually disappearing.

Clearly, the Mahayana cultivators were all doing their best to hide themselves to avoid being discovered.

"Li Yi, it's fine here; I don't need support."

Liu Yunbai was currently standing in mid-air with three teammates nearby, and on the ground lay the dismembered corpse of a Great Demon.

Although they were in a sorry state, having joined forces, the four of them had won this localized battle.

"The enemies on the battlefield are almost gone; they have all fled." Li Yi stopped the auspicious cloud beneath his feet and spoke.

Liu Yunbai was stunned for a moment, then he swept his spiritual sense across the nearby battlefield and found it was indeed so. He immediately said, "They routed so quickly? Li Yi, don't worry. Once a war begins, it must last at least twelve hours before it can end. During this period, they dare not flee the battlefield, otherwise, the powerhouses of the three sides can directly kill any deserters."

"We still have eleven hours to slowly hunt them down; they won't be able to escape."

"So that's how it is. That's good then." Li Yi nodded slightly.

No wonder the enemy's auras were still lingering on the battlefield; it turned out they didn't want to run, but didn't dare to.

"However, if we want to hunt them down, we must be careful. If we get close to the Profound Heaven Continent or the Demon God Realm's base, I worry that Human Immortal Realm cultivators and Demon Kings will intervene." Liu Yunbai then lowered his voice.

"Li Yi, if the enemies get too close to the base, don't go over. If they disregard martial ethics and strike at you, it would be dangerous. So, after the battle here ends completely, our squads will gather, confirm the headcount, and then go hunt them down. You just need to retreat to the vicinity of the Black Great Wall."

His plan was very comprehensive; he didn't want a top-tier combat force like Li Yi to run into trouble. Therefore, once it was certain that this war could be won, Li Yi should no longer show himself.

"Alright, I understand. I'll take one more turn, and if there are no more enemies, I'll retreat and rest."

Li Yi nodded slightly and did not continue to show off his might; after all, what Liu Yunbai said was indeed reasonable.

If the enemy's Demon Kings or Immortals entered the fray out of desperation, it would be disastrous.

"Wait."

Just as Li Yi was about to leave, Liu Yunbai's expression suddenly shifted. He looked in another direction and immediately said, "Li Yi, something is wrong. A Great Demon is charging this way, and it seems the target... is you."

"I felt it. A very strong demonic aura. It should be a peak Great Demon enemy, but there is only one. Now that the overall situation is settled, a single peak Great Demon cannot stir up any waves. I will go and slay it."

Li Yi gripped his crimson-gold Star-Shattering Spear, preparing to meet the Great Demon.

"No, Li Yi, don't worry about this Great Demon. Stay far away from it. In this situation, for a Great Demon not to flee but instead actively seek you out, there is definitely a problem. I will take a few comrades to intercept it and see what the situation is."

Liu Yunbai's gaze flickered. While stopping Li Yi, he called out to three comrades and immediately flew toward the distance.

"Be careful. I will support you from afar."

Li Yi did not refuse this good intention. His figure flickered, turning into clouds and mist, and he disappeared. While concealing his aura, he put away his spear and took out the Treasure Moon Bow, ready to act at any moment.

Liu Yunbai and the three powerful Evolvers had only flown a short distance forward when they saw a White Elephant Great Demon, filled with killing intent, flying toward them head-on. However, this Great Demon had experienced a battle earlier; its aura was fluctuating, and its demonic power was severely depleted.

"The opponent is the Great Demon Treasure Elephant, one of the three leaders of this Demon God Realm force. Ye Jingtian was responsible for intercepting it before. Now that it has broken away and charged over, could something have happened to Ye Jingtian?" Liu Yunbai frowned.

"There's no time to investigate Ye Jingtian's situation now. This Great Demon really looks wrong; it ignored everyone else along the way and charged straight here. It might really be aiming for Li Yi," said an Evolver named Qi Xiong nearby.

"The enemy is in a bad state, so let the four of us surround and kill it here. Don't let Li Yi show himself, lest some accident really happens," another Evolver said.

They were not newcomers to the battlefield; those who could survive had high combat awareness.

"Alright, let's do it." Liu Yunbai nodded slightly. The next moment.

The four joined forces, the cosmic energy within their bodies blooming, flickering on the battlefield like stars.

Despite their severe depletion, they gave their all, unleashing a peak strike, intending to crush this Great Demon with the power of four.

"Get lost!"

Seeing the four Evolvers blocking the way, the Great Demon Treasure Elephant was incomparably furious. It had no time to waste with these people now. The giant club in its hand swung again, and terrifying demonic power poured out. Interwoven with Dao marks, it transformed into a white divine elephant stepping on mountains and rivers.

As this divine elephant roared, its divine power erupted, meeting the four of them.

Boom!

The battlefield, which was about to fall into calm, was once again stirred into turmoil. Energy and demonic power collided, and a massive explosion occurred in this area, intending to destroy everything.

"Careful."

Seeing this, Liu Yunbai hurriedly defended against the vast aftermath.

The combat power of a peak Great Demon was indeed terrifying. Under the eruption of this strike, even though Liu Yunbai, Qi Xiong, and the other two Evolvers had intentionally prepared, they were still swept by the opponent's demonic power. A mouthful of blood sprayed out, and the four of them flew backward together.

Fortunately, the few of them only added a few more wounds and were not in mortal danger.

"The opponent really has a problem; they are very anxious to crush us, starting with a full-power burst. But unfortunately, with the four of us joining forces, they can't do anything to us," Liu Yunbai said calmly, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

As the aftermath dissipated.

Seeing that the four opponents were still unharmed, the Great Demon Treasure Elephant was instantly furious. It hadn't found Li Yi yet and couldn't afford to drag this out, because other Evolvers were already flying toward this side. If this continued, it would be surrounded and killed by these people.

In the past, it was always the Great Demons surrounding and killing these Evolvers; it never expected that one day it would fall into this plight itself.

It wanted to lift the giant club in its hand to kill the enemy again, only to find that the demonic power in its body was almost exhausted.

Repeated battles, coupled with the peak strike just now, had left Treasure Elephant with no strength to fight again.

However...

Feeling the three terrifying Tianyue Yao Wang powers within its body, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of Treasure Elephant's mouth.

Since these people were entangling it and not letting it break away, then it would simply use one of the Tianyue Yao Wang powers to kill them all. Anyway, there were two more Tianyue Yao Wang powers left; using them to kill Li Yi should be enough.

With this thought.

A bright radiance suddenly emerged from the Great Demon Treasure Elephant's body. This radiance soared into the sky, transforming into a bright, clear moon. The entire world flowed with mercury-like radiance under the illumination of this bright moon.

Yet, this radiance revealed endless killing intent and danger.

Liu Yunbai, Qi Xiong, and the other two Evolvers felt their souls go into a frenzy of warning. They smelled a terrifying, fatal crisis, and the source of this crisis was precisely the bright moon above the Great Demon Treasure Elephant's head.

"This is absolutely not the strength a Great Demon should have; it's the aura of a Tianyue Yao Wang..." Liu Yunbai was incomparably shocked, then roared, "Retreat, retreat from here, don't hesitate! The opponent has borrowed the power of a Tianyue Yao Wang!"

Before the words were finished.

The few of them quickly scattered and fled, not giving the opponent a chance to gather and annihilate them all.

At the same time, Liu Yunbai felt incomparably fortunate in his heart that his previous guess was correct. This Great Demon indeed had a problem; this strike was definitely not prepared for them, but most likely for Li Yi.

"Don't think about running, all of you go to hell!" the Great Demon White Elephant roared. It had used a portion of a Tianyue Yao Wang's power; how could it be reconciled if it didn't take these Evolvers with it? If it weren't for their obstruction, it might have already found Li Yi and killed him.

Yet, at this very moment.

Suddenly.

A beam of divine light came from afar, arriving in a flash.

It was an arrow containing terrifying power, its edge sharp and exposed, unstoppable by anyone, even the peak Great Demon Treasure Elephant.

The arrow pierced through its body.

Treasure Elephant's massive, sturdy body instantly shattered. In the moment before its broken head dissipated, there was no anger in its eyes, only a sense of bewilderment.

It seemed not to have expected that it would be defeated and die so casually.

"It was Li Yi who acted." The Evolver Qi Xiong, who was quickly retreating, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this scene.

Being able to so easily kill a peak Great Demon on the battlefield, only Li Yi could do it.

"Li Yi wanted to kill this Great Demon White Elephant to prevent the opponent from using the Tianyue Yao Wang's power. The idea was good, but that bright moon doesn't seem to have dissipated." Liu Yunbai's unease did not disappear.

Because that terrifying Tianyue Yao Wang power was still there.

No, that's not right.

It wasn't just one Tianyue Yao Wang power; there were two more.

Subsequently, everyone discovered that at the site of the Great Demon Treasure Elephant's shattered corpse, two clusters of extreme light remained. Each cluster radiated the aura of Tianyue Yao Wang power, only these two Tianyue Yao Wang powers had not been triggered and were temporarily harmless.
