Chapter 759: The Great Demon

When the floating immortal island was breached.

"Now is the time."

Liu Guzi and Qian Daoren simultaneously unleashed their peak attacks, aiming to forcibly repel the great demon and secure a path to survival.

But a great demon struck from the side, instantly blocking both their attacks and foiling their plan.

"Your strength is nothing. What good does teamwork do?" A great demon wielding a great blade, with a green face and fangs like a lion, let out a cold laugh.

"Great Demon Qing Shi."

Seeing this, Liu Guzi and Qian Daoren's hearts sank like the floating immortal island itself, and a bitter smile crept onto their lips.

Indeed, they had hoped too optimistically—realm of One Flower was still no match for these great demons.

At this moment, the other two great demons also revealed their forms, blocking every escape route.

"Kill." Great Demon Qing Shi would not give these people a chance to struggle.

He had received the Demon King's decree from Yin Ya, invading Earth to expand territory.

By exterminating these people, he could seize this world, feast on its lifeforms, and raise countless lesser demons.

But at that very moment, an unexpected change erupted.

A crimson-gold divine light pierced through the demonic clouds, entering the battlefield—upon appearing, it revealed unmatched power; beneath its radiance, earth demons and sky demons instantly perished.

"What?"

The three great demons sensed mortal peril.

But the attack came too swiftly—in the instant they realized it, the blow had already struck one of the great demons.

Ten-thousand-zhang divine light obliterated all.

That great demon roared in fury, trying to unleash all his demonic power to resist, but collapsed instantly, leaving only a final cry of despair as his body was worn away within the crimson-gold light, until not even bones remained.

When the divine light gradually faded, a crimson-gold Shattered-Star Spear hovered in midair, radiating terrifying power that even the great demons trembled at.

"That's…" Liu Guzi and Qian Daoren, seeing the crimson-gold Shattered-Star Spear, felt an immediate sense of familiarity.

For it was clearly a Dao artifact.

On Earth, few could wield Dao artifacts—mostly only Daoist companions from the End-Era world.

"Cowardly scum, I'll kill you!"

Great Demon Qing Shi let out a lion's roar, its voice powerful enough to shatter the heavens and shake the earth; then his great blade instantly wove countless ancient Dao traces, accompanied by explosive demonic power.

Great Demon Qing Shi swung his blade instantly toward a direction behind him.

This strike split the sky apart; the countless Dao traces unleashed boundless power, surging like a tidal wave to devour everything ahead.

Clearly, he recognized his enemy's strength and dared not hold back—he unleashed his full strength.

The sky's demonic clouds instantly shattered under the attack's power, revealing a figure.

There stood a man stepping on auspicious clouds, clad in crimson-gold divine armor, wrapped in five-colored qi, wielding the power of Long Hu, his body entwined with silver lightning, like a god descending to earth—every gesture radiated infinite divine power.

Facing this strike.

Li Yi's expression remained calm, his eyes brimming with killing intent; he stepped forward once, awakening an ancient power within his bloodline, and behind him, silver lightning coalesced into the faint silhouette of a god.

That god stood upon the earth, crowned the heavens, clad in thunder and lightning, roaring as stars fell from the sky.

"Heaven and Earth Sever."

As Li Yi moved, the divine silhouette behind him moved too—he punched, and the god punched.

At that moment, heaven and earth darkened, the eight directions reversed; a fist of light emerged from chaos, intent on destroying all.

"What is this…?" Great Demon Qing Shi's pupils shrank sharply; his entire body trembled, his bloodline instantly suppressed by the giant, leaving him limp and powerless.

Ancient Dao cultivation crumbled; the sky's demonic power scattered.

But the next instant—

His vision went utterly black.

Heaven and earth seemed extinguished.

Then Great Demon Qing Shi felt the world spin wildly.

Did I… lose?

He felt confused and bewildered, yet clearly sensed his consciousness unraveling—the sign of imminent death.

The divine technique from the ancient god's bloodline was incomprehensible to others.

All knew was that heaven and earth suddenly darkened, and a fist of light obliterated everything.

Then Great Demon Qing Shi was split clean in two by a single punch, his vitality extinguished, blood spilling instantly—he had no chance to resist or flee.

Li Yi calmly retracted his fist, feeling a force drained from his body, leaving him weak.

Indeed.

Using divine techniques consumed tremendous physical strength.

Fortunately, only physical strength was drained—not magic power; his magic power remained full, still able to channel Long Hu power.

This was the advantage of dual cultivation.

Then he reached out through the air.

The crimson-gold Shattered-Star Spear flew instantly into his hand; he swung it casually, divine light spraying out, obliterating a stretch of land, making the last remaining great demon's heart pound in terror.

"Attack now, or you won't get another chance," Li Yi said coldly.

The last great demon's face turned fearful; he instinctively stepped back several paces.

This human cultivator was too powerful—two strikes had slain two great demons, and even the strongest, Qing Shi, had fallen.

Flee!

Without hesitation, the great demon turned and whipped up a demonic wind, fleeing swiftly.

Cold sweat poured down his body; he wasn't even sure he could escape this world alive.

Seeing this, Li Yi sheathed the crimson-gold Shattered-Star Spear, took out the Precious Moon Bow, then drew a crimson-gold arrow.

"Precious Moon Bow?" The great demon sensed a familiar aura and cried out in shock and terror: "You're Li Yi, the human who killed the Heavenly Moon Demon King's daughter? Damn it…"

Though he recognized Li Yi, he fled even faster.

After all, that was the Precious Moon Bow.

Li Yi's killing intent remained unyielding; he said nothing, merely channeled Long Hu power, drew the divine bow, and shot the crimson-gold arrow.

Shhh!

A divine light pierced the heavens.

The arrow, fired from the Precious Moon Bow, moved faster than thought.

Faster than a blink.

Boom.

The fleeing great demon's body exploded midair; the residual force swept through, reducing his remains to nothing.

One arrow—one great demon slain.

"The Precious Moon Bow with the crimson-gold arrow is truly absurd in power," Li Yi muttered in awe.

His decision to seize Chishan Mountain, forge the Divine Wood Crimson-Gold Furnace, and craft Dao artifacts from crimson-gold had been utterly correct—now, with such powerful Dao artifacts, slaying great demons was as easy as cutting melons.

Seeing three great demons fall one after another within moments, Liu Guzi and Qian Daoren inside the floating immortal island were stunned.

Was this really the Ta Yi they knew?

How had his strength grown so terrifying in such a short time? He could slay great demons so easily.

After killing the three great demons, Li Yi did not stop—he activated Heartfire Qi and cast the Call-Wind Great Art, burning every earth demon and sky demon within the demonic clouds to ash, leaving no lingering threat.

For if even one demon escaped today, it would be a catastrophe for the Four Seas and Eight Zhou.

"Are the two elders unharmed? Did I arrive in time?" Li Yi arrived on auspicious clouds and asked immediately.

Liu Guzi and Qian Daoren instantly exhaled in relief; though they didn't understand how Li Yi had grown so strong, his timely aid had saved their lives.

Not only had they been saved—every survivor within the floating immortal island had been saved.

"Ta Yi, you arrived just in time—I nearly died at the hands of the great demons," Liu Guzi smiled.

Qian Daoren, having escaped death, said: "That was too close—I was one step from perishing. Ta Yi, your strength has truly opened my eyes—in mere moments, you slew three great demons."

Li Yi chuckled: "Merely relying on the power of Dao artifacts. As long as the two elders are safe, that's all that matters. How is the situation on the floating immortal island?"

"Most are unharmed, but Feiyunzi suffered severe injuries—he didn't appear even during the crisis; he's likely beyond saving," Qian Daoren said, worry etched on his face.

That Feiyunzi hadn't shown up during the crisis revealed how dire his condition was.

Li Yi immediately said: "Take me to him quickly—I have potent medicine that might save him."

"Yes." Liu Guzi and Qian Daoren stopped talking, hurriedly leading Li Yi toward a shattered corner of the island.

Saving lives was paramount now.

Losing a Three-Flower cultivator would be a great tragedy.

After all, these people would become Li Yi's key allies in the future.

After all, these people will all be Li Yi's capable assistants in the future.
