We're practicing all martial arts, so why did you switch to easy mode?

Demons from all directions rushed in, less than ten miles from Demon Cave Mountain.

All the sect disciples had lost interest in vying for the so-called Pure Yang Pool. They all gave up and sought cooperation to jointly resist the demon tide and escape Demon Cave Mountain. At this point, if they were still blinded by the Pure Yang Pool, it would be clear that someone was secretly plotting against them.

Otherwise, not long after the Pure Yang Pool appeared, a demonic tide would have swept in from all directions, seemingly intent on wiping them out in one fell swoop.

What they didn't know was that the demon tide was just an appetizer; the real main course was just beginning.

Upon realizing that the Heavenly Demon was about to be born, Yun Xi's face showed unprecedented panic.

"Yunxi, what did you say? Where is the Heavenly Demon?"

Upon hearing Yun Xi's words, Xiang Cheng was first taken aback, and then asked in a shrill voice, clearly the words "Heavenly Demon" had a great impact on him.

This caused him to stop in his tracks immediately and flash to Yun Xi's side.

Before he could ask, he sensed the terrifying power surging from below, and his expression changed drastically.

"What an evil power!"

"How could such a terrifying power be hidden beneath Demon Cave Mountain?"

"Is this a Heavenly Demon?"

The people who flew in with Xiang Cheng also felt the surging power below, and their faces showed surprise.

Although they were unsure whether this energy was truly from a celestial demon, the sheer terror it contained sent shivers down the spines of everyone present.

"Yunxi, what exactly is going on?"

Xiang Cheng rarely showed a solemn expression. He did not believe Yun Xi's words. The appearance of the Heavenly Demon was of great importance and could very likely lead to the annihilation of all the sect disciples who went to Demon Cave Mountain. He could not afford to be careless.

Judging from Yunxi's confident tone just now, she must know more than he does.

"I don't know the specific reason either, I only know that a demon broke the seal and wanted to release these heavenly demons!"

Yun Xi shook her head and turned her gaze to Su Chen, who was not far away.

"There really is a Heavenly Demon!"

"How could the Heavenly Demons appear in Demon Cave Mountain? You must know that Demon Cave Mountain has already been swept clean by the various powerful figures of the Holy Origin Sect. No matter how well the Heavenly Demons hide, they cannot escape the discerning eyes of Martial Immortal experts. Now, not only have they appeared, but there are so many of them... This..."

"Now is not the time to discuss this. The Heavenly Demon has been born. What should we do?"

"There's still more than half a day left before the Demon Cave Mountain opens. If it really is a Heavenly Demon, aren't we just going to wait here to die?"

"..."

Everyone was thrown into turmoil, and as they considered the consequences, their calm expressions vanished.

Even when a demon tide came, there was never this much panic. After all, the Heavenly Demon and the demon tide are completely different things. The former is much more powerful than the demon tide.

"What about that dragon? Since it released the Heavenly Demons, it must know how to reseal them!"

After a brief moment of distraction, while everyone else was in a state of confusion, Xiang Cheng forced himself to calm down, his mind racing, and asked Yun Xi for advice.

"That dragon has been killed!"

"Who killed him?" Xiang Cheng's gaze sharpened upon hearing this.

“Su Chen,” Yun Xi uttered a name.

Xiang Cheng was taken aback upon hearing this, then angrily retorted, "Damn it, doesn't he know that the Flood Dragon released the Heavenly Demon?"

"I understand." Yunxi understood Xiangcheng's meaning and nodded.

"And he still dares to kill a dragon!"

Xiang Cheng laughed in fury, his smile sinister. If Su Chen hadn't known about the dragon releasing the Heavenly Demon, it would have been one thing, but he knew, and yet he dared to kill the dragon without even questioning him. Had he lost his mind? Didn't he know that once the Heavenly Demon was born, everyone would surely die?

"Where is he?"

Encountering such a foolish teammate, Xiang Cheng's anger surged uncontrollably, and he asked through gritted teeth.

Yunxi sensed Xiangcheng's anger and naturally wouldn't reveal Su Chen's location to him.

Just then, a disciple looked at the ruins in the distance and said loudly, "Senior Brother Xiangcheng, I just saw Su Chen fighting with the dragon. Su Chen must be in this cloud of dust!"

"What do you want to do?"

Before he could finish speaking, Xiang Cheng dashed into the dust cloud. However, before he could make a move, a beautiful figure blocked his way. Yun Xi came to Xiang Cheng's side and questioned him sharply.

Although she didn't know what had happened to Su Chen, she was determined not to allow anyone to interfere at this moment.

"What do I want to do? I'd like to ask Su Chen what he wants to do! Yun Xi, get out of my way, or don't blame me for being impolite. You're no match for me now," Xiang Cheng said coldly, his words icy.

Yunxi didn't speak, but her expression was firm, showing no intention of backing down.

Seeing this, Xiang Cheng didn't care and snorted, "Since that's the case, then let me see how much strength you still have!"

Even when facing Yun Xi, Xiang Cheng didn't hesitate much. He made his move directly, and with a wave of his hand, his Yuan energy spread like sprayed water vapor, instantly covering the space in front of him and forming a dazzling Yuan energy tide.

Within this surge of primordial energy, a dazzling sun rose, its fiery rays igniting a space-time continuum and instantly staining the primordial energy tide crimson. However, before this crimson hue had fully developed, a soft, silvery-white light emerged, quickly capturing everyone's attention.

"Nine Yin and Nine Yang!"

When a blazing sun and a bright moon appeared simultaneously in the sky, the disciples of the Ziyang Sect couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

This is Xiangcheng's supreme divine power, Nine Yin and Nine Yang.

But what Xiangcheng has shown us is only the tip of the iceberg of this supernatural power.

According to legend, the supreme divine power cultivated by Xiangcheng can condense up to nine suns and nine moons.

With the sun shining brightly overhead and the moon hanging high in the sky, any living being in the world would submit to such a sight and would be powerless to resist.

Although Yunxi had never fought Xiangcheng, she had witnessed him use this supernatural power.

At that time, Xiangcheng used only the Five Yang and Five Yin techniques, which was quite remarkable. He defeated all his enemies in the sect competition and won the championship.

"Three Yin and three Yang!"

Xiangcheng clearly intended to truly challenge Yunxi, as the sun and moon continuously emerged from the tidal wave of energy in front of him.

As the sun and moon rose one by one, the four directions of time and space where Xiangcheng was located became two extremes.

One is an unbearably hot world, where every breath of air radiates scorching heat, a heat that even elemental energy cannot withstand.

Even an ordinary martial artist at the Divine Power Realm who were to enter might have their body burned by this heat wave, as it could hinder the flow of Yuan Qi and even evaporate it, making it difficult for a martial artist to withstand. One was a chilling world radiating endless coldness that penetrated to the bone, where every ray of light sent shivers down one's spine.

This kind of coldness is different from coldness and chill, but it also has the effect of suppressing the primordial energy. The moment you enter the cold world, you will feel your primordial spirit become sluggish.

If the sun is directed at the physical body, then the moon is directed at the primordial spirit.

This is a supreme divine power that is difficult to define. It belongs to both physical and spiritual divine powers, and its power is boundless. It can attack not only the physical body but also the spiritual body.

When the Five Yang and Five Yin appeared out of nowhere, everyone present was forced back by this energy.

Although the energy wasn't directed at them, the intimidating aura it exuded made them instinctively retreat.

Yunxi, who was in front of Xiangcheng, felt it even more deeply. When the fifth Taiyin rose, her physical body and primordial spirit became restless, and the Yuan energy surrounding her became unstable, as if it was about to collapse at any moment.

However, Xiangcheng's offensive was not over yet. In just a moment, the five yin and five yang became seven yin and seven yang, and the change became even more obvious.

If the Sun and Moon were previously separate and mutually repulsive, now they are separate yet mutually attractive, as if two energies could merge at any time.

When the Nine Yin and Nine Yang were laid bare before Yun Xi, her expression became unusually solemn.

The energy contained in the Nine Yin and Nine Yang is terrifying; even she wasn't entirely confident she could withstand it.

"Yunxi, I'm warning you one last time, get out of the way!"

The cold words came out of Xiang Cheng's mouth. His patience was limited, not only towards Yun Xi, but also towards Su Chen.

If he had known that Su Chen would end up like this, he should have restrained Su Chen properly when they entered the Demon Cave, taught him a lesson, and made him understand the difference between superiors and inferiors, so that he wouldn't harm others and himself.

"Xiangcheng, bring it on!"

Yun Xi chuckled softly, and the Three Charms Technique echoed in her smile and voice. An invisible force rippled outwards, causing everyone present to stir their hearts. It also caused fluctuations in the astonishing scene formed by the Nine Yin and Nine Yang, and even softened Xiang Cheng's gaze for a brief moment.

However, the dissipation was short-lived. After hearing this, Xiang Cheng coldly said, "Fine, since you refuse to move aside, then don't blame me for being impolite!"

He was quite wary of Yun Xi's supreme divine power, and after speaking, he immediately took action.

Rumble!
With a thought, the Nine Yin and Nine Yang burst forth like meteors, sweeping towards Yun Xi with a devastating momentum.

Seeing this, Yunxi was not to be outdone. She lightly tapped the air three times with her toes, and with each tap, the air rippled with an alluring charm.

This alluring power appears weak, but it contains several deadly techniques, though they are deeply hidden and rarely used by Yun Xi.

But at this moment, Yunxi couldn't care less about all that. She wasn't confident enough to hold back against Xiang Cheng's formidable supernatural abilities.

"Ok?"

Not far away, Xiang Cheng noticed the unusual sensation emanating from his Nine Yin and Nine Yang, and let out a soft exclamation.

Yun Xi's strength is indeed very strong. Even though she is injured at this moment, the supernatural powers she displays are not to be underestimated.

He originally thought that with Yun Xi injured, he would be able to defeat her with his strength. But now it seems that even the injured Yun Xi is not someone he can mess with. Even though he used his strongest divine power, he still felt that he was evenly matched with Yun Xi.

"No matter what, my target isn't you, it's Su Chen!"

Xiang Cheng narrowed his eyes, manipulating the Nine Yin and Nine Yang to press down on Yun Xi, while simultaneously diverting a portion of his energy to attack Su Chen in the dust.

Yun Xi, who was focused on fighting Xiang Cheng, did not notice this scene. By the time she realized what was happening and wanted to stop it, it was too late. She could only watch helplessly as this deadly energy attacked Su Chen.

"Su Chen, watch out!"

Just as she shouted a warning, a blade of light suddenly flew out from the dust, striking Xiang Cheng's attack and annihilating him in one fell swoop.

Upon seeing this, Yunxi immediately knew that the person who made the move was none other than Duan Tian Dao.

However, the next moment, a figure emerged from the dust, hovering in mid-air, stepping on the breeze. With each step, most of the dust behind him fell, and the surrounding air seemed to become quiet with each step.

"It's Su Chen!"

The figure that emerged was not Duan Tian Dao, but Su Chen.

The person who made the move just now was also Su Chen.

"You finally stopped being a coward and came out!"

Xiang Cheng spotted Su Chen immediately, his attack abruptly halting.

Su Chen ignored him and instead glanced at the Nine Yin and Nine Yang that stretched across the sky. A glint flashed in his eyes, and the Heaven-Slaying Blade in his hand seemed to sense Su Chen's thoughts, humming and trembling.

In the next instant, Su Chen gently raised the Heaven-Slaying Blade, without any fancy moves, but simply slashed out with a light, airy motion.

This strike contained no primordial power, no supernatural abilities, and no primordial spirit; it was purely the power of blood and qi. The moment it was unleashed, everyone saw that half of the sky seemed to be stained with blood.

The crimson blade light flew towards the space-time of Nine Yin and Nine Yang, carrying large swaths of blood and staining the sky. It continuously invaded the Yin-Yang domain of Nine Yin and Nine Yang. The originally unbreakable Yin-Yang world became shaky and precarious in an instant as the blade light arrived.

"you wanna die!"

Seeing that Su Chen not only did not answer him, but also dared to fight back, Xiang Cheng's tiger eyes surged with endless anger. He roared and unleashed his supreme divine power with unparalleled strength, crashing into Su Chen.

Chi Chi Chi!
There was nothing earth-shattering as I had imagined; all that remained was utter tranquility.

When the Nine Yin and Nine Yang swords collided with Su Chen's blade, time and space seemed to freeze for a moment.

But then, the world filled with Yin and Yang was quickly stained with a layer of blood, just like a drop of ink falling into clear water, which quickly turned the water black. At this moment, it was the same. In less than half a moment, the Nine Yin and Nine Yang were completely stained with blood.

The moment it was completely dyed, it was like a dream, shattering in an instant, turning into countless blood-red specks of light that scattered across the world, dazzling and mesmerizing the onlookers.

"what?!"

Xiang Cheng was shocked. He hadn't expected Su Chen to block his attack so easily, especially with pure blood and qi.

When did his vital energy become so strong?

Even Yun Xi, who was standing to the side, opened her mouth slightly, revealing an incredulous expression.

Because she discovered that Su Chen's qi and blood were even more vigorous than before, and this vigorousness brought a sense of unease to people's hearts.

It made her feel a chill run down her spine.

She had never seen a martial artist at the Great Perfection of the Divine Power Realm possess such profound divine powers, not even among those at the Perfection of the Divine Power Realm.

Do not!
She remembered someone.

She had only ever seen such powerful energy and vitality in one person, and that was—

Bi Tianyu! (End of Chapter)
