I get stronger every day I live.

Chapter 203 Netherworld Demon Ancestor, The Ultimate Battle

Lai Yang's sword tore through the void, causing the demons to tremble in fear.

Lai Yang led Mo Ruyan away, and the demons, seeing this, all looked angry but dared not speak out, none of them daring to step forward easily.

After all, even the sect master of the Devouring Demon Sect, who was in the late stage of the Emperor Realm, had fallen at his hands. If these people went up there, they would probably just be offering themselves up as food.

But no matter when, once the number of people increases, there will always be a few daring and reckless individuals.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. He just fought a fierce battle with the Devouring Demon Sect, and he must be extremely exhausted. If we attack together, we can definitely kill him."

The demon who was speaking hid in the crowd, trying to incite the crowd's emotions with his words and encourage them to attack Lai Yang.

But how could someone who has cultivated to this point be so simple?

The demons instinctively turned their gazes to the other party. Instead of accepting the other party's motivational speech, some of them mocked, "So you're very brave? If you're so brave, why don't you go first? What kind of evil demon hides in the back?"

"How can you sit idly by and watch a mere human immortal emperor act so recklessly in our Netherworld Demon Realm? It's only because I'm weak that I'm not strong enough to fight him to the death. I'm determined to keep him in the Netherworld Demon Realm. If he causes a ruckus and leaves unscathed, where will my Netherworld Demon Clan put our face?"

“He’s right. If we let the humans run rampant on our territory and then leave, others will probably look down on us.”

"Hmph, I don't believe he's completely unharmed after his battle with the Demon Emperor. He might just be bluffing and trying to fool us. We absolutely cannot let them leave like this."

As they spoke, several powerful Netherworld Demon Clan members at the Quasi-Saint level stepped forward to stop Lai Yang and Mo Ruyan from leaving. With a wave of their hands, they unleashed various powerful magic weapons to fiercely attack Lai Yang, attempting to test his strength and weaknesses in this way.

Upon seeing this, Lai Yang's eyes turned slightly cold.

It wasn't that he wanted to kill, but he couldn't stand that some people were courting death and were eagerly offering their heads to his sword. He would be doing them a disservice if he didn't kill them.

One after another, magical artifacts exuding powerful auras enveloped the heavens and earth, unleashing all sorts of powerful attacks towards Lai Yang.

Lai Yang shielded Mo Ruyan behind him, raised his hand and used his sword to block all dangers. The sword light, as beautiful as the frosty moon, split the sky and earth in two and slashed at the demon who had attacked.

The next moment, the Netherworld Demons couldn't help but widen their eyes. They saw that a sword light had cut off the magic weapons of several quasi-saint realm Netherworld Demons, and the sword energy had cut them in half. They didn't even have time to react before they were annihilated in the sword light.

"This guy is so strong!"

"I know most of the famous Immortal Emperors of the human race, but where did this person come from? How could someone with such great strength be unknown?"

"Wait a minute, why does this person look somewhat like the human immortal emperor who helped the witch clan during the previous great war between the witch clan and the demon clan?"

"It's him! We can't let him leave the Netherworld now. His talent is too monstrous; he'll probably become a major threat to us in the future."

"Kill him! We have to find a way to kill him!"

Just then, a series of terrifying auras, earth-shattering and terrifying, suddenly appeared, followed by several figures emerging from the white pillar of light.

Upon seeing the newcomers, the Netherworld Demon Clan members were taken aback and exclaimed excitedly, "It's the Demon Emperors! There are actually seven Demon Emperors here!"

"Hahaha, with the arrival of the Demon Emperors, the end of this human Immortal Emperor has come. No matter how strong he is, how could he possibly withstand the pursuit of seven Demon Emperors at the same time after being exhausted in the battle with the Devouring Demon Sect?"

"Demon Emperor, quickly kill this human Immortal Emperor! He destroyed the Devouring Heaven Demon Sect!"

Mo Ruyan's expression immediately turned ugly; her worst fears had come true.

She had long guessed that the powerful figures of the Netherworld Demon Realm would not let them leave easily, and now they had actually sent out seven powerful figures at the Demon Emperor level.

It should be noted that ordinary demons rarely even see one expert of this level, yet seven of them were sent to kill them.

"This person was able to kill that old fellow, the Devouring Demon Emperor, so his methods must be extraordinary. Let's all join forces to kill him."

"No problem, I want his hands."

"This person's essence and blood belong to me."

"Dream on! Why should all the essence and blood belong to you? I want a share too."

The seven men clearly didn't take Lai Yang seriously; they were already plotting how to divide his body up in front of him.

Lai Yang was speechless. They really thought he was a pushover they could just take advantage of.

Lai Yang disliked waiting to be killed; when facing enemies, he preferred to strike first.

Lai Yang glanced back at Mo Ruyan, gave her a reassuring look, then released his grip on her hand and vanished into the void.

Just then, an invisible sense of dread gripped everyone's hearts, making the Demon Emperors' scalps tingle and their skin crawl.

A sword silently shot out from the void, piercing the heart of a powerful expert in the early stage of the Emperor Realm.

The early-stage Emperor Realm expert looked incredulous, and even on his deathbed, he still tried to make a desperate attack.

Lai Yang flipped the sword in his hand and suddenly pulled it out, spraying a large amount of blood.

"These are... the laws of time and space?"

"You scoundrel! How dare you do this!"

"Kill him first, and we can discuss the rest later. My Netherworld Demon Realm has already lost three Demon Emperors; we cannot afford to lose any more."

Sensing Lai Yang's threat, the Demon Emperors instantly changed their expressions and attitudes, appearing united against a common enemy.

They thought that Lai Yang had destroyed the Devouring Demon Sect and would be greatly exhausted after his great battle with the sect leader of the Devouring Demon Sect, who was in the late stage of the Demon Emperor realm. Little did they know that he was a cheat code.

The battle with the sect leader of the Devouring Demon Sect was nothing to him; he didn't even reveal many of his trump cards.

The Netherworld Demons gazed up at the battlefield beyond the realm, where several figures clashed fiercely, unleashing countless spells and divine powers that destroyed laws and caused space to collapse.

Unbeknownst to them, more and more powerful members of the Netherworld Demon Clan fell at Lai Yang's hands.

Of the seven Demon Emperors, only four remained alive, and the remaining four were all wounded to varying degrees.

In contrast, Lai Yang, apart from a slightly dirty hem, didn't look disheveled at all; he was as strong as a monster.

The battle between Emperor Realm beings was extremely intense, even attracting the attention of other powerful beings in the Immortal Realm. Everyone's divine senses were drawn to the Netherworld Demon Realm to watch the spectacle.

"Huh? The Netherworld Demon Realm has mobilized so many Demon Emperors at the same time. Who are they dealing with?"

"It's actually a human Immortal Emperor in the mid-stage of the Immortal Emperor realm. Seven Demon Emperors are fighting against one Immortal Emperor, but they have three of them killed in succession. Good heavens, what a waste."

"Exactly, seven against one and they still got three killed. Do they even know how to play? If they don't know how, they should play with dogs."

"The Netherworld Demon Realm has really bitten off more than they can chew this time. They've been so arrogant all this time." "By the way, doesn't this guy look familiar to you guys? I feel like I've seen him somewhere before."

"Huh, it's him. Isn't he the human immortal emperor who's with the witch clan? It seems like the Buddhist sect and the demon clan have been trying to cause him trouble. How come he's at odds with the Netherworld Demon Realm again?"

……

The remaining four Demon Emperors were already filled with fear and had the idea of ​​retreating and fleeing.

This person is too strong; they are no match for him. If the fight continues, all four of them will probably perish here.

Compared to the dignity of the Netherworld Demon Clan, their lives are clearly more important.

Lai Yang could see that the fighting spirit in the eyes of the Demon Emperors was gradually fading, but he showed no sympathy or mercy. His killing intent surged and trembled, making people shudder.

Just as Lai Yang's sword was about to slay another Demon Emperor, at the critical moment, a vast and boundless demonic power erupted from the depths of the Netherworld Demon Realm.

Immediately afterwards, a fist slammed into Lai Yang with overwhelming force.

Lai Yang was startled and hastily condensed his sword domain to form a defense against the fist that was powerful enough to shatter an entire dimension with a single punch.

Upon seeing this, the powerful figures of the Immortal Realm felt a chill in their hearts.

"This aura is... Heh, this person actually managed to force that old monster from the Netherworld Demon Realm to take action personally. He's truly remarkable."

"If I weren't unwilling to offend both the Buddhist and demonic forces at the same time, I would really like to lend him a hand."

"Humanity is currently weak, while Buddhism and the demon race are powerful and spread throughout the myriad realms. Don't get yourself into trouble; just watch quietly."

The Netherworld Demon Clan members were overjoyed and their faces were filled with excitement.

They looked at the person who had made the move, and some of them recognized him at a glance, shouting excitedly, "The Demon Ancestor! It's the Demon Ancestor who has made the move!"

The Demon Ancestor of the Netherworld was a peak Immortal Emperor.

"Human, how dare you offend my Netherworld! Today, I, your ancestor, will make you perish here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Demon Ancestor conjured up an extremely large Dharma form.

The Dharma image before them was even larger and more astonishing than the entire Netherworld Demon Realm, as if it could engulf the entire Netherworld Demon Realm with a single palm strike.

Facing the old monster at the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm, Lai Yang dared not be careless in the slightest.

From the person before him, Lai Yang felt the same immense pressure he had once felt from the Buddha of the Western Paradise, a pressure far beyond what the Devouring Demon Emperor, a late-stage Demon Emperor, could match.

Lai Yang subconsciously gripped the sword in his hand, then mobilized the power of the underground authority to amplify his cultivation to the fullest extent.

"Hmph, it's not that easy to keep me here. You'll have to break my Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation first."

With a thought, Lai Yang unleashed the vast and powerful Pangu energy from his body. Then, a giant man wielding the Heaven-Opening Axe, whose figure and aura were in no way inferior to the Netherworld Demon Ancestor's Dharma Form, materialized. His body exuded an extremely terrifying pressure, as if even the heavens and earth were shaking in fear of his existence.

"The Twelve Capitals Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation summoned the true form of Pangu? How is that possible? The Twelve Capitals Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation requires twelve ancestral witches to work together to unleash it. You are neither a member of the witch clan nor are you alone. How could you possibly unleash the witch clan's strongest killing formation?"

The Netherworld Demon Ancestor was stunned; he could hardly believe his eyes.

He and the twelve ancient ancestral witches were from the same era, so he naturally knew the terrifying nature of the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation.

At this moment, the Netherworld Demon Ancestor sensed the deadly allure emanating from Lai Yang, and a greedy and sinister glint flashed in his aged eyes.

Lai Yang exuded an incredibly sweet scent, making the Netherworld Demon Ancestor feel that if he could devour him, he might gain unexpected and enormous benefits.

Perhaps this opportunity will allow us to glimpse the threshold of transcendence.

He had spent countless years immersed in the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm, but he was still unable to take that crucial step.

The path to the realm of transcendence has been completely blocked by the Heavenly Dao. Unless one is a Great Emperor who has attained the Dao, no one can even think of glimpsing or stepping into the realm of transcendence.

However, at this moment, the Netherworld Demon Ancestor actually saw a glimmer of hope for transcendence in the human immortal emperor before him, for he possessed the aura of Pangu.

If he could devour and merge with the power of Pangu, how could the Heavenly Dao of this place suppress and bind him any longer?

Lai Yang noticed the greed and hunger in the eyes of the Netherworld Demon Ancestor, and his heart trembled slightly. He thought to himself, "This guy wants to eat me."
The next moment, the domains of the Netherworld Dao and the Dao of Power collided, each attempting to pull the other into its own domain.

If two equally matched parties are drawn into each other's Dao domain, it is essentially a declaration of defeat.

Although Lai Yang's Dao of Power is not as powerful and complete as the Dao of the Netherworld Demon Ancestor, it is impossible for the other party to easily devour his Dao of Power domain unless he can defeat him.

Lai Yang knew he wouldn't gain the upper hand in the battle for the Great Dao, since his opponent was an ancient monster who had lived for an unknown period of time, so he immediately chose to strike first.

Lai Yang controlled Pangu's true form and unleashed a divine axe strike, fiercely cleaving towards the Netherworld Dao Domain.

The Netherworld Ancestor's eyes were cold as he wielded a battle blade forged from countless pieces of imperial bones, exuding a murderous aura, as he clashed with the opponent.

The mere clash of forces caused a terrifying aftershock that trembled the celestial realm, and the surrounding weak stars were instantly annihilated, turning into dust of the universe.

Even the onlookers dared not get too close, for fear of being caught in the crossfire.

Even ordinary Emperor-level experts who get caught up in it have a very high chance of ending up dead.

A battle at the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm could easily shatter countless planes and cause immense harm to the Immortal Realm if one is not careful.

Even Mo Ruyan hadn't expected that Lai Yang was now so powerful that he could fight against a peak Immortal Emperor.

She felt that a single glance from that level of terrifying powerhouse could obliterate her, and the gap between her and Lai Yang was unknowingly widening.

Mo Ruyan clenched her fists secretly. She wanted to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm. She didn't want to always be someone who stood by his side and was protected by him.

Why did I embark on this thorny path to immortality? Wasn't it so that I could stand openly and proudly beside my beloved?
Lai Yang is currently fighting the Demon Ancestor, and the danger is unknown.

However, she didn't even have the right to get involved, which made her feel that her self-esteem had been greatly hurt.

At the same time, Mo Ruyan was also rapidly absorbing and refining the power within her body, attempting to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm using her talent for devouring divine bodies.

We are not out of danger yet, and every bit of strength we have increases our chances of self-preservation.

Suddenly, an untimely voice rang in Mo Ruyan's ear—

"Men, seize this woman! She has a close relationship with that man; she'll definitely be useful!"
