Li An sheathed his longsword and stood proudly in the sky, his star power radiating brilliantly, like a true master of the stars, exuding an aura that inspired awe.
"From this day forward, if anyone dares to covet my Starry Sky Holy Land, this will be their fate!" Li An's voice resounded throughout the sky, filled with domineering power and majesty.
The women gathered around, their faces beaming with the joy of victory and their admiration for Li An.
"Lord Lian, you are amazing! These allied forces are no match for you!" Yui Yuigahama said excitedly, her eyes full of admiration.
Yukino Shino nodded gently: "Lord Li An's strength has reached a level that is beyond the reach of others. With you here, the Starry Sky Holy Land will surely prosper and be invincible."
Teacher Hiratsuka also smiled and said, "That's right, we owe it all to Li An this time. Let's see who dares to cause trouble in our Starry Sky Holy Land in the future!"
Chapter 172 Li An's True Killing Power! Demonic Path Expert, is this all the strength you have?!
On the border of the Starry Sky Holy Land, the stench of blood had not yet completely dissipated, and the lingering glory of Li An and his companions' victory still echoed throughout the land. The group returned to the Holy Land's main hall, carrying the honor of victory, hoping for a brief rest. However, fate seemed determined to deny them even a moment's peace.
Just as everyone was discussing post-war reconstruction and further strengthening the Holy Land's defenses, a mysterious aura emanated from the distant horizon. This aura carried an ancient and sinister charm, instantly making the atmosphere throughout the Starry Sky Holy Land oppressive. Li An frowned deeply; he keenly sensed that this aura was no ordinary one and that a great crisis must be lurking behind it.
"Lord Li An, I sense an extremely powerful and unfamiliar force approaching." Yukino Yukinoshita said solemnly. As a researcher of the Star Codex, she had an extraordinary perception of various mysterious forces.
Teacher Hiratsuka gripped her long sword tightly, her eyes revealing a resolute fighting spirit: "No matter what comes, we will not be afraid!"
Yui Yuigahama instinctively moved closer to Lian. Her magic was inevitably a little uneasy when faced with such a powerful and unknown force, but as long as she was by Lian's side, she felt that she had someone to rely on.
Li An nodded slightly, his gaze fixed firmly on the direction from which the aura emanated: "Whatever it is, we must be prepared. This time, we will not only protect the Starry Sky Holy Land, but also let the entire continent know that the Starry Sky Holy Land's majesty is inviolable!"
Not long after, a huge black rift appeared in the sky, and a group of mysterious figures dressed in black robes slowly emerged from it. The leader was a tall man with a cold and stern face, whose eyes flashed with a dark red light, and whose body exuded a chilling magical power.
"Li An, you didn't expect this, did you? We've met so soon," the man said, his voice deep and imposing.
Li An stared intently at the man before him, his gaze sharp: "Who are you? Why have you trespassed into my Starry Sky Sacred Land without cause?"
The man sneered, "I am the newly risen powerhouse of the demonic path, the Shadow Demon Lord. I've heard that you defeated the Dark Star Demon Lord, so today I've come to meet you and see if you truly have such ability."
Li An scoffed disdainfully: "No matter who you are, since you dare to cause trouble in my Starry Sky Holy Land, don't even think about leaving alive."
As soon as he finished speaking, the black-robed figures behind the Shadow Demon Lord instantly dispersed, surrounding Li An and the others. These black-robed figures all exuded a dense demonic aura, clearly indicating that they were no benevolent beings.
The battle was about to erupt, and Li An launched the first attack. He moved with lightning speed, instantly rushing towards the Shadow Demon Lord, his longsword gleaming with starlight power. A dazzling sword aura ripped through the sky, heading straight for the Shadow Demon Lord. The Shadow Demon Lord remained calm, his hands rapidly forming hand seals, and a black magic shield instantly appeared before him, blocking Li An's sword aura.
"Hmph, you've got some skill." A hint of surprise flashed in Li An's eyes. He hadn't expected that the Shadow Demon Lord could block his attack so easily.
At the same time, Shizuka-sensei charged into the midst of the black-robed figures. Her long sword gleamed coldly amidst the shadowy figures, each strike carrying a sharp and fierce aura, slaying the approaching black-robed figures one by one. However, these black-robed figures seemed tireless, relentlessly attacking her wave after wave.
Yukinoshita cast a spell in the air, her hands moving swiftly, instantly creating countless golden runes in the sky. These runes intertwined, forming a massive magic circle. From within the magic circle shot beams of golden light, like arrows, towards the black-robed figures. Struck by the light, the black-robed figures cried out in agony.
Yui Yuigahama provided support from the rear. She first used water magic to create a water shield around everyone, enhancing their defense. Then, she used healing magic to quickly restore the injuries of the wounded teacher, Shizuka Hiratsuka, and the other students.
The battle between Li An and the Shadow Demon Lord reached its climax. The two exchanged blows, neither giving an inch. Li An unleashed an advanced technique of the Star Annihilation Art; with each swing of his longsword, countless star-like sword energies rained down like a storm, each containing world-destroying power. The Shadow Demon Lord, in turn, used forbidden demonic magic; black demonic flames raged around him, deflecting Li An's sword energies one by one.
"Li An, your strength is indeed formidable, but today you are destined to be defeated by me," the Shadow Demon Lord said with a maniacal laugh.
Li An's eyes were icy: "Then let's give it a try."
As he spoke, the stellar power within Li An instantly erupted to its peak, and a massive stellar vortex appeared around his body. Within the vortex, countless stars shimmered with dazzling light, gradually coalescing into a gigantic stellar sword.
"Take this! Star Judgment!" Li An shouted, gripping the Star Sword with both hands and slashing towards the Shadow Demon Lord.
This sword strike, imbued with boundless stellar power, seemed poised to cleave the entire world in two. The Shadow Demon Lord's expression drastically changed; he sensed the terrifying power of this strike. He hastily unleashed all his demonic power, forming a black demonic wall in front of him in an attempt to block this fatal blow.
However, Li An's Star Judgment was not so easily withstood. The Star Sword struck the Demon Wall with a deafening roar. Countless cracks instantly appeared on the Demon Wall, and then it collapsed with a crash. The Shadow Demon Lord was struck by the residual force of the Star Sword, coughing up blood, his body flying backward like a kite with a broken string.
"My lord!" the men in black robes exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this.
"Now's the time to wipe them out!" Li An shouted.
Upon hearing Lian's command, Hiratsuka Shizuka, Yukinoshita Haruno, Yuigahama Yui, and the others immediately intensified their attack. Hiratsuka Shizuka's longsword darted left and right through the black-robed figures, slaughtering them mercilessly. Yukinoshita Haruno's magic circle unleashed an even more powerful light, completely enveloping the black-robed figures in its glow. Yuigahama Yui, meanwhile, unleashed powerful ice magic, freezing the black-robed figures into ice sculptures.
Under the combined attack of the group, the black-robed men were quickly wiped out. The Shadow Demon Lord struggled to his feet, looking at the scene before him, his heart filled with resentment.
“Li An, although I have been defeated today, I will not give up,” the Shadow Demon Lord said through gritted teeth.
Li An walked step by step toward the Shadow Demon Lord, his eyes filled with killing intent: "Do you think you still have a chance?"
As he spoke, Li An raised his longsword, preparing to deliver the final blow to the Shadow Demon Lord. Just then, the Shadow Demon Lord suddenly pulled a black bead from his robes, emanating an eerie aura.
"Oh no, he's going to self-destruct!" Yukinoshita Haruno exclaimed.
Li An's expression changed. He knew the self-destruction was incredibly powerful, and if it wasn't stopped in time, the entire Starry Sacred Land would suffer severe damage. Without hesitation, he rushed forward and used the power of the stars to tightly bind the Shadow Demon Lord.
"Lord Li An, danger!" Yui Yuigahama and the others cried out in alarm.
Li An gritted his teeth, suppressing the Shadow Demon Lord and the black bead in his hand with all his might. The power within the black bead constantly impacted his stellar power, but he never retreated.
"I will absolutely not let you harm a single blade of grass or tree in the Starry Sky Holy Land," Li An thought firmly.
Under Li An's full suppression, the black bead's self-destructive power was gradually weakened. Finally, with a muffled thud, the black bead turned to ashes in Li An's stellar power.
Seeing that his last resort had been countered by Li An, the Shadow Demon Lord closed his eyes in despair. Li An raised his sword and brought it down, ending the Shadow Demon Lord's life.
After the battle, the entire Starry Sky Holy Land was silent. Everyone looked at Li An, exhausted yet still standing tall, and their hearts were filled with admiration and emotion.
"Lord Li An, are you alright?" Yui Yuigahama rushed over and asked with concern.
Li An shook his head slightly, revealing a relieved smile: "I'm fine. I owe it all to everyone this time. Without you all, I would have had a hard time dealing with this crisis on my own."
Yukino stepped forward, her eyes filled with admiration: "Lord Li'an, your strength is growing stronger and stronger. With you here, the Starry Sky Holy Land will surely stand forever."
Ms. Hiratsuka also laughed and said, "That's right. If anyone dares to come again, we'll make sure they never return!"
Chapter 173 The Real Crisis! The terrifying slaughter of the God-Slaying Demon King Li An! Kill, kill!!
After resolving the crisis posed by the Shadow Demon Lord, the Starry Sky Holy Land enjoyed a brief period of peace. Li An led everyone in dedicating themselves to the reconstruction and strengthening of the Holy Land's defenses.
However, the situation on this continent is turbulent and unpredictable; beneath the calm surface, undercurrents are surging.
Several months later, the sky above the Starry Sky Holy Land was suddenly shrouded in an eerie blood-red hue. An even more powerful and malevolent aura swept in from a distant region, and all the disciples of the Holy Land felt an invisible pressure, as if a mountain was pressing down on their hearts.
Li An was cultivating in the secret chamber when he sensed this aura. He abruptly opened his eyes, which shimmered with starlight. He quickly rose and teleported to the main hall. At this moment, Yukinoshita Haruno, Hiratsuka Shizuka, Yuigahama Yui, and others were already waiting in the main hall.
"Lord Li'an, this aura..." Yukino Yukinoshita's expression was solemn. She sensed an unprecedented threat from this aura.
Li An nodded slightly, gazing into the distance: "It seems we've got new trouble."
Teacher Hiratsuka gripped her long sword tightly, her eyes blazing with fighting spirit: "No matter who it is, anyone who dares to invade my Starry Sky Holy Land will never return!"
Despite her fear, Yui Yuigahama stood firmly by Rean's side, saying, "I will do everything I can to help everyone."
As soon as he finished speaking, a colossal figure appeared in the sky. It was a man exuding intense demonic energy, his body was a hundred feet tall, and he had six enormous black wings on his back, each wing flashing with strange runes.
"Li An, today is the end of the Starry Sky Holy Land!" The man's voice was like rolling thunder, resounding throughout the entire holy land.
Li An snorted coldly, his figure instantly rising to meet the man's gaze: "And who are you, demon? State your name!"
"I am the Lord of the Demon Abyss, the Chaos Demon Lord. Sealed away hundreds of years ago, I have returned today, determined to eradicate all righteous forces in this world, with the Starry Sacred Land bearing the brunt!" the Chaos Demon Lord declared with a maniacal laugh.
Li An's eyes were icy: "You dare to spout such nonsense. Now that you're here, don't even think about leaving."
With a wave of his hand, the Chaos Demon Lord unleashed countless demonic shadows from behind him, surging towards the Starry Sacred Land like a black tide. These demonic shadows took on various forms, some resembling enormous pythons, others like ferocious demons, each radiating powerful demonic energy.
The battle erupted instantly, with Hiratsuka Shizuka leading the charge into the horde of demonic figures. Her longsword gleamed coldly amidst the shadows, each strike carrying immense force, slaying the approaching demons one by one. However, the sheer number of demons was overwhelming, and she gradually found herself in a fierce and arduous struggle.
"Shizuka-sensei, I'm here to help you!" Yui Yuigahama shouted, her hands quickly forming hand seals. Countless ice spikes shot up from the ground, piercing through the surrounding demonic shadows. At the same time, she cast water magic, forming water dragons that rushed towards the horde of demonic shadows, relieving the pressure on Shizuka-sensei.
Yukinoshita unleashed a powerful spell in the air. With a flick of her wrists, a massive golden sun magic circle appeared in the sky. Beams of intense light shot from the circle, like lasers, instantly vaporizing the demonic shadow.
Li An faced the Chaos Demon Lord directly. He swung his longsword, unleashing a massive stellar sword aura towards the Chaos Demon Lord. The Chaos Demon Lord remained calm, extending a gigantic demonic hand to grasp the sword aura, then squeezed it tightly, causing it to dissipate instantly.
"That's interesting, but it's far from enough," the Chaos Demon Lord mocked.
Li An's eyes narrowed. He knew that the Chaos Demon Lord before him was exceptionally powerful, far surpassing the Shadow Demon Lord he had encountered before. He took a deep breath, and the power of the stars within him instantly exploded to its limit. Countless stars appeared around his body, rapidly rotating and forming a massive stellar storm.
"Take this! Starstorm!" Li An shouted, pushing Starstorm toward the Chaos Demon Lord.
The Chaos Demon Lord's expression changed slightly; he sensed the terrifying power of this stellar storm. He quickly unleashed all his demonic power, forming a thick black magic shield in front of him.
The starstorm collided with the black magic shield, producing a deafening roar. The powerful impact caused cracks to appear in the surrounding space. Under the impact of the starstorm, the magic shield gradually developed countless cracks, and finally collapsed with a crash.
The Chaos Demon Lord was struck by the aftershocks of the star storm, his body staggering backward. A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "I didn't expect you to be so powerful. However, this is still not enough to defeat me."
As he spoke, the six wings on the back of the Chaos Demon Lord suddenly unfurled. The runes on each wing flashed with dazzling light, and then the light from the six wings converged to form a huge black pillar of light, which shot towards Li An.
Seeing this, Li An quickly unleashed his Star Power, forming a Star Shield in front of him. The black beam of light struck the Star Shield, causing it to tremble violently and threatening to shatter at any moment.
"Lord Li An!" Yukinoshita and the others below exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this.
Li An gritted his teeth, doing everything he could to maintain the Star Shield. He knew that if the shield broke, he would suffer severe damage, and the Star Holy Land would be plunged into utter ruin.
Just as Li An was about to give up, Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly thought of a way. She quickly chanted a spell, fusing her magical power with the power of the stars, and then a golden light shot towards Li An's star shield.
With the magical power of Yukinoshita, Lian's Star Shield instantly became stronger. Although the black beam of light was powerful, it could no longer penetrate the Star Shield.
Seizing the opportunity, Li An unleashed the power of the stars within him once more. He burst forth from the star shield, his longsword gleaming with dazzling light.
"Chaos Demon Lord, prepare to die! Starfall Annihilation!" Li An roared, slashing his longsword at the Chaos Demon Lord.
This sword strike, imbued with the combined power of Li An's entire star system and enhanced by Yukino Yukinoshita's magical power, was several times more powerful than the previous Star Judgment.
The Chaos Demon Lord's expression changed drastically; he sensed the deadly threat of this sword strike. He hurriedly unleashed his strongest defensive spell, forming layer upon layer of magical shields in front of him.
However, Li An's Starfall Assassination was not so easily blocked. The longsword struck the magic shield, which tore apart instantly like paper. Before the Chaos Demon Lord could react, the longsword had already struck him.
"Ah!" The Chaos Demon Lord let out a painful scream as his body was cleaved in two by the longsword, and his massive body crashed to the ground.
With the death of the Chaos Demon Lord, the demonic shadows he summoned also dissipated. This thrilling battle finally came to an end.
