Chen Luoyang and Xu Ruotong resisted Demon Ye's frontal attack, while the others tried to find Demon Ye's flaws.
The old devil dissolved Bie Donglai's fist energy with the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Skill, and the vortex formed a huge suction force that locked Bie Donglai's fist in place. As he moved, he even dragged Bie Donglai along with him.
Bie Donglai sneered as his power exploded.
Although the devouring power of the Sky-Devouring Demonic Skill was swift and fierce, it wasn't like the Sky-Stealing Spell, which was good at forcibly absorbing the power of an opponent's fierce attack. Right now, it was all up to the old devil's own strength.
But with Bie Donglai's interruption, his Illusory Sky Devil Track movement technique was instantly inconvenient, and his figure slowed down in midair.
The old Sword Immortal and the Master of the Heavenly Lake, who were already getting closer, instantly arrived in front of Heavenly Demon Ye with their sword and spear.
The old devil chuckled strangely. His figure shifted slightly, and Bie Donglai became his shield.
Bie Donglai wanted to struggle free, but he realized that it wasn't just the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art that had formed a massive suction force. Streams of black qi surged from the old devil's body and turned into a cage that trapped his body, making it impossible for him to move. The old devil wanted Bie Donglai to bear the brunt of the attack from the old Sword Immortal and the master of the Celestial Pool, Zhang Weiyu.
It was also one of the Eight Extreme Heavenly Demons, the Heavenly Demon Prison!
It was originally a technique to capture and torture people, but now it was being used by Heavenly Demon Ye.
However, before the old Sword Immortal and Zhang Weiyu could change their moves and withdraw, Bie Donglai roared.
His fist, which had been sucked in by the black vortex, suddenly relaxed, and his fingers opened up.
A power that was even fiercer than before burst forth.
As Bie Donglai flicked his five fingers, five mysterious and strange streams of energy surged through the vortex. They cut through the power of the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art and even went one step further, invading Heaven-Devouring Demon Ye's body.
Damn old man, do you think you can eat me?
I've already jumped out of your box, and now you're asking for it!
Bie Donglai's sudden attack was almost completely unhindered as it reached Heavenly Demon Ye's heart.
Previously, Heavenly Demon Ye's actions were like opening the door to a thief and inviting a wolf into the house.
"Interesting!" The Old Devil also gave a light shout, and as he shook off Bie Donglai, the Sky Demon Prison that had been pressing down on Bie Donglai collapsed, and streams of black qi bombarded Bie Donglai.
The master and disciple groaned at the same time.
Bie Donglai didn't retreat. He wanted to fight Heavenly Demon Ye to the death.
Suddenly, a large amount of Death Qi appeared in his palm and poured into Heavenly Demon Ye's body.
However, the Devil Qi around Heavenly Demon Ye gathered and turned into thousands of Devil Spears, stabbing outwards as if he had become a hedgehog.
Bie Donglai could only counterattack, and the two of them retreated.
Meanwhile, the old Sword Immortal and Zhang Weiyu's attacks were already right in front of him. Demon Ye had been affected by what had just happened, so he could no longer dodge with his Illusory Sky Devil Track. He could only face them head-on.
He blocked the attacks of the old Sword Immortal and Zhang Weiyu, then took a deep breath and activated the Samsara Demon Body, wanting to dissolve the five bolts of energy that Bie Donglai had just sent into his body.
However, the thick and pure aura of death made it difficult for him to use the Returning Devil Physique.
At the same time, he had to first force back Bie Donglai and then fend off the old Sword Immortal and Zhang Weiyu, causing Chen Luoyang and Xu Ruotong's attacks to immediately come crashing down on him.
Chen Luoyang's figure flickered, and he seemed to vanish from the world, invisible and formless.
But Empress Xu Ruotong's attacks were bold and unrestrained.
Boundless Purple Qi enveloped Heavenly Demon Ye with the power to collapse the sky, turning the old devil's face purple.
Just like how Chen Luoyang's Godly Demon Blood was no longer the Godly Demon Blood of the Ancient God, the Great Nine Heavens God Palm, which had been passed down in the Eastern Zhou Imperial Family, was now a supreme technique of another level in the hands of the Empress.
Wherever the Purple Qi went, space seemed to be sealed and time seemed to stop.
After Heavenly Demon Ye forced back the old Sword Immortal and Zhang Weiyu, he had no choice but to immediately meet the Empress's palms and break through the Purple Qi so that his body and soul wouldn't be frozen by the power of the palms.
At this moment, accompanied by the "Shadow Moon," Chen Luoyang reappeared. He was inches away from Heavenly Demon Ye, and the invisible "Shadow Moon" slashed down.
The "Shadow Moon Sinks West Destroys Ten Directions", which was infused with Sword Intent of Destruction, was silent, but its attack power was outstanding.
Even with Heavenly Demon Ye's strength, he was alarmed, and his hair stood on end.
Without even trying, he knew that the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art wouldn't be able to resolve this attack.
The deathly energy that Bie Donglai had poured into his body hadn't dissipated yet, making it difficult for him to use the Heavenly Demon Body again. If he was hit by Chen Luoyang's "Shadow Moon," his situation would probably worsen.
Taking advantage of Bie Donglai's unexpected attack and exchanging injury for injury, Chen Luoyang and the others seized the perfect opportunity.
The old devil was a genius with astonishing talent in martial arts. He had created the Eight Extreme Celestial Demons, and each of the eight divine arts had their own strengths. He had dominated the mortal world for a thousand years.
But he was too arrogant and believed that the best defense was offense. Among the Eight Extreme Celestial Demons, there wasn't a single pure defensive technique.
When facing an enemy, apart from suppressing them with fierce attacks, he mostly relied on the Illusory Sky Demon Track to avoid their counterattacks.
If an attack really landed on him, he would use the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art and the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Body to take it head-on.
But if someone countered his Heaven-Devouring Demonic Body, they would have a real chance to injure the old devil.
Now, Bie Donglai had seized this opportunity to use the power of the "Death" Heavenly Book to give Heavenly Demon Ye a vicious blow.
Without needing any instructions, Chen Luoyang and the others immediately followed up with a series of powerful attacks. They wanted to completely break open this small hole that Bie Donglai had torn open, and then tear Heavenly Demon Ye to shreds!
Tiny cracks had already appeared on the embankment of a thousand li, and everyone continued to widen them in an attempt to destroy the entire embankment.
Abbot Fa Kong, Island Master Azure Dragon, and the others who were guarding the perimeter were also completely focused, ready to attack at any moment. They were determined not to give the old devil a chance to catch his breath or escape.
But the old devil wasn't afraid at all. Instead, his eyes shone brightly.
The pitch-black demonic energy formed the image of a half-human, half-dragon Demon God.
Then, a terrifying aura emanated from it.
With Heavenly Demon Ye at the center, seven pitch-black rings suddenly appeared and circled around him. Then, the seven black rings expanded together and swept in every direction.
Chen Luoyang's "Shadow Moon," the old Sword Immortal's sword light, the Master of Celestial Pool's spear tip, and the Empress's palm all crashed into the black rings.
None of the myriad and infinitely powerful supreme techniques were able to avoid or circumvent the black rings, and all of them collided head-on.
Except for Chen Luoyang and Empress Xu Ruotong, the old Sword Immortal and the Master of Celestial Pool, Zhang Weiyu, were jolted backwards.
Chen Luoyang's "Shadow Moon" slashed at one of the black rings. As the other party spun, the destructive power of "Shadow Moon Sinks West Destroys Ten Directions" was dissipated.
But Chen Luoyang had already changed his move and turned it into "Shadow Moon Frost Destroys the Milky Way." It was like the power of the cold universe returning to eternal sleep. It blocked the rotation of the black rings and even formed a layer of ice crystals on it. The ice crystals shattered and eroded the black rings.
But the seven black rings seemed to be one, rotating continuously and finally crushed the ice crystals. As it continued to expand, it crashed towards Chen Luoyang.
Chen Luoyang stood firm and did not retreat. "Shadow Moon" turned into a black sun and combined with the pure black Celestial Demon Form, he faced the impact of the black rings head-on.
This black ring's penetrative power might be slightly inferior to the Demon Spear of Heaven Slaying, but it was powerful and more mysterious than the spear tip. It seemed difficult to avoid.
Even with Chen Luoyang's "Shadow Moon" ability, he was unable to find a flaw in the black rings for a while.
The old Sword Immortal, Abbot Pu Hui, the Master of Cang Long Island, and the other powerful figures who had participated in the previous battle against the Heavenly Demon all looked solemn.
They had never seen Heavenly Demon Ye use this supreme technique more than a hundred years ago.
Was this another brand-new martial art he had created himself?
The ninth level of the Heavenly Demon?
Sure enough, it was still the old devil's style, using offense as defense.
This supreme technique was so mysterious that it could achieve the effect of both offense and defense. Its power was even stronger than the Demon Spear of Heaven Slaying, the Demon Palm of Heaven, and other supreme techniques.
"I still won't defend, I will use an even stronger attack to make you have no choice but to defend!"
For more than a hundred years, although he had been hiding to recuperate, Heavenly Demon Ye had obviously not wasted his time. He had summed up his previous experience and created an even more powerful supreme technique.
"Why do you look like that?" The old devil laughed strangely. "I have never been like you people who are stuck in a rut. The Heavenly Demon Path is not limited by the heavens, and it constantly explores the way forward."
The Heavenly Demon Path was the first of the Eight Levels of the Heavenly Demon and the foundation of Heavenly Demon Ye's martial arts. The remaining seven levels, the Sky-devouring Demon Skill, the Demon Spear of Heaven Slaying, the Demon Palm of Heaven Covering, the Demon Prison, the Sky-searching Demon Eyes, the Demon Body, the Demon Body, and the ninth level, were all derived from this.
The old devil had casually taught an in-name disciple, Western Qin Heavenly Emperor Li Ce, and taught him the Demon Palm of Heaven Covering.
As for the two disciples he had truly taken in as successors and seriously taught, "Overlord" Crouching Dragon Sand and "Mad Emperor" Bie Donglai, he had not taught them any martial arts that could be used in combat.
The two of them had the same foundation, both from the Heavenly Demon Path. In the end, they went their separate ways and walked two completely different paths. Thus, few people had realized that they were both successors of the Heavenly Demon.
Even Bie Donglai himself had only been sure that they had the same master after interacting with Crouching Dragon Sand.
While the seven black rings of the ninth level blocked everyone's attacks, the eighth black ring appeared in Heavenly Demon Ye's body.
This black ring dispelled the Netherworld death aura created by the Heavenly Book "Death" in his body.
Without the death aura, the Demon Body immediately came into play and quickly healed the old devil's injuries.
But at this moment, the Empress of the East Zhou suddenly changed her moves.
She, who had blocked the seven rotating black rings of the Heavenly Demon Tribulation, had originally attacked with both palms, but now she withdrew one hand and faced the enemy with only one.
The five fingers of her palm flashed with different lights.
Black water, crimson fire, white gold, green wood, and yellow earth appeared at the same time, gathering from her fingers into her palm and then forming a word.
Human!
The Empress exhaled and shouted, then pushed her palm forward.
In that instant, it was as if the aura and will of endless living beings were imbued into her palm.
It was as if the entire mortal world was behind her.
Not just the mortal world of today.
The beliefs and will of countless people from ancient times to the present emerged from the river of time, passing through the river of time and gathering in Empress Xu Ruotong's palm.
Above her palm, the ages of the mortal world were endless.
Countless dots of light the size of corn grains approached the Empress, gathering together to form a faintly discernible shadow, as if the Human Emperor had returned to the mortal world.
