Ji Yuan uses his magical treasure to shield himself while Xing Shuang recovers from her injuries with a pill and spirit milk, quickly defeating her opponent. Meanwhile, Ji Yuan reveals himself as an array cultivator, trapping Demon Lord Duan Yue in a Yin Ghost Array and attacking him with Yin Corpse Demon Fire. Duan Yue transforms into a demonic statue to counter Ji Yuan's attacks.

Standing at the mountaintop, Ji Yuan’s eyes carried a few more degrees of caution.

Because at the moment Demon Lord Duan Yue transformed, he clearly felt that the aura of the old demon had strengthened considerably.

Faintly, it seemed to be touching the threshold of the Peak of Core Formation.

"Brother Liu, this old demon cultivates the ’Earth-Splitting Demon Skill’, an earth-based demon skill. Once he lands, under the enhancement of earthly power, his strength can further increase."

Criminal Frost worried that Ji Yuan was unaware of the situation with Demon Lord Duan Yue, so he explained during the battle.

"Alright, don’t worry."

Ji Yuan simply replied and no longer paid attention to it, instead focusing intently on dealing with the old demon before him.

The Yin Corpse Demon Fire re-condensed and surged forward.

Demon Lord Duan Yue thrust his palm forward, and a layer of Evil Qi shield instantly appeared on his body.

And compared to before, this shield was clearly several times stronger, managing to block the corrosion of the Yin Corpse Demon Fire... but only just barely.

Ji Yuan could distinctly feel the Yin Corpse Demon Fire rapidly burning away at the shield on his body.

Estimating that in no more than a few breaths, it could completely break through.

But it was within just one or two breaths.

Demon Lord Duan Yue, almost like a Demon God, grasped the giant axe with both hands and fiercely cleaved towards the sky.

"Sizzle—"

Under the immense force, the black mist above his head tore open like a curtain.

Ji Yuan distinctly felt that the Yin Ghost Array was split open by a slash from Demon Lord Duan Yue, and he transformed into escape light, escaping from within.

But just as he emerged, darkness loomed overhead.

"Ah—"

He quickly looked up, only to see the previous stone mountain appearing above him out of nowhere, pressing straight down.

Mountain Crushing Technique!

He threw the giant axe in his hand, the axe growing larger against the wind and supporting the Spirit Platform Fangcun Mountain, while he lifted both hands to hold the mountain’s base.

But at this moment.

His heart suddenly panicked, as if sensing some great terror.

"Not good!"

He knew it was a bad situation.

"Sizzle—"

Five faint sounds sliced through the sky, seemingly carrying a hint of lightning’s might.

In his Divine Sense perception, they were five flying swords flickering with electric light.

Initially appearing from behind that man in green, they swiftly reached before him in an instant.

Though evil qi protected him, when faced with these lightning flying swords, he still felt a strong threat.

"Fall!"

With a thought from Ji Yuan, the Yin Corpse Demon Fire retracted, and a Lightning Mother Sword, leading the other four Child Swords, descended together with Purple Sky Divine Thunder.

"Boom——"

"Sizzle——"

Around the Spirit Platform Fangcun Mountain, no dark clouds surged, there was only rampant purple thunder.

"Ah!!!"

Demon Lord Duan Yue, originally bearing the giant mountain with both hands, was instantly injured. Under the Yin Corpse Demon Fire, the intense evil qi on his body could barely sustain a few breaths more.

But under the Purple Sky Divine Thunder, which specifically counteracts evil demons, the evil qi on his body couldn’t even hold for a single breath before being directly shattered.

The Purple Sky Divine Thunder struck his physique, just in one strike.

The demon body, which Demon Lord Duan Yue always prided himself on, became the source of his torment.

The excruciating pain from his body nearly drove Demon Lord Duan Yue to collapse, but the threat of death kept him alert.

He drove his Lifebound Magical Treasure with his mind, letting the Earth-Splitting Demon Axe continue to enlarge, forcibly sustaining the Spirit Platform Fangcun Mountain.

He managed to free himself, swung his fists, endured the severe pain, and overturned two flying swords, while his form with countless Purple Sky Divine Thunder, plummeted towards the ground.

At this moment, it seemed as if he was struck down from the sky by Ji Yuan.

His form like a meteor from outer space, plummeting directly down.

"My husband!!!"

From far away, the Female Cultivator battling Criminal Frost screamed anxiously.

She never expected that her perceived duo-star fiends would be thwarted by this Core Formation Early-stage... no, damn it, it’s Core Formation Mid-stage!

At this point, Ji Yuan had already fully engaged.

The Concealing Breath Spell failed, and the Transformation Talisman also failed.

Exposing his true cultivation, he still left the Female Cultivator feeling hard to accept.

How could Core Formation Mid-stage be a match, when my husband is in the Core Formation Late-stage!

With the Demon Body activated, even able to trade moves with Peak of Core Formation, how... how could...

"Puff—

Suddenly she felt intense pain striking her shoulder, almost being sent flying.

Across from her, Criminal Frost smirked and said, "Daring to be distracted when fighting me, really don’t know how you might die!"

"... "

"I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!"

Seeing Demon Lord Duan Yue land, Ji Yuan thought of borrowing earthly power to resist the Purple Sky Divine Thunder’s might or perhaps planning to escape, but neither mattered now.

Because just as Demon Lord Duan Yue landed, taking him as the center, five flying swords again surged from the surrounding ground.

"Wh—what?!"

His expression was filled with disbelief.

Before landing, he had carefully sensed; the ground seemed devoid of any methods, so he dared to land.

Yet how, after landing, these flying swords had long been lying in ambush?!

In the sky, his form had already reached the top of Spirit Platform Fangcun Mountain again, stamping heavily on the ground, Ji Yuan beckoned with his right hand, a conical hat flew out from the earth and entered his sleeve.

Early on when he released the Yin Ghost Banner, he had concealed the Miracle Treasure within the conical hat, along with several flying swords, hidden underground.

This was all for this moment!

"Thunder—kill!"

As Ji Yuan stomped the ground, his heart thought fell.
