Ji Yuan faced off against the empowered Demon Lord Duan Yue, who could enhance his strength with earthly power. Despite Duan Yue's powerful defenses, Ji Yuan's Yin Corpse Demon Fire and lightning-infused flying swords inflicted severe damage. Duan Yue was struck by Purple Sky Divine Thunder and plummeted to the ground, seemingly defeated, while his female ally was injured by Criminal Frost. However, as Duan Yue landed, Ji Yuan revealed hidden flying swords that had been waiting in ambush, poised for a decisive blow.

Immediately, the circle around Demon Lord Duan Yue’s body was surrounded by those five Canglan Swords, revealing the Purple Sky Divine Thunder.

Plus, the five Thunder Strike Flying Swords fell from above his head.

In their overlap, the valley seemed to transform into an ocean of lightning.

An ocean of Purple Sky Divine Thunder!

"Ah!!!"

Demon Lord Duan Yue, who had already endured one strike of the Purple Sky Divine Thunder, now collided with a second.

His already injured body was utterly incapable of resisting this second Purple Sky Divine Thunder.

Hurriedly, he trembled as he pulled out a... talisman from his storage bag!

The talisman appeared damaged, showing signs of wear everywhere; Demon Lord Duan Yue crushed it immediately after taking it out.

In an instant, a flickering flame appeared in his hand.

A Bronze Glazed Lamp, with a deep blue flame burning on top.

The moment this flame appeared, it shielded his body; the Purple Sky Divine Thunder surrounding him seemed frozen, staying in place.

"This is... a True Treasure?!"

Upon seeing this scene, Ji Yuan’s heart instantly understood.

If it isn’t a True Treasure, there’s no way it would possess such power!

It must be a True Treasure crafted by a Nascent Soul Monster with his lifebound magical treasure to withstand the Purple Sky Divine Thunder.

And Demon Lord Duan Yue, after using this True Treasure and guarding his body, immediately dispersed his demonic power.

Otherwise, with his demon body exposed, the energy consumption of the True Treasure would be even faster.

Just when Ji Yuan thought he would take advantage of the True Treasure’s might and engage in a battle with him, he surprisingly... escaped!

Holding the Bronze Glazed Lamp, he leaped up and transformed into an escape light, heading straight towards the southeast.

The moment his late-stage Core Formation strength was displayed, the speed was extremely fast, almost disappearing to the horizon in the blink of an eye.

And the female cultivator fighting with Daoist Xing was to his northwest.

One headed southeast, one northwest.

During a dire situation, everyone flies their own way.

The seductive woman was filled with immense agony, but fortunately, she remained somewhat clear-headed, desperately trying to resist Daoist Xing’s attacks as she shouted:

"Daoist Xing, spare... spare my life! All of this was under the orders of Old Demon Duan Yue; I meant no harm to you!"

Daoist Xing said nothing, only drawing his bow even faster.

Ji Yuan looked back and transmitted to Daoist Xing: "Kill her!"

"I’ll go after Duan Yue."

Since she clashed with Ji Yuan, learned of his Yin Corpse Demon Fire and Purple Sky Divine Thunder techniques, and even saw his true appearance... Such a person cannot be allowed to escape!

After Ji Yuan finished transmitting, he summoned with heart thought: "Lightning Pursuit!"

When his voice fell, his figure immediately turned into a flash of lightning and vanished.

His speed was actually faster than Demon Lord Duan Yue at late-stage Core Formation.

Even Daoist Xing, witnessing the scene, was stunned.

’This Old Demon Ji’s methods... are truly numerous. His skills in combat are so strong, and his escape techniques so fast—it’s unbeatable in a fight, and impossible to escape!’

Daoist Xing thought, speeding up his actions!

Not to mention Ji Yuan telling her to kill the person in front of her, she herself wanted to kill her!

The seductive woman realized she couldn’t resist, only thinking of escape.

The more she intended to retreat, the more flaws appeared.

Very soon, Daoist Xing seized the opportunity, thrashing her like a dog fallen into water.

...

"Damn it, this person isn’t Mo Tu Sheng, who on earth has Yin Corpse Demon Fire, and even the Purple Sky Divine Thunder! So many Purple Sky Stones refined into flying swords, I’ve never heard of so many Purple Sky Stones in the Jiyuan Continent!"

Demon Lord Duan Yue held the Bronze Glazed Lamp, protecting himself, madly fleeing southeast.

"No, this speed needs to be faster. Let me think... go to North Jiang to find that pesky fisherman! Now that woman surely can’t survive, at worst, I’ll share half of Kui Xing Island with that fisherman, even if it means killing this Ji together!"

With a decision made, Demon Lord Duan Yue accelerated again.

But at that moment, he realized a figure was chasing him rapidly from behind, far surpassing him in speed.

It even reached the speed of peak Core Formation.

... Who the hell is this?!

Upon seeing the chaser’s appearance, Demon Lord Duan Yue started swearing.

Mid-stage Core Formation, strong in combat, is one thing.

Now even the escape techniques are exaggerated. Even if Mo Tu Sheng, the disciple of a Nascent Soul Monster, was here, he wouldn’t be this powerful!

At this speed, forget about reaching North Jiang, I might not even get past the mountain ahead.

Unable to escape, Demon Lord Duan Yue stopped running.

Holding the Bronze Glazed Lamp in his left hand, he stopped and turned back, saying in a deep voice, "Daoist friend, we have no past grievances, why press me so hard?"

"If you let me go today, I will repay you generously another day... No, I’m willing to offer my entire wealth."

"Just begging for your mercy!"

Ji Yuan manifested his form; the Chasing Lightning Cloud transformed into aura, floating by his side.

As he stopped, he raised his right hand high, sending out five Canglan Swords; four child swords swiftly joined together, merging into the mother sword, transforming into a Giant Sword and falling from the sky.

"Killing you is just the same for me!"

Ji Yuan scoffed.

"Fall!"

The Canglan Sword fell, Purple Sky Divine Thunder emerged again, forcing Demon Lord Duan Yue to raise the Bronze Glazed Lamp high to let its flame repel the falling Purple Sky Divine Thunder.

Now, the only thought left in Demon Lord Duan Yue’s mind—

That is, he firmly believes Ji Yuan’s Purple Sky Divine Thunder is limited!
