Lu Qingshan uncovered Luohu's hiding demonic cavern in the Black Armor Domain's abyss, shrouded in endless demonic qi. Two Luohu figures emerged, the incarnation proudly revealing the newly formed Heart of the Demon Holy. Lu Qingshan unleashed the pent-up Power of the Mountains and Seas through his seven life-bound swords, overwhelming their defenses and inflicting grievous wounds on Luohu's true form.

Luohu obviously had no intention of facing off against Lu Qingshan right now.

"Hehehe, the massacre you unleashed in my Black Armor Domain lately—I’ll make your Human Race pay back a hundred times over!"

A piercing cackle escaped Luohu's incarnation, followed by waves of deep purple light rippling out from his form.

In a flash, he burst apart like a bursting bubble, vanishing right before their eyes from existence, his laughter alone lingering to reverberate across sky and land.

This was... the Void Clan's Bloodline Divine Ability, command over space!

Facing Luohu's shattered yet formidable frame, Lu Qingshan's face turned somber, his eyes filled with gravity.

Despite the short clash without true combat, Lu Qingshan already felt the terrifying might of the Heart of the Demon Holy.

Beyond the raging Blood Qi, Luohu's Asura Clan incarnation using the Void Demon Clan's Bloodline Divine Ability highlighted the Heart of the Demon Holy's immense power.

Could this imply that the Heart of the Demon Holy grants Luohu all the Divine Skills from the Eight Great Holy Demon Clans combined in one?

Putting it in gaming lingo, Luohu currently boasts all eight Legendary Talents granted to him.

Previously, Lu Qingshan held total certainty in overpowering Luohu,

but now that Luohu wields the Heart of the Demon Holy, his edge has diminished greatly, leaving it unclear who would emerge victorious in an all-out battle.

Nevertheless, Luohu had no plans to settle the fight here and now.

For him, this marked merely the start, with his true peak still distant.

He needed to forge the Demon Holy Physical Body, merging flesh and Primordial Spirit as one, ascending to the Demon Holy Realm.

Three major obstacles remained ahead, each promising a massive transformation.

So, Luohu decisively abandoned his current form, buying himself yet another escape.

"Let me toy with you a little first." With a wicked smirk, Luohu's original body—left behind by his "Luohu's Incarnation"—declared.

Though badly wounded, his vital energy remained vigorous.

Fierce light flashed in his eyes, burning with unyielding resolve. Knowing full well this Holy Realm form couldn't match Lu Qingshan, he charged forward anyway.

Luohu's half-Saint Realm body whipped out a devastating palm strike in reverse, as though crushing the cosmos itself, enveloping Lu Qingshan entirely.

Lu Qingshan remained motionless on the spot, letting the massive palm descend upon him.

The very next moment, dazzling light exploded across the heavens and earth, boundless earthy yellow aura surged forth like coiling dragons, slamming outward in every direction and hurling that palm aside.

"Die!"

Luohu's original body bellowed fiercely.

Unleashing his utmost power, a Heavenly Dragon's roar thundered from within him, more horrifying than the birth of the world.

Lu Qingshan unleashed a mighty roar in response, brandishing his Demon Suppressing Sword to cut down everything before him.

Sword Qi raged past, Sword Light blazed across, forcing the half-Saint Realm Luohu to stumble back repeatedly.

Boom!

Reluctant even in retreat, Luohu launched a punch from above, smashing toward Lu Qingshan.

Lu Qingshan's Demon Suppressing Sword gleamed with radiant Sword Light, meeting it head-on.

Bam!

From this direct collision, Luohu spewed blood and got blasted away, his gravely damaged Divine Demon Body cracking further apart.

Even aware that Luohu's incarnation with the Heart of the Demon Holy posed the real danger, Lu Qingshan refused to spare the original body.

He surged his Sword Qi, instantly releasing every bit of Demonic Qi stored in the Demon Suppressing Sword, turning the battle around.

Poof!

Half-Saint blood painted the immense sky red.

"Ah!" Luohu's original body howled as his form exploded apart, sliced open by Lu Qingshan.

Though he expected this when trading his body to save his incarnation, Luohu's original body never imagined dying so effortlessly.

Yet how could he predict that in mere months, Lu Qingshan had grown strong enough to dismantle his half-Saint body using Sword Immortal Realm might so casually?

Severed in two, Luohu's body fought to reform, desperately attempting to piece itself back together.

Lu Qingshan roared, swinging the Demon Suppressing Sword once more, its supreme Demon Suppressing power aimed straight at Luohu's Primordial Spirit to erase him for good.

With no way out, Luohu's original body snarled in fury, "You won't enjoy this either!"

Immediately, his flesh self-destructed, dissolving into a shower of sky-spanning lights, detonating utterly.

Right at that instant, Luohu, driven by fury, ignited his Essence Blood, self-destructing in a bid to pull Lu Qingshan to his doom.

For Luohu, once the Heart of the Demon Holy was attained, this half-Saint Realm body was already utterly disposable.

Rumble!

Suddenly, colossal power erupted, as torrential Demonic Qi blanketed the area, intent on swallowing and obliterating Lu Qingshan.

Confronted by this dire threat, Lu Qingshan's face showed no hint of alarm.

Immediately, the Heaven and Earth Sword positioned itself in front of Lu Qingshan, forming an expansive pristine sky that welcomed every attack, devouring all the Demonic Qi, all the force, all the strikes.

Heaven and Earth Divine Skills.

"You..." Luohu's original body, gasping its final breath, beheld this sight, stunned yet harboring little remorse.

It had only been a mere trial; success would be nice, failure irrelevant.

Ultimately, the outcome was inevitable regardless.

.......

Luohu's incarnation withdrew.

The true body met its end.

Heaven and earth restored their tranquility and purity.

Lu Qingshan stood alone amid the desolate wasteland.

As though he alone existed in the boundless world.

Moments later, a woman dressed in an elegant ancient palace gown materialized next to Lu Qingshan.

"Young Master, what do we do now? Continue the search?"

Lu Qingshan paused in silence for a bit, then shook his head. "Let's go back."

Now that the Heart of the Demon Holy was formed, Luohu no longer needed to restrict his lair to the Black Armor Domain.

Across the endless abyss, he could hide anywhere.

How could they possibly locate him?

Luohu's path to becoming a Saint was now inevitable.
