Lightning flashed across the sky.After the fla storm in Sunscorch Valley subsided, a torrential rain always followed.In the rain, Xia Li quietly took in everything before him.The curses were drowned out beneath the sound of the downpour.The xiao demon and Mo Ye feared Xia Li's previous thods and were afraid he might ignite himself again.So both imdiately gave the order:"Entire army, attack! Suppress the traitor!""Kill!"One hundred thousand demon soldiers and human troops charged toward Xia Li in perfect unison.Seeing this, Xia Li suddenly laughed.These two so-called geniuses, aside from using the strong to bully the weak and using numbers to crush a single opponent, what else could they do?One hundred thousand troops might indeed be many, and the will ford by their gathering was formidable.But this was an unjust army.There was no real resolve to fight to the death in their hearts.They were nothing but a mob."Heaven Chip, lock onto all targets.""Disable constant-temperature mode.""Open dorsal heat dissipation.""Exterminate all enemies."【Command received】The first soldiers of both races to reach Xia Li flooded around him like a human sea.Then...from the very center of that tide of bodies, azure-blue flas suddenly erupted.They vaporized the rain.They vaporized flesh and blood together with the rain, burning both into ash.Whoever dared approach Xia Li found death marked in steps:cross ten steps, and you burned.Cross three, and you beca ash.Xia Li raised one hand.The terrifying energy within his dantian gathered without cease.Then he directly fired a high-temperature disintegration beam, slicing through the enemy ranks."Shield troops, move up and hold the line!""Main force, fall back and maintain distance! Archers, prepare!""Entire army, Spirit-Piercing Arrows ready!"The xiao demon and Mo Ye imdiately ordered the whole army to fire.Humans and demons alike rapidly withdrew from Xia Li. Within a few short seconds, they all drew and nocked their arrows.Then ca a full rain of arrows.The arrows mixed with the downpour and fell together.In response, Xia Li rely lifted his right arm slightly.The stellar golden core had not only firepower.It also possessed another terrifying capability, one normally constrained by the space of the dantian.That capability was stellar gravity.By using the Spirit Core and Heaven Chip together, Xia Li could briefly distort gravity in a directed way so that it did not necessarily have to center on himself."Kneel."Xia Li shouted.At once, every enemy around him felt their bodies grow heavy.So soldiers whose cultivation was too weak cried out and dropped straight from the sky, smashing into the ground in sprays of blood and flesh.The arrows flying toward Xia Li beca just another part of the rainstorm.Their tips all turned downward and fell to the earth.The seemingly terrifying rain of ten thousand arrows...not one arrow reached him.The xiao demon and Mo Ye exchanged a glance, both filled with shock.Techniques that increased gravity were usually accomplished through treasures or formations.As for a cultivator doing it purely through their own ans, only one thing could make that possible:a domain.But domains were the thods of great powers, the symbol of the Void Refining realm.That was why the gap between Soul Transformation and Void Refining was so vast."Entire army, fall back! Bring up the City-Breaker Cannon!"Mo Ye gave his next order without hesitation.The more terrifying Xia Li appeared, the less willing he and the xiao demon were to move personally.Unless every soldier died, they would simply grind Xia Li down to death.From the rear of the army, a gigantic spiritual-energy cannon dozens of ters tall was hauled forward.It was a weapon found only in human armies. Demonkind did not possess such things.It was also one of the Demon-Hunting Army's great killer weapons.A siege-class treasure.It specialized in breaking all kinds of formation protection and could also shatter unstable domains produced by domain-type treasures.They did not believe Xia Li truly possessed a domain.It had to be so rare domain treasure at work.Anyone seeing that thing aid at them would probably feel their scalp go numb.Even Soul Transformation cultivators would turn pale at the sight.And yet Xia Li's face remained calm.There was even mockery on it.With proper mysterious Dao techniques available, these people chose to rely on a weapon that had plenty of brute force but little adaptability?"Heaven Chip, analyze the energy frequency. Adjust the Spirit Core to absorption mode. Right arm, Hestia, prepare for energy conversion. Cooling system, prepare for an instant large-scale heat dump."Xia Li made no move to stop the City-Breaker Cannon as it charged.That left the soldiers trying to hold him back watching him closely in confusion.He did not dodge.He did not interrupt them.He rely stood there.Had he already resigned himself to death?But the thousands of soldiers supplying spiritual energy into the cannon did not relax for a single mont.Ten breaths later...a blinding cyan beam burst from the cannon's mouth and shot straight toward Xia Li.Xia Li raised his right arm.

The steel skin across his back suddenly split apart, revealing multiple vertical vents.At the sa ti, under the Heaven Chip's adjustnts, the stellar golden core had already prepared to increase its rotational speed instantly and strengthen its gravitational pull.The next mont...the cyan beam struck Xia Li,but every bit of it was absorbed through his arm and drawn into his body.An imnse quantity of energy rushed toward his dantian.From Xia Li's back, green fire exploded outward, vaporizing the rain into steam.A full two seconds passed before the cyan beam finally faded.Xia Li's shirt had already been burned away completely, but there was not the slightest burn mark on his skin.Everyone present stared in shock, their faces full of disbelief and fear.How was that possible?That was the City-Breaker Cannon.A direct hit could kill even a Soul Transformation cultivator.But what ca next shocked them even more.Xia Li took a deep breath.He could not swallow that much energy outright.What he could do...was cycle it once and return it at double force."Hestia, full power!"【Hestia has entered Overclock】Xia Li felt his right arm grow scorching hot.It was already beginning to burn the joint where it connected to his shoulder, and it was becoming hard to control.He imdiately seized his right arm with his left hand to help steady the aim and pointed it directly toward the City-Breaker Cannon above the valley.At that very mont, the cannon's second shot was also ready.Another cyan beam erupted forth...and from Xia Li's arm, an eye-searing cyan-blue ray shot out to et it head-on.The two collided, and within only a brief mont...the cyan beam was forced back.The xiao demon and Mo Ye went pale with fright.They did not even have ti to warn their own soldiers to run before they themselves first retreated away from the cannon.The cyan-blue beam, driving the cannon's own shot back with it, struck the City-Breaker Cannon directly.The next instant,with a roar like ten thousand thunderclaps at once, a raging shockwave swept across Sunscorch Valley.Even the rain, which had been pouring in linked sheets, was blown backward into the sky.A mushroom-shaped black cloud slowly rose.Nearly ten thousand soldiers close to the City-Breaker Cannon were annihilated on the spot, leaving not even bones behind.Even those farther away were caught in the blast and slamd into the valley walls, bursting open with wet pops.But that still was not the end.Because the stellar golden core had been forcefully accelerated in an instant, it had also released an enormous amount of firepower beyond what Xia Li's dantian could contain.The green flas blasting from his back rapidly shifted to azure-blue.And in the palm of Hestia, the prosthetic arm, another unbearable blue radiance lit up.This ti...Xia Li could not control it.The recoil hurled his entire body backward.He no longer had ti to control the direction of his aim.As a result, the azure laser scattered wildly in all directions.Fortunately, Xia Li was the one being besieged.There was not a single ally anywhere around him.Even Qiu Fu was hiding inside the Blackstone Ancient Hall.So there was no need to fear friendly fire.By the ti the laser barrage ended, Sunscorch Valley had beco a complete ruin.The surrounding cliff walls had lted, lava running down from them, while the demons and human soldiers alike wailed in agony.And yet perhaps because a desperate army fights hardest, they only grew more frenzied.No order from the xiao demon or Mo Ye was required.They surged in like a tidal wave, hoping to exploit what they assud was Xia Li's brief exhaustion.But would Xia Li truly run out of montum?His stellar golden core had not even entered Overheat yet."Permission granted to use Virtual Spirit Avatar!"Xia Li abruptly increased the stellar golden core's energy output.Behind him, a giant humanoid figure of azure fla one hundred ters tall instantly took shape.With a single slap from the giant's hand, the charging soldiers did not even have ti to scream.They ignited on the spot and were blown into ash by the wind.Every lift of the giant's hand ant the disappearance of hundreds or thousands of lives.Even the downpour could not extinguish the ash.The flas boiled away the rain.White vapor surged toward the sky and actually tore open a gap in the heavy black clouds.A shaft of sunlight descended and fell upon Xia Li, making him look almost holy.Like an immortal of fire.Like a god of the sun.What remained of the demon soldiers and human troops were terrified out of their wits.No one dared charge forward again.At so point, one of them suddenly let out a cry and turned to flee...and once that happened, the collapse spread like a mountain falling apart.A hundred thousand human and demon troops had been beaten by Xia Li alone until they threw away their armor and broke in total defeat.The rain still fell.The rainwater was scalding hot.Yet as it struck the humans and demons of Sunscorch Valley, it did nothing to warm their frozen hearts.For they had seen it.And they had understood.Beneath the reflection of those azure flas,what a true genius really was.
