The red dragon was already a demon emperor in the Divine Beast-Human War. He was Demon Emperor Redraco, and the scars from his encounter with the Dragon Emperor still lingered on his body. The cyan bird was also one of the leaders during the Divine Beast-Human War, a descendant of the Phoenix Clan known as Qingluan. Her na was Demon Empress Bluefeather.
A brilliant light shot out of the Kunlun Mirror, illuminating the space around the Demon Emperor Redraco and Demon Empress Bluefeather. Ti slowed a hundred tis for Demon Emperor Redraco while slowing seventy tis for Demon Empress Bluefeather.
ngfei's figure vanished from Demon Emperor Blacktiger's sight and reappeared next to Demon Emperor Redraco. Accompanying her were hundreds of clear crystalline swords. Demon Emperor Redraco roared in pain as the hundreds of swords embedded themselves nearly hilt-deep into him. Similarly, Demon Empress Bluefeather also shrieked in pain from the hundreds of swords sticking in her.
ngfei slashed with the black crystalline sword in her hand. Blood spurted from Demon Emperor Redraco's body, but to her surprise, her blade only managed to cut halfway into his arm. She had wanted to slice through it entirely.
Ti had slowed down to the point that Demon Emperor Redraco only saw a hazy blur, but he knew that the three of them together were not ngfei's opponent. Earlier, she was just wary of Demon Emperor Blacktiger's innate ability.
Red draconic qi exploded from his body and ford a domain that shielded him slightly from the Kunlun Mirror's effect. By then, it was too late as ngfei disappeared from his sight, leaving her crystalline sword still stuck in his arm, and reappeared behind Demon Empress Bluefeather. "Watch out!"
He had tried to warn his compatriot, but it was too late. ngfei slashed down with a newly-ford crystalline sword, bifurcating Demon Empress Bluefeather's wing from her body, causing her to shriek even more miserably.
At this ti, Demon Emperor Redraco knew he could no longer hold back, and his whiskers turned a golden color. They weren't his natural whiskers or a secret technique but the divine artifact, Yellow Dragon Whiskers.
They elongated until they were over a million ters long, shattering the crystalline swords embedded into his and Demon Empress Bluefeather's bodies. More importantly, they disrupted the ti dilation effect of the Kunlun Mirror.
The Yellow Dragon Whiskers stretched and grabbed Demon Emperor Blacktiger and the floating landmass holding the demons and whipped at ngfei. She quickly stored Demon Empress Bluefeather's severed wing and raised her sword.
When the Yellow Dragon Whiskers struck her, the Kunlun Mirror encased her in a protective silver light, preventing her from shooting across the Vast Void, but the attack shattered her crystalline sword and struck her on the torso.
ngfei grunted as black crystalline dust burst out from the attacked area. At the last mont, she had ford countless black crystals to shield her. Although the gold whisker didn't directly land on her, it still caused a massive amount of internal damage.
Under the Kunlun Mirror's silver light, ti began to reverse, healing her injuries. ngfei waved her hands, and exactly ninety-nine crystalline swords appeared, each inscribed with runes. With a single hand seal, they ford a unique pattern containing the Law of Heaven-Earth-Man.
"Don't hold back anymore!" Demon Emperor Redraco shouted. "Although we are one short, we must combine our innate abilities!"
Demon Emperor Blacktiger gritted his teeth and activated White Tiger Roar. So innate abilities did not have a price, while others did. His innate ability, like the others, required him to burn their blood essence and tax his willpower. He had already exhausted himself once, but at this rate, holding back was not an option.
Despite losing her wing, Demon Empress Bluefeather activated her innate ability, Vermillion Bird's Sacred Fire. A gigantic bird of crimson appeared behind Demon Empress Bluefeather; each of its feathers resembled burning flas of the highest quality.
As the least injured of the three, Demon Emperor Redraco's manifestation of the azure dragon displayed the most significant pressure. The apparition of the Azure Dragon roared and struck out with its gleaming claw, Azure Dragon's Claw.
The Azure Dragon's claw, White Tiger's roar, and Vermillion Bird's sacred fire all rged, forming a pitch-black wave that shot toward ngfei.
ngfei imdiately summoned her Tri-Unity World. This was not the first ti she or the Buzhou Immortal Sect saw this combination attack. During the Divine Beast-Human War, the four demon emperors descending from the Four Divine Beasts unleashed this attack, known as the Four Elent Annihilation.
The Azure Dragon represented the Law of Wood, the White Tiger represented the Law of tal, the Vermillion Bird represented the Law of Fire, and the Black Tortoise represented the Law of Water. According to theory, it had an even superior level, the Five Elent Annihilation, but it required the addition of the Yellow Dragon's innate ability.
All things were ford from the five elents. Thus, the Five Elent Annihilation could destroy everything. Through research into this, the Buzhou Immortal Sect created the Five Elent Destruction Formation and improved the Chaos Refining Formation.
Against the Five Elent Annihilation, an attack that likely reached the divine level, ngfei would have needed to fear for her life. Even the Four Elent Annihilation, it would have likely reached the half divine-level, but the Three Elent Annihilation?
The Tri-Unity World behind ngfei exploded with the essence of the five elents. They clashed against the Three Elent Annihilation, with neither side giving an inch. The two sides had reached a stalemate.
However, Demon Emperor Redraco knew they were at a disadvantage. Compared to ngfei, Demon Emperor Blacktiger and Demon Empress Bluefeather were too injured and wouldn't last long.
Left with no choice, the Yellow Dragon Whiskers released a golden light emitting an earthly aura. That aura shot into the Three Elent Annihilation, significantly strengthening it. Consequently, the Yellow Dragon Whiskers lost their luster.
ngfei grunted as she was forced back. In her perception, the Three Elent Annihilation suddenly transford into the Four Elent Annihilation. Furthermore, it was not a regular Four Elent Annihilation but one that had the Law of Earth.
"Mother, spaceti is locked, I can't form a passage into the Nine Heavens Universe with this conduit's power!" the palm-sized Tianyi shouted.
Wood represented east, fire represented south, tal represented west, water represented north, and earth represented the center. As the central elent, the Law of Earth acted as the rging point of the five elents. As such, the Four Elent Annihilation greatly exceeded her expectations.
She began to focus everything on defense. Next, ngfei controlled the ninety-nine crystalline swords to form a defensive formation, one with ninety-nine layers. One by one, the Four Elent Annihilation broke through each layer swiftly but lost nearly ten percent of its overall energy.
Three figures erged from her body and stood protectively in front of her. They were her three incarnations of heaven, earth, and man. The aura of ti around her increased. At the sa ti, the Kunlun Mirror shot a ray of light on the Four Elent Annihilation, causing the four elents that composed it to destabilize.
ngfei's Man Incarnation charged straight at the incoming Four Elent Annihilation and attacked. The incarnation shattered beyond repair, but it accomplished its goal as the Four Elent Annihilation's energy dropped. Next, her Earth Incarnation charged, followed by her Heaven Incarnation.
After her incarnations of heaven, earth, and man sacrificed themselves again, the Four Elent Annihilation's energy had plumted to thirty to forty percent.
ngfei's body turned epheral as she rged with her Tri-Unity World. The Four Elent Annihilation entered her world, and the long grind between it and the world began. It seed like an eternity, yet it also occurred in an instant.
The Four Elent Annihilation disappeared, and the Tri-Unity World disappeared, revealing ngfei. Outwardly, she appeared uninjured, but her face was pale. Her soul had been damaged.
She gazed toward where the demons had once been. As she expected, they had disappeared. Her injuries would take a few decades to heal, but the three demon emperors would need hundreds, possibly thousands, for Demon Empress Bluefeather.
ngfei reached into her robes and pulled out the palm-sized Tianyi. She sighed in relief, "You're fine."
"What the hell?" the palm-sized Tianyi shouted. "You didn't need to protect . I'm just a conduit, I can just condense another one!"
"Even if you are one of many, you are irreplaceable to ," ngfei said. "I can't stand to even see a strand of your hair gone."
The palm-sized Tianyi clutched his chest, not knowing what to say. He didn't have a chance to say anything as ngfei stuffed him back into her robes and flew back to the Huang Realm. She still had to report the matter back to Sect Master Xia. In the Divine Beast-Human War, they never showed the ability to add the Law of Earth to the Four Elent Annihilation. If they ford a Five Elent Annihilation, they would have to make more contingencies for the next war.
After reporting to Sect Master Xia, ngfei returned to Jade Peak Palace. However, she wouldn't stay there for long. Ignoring her soul injuries, she would also need ti to form her incarnations of heaven, earth, and man again. And the best place to recuperate would be in Tianyi's Nine Heavens Universe.
The palm-sized Tianyi floated out of her robes and ford a portal leading to the Ninth Heaven of his inner universe. Although reluctant to part with the conduit, ngfei entered. There, she saw the Concealed Palace of the alternate tiline. It was no longer nad the Concealed Palace but Nine Heavens Palace after Tianyi refined and redesigned it.
ngfei spread her senses, but she couldn't find any trace of Tianyi. Or, more accurately, she could sense Tianyi's presence everywhere. Although not fully satisfied, ngfei made her way to her allotted room.
Just as she entered, the dense lotus fragrance entered her nose. Her eyes slightly widened as she saw a Sovereign Nine Yin Lotus floating in the middle of her room. Unconsciously, the corner of her lips curled upward.
On the floating landmass, Donghai Longzi paced back and forth while wringing his hands behind his back. Although he didn't inherit everything from Tianyi, he still had Tianyi's love for family, so seeing ngfei at a disadvantage really worried him. To prevent the demons from discovering anything wrong, the conduit assigned to him was sealed, so he couldn't get any updates either.
"Don't worry, young wyrmling. The humans will fall, and the demons will rise once more, like during his majesty Emperor Di Jun's era," Demon Emperor Redraco comforted, not knowing Donghai Longzi's true thoughts.
As a mber of the Dragon Clan, Demon Emperor Redraco was especially partial to Donghai Longzi. He had never seen the exact dragon bloodline species that Donghai Longzi could transform into, but it didn't prevent him from speculating. Perhaps Donghai Longzi's bloodline had mutated, like him.
Demon Emperor Redraco wasn't originally a true dragon but a mixed-blood. When he advanced to Demon King Realm, his bloodline evolved and mutated, transforming him into a Scarletblood Dragon.
Seeing that Donghai Longzi still paced back and forth, Demon Emperor Redraco no longer said anything. Once Donghai Longzi truly entered the Divine Beast Pseudo System, he would learn of their confidence to compete with the Huang and Numinous Realms.
Instead, he focused on steering the floating landmass. The Vast Void was devoid of qi or essence, so both Demon Empress Bluefeather and Demon Emperor Blacktiger entered a hibernation state to halt their injuries until they could treat them in the Divine Beast Realm.
When they neared the Divine Beast Pseudo System, Demon Emperor Redraco placed a seal on the senses of every demon they brought. This was a precaution against all possible spies from the two immortal-ranked realms.
Upon entering, Demon Emperor Redraco's spirit lifted as he felt the welcoming thrum of the Divine Beast Pseudo System. He lifted the seal and allowed the newcor demons to sense the welcoming atmosphere. Unconsciously, each one of them instinctively showed an elated expression.
