Liu Bai's sudden attack did not throw the four Demon Emperors into disarray, but they clearly had not expected that his target was not them.
When the spatial passage was destroyed by the vast Spiritual Energy, the four Demons were visibly stunned.
"Is he trying to cut off our retreat?"
The leading Profound Demon Emperor let out a cold laugh. In his eyes, Liu Bai's actions were utterly meaningless!
"Do not be careless! I know this person. He was the one who defeated us in the Sacred Ancient Abyss and ultimately caused our plan to fail. I never expected that he would have already become a Heavenly Sovereign. Be wary of his methods, and he also possesses an extremely powerful treasure!"
Shi Tianxiang spoke up to warn the others.
It was not that she had turned traitor and stabbed them in the back. This had all been arranged beforehand. Next, she would voluntarily suggest dealing with Mu Chen, while the remaining three targets would conveniently be left to Liu Bai.
"Hmph, Shi Tianxiang, it seems you've become frightened. Fine then. You can go deal with that Mu Chen. Leave this one to me!"
One of the Late Phase Abyss Demon Emperors sneered mockingly.
Shi Tianxiang glanced at him, and a trace of icy indifference flashed through her pitch black eyes, as though she were looking at a dead man.
Afterward, she said nothing more and directly flew toward Mu Chen. Midway, a torrent of demonic energy surged forth and blocked his path.
The leading Profound Demon Emperor was clearly more cautious. He had taken Shi Tianxiang's warning seriously. Looking at Liu Bai, he immediately said to the other two Demons:
"Attack together. Kill him first!"
The two Demons did not object.
Immediately, all three Demon Emperors raised their heads and roared. Boundless demonic energy burst from behind them, filling the heavens and earth.
As the demonic sounds entered his ears, Liu Bai could not help but frown.
Because within those sounds, he seemed to sense something unusual.
Roar!
Accompanied by the sound, hundreds of skeletal corpse beasts shot forth explosively. Each skeletal corpse beast emitted extremely powerful fluctuations.
These skeletal corpse beasts had clearly been carefully refined by the three Demons. Every one of them was incomparably powerful. Especially the three leading beasts, which were their natal corpse beasts. Even a Late Phase Spirit Grade Heavenly Sovereign would not meet a good end if they encountered them.
Faced with this scene, Liu Bai's expression remained unchanged.
With a casual wave of his hand, a massive spiritual disk flew out.
The moment the disk appeared, dragon roars, phoenix cries, tiger howls, and serpent hisses echoed through the sky.
The Innate Five Spirits representing the Five Elements surged upward from the disk, occupying the five cardinal positions of heaven and earth. They formed a Five Elements Array and unleashed boundless spiritual radiance, slaughtering their way through the corpse beast horde.
At the same time, Liu Bai's hands were already releasing countless Spiritual Seals.
Within only a few breaths, an Array had already taken shape.
It was precisely the Void Spiritual Array from the Array disk Kong Ling'er had brought into the Divine Transformation Pool, now evolved and renamed by Liu Bai as the Immortal Trapping Array!
The moment the Array formed, space was instantly isolated.
Even an Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign could be trapped for several days.
Since he already knew these Demon Emperors possessed methods such as the Demon Summoning Talisman, Liu Bai naturally would not be unprepared.
After all, facing three Demon Emperors at once required caution. If these fellows found an opportunity to summon the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor, he would truly have overplayed his hand.
The Profound Demon Emperor on the opposite side immediately understood Liu Bai's intentions when he sensed the surrounding space becoming sealed.
Although his expression turned solemn, he was not overly shocked.
After all, he did not believe that a Middle Phase Spirit Grade Heavenly Sovereign could do anything significant against three Demon Emperors.
However, Liu Bai's Innate Five Spirits Disk did surprise him somewhat.
The corpse beasts refined by their Corpse Demon Clan all carried powerful corpse poison.
Even Spiritual Energy could be corroded by it.
Yet against the five spiritual beasts summoned by Liu Bai, no matter how much corpse poison the corpse beasts spewed, they were unable to break through.
Clearly, the power under this man's control was not afraid of corpse energy.
No wonder he dared to face the three of them alone.
"If this is all you've got, then obediently hand over your body!"
The leading Profound Demon Emperor shouted coldly.
The overwhelming corpse energy around him began gathering at his fingertips.
After consuming more than half of his corpse energy, a drop of pitch black liquid condensed at the tip of his finger.
"Extreme Evil Corpse Water!"
Extreme Evil Corpse Water possessed the power of defilement.
The moment any Spiritual Energy came into contact with it, not only would it be contaminated by death energy, but the user's physical body would also be affected.
Their life force would be stripped away, transforming them directly into a corpse.
No matter how tenacious one's vitality was, survival was impossible beneath such evil water.
And this tiny drop alone, if it fell upon the White Dragon Continent, would instantly turn hundreds of millions of living beings into corpses!
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
It sounded like water being poured into boiling oil.
When the black corpse water came into contact with the five colored spiritual radiance of the Innate Five Spirits Disk, it immediately corroded a huge hole through it.
Moreover, the hole was rapidly expanding.
"Quite impressive indeed!"
Even Liu Bai was startled by the terrifying corrosive properties of the corpse water.
However, he quickly calmed down.
With a raise of his hand, he released a river of Spiritual Liquid.
At the same time, his hands rapidly formed seals.
Countless Spiritual Seals appeared once more, quickly forming an immense Array river that even enveloped the entire White Dragon Continent plane.
"I just spent one hundred million Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. If I don't leave all of you behind, I'd be losing money!"
"Heaven River Purification!"
Want to use corpse poison and corrosion?
Then I'll counter it with purification!
Let's see whether your corpse poison is stronger or my purification power is greater!
In an instant, nine dazzling stars simultaneously released tens of thousands of rays of light.
With a single pulse, the light swallowed the corpse water.
The next moment, the corpse water had already dissipated into faint smoke.
A smile appeared on Liu Bai's lips.
At this moment, the Heaven River Purification Array already possessed Immortal Grade power.
Combined with its nature as the purest purification force in the Great Thousand World, it held tremendous restraint against corpse poison.
Such an effect was not exaggerated at all.
Of course, that was only because his opponent was merely a Profound Demon Emperor.
If it had been the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor using this move, Liu Bai would probably have had no choice but to flee.
There was no helping it.
Unless his power reached the level of the Flame Emperor's Heavenly Flame or the Martial Ancestor's Eight Ancestral Symbols, there was no way he could directly contend against a Heavenly Demon Emperor.
The moment the Profound Demon Emperor saw his corpse water being purified by the Array's power, he immediately realized something was wrong.
But they were already trapped inside the Immortal Trapping Array.
If they wanted to evade, they would first need to break the Array.
Yet even though the three Demons realized the danger and attacked together, they could not break the spatial confinement of the Immortal Trapping Array in a short time.
The next instant, the purification power descended upon them.
Miserable screams instantly rang out.
Their demonic bodies seemed to be burned by white flames.
Soon, they turned into dried corpses.
Finally, even their screams gradually faded away.
"Ding..."
The pleasant system notifications sounded once more, and the smile on Liu Bai's face grew wider and wider.
["Ding, killed one Late Phase Abyss Demon Emperor. Received double experience bonus. Gained 100 million experience points and 3,000 World Origin Points."]
["Ding, killed one Late Phase Abyss Demon Emperor. Received double experience bonus. Gained 100 million experience points and 3,000 World Origin Points."]
["Ding, killed one Initial Phase Profound Demon Emperor. Received triple experience bonus. Gained 210 million experience points and 4,000 World Origin Points."]
Very good. A huge harvest in a single wave!
His experience points had reached 600 million, while his World Origin Points had exceeded 15,000!
After his excitement faded, however, a trace of regret surfaced in Liu Bai's heart. This amount of experience still was not enough for him to step directly into the Immortal Grade. He was still short by 100 million experience points.
Thinking of this, his gaze involuntarily turned toward the figure currently fighting Mu Chen.
Perhaps because Liu Bai's side had ended too quickly, the original plan had been for Shi Tianxiang and Mu Chen to tangle with each other for a while before finding an opportunity to retreat.
Yet before a victor had been decided between the two of them, Liu Bai had already wiped out the three Demon Emperors.
Moreover, Shi Tianxiang suddenly felt an intense malicious intent coming from behind her, causing her entire body to shiver involuntarily...
And it was precisely that momentary lapse that allowed Mu Chen, who was controlling the Dragon Army, to seize an opportunity.
Gritting his teeth, he took out a large quantity of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. Then he forcibly mobilized his spiritual energy and activated the battle intent dragon above his head, causing it to unleash a dragon breath directly at Shi Tianxiang!
Boom!
Hit head on by the battle intent dragon breath, Shi Tianxiang immediately let out a miserable scream. Even the demonic energy surrounding her body was torn apart, injuring her true body.
That strike thoroughly frightened Shi Tianxiang.
She had never expected that this Heavenly Sovereign who had only just broken through could be so terrifying. Even she, a Late Phase Abyss Emperor, had been injured.
As a result, she no longer dared to linger and immediately prepared to flee according to the original plan.
It was also at that moment that the great array in the sky seemed to have exhausted its spiritual energy and dispersed, giving Shi Tianxiang an opportunity to escape.
As demonic energy surged violently, Mu Chen discovered that his killing blow had missed.
Well, not entirely.
Under the power of his battle intent, one of her hands had been reduced to dust and scattered into the void.
As for Shi Tianxiang's true body, she had already torn open space and escaped.
Seeing this, Mu Chen felt somewhat regretful.
After all, aside from the Demon Slaying Points a Demon Emperor could provide, merely weakening the strength of the Fiend Race was already worthwhile.
Unfortunately, his own strength was still too weak. If he possessed even a fraction of his senior's power, none of those four demons would have escaped today!
"I never expected, Junior Mu Chen, that your combat strength would be so terrifying. You managed to defeat a Late Phase Abyss Emperor immediately after breaking through. There probably aren't many people in the entire Great Thousand World who can compare to you, right?"
Walking over, Liu Bai spoke with genuine surprise.
This was not sarcasm.
Liu Bai truly had not expected that even after losing so many opportunities to him, Mu Chen's strength would still be this astonishing!
"Senior, please stop teasing me..." Mu Chen replied with a bitter smile, clearly dissatisfied with his own performance.
"If I possessed even one third of your combat strength, Senior, that demoness definitely wouldn't have escaped today!"
As he spoke, Mu Chen looked at Liu Bai with admiration.
"Senior actually killed three Demon Emperors by himself, including a Profound Emperor. There are probably very few people in the entire Great Thousand World who could achieve such a record!"
Three Demon Emperors, including a Profound Emperor, amounted to more than ten thousand Demon Slaying Points. That was enough to create another Demon Slayer King.
In Mu Chen's view, throughout the entire Great Thousand World, only Qin Tian, the Great Elder of the Great Thousand Palace and the Number One Demon Slayer King, could compare with Liu Bai.
Of course, Mu Chen thought this only because he still did not know enough about the world.
Not to mention anything else, but according to the original story, more than ten Demon Emperors had fallen at the hands of the Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor alone.
It was simply that they were not Demon Slayers and therefore did not care about Demon Slaying Points or Demon Slayer King titles.
Hearing the praise, Liu Bai merely smiled faintly.
"Alright, let's stop flattering ourselves here."
"This place is no longer safe. You should move this plane away as soon as possible. Otherwise, more demons may arrive through the spatial node."
After speaking, Liu Bai waved casually.
His figure immediately disappeared into the void.
Seeing this, Mu Chen raised his head and looked at the plane beneath his feet.
Exhaling slowly, his eyes gradually became sharp as a mutter escaped his lips.
"Buddha Ancient Clan, after all these years the day has finally come!"
Breaking through to Heavenly Sovereign had finally given Mu Chen enough confidence to fulfill his promise.
He would bring his mother home, reunite her with his father, and allow their family to be together once more!
Meanwhile, after leaving the White Dragon Continent, Liu Bai encountered the pale faced Shi Tianxiang within the void.
"You're a dignified Late Phase Abyss Emperor, comparable to a Late Phase Spirit Grade Heavenly Sovereign. How did you end up beaten into this state by a youngster who just broke through? I'm starting to wonder whether you're worth continuing to cultivate."
Looking at Shi Tianxiang's miserable appearance, Liu Bai said with obvious dissatisfaction.
His words immediately frightened Shi Tianxiang.
If Liu Bai developed killing intent now, then she truly would have no chance of survival.
"I was merely careless! For some reason I became distracted at that moment, which allowed that brat to land a sneak attack. If it had been a normal battle, I absolutely would not have been defeated so easily!"
Looking at the corpse demon anxiously trying to explain herself, Liu Bai waved his hand impatiently.
"Enough, enough. No need to say so much."
"You know exactly what you should report when you return this time."
"As for hunting targets, put that on hold for now. Three Demon Emperors were lost at once. That Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor is probably furious."
"For the next period of time, devote all your efforts to investigating clues about the Evil Spirit Clan."
"You only have one year. If by then you still cannot provide a satisfactory answer, don't blame me for not giving you another chance."
As he finished speaking, Liu Bai tugged at the soul thread buried in the deepest part of Shi Tianxiang's soul.
She immediately suffered agony beyond imagination, writhing between life and death.
Fortunately, Liu Bai only intended to teach her a lesson and had not acted with lethal intent. Otherwise, she might have completely lost her soul amid that unbearable torment.
After the stick came the carrot.
Liu Bai took out the corpses of the three Demon Emperors he had stored away and handed them all to Shi Tianxiang, allowing her to quickly recover her injuries and increase her cultivation.
Only by doing so could she enter the upper ranks of the Corpse Demon Clan sooner and obtain the information Liu Bai desired.
