Li Xuan's expression was exceptionally grave. The moment the giant black hand appeared, Li Xuan felt an intense sense of crisis.
However, as the demonic energy emerged, Li Xuan also noticed the churning clouds in the sky above, with lightning serpents spreading and rapidly condensing.
"Damn, this power is even threatening the order and rules of this world!" The voice of the Heavenly Dao Brush echoed in Li Xuan's mind.
Sensing this power, Li Xuan immediately understood. Within this force, the power of order and rules was extremely evident.
Clearly, the power of this colossal hand was so immense that the order and rules of heaven and earth could not tolerate it, thus causing the order and rule power of the Hun Tian Continent to intervene.
Looking at the terrifying condensed lightning serpent beam, Li Xuan felt a slight reassurance.
Indeed!
As the majestic lightning serpents converged, they transformed into a blurry figure of over a thousand zhang.
This colossal phantom then struck the giant black hole with a fist, an indescribable force instantly suppressing the demonic energy.
"Damn order and rules! When this seat..." As the order and rules intervened, the Demon Lord, whose giant hand had already appeared, stopped. A roar filled with fury, echoed through heaven and earth.
"Exterminate demons, purify!"
Before the Demon Lord's voice could fully finish, the giant phantom formed by the order and rules, like a thunder god wielding punishment, unleashed a voice devoid of emotion that rippled outward.
With this voice, the giant phantom's body rapidly dissolved, then spread outwards in waves in all directions.
As this divine light dispersed, any demonic energy it touched instantly turned into nothingness, then transformed into pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth before dissipating.
"My subjects, offer your lives!"
Just as the divine light formed by the order and rules was purifying the boundless demonic energy, the Demon Lord's giant hand began to move again.
Accompanying the Demon Lord's voice, the demon army engaged in fierce battle on the land below began to self-detonate one by one, instantly turning into wisps of black energy that surged towards the giant hand.
In just a few breaths, the giant hand had grown several times larger. It then punched towards the void, tearing it open.
"Order and rules are ultimately just a form of power. They can stop this seat for a while, but can they stop me permanently?" As the void fractured, the Demon Lord's voice resounded again.
The dissipated demonic energy surged forth once more.
An aura that made Li Xuan's soul tremble instantly permeated from the void.
With the appearance of this aura, heaven and earth shook violently, and colossal rifts instantly tore open. The powerful figures of the Six Great Families and Four Great Hidden Sects looked on with utter horror.
"Such... such powerful existence!"
Observing the surrounding changes and the figure emerging from the void, Li Xuan couldn't help but swallow.
Even with his current early-stage Hunyuan Realm strength, Li Xuan felt his scalp tingle. This indicated the terrifying power of the Demon Lord summoned by the five An Tian Demon Venerables.
What shocked Li Xuan even more was that the Demon Lord, whose retreat had been cut off by the order and rules, was still able to tear open the void with just a single hand, allowing his true form to fully emerge.
His nearly ten-zhang tall body exuded demonic energy that even caused space to collapse under its pressure.
Boom!
With the Demon Lord's appearance, the lightning that had previously dissipated surged once more. In an instant, a colossal figure condensed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth reappeared.
This time, the power of order and rules emanating from the giant phantom was significantly stronger than before. Clearly, under the threat of the Demon Lord, even the order and rules felt endangered.
"Blood Seal, Seal the Heavens!" The Demon Lord glanced at the giant phantom formed by the order and rules, his lantern-sized eyes flashing with disdain.
Then, the arm that had torn open the void shot rapidly towards the Demon Lord, connecting with his body in an instant. The Demon Lord flexed his arm, then with a wave of his hand, countless demonic lights flew with astonishing speed towards the location of the giant phantom formed by the order and rules.
"Pure Spirit, Return to Unity!"
The features of the giant phantom gradually became clear. As the Demon Lord made his move, an ancient and weathered voice emanated from within it. As the voice fell, Li Xuan saw strands of chaotic spiritual energy in heaven and earth stop their movement, then rapidly condense, like blades, shooting towards the demonic lights.
Crack!
As streams of spiritual energy crystals shattered, the Demon Lord's myriad demonic lights dissipated amidst the cracking sounds. Then, these spiritual energy barriers attached to each other, instantly forming a colossal sword that shot directly at the Demon Lord.
"Exterminate demons, purify!"
With supreme majesty, the colossal sword seemed imbued with divine power. Its sword intent permeated heaven and earth, causing the Shijian sword in Li Xuan's hand to hum and surge towards the sky. Li Xuan's eyes narrowed, and he watched the collision between the embodiment of order and the Demon Lord with some tension.
Boom!
The Demon Lord seemed not to have expected the embodiment of order's power to be so terrifying. The moment the demonic energy dissipated, the colossal sword arrived. With a single strike, a deep sword mark was etched into the Demon Lord's body.
"Truly formidable. To think that a mere will manifestation could injure this seat." The Demon Lord looked down at the sword mark on his chest, his expression becoming somewhat ferocious.
Swish, swish, swish!
"Allow us to contribute the last of our strength to this world." Li Xiong and the other nine exchanged glances, then moved as one, transforming into streams of light and charging directly at the Demon Lord.
"Damn it!"
With the addition of Li Xiong and the ten others, the power of the great sword was further amplified. In the next moment, it slashed towards the Demon Lord again. The Demon Lord cursed under his breath upon seeing this, then unleashed a punch.
Boom!
Demonic energy billowed, obscuring the sky. With a single punch, the great sword was directly repelled.
"Young Master, this Demon Lord's aura seems to be growing stronger." The voice of the Heavenly Dao Brush echoed in Li Xuan's mind.
Li Xuan smiled wryly. The Demon Lord's power had far exceeded his expectations. Furthermore, with the sacrifice of the demon army, the Demon Lord's strength had surpassed the peak of the Hunyuan Realm. If not for this, the order and rules of the Hun Tian Continent would not have intervened.
But judging by the current situation, it was only a matter of time before the Demon Lord triumphed.
"Heavenly Dao, I offer you one chance. As long as you retreat, I shall not pursue further. But if you continue to act, do not blame me for being ruthless!" The Demon Lord looked up at the sky and said with a cold snort.
Heavenly Dao?
Li Xuan's gaze flickered upon hearing this, and he also looked towards the sky.
After several breaths, the thunderclouds gradually dispersed. Beneath a ray of auspicious light, a figure slowly appeared.
"This old man can choose not to act, but this person must leave with me." The Heavenly Dao arrived before the Demon Lord, then his gaze shifted to Li Xuan and said.
Li Xuan was stunned. Was this Heavenly Dao intending to protect him?
