"Little Ai, we'll clear the other obstacles for you. Can you handle Shui Hua and Cang Yun?"
Lin Xueyan and the others looked serious, fully aware of the power wielded by the Highnesses from a ninth-level great world. This would be an extremely difficult battle.
"Don't worry, Senior Sister. I won't lose. I absolutely won't shame Master. I can hold them off for now."
"That's the spirit, Little Ai! We believe in you!"
Lin Xueyan and the others showed determination, nodding slightly at Xiao Ai.
"You will all die!"
At this moment, cultivators from the Shen Qiong Domain and Cang Gu Domain surged forward, surrounding Lin Xueyan and her group.
Xiao Ai naturally had faith in her senior sisters' strength. Although they were only at the first level of Heavenly God, they possessed the power of Bodhi and could deal with these "fodder."
"Chu Ai, die!"
Shui Hua struck first, unleashing cold moon sword energy that instantly surged forward, freezing everything in its path with a layer of frost.
"You want to freeze my divine power? Too bad you can't."
Xiao Ai wielded the Blood Fiend Demon Sword, and layers of demonic fire erupted from her body. This demonic fire burned with extreme intensity.
"Whoosh!"
Her body became like a ball of flame as she charged towards Shui Hua.
The divine swords collided instantly, demonic flames clashing against cold moon divine power.
The freezing power spread rapidly, attempting to lock everything down. However, the burning demonic flames caused the frost sword energy to disintegrate, unable to bind Xiao Ai's movements.
"How is this possible?"
"Shui Hua, your ice-sealing abilities won't work on me. Demonic flames can burn through anything."
Xiao Ai unleashed her demonic flame power again. With every swing of her divine sword, demonic flames erupted from its blade. Shui Hua's cold moon divine domain became increasingly ineffective against Xiao Ai.
"Sword Shadows Abound!"
Channeling void divine power, Xiao Ai's body instantly split into countless afterimages that attacked Shui Hua simultaneously from different points in the void.
"What?!"
Shui Hua panicked, completely unable to discern which afterimage was Xiao Ai's true form.
As her Heavenly Demon bloodline power developed further, Xiao Ai awakened more unique divine abilities.
Innumerable fiery sword energies completely sealed Shui Hua's escape routes.
"Get out of my way!"
Shui Hua's mind was severely stimulated, and she swung her divine sword wildly, but these sword energies were utterly incapable of stopping Xiao Ai's onslaught.
"Northern Darkness Divine Art!"
Seeing Shui Hua about to lose to Xiao Ai, Cang Yun activated the Northern Darkness Divine Art, forcefully absorbing the demonic flame power.
"I advise you not to overexert yourself, or you'll regret it."
"Ha! The Divine Farmer's Cauldron is ours to claim. Since the myriad realms insist on pushing this to the extreme, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Cang Yun sneered, extending his Northern Darkness Divine Domain.
As his divine domain unfolded, a large amount of demonic flames were absorbed. However, with each bit of demonic flame power he absorbed, Cang Yun felt an uncontrollable restlessness surge within his body.
"What is this..."
Cang Yun writhed in pain, as his own divine power was being burned and annihilated by these demonic flames.
"Your Highness Shui Hua, I can't hold on much longer. Hurry!"
"Understood!"
Taking advantage of the Northern Darkness Divine Domain's restriction on Xiao Ai's movements, Shui Hua swung her divine sword, aiming for a fatal blow.
"You are too weak."
Fierce demonic flames blazed in Xiao Ai's eyes. At this moment, her power surged once more.
"Demonic Fire Spreading Like Wildfire!"
The Heavenly Demon Divine Domain was activated, its demonic fire power burning continuously, engulfing a hundred li!
"No! What's happening? No!"
Shui Hua felt her body on the verge of being incinerated by the demonic fire. The divine power within her rapidly dissipated, and her cultivation as a hundred-level Heavenly God was about to crumble.
Cang Yun was also trapped in the predicament. He dared not absorb these demonic flames any further, for it would mean his own destruction.
In an instant, the two Highnesses from the ninth-level great world found themselves completely at Xiao Ai's mercy, their lives hanging in the balance.
This was something none of them had anticipated. Witnessing this scene, the cultivators from the Shen Qiong Domain and Cang Gu Domain were stunned into silence.
"The two Highnesses can't even counter that girl's demonic flame divine power? It's over, it's all over!"
"How could this be? Shouldn't the Highnesses of a ninth-level great world be the most talented among the younger generation in the Great Thousand Worlds? Why would they lose to these unknowns?"
"Ye Yun, who the hell are you? How could you teach such disciples? Explain yourself, or you'll be an enemy of the ninth-level great world!"
Many elders from the Shen Qiong Domain and Cang Gu Domain became frantic, roaring at Ye Yun.
"My identity is no secret. Many rogue cultivators have heard of it. I come from the Heavenly Domain, and I am now the Great Sovereign of the Myriad Realms. The Great God Xue Mian of the ninth-level great world is my good friend."
His words sent shockwaves through the entire assembly.
Ye Yun claiming a Creator God as his friend was akin to placing himself on equal footing with a Creator God. This undoubtedly left everyone stunned.
"This brat has gone mad. No matter how strong he is, he can't possibly be on par with a Creator God!"
"This is utter nonsense. We definitely can't believe it!"
"But this brat dares to speak like this in front of the God-King level powerhouses of the Shen Qiong Domain and Cang Gu Domain. It's simply outrageous!"
Many rogue cultivator powerhouses had indeed heard of Ye Yun conquering the myriad realms during their travels in the Great Thousand Worlds. However, they were unaware of Ye Yun's acquaintance with Great God Xue Mian.
"You brat, you're too arrogant! When the competition for treasures among the God-King realm commences, you'll understand your foolishness and ignorance!"
"Brat, prepare to die!"
Many God-King level powerhouses glared at Ye Yun malevolently, as if they wanted to skin him alive.
Time ticked by, and soon the limit of one quarter-hour would be reached.
However, what the crowd failed to see was not the myriad realms falling into despair, but the people of the Shen Qiong Domain and Cang Gu Domain being locked in a desperate struggle, with even the lives of their two Highnesses completely controlled by Xiao Ai.
"You two old fools, apologize to my Master immediately, or these two will surely die!"
Suddenly, Xiao Ai shouted at Elder Yue and Elder Xu, issuing a direct command.
"You little girl, daring to command us? Who do you think you are?"
"We are core elders of a ninth-level great world. Do you know who you are speaking to?"
The two elders berated Xiao Ai simultaneously, attempting to intimidate her with their aura. But these coercive tactics were far too weak.
"Ha! The initiative is in my hands now. You two old pests dared to disrespect my Master, and this is your retribution!"
Xiao Ai sneered. The Heavenly Demon flames continued to burn, and both Shui Hua and Cang Yun endured extreme agony.
"Ah!"
Their screams echoed continuously, and Elder Yue and Elder Xu grew anxious.
"What do we do?"
"We can't just stand by and watch the two Highnesses be tortured to death by that girl."
"Alas, we have no choice but to apologize."
"This... how hateful!"
The two ultimately had no choice but to compromise.
"Great Sovereign, we apologize for our previous words. Please forgive us and instruct your disciple to release the two Highnesses!"
"Great Sovereign, we know we were wrong."
