The mountains and valleys turned to dust, destroyed like paper creations. How could this battle continue?
Li Xiaotian descended like a demon lord, roaring with power and shattering several strong figures, their blood painting a gruesome, shocking scene.
His unbound hair whipped in the wind, golden battle qi surging to the heavens. He stood beneath the firmament, an invincible force.
A demon god!
Though not of the demon race, he was more demonic than any demon!
These beings cried out in their hearts, their legs trembling, their faces ashen with a sense of utter powerlessness. Their bodies quivered uncontrollably, never before had they felt such profound fear.
"Pfft"
A spray of blood erupted, bone fragments clinging to blood strands flying outwards. Li Xiaotian's black hair cascaded like a waterfall, his eyes gleaming like cold lightning. His golden fist pulverized another into a mist of blood, their very essence shattered!
His might struck awe into their hearts. A single punch was enough to tear apart any creature that dared to enter the trial grounds.
Simultaneously, his devouring power operated at full capacity. Anyone whose body he shattered was instantly consumed, meeting a definitive end.
Invincible powerhouses were immortal and indestructible, but before the Great Dao of Devouring, they were as fragile as a blank sheet of paper.
The slaughter continued. Li Xiaotian, like a ferocious dragon emerging from the sea, plunged into the wolf pack. With every movement, someone was annihilated. A rain of blood fell, fragments of bone scattered, as if the gates of hell had been flung open.
"Ah..."
Someone screamed. Many were paralyzed with fear, crying out in terror as they fled in a complete rout. By now, everyone understood: this was a god-demon. To oppose him was to court death.
"Can you escape?" Li Xiaotian sneered. Having chosen to engage, he would finish the fight decisively. He harbored no womanly compassion; this was the brutal law within the trial grounds.
Furthermore, he held grudges against these individuals. Even if he spared them now, they would inevitably return in a few days, their forces amassed.
Therefore, it was best to eliminate them all at once.
"Spare me, I was wrong. I shouldn't have ganged up on you, Li Xiaotian. We have no enmity, pfft!" a creature, pursued and pale, begged for mercy, nearly collapsing to its knees.
But before it could finish its plea, Li Xiaotian's fist struck. Its head exploded instantly, and its body fell rigidly into the pool of blood.
"Boom!"
A terrifying long sword suddenly appeared, tearing through the firmament. The sea of stars churned, and the sword descended, intent on destroying all things, locking onto Li Xiaotian in an instant.
This was a demigod artifact, immensely powerful with unparalleled offensive capabilities. It was their last resort, used now as these beings, desperate to save their lives, discarded all caution and unleashed their trump cards.
"Everyone, we cannot flee! Let us strike him together and take revenge!" the middle-aged woman cried out, her expression sinister.
The demigod artifact's might was boundless, adorned with countless ancient runes. Terrifying sword energy pierced every inch of the void, forcing Li Xiaotian to halt temporarily.
The others present shifted their gazes upon seeing this and immediately activated their various weapons, slashing forward. They knew there was no peaceful resolution; even if they begged, they would be slain.
"Use the forbidden artifact to kill him!" the head in the middle-aged woman's hand shrieked. It belonged to the creature Li Xiaotian had nearly killed earlier. Its body had been destroyed, and its hatred for Li Xiaotian was extreme.
"Everyone, we have no retreat. We can only slaughter him, or we all perish!" the middle-aged woman's expression contorted fiercely. She spat out a small, blood-red bell, onto which she sprayed several mouthfuls of vital blood, sacrificing it.
Clang!
The death knell was world-shattering, shattering the earth and obliterating the sky. It rapidly expanded, its crimson form reducing all things to ash. It was a bell of death in the truest sense.
It descended alongside the divine sword, forcing Li Xiaotian to retreat.
"He's retreating! Let's all go up and kill him! We still have a chance after killing him. We'll divide his Great Dao!" the others yelled cruelly, their morale surging as they saw this.
