"What is this human's origin? He's clearly only at the Lord-level Beast Emperor's strength, yet why do I feel a trace of danger from him?"
The silver wolf whispered, its eyes flashing with caution. Never before had it imagined fearing an ant.
"No matter what, he must die!"
The black dragon spoke, its eyes filled with hatred and killing intent. Regardless of the reason, being pushed to such a state by an ant today, it was determined to get revenge.
With that thought, a flicker of hesitation crossed the black dragon's eyes. It then hardened its resolve and transmitted its suspicion that Li Xiaotian possessed a divine artifact to the silver wolf.
"What?! A top-tier celestial weapon?!"
The silver wolf's voice was filled with shock, followed by a glint of greed. A top-tier celestial weapon, that was an existence comparable to an invincible divine artifact. Even in the Myriad Beast Mountain, there were few powerhouses who possessed such divine artifacts.
"He must die! We must keep him here today at all costs!"
The silver wolf growled, filled with excitement. If it could obtain that top-tier celestial weapon, its status in the Myriad Beast Mountain would rise infinitely. Even when the Heavenly-level Beast Emperors awoke, it would be their equal!
"Indeed, he cannot be allowed to leave here alive. Wolf Emperor, I am heavily injured. I will cooperate with you later to kill him in one fell swoop! The divine artifact will be yours in the end!"
The black dragon spoke, feeling a pang of unwillingness. Li Xiaotian's divine artifact should have been its own. But now, to exact revenge, it could only reveal the secret to the silver wolf. Only then would the other party go all out.
"Rest assured! This Emperor will definitely kill him!"
The silver wolf responded, sneering inwardly. When it had first arrived, the black dragon had not shared this secret with it. Now it was telling it, clearly intending to use it.
But what if it was being used? As a Hegemon, even though this human looked very troublesome, it wasn't worried at all. After all, its Hegemon strength was real, while this human clearly obtained its strength through some secret art, and it wouldn't last much longer.
At this moment, Li Xiaotian moved, his entire body shrouded in dense demonic energy, charging towards the two Beast Emperors, the silver wolf and the black dragon.
Moreover, his aura was even more terrifying than before. After absorbing the black dragon's tail, that terrifying essence blood had been converted into energy for his body, putting him in an excellent state.
"Heaven Sever!"
Li Xiaotian whispered, swinging his long saber. Amidst the black mist, a bright light flashed, like the dawn breaking through the night.
A colossal saber shadow cleaved towards the silver wolf and the black dragon.
Simultaneously, on the ground around the area Li Xiaotian had completely devoured, thick black mist rose, as if it had a consciousness, surging madly along with the saber shadow.
"Second strike!"
Before the first saber shadow even reached them, Li Xiaotian unleashed another strike, and then a third.
After three strikes, Li Xiaotian's internal energy was depleted by more than half, but it was instantly restored by the Devouring Demonic Art.
By the time the silver wolf and the black dragon reacted, they could no longer dodge and could only brace themselves.
They had been careless. They thought that no matter how capable this ant was, it could never threaten the two of them, Hegemons. But now, they regretted their arrogance.
"Xiaotian!!! Roar!"
The silver wolf howled at the moon. At this moment, the moon in the sky seemed to turn into a blood moon. At this moment, the silver wolf's aura changed, becoming cold and sinister.
"Buzz!!"
The silver wolf's body vanished from its original spot in an instant. Then, with incredible speed, it circled past Li Xiaotian's three saber shadows and appeared beside him.
"Die!"
The silver wolf roared, flinging a claw towards Li Xiaotian. Its speed was so fast it caused the air to crackle.
The black dragon, lacking the silver wolf's peculiar methods, roared loudly, its eyes turning crimson. Its scales suddenly vibrated violently.
Then, a stream of light spots, each the size of a scale, flew out, blocking in front of it.
"Boom!!!"
With a deafening roar, Li Xiaotian's three saber strikes were blocked by the black dragon's light shield. But immediately after, its shield shattered. A huge impact rushed towards it, sending its massive body flying backward.
At the same time, the black mist that followed seemed to have a consciousness, quickly catching up to the black dragon and enveloping its entire body.
"Roar!!! Ah!!!"
The black dragon let out a piercing scream.
Concurrently, on Li Xiaotian's side, the silver wolf's giant claw was about to land on him.
Li Xiaotian snorted coldly, and a set of black armor suddenly appeared on his body, protecting him. He hurriedly swung his saber to meet the attack.
"Bang!"
Even though Li Xiaotian's reaction was swift enough, the silver wolf was still a Hegemon. Li Xiaotian's hurried response couldn't deflect the silver wolf's attack.
"Puff!"
Li Xiaotian was sent flying by the silver wolf's claw. In a daze, one could almost hear the sound of his ribs breaking. He spat out a mouthful of blood.
But unexpectedly, Li Xiaotian stabilized his body and then decisively charged towards the black dragon in the distance. The black dragon was currently shrouded by his devouring demonic energy and couldn't break free immediately, making it the best time to kill it.
"Fourth strike!!!"
Li Xiaotian roared. This single strike alone drained half of his body's energy.
But in the blink of an eye, the silver wolf appeared before Li Xiaotian. However, whether it was intentional or not, it skillfully dodged Li Xiaotian's fourth strike aimed at the black dragon.
"Die!"
The silver wolf roared and lunged at Li Xiaotian.
"Not good! Xiaotian is no match for those two beasts! Everyone, we'll hold back the silver wolf and let Li Xiaotian kill the black dragon!"
Jian Lin shouted, his voice filled with excitement. The situation, which was once desperate, had suddenly improved for the human race due to Li Xiaotian's sudden outburst. Furthermore, there was a high chance of winning this war and killing a Hegemon of the demon race!
This was, after all, the first Hegemon of the demon race killed by the human race since the recovery of the world, a significant event.
"Kill! Let's go all out! Trading our lives for a demon race Hegemon is worth it!"
Someone roared and charged forward. With their strength, they couldn't kill the black dragon, nor were they a match for the silver wolf, yet they still charged.
"Kill!!!"
Jian Lin drew his sword and charged forward, followed by everyone from the Sword Pavilion, including the young powerhouse Li Xiaoyao.
"You stay here! Senior Brother will go!"
On the other side, Zhen Xing wanted to roar and join the charge as well, but was stopped by his senior brother, Zhen Wu.
At this moment, Zhen Wu held a peach wood sword and, stepping on vines, charged forward.
At this moment, all the late-stage Emperor-level powerhouses present charged forward without hesitation. Their sole objective was to ensure a Hegemon of the demon race perished today!
Li Xiaotian, who had just been sent flying by the silver wolf again, was already broken and covered in wounds.
However, thanks to the Devouring Demonic Art, his wounds healed instantly, but this was only superficial. The internal injuries would take time to recover.
