The little blood person returned to the small box, cautiously peeking out, its body still trembling.
Sonic booms continued to erupt within the formation space. The Demon Emperor, caught off guard, was blasted like a balloon, tossed east, west, up, and down.
Mo Qi's confidence surged. He felt he could press his advantage and finish the Demon Emperor once and for all. To his surprise, the next moment, the Demon Emperor sprayed wildly into the formation space, a torrent of fresh blood gushing out. It churned within the formation, creating a blood tide that surged like a gale, gradually dissipating the invisible sonic booms.
The Demon Emperor slowly regained his footing. He formed another hand seal, and a ball of black mist appeared in his hand. It expanded into the air, then, with a world-shattering explosion, it detonated violently, shattering into pieces.
The four walls of the formation bulged again into terrifying shapes, appearing as thin and fragile as silkworm wings.
"Pangu Divine Power, Chaos Star Devourer Style!" As if divinely inspired, Mo Qi formed a hand seal and pointed.
A beam of light flowed from his finger, drilling into the formation and colliding with the remnants of the black mist.
With a deafening roar, like the heavens collapsing and the earth splitting, the light and energy shattered, and light flared. The entire formation contracted violently, then expanded just as suddenly. The light barrier at the edges, unable to bear the strain, finally ruptured.
Another series of rumbling sounds echoed as the entire city collapsed, stones flying through the air, and smoke billowing.
Mushroom clouds rose into the sky, ascending into the vast heavens.
Amidst the swirling smoke, shouts, curses, and groans merged into a cacophony.
Countless figures emerged from the layers of smoke, scattering in all directions.
Mo Qi flew forward, then turned back. Seeing the flashing lights behind him, he surmised the Demon Emperor was in pursuit, and a shiver ran down his spine.
His Pangu Divine Power had broken through at a critical moment, and he had used the impact of that breakthrough to "ignite" the divine abilities within the formation.
The Demon Emperor, confident in his indestructible body, had recklessly damaged the formation, disregarding its backlash.
He believed his body would remain unaffected even if the entire world were to burn.
Thus, he dared to unleash the black mist divine abilities within the formation without restraint.
Mo Qi also realized the formation would eventually be broken by him. It was better to add fuel to the fire. As long as the fire was fierce enough, it could injure him to the greatest extent possible. This was the best strategy he could devise at the moment.
Indeed, after the formation shattered, as he fled, Mo Qi constantly felt a pair of eyes locked onto him, relentlessly pursuing him, unable to shake them off.
It was undoubtedly the Demon Emperor.
He would not rest until he killed Mo Qi today.
The Demon Emperor was now in a state of furious rage.
This was the most maddening experience he had endured in many years.
His entire body had undergone a severe "baptism" in the series of explosions.
At this moment, his clothes were tattered, his body was scorched black, his hair was disheveled, and it was still emitting black smoke.
He could not see his own face, but he saw his own wretched state, and his anger swelled infinitely.
What angered him most was that his indestructible body had been affected by the repeated explosions. His soul had been eroded, and his cultivation had suffered a fatal blow.
His cultivation was now damaged, likely only at seventy to eighty percent of its original strength.
This made his hair stand on end, and his desire to finish Mo Qi here intensified.
In reality, even if only thirty to forty percent of his cultivation remained, he could still annihilate Mo Qi.
Mo Qi also sensed the Demon Emperor's determination to hunt him down and his hysterical rage. After using the Golden Light Shrinking Ground Technique to flee for a while, he still saw the Demon Emperor relentlessly pursuing him.
Mo Qi felt a surge of panic. Was he truly doomed today?
If he were to die, dying at the hands of the same group of people repeatedly felt too stifling.
Moreover, his opponent was now determined. If he didn't kill Mo Qi, he would do so thoroughly, ensuring his soul was scattered. If he succeeded, Mo Qi would have no chance for revenge.
An atmosphere of infinite sorrow enveloped him. Mo Qi ran with all his might, but every time he looked back, he saw the Demon Emperor not far behind, and getting closer.
Mo Qi was both anxious and angry, but he had no better solution than to flee.
It seemed the only option left besides running was to cry!
Who would he cry for? So, he decided against it.
At this moment, the Demon Emperor behind him saw that he was getting closer to Mo Qi, seemingly within striking range. He formed a hand seal and pointed, sending a blast of black energy towards Mo Qi. It surged like a sudden black wind, coiling around Mo Qi's body, tossing him wildly in the air. He tumbled uncontrollably and fell to the ground.
The Demon Emperor gave him no chance to breathe. He immediately descended from the sky, and as he landed, he shook his body, transforming into a beam of light, piercing towards Mo Qi with lightning speed.
It was the same move he had used to assassinate Kong Xuan!
Mo Qi instinctively dodged, but the light sword subtly shifted its angle, still aiming for his chest. He dodged again, and it shifted again, always targeting him.
This filled Mo Qi with despair. He widened his eyes, watching the object pierce towards him.
His heart filled with unwillingness, and his eyes with sorrow, spreading infinitely...
Suddenly, the light energy flickered, and with a thunderous roar, the figures and the light separated.
The Demon Emperor stumbled back a few steps, revealing his true form, his face filled with surprise as he looked across.
A petite figure on the other side flew out like a kite with a broken string.
It was Xin'er! At the critical moment, she had used the Haotian Hammer to block the Demon Emperor, otherwise, Mo Qi might have perished.
At this moment, the Haotian Hammer in her hand flew out from another direction and landed on the ground with a crash.
Although she herself had not directly taken the Demon Emperor's attack, she had been severely injured through the Haotian Hammer. Her entire body seemed to have lost sensation, and she fell carelessly into the distance.
Mo Qi hurriedly flew up and chased after her. Just as Xin'er was about to hit the ground, he extended his hands, caught her, held her in his arms, and quickly fed her a healing pill.
The Demon Emperor exclaimed, "This girl, I think I've seen her somewhere before."
After taking the pill, Xin'er's internal injuries healed rapidly. She struggled out of Mo Qi's embrace and glared at the Demon Emperor, saying, "I have you..."
Mo Qi immediately cut her off, "This is our first meeting, a chance encounter. Why so many pleasantries? If you want to fight or kill, let's settle it with our hands."
The Demon Emperor snorted coldly, "I was thinking the same thing."
As he spoke, the Demon Emperor transformed into a beam of light again and charged towards Mo Qi with the force of thunder, capable of annihilating all things.
Xin'er again stepped in front of Mo Qi.
Mo Qi flickered and moved past Xin'er, instead charging towards the Demon Emperor's light sword.
Xin'er's face turned ashen with shock!
This was suicide!
She couldn't help but cry out in surprise, tears instantly welling up, "Big Brother!"
At that moment, regret, sorrow, and hatred surged within her, pressing down on her until she could barely breathe.
She had intended to use her own body to block that fatal blow, to exchange her life for his.
She never expected that this would precisely drive him to seek death recklessly!
In her past life, she had harmed him, and now in this life, he was still going to die saving her!
When would this end?
When would she be able to bear a burden for him?
First and foremost, she hoped there would be a next life.
At this moment, knowing she couldn't catch up to Mo Qi, she could only watch his solitary figure charge towards the dazzling brilliance.
The Demon Emperor, seeing Mo Qi suddenly rush at him desperately, was indeed surprised.
But then he smiled. This was even better, saving him the effort!
At this moment, the distance between them rapidly closed, and they were about to collide.
In the Demon Emperor's eyes, death was also drawing closer to Mo Qi.
Although Mo Qi intended to fight desperately, he was not throwing caution to the wind!
At this moment, he took out two pill furnaces from his storage bag, one in each hand. He blew off the talismans and pushed them towards the Demon Emperor.
The Demon Emperor didn't know what Mo Qi was up to, but he paid it no mind. No matter what he took out, he would attack like this, destroying everything.
The next moment, the Demon Emperor's figure collided with the pill furnaces. A blinding white light emanated from him, engulfing Mo Qi and the furnaces.
Immediately after, with a deafening roar, the pill furnaces shattered.
A crimson light burst forth, instantly overwhelming the white light.
The red light formed a mushroom cloud vertically, rising into the sky, and horizontally, it spread out in ripples in all directions, instantly engulfing vast areas. Xin'er was forced to retreat involuntarily, all the way to a distance of several miles.
Looking back, the fiery red lasted only for a moment. The area then turned into scorched earth, with sand and stones churning. A mass of black mist lingered in the sky for a long time.
Xin'er stared blankly at the black mist, her eyes blurred with tears.
As the black mist gradually dispersed, a scorched pit appeared on the ground.
Two figures within the pit caught her attention.
In the center of that area, two figures stood.
One figure was swaying, falling and getting up, only to fall again, but still stubbornly rising.
The other figure, though also covered in black scorch marks, stood straight and tall like a pine tree.
This figure was the Demon Emperor's!
At this moment, his heart was collapsing, and he was filled with rage.
He never expected Mo Qi's two pill furnaces to be so powerful.
He also didn't expect that after such a powerful explosion, Mo Qi would still be alive. Theoretically, even if not reduced to ashes, he should have been dead.
Yet, he stubbornly lived on.
What he didn't expect even more was that pill furnaces of this power could also injure him. Although not fatal, it was an injury to his pride and dignity!
Thinking of this, the Demon Emperor became even more enraged!
This further solidified his resolve to kill his opponent.
So, he laughed wildly, "Hahaha... This is too interesting!"
As he spoke, the Demon Emperor transformed into a golden light again and charged towards Mo Qi.
Xin'er, watching from afar, felt her heart shatter.
She knew all too well that Mo Qi could not withstand such an attack!
He could barely stand now, let alone catch that fatal blow.
