The elven guardian, sensing the ice power within Bai Ye, which was no less potent than his own demonic magic, was instantly stunned. How long had it been since he’d heard news of this outsider’s ascension to the Imperial level? He had already reached a two-star Imperial rank! At this level, each star advancement was even more arduous than a demon king’s progression to a demon emperor.
Just how unfathomable were the secrets this fellow possessed? Even a prodigiously talented powerhouse would require at least several hundred years to advance a single Imperial star… this guy!!!
A flicker of fear crossed the elven guardian’s face, yet his eyes betrayed a glint of greed.
Bai Ye saw through his thoughts, a smile playing on his lips. If this guardian had immediately notified the ancient powerhouses of the demon race upon discovering him, Bai Ye might have been genuinely worried. But now, with the guardian coveting his secrets, things were much simpler.
"Space Imprisonment!"
"Otherworld Battlefield, Transfer!"
Suddenly, Bai Ye unleashed a suffocating spatial force without warning, freezing the entire surrounding space and halting all attacks.
Two-star spatial power! The elven guardian’s expression changed again. He quickly made a series of hand movements, appearing to be about to call out to the demon race’s old monsters.
But in the next instant, his magic was interrupted, and he vanished, appearing with Bai Ye in a bizarre, kaleidoscopic small space.
“Scared now?” Bai Ye chuckled. “This is my Magic Space. Within here, you cannot contact the outside world without my permission.”
The elven guardian gritted his teeth. Indeed, the moment he was pulled into this world, his communication magic had completed. However, the message sent out was like a stone sinking into the sea, yielding no response.
“Your strength has indeed exceeded my expectations, but do you think you can have your way with me? I am not one of those newly promoted one-star Imperials.”
“I have comprehended the power of a two-star Imperial for thousands of years!” the elven guardian said, somewhat shamefacedly, unleashing his terrifying demonic energy. The extreme magic affected the stability of the alternate dimension.
“Is that so? Then let’s try.” Besides spatial power, Bai Ye’s body erupted with waves of formidable demonic energy once more.
Flame power, ice power, lightning power, wood power…
The elven guardian’s gaze trembled, and he couldn’t help but ask, “How many types of demonic powers do you control?”
“Want to know? Then see if you can last until then!” Bai Ye raised his hand, ceasing further pleasantries.
"Spatial Cut!"
"Soul Freeze!"
"Life Force Reversal, Withering, Decay..."
…
In one go, Bai Ye unleashed ten spells, each carrying a fatal aura. In the past, he wouldn’t have been able to achieve such a feat. Firstly, different demonic powers couldn't be used simultaneously, and switching between them took time. Secondly, his demonic energy wouldn’t have been sufficient. But now, it was different; no one knew just how powerful he truly was!
“Sacred Wing Guardian!”
“Light, erase these calamities…”
The elven guardian’s face contorted rapidly as he shouted incantations and poured all his might into resisting. However, when Bai Ye’s flames surged towards his holy light, all the luminescence vanished. The power of spatial cuts ravaged his sturdy wings, causing feathers to drift down.
Heart-stopping lightning struck from all directions. Amidst the crackling sounds, the elven guardian’s pained cries could faintly be heard.
Under the elven guardian’s full defense with his two-star Imperial strength, Bai Ye’s ice power proved to be the most lethal, one directly attacking the soul, ignoring all defenses, while the other silently drained life force. The elven guardian’s aura rapidly weakened.
After one round of combat, the elven guardian’s noble and sacred appearance was gone. His body was covered in blood, his powerful wings shed feather by feather, leaving him bare and utterly pathetic.
Bai Ye flickered and closed in on the elven guardian, a cold light flashing in his eyes. Sensing his terrifying killing intent, the elven guardian’s heart trembled. He didn't have time to catch his breath and recover before unleashing his demonic power for a desperate final stand.
“A two-star Imperial is nothing more than this…” Bai Ye’s gaze sharpened, and an oppressive aura permeated the entire surrounding space. “Spatial Suppression!”
The alternate dimension began to compress violently!
How could this be, so terrifying! The elven guardian, who was about to counterattack, felt an unimaginably dreadful pressure, his hands seemingly bound by a thousand shackles, making even breathing difficult.
Within a few breaths, the alternate dimension had compressed to a size barely accommodating the two of them. At this moment, the elven guardian was frozen like a statue.
“Explode!”
“RUMBLE!!!”
Bai Ye retreated from the space. In the next second, an incredibly terrifying explosion erupted in the sky above a ten-thousand-zhang valley, flattening entire mountain ranges around it.
[Killed a two-star Imperial, Reputation +10 Billion…]
Deep within the Tytus World, the explosion stirred. The moment the elven two-star Imperial died, several ancient powerhouses abruptly opened their eyes…
