The black mist's power was immense, and when it clashed with Chen Xi, it felt as though heaven and earth trembled.
Yu Yuan and Jin Yan looked up from above the South Sea, attempting to provide support upon seeing this, but unexpectedly discovered that Chen Xi was not at a disadvantage in this confrontation.
He systematically released his spiritual energy, pushing his palms forward, actually forcing the black mist back dozens of meters.
The black mist did not linger, retreating and then shattering the Extermination Formation with a counter-attack, drawing the increasingly uncontrollable Blood Demon Fiend back to safety and gradually revealing its true form.
It was none other than the Rakshasa Heavenly Venerate.
Qi Yu clutched his chest, stepping back with Si Qing.
Yan Hua used his spiritual energy to stabilize their breaths.
"I truly didn't expect it to be so lively here today," the Rakshasa Heavenly Venerate said, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes as he looked at Qi Yu, Si Qing, and the others. "Blood Demon Fiend, you're becoming more and more useless. You can't even deal with these few ants."
The Blood Demon Fiend showed a look of shame, kneeling on one knee. "It is my subordinate's carelessness. I will do my utmost to rectify my mistakes."
The Rakshasa Heavenly Venerate curved his lips and calmly told him to go.
The Blood Demon Fiend obeyed, turning to look at Qi Yu's group. He opened his palm upwards, gathering all the surrounding malevolent energy bit by bit.
Once a certain degree of concentration was reached, he suddenly raised his hand, using the powerful fiendish energy in his palm to break through the clouds and reach the sky above.
Instantly, the sky and earth changed color, the spiritual energy in the air was gradually eroded, and even the clouds were dyed black.
The fiendish energy began to seep downwards.
This caused the celestial spirits near the Eighth Heaven to lose their spiritual power, falling from mid-air into the South Sea.
"This won't do if it continues," Qi Yu said with a grave expression, raising his hand to summon the Abyssal Hell, absorbing all the fiendish energy that was about to invade the South Sea into it.
However, there was too much fiendish energy; Qi Yu alone was not enough.
Just as the fiendish energy was about to invade the Ninth Heaven, the Rakshasa Heavenly Venerate suddenly attacked, unleashing a palm strike towards Yan Hua, An Nuo, and Shao Feng.
The three struck back in unison.
Spiritual energy and malevolent energy clashed, holding each other in equilibrium.
With the three of them tied up, the offensive force of the others was significantly reduced, and the power to stop the fiendish energy became negligible.
Although Si Qing was assisting, he was simultaneously guarding the heaven and earth barrier to prevent the fiendish energy from invading the South Sea and other territories, leaving him with no spare capacity.
Yan Hua called out to Chen Xi.
Chen Xi responded, "I know," and then suddenly removed his azure outer robe, throwing it into the air.
The robe transformed in mid-air into azure dragon scales, piece by piece, forming a net-like structure that enveloped the people above, creating a hemispherical barrier.
The Rakshasa Heavenly Venerate sneered, "Overestimating your abilities."
Chen Xi did not speak, merely spun and pushed!
The hemispherical dragon scale barrier suddenly expanded exponentially, eventually covering the entire Eighth and Ninth Heavens, while simultaneously pushing the powerful fiendish energy out of the barrier's range and expelling it to the Thirteenth Heaven.
At the same time.
Qi Yu seized the opportunity to summon the fiendish energy, which had been frozen into an ice ball, from the Abyssal Hell.
He hurled it directly at the Blood Demon Fiend and the Rakshasa Heavenly Venerate!
This sudden attack forced the Rakshasa Heavenly Venerate to temporarily withdraw his power and step back.
An Nuo, Shao Feng, and the others were also able to disengage and catch their breath.
Seeing that Chen Xi's dragon scale barrier had completely isolated the fiendish energy, the Rakshasa Heavenly Venerate looked at Qi Yu and Chen Xi with surprise, his voice cold. "I didn't expect you two to have some skill."
Qi Yu remained silent.
After using the Abyssal Hell, the cold aura emanating from him caused a blue diamond-shaped mark to appear on his forehead.
"Azure Dragon Repels Demonic Illusions, you know?" Chen Xi looked up at the Rakshasa Heavenly Venerate and the Blood Demon Fiend. "With me here, you're still far from being able to drain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth using fiendish energy."
"Azure Dragon Repels Demonic Illusions? Lord Yu Yuan, Lord Jin Yan, what is that?" Chu Xian, standing within the safe zone of the South Sea, asked curiously upon hearing Chen Xi's words.
