After Feng Yao unleashed her arrows, any of the resentment demons not killed were at least badly wounded!
A wave of shouts swept over the MIllion Starlight Palace. The excitement swelled like a tidal wave from all directions, crashing into the central Samsara Hall. The praises for Feng Yao were distinctly audible among them.
Within this chorus, the talented resentment demons of the Heavenly Demon Stellar River became mere backdrops and stepping stones, their previously heaven-defying images instantly torn apart.
"Ah, my disciple really doesn’t know her own strength; she just killed several of the top geniuses from the Heavenly Demon Stellar River in one go," Si Ji said with an exasperated smile, touching her forehead. She then cast a lingering glance at the opposing Boundless Chamber.
It was clear to see that the aloof expressions of the Violet Dragon Emperor, Corpse Cloud Emperor, and Mist Empress were now slightly contorted, looking quite unsightly.
Meanwhile, the old Blue Necrosquid remained composed, even meditating with his eyes closed, his tentacles causing the Mist Empress to continuously whimper.
"Drop the high and mighty act already. This conflict never concerned you in the first place. Yet, you still chose to step up and shield those worms. Now, your own geniuses have ended up dead!" Si Ji taunted. Her temperament was indeed not the best, nor was she known for her diplomacy, often being quite blunt.
"Cough, cough!" Zu Xinchen, standing nearby, coughed nervously as a reminder. After all, the Heavenly Demon Stellar River, being more united, was stronger than the Heavenly Deity Stellar River.
Although the Heavenly Demon Stellar River was taking action against the Harmony Divine Palace on behalf of the Dragon Devil Clan, the smarter move for the Harmony Divine Palace would be to focus on the Southern Divine Dragon Realm instead of antagonizing an even more formidable opponent!
That was the logical approach, but taking the logical approach when actively being provoked was quite difficult!Si Ji was unwilling to grovel before the Heavenly Demon Stellar River, begging them not to intervene in her conflict with the Southern Divine Dragon Realm.
Her cold words pointed directly at the Heavenly Demon Stellar River, causing the Corpse Cloud Emperor's eyebrows to furrow, while the Violet Dragon Emperor could barely contain his glee, almost bursting into laughter.
Originally, the Violet Dragon Emperor was concerned about how to keep the Heavenly Demon Stellar River on his side and further strengthen their alliance. But the situation seemed to pivot favorably without him needing to lift a finger.
With Si Ji provoking this Boundless Immortal beside him, she was inadvertently dragging the entire Heavenly Demon Stellar River into the life-or-death struggle between the Southern Divine Dragon Realm and Harmony Divine Palace!
Even though the Heavenly Demon Stellar River was already supporting the Dragon Devil Clan, it was just lending a hand.
All the Harmony Divine Palace had to do was endure a little. There was no need to resist so fiercely and even counterattack!
This was exactly the scenario the Dragon Devil Clan wanted to see!
Even Si Ji's labeling of the Dragon Devil Clan as worms didn’t seem to embarrass the Violet Dragon Emperor; he even felt like applauding her.
Of course, outwardly, he had to show great anger, and coldly said to Si Ji, "Picking up a couple of geniuses and then getting too big for your boots? You kids may throw your weight around in the Heavenly Deity Stellar River. But to be so brazen against the Heavenly Demon Stellar River, you clearly don’t know the meaning of death!"
"That’s still better than one of the top three powers of the Heavenly Deity Stellar River acting like dogs for others," Si Ji retorted.
The Violet Dragon Emperor paused, visibly angered this time.
"Further discussion is pointless," the Cloud Corpse Emperor said, shaking his head and looking towards the screen, indifferently adding, "Let the rightful heir of the Blue Necrosquid demon tribe handle this." ᚱäNО₿ÊṦ
"It’s time this insolent girl learned a deep, bone-chilling lesson," the Violet Dragon Emperor sneered.
"Newly ascended to a Boundless Immortal and yet as naive as a child, as foolish as a greenhorn, it's quite laughable… Ahh…!" the Mist Empress commented, before letting out another soft moan.
Their gaze towards Si Ji mirrored the way people previously viewed Yun Xiao—as a naive fool, making enemies everywhere.
But Yun Xiao had proved himself countless times because he was genuinely formidable. How would Si Ji prove herself?
It was simple. The Grand Assembly of Myriad Sects was the stage for the new generation, and Si Ji's pride was built on Yun Xiao’s shoulders!
His performance now, especially during the conflict with the Heavenly Demon Stellar River, was crucial!
"The young heir of the Blue Necrosquid demon tribe..." Si Ji looked up, her eyes locked on the two combatants on the screen.
And Si Ji was not alone; hundreds of millions of spectators in the Million Starlight palace were watching the stand-off!
▬ι══🪦✧⚰️✧🪦══ι▬.
Back in the Ancestor Immortal Grotto, after Feng Yao ferociously eliminated several resentment demons, the remaining ones, far from being intimidated, became even more vicious and charged!
They were demons!
And once they closed in, they still had a great chance of completely overcoming Feng Yao!
Despite their injuries, the remaining resentment demons, driven by their pain and fury, let out fierce, eerie screams. They unleashed various types of demon magic, charging at Feng Yao with the unique characteristics of resentment demons.
"Damn it! You won't learn until you see the coffin! Watch how I shoot you to death!" Feng Yao coldly laughed, her confidence surging as she plunged back into the fierce battle.
"Little Yun, you’re not up to speed! I’m almost done here, and you haven’t even handled one squid!"
She deliberately taunted Yun Xiao, really laying on the pressure in her characteristically arrogant style.
This boastful attitude, this style, was indeed very similar to Yun Xiao’s, leading people to describe them as having a couple's resemblance!
While Feng Yao wreaked havoc riding a dragon, Yun Xiao held back, observing the Blue Necrosquid in front of him with curiosity.
"These resentment demons, born from death and chaos, may seem to have endured hardships but are actually incarnations of extreme malevolence, living undead, demonic beings with human faces," Yun Xiao remarked.
The resentment demon before him, floating like a kite, was a member of the Blue Necrosquid demon tribe. It existed between solid and spectral forms. Its upper body, more ethereal, embodied resentment, while its tentacles below represented greed and destruction.
The suckers represented greed, and the barbs represented destruction.
These resentment demons, embodying both greed and destruction, lived only to pillage and seize by force; it was their very nature. Any resistance would undoubtedly lead to destruction.
In some ways, they were similar to Yun Xiao, yet their methods and standards for achievement were diametrically opposed.
"Have you seen enough?"
The tentacles beneath Squidit slowly raised, surrounding his upper, spectral humanoid form, like a spirit in a prison struggling, howling, and filled with venom, intently staring at Yun Xiao.
Rarely seen performing at the Grand Assembly of Myriad Sects, the Blue Necrosquid demon tribe's infamous reputation instilled fear in all beings elsewhere. So, the presence of Squidit in the Million Starlight Palace stirred unease among the spectators.
Despite Feng Yao dominating the other resentment demons, no one dared to assume that Yun Xiao could defeat this specter of death from the rumors.
"Do your kind represent death?" Yun Xiao suddenly asked.
Squidit, with his hollow, unfathomable eyes, responded deeply, "Wrong, to be precise, we are death itself!"
"That’s fortunate," Yun Xiao replied, a sword and a sigil appearing in his hands. He cheerfully added, "My sword feasts on death, and my sigil purifies death."
Then, he materialized his Buddha's Treasure Spirit, which was seated atop a black and gold lotus, and continued, "My spirit also liberates from death."
"They all smell wonderful," Squidit remarked, his lips curling slightly, hinting that these measures were but food to him.
However, the next moment, he clearly saw that Yun Xiao’s sword and sigil were backed by 5,000 Sword Prisons and 5,000 Rune Prisons!
Such a number was nearly at the level of a powerhouse in the Eighth Baptism Realm!
How could such a young man possess such a terrifying Sword Soul and Life Sigil?
How did he absorb them, and how did he manage to sustain them?
The answer lay in the Golden Dragon Emperor and Blood Dragon Emperor—neither their Sword Soul nor Life Sigil had gone to waste.
Si Ji had recognized Yun Xiao as a monstrous anomaly only after witnessing him consume the resources of these two Dragon Emperors.
And Yun Xiao wasn't limited to his Sword Soul and Life Sigil.
His Buddha's Treasure Spirit had liberated countless super geniuses from the Heavenly Deity Stellar River. Those talents had now transformed into Buddha's Treasures. All of their memories, experiences, and insights converged upon his spirit, rendering his soul power outrageously strong, comparable to the 5,000 Sword and Rune Prisons!
Squidit's brow furrowed deeply as his tentacles swirled around his body more fiercely.
"You’ve become even more appetizing, stirring up my appetite... This kind of desire, I’ve never experienced before..."
