The moment the Black Abyss Sword struck, a transparent barrier appeared around the demonic heart. The sword landed on the barrier, causing ripples to spread across it.
One strike wasn't enough, but Li Shuang didn't hesitate, quickly unleashing a second and third strike!
Emperor Chenyang and Emperor Chenlie also reacted.
A sinister expression flashed across Emperor Chenyang's face: "Sword Sect disciple! I had planned to deal with you later, but since you've shown yourself, I'll just have to send you to your grave first!"
Emperor Chenyang grinned ferociously, his heart pounding in his chest. His clothes instantly ripped apart, and streaks of blood appeared on his skin.
Originally, he had looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, but at this moment, he transformed into a demon, just like the three demonic guards before him.
Li Shuang's expression subtly changed!
"My servant." The demonic heart emitted an alluring voice: "Extract the heart of the Sword Sect disciple, and I shall reward you!"
Emperor Chenyang didn't hesitate, his hands transforming into claws as he fiercely lunged at Li Shuang.
His speed and strength far surpassed those of the three demonic guards.
Li Shuang was forced to dodge, her expression becoming serious.
Nascent Soul stage!
Emperor Chenyang's physical body alone had been cultivated to the point where it could withstand a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!
However.
Cultivating only the physical body and not the soul was a fatal flaw in front of her, who controlled soul cultivation methods.
"Black Abyss!" The Black Abyss Sword stood before her.
"Soul Sever!"
Light scattered, and Emperor Chenyang's expression instantly became dazed.
Li Shuang seized the opportunity to strike with her sword, but Emperor Chenyang's physical strength was too great. Her strike barely managed to break through his defense, unable to inflict fundamental damage!
Crimson light flickered, and Emperor Chenyang quickly returned to normal. He glared ferociously at Li Shuang, shouting sharply, "My son, what are you still standing there for? Quickly join forces with me against the enemy!"
Emperor Chenlie seemed to awaken from a dream. He responded and also revealed his semi-demonic transformed body.
Li Shuang frowned. She dodged the two of them and quickly struck at the heart again.
This demonic heart was slowly rising towards the sky.
Li Shuang looked up.
Now, the entire imperial palace was enveloped by a crimson barrier, and this demonic heart was rushing towards this barrier.
If this demonic heart were to completely merge with this barrier,
The true Blood Fiend Body Refinement Array would come into being.
She had to prevent the demonic heart from merging with the blood barrier.
Li Shuang fiercely struck twice.
The demonic heart's voice rang out again.
"My servants, why have you not yet plucked her heart for me?!"
The demonic heart's words seemed to carry a hint of rage.
Emperor Chenyang and Emperor Chenlie's hearts tightened, and they quickly attacked Li Shuang.
As the two were about to pounce on Li Shuang, a fireball streaked across the sky, directly hitting their faces.
"Emperor Chenyang, Emperor Chenlie!" Luo Mingyue gritted her teeth, looking at the two of them: "As emperors of the human world, for your selfish desires, have you truly disregarded your country and all living beings?!"
Emperor Chenyang sneered: "You disciples of great sects are born with astonishing talent and have access to all sorts of cultivation secrets. How could you possibly understand the suffering of people like us!"
"Senior Sister, what's there to say to such people! Destroy that heart!"
Before the person arrived, sword light and voices came first. Streaks of sword light all struck the demonic heart's barrier.
Liu Juncheng, Sui Jin, and Jiang Yi arrived one after another.
The demonic heart's barrier finally swayed for an instant, but it was only for an instant. It continued to rise at a slow pace.
Luo Mingyue turned around and also slashed at the barrier. With her addition, the demonic heart's barrier visibly swayed even more violently.
"No one shall block my path!" Emperor Chenyang roared, the heart in his chest beating faster and faster. Finally, that heart suddenly exploded, and powerful energy surged into his body.
At this moment.
His strength reached the Soul Transformation stage!
Soul Transformation stage!
Everyone's expressions couldn't help but change.
No one could ignore a Soul Transformation stage powerhouse.
"Get out of the way quickly!" Luo Mingyue gritted her teeth and met a claw attack.
She was currently at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, barely able to exchange a few blows with a Soul Transformation stage cultivator.
As for Liu Juncheng and the others, they were completely unable to participate in this kind of battle!
On the other hand, Li Shuang.
With her soul cultivation methods, she could still provide some assistance to Luo Mingyue.
While Luo Mingyue was holding back Emperor Chenyang, Emperor Chenlie had already rushed towards the others.
Emperor Chenlie's strength hadn't reached the Soul Transformation stage, but he was also at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
Although he was a self-taught Nascent Soul stage cultivator, he wasn't someone who could be dealt with easily.
Everyone was held back, and the heart rose higher and higher.
Under the crimson shroud.
The imperial palace, the imperial city, the capital city.
More and more people noticed that something was wrong.
They looked up at the sky, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
Demonic path.
Had the demonic path returned again?
They could see people fighting in the sky.
That sword light.
Was it a Sword Sect disciple?
Had the Sword Sect disciples come to protect them?
With the strength of the Sword Sect, a mere demonic path would surely be no match, right?
Countless people began to pray devoutly.
In the Imperial Advisor's Hall.
Liu An's face was pale.
It was a battle of this level.
Don't look at him being at the Golden Core stage.
But his Golden Core stage, he feared, would be crushed by sword light and demonic energy as soon as he got close!
Liu An was momentarily shocked.
Was the gap between him and these true disciples of the Sword Sect really that great?
Even more terrifying was that.
Among their opponents, there was even a Soul Transformation stage existence!
That was the Soul Transformation stage!
Among the Six Sects, a Soul Transformation stage cultivator could barely serve as an elder.
In smaller sects outside, this was a sect master level powerhouse.
In the mortal world, this was no different from a celestial being.
Yet, in the Chenrong Kingdom, a Soul Transformation stage demon had appeared.
The deeper one delved into cultivation, the greater the disparity between realms.
Don't look at Luo Mingyue being at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, just a step away from the Soul Transformation stage.
But that one step was a huge chasm!
In the air.
Li Shuang's expression subtly changed.
In her mind, the Heaven and Earth Furnace suddenly underwent some strange changes.
Points of light appeared around the furnace.
Li Shuang probed with her divine sense.
"The Power of All Beings' Wishes: The capital city is enveloped in crisis, and the common people, sensing this, are praying, hoping that you can achieve victory. Due to the lack of corresponding cultivation methods, if this power of wishes is not used, it will slowly dissipate."
Li Shuang's pupils suddenly constricted. She collected these wishes of all beings and then discovered that these wishes could actually be exchanged in the Heaven and Earth Furnace.
"The Power of All Beings' Wishes (Special Substance): For what it is born, for that alone it can be used."
For what it is born.
For that alone it can be used.
In other words, this substance could only be used for the current event.
If not used.
The power of all beings' wishes would completely dissipate after half an hour.
However.
What she had now was not enough.
Far from enough.
Li Shuang couldn't help but look at Liu Juncheng and the others: "Senior Brother, Senior Sister, are you willing to give me something?"
Give her something?
The others were a little confused.
Why was Li Shuang saying this at such a time?
However, they didn't think much of it and casually said, "Whatever you want, Junior Sister, just take it."
Li Shuang nodded. She also specifically asked for the same promise from Luo Mingyue.
Clearly.
Their answers were sincere.
Thus.
In Li Shuang's mind, the points of light increased.
This was.
The power of all beings' wishes collected by Luo Mingyue and the others.
Li Shuang placed all the power of all beings' wishes into the furnace.
She only wanted to exchange for one thing: to completely destroy the Blood Fiend Body Refinement Array.
Currently.
The price was still a little short.
And the points of light representing the power of all beings' wishes were still slowly increasing!
