"Wood Spirit Immortal Lord!"/
The group of demons from Minlin halted their steps, exchanging glances with knowing smirks.
Their eyes gleamed with the satisfaction of a plan perfectly executed.
When this so-called Wood Spirit Immortal Lord returned to find Guili Plains swallowed by floodwaters—
What kind of expression would he wear then?
Ah, they wanted to see that face!
Heh-heh-heh!
"You don't actually think you alone can stand against over a dozen Demon Gods, do you?"
The leading demon stepped forward, sneering.
Behind the immortal mask that covered his face, Jiang Yan's expression remained blank, his gaze distant and cold.
"If you wish to die, then try me."
"Don't say I didn't warn you."
At Guyun Stone Forest, Morax gazed calmly at the three Demon God commanders raising their cups before him, yet he made no move to reciprocate.
"Gentlemen, if there's something you wish to say, just say it.
I am pressed for time."
Osial's cold tongue slid over his lips, his expression turning dark and frigid.
"Morax... are you refusing to give me face?"
Morax cast him a sidelong glance, his voice cool as stone.
"And if I am?"
"Hahahahaha! Good! Very good!"
Osial burst into manic laughter.
"In that case, my friends, why don't we ensure that our Lord of Stone never leaves this place alive!"
The commanders of Lisha and Minlin struck at once, joining Osial in a simultaneous assault on Morax.
"Dominance of Earth!"
The Jade Shield flared to life around him; Morax had anticipated the attack and evaded the combined strike.
The Vortex Vanquisher materialized in his grasp, its tip gleaming with golden light. Morax stood tall, his eyes sharp as a blade.
"So, you insist that blades must meet?"
"Heh... why else do you think we came alone?"
A torrent of elemental power gathered around the Minlin commander.
"We have long since joined forces. By now, I fear the Guili Plains are already nothing but ruins!"
"Or do you truly believe that your subordinate, that so-called Wood Spirit Immortal Lord, and his immortal hosts could possibly withstand an assault from more than twenty Demon Gods at once?"
Morax's expression darkened.
"Today, not only will your Guili Plains be reduced to rubble—
you, Morax, will fall here as well!"
Osial's voice was dripping with venom.
"In that case..."
"Then let us fight!"
A colossal meteor descended from the heavens, plunging into the sea below.
The undersea palace shattered beneath its impact.
Four Demon Gods burst from the depths, their battle raging across the skies above Guyun Stone Forest.
At the border between Guili Plains and Cuijue Slope,
Jiang Yan now stood face-to-face with the host of Minlin's Demon Gods.
"They say the Wood Spirit Immortal Lord is one of the fiercest generals under the Lord of Geo.
Today, we shall see for ourselves just how sharp your edge truly is!"
The Minlin demons roared, launching their assault.
Jiang Yan had already anticipated this. Bringing his hands together, he formed a seal.
Six massive Wooden Guardians rose in a row before him, white luminescence coursing around their fists, vibrating with condensed power.
They struck in unison—
the air shuddered, and the earth split apart.
The Demon Gods howled, attacking from multiple angles.
Jiang Yan crossed his arms, then swung them outward in a blur.
Crack... crack...
Rifts tore through the air, spreading outward from his fists.
"Air Tremor!"
Boom!
The unleashed shockwave shattered the incoming strikes, sending several demons stumbling back.
But before he could draw breath, another wave of Demon Gods surged forward.
The Wooden Guardians before him were obliterated almost instantly.
Jiang Yan's expression darkened.
"Immortal Art—Wood Release: Advent of the Flowering Tree Realm!"
With another seal, countless giant trees erupted from the ground, spreading into a vast forest.
Several Demon Gods roared in unison, their soundwaves blasting apart the nearest trees.
It was a brutal demonstration of how sheer quantity could transform into overwhelming power.
Jiang Yan's face hardened. Leaping back atop a wooden construct, he narrowly evaded the sonic shockwave.
Then, gathering immense elemental energy, he clapped his hands once more.
"Immortal Art—Wood Release: True Thousand-Armed Hands!"
The earth trembled violently. The trees rose higher and higher, merging together—
until a colossal Buddha, nearly a thousand meters tall, towered above the battlefield.
"That's... that's the move he used to defeat Chi!"
"Everyone, be on guard!"
The Demon Gods' cries filled the air as attacks like storms and avalanches converged upon him.
Jiang Yan's eyes gleamed coldly. His clasped hands did not falter.
Behind him, the Thousand-Handed Mandala began to turn slowly.
"Buddha's Top Transformation!"
A storm of fists burst forth from the mandala, each one wrapped in radiant, vibrating white energy, crashing down upon the Demon Gods below.
The earth screamed.
Mountains split.
The Demon Gods shattered wave after wave of the descending blows—
yet the barrage did not cease.
And in that moment, they finally understood what the Dragon Chi and the God of Dreams had felt beneath this relentless storm of fists.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The deafening roar of battle echoed unendingly across the land.
