Chapter 1794 No more fighting
The wind howled like a hurricane; the waves surged like mountains, rolling back towards the sky in layers.
The river water was no longer water, but had become a huge gray-black silk cloth that was being repeatedly twisted by two invisible giant hands, bursting out with thousands of spiderweb-like white rays amidst a teeth-grinding cracking sound.
The underwater palaces of the rivers shook violently, causing countless old turtles to lead their shrimp soldiers and crab generals to the surface.
They watched the fierce battle from afar on the shore.
Lower in the sky, the ink-black clouds were torn and stretched by unseen vortexes, forming a funnel-shaped cloud abyss covering hundreds of miles.
In the center of the cloud abyss, one golden fire dragon after another did not fall, but was "pulled" down by some force.
The light shone fiercely on the two blurry figures rushing along the riverbank, and the exploding ball of light illuminated the entire world, making it flicker.
Chen Wanli's fists had transformed into axe-wielding strikes, Chi Jing's upper body muscles were bulging, his heart was pounding, and his vital energy was surging like a river.
The Golden-Eyed Lion King's magnificent body kept colliding with the axe shadows slashing down from Chen Wanli.
A man and a beast, going back and forth.
In the blink of an eye, they had been locked in a stalemate for over a hundred moves.
The longer the battle lasted, the uglier the Demon Emperor's expression became.
Given its strength, if it cannot win in a prolonged battle, it will lose face throughout the entire Demon Cave.
At this moment, everyone watching the battle gaped in astonishment.
Including the Dragon King and his son.
Initially, it was thought that Chen Wanli would be badly beaten, but later it was assumed that he would be defeated in thirty to fifty moves, or at least beaten so badly that he would be buried in the ground and unable to be dug out.
Now, we're watching helplessly as we're evenly matched, with neither side gaining the upper hand!
The shock I felt was beyond words.
Reaching the Nascent Soul stage is no longer the case for beginners in martial arts, where it takes three years to reach one aperture and ten years to reach one realm. Instead, the difference between each realm is like an insurmountable chasm.
Similarly, the difference in combat power between each realm is like the difference between clouds and mud.
Chen Wanli was able to fight against beings one level stronger than himself at every level, which was truly astonishing and surprising.
"Terrifying talent, top-notch cultivation techniques—even I am curious about what kind of inheritance he received to be able to cultivate into such a freak!"
The Dragon King shook his head, sighed softly, and his arrogant expression turned serious.
"His combat skills are so high that even the tortoise is amazed. Several times, the Lion King almost found his weakness, but he managed to neutralize it in time!"
Grandpa Turtle had somehow appeared behind the Dragon King and his son, marveling at their abilities.
The old tortoise was only half a saint in strength, but he had lived a long time and his vision was naturally extraordinary.
The Demon Emperor was now truly enraged, his lantern-like golden eyes flashing with golden light.
Golden flames shot from Chen Wanli's eyes, while terrifying golden light also shot from the eyes of the Golden-Eyed Lion King.
Wherever the golden light touched, mountains and cliffs were violently shattered.
All of a sudden.
The golden flames touched the Demon Emperor's fur, causing the flames to rise, and the furious lion's roar was like thunder, making everyone (the demons) tremble.
The golden light also pierced through Chen Wanli's arm. With a crisp cracking sound, Chen Wanli's left arm was covered with cracks, as if it was about to explode at any moment.
But without the slightest hesitation, taking advantage of the Lion King's panicked attempt to extinguish the traces of Yin and Yang Fire, he wielded his axe in one hand and slashed fiercely at one of its hind legs.
There was a loud clang.
Like the aftermath of a metal collision.
The Demon King's hind leg was severed from its flesh and bone, with only a layer of skin connecting it, and blood gushed out!
Chen Wanli struck successfully and retreated rapidly.
One had a broken arm, and the other had a broken leg.
"happy!"
Chen Wanli hovered in the void, his injured arm surrounded by a gray light, slowly recovering.
His face was expressionless, but his cold eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
Looking down at the Demon Emperor from his high vantage point, as if he were looking at his prey.
What a magnificent spirit!
So what if she's one of the strongest fighters in the Demon Cave?
So what if one is about to reach the Void Refinement stage?
A hint of solemnity appeared in the Demon Emperor's golden eyes.
"It seems I truly underestimated you!"
"We're only a hair's breadth apart!"
Chen Wanli was enveloped in green wood spirits, and covered in the gray light of chaotic elemental energy.
He took out a handful of pills to replenish his almost depleted true energy.
His nonchalant movements made it seem as if the horrific injuries on his body were merely an illusion.
Such desperate acts are nothing out of the ordinary.
Is this fierce fellow really from the human race?
Long Jihai subconsciously swallowed. His father always said that his eldest brother was an impulsive madman, and that he died because of this flaw.
But looking at what was in front of it, it felt that this was true madness!
Even someone this arrogant might not die!
It seems that being arrogant isn't the problem; the problem is whether one has the capital to be arrogant.
Chen Wanli clearly does possess it.
At least based on the fighting power that Chen Wanli is currently displaying.
Father would never watch him die!
The Dragon King is indeed no longer able to maintain his position.
This is a real fight!
If the fighting continues, even if no one dies, it will be a lose-lose situation.
The Moon God Platform cannot function without the Yin and Yang Fires, and its relationship with the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain also means that the Lion King cannot be allowed to suffer any harm.
"Ahem, let's stop here when we've sparred. The Lion King has a slight edge. How about the two of you head to the Dragon Palace for a cup of Hidden Dragon Brew?"
The Dragon King interrupted.
But this only earned him two soft hums.
The next second, the two figures collided violently again.
Damn it! The Dragon King cursed inwardly.
A few moments later, there were more than a dozen violent collisions. When the two figures separated, blood splattered in the void.
Chen Wanli's body was cracked, and the Lion King lost an arm.
Both of them were panting heavily, glaring fiercely at each other.
Both of them were clearly giving it their all, and even the Demon Emperor was no longer holding back.
Aside from a few life-or-death moves, they used every move they could.
But they still couldn't subdue Chen Wanli.
The Demon Emperor was completely bewildered.
Can the human body be this strong?
It's very unhappy.
"Come again!"
With a roar, the Demon Emperor charged forward once more.
Chen Wanli neither dodged nor avoided the attack, but went to meet it head-on.
Time passed by minute by minute.
It is said that when masters clash, a single move can determine the winner.
But clearly, that statement is no longer valid today!
Chen Wanli fought the Demon Emperor for a full hour.
There was a two-minute break at halftime.
Its main theme is that it doesn't submit to anyone.
The anger on the Demon Emperor's face had been replaced by exhaustion.
This is way too hard to kill!
It felt that if it really wanted to kill Chen Wanli, the price it would have to pay would be that it would have no hope of reaching the Void Refinement stage.
Thinking of this, its fighting spirit was no longer as intense as it had been at the beginning.
All that remained was a slight annoyance.
"Come again!"
Chen Wanli beckoned with his finger again, and the jade axe flew up.
The Demon Emperor hesitated for a moment, then the axe flashed and wiped away a piece of flesh from its chest.
This won't do; continuing this fight is pointless!
The Dragon King sensed the Demon Emperor's intention to retreat, and while inwardly grumbling, he quickly leaped forward and stood between them:
"Chen Wanli, that's enough. I have important matters to discuss with you. Don't waste your time on these trivial things!"
Chen Wanli sneered, "Fight if you want, leave if you want. Do you think I'm a pushover? Do you think I can be bullied by anyone?"
The Golden-Eyed Lion King sneered and tossed out a storage artifact: "I'm not fighting anymore! I was overestimating myself. This is my apology!"
"???" Chen Wanli was stunned.
As for the Demon Slayer Emperor, he had no such intention.
Even with the Demon Emperor's strength, killing him was not as easy as one might imagine.
If he's willing, paying a certain price isn't out of the question.
But with the Dragon King by his side, waiting to control him, he was unwilling to pay that price.
The purpose of this action was to test the combat power of a fully opened spiritual vein and also to intimidate the Dragon King.
But the Demon Emperor admitted defeat far too quickly.
It was so fast that it took Chen Wanli several turns to react.
Old Deng also felt that he couldn't win, and that killing Chen Wanli by force would come at too high a price!
If the Heavenly Demon King isn't killed, and the Dragon King isn't killed, why should the Lion go through the trouble of killing him?
Killing them would bring no benefit and would only offend the Dragon King and Lord Ye!
If you can't win a fight and lose face, are you going to fight for pride and lose face too?
Chen Wanli probed his divine sense into the storage treasure and glanced at the Demon Emperor's so-called "apology".
There was actually a top-grade spiritual root inside.
There were also some miscellaneous high-grade magic weapons and elixirs.
Chen Wanli sighed deeply. These old monsters at the very top were indeed more stable!
They won't act recklessly out of momentary anger.
It was also due to their circumstances that the Demon Emperor, the Dragon King, and the Heavenly Demon King all longed for the Refinement of Emptiness.
Everything can yield to the pursuit of refining emptiness.
The ancestors of the gods, however, faced the danger of their race's survival, struggling to survive in the cracks and inevitably encountering perilous situations.
Before Chen Wanli could speak, the Demon Emperor immediately activated his escape technique.
"Hey, wait a minute! I haven't said you can leave yet!" Chen Wanli chased after him, axe in hand.
"Ha, if you're so capable, then let me stay!"
The Demon Emperor's voice drifted from afar, carrying a hint of provocation.
Chen Wanli curled his lip, but stopped chasing: "If you're so capable, then don't run away!"
The Dragon King sighed and chased after Chen Wanli, saying, "Ahem, Ancestor Chen, our grand plan is more important than these unimportant matters!"
Chen Wanli slowly turned around: "Does the Dragon King wish to offer some guidance?"
"Chen Shenzu is exceptionally talented. The early gods often said that you have the appearance of a celestial being. I had heard this, but I did not believe it. However, what I saw with my own eyes later proved that it was true. It just unexpectedly caused some estrangement between us."
Today's battle was like witnessing a roc soaring to the heavens—a cause for celebration! It's all my fault for being so petty.
The Dragon King, abandoning his previous arrogance and indifference, completely forgot his anger at being tricked by Chen Wanli and showered him with praise.
Chen Wanli chuckled: "My strength has increased so much, is the Dragon King genuinely happy for me? I think the Dragon King will only feel that I'm hard to control and will be displeased."
The Dragon King thought to himself, "These are all obvious facts. Why bring them up? Chen Wanli can do all sorts of things on his own, and it's the same thing."
But they had no choice but to continue the performance and maintain a "decent" facade.
“Before, we weren’t familiar with each other, so there was naturally a distance between us. Now that we’re going to enter the Moon God Platform together, it’s a matter of sincere cooperation, so how can there be any talk of manipulation?”
Chen Wanli's lips twitched. The Dragon King's words were suddenly very tactful.
Offering unsolicited favors is...
