A small number of people, however, were stirred by this person's words, igniting their confidence in Fang Ming.
Thinking carefully, was Fang Ming truly a Taiyi Golden Immortal? He had never explicitly stated so.
Previously, during the Golden Immortal tribulation, they had assumed Fang Ming was at the peak of the Xuanxian realm, never expecting him to display the combat power of a Taiyi Golden Immortal.
But was this Taiyi Golden Immortal combat power truly Fang Ming's limit?
"If the young clan leader possessed the cultivation of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal..."
A small portion of the human race still held hope for Fang Ming.
At this very moment, the surrounding innate spiritual energy surged violently, and amidst the boundless spiritual energy, a majestic figure materialized.
He had a dragon's head and ox's horns, seven wings extending from his back, and was clad in white armor.
He sat enthroned in the Nine Heavens, his gaze fixed downwards, as if surveying all beings.
This was Xiu Pi, a Great Unity Demon God, an innate being nurtured by heaven and earth!
As if the humans' words had struck a chord of amusement, Demon God Xiu Pi laughed heartily:
"Interesting! Interesting! It's been a long time since I've encountered such an amusing human. They actually believe a human who has just passed the Golden Immortal tribulation possesses cultivation comparable to a Grand Unity Golden Immortal?"
"How ridiculous! They have no common sense of cultivation, how foolish!"
"The entire human race has only three Taiyi Golden Immortals. I, Xiu Pi, am truly fortunate to have encountered a Grand Unity Golden Immortal of the human race... Where did he come from?"
"Such a human with such peculiar thoughts is truly a delicious ingredient. This Demon God will savor you well!"
The Demon God, high above, revealed his true nature with his final words.
He had spoken so much merely to express his sentiment that the ingredients he was about to consume might possess unique characteristics.
He did not regard humans as equals but as food!
"Damn it!"
As the true form of the Great Unity Demon God descended, countless humans felt as if they were facing a being far superior to themselves.
Their bodies trembled, their instincts preventing them from uttering any words of offense towards this Great Unity Demon God!
Under the vast disparity in life essence, mere speech was a transgression! Even the thought of escape was suppressed, rendering their bodies immobile!
"This is a Great Unity Demon God, an innate being born from heaven and earth..."
The patriarch of the Xuanyang Tribe was also immobilized.
He profoundly understood the vast difference between the so-called "Innate Dao Body" of the innate humans, a physique created by innate beings, and true innate beings...
Among those present, only Fang Ming remained unaffected. Witnessing this, Fang Ming sneered mockingly:
"Well said, Great Unity Demon God, yet you are merely one of the three hundred and sixty-five Demon Gods of the Demon Court!"
"Merely a subordinate of the Ten Great Demon Sages!"
"You put on such a grand display? And you consider my human race as food, have you asked me, Fang Ming?"
Fang Ming's blood surged towards the heavens, his immense vitality engulfing an area of hundreds of billions of miles.
His colossal might directly counteracted the suppression exerted by Demon God Xiu Pi on everyone.
The humans felt refreshed, their bodies completely under their own control, no longer suppressed by the life essence of the Great Unity Demon God.
"A subordinate of the Ten Great Demon Sages? One of the three hundred and sixty-five Demon Gods?"
Upon Fang Ming's words, Demon God Xiu Pi abandoned his playful demeanor, his heart consumed by rage!
He knew Fang Ming was mocking his status within the Demon Court, implying he was merely a subordinate of the Ten Great Demon Sages, yet dared to oppress the human race.
This undoubtedly enraged Demon God Xiu Pi.
If the Wu Clan had said this, he would not have been angered, for the Wu Clan's strength was evident, and a few words wouldn't matter.
But mere humans, like ants, what right did they have to speak such words?
"Human ant, do you, an ant like yourself, have the right to discuss my status in the Demon Court? What are you, to dare speak such words?"
"Very well, you have successfully angered me. I shall devour you first!"
Demon God Xiu Pi, in his fury, struck first. A black claw extended, emanating an aura of desolation and death.
Within a radius of hundreds of billions of miles, under the influence of this terrifying aura, all vegetation withered instantly.
In Demon God Xiu Pi's view, this single claw was sufficient to kill Fang Ming!
He possessed infinite confidence in this strike. Though it was a blow struck in anger, it had already reached the level of a true Great Unity Golden Immortal.
The divine abilities of the Great Unity realm were capable of stirring countless spiritual energies of heaven and earth. Even dispatching cultivators at the peak of Taiyi was as easy as flipping one's hand. Could this young human withstand it?
"Well met!"
Fang Ming showed no fear whatsoever.
Although he sensed that Demon God Xiu Pi was at the mid-stage of the Great Unity realm, while he himself was merely newly entered into the Great Sage realm, corresponding to the early stage of Great Unity.
Furthermore, Demon God Xiu Pi had cultivated his divine abilities for at least hundreds of millions of years, whereas he had only obtained cultivation techniques from the Heaven-Shielding Realm, not any secret techniques like the Nine Secrets.
He was at a disadvantage in both cultivation and divine abilities, but it didn't matter. The words "Innate Sacred Body Dao Fetus" were enough to secure his victory in this battle.
How could the offensive and defensive capabilities of the Primordial Sacred Body be weaker than these ordinary Great Unity divine abilities?
Fang Ming simply threw a punch.
This punch carried the spirit of forging ahead fearlessly and shattering all dao.
The golden-hued fist shattered space wherever it passed.
In the next instant, Fang Ming's fist had already slammed into the black claw.
Boom!
To the disbelief of all humans and Demon God Xiu Pi, the divine ability unleashed by the Great Unity Demon God was shattered by this human youth!
A Great Unity Demon God's enraged strike was actually shattered in a head-on confrontation!
"Impossible, how could you block this divine ability... Are you truly a Grand Unity Golden Immortal?"
Seeing Fang Ming block the attack, Demon God Xiu Pi was profoundly shaken.
When he had seen Fang Ming's surging blood energy earlier, helping all humans negate his aura, he hadn't felt it was particularly remarkable.
The suppression brought about by the life essence of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, an innate being, was indeed difficult for humans of lower cultivation to withstand.
However, a Taiyi Golden Immortal, or even a Golden Immortal, with the aid of some spiritual treasures, could negate this oppressive aura without great difficulty.
Demon God Xiu Pi had previously assumed Fang Ming was merely a Golden Immortal who had the assistance of spiritual treasures, thus enabling him to directly negate his aura.
But now, he overturned his previous conclusion.
The divine ability from moments ago contained the essence of death and annihilation, a divine ability that Demon God Xiu Pi had cultivated for hundreds of millions of years.
To shatter this divine ability with one's physical body was something a Taiyi Golden Immortal could not accomplish. It would require a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, and moreover, a Grand Unity Golden Immortal with a well-cultivated physique!
But didn't the human race only have three Ancestors, who were Taiyi Golden Immortals? There were no Grand Unity Golden Immortals among the human race!
Where had this young-looking Grand Unity Golden Immortal emerged from?
The more Demon God Xiu Pi thought about it, the more shocked and bewildered he became.
On the ground, those who had witnessed Fang Ming shatter a Demon God's divine ability with a single punch were utterly ecstatic!
"The young clan leader actually shattered the Demon God's divine ability directly?"
