"Boom!"
The surrounding demon guards erupted with monstrous demonic energy, their power engulfing the sky. Lightning flashed across the heavens.
Potent demonic energy pierced the world, cloaking it in dense, dark clouds with thunder and lightning. Thousands of kilometers were covered by this immense force, blocking out the sun as if a demon god had been angered.
Countless beings felt a great crisis and fled the area. Demonic beasts took to the skies, soaring away into the distance.
Waves of demonic winds spread outwards, forming a terrifying storm. Towering trees swayed violently, as if on the brink of destruction under the tempest.
The world became a scene of grim่ๆ, and powerful demonic energy enveloped Zhou Yan. Mighty demons surrounded him, completely sealing off his retreat and leaving him no chance to escape.
These demon powerhouses did not underestimate Zhou Yan, knowing his formidable strength. After all, he had defeated one of them with a single move.
The demon powerhouses each drew out their powerful weapons and treasures. Some wielded demon swords, densely covered with demonic inscriptions and exuding killing intent, akin to the array formations of the human race, capable of enhancing a weapon's destructive power.
One demon powerhouse produced a gourd that radiated golden light. This was a gourd from a demon vine, extremely precious, only bearing one fruit every ten thousand years. Once refined into a demon artifact, its power increased significantly. Though not a sacred artifact, it was close.
Each of the more than a dozen demon guards was at least at the ninety-fifth heaven realm. Even Uncle He, their leader, was in the Demigod realm, possessing immense divine power and formidable combat strength.
"Let us show you our might!" Uncle He activated the formation, sealing the nine heavens and ten earths, completely trapping Zhou Yan within its confines.
Distant demon powerhouses, witnessing the scene in the sky, were greatly shocked. "Who are these people? They can actually deploy the Nine Heavens God-Slaying Formation!"
"This is a top-tier formation. It's said to be capable of slaying even gods. I wonder who these demon magnates are facing. Could it be a Demon King?"
"Why would a Demon King leave? That person... that person is riding the Nine-Headed Golden Lion King. He's human! And that pink war chariot, isn't that Princess Huoling's ride? She's actually here..."
"I heard Princess Huoling had long wanted to tame the Nine-Headed Golden Lion King as her mount. It seems this human beat her to it, and now she wants to snatch it away."
"Given Princess Huoling's temperament, she would definitely do something like this. There's nothing she desires that she cannot obtain."
...
"Nine Heavens God-Slaying Formation, activate!" Uncle He released a wave of demonic energy, forming hand seals. He held a peculiar treasure in his hand, resembling a sharp object.
This was the Soul-Chasing Nail, capable of attacking the soul, and extremely potent. If Zhou Yan hadn't been so peculiar, making Uncle He unable to gauge his true depth, he wouldn't have resorted to such a weapon.
"They're even using the Soul-Chasing Nail!"
The demons watching from afar were astonished. This was a powerful treasure capable of destroying souls. And the demon wielding it was a Demigod!
"Heavens, who is this person... could he really be a Demon King... Impossible, he's clearly human."
Zhou Yan was not only confined by the formation but also faced numerous powerful treasures. These individuals had consolidated all their demonic power, making their attacks incredibly potent.
Coupled with the fact that the one controlling the formation was a powerful demon magnate like Uncle He.
The formation sealed heaven and earth, exuding the pressure of the Heavenly Dao. It drained all the spiritual energy around Zhou Yan, preventing him from replenishing any energy from the world.
A powerful, oppressive force loomed over Zhou Yan, intending to crush him into pulp. However, no matter how intensely this force impacted him, it posed no threat.
It was as if these forces were protected by a stronger power, unable to touch Zhou Yan.
A strange energy emanated from Zhou Yan's body. A Tai Chi formation appeared spontaneously to protect him, forming a diagram that enveloped him with Yin and Yang energy. All incoming forces were blocked.
"What peculiar energy!" Uncle He exclaimed in surprise, frowning. He could sense that this power was extraordinary, especially the Tai Chi diagram, which seemed to possess unique properties.
"Whoosh!"
A beam of light erupted, consolidating the strike of all the demon powerhouses. It was an attack filled with destructive energy, making the void itself seem on the verge of shattering, possessing an unstoppable, world-crushing momentum.
"Rumble!"
Zhou Yan clenched his fist, unleashing a primordial Yin-Yang divine power. This was Zhou Yan's spiritual energy, incredibly mystical, an energy from the primordial chaos at the beginning of creation.
A fist emerged from space, like an ancient sage traversing a distant tunnel, imbued with mystery and immense power.
The fist carried unparalleled sacred power, radiating a divine aura that compelled an urge to prostrate, as if a true celestial god had descended, filled with supreme might.
"Hum!"
The fist shattered everything. Nothing could stop this god-like fist. The entire void was broken, and the formation began to tremble violently.
"Pfft!"
One of the demon powerhouses, struck by the backlash of the terrifying energy, spat out a mouthful of blood. His earlier attack had been met with a severe counter-recoil, causing him to fall from the sky.
"Such powerful attack!" Uncle He was utterly shocked. They had attacked Zhou Yan with the formation's power, but not only had they failed, but one of their own was also severely injured. This greatly surprised him.
Uncle He channeled the formation again. All the great demons unleashed their powerful demonic energy once more, intensifying this strike to an even greater degree. This move could casually devour a Demigod-level expert.
"Boom!"
This attack continued towards Zhou Yan's earlier fist. Under the impact of these two powerful forces, the fist was finally shattered, and the resulting energy shockwave tore open the entire void.
"Crack!"
A mountain peak, struck by the energy shockwave, began to fracture. The thousand-meter peak quickly reduced to a few hundred meters in height.
"So strong!" The distant demons quickly fled far away. Such combat was too terrifying. Casual exchanges could turn those below the ninety-ninth heaven into dust. This was the true power of experts fighting.
Countless beings watched the battle, their eyes fixed, as if afraid of missing anything.
