Five tribulation-stage demonic beasts—this battle would be tough, but not impossible.
First, Li Shuang's spiritual consciousness was not inferior to these demonic beasts; in fact, after enduring countless trials and tribulations, her spiritual consciousness held an advantage.
Secondly, these demonic beasts belonged to an unknown species. They seemed unable to use weapons, relying solely on bizarre limb attacks. With the Black Abyss Sword and Lili, Li Shuang also had the upper hand in terms of weaponry.
After half an hour of tangled combat, Li Shuang seized an opportunity and killed another demonic beast.
Afterward, the demonic beasts thought she was exhausted. However, the recovery effects of the Supreme Oblivion Technique far exceeded their imagination, and Li Shuang's stamina also greatly surpassed what they expected.
Within another incense stick's time, Li Shuang killed yet another demonic beast.
As the number of demonic beasts dwindled, Li Shuang's speed in eliminating them increased.
By the time only two demonic beasts remained, the others also abandoned their defensive positions, swarming forward and directly annihilating these last two creatures.
The moment all seven demonic beasts disappeared, everyone couldn't help but cheer.
This time, they had been on a path to certain death. Seven tribulation-stage demonic beasts were beyond their ability to resist.
But Li Shuang had displayed unimaginable combat power, single-handedly turning the tide and saving them.
"Fellow Daoist Li, thank you."
"If it weren't for you, we'd be dead."
"And thank you for sparing Senior Brother Yan Fan's face in the previous arena competition."
Yan Fan had been standing nearby, unsure whether to step forward.
Upon hearing that remark, his face instantly changed!
Damn it. Was this what they called a backstab from a fellow disciple?
Yan Fan walked over with a dark expression, dragging the disciple away. "Shut up!"
Seeing Yan Fan's reaction, everyone chuckled.
A faint smile even appeared on Li Shuang's lips.
In the midst of this pleasant atmosphere, the black orb enveloping them suddenly vanished.
"We're out!"
"Finally done!"
"The sect elders must be worried sick."
Everyone smiled as they looked outside.
However, as the layers of darkness completely dispersed, their smiles froze on their faces.
A hint of disbelief flashed in Li Shuang's eyes; she immediately looked towards the giant tree in the center!
The moment she saw the giant tree, the Heaven and Earth Furnace had already provided information.
"Transcendent-grade demon seed. Ability: ??? Strength: ??? Demon Seed Type: ???"
Transcendent-grade demon seed!
And the specific details of this demon seed were all question marks!
Li Shuang had encountered quite a few things related to demon seeds in the Central Continent.
But among the demon seeds she knew of, the highest grade was only high-grade!
Don't be fooled into thinking that the parasitic demon seed on Ye Zhaozhao died easily.
In reality?
If the Heaven and Earth Furnace hadn't suddenly awakened, Ye Zhaozhao would have stepped over her corpse to rise to power!
A single high-grade demon seed was enough to plague an entire continent!
But now, a transcendent-grade demon seed had appeared before her!
Although she had never heard any information about transcendent-grade demon seeds, judging by the furnace's reaction, the ability of this demon seed was likely far superior to that of a high-grade demon seed!
Li Shuang's body trembled slightly.
She had thought that by eliminating Ye Zhaozhao, the crisis in the Southern Azure Continent would be largely resolved.
But it turned out that a transcendent-grade demon seed was hidden here!
At this moment, the Cangyuan Sect was already in chaos.
The demonic invasion and the betrayal of some traitors had plunged the righteous cultivators into an absolute crisis.
Disciples fought below, while high-level battles raged in the sky.
The entire Cangyuan Sect had been ravaged beyond recognition! Grand halls collapsed one after another, broken stones and tiles flying everywhere.
The ground was covered in cracks, and faintly, fresh blood flowed through them.
Disciples of the Flowing Moon Sect played enchanting music, while the disciples of the Hegemony Gate were glassy-eyed, fighting blindly like the demon souls.
In such a short time, this place had become a living hell.
"Demonic scoundrels, how dare you!" Yan Fan's eyes nearly burst from their sockets as he charged forward.
The disciples who had just emerged also followed suit.
Li Shuang remained still, her gaze fixed on the giant tree.
As if feeling Li Shuang's stare, the giant tree turned its head, its eerie face directly meeting Li Shuang's.
The giant tree chuckled softly: "Oh? You truly have some capability. Li Shuang… interesting, interesting, truly interesting!"
The giant tree's branches spread out, surging towards Li Shuang.
Li Shuang's pupils constricted.
This kind of power was completely beyond her current ability to resist.
She had long realized this.
So, without hesitation, she crushed the first thunder marrow in her hand.
An incredibly terrifying power emanated from the thunder marrow.
The next second, a lightning clone of Yujin appeared in the air.
Thunder roared down, instantly splitting the attacking branch in half.
The giant tree showed no hurry, looking up at Yujin with an amused expression.
"Lord City Master, it really is you."
Confining Li Shuang and the others in the black orb was merely an experiment for him.
Li Shuang had emerged alive, so the outcome of the experiment was clear.
There were only a handful of young geniuses in the entire human race capable of killing a tribulation-stage cultivator when they were still at a lower stage.
If you added the prefix "completely unknown," then who Li Shuang was became self-evident!
Who else could she be but Li, the top-ranked genius?
The moment the lightning struck, everyone seemed to momentarily lose their focus.
This, this powerful aura is...
Does the Southern Azure Continent actually have such a formidable expert?
Yan Fan looked at the illusory figure in the sky, involuntarily muttering, "Lord City Master!"
He hadn't been in Wanfa City long, but he had coincidentally witnessed a few major events and had seen Lord Yujin from afar!
In the Southern Azure Continent, only Li Shuang could summon the City Master!
"City Master? What City Master?" A hint of surprise flashed in Yun Qingyu's eyes.
The next moment, she suddenly realized.
How many City Masters could there be in this world?
This woman was clearly the City Master of Wanfa City, the legendary figure who had reached the pinnacle of power in the mortal realm!
"The City Master of Wanfa City!"
Everyone was pleasantly surprised.
They had originally been deep in a bitter struggle, on the verge of defeat.
But now that the City Master had arrived, would they be saved?
Yan Zhong and the others couldn't help but show expressions of suspicion and uncertainty.
City Master?
Who was this person?
Could there still be a turn of events today?
The illusory figure of Yujin looked at the giant tree below, her face exceptionally grim.
Transcendent-grade demon seed!
The Mother Tree of the Heavenly Abyss had actually birthed another transcendent-grade demon seed!
And this transcendent-grade demon seed had even found its way to the Southern Azure Continent!
Yujin's face was extremely somber.
She had thought that the protections she had given Li Shuang would be enough for her to defend herself.
But who could have imagined that there would be a transcendent-grade demon seed here!
The Southern Azure Continent is in peril!
"Lord City Master." The giant tree gave Yujin an eerie smile. "Long time no see."
My dears, I owe one chapter from last time, and I owe one today. For the next two days, the weekend, there will be three chapters each day. This will allow me to focus on finishing this major plotline.
