“You little brat, you think just because you have a couple of supreme-grade immortal artifacts, we can’t take you down with so many of us here? Everyone, charge! Kill him! Kill him!” Ao Hong, after escaping from the Sacred Demon Mountain and gathering a large number of demon beasts, had collected all their magical treasures and kept them on himself as a precaution.
He instantly activated over thirty defensive artifacts, forming a visible shield of light around his body.
He also possessed dozens of top-grade immortal artifacts and various magical treasures.
Ao Hong had also noticed that Shui Miao’s cultivation level wasn’t particularly high; his reliance was merely on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts.
Now, in this open space, with his subordinates, his arsenal of treasures, and having consumed numerous elixirs to restore half of his cultivation, he didn’t believe he couldn’t defeat Shui Miao under these circumstances.
Indeed, Ao Hong’s subordinates were all formidable.
The tens of thousands of demon beasts that attacked the Sacred Demon Mountain hadn’t suffered many losses. Most of the demon beasts Ao Hong kept by his side were at the level of Immortal Lords and Immortal Elders, the absolute elite of the demon beast clan.
“…”
The demon beasts didn’t move, looking at each other, seemingly hesitant.
They couldn’t gauge the cultivation level of the person before them, and the fact that this person had forced Ao Hong to retreat several steps indicated he was no ordinary individual.
It was evident that not all demon beasts were mindless brutes.
Moreover, Ao Hong himself had mentioned that Shui Miao possessed two supreme-grade immortal artifacts, whose immense power was well-known. No matter how foolish, no one would be stupid enough to pit their head against a supreme-grade immortal artifact.
Now, with their better artifacts confiscated by Ao Hong, what could they possibly use to fight?
Thus, the demon beasts didn’t act rashly.
Shui Miao, clever and astute, immediately saw through their thoughts and sneered loudly, “The mighty Immortal Emperor, the leader of the demon beast clan, actually hides behind others, confiscates their treasures to save himself, and then sends his unarmed subordinates to sacrifice their lives to protect him. You, the Immortal Emperor, are truly unprecedented and unparalleled. I know the demon beast clan values honor above all, fearless and righteous divine beasts, but today, with an Ao Hong like you, you’ve utterly disgraced the demon beast clan. Even I, an outsider, blush for you. How dare you lead them, you selfish, self-centered wretch? If you have the guts, step forward and face me one-on-one.”
Shui Miao’s words were filled with unyielding dominance and valor.
In contrast, Ao Hong appeared despicable and lowly, earning everyone’s disdain.
Indeed, Shui Miao’s words resonated with the demon beasts, who scattered, leaving Ao Hong and Shui Miao to face each other in a one-on-one duel.
“You little brat, who do you think you are? Just because you have a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts, you dare to challenge me? I was careless before and got ambushed by you, but now you dare to boast and challenge me? You’re seeking death!” Ao Hong, with no way out, fully activated his Emperor’s Qi, ready to attack Shui Miao at any moment.
This Ao Hong seems quite clumsy with his words! Shui Miao sneered again, “What if I have supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I forged them myself. And you? You’re an Immortal Emperor, a being supposed to stand above all, commanding subordinates, a super powerhouse shaking the heavens. But you act like a pitiful wretch, even lusting after a crane for dual cultivation. I’m truly ashamed for you. How does a third-rate, insignificant dragon like you deserve to speak to me?”
Shui Miao suddenly realized his verbal skills were quite sharp!
“You, you, you’re asking for death!”
Ao Hong, furious and humiliated, immediately activated five flying swords, directly aiming to kill Shui Miao.
“Shameless! An Immortal Emperor resorting to sneak attacks!”
Shui Miao didn’t miss any chance to mock and belittle Ao Hong, while simultaneously activating the Time Pearl, dodging the flying swords, and appearing at Ao Hong’s side. He then unleashed a Fire Dragon Blast, instantly destroying several of Ao Hong’s defensive artifacts. Before Ao Hong could fully react, Shui Miao swung his Ghost Head Blade wildly, shredding Ao Hong’s clothes, leaving him in a sorry state.
“Haha! And you dare to call yourself the leader of the demon beasts?” Shui Miao laughed loudly, returning to his original spot, grabbing the five flying swords, and throwing them towards the demon beasts, “Whose immortal artifacts are these? Take them back now!”
Inspired by Shui Miao, the demon beasts scrambled to retrieve their artifacts.
Without waiting for Ao Hong to speak, Shui Miao activated the Time Pearl again, launching another Fire Dragon Blast at Ao Hong, followed by relentless slashes!
Several more of Ao Hong’s defensive artifacts were destroyed.
Shui Miao’s Ghost Head Blade also damaged several defensive artifacts with its fierce strikes.
※※※
Despite having defensive artifacts and several top-grade immortal artifacts, Ao Hong was utterly defenseless against Shui Miao’s attacks.
Shui Miao’s speed was terrifyingly fast, leaving the demon beasts trembling with fear, and even Crane was stunned.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s combination of lightning attacks and fierce slashes with the Ghost Head Blade was perfectly executed, blending magical and physical attacks. With inferior artifacts, how could Ao Hong possibly withstand such an assault?
Even more terrifying was that while Shui Miao was unleashing a storm of attacks on Ao Hong, he was also waging psychological warfare, swaying the thoughts of the crowd, successfully isolating Ao Hong from the demon beast clan, making them look down on him, unwilling to side with him, all eager to reclaim their artifacts, none considering whether to help him.
“Despicable!”
“Shui Miao, I will remember today’s humiliation, and I will return for you! When that time comes, it will be your death!”
In despair, Ao Hong decided to flee before his last defensive artifact was destroyed. If he didn’t escape now, he might never get another chance.
Immediately, Ao Hong began to channel his energy, preparing to use an escape technique.
“Thinking of escaping? Not so easy!”
With a swift thought, Shui Miao accelerated his attacks, pushing his speed to the limit.
“Shui Miao, I’ll help you…”
Suddenly, Crane spoke up.
Crane fully activated her spiritual power, infiltrating Ao Hong’s mind, blocking his escape.
“Ao Hong, return my top-grade immortal artifact!”
“And my defensive artifact…”
“He’s a disgrace to our demon beast clan, stop him, kill him!”
Several Immortal Elders, seeing Ao Hong’s downfall, actually turned to attack him.
Poor Ao Hong had fallen to such a state!
“Boom!”
Under the Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong’s last defensive artifact was destroyed.
His thoughts were interrupted by Crane, preventing him from using the escape technique.
If he were hit by another Fire Dragon Blast, his energy would become numb, unable to be activated, leading to a vicious cycle, ultimately being worn down to death by Shui Miao.
“I’ll fight you to the death!”
In desperation, to escape before Shui Miao could launch another Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong, relying on his robust immortal body, suddenly detonated several top-grade immortal artifacts around him!
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“…”
The massive shockwaves from the artifact explosions swept everyone away.
Several weaker demon beasts were killed on the spot.
Shui Miao, protected by his supreme-grade defensive pearl, was unharmed, merely blown back several dozen meters.
Seeing the severe injuries inflicted, Ao Hong didn’t flee immediately but instead flew towards Crane, who had also been blown away.
He intended to capture Crane, forcing her into dual cultivation to enhance his power!
“Boom!”
Crane, possessing a spatial artifact, inspired by Ao Hong’s artifact explosion, also detonated her spatial artifact.
The explosion of the spatial artifact was relatively mild.
But precisely because of this explosion, it delayed Ao Hong’s timing.
“Ao Hong, you had your chance to escape, now you’re doomed!”
Shui Miao had already returned, launching a Fire Dragon Blast, the dragon’s roar resounding, striking Ao Hong’s head squarely!
Ao Hong’s heart sank; it was over!
“Everyone, attack!”
“Kill the Immortal Emperor, obtain his essence, it will greatly benefit our cultivation.”
“This opportunity is once in a millennium; missing it would be a lifelong regret.”
With a successful strike, Shui Miao, fearing Ao Hong might self-destruct and harm Crane, retreated, holding Crane by the waist, directly teleporting her into the Time Tower, and himself flying to the side.
“Shui Miao, where is this? What are you doing?”
Suddenly inside the Time Tower, Crane was a bit confused.
Shui Miao’s voice echoed within the Time Tower, “This is inside one of my artifacts. Ao Hong might resort to self-destruction, so it’s safer for you to be here.”
Even in such a situation, she’s still considering my safety?
Realizing Shui Miao was protecting her, Crane felt a sweet warmth, so comforting, so blissful.
“By the way, Shui Miao, since Ao Hong is almost done for, why did you let the demon beasts deal with him? After all, the Immortal Emperor’s body is a treasure beyond measure.” Crane quickly asked, her thoughts racing.
“Ao Hong’s body is comparable to a supreme-grade immortal artifact. With my current strength and the artifacts I have, killing him is impossible; I can only temporarily trap him.” Shui Miao watched from afar as the demon beasts attacked Ao Hong, suddenly having an idea, multitasking, the refining furnace inside the Time Tower automatically began to smelt the Nuwa Stone, “In this situation, I only have one last method to try.”
“What, what method?” Crane eagerly inquired.
“You’ll know when the time comes.”
Watching the pitiful Ao Hong being beaten by the demon beasts, Shui Miao thought to himself, “I’ll use the Nuwa Stone to forge an immortal artifact, even if it’s just a very thin embroidery needle, then use Ao Hong’s blood to quench it, perhaps I can refine a supreme artifact. Then, I won’t believe I can’t kill this Ao Hong?”
The Nuwa Stone is difficult to smelt, taking a long time to produce even a small amount of material.
But using this small amount of material to forge a needle is still possible.
However, embedding a formation within a needle is an extremely difficult task.
He instantly activated more than thirty protective magical artifacts, forming a clearly visible light shield around his body.
“You little brat, you only have a couple of supreme-grade immortal artifacts, right? I don’t believe that with so many of us, we can’t take you down! Everyone, attack together and kill him! Kill him!” Ao Hong, since escaping from the Sacred Demon Mountain and gathering with a large number of demon beasts, had collected all their magical treasures and kept them on himself as a precaution.
He instantly activated over thirty protective artifacts, forming a visible shield of light around his body.
He also possessed dozens of top-tier immortal artifacts and various magical treasures.
Ao Hong had actually noticed that Shui Miao’s cultivation level wasn’t particularly impressive; he merely relied on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts.
Now, in this open space, with his subordinates by his side, armed with magical treasures, and having consumed numerous elixirs to restore half of his cultivation, Ao Hong didn’t believe he couldn’t defeat Shui Miao under these circumstances.
Indeed, Ao Hong’s subordinates were all formidable.
The tens of thousands of demon beasts that had attacked the Sacred Demon Mountain hadn’t suffered many losses. Most of the demon beasts Ao Hong kept by his side were at the level of Immortal Lords and Immortal Elders, the absolute elite of the demon beast race.
“…”
The demon beasts didn’t move. They exchanged glances, seemingly somewhat intimidated.
They couldn’t gauge the cultivation level of the person before them, and the fact that this person had forced Ao Hong to retreat several steps indicated that he was no ordinary individual.
It turned out that demon beasts weren’t all mindless killing machines.
Moreover, Ao Hong himself had mentioned that Shui Miao possessed two supreme-grade immortal artifacts. Everyone knew the immense power of such artifacts. No matter how foolish, no one would be stupid enough to pit their head against a supreme-grade immortal artifact.
Now, all the decent immortal artifacts they had were confiscated by Ao Hong.
Unarmed, what could they possibly use to fight?
Thus, the demon beasts refrained from acting rashly.
Shui Miao, clever and astute, immediately saw through their thoughts and sneered loudly, “The mighty Immortal Emperor, the leader of the demon beast race, actually hides behind his subordinates, confiscates their treasures to save himself, and then sends them unarmed to sacrifice their lives for you. You’re truly a unique Immortal Emperor, unprecedented and unparalleled. I know the demon beast race values honor, fears no death, and is filled with righteous and heroic beasts. Yet today, we have you, Ao Hong, who has utterly disgraced the demon beast race. Even I, an outsider, feel ashamed for you. What right do you have to lead them? You’re nothing but a selfish, pitiful worm, only concerned with yourself. If you have the guts, step forward and face me one-on-one.”
Shui Miao’s words were filled with dominance and heroism.
In contrast, Ao Hong appeared despicable and lowly, earning everyone’s disdain.
Indeed, Shui Miao’s speech resonated with the demon beasts, who scattered, leaving Ao Hong and Shui Miao to face each other alone.
“You little brat, who do you think you are? You’re just relying on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts! I was careless and got ambushed by you earlier, but now you dare to challenge me to a duel? You’re asking for death!” Ao Hong, with no way out, channeled his full emperor’s aura, ready to attack Shui Miao at any moment.
Ao Hong’s tongue seems quite clumsy! Shui Miao sneered again, “So what if I have supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I forged them myself. And you? You’re an Immortal Emperor, a being who should stand above all, commanding subordinates and shaking the heavens. Yet you act like a pitiful worm, even lusting after a dual cultivation with He’er. I’m truly embarrassed for you. How does a third-rate, insignificant dragon like you even deserve to speak to me?”
Shui Miao suddenly realized that his verbal skills were quite sharp!
“You, you’re asking for death!”
Enraged, Ao Hong immediately summoned five flying swords, aiming to strike Shui Miao.
“Shameless! An Immortal Emperor resorting to sneak attacks!”
Shui Miao didn’t miss any opportunity to mock and belittle Ao Hong. At the same time, he activated the Time Pearl, swiftly dodging the flying swords and appearing at Ao Hong’s side. He then unleashed the Fire Dragon Blast, instantly destroying several of Ao Hong’s protective artifacts. Before Ao Hong could fully react, Shui Miao swung his Ghost Head Blade, slashing Ao Hong’s clothes into tatters, leaving him in a miserable state.
“Haha! And you dare call yourself the leader of the demon beasts?” Shui Miao laughed loudly, returning to his original position. He grabbed the five flying swords and threw them toward the demon beasts, “Whose immortal artifacts are these? Why aren’t you taking them back?”
Inspired by Shui Miao, the demon beasts scrambled to retrieve their artifacts.
Without waiting for Ao Hong to speak, Shui Miao activated the Time Pearl again, launching another Fire Dragon Blast and slashing fiercely!
Several more of Ao Hong’s protective artifacts were destroyed.
Shui Miao’s Ghost Head Blade also shattered several protective artifacts with its relentless strikes.
※※※
Despite having protective artifacts and several top-tier immortal artifacts, Ao Hong was completely overwhelmed by Shui Miao’s attacks.
Shui Miao’s speed was simply too fast, leaving the demon beasts trembling with fear and He’er wide-eyed in shock.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s combination of lightning attacks and the Ghost Head Blade’s slashes was perfectly executed, blending magical and physical attacks. With their inferior artifacts, how could they possibly withstand such an assault?
Even more terrifying was that while Shui Miao unleashed a storm of attacks on Ao Hong, he also waged psychological warfare, manipulating the thoughts of the crowd. He successfully isolated Ao Hong from the demon beast race, making them look down on him and unwilling to stand by his side. Everyone was focused on retrieving their own artifacts, with no one considering whether to help Ao Hong.
“Damn it!”
“Shui Miao, I’ll remember today’s humiliation. I’ll come back for you! When that day comes, it will be your death!”
In despair, Ao Hong decided to flee before his last protective artifact was destroyed. If he didn’t escape now, he might never get another chance.
Immediately, Ao Hong channeled his energy, preparing to use an escape technique.
“Trying to run? Not so easy!”
Thinking quickly, Shui Miao accelerated his attacks, pushing his speed to the limit.
“Shui Miao, I’ll help you…”
Suddenly, He’er spoke up.
He’er fully activated her spiritual power, infiltrating Ao Hong’s mind to block his escape.
“Ao Hong, return my top-tier immortal artifact!”
“And my protective artifact…”
“He’s a disgrace to our demon beast race. Stop him, kill him!”
Several Immortal Elders, seeing Ao Hong’s downfall, actually turned to attack him.
Poor Ao Hong had fallen to such a state!
“Boom!”
Under the Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong’s last protective artifact was destroyed.
His thoughts were interrupted by He’er, preventing him from using the escape technique.
If he were hit by another Fire Dragon Blast, his energy would become numb, rendering him unable to channel it, leading to a vicious cycle where he would be slowly worn down and killed by Shui Miao.
“I’ll fight you to the death!”
In desperation, to escape before Shui Miao could launch another Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong, relying on his powerful immortal body, suddenly detonated several top-tier immortal artifacts around him!
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“…”
The massive shockwaves from the artifact explosions swept over everyone, instantly blowing them away.
Several weaker demon beasts were killed on the spot.
Shui Miao, protected by his supreme-grade protective pearl, was unharmed, merely blown back a few dozen meters.
Seeing that he had severely injured the crowd, Ao Hong didn’t flee immediately. Instead, he flew toward He’er, who had also been blown away.
He intended to capture He’er and force her into dual cultivation to enhance his own power!
“Boom!”
He’er, possessing a spatial artifact, inspired by Ao Hong’s artifact explosion, detonated her own spatial artifact.
The explosion of the spatial artifact was relatively weak.
But precisely because of this explosion, it delayed Ao Hong’s advance.
“Ao Hong, you had a chance to escape, but now you’re doomed!”
Shui Miao had already returned, launching the Fire Dragon Blast. The roar of the dragon echoed as the attack struck Ao Hong’s head directly!
Ao Hong’s heart sank—it was over!
“Everyone, attack!”
“Kill the Immortal Emperor! Absorb his aura—it will greatly benefit our cultivation!”
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we miss it, we’ll regret it forever.”
Having successfully struck, Shui Miao, fearing Ao Hong might self-destruct and harm He’er, retreated, holding He’er’s waist and teleporting her into the Time Tower. He then flew to the side.
“Shui Miao, where is this? What are you doing?”
Suddenly finding herself in the Time Tower, He’er was a bit confused.
Shui Miao’s voice echoed within the tower, “This is inside one of my artifacts. Ao Hong might resort to self-destruction, so it’s safer for you to stay here.”
Even in such a situation, she’s still concerned about my safety?
Realizing that Shui Miao was protecting her, He’er felt a sweet warmth and happiness.
“By the way, Shui Miao, since Ao Hong is almost finished, why did you let the demon beasts deal with him? The body of an Immortal Emperor is a priceless treasure,” He’er quickly asked, her thoughts racing.
“Ao Hong’s body is comparable to a supreme-grade immortal artifact. With my current strength and the artifacts I have, it’s impossible for me to kill him. I can only temporarily trap him,” Shui Miao watched from afar as the demon beasts attacked Ao Hong. Suddenly, he split his focus, and the forging furnace inside the Time Tower began to smelt the Nuwa Stone. “In this situation, I only have one last method to try.”
“What method?” He’er eagerly inquired.
“You’ll find out soon.”
Watching the pitiful Ao Hong being beaten by the demon beasts, Shui Miao thought to himself, “I’ll use the Nuwa Stone to forge an immortal artifact, even if it’s just a tiny needle. Then, I’ll temper it with Ao Hong’s blood. Perhaps I can create a supreme artifact. At that point, I won’t believe I can’t kill Ao Hong!”
The Nuwa Stone was difficult to smelt, taking a long time to produce even a small amount of material.
But with that small amount, forging a needle was still possible.
However, embedding a formation within a needle was an extremely challenging task.
“You little brat, you think you’re so great just because you have a couple of supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I don’t believe that with so many of us, we can’t take you down! Everyone, attack together, kill him! Kill him!” Ao Hong, since escaping from the Sacred Demon Mountain and gathering with a large number of demon beasts, had collected all their magical treasures and kept them on himself as a precaution.
He instantly activated over thirty defensive artifacts, forming a visible shield of light around his body.
He also possessed dozens of top-tier immortal artifacts and various magical treasures.
Ao Hong had actually noticed that Shui Miao’s strength and cultivation weren’t that impressive, relying solely on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts.
Now, in this open space, he had his subordinates, his treasures, and had consumed many elixirs, restoring half of his cultivation. He didn’t believe he couldn’t defeat Shui Miao under these circumstances.
Indeed, Ao Hong’s subordinates were all strong.
The tens of thousands of demon beasts that attacked the Sacred Demon Mountain hadn’t suffered many losses. Most of the demon beasts Ao Hong kept by his side were at the level of Immortal Lords and Immortal Elders, the absolute elite of the demon beast race.
“…”
The demon beasts didn’t move, looking at each other, seemingly wary.
They couldn’t sense the cultivation level of the person before them, and this person had even forced Ao Hong to retreat several steps, indicating he was no ordinary individual.
It proved that demon beasts weren’t all mindless killers.
Moreover, Ao Hong himself had mentioned that Shui Miao possessed two supreme-grade immortal artifacts. Everyone knew the immense power of such artifacts. No matter how foolish, no one would be stupid enough to clash head-on with supreme-grade immortal artifacts.
Now, all the decent immortal artifacts they had were taken by Ao Hong.
With bare hands, what could they use to fight?
Thus, the demon beasts didn’t act rashly.
Shui Miao, clever and astute, immediately saw through their thoughts and sneered loudly, “The mighty Immortal Emperor, the leader of the demon beast race, actually hides behind others upon seeing me, taking everyone’s treasures to save himself while letting his unarmed subordinates sacrifice their lives to protect you. You, the Immortal Emperor, are truly unprecedented and unparalleled. I know the demon beast race values honor, fears no death, and are righteous and heroic divine beasts. But today, we have you, Ao Hong, who has brought shame to the entire demon beast race. Even I, an outsider, feel embarrassed for you. What right do you have to lead everyone? You selfish, self-centered wretch, if you have the guts, step forward and face me one-on-one.”
Shui Miao’s words were filled with dominance and heroism.
In contrast, Ao Hong appeared despicable and lowly, earning everyone’s disdain.
Indeed, Shui Miao’s words resonated with the demon beasts, who quickly dispersed, leaving Ao Hong and Shui Miao to face each other in a one-on-one duel.
“You little brat, who do you think you are? You think you’re so great just because you have a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I was careless and got ambushed by you before, but now you dare to challenge me so arrogantly? You’re asking for death!” Ao Hong had no way out. He channeled all his Emperor’s Qi, ready to attack Shui Miao at any moment.
Ao Hong’s mouth seems quite clumsy! Shui Miao sneered again, “So what if I have supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I forged them myself. And you? You’re the Immortal Emperor, a supreme being who should command subordinates and dominate the heavens. But you act like a pitiful wretch, even shamelessly wanting to dual cultivate with He’er. I’m truly ashamed for you. A third-rate, insignificant dragon like you isn’t even worthy of speaking to me.”
Shui Miao suddenly realized that his verbal skills were quite sharp too!
“You, you, you’re asking for death!”
Ao Hong, furious and humiliated, immediately activated five flying swords, directly attacking Shui Miao.
“Shameless! The Immortal Emperor resorts to ambush!”
Shui Miao didn’t miss any opportunity to mock and belittle Ao Hong. At the same time, he activated the Time Pearl, swiftly dodging the flying swords and appearing at Ao Hong’s side. He immediately launched a Fire Dragon Strike, destroying several of Ao Hong’s defensive artifacts. Before Ao Hong could fully react, Shui Miao swung his Ghost Head Blade, slashing Ao Hong’s clothes into tatters, leaving him in a sorry state.
“Haha! And you dare call yourself the leader of the demon beasts?” Shui Miao laughed loudly, returning to his original position. He grabbed the five flying swords and threw them towards the demon beasts, “Whose immortal artifacts are these? Take them now!”
Inspired by Shui Miao, the demon beasts scrambled to retrieve their artifacts.
Without waiting for Ao Hong to speak, Shui Miao activated the Time Pearl again, launching another Fire Dragon Strike and slashing fiercely!
Several more of Ao Hong’s defensive artifacts were destroyed.
Shui Miao’s Ghost Head Blade also damaged several more defensive artifacts.
※※※
Despite having defensive artifacts and several top-tier immortal artifacts, Ao Hong was completely overwhelmed by Shui Miao’s attacks.
Shui Miao’s speed was simply too fast, leaving the demon beasts trembling in fear, and He’er was utterly shocked.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s combination of lightning attacks and fierce slashes with the Ghost Head Blade was perfectly executed, blending magical and physical attacks. With inferior artifacts, how could Ao Hong possibly withstand such an assault?
Even more terrifying was that while Shui Miao was relentlessly attacking Ao Hong, he was also waging psychological warfare, swaying everyone’s thoughts, successfully isolating Ao Hong from the demon beast race, making them look down on him and unwilling to side with him. Everyone was focused on retrieving their artifacts, with no one considering helping him.
“Damn it!”
“Shui Miao, I’ll remember today’s humiliation. I’ll come back for you! And when I do, it will be your death!”
In despair, Ao Hong decided to flee before his last defensive artifact was destroyed. If he didn’t escape now, he might never get another chance.
Immediately, Ao Hong channeled his energy, preparing to use an escape technique.

“And my defensive artifact…”
“He’s a disgrace to our demon beast race. Stop him, kill him!”
Several Immortal Elders, seeing Ao Hong’s downfall, actually turned to attack him.
Poor Ao Hong had fallen to such a state!
“Boom!”
Under the Fire Dragon Strike, Ao Hong’s last artifact was destroyed.
His thoughts were interrupted by He’er, preventing him from using the escape technique.
If he were hit by another Fire Dragon Strike, his energy would become numb, unable to be channeled, leading to a vicious cycle where he would be slowly worn down and killed by Shui Miao.
“I’ll fight you with everything I’ve got!”
In desperation, to escape before Shui Miao launched another Fire Dragon Strike, Ao Hong, relying on his strong immortal body, suddenly caused several of his top-tier immortal artifacts to self-destruct around him!
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“…”
The massive shockwaves from the self-destruction of the artifacts sent everyone flying.
Several weaker demon beasts were killed on the spot.
Shui Miao, protected by his supreme-grade defensive pearl, was unharmed, merely blown back several dozen meters.
Seeing that he had severely injured everyone, Ao Hong didn’t flee immediately. Instead, he flew towards He’er, who had also been blown away.
He intended to capture He’er, forcing her to dual cultivate with him to enhance his power!
“Boom!”
He’er possessed a spatial artifact. Inspired by Ao Hong’s self-destruction, she also self-destructed her spatial artifact.
The self-destruction of the spatial artifact was relatively mild.
But precisely because of this, it delayed Ao Hong.
“Ao Hong, you had your chance to escape. Now you’re done for!”
Shui Miao had already returned, launching the Fire Dragon Strike. The roar of the dragon was deafening, and it struck Ao Hong’s head directly!
Ao Hong’s heart sank. It was over!
“Everyone, attack!”
“Kill the Immortal Emperor, obtain his aura. It will greatly benefit our cultivation.”
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we miss it, we’ll regret it forever.”
Shui Miao, having succeeded, worried that Ao Hong might self-destruct and harm He’er, retreated instead, holding He’er’s waist and teleporting her into the Time Tower, while he himself flew to the side.
“Shui Miao, where is this? What are you doing?”
Suddenly inside the Time Tower, He’er was a bit confused.
Shui Miao’s voice echoed within the tower, “This is inside one of my artifacts. Ao Hong might go all out and self-destruct his demon body, so it’s best for you to hide here.”
Even in such a situation, she’s still thinking about my safety?
Realizing that Shui Miao was protecting her, He’er felt a sweet warmth, a sense of happiness.
“By the way, Shui Miao, since Ao Hong is almost done for, why are you letting the demon beasts deal with him? You know, the Immortal Emperor’s demon body is an invaluable treasure,” He’er quickly asked, her thoughts racing.
“Ao Hong’s demon body is comparable to a supreme-grade immortal artifact. With my current strength and the artifacts I have, it’s impossible for me to kill him. I can only temporarily trap him,” Shui Miao watched from afar as the demon beasts attacked Ao Hong. Suddenly, he had an idea, multitasking, the forging furnace inside the Time Tower automatically began to smelt the Nuwa Stone. “In this situation, I can only try one last method.”
“What method?” He’er quickly asked.
“You’ll know when the time comes.”
Watching the pitiful Ao Hong being beaten by the demon beasts, Shui Miao thought to himself, “I’ll use the Nuwa Stone to forge an immortal artifact, even if it’s just a tiny needle. Then, I’ll use Ao Hong’s blood to quench it. Perhaps I can create a supreme artifact. At that point, I won’t believe I can’t kill this Ao Hong.”
The Nuwa Stone was difficult to smelt, taking a long time to produce even a small amount of material.
But with that small amount, forging a needle was still possible.
However, embedding a formation within a needle was an extremely challenging task.
“You little brat, you only have a couple of supreme-grade immortal artifacts, don’t you? I don’t believe that with so many of us, we can’t take you down! Everyone, attack together, kill him! Kill him!” After escaping from the Sacred Demon Mountain and gathering with a large number of demon beasts, Ao Hong collected all the magical treasures from everyone and kept them on himself as a precaution.
He instantly activated over thirty protective artifacts, forming a visible shield of light around his body.
He also possessed dozens of top-grade immortal artifacts and various magical treasures.
Ao Hong had indeed noticed that Shui Miao’s cultivation level wasn’t particularly high, relying solely on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts.

Now, the better immortal artifacts everyone had were confiscated by Ao Hong.
With bare hands, what could they possibly use to fight?
Thus, the demon beasts refrained from acting rashly.
Shui Miao, clever and astute, immediately saw through their thoughts and sneered loudly, “The mighty Immortal Emperor, the leader of the demon beast race, actually hides behind others upon seeing me, confiscates everyone’s treasures to save himself, yet expects his unarmed subordinates to sacrifice their lives to protect him.

You’re asking for death!” Ao Hong, with no way out, fully activated his emperor’s aura, ready to attack Shui Miao at any moment.
Ao Hong’s mouth seems quite clumsy! Shui Miao sneered again, “What if I have supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I crafted them myself. And you? You’re an Immortal Emperor, a supreme being who should lead subordinates and dominate the heavens. Yet, you act like a pitiful worm, even shamelessly wanting to dual cultivate with He’er. I’m truly ashamed for you. How does a third-rate, insignificant dragon like you deserve to speak to me?”
Shui Miao suddenly realized his verbal skills were quite sharp!
“You, you, you’re asking for death!”
Enraged, Ao Hong immediately activated five flying swords, directly attacking Shui Miao.
“Shameless, an Immortal Emperor resorting to sneak attacks!”
Shui Miao didn’t miss any opportunity to mock and belittle Ao Hong, while simultaneously activating the Time Orb, dodging the flying swords, and appearing at Ao Hong’s side, launching a Fire Dragon Strike, instantly destroying several of Ao Hong’s protective artifacts. Before Ao Hong could fully react, Shui Miao swung the Ghost Head Blade wildly, shredding Ao Hong’s clothes, leaving him in a sorry state.
“Haha! How dare you call yourself the leader of the demon beasts?” Shui Miao laughed loudly, returning to his original spot, grabbing the five flying swords, and throwing them towards the demon beasts, “Whose immortal artifacts are these? Take them back now!”
Inspired by Shui Miao, the demon beasts scrambled to retrieve their artifacts.
Without waiting for Ao Hong to speak, Shui Miao activated the Time Orb again, launching another Fire Dragon Strike at Ao Hong, followed by a fierce slash!
Several more of Ao Hong’s protective artifacts were destroyed.
Shui Miao’s Ghost Head Blade slashed fiercely, damaging several more protective artifacts.
※※※
Despite having protective artifacts and several top-grade immortal artifacts, Ao Hong was utterly defenseless against Shui Miao’s attacks.
Shui Miao’s speed was terrifyingly fast, leaving the demon beasts trembling in fear, and He’er wide-eyed in shock.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s combination of lightning attacks and fierce slashes with the Ghost Head Blade was perfectly executed, blending magical and physical attacks. With inferior artifacts, how could Ao Hong possibly withstand such an assault?
Even more terrifying, while relentlessly attacking Ao Hong, Shui Miao also employed psychological warfare, swaying everyone’s thoughts, successfully isolating Ao Hong from the demon beast race, making them look down on him, unwilling to associate with him, all eager to reclaim their artifacts, none considering helping him.
“Despicable!”
“Shui Miao, I will remember today’s humiliation, and I will return for you! That day will be your death!”
In despair, Ao Hong decided to flee before his last protective artifact was destroyed. If he didn’t escape now, he might never get another chance.
Immediately, Ao Hong channeled his energy, preparing to use an escape technique.
“Trying to escape? Not so easy!”
Thinking quickly, Shui Miao accelerated his attacks, pushing his speed to the limit.
“Shui Miao, I’ll help you…”
Suddenly, He’er spoke up.
He’er fully activated her mental power, infiltrating Ao Hong’s thoughts, blocking his escape.
“Ao Hong, return my top-grade immortal artifact!”
“And my protective artifact…”
“He’s a disgrace to our demon beast race, stop him, kill him!”
Several Immortal Elder-level demon beasts, seeing Ao Hong’s downfall, actually turned to attack him.
Poor Ao Hong, reduced to such a state!
“Boom!”
Under the Fire Dragon Strike, Ao Hong’s last protective artifact was destroyed.
His thoughts were interrupted by He’er, preventing him from using the escape technique.
If he were hit by another Fire Dragon Strike, his energy would become numb, unable to be activated, leading to a vicious cycle, ultimately being worn down to death by Shui Miao.
“I’ll fight you to the death!”
In desperation, to escape before Shui Miao launched another Fire Dragon Strike, Ao Hong, relying on his robust immortal body, suddenly caused several top-grade immortal artifacts in his hands to self-destruct around him!
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“…”
The massive shockwaves from the self-destruction of the immortal artifacts instantly sent everyone flying.
Several weaker demon beasts were killed on the spot.
Shui Miao, protected by a supreme-grade protective orb, was unharmed, merely blown back several dozen meters.
Seeing the severe injuries inflicted, Ao Hong, instead of fleeing immediately, flew towards He’er, who had also been blown away.
He intended to capture He’er, forcing her to dual cultivate with him to enhance his cultivation!
“Boom!”
He’er, possessing a spatial artifact, inspired by Ao Hong’s self-destruction of his artifacts, also self-destructed her spatial artifact.
The self-destruction of the spatial artifact was relatively mild.
But precisely because of this self-destruction, it delayed Ao Hong’s time.
“Ao Hong, you had a chance to escape, now you’re doomed!”
Shui Miao had already returned, launching a Fire Dragon Strike, the dragon’s roar resounding, directly hitting Ao Hong’s head!
Ao Hong’s heart sank, it’s over!
“Everyone, attack!”
“Kill the Immortal Emperor, obtain his aura, it will greatly benefit our cultivation.”
“This opportunity is once in a lifetime, missing it would be a lifelong regret.”
Having succeeded in his attack, Shui Miao, fearing Ao Hong might self-destruct and harm He’er, retreated instead, holding He’er’s waist, directly teleporting her into the Time Tower, and himself flying to the side.
“Shui Miao, where is this, what are you doing?”
Suddenly entering the Time Tower, He’er was a bit confused.
Shui Miao’s heart stirred, his voice echoing within the Time Tower, “This is inside one of my artifacts. Ao Hong might self-destruct his demon body, so it’s better for you to hide here.”
Even in such a situation, she’s still considering my safety?
Realizing Shui Miao was protecting her, He’er felt a surge of sweetness, warmth, and happiness.
“By the way, Shui Miao, since Ao Hong is almost done for, why are you still letting the demon beasts deal with him? After all, the Immortal Emperor’s demon body is a priceless treasure.” He’er’s thoughts turned, quickly asking.
“Ao Hong’s demon body is comparable to a supreme-grade immortal artifact. With my current strength and the artifacts I have, it’s impossible to kill him, only temporarily trap him.” Shui Miao watched from afar as the demon beasts attacked Ao Hong, his thoughts suddenly shifting, multitasking, the forging furnace inside the Time Tower automatically began smelting the Nuwa Stone, “In this situation, I can only try one last method.”
“What, what method?” He’er quickly asked.
“You’ll know when the time comes.”
Watching the pitiful Ao Hong being beaten by the demon beasts, Shui Miao thought to himself, “I will use the Nuwa Stone to forge an immortal artifact, even if it’s just a very thin needle, then use Ao Hong’s blood to quench it, perhaps I can create a supreme artifact. Then, I won’t believe I can’t kill this Ao Hong?”
The Nuwa Stone is difficult to smelt, taking a long time to produce even a small amount of material.
But using this small amount of material to forge a needle is still possible.
However, embedding a formation within a needle is an extremely difficult task.
Indeed, Ao Hong’s subordinates were all powerful.
“You little brat, you think just because you have a couple of supreme-grade immortal artifacts, we can’t take you down with all of us here? Everyone, let’s get him! Kill him!” Ao Hong, since escaping from the Sacred Demon Mountain and gathering with a large number of demon beasts, had collected all the magical artifacts from everyone to keep them on himself as a precaution.
He instantly activated over thirty protective artifacts, forming a visible shield of light around his body.
He also possessed dozens of top-grade immortal artifacts and various magical tools.
Ao Hong had indeed noticed that Shui Miao’s cultivation level wasn’t particularly high, relying solely on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts.
Now, in this open space, with his subordinates, magical artifacts, and having consumed many elixirs to restore half of his cultivation, he didn’t believe he couldn’t match Shui Miao.
Indeed, Ao Hong’s subordinates were all formidable.
The tens of thousands of demon beasts that attacked the Sacred Demon Mountain hadn’t suffered many losses, and most of the beasts Ao Hong kept by his side were at the level of Immortal Lords and Immortal Elders, the absolute main force of the demon beast clan.
“…”
The demon beasts didn’t move, looking at each other, seemingly somewhat intimidated.
They couldn’t gauge the cultivation level of the person before them, and the fact that this person had forced Ao Hong to retreat several steps indicated he was no ordinary individual.
It proved that demon beasts weren’t entirely mindless killers.
Moreover, Ao Hong himself had mentioned that Shui Miao possessed two supreme-grade immortal artifacts, whose immense power was well known. No matter how foolish, they wouldn’t be so reckless as to confront supreme-grade artifacts head-on.
Now, with their better magical artifacts confiscated by Ao Hong, they were left unarmed, with nothing to fight with.
Thus, the demon beasts didn’t act rashly.
Shui Miao, clever and astute, saw through their thoughts and sneered loudly, “The mighty Immortal Emperor, leader of the demon beast clan, hides behind others upon seeing me, confiscates everyone’s artifacts for his own protection, yet expects his unarmed subordinates to sacrifice their lives for him. You, the Immortal Emperor, are truly unprecedented. I know the demon beast clan values honor, fears no death, and are righteous and heroic divine beasts, but today, with an Ao Hong like you, you’ve brought shame to the entire clan. As an outsider, I blush for you. What right do you have to lead everyone, you selfish, pitiful creature, only concerned with yourself? If you have the guts, step forward and face me one-on-one.”
Shui Miao’s words were filled with overwhelming dominance and heroism.
In contrast, Ao Hong appeared despicable and lowly, earning everyone’s disdain.
Indeed, Shui Miao’s words resonated with the demon beasts, who scattered, leaving Ao Hong and Shui Miao to face each other alone.
“You little brat, who do you think you are, relying on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I was careless and got ambushed by you before, and now you dare to challenge me here? You’re looking for death!” Ao Hong, with no way out, fully activated his emperor’s aura, ready to attack Shui Miao at any moment.
Ao Hong’s words seemed clumsy! Shui Miao sneered again, “What if I have supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I crafted them myself. And you? You’re the Immortal Emperor, a supreme being meant to lead and dominate the nine heavens. Yet, you act like a pitiful worm, even lusting after a dual cultivation with He’er. I’m ashamed for you. A third-rate, insignificant dragon like you isn’t worthy to speak to me.”
Shui Miao suddenly realized his verbal skills were quite sharp!
“You, you, you’re asking for death!”
Enraged, Ao Hong immediately activated five flying swords, directly attacking Shui Miao.
“Shameless, the Immortal Emperor resorts to sneak attacks!”
Shui Miao didn’t miss any opportunity to mock and belittle Ao Hong, while simultaneously activating the Time Pearl, dodging the flying swords, and appearing at Ao Hong’s side, launching a Fire Dragon Blast, instantly destroying several of Ao Hong’s protective artifacts. Before Ao Hong could fully react, Shui Miao wielded the Ghost Head Blade, wildly slashing, leaving Ao Hong’s clothes in tatters, a pitiful sight.
“Haha! And you dare to call yourself the leader of the demon beasts?” Shui Miao laughed loudly, returning to his original spot, grabbing the five flying swords, and throwing them towards the demon beasts, “Whose artifacts are these? Take them back now!”
Inspired by Shui Miao, the demon beasts scrambled to retrieve their artifacts.
Without waiting for Ao Hong to speak, Shui Miao activated the Time Pearl again, launching another Fire Dragon Blast at Ao Hong, slashing fiercely once more!
Several more of Ao Hong’s protective artifacts were destroyed.
Shui Miao’s Ghost Head Blade slashed wildly, damaging several more protective artifacts.

Even more terrifying, while Shui Miao launched a relentless assault on Ao Hong, he also employed psychological warfare, swaying the thoughts of the crowd, successfully isolating Ao Hong from the demon beast clan, making them look down on him, unwilling to associate with him, all eager to reclaim their artifacts, none considering helping him.
“Despicable!”
“Shui Miao, I will remember today’s humiliation, and I will return for you! That day will be your death!”

“He’s a disgrace to our demon beast clan, stop him, kill him!”
Several Immortal Elders, seeing Ao Hong’s downfall, actually turned to attack him.
Poor Ao Hong, reduced to such a state!
“Boom!”
Under the Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong’s last protective artifact was destroyed.
His thoughts disrupted by He’er, he failed to execute the escape technique.
If hit by another Fire Dragon Blast, his energy would become numb, unable to activate, leading to a vicious cycle, ultimately being worn down to death by Shui Miao.
“I’ll fight you to the death!”
In desperation, to escape before Shui Miao launched another Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong, relying on his robust immortal body, suddenly detonated several top-grade immortal artifacts around him!
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“…”
The massive shockwaves from the artifact explosions instantly sent everyone flying.
Several weaker demon beasts were killed on the spot.
Shui Miao, protected by a supreme-grade protective pearl, was unharmed, merely blown back several dozen meters.
Seizing the opportunity, Ao Hong, instead of fleeing immediately, flew towards He’er, who had also been blown away.
He intended to capture He’er, forcing her into dual cultivation to enhance his power!
“Boom!”
He’er, possessing a spatial artifact, inspired by Ao Hong’s artifact explosion, detonated her spatial artifact.
The explosion of the spatial artifact was relatively mild.
But precisely because of this explosion, it delayed Ao Hong.
“Ao Hong, you had your chance to escape, now you’re doomed!”
Shui Miao had already returned, launching a Fire Dragon Blast, the dragon’s roar resounding, striking Ao Hong’s head directly!
Ao Hong’s heart sank, it was over!
“Everyone, attack!”
“Kill the Immortal Emperor, absorb his aura, it will greatly benefit our cultivation.”
“This opportunity is once in a lifetime, missing it would be a lifelong regret.”
Shui Miao, having struck successfully, worried Ao Hong might self-destruct, harming He’er, instead retreated, holding He’er’s waist, directly transporting her into the Time Tower, and himself flying to the side.
“Shui Miao, where is this, what are you doing?”
Suddenly entering the Time Tower, He’er was a bit confused.

“…”
“You little brat, you think you’re so great just because you have a couple of supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I don’t believe that with so many of us, we can’t take you down! Everyone, charge! Kill him! Kill him!” Ao Hong, since escaping from the Sacred Demon Mountain and gathering with a large number of demon beasts, had collected all the magical treasures from everyone and kept them on himself as a precaution.
He instantly activated over thirty defensive treasures, forming a visible shield of light around his body.
He also possessed dozens of top-grade immortal artifacts and various magical treasures.
Ao Hong had actually realized that Shui Miao’s strength and cultivation weren’t that impressive; he merely relied on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts.
Now, in this open space, with his subordinates, his treasures, and having consumed many elixirs to restore half of his cultivation, he didn’t believe he couldn’t defeat Shui Miao under these circumstances.
Indeed, Ao Hong’s subordinates were all strong.
The tens of thousands of demon beasts that attacked the Sacred Demon Mountain hadn’t suffered many losses. Most of the demon beasts Ao Hong kept by his side were at the level of Immortal Lords and Immortal Elders, the absolute elite of the demon beast clan.
“…”
The demon beasts didn’t move, glancing at each other, seemingly wary.
They couldn’t gauge the strength and cultivation of the person before them, and the fact that this person had forced Ao Hong to retreat several steps indicated he was no ordinary individual.
It proved that demon beasts weren’t all mindless brutes.
Moreover, Ao Hong himself had mentioned that Shui Miao possessed two supreme-grade immortal artifacts, whose immense power was well-known. No matter how foolish, no one would be stupid enough to pit their head against a supreme-grade immortal artifact.
Now, with their better magical treasures confiscated by Ao Hong, they were left empty-handed. What could they possibly use to fight?
Thus, the demon beasts didn’t act rashly.
Shui Miao, clever and astute, saw through their thoughts and sneered loudly, “The mighty Immortal Emperor, the leader of the demon beast clan, actually hides behind others upon seeing me, confiscates everyone’s treasures to save himself, yet expects his unarmed subordinates to sacrifice their lives to protect him.

“Everyone, attack!”
“Kill the Immortal Emperor, obtain his essence. It will greatly benefit our cultivation.”
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we miss it, we’ll regret it forever.”
Shui Miao, having succeeded, worried that Ao Hong might self-destruct and harm He’er, retreated, holding He’er’s waist, and moved her into the Time Tower, then flew aside.

It proved that demon beasts weren’t all mindless killing machines.
Moreover, Ao Hong himself had mentioned that Shui Miao possessed two supreme-grade immortal artifacts. The power of supreme-grade immortal artifacts was immense, and everyone knew that. No matter how foolish, one wouldn’t be so stupid as to pit their head against a supreme-grade immortal artifact.
Now, all the decent immortal artifacts everyone had were taken by Ao Hong.
With bare hands, what could they use to fight?
Thus, the demon beasts didn’t act rashly.
Shui Miao, clever and astute, saw through everyone’s thoughts at a glance and sneered loudly, “The great Immortal Emperor, the leader of the demon beast clan, actually hides behind others upon seeing me, collects everyone’s magical treasures to save himself, yet lets unarmed individuals sacrifice their lives to protect you. You, the Immortal Emperor, are truly unprecedented and unparalleled. I know the demon beast clan values honor, fears not death, and is filled with righteous and heroic divine beasts.

Ao Hong’s mouth seems quite clumsy! Shui Miao sneered again, “So what if I have supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I forged them myself. And you? You’re still the Immortal Emperor. What is an Immortal Emperor? A supreme being who stands above all, capable of leading subordinates and dominating the heavens. But you act like a pitiful wretch, even shamelessly wanting to dual cultivate with He’er. I’m truly ashamed for you. A third-rate, insignificant dragon like you isn’t even worthy of speaking to me.”
Shui Miao suddenly realized that his verbal skills were quite sharp!
“You, you, you’re asking for death!”
Ao Hong, furious with humiliation, immediately activated five flying swords, directly attacking Shui Miao.
“Shameless! The Immortal Emperor resorts to sneak attacks!”
Shui Miao didn’t miss any opportunity to mock and belittle Ao Hong, while simultaneously activating the Time Pearl, dodging the flying swords, and appearing at Ao Hong’s side. He immediately launched a Fire Dragon Blast, destroying several of Ao Hong’s defensive artifacts. Before Ao Hong could fully react, Shui Miao swung his Ghost Head Blade, slashing Ao Hong’s clothes into tatters, leaving him in a sorry state.
“Haha! And you have the nerve to be the leader of the demon beasts?” Shui Miao laughed loudly, returning to his original position, grabbing the five flying swords, and throwing them towards the demon beasts, “Whose immortal artifacts are these? Take them now!”
Inspired by Shui Miao, the demon beasts scrambled to retrieve their own immortal artifacts.
Without waiting for Ao Hong to speak, Shui Miao activated the Time Pearl again, launching another Fire Dragon Blast at Ao Hong, followed by another fierce slash!
Several more of Ao Hong’s defensive artifacts were destroyed.
Shui Miao’s Ghost Head Blade slashed through several more defensive artifacts.
※※※
Despite having defensive artifacts and several top-grade immortal artifacts, Ao Hong was utterly defenseless against Shui Miao’s attacks.
Shui Miao’s speed was simply too fast, leaving the demon beasts trembling with fear, and He’er was also dumbfounded.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s combination of lightning attacks and fierce slashes with the Ghost Head Blade was perfectly executed, blending magical and physical attacks. With inferior artifacts, how could Ao Hong possibly defend?
Even more terrifying was that while Shui Miao launched a relentless assault on Ao Hong, he also employed psychological warfare, swaying everyone’s thoughts, successfully isolating Ao Hong from the demon beast clan, making them look down on him and unwilling to side with him. Everyone was focused on retrieving their own magical treasures, with no one thinking of helping him.
“Despicable!”
“Shui Miao, I will remember today’s humiliation. I will return for you! When that time comes, it will be your death!”
In despair, Ao Hong decided to flee before his last defensive artifact was destroyed. If he didn’t escape now, he might never get another chance.
Immediately, Ao Hong channeled his energy, preparing to use an escape technique.
“Trying to escape? Not so easy!”
Quickly thinking, Shui Miao accelerated his attacks, pushing his speed to the limit.
“Shui Miao, I’ll help you…”
Suddenly, He’er spoke up.
He’er fully activated her mental energy, infiltrating Ao Hong’s thoughts, blocking his escape.
“Ao Hong, return my top-grade immortal artifact!”
“And my defensive artifact…”
“He is the disgrace of our demon beast clan. Stop him, kill him!”
Several Immortal Elders, seeing Ao Hong’s downfall, actually turned to attack him.
Poor Ao Hong had fallen to such a state!
“Boom!”
Under the Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong’s last defensive artifact was destroyed.
His thoughts were interrupted by He’er, preventing him from using the escape technique.
If he were hit by another Fire Dragon Blast, his energy would become numb, unable to activate, leading to a vicious cycle, and he would eventually be worn down to death by Shui Miao.
“I’ll fight you all!”
In desperation, to escape before Shui Miao launched another Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong, relying on his powerful immortal body, suddenly detonated several top-grade immortal artifacts around him!
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“…”
The massive shockwaves from the artifact explosions instantly sent everyone flying.
Several weaker demon beasts were killed on the spot.
Shui Miao, protected by his supreme-grade defensive pearl, was unharmed, only being blown back several dozen meters.
Seeing the severe injuries inflicted on everyone, Ao Hong didn’t flee immediately but instead flew towards He’er, who had also been blown away.
He intended to capture He’er, forcing her to dual cultivate with him to enhance his cultivation!
“Boom!”
He’er, possessing a spatial artifact, inspired by Ao Hong’s artifact explosion, also detonated her spatial artifact.
The explosion of the spatial artifact was relatively mild.
But precisely because of this explosion, it delayed Ao Hong’s timing.
“Ao Hong, you had the chance to escape, now you’re doomed!”
Shui Miao had already returned, launching the Fire Dragon Blast, the dragon’s roar resounding, hitting Ao Hong’s head squarely!
Ao Hong’s heart sank, it was over!
“Everyone, attack!”
“Kill the Immortal Emperor, obtain his aura, it will greatly benefit our cultivation.”
“This opportunity is once in a lifetime. If we miss it, we’ll regret it forever.”
Shui Miao, having succeeded, worried that Ao Hong might self-destruct and harm He’er, retreated instead, holding He’er’s waist, directly moving her into the Time Tower, and himself flying to the side.
“Shui Miao, where is this? What are you doing?”
Suddenly entering the Time Tower, He’er was a bit confused.
Shui Miao’s voice echoed in the Time Tower, “This is inside one of my artifacts. Ao Hong might self-destruct, so it’s better for you to hide here.”
Even in such a situation, she’s still considering my safety?
Learning that Shui Miao was protecting her, He’er felt a sweet warmth, a sense of happiness.
“By the way, Shui Miao, since Ao Hong is almost done for, why are you letting the demon beasts deal with him? You know, the Immortal Emperor’s body is a priceless treasure.” He’er quickly asked.
“Ao Hong’s body is comparable to a supreme-grade immortal artifact. With my current strength and artifacts, it’s impossible to kill him, only to temporarily trap him.” Shui Miao watched from afar as the demon beasts attacked Ao Hong, suddenly thinking of something, multitasking, the forging furnace inside the Time Tower automatically began to smelt the Nuwa Stone, “In this situation, I only have one last method to try.”
“What, what method?” He’er quickly asked.
“You’ll know when the time comes.”
Watching the pitiful Ao Hong being beaten by the demon beasts, Shui Miao thought to himself, “I’ll use the Nuwa Stone to forge an immortal artifact, even if it’s just a tiny needle, then use Ao Hong’s blood to quench it. Perhaps I can create a supreme artifact. Then, I won’t believe I can’t kill this Ao Hong.”
The Nuwa Stone is difficult to smelt, taking a long time to produce even a small amount of material.
But using this small amount of material to forge a needle is still possible.
However, embedding a formation within a needle is an extremely difficult task.
“You little brat, you think you’re so tough just because you have a couple of supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I don’t believe that with so many of us, we can’t take you down! Everyone, attack together and kill him! Kill him!” Ao Hong, after escaping from the Sacred Demon Mountain and gathering with a large number of demon beasts, had collected all the magical treasures from everyone and kept them on himself as a precaution.
He instantly activated over thirty protective artifacts, forming a visible shield of light around his body.
He also possessed dozens of top-grade immortal artifacts and various magical treasures.
Ao Hong had actually realized that Shui Miao’s strength and cultivation were not that impressive, relying solely on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts.
Now, in this open space, he had helpers, magical treasures, and had consumed many elixirs, restoring half of his cultivation. He didn’t believe that under such circumstances, he couldn’t defeat Shui Miao.
Indeed, Ao Hong’s subordinates were all strong.
The tens of thousands of demon beast army that attacked the Sacred Demon Mountain had not suffered many losses. Most of the demon beasts Ao Hong kept by his side were at the level of Immortal Lords and Immortal Elders, the absolute main force of the demon beast clan.
“…”
The demon beasts didn’t move, looking at each other, seemingly somewhat intimidated.
They couldn’t probe the strength and cultivation of the person before them, and this person had even forced Ao Hong to retreat several steps, indicating that he was definitely not an ordinary person.
It proved that demon beasts weren’t all mindless killers.
Moreover, Ao Hong himself had said that Shui Miao possessed two supreme-grade immortal artifacts, whose immense power was well-known. No matter how foolish, they wouldn’t be foolish enough to pit their heads against supreme-grade immortal artifacts.
Now, the better immortal artifacts they had were all taken by Ao Hong.
Bare-handed, what could they use to fight?
Thus, the demon beasts didn’t act rashly.
Shui Miao, clever and astute, saw through their thoughts at a glance and sneered loudly, “The mighty Immortal Emperor, the leader of the demon beast clan, actually hides behind others upon seeing me, collects everyone’s magical treasures to save himself, yet lets the unarmed sacrifice their lives to protect you. You, the Immortal Emperor, are truly unprecedented and unparalleled. I know the demon beast clan values honor, fears no death, and are righteous divine beasts, but today, you, Ao Hong, have brought great shame to the demon beast clan. Even I, an outsider, blush for you. What right do you have to lead everyone, you selfish, self-centered wretch? If you have the guts, step forward and face me one-on-one.”
Shui Miao’s words were filled with overwhelming dominance and heroism.
In contrast, Ao Hong appeared despicable and lowly, earning everyone’s disdain.
Indeed, Shui Miao’s words resonated with the demon beasts, who scattered, leaving Ao Hong and Shui Miao to face each other one-on-one.
“You little brat, who do you think you are? You’re just relying on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts! I was careless and got ambushed by you earlier, and now you dare to challenge me here? You’re looking for death!” Ao Hong had no way out, he fully activated his emperor’s aura, ready to attack Shui Miao at any moment.
This Ao Hong seems quite clumsy with his words! Shui Miao sneered again, “So what if I have supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I made them myself. And you? You’re still the Immortal Emperor, a supreme being who can command subordinates and dominate the nine heavens. But you act like a pitiful wretch, even shamelessly wanting to dual cultivate with He’er. I’m truly ashamed for you. You, a third-rate, insignificant dragon, are not worthy to speak to me here.”
Shui Miao suddenly realized that his verbal skills were quite sharp too!
“You, you, you’re asking for death!”
Ao Hong, enraged, immediately activated five flying swords, directly attacking Shui Miao.
“Shameless, the Immortal Emperor resorts to sneak attacks!”
Shui Miao didn’t miss any opportunity to mock and belittle Ao Hong, while simultaneously activating the Time Pearl, dodging the flying swords, and appearing at Ao Hong’s side, launching a Fire Dragon Strike, instantly destroying several of Ao Hong’s protective artifacts. Before Ao Hong could fully react, Shui Miao swung the Ghost Head Blade in a frenzy, cutting Ao Hong’s clothes to shreds, leaving him in a sorry state.
“Haha! And you have the nerve to be the leader of the demon beasts?” Shui Miao laughed loudly, returning to his original position, grabbing the five flying swords, and throwing them towards the demon beasts, “Whose immortal artifacts are these? Take them back now!”
Inspired by Shui Miao, the demon beasts scrambled to retrieve their own immortal artifacts.
Without waiting for Ao Hong to speak, Shui Miao activated the Time Pearl again, launching another Fire Dragon Strike at Ao Hong, followed by a fierce slash!
Several more of Ao Hong’s protective artifacts were destroyed.
Shui Miao’s Ghost Head Blade slashed fiercely, damaging several more protective artifacts.
※※※
Although Ao Hong had protective artifacts and several top-grade immortal artifacts, he was completely overwhelmed by Shui Miao’s attacks.
Shui Miao’s speed was simply too fast, leaving the demon beasts trembling in fear, and He’er was also stunned.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s lightning attacks combined with the Ghost Head Blade’s slashes were perfectly executed, with both magical and physical attacks. With their immortal artifacts inferior to Shui Miao’s, how could they possibly withstand?
Even more terrifying was that while Shui Miao launched a storm of attacks on Ao Hong, he was also employing psychological warfare, swaying everyone’s thoughts, successfully isolating Ao Hong from the demon beast clan, making the demon beasts look down on him, unwilling to associate with him, all eager to retrieve their own magical treasures, none thinking to help him.
“Despicable!”
“Shui Miao, I will remember today’s humiliation, I will come back for you! When that time comes, it will be your death!”
In despair, Ao Hong decided to flee before his last protective artifact was destroyed. If he didn’t escape now, he might never get another chance.
Immediately, Ao Hong channeled his energy, preparing to use an escape technique.
“Trying to escape? Not so easy!”
Thinking quickly, Shui Miao increased his attack speed to the maximum.
“Shui Miao, I’ll help you…”
Suddenly, He’er spoke up.
He’er fully activated her mental energy, infiltrating Ao Hong’s thoughts, blocking his escape.
“Ao Hong, return my top-grade immortal artifact!”
“And my protective artifact…”
“He is a disgrace to our demon beast clan, stop him, kill him!”
Several Immortal Elder-level demon beasts, seeing Ao Hong’s downfall, actually came forward to attack him.
Poor Ao Hong, reduced to such a state!
“Boom!”
Under the Fire Dragon Strike, Ao Hong’s last protective artifact was destroyed.
His thoughts were interrupted by He’er, preventing him from using the escape technique.
If he were hit by another Fire Dragon Strike, his energy would become numb, unable to be activated, leading to a vicious cycle, ultimately being worn down to death by Shui Miao.
“I’ll fight you all!”
In desperation, to escape before Shui Miao launched another Fire Dragon Strike, Ao Hong, relying on his strong immortal body, suddenly detonated several top-grade immortal artifacts around him!
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“…”
The super shockwave from the self-destruction of the immortal artifacts swept everyone away.
Several weaker demon beasts were instantly killed.
Shui Miao, protected by a supreme-grade protective pearl, was unharmed, only being blown back several dozen meters.
Seeing that he had severely injured everyone, Ao Hong didn’t flee immediately but instead flew towards He’er, who had also been blown away.
He intended to capture He’er, forcing her to dual cultivate with him to enhance his cultivation!
“Boom!”
He’er, possessing a spatial artifact, inspired by Ao Hong’s self-destruction, also detonated her spatial artifact.
The self-destruction of the spatial artifact was quite ordinary.
But precisely because of this self-destruction, it delayed Ao Hong’s time.
“Ao Hong, you had a chance to escape, now you’re doomed!”
Shui Miao had already returned, launching a Fire Dragon Strike, the dragon’s roar resounding, hitting Ao Hong’s head squarely!
Ao Hong’s heart sank, it’s over!
“Everyone, attack!”
“Kill the Immortal Emperor, obtain his aura, it will greatly benefit our cultivation.”
“This opportunity is once in a lifetime, if missed, we will regret it forever.”
Shui Miao, having succeeded, worried that Ao Hong might self-destruct and harm He’er, instead retreated, holding He’er’s waist, directly moving her into the Time Tower, and himself flying to the side.
“Shui Miao, where is this, what are you doing?”
Suddenly entering the Time Tower, He’er was a bit confused.
Shui Miao’s heart stirred, his voice echoing inside the Time Tower, “This is inside one of my artifacts. Ao Hong might self-destruct his demon body, so it’s better for you to hide here.”
Even in such a situation, she’s still considering my safety?
Realizing that Shui Miao was protecting her, He’er felt a wave of sweetness, warmth, and happiness.
“By the way, Shui Miao, since Ao Hong is almost done for, why did you let the demon beasts deal with him? You know, the Immortal Emperor’s demon body is a priceless treasure.” He’er’s thoughts turned, quickly asking.
“Ao Hong’s demon body is comparable to a supreme-grade immortal artifact. With my current strength and the artifacts I have, it’s impossible to kill him, only to temporarily trap him.” Shui Miao, watching the demon beasts attack Ao Hong from afar, suddenly had an idea, multitasking, the refining furnace inside the Time Tower automatically began to smelt the Nuwa Stone, “In this situation, I only have one last method to try.”
“What, what method?” He’er quickly asked.
“You’ll know when the time comes.”
Looking at the pitiful Ao Hong being beaten by the demon beasts, Shui Miao thought to himself, “I will use the Nuwa Stone to forge an immortal artifact, even if it’s a very thin embroidery needle, then use Ao Hong’s blood to quench it, perhaps I can refine a supreme artifact. Then, I won’t believe I can’t kill this Ao Hong?”
The Nuwa Stone is difficult to smelt, taking a long time to produce even a small amount of material.
But using this small amount of material to forge a needle is still possible.
However, setting up a formation inside a needle is an extremely difficult task.
“You little brat, you only have a couple of supreme-grade immortal artifacts, don’t you? I don’t believe that with so many of us, we can’t take you down! Everyone, charge! Kill him! Kill him!” After escaping from the Sacred Demon Mountain and gathering with a large number of demon beasts, Ao Hong collected all the magical treasures from everyone and kept them on himself as a precaution.
He instantly activated over thirty defensive artifacts, forming a visible shield of light around his body.
He also possessed dozens of top-grade immortal artifacts and various magical treasures.
Ao Hong had actually noticed that Shui Miao’s strength and cultivation weren’t that impressive, relying solely on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts.
Now, in this open space, he had allies, magical treasures, and had consumed many elixirs, restoring half of his cultivation. He didn’t believe that under such circumstances, he couldn’t defeat Shui Miao.
Indeed, Ao Hong’s subordinates were all formidable.
The tens of thousands of demon beasts that attacked the Sacred Demon Mountain hadn’t suffered many losses. Most of the demon beasts Ao Hong kept by his side were at the level of Immortal Lords and Immortal Elders, the absolute elite of the demon beast race.
“…”
The demon beasts didn’t move, glancing at each other, seemingly somewhat apprehensive.
They couldn’t gauge the strength and cultivation of the person before them, and this person had even forced Ao Hong to retreat several steps, indicating that he was definitely not an ordinary individual.
It turned out that demon beasts weren’t all mindless brutes.
Moreover, Ao Hong himself had mentioned that Shui Miao possessed two supreme-grade immortal artifacts. Everyone knew the immense power of such artifacts. No matter how foolish, they wouldn’t be so stupid as to pit their heads against supreme-grade immortal artifacts.
Now, the better immortal artifacts they had were all taken by Ao Hong.
Unarmed, what could they possibly use to fight?
Thus, the demon beasts didn’t act rashly.
Shui Miao, clever and astute, immediately saw through their thoughts and sneered loudly, “The mighty Immortal Emperor, the leader of the demon beast race, actually hides behind others upon seeing me, taking everyone’s magical treasures to save himself while leaving his unarmed subordinates to sacrifice their lives to protect him. You, the Immortal Emperor, are truly unprecedented and unparalleled. I know the demon beast race values honor, fears no death, and are righteous and heroic divine beasts. But today, we have you, Ao Hong, who has utterly disgraced the demon beast race. Even I, an outsider, feel embarrassed for you. What right do you have to lead everyone? You selfish, self-centered wretch, if you have the guts, step forward and face me one-on-one.”
Shui Miao’s words were filled with overwhelming dominance and heroism.
In contrast, Ao Hong appeared despicable and lowly, earning everyone’s disdain.
Indeed, Shui Miao’s words resonated with the demon beasts, who dispersed, allowing Ao Hong and Shui Miao to face off one-on-one.
“You little brat, who do you think you are? You only rely on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts, don’t you? I was careless and got ambushed by you earlier, and now you dare to challenge me to a duel here? You’re just asking for death!” Ao Hong had no way out. He channeled all his Emperor’s Qi, ready to attack Shui Miao at any moment.
Ao Hong’s mouth seemed quite clumsy! Shui Miao sneered again, “So what if I have supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I crafted them myself. And you? You’re an Immortal Emperor. What is an Immortal Emperor? A supreme being who can command subordinates and dominate the heavens. But you act like a pitiful wretch, even shamelessly wanting to dual cultivate with He’er. I’m truly ashamed for you. You, a third-rate, insignificant little dragon, aren’t even worthy of speaking to me here.”
Shui Miao suddenly realized that his verbal skills were quite sharp as well!
“You, you, you’re asking for death!”
Ao Hong, furious, immediately activated five flying swords, directly attacking Shui Miao.
“Shameless! An Immortal Emperor resorting to sneak attacks!”
Shui Miao didn’t miss any opportunity to mock and belittle Ao Hong. At the same time, he activated the Time Orb, his figure flashing, dodging the flying swords, and appeared at Ao Hong’s side. He immediately launched a Fire Dragon Blast, destroying several of Ao Hong’s defensive artifacts in one go. Before Ao Hong could fully react, Shui Miao swung his Ghost Head Blade wildly, cutting Ao Hong’s clothes to shreds, leaving him in a sorry state.
“Haha! And you have the audacity to be the leader of the demon beasts?” Shui Miao laughed loudly, returning to his original position, grabbing the five flying swords, and throwing them towards the demon beasts, “Whose immortal artifacts are these? Take them back now!”
Inspired by Shui Miao, the demon beasts scrambled to retrieve their own immortal artifacts.
Without waiting for Ao Hong to speak, Shui Miao activated the Time Orb again, launching another Fire Dragon Blast at Ao Hong, followed by another fierce slash!
Several more of Ao Hong’s defensive artifacts were destroyed.
Shui Miao’s Ghost Head Blade slashed fiercely, damaging several more defensive artifacts.
※※※
Although Ao Hong had defensive artifacts and several top-grade immortal artifacts, he was utterly defenseless against Shui Miao’s attacks.
Shui Miao’s speed was simply too fast, leaving the demon beasts trembling in fear, and even He’er was left dumbfounded.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s lightning attacks combined with the fierce slashes of the Ghost Head Blade were perfectly executed, blending magical and physical attacks. With their inferior artifacts, how could they possibly withstand such an assault?
Even more terrifying was that while Shui Miao was unleashing a storm of attacks on Ao Hong, he was also waging psychological warfare, manipulating everyone’s thoughts, successfully isolating Ao Hong from the demon beast race, making the demon beasts look down on him and unwilling to ally with him. Everyone was focused on retrieving their own magical treasures, with no one considering whether to help him.
“Despicable!”
“Shui Miao, I will remember today’s humiliation. I will return to find you! When that time comes, it will be your death!”
In desperation, Ao Hong decided to flee before his last defensive artifact was destroyed. If he didn’t escape now, he might never get another chance.
Immediately, Ao Hong channeled his energy, preparing to use an escape technique.
“Trying to escape? Not so easy!”
With a swift thought, Shui Miao accelerated his attacks, pushing his speed to the limit.
“Shui Miao, I’ll help you…”
Suddenly, He’er spoke up.
He’er focused all her mental energy, infiltrating Ao Hong’s thoughts, blocking his escape.
“Ao Hong, return my top-grade immortal artifact!”
“And my defensive artifact…”
“He’s a disgrace to our demon beast race. Stop him, kill him!”
Several Immortal Elder-level demon beasts, seeing Ao Hong’s inevitable downfall, actually turned to attack him.
Poor Ao Hong had fallen to such a state!
“Boom!”
Under the Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong’s last defensive artifact was destroyed.
His thoughts were disrupted by He’er, preventing him from using the escape technique.
If he were hit by another Fire Dragon Blast, his energy would become numb, rendering him unable to channel it, leading to a vicious cycle where he would be slowly worn down and killed by Shui Miao.
“I’ll fight you all!”
In a desperate attempt to escape before Shui Miao launched another Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong, relying on his powerful immortal body, suddenly detonated several top-grade immortal artifacts around him!
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“…”
The shockwaves from the explosion of the immortal artifacts swept through the area, instantly blowing everyone away.
Several weaker demon beasts were killed on the spot.
Shui Miao, protected by his supreme-grade defensive orb, was unharmed, merely blown back several dozen meters.
Seeing the severe injuries inflicted on everyone, Ao Hong didn’t flee immediately. Instead, he flew towards He’er, who had also been blown away.
He intended to capture He’er and force her to dual cultivate with him to enhance his cultivation!
“Boom!”
He’er, possessing a spatial artifact, inspired by Ao Hong’s self-detonation of his immortal artifacts, also detonated her spatial artifact.
The explosion of the spatial artifact was relatively weak.
But precisely because of this explosion, it delayed Ao Hong’s actions.
“Ao Hong, you had a chance to escape, but now you’re doomed!”
Shui Miao had already returned, launching a Fire Dragon Blast. The roar of the dragon echoed, striking Ao Hong’s head directly!
Ao Hong’s heart sank—it was over!
“Everyone, attack!”
“Kill the Immortal Emperor, absorb his essence. It will greatly benefit our cultivation.”
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we miss it, we’ll regret it forever.”
Shui Miao, having succeeded, worried that Ao Hong might self-destruct and harm He’er, retreated instead, holding He’er’s waist and teleporting her into the Time Tower, while he himself flew to the side.
“Shui Miao, where is this? What are you doing?”
Suddenly finding herself in the Time Tower, He’er was a bit confused.
Shui Miao’s voice echoed within the Time Tower, “This is inside one of my artifacts. Ao Hong might resort to self-destruction, so it’s safer for you to hide here.”
Even in such a situation, she was still considering my safety?
Realizing that Shui Miao was protecting her, He’er felt a surge of sweetness, warmth, and happiness.
“By the way, Shui Miao, since Ao Hong is almost done for, why did you let the demon beasts deal with him? You know, the body of an Immortal Emperor is a priceless treasure.” He’er quickly asked, her thoughts racing.
“Ao Hong’s body is comparable to a supreme-grade immortal artifact. With my current strength and the artifacts I have, it’s impossible to kill him. I can only temporarily trap him.” Shui Miao watched from afar as the demon beasts attacked Ao Hong, his mind divided. The forging furnace inside the Time Tower automatically began to smelt the Nuwa Stone. “In this situation, I only have one last method to try.”
“What method?” He’er eagerly inquired.
“You’ll know when the time comes.”
Watching the pitiful Ao Hong being beaten by the demon beasts, Shui Miao thought to himself, “I’ll use the Nuwa Stone to forge an immortal artifact, even if it’s just a tiny needle. Then, I’ll temper it with Ao Hong’s blood. Perhaps I can create a supreme artifact. At that point, I won’t believe I can’t kill this Ao Hong!”
The Nuwa Stone was difficult to smelt, taking a long time to produce even a small amount of material.
But with this small amount of material, forging a needle was still possible.
However, embedding a formation within a needle was an extremely challenging task.
With bare hands, what could they use to fight?
“You little brat, you only have a couple of supreme-grade immortal artifacts, right? I don’t believe that with so many of us, we can’t take you down! Everyone, attack together, kill him! Kill him!” Ao Hong, after escaping from the Sacred Demon Mountain and gathering with a large number of demon beasts, had collected all the magical treasures from everyone and kept them on himself as a precaution.
In an instant, he activated over thirty protective artifacts, forming a visible shield of light around his body.
He also possessed dozens of top-tier immortal artifacts and various magical treasures.
Ao Hong had actually noticed that Shui Miao’s cultivation level wasn’t particularly high; he merely relied on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts.
Now, in this open space, with his subordinates by his side, armed with magical treasures, and having consumed numerous elixirs to restore half of his cultivation, Ao Hong didn’t believe he couldn’t defeat Shui Miao under these circumstances.
Indeed, Ao Hong’s subordinates were all formidable.
The tens of thousands of demon beasts that had attacked the Sacred Demon Mountain hadn’t suffered many losses. Most of the demon beasts Ao Hong had kept by his side were at the level of Immortal Lords and Immortal Elders, the absolute elite of the demon beast race.
“…”
The demon beasts didn’t move. They exchanged glances, seemingly hesitant.
They couldn’t gauge the cultivation level of the person before them, and the fact that this person had forced Ao Hong to retreat several steps indicated that he was no ordinary individual.
It was clear that demon beasts weren’t all mindless brutes.
Moreover, Ao Hong himself had mentioned that Shui Miao possessed two supreme-grade immortal artifacts. Everyone knew the immense power of such artifacts. No matter how foolish one might be, they wouldn’t be foolish enough to pit their head against a supreme-grade immortal artifact.
Now, with their better magical treasures confiscated by Ao Hong, the demon beasts were left unarmed. What could they possibly use to fight?
Thus, the demon beasts refrained from acting rashly.
Shui Miao, clever and astute, immediately saw through their thoughts and sneered loudly, “The mighty Immortal Emperor, the leader of the demon beast race, actually hides behind others when he sees me. You’ve taken everyone’s magical treasures to protect yourself, yet you’re willing to sacrifice the lives of your unarmed subordinates to shield you. You’re truly a one-of-a-kind Immortal Emperor. I know the demon beast race values honor above all, fearless and righteous. But today, we have you, Ao Hong, who has utterly disgraced the demon beast race. Even I, an outsider, feel embarrassed for you. What right do you have to lead them? You’re nothing but a selfish, pitiful worm who only cares about yourself. If you have the guts, step forward and face me one-on-one.”
Shui Miao’s words were filled with dominance and valor.
In contrast, Ao Hong appeared despicable and lowly, earning nothing but disdain.
Indeed, Shui Miao’s words resonated with the demon beasts, who began to disperse, leaving Ao Hong and Shui Miao to face each other in a one-on-one duel.
“You little brat, who do you think you are? You’re just relying on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts! I was careless and got ambushed by you earlier, but now you dare to challenge me so arrogantly? You’re asking for death!” Ao Hong, with no way out, channeled all his Emperor’s Qi, ready to attack Shui Miao at any moment.
Ao Hong’s words seemed clumsy! Shui Miao sneered again, “So what if I have supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I forged them myself. And you? You’re an Immortal Emperor. What is an Immortal Emperor? A supreme being who stands above all, commanding subordinates and shaking the heavens. But you act like a pitiful worm, even shamelessly seeking to dual cultivate with He’er. I’m truly ashamed for you. You, a third-rate, insignificant dragon, aren’t even worthy of speaking to me.”
Shui Miao suddenly realized that his verbal skills were quite sharp as well!
“You, you’re asking for death!”
Ao Hong, furious, immediately summoned five flying swords, aiming to strike Shui Miao.
“Shameless! An Immortal Emperor resorting to sneak attacks!”
Shui Miao didn’t miss any opportunity to mock and belittle Ao Hong. At the same time, he activated the Time Pearl, swiftly dodging the flying swords and appearing at Ao Hong’s side. He then unleashed the Fire Dragon Blast, instantly destroying several of Ao Hong’s protective artifacts. Before Ao Hong could fully react, Shui Miao swung his Ghost Head Blade in a frenzy, shredding Ao Hong’s clothes and leaving him in a miserable state.
“Haha! And you dare call yourself the leader of the demon beasts?” Shui Miao laughed loudly, returning to his original position. He grabbed the five flying swords and threw them toward the demon beasts, “Whose immortal artifacts are these? Take them back now!”
Inspired by Shui Miao, the demon beasts scrambled to retrieve their magical treasures.
Without waiting for Ao Hong to speak, Shui Miao activated the Time Pearl again, launching another Fire Dragon Blast and another round of fierce slashes!
Several more of Ao Hong’s protective artifacts were destroyed.
Shui Miao’s Ghost Head Blade relentlessly hacked away, damaging several more protective artifacts.
※※※
Despite having protective artifacts and several top-tier immortal artifacts, Ao Hong was utterly defenseless against Shui Miao’s attacks.
Shui Miao’s speed was simply too fast, leaving the demon beasts trembling in fear and He’er wide-eyed in astonishment.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s combination of lightning attacks and the Ghost Head Blade’s relentless slashes was perfectly executed. With both magical and physical attacks, and with Ao Hong’s artifacts inferior to Shui Miao’s, how could he possibly defend himself?
Even more terrifying was that while Shui Miao unleashed a storm of attacks on Ao Hong, he was also waging psychological warfare, swaying the thoughts of the demon beasts. He successfully isolated Ao Hong from the demon beast race, making them look down on him and unwilling to stand by his side. Everyone was focused on retrieving their own magical treasures, with no one considering whether to help Ao Hong.
“Damn it!”
“Shui Miao, I’ll remember today’s humiliation. I’ll come back for you! And when I do, it will be your death!”
In desperation, Ao Hong decided to flee before his last protective artifact was destroyed. If he didn’t escape now, he might never get another chance.
Immediately, Ao Hong channeled his energy, preparing to use an escape technique.
“Trying to run? Not so easy!”
Shui Miao, quick to react, increased his attack speed to the maximum.
“Shui Miao, I’ll help you…”
Suddenly, He’er spoke up.
He’er channeled all her spiritual energy, infiltrating Ao Hong’s mind to block his escape.
“Ao Hong, return my top-tier immortal artifact!”
“And my protective artifact…”
“He’s a disgrace to our demon beast race. Stop him, kill him!”
Several Immortal Elders, seeing Ao Hong’s downfall, actually turned to attack him.
Poor Ao Hong had fallen to such a state!
“Boom!”
Under the Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong’s last protective artifact was destroyed.
His thoughts were disrupted by He’er, preventing him from using the escape technique.
If he were hit by another Fire Dragon Blast, his energy would become numb, unable to be channeled, leading to a vicious cycle where he would eventually be worn down and killed by Shui Miao.
“I’ll fight you to the death!”
In a desperate attempt to escape before Shui Miao launched another Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong, relying on his powerful immortal body, suddenly detonated several of his top-tier immortal artifacts around him!
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“…”
The massive shockwaves from the explosion swept over everyone, instantly sending them flying.
Several weaker demon beasts were killed on the spot.
Shui Miao, protected by his supreme-grade protective pearl, was unharmed, merely being blown back several dozen meters.
Seeing that he had severely injured everyone, Ao Hong didn’t flee immediately. Instead, he flew toward He’er, who had also been blown away.
He intended to capture He’er and force her to dual cultivate with him to enhance his cultivation!
“Boom!”
He’er, possessing a spatial artifact, inspired by Ao Hong’s self-detonation, also detonated her spatial artifact.
The explosion of the spatial artifact was relatively weak.
But it was precisely this explosion that delayed Ao Hong.
“Ao Hong, you had the chance to escape, but now you’re doomed!”
Shui Miao had already returned, launching the Fire Dragon Blast. The roar of the dragon echoed as the attack struck Ao Hong’s head directly!
Ao Hong’s heart sank. It was over!
“Everyone, attack!”
“Kill the Immortal Emperor! Obtaining his aura will greatly benefit our cultivation.”
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we miss it, we’ll regret it forever.”
Shui Miao, having succeeded, worried that Ao Hong might self-destruct and harm He’er, retreated instead, holding He’er’s waist and teleporting her into the Time Tower. He then flew to the side.
“Shui Miao, where is this? What are you doing?”
Suddenly finding herself in the Time Tower, He’er was a bit confused.
Shui Miao’s voice echoed within the tower, “This is inside one of my artifacts. Ao Hong might resort to self-destruction, so it’s best for you to hide here.”
Even in such a situation, she’s still thinking about my safety?
Realizing that Shui Miao was protecting her, He’er felt a surge of sweetness, warmth, and happiness.
“By the way, Shui Miao, since Ao Hong is almost done for, why did you let the demon beasts deal with him? You know, the body of an Immortal Emperor is a priceless treasure,” He’er quickly asked, her thoughts racing.
“Ao Hong’s body is comparable to a supreme-grade immortal artifact. With my current strength and the artifacts I have, it’s impossible for me to kill him. I can only temporarily trap him,” Shui Miao watched from afar as the demon beasts attacked Ao Hong. Suddenly, his thoughts shifted, and the forging furnace inside the Time Tower began to smelt the Nuwa Stone. “In this situation, I can only try one last method.”
“What method?” He’er eagerly inquired.
“You’ll know when the time comes.”
Watching the pitiful Ao Hong being beaten by the demon beasts, Shui Miao thought to himself, “I’ll use the Nuwa Stone to forge an immortal artifact, even if it’s just a tiny needle. Then, I’ll use Ao Hong’s blood to quench it. Perhaps I can create a supreme artifact. At that point, I won’t believe I can’t kill this Ao Hong.”
The Nuwa Stone was difficult to smelt, taking a long time to produce even a small amount of material.
But with that small amount, forging a needle was still possible.
However, embedding a formation within a needle was an extremely challenging task.
“You little brat, you think you’re so great just because you have a couple of supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I don’t believe that with so many of us, we can’t take you down! Everyone, let’s go, kill him! Kill him!” Ao Hong, since escaping from the Sacred Demon Mountain and gathering with a large number of demon beasts, had collected all the magical artifacts from everyone to keep them on himself as a precaution.
He instantly activated over thirty defensive artifacts, forming a visible shield of light around his body.
He also possessed dozens of top-grade immortal artifacts and various magical tools.
Ao Hong had actually noticed that Shui Miao’s strength and cultivation weren’t that impressive; he relied solely on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts.
Now, in this open space, with his subordinates, his artifacts, and having consumed many elixirs to restore half of his cultivation, he didn’t believe he couldn’t match Shui Miao under these circumstances.
Indeed, Ao Hong’s subordinates were all strong.
The tens of thousands of demon beasts that attacked the Sacred Demon Mountain didn’t suffer many losses. Most of the demon beasts Ao Hong kept by his side were at the level of Immortal Lords and Immortal Elders, the absolute elite of the demon beast race.
“…”
The demon beasts didn’t move, looking at each other, seemingly somewhat intimidated.
They couldn’t probe the strength and cultivation of the person before them, and the fact that this person had forced Ao Hong to retreat several steps indicated he was no ordinary individual.
It proved that demon beasts weren’t all mindless killers.
Moreover, Ao Hong himself had mentioned that Shui Miao possessed two supreme-grade immortal artifacts, whose immense power was well-known. No matter how foolish, no one would be so stupid as to pit their head against a supreme-grade immortal artifact.
Now, with the better artifacts confiscated by Ao Hong, everyone was left unarmed. What could they possibly use to fight?
Thus, the demon beasts didn’t act rashly.
Shui Miao, clever and astute, saw through everyone’s thoughts and sneered loudly, “The great Immortal Emperor, the leader of the demon beast race, actually hides behind others upon seeing me, confiscates everyone’s artifacts to save himself, yet expects the unarmed to sacrifice their lives to protect you. You, the Immortal Emperor, are truly unprecedented and unparalleled. I know the demon beast race values honor, fears no death, and is filled with righteous spirit. Yet today, we have an Ao Hong, who has utterly disgraced the demon beast race. Even I, an outsider, blush for you. What right do you have to lead everyone, you selfish, self-centered wretch? If you have the guts, step forward and face me one-on-one.”
Shui Miao’s words were filled with dominance and heroism.
In contrast, Ao Hong appeared despicable and lowly, earning everyone’s disdain.
Indeed, Shui Miao’s words resonated with the demon beasts, who scattered, leaving Ao Hong and Shui Miao to face each other alone.
“You little brat, who do you think you are, relying on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I was careless and got ambushed by you before, and now you dare to challenge me here? You’re looking for death!” Ao Hong, with no way out, fully activated his emperor’s aura, ready to attack Shui Miao at any moment.
Ao Hong’s mouth seems quite clumsy! Shui Miao sneered again, “What if I have supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I forged them myself. And you? You’re an Immortal Emperor, a supreme being who should lead subordinates and dominate the heavens. Yet you act like a pitiful wretch, even shamelessly wanting to dual cultivate with He’er. I’m truly ashamed for you. How does a third-rate villain like you deserve to speak to me?”
Shui Miao suddenly realized his verbal skills were quite sharp!
“You, you, you’re asking for death!”
Ao Hong, furious, immediately activated five flying swords, directly attacking Shui Miao.
“Shameless, an Immortal Emperor resorting to sneak attacks!”
Shui Miao didn’t miss any opportunity to mock and belittle Ao Hong, while simultaneously activating the Time Pearl, dodging the flying swords, and appearing at Ao Hong’s side, launching a Fire Dragon Blast, instantly destroying several of Ao Hong’s defensive artifacts. Before Ao Hong could fully react, Shui Miao swung the Ghost Head Blade wildly, cutting Ao Hong’s clothes to shreds, leaving him in a sorry state.
“Haha! And you dare to call yourself the leader of the demon beasts?” Shui Miao laughed loudly, returning to his original spot, grabbing the five flying swords, and throwing them towards the demon beasts, “Whose artifacts are these? Why not take them back now?”
Inspired by Shui Miao, the demon beasts scrambled to retrieve their artifacts.
Without waiting for Ao Hong to speak, Shui Miao activated the Time Pearl again, launching another Fire Dragon Blast at Ao Hong, followed by fierce slashes!
Several more of Ao Hong’s defensive artifacts were destroyed.
Shui Miao’s Ghost Head Blade, with its relentless slashing, also damaged several defensive artifacts.
※※※
Despite having defensive artifacts and several top-grade immortal artifacts, Ao Hong was utterly defenseless against Shui Miao’s attacks.
Shui Miao’s speed was terrifyingly fast, leaving the demon beasts trembling with fear, and He’er wide-eyed in shock.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s combination of lightning attacks and fierce slashes with the Ghost Head Blade was perfectly executed, blending magical and physical attacks. With inferior artifacts, how could Ao Hong possibly defend himself?
Even more terrifying was that while Shui Miao launched a storm of attacks on Ao Hong, he also waged psychological warfare, swaying everyone’s thoughts, successfully isolating Ao Hong from the demon beast race, making them look down on him and unwilling to side with him, all eager to reclaim their artifacts, with no one considering helping him.
“Despicable!”
“Shui Miao, I will remember today’s humiliation, and I will come back for you! That day will be your death!”
In despair, Ao Hong decided to flee before his last defensive artifact was destroyed. If he didn’t escape now, he might never get another chance.
Immediately, Ao Hong channeled his energy, preparing to use an escape technique.
“Thinking of escaping? Not so easy!”
Quickly thinking, Shui Miao accelerated his attack speed, pushing it to the limit.
“Shui Miao, I’ll help you…”
Suddenly, He’er spoke up.
He’er fully activated her mental energy, infiltrating Ao Hong’s thoughts, blocking his escape.
“Ao Hong, return my top-grade immortal artifact!”
“And my defensive artifact…”
“He’s a disgrace to our demon beast race, stop him, kill him!”
Several Immortal Elder-level demon beasts, seeing Ao Hong’s downfall, actually turned to attack him.
Poor Ao Hong had fallen to such a state!
“Boom!”
Under the Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong’s last defensive artifact was destroyed.
His thoughts were interrupted by He’er, preventing him from using the escape technique.
If he were hit by another Fire Dragon Blast, his energy would become numb, unable to activate, leading to a vicious cycle, ultimately being worn down to death by Shui Miao.
“I’ll fight you to the death!”
In desperation, to escape before Shui Miao launched another Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong, relying on his strong immortal body, suddenly caused several top-grade immortal artifacts in his hands to self-destruct around him!
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“…”
The super shockwave from the self-destruction of the artifacts swept everyone away.
Several weaker demon beasts were instantly killed.
Shui Miao, protected by a supreme-grade defensive pearl, was unharmed, merely blown back several dozen meters.
Seeing the severe injuries inflicted, Ao Hong, instead of fleeing immediately, flew towards He’er, who had also been blown away.
He intended to capture He’er, forcing her to dual cultivate with him to enhance his cultivation!
“Boom!”
He’er, possessing a spatial artifact, inspired by Ao Hong’s self-destruction, also self-destructed her spatial artifact.
The self-destruction of the spatial artifact was quite ordinary.
But precisely because of this self-destruction, it delayed Ao Hong’s time.
“Ao Hong, you had a chance to escape, now you’re doomed!”
Shui Miao had already returned, launching the Fire Dragon Blast, the dragon’s roar loud and clear, striking Ao Hong’s head squarely!
Ao Hong’s heart sank, it’s over!
“Everyone, kill him!”
“Kill the Immortal Emperor, obtain his aura, it will greatly benefit our cultivation.”
“This opportunity is once in a millennium; if we miss it, we’ll regret it for life.”
Shui Miao, having succeeded, worried that Ao Hong might self-destruct, harming He’er, instead retreated, holding He’er’s waist, directly moving her into the Time Tower, and himself flying to the side.
“Shui Miao, where is this, what are you doing?”
Suddenly entering the Time Tower, He’er was a bit confused.
Shui Miao’s heart stirred, his voice echoing inside the Time Tower, “This is inside one of my artifacts. Ao Hong might go down in a blaze of glory, self-destructing his demon body, so it’s better for you to hide here.”
Even in such a situation, she’s still considering my safety?
Learning that Shui Miao was protecting her, He’er felt a surge of sweetness, warmth, and happiness.
“By the way, Shui Miao, since Ao Hong is almost done for, why did you let the demon beasts deal with him? You know, the Immortal Emperor’s demon body is a priceless treasure.” He’er, her thoughts racing, quickly asked.
“Ao Hong’s demon body is comparable to a supreme-grade immortal artifact. With my current strength and the artifacts I have, it’s impossible to kill him; I can only temporarily trap him.” Shui Miao, watching from afar as the demon beasts attacked Ao Hong, suddenly had an idea, multitasking, the forging furnace inside the Time Tower automatically began to smelt the Nuwa Stone, “In this situation, I only have one last method to try.”
“What, what method?” He’er eagerly asked.
“You’ll know when the time comes.”
Watching the pitiful Ao Hong being beaten by the demon beasts, Shui Miao thought to himself, “I’ll use the Nuwa Stone to forge an immortal artifact, even if it’s just a very fine needle, then use Ao Hong’s blood to quench it, perhaps I can create a supreme artifact. At that time, I won’t believe I can’t kill this Ao Hong?”
The Nuwa Stone is difficult to smelt, taking a long time to produce even a small amount of material.
But, using this small amount of material to forge a needle is still possible.
However, setting up a formation inside a needle is an extremely difficult task.
“You little brat, you just have a couple of supreme-grade immortal artifacts, don’t you? I don’t believe that with so many of us, we can’t take you down! Everyone, attack together, kill him! Kill him!” Ao Hong, since escaping from the Sacred Demon Mountain and gathering with a large number of demon beasts, had collected all the magical treasures from everyone and kept them on himself as a precaution.
He instantly activated over thirty protective artifacts, forming a visible shield of light around his body.
He also possessed dozens of top-grade immortal artifacts and various magical treasures.
Ao Hong had actually realized that Shui Miao’s strength and cultivation were not that impressive, relying solely on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts.
Now, in this open space, with his subordinates, his magical treasures, and having consumed many elixirs to restore half of his cultivation, he didn’t believe he couldn’t defeat Shui Miao under these circumstances.
Indeed, Ao Hong’s subordinates were all powerful beings.
The tens of thousands of demon beast army that attacked the Sacred Demon Mountain had not suffered many losses. Most of the demon beasts Ao Hong kept by his side were at the level of Immortal Lords and Immortal Elders, the absolute main force of the demon beast clan.
“…”
The demon beasts didn’t move, looking at each other, seemingly somewhat intimidated.
They couldn’t detect the strength and cultivation of the person before them, and this person had even forced Ao Hong to retreat several steps, indicating he was definitely not an ordinary person.
It turned out that demon beasts weren’t all mindless killing machines.
Moreover, Ao Hong himself had mentioned that Shui Miao possessed two supreme-grade immortal artifacts, whose immense power was well-known. No matter how foolish, they wouldn’t be so stupid as to pit their heads against supreme-grade immortal artifacts.
Now, the better immortal artifacts they had were all taken by Ao Hong.
With bare hands, what could they use to fight?
Thus, the demon beasts didn’t act rashly.
Shui Miao, clever and astute, saw through their thoughts at a glance and sneered loudly, “The great Immortal Emperor, the leader of the demon beast clan, actually hides behind others upon seeing me, taking everyone’s magical treasures to save himself, while letting the unarmed sacrifice their lives to protect you. You, the Immortal Emperor, are truly unprecedented and unparalleled. I know the demon beast clan values honor, fears no death, and are righteous divine beasts, but today, we have you, Ao Hong, who has utterly disgraced the demon beast clan. Even I, an outsider, blush for you. What right do you have to lead everyone? You selfish, self-centered wretch, if you have the guts, step forward and face me one-on-one.”

“You little brat, who do you think you are? You just rely on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts, don’t you? I was careless and got ambushed by you before, but now you dare to challenge me here? You’re seeking death!” Ao Hong, with no way out, fully activated his Emperor’s aura, ready to attack Shui Miao at any moment.
This Ao Hong seems quite clumsy with his words! Shui Miao sneered again, “So what if I have supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I forged them myself. And you? You’re the Immortal Emperor, a supreme being who should lead subordinates and dominate the heavens. But you act like a pitiful wretch, even shamelessly wanting to dual cultivate with He’er. I’m truly ashamed for you. A third-rate, insignificant dragon like you isn’t even worthy of speaking to me.”
Shui Miao suddenly realized his verbal skills were quite sharp!
“You, you, you’re seeking death!”
Ao Hong, furious, immediately activated five flying swords, directly attacking Shui Miao.
“Shameless! The Immortal Emperor resorts to sneak attacks!”
Shui Miao didn’t miss any opportunity to mock and belittle Ao Hong, while simultaneously activating the Time Pearl, dodging the flying swords, and appearing at Ao Hong’s side.

“Haha! How can you even call yourself the leader of the demon beasts?” Shui Miao laughed loudly, returning to his original position, grabbing the five flying swords, and throwing them towards the demon beasts, “Whose immortal artifacts are these? Take them now!”
Inspired by Shui Miao, the demon beasts scrambled to retrieve their own immortal artifacts.
Without waiting for Ao Hong to speak, Shui Miao activated the Time Pearl again, launching another Fire Dragon Blast at Ao Hong, followed by another fierce slash!
Several more of Ao Hong’s protective artifacts were destroyed.
Shui Miao’s Ghost Head Blade slashed fiercely, damaging several more protective artifacts.
※※※
Despite having protective artifacts and several top-grade immortal artifacts, Ao Hong was completely overwhelmed by Shui Miao’s attacks.
Shui Miao’s speed was terrifyingly fast, leaving the demon beasts trembling with fear, and even He’er was stunned.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s combination of lightning attacks and fierce slashes with the Ghost Head Blade was perfectly executed, blending magical and physical attacks. With inferior artifacts, how could Ao Hong possibly withstand such an assault?
Even more terrifying was that while Shui Miao launched a relentless attack on Ao Hong, he also employed psychological warfare, swaying everyone’s thoughts, successfully isolating Ao Hong from the demon beast clan, making them look down on him and unwilling to ally with him. Everyone was focused on retrieving their own magical treasures, with no one considering helping him.
“Despicable!”
“Shui Miao, I will remember today’s humiliation. I will return, and that will be your death!”
In desperation, Ao Hong decided to flee before his last protective artifact was destroyed. If he didn’t escape now, he might never get another chance.
Immediately, Ao Hong channeled his energy, preparing to use an escape technique.
“Trying to escape? Not so easy!”
Thinking quickly, Shui Miao accelerated his attack speed to the maximum.
“Shui Miao, I’ll help you…”
Suddenly, He’er spoke up.
He’er fully activated her mental power, infiltrating Ao Hong’s thoughts, blocking his escape.
“Ao Hong, return my top-grade immortal artifact!”
“And my protective artifact…”
“He is a disgrace to our demon beast clan. Stop him, kill him!”
Several Immortal Elders, seeing Ao Hong’s inevitable downfall, actually turned to attack him.
Poor Ao Hong had fallen to such a state!
“Boom!”
Under the Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong’s last protective artifact was destroyed.
His thoughts were interrupted by He’er, preventing him from using the escape technique.
If he were hit by another Fire Dragon Blast, his energy would become numb, unable to be activated, leading to a vicious cycle, and he would eventually be worn down to death by Shui Miao.
“I’ll fight you to the death!”
In a desperate attempt to escape before Shui Miao launched another Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong, relying on his strong immortal body, suddenly detonated several top-grade immortal artifacts around him!
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“…”
The massive shockwave from the explosion instantly sent everyone flying.
Several weaker demon beasts were killed on the spot.
Shui Miao, protected by his supreme-grade protective pearl, was unharmed, only being blown back several dozen meters.
Seeing the severe injuries inflicted on everyone, Ao Hong didn’t flee immediately but instead flew towards He’er, who had also been blown away.
He intended to capture He’er, forcing her to dual cultivate with him to enhance his cultivation!
“Boom!”
He’er, possessing a spatial artifact, inspired by Ao Hong’s self-detonation, also detonated her spatial artifact.
The explosion of the spatial artifact was relatively mild.
But it was precisely this explosion that delayed Ao Hong’s time.
“Ao Hong, you had a chance to escape, but now you’re doomed!”
Shui Miao had already returned, launching the Fire Dragon Blast, the dragon’s roar resounding, striking Ao Hong’s head directly!
Ao Hong’s heart sank, it’s over!
“Everyone, attack!”
“Kill the Immortal Emperor, obtain his aura, it will greatly benefit our cultivation.”
“This opportunity is once in a thousand years. If we miss it, we’ll regret it for life.”
Shui Miao, having succeeded, worried that Ao Hong might self-detonate and harm He’er, retreated instead, holding He’er’s waist, directly moving her into the Time Tower, and then flew aside.
“Shui Miao, where is this? What are you doing?”
Suddenly entering the Time Tower, He’er was a bit confused.
Shui Miao’s heart stirred, his voice echoing inside the Time Tower, “This is inside one of my artifacts. Ao Hong might self-detonate his demon body, so it’s better for you to hide here.”

“By the way, Shui Miao, since Ao Hong is almost done for, why did you let the demon beasts deal with him? You know, the Immortal Emperor’s demon body is a priceless treasure.” He’er’s thoughts turned, quickly asking.
“Ao Hong’s demon body is comparable to a supreme-grade immortal artifact. With my current strength and the artifacts I have, it’s impossible to kill him. I can only temporarily trap him.” Shui Miao watched from afar as the demon beasts attacked Ao Hong, his thoughts turning, multitasking, the forging furnace inside the Time Tower automatically began to smelt the Nuwa Stone, “In this situation, I can only try one last method.”

Kill him!” Ao Hong, since escaping from the Sacred Demon Mountain and gathering with a large number of demon beasts, had collected all their magical treasures and kept them on himself as a precaution.
He instantly activated over thirty protective artifacts, forming a visible shield of light around his body.
He also possessed dozens of top-grade immortal artifacts and various magical treasures.
Ao Hong had indeed noticed that Shui Miao’s cultivation level wasn’t particularly high, relying solely on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts.
Now, in this open space, with his subordinates, his treasures, and having consumed many elixirs to restore half of his cultivation, he didn’t believe he couldn’t take on Shui Miao.
Indeed, Ao Hong’s subordinates were all formidable.
The tens of thousands of demon beasts that attacked the Sacred Demon Mountain hadn’t suffered many losses. Most of the demon beasts Ao Hong kept by his side were at the level of Immortal Lords and Immortal Elders, the absolute elite of the demon beast race.
“…”
The demon beasts didn’t move, looking at each other, seemingly wary.
They couldn’t gauge the cultivation level of the person before them, and the fact that this person had forced Ao Hong to retreat several steps indicated he was no ordinary individual.

You’re looking for death!” Ao Hong, with no way out, fully activated his emperor’s aura, ready to attack Shui Miao at any moment.
Ao Hong’s mouth seemed clumsy! Shui Miao sneered again, “What if I have supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I forged them myself. And you? You’re the Immortal Emperor, a supreme being who should command subordinates and dominate the heavens. But you act like a pitiful worm, even lusting after He’er for dual cultivation. I’m truly ashamed for you. You, a third-rate villainous dragon, aren’t even worthy of speaking to me.”
Shui Miao suddenly realized his verbal skills were quite sharp!
“You, you, you’re asking for death!”
Ao Hong, furious, immediately activated five flying swords, directly attacking Shui Miao.
“Shameless! The Immortal Emperor resorts to sneak attacks!”
Shui Miao didn’t miss any opportunity to mock and belittle Ao Hong, while activating the Time Pearl, dodging the flying swords, and appearing beside Ao Hong. He launched a Fire Dragon Blast, instantly destroying several of Ao Hong’s protective artifacts. Before Ao Hong could fully react, Shui Miao swung his Ghost Head Blade wildly, shredding Ao Hong’s clothes, leaving him in a sorry state.
“Haha! How dare you call yourself the leader of the demon beasts?” Shui Miao laughed loudly, returning to his original spot, grabbing the five flying swords, and throwing them towards the demon beasts, “Whose artifacts are these? Take them back now!”
Inspired by Shui Miao, the demon beasts scrambled to retrieve their artifacts.
Without waiting for Ao Hong to speak, Shui Miao activated the Time Pearl again, launching another Fire Dragon Blast and a fierce slash!
Several more of Ao Hong’s protective artifacts were destroyed.
Shui Miao’s Ghost Head Blade slashed through several more protective artifacts.
※※※
Despite having protective artifacts and several top-grade immortal artifacts, Ao Hong was utterly overwhelmed by Shui Miao’s attacks.
Shui Miao’s speed was terrifyingly fast, leaving the demon beasts trembling with fear, and He’er wide-eyed in shock.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s combination of lightning attacks and fierce slashes with the Ghost Head Blade was perfectly executed, blending magical and physical attacks. With inferior artifacts, how could Ao Hong possibly withstand it?
Even more terrifying, while Shui Miao relentlessly attacked Ao Hong, he also waged psychological warfare, swaying the demon beasts’ thoughts, successfully isolating Ao Hong from the demon beast race, making them despise him and unwilling to ally with him, all eager to reclaim their artifacts, none considering helping him.
“Despicable!”
“Shui Miao, I will remember today’s humiliation. I will return, and that will be your death!”
In despair, Ao Hong decided to flee before his last protective artifact was destroyed. If he didn’t escape now, he might never get another chance.
Immediately, Ao Hong channeled his energy, preparing to use an escape technique.
“Trying to escape? Not so easy!”
Thinking quickly, Shui Miao accelerated his attacks, pushing his speed to the limit.
“Shui Miao, I’ll help you…”
Suddenly, He’er spoke up.
He’er fully activated her spiritual power, infiltrating Ao Hong’s mind, blocking his escape.
“Ao Hong, return my top-grade immortal artifact!”
“And my protective artifact…”
“He’s a disgrace to our demon beast race. Stop him, kill him!”
Several Immortal Elders, seeing Ao Hong’s downfall, actually turned to attack him.
Poor Ao Hong had fallen to such a state!
“Boom!”
Under the Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong’s last protective artifact was destroyed.
His thoughts were disrupted by He’er, preventing him from using the escape technique.
If he were hit by another Fire Dragon Blast, his energy would become numb, unable to activate, leading to a vicious cycle, ultimately being worn down to death by Shui Miao.
“I’ll fight you to the death!”
In desperation, to escape before Shui Miao launched another Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong, relying on his strong immortal body, suddenly detonated several top-grade immortal artifacts around him!
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“…”
The massive shockwaves from the artifact explosions instantly sent everyone flying.
Several weaker demon beasts were killed on the spot.
Shui Miao, protected by his supreme-grade protective pearl, was unharmed, merely blown back several dozen meters.
Seeing the severe injuries inflicted, Ao Hong, instead of fleeing immediately, flew towards He’er, who had also been blown away.
He intended to capture He’er, forcing her into dual cultivation to enhance his power!
“Boom!”
He’er, possessing a spatial artifact, inspired by Ao Hong’s artifact detonation, also detonated her spatial artifact.
The spatial artifact’s explosion was relatively weak.
But precisely because of this explosion, it delayed Ao Hong’s time.
“Ao Hong, you had a chance to escape, but now you’re doomed!”
Shui Miao had already returned, launching a Fire Dragon Blast, the dragon’s roar resounding, striking Ao Hong’s head directly!
Ao Hong’s heart sank—it was over!
“Everyone, attack!”
“Kill the Immortal Emperor, obtain his aura, it will greatly benefit our cultivation.”
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we miss it, we’ll regret it forever.”
Shui Miao, having struck successfully, worried Ao Hong might self-destruct and harm He’er, retreated instead, holding He’er’s waist, moving her into the Time Tower, and flying to the side himself.
“Shui Miao, where is this? What are you doing?”
Suddenly entering the Time Tower, He’er was a bit confused.
Shui Miao’s voice echoed within the Time Tower, “This is inside one of my artifacts. Ao Hong might self-destruct his demon body, so it’s best for you to hide here.”
Even in such a situation, she was still considering my safety?
Realizing Shui Miao was protecting her, He’er felt a sweet warmth, happiness filling her heart.
“Shui Miao, since Ao Hong is almost done for, why did you let the demon beasts deal with him? The Immortal Emperor’s demon body is a priceless treasure,” He’er quickly asked, her thoughts racing.
“Ao Hong’s demon body is comparable to a supreme-grade immortal artifact. With my current strength and artifacts, it’s impossible to kill him; I can only temporarily trap him,” Shui Miao watched from afar as the demon beasts attacked Ao Hong, his mind racing, multitasking, the Time Tower’s forging furnace automatically smelting the Nuwa Stone, “In this situation, I can only try one last method.”
“What method?” He’er eagerly inquired.
“You’ll know when the time comes.”
Watching the pitiful Ao Hong being beaten by the demon beasts, Shui Miao thought to himself, “I’ll use the Nuwa Stone to forge an artifact, even if it’s just a tiny needle, then temper it with Ao Hong’s blood. Perhaps I can create a supreme artifact. Then, I won’t believe I can’t kill this Ao Hong!”
The Nuwa Stone was difficult to smelt, taking a long time to produce even a small amount of material.
But using this small amount to forge a needle was still possible.
However, embedding a formation within such a tiny needle was an extremely challenging task.
“You little brat, you just have a couple of supreme-grade immortal artifacts, don’t you? I don’t believe that with so many of us, we can’t take you down! Everyone, attack together, kill him! Kill him!” Ao Hong, since escaping from the Sacred Demon Mountain and gathering with a large number of demon beasts, had collected all the magical treasures from everyone and kept them on himself as a precaution.
He instantly activated over thirty protective artifacts, forming a visible shield of light around his body.
He also possessed dozens of top-grade immortal artifacts and various magical treasures.
Ao Hong had actually noticed that Shui Miao’s strength and cultivation level weren’t particularly impressive; he relied solely on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts.
Now, in this open space, with his subordinates, his treasures, and having consumed many elixirs to restore half of his cultivation, he didn’t believe he couldn’t defeat Shui Miao under these circumstances.
Indeed, Ao Hong’s subordinates were all formidable.
The tens of thousands of demon beasts that attacked the Sacred Demon Mountain hadn’t suffered many losses. Most of the demon beasts Ao Hong kept by his side were at the level of Immortal Lords and Immortal Elders, the absolute elite of the demon beast clan.
“…”
The demon beasts didn’t move, glancing at each other, seemingly somewhat intimidated.
They couldn’t gauge the strength and cultivation level of the person before them, and the fact that this person had forced Ao Hong to retreat several steps indicated that he was no ordinary individual.
It proved that demon beasts weren’t entirely mindless killing machines.
Moreover, Ao Hong himself had mentioned that Shui Miao possessed two supreme-grade immortal artifacts. The immense power of such artifacts was common knowledge. No matter how foolish, one wouldn’t be so reckless as to pit their head against a supreme-grade immortal artifact.
Now, all the decent immortal artifacts had been confiscated by Ao Hong.
With bare hands, what could they possibly use to fight?
Thus, the demon beasts didn’t act rashly.
Shui Miao, clever and astute, immediately saw through their thoughts and sneered loudly, “The mighty Immortal Emperor, the leader of the demon beast clan, actually hides behind others upon seeing me, confiscates everyone’s treasures to save himself, yet expects his unarmed subordinates to sacrifice their lives to protect him. You, the Immortal Emperor, are truly unprecedented and unparalleled. I know the demon beast clan values honor above all, fearless of death, noble and righteous divine beasts. But today, we have you, Ao Hong, who has utterly disgraced the demon beast clan. Even I, an outsider, feel ashamed for you. What right do you have to lead everyone? You selfish, self-centered wretch, if you have the guts, step forward and face me one-on-one.”
Shui Miao’s words were filled with overwhelming dominance and heroism.
In contrast, Ao Hong appeared despicable and lowly, earning everyone’s disdain.
Indeed, Shui Miao’s words resonated with the demon beasts, who dispersed, allowing Ao Hong and Shui Miao to face each other in a one-on-one duel.
“You little brat, who do you think you are? You just rely on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts, don’t you? I was careless and got ambushed by you earlier, but now you dare to challenge me so arrogantly? You’re asking for death!” Ao Hong, with no way out, fully activated his Emperor’s aura, ready to attack Shui Miao at any moment.
Ao Hong’s tongue seemed rather clumsy! Shui Miao sneered again, “So what if I have supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I crafted them myself. And you? You’re the Immortal Emperor, a supreme being who should lead and dominate the heavens. But you act like a pitiful worm, even lusting after a crane for dual cultivation. I’m truly ashamed for you. A third-rate, insignificant dragon like you isn’t even worthy of speaking to me.”
Shui Miao suddenly realized his verbal skills were quite sharp!
“You, you, you’re asking for death!”
Enraged, Ao Hong immediately activated five flying swords, directly attacking Shui Miao.
“Shameless! The Immortal Emperor resorts to sneak attacks!”
Shui Miao didn’t miss any opportunity to mock and belittle Ao Hong, while simultaneously activating the Time Pearl, swiftly dodging the flying swords and appearing beside Ao Hong. He immediately launched a Fire Dragon Blast, destroying several of Ao Hong’s protective artifacts. Before Ao Hong could fully react, Shui Miao wielded his Ghost Head Blade, slashing wildly, reducing Ao Hong’s clothes to tatters, leaving him in a sorry state.
“Haha! And you have the audacity to be the leader of the demon beasts?” Shui Miao laughed loudly, returning to his original spot, grabbing the five flying swords, and throwing them towards the demon beasts, “Whose immortal artifacts are these? Take them back now!”
Inspired by Shui Miao, the demon beasts scrambled to retrieve their artifacts.
Without waiting for Ao Hong to speak, Shui Miao activated the Time Pearl again, launching another Fire Dragon Blast at Ao Hong, followed by another fierce slash!
Several more of Ao Hong’s protective artifacts were destroyed.
Shui Miao’s Ghost Head Blade slashed through several more protective artifacts.
※※※
Despite having protective artifacts and several top-grade immortal artifacts, Ao Hong was utterly defenseless against Shui Miao’s attacks.
Shui Miao’s speed was terrifyingly fast, leaving the demon beasts trembling in fear, and even Crane was dumbfounded.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s combination of lightning attacks and fierce slashes with the Ghost Head Blade was perfectly executed, blending magical and physical attacks. With inferior artifacts, how could Ao Hong possibly withstand such an assault?
Even more terrifying was that while Shui Miao launched a relentless assault on Ao Hong, he also employed psychological warfare, swaying the thoughts of the demon beasts, successfully isolating Ao Hong from the clan, making them look down on him, unwilling to associate with him, all eager to reclaim their artifacts, none considering helping him.
“Despicable!”
“Shui Miao, I will remember today’s humiliation, and I will return for you! When that time comes, it will be your death!”
In despair, Ao Hong decided to flee before his last protective artifact was destroyed. If he didn’t escape now, he might never get another chance.
Immediately, Ao Hong channeled his energy, preparing to use an escape technique.
“Trying to escape? Not so easy!”
Quickly thinking, Shui Miao accelerated his attacks, pushing his speed to the limit.
“Shui Miao, I’ll help you…”
Suddenly, Crane spoke up.
Crane fully activated her spiritual power, infiltrating Ao Hong’s mind, blocking his escape.
“Ao Hong, return my top-grade immortal artifact!”
“And my protective artifact…”
“He’s a disgrace to our demon beast clan, stop him, kill him!”
Several Immortal Elders, seeing Ao Hong’s inevitable downfall, actually turned to attack him.
Poor Ao Hong had fallen to such a state!
“Boom!”
Under the Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong’s last protective artifact was destroyed.
His thoughts were interrupted by Crane, preventing him from using the escape technique.
If he were hit by another Fire Dragon Blast, his energy would become numb, unable to activate, leading to a vicious cycle, ultimately being worn down to death by Shui Miao.
“I’ll fight you all!”
In desperation, to escape before Shui Miao launched another Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong, relying on his robust immortal body, suddenly detonated several top-grade immortal artifacts around him!
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“…”
The massive shockwaves from the artifact explosions swept everyone away.
Several weaker demon beasts were killed on the spot.
Shui Miao, protected by his supreme-grade protective pearl, was unharmed, merely blown back several dozen meters.
Seeing the severe injuries inflicted, Ao Hong didn’t flee immediately but instead flew towards Crane, who had also been blown away.
He intended to capture Crane, forcing her into dual cultivation to enhance his power!
“Boom!”
Crane possessed a spatial artifact. Inspired by Ao Hong’s artifact explosion, she detonated her spatial artifact as well.
The explosion of the spatial artifact was relatively mild.
But precisely because of this explosion, it delayed Ao Hong’s timing.
“Ao Hong, you had a chance to escape, but now you’re doomed!”
Shui Miao had already returned, launching a Fire Dragon Blast, the dragon’s roar resounding, striking Ao Hong’s head directly!
Ao Hong’s heart sank, it was over!
“Everyone, attack!”
“Kill the Immortal Emperor, seize his aura, it will greatly benefit our cultivation.”
“This opportunity is once in a lifetime; if we miss it, we’ll regret it forever.”
Having succeeded, Shui Miao, fearing Ao Hong might self-destruct and harm Crane, retreated, holding Crane’s waist, moving her into the Time Tower, and himself flying to the side.
“Shui Miao, where is this? What are you doing?”
Suddenly entering the Time Tower, Crane was a bit confused.
Shui Miao’s voice echoed within the Time Tower, “This is inside one of my artifacts. Ao Hong might self-destruct his demon body, so it’s better for you to hide here.”
Even in such a situation, she’s still considering my safety?
Realizing Shui Miao was protecting her, Crane felt a sweet warmth, a sense of happiness.
“By the way, Shui Miao, since Ao Hong is almost done for, why did you let the demon beasts deal with him? After all, the Immortal Emperor’s demon body is an invaluable treasure.” Crane quickly asked.
“Ao Hong’s demon body is comparable to a supreme-grade immortal artifact. With my current strength and artifacts, it’s impossible to kill him; I can only temporarily trap him.” Shui Miao watched from afar as the demon beasts attacked Ao Hong, suddenly thinking of a dual-purpose plan. The forging furnace inside the Time Tower automatically began smelting the Nuwa Stone. “In this situation, I can only try one last method.”
“What, what method?” Crane eagerly asked.
“You’ll know when the time comes.”
Watching the pitiful Ao Hong being beaten by the demon beasts, Shui Miao thought to himself, “I’ll use the Nuwa Stone to forge an immortal artifact, even if it’s just a tiny needle, then use Ao Hong’s blood to quench it. Perhaps I can create a supreme artifact. Then, I won’t believe I can’t kill this Ao Hong.”
The Nuwa Stone was difficult to smelt, taking a long time to produce even a small amount of material.
But with this small amount, forging a needle was still possible.
However, embedding a formation within a needle was an extremely challenging task.
“You little brat, you think you’re so great just because you have a couple of supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I don’t believe that with so many of us, we can’t take you down! Everyone, charge! Kill him! Kill him!” Ao Hong, ever since escaping from the Sacred Demon Mountain and gathering with a large group of demon beasts, had collected all the magical artifacts from everyone and kept them on himself as a precaution.
He instantly activated over thirty protective artifacts, forming a visible shield of light around his body.
He also possessed dozens of top-grade immortal artifacts and various magical tools.
Ao Hong had actually noticed that Shui Miao’s cultivation level wasn’t that impressive; he relied solely on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts.
Now, in this open space, with his subordinates by his side, armed with magical artifacts, and having consumed numerous elixirs to restore half of his cultivation, he didn’t believe he couldn’t match Shui Miao.
Indeed, Ao Hong’s subordinates were all formidable.
The tens of thousands of demon beasts that attacked the Sacred Demon Mountain hadn’t suffered many losses. Most of the demon beasts Ao Hong kept by his side were at the level of Immortal Lords and Immortal Elders, the absolute elite of the demon beast clan.
“…”
The demon beasts didn’t move, glancing at each other, seemingly hesitant.
They couldn’t gauge the cultivation level of the person before them, and the fact that this person had forced Ao Hong to retreat several steps indicated he was no ordinary individual.
It was clear that not all demon beasts were mindless brutes.
Moreover, Ao Hong himself had mentioned that Shui Miao possessed two supreme-grade immortal artifacts. The power of such artifacts was immense, and everyone knew that. No matter how foolish, no one would be stupid enough to pit their head against a supreme-grade immortal artifact.
Now, all the decent immortal artifacts they had were taken by Ao Hong.
Unarmed, what could they possibly use to fight?
Thus, the demon beasts didn’t act rashly.
Shui Miao, clever and astute, immediately saw through their thoughts and sneered loudly, “The great Immortal Emperor, the leader of the demon beast clan, actually hides behind others upon seeing me, taking everyone’s magical artifacts to save himself, while leaving his unarmed subordinates to sacrifice their lives to protect him. You, the Immortal Emperor, are truly unprecedented and unparalleled. I know the demon beast clan values honor above all, fearless and righteous, but today, we have you, Ao Hong, who has utterly disgraced the demon beast clan. Even I, an outsider, feel ashamed for you. What right do you have to lead everyone? You selfish, pitiful worm, if you have the guts, step forward and face me one-on-one.”
Shui Miao’s words were filled with overwhelming dominance and valor.
In contrast, Ao Hong appeared despicable and lowly, earning everyone’s disdain.
Indeed, Shui Miao’s words resonated with the demon beasts, who scattered, leaving Ao Hong and Shui Miao to face each other alone.
“You little brat, who do you think you are? You’re just relying on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts! I was careless and got ambushed by you earlier, but now you dare to challenge me so arrogantly? You’re looking for death!” Ao Hong, with no way out, channeled all his emperor’s energy, ready to attack Shui Miao at any moment.
Ao Hong’s tongue seemed rather clumsy! Shui Miao sneered again, “So what if I have supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I crafted them myself. And you? You’re the Immortal Emperor, a supreme being who should lead and command, a powerhouse that shakes the heavens. But you act like a pitiful worm, even shamelessly wanting to dual cultivate with He’er. I’m truly embarrassed for you. You, a third-rate, insignificant little dragon, aren’t even worthy to speak to me.”
Shui Miao suddenly realized his verbal skills were quite sharp!
“You, you, you’re asking for death!”
Ao Hong, furious, immediately summoned five flying swords, aiming directly at Shui Miao.
“Shameless! The Immortal Emperor resorts to sneak attacks!”
Shui Miao didn’t miss any opportunity to mock and belittle Ao Hong, while simultaneously activating the Time Pearl, dodging the flying swords and appearing at Ao Hong’s side. He unleashed the Fire Dragon Blast, instantly destroying several of Ao Hong’s protective artifacts. Before Ao Hong could fully react, Shui Miao swung the Ghost Head Blade, slashing Ao Hong’s clothes into tatters, leaving him in a sorry state.
“Haha! And you dare call yourself the leader of the demon beasts?” Shui Miao laughed heartily, returning to his original spot, grabbing the five flying swords, and throwing them towards the demon beasts, “Whose immortal artifacts are these? Take them back now!”
Inspired by Shui Miao, the demon beasts scrambled to retrieve their own artifacts.
Without waiting for Ao Hong to speak, Shui Miao activated the Time Pearl again, launching another Fire Dragon Blast and a fierce slash!
Several more of Ao Hong’s protective artifacts were destroyed.
Shui Miao’s Ghost Head Blade slashed through several more protective artifacts.
※※※
Despite having protective artifacts and several top-grade immortal artifacts, Ao Hong was utterly defenseless against Shui Miao’s attacks.
Shui Miao’s speed was terrifyingly fast, leaving the demon beasts trembling in fear, and even He’er was stunned.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s combination of lightning attacks and the Ghost Head Blade’s slashes was perfectly executed, blending magical and physical assaults. With inferior artifacts, how could Ao Hong possibly withstand such an onslaught?
Even more terrifying was Shui Miao’s psychological warfare, manipulating everyone’s thoughts, successfully isolating Ao Hong from the demon beast clan, making them despise him and unwilling to ally with him. Everyone was focused on retrieving their own artifacts, with no one considering helping him.
“Despicable!”
“Shui Miao, I will remember today’s humiliation. I will return, and that will be your death!”
In despair, Ao Hong decided to flee before his last protective artifact was destroyed. If he didn’t escape now, he might never get another chance.

“Boom!”
Under the Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong’s last protective artifact was destroyed.
His thoughts were interrupted by He’er, preventing him from using the escape technique.
If he were hit by another Fire Dragon Blast, his energy would become numb, unable to be channeled, leading to a vicious cycle where he would be slowly worn down by Shui Miao.
“I’ll fight you to the death!”
In desperation, to escape before Shui Miao launched another Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong, relying on his robust immortal body, suddenly detonated several top-grade immortal artifacts around him!
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“…”
The massive shockwaves from the artifact explosions instantly sent everyone flying.
Several weaker demon beasts were killed on the spot.
Shui Miao, protected by his supreme-grade protective pearl, was unharmed, merely blown back several dozen meters.
Seeing the severe injuries inflicted, Ao Hong didn’t flee immediately but instead flew towards He’er, who had also been blown away.
He intended to capture He’er, forcing her to dual cultivate with him to enhance his power!

He’er, possessing a spatial artifact, inspired by Ao Hong’s artifact explosion, detonated her own spatial artifact.
The explosion of the spatial artifact was relatively mild.
But it was precisely this explosion that delayed Ao Hong.
“Ao Hong, you had a chance to escape, but now you’re doomed!”
Shui Miao had already returned, launching the Fire Dragon Blast, the dragon’s roar resounding, striking Ao Hong’s head directly!
Ao Hong’s heart sank—it was over!
“Everyone, attack!”
“Kill the Immortal Emperor, seize his essence. It will greatly benefit our cultivation.”
“This opportunity is once in a lifetime. If we miss it, we’ll regret it forever.”
Shui Miao, having struck successfully, worried that Ao Hong might self-destruct and harm He’er, retreated instead, holding He’er’s waist and teleporting her into the Time Tower, while he himself flew to the side.
“Shui Miao, where is this? What are you doing?”
Suddenly inside the Time Tower, He’er was a bit confused.
Shui Miao’s voice echoed within the tower, “This is inside one of my artifacts. Ao Hong might self-destruct, so it’s safer for you to hide here.”
Even in such a situation, she was still considering my safety?
Realizing Shui Miao was protecting her, He’er felt a surge of sweetness, warmth, and happiness.
“By the way, Shui Miao, since Ao Hong is almost done for, why did you let the demon beasts deal with him? The Immortal Emperor’s body is a priceless treasure,” He’er quickly asked, her thoughts racing.
“Ao Hong’s body is comparable to a supreme-grade immortal artifact. With my current strength and artifacts, it’s impossible to kill him; I can only temporarily trap him,” Shui Miao watched from afar as the demon beasts attacked Ao Hong, suddenly splitting his focus, the Time Tower’s forging furnace automatically began to smelt the Nuwa Stone. “In this situation, I only have one last method to try.”
“What method?” He’er eagerly inquired.
“You’ll know when the time comes.”
Watching the pitiful Ao Hong being beaten by the demon beasts, Shui Miao thought to himself, “I’ll use the Nuwa Stone to forge an immortal artifact, even if it’s just a tiny needle. Then, I’ll temper it with Ao Hong’s blood. Perhaps I can create a supreme artifact. Then, I won’t believe I can’t kill this Ao Hong.”
The Nuwa Stone was difficult to smelt, taking a long time to produce even a small amount of material.
But with that small amount, forging a needle was still possible.
However, embedding a formation within a needle was an extremely challenging task.
Shui Miao suddenly realized that his verbal skills were quite sharp too!
“You, you, you’re just asking for death!”
Ao Hong was furious and immediately activated five flying swords to directly assassinate Shui Miao.
“Despicable! A mighty Immortal Emperor actually resorts to sneak attacks!”
Shui Miao never missed an opportunity to mock and belittle Ao Hong. At the same time, he activated the Time Crystal Ball, his figure flickering to dodge the swords and arriving at Ao Hong’s side. He immediately launched the Fire Dragon Strike, instantly destroying several of Ao Hong’s protective magical artifacts. Before Ao Hong could fully react, Shui Miao wielded his Demon Cleaver in a furious onslaught, cutting Ao Hong’s clothes into tatters, leaving him in a pitiful state.
“You little brat, you think you’re so tough with just a couple of supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I don’t believe that with so many of us, we can’t take you down! Everyone, attack! Kill him! Kill him!” Ao Hong, having escaped from the Sacred Demon Mountain and gathered a large number of demon beasts, had collected all their magical artifacts for his own protection, just in case.
He instantly activated over thirty protective artifacts, forming a visible shield of light around him.
He also possessed dozens of top-tier immortal artifacts and various magical tools.
Ao Hong had indeed noticed that Shui Miao’s strength and cultivation were not particularly impressive; he relied solely on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts.
Now, in this open space, with his subordinates, his artifacts, and having consumed numerous elixirs to restore half of his cultivation, he didn’t believe he couldn’t defeat Shui Miao under these circumstances.

Moreover, Ao Hong himself had mentioned that Shui Miao possessed two supreme-grade immortal artifacts, whose immense power was well-known. No matter how foolish, no one would be stupid enough to confront supreme-grade immortal artifacts head-on.
Now, the better artifacts everyone had were all taken by Ao Hong.
With bare hands, what could they possibly use to fight?
Thus, the demon beasts did not act rashly.
Shui Miao, clever and astute, saw through their thoughts and sneered loudly, “The mighty Immortal Emperor, the leader of the demon beast clan, actually hides behind others upon seeing me, collects everyone’s artifacts for his own protection, and then sacrifices the unarmed to protect himself. You, the Immortal Emperor, are truly unprecedented and unparalleled. I know the demon beast clan values honor above all, fearless in the face of death, righteous and heroic divine beasts.

You’re the Immortal Emperor, a supreme being who should lead and command, a super powerhouse that shakes the heavens.

Shui Miao suddenly realized that his verbal skills were quite sharp!

Ao Hong, enraged, immediately activated five flying swords, directly attacking Shui Miao.

Several more of Ao Hong’s protective artifacts were destroyed.
Shui Miao’s Ghost Head Blade slashed through several more protective artifacts.
※※※
Despite having protective artifacts and several top-tier immortal artifacts, Ao Hong was completely overwhelmed by Shui Miao’s attacks.
Shui Miao’s speed was terrifyingly fast, leaving the demon beasts trembling with fear, and He’er was utterly stunned.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s combination of lightning attacks and fierce slashes with the Ghost Head Blade was perfectly executed, blending magical and physical attacks. With inferior artifacts, how could Ao Hong possibly withstand such an assault?
Even more terrifying was that while Shui Miao relentlessly attacked Ao Hong, he also waged psychological warfare, swaying everyone’s thoughts, successfully isolating Ao Hong from the demon beast clan, making them look down on him and unwilling to stand by his side. Everyone was focused on retrieving their artifacts, with no one considering helping him.
“Despicable!”
“Shui Miao, I will remember today’s humiliation, and I will return to seek revenge! That day will be your death!”
In desperation, Ao Hong decided to flee before his last protective artifact was destroyed. If he didn’t escape now, he might never get another chance.
Immediately, Ao Hong channeled his energy, preparing to use an escape technique.

If he were hit by another Fire Dragon Strike, his energy would become numb, unable to be activated, leading to a vicious cycle where he would be slowly worn down and killed by Shui Miao.
“I’ll fight you to the death!”
In a desperate attempt to escape before Shui Miao launched another Fire Dragon Strike, Ao Hong, relying on his strong immortal body, suddenly caused several of his top-tier immortal artifacts to self-destruct around him!
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“…”
The massive shockwave from the self-destruction of the artifacts instantly sent everyone flying.
Several weaker demon beasts were killed on the spot.
Shui Miao, protected by his supreme-grade protective pearl, was unharmed, merely blown back several dozen meters.
Having succeeded, Ao Hong, seeing the severe injuries inflicted, instead of fleeing immediately, flew towards He’er, who had also been blown away.
He intended to capture He’er, forcing her to dual cultivate with him to enhance his cultivation!
“Boom!”
He’er, possessing a spatial artifact, inspired by Ao Hong’s self-destruction, also self-destructed her spatial artifact.
The self-destruction of the spatial artifact was relatively mild.
But precisely because of this self-destruction, it delayed Ao Hong’s time.
“Ao Hong, you had your chance to escape, now you’re doomed!”
Shui Miao had already returned, launching the Fire Dragon Strike, the roar of the dragon resounding, striking Ao Hong’s head directly!
Ao Hong’s heart sank, it was over!
“Everyone, attack!”
“Kill the Immortal Emperor, seize his aura, it will greatly benefit our cultivation.”
“This opportunity is once in a millennium; if we miss it, we’ll regret it for life.”
Having succeeded, Shui Miao, fearing Ao Hong’s self-destruction might harm He’er, retreated, holding He’er’s waist, and directly transported her into the Time Tower, while he himself flew to the side.

In an instant, he activated over thirty protective artifacts, forming a visible shield of light around his body.

Ao Hong’s mouth seems quite clumsy! Shui Miao sneered again, “So what if I have supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I forged them myself. And you? You’re the Immortal Emperor, a being who should stand above all, commanding subordinates and ruling the heavens.

Shui Miao suddenly realized that his verbal skills were quite sharp!

“Shameless! The Immortal Emperor resorts to sneak attacks!”
Shui Miao didn’t miss any opportunity to mock and belittle Ao Hong. At the same time, he activated the Time Pearl, swiftly dodging the flying swords and appearing at Ao Hong’s side. He then unleashed the Fire Dragon Blast, instantly destroying several of Ao Hong’s protective artifacts. Before Ao Hong could fully react, Shui Miao swung his Ghost Head Blade, slashing Ao Hong’s clothes into tatters, leaving him in a sorry state.
“Haha! And you dare call yourself the leader of the demon beasts?” Shui Miao laughed loudly, returning to his original position, grabbing the five flying swords, and throwing them towards the demon beasts, “Whose immortal artifacts are these? Take them now!”
Inspired by Shui Miao, the demon beasts scrambled to retrieve their own artifacts.
Without waiting for Ao Hong to speak, Shui Miao activated the Time Pearl again, launching another Fire Dragon Blast at Ao Hong, followed by another fierce slash!
Several more of Ao Hong’s protective artifacts were destroyed.
Shui Miao’s Ghost Head Blade slashed through several more protective artifacts.
※※※
Despite having protective artifacts and several top-grade immortal artifacts, Ao Hong was utterly defenseless against Shui Miao’s attacks.
Shui Miao’s speed was simply too fast, leaving the demon beasts trembling in fear, and even He’er was left speechless.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s combination of lightning attacks and fierce slashes with the Ghost Head Blade was perfectly executed, blending both magical and physical attacks. With their inferior artifacts, how could they possibly withstand such an assault?
Even more terrifying was that while Shui Miao was unleashing a storm of attacks on Ao Hong, he was also waging psychological warfare, swaying the thoughts of the crowd, successfully isolating Ao Hong from the demon beast race, making them look down on him and unwilling to stand by his side. Everyone was focused on retrieving their own artifacts, with no one considering whether to help him.
“Despicable!”
“Shui Miao, I will remember today’s humiliation! I will return, and that will be your death!”
In despair, Ao Hong decided to flee before his last protective artifact was destroyed. If he didn’t escape now, he might never get another chance.
Immediately, Ao Hong began to channel his energy, preparing to use an escape technique.
“Trying to escape? Not so easy!”
Thinking quickly, Shui Miao accelerated his attacks, pushing his speed to the limit.
“Shui Miao, I’ll help you…”
Suddenly, He’er spoke up.
He’er fully activated her spiritual power, infiltrating Ao Hong’s mind, blocking his escape.
“Ao Hong, return my top-grade immortal artifact!”
“And my protective artifact…”
“He’s a disgrace to our demon beast race! Stop him, kill him!”
Several Immortal Elders, seeing Ao Hong’s downfall, actually turned to attack him.
Poor Ao Hong had fallen to such a state!
“Boom!”
Under the Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong’s last protective artifact was destroyed.
His thoughts were interrupted by He’er, preventing him from using the escape technique.
If he were hit by another Fire Dragon Blast, his energy would become numb, rendering him unable to activate it, leading to a vicious cycle where he would eventually be worn down and killed by Shui Miao.
“I’ll fight you to the death!”
In desperation, to escape before Shui Miao could launch another Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong, relying on his powerful immortal body, suddenly caused several of his top-grade immortal artifacts to self-destruct around him!
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“…”
The massive shockwaves from the self-destruction of the immortal artifacts sent everyone flying.
Several weaker demon beasts were killed on the spot.
Shui Miao, protected by his supreme-grade protective pearl, was unharmed, merely being blown back several dozen meters.
Seeing that he had severely injured everyone, Ao Hong didn’t flee immediately. Instead, he flew towards He’er, who had also been blown away.
He intended to capture He’er and force her into dual cultivation to enhance his own power!
“Boom!”
He’er, possessing a spatial artifact, inspired by Ao Hong’s self-destruction, also caused her spatial artifact to self-destruct.
The self-destruction of the spatial artifact was relatively mild.
But it was precisely this self-destruction that delayed Ao Hong.
“Ao Hong, you had a chance to escape, but now you’re doomed!”
Shui Miao had already returned, launching the Fire Dragon Blast. The roar of the dragon echoed as the attack struck Ao Hong’s head with precision!
Ao Hong’s heart sank—it was over!
“Everyone, attack!”
“Kill the Immortal Emperor! Obtaining his aura will greatly benefit our cultivation!”
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we miss it, we’ll regret it forever.”
Having succeeded, Shui Miao, fearing Ao Hong might self-destruct and harm He’er, retreated, holding He’er’s waist and teleporting her into the Time Tower, while he himself flew to the side.
“Shui Miao, where is this? What are you doing?”
Suddenly finding herself in the Time Tower, He’er was a bit confused.
Shui Miao’s voice echoed in the Time Tower, “This is inside one of my artifacts. Ao Hong might resort to self-destruction, so it’s safer for you to stay here.”
Even in such a situation, she’s still thinking of my safety?
Realizing that Shui Miao was protecting her, He’er felt a surge of sweetness, warmth, and happiness.
“By the way, Shui Miao, since Ao Hong is almost done for, why did you let the demon beasts deal with him? After all, the body of an Immortal Emperor is an invaluable treasure,” He’er quickly asked, her thoughts racing.
“Ao Hong’s body is comparable to a supreme-grade immortal artifact. With my current strength and the artifacts I have, it’s impossible for me to kill him. I can only temporarily trap him,” Shui Miao watched from afar as the demon beasts attacked Ao Hong, his mind racing. The forging furnace inside the Time Tower automatically began to smelt the Nuwa Stone. “In this situation, I can only try one last method.”
“What method?” He’er eagerly asked.
“You’ll know when the time comes.”
Watching the pitiful Ao Hong being beaten by the demon beasts, Shui Miao thought to himself, “I’ll use the Nuwa Stone to forge an immortal artifact, even if it’s just a tiny needle. Then, I’ll use Ao Hong’s blood to temper it. Perhaps I can create a supreme artifact. At that point, I won’t believe I can’t kill Ao Hong!”
The Nuwa Stone was difficult to smelt, taking a long time to produce even a small amount of material.
But with that small amount, forging a needle was still possible.
However, embedding a formation within a needle was an extremely challenging task.
“You little brat, you think you’re so great just because you have a couple of top-tier immortal artifacts? I don’t believe that with so many of us, we can’t take you down! Everyone, charge! Kill him! Kill him!” Ao Hong, since escaping from the Sacred Demon Mountain and gathering with a large number of demon beasts, had collected all the magical treasures from everyone and kept them on himself as a precaution.
He instantly activated over thirty protective artifacts, forming a visible shield of light around his body.
He also possessed dozens of top-tier immortal artifacts and various magical treasures.
Ao Hong had actually noticed that Shui Miao’s strength and cultivation weren’t that impressive; he relied solely on a few top-tier immortal artifacts.
Now, in this open space, he had helpers, magical treasures, and had consumed many elixirs, restoring half of his cultivation. He didn’t believe that under these circumstances, he couldn’t defeat Shui Miao.
Indeed, Ao Hong’s subordinates were all strong.
The tens of thousands of demon beast army that attacked the Sacred Demon Mountain hadn’t suffered many losses. Most of the demon beasts Ao Hong kept by his side were at the level of Immortal Lords and Immortal Elders, the absolute elite of the demon beast race.
“…”
The demon beasts didn’t move, looking at each other, seemingly somewhat intimidated.
They couldn’t sense the strength and cultivation of the person before them, and this person had even forced Ao Hong to retreat several steps, indicating that he was definitely not an ordinary person.
It proved that demon beasts weren’t all mindless killers.
Moreover, Ao Hong himself had said that Shui Miao possessed two top-tier immortal artifacts. Everyone knew the immense power of top-tier immortal artifacts. No matter how foolish, they wouldn’t be foolish enough to pit their heads against such artifacts.
Now, all the decent immortal artifacts they had were taken by Ao Hong.
Bare-handed, what could they use to fight?
Thus, the demon beasts didn’t act rashly.
Shui Miao, clever and astute, immediately saw through their thoughts and sneered loudly, “The mighty Immortal Emperor, the leader of the demon beast race, actually hides behind others when he sees me, collects everyone’s magical treasures to save himself, and then sacrifices the lives of his unarmed subordinates to protect him. You, the Immortal Emperor, are truly unprecedented and unparalleled. I know the demon beast race values honor, fears no death, and is filled with righteous spirit. But today, we have you, Ao Hong, who has utterly disgraced the demon beast race. Even I, an outsider, feel ashamed for you. What right do you have to lead everyone? You selfish, self-centered wretch, if you have the guts, step forward and face me one-on-one.”
Shui Miao’s words were filled with overwhelming dominance and heroism.
In contrast, Ao Hong appeared despicable and lowly, earning everyone’s disdain.
Indeed, Shui Miao’s words resonated with the demon beasts, and they quickly dispersed, leaving Ao Hong and Shui Miao to face each other one-on-one.
“You little brat, who do you think you are? You think you’re so great just because you have a few top-tier immortal artifacts? I was careless and got ambushed by you earlier, and now you dare to challenge me here? You’re just asking for death!” Ao Hong had no way out. He channeled all his Emperor’s Qi, ready to attack Shui Miao at any moment.
This Ao Hong seems quite clumsy with words! Shui Miao sneered again, “So what if I have top-tier immortal artifacts? I crafted them myself. And you? You’re the Immortal Emperor, a supreme being who should command subordinates and dominate the heavens. But you act like a pitiful wretch, even lusting after He’er for dual cultivation. I’m truly ashamed for you. You, a third-rate, insignificant little dragon, aren’t even worthy of speaking to me.”
Shui Miao suddenly realized that his verbal skills were quite sharp too!
“You, you, you’re asking for death!”
Ao Hong, furious and humiliated, immediately activated five flying swords, directly attacking Shui Miao.
“Shameless! The Immortal Emperor resorts to sneak attacks!”
Shui Miao didn’t miss any opportunity to mock and belittle Ao Hong. At the same time, he activated the Time Pearl, swiftly dodging the flying swords and appearing at Ao Hong’s side. He immediately launched a Fire Dragon Blast, destroying several of Ao Hong’s protective artifacts. Before Ao Hong could fully react, Shui Miao swung his Ghost Head Blade, slashing Ao Hong’s clothes into tatters, leaving him in a miserable state.
“Haha! And you dare call yourself the leader of the demon beasts?” Shui Miao laughed loudly, returning to his original position. He grabbed the five flying swords and threw them towards the demon beasts, “Whose immortal artifacts are these? Take them back now!”
Inspired by Shui Miao, the demon beasts scrambled to retrieve their own artifacts.
Without waiting for Ao Hong to speak, Shui Miao activated the Time Pearl again, launching another Fire Dragon Blast and slashing fiercely!
Several more of Ao Hong’s protective artifacts were destroyed.
Shui Miao’s Ghost Head Blade slashed through several more protective artifacts.
※※※
Despite having protective artifacts and several top-tier immortal artifacts, Ao Hong was completely overwhelmed by Shui Miao’s attacks.
Shui Miao’s speed was simply too fast, leaving the demon beasts trembling with fear, and even He’er was stunned.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s combination of lightning attacks and fierce slashes with the Ghost Head Blade was perfectly executed, blending magical and physical attacks. With their inferior artifacts, how could they possibly withstand such an assault?

Everyone was focused on retrieving their own artifacts, with no one thinking of helping him.
“Despicable!”
“Shui Miao, I will remember today’s humiliation. I will come back for you! And when I do, it will be your death!”
In desperation, Ao Hong decided to flee before his last protective artifact was destroyed. If he didn’t escape now, he might never get another chance.
Immediately, Ao Hong channeled his energy, preparing to use an escape technique.
“Trying to run? Not so easy!”
Thinking quickly, Shui Miao increased his attack speed to the maximum.
“Shui Miao, I’ll help you…”
Suddenly, He’er spoke up.
He’er channeled all her spiritual energy, infiltrating Ao Hong’s mind, blocking his escape.
“Ao Hong, return my top-tier immortal artifact!”
“And my protective artifact…”
“He’s a disgrace to our demon beast race. Stop him, kill him!”
Several Immortal Elders, seeing Ao Hong’s downfall, actually turned to attack him.
Poor Ao Hong had fallen to such a state!
“Boom!”
Under the Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong’s last protective artifact was destroyed.
His thoughts were interrupted by He’er, preventing him from using the escape technique.
If he were hit by another Fire Dragon Blast, his energy would become numb, unable to be channeled, leading to a vicious cycle where he would eventually be worn down and killed by Shui Miao.
“I’ll fight you to the death!”
In a desperate attempt to escape before Shui Miao launched another Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong, relying on his powerful immortal body, suddenly detonated several top-tier immortal artifacts around him!
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“…”
The massive shockwaves from the artifact explosions instantly sent everyone flying.
Several weaker demon beasts were killed on the spot.
Shui Miao, protected by his top-tier protective pearl, was unharmed, merely being blown back several dozen meters.
Seeing that he had severely injured everyone, Ao Hong didn’t flee immediately. Instead, he flew towards He’er, who had also been blown away.
He intended to capture He’er, forcing her into dual cultivation to enhance his own power!
“Boom!”
He’er, possessing a spatial artifact, inspired by Ao Hong’s artifact explosion, also detonated her spatial artifact.
The explosion of the spatial artifact was relatively weak.
But it was precisely this explosion that delayed Ao Hong.
“Ao Hong, you had a chance to escape, but now you’re doomed!”
Shui Miao had already returned, launching a Fire Dragon Blast. The roar of the dragon echoed as the attack struck Ao Hong’s head directly!
Ao Hong’s heart sank. It’s over!
“Everyone, attack!”
“Kill the Immortal Emperor, absorb his essence. It will greatly benefit our cultivation.”
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we miss it, we’ll regret it forever.”
Shui Miao, having succeeded, worried that Ao Hong might self-destruct and harm He’er, retreated instead, holding He’er’s waist and teleporting her into the Time Tower, while he himself flew to the side.
“Shui Miao, where is this? What are you doing?”
Suddenly finding herself in the Time Tower, He’er was a bit confused.
Shui Miao’s voice echoed within the Time Tower, “This is inside one of my artifacts. Ao Hong might self-destruct, so it’s safer for you to hide here.”

Realizing that Shui Miao was protecting her, He’er felt a sweet warmth and happiness.
“By the way, Shui Miao, since Ao Hong is almost done for, why did you let the demon beasts deal with him? You know, the body of an Immortal Emperor is a priceless treasure,” He’er quickly asked, her thoughts racing.
“Ao Hong’s body is comparable to a top-tier immortal artifact. With my current strength and the artifacts I have, it’s impossible for me to kill him. I can only temporarily trap him,” Shui Miao watched from afar as the demon beasts attacked Ao Hong. Suddenly, he had an idea, and the forging furnace inside the Time Tower began to smelt the Nuwa Stone. “In this situation, I only have one last method to try.”

The Nuwa Stone was difficult to smelt, taking a long time to produce even a small amount of material.
But with that small amount, forging a needle was still possible.
However, embedding a formation within such a tiny needle was an extremely challenging task.
Before Ao Hong could speak, Shui Miao activated the Time Crystal Ball again, launching the Fire Dragon Strike once more against Ao Hong, followed by another furious cleaving attack!
Ao Hong’s protective magical artifacts were destroyed again, several at a time.
Shui Miao’s Demon Cleaver delivered another fierce onslaught, damaging several more protective artifacts.
※※※
“You little brat, you just have a couple of supreme-grade immortal artifacts, don’t you? I don’t believe that with so many of us, we can’t take you down! Everyone, attack together, kill him! Kill him!” After escaping from the Sacred Demon Mountain and gathering with a large number of demon beasts, Ao Hong collected all the magical treasures from everyone and kept them on himself as a precaution.
He instantly activated over thirty defensive artifacts, forming a visible shield of light around his body.
He also possessed dozens of top-grade immortal artifacts and various magical treasures.
Ao Hong had actually noticed that Shui Miao’s cultivation level wasn’t particularly high; he merely relied on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts.
Now, in this open space, with his subordinates, his treasures, and having consumed many elixirs to restore half of his cultivation, Ao Hong didn’t believe he couldn’t defeat Shui Miao under these circumstances.

“…”
The demon beasts didn’t move, glancing at each other, seemingly somewhat intimidated.
They couldn’t gauge the cultivation level of the person before them, and the fact that this person had forced Ao Hong to retreat several steps indicated that he was no ordinary individual.
It was clear that not all demon beasts were mindless brutes.
Moreover, Ao Hong himself had mentioned that Shui Miao possessed two supreme-grade immortal artifacts, whose immense power was well-known. Even the most foolish wouldn’t be so reckless as to pit their heads against such artifacts.
Now, with their better artifacts confiscated by Ao Hong, the demon beasts were left unarmed. What could they possibly use to fight?
Thus, the demon beasts refrained from acting rashly.
Shui Miao, clever and astute, immediately saw through their thoughts and sneered loudly, “The mighty Immortal Emperor, the leader of the demon beast race, actually hides behind others upon seeing me, confiscates everyone’s treasures to save himself, and then sends his unarmed subordinates to sacrifice their lives for his protection.

Enraged, Ao Hong immediately activated five flying swords, aiming directly at Shui Miao.
“Shameless! The Immortal Emperor resorts to sneak attacks!”
Shui Miao didn’t miss any opportunity to mock and belittle Ao Hong. At the same time, he activated the Time Pearl, swiftly dodging the flying swords and appearing at Ao Hong’s side. He then unleashed the Fire Dragon Blast, instantly destroying several of Ao Hong’s defensive artifacts. Before Ao Hong could fully react, Shui Miao swung his Ghost Head Blade wildly, shredding Ao Hong’s clothes and leaving him in a sorry state.
“Haha! And you dare to call yourself the leader of the demon beasts?” Shui Miao laughed heartily, returning to his original spot. He grabbed the five flying swords and threw them towards the demon beasts, “Whose artifacts are these? Take them back now!”
Inspired by Shui Miao, the demon beasts scrambled to retrieve their artifacts.
Without waiting for Ao Hong to speak, Shui Miao activated the Time Pearl again, launching another Fire Dragon Blast and a fierce slash!
Several more of Ao Hong’s defensive artifacts were destroyed.
Shui Miao’s Ghost Head Blade relentlessly hacked away, damaging several more defensive artifacts.
※※※
Despite having defensive artifacts and several top-grade immortal artifacts, Ao Hong was utterly overwhelmed by Shui Miao’s attacks.
Shui Miao’s speed was simply too fast, leaving the demon beasts trembling with fear and He’er wide-eyed in astonishment.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s combination of lightning attacks and the Ghost Head Blade’s slashes was perfectly executed, blending magical and physical attacks. With their artifacts inferior to Shui Miao’s, how could they possibly withstand such an assault?
Even more terrifying was Shui Miao’s psychological warfare, manipulating everyone’s thoughts and successfully isolating Ao Hong from the demon beast race. The demon beasts looked down on him, unwilling to associate with him, all eager to reclaim their artifacts, with no one considering helping him.
“Despicable!”
“Shui Miao, I will remember today’s humiliation. I will return, and that will be your death!”
In despair, Ao Hong decided to flee before his last defensive artifact was destroyed. If he didn’t escape now, he might never get another chance.
Immediately, Ao Hong channeled his energy, preparing to use an escape technique.
“Trying to escape? Not so easy!”
With a swift thought, Shui Miao accelerated his attacks, pushing his speed to the limit.

“And my defensive artifact…”
“He’s a disgrace to our demon beast race. Stop him, kill him!”
Several Immortal Elders, seeing Ao Hong’s downfall, actually turned to attack him.
Poor Ao Hong had fallen to such a state!
“Boom!”
Under the Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong’s last artifact was destroyed.
His thoughts were interrupted by He’er, preventing him from using the escape technique.

The explosion of the spatial artifact was relatively mild.
But precisely because of this explosion, Ao Hong’s time was delayed.
“Ao Hong, you had a chance to escape, but now you’re doomed!”
Shui Miao had already returned, launching the Fire Dragon Blast. The roar of the dragon echoed as the attack struck Ao Hong’s head with precision!

Having succeeded in his attack, Shui Miao, fearing Ao Hong might self-destruct and harm He’er, retreated, holding He’er’s waist and teleporting her into the Time Tower, while he himself flew to the side.
“Shui Miao, where is this? What are you doing?”
Suddenly finding herself in the Time Tower, He’er was a bit confused.
Shui Miao’s voice echoed within the tower, “This is inside one of my artifacts. Ao Hong might self-destruct his demon body, so it’s best for you to hide here.”
Even in such a situation, she’s still considering my safety?
Realizing that Shui Miao was protecting her, He’er felt a surge of sweetness, warmth, and happiness.
“By the way, Shui Miao, since Ao Hong is almost finished, why did you let the demon beasts deal with him? You know, the Immortal Emperor’s demon body is an invaluable treasure,” He’er quickly asked, her thoughts racing.
“Ao Hong’s demon body is comparable to a supreme-grade immortal artifact. With my current strength and the artifacts I have, it’s impossible to kill him. I can only temporarily trap him,” Shui Miao watched from afar as the demon beasts attacked Ao Hong. Suddenly, his thoughts shifted, and the forging furnace inside the Time Tower began to smelt the Nuwa Stone. “In this situation, I only have one last method to try.”
“What method?” He’er eagerly inquired.
“You’ll know when the time comes.”
Watching the pitiful Ao Hong being beaten by the demon beasts, Shui Miao thought to himself, “I’ll use the Nuwa Stone to forge an artifact, even if it’s just a tiny needle. Then, I’ll use Ao Hong’s blood to quench it. Perhaps I can create a supreme artifact. At that point, I won’t believe I can’t kill this Ao Hong!”
The Nuwa Stone is difficult to smelt, taking a long time to produce even a small amount of material.
But with this small amount of material, forging a needle is still possible.
However, embedding a formation within a needle is an extremely challenging task.
“You little brat, you only have a couple of supreme-grade immortal artifacts, right? I don’t believe that with so many of us, we can’t take you down! Everyone, charge! Kill him! Kill him!” Ao Hong, ever since escaping from the Sacred Demon Mountain and gathering a large number of demon beasts, had collected all their magical treasures and kept them on himself as a precaution.
In an instant, he activated over thirty defensive artifacts, forming a visible shield of light around his body.
He also possessed dozens of top-tier immortal artifacts and various magical treasures.
Ao Hong had indeed noticed that Shui Miao’s cultivation level wasn’t particularly high, relying solely on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts.
Now, in this open space, with his subordinates, his arsenal of treasures, and having consumed numerous elixirs to restore half of his cultivation, he couldn’t believe that he still couldn’t defeat Shui Miao.
Indeed, Ao Hong’s subordinates were all formidable.
The tens of thousands of demon beasts that attacked the Sacred Demon Mountain hadn’t suffered many losses. Most of the demon beasts Ao Hong kept by his side were at the level of Immortal Lords and Immortal Elders, the absolute elite of the demon beast clan.
“…”
The demon beasts didn’t move, exchanging glances, seemingly wary.

Unarmed, what could they possibly use to fight?
Thus, the demon beasts remained cautious.
Shui Miao, clever and astute, immediately saw through their thoughts and sneered loudly, “The mighty Immortal Emperor, the leader of the demon beast clan, actually hides behind others upon seeing me, taking everyone’s treasures to save himself while leaving his unarmed subordinates to sacrifice their lives to protect him. You, the Immortal Emperor, are truly unprecedented and unparalleled. I know the demon beast clan values honor above all, fearless and righteous, but today, we have you, Ao Hong, who has brought shame to the entire clan. Even I, an outsider, feel embarrassed for you. How dare you lead them, you selfish, pitiful worm? If you have the guts, step forward and face me one-on-one.”
Shui Miao’s words were filled with dominance and valor.
In contrast, Ao Hong appeared despicable and lowly, earning everyone’s disdain.
Indeed, Shui Miao’s words resonated with the demon beasts, who quickly dispersed, leaving Ao Hong and Shui Miao to face each other alone.
“You little brat, who do you think you are? You only rely on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts! I was careless before and got ambushed by you, but now you dare to challenge me so arrogantly? You’re just asking for death!” Ao Hong, with no way out, channeled all his emperor’s energy, ready to attack Shui Miao at any moment.
This Ao Hong seems quite clumsy with his words! Shui Miao sneered again, “So what if I have supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I forged them myself. And you? You’re the Immortal Emperor, a supreme being who should command respect and awe. But you act like a pitiful worm, even lusting after He’er for dual cultivation. I’m truly ashamed for you.

Shui Miao didn’t miss any opportunity to mock and belittle Ao Hong. Simultaneously, he activated the Time Pearl, swiftly dodging the flying swords and appearing at Ao Hong’s side. He then unleashed the Fire Dragon Blast, instantly destroying several of Ao Hong’s defensive artifacts. Before Ao Hong could fully react, Shui Miao swung his Ghost Head Blade, slashing Ao Hong’s clothes into tatters, leaving him in a pitiful state.
“Haha! And you dare call yourself the leader of the demon beasts?” Shui Miao laughed heartily, returning to his original position. He grabbed the five flying swords and threw them towards the demon beasts, “Whose immortal artifacts are these? Take them back now!”
Inspired by Shui Miao, the demon beasts scrambled to retrieve their artifacts.
Without waiting for Ao Hong to speak, Shui Miao activated the Time Pearl again, launching another Fire Dragon Blast and a series of fierce slashes!
Several more of Ao Hong’s defensive artifacts were destroyed.
Shui Miao’s Ghost Head Blade relentlessly hacked away, damaging several more defensive artifacts.
※※※
Despite having defensive artifacts and several top-tier immortal artifacts, Ao Hong was completely overwhelmed by Shui Miao’s attacks.
Shui Miao’s speed was simply too fast, leaving the demon beasts trembling with fear and He’er utterly stunned.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s combination of lightning attacks and fierce slashes with the Ghost Head Blade was perfectly executed, blending magical and physical assaults. With their inferior artifacts, how could they possibly withstand such an onslaught?
Even more terrifying was that while Shui Miao was unleashing a storm of attacks on Ao Hong, he was also waging psychological warfare, manipulating everyone’s thoughts, successfully isolating Ao Hong from the demon beast clan. The demon beasts now looked down on him, unwilling to stand by his side, all eager to reclaim their artifacts, with no one considering helping him.
“Damn it!”
“Shui Miao, I’ll remember today’s humiliation. I’ll come back for you! When that time comes, it will be your death!”
In despair, Ao Hong decided to flee before his last defensive artifact was destroyed. If he didn’t escape now, he might never get another chance.
Immediately, Ao Hong channeled his energy, preparing to use an escape technique.
“Trying to run? Not so easy!”
With a swift thought, Shui Miao accelerated his attacks, pushing his speed to the limit.

Several Immortal Elders, seeing Ao Hong’s downfall, actually turned to attack him.
Poor Ao Hong had fallen to such a state!
“Boom!”
Under the Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong’s last defensive artifact was destroyed.
His thoughts were disrupted by He’er, preventing him from using the escape technique.
If he were hit by another Fire Dragon Blast, his energy would become numb, unable to be channeled, leading to a vicious cycle where he would be slowly worn down and eventually killed by Shui Miao.
“I’ll fight you to the death!”
In desperation, to escape before Shui Miao launched another Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong, relying on his robust immortal body, suddenly detonated several top-tier immortal artifacts around him!
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“…”
The massive shockwaves from the artifact explosions swept everyone away.
Several weaker demon beasts were instantly killed.
Shui Miao, protected by his supreme-grade defensive pearl, was unharmed, merely blown back a few dozen meters.
Seeing that he had severely injured everyone, Ao Hong didn’t flee immediately. Instead, he flew towards He’er, who had also been blown away.
He intended to capture He’er, forcing her into dual cultivation to enhance his power!
“Boom!”
He’er, possessing a spatial artifact, inspired by Ao Hong’s self-detonation, also detonated her spatial artifact.
The explosion of the spatial artifact was relatively mild.
But it was precisely this explosion that delayed Ao Hong.
“Ao Hong, you had your chance to escape. Now, you’re doomed!”
Shui Miao had already returned, launching the Fire Dragon Blast. The roar of the dragon echoed as the attack struck Ao Hong’s head directly!
Ao Hong’s heart sank. It was over!
“Everyone, attack!”
“Kill the Immortal Emperor, seize his essence. It will greatly benefit our cultivation.”
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we miss it, we’ll regret it forever.”
Having successfully struck, Shui Miao, fearing Ao Hong might self-destruct and harm He’er, retreated, holding He’er’s waist and teleporting her into the Time Tower, while he himself flew to a safe distance.
“Shui Miao, where is this? What are you doing?”
Suddenly inside the Time Tower, He’er was a bit confused.
Shui Miao’s voice echoed within the tower, “This is inside one of my artifacts. Ao Hong might resort to self-destruction, so it’s best for you to hide here.”
Even in such a situation, she’s still considering my safety?
Realizing Shui Miao was protecting her, He’er felt a sweet warmth and happiness.
“By the way, Shui Miao, since Ao Hong is almost done for, why did you let the demon beasts deal with him? After all, the Immortal Emperor’s body is a priceless treasure,” He’er quickly asked, her thoughts racing.
“Ao Hong’s body is comparable to a supreme-grade immortal artifact. With my current strength and the artifacts I have, it’s impossible for me to kill him. I can only temporarily trap him,” Shui Miao watched from afar as the demon beasts attacked Ao Hong. Suddenly, he had an idea and began using the Time Tower’s forging furnace to smelt the Nuwa Stone. “In this situation, I only have one last method to try.”
“What method?” He’er eagerly inquired.
“You’ll know when the time comes.”
Watching the pitiful Ao Hong being beaten by the demon beasts, Shui Miao thought to himself, “I’ll use the Nuwa Stone to forge an immortal artifact, even if it’s just a tiny needle. Then, I’ll use Ao Hong’s blood to temper it. Perhaps I can create a supreme artifact. At that point, I won’t believe I can’t kill this Ao Hong.”
The Nuwa Stone was difficult to smelt, taking a long time to produce even a small amount of material.
But with this small amount, forging a needle was still possible.
However, embedding a formation within such a tiny needle was an extremely challenging task.
“You little brat, you think you’re so great just because you have a couple of supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I don’t believe that with so many of us, we can’t take you down! Everyone, attack together! Kill him! Kill him!” Ao Hong, since escaping from the Sacred Demon Mountain and gathering with a large number of demon beasts, had collected all the magical treasures from everyone and kept them on himself as a precaution.
He instantly activated over thirty protective artifacts, forming a visible shield of light around his body.
He also possessed dozens of top-grade immortal artifacts and various magical treasures.
Ao Hong had actually realized that Shui Miao’s cultivation level wasn’t that impressive, relying solely on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts.
Now, in this open space, he had allies, magical treasures, and had consumed many elixirs, restoring half of his cultivation. He didn’t believe that under such circumstances, he couldn’t defeat Shui Miao.
Indeed, Ao Hong’s subordinates were all powerful beings.
The tens of thousands of demon beasts that attacked the Sacred Demon Mountain hadn’t suffered many losses. Most of the demon beasts Ao Hong kept by his side were at the level of Immortal Lords and Immortal Elders, the absolute elite of the demon beast race.
“…”
The demon beasts didn’t move, looking at each other, seemingly somewhat intimidated.
They couldn’t sense the cultivation level of the person before them, and the fact that this person had forced Ao Hong to retreat several steps indicated that he was no ordinary individual.
It proved that demon beasts weren’t all mindless killing machines.
Moreover, Ao Hong himself had mentioned that Shui Miao possessed two supreme-grade immortal artifacts. The power of such artifacts was immense, and everyone knew that. No matter how foolish, no one would be stupid enough to pit their head against a supreme-grade immortal artifact.
Now, all the decent immortal artifacts had been taken by Ao Hong.
With bare hands, what could they use to fight?
Thus, the demon beasts didn’t act rashly.
Shui Miao, clever and astute, saw through their thoughts and sneered loudly, “The mighty Immortal Emperor, the leader of the demon beast race, actually hides behind others, taking everyone’s magical treasures to save himself, while leaving his unarmed subordinates to sacrifice their lives to protect him. You, the Immortal Emperor, are truly unprecedented and unparalleled. I know the demon beast race values honor, fears no death, and is filled with righteous spirit. But today, we have you, Ao Hong, who has utterly disgraced the demon beast race. Even I, an outsider, feel ashamed for you. What right do you have to lead everyone? You selfish, self-centered wretch, if you have the guts, step forward and face me one-on-one.”
Shui Miao’s words were filled with dominance and heroism.
In contrast, Ao Hong appeared despicable and lowly, earning everyone’s disdain.
Indeed, Shui Miao’s words resonated with the demon beasts, who quickly dispersed, leaving Ao Hong and Shui Miao to face each other alone.
“You little brat, who do you think you are? You rely on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I was careless and got ambushed by you earlier, but now you dare to challenge me to a duel? You’re asking for death!” Ao Hong had no way out. He channeled all his Emperor’s Qi, ready to attack Shui Miao at any moment.
Ao Hong’s mouth seemed quite clumsy! Shui Miao sneered again, “So what if I have supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I crafted them myself. And you? You’re the Immortal Emperor, a being who should stand above all, commanding subordinates and ruling the heavens. Yet, you act like a pitiful worm, even shamelessly wanting to dual cultivate with He’er. I’m truly ashamed for you. A third-rate, insignificant dragon like you isn’t even worthy of speaking to me.”
Shui Miao suddenly realized that his verbal skills were quite sharp!
“You, you, you’re asking for death!”
Ao Hong, furious, immediately activated five flying swords, aiming directly at Shui Miao.
“Shameless! The Immortal Emperor resorts to sneak attacks!”
Shui Miao didn’t miss any opportunity to mock and belittle Ao Hong. At the same time, he activated the Time Pearl, dodging the flying swords and appearing beside Ao Hong. He immediately launched a Fire Dragon Blast, destroying several of Ao Hong’s protective artifacts. Before Ao Hong could fully react, Shui Miao swung his Ghost Head Blade, slashing Ao Hong’s clothes into tatters, leaving him in a sorry state.
“Haha! And you dare to call yourself the leader of the demon beasts?” Shui Miao laughed loudly, returning to his original position. He grabbed the five flying swords and threw them towards the demon beasts, “Whose immortal artifacts are these? Take them back now!”
Inspired by Shui Miao, the demon beasts scrambled to retrieve their own artifacts.
Without waiting for Ao Hong to speak, Shui Miao activated the Time Pearl again, launching another Fire Dragon Blast and slashing fiercely!
Several more of Ao Hong’s protective artifacts were destroyed.
Shui Miao’s Ghost Head Blade slashed through several more protective artifacts.
※※※
Despite having protective artifacts and several top-grade immortal artifacts, Ao Hong was completely overwhelmed by Shui Miao’s attacks.
Shui Miao’s speed was terrifyingly fast, leaving the demon beasts trembling with fear, and He’er was also stunned.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s combination of lightning attacks and fierce slashes with the Ghost Head Blade was perfectly executed. With both magical and physical attacks, and with Ao Hong’s artifacts inferior to Shui Miao’s, how could he possibly withstand it?
Even more terrifying was that while Shui Miao launched a relentless assault on Ao Hong, he also employed psychological warfare, swaying everyone’s thoughts, successfully isolating Ao Hong from the demon beast race, making them look down on him and unwilling to side with him. Everyone was focused on retrieving their own artifacts, with no one thinking of helping him.
“Despicable!”
“Shui Miao, I will remember today’s humiliation. I will return, and that will be your death!”
In despair, Ao Hong decided to flee before his last protective artifact was destroyed. If he didn’t escape now, he might never get another chance.
Immediately, Ao Hong channeled his energy, preparing to use an escape technique.
“Trying to escape? Not so easy!”
Shui Miao’s thoughts raced, and he increased his attack speed to the maximum.
“Shui Miao, I’ll help you…”
Suddenly, He’er spoke up.
He’er channeled all her spiritual power, infiltrating Ao Hong’s mind, blocking his escape.
“Ao Hong, return my top-grade immortal artifact!”
“And my protective artifact…”
“He is a disgrace to our demon beast race. Stop him, kill him!”
Several Immortal Elders, seeing Ao Hong’s downfall, actually turned to attack him.
Poor Ao Hong had fallen to such a state!
“Boom!”
Under the Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong’s last protective artifact was destroyed.
His thoughts were interrupted by He’er, preventing him from using the escape technique.
If he were hit by another Fire Dragon Blast, his energy would become numb, unable to be channeled, leading to a vicious cycle where he would eventually be exhausted to death by Shui Miao.
“I’ll fight you all!”
In desperation, to escape before Shui Miao launched another Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong, relying on his powerful immortal body, suddenly caused several top-grade immortal artifacts in his hands to self-destruct around him!
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“…”
The shockwave from the self-destruction of the immortal artifacts swept over everyone, instantly blowing them away.
Several weaker demon beasts were killed on the spot.
Shui Miao, protected by his supreme-grade protective pearl, was unharmed, only blown back a few dozen meters.
Seeing that he had severely injured everyone, Ao Hong didn’t flee immediately. Instead, he flew towards He’er, who had also been blown away.
He intended to capture He’er and force her to dual cultivate with him to enhance his cultivation!
“Boom!”
He’er, possessing a spatial artifact, inspired by Ao Hong’s self-destruction, also self-destructed her spatial artifact.
The self-destruction of the spatial artifact was relatively weak.
But precisely because of this, it delayed Ao Hong’s time.
“Ao Hong, you had a chance to escape, but now you’re doomed!”
Shui Miao had already returned, launching a Fire Dragon Blast. The roar of the dragon echoed, striking Ao Hong’s head directly!
Ao Hong’s heart sank. It was over!
“Everyone, attack!”
“Kill the Immortal Emperor, obtain his aura. It will greatly benefit our cultivation.”
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we miss it, we’ll regret it forever.”
Shui Miao, having succeeded, worried that Ao Hong might self-destruct and harm He’er, so he retreated, holding He’er’s waist, and directly moved her into the Time Tower, while he himself flew to the side.
“Shui Miao, where is this? What are you doing?”
Suddenly entering the Time Tower, He’er was a bit confused.
Shui Miao’s thoughts stirred, and his voice echoed within the Time Tower, “This is inside one of my artifacts. Ao Hong might self-destruct his demon body, so it’s better for you to hide here.”
Even in such a situation, she was still considering my safety?
Realizing that Shui Miao was protecting her, He’er felt a sweet warmth and happiness.
“By the way, Shui Miao, since Ao Hong is almost done for, why did you let the demon beasts deal with him? You know, the Immortal Emperor’s demon body is a priceless treasure.” He’er’s thoughts raced, and she quickly asked.
“Ao Hong’s demon body is comparable to a supreme-grade immortal artifact. With my current strength and the artifacts I have, it’s impossible to kill him. I can only temporarily trap him.” Shui Miao watched from afar as the demon beasts attacked Ao Hong. Suddenly, his thoughts shifted, and the forging furnace inside the Time Tower automatically began to smelt the Nuwa Stone. “In this situation, I only have one last method to try.”
“What method?” He’er quickly asked.
“You’ll know when the time comes.”
Watching the pitiful Ao Hong being beaten by the demon beasts, Shui Miao thought to himself, “I will use the Nuwa Stone to forge an immortal artifact, even if it’s just a tiny needle. Then, I’ll use Ao Hong’s blood to quench it. Perhaps I can create a supreme artifact. At that time, I won’t believe I can’t kill this Ao Hong!”
The Nuwa Stone was difficult to smelt, taking a long time to produce even a small amount of material.
But with this small amount of material, forging a needle was still possible.
However, embedding a formation within a needle was an extremely difficult task.
“Brat, you only have a couple of supreme-grade immortal artifacts, right? I don’t believe that with so many of us, we can’t take you down! Everyone, charge! Kill him! Kill him!” After escaping from the Sacred Demon Mountain and gathering with a large number of demon beasts, Ao Hong had collected all their magical treasures and kept them on himself as a precaution.
In an instant, he activated over thirty defensive artifacts, forming a visible shield of light around his body.
He also possessed dozens of top-tier immortal artifacts and various other magical treasures.
Ao Hong had already noticed that Shui Miao’s cultivation level wasn’t particularly impressive; he relied solely on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts.
Now, in this open space, with his subordinates, his treasures, and having consumed numerous elixirs to restore half of his cultivation, Ao Hong didn’t believe he couldn’t defeat Shui Miao.
Indeed, Ao Hong’s subordinates were all formidable.
The tens of thousands of demon beasts that had attacked the Sacred Demon Mountain had suffered minimal losses. Most of the beasts Ao Hong kept by his side were at the level of Immortal Lords or Immortal Elders, the absolute elite of the demon beast race.
“…”
The demon beasts didn’t move. They exchanged glances, seemingly wary.
They couldn’t gauge the cultivation level of the person before them, and the fact that this person had forced Ao Hong to retreat several steps indicated that he was no ordinary individual.
It was clear that demon beasts weren’t all mindless brutes.
Moreover, Ao Hong himself had mentioned that Shui Miao possessed two supreme-grade immortal artifacts. Everyone knew the immense power of such artifacts. No matter how foolish, no one would be stupid enough to pit their head against a supreme-grade immortal artifact.
Now, with their better artifacts confiscated by Ao Hong, the demon beasts were left empty-handed. What could they possibly use to fight?
Thus, the demon beasts hesitated.
Shui Miao, clever and sharp, immediately saw through their thoughts and sneered loudly, “The mighty Immortal Emperor, the leader of the demon beast race, actually hides behind others, confiscating their treasures to save himself while sending his unarmed subordinates to sacrifice their lives for him. You’re truly one of a kind, Ao Hong. I know the demon beast race values honor, fearlessness, and righteousness, but today, you’ve brought shame to your entire race. Even I, an outsider, feel embarrassed for you. How can you lead anyone? You’re nothing but a selfish, pitiful worm. If you have the guts, step forward and face me one-on-one.”
Shui Miao’s words were filled with dominance and valor.
In contrast, Ao Hong appeared cowardly and despicable, earning the disdain of everyone.
Indeed, Shui Miao’s speech resonated with the demon beasts. They began to disperse, leaving Ao Hong and Shui Miao to face each other alone.
“Brat, who do you think you are? You’re just relying on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts! I was careless earlier and got ambushed by you. Now you dare to challenge me to a duel? You’re asking for death!” Ao Hong, with no way out, channeled his full emperor’s aura, ready to attack Shui Miao at any moment.
Ao Hong’s words seemed clumsy. Shui Miao sneered again, “So what if I have supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I forged them myself. And you? You’re an Immortal Emperor, a being who should stand above all, commanding subordinates and shaking the heavens. Yet you act like a pitiful worm, even lusting after He’er for dual cultivation. I’m ashamed for you. A third-rate, insignificant dragon like you doesn’t deserve to speak to me.”
Shui Miao suddenly realized his verbal skills were quite sharp.
“You… you’re asking for death!”
Enraged, Ao Hong immediately summoned five flying swords, aiming directly at Shui Miao.
“Shameless! An Immortal Emperor resorting to sneak attacks!”
Shui Miao didn’t miss any opportunity to belittle Ao Hong. Simultaneously, he activated the Time Pearl, dodging the swords and appearing beside Ao Hong. He unleashed a Fire Dragon Blast, destroying several of Ao Hong’s defensive artifacts. Before Ao Hong could react, Shui Miao swung his Ghost Head Blade, slashing Ao Hong’s clothes into tatters, leaving him in a sorry state.
“Haha! And you dare call yourself the leader of the demon beasts?” Shui Miao laughed heartily, returning to his original position. He grabbed the five flying swords and threw them toward the demon beasts, “Whose artifacts are these? Take them back!”
Inspired by Shui Miao, the demon beasts scrambled to retrieve their artifacts.
Without waiting for Ao Hong to speak, Shui Miao activated the Time Pearl again, launching another Fire Dragon Blast and slashing fiercely!
Several more of Ao Hong’s defensive artifacts were destroyed.
Shui Miao’s Ghost Head Blade hacked away, damaging several more defensive artifacts.
※※※
Despite having defensive artifacts and several top-tier immortal artifacts, Ao Hong was utterly overwhelmed by Shui Miao’s attacks.
Shui Miao’s speed was terrifying. The demon beasts watched in fear, and even He’er was stunned.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s combination of lightning attacks and fierce slashes with the Ghost Head Blade was perfectly executed. With both magical and physical attacks, how could Ao Hong withstand them when his artifacts were inferior to Shui Miao’s?
Even more terrifying was that while Shui Miao relentlessly attacked Ao Hong, he also waged psychological warfare, successfully isolating Ao Hong from the demon beasts. They began to despise him, unwilling to stand by his side, all eager to reclaim their artifacts. No one thought of helping him.
“Damn it!”
“Shui Miao, I’ll remember today’s humiliation. I’ll come back for you! That day will be your death!”
In despair, Ao Hong decided to flee before his last defensive artifact was destroyed. If he didn’t escape now, he might never get another chance.
Immediately, Ao Hong began to channel his energy, preparing to use an escape technique.
“Trying to run? Not so easy!”
Thinking quickly, Shui Miao accelerated his attacks, pushing his speed to the limit.
“Shui Miao, I’ll help you…”
Suddenly, He’er spoke up.
He’er focused her mental energy, infiltrating Ao Hong’s thoughts, blocking his escape.
“Ao Hong, return my top-tier immortal artifact!”
“And my defensive artifact…”
“He’s a disgrace to our demon beast race. Stop him, kill him!”
Several Immortal Elders, seeing Ao Hong’s downfall, turned against him, attacking him mercilessly.
Poor Ao Hong had fallen to such a pitiful state!
“Boom!”
Under the Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong’s last defensive artifact was destroyed.
His thoughts were disrupted by He’er, preventing him from using the escape technique.
If he were hit by another Fire Dragon Blast, his energy would become paralyzed, unable to be channeled, leading to a vicious cycle. Eventually, Shui Miao would exhaust him to death.
“I’ll fight you all!”
In desperation, Ao Hong, relying on his powerful immortal body, decided to self-destruct several of his top-tier immortal artifacts around him.
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“…”
The massive shockwaves from the self-destruction sent everyone flying.
Several weaker demon beasts were killed on the spot.
Shui Miao, protected by his supreme-grade defensive pearl, was unharmed, merely blown back a few dozen meters.
Seeing the devastation, Ao Hong didn’t flee immediately. Instead, he flew toward He’er, who had also been blown away.
He intended to capture He’er and force her into dual cultivation to enhance his power!
“Boom!”
He’er, possessing a spatial artifact, inspired by Ao Hong’s self-destruction, detonated her own spatial artifact.
The explosion was relatively weak.
But it was enough to delay Ao Hong.
“Ao Hong, you had a chance to escape, but now you’re doomed!”
Shui Miao had already returned, launching another Fire Dragon Blast. The dragon’s roar echoed as the attack struck Ao Hong’s head directly!
Ao Hong’s heart sank. It was over.
“Everyone, attack!”
“Kill the Immortal Emperor! His essence will greatly benefit our cultivation.”
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we miss it, we’ll regret it forever.”
Shui Miao, having struck successfully, worried that Ao Hong might self-destruct and harm He’er, retreated instead. He grabbed He’er’s waist and teleported her into the Time Tower, then flew to the side.
“Shui Miao, where is this? What are you doing?”
Suddenly inside the Time Tower, He’er was confused.
Shui Miao’s voice echoed within the tower, “This is inside one of my artifacts. Ao Hong might self-destruct, so it’s safer for you to stay here.”
Even in such a situation, he’s still thinking of my safety?
Realizing Shui Miao’s intentions, He’er felt a surge of sweetness, warmth, and happiness.
“Shui Miao, since Ao Hong is almost finished, why are you letting the demon beasts deal with him? The body of an Immortal Emperor is a priceless treasure,” He’er quickly asked.
“Ao Hong’s body is comparable to a supreme-grade immortal artifact. With my current strength and artifacts, I can’t kill him directly. I can only trap him for now,” Shui Miao watched as the demon beasts attacked Ao Hong. Suddenly, he had an idea. The forging furnace inside the Time Tower began to smelt the Nuwa Stone. “In this situation, I’ll have to try one last method.”
“What method?” He’er pressed.
“You’ll see.”
Watching the pitiful Ao Hong being beaten by the demon beasts, Shui Miao thought to himself, “I’ll use the Nuwa Stone to forge an artifact, even if it’s just a tiny needle. Then, I’ll temper it with Ao Hong’s blood. Perhaps I can create a supreme artifact. Then, I’ll see if I can’t kill this Ao Hong.”
The Nuwa Stone was difficult to smelt. It took a long time to extract even a small amount of material.
But with that small amount, forging a needle was possible.
However, embedding a formation within a needle was an extremely challenging task.
“Damn it!”
“Shui Miao, I’ll remember this humiliation today. I’ll come back for you! That will be your doom!”
In desperation, Ao Hong decided to flee while his last protective artifact hadn’t been destroyed yet. If he didn’t escape now, he might never get another chance.
Immediately, Ao Hong began channeling his spiritual energy, preparing to use the escape technique.
“Want to escape? Not so easily!”
Thinking quickly, Shui Miao immediately increased his attack speed, pushing his speed to the limit.
“Shui Miao, let me help you…”
Suddenly, He’er spoke up.
He’er fully activated her mental energy, infiltrating Ao Hong’s mind to block his escape.
“You little brat, you think just because you have a couple of supreme-grade immortal artifacts, I can’t believe that with so many of us, we can’t take you down! Everyone, attack together, kill him! Kill him!” Ao Hong, after escaping from the Sacred Demon Mountain and gathering with a large number of demon beasts, had collected all the magical treasures from everyone and kept them on himself as a precaution.

Now, in this open space, with his subordinates, his treasures, and having consumed many elixirs to restore half of his cultivation, he didn’t believe he couldn’t defeat Shui Miao under these circumstances.
Indeed, Ao Hong’s subordinates were all strong.
The tens of thousands of demon beast army that attacked the Sacred Demon Mountain didn’t suffer many losses. Most of the demon beasts Ao Hong kept by his side were at the level of Immortal Lords and Immortal Elders, the absolute elite of the demon beast race.
“…”
The demon beasts didn’t move, looking at each other, seemingly somewhat intimidated.
They couldn’t detect the cultivation level of the person in front of them, and the fact that this person had scared Ao Hong back several steps indicated that he was definitely not an ordinary person.
It proved that demon beasts weren’t all mindless killers.
Moreover, Ao Hong himself had mentioned that Shui Miao possessed two supreme-grade immortal artifacts. The immense power of such artifacts was well-known. Even the dumbest wouldn’t be foolish enough to clash head-on with supreme-grade immortal artifacts.
Now, the better artifacts everyone had were taken by Ao Hong.
With bare hands, what could they possibly use to fight?
Thus, the demon beasts didn’t act rashly.
Shui Miao, clever and astute, immediately saw through their thoughts and sneered loudly, “The great Immortal Emperor, the leader of the demon beast race, actually hides behind others upon seeing me, collects everyone’s treasures to save himself, yet expects his unarmed subordinates to sacrifice their lives to protect him. You, the Immortal Emperor, are truly unprecedented and unparalleled. I know the demon beast race values honor above all, fearless of death, righteous and heroic divine beasts. But today, we have you, Ao Hong, who has utterly disgraced the demon beast race. Even I, an outsider, blush for you. What right do you have to lead everyone? You selfish, self-centered wretch, if you have the guts, step forward and face me one-on-one.”
Shui Miao’s words were filled with dominance and heroism.
In contrast, Ao Hong appeared despicable and lowly, earning everyone’s disdain.
Indeed, Shui Miao’s words resonated with the demon beasts, who scattered, leaving Ao Hong and Shui Miao to face each other alone.
“You little brat, who do you think you are? Just because you have a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts, you dare to challenge me? I was careless and got ambushed by you before, but now you dare to boast and challenge me? You’re seeking death!” Ao Hong, with no way out, fully activated his emperor’s aura, ready to attack Shui Miao at any moment.
Ao Hong’s mouth seems quite clumsy! Shui Miao sneered again, “What if I have supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I crafted them myself. And you? You’re the Immortal Emperor, a supreme being who should lead subordinates and dominate the nine heavens. But you act like a pitiful wretch, even shamelessly wanting to dual cultivate with He’er. I’m truly ashamed for you. You, a third-rate villainous dragon, aren’t even worthy to speak to me.”
Shui Miao suddenly realized his verbal skills were quite sharp!
“You, you, you’re seeking death!”
Ao Hong, furious, immediately activated five flying swords, directly attacking Shui Miao.
“Shameless! The Immortal Emperor resorts to sneak attacks!”
Shui Miao didn’t miss any chance to mock and belittle Ao Hong, while simultaneously activating the Time Pearl, dodging the flying swords, and appearing at Ao Hong’s side. He then launched a Fire Dragon Strike, instantly destroying several of Ao Hong’s protective artifacts. Before Ao Hong could fully react, Shui Miao swung his Ghost Head Blade, slashing Ao Hong’s clothes into tatters, leaving him in a sorry state.
“Haha! And you dare to call yourself the leader of the demon beasts?” Shui Miao laughed loudly, returning to his original position, grabbing the five flying swords, and throwing them towards the demon beasts, “Whose artifacts are these? Take them now!”

Without waiting for Ao Hong to speak, Shui Miao activated the Time Pearl again, launching another Fire Dragon Strike and slashing fiercely!
Several more of Ao Hong’s protective artifacts were destroyed.
Shui Miao’s Ghost Head Blade slashed through several more protective artifacts.
※※※
Despite having protective artifacts and several top-grade immortal artifacts, Ao Hong was completely overwhelmed by Shui Miao’s attacks.
Shui Miao’s speed was terrifyingly fast, leaving the demon beasts trembling with fear, and He’er was also stunned.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s combination of lightning attacks and fierce slashes with the Ghost Head Blade was perfectly executed, blending magical and physical attacks. With inferior artifacts, how could Ao Hong possibly withstand such an assault?
Even more terrifying, while Shui Miao launched a relentless attack on Ao Hong, he also employed psychological warfare, swaying the thoughts of the demon beasts, successfully isolating Ao Hong from the demon beast race, making them look down on him, unwilling to ally with him, all eager to reclaim their artifacts, none considering helping him.
“Despicable!”
“Shui Miao, I will remember today’s humiliation, I will return for you! When that time comes, it will be your death!”
In despair, Ao Hong decided to flee before his last protective artifact was destroyed. If he didn’t escape now, he might never get another chance.

Suddenly, He’er spoke up.
He’er fully activated her mental energy, infiltrating Ao Hong’s thoughts, blocking his escape.
“Ao Hong, return my top-grade immortal artifact!”
“And my protective artifact…”
“He’s a disgrace to our demon beast race, stop him, kill him!”
Several Immortal Elders, seeing Ao Hong’s downfall, actually turned to attack him.
Poor Ao Hong, reduced to such a state!
“Boom!”
Under the Fire Dragon Strike, Ao Hong’s last protective artifact was destroyed.
His thoughts were interrupted by He’er, preventing him from using the escape technique.
If he were hit by another Fire Dragon Strike, his energy would become numb, unable to be activated, leading to a vicious cycle, ultimately being worn down to death by Shui Miao.
“I’ll fight you all!”
In desperation, to escape before Shui Miao launched another Fire Dragon Strike, Ao Hong, relying on his robust immortal body, suddenly detonated several top-grade immortal artifacts around him!
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“…”
The massive shockwave from the artifact explosions instantly sent everyone flying.
Several weaker demon beasts were killed on the spot.
Shui Miao, protected by his supreme-grade protective pearl, was unharmed, merely blown back several dozen meters.
Seeing the severe injuries inflicted, Ao Hong, instead of fleeing immediately, flew towards He’er, who had also been blown away.
He intended to capture He’er, forcing her to dual cultivate with him to enhance his cultivation!
“Boom!”
He’er, possessing a spatial artifact, inspired by Ao Hong’s artifact explosion, also detonated her spatial artifact.
The explosion of the spatial artifact was relatively mild.
But precisely because of this explosion, it delayed Ao Hong’s time.
“Ao Hong, you had the chance to escape, now you’re doomed!”
Shui Miao had already returned, launching the Fire Dragon Strike, the dragon’s roar resounding, striking Ao Hong’s head directly!
Ao Hong’s heart sank, it’s over!
“Everyone, attack!”
“Kill the Immortal Emperor, obtain his aura, it will greatly benefit our cultivation.”
“This opportunity is once in a millennium, if missed, we’ll regret it for life.”
Shui Miao, having succeeded, worried that Ao Hong might self-destruct, harming He’er, instead retreated, holding He’er’s waist, directly moving her into the Time Tower, and himself flying to the side.
“Shui Miao, where is this? What are you doing?”
Suddenly entering the Time Tower, He’er was a bit confused.
Shui Miao’s heart stirred, his voice echoing inside the Time Tower, “This is inside one of my artifacts. Ao Hong might self-destruct, so it’s better for you to hide here.”
Even in such a situation, she’s still considering my safety?
Realizing Shui Miao was protecting her, He’er felt a surge of sweetness, warmth, and happiness.
“By the way, Shui Miao, since Ao Hong is almost done for, why did you let the demon beasts deal with him? You know, the Immortal Emperor’s body is a priceless treasure.” He’er, thinking quickly, asked.
“Ao Hong’s body is comparable to a supreme-grade immortal artifact. With my current strength and the artifacts I have, it’s impossible to kill him, only to temporarily trap him.” Shui Miao, watching the demon beasts attack Ao Hong from afar, suddenly had an idea, multitasking, the forging furnace inside the Time Tower automatically began to smelt the Nuwa Stone, “In this situation, I only have one last method to try.”
“What, what method?” He’er quickly asked.
“You’ll know when the time comes.”
Looking at the pitiful Ao Hong being beaten by the demon beasts, Shui Miao thought to himself, “I’ll use the Nuwa Stone to forge an artifact, even if it’s just a tiny needle, then use Ao Hong’s blood to quench it, perhaps I can create a supreme artifact. Then, I won’t believe I can’t kill this Ao Hong?”
The Nuwa Stone is difficult to smelt, taking a long time to produce even a small amount of material.
But, using this small amount of material to forge a needle is still possible.
However, embedding a formation within a needle is an extremely difficult task.
“And my protective artifacts…”
“You little brat, you only have a couple of supreme-grade immortal artifacts, right? I don’t believe that with so many of us, we can’t take you down! Everyone, attack together, kill him! Kill him!” Ao Hong, after escaping from the Sacred Demon Mountain and gathering a large number of demon beasts, had collected all the magical treasures from everyone and kept them on himself as a precaution.
He instantly activated over thirty defensive treasures, forming a visible shield of light around his body.
He also possessed dozens of top-tier immortal artifacts and various magical treasures.
Ao Hong had indeed noticed that Shui Miao’s cultivation level wasn’t particularly impressive; his reliance was merely on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts.
Now, in this open space, with his subordinates, his treasures, and having consumed numerous elixirs to restore half of his cultivation, he didn’t believe he couldn’t defeat Shui Miao under these circumstances.
Indeed, Ao Hong’s subordinates were all formidable.
The hundreds of thousands of demon beasts that attacked the Sacred Demon Mountain hadn’t suffered many losses. Most of the demon beasts Ao Hong kept by his side were at the level of Immortal Lords and Immortal Elders, the absolute elite of the demon beast race.
“…”
The demon beasts didn’t move, glancing at each other, seemingly somewhat intimidated.
They couldn’t gauge the cultivation level of the person before them, and the fact that this person had forced Ao Hong to retreat several steps indicated that he was no ordinary individual.
It proved that demon beasts weren’t entirely mindless brutes.
Moreover, Ao Hong himself had mentioned that Shui Miao possessed two supreme-grade immortal artifacts. The power of such artifacts was immense—who didn’t know that? Even the dumbest wouldn’t be foolish enough to clash head-on with supreme-grade artifacts, right?
Now, the better artifacts everyone had were confiscated by Ao Hong.
With bare hands, what could they use to fight?
Thus, the demon beasts didn’t act rashly.
Shui Miao, clever and astute, immediately saw through their thoughts and sneered loudly, “The mighty Immortal Emperor, the leader of the demon beast race, actually hides behind others upon seeing me. You’ve taken everyone’s treasures to save yourself, yet you expect your unarmed subordinates to sacrifice their lives to protect you. You’re truly an unprecedented and unrepeatable Immortal Emperor. I know the demon beast race values honor, fears no death, and is filled with righteous and heroic beasts. But today, we have you, Ao Hong, who has utterly disgraced the demon beast race. Even I, an outsider, feel ashamed for you. What right do you have to lead everyone? You’re nothing but a selfish, pitiful worm, only concerned with yourself. If you have the guts, step forward and face me one-on-one.”
Shui Miao’s words were filled with dominance and heroism.
In contrast, Ao Hong appeared despicable and lowly, earning everyone’s disdain.
Indeed, Shui Miao’s speech resonated with the demon beasts, and they scattered, leaving Ao Hong and Shui Miao to face each other alone.
“You little brat, who do you think you are? You’re just relying on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts! I was careless and got ambushed by you earlier, but now you dare to challenge me to a duel? You’re seeking death!” Ao Hong, with no way out, channeled all his Emperor’s energy, ready to attack Shui Miao at any moment.
This Ao Hong seems quite clumsy with words! Shui Miao sneered again, “So what if I have supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I forged them myself. And you? You’re an Immortal Emperor, a being who should stand above all, commanding subordinates and shaking the heavens. Yet, you act like a pitiful worm, even shamelessly seeking dual cultivation with He’er. I’m truly embarrassed for you. A third-rate, insignificant dragon like you isn’t even worthy of speaking to me.”
Shui Miao suddenly realized his verbal skills were quite sharp!
“You, you, you’re asking for death!”
Ao Hong, furious, immediately activated five flying swords, aiming directly at Shui Miao.
“Shameless! An Immortal Emperor resorting to sneak attacks!”
Shui Miao didn’t miss any opportunity to mock and belittle Ao Hong. Simultaneously, he activated the Time Pearl, dodging the flying swords and appearing at Ao Hong’s side. He then unleashed a Fire Dragon Strike, instantly destroying several of Ao Hong’s defensive treasures. Before Ao Hong could fully react, Shui Miao swung his Ghost Head Blade, slashing Ao Hong’s clothes into tatters, leaving him in a miserable state.
“Haha! And you dare call yourself the leader of the demon beasts?” Shui Miao laughed loudly, returning to his original position. He grabbed the five flying swords and threw them towards the demon beasts, “Whose artifacts are these? Take them back now!”
Inspired by Shui Miao, the demon beasts scrambled to retrieve their artifacts.
Without waiting for Ao Hong to speak, Shui Miao activated the Time Pearl again, launching another Fire Dragon Strike and slashing fiercely!
Several more of Ao Hong’s defensive treasures were destroyed.
Shui Miao’s Ghost Head Blade hacked away, damaging several more defensive artifacts.
※※※
Despite having defensive treasures and several top-tier immortal artifacts, Ao Hong was utterly defenseless against Shui Miao’s attacks.
Shui Miao’s speed was terrifyingly fast, leaving the demon beasts trembling with fear, and even He’er was stunned.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s combination of lightning attacks and fierce slashes with the Ghost Head Blade was perfectly executed. With both magical and physical attacks, and with Ao Hong’s artifacts inferior to Shui Miao’s, how could he possibly defend?
Even more terrifying was that while Shui Miao was unleashing a storm of attacks on Ao Hong, he was also waging psychological warfare, swaying everyone’s thoughts, successfully isolating Ao Hong from the demon beast race. The demon beasts now looked down on him, unwilling to stand with him, all focused on retrieving their treasures, none considering whether to help him.
“Despicable!”
“Shui Miao, I’ll remember today’s humiliation. I’ll come back for you! When that time comes, it will be your death!”
In despair, Ao Hong decided to flee before his last defensive treasure was destroyed. If he didn’t escape now, he might never get another chance.
Immediately, Ao Hong channeled his energy, preparing to use an escape technique.
“Trying to escape? Not so easy!”
Thinking quickly, Shui Miao accelerated his attacks, pushing his speed to the limit.
“Shui Miao, I’ll help you…”
Suddenly, He’er spoke up.
He’er channeled all her spiritual energy, infiltrating Ao Hong’s mind, blocking his escape.
“Ao Hong, return my top-tier immortal artifact!”
“And my defensive treasure…”
“He’s a disgrace to our demon beast race. Stop him, kill him!”
Several Immortal Elder-level demon beasts, seeing Ao Hong’s downfall, actually turned to attack him.
Poor Ao Hong had fallen to such a state!
“Boom!”
Under the Fire Dragon Strike, Ao Hong’s last defensive treasure was destroyed.
His thoughts were interrupted by He’er, preventing him from using the escape technique.
If he were hit by another Fire Dragon Strike, his energy would become numb, rendering him unable to channel it, leading to a vicious cycle where he’d be slowly worn down by Shui Miao.
“I’ll fight you to the death!”
In desperation, to escape before Shui Miao launched another Fire Dragon Strike, Ao Hong, relying on his robust immortal body, suddenly detonated several top-tier immortal artifacts around him!
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“…”
The massive shockwaves from the artifact explosions instantly sent everyone flying.
Several weaker demon beasts were killed on the spot.
Shui Miao, protected by his supreme-grade defensive pearl, was unharmed, merely blown back several dozen meters.
Seeing the success of his move, Ao Hong, instead of fleeing immediately, flew towards He’er, who had also been blown away.
He intended to capture He’er, forcing her into dual cultivation to enhance his power!
“Boom!”
He’er, possessing a spatial artifact, inspired by Ao Hong’s artifact explosion, detonated her spatial artifact.
The explosion of the spatial artifact was relatively mild.
But precisely because of this explosion, it delayed Ao Hong’s escape.
“Ao Hong, you had a chance to escape, but now you’re doomed!”
Shui Miao had already returned, launching a Fire Dragon Strike. The roar of the dragon echoed as the attack struck Ao Hong’s head directly!
Ao Hong’s heart sank—it was over!
“Everyone, attack!”
“Kill the Immortal Emperor, absorb his essence. It will greatly benefit our cultivation.”
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we miss it, we’ll regret it forever.”
Shui Miao, having succeeded, worried that Ao Hong might self-destruct and harm He’er, retreated instead, holding He’er’s waist and teleporting her into the Time Tower, while he himself flew to the side.
“Shui Miao, where is this? What are you doing?”
Suddenly entering the Time Tower, He’er was a bit confused.
Shui Miao’s voice echoed within the tower, “This is inside one of my artifacts. Ao Hong might resort to self-destruction, so it’s safer for you to hide here.”
Even in such a situation, she’s still considering my safety?
Realizing Shui Miao was protecting her, He’er felt a sweet warmth and happiness.
“By the way, Shui Miao, since Ao Hong is almost done for, why are you letting the demon beasts deal with him? The body of an Immortal Emperor is a priceless treasure,” He’er quickly asked, her thoughts racing.
“Ao Hong’s body is comparable to a supreme-grade immortal artifact. With my current strength and the artifacts I have, it’s impossible to kill him. I can only temporarily trap him,” Shui Miao watched from afar as the demon beasts attacked Ao Hong. Suddenly, he split his focus, and the forging furnace inside the Time Tower began to smelt the Nuwa Stone. “In this situation, I only have one last method to try.”
“What method?” He’er eagerly inquired.
“You’ll know when the time comes.”
Watching the pitiful Ao Hong being beaten by the demon beasts, Shui Miao thought to himself, “I’ll use the Nuwa Stone to forge an artifact, even if it’s just a tiny needle. Then, I’ll temper it with Ao Hong’s blood. Perhaps I can create a supreme artifact. At that point, I won’t believe I can’t kill this Ao Hong!”
The Nuwa Stone was difficult to smelt, taking a long time to produce even a small amount of material.
But with that small amount, forging a needle was still possible.
However, embedding a formation within a needle was an extremely challenging task.
“You little brat, you only have a couple of supreme-grade immortal artifacts, don’t you? I don’t believe that with so many of us, we can’t take you down! Everyone, attack together, kill him!

The demon beasts didn’t move, glancing at each other, seemingly somewhat intimidated.
They couldn’t gauge the cultivation level of the person before them, and the fact that this person had forced Ao Hong to retreat several steps indicated that he was no ordinary individual.
It was evident that not all demon beasts were mindless brutes.
Moreover, Ao Hong himself had mentioned that Shui Miao possessed two supreme-grade immortal artifacts. Everyone knew the immense power of such artifacts. No matter how foolish, no one would be stupid enough to pit their head against a supreme-grade immortal artifact.
Now, all the decent immortal artifacts they had were taken by Ao Hong.
Unarmed, what could they possibly use to fight?
Thus, the demon beasts didn’t act rashly.
Shui Miao, clever and astute, immediately saw through their thoughts and sneered loudly, “The mighty Immortal Emperor, the leader of the demon beast race, actually hides behind others upon seeing me, taking everyone’s treasures to save himself, while leaving his unarmed subordinates to sacrifice their lives to protect him.

Shui Miao’s words were filled with dominance and valor.
In contrast, Ao Hong appeared despicable and lowly, earning everyone’s disdain.
Indeed, Shui Miao’s words resonated with the demon beasts, who quickly dispersed, leaving Ao Hong and Shui Miao to face each other alone.
“You little brat, who do you think you are? You only rely on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts. I was careless and got ambushed by you earlier, but now you dare to challenge me to a duel? You’re seeking death!” Ao Hong, with no way out, fully activated his Emperor’s aura, ready to attack Shui Miao at any moment.
Ao Hong’s tongue seemed quite clumsy! Shui Miao sneered again, “So what if I have supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I crafted them myself. And you? You’re an Immortal Emperor, a being of supreme status, capable of leading subordinates and dominating the heavens. Yet, you act like a pitiful worm, even lusting after He’er for dual cultivation. I’m truly ashamed for you. A third-rate, insignificant dragon like you isn’t even worthy of speaking to me.”
Shui Miao suddenly realized his verbal skills were quite sharp!
“You, you, you’re asking for death!”
Ao Hong, enraged, immediately activated five flying swords, aiming directly at Shui Miao.
“Shameless! An Immortal Emperor resorting to sneak attacks!”
Shui Miao didn’t miss any opportunity to belittle Ao Hong, while simultaneously activating the Time Pearl, dodging the flying swords and appearing beside Ao Hong. He immediately launched a Fire Dragon Strike, destroying several of Ao Hong’s defensive artifacts. Before Ao Hong could fully react, Shui Miao swung his Ghost Head Blade, slashing Ao Hong’s clothes to tatters, leaving him in a pitiful state.
“Haha! And you dare call yourself the leader of the demon beasts?” Shui Miao laughed loudly, returning to his original position, grabbing the five flying swords, and throwing them towards the demon beasts, “Whose immortal artifacts are these? Take them back now!”
Inspired by Shui Miao, the demon beasts scrambled to retrieve their artifacts.
Without waiting for Ao Hong to speak, Shui Miao activated the Time Pearl again, launching another Fire Dragon Strike and slashing fiercely!
Several more of Ao Hong’s defensive artifacts were destroyed.
Shui Miao’s Ghost Head Blade also shattered several defensive artifacts with its relentless strikes.
※※※
Despite having defensive artifacts and several top-grade immortal artifacts, Ao Hong was utterly overwhelmed by Shui Miao’s attacks.
Shui Miao’s speed was terrifyingly fast, leaving the demon beasts trembling with fear, and He’er was equally stunned.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s combination of lightning attacks and the Ghost Head Blade’s slashes was perfectly executed, blending magical and physical attacks. With inferior artifacts, how could Ao Hong possibly withstand such an assault?
Even more terrifying was Shui Miao’s psychological warfare, manipulating the thoughts of the demon beasts, successfully isolating Ao Hong from the demon beast race, making them look down on him and unwilling to side with him. Everyone was focused on retrieving their artifacts, with no one considering helping him.
“Despicable!”
“Shui Miao, I will remember today’s humiliation. I will return, and that will be your death day!”
In despair, Ao Hong decided to flee before his last defensive artifact was destroyed. If he didn’t escape now, he might never get another chance.
Immediately, Ao Hong began channeling his energy to perform an escape technique.
“Trying to run? Not so easy!”
Shui Miao, quick to react, increased his attack speed to the maximum.
“Shui Miao, I’ll help you…”
Suddenly, He’er spoke up.
He’er fully activated her spiritual power, infiltrating Ao Hong’s mind, blocking his escape.
“Ao Hong, return my top-grade immortal artifact!”
“And my defensive artifact…”
“He’s a disgrace to our demon beast race. Stop him, kill him!”
Several Immortal Elders, seeing Ao Hong’s inevitable downfall, actually turned to attack him.
Poor Ao Hong had fallen to such a state!
“Boom!”
Under the Fire Dragon Strike, Ao Hong’s last defensive artifact was destroyed.
His thoughts were disrupted by He’er, preventing him from performing the escape technique.
If he were hit by another Fire Dragon Strike, his energy would become numb, unable to be activated, leading to a vicious cycle where he would be slowly worn down and killed by Shui Miao.
“I’ll fight you all!”
In desperation, to escape before Shui Miao launched another Fire Dragon Strike, Ao Hong, relying on his robust immortal body, suddenly detonated several top-grade immortal artifacts around him!
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“…”
The massive shockwave from the artifact explosions instantly sent everyone flying.
Several weaker demon beasts were killed on the spot.
Shui Miao, protected by his supreme-grade defensive pearl, was unharmed, merely blown back several dozen meters.
Seeing that he had severely injured everyone, Ao Hong didn’t flee immediately but instead flew towards He’er, who had also been blown away.
He intended to capture He’er and force her into dual cultivation to enhance his power!
“Boom!”
He’er, possessing a spatial artifact, inspired by Ao Hong’s artifact detonation, also detonated her spatial artifact.
The explosion of the spatial artifact was relatively mild.
But precisely because of this explosion, it delayed Ao Hong’s advance.
“Ao Hong, you had a chance to escape, but now you’re doomed!”
Shui Miao had already returned, launching a Fire Dragon Strike, the dragon’s roar resounding, striking Ao Hong’s head directly!
Ao Hong’s heart sank—it was over!
“Everyone, attack!”
“Kill the Immortal Emperor, absorb his aura. It will greatly benefit our cultivation.”
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we miss it, we’ll regret it forever.”
Shui Miao, having struck successfully, worried that Ao Hong might self-destruct and harm He’er, retreated instead, holding He’er’s waist and teleporting her into the Time Tower, while he himself flew to the side.
“Shui Miao, where is this? What are you doing?”
Suddenly finding herself in the Time Tower, He’er was a bit confused.

Poor Ao Hong had fallen to such a pitiful state!
“Boom!”
Under the Fire Dragon Strike attack, Ao Hong’s last artifact was also destroyed.
His thoughts were interrupted by He’er, preventing him from using the escape technique.
If he was attacked by the Fire Dragon Strike again, his spiritual energy would become numb, making it impossible to activate any techniques, leading to a vicious cycle. Eventually, he would be completely exhausted and killed by Shui Miao.
“I’ll take you all down with me!”
“You little brat, you only have a couple of supreme-grade immortal artifacts, right? I don’t believe that with so many of us, we can’t take you down! Everyone, charge! Kill him! Kill him!” Ao Hong, after escaping from the Sacred Demon Mountain and gathering with a large number of demon beasts, had collected all their magical treasures and kept them on himself as a precaution.
He instantly activated over thirty defensive artifacts, forming a visible shield of light around his body.

The demon beasts didn’t move, exchanging glances, seemingly somewhat intimidated.
They couldn’t gauge the cultivation level of the person before them, and the fact that this person had forced Ao Hong to retreat several steps indicated that he was no ordinary individual.
It turned out that demon beasts weren’t entirely mindless brutes.
Moreover, Ao Hong himself had mentioned that Shui Miao possessed two supreme-grade immortal artifacts. Everyone knew the immense power of such artifacts. No matter how foolish, no one would be stupid enough to pit their head against a supreme-grade immortal artifact, right?

Shui Miao’s words were filled with overwhelming dominance and heroism.
In contrast, Ao Hong appeared despicable and lowly, earning everyone’s disdain.
Indeed, Shui Miao’s words resonated with the demon beasts, who quickly dispersed, leaving Ao Hong and Shui Miao to face each other in a one-on-one duel.
“You little brat, who do you think you are? You’re just relying on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts!

Shui Miao suddenly realized that his verbal skills were quite sharp!
“You, you, you’re asking for death!”
Ao Hong, furious, immediately activated five flying swords, directly attacking Shui Miao.
“Shameless! The Immortal Emperor resorts to sneak attacks!”
Shui Miao didn’t miss any opportunity to mock and belittle Ao Hong, while simultaneously activating the Time Orb. His figure flickered, dodging the flying swords, and appeared at Ao Hong’s side, launching a Fire Dragon Blast that destroyed several of Ao Hong’s defensive artifacts. Before Ao Hong could fully react, Shui Miao swung his Ghost Head Blade in a frenzy, cutting Ao Hong’s clothes to shreds, leaving him in a sorry state.
“Haha! And you dare call yourself the leader of the demon beasts?” Shui Miao laughed loudly, returning to his original position, grabbing the five flying swords, and throwing them towards the demon beasts, “Whose immortal artifacts are these? Why aren’t you taking them back?”
Inspired by Shui Miao, the demon beasts scrambled to retrieve their own artifacts.
Without waiting for Ao Hong to speak, Shui Miao activated the Time Orb again, launching another Fire Dragon Blast at Ao Hong, followed by another fierce slash!
Several more of Ao Hong’s defensive artifacts were destroyed.
Shui Miao’s Ghost Head Blade slashed through several more defensive artifacts.

Despite having defensive artifacts and several top-tier immortal artifacts, Ao Hong was completely overwhelmed by Shui Miao’s relentless attacks.

The demon beasts didn’t move, glancing at each other, seemingly somewhat intimidated.
They couldn’t gauge the cultivation level of the person before them, and this person had even forced Ao Hong to retreat several steps, indicating he was definitely not an ordinary individual.
It proved that demon beasts weren’t entirely mindless killing machines.
Moreover, Ao Hong himself had mentioned that Shui Miao possessed two supreme-grade immortal artifacts. The immense power of supreme-grade artifacts was common knowledge. No matter how foolish, no one would be stupid enough to pit their head against a supreme-grade artifact, right?
Now, the better artifacts everyone had were all confiscated by Ao Hong.
With bare hands, what could they possibly use to fight?
Thus, the demon beasts didn’t act rashly.
Shui Miao, clever and astute, saw through their thoughts at a glance and sneered loudly, “The mighty Immortal Emperor, the leader of the demon beast race, actually hides behind others upon seeing me, confiscates everyone’s treasures to save himself, yet expects his unarmed subordinates to sacrifice their lives to protect him. You, the Immortal Emperor, are truly unprecedented and unmatched. I know the demon beast race values honor above all, fearless and righteous divine beasts, but today, we have you, Ao Hong, who has utterly disgraced the demon beast race. Even I, an outsider, blush for you. What right do you have to lead everyone? You selfish, self-centered wretch, if you have the guts, step forward and face me one-on-one.”
Shui Miao’s words were filled with unyielding dominance and valor.
In contrast, Ao Hong appeared despicable and lowly, earning everyone’s disdain.
Indeed, Shui Miao’s words resonated with the demon beasts, who scattered, leaving Ao Hong and Shui Miao to face each other in a one-on-one duel.
“You little brat, who do you think you are? You only rely on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts, don’t you? I was careless and got ambushed by you earlier, but now you dare to boast and challenge me to a duel? You’re seeking death!” Ao Hong, with no way out, fully activated his Emperor’s aura, ready to attack Shui Miao at any moment.
Ao Hong’s tongue seems quite clumsy! Shui Miao sneered again, “What if I have supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I forged them myself. And you? You’re still the Immortal Emperor, a supreme being who should command subordinates and dominate the heavens. Yet, you act like a pitiful wretch, even lusting after He’er for dual cultivation. I’m truly ashamed for you. A third-rate, insignificant dragon like you isn’t even worthy of speaking to me.”
Shui Miao suddenly realized his verbal skills were quite sharp too!
“You, you, you’re seeking death!”
Enraged, Ao Hong immediately activated five flying swords, directly attacking Shui Miao.
“Shameless! A dignified Immortal Emperor resorts to sneak attacks!”
Shui Miao didn’t miss any opportunity to mock and belittle Ao Hong. Simultaneously, he activated the Time Pearl, swiftly dodging the flying swords and appearing at Ao Hong’s side. He immediately launched a Fire Dragon Blast, destroying several of Ao Hong’s protective artifacts in one go. Before Ao Hong could fully react, Shui Miao swung his Ghost Head Blade in a frenzy, shredding Ao Hong’s clothes and leaving him in a sorry state.
“Haha! And you dare to call yourself the leader of the demon beasts?” Shui Miao laughed heartily, returning to his original spot, grabbing the five flying swords, and throwing them towards the demon beasts, “Whose artifacts are these? Why not take them back now?”
Inspired by Shui Miao, the demon beasts scrambled to retrieve their artifacts.
Without waiting for Ao Hong to speak, Shui Miao activated the Time Pearl again, launching another Fire Dragon Blast at Ao Hong, followed by another fierce slash!
Several more of Ao Hong’s protective artifacts were destroyed.
Shui Miao’s Ghost Head Blade, with its relentless slashing, also damaged several protective artifacts.
※※※
Despite having protective artifacts and several top-grade immortal artifacts, Ao Hong was utterly defenseless against Shui Miao’s attacks.
Shui Miao’s speed was simply too fast, leaving the demon beasts trembling with fear and He’er wide-eyed in astonishment.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s combination of lightning attacks and fierce slashes with the Ghost Head Blade was perfectly executed, blending magical and physical attacks. With inferior artifacts, how could Ao Hong possibly withstand such an assault?
Even more terrifying was that while Shui Miao launched a relentless assault on Ao Hong, he also employed psychological warfare, swaying everyone’s thoughts, successfully isolating Ao Hong from the demon beast race, making them despise him and unwilling to ally with him. Everyone was focused on retrieving their artifacts, with no one considering helping him.
“Despicable!”
“Shui Miao, I will remember today’s humiliation. I will return, and that will be your death day!”
In desperation, Ao Hong decided to flee before his last protective artifact was destroyed. If he didn’t escape now, he might never get another chance.
Immediately, Ao Hong channeled his energy, preparing to use an escape technique.
“Trying to escape? Not so easy!”
Quickly thinking, Shui Miao accelerated his attacks, pushing his speed to the limit.
“Shui Miao, I’ll help you…”
Suddenly, He’er spoke up.
He’er fully activated her spiritual power, infiltrating Ao Hong’s mind, blocking his escape.
“Ao Hong, return my top-grade immortal artifact!”
“And my protective artifact…”
“He’s a disgrace to our demon beast race. Stop him, kill him!”
Several Immortal Elder-level demon beasts, seeing Ao Hong’s inevitable downfall, actually turned to attack him.
Poor Ao Hong had fallen to such a state!
“Boom!”
Under the Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong’s last protective artifact was destroyed.
His thoughts were interrupted by He’er, preventing him from using the escape technique.
If he were hit by another Fire Dragon Blast, his energy would become numb, unable to be activated, leading to a vicious cycle where he would be slowly worn down to death by Shui Miao.
“I’ll fight you to the death!”
In a panic, to escape before Shui Miao launched another Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong, relying on his robust immortal body, suddenly detonated several top-grade immortal artifacts around him!
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“…”
The massive shockwave from the artifact explosions instantly sent everyone flying.
Several weaker demon beasts were killed on the spot.
Shui Miao, protected by his supreme-grade protective pearl, was unharmed, merely blown back several dozen meters.
Seeing the severe injuries inflicted, Ao Hong didn’t flee immediately but instead flew towards He’er, who had also been blown away.
He intended to capture He’er, forcing her into dual cultivation to enhance his power!
“Boom!”
He’er, possessing a spatial artifact, inspired by Ao Hong’s artifact detonation, also detonated her spatial artifact.
The explosion of the spatial artifact was relatively mild.
But precisely because of this detonation, it delayed Ao Hong’s actions.
“Ao Hong, you had a chance to escape, but now you’re doomed!”
Shui Miao had already returned, launching a Fire Dragon Blast, the dragon’s roar resonating, striking Ao Hong’s head directly!
Ao Hong’s heart sank—it was over!
“Everyone, attack!”
“Kill the Immortal Emperor, obtain his aura. It will greatly benefit our cultivation.”
“This opportunity is once in a millennium. If we miss it, we’ll regret it for life.”
Shui Miao, having succeeded, worried that Ao Hong might self-destruct and harm He’er, retreated instead, holding He’er’s waist and teleporting her into the Time Tower, while he himself flew to the side.
“Shui Miao, where is this? What are you doing?”
Suddenly entering the Time Tower, He’er was a bit confused.
Shui Miao’s voice echoed within the Time Tower, “This is inside one of my artifacts. Ao Hong might self-destruct, so it’s safer for you to hide here.”
Even in such a situation, she’s still considering my safety?
Realizing Shui Miao was protecting her, He’er felt a surge of sweetness, warmth, and happiness.
“By the way, Shui Miao, since Ao Hong is almost done for, why did you let the demon beasts deal with him? You know, the Immortal Emperor’s body is a priceless treasure,” He’er quickly asked, her thoughts racing.
“Ao Hong’s body is comparable to a supreme-grade immortal artifact. With my current strength and artifacts, it’s impossible for me to kill him. I can only temporarily trap him,” Shui Miao watched from afar as the demon beasts attacked Ao Hong, suddenly having an idea. The Time Tower’s forging furnace automatically began smelting the Nuwa Stone. “In this situation, I only have one last method to try.”
“What, what method?” He’er eagerly inquired.
“You’ll know when the time comes.”
Watching the pitiful Ao Hong being beaten by the demon beasts, Shui Miao thought to himself, “I’ll use the Nuwa Stone to forge an artifact, even if it’s just a tiny needle. Then, I’ll use Ao Hong’s blood to temper it. Perhaps I can create a supreme artifact. Then, I won’t believe I can’t kill this Ao Hong!”
The Nuwa Stone is difficult to smelt, taking a long time to produce even a small amount of material.
But with this small amount of material, forging a needle is still possible.
However, embedding a formation within such a tiny needle is an extremely challenging task.
“You little brat, just because you have a couple of supreme-grade immortal artifacts, you think you’re invincible? I don’t believe that with so many of us, we can’t take you down! Everyone, attack! Kill him! Kill him!” Ao Hong, since escaping from the Sacred Demon Mountain and gathering with a large number of demon beasts, had collected all their magical treasures and kept them on himself as a precaution.
He instantly activated over thirty defensive artifacts, forming a visible shield of light around his body.
He also possessed dozens of top-grade immortal artifacts and various magical treasures.
Ao Hong had actually noticed that Shui Miao’s cultivation level wasn’t that impressive; he merely relied on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts.
Now, in this open space, with his subordinates, his treasures, and having consumed many elixirs to restore half of his cultivation, he didn’t believe he couldn’t defeat Shui Miao under these circumstances.
Indeed, Ao Hong’s subordinates were all formidable.
The tens of thousands of demon beasts that attacked the Sacred Demon Mountain hadn’t suffered many losses. Most of the demon beasts Ao Hong kept by his side were at the level of Immortal Lords and Immortal Elders, the absolute elite of the demon beast race.
“…”
The demon beasts didn’t move, glancing at each other, seemingly somewhat intimidated.
They couldn’t gauge the cultivation level of the person before them, and the fact that this person had forced Ao Hong to retreat several steps indicated that he was no ordinary individual.
It proved that demon beasts weren’t all mindless brutes.
Moreover, Ao Hong himself had mentioned that Shui Miao possessed two supreme-grade immortal artifacts. The immense power of such artifacts was well-known. No matter how foolish, no one would be so reckless as to confront supreme-grade immortal artifacts head-on.
Now, all the decent immortal artifacts they had were confiscated by Ao Hong.
With bare hands, what could they possibly use to fight?
Thus, the demon beasts didn’t act rashly.
Shui Miao, clever and astute, immediately saw through their thoughts and sneered loudly, “The mighty Immortal Emperor, the leader of the demon beast race, actually hides behind others upon seeing me, confiscates everyone’s treasures to save himself, yet expects his unarmed subordinates to sacrifice their lives to protect him. Truly, you are an unprecedented and unparalleled Immortal Emperor. I know the demon beast race values honor above all, fearless and righteous divine beasts, but today, we have you, Ao Hong, who has utterly disgraced the demon beast race. Even I, an outsider, am embarrassed for you. What right do you have to lead everyone? You selfish, self-centered wretch, if you have the guts, step forward and face me one-on-one.”
Shui Miao’s words were filled with overwhelming dominance and heroism.
In contrast, Ao Hong appeared despicable and lowly, earning everyone’s disdain.
Indeed, Shui Miao’s words resonated with the demon beasts, who scattered, leaving Ao Hong and Shui Miao to face off one-on-one.
“You little brat, who do you think you are? Just because you have a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts, you dare to boast so arrogantly? I was careless and got ambushed by you earlier, but now you dare to challenge me to a duel? You’re seeking death!” Ao Hong, with no way out, fully activated his Emperor’s aura, ready to attack Shui Miao at any moment.
This Ao Hong seems quite clumsy with words! Shui Miao sneered again, “What if I have supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I forged them myself. And you?

Without waiting for Ao Hong to speak, Shui Miao activated the Time Pearl again, launching another Fire Dragon Blast at Ao Hong, followed by a fierce slash!
Several more of Ao Hong’s defensive artifacts were destroyed.
Shui Miao’s Ghost Head Blade slashed fiercely, damaging several more defensive artifacts.
※※※
Despite having defensive artifacts and several top-grade immortal artifacts, Ao Hong was utterly defenseless against Shui Miao’s attacks.
Shui Miao’s speed was terrifyingly fast, leaving the demon beasts trembling with fear, and He’er was dumbfounded.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s combination of lightning attacks and fierce slashes with the Ghost Head Blade was perfectly executed, blending magical and physical attacks. With inferior artifacts, how could Ao Hong possibly withstand such an assault?
Even more terrifying was that while Shui Miao relentlessly attacked Ao Hong, he also employed psychological warfare, swaying everyone’s thoughts, successfully isolating Ao Hong from the demon beast race, making them look down on him and unwilling to associate with him. Everyone was focused on retrieving their own artifacts, with no one considering helping him.
“Despicable!”
“Shui Miao, I will remember today’s humiliation. I will return, and that will be your death day!”
In desperation, Ao Hong decided to flee before his last defensive artifact was destroyed. If he didn’t escape now, he might never get another chance.

Several Immortal Elder-level demon beasts, seeing Ao Hong’s downfall, actually turned to attack him.
Poor Ao Hong had fallen to such a pitiful state!
“Boom!”
Under the Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong’s last defensive artifact was destroyed.
His thoughts were interrupted by He’er, preventing him from using the escape technique.
If he were hit by another Fire Dragon Blast, his energy would become paralyzed, unable to activate, leading to a vicious cycle where he would eventually be worn down and killed by Shui Miao.
“I’ll fight you to the death!”

Having successfully struck, Shui Miao, fearing Ao Hong might self-destruct and harm He’er, retreated, holding He’er’s waist, and teleported her into the Time Tower, then flew to the side.

“Ao Hong’s body is comparable to a supreme-grade immortal artifact. With my current strength and the artifacts I have, it’s impossible to kill him.

He also possessed dozens of top-grade immortal artifacts and various magical treasures.
Ao Hong had actually realized that Shui Miao’s strength and cultivation weren’t that impressive, relying solely on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts.
Now, in this open space, with his subordinates, magical treasures, and having consumed many elixirs to restore half of his cultivation, he didn’t believe he couldn’t defeat Shui Miao under these circumstances.
Indeed, Ao Hong’s subordinates were all strong.
The army of hundreds of thousands of demon beasts that attacked the Sacred Demon Mountain hadn’t suffered many losses. Most of the demon beasts Ao Hong kept by his side were at the level of Immortal Lords and Immortal Elders, the absolute main force of the demon beast clan.
“…”
The demon beasts didn’t move, looking at each other, seemingly somewhat intimidated.
They couldn’t probe the strength and cultivation of the person before them, and this person had even forced Ao Hong to retreat several steps, clearly not an ordinary individual.
It proved that demon beasts weren’t all mindless killing machines.
Moreover, Ao Hong himself had mentioned that Shui Miao possessed two supreme-grade immortal artifacts, whose immense power was well-known. No matter how foolish, no one would be foolish enough to pit their head against a supreme-grade immortal artifact.

Ao Hong’s mouth seems quite clumsy! Shui Miao sneered again, “What if I have supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I crafted them myself. And you? You’re an Immortal Emperor, a supreme being who should command subordinates and dominate the nine heavens. But you act like a pitiful wretch, even lusting after a dual cultivation with Crane. I’m truly ashamed for you. A third-rate villain like you isn’t worthy to speak to me here.”
Shui Miao suddenly realized his verbal skills were quite sharp!
“You, you, you’re seeking death!”
Ao Hong, furious, immediately activated five flying swords, directly attacking Shui Miao.
“Shameless, an Immortal Emperor resorting to sneak attacks!”
Shui Miao didn’t miss any opportunity to mock and belittle Ao Hong, while simultaneously activating the Time Orb, dodging the flying swords, and appearing beside Ao Hong, launching a Fire Dragon Strike that destroyed several of Ao Hong’s protective artifacts. Before Ao Hong could fully react, Shui Miao swung his Ghost Head Blade wildly, cutting Ao Hong’s clothes to shreds, leaving him in a sorry state.
“Haha! How dare you call yourself the leader of the demon beasts?” Shui Miao laughed loudly, returning to his original spot, grabbing the five flying swords, and throwing them towards the demon beasts, “Whose immortal artifacts are these? Take them now!”
Inspired by Shui Miao, the demon beasts scrambled to retrieve their own immortal artifacts.
Without waiting for Ao Hong to speak, Shui Miao activated the Time Orb again, launching another Fire Dragon Strike and a fierce slash!
Several more of Ao Hong’s protective artifacts were destroyed.
Shui Miao’s Ghost Head Blade slashed fiercely, damaging several more protective artifacts.
※※※
Despite having protective artifacts and several top-grade immortal artifacts, Ao Hong was utterly defenseless against Shui Miao’s attacks.
Shui Miao’s speed was terrifyingly fast, leaving the demon beasts trembling with fear, and Crane was left speechless.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s combination of lightning attacks and fierce slashes with the Ghost Head Blade was perfectly executed, blending magical and physical attacks. With inferior artifacts, how could Ao Hong possibly defend?
Even more terrifying, while relentlessly attacking Ao Hong, Shui Miao also employed psychological warfare, swaying everyone’s thoughts, successfully isolating Ao Hong from the demon beast clan, making them look down on him, unwilling to ally with him, all eager to retrieve their own artifacts, none thinking to help him.
“Despicable!”
“Shui Miao, I’ll remember today’s humiliation, and I’ll come back for you! That day will be your death!”
In despair, Ao Hong decided to flee before his last protective artifact was destroyed. If he didn’t escape now, he might never get another chance.
Immediately, Ao Hong channeled his energy, preparing to use an escape technique.

Suddenly, Crane spoke up.
Crane fully activated her mental power, infiltrating Ao Hong’s thoughts, blocking his escape.
“Ao Hong, return my top-grade immortal artifact!”
“And my protective artifact…”
“He’s a disgrace to our demon beast clan, stop him, kill him!”
Several Immortal Elders, seeing Ao Hong’s downfall, actually turned to attack him.
Poor Ao Hong had fallen to such a state!
“Boom!”
Under the Fire Dragon Strike, Ao Hong’s last protective artifact was destroyed.
His thoughts were interrupted by Crane, preventing him from using the escape technique.

“I’ll fight you all!”
In desperation, to escape before Shui Miao launched another Fire Dragon Strike, Ao Hong, relying on his robust immortal body, suddenly detonated several top-grade immortal artifacts around him!
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“…”
The massive shockwave from the artifact explosions instantly sent everyone flying.
Several weaker demon beasts were killed on the spot.
Shui Miao, protected by a supreme-grade protective orb, was unharmed, merely blown back several dozen meters.
Seizing the opportunity, Ao Hong, instead of fleeing immediately, flew towards Crane, who had also been blown away.
He intended to capture Crane, forcing her into dual cultivation to enhance his own power!
“Boom!”
Crane, possessing a spatial artifact, inspired by Ao Hong’s artifact explosion, also detonated her spatial artifact.
The explosion of the spatial artifact was relatively mild.
But precisely because of this explosion, it delayed Ao Hong’s timing.
“Ao Hong, you had a chance to escape, now you’re doomed!”
Shui Miao had already returned, launching a Fire Dragon Strike, the dragon’s roar resounding, striking Ao Hong’s head squarely!
Ao Hong’s heart sank, it was over!
“Everyone, attack!”
“Kill the Immortal Emperor, absorb his aura, it will greatly benefit our cultivation.”
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, missing it would be a lifelong regret.”
Shui Miao, having succeeded, worried Ao Hong might self-destruct and harm Crane, instead retreated, holding Crane’s waist, directly moving her into the Time Tower, and himself flying to the side.
“Shui Miao, where is this, what are you doing?”
Suddenly entering the Time Tower, Crane was a bit confused.
Shui Miao’s heart stirred, his voice echoing within the Time Tower, “This is inside one of my artifacts. Ao Hong might self-destruct his demon body, so it’s best for you to hide here.”
Even in such a situation, she’s still considering my safety?
Realizing Shui Miao was protecting her, Crane felt a surge of sweetness, warmth, and happiness.
“By the way, Shui Miao, since Ao Hong is almost done for, why did you let the demon beasts deal with him? You know, the Immortal Emperor’s demon body is a priceless treasure.” Crane’s thoughts turned, quickly asking.
“Ao Hong’s demon body is comparable to a supreme-grade immortal artifact. With my current strength and artifacts, it’s impossible to kill him, only temporarily trap him.” Shui Miao, watching from afar as the demon beasts attacked Ao Hong, suddenly had a thought, multitasking, the forging furnace inside the Time Tower automatically began smelting the Nuwa Stone, “In this situation, I only have one last method to try.”
“What, what method?” Crane hurriedly asked.
“You’ll know when the time comes.”
Watching the pitiful Ao Hong being beaten by the demon beasts, Shui Miao thought to himself, “I’ll use the Nuwa Stone to forge an immortal artifact, even if it’s just a very fine needle, then use Ao Hong’s blood to temper it, perhaps I can create a supreme artifact. Then, I won’t believe I can’t kill this Ao Hong?”
The Nuwa Stone is difficult to smelt, taking a long time to produce even a tiny amount of material.
But, using this tiny amount of material to forge a needle is still possible.
However, embedding a formation within a needle is an extremely difficult task.
“You little brat, you only have a couple of supreme-grade immortal artifacts, don’t you? I don’t believe that with so many of us, we can’t take you down! Everyone, attack together, kill him!

Now, in this open space, with his subordinates, treasures, and having consumed many elixirs to restore half of his cultivation, he didn’t believe he couldn’t defeat Shui Miao under these circumstances.
Indeed, Ao Hong’s subordinates were all powerful beings.
The tens of thousands of demon beasts that attacked the Sacred Demon Mountain hadn’t suffered many losses. Most of the demon beasts Ao Hong kept by his side were at the level of Immortal Lords and Immortal Elders, the absolute elite of the demon beast race.
“…”
The demon beasts didn’t move, looking at each other, seemingly somewhat intimidated.
They couldn’t probe the cultivation level of the person before them, and this person had even forced Ao Hong to retreat several steps, indicating he was definitely not an ordinary person.
It proved that demon beasts weren’t all mindless killers.
Moreover, Ao Hong himself had mentioned that Shui Miao possessed two supreme-grade immortal artifacts. The power of such artifacts was immense, and everyone knew that. No matter how foolish, no one would be stupid enough to clash head-on with supreme-grade immortal artifacts.
Now, the better immortal artifacts everyone had were taken by Ao Hong.
With bare hands, what could they use to fight?
Thus, the demon beasts didn’t act rashly.
Shui Miao, clever and astute, saw through their thoughts at a glance and sneered loudly, “The mighty Immortal Emperor, the leader of the demon beast race, actually hides behind others upon seeing me, collects everyone’s treasures to save himself, yet expects his unarmed subordinates to sacrifice their lives to protect him. You, the Immortal Emperor, are truly unprecedented and unparalleled. I know the demon beast race values honor, fears not death, and are righteous divine beasts. But today, we have you, Ao Hong, who has utterly disgraced the demon beast race. Even I, an outsider, blush for you. What right do you have to lead everyone? You selfish, self-centered wretch, if you have the guts, step forward and face me one-on-one.”
Shui Miao’s words were filled with dominance and heroism.
In contrast, Ao Hong appeared despicable and lowly, earning everyone’s disdain.
Indeed, Shui Miao’s words resonated with the demon beasts, who scattered, leaving Ao Hong to face Shui Miao one-on-one.
“You little brat, who do you think you are? You only rely on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts. I was careless and got ambushed by you earlier, and now you dare to boast and challenge me? You’re seeking death!” Ao Hong had no way out, fully activating his emperor’s aura, ready to attack Shui Miao at any moment.
Ao Hong’s mouth seemed quite clumsy! Shui Miao sneered again, “So what if I have supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I crafted them myself. And you? You’re the Immortal Emperor, a supreme being who should lead subordinates and dominate the nine heavens. But you act like a pitiful wretch, even shamelessly wanting to dual cultivate with He’er. I’m truly ashamed for you. A third-rate, insignificant dragon like you isn’t worthy of speaking to me.”
Shui Miao suddenly realized his verbal skills were quite sharp!
“You, you, you’re seeking death!”
Ao Hong, enraged, immediately activated five flying swords, directly attacking Shui Miao.
“Shameless! The Immortal Emperor resorts to sneak attacks!”
Shui Miao didn’t miss any opportunity to mock and belittle Ao Hong, simultaneously activating the Time Pearl, dodging the flying swords, and appearing at Ao Hong’s side, launching a Fire Dragon Blast, instantly destroying several of Ao Hong’s defensive treasures. Before Ao Hong could fully react, Shui Miao swung his Ghost Head Blade, slashing Ao Hong’s clothes into tatters, leaving him in a sorry state.
“Haha! And you dare to call yourself the leader of the demon beasts?” Shui Miao laughed loudly, returning to his original position, grabbing the five flying swords, and throwing them towards the demon beasts, “Whose immortal artifacts are these? Take them now!”
Inspired by Shui Miao, the demon beasts scrambled to retrieve their own immortal artifacts.
Without waiting for Ao Hong to speak, Shui Miao activated the Time Pearl again, launching another Fire Dragon Blast at Ao Hong, followed by fierce slashes!
Several more of Ao Hong’s defensive treasures were destroyed.
Shui Miao’s Ghost Head Blade slashed fiercely, damaging several more defensive treasures.
※※※
Despite having defensive treasures and several top-grade immortal artifacts, Ao Hong was utterly defenseless against Shui Miao’s attacks.
Shui Miao’s speed was too fast, leaving the demon beasts trembling in fear, and He’er was also stunned.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s combination of lightning attacks and fierce slashes with the Ghost Head Blade was perfectly executed, blending magical and physical attacks. With inferior artifacts, how could Ao Hong withstand such an assault?
Even more terrifying, while Shui Miao launched a relentless attack on Ao Hong, he also employed psychological warfare, swaying everyone’s thoughts, successfully isolating Ao Hong from the demon beast race, making them despise him and unwilling to stand by his side, all eager to reclaim their own treasures, none considering helping him.
“Despicable!”
“Shui Miao, I will remember today’s humiliation, and I will return to find you! When that day comes, it will be your death!”
In despair, Ao Hong decided to flee before his last defensive treasure was destroyed. If he didn’t escape now, he might never get another chance.
Immediately, Ao Hong activated his magic power, preparing to use an escape technique.
“Trying to escape? Not so easy!”
Thinking quickly, Shui Miao accelerated his attack speed, pushing it to the limit.
“Shui Miao, I’ll help you…”
Suddenly, He’er spoke up.
He’er fully activated her spiritual power, infiltrating Ao Hong’s mind, blocking his escape.
“Ao Hong, return my top-grade immortal artifact!”
“And my defensive treasure…”
“He’s a disgrace to our demon beast race, stop him, kill him!”
Several Immortal Elder-level demon beasts, seeing Ao Hong’s downfall, actually turned to attack him.
Poor Ao Hong had fallen to such a state!
“Boom!”
Under the Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong’s last defensive treasure was destroyed.
His thoughts were interrupted by He’er, preventing him from using the escape technique.
If he were hit by another Fire Dragon Blast, his magic power would become numb, unable to activate, leading to a vicious cycle, ultimately being worn down to death by Shui Miao.
“I’ll fight you to the death!”
In desperation, to escape before Shui Miao launched another Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong, relying on his strong immortal body, suddenly detonated several top-grade immortal artifacts around him!
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“…”
The super shockwave from the artifact explosions swept everyone away.
Several weaker demon beasts were killed on the spot.
Shui Miao, protected by a supreme-grade defensive pearl, was unharmed, merely blown back several dozen meters.
Seizing the opportunity, Ao Hong, seeing everyone severely injured, didn’t flee immediately but instead flew towards He’er, who had also been blown away.
He intended to capture He’er, forcing her to dual cultivate with him to enhance his cultivation!
“Boom!”
He’er, possessing a spatial artifact, inspired by Ao Hong’s artifact explosion, also detonated her spatial artifact.
The explosion of the spatial artifact was quite ordinary.
But precisely because of this explosion, it delayed Ao Hong’s time.
“Ao Hong, you had the chance to escape, now you’re doomed!”
Shui Miao had already returned, launching a Fire Dragon Blast, the dragon’s roar resounding, directly hitting Ao Hong’s head!
Ao Hong’s heart sank, it’s over!
“Everyone, attack!”
“Kill the Immortal Emperor, obtain his aura, it will greatly benefit our cultivation.”
“This opportunity is once in a thousand years, if missed, we’ll regret it for life.”
Shui Miao, having succeeded, worried that Ao Hong might self-destruct, harming He’er, instead retreated, holding He’er’s waist, directly teleporting her into the Time Tower, while he himself flew to the side.
“Shui Miao, where is this? What are you doing?”
Suddenly entering the Time Tower, He’er was a bit confused.
Shui Miao’s voice echoed within the Time Tower, “This is inside one of my artifacts. Ao Hong might self-destruct, so it’s better for you to hide here.”
Even in such a situation, she was still considering my safety?
Learning that Shui Miao was protecting her, He’er felt a surge of sweetness, warmth, and happiness.
“By the way, Shui Miao, since Ao Hong is almost done for, why are you letting the demon beasts deal with him? You know, the Immortal Emperor’s body is a priceless treasure.” He’er’s thoughts turned, quickly asking.
“Ao Hong’s body is comparable to a supreme-grade immortal artifact. With my current strength and the artifacts I have, it’s impossible to kill him, only temporarily trap him.” Shui Miao watched from afar as the demon beasts attacked Ao Hong, suddenly having an idea, multitasking, the forging furnace inside the Time Tower automatically began smelting the Nuwa Stone, “In this situation, I only have one last method to try.”
“What, what method?” He’er quickly asked.
“You’ll know when the time comes.”
Watching the pitiful Ao Hong being beaten by the demon beasts, Shui Miao thought to himself, “I’ll use the Nuwa Stone to forge an artifact, even if it’s just a very fine needle, then use Ao Hong’s blood to quench it, perhaps I can refine a supreme artifact. Then, I won’t believe I can’t kill this Ao Hong!”
The Nuwa Stone was difficult to smelt, taking a long time to produce even a small amount of material.
But using this small amount of material to forge a needle was still possible.
However, embedding a formation within a needle was an extremely difficult task.
He wanted to capture He’er and force her into a dual cultivation session to enhance his cultivation!
“Boom!”
“You little brat, you only have a couple of supreme-grade immortal artifacts, right? I don’t believe that with so many of us, we can’t take you down! Everyone, charge! Kill him! Kill him!” After escaping from the Sacred Demon Mountain and gathering with a large number of demon beasts, Ao Hong had collected all the magical treasures from everyone and kept them on himself as a precaution.
He instantly activated over thirty defensive artifacts, forming a visible shield of light around his body.
He also possessed dozens of top-tier immortal artifacts and various magical treasures.
Ao Hong had actually noticed that Shui Miao’s cultivation level wasn’t particularly impressive, relying solely on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts.
Now, in this open space, he had allies, magical treasures, and had consumed many elixirs, restoring half of his cultivation. He didn’t believe that under such circumstances, he couldn’t defeat Shui Miao.
Indeed, Ao Hong’s subordinates were all formidable.
The tens of thousands of demon beasts that attacked the Sacred Demon Mountain hadn’t suffered many losses. Most of the demon beasts Ao Hong kept by his side were at the level of Immortal Lords and Immortal Elders, the absolute elite of the demon beast race.
“…”
The demon beasts didn’t move, glancing at each other, seemingly somewhat intimidated.
They couldn’t sense the cultivation level of the person before them, and this person had even forced Ao Hong to retreat several steps, clearly indicating that he was no ordinary individual.
It turned out that demon beasts weren’t all mindless killing machines.
Moreover, Ao Hong himself had mentioned that Shui Miao possessed two supreme-grade immortal artifacts. Everyone knew the immense power of such artifacts. No matter how foolish, no one would be stupid enough to confront supreme-grade immortal artifacts head-on.
Now, all the decent immortal artifacts they had were taken by Ao Hong.
With bare hands, what could they possibly use to fight?
Thus, the demon beasts didn’t act rashly.
Shui Miao, clever and astute, immediately saw through their thoughts and sneered loudly, “The mighty Immortal Emperor, the leader of the demon beast race, actually hides behind others upon seeing me, taking everyone’s magical treasures to protect himself, while leaving his unarmed subordinates to sacrifice their lives for him. You, the Immortal Emperor, are truly unprecedented and unparalleled. I know the demon beast race values honor, fears no death, and is filled with righteous spirit. But today, we have you, Ao Hong, who has utterly disgraced the demon beast race. Even I, an outsider, feel ashamed for you. What right do you have to lead everyone? You selfish, self-centered wretch, if you have the guts, step forward and face me one-on-one.”
Shui Miao’s words were filled with overwhelming dominance and heroism.
In contrast, Ao Hong appeared despicable and lowly, earning everyone’s disdain.
Indeed, Shui Miao’s words resonated with the demon beasts, who quickly dispersed, leaving Ao Hong and Shui Miao to face each other in a one-on-one duel.
“You little brat, who do you think you are? You only rely on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts, right? I was careless and got ambushed by you earlier, but now you dare to challenge me to a duel? You’re looking for death!” Ao Hong had no way out. He channeled all his Emperor’s Qi, ready to attack Shui Miao at any moment.
Ao Hong’s mouth seemed quite clumsy! Shui Miao sneered again, “So what if I have supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I crafted them myself. And you? You’re the Immortal Emperor, a supreme being who should lead and dominate the heavens. But you act like a pitiful wretch, even shamelessly wanting to dual cultivate with He’er. I’m truly embarrassed for you. You, a third-rate, insignificant dragon, aren’t even worthy of speaking to me.”
Shui Miao suddenly realized that his verbal skills were quite sharp as well!
“You, you, you’re asking for death!”
Enraged, Ao Hong immediately activated five flying swords, directly aiming to kill Shui Miao.
“Shameless! The Immortal Emperor resorts to sneak attacks!”
Shui Miao didn’t miss any opportunity to mock and belittle Ao Hong. At the same time, he activated the Time Pearl, swiftly dodging the flying swords and appearing beside Ao Hong. He immediately launched a Fire Dragon Strike, destroying several of Ao Hong’s defensive artifacts in one blow. Before Ao Hong could fully react, Shui Miao swung his Ghost Head Blade, slashing Ao Hong’s clothes into tatters, leaving him in a miserable state.
“Haha! And you dare call yourself the leader of the demon beasts?” Shui Miao laughed loudly, returning to his original position. He grabbed the five flying swords and threw them towards the demon beasts, “Whose immortal artifacts are these? Take them back now!”
Inspired by Shui Miao, the demon beasts scrambled to retrieve their own immortal artifacts.
Without waiting for Ao Hong to speak, Shui Miao activated the Time Pearl again, launching another Fire Dragon Strike and a fierce slash!
Several more of Ao Hong’s defensive artifacts were destroyed.
Shui Miao’s Ghost Head Blade slashed through several more defensive artifacts.
※※※
Despite having defensive artifacts and several top-tier immortal artifacts, Ao Hong was completely overwhelmed by Shui Miao’s attacks.
Shui Miao’s speed was simply too fast, leaving the demon beasts trembling in fear. Even He’er was left speechless.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s combination of lightning attacks and fierce slashes with the Ghost Head Blade was perfectly executed, blending magical and physical attacks. With their inferior artifacts, how could they possibly withstand such an assault?
Even more terrifying was that while Shui Miao relentlessly attacked Ao Hong, he was also waging psychological warfare, swaying everyone’s thoughts, successfully isolating Ao Hong from the demon beast race, making them look down on him and unwilling to side with him. Everyone was focused on retrieving their own magical treasures, with no one thinking of helping him.
“Damn it!”
“Shui Miao, I will remember today’s humiliation. I will come back for you! When that time comes, it will be your death!”
In desperation, Ao Hong decided to flee before his last defensive artifact was destroyed. If he didn’t escape now, he might never get another chance.
Immediately, Ao Hong channeled his energy, preparing to use an escape technique.
“Trying to escape? Not so easy!”
Thinking quickly, Shui Miao accelerated his attacks, pushing his speed to the limit.
“Shui Miao, I’ll help you…”
Suddenly, He’er spoke up.
He’er channeled all her spiritual energy, infiltrating Ao Hong’s mind, blocking his escape.
“Ao Hong, return my top-tier immortal artifact!”
“And my defensive artifact…”
“He’s a disgrace to our demon beast race. Stop him, kill him!”
Several Immortal Elders, seeing Ao Hong’s inevitable downfall, actually turned to attack him.
Poor Ao Hong had fallen to such a state!
“Boom!”
Under the Fire Dragon Strike, Ao Hong’s last defensive artifact was destroyed.
His thoughts were interrupted by He’er, preventing him from using the escape technique.
If he were hit by another Fire Dragon Strike, his energy would become numb, unable to be channeled, leading to a vicious cycle where he would eventually be worn down and killed by Shui Miao.
“I’ll fight you with everything I’ve got!”
In a desperate attempt to escape before Shui Miao launched another Fire Dragon Strike, Ao Hong, relying on his powerful immortal body, suddenly detonated several of his top-tier immortal artifacts around him!
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“…”
The massive shockwave from the explosion instantly sent everyone flying.
Several weaker demon beasts were killed on the spot.
Shui Miao, protected by his supreme-grade defensive pearl, was unharmed, merely blown back several dozen meters.
Seeing that he had severely injured everyone, Ao Hong didn’t flee immediately. Instead, he flew towards He’er, who had also been blown away.
He intended to capture He’er and force her into dual cultivation to enhance his own power!
“Boom!”
He’er possessed a spatial artifact. Inspired by Ao Hong’s self-detonation, she also detonated her spatial artifact.
The explosion from the spatial artifact was relatively weak.
But it was precisely this explosion that delayed Ao Hong.
“Ao Hong, you had a chance to escape, but now you’re doomed!”
Shui Miao had already returned, launching another Fire Dragon Strike. The roar of the dragon echoed as the attack struck Ao Hong’s head directly!
Ao Hong’s heart sank. It was over!
“Everyone, kill him!”
“Kill the Immortal Emperor and absorb his essence. It will greatly benefit our cultivation.”
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we miss it, we’ll regret it forever.”
After successfully striking Ao Hong, Shui Miao, fearing that Ao Hong might self-destruct and harm He’er, retreated, holding He’er’s waist and teleporting her into the Time Tower, while he himself flew to the side.
“Shui Miao, where is this? What are you doing?”
Suddenly finding herself in the Time Tower, He’er was a bit confused.
Shui Miao’s voice echoed within the Time Tower, “This is inside one of my artifacts. Ao Hong might self-destruct, so it’s safer for you to stay here.”
Even in such a situation, she was still concerned about my safety?
Realizing that Shui Miao was protecting her, He’er felt a wave of sweetness, warmth, and happiness.
“By the way, Shui Miao, since Ao Hong is almost done for, why are you letting the demon beasts deal with him? The body of an Immortal Emperor is a priceless treasure,” He’er quickly asked, her thoughts racing.
“Ao Hong’s body is comparable to a supreme-grade immortal artifact. With my current strength and the artifacts I have, it’s impossible to kill him. I can only temporarily trap him,” Shui Miao watched from afar as the demon beasts attacked Ao Hong. Suddenly, he had an idea and divided his attention. The forging furnace inside the Time Tower began to smelt the Nuwa Stone. “In this situation, I only have one last method to try.”
“What method?” He’er eagerly asked.
“You’ll find out soon.”
Watching the pitiful Ao Hong being beaten by the demon beasts, Shui Miao thought to himself, “I’ll use the Nuwa Stone to forge an immortal artifact, even if it’s just a tiny needle. Then, I’ll use Ao Hong’s blood to temper it. Perhaps I can create a supreme artifact. At that point, I won’t believe I can’t kill Ao Hong.”
The Nuwa Stone was difficult to smelt, taking a long time to produce even a small amount of material.
But with that small amount, forging a needle was still possible.
However, embedding a formation within such a tiny needle was an extremely challenging task.
The explosion of the spatial artifact had relatively weak power.
However, precisely because of this explosion, it delayed Ao Hong’s timing.
“Ao Hong, you had a chance to escape but didn’t take it. Now you’re definitely going to die!”
Shui Miao had already returned, launching the Fire Dragon Strike. The dragon’s roar was deafening, accurately hitting Ao Hong’s head!
Ao Hong’s heart sank. He was done for!
“Everyone, attack!”
“Kill the Immortal Emperor and obtain his imperial aura, which will greatly benefit our cultivation.”
“Such an opportunity is rare and precious. If we miss it, we’ll regret it for the rest of our lives.”
After successfully landing a blow, Shui Miao feared that Ao Hong might self-destruct and harm He’er. Instead, he retreated, wrapping his arm around He’er’s waist and directly teleporting her into the Time Tower, while he himself flew to the side.
“Shui Miao, where is this place? What are you doing?”
Suddenly entering the Time Tower, He’er was a bit confused.
Shui Miao’s heart stirred, and her voice echoed within the Time Tower, “This is inside one of my magical artifacts. This Ao Hong might resort to self-destruction, taking others down with him, so it’s better for you to hide here.”
In such a situation, she was still considering my safety?
Learning that Shui Miao did this to protect her, He’er felt a warm sweetness in her heart, feeling incredibly warm and happy.
“You little brat, you only have a couple of supreme-grade immortal artifacts, right? I don’t believe that with so many of us, we can’t take you down! Everyone, attack together, kill him! Kill him!” Ao Hong, since escaping from the Sacred Demon Mountain and gathering with a large number of demon beasts, had collected all their magical treasures and kept them on himself as a precaution.
He instantly activated over thirty protective artifacts, forming a visible shield of light around his body.
He also possessed dozens of top-grade immortal artifacts and various magical treasures.
Ao Hong had actually realized that Shui Miao’s cultivation level wasn’t that impressive, relying solely on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts.
Now, in this open space, he had his subordinates, his treasures, and had consumed many elixirs, restoring half of his cultivation. He didn’t believe that under such circumstances, he couldn’t defeat Shui Miao.
Indeed, Ao Hong’s subordinates were all powerful.
The tens of thousands of demon beast army that attacked the Sacred Demon Mountain hadn’t suffered many losses. Most of the demon beasts Ao Hong kept by his side were at the level of Immortal Lords and Immortal Elders, the absolute main force of the demon beast clan.
“…”
The demon beasts didn’t move, looking at each other, seemingly somewhat intimidated.
They couldn’t probe the cultivation level of the person before them, and this person had even forced Ao Hong to retreat several steps, indicating that he was definitely not an ordinary person.
It turned out that demon beasts weren’t all mindless killing machines.
Moreover, Ao Hong himself had said that Shui Miao possessed two supreme-grade immortal artifacts. Everyone knew the immense power of such artifacts. No matter how foolish, they wouldn’t be foolish enough to pit their heads against supreme-grade immortal artifacts, right?
Now, all the decent immortal artifacts they had were taken by Ao Hong.
Bare-handed, what could they use to fight?
Thus, the demon beasts didn’t act rashly.
Shui Miao, clever and astute, immediately saw through their thoughts and sneered loudly, “The mighty Immortal Emperor, the leader of the demon beast clan, actually hides behind others upon seeing me, taking everyone’s treasures to save himself, while letting unarmed subordinates sacrifice their lives to protect you. You, the Immortal Emperor, are truly unprecedented and unparalleled. I know the demon beast clan values honor, fears no death, and are righteous divine beasts. But today, we have you, Ao Hong, who has utterly disgraced the demon beast clan. Even I, an outsider, blush for you. What right do you have to lead everyone? You selfish, self-centered wretch, if you have the guts, step forward and face me one-on-one.”
Shui Miao’s words were filled with overwhelming dominance and heroism.
In contrast, Ao Hong appeared despicable and lowly, earning everyone’s disdain.
Indeed, Shui Miao’s words resonated with the demon beasts, who scattered, leaving Ao Hong and Shui Miao to face each other one-on-one.
“You little brat, who do you think you are? You only rely on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts, right? I was careless and got ambushed by you earlier. Now you dare to boast and challenge me to a duel? You’re seeking death!” Ao Hong had no way out. He channeled all his Emperor’s Qi, ready to attack Shui Miao at any moment.
This Ao Hong seems quite clumsy with words! Shui Miao sneered again, “So what if I have supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I crafted them myself. And you? You’re the Immortal Emperor, a supreme being who should lead subordinates and dominate the heavens. But you act like a pitiful wretch, even lusting after He’er for dual cultivation. I’m truly ashamed for you. You, a third-rate, insignificant little dragon, are unworthy to speak to me here.”
Shui Miao suddenly realized that his verbal skills were quite sharp too!
“You, you, you’re seeking death!”
Ao Hong, furious and humiliated, immediately activated five flying swords, directly attacking Shui Miao.
“Shameless! The Immortal Emperor resorts to sneak attacks!”
Shui Miao didn’t miss any opportunity to mock and belittle Ao Hong. At the same time, he activated the Time Pearl, swiftly dodging the flying swords and appearing beside Ao Hong. He immediately launched a Fire Dragon Blast, destroying several of Ao Hong’s protective artifacts. Before Ao Hong could fully react, Shui Miao swung his Ghost Head Blade wildly, cutting Ao Hong’s clothes to shreds, leaving him in a sorry state.
“Haha! And you have the audacity to lead the demon beasts?” Shui Miao laughed loudly, returning to his original spot. He grabbed the five flying swords and threw them towards the demon beasts, “Whose immortal artifacts are these? Take them back now!”
Inspired by Shui Miao, the demon beasts scrambled to retrieve their artifacts.
Without waiting for Ao Hong to speak, Shui Miao activated the Time Pearl again, launching another Fire Dragon Blast at Ao Hong, followed by a fierce slash!

The tens of thousands of demon beasts that attacked the Sacred Demon Mountain hadn’t suffered many losses. Most of the demon beasts Ao Hong kept by his side were at the level of Immortal Lords and Immortal Elders, the absolute elite of the demon beast race.
“…”
The demon beasts didn’t move, glancing at each other, seemingly wary.
They couldn’t gauge the cultivation level of the person before them, and the fact that this person had forced Ao Hong to retreat several steps indicated that he was no ordinary individual.
It proved that demon beasts weren’t entirely mindless brutes.
Moreover, Ao Hong himself had mentioned that Shui Miao possessed two supreme-grade immortal artifacts. The immense power of such artifacts was well-known. No matter how foolish, no one would be stupid enough to pit their head against a supreme-grade immortal artifact.
Now, with their better artifacts confiscated by Ao Hong, the demon beasts were left unarmed. What could they possibly use to fight?
Thus, the demon beasts hesitated to act rashly.
Shui Miao, clever and sharp-witted, immediately saw through their thoughts and sneered loudly, “The mighty Immortal Emperor, the leader of the demon beast race, actually hides behind others, confiscates their treasures to save himself, and then sends his unarmed subordinates to sacrifice their lives for him. You’re truly unprecedented, Ao Hong. I know the demon beast race values honor, fears no death, and is filled with righteous and heroic beasts. But today, you’ve brought shame to your entire race. Even I, an outsider, feel embarrassed for you. How can you lead anyone? You’re nothing but a selfish, pitiful worm. If you have the guts, step forward and face me one-on-one.”
Shui Miao’s words were filled with dominance and valor.
In contrast, Ao Hong appeared despicable and lowly, earning nothing but disdain.
Indeed, Shui Miao’s words resonated with the demon beasts, who quickly dispersed, leaving Ao Hong and Shui Miao to face each other in a duel.
“You little brat, who do you think you are? You’re just relying on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts! I was careless earlier and got ambushed by you, but now you dare to challenge me to a duel? You’re asking for death!” Ao Hong, with no way out, channeled all his emperor’s energy, ready to attack Shui Miao at any moment.
Ao Hong’s tongue seemed clumsy! Shui Miao sneered again, “What’s wrong with me having supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I crafted them myself. And you? You’re an Immortal Emperor, a being who should stand above all, commanding subordinates and shaking the heavens. But you act like a pitiful worm, even shamelessly trying to dual cultivate with He’er. I’m truly ashamed for you. A third-rate, insignificant dragon like you isn’t even worthy of speaking to me!”
Shui Miao suddenly realized that his verbal skills were quite sharp as well.
“You… you’re asking for death!”
Ao Hong, furious, immediately summoned five flying swords, aiming to strike Shui Miao.
“Shameless! An Immortal Emperor resorting to sneak attacks!”
Shui Miao didn’t miss any opportunity to mock and belittle Ao Hong. At the same time, he activated the Time Pearl, swiftly dodging the flying swords and appearing at Ao Hong’s side. He unleashed a Fire Dragon Blast, instantly destroying several of Ao Hong’s defensive artifacts. Before Ao Hong could fully react, Shui Miao swung his Ghost Head Blade, slashing Ao Hong’s clothes into tatters, leaving him in a pitiful state.
“Haha! And you dare call yourself the leader of the demon beasts?” Shui Miao laughed loudly, returning to his original position. He grabbed the five flying swords and threw them toward the demon beasts, “Whose artifacts are these? Take them back now!”
Inspired by Shui Miao, the demon beasts scrambled to retrieve their artifacts.
Without waiting for Ao Hong to speak, Shui Miao activated the Time Pearl again, launching another Fire Dragon Blast and a series of fierce slashes!
Several more of Ao Hong’s defensive artifacts were destroyed.
Shui Miao’s Ghost Head Blade also damaged several more artifacts.
※※※
Despite having defensive artifacts and several top-grade immortal artifacts, Ao Hong was completely overwhelmed by Shui Miao’s attacks.
Shui Miao’s speed was simply too fast, leaving the demon beasts trembling in fear, and even He’er was left in awe.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s combination of lightning attacks and fierce slashes with the Ghost Head Blade was perfectly executed, blending both magical and physical assaults. With their artifacts inferior to Shui Miao’s, how could they possibly withstand such attacks?
Even more terrifying was that while Shui Miao unleashed a storm of attacks on Ao Hong, he was also waging psychological warfare, manipulating the thoughts of the demon beasts, successfully isolating Ao Hong from his race. The demon beasts now looked down on him, unwilling to stand by his side, all eager to reclaim their artifacts, with no one considering helping him.
“Damn it!”
“Shui Miao, I’ll remember today’s humiliation. I’ll come back for you! And when I do, it’ll be your death!”
In desperation, Ao Hong decided to flee before his last defensive artifact was destroyed. If he didn’t escape now, he might never get another chance.
Immediately, Ao Hong channeled his energy, preparing to use an escape technique.
“Trying to run? Not so easy!”
Thinking quickly, Shui Miao accelerated his attacks, pushing his speed to the limit.
“Shui Miao, I’ll help you…”
Suddenly, He’er spoke up.
He’er channeled all her mental energy, infiltrating Ao Hong’s thoughts, blocking his escape.
“Ao Hong, return my top-grade immortal artifact!”
“And my defensive artifact…”
“He’s a disgrace to our demon beast race. Stop him, kill him!”
Several Immortal Elders, seeing Ao Hong’s downfall, actually turned to attack him.
Poor Ao Hong had fallen to such a state!
“Boom!”
Under the Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong’s last defensive artifact was destroyed.
His thoughts were disrupted by He’er, preventing him from using the escape technique.
If he were hit by another Fire Dragon Blast, his energy would become paralyzed, unable to be channeled, leading to a vicious cycle that would eventually result in Shui Miao wearing him down to death.
“I’ll fight you to the death!”
In a desperate attempt to escape before Shui Miao launched another Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong, relying on his powerful immortal body, suddenly detonated several of his top-grade immortal artifacts around him!
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“…”
The massive shockwaves from the artifact explosions sent everyone flying.
Several weaker demon beasts were killed on the spot.
Shui Miao, protected by his supreme-grade defensive pearl, was unharmed, merely blown back several dozen meters.
Seeing that he had severely injured everyone, Ao Hong didn’t flee immediately. Instead, he flew toward He’er, who had also been blown away.
He intended to capture He’er and force her into dual cultivation to enhance his power!
“Boom!”
He’er, possessing a spatial artifact, inspired by Ao Hong’s artifact explosion, detonated her own spatial artifact.
The explosion of the spatial artifact was relatively weak.
But precisely because of this explosion, it delayed Ao Hong’s advance.
“Ao Hong, you had a chance to escape, but now you’re doomed!”
Shui Miao had already returned, launching another Fire Dragon Blast. The roar of the dragon echoed as the attack struck Ao Hong’s head directly!
Ao Hong’s heart sank. It was over.
“Everyone, attack!”
“Kill the Immortal Emperor! Absorb his essence—it will greatly enhance our cultivation!”
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we miss it, we’ll regret it forever.”
Shui Miao, having landed a successful blow, worried that Ao Hong might self-destruct and harm He’er, retreated instead. He grabbed He’er’s waist and teleported her into the Time Tower, then flew to a safe distance.
“Shui Miao, where is this? What are you doing?”
Suddenly finding herself in the Time Tower, He’er was momentarily confused.
Shui Miao’s voice echoed within the tower, “This is inside one of my artifacts. Ao Hong might self-destruct, so it’s safer for you to stay here.”
Even in such a situation, he’s still thinking of my safety?
Realizing that Shui Miao was protecting her, He’er felt a wave of sweetness, warmth, and happiness.
“Shui Miao, since Ao Hong is almost finished, why did you let the demon beasts deal with him? The body of an Immortal Emperor is an invaluable treasure,” He’er quickly asked, her thoughts racing.
“Ao Hong’s body is comparable to a supreme-grade immortal artifact. With my current strength and the artifacts I have, killing him is impossible. I can only temporarily trap him,” Shui Miao watched from afar as the demon beasts attacked Ao Hong. Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he split his focus. Inside the Time Tower, the forging furnace began to smelt the Nuwa Stone. “In this situation, I can only try one last method.”
“What method?” He’er eagerly inquired.
“You’ll see.”
Watching the pitiful Ao Hong being beaten by the demon beasts, Shui Miao thought to himself, “I’ll use the Nuwa Stone to forge an artifact, even if it’s just a tiny needle. Then, I’ll use Ao Hong’s blood to temper it. Perhaps I can create a supreme artifact. Then, I’ll see if I can’t kill this Ao Hong!”
The Nuwa Stone was difficult to smelt, requiring a long time to produce even a small amount of material.
But with that small amount, forging a needle was still possible.
However, embedding a formation within such a tiny needle was an extremely challenging task.
“What? What method?” He’er quickly asked.
“You’ll find out when the time comes.”
“You little brat, you think you’re so great just because you have a couple of supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I don’t believe that with so many of us, we can’t take you down! Everyone, attack together, kill him! Kill him!” Ao Hong, since escaping from the Sacred Demon Mountain and gathering with a large number of demon beasts, had collected all the magical treasures from everyone and kept them on himself as a precaution.
He instantly activated over thirty defensive artifacts, forming a visible shield of light around his body.
He also possessed dozens of top-grade immortal artifacts and various magical treasures.
Ao Hong had indeed noticed that Shui Miao’s cultivation level wasn’t particularly high; his reliance was merely on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts.
Now, in this open space, with his subordinates, his treasures, and having consumed many elixirs to restore half of his cultivation, he didn’t believe he couldn’t match Shui Miao.
Indeed, Ao Hong’s subordinates were all strong.
The tens of thousands of demon beast army that attacked the Sacred Demon Mountain didn’t suffer many losses. Most of the demon beasts Ao Hong kept by his side were at the level of Immortal Lords and Immortal Elders, the absolute main force of the demon beast clan.
“…”
The demon beasts didn’t move, looking at each other, seemingly somewhat intimidated.
They couldn’t probe the cultivation level of the person before them, and this person had even forced Ao Hong to retreat several steps, clearly not an ordinary individual.
It proved that demon beasts weren’t all mindless killers.
Moreover, Ao Hong himself had mentioned that Shui Miao possessed two supreme-grade immortal artifacts, whose immense power was well-known. No matter how foolish, one wouldn’t be so stupid as to pit their head against a supreme-grade immortal artifact.
Now, the better immortal artifacts everyone had were taken by Ao Hong.
With bare hands, what could they use to fight?
Thus, the demon beasts didn’t act rashly.
Shui Miao, clever and astute, saw through their thoughts and sneered loudly, “The great Immortal Emperor, the leader of the demon beast clan, seeing me, actually hides behind, taking everyone’s treasures to save himself, yet expects the unarmed to sacrifice their lives to protect you. You, the Immortal Emperor, are truly unprecedented. I know the demon beast clan values honor, fearless of death, righteous and heroic divine beasts, but today, we have you, Ao Hong, who has utterly disgraced the demon beast clan. Even I, an outsider, blush for you. What right do you have to lead everyone, you selfish, self-centered wretch? If you have the guts, step forward and face me one-on-one.”
Shui Miao’s words were filled with overwhelming dominance and heroism.
In contrast, Ao Hong appeared despicable and lowly, earning everyone’s disdain.
Indeed, Shui Miao’s words resonated with the demon beasts, who scattered, leaving Ao Hong and Shui Miao to face each other one-on-one.
“You little brat, who do you think you are, relying on a few supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I was just caught off guard by your sneak attack earlier, and now you dare to boast about challenging me? You’re seeking death!” Ao Hong, with no way out, fully activated his emperor’s aura, ready to attack Shui Miao at any moment.
Ao Hong’s mouth seemed quite clumsy! Shui Miao sneered again, “What if I have supreme-grade immortal artifacts? I forged them myself. And you? You’re the Immortal Emperor, a supreme being who should lead subordinates and dominate the heavens. Yet, you act like a pitiful wretch, even shamelessly wanting to dual cultivate with He’er. I’m truly ashamed for you. How does a third-rate, insignificant villain like you deserve to speak to me?”
Shui Miao suddenly realized his verbal skills were quite sharp!
“You, you, you’re seeking death!”
Ao Hong, enraged, immediately activated five flying swords, directly attacking Shui Miao.
“Shameless, the Immortal Emperor resorts to sneak attacks!”
Shui Miao didn’t miss any opportunity to mock and belittle Ao Hong, while simultaneously activating the Time Pearl, dodging the flying swords, and appearing at Ao Hong’s side, launching a Fire Dragon Blast, instantly destroying several of Ao Hong’s defensive artifacts. Before Ao Hong could fully react, Shui Miao swung the Ghost Head Blade wildly, cutting Ao Hong’s clothes into tatters, leaving him in a sorry state.
“Haha! How dare you call yourself the leader of the demon beasts?” Shui Miao laughed loudly, returning to his original position, grabbing the five flying swords, and throwing them towards the demon beasts, “Whose immortal artifacts are these? Take them now!”
Inspired by Shui Miao, the demon beasts scrambled to retrieve their own immortal artifacts.
Without waiting for Ao Hong to speak, Shui Miao activated the Time Pearl again, launching another Fire Dragon Blast at Ao Hong, followed by fierce slashes!
Several more of Ao Hong’s defensive artifacts were destroyed.
Shui Miao’s Ghost Head Blade slashed fiercely, damaging several more defensive artifacts.
※※※
Despite having defensive artifacts and several top-grade immortal artifacts, Ao Hong was utterly overwhelmed by Shui Miao.
Shui Miao’s speed was terrifyingly fast, leaving the demon beasts trembling with fear, and He’er was also stunned.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s combination of lightning attacks and fierce slashes with the Ghost Head Blade was perfectly executed, blending magical and physical attacks. With inferior artifacts, how could Ao Hong possibly withstand it?
Even more terrifying was that while Shui Miao attacked Ao Hong like a storm, he also waged psychological warfare, successfully isolating Ao Hong from the demon beast clan, making the demon beasts despise him, unwilling to side with him, all eager to reclaim their own treasures, none thinking to help him.
“Despicable!”
“Shui Miao, I will remember today’s humiliation, and I will return to find you! That day will be your death!”
In despair, Ao Hong decided to flee before his last defensive artifact was destroyed. If he didn’t escape now, he might never get another chance.
Immediately, Ao Hong channeled his energy, preparing to use an escape technique.
“Trying to escape? Not so easy!”
Thinking quickly, Shui Miao accelerated his attacks, pushing his speed to the limit.
“Shui Miao, I’ll help you…”
Suddenly, He’er spoke up.
He’er fully activated her mental energy, infiltrating Ao Hong’s thoughts, blocking his escape.
“Ao Hong, return my top-grade immortal artifact!”
“And my defensive artifact…”
“He’s the disgrace of our demon beast clan, stop him, kill him!”
Several Immortal Elders, seeing Ao Hong’s downfall, actually turned to attack Ao Hong.
Poor Ao Hong had fallen to such a state!
“Boom!”
Under the Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong’s last defensive artifact was destroyed.
His thoughts were interrupted by He’er, preventing him from using the escape technique.
If he were hit by another Fire Dragon Blast, his energy would become numb, unable to be activated, leading to a vicious cycle, ultimately being worn down to death by Shui Miao.
“I’ll fight you with everything I’ve got!”
In desperation, to escape before Shui Miao launched another Fire Dragon Blast, Ao Hong, relying on his strong immortal body, suddenly caused several top-grade immortal artifacts in his hands to self-destruct around him!
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“…”
The super shockwave from the self-destruction of the immortal artifacts swept everyone away.
Several weaker demon beasts were instantly killed.
Shui Miao, protected by a supreme-grade defensive pearl, was unharmed, merely blown back several dozen meters.
Seeing that he had severely injured everyone, Ao Hong didn’t flee immediately but instead flew towards He’er, who had also been blown away.
He intended to capture He’er, forcing her to dual cultivate with him to enhance his cultivation!
“Boom!”
He’er, possessing a spatial artifact, inspired by Ao Hong’s self-destruction of his artifacts, also self-destructed her spatial artifact.
The self-destruction of the spatial artifact was generally not very powerful.
But precisely because of this self-destruction, it delayed Ao Hong’s time.
“Ao Hong, you had the chance to escape, now you’re doomed!”
Shui Miao had already returned, launching the Fire Dragon Blast, the dragon’s roar resounding, directly hitting Ao Hong’s head!
Ao Hong’s heart sank, it’s over!
“Everyone, attack!”
“Kill the Immortal Emperor, obtain his aura, it will greatly benefit our cultivation.”
“This opportunity is once in a lifetime, if missed, we’ll regret it forever.”
Shui Miao, having succeeded, worried that Ao Hong might self-destruct and harm He’er, instead retreated, holding He’er’s waist, directly moving her into the Time Tower, and flew aside himself.
“Shui Miao, where is this, what are you doing?”
Suddenly entering the Time Tower, He’er was a bit confused.
Shui Miao’s heart stirred, his voice echoed within the Time Tower, “This is inside one of my artifacts. Ao Hong might go all out, self-destructing his demon body, so it’s better for you to hide here.”
She, in such a situation, was still considering my safety?
Realizing Shui Miao was protecting her, He’er felt a wave of sweetness, warmth, and happiness.
“By the way, Shui Miao, since Ao Hong is almost done for, why did you let the demon beasts deal with him? You know, the Immortal Emperor’s demon body is a priceless treasure.” He’er’s thoughts turned, quickly asking.
“Ao Hong’s demon body is comparable to a supreme-grade immortal artifact. With my current strength and the artifacts I have, it’s impossible to kill him, only to temporarily trap him.” Shui Miao watched from afar as the demon beasts attacked Ao Hong, suddenly his thoughts turned, multitasking, the refining furnace inside the Time Tower automatically began to smelt the Nuwa Stone, “In this situation, I only have one last method to try.”
“What, what method?” He’er quickly asked.
“You’ll know when the time comes.”
Watching the pitiful Ao Hong being beaten by the demon beasts, Shui Miao thought to himself, “I’ll use the Nuwa Stone to forge an immortal artifact, even if it’s just a very thin embroidery needle, then use Ao Hong’s blood to quench it, perhaps I can refine a supreme artifact. Then, I won’t believe I can’t kill this Ao Hong?”
The Nuwa Stone is difficult to smelt, taking a long time to produce even a tiny amount of material.
But, using this tiny amount of material to forge a needle is still possible.
However, embedding a formation within a needle is an extremely difficult task.
The Nuwa Stone was difficult to smelt, requiring a long time to produce even a small amount of material.
However, forging a needle from this small amount of material was still possible.
Still, engraving a formation inside a needle was an extremely difficult task.
