The Earth Element Spirit Ship moved at an incredible speed, and the island below appeared in no time.

Li Mu had the Chi Lian Fire Phoenix summon the Celestial Fire Tripod and then absorbed the Extreme Yang Celestial Fire into his body. To battle a Tier Seven Water True Spirit, the Extreme Yang Celestial Fire was the perfect counter.

"You all help me manage the array, and meanwhile, pay attention to Qing Yue’s tribulation crossing. Make sure no one approaches or disturbs it," Li Mu instructed his group of beast companions before leaving.

"Master, that old man’s power is extraordinary. How about you let me handle this battle!"

Xiaojin looked at Li Mu, filled with worry, and spoke anxiously.

"Yes, Master!"

...

Xiaowa and the Ginseng King also followed with concern.

"Don’t worry, I have my own strategies to deal with this!" Li Mu smiled and waved his hand, then flew away from the Earth Element Spirit Ship, heading towards the island below at high speed.

Even before Li Mu landed, he quickly threw a few Array Tokens which penetrated the island and activated the protective array.

"Crafty human cultivator, what are you doing!"

The White Whale Demon Emperor saw this and a hint of alertness flashed in his eyes, and he questioned harshly.

"Don’t judge a nobleman’s heart with a villain’s mind. Can’t you see what I’m doing! This island is extremely fragile. Without bolstering the protective array, can it withstand the upcoming battle?" Li Mu chuckled and responded.

"Dare to insult this emperor, perish!" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

The White Whale Demon Emperor, momentarily speechless and enraged, stopped exchanging words with Li Mu, and swung his trident long spear fiercely at him, with overwhelming force and unparalleled might.

"Boom!" A loud bang echoed as the White Whale Demon Emperor’s spear pierced through Li Mu’s body, unleashing a violent force.

"Bang!" The body of Li Mu, pierced by the trident long spear, turned into a piece of wood, bursting into fragments — a Wood Escape clone.

Li Mu’s original form emerged from the ground, showcasing his Five Elements Dao Body in full state, surrounded by five-colored spiritual power. His skin shone with a faint golden hue, as if bathed in sunlight reflecting on jade, his long hair fluttered, tinged with spiritual fire, turning red. Below him, grey spiritual power gathered, constantly drawing the island’s Earth Element Power, and levitating him in the air. Above, water elemental spiritual power from the sea gathered,....

This battle marked Li Mu’s encounter with the strongest enemy, a Tier Seven Demon Emperor, without relying on his five beast companions. He had no choice but to unleash his full strength, revealing his Five Elements Dao Body, and exerting his Spirit Devouring Health Technique and Star Nebula Visualization Method to their fullest.

In previous battles, he had either relied on his Five Elements Beasts to repel enemies or relied on Spirit Treasures. But never before had he fought directly using his cultivation techniques, solely relying on his own strength to confront the enemy head-on.

Now facing this Tier Seven Demon Emperor, whose physical strength was extraordinary yet slightly lacking in other areas, Li Mu regarded it as an excellent sharpening stone, curious to see if he could hold his own against the Tier Seven Demon Emperor by employing all of his close-combat skills.

"Power of the Five Elements!"

The White Whale Demon Emperor’s face turned uncertain as he observed the opponent’s state. He originally thought he could easily take down this Nascent Soul cultivator, but earlier, his sure-strike had been effortlessly evaded by the opponent’s use of the Five Elements Escape Technique, forcing him to reevaluate the adversary before him.

The power of the Five Elements is the foundation of all Dao and the origin of all things.

Each of the five elements embodies infinite mysteries, enough to make countless cultivators exhaust their efforts, spending a lifetime chasing after them.

However, the power of the Five Elements released by this Nascent Soul cultivator was cohesively gathering, manifesting in such a solid form, even forming a Five Elements Body, indicating deep mastery in the Dao of the Five Elements.

The White Whale Demon Emperor’s expression became grim, discarding his former contempt, realizing that this Nascent Soul cultivator was definitely no ordinary being.

At that moment, Li Mu reached out and grabbed, summoning a Tier Six Gold Spiritual Ship from his Storage Compartment, holding it in hand, his figure flickered, carrying countless afterimages as he slashed towards the White Whale Demon Emperor.

The White Whale Demon Emperor was unafraid, thrusting his trident straight towards the enemy’s critical point.

"Bang!" A loud explosion resonated, causing the earth and skies to pause briefly, a powerful energetic fluctuation swept from the island’s center outward in all directions.

Li Mu and the White Whale Demon Emperor separated after their initial clash, then continued fiercely striking at each other, as the spirit sword and trident long spear collided hard together, with afterimages repeatedly flashing, the pace of both parties intensified quickly, each impact swifter than the last.

"Bang bang..." The continuous loud explosions were unending, the island was filled with their figures, the island’s surface sank, giant rocks fragmented.

Under the intense collisions, the protective island array that Li Mu previously set was showing signs of disintegration.

As the two were evenly matched, intensely fighting, overhead, the Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon faced the descent of the Tier Seven True Spirit Thunder Tribulation.

"Crack!" With a noise like thunder, the sky seemed to break open, a massive bolt of lightning tore through the heavens, slashing down from the vortex-like clouds, striking towards the giant cyan flood dragon in the air.

"Aow!"

The Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon let out a wretched cry to the sky, despite being mentally prepared, yet when the lightning crashed onto its body, enveloping it in vivid light, with electric currents surging through all over, passing rapidly between its scales, the intense pain still caused the Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon to tremble all over in fear.

Luckily, having heeded its master’s advice to cultivate the Spirit Devouring Health Technique to perfection, its physical body strength soared tens, hundreds of times, otherwise the first tribulation thunder would have taken its life.

Panic flashed in the eyes of the Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon, but remorse vanished, it stood firm, courageously enduring the baptism of the thunder.
