Yang Yan suddenly laughed.

"So you are the test of the third stage? In that case, I have nothing to fear."

As soon as he finished speaking, Star Night was already in his hand, and his figure flickered, charging towards Zi Xu Old Demon like lightning.

This was a collision between a mid-stage Emperor Realm and a high-stage Emperor Realm!

Fully unsealed, Yang Yan was already standing at the pinnacle of the world.

In fact, even he didn't know where his limits truly lay.

A battle like this, in the Otherworld, with nothing to worry about, made him feel extremely exhilarated.

This time, Yang Yan decided to fight to his heart's content!

Currently, Zi Xu Old Demon had grown into a gigantic demon from the Demon Race, standing four meters tall.

At this moment, he no longer resembled a human, only the face of a monster remained.

A face so blurry it was almost indistinguishable, with a mouth at the center opening and closing in furious roars:

"You'll regret this! You will definitely regret this!"

His two legs had turned into four, but the front two were supposed to be arms, which had transformed into sharp bladed limbs.

"Slash!"

Zi Xu Old Demon slashed with one blade, and Yang Yan swiftly retreated.

If that slash hit, it would be normal for his body to be cut in half.

"So your true form is this ugly? If becoming demonic makes one this ugly, I wouldn't want Divine Realm powers even if you gave them to me!"

Yang Yan mocked.

Simultaneously, he lightly tapped his feet in mid-air, as a faint blue light began to flow continuously over Star Night.

Amidst the darkness, it appeared even more mysterious and eerie.

"Rise!"

With a loud shout from Yang Yan, the stone slabs on the ground shockingly began to lift off rapidly.

These stone slabs seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, all converging at once, hurling fiercely toward the massive body of Zi Xu Old Demon.

The material of these slabs was extraordinary, and Yang Yan had long noticed their peculiarities.

At this moment, with Zi Xu Old Demon's enormous body, in a confined space, they were the perfect counter against him, like a stroke of genius.

"Hiss!"

"Hiss!"

In his anger, Zi Xu Old Demon emitted an insect-like hiss, sounding particularly chilling.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom…

One by one, the stone slabs exploded, being sliced and shattered by Zi Xu Old Demon's wielded bladed limbs, or smashed to pieces.

In an instant, countless shattered stones turned into flying projectiles brimming with force, rebounding towards Yang Yan.

These stones, after being propelled by Yang Yan's power toward Zi Xu, were bounced back by Zi Xu's force.

Under such high pressure, there were still so many fragments not entirely crushed.

With the combined force of both Yang Yan and Zi Xu, the destructive power reached an immensely terrifying level!

Even Yang Yan dared not be the slightest bit careless.

He tightened his nerves, gripping Star Night, quickly drawing a circle in front of him, shouting angrily:

"Break!"

The blue light instantly bloomed around Yang Yan's body.

A huge blue light shield suddenly appeared, enveloping him tightly.

Countless fragments began to rain down on Yang Yan like raindrops.

Boom! Boom! Boom…

It felt like sitting in a car when suddenly fist-sized hail began pouring from the sky, leaving one worried the windshield might shatter at any moment.

However, Yang Yan had full confidence in the barrier he maintained.

After a storm, all the stone fragments reflecting back from Zi Xu Old Demon crashed into the barrier, exploding apart one after another, finally turning into powder and dissipating into the air.

Everything returned to silence, time seemed to momentarily pause.

In an instant, an inexplicable oppression spread, with a suffocating sense.

Facing Yang Yan, Zi Xu Old Demon's enormous body was riddled with wounds, a sight too dreadful to witness.

Even with his powers, it was impossible to completely fend off such a frightful attack.

His injuries were far more severe than Yang Yan's!

Yang Yan only suffered from energy depletion, not truly significant harm.

As time ticked away, both were frantically restoring energy in this strange standoff.

Comparatively, Zi Xu Old Demon should be the most aggrieved.

Because not only could he not restore his own power, but he also had to expend more to quickly heal his wounds.

At this moment, a vague panic set in his heart.

Knowing that even with the limitations of the Demon Cave's Rule, he possessed high-stage Emperor Realm strength.

And it was the last step of the Emperor Realm, the ninth level!

Whereas Yang Yan, at mid-stage Emperor Realm, was only at the sixth level. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Yet he could fight him to a draw!

More precisely, after a fierce contest, while he was seriously injured, Yang Yan was relatively unharmed!

Such a monster?!

Although shocked, after the panic, Zi Xu Old Demon regained his confidence.

Everywhere here was filled with Demonic Qi, and he could restore himself by absorbing it at will, only needing some time.

In contrast, for Yang Yan to recover, he could only rely on himself, consuming considerable energy.

With this disparity, he was confident he could remain undefeated.

With this determination, he looked at Yang Yan as if eyeing prey.

The gap in their realms also predestined a vast difference in their energy quality and reserves.

Though Zi Xu Old Demon didn't know why Yang Yan's energy purity was more terrifying than his own.

But it didn't matter, this was his home ground!

To use a soccer analogy, this wasn't the national team, it was Barca.

Zi Xu Old Demon, unwilling to give Yang Yan more time to recover, soon made a surprise attack.

His two massive bladed limbs sealed off Yang Yan's retreat from both sides.

With the sudden assault, Yang Yan missed the chance for an instant escape.

"Zi Xu Old Demon, today I'm determined to smash your face to vent my anger!"

Under such circumstances, Yang Yan surprisingly maintained a smile, teasing himself with a playful tone, startling Zi Xu Old Demon.

With another roar, the two bladed limbs closed in even faster!

Boom!

That was the sound of Zi Xu Old Demon's two bladed limbs striking together fiercely.

At the crucial moment, Yang Yan pulled himself up, stepping onto the closed blades of Zi Xu Old Demon.

The next second!

With a step up, he propelled himself into the air, gripping the deep blue Star Night in both hands, looking like a god of death from hell in Zi Xu Old Demon's terrified eyes of disbelief!

Meanwhile, Zi Xu's two bladed limbs seemed to be kicked apart by Yang Yan's powerful step.

After a violent clash, the two bladed limbs abruptly separated.

The self-inflicted recoil left Zi Xu Old Demon powerless to face Yang Yan's attack.

He staggered back three steps!

Still shaken, Zi Xu Old Demon barely steadied himself when he suddenly looked up.

The next moment, his pupils suddenly shrunk.

Yang Yan had already transformed into a bolt of lightning, striking directly above Zi Xu Old Demon's head.

Boom!

The radiant Star Night cleaved down, aiming straight for the distorted human face that looked out of place on the gigantic body.

The cold and ruthless Star Night couldn't understand the enemy's fear and despair.

Unhindered, it sliced fiercely into the face that made it feel nauseated.
