Swoosh——

A gaping wound appeared, deep enough to see the bone.

Having landed a hit, Yang Yan was ready to press on with a second strike.

According to Yang Yan's expectations, the Sand King should have been cleaved in two; at the very least, he expected to inflict severe damage.

Thus, he was actually unsatisfied with this outcome.

This realization made him aware that the opponent in front of him was far more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.

Although Yang Yan's speed was incredibly fast, each slash following the last, he still failed to land a second blow.

The Sand King barely dodged, using unimaginable speed within his own domain.

"Ah!"

The enraged and startled Sand King backed far away, glaring at Yang Yan with a fierce gaze, clutching his wound in agony.

Yang Yan patted Star Night in his left palm, his expression full of disdain:

"Is this the strength of your Demon Race at the Emperor level? It doesn't seem that impressive!"

"You brat, pushing me too far!"

The Sand King was completely enraged by Yang Yan, gritting his teeth and glaring at him.

With a furious shout, the scene around Yang Yan began to collapse.

Yang Yan initially thought this meant the Sand King couldn't hold on and was planning to flee.

Unexpectedly, after the collapse came a new scene.

Yang Yan's surroundings suddenly turned into a vast desert under a blazing sun!

"This ability of yours is quite interesting! Not bad, not bad."

Yang Yan looked around the empty space, talking to himself.

"Too bad, you will never figure it out!"

The Sand King appeared above Yang Yan.

At this moment, he was wrapped tightly in a black cloak. As for the wound on his chest, Yang Yan knew without thinking that it must have healed.

This place was, after all, the Sand King's Absolute Domain, where such feats were easily achievable.

"Moonlight, don't get too complacent. Try the Sand Demon Clan's forbidden space! Here, there's nothing!"

With that, the Sand Demon gave Yang Yan a sly smile, then vanished without a trace.

"Nothing at all?"

Yang Yan looked around, slightly frowning.

Just as the Sand King said, there was nothing here but desert.

Even if Yang Yan stretched his Divine Sense into a line, extending infinitely, he couldn't reach the end.

"Trying to trap me here?"

Yang Yan couldn't help but frown, sneering:

"I don't have time to waste with you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his body suddenly rose sharply, continuing to ascend.

Reaching a certain height, Yang Yan grasped Star Night in his right hand and swung it down fiercely.

He intended to break through this space with one slash!

Yang Yan's idea wasn't wrong.

As the saying goes, one force can break ten skills.

If he was strong enough, the sheer power of one strike would be too much for this space to withstand, and it would naturally collapse.

"Boom!"

A torrential wave of air, accompanied by countless grains of sand, erupted into the sky.

Yang Yan's attack was like a nuclear explosion, incredibly powerful.

However, when the dust settled, there was only a bottomless crack in the ground, and nothing more.

Unconvinced, Yang Yan struck again with over a dozen consecutive slashes, each attack targeting the exact same point.

"Boom boom boom..."

It seemed as though a rain of sand began to fall from the sky.

The sand particles struck directly by Yang Yan's attack, along with those caught in the residual force, shattered from the inside, turning into very fine powder.

Unfortunately, after more than a dozen strikes, apart from making the crack a bit deeper, there was no other effect.

With a glance, Yang Yan gritted his teeth and unleashed dozens more rapid strikes.

Since ancient times, the legend has persisted, within some reclusive Great Powers, there were those who broke through with sheer force.

They shattered the spatial barriers and soared into immortality, inspiring countless with envy and leaving behind legendary stories.

The Great Powers of ancient times shattered the spatial barriers of the entire continent!

What Yang Yan was facing now was nothing but a small space created by the Sand King.

Its sturdiness was incomparable to those ancient barriers. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Even if the Sand King was confidently reinforcing the space from outside, the most he could do was make Yang Yan use one or two more slashes!

The universe is endless, but space has its limits!

When Yang Yan swung his saber for the tenth time,

Ten mighty blasts of Sword Qi descended into the abyss below with unmatched power.

The desert quaked, fierce winds began to ravage, countless grains of sand danced wildly on the earth!

They seemed to pray, they seemed to plead!

"Bang!"

The area around the pit, thousands of meters across, began to collapse weakly.

Even the sand could not escape the pull of gravity.

Chunks of earth crumbled and fell, while the space around Yang Yan began to peel away, one fragment after another.

In a moment, everything vanished…

Yang Yan dismantled the Sand Demon Space the Sand King prided himself on with sheer force!

"Kill!"

The thunderous sounds of battle once again reached Yang Yan's ears.

Hundreds of men in black charged towards him, launching a ruthless assault.

From the moment Yang Yan was drawn into the space by the Sand King and returned, only an instant had passed in the outside world.

"Great, today I'll show you how to fight!"

With his bloodlust ignited, Yang Yan charged forward instead of retreating, like a sharp sword piercing ahead.

Having just broken out of the Sand King's space, he had comprehended a new saber technique, though it was not yet perfected.

Now, he would use these men to perfect and refine it!

Yang Yan exuded a wild aura, lifting Star Night as he soared into the sky.

His immense confidence projected an overwhelming presence, bearing down on those below like an overwhelming force.

The black-clad men, filled with dread, scrambled to retreat.

"This move is called Azure Vault Technique—Shattering Heaven!"

Yang Yan wasn't sure how terrifying a space-shattering saber technique would be when used against a bunch of ordinary fighters.

Most of these men in black were at the Master level, with a few at the General level.

The only Emperor-level opponent was the Sand King.

But this guy had suffered a big loss earlier, and it was unclear where he was hiding now.

Such a world-shattering strike was enough to leave them with an unforgettable memory for a lifetime!

The endless black light instantly covered the sight of the hundreds of men in black.

They didn't even have time to react before their bodies shattered, their souls scattered!

And for Yang Yan, this was merely the work of an instant.

Seeing the bodies turn into blood mist on the battlefield, Yang Yan shook his head regretfully, then sheathed Star Night.

"King!"

"King!"

"King!"

Familiar voices resounded from behind Yang Yan, then two graceful faces appeared beside him, with Fu Changjian slightly behind.

Yang Yan turned to see that Fu Changjian and his companions had already slaughtered the remaining men in black.

The three ninth-level peak experts at the General level working together to kill these people was, in truth, effortless.

"Moonlight, well done!"

Ao Tian smilingly led Sass over, holding a person in his hand.

Or rather…

Half a Demon.
