"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, the body of a mid-tier powerhouse exploded. This time, Li Xiaotian held nothing back. His devouring power swept out, instantly consuming the opponent's flesh and blood, leaving no chance for revival.
Witnessing this, everyone present was utterly shocked, their eyes filled with disbelief and terror.
Dead!
They were actually dead!
A mid-tier powerhouse had been instantly killed, without even a chance to revive!
They gazed at the spot where the mid-tier powerhouse had vanished, their hearts filled with dread.
This human youth who had suddenly appeared was too terrifying. Such strength was beyond their comprehension. They couldn't understand how a mid-tier powerhouse could be instantly killed.
After all, mid-tier powerhouses, due to their divine sense, were inherently harder to kill.
But now, the facts were laid bare before them, and they had no choice but to believe.
"Who are you? Who exactly are you?" Tuoba Yu shouted, a flicker of panic in her eyes. In her understanding, only high-tier powerhouses or those with heaven-defying weapons could instantly kill a mid-tier powerhouse.
Yet, this human before her was only mid-tier and did not possess any heaven-defying weapons. How could he instantly kill an invincible mid-tier expert?
But Li Xiaotian's response was silence. He weaved through the few people, striking quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he had dispatched all four mid-tier powerhouses.
At this moment, the two mid-tier powerhouses whose bodies Li Xiaotian had shattered earlier had just recovered. However, before they could even make a move, Li Xiaotian instantly killed them again.
Only Tuoba Yu remained at the scene.
Her expression changed drastically, and she prepared to flee without looking back.
"Can you escape?" Li Xiaotian sneered, extending his massive hand to grab Tuoba Yu.
"Bastard! Let go of me! I am from the Demon Race! If you dare lay a hand on me, you will face dire consequences!" Tuoba Yu yelled, acting like a shrew. Even though all her subordinates had been killed by Li Xiaotian, she still held a sliver of confidence. She was of the Demon Race, and killing her would have severe repercussions.
"Slap!"
But who would have expected that Li Xiaotian would directly slap her and then bring her before the Little Kui Snake.
"Ahhh! You dare to hit me? Bastard! How dare you, a lowly human, hit me?! Do you know who I am?"
After Tuoba Yu regained her senses, she immediately shrieked, her eyes filled with fury and disbelief.
She was a daughter of the Demon Race, a noble, and now she had been slapped by a humble human. This was unbearable for her.
"I hit you because your mouth is too foul!" Li Xiaotian said coldly. How could he not be angered when she called him a "lowly human" repeatedly?
Li Xiaotian then punched and shattered Tuoba Yu's body, and then looked at the Little Kui Snake, saying, "Devour her. How she bullied you before, bully her back now."
The Little Kui Snake's eyes lit up with joy. It didn't understand Li Xiaotian's words, but it understood his intent: it was about to be fed something delicious.
Immediately, the Little Kui Snake opened its massive maw and began to devour Tuoba Yu's flesh and blood.
"Bastard! You dare?!" Tuoba Yu transmitted her consciousness. Even though her body was shattered, her divine sense remained, and she was furious seeing this.
"Human, do you even know what you are doing? If you dare kill me, you will suffer a terrible fate later!"
"Noisy!" Li Xiaotian snorted coldly, activating his devouring power to obliterate her divine sense.
Following that, Tuoba Yu let out a cry of terror. She screamed in panic, never imagining that this human would actually dare to kill her!
And the reason for all this was a Kui Snake, an animal!
She was unwilling. How could she, a noble daughter of the Demon Race, meet such an end?
Alas, it was too late, and there was no turning back.
Tuoba Yu's flesh and blood were devoured by the Little Kui Snake. The creature's body began to glow. The energy contained within the flesh and blood of an invincible third-tier powerhouse was immense for it.
Although it was already heavily wounded, after devouring Tuoba Yu, its injuries rapidly healed, and its aura grew stronger.
"Hiss!" The Little Kui Snake let out an excited sound, its gaze towards Li Xiaotian filled with gratitude.
Li Xiaotian looked at the Little Kui Snake with some regret. He could save it once, but he couldn't save it every time.
Despite the Kui Snake race possessing powerful physiques, their intellectual deficiency meant that once discovered, they would be exterminated.
They possessed strength but lacked commensurate intelligence, which was a disaster for the Kui Snake race in itself.
Soon, the Little Kui Snake fell into a deep slumber, its body glowing. It coiled its body, transforming into a small mountain, shrouded in a faint light, its aura growing increasingly powerful.
Having devoured an invincible third-tier expert, it too was about to advance.
The surroundings were already in disarray and ruins from the previous battle. The once lush forest had turned barren.
The small mountain formed by the Little Kui Snake floated silently. The surrounding heaven and earth energy continuously converged towards the mountain. As the mountain absorbed it, a massive energy storm gradually took shape.
The space around the mountain continuously distorted, and gusts of wind occasionally swept by, scattering countless leaves.
This scene caused Li Xiaotian to be slightly astonished. The Kui Snake race was truly a peculiar existence. He could feel the Little Kui Snake's physical body constantly strengthening, its internal energy autonomously refining its physique.
In this regard, even Li Xiaotian could not achieve this.
"Hmm?"
Li Xiaotian suddenly frowned and looked into the distance, sensing some fluctuations. Someone had discovered this place.
He glanced at the small mountain formed by the Little Kui Snake and sighed inwardly. Having helped this far, he transformed into his gigantic hand and, grabbing the Little Kui Snake, left the area.
As Li Xiaotian departed, he failed to notice a blurry shadow in the distant void that had witnessed everything from beginning to end.
It was a very ethereal figure, seemingly on the verge of dissipating, flickering in and out of existence in the void.
Soon, the illusory shadow stirred and followed in the direction Li Xiaotian had left.
Concurrently, several streaks of light flashed across the sky, and a few figures appeared at the location where Li Xiaotian and the Little Kui Snake had been.
They were rogue cultivators who had been roaming near the Great Dao Tree. Upon sensing the combat fluctuations originating from this area, they had rushed over immediately.
"What happened here? I sensed at least several mid-tier powerhouses engaging in a fierce battle, but it was fleeting. Did they discover some fortuitous encounter?"
Someone muttered, their tone filled with speculation.
"No! There was no fortuitous encounter! I sensed the aura of the Demon Race, and it seems... it seems they have perished!"
A creature spoke up, possessing four eyes, one pair of which could perceive things that others could not.
At that moment, after the four-eyed creature spoke, all the beings present fell silent, their hearts filled with dread.
A demon had perished! How was this possible?
Who had done it? Was it a powerhouse from the Divine Realm or the Twelve Supreme Worlds, or some other powerful entity?
But regardless of who it was, this was a shocking piece of news.
