Hearing the reminder from the Tongtian Sword Master, Li Xiaotian snapped back to attention. When he had condensed the Dragon of Destiny, the Tongtian Sword Master had mentioned this.
Using the power of the world to fight.
It was just that he had never used it, so when facing the Croco Venerable, he hadn't even thought of it.
"Hmph! You have no chance!"
Just as Li Xiaotian was about to borrow the power of the world, the Croco Venerable suddenly roared, and a sky-obscuring giant claw swiped towards Li Xiaotian and the others.
It knew what Li Xiaotian and the others intended to do, so it would never give them a chance to borrow power.
Of course, it was also worried. It was worried that if the ant before its eyes borrowed the power of the world and suddenly became powerful, even not weaker than itself.
That would be dangerous.
One must know that this human before him possessed the peculiar Devouring Great Dao.
"Rumble!"
The sky-obscuring giant claw lunged forward. Seeing this, Li Xiaotian and the others erupted with all their might to resist.
"Puff! Puff!"
In an instant, Gu Zhan and Qin, the weakest among them, spat out blood. They could no longer hold on.
As for Li Xiaotian, the Tongtian Sword Master, and Anan, they were still stubbornly holding on.
The three of them propped up the Croco Venerable's giant claws, doing their best to prevent them from falling.
But it was all in vain. The sky-obscuring giant claw did not pause at all, and smashed all five of them into the void below.
Immediately after, terrifying fluctuations came from beneath the feet of the five, and another giant claw grabbed towards the void not far beneath their feet.
It was truly that the Croco Venerable's size was too immense, and its strength was terrifying. The opponent intentionally concealed its attacks, yet Li Xiaotian and the others simply couldn't detect them.
With two giant claws, one above and one below, the Croco Venerable clearly intended to crush Li Xiaotian and his group into powder.
"Damn it!"
The Tongtian Sword Master's eyes were bloodshot with anger.
"Amitabha, leave it to this monk. Li Xiaotian, focus on borrowing power! This monk will buy you time!"
At this moment, Anan suddenly spoke, and then his size grew again.
One must know that he had already been heavily injured, and his previous eight-armed Buddha form had been shattered. Now, he revealed his Buddha form again, clearly with a suicidal intent.
A giant Buddha statue reappeared, Anan the Demonic Buddha, but this time, in addition to demonic energy, the Demonic Buddha was also covered in blood.
Anan was using his life to buy time for Li Xiaotian.
"Reaching the sky, standing on the earth!" Demonic Buddha Anan said, propping up the sky with his hands and his feet on the ground, blocking the two giant claws that were trying to close in.
"Crack, crack!"
Loud cracks sounded from Anan's body. His bones shattered, and his giant Buddha form was squeezed by brute force.
"Ant, do you think you're worthy of stopping me?" The Croco Venerable sneered. With a forceful squeeze of its claws, bursts of blood flowers erupted from Anan's body.
"Damn it! Xiaotian, I'll buy you time too!" The Tongtian Sword Master shouted, once again transforming into a sword and charging directly towards the Croco Venerable's head.
All of this happened in an instant, and the time Anan and the Tongtian Sword Master bought for Li Xiaotian was only a few breaths.
Li Xiaotian suppressed the urge to help and immediately communicated with the Dragon of Destiny of the Nine Provinces.
"All beings in the Nine Provinces, I am Li Xiaotian. Now the Nine Provinces are facing a powerful enemy and are in grave danger. I need your strength!"
Within the world of the Nine Provinces, Li Xiaotian's voice instantly echoed.
He used the Dragon of Destiny as the central hub, spreading his voice to every corner of the Nine Provinces.
"I need your help! Lend me your strength to help me kill the enemy!"
"Please raise your right hand, let go of all defenses, and help me kill the enemy!"
After Li Xiaotian finished speaking, the humans and demons in the Nine Provinces world momentarily lost their focus, and then, one by one, they instinctively raised their right hands.
"Tens of thousands of warriors from the Dragon King Hall are willing to help their King kill the enemy!"
Hei Yu led all the Dragon King Hall warriors and shouted.
"Great Qin is willing to help the Dragon King Li Xiaotian kill the enemy!"
"The Myriad Demon Royal Court of Man Zhou is willing to help Lord Li Xiaotian kill the enemy!"
"All beings in Fo Zhou are willing to offer their strength to kill the enemy!"
At this moment, whether it was humans or demons, they all released their control over their bodies' power.
Because they knew that the Nine Provinces had reached a moment of life and death, and it was time for them to contribute.
Otherwise, destruction would await them!
"Buzz!"
In the blink of an eye, the land of the Nine Provinces seemed to come alive, emitting terrifying suction, drawing in all the power.
In an instant, all living beings collapsed to the ground.
The entire Nine Provinces world erupted with dazzling light, and at this moment, Li Xiaotian's aura soared exponentially. An incredibly dense and terrifying power was born out of nowhere in his body.
"Boom!"
An earth-shattering aura surged into the sky. Li Xiaotian felt himself entering a new realm.
He had reached the second stage of invincibility.
But it was still not enough!
The Croco Venerable was a peak third-stage powerhouse. To deal with it, Li Xiaotian's strength had to reach at least the peak second stage or the third stage.
Fortunately, his strength was growing wildly.
Mid-second stage!
"Hmph! You dream of killing me!"
The Croco Venerable roared, ignoring the Tongtian Sword Master and Anan, and opened its giant mouth to swallow Li Xiaotian.
Instantly, the entire void of the universe seemed to darken.
The Croco Venerable's giant mouth blocked all light sources.
"Get lost!"
Li Xiaotian roared. At this moment, his Ancient God body had reached two thousand zhang, and his strength was even greater.
"Boom!"
Li Xiaotian punched towards the darkness.
Suddenly, the void trembled, and the Croco Venerable was forced to retreat slightly.
"Roar! Human, you deserve to die!!!"
The Croco Venerable roared, its terrifying sound waves impacting everything.
But at this moment, Li Xiaotian's strength was continuously soaring, his power undergoing earth-shattering changes every moment.
"Kill!"
Li Xiaotian also roared, and the two sound waves collided, causing violent ripples in the void of the universe.
The space of the void universe seemed on the verge of collapse at any moment.
But just as Li Xiaotian's aura was getting closer and closer to the second stage, suddenly, his aura paused, and then began to rapidly decline.
Li Xiaotian's heart sank. In an instant, he understood everything, and he looked fiercely at the Nine Provinces world, roaring in rage.
"Bastard! You're courting death!"
