For months, Li Xiaonan had not stepped out of the small house, continuously reciting the Rebirth Mantra.
At first, a golden light as thin as a hair slowly condensed into the thickness of a finger, wrapping around the Seven-Level Pagoda.
Although he was quite astonished by this phenomenon, he did not notice any changes in his body.
During this year, far too many demons had perished, even the East Emperor and Northern Emperor, who had stood at their lofty positions for a millennium, had fallen.
The Four Emperors had long forgotten the contracts they made back in the day and were now blinded by rage.
What began as a confrontation between armies escalated to direct clashes between the leaders of both sides, fighting to the death.
When someone died, the great war would cease, and everything seemed to clear up as if after a rainstorm.
But it could also just be the calm before the storm.
Li Xiaonan finally breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the Zodiac Signs to begin their covert actions; the tripartite situation needed them to gradually create it themselves.
At the same time, he resolved not to wait for Fei Ji to recognize him but to introduce himself to her right after this celebration banquet.
“Come, come! Let’s toast to our unification of the demon realm!” Ouyang Feng joyfully raised his crystal cup.
The liquid in the cup was so rich and red, resembling blood.
Li Xiaonan remained still, and naturally, Aries and the others followed suit.
Ouyang Feng laughed heartily and clinked glasses with Jack, saying, "Then I'll drink to our health."
He downed the drink in his cup and proudly displayed the empty glass to everyone. Suddenly, his smile froze, and red liquid dripped from the corner of his mouth.
Li Xiaonan gasped, leaping to her feet, her gaze fixed on Jack's face.
Jack cackled, "Ouyang, are you really that naive? Did you think I would share the Demon Realm with you?"
Ouyang Feng took two steps back. Though anger flickered in his eyes, he showed little surprise.
He sneered, "Naive? It's you who is innocent! Jack, you underestimate me too much!"
His body trembled as a wave of black mist emanated from his skin, swirling and boiling around him.
Ouyang Feng pressed his hands downward, and the black mist slowly began to coalesce.
With a ripping sound, the pants and boots wrapped around his calves disintegrated into tatters.
The thick black mist clung to his legs like ink.
Ugly, foul-smelling blisters erupted from his skin.
Clearly, Ouyang Feng had forced the toxins from the wine down to his knees.
He grinned widely and said, "I knew you would betray me! But since you struck first, what I’m doing now is merely self-defense!"
He clapped his hands, and ten Eight-Winged Demons suddenly rushed in from all directions, piercing through the sky above the castle located in the center of the Eastern Land.
Li Xiaonan furrowed his brow and muttered to himself, "No wonder Aries said that the high-level demons had disappeared; it turns out they were all bought off by Ouyang Feng!"
"Boss, where do we stand?" Almost simultaneously, Aries and the others communicated through thought.
Without a second thought, Li Xiaonan replied with two words: "Self-defense!"
"Attack!" With Ouyang Feng's command, the ten demons charged directly toward Li Xiaonan and his group, while he extended his claws to confront Jack.
Li Xiaonan unleashed the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, striking the incoming demon on the head and cursing, "Damn it! What does this have to do with me? Why drag us into this?"
Jack suddenly transmitted a message, "Boss, don't get angry. I'm doing this for you. As long as Ouyang Feng is dead, the entire demon realm will be yours! We're all in this together now; those little minions are up to you! I must make sure Ouyang Feng dies today!"
"Why don't you go die? What do I want with the entire demon realm? Do you think I'm Luffy? My reach isn't that long!"
Li Xiaonan rolled his eyes, completely ignoring the demon across from him who was flailing its arms and legs.
Demons were indeed demons; their vitality was far stronger than that of cockroaches!
Even with five holes in its head, it wouldn't die!
And it was still so lively; too bad it was just out of reach.
He glanced helplessly at Taurus nearby and instantly felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
This fellow actually ran around with a demon on his head, using the Horned Ginseng as a makeshift weapon, causing blood to rain down like water. It seemed he intended for the opponent to bleed to death!
This method of attack was utterly shocking...
Scorpio and Capricorn were not much better off either; despite only having the cultivation of Seventeen Wings, they were chasing after a Eighteen Wings opponent in a frenzy.
What was even more ridiculous was that one wielded a frying pan while the other held a spatula. Anyone who didn’t know better might think they were chefs.
Only Fei Ji and Aries had attacks that looked somewhat standard and normal.
Li Xiaonan pouted, his gaze returning to the demon in front of him, who was still flailing its short arms, trying to hit him.
"Are you done making a scene? With such cultivation, it’s not easy..." he muttered to himself.
The demon across from him paid no heed to his words and continued its somewhat comical antics.
With a helpless shake of his head, Li Xiaonan said, "But since you don’t want to live, I don’t mind sending a few more souls on their way..."
His expression turned cold as he activated the Magic Essence within him, murmuring ancient and obscure incantations.
Having cultivated the Spatial Magic Path until now, he hadn’t had much opportunity to use it. Now, these suddenly appearing Eighteen-Winged Demons became perfect test subjects.
Everything is easier the second time around.
A blue light shot from Li Xiaonan’s fingertips, and the demon before him rolled its eyes back, its face contorted in apparent agony.
As the brilliance from Li Xiaonan's fingertips descended, the demon lord's lips curled into a smile, and he fell to the ground, looking utterly blissful.
No one knew what Li Xiaonan had done. If a curious or twisted individual were to cut open the demon lord's head, they would find his cranial cavity completely empty.
Li Xiaonan had used Spatial Power to cast his opponent's soul into an unknown world, a place filled with sunlight and shimmering lakes...
To the demon race, it was as beautiful as a dream.
Li Xiaonan raised an eyebrow, feeling delighted in his heart: The Spatial Magic Path is truly profound!
He glanced at the four demon lords charging toward him, their fingers twisting and contorting as they continuously changed their bizarre hand seals. A string of obscure incantations spilled from his lips.
A blue vortex slowly appeared before him. With a cold smirk, he grabbed two of the demon lords by their feet and kicked them into the vortex, shouting, "Off you go!"
The vortex suddenly vanished into thin air, and Li Xiaonan's group found themselves facing four fewer opponents.
Meanwhile, the others engaged with Eighteen Wings had completed their cleanup process—killing first and consuming afterward, without wasting any time.
Li Xiaonan clicked his tongue. Although he didn't particularly like such scenes, he didn't intervene.
Habitually, he chanted the Rebirth Mantra three times. This time, the golden light not only entered his Seven-Level Pagoda but also left a faint golden glow on the surface of his body that was imperceptible to ordinary eyes.
Looking at himself, resembling a firefly in the dark, Li Xiaonan's lips twitched slightly; he couldn't quite understand what use this radiant glow had.
"Boss! You moved way too fast! You took down five of them already; this doesn't seem like Eighteen Wings' level of cultivation! More like Ten Wings!" Taurus exclaimed in shock and jest.
"Why don't you leave more gracefully? With eighty wings on a human body, wouldn't that just turn you into a hedgehog?"
Taurus chuckled lightly as he scratched his Horned Ginseng helmet.
Li Xiaonan glanced at Jack and Ouyang Feng, who were still locked in a fierce battle, reflecting on the earlier use of Spatial Magic Path.
The lethality of Spatial Magic Path was actually quite low; it merely tossed people or objects from one place to another.
It was more about escaping than defeating an enemy. Fortunately, the consumption of Magic Essence when using Spatial Magic Path was minimal.
Take that last move, the Battle Shift, for example; it only consumed three drops of liquid Magic Essence, which was just a drop in the bucket compared to Heavenly Union Strike.
"Boss, those two are about to settle their fight. Should we jump in?" Scorpio's reminder snapped Li Xiaonan back to reality.
He looked up and saw that Jack had clearly gained the upper hand.
Ouyang Feng's strength was actually far superior to Jack's, but unfortunately, he couldn't use his powerful moves due to the toxins he had to suppress within himself.
What is the biggest taboo in a fight? Fear of pain, fear of death.
Once your momentum weakens even slightly, victory naturally shifts to the opponent's side.
Ouyang Feng's face turned pale; he heard Scorpio's words and cast a wary glance at Li Xiaonan and the others.
In that moment of distraction, Jack seized the opportunity and struck him down with a palm, sending up clouds of dust.
Ouyang Feng spat out a mouthful of blood, not red but a strange blue mixed with a hint of deep yellow.
Once the abscess on his calf was no longer suppressed, it spread to his hands and face at an alarming speed, making anyone who looked at it feel nauseous.
Li Xiaonan shook his head and said, "Ouyang Feng is doomed."
A flash of insight suddenly struck him.
This disgusting appearance... I feel like I've seen it somewhere before...
Luna!
The well of the Green Fairy Clan that continued their lineage!
Li Xiaonan's body flickered as he swiftly blocked Jack's descending hand.
Jack paused, frowning. "He has to die!"
"I know! Wait before you act! We haven't settled the score for how he bullied Fei Ji!" His gaze turned cold as he shot a glance at Jack, finding a random excuse to spare Ouyang Feng's life for the moment.
He grabbed Ouyang Feng's wrist and injected a stream of Magic Essence into his body, thoroughly cleansing every corner within him.
Li Xiaonan slowly released Ouyang Feng's hand, a chilling smile creeping onto his face.
He coldly glanced at Jack and said, "You can act now. Afterward, I have something to ask you!"
Jack's heart sank as his fingers, now claw-like, ended Ouyang Feng's life.
The castle, lacking a roof, had surprisingly good lighting. Aside from the somewhat messy rooms, everything else was fairly decent.
At least the sofa wasn't broken.
With Ouyang Feng's death, his Demon Soldiers were thrown into chaos. Fortunately, Jack had been well-prepared and had already dispatched troops to restore order, so there were no major issues.
Li Xiaonan attributed this to the demon race's opportunistic nature.
Li Xiaonan dismissed everyone, leaving only him and Jack in the vast room.
Jack rubbed his hands together, his expression awkward as he said, "Boss..."
"Heh, I can't take that title. You've started making decisions on your own; how could I dare to be your boss!"
"Boss! Don't say that; I'm thinking of you."
"Bang!"
Li Xiaonan slammed his palm down on a nearby tea table, shattering it. He sneered, "For me? Heh! What a joke! What poison did you give Ouyang Feng?"
