"Did you know? The Demon Sealing Sword was once an ordinary sword that evolved through the demon blood it was constantly soaked in."
Yuan calmly revealed this information as he looked at the sword in his grasp. If it hadn't been protected by his Demon Sealing Aura, the Demon Sealing Sword would've most likely evolved into a cursed treasure instead.
'I need to run!'
At the sight of the Demon Sealing Sword, the Demon Emperor abandoned all thoughts of battle. Fear took hold, and it began desperately searching for a way to escape.
Yuan narrowed his eyes at the Demon Emperor, a grin tugging at his lips.
"That look… Trying to run again?"
The Demon Emperor's entire being trembled at his words, shock rippling through it. Instinct took over, and it bolted—only to crash against an invisible barrier. Yuan had activated the Demon Sealing Zone long before, silently trapping it within.
"HAHAHAHA!!!"
Yuan suddenly burst out laughing, his voice loud enough to shake the space around them.
"F-Founder…?" Startled, Sun Ling Cai's body jumped slightly.
"This is too hilarious! If only you had remained inside your hole after I allowed you to escape the last time, you wouldn't be in this situation, Demon Emperor! If you think you can escape from me a second time, think again!"
Yuan chased after the Demon Emperor with the Demon Devouring Sword in his grasp, its blade trembling from anticipation.
"Devour this coward!" Yuan swung his sword from a distance. In the very next moment, the Demon Emperor's right arm vanished—erased from existence, as if devoured by an unseen force.
Normally, a wound like this would be meaningless to a demon, as their god-like regeneration would restore the damage in an instant. But this time, the Demon Emperor's arm remained gone, as if it had been erased from existence itself.
"Fuck! You goddamn bastard, Divine Paragon!" The Demon Emperor roared angrily. Knowing it could not escape, it decided to fight to the death instead and lunged at Yuan.
"That's more like it!"
[Dragon Transformation!]
Although Yuan activated Dragon Transformation to bridge the gap in cultivation, the Demon Emperor still held the advantage, remaining slightly faster and stronger than him. Fortunately, the Demon Emperor was missing a limb, and Yuan's regeneration rivaled demons.
Of course, Yuan's most significant advantage was his overwhelming Demon Sealing Aura, which greatly weakened the Demon Emperor's combat prowess. Without it, Yuan wouldn't have stood a chance against it, much less dominate it.
Meanwhile, Sun Ling Cai watched their clash with a dazed, almost dreamlike gaze. When she snapped out of it, she retrieved a blank scroll and her brush. Despite the lingering pain in her still-healing arms, she began to paint, capturing the battle unfolding before her.
'This is it! I was born to witness and paint this scene!'
Sun Ling Cai's eyes sparkled with fervor, her heart pounding, her blood ablaze. Every detail of the battle seared itself into her soul as she poured it all into her painting.
As Yuan and the Demon Emperor continued clashing, the sheer force of their battle grew overwhelming. The surrounding landscape began to crumble under the pressure, collapsing in on itself as their power tore through everything in its path.
