My Fairy Growth System

As the leaders of the various forces began to play their trump cards, the situation on the battlefield started to shift subtly. The Nether Soul Emperor, despite displaying formidable combat prowess with the Five Elements Demon Suppression Sword and the Netherworld Soul Banner, found his advantage gradually eroded under the combined assault of many experts. "Hmph, mere ants, dare to shake the existence of me?" The voice of the Nether Soul Emperor was tinged with a hint of rage, but most of it was reluctance, considering his former glory, now humbled like a tiger fallen to the plains, bullied by dogs. "Man and Sword as One, Soul Merging with the Five Elements!" the Nether Soul Emperor shouted loudly, his body transforming into a black mist, merging into the Five Elements Demon Suppression Sword. The blade of the Five Elements Demon Suppression Sword burst forth with unprecedented brilliance, and multicolored Sword Qi intertwined into an impenetrable net, slicing the surrounding space to pieces. The vast net of Sword Qi also contained boundless Soul Devouring Power, sweeping toward the likes of Yu Qingtan, Emperor Chengyun, Chentuan Emperor, and Emperor Hongjian of the Beast King Sect. Yu Qingtan's gaze was solemn as he leaped directly into the Blood Refinement Saintly King Cauldron, using the protection of the Immortal Artifact to withstand the explosive attack of the Nether Soul Emperor while also distancing himself. Emperor Chengyun and the others were not foolish, either; they retreated from the battlefield while defending with all their might. They understood that as long as Emperor Wu Di and the others dealt with the Nether Beast Souls, by joining in the attack later, the Nether Soul Emperor would surely die a miserable death. It was just a pity that their plan to seize the Immortal Artifact early had been thwarted. Seeing this, the Nether Soul Emperor did not hesitate to pursue Hongjian Emperor, who had lost an arm, with all his strength. Hongjian Emperor was fleeing into the distance on his Lifebound Spirit Beast, the Fiery Suanni, unaware that the Five Elements Demon Suppression Sword, engulfed in boundless Sword Qi and Soul Devouring Power, was attacking him. Its speed was such that Hongjian Emperor could not hope to compare. "Elder Qing Tan, Brother Chengyun, Brother Chentuan, save me!" Hongjian Emperor cried out loudly, but unfortunately, no one paid him any heed. As the saying goes, "Better for a fellow monk to die than for oneself," for no one wanted to save a potential rival. A sense of despair and anger unlike anything he had felt before surged in Hongjian Emperor's heart, but he knew that self-rescue was the only chance for survival. Gritting his teeth and with eyes blazing, he willed the Spiritual Power within his body to surge wildly, as if squeezing out the last bit of strength from his life. "I, Hongjian Emperor, have reigned supreme over the Central Domain for three thousand years; how could I fall here!" The Hongjian Emperor roared, his body emitting a dazzling golden light, the Origin Power contained within his Nascent Soul and Soul being fully ignited at that moment. His Lifebound Spirit Beast, the Fiery Suanni, seemed to feel its master's determination and let out a heaven-shaking roar, its flames intensifying, intertwining with Hongjian Emperor's Spiritual Power to form an unbreakable fire shield. However, the Sword Qi of the Five Elements Demon Suppression Sword was too terrifying; even such a defense seemed on the verge of collapse. The immense net of Sword Qi, like the reaper's scythe, mercilessly sliced through the shield, causing it to tremble incessantly with each contact, its light fading until it shattered. Hongjian Emperor felt a powerful force of Soul Devouring Power trying to drag his Soul out of his Sea of Consciousness. Realizing he was in a dire situation, he took a deep breath as the blood in his veins boiled, as if a thousand fierce beasts were roaring inside him. He forcefully kicked off the back of the Fiery Suanni, leaping into the air, as his hands formed a Seal Handsign. "Beast King's Blood Sacrifice, Primordial Fire Burns the Heavens!" The voice of Hongjian Emperor carried with it an air of desolation and decisiveness. As his words fell, the Sixth Stage Fiery Suanni uttered a mournful cry, then burst into a ball of flames. Hongjian Emperor's body cracked open with wounds, blood spurting out like fountains, sprinkling into the flames that the Fiery Suanni had become, greatly enhancing its power. The ball of flame suddenly swelled, like a burning sun that instantly lit up half the sky. Within the flames, infused with the life of a Sixth Stage Fiery Suanni and the blood essence of the Hongjian Emperor, it transformed into an unstoppable force that collided head-on with the Sword Qi net of the Five Elements Demon Suppression Sword. "Boom!" A thunderous explosion, as if heaven and earth changed color for it. Flame and Sword Qi intertwined, unleashing brilliant light, twisting the surrounding space out of shape. Regrettably, the might of the Supreme Immortal Artifact was not so easily shaken. After the collision, the flames dispersed, and the Five Elements Demon Suppression Sword continued its thrust towards the Hongjian Emperor, albeit with its Sword Qi and Soul Devouring Power significantly diminished. "Dream on if you think you can devour my soul to strengthen yourself! Go back and tell the Sect Gate that I, Fang Hongjian, died because they did not come to my aid!" Utter despair took hold of the Hongjian Emperor as he cried out angrily to his squad members, before he chose to self-destruct in defiance. Regrettably, the cultivators from other forces present scoffed at the Hongjian Emperor's words. Even if the Beast King Sect learned of this, what could they do? Exploring secret realms was a matter of life and death, and not a case of one big, loving family. At this very moment, Emperor Mu Yun, Emperor Wu Di, and the others had finished dealing with all the Nether Beast Souls. Yu Qingtan was the first to command the Blood Refinement Saintly King Cauldron in a renewed attack on the Nether Soul Emperor, who had merged with the Five Elements Demon Suppression Sword, prompting the Void Refinement Stage captains to tacitly join in the concerted assault. The Chengyun Emperor summoned an ancient copper mirror that shone brightly, casting a phantom image of the Nether Soul Emperor to distract and confuse his mind; the Chentuan Emperor waved a seemingly ordinary but cosmically profound wooden sword, and a mere touch from its tip suffused the air with the life-giving essence of Yin and Yang, weakening the Soul Devouring Power of the Five Elements Demon Suppression Sword. Emperor Mu Yun waved a sleeve, and nine droplets of condensed Three Lights Divine Water reappeared. This time, she transformed them directly into a dazzling water dragon that roared towards the Five Elements Demon Suppression Sword. The water dragon clashed with the Sword Qi, unleashing even more violent conflicts that shook the entire battlefield. Emperor Wu Di wielded the Four Seasons Thunder Sword, unleashing Sword Qi infused with the Thunder Path, Sword Dao, and the Origin powers of time and space, matching some of the Five Elements Demon Suppression Sword's Sword Qi blow for blow, without losing ground. The rest brought out their respective Taoist Instruments, with dragon-like sword glows, flying talismans, and Magical Treasures booming; for a time, the entire battlefield was cloaked in a kaleidoscope of light. Under the unified siege, the pressure on the Nether Soul Emperor mounted, and even as he became one with the sword, he struggled to withstand the assault coming from all directions. His voice grew increasingly crazed amidst the Sword Qi, "You ants dare challenge my majesty!" However, despite his wild claims, his inner turmoil could not be concealed. He exerted all his strength, making the Sword Qi of the Five Elements Demon Suppression Sword more ferocious and the Soul Devouring Power even more terrifying, in a final act of desperation. But Yu Qingtan and the others knew the Nether Soul Emperor was at his wit's end. Therefore, their assaults intensified, with various Magical Treasures and Taoist Instruments interweaving, forming an impenetrable net that ensnared the Nether Soul Emperor and the Five Elements Demon Suppression Sword tight. Finally, with a deafening explosion, the light of the Five Elements Demon Suppression Sword abruptly dimmed, and the screams of the Nether Soul Emperor ceased abruptly.
