Battle Through the Heavens: Harmony of Flame and Shadow

On the Yin-Yang disc, a beam of apocalyptic dark light suddenly shot out, directly targeting Xiao Yan and Lin Dong.

"Boom!"

In the void, world-destroying forces collided violently, echoing with a giant sound. The aftershock shattered the space entirely.

The continent where Ling Yao City was located was struck by some waves of the aftershock, causing ground quakes and massive fissures that spread like an abyss.

"Kill!!!"

The three shouted in unison, not waiting for the destructive aftershock to dissipate. Each unleashed their true forms, wielding their weapons and shooting explosively towards each other.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

In the void, the terrifying clash erupted madly. Facing the combined onslaught of Lin Dong and Xiao Yan, the Holy Sky Devil Emperor didn't retreat a single step, laughing skyward and displaying his demonic might. As demonic energy converged, he chose the most direct approach, clashing head-on with the two.

Destructive sounds echoed continuously.

The terrifying fluctuation even spread beyond the continent, reaching farther places.

Along the way, one expert after another appeared, looking shocked towards the region where the three were fighting. Every sound that came from there made their hearts tremble.

"Who is fighting over there?"

"Such terrifying fluctuations, it must be experts of the Heavenly Supreme level."

"No, demonic energy is rising. Extraterrestrial evil races have infiltrated!!!"

"That's... that's the Holy Sky Devil Emperor fighting with the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor!!!"

"What..."

As more and more people saw the three fighting, the news spread rapidly throughout the numerous worlds, shocking many experts who rushed towards the scene.

In the void, their colossal power formed a gigantic barrier, created from the power of both sides.

A full incense stick's worth of time passed.

In this period, both sides exerted all their means, clashing tens of thousands of times. The force in each round was enough to destroy an entire continent, showcasing the intensity of the battle.

"Boom!"

Another horrifying impact.

The Holy Sky Devil Emperor stood in mid-air, as Lin Dong and Xiao Yan were pushed back by the demonic energy. Even now, he remained calm and composed, only his clothing slightly singed. His black hole-like eyes shone with boundless evil light.

The Sky Evil God moved his neck, looking at Xiao Yan and Lin Dong, laughing lightly, "You two are not bad, making me move a bit more actively. However... this is the end. I've already figured out both of your strengths. This boring fight should end."

Hearing these words, Lin Dong and Xiao Yan's gazes towards the Holy Sky Devil Emperor grew even more solemn and cold.

"Boom!"

In the next moment, Lin Dong and Xiao Yan shot up, each resembling a torrent piercing through the galaxy, carrying infinite might as they howled towards the Holy Sky Devil Emperor.

"Haha!"

However, facing the duo's fierce offensive, the Holy Sky Devil Emperor showed no trace of fear, laughing madly, and with a sudden sweep of his robe.

"Boom!"

Endless demonic energy formed a massive devil ring, sweeping out centered on the Holy Sky Devil Emperor.

"Bang!"

Two vast torrents clashed heavily onto the devil ring. Instantly, the world shook, but the devil ring revealed an extremely terrifying devouring force. As it swept by, both torrents were shattered into countless glowing fragments.

"Swish!"

As the fragments scattered, two streaks of light broke through, attacking the front of the Holy Sky Devil Emperor.

A black ruler burning with flames and a staff entwined with lightning aimed ferociously towards the Holy Sky Devil Emperor's head.

The Holy Sky Devil Emperor chuckled, extended his palm, and demonic flames wrapped around his arm. He slapped down heavily onto the flame ruler.

Sparks splattered, the heavy ruler shook, and space shattered.

At the same time, the Holy Sky Devil Emperor swung his sleeve, causing a black palm print to burst from his palm, shattering the staff with lightning.

"Boom!"

Two dull sounds echoed as two figures rapidly retreated, their steps leaving deep imprints in the void that lingered for a long time.

"Poof!"

Simultaneously, two blood arrows sprayed from their mouths, and their previously soaring aura instantly withered.

After injuring the two, the Holy Sky Devil Emperor coldly smiled. In his palm, the Holy Demon Flames twined like black water, making him resemble an unrivaled great demon king.

"This is the end for both of you..."

"Roar!"

Before the Holy Sky Devil Emperor could finish his words, a deafening dragon roar echoed. Golden light tore through the boundless demonic energy, transforming into a gigantic purple-gold dragon coiled in the void. The boundless dragon might spread across the heavens and earth.

"Holy Sky Devil Emperor!"

Numerous enraged voices echoed. The purple-gold dragon covered the sky, and behind it, countless colossal figures emerged, renowned super divine beasts from the myriad worlds.

"True Dragon Claw!"

In the void, a giant dragon claw reached for the Holy Sky Devil Emperor. The purple-gold dragon scales shimmered, causing space to shatter under the claw's grasp. Countless space fragments spun around it but couldn't harm the scales, instead adding to its ferocity.

"More animals have arrived!" The Holy Sky Devil Emperor murmured coldly, gazing at the descending dragon claw as a black vortex appeared in his eyes, transforming into a black line that shot out.

"Swish!"

The dragon claw whistled, colliding with the black line without a sound. The space quickly collapsed into a large black hole.

"Roar!"

The True Dragon cried out in pain, as droplets of purple-gold blood fell from the void.

Then, the purple-gold dragon and the massive beasts behind it began to shrink, finally transforming into dozens of figures standing in mid-air. Leading them was none other than the True Dragon Emperor.

He now looked expressionless, but his gaze was serious as he looked at his hand. A horrifying wound with sinister demonic energy swirling inside tried to erode his body but was blocked by a purple-gold light.

"A bunch of reptiles... in this universe, there's no place beyond my reach. Once our extraterrestrial race takes over the myriad worlds, you beasts will make great mounts." The Holy Sky Devil Emperor's gaze, indifferent, swept across them.

"You filthy scum, you court death!" The Tempest Ape King, extremely irritable, raged upon hearing those words. His giant staff shook, shattering space as he locked on to the Holy Sky Devil Emperor with a furious face.

"Flame Emperor, Martial Ancestor, are you alright?" The True Dragon Emperor vigilantly watched the Holy Sky Devil Emperor while softly asking the ashen-faced, faltering Xiao Yan and Lin Dong beside him.

"Thanks to your timely assistance, True Dragon Emperor, we would've perished here!" Xiao Yan and Lin Dong forced a bitter smile. They had underestimated the strength of the Holy Sky Devil Emperor, nearly falling prey to him.

"This fiend is terrifying. Today's a heaven-sent chance; we must keep him here!" Xiao Yan's expression changed, earnestly speaking to the True Dragon Emperor and the others.

"Understood!"

No words were needed as everyone's expressions became more severe. They knew they couldn't miss this celestial opportunity.

"Do you all want to come at once?"

Seeing their serious faces, the Holy Sky Devil Emperor suddenly smiled. Standing with his hands behind his back, he calmly watched them, saying, "Then come together!"

Everyone's breath hitched at this moment. The Holy Sky Devil Emperor seemed like an unbeatable entity, not surrounded by them but as if he was the one encircling them.

"Kill!"

The Tempest Ape King roared first, his giant staff shattering the void, transforming into a towering shadow, and striking fiercely towards the Holy Sky Devil Emperor.

Kunpeng Ancestor, True Dragon Emperor, Xiao Yan, Lin Dong, and the others also attacked without reservations. Boundless spiritual power spread, clashing head-on with the Holy Sky Devil Emperor.

"Boom!!!"

The confrontation again became more terrifying. The Holy Sky Devil Emperor seemed like a black hole; regardless of how many apex Saints attacked, he remained composed and unyielding.

His strength seemed immeasurable.

This clash caused the heavens and earth to crumble; the ensuing shockwaves were catastrophic, stirring sun, moon, and stars.

"Boom!"

The Holy Sky Devil Emperor launched a palm strike, embedded with two strange powers. Its might surpassed everyone's expectations, feeling like it didn't belong to the Saint realm.

Facing this palm, everyone's expressions changed, pushing their Supreme True Forms to the utmost.

"Holy Sky Devil Emperor, don't underestimate us."

Xiao Yan faced the terrifying palm, his voice sharp and resolute, filled with killing intent.

As he spoke, he took a deep breath, withdrawing the flame surrounding him. Even a single spark wasn't visible anymore.

At this moment, his body became boiling hot, like a copper furnace.

He slowly extended his palm and a flame bloomed, turning into a splendid lotus.

The lotus had myriad fire patterns, each unique. As it bloomed, no spiritual fluctuation emanated, yet one could see a three-foot flame shadow sitting in the lotus.

The flame shadow wore an imperial crown and a flaming cloak, its face identical to the Flame Emperor's, exuding a divine aura.

As the burning shadow in the lotus was born, the surrounding divine beasts looked shocked at Xiao Yan. They felt the temperature of the world rise, even burning their skin.

While they marveled at Xiao Yan's terrifying move, Lin Dong wasn't idle. He held his hands as if embracing sun and moon, ancient ancestral symbols spinning around him representing different powers.

Finally, as his hands came together, eight ancestral symbols converged. In his palm, it seemed like a starry sky bloomed, mysterious and filled with inexplicable might.

Observing Lin Dong and Xiao Yan's techniques, the True Dragon Emperor and others felt embarrassed. They realized Xiao Yan and Lin Dong were stronger than them. They could barely confront the Holy Sky Devil Emperor, while they were just here to be cannon fodder.

Xiao Yan slowly raised his gaze, his voice echoing, "This is a technique I've cultivated for years. Though it's just created, I hope the Holy Sky Devil Emperor appreciates its taste!"

"And this technique, I name it…"

"Flame God!"

As his voice fell, the three-foot flame shadow in the lotus slowly rose, heating the entire continent instantly.

Lin Dong wasn't outdone. He raised his palm, forming a stellar world above it, filled with countless stars and converging powers. A flick of his finger, and the starry sky rose.

"This move, I call it…"

"Grand Universe!"

The Holy Sky Devil Emperor glimpsed at their attacks, his eyes flickering. Indeed, they weren't the originally destined protagonists of the myriad realms for nothing. Their current strength vaguely surpassed ordinary Saints, nearly matching the Dark Sky Devil Emperor.

To know, the Dark Sky Devil Emperor was the second most powerful in the extraterrestrial evil race, second only to the Holy Sky Devil Emperor. Xiao Yan and Lin Dong could catch up to him so quickly, even surpassing, was truly favored by fate.

Their attacks transcended limits; even the True Dragon Emperor and the others were unable to intervene.

"Boom!"

Instantly, three terrifying attacks clashed. For a moment, no enormous sound followed, as all sound waves were obliterated under the power impact.

Under the gaze of numerous divine beasts, the continent beneath crumbled swiftly in the aftermath.

Gigantic ripples spread, finally shattering space, creating spatial storms enveloping the entire continent, which vanished from sight.

"Swish!"

While everyone stared shocked at the cataclysmic storm, a pristine hand burst from the void. The palm emanated dark energy; five fingers transformed into claws, launching at the True Dragon Emperor's heart.

"Boom!"

The dark giant claw carried a breath of annihilation, leeching life from everything, horrifying in its terror.

"True Dragon Emperor!"

The attack was too sudden for anyone to react, only able to watch the claw strike the True Dragon Emperor's heart.

"Roar!"

In desperation, the True Dragon Emperor roared, channeling all his strength to form an ancient dragon scale armor over his chest.

"Humph!"

At this critical juncture, an authoritative, cold snort echoed from the boundless void…
