Battle Through the Heavens: Harmony of Flame and Shadow

Seeing Jiang Yun about to head into the Demon Domain, Lin Jingtian instantly woke up and shouted towards the sky, "Throughout history, no one has ever invaded the Demon Domain. Everyone cultivates spiritual power. Entering the Demonic Race is like a sheep entering a tiger's den. What difference does it make?"

Jiang Yun venturing alone into the Demonic Race would surely bewilder them. They might even think, "Who ordered takeout?"

After the previous clashes, Lin Jingtian had come to deeply recognize Jiang Yun's potential. He was certain that Jiang Yun could become a figure like the ancient Nine Emperors, pillars of the future Great Thousand World. If Jiang Yun were to fall in the Demonic Race due to impulsiveness, it would be a huge loss for the Great Thousand World.

However, Lin Jingtian's attempts to stop him were in vain. As soon as his words fell, Jiang Yun transformed into a streak of light, darted towards the army of the Demonic Race, and instantly broke into the Demon Domain.

"Not good!"

"The Demon Exterminating King is being too reckless. No one has ever emerged alive from the Demon Domain."

"Master Lin, what should we do now? If the Demon Exterminating King perishes in the Demon Domain, it would be a great loss for us."

"All of you settle down the people in the city and contact reinforcements from the Great Thousand Palace again. I will go to support the Demon Exterminating King. Even if I have to risk my life, I will ensure his safe return. The Great Thousand World can do without Lin Jingtian, but not without the Demon Exterminating King."

"But..."

Although Lin Jingtian's orders made them feel somewhat cowardly, in the face of life and death, they 'rationally' suppressed their impulses. With a nod to the crowd, Lin Jingtian took out a blood-red pill and swallowed it. Instantly, his body erupted with a terrifying aura as he transformed into a beam of sword light, chasing after Jiang Yun.

Inside the Demon Domain, endless demonic energy drifted everywhere, as dense as a sea of clouds. For the Demonic Race, this demonic energy was essentially spiritual energy, just a different form of power. Those from the Great Thousand World who entered and breathed in the demonic energy would be polluted, becoming violent and losing their sanity.

However, Jiang Yun was an exception. Upon entering the Demon Domain, he felt his bloodline surging, as if he were a fish that had left the sea and lived in freshwater for years, now finally returned to the ocean. That long-missed feeling made him excited.

"You really dare to come!"

"Kill him!"

When the Flame Demon Tribe's Celestial Demon Emperor and the remaining Demon Emperors saw Jiang Yun intruding, they were both shocked and enraged. They couldn't believe a Supreme Celestial dared to invade their Demon Domain, even proclaiming to kill them. Accompanied by furious roars, an endless tide of demonic energy and wicked aura surged towards Jiang Yun, intent on crushing him.

"I said I'd kill you and I won't renege, even if I have to chase you to the ends of the earth!"

Holding the Celestial Emperor Sword, Jiang Yun coldly stared at the Celestial Demon Emperor of the Flame Demon Tribe. With a swift motion, he activated his impenetrable defense, transforming into a beam of light darting towards his opponent.

"Boom!"

Inside the Demon Domain, boundless wicked energy rampaged, morphing into hurricanes, rain, and thunderbolts, pouring down from the skies. Roars, cries, and wails echoed across the land. Blood splattered the heavens and earth and dismembered limbs flew everywhere.

Even within the Demon Domain, Jiang Yun remained invincible, seemingly unaffected by the suppression that should exist in that realm. He advanced with his sword, his terrifying sword aura causing numerous demonic kings to perish. With each strike, countless demon generals and kings were reduced to ashes.

"Preposterous!"

Seeing Jiang Yun seemingly unaffected and slaughtering their army, the Celestial Demon Emperor's rage peaked. His demonic emperor's true form emerged, and a bloody spear appeared in his hand, piercing through the air with a force that seemed capable of tearing through everything. This spear had once bathed in the blood of saints, making it exceedingly ferocious. Now wielded by the Celestial Demon Emperor in his own territory, its power surpassed previous displays.

This strike was ruthless, with a blinding red glow crashing down from above, aiming to pierce through Jiang Yun's head. A phoenix wreathed in endless flames flapped its wings and flew up to meet the spear, causing the sky to collapse. Flames surged, making it seem like there were two suns in the sky, one of which rapidly expanded, bringing scorching temperatures to the earth.

"You dare to act arrogantly on our turf!" the Flame Demon roared. His spear ablaze with demonic flames, he fiercely pressed down. A red gleam stretching tens of thousands of meters, like a vast sea of fire, split the sky.

"I told you, only the weak complain about their environment!"

Jiang Yun struck with his palm, black and white light converging into a Yin-Yang symbol that crushed down, shattering the sword gleam. The ground beneath experienced a massive earthquake, leveling the peaks and annihilating countless beings.

"Damn you!" the Flame Demon roared, stepping forward with murderous intent. "Today, you will die!"

"You, the Celestial Demon Emperor, have yet to show me any real skills. You won't be able to kill me!" Jiang Yun retorted.

A sudden phoenix cry resonated, and in the sky, flames of various colors formed a fire phoenix that rushed towards the Celestial Demon Emperor. The fiery phoenix collided with the Flame Demon, triggering a massive explosion. The force of destruction spread, causing the ruined Dark Continent to crumble further. In mere seconds, the continent turned into ruins, magma spewing from all directions.

In the sky, the space shattered like an exploding glass window. Dark space fragments scattered, revealing a vast area of darkness. "Celestial Demon Emperor..."

Within the pitch-black space stood a grand, gloomy hall. Darkness surged within, and it seemed to swallow all life, exuding a chilling aura.

Inside the hall, there were rows of black stone seats, each occupied by shadowy figures surrounded by dark, evil energy, causing the space to tremble slightly.

Suddenly, countless dark eyes opened, gazing towards the distant darkness where faint light flickered, bringing a powerful and bright spiritual force—the bane of demonic power and their most detested presence.

"Spiritual power from the Great Thousand World, in our Demon Domain?" a perplexed voice questioned.

"A big fish has come, causing such a commotion!" another voice joked. The energy in the voice stirred space ripples. The figures turned towards the source of the light and saw a fire phoenix, akin to a sun, soaring in the black sky. The overwhelming light and heat scorched countless demons, making them scream.

Many demons tried to counterattack but were ignited by the intense fire energy before they could get close. "How dare they cause such carnage on our turf!" angry voices erupted in the hall.

"It's him!" An enraged voice echoed. The crowd saw a terrifyingly ominous figure standing among thirty-two demonic thrones, glaring angrily.

"Black Corpse, you know who this is? Which Supreme Celestial? That aura combines fire and life and death paths. Is it that guardian from the Tomb Clan?" someone queried. Black Corpse Demon Emperor spoke with hatred, recalling a humiliating battle months ago at Sacred Abyss.

"Is that him? I've heard the tales. Let's see if he can withstand my blade!" said the Blade Demon Emperor, whose sharp fingers tore through space effortlessly.

"You all better not interfere. I will turn him into an undead puppet, never to be reborn!" With black aura surging, Black Corpse Demon Emperor stormed out of the hall.

"This is interesting. Who will assist Black Corpse?" The Celestial Saint rested his probing gaze, tapping his fingers.

"Are you worried about him?" The words startled the others, causing tremors even among the thirty-two shadows.

"I'll go and test his strange abilities," Blade Demon Emperor rose with a bloodthirsty smile.

Back in the Demon Domain, Jiang Yun stood proudly in the air after killing the Flame Demon's Celestial Demon Emperor. Gazing at the remaining four Demon Emperors and their army, he waved his sleeve, and a massive spiritual palm descended.

"Run!"

"No more fighting..."

Facing the invincible Jiang Yun, the fear-stricken demon army fled, even the fierce Demonic Race felt dread. A distant wrathful roar erupted. Endless demonic energy surged, revealing a colossal white figure with three heads and six arms, enveloped in death aura.

Appearing instantly, the white giant's six arms crashed down towards Jiang Yun, sealing all escapes. The hands exuded death energy, capable of eroding all spiritual power. Black Corpse Demon Emperor's hatred was evident in his full force attack.

"Reincarnation Finger!" Jiang Yun's counterattack was swift, enchanting a massive black-and-white finger descending rapidly with terrifying power.

The clash reverberated through the world, collapsing nearby voids.

"Enough is not over," Black Corpse Demon Emperor, now close enough, snarled furiously. His hands summoned a black demonic banner, the Corpse Demon Banner, releasing countless corpses into a death river.

The death river roared, crashing towards Jiang Yun, collapsing space and spreading death energy. Even Holy-level beings would avoid such an attack.

"Corpse Demon River!"

The roaring river, filled with endless corpses, surged towards Jiang Yun.
