Chapter 1677: Not Playing Around Anymore

The diabolic dragon wasn't given the chance to kill Huang Baiwu because the dreadful sensation creeping up on him from behind caused him to hurriedly flee.

"It's you!" the diabolic dragon exclaimed when he finally saw Xiang Shaoyun.

Xiang Shaoyun looked at the devil in confusion and asked, "You know me?"

"Hehe, looks like luck is on my side, after all. Open your eyes and look at who I am," said the diabolic dragon with a sneer before transforming into a human form.

When Xiang Shaoyun saw his human form, some memories surfaced in his mind. His voice turned cold as he said, "So it's you. How lucky."

This diabolic dragon was Xie Lou, the same diabolic dragon leader Xiang Shaoyun had encountered in the Devil Domain. At the time, the diabolic dragons had held Ye Chaomu hostage against the Undying Devil Clan under Xie Lou's command. In his fury, Xiang Shaoyun had killed several diabolic dragons.

That was when Xie Lou attempted to kill him. Fortunately, the Devil God from the Imperial Nether Clan had saved him. That was why Xiang Shaoyun was hostile to the Diabolic Dragon Clan. Now that two enemies had encountered each other, hatred was practically seeping out of their eyes.

"Little brother, leave. You won't be his match. Don't throw your life away for nothing!" Huang Baiwu hurriedly warned Xiang Shaoyun while trying to recover from his injuries as quickly as possible.

"Be at ease and focus on healing. I have a previous grudge with him. Now would be the best opportunity to settle it," said Xiang Shaoyun. He was looking for something to test his new strength, and Xie Lou would be the perfect opponent for that purpose. Xiang Shaoyun then said to Little Azure and Little White, "Deal with the other devils. End this as quickly as possible."

Next, he focused on Xie Lou, leaving the other two Devil Gods to Little Azure and Little White.

"How arrogant. Watch as I pinch you to death with one hand," said Xie Lou as he pointed a finger at Xiang Shaoyun.

Despite using only one finger, Xie Lou unleashed astonishing destruction. Even a regular God would have a hard time withstanding the attack.

I love diabolic dragons who look down on me like you the most, thought Xiang Shaoyun with a sneer. He vanished into thin air before reappearing beside Xie Lou. A burst of primal chaos energy erupted from his fist.

Three Lives Fist!

Xiang Shaoyun could sense Xie Lou's strength, so he held nothing back. With that one punch, all living things would perish. Xie Lou was indeed looking down on Xiang Shaoyun, feeling that Xiang Shaoyun was merely a brand new God. Someone so new was nothing before a fifth-stage Devil God like him.

However, Xie Lou realized his mistake the moment Xiang Shaoyun vanished before his eyes. By the time he sensed Xiang Shaoyun's attack, it was already too late. The overbearing punch wreaked havoc on his body, stunning him with its might.

Xiang Shaoyun took the chance to utilize the large amount of God Realm energy in his body and released strand after strand of primal chaos energy, forming a domain of primal chaos that encompassed Xie Lou. He aimed to kill Xie Lou right within the domain.

Not far away, Huang Baiwu's eyes twitched as he exclaimed, "Primal chaos energy? Is this kid Dugu Qiubai?" After a short pause, he came to a realization, "No. He's not Dugu Qiubai. This is Xiang Shaoyun, ranked first on the Saintly Forest Ranking!"

Huang Baiwu had always paid attention to all the up-and-coming young cultivators. Some experts with an innate Primal Chaos Physique like Dugu Qiubai were naturally known to everyone. However, Xiang Shaoyun was even more well-known than Dugu Qiubai. Huang Baiwu was able to confirm that the youth before him was Xiang Shaoyun because he was aware of the clear differences between Xiang Shaoyun and Dugu Qiubai. He had merely been misled by the primal chaos energy in the beginning.

Huang Baiwu was someone who had placed his name on the Saintly Forest Ranking 1,000 years ago. He was a talented cultivator who could hardly find a match among his peers. Unfortunately, during his repeated battles against the devils, he had harmed the very essence of his body. And in this battle, Xie Lou’s sneak attack had caused his body to be plagued by evil energy. If he did nothing to the evil energy, things would become dangerous for him.

He stopped worrying after realizing that the newcomer was Xiang Shaoyun. He focused fully on recovering. Only by expelling the evil energy in his body would he be able to continue fighting.

The other two Devil Gods also had decently high cultivation levels. Both of them surpassed Little Azure and Little White in terms of cultivation, yet they were completely suppressed in the battle.

"A vile creature like you is nothing in my eyes," roared Little Azure as he slammed his palms out repeatedly, wreaking destruction onto his helpless opponent.

Not to be outdone, Little White started to exert more and more strength in his punches. He definitely didn't want to take a longer time to defeat his opponent than Little Azure, so he followed up his attacks with more attacks, punching his opponent apart while firmly occupying the upper hand.

The dragon and the tiger were too strong. They were easily defeating their respective opponents even though the two devils had higher cultivations than them. Before long, the two Devil Gods were killed.

On the other hand, the battle between Xiang Shaoyun and Xie Lou did not look like it was going to end anytime soon. Xiang Shaoyun was only a second-stage God, while Xie Lou was a peak fifth-stage Devil God only a step away from the sixth stage. He was also a member of a paramount devil race and was capable of unleashing enough strength to match a regular sixth-stage Devil God.

Even Xiang Shaoyun felt great pressure while fighting him. After all, it became increasingly harder to punch above one's class upon entering the God Realm, and he needed to punch three stages above his class against Xie Lou.

In fact, that would not be a possible feat for anyone else. However, Xiang Shaoyun was someone whose god body had undergone numerous transformations to create the strongest body. The quality and might of his energy was also at a level many couldn't even begin to comprehend. All that granted him the ability to contend against Xie Lou. In fact, he was even holding a slight advantage in the fight.

"How can you be so strong? I refuse to believe this!" Xie Lou was unwilling to silently take a beating. With a roar, he transformed into a 10,000-meter-long diabolic dragon, flooding his surroundings with a thick evil aura. As his roar rumbled on in all directions, he slammed his overbearing body down at Xiang Shaoyun.

The draconic body was powerful enough to crush stars, so Xiang Shaoyun did not take it head on. Yin and yang energies flowed out of his body as numerous palms manifested before him, creating a repelling force that bounced the dragon away.

Xie Lou's draconic scales were too powerful defensively, and not even Xiang Shaoyun could break through his thick scales. Thus, the diabolic dragon remained unperturbed by the attacks and unleashed yet another attack.

Swinging Dragon Limb Termination!

Countless draconic limbs dropped down from the sky, carrying with them boundless baleful energy that corroded space itself into nothingness. Xiang Shaoyun surrounded his body with thick layers of God Realm primal chaos energy, forming a bell-like defensive shield that pushed his defenses to the extremes and resisted the assault of the baleful limbs.

Celestial Primal Chaos Bell!

𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

That was a new defensive technique Xiang Shaoyun had comprehended from primal chaos energy. It was no weaker than the Yin Yang Shield, and it provided an even tighter defense than it.

"I'm not playing around anymore. Time for you to die," said Xiang Shaoyun as he narrowed his eyes and pushed his palm toward the empty air.

Not even Xie Lou could detect the palm attack as it skipped space itself and directly descended upon his body.

Divine Sinister Space Palm!
