Her sword intent might already rival, or even surpass, Ming Huang's.
Gu Shixun thought of it again and again, unwilling to accept it. He obtained the Fierce Demon, the Fiend, precisely to achieve a greater breakthrough, to gain the hope of impacting the Great Emperor realm.
Among the Ten Great Sacred Emperors of Ming Guang City, he was the oldest in terms of seniority and age.
Ordinary Sacred Emperors had a lifespan of at most a thousand years, and even peak Sacred Emperors barely reached two thousand.
Gu Shixun, a mere three-star Sacred Emperor, was already over nine hundred years old.
If he couldn't advance further, all that awaited him was a cold coffin.
The pursuit of eternal realms for most was for eternal life, and Gu Shixun was no exception.
For eternity, betraying Ming Guang City was a trivial matter.
Due to Gu Shixun's excessive desires and greed, coupled with his severe injuries.
The Fierce Demon, the Fiend, went berserk, madly absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Even Gu Shixun's true essence was completely absorbed by it. His body visibly shriveled, becoming skin and bones.
The Fierce Demon, the Fiend, greedily devoured everything, its aura gradually surpassing that of a peak Sacred Emperor.
However, the power of a peak Sacred Emperor seemed insufficient for the Fierce Demon, the Fiend.
It opened its massive maw and swallowed many Netherworld Gods and demonic creatures outside Ming Guang City.
It devoured over two hundred thousand Netherworld Gods and demonic creatures.
The aura of the Fierce Demon, the Fiend, surged again, successfully breaking through to the one-star Great Emperor realm.
The citizens of Ming Guang City, protected by the white jade bowl, also felt the terrifying power of the Fierce Demon, the Fiend, their faces filled with fear and panic.
After all, this was a Great Emperor!
Ming Huang, Dao Yuanming, Shi Huang, Qin Huang, and the others turned pale upon witnessing the one-star Great Emperor level Fierce Demon, the Fiend.
Gu Shixun, now only a skeleton, laughed maniacally, "Hahaha, I have finally entered the Great Emperor realm!"
Mu Qingling could see that this fellow had lost his mind, completely unaware that he had already been controlled by the Fierce Demon, the Fiend.
At this moment, the Fierce Demon, the Fiend, had become the center of attention. Ming Huang knew they had to deal with this menace first.
If this demon were allowed to grow stronger, the millions of people in Ming Guang City, including themselves, would perish by its hands.
Ming Huang's mind stirred, and dozens of golden swords formed from his holy light sword intent appeared, attacking the demon in unison.
But Yuan Qing would not allow him to succeed. The cold and ruthless killing sword blocked all of Ming Huang's holy light sword intent.
Ming Huang felt a sense of familiarity with the sword techniques Yuan Qing displayed, especially the powerful killing intent that accompanied each swing, which could even affect his mind.
"This is the Seven Kill Sword Art of the Killing Heart Sacred Court! How do you know this sword technique?" Ming Huang asked in shock.
"Hmph, I have no need to tell you. Ming Huang, receive your death!"
Yuan Qing unleashed the Seven Kill Sword Art, and a blood-red killing aura emanated from him.
This terrifying killing energy conjured visions of bloody carnage from mountains of corpses, striking fear into the hearts of all.
The Killing Heart Sacred Court was one of the Five Great Sacred Lands, and its Seven Kill Sword Art was a high-level profound truth.
Ming Huang had to face it cautiously, employing his own high-level profound truth, the Void Sword Condensation Technique, to meet Yuan Qing's killing sword.
For a time, Ming Huang and Yuan Qing engaged in a fierce and indecisive battle.
Dao Yuanming, single-handedly holding back three Netherworld Gods, was also unable to disengage.
Among the Ten Great Sacred Emperors, apart from Ming Huang and Dao Yuanming, Qin Huang was the strongest.
This was because the other Sacred Emperors were facing Netherworld Gods of the five-star Sacred Emperor level.
The weaker Sacred Emperors were no match for the Netherworld Gods.
Seeing this, Qin Huang, holding his long zither, flew into the air, closed his eyes, and slowly strummed the strings.
The zither music was beautiful, as pleasant to hear as celestial music. The Sacred Emperors fighting the Netherworld Gods heard the music, and their true essence and souls received a significant boost.
Conversely, the Netherworld Gods clutched their heads in pain and wailed.
With Qin Huang's assistance, Shi Huang and the others found it easier to deal with the Netherworld Gods.
However, the most troublesome entity on the battlefield was still the Fierce Demon, the Fiend, even though it had just entered the one-star Great Emperor realm.
It was a terrifying existence at the Great Emperor level, capable of destroying heaven and earth with a single gesture.
Gu Shixun, mesmerized by the Fierce Demon, the Fiend's immense power, taunted Mu Qingling, "Tremble! Fear! This is the power of a Great Emperor! What is a peak Sacred Emperor compared to the Fierce Demon, the Fiend? Do you feel powerless and terrified?"
"Oh, not really."
Mu Qingling's cold and perfunctory attitude made Gu Shixun tremble with rage.
He felt that this woman was looking down on him, so Gu Shixun commanded the Fierce Demon, the Fiend, to attack Mu Qingling.
"Tremble before the power of a Great Emperor, hahaha!"
The Fierce Demon, the Fiend, unleashed a palm strike, crushing everything. Waves of demonic might and ferocity made it difficult to breathe.
*Boom!*
Space itself shattered under the power of the Great Emperor.
But amidst the smoke, a dazzling golden light flashed.
Golden Scale Art, Protective Dragon Scales.
Golden dragon scales appeared on Mu Qingling's body, directly blocking the Great Emperor's attack.
"How is this possible?!"
Gu Shixun's eyes widened in disbelief.
The Fierce Demon, the Fiend, was a Great Emperor; how could its attack be blocked by a mere peak Sacred Emperor?
Mu Qingling was very satisfied with the power of the Golden Scale Art. The Star Emperor had indeed given her something good.
The Golden Scale Art was a legendary supreme profound truth, immensely powerful.
Next, the Profound Sun Sword appeared in Mu Qingling's hand, its sword intent like a rainbow.
With a single sword strike, a white light instantly pierced through the void.
Abandoned Sword Art, Traversing the Stars!
The Profound Sun Sword, enveloped in sword intent, swept through everything as if it could destroy the heavens and earth.
The Fierce Demon, the Fiend's chest was instantly pierced!
"No! This is impossible!"
The moment the Fierce Demon, the Fiend, was pierced by the Profound Sun Sword, Gu Shixun also suffered a heavy blow, spitting blood uncontrollably.
Yet, he stubbornly glared at Mu Qingling, unwilling to accept defeat.
"Fierce Demon, the Fiend, devour everything for me!"
Unwilling to accept defeat, Gu Shixun ordered the Fierce Demon, the Fiend, to devour.
The demonic souls of the Netherworld Gods and demonic creatures on the ground were drawn out and gathered in the Fierce Demon, the Fiend's mouth in the sky.
But strangely, the Fierce Demon, the Fiend's power did not increase further.
"What's going on?!"
Sensing something was wrong, Gu Shixun looked towards Mu Qingling and was stunned.
Because he saw the demonic souls of the Netherworld Gods and demonic creatures flying towards Mu Qingling.
All of them were absorbed into Mu Qingling's Star Wheel Eyes.
"Not bad, thank you for the meal!"
After absorbing the demonic souls, Mu Qingling smiled with a look of satisfaction, as if she had eaten her fill.
Gu Shixun was numb. What kind of monster was this woman?!
"What kind of eye technique is this? Why can you absorb the demonic souls of Netherworld Gods?!"
"No need to think about it, this is the Evil King True Eye, you can't envy it." Mu Qingling deliberately teased Gu Shixun, saying it casually.
At this moment, the Fierce Demon, the Fiend's power began to weaken.
Its strength plummeted directly to the Heavenly Venerate realm.
Gu Shixun's life essence had long since been absorbed by the Fierce Demon, the Fiend. He now resembled a wizened old man with white hair, like a shriveled monkey.
Mu Qingling instantly appeared before him and used her Star Wheel Eyes to extract the Fierce Demon, the Fiend, from his body.
