The Immortal Spirit Road has turned into utter chaos.

Thousands of Dark Sect Members dared not get close from afar, fearing the encroaching black aura;

Zhi Lan Immortal and her junior sister were in the midst of the black aura, attacking the towering Three-headed Demon from both front and back, while one hundred and ninety Immortal Soldiers formed a battle formation in the perimeter, unleashing streamers of light from time to time.

The Three-headed Demon darted around desperately, continually evading the assaults from the Immortal Soldier Formation, appearing extremely disarrayed.

Zhi Lan Immortal and her junior sister's situation wasn't looking good either.

They not only had to force the demon to appear in the black aura, turning it into a target for the Immortal Soldier Formation, but also coordinate with the formation's onslaught to avoid getting accidentally injured.

Moreover, the black aura seemed to be filled with endless resentment and anger;

Zhi Lan Immortal and her junior sister had begun to be affected by this malevolent force.

This was not the worst for them.

The most troublesome issue was the appearance of a powerful light sphere for the second time!

This was the culprit responsible for reducing the two hundred eighty Immortal Soldiers to just one hundred ninety!

Despite Zhi Lan Immortal being a Second Grade True Immortal, with her junior sister assisting beside her, she was still constrained because she had to exhaust every effort to pin the demon here.

If not, should the demon find a chance to escape a certain distance away, they wouldn't dare continue pursuing.

Just a moment ago, Zhi Lan Immortal mistakenly thought the demon had gone berserk, and during an intense battle, was caught off guard as a team of Immortal Soldiers chased too deep into an ambush.

The Immortal Spirit Road witnessed a massive nuclear explosion again;

These Immortal Soldiers barely withstood the concentrated blasts, yet were slaughtered, devoured, and refined by the Three-headed Demon that charged back into the explosion's core.

The demonic flames thus became even more rampant.

Zhi Lan Immortal was bitterly troubled.

She practiced half Tao half Demon Cultivation — cultivating Righteous Path techniques, living by Demon Path ways — yet in all her years of cultivation, she had never encountered such a ferocious demon.

The blatant devouring of Primordial Spirit and mana, and astonishingly, it could even incorporate the Primordial Spirit and mana for its own use.

Zhi Lan Immortal had seen similar behaviors with other Demon Path cultivators;

but those usually had severe side effects.

All Demon Cultivators who directly devoured others' Primordial Spirit and mana eventually suffered from Qi deviation and exploded to death;

Those cultivation techniques capable of refining others' mana for self-use were precious treasures in the Immortal Realm.

But now, this demon not only possessed this skill, but was also unreasonably fierce.

According to Zhi Lan Immortal's observation, after devouring the batch of Immortal Soldiers, the demon did fall into some kind of agony but showed no signs of losing composure or mental disorder; every move and decision was strikingly calm.

Then, the total mana within the demon's body became even grander.

Mottled and chaotic yet vast and powerful.

And the demon's usage of this mana showed no trace of delay nor any sign of Qi deviation…

This completely eclipsed Zhi Lan Immortal's understanding of the word 'Demon'.

Zhi Lan Immortal began to worry about getting devoured in one gulp by the opponent.

Despite not much time having actually passed during this fierce battle, Zhi Lan Immortal already had thoughts of retreat.

Suddenly!

The longsword in the right hand of the Three-headed Demon slashed horizontally at Zhi Lan Immortal's junior sister, whose short sword emitted a beam of deep blue Immortal Light, bypassing the demon's blade and striking its neck accurately.

The demon's three heads raised in a howl.

Zhi Lan Immortal, almost instinctively, charged forward and leapt, her Immortal Body bursting into wave traces, and her Immortal Sword flew out of her hand, transforming to ten meters long in a blink, cleaving towards the demon's neck.

Three-headed Demon's eyes bloodshot with rage were fixated in this direction.

In a split second, the demon's mighty body crumbled like quicksand, causing Zhi Lan Immortal and her junior sister's assault to hit empty…

No, it didn't hit empty!

A severed arm was flung diagonally upwards, and droplets of pitch black Demon Blood sprayed forth.

The Demon Blood suddenly exploded, violently pushing Lan Zhixian and her junior sister away.

The Three-headed Demon, unable to reform its Demon Body in time, was hastily enveloped by blood light, fleeing desperately into the distance.

Zhi Lan Immortal immediately prepared to give chase.

She abruptly came back to her senses and hurriedly called her junior sister.

"Don't chase!"

"Senior sister! This rogue is clearly heavily wounded…"

Her junior sister soon reacted.

A baiting strategy!

Earlier the same situation occurred, where a team of Immortal Soldiers chased and then fell into an ambush during pursuit, engulfed by a series of large light spheres, and subsequently easily slaughtered by the Three-headed Demon.

They couldn't fall for it a third time!

Zhi Lan Immortal immediately took out a golden elixir and swallowed it, transmitting her orders:

"Immortal Soldiers, form an array! Don't be careless! This demon must be here to deplete our mana!"

"Milady!"

An Immortal Soldier captain called out:

"A battle has erupted within This Realm! Should we go forth to provide support?"

"I know!"

Zhi Lan Immortal replied promptly:

"Let's adjust temporarily, observe the battle situation, don't act rashly lest we fall into the opponent's trap… He's back!"

Her gentle reminder caused the group of Immortal Soldiers, the female True Immortal beside her, and even the Dark Sect Members observing near the Treasure Ship through various means, to tense up.

They saw a streak of blood light returning from the multicolored, broad passageway just ahead of the Immortal Soldier Formation.

They distinctly heard a "tut," seemingly expressing dissatisfaction with their reluctance to pursue.

Zhi Lan Immortal silently thought, "as expected."

She was no longer in the mood for battle, now only wanting to withdraw temporarily, needing to find a way to counter that giant light sphere, otherwise, despite the number of Immortals, they were helpless against this Three-headed Demon.

...

In the distance, the blood light flickered lightly, once again condensing into the over five-meter-tall Demon Body.
