When Zheng-Fu finished speaking, he quickly swung the sword in his hand to perform his skill.

[The Buddhist Saint Skill: All-Direction-Crushing Golden Sword Stance]

Wooooosh!!!

A golden sword energy wave suddenly appeared in front of Zheng-Fu and immediately rushed out to collide with the monster demon's beam.

Clash!!!

The golden light emitted by this sword wave was both bright and made everyone feel extremely warm. But for the monster demon, it was the opposite. It felt the threat and suffering from this golden light, as the darkness within it was completely suppressed, preventing it from using its full energy.

In addition to the golden light, the sword wave released by Zheng-Fu also carried the form of the Aquatic Dragon. When the energy of the two merged, Zheng-Fu's All-Direction-Crushing Golden Sword Stance became twice as powerful.

Zing!!!

Wooooosh!!!

Booooom!!!

The monster demon's beam finally collided with Zheng-Fu's sword wave. As soon as the two energies clashed, an explosion erupted. The two forces pushed against each other furiously, but soon, the monster demon's beam began to weaken and slowly dissipated.

Roaaar!!!

The monster demon was in disbelief, unwilling to accept the reality. How could it, a Divine-King-stage monster demon, one of the strongest beings in the world, be defeated like this? Desperate, it didn't care about the cost as long as it could take down its opponent.

After its light beam dissipated, Zheng-Fu's sword wave continued advancing toward the monster demon without losing momentum. More than seven parts of its energy remained. At that moment, the monster demon's body suddenly began to swell, and a roar echoed across the area for a hundred li.

Roaaar!!!

"Its body!!?" Zheng-Fu exclaimed as he saw the monster demon's body expand.

"It's about to use the Demon Tribe's forbidden skill, Body Explode Skill. Hurry, son-in-law! Kill it before it activates the skill!" The Monster King shouted with a worried expression, urging Zheng-Fu to kill the demon immediately, as otherwise, everyone in the city would surely die.

"Body Explode Skill? All right, Father-in-law, I'll finish this quickly," Zheng-Fu responded. Though curious about the skill, he didn't have time to ask for details. He knew he needed to defeat the monster demon as soon as possible.

[The Buddhist Saint Skill: All-Direction-Crushing Golden Sword Stance]

Wooooosh!!!

The golden sword wave appeared again, but this time, its power was twice as strong as before. Not only had Zheng-Fu's strength increased, but the energy from the Aquatic Dragon had also grown stronger. Even if three Divine Emperor stage cultivators fought together, they wouldn't be able to withstand the force of this attack. Zheng-Fu himself was shocked by the energy he released.

Thousands of lis away in Monster Kingdom's capital city…

"What is this energy level?" An elder monster sitting in a secret room suddenly opened his eyes after sensing a strong energy wave from over a thousand lis away. Even though he was the strongest in the Monster Tribe, he still got goosebumps.

In addition to the elder monster, a middle-aged monster sitting in a stone chamber in a large castle stood up in shock, gazing in the direction of the energy he sensed. This middle-aged monster was the Lord Warden of the Monster Kingdom, one of the four Divine-Emperor-stage martial masters of the Monster Tribe.

"Huang-Di City... Elder Brother is there!" Realizing where the terrifying energy wave had occurred, the middle-aged monster's face turned pale with anxiety, knowing his elder brother was present.

There were many high-level martial masters in the capital city, and they all sensed the enormous energy. Curiosity drove many of them to head in that direction to investigate who was the owner of the energy.

At the border between the Monster Kingdom and the Demon Kingdom...

In a massive mansion in the frontier city of the Monster Tribe, a gigantic middle-aged male monster stood up hurriedly with a disgruntled expression after sensing the intense energy from Huang-Di City.

"His Majesty!?"

This middle-aged monster was the Monster King's closest left-hand man, assigned to guard the border. Previously, he had sensed the presence of the Divine Emperor stage monster demon, which had shocked him. But after feeling the King's energy, he relaxed. However, now his expression had changed once again because this new energy didn't belong to the King.

Across the border, about twenty lis away, a middle-aged demon stationed in the Demon Kingdom also wore a grim expression. Initially, he was in a good mood after sensing the monster demon in enemy territory, but his expression changed completely when he felt Zheng-Fu's powerful energy, the smile on his face replaced by furrowed brows.

"Those bastard monsters... Do they have a martial master of this level?" the demon muttered, suspicious of what he had sensed.

Thousands of lis away from the Demon Kingdom, at Black Stone Castle atop a high mountain peak...

"What kind of crazy energy is this? Why is it so strong!?" a fully-armored demon exclaimed in shock after feeling Zheng-Fu's energy.

"Since when did those rotten monsters have a martial master this powerful?" another demon beside him said with a puzzled expression.

"Judging by the strange and pure nature of this energy, this martial master doesn't seem to be from the Monster Tribe," said a middle-aged demon in a colorful robe with a strange smile.

"I agree. This kind of energy wave doesn't belong to anyone from the Monster Tribe. I've met almost all of their Divine-Emperor-stage martial masters, and the only one I've never met is the Elder Monster. But from what I know, that Elder Monster shouldn't be this powerful," a massive-bodied demon shared his opinion.

"It's neither the Monster King nor any other martial master from the Monster Tribe. This one feels different. If I guess it right, he may be someone from the Human Tribe."

Huh...?

Suddenly, a majestic and venerable voice rang out from a large shadowy figure sitting on a skeleton throne in the middle of the hall. The owner of the voice was none other than the current Demon Emperor.

"Emperor!!!"

The demons in the hall shouted at the same time in shock, hearing the Demon Emperor speak, as he rarely did. For him to speak meant that this martial master had to be extraordinary.

"Send our spies to find out who this martial master is and what his connection to the Monster Tribe might be. If he has no relationship with the Monster Tribe, order the main army to attack them. But if he is connected to the Monster Tribe, then order the army to retreat!"

A decisive order was given by the Demon Emperor. He knew very well that this martial master was incredibly powerful—so powerful that neither he nor his father could stand against him. Therefore, issuing this order was the best choice for the Demon Tribe at this moment. If this martial master was allied with the Monster Tribe, the Demon Tribe would surely face downfall.

"Yes, sir, Emperor!"

Back to the battle...

Wooooosh!!!

Slash!!!

After Zheng-Fu released his powerful sword wave, it slashed through the body of the monster demon, who was using the Body Explode Skill. The demon's body was instantly split in two before it could react or even realize it was already dead.

Phew!!!

"Finally, it's over!" The Monster King let out a long sigh of relief when he saw the monster demon was defeated before it could use the Body Explode Skill. He turned to Zheng-Fu to praise him, but just then, Zheng-Fu's previously dignified figure began to stagger.

"Son-in-law!!!"

Blop!!!

The Monster King shouted, rushing toward Zheng-Fu's body to check his condition. He found that Zheng-Fu had consumed an immense amount of energy, leaving him in such a weakened state.

"Father-in-law, I'm fine. I just used too much energy." Zheng-Fu replied as he focused on recovering the energy he had lost, trying to stabilize himself.

'Why is my energy so depleted? I felt so full of energy just a moment ago.'

"That's because I took back my energy, kid!" The voice of the Aquatic Dragon suddenly sounded in Zheng-Fu's head, explaining why his energy had vanished.

"Oh! I forgot that you lent me your energy, Deity Dragreeper. Sigh! I've been so busy I didn't even remember. But the energy you gave me was incredible. If there's a next time…"

"Huh! Next time!!? Kid, I forgot to tell you earlier—once you summon my energy, you'll have to wait three months before you can use it again. For the next three months, this sword will only be a normal Pristine-level sword. That should be enough for you to fight lower-level Divine-Emperor-stage masters unless you're swarmed by attacks. Ha ha ha!"

The Aquatic Dragon's voice was filled with satisfaction. He had to take his revenge on Zheng-Fu, who had disrespected him earlier, so he hadn't told him about the limitations of using the dragon's energy. After that, the Aquatic Dragon fell silent.

"You!!! Damn Deity Dragreeper! Why didn't you tell me earlier about this condition!?" Zheng-Fu fumed, frustrated at being tricked by the Aquatic Dragon. When he thought about the consequences, his face turned visibly pale. What if he had to face multiple Divine King stage martial masters in the near future? Wouldn't he be doomed without the Aquatic Dragon's energy?

Sigh!!!!

"What's wrong, son-in-law? Why did you let out such a long sigh?" The Monster King asked curiously when he saw Zheng-Fu suddenly sigh deeply.

"Nothing, Father-in-law. I'm just being bullied by a stupid reptile."

"Huh...?"
