At this moment, over the Sealing Demon Mountain Range, the air was thick with demonic flames and demonic qi, and grotesque demon cultivators flew back and forth.

The cultivators of Great Xia, though top-tier powerhouses from a domain spanning billions of miles, faced equally skilled top-tier experts from the Demon Sects. Almost instantly, these Great Xia cultivators were beaten into constant retreat. Their True Qi rapidly dissipated, and none of them could open a Secret Realm Gate in time.

Whether it was Emperor Xiao of Great Xia, Celestial Sect Leader Hua, King Yu of Prince Yu's Mansion, or President Han of the Holy Dragon Association, despair was etched on all their faces. They despaired not only because of the vast disparity in power but also because the Five Elements Extermination Immortal Array they had relied upon, and the ten Immortal Sect disciples they had depended on, had already retreated far into the distance.

Those high-and-mighty Immortal Sect disciples, faced with the overwhelming ferocity of the Demon Venerables, were all so fearful and hesitant. Seeing this, how could the Great Xia cultivators not despair? They understood very well that, facing the Six Great Demon Sects now allied with the Profound Yin Demon Sect, these Immortal Sect disciples would certainly not dare to step forward. After all, with the Profound Yin Demon Sect as their backer, if they were truly driven to a killing frenzy, the Eight Great Demon Venerables could slaughter the ten Immortal Sect disciples and then hide within the Profound Yin Demon Sect. Even Sect Leader Zhao Tiantong of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect would be unable to avenge them. Furthermore, with all Eight Great Demon Venerables present and the elites of the Six Great Demon Sects mobilized, these ten Immortal Sect disciples, even if they activated the Five Elements Extermination Immortal Array, would be no match for the Six Great Demon Sects and could not possibly turn the tide.

At this moment, the only one still dashing about fearlessly was the Immortal Sect True Inheritance disciple, 'Cao Yu'. After all, 'Cao Yu's' status was there for all to see; he was Sect Leader Zhao Tiantong's True Inheritance disciple. No matter how arrogant the Six Great Demon Sects and the Eight Great Demon Venerables were, they wouldn't dare to kill a Sect Leader's True Inheritance disciple. If an ordinary Immortal Sect disciple was killed, Zhao Tiantong might swallow his anger—there were many Immortal Sect disciples, and the sect couldn't declare war on the Profound Yin Demon Sect every time one died. But killing an Immortal Sect True Inheritance disciple was tantamount to a heavy slap to the face of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect. Even if Zhao Tiantong wished to endure it, would the dozens of Earth Immortals in the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect simply let their prestige be trampled?

Unfortunately, Li Xiaohu's strength was ultimately limited. Although he had reached Ninth-Layer Perfection and possessed the Time Technique, he could only use it three times on the same target. These Demon Sect experts, most of whom had lifespans of several hundred years; the Time Technique could only age them, not kill them outright. Moreover, the demonic techniques of these Demon Sect experts were bizarre and unpredictable. Most of Li Xiaohu's Time Technique attempts were blocked by Demon Crows summoned by the Demon Sect experts, rendering them harmless against their intended targets. For a while, Li Xiaohu darted left and right, managing only to slightly disrupt the Demon Sect experts' offensive rhythm, completely unable to influence the larger battle. Occasionally, the White Bone Demon Venerable would reach out with a giant claw, snatch Li Xiaohu, and hurl him dozens of miles away. This infuriating maneuver left Li Xiaohu seething but helpless.

Anxiously, Li Xiaohu looked towards Lin Xuankong, only to see his godfather protecting Xiaoo Ying'Er beside him, constantly striking down the self-destructing Demon Crows that flew towards her. He completely ignored the besieged Great Xia cultivators.

"Godfather, why haven't you taken action yet?" Li Xiaohu anxiously transmitted his voice.

Lin Xuankong turned to Li Xiaohu and transmitted back, "Cao Yu once told me that the demonic techniques of Demon Venerables, when forcibly elevated to the Earth Immortal Realm, can only last for ninety breaths. Only thirty-two breaths have passed; the time is not yet ripe! What, do you want your godfather to act now, attract the attention of the Eight Great Demon Venerables, and have them focus their attacks on me?"

Li Xiaohu was momentarily speechless. "Ah, this... Godfather's safety is paramount!"

However, with Lin Xuankong's words, the previously anxious Li Xiaohu completely relaxed. Thus, instead of dashing left and right, Li Xiaohu stopped his frantic efforts and simply floated beside Xiaoo Ying'Er and Lin Xuankong, becoming a rather relaxed spectator.

But while Li Xiaohu relaxed, the other Great Xia cultivators found themselves in an even more wretched state. Ouyang Qinglan and the other Grand Elders, along with those from the various princely mansions, the Great Xia Royal Family, the Holy Dragon Association, and the Profound Phoenix Celestial Sect, were all taking a beating and covered in dust, yet unable to open a Secret Realm Gate to escape. With their True Qi steadily depleting and the Profound Truth Jade in their hands dwindling, despair welled up in the heart of every Great Xia cultivator. If not for the Eight Great Demon Venerables currently focusing their attacks on the Celestial Sect Leader, the Saint Dragon President, and Emperor Xiao of Great Xia, many of these cultivators would have already perished.

Even though the Celestial Sect Leader, the Saint Dragon President, and Emperor Xiao of Great Xia all possessed powerful demon techniques from Tier Three Celestial Demon Bones, capable of unleashing power close to the Earth Immortal Realm, they were still being beaten helplessly by the attacks of the Eight Great Demon Venerables. They repeatedly ducked into the Secret Realm for a quick breather, only to re-emerge, get pummeled, and then retreat back into the Secret Realm once more. Had they not prepared a sufficient supply of Profound Truth Jade, they would likely have been beaten back into the Secret Realm for good, too afraid to emerge again.

In truth, these three could have ensured their own safety by remaining in the Secret Realm. However, as the pillars of support for everyone present, how could they possibly flee alone?

The Eight Great Demon Venerables, meanwhile, roared with laughter. It was like a game of whack-a-mole; each time Emperor Xiao of Great Xia or the Celestial Sect Leader appeared, the Demon Venerables would effortlessly batter them into a miserable state.
