Ultimately, she lacked training, and Baihuaxiang made a fatal mistake at this critical moment. By the time the other Chaos Emperors noticed, it was too late, and they all revealed despair in their eyes.
If something happens to Baihuaxiang and Qingdeng is gone, their chances of breaking out of the demonic encirclement are almost nonexistent. Of course, this does not include Yishuihan.
Just before Baihuaxiang was about to be poisoned, Yi Shuihan arrived.
"My dear lady, can you please be a little more reliable? I'm begging you."
Looking helplessly at Baihuaxiang, Yi Shuihan was also a little angry. Baihuaxiang was indeed not a good teammate! If it weren't for her having Qingdeng, Yi Shuihan felt that she would probably be the one who played the least role in this team.
"What? I just spaced out for a moment. Don't worry, now it's my turn to shine."
After saying this with an air of arrogance, Baihuaxiang's expression turned serious. She gestured with her hands, and the light of the green lamp instantly intensified, keeping the evil spirits out of its reach.
Seeing this, Yi Shuihan nodded, turned around and went to clear a path ahead again. He didn't leave the range of the light, but swept around the edge of the light. In this way, he didn't need to worry about defense and could attack to his heart's content. Those demons had no way to deal with him.
"He was injured just now, wasn't he?"
Bai Huaxiang looked at Yi Shuihan, who was slaughtering people in front of her, with a strange look in her eyes. The scene of Yi Shuihan saving her before flashed through her mind. At that time, although Yi Shuihan killed those demons, his face was obviously pale and his body was trembling slightly. She saw this.
Bai Huaxiang felt a pang of guilt when she thought about how Yi Shuihan had been injured because of her.
Baihuaxiang really wanted to apologize to Yishuihan, but she was too proud to do so. Fortunately, escaping was the priority, so she didn't have to worry about it for the time being. All she could do was try her best to control Qingdeng.
Leaving aside Yi Shuihan and his group, with the presence of Baihuaxiang's Qingdeng, they did not fall into a disadvantageous position against the demons in a short period of time; on the contrary, a large number of the demons died.
The other Chaos Emperors were not so fortunate. Surrounded by multiple demons whose strength was no less than their own, and weakened by the previous siege of Illusion Island, they were now powerless to resist the demon siege and died in various ways.
Occasionally, a Chaos Emperor might kill some demons by sacrificing himself, but this would not cause much of a stir and would only make the demons more ferocious.
At the very heart of this event, the Heart of the Universe is still being fought over. The Heart of the Universe is unwilling to be controlled and keeps trying to escape.
Youchuangdao once grasped the Heart of the Universe, but the next moment his arm was erased by some unknown force, and the light on the outer layer of the Heart of the Universe dimmed a little.
Everyone knows that the Heart of the Universe cannot be touched for the time being, but we can't just give up like this. We need to find a way to wear down the energy of the Heart of the Universe. Once the energy is exhausted, the Heart of the Universe will still be at their mercy.
Unlike the Creators, the Demons were much bolder, sending out weaker demons to wear down the Heart of the Universe's energy. They were completely unmoved even when those weaker demons died, so the Heart of the Universe had no choice but to keep fleeing.
While dealing with the evil spirits, the Creators kept an eye on the Heart of the Universe, waiting for its protective energy to run out before seizing it.
The demons naturally saw through the Creators' thoughts and were determined not to let them have an easy time. Each Creator was faced with four demons of Creator strength, and there were many more watching them from the sidelines. If the Creators were at a disadvantage, it was fine, but if they gained the upper hand, the demons would immediately increase their numbers.
The creators of the Dao in all the heavens and myriad worlds are actually much stronger than the demons. The creators are called creators because they have created their own Dao. Although the demons have strength comparable to the creators, they do not have their own Dao. All the demons do not cultivate the Dao. They cultivate destruction. As long as they destroy, they can increase their strength. This kind of strength comes quickly, but it is far less solid than the strength of the creators.
In a one-on-one situation, a Creation Dao cultivator is definitely stronger than a Creation Dao-level demon. Even in a one-on-many situation, a Creation Dao cultivator who can't win can easily escape. However, in the current situation, the Creation Dao cultivators are not facing a few opponents of the same level, but dozens of times more. Coupled with the temptation of the Heart of the Universe, not only can they not escape, but they also don't really want to escape!
Everyone's smart enough to know that the key lies in the Heart of the Universe. If they can obtain the Heart of the Universe, they might be able to save their lives. After all, the Heart of the Universe is of great importance, and even the emperors and gods above are certainly paying attention to it.
The reality was similar. In the alternate dimension above, the emperor-level experts from both sides were silently watching them. The reason they didn't make a move was because the two sides had already reached an agreement.
Chapter 1395, Going Back to Save My Colleague?
"Junior brother, break out in your 10 o'clock direction."
Suddenly, Dongming's voice echoed in Yi Shuihan's mind. He looked up and was overjoyed to find Dongming at the 10 o'clock position. However, Dongming's appearance was very much like that of a demon. If Dongming hadn't released a trace of his aura for him to sense, Yi Shuihan would never have discovered Dongming's disguise.
It turns out that after Dongming sent Taiyi to Salama, he rushed back and discovered the demon's actions. So he took the opportunity to hide among them and planned to fish in troubled waters.
Yi Shuihan naturally wouldn't refuse his senior brother's good intentions, and subtly changed the angle of his breakout.
In the midst of such a fierce battle, Baihuaxiang and the others didn't have the energy to pay attention to this. They were simply following behind Yi Shuihan and didn't notice the problem of direction. Even if they had, they probably wouldn't have cared about it, since being able to keep moving in a general direction was good news at this moment.
"what are you doing?"
"Who hit me from behind? Couldn't you aim a little better?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
Dongming did not reveal himself, but he also relieved Yi Shuihan's pressure in his own special way, such as interrupting the demon's ranged attack, or deliberately using skills randomly.
Dongming's strength in this situation is top-tier. With his help, Yi Shuihan can relax a lot, since most of the demons at the Creation Dao level are vying for the Heart of the Universe.
"Wow, these cultivators are amazing! They're so powerful! Everyone, retreat quickly!"
When Yi Shuihan finally arrived in front of Dongming, Dongming, disguised as a demon, shouted and squeezed his body backward, using his powerful strength to forcefully create a long passage.
"What's going on? Am I dreaming?"
Yi Shuihan knew that this was Dongming's deliberate difference. Bai Huaxiang and the others stared wide-eyed, completely bewildered, mechanically following behind Yi Shuihan.
Blind obedience is a common trait in many groups, especially given the prevalence of evil in the world today. The evil behind Dongming, unaware of what was happening ahead, blindly followed the retreating demons in front of them. Demons born for destruction are not exactly known for their sharp minds.
A quarter of an hour later, Yi Shuihan and his group finally arrived at the outermost edge of the demonic encirclement. No longer surrounded by demons, they could see the desolate void not far away.
"Keep pushing, we're almost there."
With hope at hand, Baihuaxiang and the others were naturally in high spirits, and a power called hope surged from their bodies.
They broke through the encirclement and traveled millions of miles before finally getting rid of the evil spirits.
"Alright, we're safe now. Go do whatever you want!"
Yi Shuihan's words implied that he wanted to drive people away, so the other Chaos Emperors naturally wouldn't stop coming out.
"Thank you for your help this time, Yi Shuihan. This is my identity token. If you need my help, please just have someone bring this token to me. I will do my best without hesitation."
"I will never forget your life-saving grace, and I will go wherever you are, no matter where you are."
Some Chaos Emperors vowed to repay their debts, while others left silently without uttering a word.
Yi Shuihan didn't care much about this. After all, relying on others is never as good as relying on yourself. Besides, these Chaos Emperors were all below him in strength, so it was useless to ask them for help when he couldn't solve the problem.
Before long, all the Chaos Emperors except for Baihuaxiang had left.
"Why don't you leave?"
"Why should I leave? I can go wherever I want, it's none of your business."
You jerk, it's an honor for you to be with me, and you actually want to kick me out? Dream on.
Seeing Baihuaxiang's "what are you going to do about it?" expression, Yi Shuihan thought to himself that he couldn't afford to offend her. What should he do if he couldn't afford to offend her? Of course, if she wouldn't leave, he would leave.
"Alright, I won't bother you any longer. Goodbye."
After saying that, Yi Shuihan headed back in the direction he had come from. He wasn't going back to steal the Heart of the Universe; although he was bold, he wouldn't risk it under such circumstances. He just wanted to see if his senior brother Dongming needed his help. Dongming had helped him so many times, and he couldn't just leave like that. He needed to at least make sure Dongming was safe.
"Hey! Did you go the wrong way? You didn't leave that way."
Baihuaxiang followed, saying in an annoyed tone.
"That's right! It's this way."
"We just escaped from this side, why are you coming this way again? Do you want to go back?"
"Yes, we want to go back."
"..."
Bai Huaxiang was stunned. Her brain short-circuited for a moment. She couldn't understand why Yi Shuihan would go back. Didn't he just barely escape that awful place?
Could it be that he wants to go back to save his colleague?
It was ultimately a matter of information asymmetry; what Baihuaxiang thought and what Yishuihan thought were completely different.
However, it was precisely because Baihuaxiang believed that Yishuihan had gone back to save his colleague that Baihuaxiang felt great admiration for Yishuihan. Such a good colleague was almost extinct in the myriad realms.
"Something seems to have happened."
Noticing the way Bai Huaxiang was looking at him, Yi Shuihan was a little confused.
"Why are you following me? I really didn't go the wrong way."
Yi Shuihan returned because of the teleportation ability, and he did not want to risk another incident by having to break through with Baihuaxiang. If the breakout failed, he would have to use teleportation, and he did not want to expose his personal world to Baihuaxiang.
"I'll help you. I'm also an employee of the company. Although I'm not as capable as you, I have a treasure that I'm sure can help you."
"Help me? Help me with what?"
"I'll help you save your colleague! Didn't you want to go back and save your colleague?"
Silence. Yi Shuihan remained silent. He felt a little ashamed. He really wasn't the kind of good person Bai Huaxiang described. Go back to save his colleague? He hadn't even considered it from beginning to end.
Of course, he didn't have this idea, but Baihuaxiang chose to help him because he wanted to go to his colleague's place. Yi Shuihan suddenly felt that Baihuaxiang's inner beauty was just as beautiful as her outer beauty.
Even so, Yi Shuihan would not change his mind and actually save his colleague. He was no one of those guys; since they had come here, they had to take responsibility for their choices.
Chapter 1396, Holding a Position for One Day as One's Master
He wanted to find a reason to get rid of Baihuaxiang and make her leave, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with a suitable reason. Of course, if he continued to think, Yi Shuihan could naturally come up with one, but there was no need to waste brain cells on it.
"What's wrong with telling her part of the truth? It's not like we have to hide it."
Having made up his mind, Yi Shuihan said to Bai Huaxiang, "I'm not going back to save my colleagues. My senior brother is still there, and I'm just going back to take a look."
"Your senior brother?"
“That’s right. In fact, my master is the Creation Emperor, and the senior brother I’m talking about is Dongming. You should have heard of him. The reason we were able to escape before was because of his help. At that time, he disguised himself as a demon to cover for us.”
With a wave of his hand, he conjured up the image of a demon disguised as Dongming in the void.
"Are you really the disciple of the Creation Emperor? And is that really your senior brother?"
Baihuaxiang's first reaction was disbelief. Then she recalled a message circulating within the company that said Yi Shuihan was a disciple of the Creation Emperor. However, Baihuaxiang had never taken this matter to heart, nor did she completely believe it.
"Replacement guaranteed."
He smiled and gave an affirmative answer.
Looking intently at Yi Shuihan, Bai Huaxiang's face showed a complex expression, a mixture of shock at Yi Shuihan's new identity and shame and anger at having misunderstood him. She had actually thought Yi Shuihan was going to rescue his colleague! This was simply...
"Alright, everything's been explained, so you don't need to follow me anymore."
"I do not want!"
Without a second thought, Bai Huaxiang answered, and seeing Yi Shuihan's astonished expression, she simply adopted a princess-like, willful demeanor.
I am the fragrance of a hundred flowers; I can do whatever I want, and no one can stop me.
"Is she throwing a tantrum because she's a spoiled young lady?"
Yi Shuihan could also see Bai Huaxiang's current state and knew that forcibly driving her away would have the opposite effect. The only way was not to forcibly drive her away, as Bai Huaxiang had many treasures on her body and was not someone Yi Shuihan could drive away.
"Then you can come along, but let me make it clear first, you must be careful, you know how dangerous it is there."
There was no other way but to temporarily have Baihuaxiang follow suit.
"I know without you telling me. Don't worry, I definitely won't hold you back. Maybe you'll even ask me for help later!" She gave Yi Shuihan a look that said, "You're smart."
Before long, Yi Shuihan and his group arrived at the outermost edge of the demonic realm again, concealing their presence and observing the situation.
Fortunately, the fog had dissipated, otherwise Yi Shuihan and his group would not have been able to easily bring everything on the battlefield under their observation.
"In any case, after this, the power of the Chaos Emperor level in all the heavens and myriad realms will be greatly reduced."
The Chaos Emperors who are still alive on the battlefield are at least at the Enlightenment Realm, while those at the Seeking Realm have basically all died. This shows just how many Chaos Emperors have perished.
Before the all-out attack on Illusion Island was launched, there were thousands of Chaos Kings here. Now, only a hundred or so are still alive, which is even more tragic than one in ten surviving.
In this battle for the Heart of the Universe, it is estimated that more than half of the Chaos Emperors in the entire universe have died.
Adding to the Chaos Emperors who perished during the previous massive invasion by evil forces, there are now probably only two or three thousand Chaos Emperors left in the entire universe.
Previously, the first realm of Chaos Emperors, the Seeking Dao Realm, dominated most of the Chaos Emperor realm. Now, the Enlightenment Realm is the mainstream.
……
"Quickly seize the Heart of the Universe, its energy is about to run out."
"Do it!"
"..."
"All of you, fall into eternal slumber! Light of eternal slumber."
"Everything returned to chaos, and the five elements were annihilated."
"..."
"Break through the power of chaos!"
"..."
As if receiving the ultimate signal, all the powerful beings who had created the Dao unleashed their ultimate moves almost simultaneously. In an instant, several enormous light sources appeared in this chaotic void, creating a magnificent spectacle resembling the Big Bang of the Milky Way.
Any one of these techniques could destroy a world, especially a vast world like the Primordial Era. Yet, they are being unleashed like fireworks. Fortunately, this place is a desolate, chaotic void.
Every instant, thousands upon thousands of demons die here. These demons are at least at the level of Chaos Emperor. Even though it is much easier for demons to become Chaos Emperors than for them to become demons in the myriad realms, the sheer number of deaths and injuries is enough to severely damage their vitality.
The explosive burst of power from the creators cleared a blank area directly in the very center of the battlefield.
