Asura Mad Emperor

```

The sky was teeming with murderous intent, and Dao Magic dazzled brilliantly; countless cultivators fell here, their blood drenching the Divine Peak's Dao ground. Under the illumination of the blood moon, this realm had utterly sunk into purgatory.

The battle raged on for several days.

Ji Huo'er and her two companions were completely encircled, forced into the center of the Dao ground, surrounded by countless cultivators sealing the space to prevent the trio from escaping or leaving through the Five Elements channel.

Luckily, the trio had the Divine Pills given to them by Qinchuan, and they just barely withstood the relentless attacks of countless cultivators by continuously burning their Essence Blood and Qi.

As the battle waged on, Jiang Bing and Bai Yunran each succeeded in securing the Innate Departure Water and the Flowing Soul Holy Gold for themselves.

However, both of them havd only temporarily stashed them away using secret techniques, without having fully subdued them.

Wu Xin Fairy had also successfully subdued the wood element's Returning Origin Wood.

Zi Tong and Qinghui Holy Maiden were still locked in fierce combat, the outcome yet unresolved. Ever since their rift over Qinchuan, Zi Tong bore a grudge against Qinghui Holy Maiden as well, showing no mercy in her attacks, even seeking to kill the Qinghui Holy Maiden.

Of the Five Elements, although metal was considered supreme, the Strange Fire within was the most precious and had the strongest offensive capabilities.

With Bai Yunran and Jiang Bing having already obtained the Innate Departure Water and the Flowing Soul Holy Gold, they now turned their attention once more toward Ling Xian'er and Ji Huo'er.

"Daoist Brother Yunran, the Strange Fire will be split in two. If we join forces, we can take half each!"

Jiang Bing suggested.

"Good!" Bai Yunran nodded.

The two exchanged a glance, then once again activated their Divine Artifacts, aiming them at Ji Huo'er and Ling Xian'er to subdue.

"Pff!"

Ji Huo'er and her companion had long been burning their Essence Qi and Veins; against the multitude's encirclement, they were at the end of their rope, barely managing to hold on with the help of numerous Divine Pills.

With the addition of Jiang Bing and Bai Yunran,

they finally could no longer resist, both sent flying and crashing into the continuous mountain ranges.

Ji Huo'er coughed up blood, every bone in her body shattered, blood gushing continuously from her Physical Body, spattering amidst the rocks of the divine mountain—a horrifying sight.

Ling Xian'er did not fare any better; her once transparent skin was now completely torn open, baring ghastly white bones, her flesh blurred and indistinct.

To have survived in the face of such formidable enemies was already an incredible stroke of luck.

Li Kaitian, wielding a Divine Artifact, had the small tower cutting across heaven and earth, its spire emanating flowing light that enveloped him—it was somewhat better for him at the moment, but his blood and Qi were so tumultuous that it was also difficult for him to hold on any longer.

He wanted to help Ji Huo'er and her companion, but his spirit was willing, though his flesh was weak.

The winds and clouds shifted, and a torrential rain began to fall from the sky without warning.

As the raindrops fell, the entire world turned crimson under the blood moon's glow, as if the heavens themselves were bleeding, the sound rustling mournfully.

This place was filled with not only battles but also desolation.

At this time, Li Kaitian had finally reached his limit; the small tower was shot down by numerous Divine Artifacts, and he too was blasted into the depths of the earth.

The three no longer had the strength to fight and were surrounded by countless powerful adversaries.

"Sister, are we going to die?"

Ji Huo'er crawled out from the depths of the earth, struggling to stand, and stared intently at Jiang Bing and Bai Yunran not far away, speaking calmly.

Facing enemies that outnumbered them by dozens of times, the two knew they had no chance of winning.

In the fierce battle that had just taken place, Ling Xian'er's leg had been struck by a Divine Artifact, her bones completely pulverized.

But she forced herself to stand in front of Ji Huo'er, using her frail body to shield her companion.

"Don't worry, Sister will protect you!"

Both women were drained of Blood Qi, gravely injured, and now unable to even muster the Spiritual Power to shield themselves from the rain. Soaked to the bone, their bodies muddied with blood and soil, they were the epitome of wretchedness and pathos—nowhere close to the appearance of Immortals.

Li Kaitian, being elder, had held out the longest, but his injuries were also the most severe. It took a long while before he slowly flew out from the huge pit in the ground.

"This old man can still fight another battle!"

```

Li Kaitian leapt into the air, vomited blood, and forced himself to speak while supporting his battered body.

"Humph, still trying to act fierce?!"

Jiang Bing saw that Li Kaitian still wanted to continue using his Divine Skills to fight, so he spat out a clump of Essence Qi, transforming into a crystal-clear ice pillar that rushed out and pierced Li Kaitian's body.

The ice pillar passed through Li Kaitian's chest, but fortunately, in the critical moment, the small tower exhausted its own Divine Power to shoot out a light of divinity, pushing the ice pillar slightly to the side, which saved Li Kaitian's heart from being directly pierced.

Although he didn't die immediately, Li Kaitian's internal organs were severely injured; it was clear that he was drawing more breaths in than out, and it was difficult to keep him alive.

"Grandpa Li!"

Ji Huo'er cried out in alarm.

"Grandpa Li, how are you?!"

Ji Huo'er quickly rushed over, her eyes red with tears, searching within her Storage Space to find a Divine Pill to save Li Kaitian.

However, after several days of intense battles, Ji Huo'er and Ling Xian'er had already used up all the Divine Pills they had.

They had been relying on Divine Pills to keep themselves alive, which is the only reason they had managed to hold on until now; otherwise, they would have already been suppressed by the crowd.

At this point, whether it was Ji Huo'er, Ling Xian'er, or Li Kaitian, they didn't even have any Natural Healing Pills left, let alone Divine Pills.

"Grandpa Li, you can't be in trouble!" Along the way, Ji Huo'er had already become familiar with Li Kaitian.

She knew that earlier, when she and her senior sister obtained the Netherworld Strange Fire, it was only the two of them who were targeted by the many Cultivators; Li Kaitian had no reason to get involved.

But knowing it was a situation where death was certain, Li Kaitian still resolutely joined the battle, thereby dragging out the time for so long.

"Grandpa Li, you can't die, we still have to go find Big Brother together!"

"Ah…"

Ji Huo'er was crying and wailing, her heart filled with infinite sadness and despair.

The heavy rain was relentless; endless and boundless, the blood mixed with the rain, staining the entire battlefield red, and forming numerous puddles of blood.

At this moment, desolation, cries of misery, and desperation enveloped the hearts of the three, Ji Huo'er, Ling Xian'er, and Li Kaitian.

This time, they had truly fallen into a deadly predicament.

Witnessing this scene, even the many Cultivators surrounding them couldn't help but feel touched.

Only Wu Xin Fairy remained indifferent, without sorrow or joy.

She had refined and taken control of the Returning Origin Wood, standing on the summit of Divine Peak, looking down upon the scene as if she were a high and mighty deity, overlooking the myriad creations of the world.

Everything in the world was unrelated to her.

Jiang Bing and Bai Yunran walked towards Ji Huo'er and Ling Xian'er, respectively.

"Humph, three ants from Divine Wilderness, being able to obstruct us for so long, I must say you do have some ability. But opposing us is like overestimating your strength!" Jiang Bing said coldly.

"You should know that the Netherworld Strange Fire is not something you can control."

Bai Yunran also showed disdain, "The situation you face today is entirely of your own making!"

Both men levitated a hand above the heads of Ji Huo'er and Ling Xian'er, their Divine Skills gathering.

"Swoosh!"

Just as their Divine Skills were about to be launched, to suppress the two women, a sudden change occurred.

A piercingly sharp sound of cleaving the air rapidly resonated.

At the same time, an enraged and violent voice exploded.

"You bunch of good-for-nothings, who gave you the guts to dare kill my people!"

The voice boomed like heavenly thunder, shaking the mountains and the earth, rage swirling powerfully around.

In the distance, within the void, a streak of light as fast as lightning was closing in, bounding towards their direction through the void.
