"Fighting with everything on the line…"
Looking at the monster before him, Li Bai's eyes were filled with indifference.
"Unfortunately, I'm afraid your life isn't enough."
With a hand seal formed, Black Li Bai and White Li Bai once again stepped forward. However, at this moment, the clones seemed to have undergone a subtle transformation. Not only were their cultivation levels identical to the main body, even their souls were the same.
In other words, these two Li Bais had already become independent existences capable of living in the world on their own.
One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, Three Union Realm.
This was already the highest known level that had ever appeared in the Great Thousand World. Even the Heavenly Emperor of the past had only reached this realm.
As for the Unity Realm that Mu Chen would eventually reach in the original story, Li Bai could already achieve it with the experience points he currently held, but he did not choose to do so.
Unity means returning to one, beginning from one and ending in one. In the Unity Realm, the three bodies are burned away and fused into one, erupting with immense power. However, once Unity is completed, the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones Divine Ability would also disappear.
This was a permanent method of enhancing cultivation. The higher the cultivation, the more worthwhile it was. Thus, Li Bai intended to keep it as his final trump card.
As for cultivation, the experience points in his possession were enough to push him to the Saint Grade. However, in his view, his current strength was sufficient to deal with Jiang Ya, so he only slightly increased his level once, lest he shock those around him.
The three bodies, sharing one mind, instantly reformed Li Bai's strongest Twelve Divine Fiend Array.
Compared to when it had previously slain the Evil Spirit Clan experts, the ancient god summoned by the array at this moment was even more colossal. The battle axe in its hands had almost solidified, and the cold light it released was enough to easily tear through space.
At the same time, the true forms of the True Dragon and True Phoenix clones let out a cry. Amid dragon flight and phoenix dance, they transformed into a golden ring that directly locked onto Jiang Ya's neck, tightening continuously.
Qing Yanjing naturally did not remain idle at this moment. The Great Sun Burning World Array she had once used against Buddha Xuan reappeared. Nine blazing suns melted into nine strands of Sun True Fire, which then fused into one, manifesting as a Great Sun Golden Crow.
The terrifying high temperature instantly burned away the surrounding aura around Jiang Ya. Even the extremely hard scales on his body began to crack, revealing purplish red flesh beneath.
"Roar!"
A painful howl erupted from Jiang Ya's mouth.
Facing the scorching of the Great Sun Golden Crow, even a being like Jiang Ya, who had fused demonic energy and spiritual energy, could not avoid being burned.
Black violet spiritual energy surged out from his body, forming layers of defense, attempting to block the terrifying heat.
Unfortunately, at that critical moment, the dragon phoenix ring around his neck suddenly tightened, interrupting the circulation of his spiritual energy.
Although it lasted only an instant, it was already enough for Li Bai and Qing Yanjing to seize the opportunity.
The axe that split heaven and earth and the Golden Crow that burned the heavens and boiled the seas simultaneously struck Jiang Ya's body.
In an instant, countless layers of defense shattered, and Jiang Ya let out a piercing shriek.
Unable to care about the dragon phoenix ring around his neck, he could only forcibly channel all his power. Countless evil runes emerged on his arms, transforming into an incomparably terrifying demon body as he met the attacks head on with his fists.
Boom!
The axe light descended and heavily collided with the demonic fist.
At the same time, the claws of the Great Sun Golden Crow grabbed onto the other demonic arm.
In that instant, Jiang Ya's entire arm was turned to dust under the axe blade, while the other arm was engulfed in inextinguishable Sun True Fire and burned into a charred husk.
Ah!
A miserable scream rang out as Jiang Ya's body collapsed violently. Half of his body was already in a shattered state.
However, the vitality of a Saint Grade expert was clearly extremely strong. Even after such severe injury, he had not yet fallen, only continuing to emit painful low roars.
"Heh… heh heh… hahahaha…"
Suddenly, Jiang Ya, covered in blood, let out a faint laugh. Then the sound grew louder and louder.
Seeing this, Li Bai and Qing Yanjing could not help but frown, unsure of what this man was planning.
However, Li Bai did not relax his vigilance. He knew how insane these people could become. In the original story, they had even resorted to self blood sacrifice to break the Great Thousand Demon Formation.
The laughter stopped. Jiang Ya looked at the two of them and said calmly:
"Do you know the Heavenly Demon Emperor has placed a demon mark on me. Although it does not directly control my actions, as long as I make any unusual move, he will detect it…"
As he spoke, a black demonic rune suddenly appeared between his brows, writhing as though it had pierced directly into his mind.
"You…"
Both Li Bai and Qing Yanjing were shocked. If their actions were discovered by the Heavenly Demon Emperor, things would become truly troublesome.
"Don't worry, I did not activate the demon mark."
Jiang Ya's words eased their expressions slightly.
Li Bai frowned and said solemnly:
"Then what is your purpose?"
Jiang Ya did not answer immediately. Instead, his gaze lingered on the stabilized Evil Spirit Continent below.
"I do not care who you are. I only have one request. If you agree, I am willing to die."
Li Bai and Qing Yanjing exchanged a glance, seemingly already aware of what he was going to say.
As expected, the next moment, Jiang Ya's emotionless voice echoed.
"I want you to stabilize the Evil Spirit Continent completely and take this continent away from this plane."
Before he could finish, Li Bai's brows were already deeply furrowed.
"Stabilizing the continent is not a problem, but how are we supposed to move it, and where would we take it?"
Although they were Heavenly Sovereigns, moving an entire continent required the cooperation of the continent spirit, just like Mu Chen moving the White Dragon Continent or Martial Ancestor moving the Profound Heaven Continent, because only those recognized as masters of the continent could do so.
Jiang Ya said nothing. Instead, a streak of blood colored spiritual light flew out from his heart and slowly expanded, turning into a blood crystal.
"This is…"
Sensing the special chaotic aura emanating from the blood crystal, Li Bai and Qing Yanjing's expressions changed.
"Continent Spirit?!"
Indeed, as Heavenly Sovereigns, both of them had come into contact with the existence of the Chaotic Space, so they were extremely sensitive to this aura.
Only the Spirit of a continent could emit such an aura in the material world.
"You can take it that way…"
Jiang Ya said indifferently.
The reason he was able to reach Saint Grade Middle Phase so quickly was not only due to the methods of the Feind Demon Race, but also largely because of this blood crystal.
"With it, you can completely sever the Evil Spirit Continent from the Great Thousand World."
These words made Li Bai frown again, and he could not help but ask, "What do you mean? Are you trying to turn the Evil Spirit Continent into a rootless duckweed in the Void Space?"
If it was severed from the Great Thousand World, then the Evil Spirit Continent would be like a leaf in the ocean, drifting in the void universe. No one knew what it might encounter, and it might even be shredded into dust by the chaotic turbulence of the Void Space in no time.
"You are correct."
Jiang Ya admitted directly.
"Only in this way can they have a thread of survival."
In Jiang Ya's view, whether the Great Thousand World could survive itself was still uncertain.
Even if the Great Thousand World side ultimately won, how would a "monster race" like theirs survive?
In the future, neither the Great Thousand World nor the Feind Demon Race would regard them as their own people. In that case, why not seek a new path?
Li Bai was somewhat shaken. He had not expected Jiang Ya to possess such resolve.
"And you?" Qing Yanjing could not bear it, but still asked.
"Heh… me?"
"After you leave, I will choose to perish together with this space. Only then can my people completely escape the claws of those Feind Demons."
Li Bai suddenly understood. Jiang Ya intended to use his Saint Grade body to completely annihilate this space. In that case, even if the Feind Demon Race discovered it, they would only think that the entire Evil Spirit Race had been destroyed along with him, giving them a chance of survival.
"So that's it, so you had already planned everything from the beginning…"
"But aren't you afraid we might refuse?"
Jiang Ya smiled faintly.
"I am afraid, so I am gambling."
"And if you refuse, then I will drag everyone down to die together."
These words made Qing Yanjing's expression change again, but Li Bai remained calm.
If a Saint Grade Middle Phase expert really chose to self destruct, then apart from Qing Yanjing, who was also Saint Grade and might be able to resist, everyone else, including Li Bai, would likely be buried with him.
Of course, that was only the current Li Bai.
Who could have imagined that someone could instantly raise their cultivation from Initial Phase Immortal-Grade to Saint Grade? Therefore, Li Bai was not afraid.
After some thought, Li Bai nodded.
"Fine, I agree."
As he spoke, a relieved smile appeared on Jiang Ya's deadened face.
"Thank you."
When the blood crystal entered Li Bai's hand, he could clearly feel an indescribable connection forming between himself and the continent below.
With the suppression of the Five Emperor Divine Statues, the shattered continent had already stopped collapsing, but restoring it would still require considerable effort.
Within the Void Space, Li Bai, who had already left the Evil Spirit plane, looked down at the continent below.
At this moment, the Evil Spirit Continent had completely changed. The terrifying demonic energy originally lingering in its upper regions was rapidly dissipating, and it would likely vanish into the void within a short time.
However, this was for the best. He did not want this race to continue cultivating Demonic energy.
But it also could not be left unattended, otherwise once the demon energy was completely gone, spiritual energy would also begin to dissipate, and the continent would become a dead land.
On the collapsed central peak, Li Bai and the others stood there, overlooking the broken earth below.
"Lady Qing, I must thank you for your assistance this time. Otherwise, all of us would have been in grave danger."
Li Bai said gratefully to Qing Yanjing.
Without her, just Jiang Ya alone would have been enough to wipe them all out. Not only Li Bai, but even people like Lu Tong from the Great Thousand Palace felt fortunate that Li Bai had invited her.
Of course, they did not know this had been arranged by Li Bai.
Qing Yanjing shook her head.
"I am also a member of the Great Thousand World. For matters concerning its survival, I am naturally obliged to act."
"However, how do you plan to handle this Evil Spirit Continent?"
Li Bai looked down and said solemnly, "I will take it far away from the Great Thousand World, then completely stabilize the continent. As for what happens afterward, it will be left to its fate, just as Jiang Ya wished…"
"However, I will need to stay behind for a while, so I will trouble Lady Qing to bring everyone back."
"Elder Lu, after returning to the Great Thousand World, report everything to Great Elder Qin Tian in full detail. Also notify the Endless Fire Domain, the Martial Realm, and the Sword Domain."
"This time, we have completely destroyed the Feind Demon Race's thousand year preparations. I do not know if they will go mad, so we must be prepared in advance."
Lu Tong nodded solemnly.
Qing Yanjing also said, "I will inform the other four ancient clans as well so they can prepare."
Li Bai nodded.
After giving further instructions to Jiu You and Mandala to guard the Skylaw Continent, Qing Yanjing led everyone away and returned to the Great Thousand World.
Li Bai then sat cross legged on the mountain peak, taking out the blood crystal. With closed eyes, he used it to connect with the continent below, slowly guiding it deeper into the Void Space.
When the Evil Spirit Continent completely disappeared into the void, Jiang Ya finally revealed a relieved smile.
"I hope you can live peacefully…"
Muttering softly, he stopped suppressing the terrifying fusion power within his body.
In the next moment, the Demon Seal on his forehead began to writhe, like countless demon worms, drilling directly into his eyes.
In just a few breaths, his eyes turned pitch black, losing all consciousness.
"I, Jiang Ya have done no wrong to you…"
Those were his final words.
His body began to swell like a balloon.
A terrifying fluctuation erupted from within him.
The next moment…
Boom!
A huge black mushroom cloud rose into the sky. Terrifying shockwaves spread outward from Jiang Ya's position, sweeping across the entire space.
Wherever the shockwaves passed, space turned into nothingness.
