Boom!
As if on command, the monsters that had transformed from True Spirits, neither human nor beast, swirled with an aura of brutality and bloodthirst, pouncing towards Xu Yan.
And that figure took a step forward, drawing closer to the Land of Imperishable while simultaneously, with a wave of his hand, absorbing the radiant energy spilled from the collapse of the Taihao Realm.
Swoosh!
Xu Yan unleashed a sword strike, instantly annihilating the pouncing beasts, and moved swiftly to attack that terrifying figure.
"Today, I shall use you to sharpen myself, to step onto the Path!"
Xu Yan said solemnly.
The figure looked at Xu Yan and laughed coldly, "No matter how you came into being or why you possess such strength, it will not stop me from turning all this into nothingness, for this world should cease to exist!"
In an instant, the figure manifested eighteen arms, each emitting a light, and powerful forces struck at Xu Yan.
