Boom!!!
A deafening roar, as though it could shatter the heavens, instantly reverberated across the vast land. The ferocious wind swept through the entire world!
The Fire Demon suddenly opened its eyes, resembling the full moon in the sky. Those eyes contained an unprecedented rage!
Anyone would be extremely irritable when abruptly woken from a deep sleep, let alone an ancient giant beast. It let out an enraged roar, and the entire space trembled as if it were about to collapse!
Far in the distance, Aphrola swayed under the terrifying sound wave, blood pouring out from her mouth and nose once again.
Her heart was filled with panic, knowing that this was not an intentional attack from the Fire Demon—this was merely an unconscious action of its own, yet enough to obliterate the insignificant lifeforms around it.
Not to mention confronting it, even entering its range of a hundred miles was an extremely dangerous task.
But who could have imagined that the elder before her, upon witnessing the Fire Demon's terrifying power, would choose such a simple and crude approach—charging straight at it!
However, the elder had already used the precious space shifting technique to travel, so acting this way now seemed somewhat reasonable.
Forget it... Aphrola immediately put all her effort into retreating. This was clearly a battle between immortals, with mortals suffering the consequences. She couldn't afford to be caught up in it and lose her life!
She never expected that, as a grand master, she would still refer to herself as a "mortal" in this situation.
"Where did this insect come from, daring to disturb my beauty sleep!!!"
The Fire Demon's roar was like thunder, its huge pupils locked onto the figure hovering above the lava lake, already certain that the person before it was the one who caused the disturbance.
"How can someone your age still sleep?" Fang Yuan's robes fluttered in the scorching heat, his voice clear and sharp, like a sword drawn from its sheath. "Get up and go back to sleep!"
No wonder it's an ancient demon god... When its Five Qi Rotation Palm struck, it only caused the Fire Demon some superficial injury.
The Fire Demon's body was incredibly tough, though not as strong as the Yellow Dragon deep beneath the Fire Kingdom, it was still far stronger than any opponent Fang Yuan had encountered before.
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan raised his hand again, and another giant ink-colored palm formed out of nowhere, with howling wind, slamming toward the Fire Demon's face.
The Fire Demon, bound by chains, had no way to avoid it and could only endure the blow.
Boom!!!
The loud explosion resounded once again, but just like before, despite the overwhelming force, the impact on the Fire Demon felt like a small stone hitting the water's surface, only creating a ripple with no significant effect.
"Arrogant!" The Fire Demon's anger grew more evident on its face. "You've already chosen your path to death!"
In the past, the Fire Demon would often toy with humans who ventured into this world before killing them. After all, it had been trapped in the Eternal Frozen Abyss for countless years, and the long solitude made it rare to encounter someone to "chat" with. Naturally, it would play with its prey before finishing them off.
But the persistent provocation from the person before it had completely extinguished any interest in toying with the prey. It was like a fish on the dinner table suddenly jumping up and slapping you in the face, completely embarrassing the Fire Demon!
"With your weak and powerless attacks, if you want to kill me, you'll need to try at least a thousand times, no—ten thousand times!" The Fire Demon roared in fury. "But for me, just one strike is enough to obliterate you!"
"Die!"
The Fire Demon suddenly swung a palm at Fang Yuan. In the palm, a dazzling light erupted, powerful enough to burn mountains and boil seas. It spread like a storm, instantly blocking every possible escape route for Fang Yuan!
The air was violently torn apart under this terrifying force, and the whole land trembled with it!
From the sheer momentum, this attack was far superior to Fang Yuan's Five Qi Rotation Palm—an absolute crushing difference in power!
The Fire Demon sneered with a grim smile. It had seen through Fang Yuan's level as soon as it arrived here.
At most, Fang Yuan was only half a step away from becoming a Martial Saint, far from being a threat to it!
The disparity in realms was vast, and this battle was one the Fire Demon could not lose!
However, the next moment, something that shocked the Fire Demon happened. It suddenly felt a "hum," and a glowing circle appeared around it!
It felt as though a very mysterious ancient formation had been activated. The Fire Demon sensed that its strength had been reduced by half in an instant, and no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't break free from this circle!
Such a powerful ability could not possibly belong to someone of Fang Yuan's realm!
"This kid actually hides such a powerful treasure, but... weakening me by half is still far from enough!" The Fire Demon did not stop its attack, and the giant palm, still engulfed in raging flames, continued to slam toward Fang Yuan.
Even with only half its power, it could still burn Fang Yuan to ash!
Unfortunately, things didn't go as expected. The huge flaming palm, which was about to explode on Fang Yuan's body, strangely froze in mid-air.
Before the Fire Demon could understand what had happened, its giant palm uncontrollably started to retract, while the swirling dust and sand also blew backward!
Even the light itself reversed, as if someone had pressed the rewind button. Everything around Fang Yuan seemed to be moving backward, reversing everything!
"What is this?!"
The Fire Demon's pupils widened in shock. It could sense what had happened. This was the manifestation of someone mastering the power of time!
"You said a thousand times, ten thousand times, right?!" Fang Yuan's lips curled into a confident smile as he raised his hand again, and a third Five Qi Rotation Palm took shape!
A move like the Five Qi Rotation Palm, Fang Yuan could normally only use twice within a short period, but in this strange world, all restrictions were broken.
He had just used Time Reversal to avoid the Fire Demon's attack and perfectly returned to the state he was in three minutes ago!
Therefore, he could unleash his big moves endlessly!
With his Fourth Heavenly Calamity talent, he was able to treat himself like a game character, and at this moment, it was like turning on "Unlimited Firepower!"
Boom!
The third Five Qi Rotation Palm struck, still not causing significant damage to the Fire Demon. However, the repeated failures had infuriated the Fire Demon to the extreme!
A customer who had intended to eat had suddenly been forced to fight with the menu, and worse yet, it hadn't won yet!
"Invisible formation, weakening my power, reversing time to avoid my attacks, you've got quite a few tricks up your sleeve!" The Fire Demon grinned maliciously. "But how many times can you use such attacks of this magnitude?! I bet once is your limit!"
"I'm going to see how you defend against my second attack!"
The Fire Demon once again swung its giant palm at Fang Yuan, with no fancy tricks. It planned to crush him purely with its overwhelming might!
However, the next moment... hum!!!
The invisible light circle once again enveloped the Fire Demon, and it felt its strength halve once more!
"Can this move be used twice in a row?" The Fire Demon was stunned but quickly regained composure.
"It doesn't matter, I'm not afraid. This move is not the key. That Time Reversal technique... He surely can't use it continuously!"
So, even though it was under the effect of the "Weakening" status, the Fire Demon's giant palm continued to strike with unstoppable force toward Fang Yuan!
However, the familiar, bizarre feeling returned. Just as the giant palm was about to strike Fang Yuan, it inexplicably froze in mid-air and rapidly retreated!
Everything around Fang Yuan was once again reversing, as if the same scene from a video was playing again!
The Fire Demon's giant head froze in place. In its enormous fiery eyes, it saw the scene that shattered its worldview...
Fang Yuan had reversed time again?!
How is this possible?!
Even the Fire Demon couldn't help but curse!
Could it be that the opponent could continuously use this heaven-defying technique?
If that's the case, how could it still fight? How could it still play?!
