The four Great Demons felt the same sensation and, upon sensing the Sword Intent enveloping their bodies, stopped in their tracks, looking toward the sky with alarm.
Such astounding Sword Intent, far surpassing their imagination, was by no means an ordinary Transparent Realm of Sword Dao.
"Seed of divine power? This Human Race Swordsman has condensed the seed of divine power!"
It wasn't until now that the other three demons finally understood why the Shadow Demon had warned them earlier.
Under such Sword Intent, let alone them, even the young elites of the Demon Court would need to be careful, right?
The four demons had no time to think further, each hurriedly summoned their demon energy and unleashed their Divine Skills, trying to withstand this strike of Slaughter Sword Intent.
Meanwhile, the Monkey Demon was struck with astonishment, and a towering rage suddenly rose in its heart.
"'Little Sword Immortal', you dare?!"
Its roar echoed through the four sides of the Book Storage Tower, and its expression was already somewhat anxious, as it raised its spear and prepared to step forward.
The Monkey Demon had good reason to be anxious.
It had brought everything from home on this trip to the south, and these eight Demon Generals of the Divine Travel Realm were all its followers.
Three had already died up to this point.
If it allowed Chen Yi to make this strike, it might suddenly find itself completely alone.
Even if it slaughtered all the Human Clan's Geniuses within the secret realm, upon returning to the Ten Thousand Mountains, it would be ridiculed by the other Heavenly Prides of the demon race.
However, at this moment, Xie Dongan and Wei Nantian blocked its path.
Behind Xie Dongan, the saintly phantom smiled, and, as a Vast Energy aura spread out, it gently opened its mouth and said:
A short word, neither a command of the Saints nor a tone of overbearing harshness, yet it caused the approaching Monkey Demon to freeze in motion.
Wei Nantian followed immediately, his True Yuan surging, taking on the force of heaven and earth and transforming into a ferocious dragon pouncing forward.
His hands shaped like claws, he struck out one after the other.
"Get out of the way!"
The Monkey Demon's eyes shifted, gripping the tail of the spear and giving it a double shake.
The spear danced up and down, its tip moving with his body, swiftly tapping twice to push back Wei Nantian's double-claw attack.
However, just as the Monkey Demon was about to follow through and stop Chen Yi, it saw Xie Dongan and Wei Nantian lunging at it once again.
"Don't even think about getting past!"
Blocked, the Monkey Demon roared angrily, a fierce light suddenly appearing in its eyes.
"This is you seeking death!"
The Monkey Demon, infuriated, paused its lanky form.
Around its body, the thick black demon energy suddenly had a streak of scarlet sheen pass through it; then, it condensed into a mass in front of it, pulsating like a heart.
The sound of a heartbeat resonated through the heavens and earth, not only causing the expressions of Xie Dongan and Wei Nantian to become solemn but also catching the attention of Chen Yi, who was in the midst of performing his sword technique.
Under the gaze of the trio, with each beat of the scarlet heart, crimson streaks of light burst forth, penetrating into the Monkey Demon's body.
Its black fur was tinged with red luster, and then the crimson color flowed through its limbs and bones, forming red streaks akin to veins.
Even its eyes, already full of murderous intent, turned a scarlet red.
It wasn't until its transformation was complete that Chen Yi and the others could clearly see the Monkey Demon's appearance.
Xie Dongan looked up at the Monkey Demon with a serious expression: "This, this is Demon Divine Power—the Heavenly Three-Headed Six-Armed Technique!"
Wei Nantian was equally astonished: "The Heavenly Bloodline that only the Demon Court Royal Family possesses?"
"I hadn't expected it to be one of the royal family..."
Both of them felt a sinking feeling in their hearts, aware that they could not stop the Monkey Demon that had unleashed the innate divine power of its bloodline.
However, after seeing Chen Yi's movements, the two exchanged a glance and, without a word, moved to attack once again.
No matter what, they had to block the Monkey Demon.
Otherwise, if the remaining four Great Demons joined with the Monkey Demon, even with Chen Yi present, they would not have any advantage.
With this in mind, Xie Dongan immediately took action, opening his Iron Fan.
A dazzling white-gold light gleamed from the fan, and a painting slowly unfolded before him.
The painting depicted a magnificent landscape with flowers, birds, fish, and insects embellishing it, offering a profound sense of immensity like ten thousand miles of rivers and mountains.
The saintly phantom behind him seemed to be drawn to this Ten Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers, a smile flickering in his eyes as he exclaimed:
"How could a picture of rivers and mountains be complete without a demon?"
His voice was as gentle as ever.
A white-gold aura gracefully burst forth from the painting, illuminating ahead for a hundred miles.
Seeing this, Wei Nantian braced himself and charged forward once more, his movements as vigorous as a dragon's or a tiger's, throwing out two heavy punches.
Amethyst energy condensed on his fists, resembling two Dragon Balls, compelling the long dragon in his wake to surge forth.
Against the backdrop of the white-gold painting, it was as if a dragon was frolicking within a sweeping landscape.
