The Supreme Demon Sect cultivator paused, then solemnly gazed at the figure before him, his voice filled with complexity and gravity. "For our Demon Sect, this man holds immense significance. Do you realize that the entire Demon Sect has mobilized to bring him back?"
"These are the orders of the Supreme Elder Demon. We are merely carrying them out. Do you know that because of your stubbornness, your father has lost his position as Sect Leader and has been confined by the Supreme Elder Demon?"
"The Supreme Elder Demon has emerged from seclusion. Xiaoxiao, stop being stubborn. This benefits neither you nor me. Hand him over, and all this will end."
"If you continue to be willful, not only your father but even you will face the wrath of the Supreme Elder Demon. You know how temperamental the Supreme Elder Demon is, don't you?"
Liu Xiaoxiao's eyes flickered with a hint of emotion upon hearing these words. She hadn't expected that her father had already been punished by the Supreme Elder Demon because of her actions. This realization brought a tinge of worry to her heart.
But soon, her expression turned icy. "He is the man I, Liu Xiaoxiao, have chosen. I will never let him die before my eyes!"
However, the man shook his head. "With your cultivation level, you are merely at the Great Saint level. You are not qualified to stop me!"
Liu Xiaoxiao remained silent, standing firm in the sky.
Boom!
In the next moment, an immense surge of blood energy erupted from Liu Xiaoxiao's body, its formidable power sweeping across the sky, shattering the endless void.
Her overwhelming aura spread across the heavens and earth, as if everything in the world had to submit to this supreme might.
Liu Xiaoxiao said coldly, "Now, am I qualified?"
Her words echoed like divine thunder throughout the heavens, causing everyone's souls to tremble with the infinite pressure.
The Supreme cultivator's face changed immediately.
Supreme!
Liu Xiaoxiao could enter the Supreme Realm in an instant?!
Outside the Heavenly Emperor Realm.
The gathered cultivators were shocked, their eyes blank with astonishment.
Entering the Supreme Realm in an instant!
Liu Xiaoxiao had achieved the Supreme cultivation level at this moment!
Everyone found this incredible and unfathomable.
Who could believe that Liu Xiaoxiao could reach the Supreme Realm at this moment? Even Ye Fan, the child of destiny, was stunned. He had not expected Liu Xiaoxiao's talent to be so monstrous.
At that time, Liu Xiaoxiao was only about twenty years old! To become a Supreme cultivator at such a young age was an extraordinary achievement.
Throughout history, those who reached the Great Emperor level were always supremely gifted, with incredible cultivation talent. But no one had imagined someone could be as monstrous as Liu Xiaoxiao.
Ye Fan's face turned grim. As the child of destiny, he had taken a hundred years to reach the Supreme Realm, but Liu Xiaoxiao had done it at twenty.
Liu Xiaoxiao's monstrous talent could only be overshadowed by the Emperor himself. Other cultivators were not even worthy to tie her shoes, even those who were Great Emperors could see that Liu Xiaoxiao outshone them.
Some cultivators spoke in hushed tones, "The Demon Empress is exploiting her potential, forcibly raising her level to the Supreme Realm!"
"Even without forcing her potential, she could have reached the Supreme Realm quickly, but now, to protect the Emperor, she has sacrificed herself, leaving an indelible mark on her body."
"If it weren't for this incident, the Demon Empress would be much stronger now, easily crushing ninety-nine percent of the Great Emperors here!"
Upon hearing this, both Ye Fan and Murong Xue, as well as Nie Fengyun and Chu Nannan, were utterly shocked.
They hadn't expected the Demon Empress Liu Xiaoxiao to have such a past.
Even now, Liu Xiaoxiao's strength was not inferior to theirs; she was even slightly stronger. Without that experience, Liu Xiaoxiao's path to cultivation would have been smoother, and once she became an Emperor, only Chu Yang might have surpassed her.
They would only be left to be crushed by Liu Xiaoxiao.
"The Demon Empress's talent is undeniable!"
"But who would have thought that the Demon Empress once made such sacrifices for the Emperor, yet later..."
The gathered cultivators couldn't help but sigh, their hearts filled with sorrow.
The cultivators' eyes turned back to the scene within the Heavenly Emperor Realm.
In the image, Liu Xiaoxiao's entire being radiated a terrifying aura, elevating her to the Supreme Realm in an instant. Merely standing in the void, her invisible pressure shattered mountains and rivers, upended the sun and moon.
The world trembled, the void collapsed, and boundless space and time shattered under this overwhelming pressure.
The leading Supreme cultivator's gaze was complex, his heart shaken. He hadn't expected Liu Xiaoxiao to forcibly exhaust her essential power and prematurely draw out her potential for Chu Yang. The cost was immense.
"Xiaoxiao, why go this far?" he said, his voice heavy.
However, Liu Xiaoxiao was resolute. She stepped forward, blocking the five Supreme cultivators, preventing them from approaching the man behind her.
Her voice was cold and indifferent, "Today, as long as I, Liu Xiaoxiao, am here, no one will take him!"
"If you want to take him, you'll have to step over my dead body!"
Seeing Liu Xiaoxiao's stubbornness, the Supreme cultivators had no choice. Their eyes glinted with cold light, "Xiaoxiao, you know the methods of the Supreme Elder Demon. We have no choice but to offend you!"
With that, all five moved simultaneously.
Knowing Liu Xiaoxiao's talent and strength, they dared not underestimate her. They unleashed their full power, not holding back at all.
Limitless divine light erupted from the five, like long-dormant volcanoes suddenly exploding. The world trembled, the sun and moon lost their light.
Countless stars in the surrounding heavens shattered at that moment. The terrifying pressure swept across the nine heavens and ten earths, crushing everything, collapsing laws, freezing time and space.
Liu Xiaoxiao faced them fearlessly, charging ahead alone.
Instantly, a fierce battle erupted. The surrounding mountains and lakes were flattened.
Heaven and earth spun, the universe collapsed.
Though Liu Xiaoxiao's combat power was formidable, she had just entered the Supreme Realm and was already heavily injured. She could hold her own against the five Supreme cultivators but defeating them was an extremely difficult task.
Initially, the five Supreme cultivators only intended to subdue Liu Xiaoxiao without harming her. However, seeing how tenacious she was, they grew enraged and unleashed their full power.
The battle instantly became a life-and-death struggle.
That day, the sun and moon lost their light, the world was plunged into darkness.
Supreme blood sprayed, dyeing the sky red.
This blood belonged to both the demon cultivators and Liu Xiaoxiao.
The life-and-death battle raged for five days before Liu Xiaoxiao managed to kill all five Supreme cultivators, risking her own life.
However, her aura was now extremely weak, and her figure in the void was swaying, as if she could fall at any moment.
Liu Xiaoxiao landed on the mountain peak, returning to the man's side.
