The ancient demon sent out a fist, and the power of a supreme being shot right at Tian Ming, causing the world to shake.

“Let’s just fight if you want to. Why are you pretending?” Tian Ming’s expression sank as he cursed before meeting the attack.

He did not believe the ancient demon’s words at all. Unable to control himself? Did it think Tian Ming was stupid?

How did a supreme being not be able to control itself?

Furthermore, Tian Ming quickly realized that the ancient demon was incredibly ruthless.

Each attack targeted him at his vital points, and the horrifying abilities shot out constantly, frantically attacking him.

Tian Ming was quickly at a disadvantage. He was already a bit bruised as he asked, “Ancient demon, are you insisting on defending this group?! Who are they to you?!”

“I’m not protecting them. I really can’t control myself!” The ancient demon punched forward as he tried to explain.

“You’re being a total tyrant!” Tian Ming’s body shuddered in anger as his eyes suddenly turned red. He no longer bothered preserving his strength as he seemingly suppressed the world.

“Destruction of the World!”

Tian Ming pointed at the ancient demon, and a power that could wipe away all of the existence started to descend. It threatened to destroy everything and surrounded the ancient demon. Everything inside would be extinguished.

Yet, something shocking happened.

The ancient demon rushed out of the attack without a single trace of damage on its body. It punched Tian Ming right in the forehead, causing Tian Ming’s head to explode!

Tian Ming’s life flashed as his body reformed itself. He looked at the ancient demon in shock.

“W-what kind of body is this? How is it so strong?!” Destruction of the World was his ability that could destroy anything. Even supreme beings never dared to face it head-on. Even if it wouldn’t have killed the ancient demon, the ancient demon should not have left unscathed.

“I might be very ugly, but I’m incredibly sturdy!” The ancient demon answered that question before continuing to attack Tain Ming like a mad dog.

Of course, the body was sturdy. Even if it had no way of shaping itself, it was forced to maintain that shape. The ancient demon would have been incredibly happy if Tian Ming was able to destroy the body.

Even though he could not control his own body, he had to admit that his body was amazing. The body caused its skills to increase by a lot.

“D-don’t come closer!” Tian Ming started to panic as he looked at the ancient demon charging toward him. He hurriedly retreated.

Yet, the ancient demon kept up the pursuit.

“Damn! We don’t have much of a grudge between us. Why are you doing this?!”

“Why? Tell me why. Don’t come any closer!”

“Don’t you want the way to cleanse the gray mist anymore? Why are you just staring at me?!” Tian Ming fled further and further. His tone was incredibly despaired.

The ancient demon chased behind him, “I’m sorry. I really can’t control myself!”

Everyone was speechless.

They stared as two supreme beings disappeared from their sight just like that.

They never expected the supreme beings to leave in such a pathetic manner after entering so majestically.

Yang Jian and the others saluted the ancient demon.

Of course, they knew the reason why everything happened. It was all thanks to the ancient demon’s body.

The bones were the expert’s leftovers, while the blood was from the animals the expert raised. Of course, it would not be able to control its body.

“The expert’s strategies are deep. Even supreme beings can’t avoid being his toy.”

“Making a supreme being his pawn so easily. This is a stroke of genius1”

“The expert saved us again!”

Everyone was incredibly moved. Their respect for the elder grew more and more each day.

They prepared to leave the place. After all, they already got the lamp, and there was nothing else there to bother with.

Yet, they were obstructed by Bai Piao and the others before they could move.

“You were the first to get here. Quickly tell us what you got!” Bai Piao coldly asked.

Cultivator Junjun frowned, “Would you believe me if I said we didn’t get anything?”

Bai Piao coldly laughed, “Hahaha, of course, we wouldn’t! You were even fused into the statues. How could you have gotten nothing?”

“You should share if you got anything good. You’ll just choke to death if you try to swallow it all!” The Celestial Demon King said. It locked its massive power onto Yang Jian and the others.

Yang Jian looked at the Celestial Demon King before he sighed, “Oh, what a nice body of flesh! It’s such a waste.”

“That’s true. His original body was a golden eagle. It would have made such a good soup. We shouldn’t have let it drink our pee,” Juling Shen agreed.

The fact that the Celestial Demon King drank pee meant that it was already useless, no matter how good its meat was. They could not give it to the expert.

“Preposterous! You’re looking for death!”

The Celestial Demon King let out a sharp cry as it sent a claw at Yang Jian!

Not only were the opponents talking about its meat so publicly, they even talked about the fact that it drank pee. They did not regard him as anything at all. It was pure humiliation1

“A Slash Illuminates the World!”

Before Yang Jian did anything, a vibrant slash suddenly shot out in a crescent shape. It destroyed the Celestial Demon King’s attack and landed on its claw, cutting off its hand!

“Ah!” The Celestial Demon King let out a cry of agony. Its hand regrew itself, but it rapidly retreated as it looked at Xiao Chengfeng in anger and alarm.

Xiao Chengfeng said, “Give the lamp to the expert first. We’ll hold the fort here! Hurry!”

The ancient demon and Tian Ming were both supreme beings, and they did not know if there were any other supreme beings in hiding. To prevent any surprises, they wanted Yang Jian to bring the lamp away first. That was the safest option.

Yang Jian was not someone indecisive. He immediately turned and left after acknowledging it!

“Stand there!”

“Stop him!”

Bai Piao and the others had a change of expression as they shot out their spells at Yang Jian.

However, the spells were all blocked by Xiao Chengfeng and the other two.

“Hahaha, the heavens gave birth to me so I could advance the way of the sword!”

Xiao Chengfeng laughed crazily when he saw that there were people still chasing Yang Jian. With a slash of his sword, he unleashed a devastating blow. It seemed to slash through the whole sky, causing everyone to retreat.

“So you’re that braggart, Xiao Chengfeng! How’s this possible? Your cultivation…”

Many cultivators might not have seen Xiao Chengfeng before, but they were still familiar with his bragging ways.

Even though Xiao Chengfeng’s cultivation was beneath their notice before this, that braggart still managed to make a name for himself. They had heard of him since he was so hard to forget.

However… They heard that he was only at the third stage of the elite realm. He was not even a Wisdom Dictator. How did his cultivation levels suddenly become so high after so long of not seeing him brag?
