Yi Shuihan was not about to let the anti-demon get away with it. Taking advantage of his weakness, she relentlessly pursued him and launched a continuous offensive.

The previously incredibly powerful Anti-Elemental Barrier is now completely useless, like a decoration. Without the Anti-Elemental Barrier's counter-damage power, the Anti-Magic is like a fish deprived of oxygen, struggling incessantly, only knowing how to run away, and not even daring to fight back.

"Well done."

Although he didn't know exactly how Yi Shuihan did it, it didn't affect Dongming's happy mood. Whatever the principle was, the important thing now was to kill that idiot Anti-Demon.

"Don't get distracted, I'm your opponent."

Yi Shuihan's outburst caused Wu Ye, who was fighting against the Life Emperor, to momentarily lose focus. The Life Emperor seized this moment and launched a beautiful counterattack, finally getting his revenge.

Previously, both the Life Emperor and the Creation Emperor Salama were affected to some extent by Yi Shuihan's side, which prevented them from fully exerting their strength. Now, the situation has reversed. Wuye and Duodao need to be worried. If the anti-demon is dealt with, Yi Shuihan and Dongming will put psychological pressure on them even if they do not take action, making them hesitant to act and forcing them to pay attention.

"Don't go too far! Even without the Anti-Yuan Barrier, I'm not without the power to fight back."

After beating the anti-demon for over a minute, the anti-demon finally recovered from the blow of the malfunctioning anti-elemental barrier and re-entered battle mode.

To be honest, if Anti-Magic had a better mindset and had countered the moment Anti-Yuan Barrier failed the first time, Yi Shuihan still wouldn't have been his match. Anti-Yuan Barrier only failed against Yi Shuihan, and Dongming couldn't intervene. He would definitely have won then, it would just have taken a little longer.

It was because of his anti-demon mentality that he was damaged. After being beaten for so long, his injuries had accumulated to a certain extent. Now that he had recovered, he was no longer able to suppress Yi Shuihan and was quickly put on the defensive.

Before the Anti-Yuan Barrier failed, Yi Shuihan was tricked terribly, repeatedly injured by his own power. He was incredibly frustrated, but at that time he couldn't vent his anger and could only suppress it. Now that all that anger had accumulated, it all burst out at once, and it felt incredibly satisfying.

"So you think you can use the Counter-Elemental Barrier? You think you're so powerful? Counter-damage, go ahead and counter-damage again!"

He went berserk, Yi Shuihan went completely berserk, and in this state, his combat power was much stronger than in his normal state.

The void continued to crack, and the turbulent chaotic energy became extremely violent, forming one huge storm after another, spreading in all directions and converging into chaotic tides in the distance.

"No, I'll die if this keeps up. This guy is a complete madman."

Having been terrified of being defeated and having no way to deal with Yi Shuihan, the anti-demon devised a plan and charged towards Dongming despite being injured.

"If you hit me, then I'll hit him back. Let's see who gives up first."

Unfortunately, Dongming was also a shrewd old man. He immediately realized the anti-demon's intentions and simply ran away to create distance. He had no intention of joining Yi Shuihan in besieging the anti-demon.

The anti-demon was entangled with Yi Shuihan, and Dongming avoided fighting. In the end, the anti-demon failed to achieve its goal and was instead severely injured by Yi Shuihan.

Without even a chance to beg for mercy, the anti-demon was ultimately reduced to nothingness by Yi Shuihan.

"Junior brother."

Dongming gave Yi Shuihan a thumbs up, feeling deeply moved. He, a genuine Great Dao Emperor, had not been able to kill a Great Dao Emperor-level demon, while Yi Shuihan, a Dao Creator, had killed a Great Dao Emperor-level demon. Such an absurd thing had actually happened right before his eyes.

After smiling at Dongming, Yi Shuihan turned his attention to the other two battlefields.

Both Wu Ye and Duo Dao are too strong. If it were Yi Shuihan or Dong Ming, either of them would be killed in a short time. Yi Shuihan does not intend to join them rashly, as it might backfire and cause trouble.

Of course, Yi Shuihan wasn't completely idle. He locked onto Wu Ye, making Wu Ye feel that he could make a move at any moment. This forced Wu Ye to be on guard. It's true that his strength far surpasses Yi Shuihan's, but he can't completely ignore Yi Shuihan. Yi Shuihan's attacks still pose a certain threat to him.

Chapter 1478, Rescuing a Colleague in Chaos City

Perhaps because Yi Shuihan unexpectedly defeated the anti-demon, Wu Ye and Duodao ultimately chose to retreat.

In reality, the demons' purpose in coming here was neither Salama nor the Emperor of Life. The former was too powerful to be killed in a short time. This was the myriad realms of the heavens, and a Great Dao Emperor might appear at any time to retaliate. Although the latter was not as powerful as the former, he was still more difficult to kill.

Upon closer examination, the demons' true aim was Dongming, the newly crowned Great Dao Emperor, while Yi Shuihan was probably just a side effect.

If it weren't for Yi Shuihan, the demons might have already achieved their goal. Even if they couldn't kill Dongming, they would have certainly forced him to retreat into the Creation World.

Despite the retreat of Wuye and Duodao, Yi Shuihan and his group did not lower their guard. On the contrary, they became even more vigilant. This time they had underestimated Yi Shuihan, and the situation would be even more serious if they came again next time.

The frequent attacks by Great Dao Emperor-level demons mean that the intensity of this battle will far exceed that of the past. The era when Chaos Emperors dominated and Great Dao Emperors did not appear is over. In this war between demons and all the worlds, Chaos Emperors can only be considered soldiers or cannon fodder. Only those who reach the Great Dao Emperor level are the backbone.

Despite killing a Great Dao Emperor-level demon, Yi Shuihan was actually well aware of his own situation. In this special period, his power was insufficient, and he even had difficulty protecting himself.

I believe that once Wu Ye and the others return, they will start targeting Yi Shuihan and try every means to eliminate this anomaly who possesses the strength of a Great Dao Emperor at the Creation Realm. They would probably be willing to exchange him for some Great Dao Emperors.

Once one achieves the Dao, one can kill a Great Dao Emperor. Once one breaks through, one is not comparable to an ordinary Great Dao Emperor. At the very least, one's combat power will reach the level of the top ten Great Dao Emperors in all the heavens and myriad realms. Such a level already has the ability to influence the course of battle.

Salama didn't want to just stay in the Creation World and wait for the demons to come knocking. He left Dongming to guard the house while Salama and the Life Emperor took the initiative to attack. Although Yi Shuihan's strength was comparable to that of a Great Dao Emperor, he was still left in the Creation World. His current situation was much more dangerous than Dongming's. Once he went out, he might be surrounded by a group of Great Dao Emperors.

In the days leading up to Salama's departure, Yi Shuihan was still able to sit still, but a week later, he no longer wanted to remain a coward.

"Senior brother, just let me out. You know my abilities. If it really doesn't work, I can just teleport back. Maybe it's even safer outside than here! Besides, if I'm not here, I can go out and draw some fire."

"Junior brother, what are you saying? We're not afraid that you'll be implicated. You should stay here. The situation outside is unclear and it's really dangerous."

In fact, Dongming understood that Yi Shuihan was right. Yi Shuihan's departure was a good thing for the others in the Creation World, but not for Yi Shuihan himself. In the Creation World, even if demons came, they could be resisted until Salama and the others returned. Unless the demons could kill Salama as well, Yi Shuihan would basically not be in any danger.

In the end, Yi Shuihan did come out, but he did so secretly. Dongming couldn't stop him. Of course, part of the reason was that Dongming was also wavering. Compared to Yi Shuihan, the other fellow disciples were no less important.

After leaving the World of Creation, Yi Shuihan headed towards areas with high levels of battle fluctuations.

Battles were practically everywhere, blood stained the void, and the entire Chaos City was no longer as prosperous as before.

Yi Shuihan did not kill every demon he saw; he only acted according to his mood.

"So this place has fallen too."

Upon arriving at the Chaos City branch of the company, Yi Shuihan found only ruins, devoid of any sign of life.

Judging from the traces, the company's branches were not completely wiped out; some people must have been hastily teleported out through the company's teleportation array.

The teleportation array of the company's branch also connects to another location in Chaos City, in a very secluded place.

Teleportation arrays aren't a panacea; otherwise, it would be great to simply teleport directly to the company headquarters.

The myriad realms are too vast, yet the teleportation range of the teleportation array is too small; otherwise, how could it have supported Yi Shuihan's terrifying long-distance teleportation?

There is no teleportation array that leads directly to Chaos City from the outside world. This is mainly to prevent evil spirits from entering the heart of the city through teleportation arrays. Chaos City is shrouded in a special magic array, and the power of teleportation cannot pass through the city walls.

These are all digressions. Since the company branch couldn't find anyone, Yi Shuihan didn't linger and headed towards the teleportation point of the teleportation array. As a company employee, he still had to do some employee duties. He didn't mind helping his colleague, but of course, if things couldn't be done, he wouldn't be foolish enough to throw his life away.

With the speed of a Great Dao Emperor, Yi Shuihan arrived at his destination in just a few hours.

"It seems we've arrived just in time."

A group of demons is slaughtering the employees of the company's branch, while a group of guardians are protecting the weaker employees in the middle, and they are about to give up.

There isn't even a single one at the Creation Dao level among the demons, while the company only has two who have attained Enlightenment, with the rest being Seekers of the Dao, and a large number below Seekers of the Dao.

The demons employed a human wave tactic, using Dao-seeking and True Saint-level demons to wear them down even though they had five Dao-enlightened demons.

After Yi Shuihan achieved the Dao of Creation, he was no longer the guardian of the Chaos City branch. After all, those who achieved the Dao were seeking to spread their teachings in order to break through. The new guardian leader was sent by the company and his strength was considered average among those who had attained the Dao.

"I only came here because Chaos City was safe, but I didn't expect to encounter something like this so soon. Even the mighty Chaos City has fallen. Am I going to die here?"

Emperor Chongnan was filled with despair. He had killed countless demons, but the number of demons in front of him showed no signs of decreasing. He would soon be exhausted, and whether or not reinforcements would arrive was still a question.

"Certainly."

With a soft shout, all the demons in the arena suddenly froze. Before Emperor Chongnan and his companions could react, the demons turned to ashes and vanished.

"Disperse!"

"It's Lord Yi Shuihan, we're saved."

"Great! Lord Yi Shuihan has come to our rescue."

Chapter 1479, The Strange Doll

Amidst the grateful and admiring gazes of the company employees, Yi Shuihan feigned guilt and regret, saying, "Alas, I'm late. If only I had arrived earlier..."

The air was filled with an element of sadness. The employees thought of their close colleagues who had been laughing and talking together just a few days ago, but were now separated by death. Moreover, because they were all cultivators, their souls had not been preserved, and they had no chance of reincarnation.

"This is not the adults' fault. If it weren't for the adults, we would probably all have died at the hands of the demons."

Emperor Chongnan spoke with a serious expression, and it seemed he was not faking it; it was from the bottom of his heart that he was very grateful to Yi Shuihan.

In fact, Yi Shuihan was just expressing his feelings slightly. He wasn't that sentimental, nor did he particularly care about the fact that even Chuangdao didn't have any employees. He only came to rescue them as a matter of convenience.

Of course, it's much better to save some grateful employees than to save a bunch of ungrateful wretches.

"What do you plan to do next?"

Faced with Yi Shuihan's question, Emperor Chongnan was very confused. Normally, with his power at the Enlightenment Realm, there was nowhere he couldn't go. However, now that the demons were running rampant, his Enlightenment Realm was really not enough. He had no power to protect himself, let alone bring a group of burdens with him.

"Does anyone know where there is a relatively safe place?"

Having no other option, he had to seek help from Yi Shuihan.

"How about this? I'll take you to my sect. Compared to other places, at least my senior brother is there to protect you. Even several Great Dao Emperors can't easily break in."

In fact, Yi Shuihan could also take them into his personal world. Speaking of the current situation, Yi Shuihan's personal world is one of the safest places in the myriad realms. As long as Yi Shuihan does not completely perish, nothing will happen. And a resurrected Yi Shuihan is even more difficult to kill than a Great Dao Emperor.

Emperor Chongnan happily accepted Yi Shuihan's proposal and was taken by Yi Shuihan to the World of Creation.

After slaying countless demons along the way, Yi Shuihan sent them to the Creation World and handed them over to his senior brother. To avoid embarrassment, Yi Shuihan did not stay long, said a few words, and left again.

This time, Yi Shuihan didn't meddle in other people's business. He rushed out of Chaos City and headed towards his master, Salama.

The battle between the Great Dao Emperors was still earth-shattering. Even across most of the myriad realms, it could be faintly sensed. Of course, this was related to Yi Shuihan's strength reaching the level of the Great Dao Emperor. Below the level of the Great Dao Emperor, it was not so easy to sense. The power of the Great Dao Emperor was on a completely different level.

“Emperors are fighting everywhere, and there are as many as seven or eight large battlefields. When did Great Dao Emperors become so common? They were all absolute big shots before when they were at the Creation Realm.”

Inwardly complaining, Yi Shuihan deeply felt his own inadequacy.

The so-called Great Battlefield is where multiple Great Dao Emperors clash, such as dozens of Great Dao Emperors fighting together. Even Yi Shuihan would find it difficult to leave such a battlefield; it is extremely terrifying.

Yi Shuihan is heading to one of the major battlefields, but he hasn't decided yet what he'll do there—whether to join directly or help secretly.

……

"I thought it was just a little mouse, but it turned out to be a big fish! We meet again, kid."

Yi Shuihan was pale, one hand was covering his abdomen, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

Yi Shuihan originally intended to sneak in, but he was ambushed before he could even assess the situation on the battlefield. The attacker was an old acquaintance, the Demon Five Leaves.

If Yi Shuihan hadn't reacted quickly enough, and Wu Ye's attack hadn't been just a normal one, he would be in far worse shape than just injured.

"In the end, we underestimated the evil spirits."

Should we fight? We definitely can't win unless I break through the defenses, but I'm reluctant to run away!

Yi Shuihan was self-aware; the gap between him and Wu Ye was enormous, and in a direct confrontation, he could only withstand a few moves at most.

This is a case of being injured before even achieving one's goal!

A leaf materialized before the five leaves, bearing an eye pattern. The eye, which had been squinting, suddenly snapped open, shooting out a beam of light…

"So, what is this?"

Yi Shuihan stared blankly at the strange sight before him. He had thought that what was shooting out of the leaf's eye was some kind of powerful attack, such as a death ray or an ultimate destructive beam. He never expected that it was just a projection. The projection showed a little baby wearing open-crotch pants, who was reaching out and calling out, "Grandma, I want Grandma."

Even though Yi Shuihan was very knowledgeable, he had never seen anything like this before. How could a dignified Great Dao Emperor-level demon be so ridiculous?

"Huh? No."

Suddenly, Yi Shuihan felt a strange connection between himself and the little baby. He even felt that something extremely terrifying would happen if he did not meet the little baby's demands.

The next moment, Yi Shuihan produced a bottle of beast milk and tossed it to the little baby.

The little baby, who was initially thought to be just a phantom, actually caught the beast milk and drank it right in front of Yi Shuihan.

One bottle of animal milk was definitely not enough; it was quickly drunk up, and then the little baby continued to ask for milk.

"It's just milk, right? I have plenty here."

When the baby took the milk, Yi Shuihan's sense of crisis lessened considerably; clearly, he had made a good choice.

Bottle after bottle of milk was drunk by the baby, and Wuye didn't make any further moves, which was very strange.

After the baby drank milk for a certain period of time, it began to grow rapidly, and its appearance vaguely resembled Yi Shuihan, which made Yi Shuihan very uncomfortable.

"Give me blood, blood."

But when the baby grows to the age of a young adult, it no longer needs milk, but blood.

Yi Shuihan instinctively wanted to give blood, but then stopped.

"Blood, I want blood."

The young man shouted loudly, his face becoming increasingly ferocious.

Yi Shuihan made no move, and as time passed, many bloodstains appeared on the young man's body, and the bloodstains became more and more numerous.

"Is it linked?"

The bloodstains on the young man's body were also reflected on Yi Shuihan's body. It seemed that the young man was dead, and Yi Shuihan might also die if he didn't do anything.

Without the system, Yi Shuihan probably wouldn't have been able to resist handing his blood to the young man, and then he would have really died.

Bang! The young man exploded, and Yi Shuihan also exploded. However, Yi Shuihan only suffered some injuries and did not know what was good for him like the young man.

"So you know that the Puppet Doll technique was taught to you by that guy, Creation? What a pity."
