A surging, overwhelming force rushed toward him, even stronger than before — likely because after reaching the fifth floor of the Black Flame Tower, the other party's cultivation had advanced at a far quicker pace.
Just as Nie Li was about to sit down and cultivate, the white-robed young man suddenly burst into motion. Countless chains of black energy hurtled toward Nie Li from every direction.
Not a single word, and he was already attacking?
Sensing the chains crashing down, Nie Li swiftly leaped and darted out of the way.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Every spot where Nie Li's feet had just touched was instantly bombarded by the chains. Waves of black flame energy exploded one after another. The Black Flame Tower itself was extraordinarily durable — when the chains slammed into it, sparks flew in all directions.
Nie Li continuously vaulted and dodged, evading the storm-like barrage. While still midair, his body began to shift and transform, turning into a tiger-fang panda that opened its mouth and unleashed a barrage of light-dark energy bursts.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The entire fifth floor of the Black Flame Tower was engulfed in the violent surge of power.
"I didn't expect we'd meet here," the sinister young man said with a cold laugh, though his hands never stopped attacking.
"I'm a bit surprised too,
"So you really did figure out who I am!" the Demon Lord said. His hands rapidly formed seals, and his body quickly morphed into a towering five-or-six-meter-tall, eight-armed giant demon. He swung massive fists toward Nie Li, the force behind each blow carrying the overwhelming power of the Black Prison Law.
"If I couldn't even guess that much, wouldn't that make me a fool?" Nie Li saw the Demon Spirit the Demon Lord had fused with, and his heart jolted with shock. He never expected the Demon Lord to have merged with the extremely rare Eight-Armed Black Prison Demon — a creature that only existed in the Black Prison World, immensely powerful and profoundly mysterious, possessing numerous terrifying combat techniques.
Even Nie Li knew very little about it.
Nie Li could sense that the Demon Lord's comprehension of the Black Prison Law had reached a staggeringly advanced level — just one step away from the Spirit God stage!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The force of the Black Prison Law detonated in rapid succession, suddenly erupting right around Nie Li. The terrifying impact slammed into his back, sending him flying.
A trickle of blood seeped from the corner of Nie Li's mouth. His internal organs felt like they were about to be blown apart. He landed against the wall, then threw his head back and roared. The two law powers — light and dark — rapidly coalesced, forming one black and one white massive sphere of energy.
Tenfold Light-Dark Energy Burst!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The black and white spheres spiraled around each other as they shot toward the Demon Lord's eight-armed giant.
When the two spheres collided, a horrific explosion erupted. The terrifying force instantly engulfed the Demon Lord — and even Nie Li himself was swallowed by the horrifying power of the light-dark energy burst.
A tenfold light-dark energy burst was enough to kill even a sub-god-level powerhouse!
"Is he dead?" Nie Li held both arms crossed in front of his chest, bracing against the shockwave rushing toward him. He looked up, unsure whether the Demon Lord had truly perished — after all, he hadn't been able to fully gauge the Demon Lord's level of power.
The horrifying force of the light-dark energy burst hadn't yet subsided when the massive eight-armed demon suddenly appeared at Nie Li's side. The speed of its movement was so extreme that Nie Li had no time to react. Two of the demon's eight hands seized his right leg and smashed him into the ground with brutal force.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The eight-armed demon's strength seemed inexhaustible. It repeatedly hoisted Nie Li up and slammed him into the floor again and again.
That terrifying power was virtually unstoppable. Nie Li's organs felt like they were being pulverized. His body rapidly shrank, reverting to human form. With two wet sounds, a pair of wings — one black, one white — sprouted from his back. His arms also condensed into massive bone gauntlets formed from the Death Law, blocking the eight-armed demon's assault.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The two figures became streaks of afterimages, clashing ceaselessly within the confined space of the fifth floor.
Terrifying shockwaves continued to wreak havoc.
If the Black Flame Tower hadn't been sturdy enough — had it been an ordinary tower — it would long since have been torn apart by this violent force.
"I'll admit your talent is truly remarkable. You've even comprehended three types of law power. But compared to my Supreme Body, you're still far too lacking. You are destined never to be my match!" the Demon Lord bellowed. Now transformed into the eight-armed demon, his entire body had turned crimson, and his power had risen yet another level.
