Li Xie stepped on the ground and instantly soared into the sky, then threw the Nine Souls Sword towards the gigantic tree!

Bang!

When the Sword Qi that was rushing towards the towering tree dissipated, the towering tree did not move at all.

Li Xie frowned, he sighed in his heart, this huge tree was formed by the condensation of Spirit Qi.

After experiencing hundreds of years of growth, this towering tree seemed like it had grown a copper wall of iron bones.

Ordinary powers couldn't destroy it at all. It seemed that he had to treat it seriously.

"Hiss …"

Li Xie held onto the Nine Souls Sword's sword hilt tightly and pierced it into the huge tree.

Li Xie injected waves of Elemental Energy into the huge tree, and the Sword Qi of the Nine Souls Sword began to flow back and forth.

"Whiz!"

Li Xie pulled the Nine Souls Sword out of the huge tree, and started waving it at the roots of the huge tree.

It was like a torrential storm. Even a copper wall would have its moments of exhaustion.

Boom!

Under the Nine Souls Sword s Sword Qi's storm-like attacks, the towering tree was uprooted!

Bang!

The towering tree that had fallen from the sky suddenly disintegrated, eventually turning into wisps of smoke and dissipating along with the wind.

Just then, a wooden box rushed out from the ground and floated in front of Li Xie.

Li Xie sheathed his sword and stretched out both of his hands to steadily hold the wooden box in his hands.

Li Xie was beaming with joy, he was sure that the Heaven's Rage Art was in the wooden box in his hands.

On top of the wooden box were carved two lifelike divine dragons, soaring through the air while baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. A divine dragon was a divine beast from ancient times.

This wooden box had a history that was even longer and incalculable than the Nine Desolate Pavilion.

Bang!

Just as Li Xie was about to open the wooden box, it took the initiative to open. Symbols and diagrams rushed into Li Xie's mind.

Ah …

Li Xie rolled back and forth on the ground while holding his head.

In the blink of an eye, the wooden box had become one with the ground.

Sun Pei ran over to Li Xie's side. At that moment, Li Xie's face was filled with an expression that could tear one's lungs apart.

Senior, what happened to Brother Li? Just as he finished speaking, Sun Pei turned to look, only to see that the ruddy haired elder had already disappeared.

Sun Pei frowned, she felt that they had fallen into a trap.

Li Xie pushed Sun Pei away and continued to run back and forth as if she had gone mad.

Streams of air and waves of power rampaged through Li Xie's body, causing him to be unable to rest for even a moment.

Only when he was completely exhausted did Li Xie slowly come to a stop.

Li Xie gasped for breath, just now he felt someone had grabbed his throat.

At that moment, Li Xie felt his entire body aching, as though he was about to fall apart.

Li Xie awakened the Purple Light True Fire, and from there, was able to control his own consciousness and body step by step.

Following the gradual assimilation of the symbols and diagrams that rushed out from the wooden box into Li Xie's body, Li Xie was finally able to breathe happily.

Li Xie stretched out the back of his hand to wipe off the sweat on his forehead, then walked towards Sun Pei.

How could he not see Sun Pei's fearful look just now?

Huff …

Li Xie and Sun Pei looked in the direction of the sound one after the other. A black hole that was gradually growing bigger appeared in the place where the towering tree used to be.

Wave after wave of strong and dense demon aura surged out from the black hole. The sky above the entire Nine Desolate Pavilion was suddenly covered by rolling dark clouds.

Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. Violent winds gusted, and at this moment, the Nine Desolate Pavilion was like a purgatory.

Li Xie couldn't help but frown. With such a strong and dense devil energy, he could only be a Devil Monarch!

It was rumored that a few hundred years ago, the Devil Monarch led the Devil Clan and wantonly invaded the Profound Heaven Region and the Star River Region. The Realm Lords of the Profound Heaven Region and the Star River Region could no longer endure.

After the Devil Monarch was subdued, the rest of the Devil Clan fled into the deep mountains and forests, recuperating for a long time.

If it weren't for the ancient scrolls, the Devil Clan wouldn't have been active recently.

Li Xie frowned, he suddenly understood the meaning of the Heaven and Earth Mirror's words.

Rumble rumble rumble!

With a loud noise, the entire sky seemed to have been torn apart from within.

Li Xie unsheathed his sword and held the Nine Souls Sword tightly in his hand, then he protected Sun Pei behind him.

At that moment, Sun Pei heard her own rapid heartbeat.

Ha! I'm finally seeing the light of day again! Just as he finished speaking, several black clouds rushed out from the black hole!

Not long after, numerous black clouds gathered together, and a tall and sturdy man appeared in front of Li Xie and his group.

A sturdy man floated in the air and looked down at Li Xie and Sun Pei.

The tall and sturdy man smiled at Li Xie and Sun Pei. If it wasn't for them, he might have been trapped here for his entire life.

The armor worn by the burly man was already in tatters, but one could still tell the glory of his past from the armor.

He opened his arms and breathed freely. At this moment, he felt extremely happy.

Brother Li, who is he? Sun Pei held Li Xie's hand and asked.

He is the Devil Monarch! Li Xie said. His tone was not heavy, but it was loud enough to hear!

Sun Pei immediately paled. When she was at Cang An Mountain, she had heard of the fierce reputation of the Devil Monarch. Many of their spirit race Martial Cultivator s had all died miserable deaths at the hands of the Devil Monarch.

That's right, I am the Devil Monarch! As soon as he finished, Devil Monarch landed steadily on his heels.

Devil Monarch narrowed his eyes and sized up Li Xie and Sun Pei. He already knew their identities.

Li Xie stared coldly at the Devil Monarch, his right hand tightly holding onto the Nine Souls Sword.

Don't worry, I'm in a good mood right now. I don't want to kill anyone, not to mention the fact that you've saved me once! Devil Monarch said as he raised his eyebrows.

Is the city lord of Guangxuan City, Zhang Jingzhi, your henchman? Li Xie asked harshly.

So what? So what if it wasn't? The corners of the Devil Monarch's mouth lifted as he replied.

Li Xie frowned, his judgement was not wrong, Zhang Jingzhi was really a follower of the Devil Monarch, he had long since known that the Devil Monarch was trapped in the Nine Desolate Pavilion.

Through Li Xie's hands, Zhang Jingzhi smoothly unsealed the Devil Monarch.

Little girl, I have devoured the soul of your previous clan head, but unfortunately, you wasted your time here! Devil Monarch set his gaze on Sun Pei.

Sun Pei clenched her fist tightly. She tried to summon her spirit feather sword, but was stopped by Li Xie.

Little brother, you will become everyone's target soon! Devil Monarch said sinisterly.

Li Xie ran towards Devil Monarch with the Nine Souls Sword in hand. Devil Monarch shook his shoulders, and in a flash, the distance between him and Li Xie widened.

Little brother, you're still too weak now, you can't even fill the gaps in my teeth. Devil Monarch smiled, then turned and disappeared without a trace.

Li Xie looked around, not even a trace of Demonic Qi remained in the air.

Since Devil Monarch had been trapped in the Nine Desolate Hall for so long, he must have retreated instead of advance. Unfortunately, he was still unable to keep Devil Monarch in the Nine Desolate Pavilion forever.

Boom …

Along with loud noises that pierced through the clouds, the mountains at the back of the Nine Desolate Pavilion started to collapse one after another.

Li Xie turned around and looked into the distance. The big and small palaces of the Nine Desolate Pavilion were collapsing as well.

Before long, the Nine Desolate Pavilion would completely disappear from this world.

Li Xie suddenly understood one thing, if there was no Rage Heavenly Art to guard, even the Nine Desolate Pavilion would be destroyed.
