"Blood Evil Armor."
"Chaos Palm!"
A crimson arm collided with a pair of black palms, once again unleashing a storm of energy within the underground space.
The powerful aura exploded in the air, and the two figures, who had almost abandoned their defenses, were instantly blown apart by the force.
Their bodies slammed into the walls of the space, revealing their battered and bruised forms.
Blood continued to flow from the various wounds on Xiao Chong's body, with a particularly gruesome gash pierced through his left shoulder.
In his memory, this was the first time he had been injured to such an extent in a battle against a strong opponent.
The Dou qi within his body was also nearly depleted.
He had already used his Heaven-tier combat techniques seven or eight times; otherwise, he would never have been able to match this demon's moves.
The Chaos Palm he had just executed was a Heaven-tier palm technique he had comprehended from the Earth-tier combat manual "Chaos Qi."
Throughout the exchange, he had also been maintaining the condensation of the Life and Death Sword.
Even with a Heaven-tier Dou qi technique, he couldn't sustain such consumption. Not even the "Nirvana Heaven Technique," which he had modified from the "Burning Art," could handle it.
Only by circulating the "Zhou Tian Circulation Technique" could Xiao Chong feel a semblance of control. Moreover, his Dou qi was of an exceptionally high innate quality, allowing him to maintain the minimum circulation of his fighting spirit.
All of this combined enabled him, a one-star Dou Zun, to contend with a demon whose aura was almost at the peak of Dou Zun.
After all, this demon was likely something even a half-Saint level expert would struggle to deal with.
"As expected of a monster from the Outer Realm's Evil Clan, it's truly difficult to handle."
While Xiao Chong was inwardly shocked, the demon in the distance, equally battered and bruised, was even more terrified.
Three of the four arms behind it had already been severed by Xiao Chong. The Blood Evil Armor, which it had spent over a thousand years cultivating, was now almost completely dissipated.
The injuries on its body would take at least a century to recover from.
Moreover, from blood of Xiao Chong it had tasted that this person was only twelve years old! Damn it, this person is only twelve!
What kind of genius is this?! Even if Xiao Chong were the chosen one of this lower plane, he shouldn't be able to achieve this level! And this person was getting more and more excited as the battle went on, becoming increasingly adept in combat. What kind of monstrous comprehension is this!
Thankfully this person is only from a lower plane. Otherwise, with his talent alone, he could pose a threat to the entire Outer Realm Evil Clan!
The demon thought with lingering fear, grateful that Xiao Chong was from a lower plane. If he had been cultivating in the Great Thousand World, his twelve years of talent would have been enough to obliterate it in an instant.
Though inwardly shaken, the demon roared coldly.
"Indeed, looks like i've been underestimating you, a lower plane dweller. But if we continue like this, at best, we'll both end up severely wounded or die."
Indeed, while Xiao Chong's wounds were fewer, the more abundant spirit origin within his body was now almost completely drained.
If they continued, he would have to burn his essence blood to fight.
If it really came to that, it would indeed end in mutual destruction.
However, Xiao Chong simply laughed at this.
"You're right, but I have a trump card."
Xiao Chong silently took out a vibrant green fruit from his spatial ring.
This was a fruit he had cultivated through his extraordinary comprehension and grafting techniques.
Xiao Chong named it the "Nourishing Divine Fruit."
The meaning was clear even a god could benefit from its restorative effects by consuming it!
After swallowing the fruit, Xiao Chong's wounds began to heal at a visible rate, and his depleted energy was replenished. His overall aura instantly stabilized.
"Damn it!"
Seeing Xiao Chong's wounds rapidly heal with the help of the fruit, the demon's face turned dark. Meanwhile, Xiao Chong felt his condition improve significantly. Although not fully recovered, he at least had the ability to fight at his peak strength again.
"Come on, let's continue."
"You, a lowly creature from the lower realm, are so despicable! You even resort to elixirs!"
Even with the best composure, the demon couldn't help but curse at the sight of Xiao Chong's current state.
"Aren't you bullying me because I've been stuck at Dou Zun for thousands of years without any supplies? This is a life-and-death battle between us—only one of us will survive and you resort into using an elixir!"
"Well, having more resources is also part of my strength."
At this moment, Xiao Chong smiled.
People used to say that farming was a waste of time.
Looks like it's proving its usefulness now!
Seeing Xiao Chong pick up the Life and Death Sword again, the demon's face darkened. He tried to calm his tone and said, "Kid, I think we can consider a truce."
"Truce?"
An intrigued expression appeared on Xiao Chong's face.
He felt like he was witnessing a classic scene.
"So you think we should have a truce?"
Seeing the smile on Xiao Chong's face, the demon felt deeply humiliated but still managed to keep his tone steady. "That's right. I am a member of the Blood Evil Clan from the Outer Realm. My clan is vast and powerful. Not just you, but even your entire lower realm wouldn't stand a chance."
"If you let me go now, when my clan invades this lower realm in the future, I can ensure they spare you and your family."
"How about that? Let me tell you, in my clan, I'm just a minor officer."
"There are countless people stronger than me, stronger than you, by a thousand times."
Xiao Chong chuckled and said, "You really are shameless."
Now, Xiao Chong understood why Ancient God Tuoshe had ensured that the Dou Qi Continent lacked Primordial Emperor Qi.
In essence, Primordial Emperor Qi was the guiding aura from the Upper Realm of the Great Thousand Worlds.
Lacking Primordial Emperor Qi meant that no more Dou Di would emerge, but it also prevented the attention of the Outer Realm Demons.
As for after Xiao Yan became the Flame God, there was no need to fear an invasion of the Dou Qi Continent...
In other words, for at least the next few decades, the Dou Qi Continent wouldn't have to worry about any invasions.
This development time was more than enough for him.
Instead of letting this guy go, there's no telling if he might bring back the Blood Evil Clan or some other foreign evil clan.
The consequences of that would be even worse than Soul Emperor using the Central Plains as a cauldron and living beings as ingredients to refine pills.
"You just a brat from a lower realm! I'll fight you to the death!"
Seeing the mocking smile on Xiao Chong's face, the demon immediately flew into a rage, his body beginning to swell at that moment.
In response, Xiao Chong simply gripped the Life and Death Sword and charged forward.
"By the way, thanks for exchanging blows with me earlier. I've comprehended a new sword technique."
