To be honest, Lian Yun never expected that what he had summoned would turn out to be one of the strongest varieties of Evil Spirits.
With an aura that was incredibly close to that of a Half Emperor, and being one of the strongest breeds, it indicated that this Ant Demon’s power might rival that of an ordinary Half Emperor.
However, Lian Yun felt no fear; instead, his fighting spirit soared, and his momentum surged once more.
One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Laws. The Ant Demon possessed immense strength, and if not for its weak point, its defense was also astonishing. As a trial opponent for Lian Yun, it was not perfect, but it was certainly not far from it.
Yet, Lian Yun still reined in the sword light and then divided the massive Sword One into ten, transforming it into ten hundred-meter-long greatswords. This action not only weakened the power of the Ten Thousand Sword Technique but also significantly reduced the attack range. While it seemed somewhat counterproductive, in reality, it was a simplification leading to complexity.
Given the defense of this Evil Spirit Ant, Lian Yun knew that even if his Ten Thousand Sword Technique were twice as strong, it might still not break through its defenses. Although this situation provided an excellent opportunity to cultivate the belief in One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Laws, the chances of landing hits with a thousand-meter greatsword would likely be few.
Thus, it would be better to transform the greatsword into a sword and practice the belief in One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Laws in sword form, which would greatly enhance the potential for improvement.
At the same time, his combat agility would also be ensured, making self-preservation a non-issue.
This way, he could engage in prolonged combat.
Moreover, beneath this Hundred-Meter Ant were dozens of ten-meter-tall Evil Spirit Ants. Although they only exuded the aura of Peak Monarchs, if Lian Yun found himself locked in a stalemate with the Hundred-Meter Ant, any attack from these Ten-Meter Ants would be fatal for him.
In reality, there was no time for Lian Yun to think too much.
As the Hundred-Meter Ant appeared and pressed down on him with overwhelming force, forcing Lian Yun to descend, it had already launched its attack.
And as Lian Yun descended, he instinctively split the massive Sword One into ten.
In an instant, the Hundred-Meter Ant charged towards Lian Yun, its two massive mandibles appearing like towering walls rushing at him.
However, Lian Yun did not flinch or evade. He controlled ten giant swords, three of which surged forward to attack the ant's mouth. If it did not retreat, these three strikes, even with diminished power, would still be enough to pierce its head. Meanwhile, two swords swept across the ground at the Ten-Meter Ants, while three of the remaining five targeted the legs of the Hundred-Meter Ant. The last two struck in a slapping motion against the front and rear of the ant's abdomen.
The Hundred-Meter Ant reacted swiftly; it bent its six legs and sank several dozen meters down, seemingly able to evade Lian Yun's three giant swords. Yet its two massive mandibles continued their assault on Lian Yun.
But Lian Yun would not allow it to have its way. The three giant swords followed closely behind like shadows; as the Hundred-Meter Ant descended, the sword tips sank along with it, maintaining their speed and forcing it to retreat.
As it withdrew, dozens of Ten-Meter Ants that had been hidden beneath and around it were quickly exposed and swept away by a Greatsword. Under the exquisite vibrations of Vibrational Force, they erupted into dozens of deep blue gas clouds, which Lian Yun promptly absorbed into his Yin-Yang Stage.
At that moment, something unexpected happened. The Vigilant Worm, which had transformed into an earring since leaving Fengdu and had remained silent until now, suddenly trembled and detached from Lian Yun's ear. It transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the corpses of the Evil Spirit Ants on the ground.
Though surprised, Lian Yun could not afford to be distracted by this development due to the rapid and expansive attacks from the Hundred-Meter Ant. He focused entirely on his assault.
One Greatsword defended against the surviving Ten-Meter Ants while three struck forward with thrusts. The other six delivered slapping blows against the Hundred-Meter Ant.
Despite this, the Hundred-Meter Ant proved formidable; although Lian Yun managed to strike out some Deep Blue Energy from its body, it quickly absorbed it back at an even faster rate. It seemed as if Lian Yun's attacks were causing no harm at all.
Lian Yun paid little mind to this.
After a prolonged battle that resulted in the defeat of several Ten-Meter Ants, he shifted to a full offensive stance, focusing solely on honing his swordsmanship.
As the power of his Ten Thousand Sword Technique increased, he gradually began to inflict slight damage on the Hundred-Meter Ant.
Half a day later, Lian Yun could distinctly feel that the corpses of the dozens of Ten-Meter Ants he had slain had vanished. Then, a Vigilant Worm transformed into a stream of light and shot into his ear, emitting a hint of joy before returning to calmness.
He was somewhat puzzled but did not dwell on it too much.
After nearly annihilating everything within a hundred-mile radius of Lan Boat City and seeing no chance of victory in the ongoing battle, Lian Yun chose to withdraw from Lan Boat City.
Firstly, although he could summon the power of the earth, his strength was still inferior to that of the Hundred-Meter Ant. Secondly, the prolonged battle over half a day had taken its toll on him.
Thus, Lian Yun planned to retreat, regroup, and then return to fight.
However, the Hundred-Meter Ant was relentless and pursued him directly.
To prevent other ordinary Evil Spirits from causing harm to the nearby city, Lian Yun had no choice but to return inside Lan Boat City.
From there, he focused on evasion, fighting while recovering.
This battle raged on for three days and nights without pause.
The thunderous roars erupting from the fierce combat within Lan Boat City could be felt even in the capital, thousands of miles away. Additionally, some people outside Lan Boat City seemed to be relaying messages and videos, which only heightened the shock in the capital.
Undoubtedly, Lian Yun had gained true strength that could rival that of a Half Emperor.
As for Lian Yun himself, he did not think much about it; he was immersed in the exhilarating feeling of fighting with all his might and experiencing his ever-growing power.
Seven Seven Nights, the relentless battle continued. Although the Hundred-Meter Ant had not sustained any significant injuries, it seemed to be showing signs of considerable exhaustion. It fought while retreating, pushing towards the center, and then slowly sank into the ground.
Lian Yun felt a sense of unfulfillment but had no intention of prolonging the encounter. He had already pushed himself for a day, and since the Hundred-Meter Ant chose to withdraw, he too needed to rest.
Leaving Lan Boat City, Lian Yun returned to the capital, to the Lin Clan's Mansion, where he utilized White Spirit Coins and Mental Potions to recover.
Time was limited; once the Peerless Demon Master initiated a great war, the people of Huaxia would likely no longer be able to fight at will. Therefore, Lian Yun felt that he should improve as much as possible while he could.
With Lian Yun's return, Yan began to set out, accompanied only by Chen Er Gou.
First, they ascended Divine Sword Mountain. After confirming that their ancestors Ouzhizi and Wan Yi had not yet returned, they headed directly to Fengdu, taking a detour from north to south.
Originally, Lian Yun had hoped to meet Zhang Jiao to see if he had any profound insights to share, but it turned out to be in vain.
Zhang Jiao and his Yellow Turban Guard had vanished without a trace.
