The Demon-Eating Tiger Shark's gaping mouth clamped down, breaking through the icy demon flames and demonic qi alongside Vishdair's fist. With Lin Guang's assistance and amplification, the explosive power of the dual-attribute ether and Lin Guang's Samadhi True Fire were frantically injected in.

Then.

Explosion.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!

A series of intense explosions began to burst within its head!

Lin Guang had already dealt with this species of the Demon Race countless times in games.

This special ability is indeed very powerful in actual combat, and the addition of the demonic qi environment made it even more formidable.

If quantified into a debuff, it would be that when the eye is open, the opponent's attack start and end animations lengthen, and skill power decreases, while when closed, the opponent's hit rate drastically decreases.

Any skill below Blue Grade that is not masterful will be greatly affected; if the will is not firm enough, it might even break halfway through the casting.

But Lin Guang had long known the best way to deal with this trait.

That is, not to use split skills, but to directly use Mystical Techniques.

This ability, although affecting the mind, has significantly reduced effects on Mystical Techniques jointly cast by Spirit Masters and Spirit Beasts, who assist each other.

Because a Spirit Master is the best support for a Spirit Beast!

"Buzz—"

The next moment, accompanied by a sharp low growl from the large mouth of its abdomen, the demon flames on the Void Eye Demon thinned out almost entirely in the chain explosions, its head nearly deformed and cracked, flying backward with the shockwave into the darkness of the demonic qi.

However, the Demon-Eating Tiger Shark also flickered twice like a signal loss and abruptly faded, preventing Vishdair from pursuing immediately.

In this extremely dense demonic qi environment, her ability to manipulate the surrounding ether was weakened, and the full-force strike just now consumed a significant portion of the ether within her, necessitating a recharge.

But the silver-haired maiden showed no signs of exhaustion; looking at the thickening demonic qi ahead and the increasingly dark forest, she clenched her fist, displaying a satisfied yet dangerous smile on her delicate face.

"The feel is really nice~"

The previous sparring didn't allow for full strength; Explosion Fist was too dangerous, always making her hold back when dealing with Spirit Beasts with fragile constitutions.

But this time… finally, she fully enjoyed it.

At this moment, both Chelina and Lisa had also returned to their positions, not advancing rashly. The Samadhi True Fire on the four of them gathered together, burning the demonic qi, producing hissing sounds, allowing them to be nearly unaffected by the environment.

At the same time, Lin Guang, without hesitation, pulled out an Ethereal Crystal, activating [Ethereum Charging] while a phosphorescence flashed across his eyes.

The Eye of Omniscience and Omnipotence had already activated during the collision just now.

In an instant, the system interface even twisted a bit, displaying garbled-like patterns before providing accurate information.

[Level: 49]

No other information.

The thirteen leading Demon Race species, comparable to Spirit Masters, could at least be seen as equivalent to those with Purple Potential talent or those who have contracted Spirit Beasts with Purple Potential; seeing just a level with the first-degree Eye of Omniscience and Omnipotence is considered good.

Lin Guang's fingertips shimmered with starlight, pinching several types of Ethereal Crystals, as his spiritual strength surged like a tidal wave, allowing everyone to recharge while his thoughts raced.

——Sure enough, it's at the peak of Tier Four… its physical toughness is extremely high, and its usage and switching of special abilities are incredibly fluent, adept in using two special abilities even in fast-paced combat.

——There's even reason to suspect that it showcased such combat power despite Blue Star's suppression, using demonic qi to rapidly corrupt the surrounding environment, likely specialized to break through the Boundary Wall as a former Tier Five Void Eye Demon that fell.

——Without a doubt, even having fallen to the peak of Tier Four, it is absolutely stronger than its peers of the same tier.

However, even facing such a formidable opponent, there was no trace of panic on Lin Guang's face.

Because it's the opponent who should be cursing.

In its weakest oscillation phase, it encountered us, who have incredibly strong resistance to demonic qi and are best at aggressive attacks.

Being hit by the Explosion Fist and having Samadhi True Fire enter its body, combined with the [Demon Refining] Spirit Pattern starting to burn wildly, the sensation must be exhilarating.

However…

Apart from confirming the opponent's tier and combat power, an inexplicable doubt began to grow in Lin Guang's mind.

On the other side of the battlefield.

"..."

A hundred meters away from the battlefield, ensuring he wouldn't be affected, Mu Shunying had to stop his stumbling steps, sitting down breathlessly.

The speed of the spreading demonic qi and flames exceeded his expectations, and the Spirit Snow Leopard was in poor condition, teetering on the brink, so he could only feed it some Potion, retract it into the Sea of Spirit, and find a non-flammable stone in the fire to lean against.

Fortunately, the Spiritual Artifact Cloak on him could not only resist ordinary flames and smoke, but it also seemed to have some barrier effect against demonic qi.

The battle behind seemed to have temporarily subsided; the ether turbulence and shockwaves gradually dispersed, while the thick demonic qi once again shrouded the battlefield, engulfing both parties, making it difficult to see clearly.

But even so, he still didn't dare let his gaze leave the center of the battlefield.

Were they people from the Spirit Alliance? Or were they official military personnel from Zhen Sheng City dispatched to clear out the Demon Race? Or perhaps just a passing lone Spirit Master?

Judging by the intensity of the previous battle with the Demon Race, they're at least strong individuals among the Four-Star...

The identity of the other party was of crucial importance to him.

If he were lucky to encounter a passing strong person or military personnel here to suppress the demons, perhaps he could use his reputation to get them to take him along... No, he couldn't think so wishfully; in various rumors, the Spirit Alliance seemed to have some inexplicable ties with the officials.

In the next moment, the battlefield center was illuminated by vibrant points of light accompanying Ethereum Charging, casting the figures of four people into Mu Shunying's eyes, leaving him momentarily stunned.

Three dazzlingly different, yet strikingly stunning demi-human beautiful maidens were simultaneously guarding a young boy at the center.

That familiar, handsome and young face, like a rose—a beautiful and powerful partner, and that luxurious coat made of vibrant flames...

——Why the hell is it Lin Guang?!

And in the next moment, the brief pause ended, and combat abruptly resumed.

Firelight, explosions, sword light, telekinesis... once again engulfed the battlefield.

Lin Guang and his partners' figures quickly vanished within, visible only in fleeting glimpses.

"..."

"...!!"

Yet just these fleeting glimpses of the four continued to leave Mu Shunying stunned.

Already experiencing joy and sorrow, combined with the slight erosion of Demonic Qi, only two words remained in this man's less-than-clear mind.

So beautiful.

...

At the center of the battlefield, dark golden flames burned in Lin Guang's eyes, with the Eye of Omniscience and Omnipotence locking onto the rapidly flitting figure in the Demonic Qi.

The previously virtually shattered head was nearly fully reconstructed, as black fibrous tissues intertwined, wriggled, and contracted.

Lin Guang knew that energy consumption for rapid regeneration wasn't uncommon among the Demon Race, indicating the head wasn't its vital point.

However, this didn't mean nothing happened after regeneration; quite the contrary, it certainly paid a heavy price, hence the extreme trepidation.

After being struck in the head by a punch from Vishdair, it seemed as if all ten-odd eyes on its body instantly became clear, unwilling to engage in close combat any longer, fearful of another terrifying punch, and began engaging in long-range tactics.

At this moment, it ran swiftly within the Demonic Qi, launching rapid punches, with black Demonic Flames rolling over its body. The flames on its fists fired off like projectiles with shrill breaking sounds towards Lin Guang and his companions, like a storm of black meteors.

But in an instant, a multitude of fine cold lights countered.

One could see the wolf-eared maiden's hands virtually becoming a dense array of afterimages. Centered around Chelina, azure Sword Qi swept outward like torrential rain.

In this dense sword light, akin to a storm, these Demonic Flames looked like harmless fireworks; not a single one could get close.

Meanwhile, Vishdair had finished gathering energy. With both hands in fists, a spiral flame tornado, mixed with a significant amount of Samadhi True Fire, got absorbed into her body.

Lin Guang's hands, like a river of stars, rapidly shifted gestures amid fierce clashes, drawing in the void, unleashing Spiritual Power.

In an instant, a Mystical Technique unique to them took shape again.

Roar!!!

The Demon-Eating Tiger Shark descended upon the world once more.

However, at this moment.

Facing this creature, the Void Eye Demon seemed prepared, finally displaying the terrifying strength befitting its tier, one of the thirteen great Demon Race standings at the top.

"Sss—"

A peculiar syllable was uttered, its aura soaring abruptly. Then, one could see black Demonic Flames spreading from its position, stirring the Demonic Qi ever more intensely.

Then it was visible, its scarlet eyes opened wide, and both hands were raised high, folding together like a lotus, making a strange gesture in front of its head.

Though there were no eyes on that face, it positioned its hands into a circular hole before its visage.

And in the next instant… within that hole, black Demonic Flames began to blaze, materializing the shadow of an eye.

The gaze of this eye, crimson, though its multitude of eyes opened, dimmed and clouded, no longer emitting red light, as if this eye gathered all the power of the eyes on its body, locking onto the charging Demon-Eating Tiger Shark as soon as it appeared.

In an instant, the movements of Lin Guang and Vishdair stalled abruptly.

A sense of Forgetfulness, stronger than when all its eyes previously stared in unison, emerged. Even withstanding this together, their thoughts nearly snapped apart, pausing for that moment.

Yet the power of this skill did not stop there.

In a flash, the Demonic Qi and Demonic Flames within the entire forest seemed to boil and erupt, the cold vortex starting to violently squeeze and condense upon the gazed-upon Demon-Eating Tiger Shark, as well as Lisa and Chelina, Demonic Flames clinging upon them tenaciously.
