After all, if the Demon Lord were as smart as a True Man, we would have no chance."

This statement caused a buzz among the crowd.

Xiao Jie also stood out, his gaze sweeping over the group:

"Ladies and gentlemen, don’t think too much. This level of Boss is definitely not likely to be defeated in one go. Destroying it dozens or even hundreds of times is possible. Therefore, regarding tactics... just don’t think about them, we’ll figure it out as we fight."

He smiled: "After all, we won’t really die. The Four Symbols Divine Cauldron is right there waiting for us."

Only then did the crowd gradually quiet down.

Indeed.

After all, we won’t really die.

What are we afraid of?

The Full-time Expert waved his hand: "Let’s go!"

——————

Once again at that majestic immortal mountain, once again at that White Jade Palace.

Xiao Jie stood in front of the palace gates, a complex emotion surging in his heart. He still remembered the tension and anxiety he felt six months ago when he first came here—at that time, he had just advanced to Daluo and knew nothing about the Demon Lord.

Now, revisiting the old place, he was prepared to face countless annihilations.

Even so, he couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous.

Forty-three Daluo Golden Immortals, majestically standing in front of the gates. The crowd had various expressions, yet their gazes were all determined.

Time was running out, the salvation operation was urgent, succeed or die trying.

The Full-time Expert stepped forward, gently pushed—

The door opened silently.

In front was a white corridor, entirely built with smooth white jade, emitting a gentle white light, creating an atmosphere that truly gave the illusion of being in a holy place of the immortal mountain.

However, the pervasive dead silence in the palace, coupled with an eerie feeling devoid of a single shred of Spiritual Energy, made the crowd realize—

This place is not to be taken lightly.

The Demon Lord was transformed by a Saint, and a Saint himself is a huge "Spiritual Energy singularity". Even without any consciousness, it automatically absorbs the Spiritual Energy of the surroundings. This palace’s bizarre atmosphere stems from that—all the Spiritual Energy has been absorbed by the Demon Lord.

The surroundings might appear calm, but if low-level ordinary Immortals came here, they wouldn’t last more than a few minutes before succumbing to Spiritual Energy exhaustion.

Luckily, Daluo Golden Immortals all have the Three Flower Protection, Five Qi Inner Circulation, establishing their own Cycle, unaffected by external influences.

The group proceeded down the white jade corridor, heading towards the depths of the palace.

Footsteps echoed clearly in the empty corridor. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Finally, they arrived at the main hall.

It was an extremely vast space, with a ceiling that seemed endless and empty surroundings. In the center of the hall, a white-clothed Taoist sat cross-legged on a meditation mat, hovering in mid-air, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

This scene was exactly the same as half a year ago.

The white-clothed Taoist was expressionless, eyes tightly shut, not even breathing, like a sculpture. However, the enormous gravitational pull of Spiritual Energy emanating from him made everyone present feel a jolt—an attraction like a black hole, gently pulling the Spiritual Energy within their bodies toward him.

Even relying on Daluo cultivation to block this attraction, the turbulence of Spiritual Energy within was unavoidable.

The blood bar above his head was clearly visible:

Original Demon Venerable (Taixi Upgrader): Level ???? Life Value: 320 million

"I am a farmer—charge!"

"Buff me!"

I am a farmer shouted, activating Mixed Element Golden Body instantly! A golden light enveloped him, transforming him into a hundred-foot tall golden figure!

Behind him, six healers acted simultaneously!

Daluo Immortal Technique—Nine Profound Return Origin Shield!

Daluo Immortal Technique—Ten Thousand Spirits Protection!

Daluo Immortal Technique—Five Elements Divine Light!

Daluo Immortal Technique...

Six powerful Protective Magics were simultaneously applied to I am a farmer! Layers of light enveloped him like a glowing human-shaped dumpling!

I am a farmer charged ahead, the golden giant swung a punch without flourish!

The golden fist, carrying earth-shattering power, came crashing down towards the white-clothed Taoist!

At the same time—

The white-clothed Taoist’s eyes suddenly opened!

Those eyes, indifferent and lifeless, devoid of any emotion.

He lightly raised a hand—

The golden fist of I am a farmer stopped as if hitting an invisible barrier!

Boom—!!!

Huge spatial cracks spread out from around the fist, like a shattered mirror!

The surrounding White Jade Palace disappeared instantly!

The scene changed in a flash—the main hall, walls, ceiling, all vanished like a bubble!

In their place, was an endless void! The group floated in this void.

In the distance, countless starlight could still be seen twinkling! They seemed to have been instantly teleported into the depths of the universe!

The battle commenced immediately.

This time, the battle went much smoother than Xiao Jie had expected.

After all, with half a year passed, their preparations were more thorough. Equipment, Magic Treasure, Skill, all were vastly improved. Even though on the first fight they weren’t wearing the best set of "Battle Preparation Armor," but only "Pioneer Armor," they were still incredibly strong.

Not to mention the massive error margin provided by numerical superiority.

I am a farmer relying on a heap of healing buffs, endured the rainbow iridescence attacks of the white-clothed Taoist. Those iridescence attacks came repeatedly, and were continuously countered by the Shields on him. While Shields broke layer by layer, they regenerated layer by layer, never letting his true body be harmed.

Once the hate was stabilized, Xiao Jie acted immediately—

Daluo Immortal Technique—Ancestor Holy Dragon Form!

He transformed into a golden dragon, a torrent of Annihilation Breath erupted! The protective field around the white-clothed Taoist vanished instantly.

"The Shield is broken! Output!"

Over thirty Daluo Golden Immortals acted simultaneously!
