You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

"Are you skilled in disguise and familiar with that astonishing power like a heavenly tribulation? Which member of the Human Clan are you who has achieved Saint status?"

The voice of the Jiu Xiang Demon King was deep and had calmed down by now, his eyes fixed on Lin Yue.

He naturally couldn't imagine that the opponent, like him, was merely at the Three Talents Heaven Barrier stage, just a Great Cultivator.

After all, since ancient times, the Ultimate Path had never reappeared; it was merely a myth, a legend, so who would think it was the Ultimate Path?

In addition to Lin Yue's perfect disguise, he simply assumed him to be an extraordinary Human Saint going against fate.

In everyone's understanding, mastering a part of the Ultimate Path was already the upper limit, and it was exceedingly rare.

Among the Demon Kings, only he had grasped the embryonic form of a portion of the Ultimate Path!

Even among the Demon Saints of the Demon Clan, only one had managed to grasp a part of the Ultimate Path, and that being held a status higher than many Demon Gods.

Even he, as a Demon King, had a status equal to that of a Demon God!

"Me?"

Lin Yue gave a low chuckle, saying, "You want to know who I am?"

Before finishing his words, he had already turned into a jet-black bolt of lightning traversing the void, instantly appearing in front of the Jiu Xiang Demon King.

A terrifying might spread forth.

"Do you still dare to clash head-on with me?"

The Jiu Xiang Demon King let out a cold laugh, sweeping the long spear in his hand without hesitation, its tremendous momentum completely concentrated on it, akin to rolling stars crushing forth.

At this moment, not only did he possess a semi-divine artifact long spear, but the semi-divine artifact armor on his body also granted him immense power, along with the Wind and Thunder Wings providing impact absorption and added might; this strike was far more powerful than before!

However—

A pale silver long saber suddenly appeared in Lin Yue's hand, and he instantly gripped the hilt, slicing down with a single stroke!

This strike seemed to carry a world-splitting momentum, with the Water and Fire within Lin Yue colliding into a state of chaotic confusion, granting him even more astonishing power.

Upon mastering the Ultimate Path, he could effortlessly wield the Chaos Reopening move, unleashing the most extreme power with a single thought.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the light of the saber transformed into an infinite expanse, condensing into a vast star river, instantly engulfing the Jiu Xiang Demon King, the endless slaughtering power completely enveloping him!

"What?"

Under the eruption of the terrifying power, the spear in the Jiu Xiang Demon King's hand flew out of his grip, and his entire being was left in a daze, the golden armor on his body immediately dimmed, emitting a groaning under the burden, the entire armor beginning to crumble into fragments of golden scales.

He felt as if he were a fragile creature inundated by a tsunami, with little power to resist, being swept into it.

Did the other also have a semi-divine artifact?

And even if it were a semi-divine artifact, this strike was absurdly terrifying, wasn't it?

Clearly having such strength, why bother with a sneak attack?

Wait...

This pale silver long saber seemed...

At this moment, the Jiu Xiang Demon King suddenly remembered that the Seventeenth Prince possessed a divine artifact battle saber!

But that Seventeenth Prince had not yet achieved Harmonization, making it impossible to possess such strength!

Could it have been lent to the person in front of him?

Amidst the vast river of saber light, the Jiu Xiang Demon King resembled a drowning figure, trapped by fierce currents, struggling desperately to break free, to no avail.

The gap was simply too immense.

He could only rely on the semi-divine artifact armor to hold out for a brief moment.

"Escape..."

The humiliating thought flashed through his mind, and his divine thought was about to activate the Big Movement Talisman within his storage treasure.

Even though the space on the outskirts of the Great Yong Divine Formation was layered, allowing for teleportation only up to a thousand-mile range outside the divine formation, he could still teleport sideways to over ten thousand miles away and escape beyond the thousand-mile range.

At that moment—

"Jiu Xiang Demon King, don't you want to know who I am?"

A tone of divine thought transmission suddenly sounded in his mind.

The Jiu Xiang Demon King suddenly realized that the figure in front of him was Duanmu Yan, who suddenly turned into a person he had met not long ago.

"Seventeenth Prince?!"

Importantly, the other's aura was nothing more than a Great Cultivator, and this unbelievable scene immediately shook his spirit, slowing his activation of the Big Movement Talisman by a fraction of a second.

In that instant, Lin Yue's figure flickered like electricity, once again sweeping past the Jiu Xiang Demon King, delivering yet another slash!

"Boom!"

The armor at the neck of the Jiu Xiang Demon King completely shattered into scales, his head severing and shattering, revealing the Primordial Spirit hidden within his consciousness.

The divine thought also halted for a moment, and then the light of the Heaven Suppressing Treasure Mirror projected onto his Primordial Spirit, instantly severing its connection to the storage treasure.

"You won't escape."

Lin Yue's lips curled into a cold smile, fully activating the Heaven Suppressing Treasure Mirror, attempting to seal the Jiu Xiang Demon King's Primordial Spirit.

Heavenly light gathered, focusing to a point.

"Could it be... the real Ultimate Path?"

At this moment, the Jiu Xiang Demon King's Primordial Spirit, resembling a tiny human, took one last look at Lin Yue, then slowly closed its eyes.

"What first genius of the Demon Clan..."

"A thousand years, still not matching the first genius of the Human Clan..."

Then the entire Primordial Spirit burst into light, instantly transforming into a dazzling orb.

Under the barrier of the Heaven Suppressing Treasure Mirror's light, the self-destruction of the Jiu Xiang Demon King's Primordial Spirit caused little disturbance, and it was suppressed accordingly.

But his Primordial Spirit had completely dissipated into nothingness.

"Indeed, mastering a part of the Ultimate Path is different..."

Lin Yue stood in midair, gazing at the place where the Jiu Xiang Demon King had disappeared, with only three semi-divine artifacts and a storage treasure left floating in the air.

He initially thought the Jiu Xiang Demon King was merely a Demon King; perhaps he could manage to seal the opponent's Primordial Spirit.

Unexpectedly, the opponent still had the ability to self-destruct before the sealing with the Heaven Suppressing Treasure Mirror was complete.

Indeed.

Even mastering a part of the Ultimate Path was incredibly rare.

Looking across Great Yong, only the Crown Prince and Second Prince had proved and transcended with part of the Ultimate Path.

Although the Jiu Xiang Demon King had only grasped an embryonic form, he was undoubtedly an exceptional genius of his era, worthy of the name of the first genius of the Demon Clan.

Even if due to the Demon Tribe's long lifespan, spending over a thousand years, he remained an exceedingly rare talent.

"Fortunately... this was within the thousand-mile range of the Great Yong Divine Formation..."

Lin Yue let out a slight sigh of relief.

Here, at most, only Demon Kings could appear, with even Demon Saints needing to suppress their cultivation to that of a Demon King, using the special methods of the Demon Clan to enter this thousand-mile range.

Once inside, their power would be completely suppressed, unable to temporarily break through to Demon Saint.

Otherwise, if the opponent forcefully achieved Harmonization, he would have to flee.

"Just right, the further progress with the Ultimate Path requires quantitative change to lead to qualitative change."

Lin Yue waved his hand to collect the three semi-divine artifacts and the storage treasure, "I need to master more paths to enrich my Ultimate Path. Just when I'm sleepy, someone brings a pillow?"

Using semi-divine artifacts as teachers to perceive the paths they contain is undoubtedly an excellent path of advancement.

Even if these paths went beyond the fundamental Four Phases of Water, Wind, Earth, and Fire, he had already grasped the embryonic form of the Ultimate Path; everything stemmed from the Ultimate Path, so he could naturally accommodate other paths.

Starting from zero foundation would just take a bit more time.

Even after achieving Harmonization, he could continue to grasp new paths, which was the true profoundness of the Ultimate Path.

"These three semi-divine artifacts coincide with three Heavenly Reversal Paths."

Lin Yue nodded to himself, "After returning to Great Yong, I will seek help from my master and second brother to exchange more semi-divine artifacts. The more paths I master, the greater the likelihood of achieving a substantial qualitative change in the future."

If he guessed correctly, this was the method to make the Ultimate Path achieve perfection.

For other paths to reach perfection, they need to absorb similar paths of heaven and earth, but the Ultimate Path already contains everything; theoretically, one must master enough paths to accumulate to perfection.

"However, I need to achieve Harmonization first."

Lin Yue took a deep breath, "And there's still Dao Heart to pass... If I can't perfect my Dao Heart, I'll have to try Harmonization through the Bloodline Path."

Perfecting the Dao Heart was still a daunting challenge.

Without developing an Inner Heaven and Earth in the heart, without an Inner Heaven and Earth's origin nourishing the Dao Heart Will, achieving perfection was difficult.

A perfected Dao Heart was one of the crucial conditions for Proving!

Countless astonishing Saints had been blocked at the Dao Heart stage, even when their paths and cultivation techniques were perfected.

"It's time to go back."

Lin Yue glanced around, waved his sleeve to sweep away any traces and energy, and then transformed into a beam of light, flying into the frontier of Great Yong.
