Path of Absolute Transcendence

The desert, once a silent witness to the ebb and flow of battle, now trembled under the shadow of a colossal demon. It stood like a pillar between heaven and earth, its form so vast that the warriors beneath it were rendered insignificant, mere ants in the face of a behemoth. The demon's face, obscured by swirling clouds of mystery, remained unseen, but its immense body was a stark testament to its power.

Kai and Ye Lin, paralyzed by an overwhelming sense of dread, found themselves robbed of breath, their bodies rigid with fear. Kai's heart hammered against his ribs, a frantic drumbeat echoing his thoughts of impending doom. Even the seasoned warriors Jiang Chen, Jiang Tai, and Li Mu were ensnared in the grip of terror, their usual composure shattered by the presence of the demon king.

Jiang Chen's voice, tinged with despair, broke the silence. "How could a demon king appear here?" The question hung in the air, unanswered, as the demon king's laughter boomed across the battlefield, a sound laced with mockery and the promise of annihilation.

"I will crush you, ants," the demon king declared, his amusement clear in the cruel twist of his words.

It was then that Yue rose, her figure cutting through the fear that had settled over the warriors. Her voice, when she spoke, was a blade of pure hatred and resentment. "Today, I will beat you and let you know your place, you filthy demon."

The demon king's mocking reply was cut short by Yue's calm retort. "If you appeared with your main body, I would probably die, but with just your projection, I can easily beat you up."

The demon king, tacitly acknowledging her words, raised his hand with the intent to crush Yue. But she stood undaunted, her resolve as unyielding as the ancient stones that lined the desert.

Yue began to chant, her voice weaving through the fabric of the cosmos, calling upon the fundamental rules of the universe. The air around her shimmered with potential, the energy of creation and destruction at her fingertips. She raised her hands, and the ground beneath her feet glowed with sigils of power, each one a complex equation that bent reality to her will.

The demon king's hand descended, a mountain falling from the sky, but Yue was ready. She stepped forward, her form blurring as she tapped into the velocity of celestial bodies. Her sword, imbued with the essence of stars, met the demon king's hand with a force that rivaled the birth of galaxies.

A shockwave rippled through the desert, sand lifting into the air like a testament to Yue's defiance. The demon king roared in frustration as his hand recoiled, the impact leaving a crater where Yue had stood moments before.

Undeterred, Yue launched herself into the air, her sword trailing cosmic fire. She moved through the demon king's attacks with the grace of a comet, each dodge a calculation of astrophysics, each counterstrike a manipulation of gravitational forces.

The demon king, enraged by her resistance, summoned meteors from the void, hurling them toward Yue with the intent to obliterate. But Yue, her understanding of the universe's laws unparalleled, turned the demon king's own weapons against him. With a flick of her wrist, the meteors reversed course, drawn back to the demon king by the inexorable pull of gravity she commanded.

The desert, a vast amphitheater under the canopy of the night sky, bore witness to a battle that would be etched into legend. Yue stood alone, facing the towering projection of the demon king, a being whose very presence distorted the air around it. The demon's laughter, a sound like thunder, rolled across the dunes, mocking the solitary figure before him.

Yue's stance was unwavering, her eyes fixed on the behemoth that loomed above. The first clash was monumental, her sword meeting the demon's fist in a collision that sent shockwaves radiating across the battlefield. Sand lifted into the air, obscuring the stars, as if the heavens themselves were holding their breath.

The demon king, his amusement fading into irritation, unleashed a barrage of attacks, each one more ferocious than the last. Yue parried and dodged, her movements a blur, but for every step she took, the demon seemed to grow larger, his power magnifying with his rage.

"Is this all you have, human?" the demon king bellowed, his voice a gale that threatened to sweep Yue away.

Yue's reply was a fierce cry, her blade cutting through the air, leaving trails of light in its wake. "I have not even begun to show you my strength!" she declared, but her breath was heavy, her limbs beginning to feel the strain of the relentless assault.

The demon king laughed, a sound that shook the earth. "You are but an insect to me. I could crush you with a thought!"

Yue faltered, her next strike missing its mark as the demon's hand came crashing down towards her. At the last moment, she rolled away, the impact of the demon's fist creating a crater where she had stood seconds before.

Her teammates, Kai, Ye Lin, Jiang Chen, Jiang Tai, and Li Mu, watched from a distance, their expressions a mix of awe and concern. They had never seen Yue pushed to her limits like this, her usual grace replaced by a desperate struggle for survival.

"The demon king is strong, but this... this is something else," Kai murmured, his knuckles white as he gripped his sword. He never thought that his captain would be so strong, Kai can be sure that this demon king was never a Tier 4 creature, but Yue was competing with it, indicating that she too was a Tier 5 cultivator. This was the first time, he was seeing a battle between Tier 5 cultivators.

Ye Lin nodded, her eyes never leaving the battle. " I , I never seen such a huge creature in my entire life."

The demonintent to obliterate. "This ends now, human!"

Yue, her yoi iuo
