As the frost-covered fists neared the gray shield, they suddenly disintegrated, transforming into five ice dragons that attacked the gray tree demon from five different directions.

This change was so sudden that the gray shield could only block two of the ice dragons, while the remaining three struck it fiercely, forcing it to stagger back.

After retreating seven or eight steps, the massive tree demon finally came to a halt, but the ground was already in ruins beneath its feet.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan furrowed his brows.

The punch just now was not simple at all; even a typical Fourth-level Venerable might have been injured.

However, the gray tree demon was only forced back a few steps, without suffering any substantial damage, which was unexpected for him.

He then snorted coldly, a startling light bursting from his eyes.

The previous punch was just an ordinary strike; his true strength went far beyond that.

He was confident that the gray tree demon wouldn't have it so easy next time.

Curling his fingers, he gathered Wind and Thunder energy to form a Sword Wave of spiritual power, shining brilliantly.

Then, Lin Xuan flicked his fingers, and the Wind and Thunder Sword Wave shot out rapidly.

A Gale and lightning, swiftly racing towards the gray tree demon.

Moreover, this Sword Wave contained the power of the Great Dragon Sword Soul, making its attack power formidable beyond belief.

With the attributes of Wind and Thunder, the intensity of the Sword Wave reached its peak.

Boom! Boom!

The massive Sword Wave smashed into the gray tree, and immediately countless thunderbolts danced, fierce winds howled, completely enveloping the opponent.

However, the black tree demon roared in anger, waving all its branches in defiance.

But Lin Xuan wouldn't give it a chance to counterattack, flicking his fingers, sending out wave after wave of terrifying Sword Qi, intertwining in the air, swiftly slashing forward.

Amid these Sword Qi, the massive tree demon was battered miserably, crying out repeatedly.

Witnessing this, everyone was astonished, their mouths agape, staring ahead in disbelief.

They knew the tree demon's strength, especially the poisonous thorns on its branches, which were incredibly terrifying, so much so that even a Fourth-level Venerable dared not confront it directly.

Moreover, not long ago, Qi Hao, ranked in the top ten of the Xuan Venerate List, had clashed with the tree demon, only to be repelled, further proving how formidable the opponent was.

Yet, such a terrifying tree demon was now continuously retreating, battered under Lin Xuan's assault, a sight that exceeded everyone's expectations.

"Is this really Lin Xuan? His strength is terrifying!"

"Indeed, the Sword Qi is so sharp, surpassing others of the same level. He even seems on par with elder figures."

A group of people gasped, their scalps tingling.

In this scene, only elder figures had such combat power, but now Lin Xuan displayed such formidable strength, shocking everyone.

However, as everyone discussed, those elder figures quickly arrived, making their moves.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan ceased his attack, retracting his Sword Wave.

With the elders taking action, the gray tree demon could hardly escape, and conserving his energy was wise for any urgent need.

Sure enough, under the joint effort of several elder powerhouses, the gray tree demon wailed repeatedly and was soon torn apart.

The scene left everyone marveling; indeed, the elders were truly formidable, far surpassing the younger generation.

Lin Xuan, too, was astounded at heart. Indeed, the combat power of these elder figures was strong, unlike the level of these disciples.

Evidently, his greatest challenge in the Tian You secret realm would be the elder figures from other forces.

With this realization, Lin Xuan became somber, not daring to be careless.

After the tree demon was dispatched, the elder figures began to sort through the tree demon's corpse as refining material.

The younger disciples, meanwhile, quickly sat down to recover their energy.

Not long after, the elder figures finished their work, and the younger generation opened their eyes, stood up, and set off once more.

Along the way, everyone remained silent, each pressing forward, as they were eager to leave the Illusion Sea Zone.

Some wealthy young disciples even took out their Demon Beasts from the Demon Beast Bag to use as mounts.

This allowed the martial artists to save considerable energy, preserving their full combat power for upcoming battles.

Observing this, Lin Xuan stroked his chin, knowing he also possessed two Demon Beasts, but after some thought, he decided not to bring them out.

His Demon Beasts were the Golden Feathered Divine Eagle and the Golden-eyed Sky Toad.

However, flying was restricted here, making the Golden Feathered Divine Eagle of little use.

Moreover, although its name included 'Sea,' the surroundings were dry as a desert, rendering the Golden-eyed Sky Toad's abilities ineffective.

Thus, he considered walking to be faster.

As evening fell, the afterglow of the setting sun stretched their shadows long on the ground.

The previously scorching temperature gradually disappeared, replaced by a chill.

Sensing the environmental change, everyone was startled, frowning deeply.

Elder Song also wore a grave expression, speaking sternly: "This Illusion Sea Zone is notorious; it is intensely hot by day and extremely cold by night, enough to freeze even a Venerable Realm martial artist to death."

"So, let's speed up and find a safe place to spend the night."

"Frozen Venerable!"

Upon hearing this, everyone blinked rapidly, taking a breath of cold air.

What does being a Venerable mean? It signifies a powerful figure, yet such individuals can still freeze to death? Just how terrifying is that temperature?

Sure enough, as if to corroborate Elder Song's words, a biting wind began to blow shortly after.

An icy chill swiftly pervaded, and the once scorching sand became freezing underfoot.

Feeling the cold, everyone hastened their pace.

Suddenly, a cry of surprise rang out.

"My God, what is that?"

A disciple pointed at the distant sky, a hint of fear in his voice.

Hearing this, everyone looked up, stunned, frozen in place.

Lin Xuan was equally shocked, his heart pounding.

However, having witnessed numerous strange events, he was shocked but not entirely paralyzed.

Still, his expression was grim because a massive shadow appeared on the distant horizon, resembling a dark cloud.

But, with his outstanding Soul Power, Lin Xuan knew it was not a dark cloud.

Because that enormous shadow was covered with scales, clearly revealing it to be a Demon Beast.

This realization only deepened his shock.

For only a portion of its body to be visible, yet cover half the sky, how big was this Demon Beast?

The immense frame of the mysterious Demon Beast hovered in the sky like a dark cloud, oppressing everyone with its presence.

Soon, two brilliant lights appeared like suns, which were known to be the enormous eyes of the Demon Beast.

"Everyone be careful, do not move." Elder Song coldly reminded.

Though he was a Sixth Layer Heaven expert, even in the face of such a massive Demon Beast, he felt uneasy, as its aura was terrifyingly powerful.
