"I am Reflection, congratulations on your successful breakthrough."

"I have gained another like-minded person. You are welcome to visit my home in the future."

"..."

One by one, the Great Dao Emperors began to convey friendly messages and express goodwill to Yi Shuihan, and Yi Shuihan reciprocated with goodwill.

These Great Dao Emperors protected him just now. Although some were forced by circumstances, and others were due to the favor of the Creation Emperor and the Life Source Liquid, in fact, they did help Yi Shuihan.

If possible, Yi Shuihan wanted to repay Salama's favor on his own. As for the Life Source Liquid, he could only make it up to the Life Emperor later.

"I feel like I could put up a fight with Goye."

Sensing his newfound strength, Yi Shuihan revealed an eager look in his eyes. Compared to before the breakthrough, he was actually only a few times stronger, but this "several times" was a comparison between himself and his previous self plus the power of his personal world and the system.

In other words, even without the power of his personal world and the system, his strength is already among the best of the Great Dao Emperors. He roughly estimates that he is about the same as the leech who just ambushed him. With the power of his personal world and the system's support, he already has the strength to fight a Five Leaves battle. He doesn't know if he can win, but at least he won't lose.

With his strength greatly increased, Yi Shuihan no longer needed to be cautious; he could now roam the battlefield at will.

"Then, you'll be my first opponent after my breakthrough! I'll settle my score on the spot."

Instead of going to find Wuye, Yi Shuihan set his sights on Zhichong. Although Zhichong did not cause him to fail in his breakthrough, it was not without its uses. Without Zhichong's interference, he would probably be even stronger now.

"You barely broke through by sheer luck, yet you dare to provoke me. I'll kill you completely."

Zhi Chong was completely unafraid to confront Yi Shuihan head-on.

Chapter 1486, Battle of the Five Leaves

In just the first collision, the difference in strength was already apparent. Zhi Chong retreated several steps, while Yi Shuihan did not retreat an inch. In terms of pure strength, Yi Shuihan was stronger.

"Looks like you're the one who's going to be killed!"

Yi Shuihan said with a hint of mockery.

Zhi Chong's face was extremely ugly. He had not expected Yi Shuihan to be so powerful. A Dao Emperor who had just been promoted was already this strong? What a joke!

"I wasn't taking it seriously just now. Don't get cocky. Watch me tear you to shreds."

The leech's power erupted, and its ferocious claw strike made a booming sound in the void, its momentum overwhelming.

Faced with this fierce claw, Yi Shuihan did not back down. He raised his hand and threw a punch. His fist seemed to pierce through the void, and the wind from the punch alone caused ripples to spread outwards.

Claw and fist clashed, the fist was unstoppable, and the claw was smashed to pieces with a bang.

"I grant you death."

The sound transformed into a prison, blocking Zhichong's retreat. Afterwards, Yi Shuihan launched a series of attacks, continuously dealing extremely high damage.

"Dead? So fast, that's unbelievable!"

"So cool! I love it."

"This fighting power, wow, we can't mess with them, we can't mess with them."

Yi Shuihan cleanly and swiftly killed Zhi Chong, and in an instant, the morale of the Great Dao Emperor camp soared, and their combat power increased. The evil side was stunned.

Although Zhichong was not a demon of the Five Leaves level, he was not an ordinary demon either. There were no more than ten demons stronger than him on this battlefield. The fact that Yi Shuihan could kill Zhichong cleanly and efficiently meant that Yi Shuihan could slaughter most of the demons present.

Although demons belong to the chaotic faction, they also possess intelligence and emotions, and are afraid of death. Yi Shuihan's power made them feel the threat of death. If no demon stood up to stop them, the other demons would be filled with fear and unable to fully exert their combat power.

Yi Shuihan knew that demons would definitely try to stop him. After killing Zhichong, he did not linger and attacked the demons that were nearby again. Before any powerful demons could stop him, he wanted to kill as many demons as possible to weaken the power of the Great Dao Emperor's camp to the greatest extent.

Because of the existence of the system, Yi Shuihan is different from ordinary Great Dao Emperors. He can use the power to strike against evil spirits, which is why he was able to kill Zhichong in such a short time. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to kill Zhichong with the strength he showed.

As long as the Dao River of the Great Dao Emperor remains intact, he will not die. His body is not a weakness. However, demons can contend with the Great Dao Emperor. They do not have a Dao River, but their regenerative ability is terrifyingly strong. Only by completely eroding their demonic power can they be killed.

To kill a demon of similar strength, the Great Dao Emperors need to slowly wear it down, inflicting damage on the demon time and again. The demon then uses its demonic power to recover. The Great Dao Emperors do not have the ability to directly target the demonic power. Yi Shuihan is different. The system's power allows him to directly obliterate the demonic power, which is equivalent to attacking its weakness.

This is like the demon having another layer of armor. The Great Dao Emperors must break through the armor to kill the demon, but Yi Shuihan ignores the armor and attacks the demon's true form directly.

How long does it take to kill a Great Dao Emperor-level demon? For an ordinary Great Dao Emperor, the answer is several days or even longer if the strength difference is not significant. Only when the strength difference is more than ten times can an instant kill be achieved. With more than ten times the strength, one can forcefully touch the demon's power without needing to take a roundabout route.

Yi Shuihan's power doesn't need to be ten times greater than the power of the demons; as long as he's stronger than them, he can touch the power of the demons. This is the advantage the system gives him.

Using his own advantages, Yi Shuihan quickly and swiftly killed more than a dozen demons. Although they were all relatively ordinary demons, none of them could compare to Zhichong, which turned the tide of the battle.

"I was careless for a moment and you've become quite powerful. Now I'll correct all of this."

Wu Ye's arrival stopped Yi Shui Han's killing spree.

As for the Judgment Emperor who fought against the Five Leaves earlier, he is currently fighting against another demon and seems to have the upper hand, but he will not be able to free himself for a while.

"You've already lost your chance to kill me since you failed to kill me once. Now it's my turn to kill you."

Yi Shuihan was also filled with murderous intent towards the demon who had almost killed him.

"Ridiculous. Killing me? It would be more appropriate for your master to say that. You are far from capable."

"Itsuki said dismissively."

"Then let's give it a try, but don't run away!"

The Dao River belonging to Yi Shuihan was summoned, and Wu Ye was also enveloped within the Dao River's range.

Using the Dao River also signifies that Yi Shuihan is going all out. When the Dao River manifests, the power that the Great Dao Emperor can unleash is several times greater than when it is not manifest.

Of course, once the Dao River manifests, it will be easier for the enemy to damage it, which has both advantages and disadvantages.

"A single leaf can cover the sky"

A giant leaf suddenly appeared above the Dao River, obscuring it.

"Two leaves scattered in the sky."

The two leaves stood facing each other, countless runes flashing and stirring the space. The originally peaceful Dao River suddenly became turbulent.

"It was actually suppressed by half."

Originally, after reappearing in Daohe, Yi Shuihan felt that his strength had increased sixfold, but now he felt that it was only three times stronger, with half of his power being suppressed.

"Five Leaves? Are there even stronger ones?!"

Fortunately, Wuye didn't create a Sanye or anything like that, and went straight into close combat with Yi Shuihan.

Wuye is indeed much stronger than Zhichong. Even after Yishuihan manifested in Daohe, Wuye was still slightly stronger than Yishuihan, and her combat awareness was in no way inferior.

In the short term, neither Yi Shuihan nor Wuye gained the upper hand, and the two sides continued to exchange blows.

"He actually fought to a standstill with that Five Leaves guy; I underestimated him!"

"Goye hasn't used his full strength yet. We must not let Goye kill him later."

"He's only just advanced! After cultivating for billions of years, he might be able to surpass his master, Zaohua."

Many are paying attention to the battle between Yi Shuihan and Wu Ye. Currently, their fight is considered one of the key points on the entire battlefield. There are also several other key points, such as the battles between the Creation Emperor, the Life Emperor, and the Judgment Emperor. A loss in any of these battles would have a significant impact on the entire battlefield.

Chapter 1487, Burning Demon

"I, who have lived for countless years, have actually fought like this with a mere brat who has only lived for a few hundred million years."

The more Wu Ye fought Yi Shuihan, the more alarmed he became, and the stronger his killing intent towards Yi Shuihan grew. He vaguely sensed that if he could not kill Yi Shuihan this time, he would not be a match for Yi Shuihan the next time they met.

At this moment, Yi Shuihan's importance in Wu Ye's heart even surpassed that of the Creation Emperor. Although the Creation Emperor was strong, his strength would not increase in a short time, and he was far less of a threat than Yi Shuihan.

"No, even if it means burning my magic, I will keep him here."

The power of evil is the foundation of all evil. Once the power of evil is burned, one can gain a great boost in a short period of time, but it is difficult to recover afterwards.

Even during the battle with the Judgment Emperor, Wu Ye had no intention of burning his magic power, but now, facing a newcomer who had just been promoted to the Great Dao Emperor, he had such a thought.

Not only did the idea come to mind, but Goyo also turned that idea into real action.

The demonic power suddenly ignited, making the demon look like a Super Saiyan unleashing its power, its body engulfed in black flames, so evil and ominous.

Having burned with demonic power, Wu Ye's strength increased nearly tenfold in an instant, easily injuring Yi Shuihan. This was only because Yi Shuihan reacted quickly enough.

"Does it have to be this brutal?!"

Yi Shuihan happened to know about Wu Ye's condition. He had seen demons use it when he was watching the battle before, and every time a demon burned its magic power, its opponent could only retreat. A head-on confrontation would be suicidal.

In fact, the Great Dao Emperor also has a corresponding way to deal with the state of demons, which is to burn the Dao River. The source of the demon's power is manifested in the power of the demon, while the Great Dao Emperor is the Dao River. The Dao River and the power of the demon are of the same level, so burning the Dao River can obtain the same power as burning demonic power.

Compared to the burning of demonic power by evil spirits, the burning of Dao River comes at a greater cost. One careless move can lead to over-burning and irreversible consequences. After all, compared to evil spirits directly killing and devouring to gain power, the source of Dao River is the transmission of the Dao, which is far less convenient than the former.

The number of Great Dao Emperors on the demonic side is greater than that of the genuine Great Dao Emperors in all the heavens and myriad realms. If the demonic side were to use burning demonic power, the Great Dao Emperors would burn their Dao Rivers. There would be no need to fight at all; they would be worn down to death by the demonic side. Therefore, generally speaking, the Great Dao Emperors would not burn their Dao Rivers. When the demonic side burns their demonic power, it is more normal for them to choose to die and temporarily avoid the sharp edge.

The Great Dao Emperors are generally stronger than the demons, so if they are careful when the demons burn their magic power, they can survive. Once they survive, it will be time to counterattack.

If given a choice, Yi Shuihan would prefer to follow the conventional procedure and wait for the Wuyes' madness to subside before making any decisions. However, the reality is that he cannot wait.

Wu Ye was already slightly stronger than Yi Shuihan, and with the addition of burning magic power, her strength now far surpasses Yi Shuihan's by a whole level. She can't beat him, and she can't outrun him.

Filled with murderous intent, Wu Ye attacked with ruthless ferocity, each move deadly. In just a few breaths, Yi Shuihan's hands were broken and he coughed up a lot of blood.

"Damn it, I have no temper, right? Daohe, get me fired up."

If he didn't go crazy now, he wouldn't even have the chance to go crazy again, so Yi Shuihan decisively chose to burn the Dao River.

In fact, Yi Shuihan could have chosen to teleport away using the super teleportation, but he ultimately chose not to back down. If he had no other choice, he could have chosen to escape, but now that he clearly had the strength to fight, why should he run away when he could fight?

Yi Shuihan's outburst only slightly startled Wu Ye, who then continued to attack with a cold smile. In his view, Yi Shuihan had just broken through, and the process was so tortuous that his Dao River was not stable at all. Now, he was burning it, which was simply digging his own grave and only hastening his death.

One burned magic power, the other burned the Dao River, and the strength of the two sides narrowed considerably. Unfortunately, Yi Shuihan was still no match for Wu Ye and remained at a disadvantage, although he was not being beaten as badly as before.

Yi Shuihan was frustrated that he still couldn't defeat Wuye after burning his Dao River, but he could accept it. After all, compared to Wuye's accumulation, his Dao River had only been born for a short time, so it was normal that his burning bonus was less than his opponent's.

In fact, it's quite good if a newly established Dao Emperor can get a 2x bonus from Dao River Burning, and it can only last for a very short time. Yi Shuihan's current burning bonus is more than 7x, far exceeding that of ordinary Dao River Burning. Many veteran Dao Emperors only have this number.

"What should I do? It seems I really can't win! Should I just try to outlast him? Let's see if he runs out of magic power first or if I give up first?"

In a battle of attrition, Yi Shuihan's Dao River alone would definitely not be able to outlast Wu Ye. However, with the support of the system, Yi Shuihan's Dao River burns at a slower rate than Wu Ye's, so he might not necessarily lose.

After the battle lasted for several minutes, Wu Ye's offensive eased. Yi Shuihan was covered in bruises, but his expression remained unchanged, and he did not back down at all.

Such a fighting spirit amazed Wu Ye, and the more amazed she was, the stronger her desire to kill Yi Shuihan became.

Just when Yi Shuihan thought he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, Wu Ye's aura suddenly surged.

"Five Wheels - Wave Extinction"

A black wheel composed of five leaves floats behind the five leaves, and each rotation unleashes astonishing demonic power, forming a wave of demonic energy.

The demonic waves contain immense energy; even a single drop of demonic power can easily severely injure a Dao Creator. And now, Yi Shuihan is facing precisely such a wave formed by demonic power.

At this moment, Yi Shuihan felt as if he were a small boat adrift in a stormy sea, in danger of capsizing at any moment.

A killing move, an absolute killing move; only at this moment did Wuye reveal the claws hidden deep within.

"Can't stop it."

It was unstoppable, but it had to be stopped, or else death would ensue. Faced with the crisis of death, Yi Shuihan mobilized all his strength, just to hold on for a little longer.

The excruciating pain traveled from his body to his soul, almost causing Yi Shuihan to faint. Even the Dao River was corrupted by the demonic waves, becoming extremely weak.

"Is this really going to be a disaster?"

Yi Shuihan was almost unable to think anymore.

"Young Yi, quickly use the Life Source Liquid!"

The booming voice jolted Yi Shuihan awake, bringing him back to his senses somewhat.

"That's right, and there's also the Life Source Liquid."

A drop of life-giving liquid transformed into a faint light, protecting Yi Shuihan, resisting the loss of his life, and allowing him to recover at a certain speed.

"My life is temporarily saved."

Chapter 1488, Temporary Retreat

A single drop of Life Essence Liquid could completely heal Yi Shuihan's injuries. However, because Yi Shuihan was still losing blood, the healing speed of the Life Essence Liquid was much slower, and the life force within it was constantly dissipating.

In this situation, using Life Essence can indeed maximize its value. For example, if full health is 100 points, Life Essence can usually replenish more than 100 points of health. Normally, when using it, it can only replenish a maximum of 100 points, and the rest is wasted. However, because Yi Shuihan is constantly being eroded by the evil waves while replenishing health, it can replenish more than 100 points of health.

If possible, Yi Shuihan actually didn't want this effect that exceeded 100 points.

The first drop of Life Essence lost its effect after healing Yi Shuihan's injuries. At this time, the demonic waves continued, and after a few breaths, Yi Shuihan had to take out another drop of Life Essence.

"We can't keep going like this for long."

Yi Shuihan didn't have many drops of the Life Source Liquid. If he were the Life Emperor, he could exhaust Wuye to death with such a drain. Of course, Wuye would never use such a high-consumption move against the Life Emperor.

To Yi Shuihan's relief, the waves subsided before the second drop of life essence was completely consumed.

"Life Source Liquid, damned Life Emperor."

Wu Ye stared at Yi Shuihan with a gloomy expression. Using the Waves technique was a great drain on him, as this move was extremely powerful and could easily kill even a Great Dao Emperor. This was evident from the fact that this move caused Yi Shuihan to consume two drops of Life Essence Liquid.
