After a fierce battle, Ming Qi realized that while the Outer Demon God possessed formidable defense, his offensive prowess wasn't particularly strong. He was primarily defensive. Otherwise, his earlier barrage of arrows wouldn't have merely broken through one layer of his protective shield, but directly pierced through two layers.
A single attack of the Taixu Black and White Dragon consumed 60% of Ming Qi's divine power, essentially equivalent to the combined power of six layers of Nirvana Blade.
The massive black and white dragon soared through the air, charging at the Outer Demon God at lightning speed at Ming Qi's command. Meanwhile, the Outer Demon God's countless arms were once again condensing into countless sharp blades. He had only previously broken through one of Ming Qi's defenses, which infuriated him immensely.
Just as the Outer Demon God was gathering his strength, he suddenly felt an unprecedented pressure bearing down on him. His massive body abruptly flashed, abruptly vanishing from its previous position. The next moment, he was several miles away.
The moment Ming Qi saw the Outer Demon God evade through the void, he immediately commanded the Black and White Dragon in his mind. The Black and White Dragon moved with incredible speed, flickering through the void almost simultaneously with the Outer Demon God, appearing behind him in the blink of an eye.
"Huh? How is that possible!"
The Outer Demon God was shocked to see the black and white dragon evading through the void in pursuit. If it had been an enemy, he wouldn't have been surprised, but it was merely a mass of condensed energy!
Without a second thought, the Outer Demon God dodged again.
Seeing the Outer Demon God evade repeatedly, Ming Qi couldn't help but sneer. This guy was clearly afraid. So he commanded the Taixu Black and White Dragon to follow closely behind him, seizing the opportunity to increase his speed to the maximum, charging towards the Outer Demon God.
This time, the Taixu Black and White Dragon was even faster, closing the distance between him and the Outer Demon God.
After dodging twice and failing to escape the strange black and white dragon, the Outer Demon God was stunned and could only quickly gather his strength for protection. He knew it was pointless to dodge any further.
Seeing the Outer Demon God quickly gather his arms to form a shield, Ming Qi, without hesitation, charged forward with the Fire Emperor Sword in hand.
He wanted to create the illusion of a two-pronged attack on the Outer Demon God.
In an instant, the Taixu Black and White Dragon soared above the Outer Demon God's head, roaring with dragon might, and then flashing with black and white as it charged towards the Outer Demon God.
This was Ming Qi's first time using the Taixu Black and White Dragon, and even he himself couldn't fully anticipate its power. So, to be on the safe side, he followed up with a Fire God Seal after reaching a hundred meters in front of the Outer Demon God.
What he needed to do now was to slay the Outer Demon God with a thunderous blow!
Bang!
The Taixu Black and White Dragon and the Fire God Seal arrived one after another, their immense power pouring forth, instantly engulfing the monstrous form of the Outer Devil. Ming Qi couldn't even discern the Outer Devil's shadow; all he could see was a ball of swirling and exploding energy.
The intermittent roars of the Outer Devil's fury betrayed his precarious situation.
Ming Qi wouldn't give the Outer Devil any respite. The Book of Life and Death flashed in his hand once more, and the blade of annihilation quickly gathered. With his divine power at less than 40%, he resolutely chose to deliver a final blow of annihilation.
The blade of annihilation whistled as it pierced the ball of energy, and the deafening crackle brought a sense of relief to Ming Qi.
A short while later, the energy dissipated, and Ming Qi was horrified to discover that the Outer Devil had vanished. At the core of the energy explosion, a dark golden square crystal hovered. Within this dark golden crystal, a pristine scroll lay!
Axis of the World!
Upon seeing the World Axis, Ming Qi knew the Outer Demon God was doomed, so he leaped forward and grabbed the square crystal.
As soon as he grasped the crystal, Ming Qi sensed something strange. This wasn't his first time holding a World Axis; he knew the feeling of one well. The object he held was clearly the World Axis, but the sensation was completely different!
"What's going on?"
Just as Ming Qi was about to examine it more closely, he noticed hundreds of indigenous giants surging down from below, each one madly charging towards him.
Their god had been slain, and it looked like these indigenous people were going mad!
Ming Qi naturally didn't want to tangle with them. He simply vanished into the void, appearing thousands of miles away in no time.
After shaking off the annoying group of natives, Ming Qi continued to study the square crystal.
The square crystal bore no trace of the Outer Devil's aura, indicating it was completely dead. However, Ming Qi was surprised to find no trace of the World Axis either. Instead, it exuded a strange aura he had never encountered before.
This aura was demonic yet not demonic, violent yet righteous, and possessed a sense of ancient vicissitudes.
Unable to discern the solution, Ming Qi immediately channeled his divine power to attempt to shatter the crystal. However, despite his influx of divine power, the crystal showed no sign of shattering.
"Strange!"
Ming Qi tossed and turned the crystal, ultimately unable to discern the solution.
"Forget it, just refine it!"
Finally, Ming Qi gave up the trouble. Regardless of the World Axis, it was there. His goal was to obtain information about the power of the galaxy from it. As long as he refined the crystal, the World Axis would naturally appear.
Thinking of this, Ming Qi entered the Divine Diagram space and activated the Eight Diagrams Seal to refine the square crystal.
Ming Qi was once again surprised by how quickly the square crystal was refined, completing its entirety in less than half a day. Even more astonishing, as the square crystal vanished, so too did the world axis within it!
As soon as the refining was complete, Ming Qi sensed a desolate aura of ancient gods and demons emanating from his divine power source. Furthermore, he could clearly sense an indescribable presence reaching far into the void beyond.
Ming Qi was first surprised, then delighted. Although he didn't know where that ineffable presence pointed, he was certain that at its end, the Milky Way Power lay!
After a brief moment of joy, Ming Qi began to analyze the newly revealed demonic energy.
A moment later, Ming Qi was once again filled with shock.
"Eternal Demon Seed!"
The World Axis possesses a mystical, eternal energy, while the Outer Demon God has unleashed his demonic nature to its fullest potential. This square crystal represents the Outer Demon God's complete fusion of his essence with the World Axis through unknown means, effectively devouring the World Axis! The resulting fusion of these two powers creates a unique power: the Eternal Demon Seed.
Ming Qi has now refined the Outer Demon God's Eternal Demon Seed, effectively refining the World Axis. That indescribable, clear feeling is the World Axis sensing the location of the galactic force.
"This way, I won't have to travel to the Dark Side for now."
Ming Qi calculated, and simultaneously, through the medium left outside the Curved Realm, he tore through space and stepped into the teleportation channel.
It had taken a full hundred years to enter the Curved Realm, and now it would likely take another hundred years to leave. Thinking about how over two hundred years had already passed without him noticing, Ming Qi felt a surge of emotion.
