It turns out I'm a second-generation demon.

Chapter 767 The Li Family Has a Daughter

"Peerless Warrior, how much longer can you hold your breath?"

In the pitch-black depths of the sea, under Dorgon's manipulation, it seemed as if the entire power of the ocean was pressing down on Great-Grandma.

Even at the pinnacle of the ultimate path, under such terrifying pressure, one still has to endure the blows of a master of the same realm. Even a god descending to earth couldn't reverse the situation.

Dorgon stomped his great-grandmother onto the muddy seabed, grabbed her left arm, let out a deep roar, and tore her apart with force.

This little hand, which Li Xianyu had held countless times, has left its owner.

The blood, fresh and eager, mingled with the murky, stagnant water, creating a smudged effect.

Grandma's eyes widened suddenly, and her dazed state of mind cleared up a bit.

The sudden surge of energy shook Dorgon away.

Compared to Dorgon's three-meter-tall frame, the 1.6-meter-tall great-grandmother was petite and delicate. Yet, despite her small stature, she withstood the immense pressure exerted upon her by the vast ocean and straightened her back inch by inch.

Grandma was bleeding from all seven orifices, and the flesh in her wounds was too weak to move, as if she was exhausted and unable to heal.

"For 150 years, the Bloodline Realm has been saying that you are an unparalleled warrior, but who knows that your unparalleled warrior is nothing more than a product of my experiments?" Dorgon walked slowly across the seawater.

"We're both at the pinnacle of the martial arts world, how can you possibly fight me?"

"How can you fight me in this vast ocean? Unrivaled warrior, your arrogance and blindness are your fatal flaws."

The two men simultaneously assumed a fighting stance and raised their fists.

boom!

A fair and delicate fist pierced through Dorgon's chest, while a large fist covered in scales also pierced through the chest of the great-grandmother.

At the same time, step back and raise your fist.

They pierced each other's bodies once again.

"How about it? Unprecedented in history?" Dorgon, unconcerned about his injuries, laughed contemptuously: "The so-called peerless battle spirit is nothing more than a product of my occasional inspiration."

"I helped you reach the pinnacle of the ultimate path, you should be grateful, but instead you repay kindness with enmity and want to seek revenge for the extermination of your entire family."

"Who do you think you are, acting like someone important?"

The great-grandmother's beautiful face contorted in a grimace as she dragged her weary body and threw a punch.

Unexpectedly, this time, Dorgon did not exchange punches with her.

puff....

The dull thud of a sword piercing the chest.

A sword, neither iron nor jade, was stuck in the great-grandmother's chest.

The toxin spread, and the wound quickly turned purple.

"Peerless Battle Spirit, the outcome is decided." Dorgon smiled. Dealing with this woman was much easier than dealing with the Phoenix. When fighting the Phoenix, he had to be careful and cautious, and could not reveal his trump card.

For the Peerless Battle Soul, it's easy to find an opportunity.

"Tsk, even if I don't use the Kusanagi Sword, you won't be able to leave this seabed. But killing you cleanly would be too easy for you."

"I will kill you with the Kusanagi Sword, and revel in your suffering before death. It will be a beautiful memory I can cherish for many years to come..." Dorgon frowned, staring at the wound corroded by the poison:

"Aren't you in pain?"

Grandma's face remained calm throughout; if it weren't for the murderous intent emanating from her eyes, Dorgon would have almost thought she was dead.

"Back then, I volunteered to become a peerless warrior, only to have my entire family executed. When I awoke, the Qing Dynasty had ended," my great-grandmother whispered.

Do you know how long I've been holding this in?

"So what?" Dorgon gripped the hilt of his sword and twisted it forcefully.

Grandma frowned, then reached out and grasped the sword: "Dorgon, everyone knows about the Peerless Warrior, but do you know...?"

"Li Ran, the eldest daughter of the Li family!"

Click!

With a crisp, clear sound, Dorgon's pupils dilated rapidly; the Kusanagi sword... shattered.

It was actually crushed by the Peerless Battle Spirit with a single hand.

In the dark depths of the sea, crimson pupils pierce through the vast ocean, pierce the surface, and soar into the sky.

An indescribable power was born from this body riddled with holes, as if it appeared out of thin air, or as if it had been suppressed for more than a hundred years and could finally be released without restraint.

Thunder rumbled, but this time it wasn't a volcanic eruption or the intense heat boiling the seawater; rather, it was the vapor rising from the vast ocean.

Dorgon suddenly realized that his connection with the ocean had been severed, and he was surrounded by a vacuum.

This woman used her qi to push away the seawater.

Grandma gripped Dorgon's neck with one arm, her pupils now glowing with pure bloodlust.

"Why would I need a sword of qi to kill you?"

It was like magma that had been compressed in the earth's crust for tens of millions of years erupting, bursting forth with power surpassing the pinnacle of the ultimate path.

Dorgon's body melted away like a snowball, his head and body disintegrating. The remains of the ancient demon were forcibly turned into ashes by this power that surpassed the pinnacle of the ultimate path.

The sea!

boom!

It was as if a nuclear bomb had exploded on the seabed, blasting tens of millions of tons of seawater into the sky. New York City, shrouded in smoke, was hit by torrential rain.

Another tsunami struck, turning the city's coastal areas into a vast expanse of water.

......

The rain poured down, and the waves crashed.

Li Xianyu walked on the waves, his whole body soaked.

He walked for a while in the dark, churning waves until a girl with a severed arm emerged from the boiling surface of the sea.

She was also soaked to the bone, her hair clinging to her face.

She looked around anxiously on the sea, but when she saw Li Xianyu, she calmed down.

He staggered forward to meet them.

Li Xianyu was somewhat dazed. At this moment, it was as if time had turned back, and he saw the charming girl who had awakened from the Black Water Spirit Pearl.

"Dorgon is dead, that's all!" Great-Grandma smiled sweetly, pursed her lips, and her eyes sparkled like a little girl asking for praise.

"That's really impressive," he said.

Grandma's eyes crinkled into crescent moons as she nodded, "Grandma has never had such a satisfying fight in her entire life. It was so exhilarating, hahaha."

She stumbled, as if she had lost all her strength, and fell into Li Xianyu's arms.

Her once rosy lips had lost their color, and she trembled all over: "Li Xianyu, hug me, hug me..."

"Mmm." Li Xianyu hugged her tightly. "I'm sorry I'm late."

Grandma shook her head: "In the past, I felt that life was really boring. I wondered when this annoying life as a guardian spirit would end. But unfortunately, I am invincible. No one can kill me."

"Then, I met you. I stopped wanting to die; I wanted to stay by your side forever... Fate just loves to play tricks on people like that."

"Salted Fish, hold me tight, I'm so cold... Thank you, thank you for helping me find meaning in life again."

"I, I..." she mustered her courage and said, "I love you."

A night wind blew by, and her body disintegrated in the wind, like dust collapsing with a crash, carried away by the wind to a distant place, to another world.

Li Xianyu slowly loosened his tightly clenched left hand, and the black powder drifted away with the wind.

The Dragon Balls were, from beginning to end, magical artifacts that imprisoned and stabilized her.

.....

Li Xianyu:

By the time you read this letter, I may have already perished. Death is not unfamiliar to me. Over the long years, I have long been accustomed to slumber and awakening.

This time might be different; someone will replace me. But it will only be a longer slumber.

I was born in ancient times, and I have long been weary of this dull life. Immortality is a beautiful curse; it represents eternal solitude. Either become indifferent in solitude, or self-destruct in solitude.

I believe that the Warriors of the Ages can understand me to some extent.

Are you wondering why, even though we're all rulers, I was able to kill eight rulers, even though my power isn't that exaggerated?

Yes, because, like you, I used the power of the fruit to travel back in time.

I forcibly changed my fate, the fate of being besieged and killed by the eight rulers. But I still did not kill them. After many years, they escaped from the Pantheon and began to plot against the fruit and against me.

I encountered an accident while consuming the fruit, and perished once, forcing me to be reborn anew.

I schemed and plotted to seize the fruit, yearning for transcendence, yet after endless years, I am still me, and the fruit remains the object of contention. I have become the target of everyone's scorn.

Then I realized that those who manipulate fate will also be manipulated by fate.

This is my destiny.

Furthermore, the fruit cannot change commands, nor can it resurrect beings that have perished in the river of time. Its true function is to transcend time and this world, taking you to a higher dimension.

Going back in time is just one of its uses.

I'm sorry, I lied to you because of my own selfish motives.

Even though I know that fate cannot be changed, I still want to take a gamble, to defeat the enemy, to share the fruits with you, and to transcend together.

So, in order to prevent you from going back in time, and for the sake of the overall victory, I lied to you and said that the fruit could save them.

I know you won't forgive me, and in the end, you'll abandon me, but I still can't let go of that.

And when you open this letter and learn these truths, it proves that I have already fallen.

Everything is predetermined; this is destiny.

When you step onto the ultimate path, that's the moment the fruit ripens. You will transcend and leave this world. We will never meet again in this lifetime.

"Li Yihan, Last Words!"
