I manage female characters in all the heavens.

Suddenly, Yingri felt that the originally smooth process of devouring had become much more difficult and slow.

"You must be reluctant to give up this peerless medicine of mine, right? I can hold you off for a whole day!" Yan Nanqi's momentum was overwhelming.

Her gaze darkened, and she sneered, "So that's what you were planning. Seeing that defeat was inevitable, you deliberately let me devour you to buy time for the others to escape?"

"Yan Nantian, I must say, you are great, but in the end, even supernatural powers cannot overcome fate. You underestimated me and overestimated yourself."

Suddenly, a spiraling energy field swept into Yan Nantian's body, disrupting his forced operation of the Wedding Dress Divine Skill and allowing the Absorption Technique to absorb energy smoothly once again.

Although it didn't recover as quickly as it did at the beginning, let alone a whole day, even the time it takes for an incense stick to burn would be enough for her to devour Yan Nantian completely.

"No!" Yan Nantian's eyes were bloodshot, but he was powerless to stop everything he had lost so quickly.

"Alas... it has come to this." An old voice rang out, and then a withered hand landed on Yan Nantian's shoulder, actively channeling its power into his body to fight against Ying Ri's Absorption Technique together.

This gave Yan Nantian a chance to catch his breath and allow him to circulate his profound energy to resist the suction force once more.

"Let's make this clear first: if you dare to abandon your devouring efforts to chase after the army, I will immediately commit suicide. If I want to die, no matter how strong you are, you can't stop me," Xie Guiyuan said to Yingri.

Yingri looked at Xie Guiyuan, who had come to help at the cost of his life, and said coldly, "Old man, you're not afraid of death, you've come here to commit suicide."

Xie Guiyuan had already been absorbed by the spreading Absorption Technique and had no chance of escaping.

But he didn't take it to heart, and instead chuckled: "I don't have much time left to live anyway, so why not give you all my resources? I may not be some kind of peerless elixir, but I should be pretty good, right? Are you willing to just kill me or watch me commit suicide?"

Yingri remained silent. Undoubtedly, her purpose had been seen through by the other party. They knew that she couldn't bear to kill him directly and focus on devouring Yan Nantian, nor could she ignore everything and chase after the army, leaving him to commit suicide.

But what's the point? How much more of her time would one more Xie Guiyuan waste?

“A futile struggle. If you can hold out for even a quarter of an hour longer, I’ll consider you strong,” Yingri sneered.

"What if I join you?" "Me too!" "Me too!"

The next moment, Lu Zhongyuan, Du Sha, Jin Yuanxing, Bai Shanjun, Murong Zheng and the other five also put their hands over, and took the initiative to be absorbed into the absorption technique.

Their arrival helped Yan Nantian share more of the pressure, slowing down the devouring of the Sun Demon.

"You're courting death!" Lord Yingri finally snapped.

They were just waiting for her to devour Yan Nantian before she could devour them one by one. Instead, they came to their deaths and cause her trouble. How could they face the effort she had put into nurturing them?!

Seeing that everyone else had gone up, Xiaoyuer and Murong Jiu also made up their minds and prepared to go up as well.

But Wei Wuyuan suddenly made a move and threw the two of them far away.

His figure was still short, but his back now appeared unusually tall.

"You two young people have unlimited potential. You shouldn't be wasted here. The future of the martial world depends on you." Wei Wuyuan's voice carried far and wide.

To everyone's astonishment, Wei Wuyuan also reached out and joined the ranks of those who risked their lives to buy time.

Wei Wuyuan, who was treacherous and despicable and spent his whole life hiding in the gutter, ultimately chose glory.

I wonder what Wei Wuya's expression would be if he had seen Wei Wuya's current behavior two months ago, when he spread rumors about Ying Ri and planned to use the martial arts world to help him win the heart of the beauty.

He probably wouldn't admit it was him, but there's no doubt it was.

He changed so much in just two months that even he himself did not expect it.

You were the one who started spreading the rumor that Yingri was going to destroy the world, but now that it seems like Yingri really can destroy the world, you're unhappy about it.

The suction force swept over my entire body, and the feeling of everything being pulled away was extremely painful.

But Wei Wuyuan laughed, shouting, "Golden Ape Star, White Mountain Lord, you old ghosts have all come up, how could I back down?"

"I, Wei Wuyuan, am the true leader of the twelve constellations!"

He forced himself to turn his head and look at the group of top-tier experts who were standing there dumbfounded, and roared:

"Protect the young people, escape, escape as far as possible! The future of the martial arts world is in your hands!!"

Everyone was in tears. Does the martial arts world really have a future?

"Young people, let's go! We old folks will risk our lives to fight for your future!"

Another senior master stepped forward and offered his hand.

"The future depends on you."

"Live on with our hope."

"Even if the world is overrun by demons, never lose the will to resist!"

More and more veterans stepped forward and placed their hands on the young man's, risking their lives to buy him time to escape.

Even the fleeing crowd stopped, turned around and stared blankly at the scene, tears streaming down their faces. Unconsciously, a belief and spirit were born and grew stronger in their hearts.

Suddenly, Yan Nantian spoke again:

"From today onwards, Xiaoyuer will be the leader of the alliance, and Murong Jiu will be the deputy leader. You two must lead everyone to safety, preserve your lives, and leave behind seeds for the martial world!"

Lu Zhongyuan also spoke up: "Let's go, we can't hold out much longer!"

Xie Guiyuan laughed loudly: "Divine Sword Manor, we would rather break than bend, but a strategic retreat is not bending. Get out of here!"

"This is the battlefield of our older generation. The younger generation has no right to set foot here. Get out of here!" Wei Wuyuan roared.

Get lost, don't let me die for nothing!

Wipe away your tears and run!

"Go!"

"..."

Little Fish was trembling all over, and tears soaked his face.

"Uncle Yan, Senior Xie, Uncle Lu, Sect Leader Wei, Master Du, Manor Lord Murong..." He recited the names of those seniors who had risked their lives, his heart heavy with grief.

“Father…” Murong Jiu was also in tears, looking at Murong Zheng.

But neither of them showed any intention of stepping forward. They quickly wiped away their tears and, in their capacity as leader and deputy leader, ordered the alliance to retreat with all their might!

Their lives were no longer their own; they carried the hopes of their predecessors who had risked their lives, and bore the life, death, honor, and disgrace of tens of thousands of people in the alliance. There was no room for them to act recklessly.

Similarly, no one else did either.

An atmosphere of tragic grief permeated the entire Demon Extermination Alliance. Turning their sorrow into motivation, they withdrew from the battlefield at top speed, scattering in different directions to avoid being caught and wiped out by the demons.

Seeing that the leeks she had cultivated for two months were about to run away, Yingri was furious. But the most valuable part of the leeks was right there. Once she relaxed her suction, they would commit suicide on the spot, causing her to lose a huge amount of money.

Whether or not to give up these few dozen high-quality韭菜 (a metaphor for easily exploited investors) or even a peerless medicine for the sake of tens of thousands of low-quality韭菜 is not even worth considering.

The Demon Lord Ying Ri coldly watched tens of thousands of members of the Demon Extermination Alliance flee, showing no intention of giving chase. He used his full power to activate the Absorption Technique, trying to devour Yan Nantian and the others as quickly as possible.

Of course, Yan Nantian and the others also fought back fiercely. Even though the pain of being devoured made their souls tremble, they still had no idea of ​​giving up and ending it all. They fought Ying Ri to the very end.

Even the Demon King couldn't help but admire their spirit; this was truly a shining moment for humanity.

Lianxing and Jiang Yuyan flew to her side and asked if she needed their help to intercept the Demon Extermination Alliance.

Lord Yingri sighed and refused them, telling them to just watch.

Although Lianxing and Jiang Yuyan are unparalleled masters, how many people can they stop from escaping without killing them?

A hundred or two hundred would be the maximum; it's just a drop in the ocean.

Since Yan Nantian and the others have risked their lives to create this situation, out of admiration for them and out of the little affection we still have for the characters in the original story, let's give them a chance.

"Let me see if your so-called future can truly bring order to the world and remove the black hand that shrouds the sky and the universe," Lord Yingri said calmly.

Yan Nantian retorted, not to be outdone: "I'll definitely give you a big surprise!"

Two hours later, Yan Nantian and the others had all turned into dried corpses.

Feeling the nine small dantians within his body shining brightly in his perception, and the abundant true energy filling them, Lord Yingri was very satisfied.

The small dantian condensed from Yan Nantian's blood and flesh essence was indeed of higher quality than the recorded Heavenly Frost Sun-Swallowing Technique, and its capacity reached about 0.55 times that of a true dantian.

The difference of 0.05 times may seem small, but it represents the difference between the limit and the non-limit, and cannot be measured by data.

This is something that will accompany her throughout her martial arts career, so it's only natural that she strives for its best and most perfect form.

Now, the combined capacity of her true dantian and her small dantian is exactly six times that of her dantian.

She had a vague feeling that this was the limit of her small dantian; even if she absorbed higher quality blood and flesh essence, she would not be able to condense a higher quality small dantian.

At the same time, her physical body also reached its limit, and she could no longer improve by absorbing the essence of low-quality martial artists' flesh and blood.

She can now swing one arm with the force of three thousand jin, which is pure physical strength, and is simply astonishing in the world of martial arts.

Of course, if this were placed in a fantasy world like Perfect World, it wouldn't even qualify as the first cultivation realm, the Blood Moving Realm.

Having reached their limits in terms of skill and physical strength, a group of experts wasted much of their blood essence, vital energy, and power.

However, there are limits to the improvement of her skills and physical body, but she has almost no knowledge or insights at the spiritual level. She accepts everything that comes her way and absorbs it all.

In particular, the martial arts knowledge accumulated by masters such as Yan Nantian, Lu Zhongyuan, Xie Guiyuan, and Wei Wuya greatly benefited her, and her martial arts foundation soared once again.

Once she has digested what she has gained this time, she will surely be able to create a new technique that combines the Mingyu Skill and the Wedding Dress Divine Skill, and forge a path that surpasses the current limits of the world on her own.

This will greatly benefit her future cultivation.

Chapter 138 Unstoppable Force, Demonic Body, Buddha's Heart, Six Absolute True Skills

Having just absorbed the power and martial arts insights of Yan Nantian and the others, "Tie Xinlan" stood on the battlefield strewn with corpses, licking her lips with lingering satisfaction.

She decimated the 60,000-strong demon-slaying army, with countless soldiers fleeing in disarray.

Yan Nantian, Lu Zhongyuan, Xie Guiyuan, Wei Wuya... these renowned names in the martial arts world have now become a source of nourishment for her astonishing martial arts skills.

She felt the surging true energy within her body, and even faintly touched the edge of a higher level.

"What a pity..." She sighed as she looked at the figures fleeing in panic in the distance. "They ran so fast. I hadn't had my fill of fun yet."

Lianxing and Jiang Yuyan flew over from a distance and landed beside her.

"Lord Yingri, are you alright?" Jiang Yuyan asked with concern.

"What could possibly happen to me?" Lord Yingri rolled his eyes. "Even if something does happen, it would be a good thing."

Lianxing smiled slightly but did not reply.

Jiang Yuyan was even more direct: "Lord Yingri's martial arts are unparalleled and invincible, and his literary and martial virtues will unite the world!"

"Not bad, not bad, Yu Yan speaks very well!" Lord Ying Ri nodded in satisfaction. "Let's go back to the city and rest. Let's see if any more fools will come knocking on our door."
