greedily absorbed the power of the dragon and lion that had been activated within him. The blow from Tieji Back Demon Cat was indeed a serious threat, equivalent to a casual strike from a tenth-order...And this self-proclaimed Extreme Cloud Demon Lord, a demonized avatar who came from afar, must inevitably leave a portion of the demonic army to guard their territory. Under these circumstances, its water and fire realm naturally wouldn't fear the opponent at all. However, after just a few exchanges, the Waterfire Mantis King discovered that this self-proclaimed Extreme Cloud Demon Lord was actually stronger than what the Ice Elephant had said. Not only was the density of demonic energy within the opponent, but even in their every move, the fierce demonic aura already far exceeded that of an ordinary Xuanxian-level demon beast.
In fact, it wasn't just the Shuihuo Mantang Wang who was surprised. Even the Shui Ni Yao beside the demonized avatar, even though it had been with the demonized avatar for a while, couldn't hide the surprise in its heart. The Shui Ni Yao was now one of the capable generals under the demonized avatar, and also possessed the strength of a Xuan Xian. However, even among creatures of the Xuan Xian level, there were huge differences in strength and status. At this time, there were three powerful figures similar to the Shui Ni Yao under the command of the demonized avatar, and more than ten slightly weaker ones. They had all been subdued by the demonized avatar over this period of time. However, as the territory of the demonized avatar gradually expanded, and the places they needed to defend increased, it was impossible to deploy all of them on the battlefield at once. If their nest were raided, it would be too late to regret it.
These demons followed the demonized avatars for a relatively short time, but most were already deeply convinced by them. Besides the demonized avatar's overwhelming strength, what truly impressed powerful creatures like Shui Ni and others was the demonized avatar's extraordinary insight. Their understanding of techniques could offer invaluable guidance to these demons with just a few words.
For the demon army, demonic avatars can also be trained in different formations together, which is something that a scattered force like the Shui Ni demon clan cannot achieve.
If not for the limited time given for battle formations, and the demon army unable to fully unleash its true combat prowess, judging by this mantis army before us, they wouldn't even stand a chance against the demon army's frontal assault. Even if they were at a clear numerical disadvantage, crushing the opposing demon army would be child's play.

Moreover, the demonized avatar can also bestow different formations to different demonic armies. This is extremely rare for most Xuanxian-level monsters, usually only those very large forces can cultivate such existences as demonized avatars.
This is also the reason why the demonized clone could gather such a force in a short period of time. In short, the Water Silkworm Demon was extremely respectful, even with a hint of awe, towards Lu Xiaoteng's demonized clone. At this time, with the demonized clone taking the field personally, the Water Silkworm Demon was responsible for issuing commands to the demon army. Even though both sides had already clashed, part of the demon army under the demonized clone was still hidden in the clouds and mist and had not been deployed to the battlefield.
At this time, the Shuihuo Manwang's scythe-like arms slashed forward. With a clang, the elongated blade struck its pair of forearms. The Shuihuo Manwang's body violently retreated hundreds of miles, and at the same time, pale blue and crimson colors surged frantically from within its body, turning the space before it into a realm of water and fire intertwined. The two energies of water and fire constantly eroded outwards, as if about to engulf the entire area of thousands of miles around.

Where the blue aura appeared, the trees became greener and seemed to grow larger. However, those with a discerning eye could see that these plants were prematurely exhausting their life force due to some external influence. On the other side, where the crimson aura intertwined, the trees on the ground withered and drooped, emitting waves of heat as if being roasted.
"Without even mastering a single power, you dare to dream of water and fire merging Your abilities are insufficient for your ambitions. Just watch as I shatter them with a single blow." Lu Xiaottian's demonic transformation split into a cold rebuke, the demonic aura around him condensing into tangible substance. His azure battle armor fluttered, and his slender demon sword merely slashed through the void. In an instant, its razor-sharp blade plunged into the domain of water and fire, seemingly unaffected by the opponent's influence. With this single strike, he almost cleaved their water and fire domain in half.
Shuihuo Tangwang was startled, the blade's glow turning in an instant to once again strike at his face. Just like last time. Shuihuo Tangwang hastily raised his defense again, his body being jolted back hundreds of miles yet again.
After Lu Xiaoxian transformed, his projection avatar didn't give the opponent any chance to breathe. After dozens of exchanges, the two had already fought thousands of miles. Shuihuo Manting Wang's pair of sickle-like forearms went numb.
At this time, both parties were above a lake. The water in the lake was surging wildly. The demonic avatar slashed down as before, and instantly two jets of red and blue water rose from the lake below. Two giant mantises shot out from the water jets and rushed towards Lu Xiaoteng's demonized projection avatar.
The demonized avatar smirked, a cruel smile playing on its lips. Besides being eroded by the extreme demonic aura of Yùnyún Yāoshà, causing some changes in this demonized form, making it more bloodthirsty and ruthless, its inherent cautious and meticulous nature didn't change much. During the fight with the Water-Fire Praying Mantis King just now, it felt that the opponent was intentionally or unintentionally retreating in this direction.
The Waterfire Praying Mantis King boasts incredible defenses, especially its scythe-like arms that have been honed on the Waterfire Demon Emperor Stone for years, making them incredibly tough and impervious to ordinary demon weaponry. However, from the perspective of a transformed avatar, the Waterfire Praying Mantis King's defenses are formidable but not impenetrable. Its true strength lies in fusing the two contrasting forces of water and fire within its body, resulting in an explosive power far surpassing that of ordinary demons.
This Water-Fire Praying Mantis King sits atop the Water-Fire Demon Emperor Stone. Lu Xia Tian's demonized avatar wants to inherit many of Lu Xia Tian's original skills and forge his own path in this demonic realm. The Extreme Demon Cloud Evil within the Extreme Cloud Demon Cave is extremely formidable, but the demonized avatar intends to try if he can gain extra benefits from the Water-Fire Demon Emperor Stone. This Water-Fire Praying Mantis King has honed its physical body to such solidity thanks to the Water-Fire Demon Emperor Stone's influence.
The Demonic Avatar, after all, is merely a projection of Lu Xia Tian's true self. Its advantage lies in inheriting the extraordinary vision and numerous powerful techniques of the main body. However, its shortcomings are also extremely obvious. As a projection, its current demonic form is not very solid. Even after absorbing enough Extreme Demon Cloud煞, every time it fights an enemy, the Demonic Avatar has to return to the Extreme Cloud Demon Cave to stabilize its form again. If it could break free from this constraint, then the Demonic Avatar would truly have a much wider range of movement.
After a fierce battle with the Water-Fire Mantis King, he saw that the demonic doppelganger's skills were extraordinary. He lured it in this direction, but the demonic doppelganger also wanted to constantly push the Water-Fire Mantis King into danger, forcing it to use its last resort. Legend has it that due to the day and night honing by the Water-Fire Mantis King, the accumulated demon energy on the Water-Fire Demon Emperor Stone had formed a Mantis King phantom image, which possessed considerable power. However, it could not stray too far from the Water-Fire Demon Emperor Stone.
