After speaking with the Qi Family, the Manager called ixiu's phone to let her know about the situation.
"Hello?"
"This is the Manager of the Dragon Spiral Mountain. Is this ixiu's phone number?"
"Yes, this is ixiu speaking. Did sothing happen to Yuan?" ixiu quickly asked about Yuan.
"No, I am just calling to let you know that he will be staying at the Qi Family for a little longer than anticipated."
"..."
"I understand… Can I speak to him?" ixiu asked after a mont of silence.
"Unfortunately, he's currently in seclusion, so he will not be able to speak with you."
"W-Wait… What do you an by that? Why is he in seclusion?"
The Manager proceeded to explain the whole situation to ixiu.
"He's going to fight a demon?!" ixiu's anxious voice resounded after hearing everything.
"Not exactly. He's going to exterminate a sealed demon."
"How is that any different?" ixiu frowned.
"Does it really matter? In the end, he agreed to it."
"How long will this take?"
"About a week," said the Manager.
"I understand… I will tell the others. Just make sure he's safe…"
"As much as I hate that idea, it is my job as the Manager of the Dragon Spiral Mountain to keep its residents safe… No matter how much I dislike that resident."
Once the connection stopped, ixiu went to notify the others about the situation while the Manager and the Qi Family waited for Yuan to erge from his seclusion.
A week passed by in a flash, and during this ti, the island shook three more tis.
"Is he coming out of his seclusion anyti soon? It's already been a week, and the demon is showing signs of unsealing." Qi Fang complained as she stood in front of Yuan's immortal cave with the others.
"You know what? I think we should go inside and see what the hell is taking him so long! We don't have any more ti!"
Just as Qi Fang began approaching the immortal cave, a figure erged from the cave entrance.
"Took you long enough! I sincerely hope that you're fully prepared! It's been a week!" Qi Fang said to Yuan, who just finished his seclusion.
"Sorry, it took longer than expected." Yuan said.
Since the Heaven Splitting Sword Strike is actually part of another Divine-rank technique, he had to improve his Heaven's Secret Art first, which is harder than learning even an Ancient-rank technique.
"I am ready to kill the demon. Let's go." Yuan then said.
Soti later, they arrived at the tree on the hill.
"So… How are you going to exterminate it?" Qi Man asked once they were standing in front of the sealed demon that had cracks appearing all over its body.
"I am going to destroy it using my technique."
"Technique? A demon sealing technique?"
"No, it's a powerful technique that can obliterate everything in its path. I have killed a demon before using this technique." Yuan said.
"Stay back. I don't want anybody to be caught up in the blast."
Once everybody was at a safe distance, Yuan summoned the Empyrean Overlord and started gathering all of the spiritual energy in the air.
"What the heck is he doing…?" Qi Fang mumbled in a low voice.
"I don't know, but whatever he's doing, it's going to be big and powerful…" The Manager said in a dazed voice.
She has never seen such a massive amount of spiritual energy gathered in one spot before.
Yuan took his ti gathering as much spiritual energy as he could since he didn't want to take any chances with this bulky demon.
While Yuan gathered his strength, the island began shaking again.
"The demon… It's pulsating with light…" Qi Huan pointed at the demon in the tree that was glowing red in a heartbeat rhythm.
This is the closest they have seen a demon being unsealed, and they were getting goosebumps all over their bodies.
A few minutes later, Yuan was finally finished with charging his strike.
After taking a deep breath, Yuan swung his sword and released all of the spiritual energies that he had gathered, shooting a bright beam of light at the sealed demon.
BOOM!
The beam consud the entire tree and most of the hill, instantly evaporating it.
This shocked the Qi Family and the Manager, as they have never seen anything this destructive before.
"It's just like a nuclear weapon…" Qi Man mumbled in a dazed voice.
Yuan fell to his knees and began gasping for air after releasing the Heaven Splitting Sword Strike, feeling as though half of his energy had been drained from that one attack.
However, before he could even catch his breath, he suddenly heard Qi Fang's screaming voice, "Yuan! In front of you!"
Yuan imdiately used his divine sense to look at the scene before him, and to his absolute shock and horror, there was a glob of red slimy substance on the ground that was moving around as though it was alive.
'I-I didn't manage to kill it? Did I not use enough spiritual energy? No… I used even more than the last ti! This demon must be far stronger than the one in the Mystic Realm!'
Yuan turned to look at the Qi Family and shouted at them, "Leave this place imdiately! I will handle the demon!"
"A-Are you sure?! We can assist you!" Qi Fang said out loud.
"I am sure! Just leave! I will handle it! Trust !"
Qi Fang looked at the others and they all nodded at each other before leaving the place to alert the others.
Shortly after the others left, the red substance started forming into a large, bulky figure, and in just a few monts, it'd managed to completely recover, becoming a full demon again.
It silently stared at Yuan with a calm expression for a mont before showing an ugly smile on its face, "That hurt like hell, human.. You're going to pay for waking this Supre One up in such a rude fashion."
