Chapter 251 The Anomalous Human
.
As the battle between the demon and the human began, another spirit realm level entity finally reached the demon continent.
Arriving there, the green-haired woman, now with an angry expression, slightly twisted her face while examining the corrupted land of this continent.
'Why is this air so impure?' she thought, instinctively wrapping her nose in a thin layer of wood-element spiritual energy.
She didn't know what this place was, but she didn't like it at all.
"That despicable man, how could he abandon a woman in distress and leave as if nothing had happened?" the green-haired woman muttered angrily, looking forward to teaching Ethan a lesson as soon as she met him.
But just as this thought crossed her mind, her attention shifted to various energy fluctuations emanating from a spot not far from her location.
'Hm? It seems like someone is fighting down there,' she thought, deciding to take a look.
She believed that she might also encounter that man there, so she headed in that direction at full speed.
From the energy fluctuations, she could tell that the two beings battling were very strong, likely at her same level.
She knew that the man who had awakened her had a strength similar to hers, so she thought he might be there.
With her speed, which was at the early stage of the spiritual realm, it didn't take her long to reach the battle site.
But just as she was getting closer, her eyes caught something, and she immediately halted her advance, disappearing from her position, only to reappear several miles away.
There, she saw a stunning woman dressed in blue, floating gracefully as she watched in the direction of the battle.
The green-haired woman couldn't help but approach her, saying:
"You're the woman who was with that human, right?" she asked, recalling Bai Yu.
Bai Yu, who had already sensed the presence of the green-haired woman, paid her no attention and continued to gaze ahead.
To the eyes of an ordinary observer, it might seem as if she was staring into the void.
But to the eyes of high-level cultivators, an enormous battle was taking place much farther ahead, one that would shake the hearts of many if they witnessed it.
Ethan had decided to move Bai Yu into his minor dimension, but she had refused, stating that she wanted to watch the battle.
Not wanting to involve her in the crossfire, he had left her at a location far enough from the battle site.
At her current cultivation level, she was just a step below the beings at the early stage of the spiritual realm and would risk severe injuries if she participated in the fight.
Ethan was sure that at her true cultivation level, she could wipe the floor with the demon easily, but for now, her cultivation base was still sealed at the spiritual realm, so he could only leave her in a relatively safe place.
Meanwhile, as the dragon woman ignored the elemental spirit, Ethan and the demon had already been fighting for some time, gradually escalating the intensity of their attacks with every passing second.
Initially, there had been several black figures, but now there were strange, shadow-like creatures surrounding the area, each possessing a level of power similar to that of a being at the early stage of the spiritual realm.
Ethan was initially surprised by this discovery, but he soon realized that summoning these creatures had put a strain on the one who had summoned them.
He could tell that the demon wouldn't be able to sustain their summoning for too long, so he decided to make things as difficult as possible for him.
With a wave of his hand, Ethan conjured several sparks in the air, which quickly multiplied from tens to hundreds, then to thousands.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that these sparks all took the form of blue-colored petals.
The demon, seeing this, suddenly felt a sense of foreboding and murmured:
'Is that... a rare flame?' he thought, but there was no time to confirm, as in the next instant, Ethan unleashed his attack.
The demon wasted no time and condensed his spiritual energy into various symbols in the air, forming seven thick layers of barriers around him.
Ethan, seeing this, smiled as he murmured:
"You'll need something more strong than that to survive this attack."
As if his words had become reality, the petals rained down like thousands of lights upon the demon and his summoned creatures, and as soon as they struck the barrier's surface, they exploded.

BOOOOOOM!
Like a chain reaction, the entire area was instantly illuminated by an intense light as a devastating explosion shook the ground.
Although the explosion was contained within the barrier, the energy fluctuations it caused were enough to damage the surrounding environment.
The ground was leveled, and large cracks began forming on its surface, while the seismic waves generated by the explosion spread far and wide, reaching various parts of the demonic continent and causing chaos everywhere.
While the rest of the continent plunged into chaos, inside the formation, Ethan, who had just unleashed a wave of destruction upon the demon, did not relax.
He raised his right hand to the side, condensing a sword made entirely of pure wood-element spiritual energy.
Without hesitation, he slashed downward, and suddenly, the enormous explosion enveloping the space within the barrier was split in half.
In the space created by the cut, the battered figure of the demon could be seen, who had managed to dodge the blow just in time, but had lost two limbs in the attempt.
Unlike him, however, the creatures he had summoned weren't so lucky.
All those within the trajectory of the attack were hit directly and eliminated on the spot.
That attack carried a potent wood aura, enhanced by Ethan's pure Qi. It had been enough to obliterate the creatures formed from demonic Qi.
Mo Yan, witnessing this scene, was momentarily stunned.
While avoiding damage from the previous attack, his instincts had warned him of grave danger, and without hesitation, he had thrown himself to the side, narrowly avoiding the full brunt of the attack.
He wasn't sure why he felt this sense of mortal danger, but now, seeing his creatures being annihilated, he understood the reason.
"What on earth is that aura?!"
He could sense the strong wood element within it, but that alone wouldn't have been enough to destroy demonic Qi, and he knew it.
Yet he could feel that there was something else in that attack, something that even demonic Qi couldn't withstand.
Watching his subordinates be eliminated and their essence absorbed by this being, Mo Yan had already realized that this human was an anomaly.
At that moment, he had felt Ethan's strength increase significantly, something clearly related to his physique.
After all, special physiques were not uncommon in the mortal or heavenly planes. Even demons could develop certain unique physiques.
But it was one thing to have such a physique; it was entirely another to launch attacks that could eliminate demonic Qi.
In the demon's mind, the level of danger posed by Ethan had risen to an entirely new tier.
