The boundless fist force struck the bone club, rippling outwards. This strike was enough to completely kill the four Great Dao Emperor-level minions who had blocked their way before, yet it was now blocked so easily.

Ordinary punches unleash their full attack power upon contact, with at most a few layers of follow-up force. However, Yi Shuihan's infinite punch power continuously increases after contact, activating the infinite path, resulting in limitless punch power. However, this limitless punch power has lost its due might at this moment.

"What exactly is going on? Does he have the ability to nullify physical attacks, or can he absorb kinetic energy or something?"

Yi Shuihan, refusing to believe in bad luck, intensified the activation of his boundless fist power, but it still had no effect.

Before Yi Shuihan could retract his fist, another bone club instantly formed and stabbed towards him.

Yi Shuihan tried to dodge with his fist, but a terrifying suction force came from the bone club, slowing him down for a moment. In that instant, the newly formed bone club struck his chest.

"Crack!"

Yi Shuihan's sternum was shattered, and he was almost skewered with bone clubs.

"Interesting, it actually withstood it."

A look of surprise flashed across the Albino Demon's eyes as the two bone clubs slowly retracted and re-entered his body.

"It's a transfer! You've transferred my power and then used it against me."

The reason for this conclusion is that when the second bone club struck him, the power increased continuously, just like the infinite fist power, rather than being a one-time burst. Although it is also possible that the Albino Demon possesses a secret technique similar to multiple waves, this possibility is far less likely than the former.

While speaking, Yi Shuihan kept an eye on Bai Huamo. Bai Huamo didn't react at all, but he didn't refute him either.

"You'll find out how it works once you try it out."

Yi Shuihan didn't expect to get answers from the White Demon. This was a battle of life and death, and only a fool would reveal his trump card.

This time, Yi Shuihan did not use unlimited punching power, but only used ordinary punches.

The fist and the bone club collided again, and then the same thing happened again. Another bone club struck him, but it was slightly different from the previous time. Yi Shuihan, who was prepared, caught the other bone club with his other fist.

Yi Shuihan confirmed his guess from the force of the second bone club: the White Demon was indeed using his power to fight back.

Afterwards, Yi Shuihan tested it several more times, and without exception, the power he used was all directed at himself.

"It's a bit troublesome."

This ability to transfer power essentially sealed Yi Shuihan's close-combat abilities.

"If close combat doesn't work, try ranged attacks."

Ranged attacks are not as effective as close-range attacks, and in fact, with preparation, they can unleash greater offensive power. After all, the Albino Demon appears to be unable to move and has not launched an attack even once. It is unclear whether this is due to a lack of ability or some other reason.

"As a demon, it can't possibly still absorb the power of the Dao River, can it?"

Thinking this, Yi Shuihan mobilized his unique Dao River power and condensed it into a giant palm.

To prevent a sudden attack from the Albino Demon, Yi Shuihan was also very careful, so that he would have time to react if the Albino Demon really attacked first.

The slap grew larger and larger, until it was almost completely covering the Albino Demon, then Yi Shuihan controlled the slap and brought it down from top to bottom.

The albino demon seemed truly unable to move, frozen in place as the slaps fell.

The palm landed firmly on the Albino Demon's body, but Yi Shuihan did not smile, because the palm was constantly shrinking. It was not shrinking under his control, but shrinking under the Albino Demon's absorption.

"This can be absorbed?"

The answer was right in front of him; even if Yi Shuihan didn't want to believe it, he couldn't.

Without giving Yi Shuihan any extra time, the albino demon writhed and hundreds of bone clubs detached from its body and shot towards Yi Shuihan.

The familiar aura emanating from the bone club frustrated Yi Shuihan; it was none other than the aura of his own Daohe.

Is it really that invincible?

Yi Shuihan didn't want to believe it, and found it hard to believe. If the White Demon was really that powerful, then the value of him fighting it should far exceed sealing the fluctuations here.

There must be weaknesses. After carefully considering the battle from beginning to end, Yi Shuihan finally came to his own conclusion: perhaps this albino demon's attacks can only be countered by attacks from other creatures. He does not have the ability to attack proactively, which is why he has not joined the battle. If it weren't for this, with his strength, the Merchant Alliance would have been slaughtered long ago.

"Get out of here."

With a casual backhand slap, the demon that had been severely injured by Yi Shuihan was sent flying like a mosquito.

Just as Yi Shuihan was considering whether to simply ignore the albino demon and go directly to help it, a scene that astonished him occurred: the three demons attacked the albino demon simultaneously, with all their might.

Are they all traitors, appearing to be evil but actually evil in disguise?

A flash of inspiration struck Yi Shuihan, and he immediately understood the reason. The Albino Demon had the power of teleportation. They weren't attacking the Albino Demon, but rather recharging it!

明明三个邪魔都是易水寒可以轻易解决的货色，然而当三位邪魔的力量涌入白化魔身体转化出来之后，那爆发出来的力量竟然在易水寒之上，这不是1+1+1而是（1+1）*2。

Yi Shuihan was injured, but only slightly. He was somewhat relieved that it was only a combination of three powers and not a combination of four.

"Then let me cut off your source of power."

While the albino demon cannot be killed, the demons that provide it with the energy to attack are not included in this category.

Yi Shuihan instantly appeared in front of the nearest demon, unleashing boundless fist power. Combined with the system's ability to restrain demons, he killed the demon with a single blow, finally reducing one of the four demons to one.

"The first one, then..."

The second one also did not escape Yi Shuihan's slaughter. When he killed the second one, Yi Shuihan stopped. It was not that he did not want to kill the remaining two demons, but that the two demons directly burned their demonic power to provide energy for the albino demon at the cost of their lives.

The issue now is not killing, but whether we can withstand the next attack from the Albino Demon.

Chapter 1492, The Despicable Treatment

If it were just a desperate attack from a demon burning its demonic power, Yi Shuihan felt he could withstand it. After all, their levels were different. If the levels were similar, Yi Shuihan would be in mortal danger. Right now, a demon's desperate attack would at most have a chance of seriously injuring him. Well, there was a chance, but it was less than 50%.

Without the Albino Demon, even if two or three demons were to risk their lives to attack Yi Shuihan, he would be confident of escaping unscathed. However, with the Albino Demon present, his confidence has been reduced to the minimum. Now, he is not considering escaping unscathed, but rather minimizing the damage. After all, even serious injuries come in many forms: fatal injuries and injuries that still allow one to maintain a certain level of combat power.

In the face of a life-or-death crisis, Yi Shuihan unleashed a small burst of potential, directly and without instruction applying the power of the Infinite Path to defense. As long as he could withstand the first wave of damage, the subsequent aftershocks would be infinitely divided, greatly reducing the damage.

With the Albino Demon's abilities, this attack was exceptionally powerful, far exceeding the sum of its parts. In fact, it was nearly ten times stronger than a single demonic attack.

It appeared to be just a tiny white beam of light, no bigger than a little finger, but the power contained within it was enough to destroy hundreds of great worlds, the kind that had survived seven immeasurable calamities. If it were an ordinary Great Dao Emperor, he could easily kill dozens of them.

With such power, even the Albino Demon was somewhat unable to control it, and the seal even had a brief gap, almost collapsing.

The Albino Demon's originally tightly closed eyes were now half-open, its three pairs of eyes cold and ruthless, piercing through the void as it stared at Yi Shuihan.

As the light faded, Yi Shuihan's figure appeared in the void. At this moment, Yi Shuihan looked extremely disheveled. His fists were nothing but skeletons, with all the flesh gone. His clothes were torn to shreds, his pants had many holes, and his legs were covered in bloody wounds.

"Cough cough..." Yi Shuihan felt weaker than ever before, a hundred times weaker than in his prime, but even so, all Yi Shuihan could see in his eyes was relief that he had finally made it through. "It's too much of a cheat. It's only slightly weaker than the waves of the Five Leaves, and it doesn't last as long as the waves."

When Yi Shuihan first met the Albino Demon, he thought it was inferior to Wu Ye. But now he felt that the Albino Demon was actually no worse than Wu Ye.

"Right now, I estimate my combat strength has fallen to the point where I can't even beat an ordinary Great Dao Emperor. Without the Life Source Liquid, I can basically only watch the show and cheer."

Thinking about his recent experiences, Yi Shuihan couldn't help but smile bitterly. If it weren't for the Life Source Liquid of the Life Emperor, he probably would have died many times over. He was clearly getting stronger and stronger, so why was he becoming more and more dangerous?

He subconsciously wanted to use the Life Source Liquid to recover, but then stopped. He knew that the Life Source Liquid was harmful to Yi Shuihan, and he didn't want to use it unless necessary.

The Life Emperor's life essence was already scarce, only a dozen drops. He couldn't possibly have produced 20 drops before. Those 20 drops were the Life Emperor's life essence restored by severing his cultivation. He also gave a few drops to Yi Shuihan on the way. Now Yi Shuihan has 6 drops of life essence left.

The Life Source Liquid was used by the Life Emperor to enhance his cultivation, but it's not as simple as just restoring it at will. It requires a much greater price. Normally, it takes 10 billion years to condense one drop of Life Source Liquid, but it takes 15 billion years to replenish it by severing one's cultivation.

With this wave of destruction, the Life Emperor's cultivation of hundreds of billions of years had vanished. Hundreds of billions of years! For Yi Shuihan, who had only cultivated for a few hundred million years, that was an unimaginable amount of time. All of this was for him. The Life Emperor had given up so many years of cultivation without hesitation. How could Yi Shuihan not be moved when he knew this?

If Yi Shuihan initially regarded the Life Emperor as merely a nominal master, now the Life Emperor is undoubtedly his true master, whose status is no less than that of Salama.

The Infinite Way has extraordinary effects, and it can certainly be used for healing. Although Yi Shuihan did not create any special techniques for healing, it did not prevent him from using it in the simplest way.

With the system's help, Yi Shuihan created a rapid recovery method in a very short time.

Yi Shuihan possesses the Myriad Realms Skill System, an authority in skills. He has already broken through to the Great Dao Emperor level, greatly enhancing the system's capabilities, making it not difficult for him to create a Great Dao Emperor-level skill.

"Let's name this skill Infinite Restore."

With the Dao of Infinity as its core, a physical skill was created in perfect harmony. This Dao-level skill allowed Yi Shuihan to recover at a speed a thousand times faster than usual.

"I can recover to my peak combat strength in just a few minutes."

Yi Shuihan was already skilled in recovery, and now with the Infinite Regeneration Body, he has such a terrifying effect. For an ordinary Great Dao Emperor, the recovery time would be calculated in hundreds of millions of years. Of course, these hundreds of millions of years do not involve using other methods to make the body recover automatically.

After glancing at the battlefield and estimating that a few minutes shouldn't affect the overall situation, at most another Great Dao Emperor would be killed or wounded, Yi Shuihan decisively decided not to use the Life Source Liquid.

"I've dealt with four Great Dao Emperor-level demons, so taking a few minutes to rest isn't unreasonable, is it? Absolutely not unreasonable. I only recently broke through to the Great Dao Emperor level!"

Yi Shuihan came to help the Merchant Alliance only to prevent the power of the evil forces from increasing. If it weren't for the invasion of the evil forces, he wouldn't care how many Great Dao Emperors the Merchant Alliance lost. Naturally, he wouldn't use the precious Life Source Liquid now in order to buy time. He used the Life Source Liquid in the past only when he had no other choice.

The business alliance isn't like my own sect, so it's normal for them to treat each other differently. Nobody can say anything about it, and nobody dares to say anything!

Having decided to heal his wounds discreetly, Yi Shuihan kept a close eye on the Albino Demon. Although everything that had happened before proved that the Albino Demon had no ability to attack proactively, it was always better to be cautious.

To give himself enough time to react, Yi Shuihan even retreated a light-year, although this distance was just within reach for a Great Dao Emperor.

Chapter 1493, Taking a Different Approach

As expected, the albino demon did not attack Yi Shuihan while he was recuperating. However, Yi Shuihan vaguely sensed that the demon had not been entirely inactive.

Finally, those two tightly closed eyes were fully opened, radiating an astonishing aura of intimidation.

Yi Shuihan didn't believe that the Albino Demon closed his eyes just to show off; there must be other reasons, such as a certain Virgo closing his eyes to continue accumulating energy, and that opening his eyes would cause the world to collapse.

Squinty-eyed people are all scary, but those with completely closed eyes are even scarier. Of course, we have to exclude truly blind people, and obviously the Albino Demon is not that blind person.

A few minutes passed in the blink of an eye. The battlefield not far away was slightly unfavorable, and another Great Dao Emperor had fallen. So far, the number of Great Dao Emperors who had fallen in the Merchant Alliance had reached five. It can be said that the Merchant Alliance had suffered heavy losses. Even if it survived this great calamity, its influence in the myriad realms would be greatly reduced.

Even with the addition of Salama and the Emperor of Life, the demonic forces still held the upper hand. Without Salama and the Emperor of Life, even more Great Dao Emperors would have fallen.

"Okay, we can begin the second round."

Whether it was a misperception or not, Yi Shuihan even felt that he was in better condition than when he came before. It was because his strength had naturally increased after the battle, or it could be a strange feeling brought about by the increased confidence after killing a few demons.

Although he had recovered, Yi Shuihan had not yet figured out how to deal with the Albino Demon, whose teleportation ability was simply too overpowered.

If we simply let the White Demon go, Yi Shuihan's combat power will play a significant role on the main battlefield there. After all, his strength is undeniable, and with his participation, we can still put up a fight against the demons. However, doing so would likely result in mutual destruction, which is far less worthwhile than breaking the seal and having the Great Dao Emperors come to our aid.

"Albinism Demon, seal, no, what I need to do is break the seal, but breaking the seal doesn't necessarily mean getting rid of the Albinism Demon!"

Some things can have completely different results if you just change your perspective slightly. The reason why Yi Shuihan focused on dealing with the Albino Demon was because it was the simplest way. The seal existed because of the Albino Demon, and if the Albino Demon had a problem, the seal would naturally break.

Furthermore, Yi Shuihan was unaware that the Albino Demon lacked the ability to launch an attack. If the Albino Demon had such an ability, it certainly wouldn't have allowed Yi Shuihan to research the seal, which is why he had to confront the Albino Demon first.

"Holy Spirit, how do we break this seal?"

Without asking whether it was possible, Yi Shuihan had complete confidence in the current system.

"The host only needs to go to the sealed area to begin the analysis. If the host cooperates, it will take about ten minutes."

Having obtained the answer, Yi Shuihan directly entered the sealed area and then began to analyze the seal in cooperation with the system.

The albino demon trembled for a moment when Yi Shuihan recovered from his injuries and began to move, but he suppressed it when he saw Yi Shuihan stand there blankly after entering the sealed area. He was very confident in his own abilities and did not believe that Yi Shuihan could break the seal in a short time.

Not only that, the Albino Demon's third pair of eyes, which were originally fully open, also closed halfway again.

Yi Shuihan had actually been keeping an eye on the situation of the albino demon. He felt a great sense of threat when the albino demon was about to move, and he breathed a sigh of relief when the albino demon recovered.

Ten minutes is a very short time, even for ordinary people, let alone for Yi Shuihan, a Great Dao Emperor. But while it was normal then, it seems a little long now, as another Great Dao Emperor has fallen in ten minutes.

The fall of a Great Dao Emperor is a rare event, occurring only once every trillion years. Yet, in just over ten minutes, they have fallen one after another, and none of them can be resurrected. This shows the cruelty of war.

In just over 10 minutes, the system, with Yi Shuihan's cooperation, had completely analyzed the seal and provided a solution to break it.

Yi Shuihan stretched out his hands, fingers spread, and subtle spatial fluctuations began to spread from his palms. In just a moment, the sealed area began to vibrate.

The white demon's half-closed third eye suddenly opened, and its gaze toward Yi Shuihan was filled with shock and anger.

"Don't think about it."

The albino demon, which had been motionless, suddenly moved, shooting out six beams of light from its three pairs of eyes. The beams were not aimed at Yi Shuihan, but at six specific nodes.

The beam of light did not linger at the node, but merged into it like a water droplet. Then, the seal that Yi Shuihan had begun to break was instantly stabilized.

Seeing this, Yi Shuihan decisively stopped trying to break the seal. It wasn't that he had no way; in fact, he realized that if he continued, the temporarily stabilized seal would soon be pried open again. It was precisely because he realized this that he stopped. He also realized another point: the seal did not need to be maintained by the White Demon for a short time. In other words, the White Demon could take the initiative to attack.

After Yi Shuihan stopped, he immediately assumed a defensive stance. The next instant, the figure of the White Demon was already in front of him.

Countless white bones emerged from the Albino Demon's body, forming a white bone domain. The speed was so fast that Yi Shuihan couldn't keep up, and Yi Shuihan's entire body was hit.

Fortunately, the albino demon's power was much weaker than expected, far less powerful than its attack during the transfer. Otherwise, Yi Shuihan would probably have been seriously injured again.

The albino demon's attack speed is fast, but its level is only half that of a Great Dao Emperor's attack. It is effective against Yi Shuihan, but it cannot seriously injure him, at least not in a short time.

If Yi Shuihan were facing an ordinary demon, he would withstand the opponent's offensive and launch a strong attack. By exchanging injuries, his higher attack power would undoubtedly give him an advantage. Yi Shuihan did the same when facing the albino demon, but he only returned one move and did not continue because the attack he returned was returned to him at an even faster speed.

"There's no solution! He can only hit me, and I can only hit him, and then my power will be transferred back to him."

Despite the dire situation, Yi Shuihan was not too downcast; he already had an idea.

"Since I can't hit you, I'll just continue to break the seal. Anyway, without my power, your attacks won't pose much of a threat in the short term."

Chapter 1494, The Seal is Broken, and the Situation Worsens

Once attention is focused on one thing, one will unconsciously neglect many other things. When Yi Shuihan started to break the seal again, his pain was relieved. Of course, in fact, the opposite was true; his injuries were getting worse.
