The people in the collapsing iron gave the immortal ship a small shock from the Holy Lord.

Moreover, neither the water god from Fontainebleau nor the grass god of Sumeru made a move.

As intelligent as she was, she naturally knew that this was a test for her and Liyue.

This is a test of whether Liyue can cope with future crises on its own.

"Lord Ningguang, according to Qianyan Army's estimation, this demon god will continuously repair itself with the power of water element in the water."

Unless we strike it with tremendous force in an instant, exceeding its regeneration rate, it's impossible to seriously injure it.

The secretary below nervously reported.

"Immense power..."

Ningguang frowned, then looked at the Jade Pavilion beneath her feet.

As a giant floating unit, the Jade Pavilion naturally contains enormous energy. If this energy could be channeled out, it would be enough to severely injure even a demon god.

"Activate the Jade Pavilion and prepare for self-destruction!"

Without much hesitation, Ningguang immediately gave the order.

"Huh?" The secretary was shocked. Wasn't the Emperor still here? Why use the Jade Pavilion to attack him?

If I had known, Ningguang would have spent a large portion of her wealth on the construction of this Jade Pavilion.

This blow, while not necessarily leading to bankruptcy, will certainly be devastating.

"Hmph, Mora can be earned back, but I don't want the Emperor to think that the people of Liyue can only live under the protection of the gods."

"Parents cannot protect their children forever, and children also need to find their own way to survive."

"Follow my orders, take control of Qunyu Pavilion, and notify the Qianyan Army and the Mechanical Guard via the network to provide cover."

"It's time to give this reckless demon a little shock from Liyue!"

Ningguang decisively waved her hand, and the secretary below immediately obeyed and left.

Before long, the offensive along the coastline intensified, and the Jade Pavilion, suspended in the sky, withstood the aftershocks released by Oser from time to time and advanced to the top of the enemy.

"boom!"

The massive Jade Pavilion collapsed, and at the same time, all the energy used to support this enormous floating structure was released.

In an instant, it was as if a small nuclear bomb had exploded in front of them. The huge sound reverberated throughout Liyue Harbor, and the explosive light it emitted gave people the feeling of the sun falling.

At the same time came a huge howl.

"Ugh! Mortals, you deserve to die!!"

After the initial shock, everyone who had been following the battle looked toward where it had taken place.

All that could be seen was that Oser's three heads were destroyed, and the entire demon god exuded a listless expression.

However, this listless look is gradually recovering.

“I admit you do have some skill, but am I such a fool? Without your noticing, I have already eroded the water veins of Liyue. Hahaha, the more you harm me, the drier Liyue will become in the future.”

"Morax, come out! Is this all you can do? Send these useless mortals! Come on, kill me and turn Liyue into a desert!!"

191 Demon War

"Hmm... Liyue's performance was not bad. Now it's my turn to shine."

When Bai Zhi saw the Jade Pavilion fall, but Ausel was still alive, she knew it was time for her to make her appearance.

"Morax, where are you? If you've got the guts to seal me away, then come and face me!"

Oser's arrogant voice echoed throughout Liyue Harbor.

"Do you really want to get beaten up?"

"You are...."

Ausel was startled to see Bai Zhi fall from the sky, then looked somewhat suspicious.

Could this be a Celestial from Liyue?

He still remembered that it was the Liyue Immortals who, together with Morax, sealed him away back then.

Some immortals possess power that is strong enough even among demons.

"I am Bai Zhi. I am honored by the kindness of everyone in Liyue, who will also respectfully call me the Geo King and the Demon God Oser. I heard your taunts just now. Do you want to fight me?"

"You, the Rock King Emperor? Hahaha, a little girl, look at your frail body, the difference between you and that old codger is too great."

Upon hearing Bai Zhi's self-introduction, Ausel was first taken aback, then burst into laughter, his head bobbing up and down with laughter, even the surrounding seawater roaring in response.

His mockery was not without reason. Although Bai Zhi's body was already quite large after transforming into a dragon, it was still much smaller than a demon god like Osel, only about half the size of him.

Moreover, compared to Zhongli's previous heavy-looking color, the dragon Baizhi transformed into was mainly white, making it look more agile and less imposing.

"It seems Liyue is really finished. A little girl like you can inherit the position of Geo Archon. That old man Morax, could he be dead already?"

Oser said somewhat arrogantly.

At first, he was a little cautious, after all, if Bai Zhi was an immortal, a group of guys might come and gang up on him.

But after Bai Zhi revealed that she was the Rock God, Oser relaxed.

What's that saying again? When the tiger's away, the monkeys become king.

If Liyue is so weak that Bai Zhi is chosen to inherit the position of Geo Archon, then her strength must have been greatly weakened during her sealing period.

Perhaps not only Morax, but even most of the immortals are dead.

Otherwise, how could he have broken the seal?

"Fine, if that old bastard Morax dies, I'll take my anger out on you. After I kill you, I'll rule this land and restore my glory."

Bai Zhi chuckled after hearing this. Did this guy's IQ drop because he got his head smashed a few times?

Or did the seal also seal away his intelligence?

The armed forces of the Liyue humans could cripple him, so where did he get the information that they could defeat him?

"Foolish little brat, witness my power!"

With a loud shout, the surrounding seawater surged violently, and Oser's already enormous body expanded dramatically. At the same time, numerous highly lethal water elemental blades burst forth from his body.

In the blink of an eye, it swept across the entire sea.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, the outbreak is far from over.

"Is Bai Zhi really alright...?"

Such a large-scale, demon-level attack caused a slight change in the expressions of Funina and Narcida, who were watching the battle.

After all, compared to that broken robot Sumeru, this is a genuine demon god, and it is in the sea. As the demon god of vortexes, it has gained a terrifying boost.

Raiden Cat calmly licked its paw, its tone devoid of any panic, "Don't worry, Oser has been sealed for so long that its strength has decreased a lot, and although Bai Zhi's strength isn't particularly strong, it's still enough to deal with this kind of guy."

"Besides, aren't we right here? If that guy could kill Bai Zhi in front of us, he wouldn't have been sealed away for so long."

With Shadow's words, a new change has occurred in this war between demons.

As Ausel arrogantly unleashed his attack, a red beam of light streaked across the sky and slammed into Ausel's head, which had just recovered.

Ausel also clearly noticed Bai Zhi's attack. He chuckled and conjured a water blade to crash into Bai Zhi's attack.

This was exactly what Bai Zhi wanted. Despite the barrage of attacks, she did her best to get closer to Osel.

"boom!"

A terrifying heatwave swept through the area, and flames containing terrifying power, like roaring fire dragons, rushed towards Oser with overwhelming force.

Ausel was shocked by the terror of the flames.

You're supposed to be the successor of the Geo God, so why don't you have any Geo-type attacks? Instead, you're using fire instead.

While Ausel was stunned, Bai Zhi continued to unleash her power, a surge of immense fire energy mixed with other elemental forces erupting forth and enveloping Ausel entirely.

"what!!"

After being enveloped by this mixed energy, Oser almost instantly let out a shrill scream, his entire massive body desperately unleashing its power.

As a vortex demon, Zhongli's rock type is not his best counter; rather, fire-type attacks like Baizhi are.

Even in Liyue Harbor, which is quite a distance from the battlefield, everyone could feel the steam rising from the vapor of Oser's body.

The entire Liyue Harbor instantly felt like it was in a steamer.

As Raiden Cat watched this, a gigantic Eye of Lightning opened above Liyue Harbor, and a shield of lightning deployed to isolate the potentially harmful steam.

The burning effect of the dragon talisman began to take hold on Oser, the vortex demon god, who continuously drew power from the water in an attempt to extinguish the troublesome flames.

But Angelica dahurica could not do as he wished.

She ascended into the sky, where several elements began to mix. Fire was at its core, aided by lightning, making the fire even more explosive. Wind spread the elements, and finally, water enveloped them, forming an enormous asteroid.

"Then, try this Heavenly Waterfall move."

Imitating Aurelion Sol's ultimate move, this powerful attack, a mixture of several elements, is far more terrifying to a water-based daemon like Oser than to a rock-based one.

The elemental asteroid slowly fell, like a real star falling, and crashed into Oser, who had just escaped the burning of the dragon talisman.

"boom!"

The scene was silent for a moment, then suddenly erupted, with elemental shockwaves spreading outwards from Oser's core.

It was thanks to the protection of the Shadow God in Liyue Harbor that the aftershocks were able to destroy many buildings.

192 Return to the Star Iron World

Oser could no longer scream. The combined attack of multiple elements had left his body, which had only recently recovered, riddled with holes, and several of his heads were damaged, leaving only one remaining.

His eyes revealed terror.

What kind of monster is this? Although its strength is far inferior to Morax, it is far superior to that noble gold god in terms of restraining him.

"Well, Mr. Osel, do you find my little trick acceptable?"

Bai Zhi floated in the air, her tone slightly teasing.

"I...."

Oser opened his mouth, about to say something, but the re-attached burning sensation made him grimace.

After several seconds, he trembled all over, enduring the pain, and said, "Your Majesty... I have offended you, please... please forgive me."

As a demon god, Oser knew he wouldn't die so easily, but having finally escaped, how could he be sealed back in?

Seeing this, Bai Zhi was somewhat surprised; she had thought this guy was preparing for a life-or-death battle with her.

"I still quite liked your defiant attitude just now. Why don't you try to be a little more assertive?"

Hearing Bai Zhi's slightly teasing words, and with the flames still burning him, the fire that had been extinguished by Ausel suddenly flared up again.

"Don't go too far. I currently control most of Liyue's waterways. If I'm sealed away, I guarantee Liyue will become a desert in the future!"

Osel growled.

"You think I'm afraid of your little threat? Either you obediently get sealed away, or I'll beat you up and then seal you away."

"you!"

Ausel was speechless at Bai Zhi's words. He really wanted to know if the other party was truly the new generation of Geo Archon of Liyue, and why she didn't seem to care about the state of Liyue at all.

That's Liyue's water vein! For a country, water resources are arguably the most important thing.

After all, water is the source of life. Without water, it is difficult to form settlements. Even the largest city will eventually turn into ruins if it loses its water supply.

"If you just let me go, I will stop threatening Liyue. I'm even willing to sign a contract with you. How about it?"

Gritting his teeth, Oser made another demand. He didn't want to be sealed away again; that kind of life wasn't for a god.

"Do you think you can just let bygones be bygones the people of Liyue for your intention to harm them? And the countless losses you've caused can't be forgotten with just a promise."

Bai Zhi glanced at the ship debris floating throughout Liyue Harbor and said.

"Didn't you break this when you hit me?! And if you had just surrendered, this wouldn't have happened!"

"Listen to yourself, are you even speaking human language? Surrender right now? How dare you, a demon god, say such a thing? Fine, I'm not going to waste my breath on you. Either go back and get sealed away, or I'll give you a good beating right now."

Bai Zhi shook her head, too lazy to argue with this guy anymore. She had already figured it out; he was just stalling for time to repair himself.
