Xu Zimei unleashed a devastating Blade Qi attack, annihilating thousands of Monster Race members in a single blow. While a few Demon Kings watched in shock, one, Ba Tian, managed to escape. The remaining five Demon Kings attempted to fight back, but Xu Zimei swiftly defeated two of them, the Sun-Chasing Hawk Demon and the Nine-Feet Centipede. The remaining three Demon Kings then launched a combined assault, but Xu Zimei countered their attacks, defeating the Three-Headed Lion Tiger Beast.

As he reached out, the Blazing Flame Black Kirin above him changed its expression drastically.

Feeling an earth-shattering force enveloping its entire body, it felt as if it was weighed down immensely, finding it harder than ascending to heaven just to move a single step.

This realization filled the Blazing Flame Black Kirin with unspeakable terror.

However, it had no way out left, and to think of escape was impossible.

Staring at Xu Zimei, the Blazing Flame Black Kirin let out an angry roar.

In what seemed like despair, it morphed into a mass of blazing flames, charging headfirst towards Xu Zimei.

"Boom, boom."

When Xu Zimei's giant hand closed in, the Blazing Flame Black Kirin was instantly crushed.

With just a single encounter, in the blink of an eye, the five Demon Kings were obliterated as if they were mere twigs.

Seeing the five Demon Kings perish, Ba Tian seemed to have fled far away.

Xu Zimei let out a cold chuckle.

He said, "Can you really run away?"

He reached his right hand into the void.

Spiritual energy from the heavens roared to life incessantly.

In this moment, the sky darkened, winds roared, and clouds surged.

A colossal hand descended from the sky, sealing the entire void in place.

...…

Meanwhile, Ba Tian was...

He looked utterly bedraggled, darting through the void, expending all his strength to escape.

He glanced around, recognizing this area intimately.

This was a vast desert.

"Yellow Land Demon Sand?" Ba Tian looked at the desert, finally exhaling in relief.

He was at least hundreds of kilometers from the Monster Soul Cliff.

Having fled such a distance in one go, he thought he should be safe.

He took several deep breaths, clenching his fist tightly.

To him, the events that unfolded were devastatingly crushing.

Even though he escaped, his meticulously groomed power, including his Tyrannosaur Clan, was likely entirely decimated.

Ruling the Monster Race again would be nearly impossible for him.

Yet, being alive was a blessing.

That human was too terrifying; it was his fault for not realizing the severity and foolishly trying to exhaust the opponent with numbers.

At that moment, the sky and clouds changed again.

A massive hand descended from the sky, reaching to grasp him.

"How... how is this possible," Ba Tian's face changed dramatically.

He hadn't thought that even after fleeing here, they would still catch up to him.

Immense terror surged from within him.

"Damn it, is there no way to leave one path open, no choice but to go for total annihilation?"

Ba Tian roared in anger as he transformed into a tyrannosaur.

The form of the tyrannosaur he transformed into was utterly savage, truly horrifying to the extreme.

His entire body was covered in bumpy skin akin to volcanic rock, densely packed, and his brown skin was harder than steel.

Especially his limbs, they were thick and powerful.

As he stomped the ground, a deep print was instantly left behind.

Ba Tian opened his mouth as black torrent power surged within it.

A powerful burst erupted with a 'boom'.

When this forceful torrent struck against the immense hand, the explosive force Ba Tian imagined did not occur.

The immense hand simply flicked its fingers.

In an instant, the torrent was dissipated, even sending Ba Tian flying.

The force was incredibly overwhelming.

With just one strike, Ba Tian crumpled to the ground like a pile of mud, unable to move.

Soon after, the immense hand descended again, grabbing Ba Tian and traversing the void.

...…

Ba Tian was thrown down from the sky.

"Bang—"

Xu Zimei looked at Ba Tian, who lay crumpled in a heap before him, and smiled, "Where did you think you were going to run to?"

Ba Tian's vitality was indeed formidable.

Despite such heavy injuries, he managed to gradually stand back up.

"Master, I have been blind."

"I beg you to spare me, I still have my use."

"What use do you think you have?" Xu Zimei asked.

"I am very familiar with the Cangxuan Realm, I can help you rule it," Ba Tian quickly said.

Though he despised Xu Zimei, survival outweighed any hatred for him.

"With your support, Master, the entire Cangxuan Realm will be under your command."

Hearing Ba Tian's words, Xu Zimei squinted his eyes with amusement.

It was indeed a tempting proposition.

He didn't have the time to manage the Cangxuan Realm, so he could completely cultivate a proxy.

At that point, the entire Cangxuan Realm would be his domain.

Xu Zimei knew that Ba Tian still had his little schemes.

All his subordinates were dead, making a resurgence almost impossible.

But with his help, Ba Tian could once again dominate this area.

Seeing that Xu Zimei was swayed, Ba Tian quickly seized the opportunity, saying, "Master, you don't need to worry about anything, I will handle everything for you."

"At that time, you'll just need to give orders."

"What you say makes sense, but it's a shame," Xu Zimei said slowly.

"It's a shame I'm not interested in the Cangxuan Realm."

"I'm not even interested in the entire Nine Domains World."

If Xu Zimei wasn't aiming to challenge the heavens, perhaps he could peacefully become the master of the Nine Domains.

That lifestyle wouldn't be bad either.

But Xu Zimei aimed to truly challenge the heavens, rendering any power or existence obsolete.

How could the light of a firefly compare to the brilliance of the moon?

How could the ambitions of a sparrow be compared to the aspirations of a swan?

Hearing Xu Zimei's words, Ba Tian didn't respond for a while.

To him, becoming the ruler of the Cangxuan Realm might have been his lifelong aspiration.

Yet what he pursued his whole life, to Xu Zimei, was insignificant.

Life can be so dramatic sometimes.

"So, you must die after all!"

Xu Zimei said calmly.

"No... please no," Ba Tian tried to struggle, but ultimately his body was split, as Xu Zimei slammed him directly into the ground.

After eliminating everyone, Xu Zimei noticed that the crystal he had just obtained reacted once more.

He realized that the crystal could absorb blood energy.

The blood energy from the Monster Race creatures he had just killed was entirely absorbed by the crystal, leading to its regeneration.

He took out the crystal.

The crystal looked eerily red, red to the point of being purple.

Once again, Xu Zimei's consciousness entered the crystal.

This time, his Divine Soul seemed to be pulled deeper, trying to draw him into a further space.

The thunderbolt just now was a form of Heavenly Retribution.

The Heavenly Dao had likely discovered this void, directly destroying it.

This time, the crystal was obviously more vigilant.

Eventually, after an unknown amount of time, Xu Zimei's consciousness became clearer.

He opened his eyes to find a figure standing before him.

A middle-aged man dressed in a green robe, exuding a full Taoist charm.

"Fellow Daoist, managing to reach this place is the greatest creation."

The man in the green robe said so.

"Who are you?" Xu Zimei asked.

"No rush, no rush," the man in the green robe waved his hand.

The space before them began to change.

A galaxy streaked through the void, projecting countless starlit scenes.
