Liyan Tian initially gained the upper hand against the Sky-Split Race's Demon Ancestor, crushing him with the Heaven-Supporting Pillar and allowing the Heaven-Shrouding Tower forces to slaughter thousands. However, the Demon Ancestor unexpectedly underwent a transformation, breaking free and overpowering Liyan Tian. Despite Liyan Tian's desperate attempts, the Demon Ancestor proved too strong, eventually forcing Liyan Tian to flee and leaving the Heaven-Shrouding Tower in a dire situation. Chen Xie and Weisheng Xingyu were stunned by the Demon Ancestor's power, leading Chen Xie to worry about Huaikong's safety.

As Chen Xie was just collecting his thoughts and preparing to ask the Sect Leader about Huaikong, the scales of victory completely collapsed.

Boom—

A sound of breaking through the air resounded, and Fiery Sky turned without looking back, transforming into a startling rainbow and fleeing into the distance, breaking through the Sea of Clouds and disappearing in an instant above the battlefield.

The people of the Skyscreen Pavilion reacted too late.

Even the Middle Realm Demon Ancestor of the Sky-Split Race couldn’t react in time.

The Fiery Sky actually escaped?

One of the top ten Middle Realm experts universally recognized by the people of the Skyscreen Pavilion, Fiery Sky, abandoned everyone because he feared death and fled.

At this moment.

Many people of the Skyscreen Pavilion had their mental states somewhat collapsed.

They couldn’t help but doubt their beliefs, questioning what they were fighting bloodily for, willingly sacrificing themselves.

"Cowardly rat!"

The Middle Realm Demon Ancestor of the Sky-Split Race chose not to pursue, merely mocking coldly, then his massive figure crashed into the army of the Battle Division.

The Skyscreen Pavilion’s Battle Division, which could have held its own against the Sky-Split Race, instantly collapsed under a single blow, and wherever his claws passed, all under Celestial Unrestricted perished.

Tens of thousands of Skyscreen Pavilion members were utterly terrified, and coupled with Fiery Sky deserting them and escaping the battlefield, their inner beliefs crumbled.

The overwhelming majority began frantically fleeing the battlefield, the spectacle far more grand than any large-scale animal migration.

The people of Skyscreen Pavilion flee.

The Sky-Split Race gives chase.

In less than an hour, millions fell on this battlefield populated by tens of thousands of Skyscreen Pavilion members and Battle Division warriors.

Blood gathered into streams, flowing intricately.

Dyeing the land red, seeping ten yards deep into the ground.

The Sky-Split Race swept through, piling torn limbs and corpses into mountains, then reduced to ashes beneath the ripple of Vein Technique and Demon Power.

Witnessing this scene, Chen Xie’s heart couldn’t help but be stirred.

Too tragic.

It’s like an apocalyptic battle.

Yet, when Chen Xie turned his head and saw Weisheng Xingyu with a satisfied smile and his own Sect Leader remaining calm as usual.

He quickly exhaled heavily to calm his agitated heart.

He’s still too young.

Though he is the master of the Omniscient Pavilion.

Isn’t this just the outcome of defeat?

If the Immortal Sect loses in the future.

If the Lake Demon Race loses.

It would be the same outcome.

"Sect Leader, are you sure you don’t need us to assist Huaikong and the others?" Chen Xie downed the tea in his cup and asked after calming his mood.

Wen Ping watched the Middle Realm Demon Ancestor, savagely slaughtering the Skyscreen Pavilion’s Battle Division warriors, and replied calmly: "The power of the Forbidden Demon Ancestor guarding the Howling Abyss is about the same, not very strong. Just this level of strength alone isn’t enough to threaten Huaikong’s life."

It’s still the same words.

If there’s no threat of death.

Wen Ping will not intervene.

Giving the Demon Emperor Lake a little pressure is good.

Like a spring, it needs pressure to bounce.

The greater the pressure, the higher the bounce.

"Isn’t Huaikong just stepping into the Demon Ancestor Realm?" But Chen Xie was somewhat at a loss, even a bit puzzled by Wen Ping’s response.

Weisheng Xingyu, listening on the side, couldn’t help but lean in to listen.

Faced with the curious duo, Wen Ping explained: "It’s actually no secret that’s not worth telling. Because the difference in their bloodline levels is too significant. This is a greater gap than between a cultivator without an Innate Anomaly Vein and one who possesses one."

"I see."

Chen Xie understood.

This realization made Chen Xie even more curious.

With a thought, he dispatched two or three Black Shadows from the Omniscient Pavilion to explore the Howling Abyss through the Demon Emperor Lake’s Teleportation Array.

Wen Ping knew but didn’t stop him.

Because he also wanted to see the situation of Huaikong in the Underworld.

...

Underworld.

After delving a hundred miles further into the Howling Abyss, one enters a brand-new realm.

This new realm has no sunlight, but ordinary glowing crystal stones are everywhere, like lanterns illuminating the entire Underworld.

This is where the Sky-Split Race thrives!

However, at present, the Underworld is empty because ninety percent of the Sky-Split Race is engaged in battle with the Skyscreen Pavilion.

Suddenly.

A furious shout rings out.

"Huaikong, do you think this Demon Ancestor courteously treats you as someone easy to talk to?" The Star Night Demon Ancestor, entwined with a massive Stone Peak, angrily questions Huaikong, unable to resist crushing the Stone Peak.

The Stone Peak transforms into thousands of pieces that fall amid rolling dust, one boulder even rolling a thousand yards before Huaikong.

Facing the Star Night Demon Ancestor with a human form, Huaikong directly devours it, like eating a soybean, and then responds firmly: "Submit? I, Huaikong, and the Lake Demon Race were born with a hard fate, unable to learn how to bend, so there’s no need to waste your breath."

With that, he strides to leave, "Tai Mountain!"

Tai Mountain immediately follows, keeping a wary eye on the three Lower Realm Demon Ancestors who glare like tigers ready to sacrifice to protect the Demon Emperor’s departure.

"Trying to leave?"

Instantly, the always predatory Demon Ancestor, Fu Yan, reveals his demon form, blocking Huaikong’s way with his massive demon race body, then raises a claw to strike at Tai Mountain.

Tai Mountain is merely Earth Unrestricted Upper Realm.

While Fu Yan is a Demon Ancestor.

This claw evidently aimed to kill Tai Mountain.

Seeing this, Huaikong immediately mobilizes the demon pill within him, condensing substantial demon power into a gray-white-black mixed chaos vortex before Tai Mountain.

Bang—

The next second, Fu Yan’s claw hits the chaos vortex, the impact leveling the thousand-yard range where Tai Mountain stood.

However, Tai Mountain remains unscathed.

The chaos vortex remained unscathed.

Fu Yan, seeing this, showed no shock or surprise, but rather a hint of disdain in his ferocious smile. He retracted his claws and said, "I sensed the power of Taotie. So it turns out it’s just a hybrid. Interesting, a hybrid could actually step into the Demon Ancestor Realm."

Clearly.

The legend of a dragon birthing nine sons also circulates in this world.

Huaikong paid no attention to this but instead said to Taishan, "Hurry up and escape."

Taishan hesitated, initially prepared to die for Huaikong, but without a moment’s delay, he obeyed Huaikong’s order, transforming into a startling arc as he fled the way he came.

Because he did not see a trace of panic on the Demon Emperor’s assured face.

If he stayed, he would only burden the Demon Emperor’s escape.

Just as Taishan transformed into a startling arc to escape, Fu Yan moved again, and simultaneously, two other Demon Ancestors also prepared to act, assisting Fu Yan in finishing off Huaikong and Taishan.

However, the Star Night Demon Ancestor intervened.

"Just a mere hybrid, it can’t cause chaos. I want to see where the confidence comes from in saying his life is tough and can’t bend."

The Star Night Demon Ancestor spoke, and the two Demon Ancestors beside him immediately halted, neither helping Fu Yan nor pursuing Taishan.

With a loud roar, the figure of Fu Yan the Demon Ancestor suddenly became twice as large as before, his aura rising to a peak.

Then, an extreme night descended, sweeping across the underworld with lightning speed, instantly enveloping Huaikong.

Swish—

Black flames ignited around Fu Yan, transforming into a startling arc, rushing into the night, leaving a streak like a falling star as he charged at Huaikong.

"Divine Skill: Extreme Night Sky Splitting!"

As the words fell, five streams of light pierced through the night.

The shape of these five streams of light was clearly a claw mark.

Swish—

Swish—

Swish—

Only ten breaths passed.

Thousands of claw marks lit up the night, shaking the underworld with deafening roars, as if a massive earthquake was about to strike.

The Star Night Demon Ancestor observed this scene, solemnly speaking, "Fu Yan’s Extreme Night Sky Splitting, although unable to harness the Power of Nature, is potent enough to slay a Celestial Unrestricted human strongman. Throughout Heaven-Gazing Gorge, few Lower Realm Demon Gods can compare to it."

He wanted to see for himself.

What confidence such a hybrid like Huaikong had in saying that his life is tough and he cannot bend.

If Huaikong could endure a day in Fu Yan’s Extreme Night Sky Splitting, he might consider sparing Huaikong’s life.

If he could not.

Then he would only die!

Meanwhile, a Black Shadow also arrived in the underworld and observed this scene.

The Black Shadow’s eyes pierced through the night, instantly transmitting everything happening in the underworld back to the Jin Zhi Building, where it was displayed before Wen Ping and his two companions.

"Huaikong?"

Chen Xie was startled, his gaze falling on Huaikong, who was huddling in the night and not retaliating.

Just after Chen Xie’s exclaimed shock, Huaikong immediately revealed the form of a Chaos Taotie, enduring Fu Yan’s attack with his mouth agape, as Devouring Power crazily emerged to form a vortex, instantly enveloping Fu Yan, who was attacking Huaikong.

"Not good!"

As Fu Yan found himself enveloped by the Devouring Power, he discovered he could not break free, and his expression suddenly changed.

And Huaikong’s words further alerted Fu Yan to the grave situation.

"Are you scratching me?"

Upon Huaikong’s words, Chaos Power madly surged from his body and the world around, merging truly into the Devouring Power.

A chaotic devouring vortex immediately formed!

"What is this power?"

"Power of Nature?"

"Power of Heaven and Earth?"

Feeling the surging and extremely unfamiliar Chaos Power, Fu Yan’s expression drastically changed, watching as his body slowly got sucked into the vortex, he started to struggle madly.

However, it was futile!

In just ten breaths, Fu Yan’s lower half was swallowed by the chaotic devouring vortex, and he was rapidly sinking further.

The extreme night enveloping the underworld began to slowly dissipate at this moment.

The scene of Fu Yan being swallowed by Huaikong exactly entered the eyes of Star Night and the other two Demon Ancestors, causing the three demons to momentarily freeze.

"How..."

"Fu Yan lost?"

The two demons were startled.

Before they could regain their senses, Huaikong had already swallowed Fu Yan and then transformed into a startling arc, flying outward.

Behind him, the Star Night finally snapped out of it after a few breaths, immediately soaring into the sky, letting out a thunderous roar as he gave chase to Huaikong.

He never expected.

Fu Yan died.

And died so quickly.

Overwhelmed!

Truly overwhelmed!

Wasn’t Huaikong just a hybrid demon?

How could a Soul Demon with an impure bloodline be so powerful?

And what was that power he just sensed?

Apart from the Devouring Power, what was that power?

It was too mysterious and vast.

Could it be the Power of Heaven and Earth?

Thinking about this, Star Night quickly denied the thought in his heart.

How could it be the Power of Heaven and Earth?

A Demon Race capable of controlling the Power of Heaven and Earth, that was a legendary existence.

How could it appear repeatedly?

And all of them come to attack the Sky-Split Race!

How could it be such a coincidence?
