Fiery Sky abandoned the Skyscreen Pavilion and fled, causing their army to collapse. The Sky-Split Race's Demon Ancestor slaughtered millions, and the Skyscreen Pavilion was routed. Meanwhile, Huaikong confronted the Star Night Demon Ancestor in the Underworld. After a brief exchange, Huaikong's subordinate Tai Mountain fled while Huaikong faced the powerful Demon Ancestor Fu Yan. Fu Yan unleashed his 'Extreme Night Sky Splitting' divine skill, but Huaikong revealed his Chaos Taotie form and used a mysterious chaotic devouring vortex to completely consume Fu Yan. The other Demon Ancestors were stunned as Huaikong escaped, pursued by Star Night.

As the Star Night Demon Ancestor chased Huaikong, the other two Demon Ancestors, responded in unison, leading the Sky-Split Race guarding the Underworld to charge towards the Howling Abyss.

Rumble—

In the Underworld, tens of millions of demons roared angrily as they charged out, raising thick clouds of dust, shaking the earth with their momentum.

"Leave none alive!"

"Kill them all!"

The two Demon Ancestors roared in anger and disappeared from the Underworld.

At this moment, in the Jingzhi Tower, witnessing this scene, Huaikong and Weisheng Xingyu suddenly stood up, their gazes falling on Wenping, but Wenping’s expression remained calm, leaving the two unsure of what to say.

Could it be that the Sect Leader is not worried?

This is the Sky-Split Race officially declaring war on the Demon Emperor Lake tribe.

Facing a giant like the Sky-Split Race, without their help, the Demon Emperor Lake tribe might face great difficulties.

It might even lead to the destruction of the tribe!

"Sect Leader."

Chen Xie’s tone carried a sense of inquiry.

"Sect Leader?"

While Weisheng Xingyu’s tone carried doubt.

After glancing at the two, Wenping casually stood up, no longer interested in watching further, because he trusted Huaikong and the others.

"What, want to go help? Then go ahead, I won’t stop you two! With your strengths, you’re just right to clog those Demon Ancestors’ teeth."

Chen Xie was speechless.

Weisheng Xingyu smiled awkwardly, chuckled, and sat back down.

Alright.

Indeed, the two of them can’t be of much help either.

The methods of Jingzhi Tower can’t aid Huaikong and the others.

Life Technique, in the current situation, at most could calculate a fortune reading.

If it calculates great luck for the Demon Emperor Lake tribe...

Upon careful thought, it’s better not to.

Since the Sect Leader isn’t worried, why should they be concerned?

As the two sat back and exchanged an awkward glance, Wenping left the Jingzhi Tower and returned to Tingyu Pavilion, checking the remaining time for the Main Hall’s upgrade.

It’s still the same.

This is something Huaikong and the others need to experience.

As long as the Upper Realm Demon Emperor doesn’t return, and the more secretive presences in the Underworld don’t make a move, he doesn’t need to help the Demon Emperor Lake tribe.

Meanwhile, Taishan, charging out of the Underworld, roared for rescue outside the Howling Abyss as soon as he emerged.

Roar—

Taishan’s roar immediately spread dozens of miles, reaching the ears of Shifeng, Taoniang, and many others of the Demon Emperor Lake tribe near the edge of the Howling Abyss.

"It’s Taishan!"

Taoniang was shocked and hurriedly crawled to the edge of the Howling Abyss, extending her head and searching for Taishan’s Qi within the Abyss.

"Something happened, as expected the Sky-Split Race is no good!"

Shifeng didn’t look much, because as the second most powerful being in the entire race, second only to the Demon Emperor, Shifeng not only heard Taishan’s roar but also felt Taishan’s cry for help transmitted with demon power and captured Taishan’s location and Qi.

Huaikong was not by his side.

A bad thought arose spontaneously, and Shifeng immediately roared in anger, transforming into a Ten-tailed Qilin soaring into the sky, circling above the heads of demons at Heaven and Earth Lake.

"Charge into the Howling Abyss!"

After saying that, Shifeng plunged directly into the Howling Abyss, with Taoniang and the demons of the Demon Emperor Lake tribe also following him, jumping into the Abyss.

The war between the Sky-Split Race and the Demon Emperor Lake tribe.

Has officially begun!

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The Demon Emperor Lake tribe’s shouts were earth-shattering, startling the Sky-Split Race guarding the edge of the Howling Abyss, who thought the covering sky tower had arrived.

Seeing that it was actually the demons who had just occupied Wuyou Swamp charging down, the demons were furious and immediately faced the Demon Emperor Lake tribe.

But in the next second, Shifeng fell into the demon crowd, his ten tails swept across all demons, killing all those under Celestial Unrestricted instantly.

"Dare to strike against my Emperor?"

With an angry shout, Shifeng carved a bloody path among the dense crowd of demons and then headed towards where Taishan was located.

Following closely, Taoniang and tens of millions of demons from the Demon Emperor Lake tribe also descended.

Boom—

Boom—

Bang—

Bang—

Millions of demon groups landing one after another, causing the Howling Abyss to tremble, the previously ubiquitous sound of wailing now akin to mosquito calls.

In an instant, the millions of demons from the Sky-Split Race left guarding the Howling Abyss were engulfed.

Though there were many Demon Kings, they couldn’t withstand the overwhelming numbers of the Demon Emperor Lake tribe.

At the same time, Shifeng and Taishan met at the Black River. As soon as they saw each other, Shifeng urgently asked, "Taishan, where is the Demon Emperor?"

"Still behind! The Sky-Split Race has three Lower Realm Demon Ancestors and one Middle Realm Demon Ancestor surrounding His Majesty the Demon Emperor. His Majesty refuses to submit, so a battle has broken out."

Seeing Shifeng and the Lake Demon Race all charging down, Taishan no longer considered fleeing. Instead, he turned around and prepared to follow Shifeng into the Underworld to assist the Demon Emperor.

Just now fled.

Not because of fear.

But to avoid hindering the Demon Empress’s retreat.

Returning now.

Not because of bravery.

But because he is ready to sacrifice himself to assist the Demon Emperor.

He chooses meaningful sacrifice over meaningless sacrifice!

"Really think of himself as the underground emperor?" Shifeng snorted coldly, then transformed into a dazzling light and rushed towards Huaikong’s location.

Taishan followed closely behind.

Before long, from afar, Shifeng saw Huaikong flying towards him.

Upon seeing Shifeng and Taishan, Huaikong exclaimed, "Retreat, the Star Night Demon Ancestor is coming."

Shifeng angrily said, "Second Brother, you go first, I’ll cover the rear. These small Sky-Split creatures really think they’re something."

As he spoke.

The starry night had not arrived.

Demon Power reached them first.

As enormous Demon Power swept in, a massive creature, as long as a snake and dragon, came into view.

It was the Star Night Demon Ancestor!

"Where are you running?"

Star Night Demon Ancestor’s eyes suddenly emitted a purple light, then in a roar, the purple light swept through everything around.

Shifeng, Huaikong, Taishan, and other demons, including Tao’s Daughter who came in response, were penetrated by the purple light and turned into wooden figures, unable to move.

Suddenly.

Star Night Demon Ancestor disappeared from its spot.

When it reappeared, it was in front of Huaikong and the others.

Just as Huaikong and the others began to move, the Star Night Demon Ancestor opened its massive mouth again and spewed a foul-smelling purple poison.

Both Tao’s Daughter, Taishan, and other Demon Gods below Celestial Unrestricted all changed their expressions.

Thinking they were doomed, they heard a unique sound.

Sizzle—

The deadly poison capable of instantly killing all beings and humans below Celestial Unrestricted was swallowed by Huaikong in one gulp, with only a small amount of poison remaining at the edge of Huaikong’s mouth corroding his scales.

Though not a Demon Immortal Demon Body, Huaikong’s Demon Body belongs to the Chaos Taotie, an S-level bloodline, rendering the Star Night’s poison ineffective.

Then the Star Night Demon Ancestor let out an exclamation of surprise.

"It really is!"

His Purple Profound Poison is one of his strongest Divine Techniques, its potency so fierce a single drop could kill an entire city’s population. Even if a Demon Ancestor were hit, they wouldn’t die but would be severely injured. Yet Huaikong swallowed it like drinking water, unharmed.

This proves Huaikong is harnessing the Power of Heaven and Earth!

Because this isn’t something the Power of Nature can accomplish.

Only the Power of Heaven and Earth can neutralize the poison of Purple Profound Poison.

"Then you must not be allowed to live." Star Night said this, instantly pouncing on Huaikong, its great mouth opening wide, rows of poisonous teeth glinting ominously.

Though Purple Profound Poison can be neutralized by the Power of Heaven and Earth, if ingested into a Demon Ancestor’s body and bloodstream, the Power of Heaven and Earth can’t solve it.

Unless you use all your Demon Power to suppress the spread of the poison.

But if you do that, how can you fight?

Whoosh—

With a raise of his hand, Huaikong operated Demon Qi to send Shifeng, Tao’s Daughter, and others away, then faced Star Night alone.

The great mouth opened again!

But this time, it’s different.

With Huaikong, the Elder, the sky began to change colors, chaos enveloped Howling Abyss, blocking perception of said demons.

Even Star Night is no exception.

Then an immense Devouring Power and Power of Chaos began to fuse and emanate from Huaikong’s mouth, rushing toward Star Night.

S-level Chaos Taotie.

The two strongest Divine Techniques—Heaven and Earth Chaos, Chaos Heaven-Devouring.

Used simultaneously!

Huaikong knows he cannot lose this battle.

If he loses.

The Lake Demon Race is gone.

(Not that dawn has arrived...)

Heh heh.

Not really the second day.)
