The Sky-Split Race launches a full-scale assault, leading tens of millions of demons towards the Howling Abyss. While Wenping remains unconcerned, Huaikong and Weisheng Xingyu are hesitant to intervene. Meanwhile, Shifeng and Taoniang rally the Demon Emperor Lake tribe to charge into the Howling Abyss to rescue Taishan. As they battle the Sky-Split Race forces, Huaikong confronts the Star Night Demon Ancestor, who attacks with a potent poison. Huaikong, however, reveals his Chaos Taotie heritage, neutralizing the poison and preparing to unleash his full power.

When the Devouring Power and Power of Chaos attacked simultaneously, the Star Night Demon Ancestor astonishingly didn’t dodge or evade, letting both powers completely engulf his demon body.

It seemed as if he did it on purpose.

Of course.

This was not an act.

In the midst of Heaven and Earth Chaos, what is blocked is not just perception; it also throws the enveloped into a state of disarray.

In a state of chaos.

You feel like you’re moving forward, but you’re actually falling down!

You feel like you’re retreating, but you’re actually crashing into Huaikong’s gun muzzle!

You feel like you’re in motion, but you’re actually standing still!

The recent situation of the Star Night Demon Ancestor was the third kind.

When the Star Night Demon Ancestor was entangled by the Devouring Power and Power of Chaos, realizing something strange, all the demon power within him erupted instantly, transforming into a purple light sweeping across his body, instantly purifying his disordered state, but it was already too late.

After being entangled by the Devouring Power and Power of Chaos, the Star Night Demon Ancestor found that his body was more or less out of his control.

Not only was his body uncontrollable, but being pulled into Huaikong’s mouth, the Star Night Demon Ancestor also felt the rapid depletion of demon power within his body.

His demon power was being drawn out of his body like well water, turning into a stream rapidly flowing into Huaikong’s mouth.

"Clearly just a Lower Realm Demon Ancestor, but able to suppress my power. Huaikong, then this Demon Ancestor cannot let you live any longer."

The killing intent within the Star Night Demon Ancestor towards Huaikong grew even more resolute!

More determined than the Sky-Split Race’s revenge against the Sky-Covering Tower.

Since Huaikong refuses to submit.

Then he must die!

Huaikong living is a threat to the Sky-Split Race!

With his current power displayed in the Lower Realm, it wouldn’t be a century before Huaikong could wrangle with an Upper Realm Demon Emperor.

Huaikong will surely be like the previous Wood Dragon, even if the entire Sky-Split Race emptied out, there was nothing they could do about him, finally forcing a Middle Realm Demon Ancestor and millions of demons to blood sacrifice, barely suppressing that Wood Dragon, forcing him to flee in defeat.

This is something he does not wish to see.

And something the entire Sky-Split Race does not wish to endure again.

"Transforming Day Purple Light!" Without hesitation, the Star Night Demon Ancestor immediately used another divine technique, his eyes instantly bursting with brilliance.

Like a purple sun descending.

The purple light erupted from the Star Night Demon Ancestor’s eyes, instantly illuminating the Howling Abyss for a hundred miles, everything the light passed through was melted. The already ravaged Howling Abyss had another large hole blasted open by the Star Night Demon Ancestor.

However, the demons behind Huaikong remained completely unharmed.

Whenever the purple light passed near Huaikong, the Power of Chaos and Devouring Power would capture it like a giant hand clutching it like a chick, then forcibly stuff it into Huaikong’s devouring maw, turning into demon power, stored within the Demon Pill.

"Truly troublesome!"

Seeing that Transforming Day Purple Light couldn’t harm Huaikong, the Star Night Demon Ancestor suddenly felt troubled, knowing that swiftly resolving Huaikong was a far-fetched hope.

Thus began employing various divine techniques, focusing on resisting the constantly pulling Chaos and Devouring Power.

As time passed, suddenly a wave of disorder hit his brain, a few breaths later, when he awoke again, he found himself getting closer and closer to Huaikong.

Less than three hundred feet!

Clearly, just now there was a thousand feet distance!

No choice, the Star Night Demon Ancestor had to use his trump card.

"Leave Huaikong to me, you go annihilate those under Huaikong’s command... leave none alive!"

The Star Night Demon Ancestor gave the order, deciding to first drag it out with Huaikong, forcing Huaikong to reveal his flaw and weakness. And the best way to expose his weakness and flaw was slaughtering those demons he cared for deeply and was willing to protect with his life.

But what the Star Night Demon Ancestor did not expect was.

Huaikong merely shouted two words.

"Shifeng!"

"Second Brother, leave those two to me!"

As the words fell, Shifeng stomped the ground, and as the earth trembled, crimson Qilin Li Fire began rising from beneath Shifeng’s feet.

Within a breath, Qilin Li Fire spread across Shifeng’s body, igniting the ten giant tails and fortifying the Qilin Scale Armor on Shifeng.

The ten tails coiled with Qilin Li Fire, like a sky-overlapping attack charging towards the demon crowd from the Sky-Split Race and two Lower Realm Demon Ancestors.

"Power of Nature!"

"How can it be?"

The two Lower Realm Demon Ancestors of the Sky-Split Race were astonished, the disdain they once had towards the Lake Demon Race instantly vanished.

A clan with two top-tier bloodlines?

The Sky-Split Race, with billions of demons spanning thousands of years, managed to nurture only a few top-tier bloodline demon ancestors capable of commanding the Power of Nature.

What is the background of this Lake Demon Race really?

"Ten-Tailed Fire Departure Kill!"

Shifeng coldly spoke, the ten giant tails shot forth, instantly spanning across the Howling Abyss, breaking through it once more.

Boom—

The two Lower Realm Demon Ancestors of the Sky-Split Race tried to dodge, but avoided one tail only to be hit by the second and third tails.

After repelling the two demons, Shifeng leaped into the air, and the ten tails seemed possessed, descending like a torrential storm upon the location of the two Sky-Split Race Demon Ancestors.

Boom—

Boom—

Boom—

The two Lower Realm Demon Ancestors of the Sky-Split Race didn’t even have time to counterattack; the first thing they did after getting up was passive defense.

Under the storm-like assault, the whole Howling Abyss kept collapsing.

The stone cliffs began to fracture.

The stone wall overhead of the Howling Abyss started to collapse.

The billions of demons from the Sky-Split Race emerging from the underworld were buried in rubble the moment they saw daylight.

Witnessing this scene, the Demon Race’s morale at the Demon Emperor Lake soared. Whether they were Demon Gods or Demon Kings, as long as any demon from the Sky-Split Race tried to bypass the battlefield and escape, regardless of its realm, tens of thousands of demons immediately pounced on it.

Chen Xie and Weisheng Xingyu, who were watching intently in the Jin Zhi Tower, couldn’t help but marvel in amazement.

"Truly bred by the Sect Leader,"

Chen Xie exclaimed.

"Yes, in less than a year, they’ve been reborn." At some unknown time, another person appeared in the Jin Zhi Tower—it was Long Ke.

Chen Xie and Weisheng Xingyu were startled, quickly turning their heads.

"Elder Long, when did you arrive?"

"Keep watching, don’t mind me." Long Ke, staring at the images on the black wall, reached out with both hands and turned their heads back.

Meanwhile, deep in the chaos, but able to see this scene, the Star Night Demon Ancestor’s anger erupted, roaring continuously at Huaikong.

"Didn’t expect to want to see you all."

After roaring, the Star Night Demon Ancestor spoke in a deep voice and then seemingly gave up, no longer resisting the pull of the devouring power and the chaos power.

But how could the Star Night Demon Ancestor give up?

Huaikong also realized something was off, and while wondering what the Star Night Demon Ancestor intended, it grew closer and closer.

"You plan to gamble life for life!" Huaikong suddenly realized the Star Night Demon Ancestor’s intent, but it was too late.

Just as the devouring power pulled the Star Night Demon Ancestor within a hundred zhang, its mouth spewed a large amount of purple poison, and its tail rose high, striking down just as it was fully caught by the devouring power.

Boom—

With one tail strike, Huaikong’s demon body could no longer stand still, being knocked back a thousand zhang before regaining its stance.

Following closely, the Star Night Demon Ancestor pressed the advantage, continuously spitting poison and battling with powerful force against Huaikong, gambling life for life.

But Huaikong understood.

Continuing like this, he wouldn’t be able to defeat the Star Night Demon Ancestor.

After all, it was a Middle Realm Demon Ancestor, its demon body far stronger than his own.

If this battle continued, when the Star Night Demon Ancestor would just be slightly injured, he would already be severely wounded.

Therefore, after nearly a quarter of an hour of stalemate, Huaikong decided to lure the Star Night Demon Ancestor outside, giving himself a chance to release the Chaos Heaven-Devouring Divine Technique.

But evidently, the Star Night Demon Ancestor saw through Huaikong’s plan.

It stayed glued to Huaikong.

Not giving Huaikong any chance to gain distance and unleash divine techniques.

As time passed, the scales of victory began tilting towards the Star Night Demon Ancestor.

Meanwhile, the battle between Shifeng, the Demon Race of the Demon Emperor Lake, and the Sky-Split Race and its two Demon Ancestors also reached a fever pitch.

The outcome was completely uncertain.

As for the two Lower Realm Demon Ancestors who found their chance to counterattack, although still at a disadvantage, they were now in an intense battle with Shifeng.

The outcome hung by the slimmest of margins.

Who would be injured first!

In the Jin Zhi Tower, the five people watching this scene kept their eyes firmly on the battle displayed on the black wall, not daring to breathe heavily.

Afraid that even a single breath might change the battlefield situation in an instant.

Why five people?

Because Long Yue and Sword Demon had also arrived.

"Don’t lose," Long Yue quietly prayed, thinking if only her strength was sufficient and she had the Sect Leader’s permission, she would have liked to help.

Sword Demon also spoke in a deep voice, "If he is continually stuck like this, gambling life for life without a chance to release divine techniques, Huaikong can only step by step walk towards despair. For this Star Night Demon Ancestor’s demon body has likely cultivated for at least a thousand years, no less than a Middle Realm Demon Ancestor who overcame the Blazing Flame Heaven."

"If Huai Ye knew about Huaikong’s current situation, she’d probably be furious. Sword Demon elder, why don’t you go help?" Long Yue inquired.

Chen Xie quickly interjected, "I think this is a trial the Sect Leader has set for the Demon Race at the Demon Emperor Lake. If we intervene, the Sect Leader would surely deal us each a sword."

"Ah?"

Long Yue was helpless.

"Since that’s the Sect Leader’s intention, we can only watch and wait," Sword Demon withdrew his gaze from Chen Xie, refocusing on the black wall and suppressing the thought of helping, while also secretly pondering how Huaikong’s current strength compared to his own.

Suddenly.

An exclamation rang out.

"It’s bad!"

Chen Xie’s gaze fell upon the scene where the army of Zhe Tian Tower was retreating in full, leaving behind cities that hadn’t fully evacuated, giving them to the Sky-Split Race.

"Has Zhe Tian Tower gone mad?"

"They truly would resort to anything."

Long Yue and Long Ke also spoke in shock.

Chen Xie solemnly added, "That’s not the main point; the main point is, if Zhe Tian Tower fully retreats, it gives the Sky-Split Race a chance to breathe. Then, the situation in the Howling Abyss will reach the ears of the Demon Emperor of the Sky-Split Race, and if he notices the battle in the Howling Abyss, I fear..."

Upon saying this.

Everyone’s expressions became somewhat grim.
