Lu Qingshan devastated nearly half the Black Armor Domain with irreversible desolation, slaughtering its major cities, leading Luohu to abandon it entirely in pursuit of sainthood. At Guangling Pass, the Human Race's fierce counterattack pushed back the Demon army amid blood-soaked battles. Vimozhiduoluo clashed intensely with five Honorable Realm cultivators, unleashing devastating demonic power before retreating and ordering the demons to withdraw through the spatial rift.

Thus, despite the command being issued, the Demon Race army's withdrawal remained far from seamless.

Solely the Asura King, Vimozhiduoluo, surged forward in flight, instantly drawing near the space channel.

Even a figure like Vimozhiduoluo found himself exhaling in relief right then.

—Confronting five Honorable Realm cultivators by himself brought pressure beyond imagination. Though an Asura King, he teetered on the brink of death at any second.

Without his swift choice to forsake the chariot and save the general, further delay would have sealed his doom.

"Luohu, though circumstances forced my hand, I staked my life for you. You must prevail...." Recalling Luohu, concealed somewhere while they bore the assault, Vimozhiduoluo felt irritation surging within.

His form flickered once more, positioning him right before the space crack.

Without the slightest pause, Vimozhiduoluo plunged into the space crack, intent on instant departure.

Right as Vimozhiduoluo believed escape achieved and eased up, a Sword Rainbow erupted from the space crack he saw as salvation, in a way defying all expectation!

Woosh!

The Sword Rainbow, laden with icy killing intent, blazed to utmost brilliance, lighting the entrance in a flash as it smashed into the leaping Vimozhiduoluo.

With a resounding clang, Vimozhiduoluo's frame hurtled back from the space crack's mouth like a snapped kite, blood spraying in its wake.

Utterly unprepared, Vimozhiduoluo suffered grave injury.

The instant after, a figure materialized at the shadowy entrance.

"What a coincidence." Lu Qingshan sighed.

The Heaven and Earth Sword floated before him.

During his return journey, he opted for the Black Armor Domain's space crack over retracing steps, chancing upon the retreating Vimozhiduoluo bound for the Black Armor Domain.

Though the full circumstances eluded him momentarily, he struck regardless.

Lu Qingshan uttered a soft cry, sending the whirling, dancing heavens straight at Vimozhiduoluo.

The Flying Sword clashed with Vimozhiduoluo, yielding a piercing metallic screech that grated the ears.

Yet, regardless of his Divine Demon Body's vaunted toughness, how could it withstand the Heaven and Earth Sword's edge wielded by the present Lu Qingshan?

Following a fleeting clash, cracks spiderwebbed across the demon crystal sheathing Vimozhiduoluo, blood streaming unceasingly.

Terror gripped Vimozhiduoluo.

In one heartbeat, wounds far graver than those from solo battle against five Honorable Realm cultivators afflicted him.

What sheer horror!

Gazing at Lu Qingshan suspended before the space crack, his visage twisted in dread and fury, "You..."

By now, the five Honorable Realm cultivators he had just eluded closed in, nearly upon him.

Tiger ahead, hunters at the rear.

Vimozhiduoluo's scalp crawled with dread.

Lu Qingshan paid no heed to Vimozhiduoluo's turmoil, fanning his fingers to unleash several Sword Rainbows that sealed every path of retreat.

"In every domain, my strength is boundless!" Vimozhiduoluo bellowed, driven to utter frenzy.

He unleashed every ounce of power, even igniting his Essence Blood.

He had forsaken all for survival.

For Vimozhiduoluo sensed Lu Qingshan's dread power—likely Demi-Ancestor Realm—where a mere clash shattered his Divine Demon Body, placing them worlds apart.

Boom!

Upon Dragon Sparrow's blade, endless flames erupted.

The inferno roared savagely, blindingly hot, incinerating all Demonic Qi as churning smoke pierced the heavens.

"Demi-Ancestor, you are surely a Demi-Ancestor......" Vimozhiduoluo paled, his ferocious frame stumbling back anew.

The Essence Blood he burned was bizarrely set ablaze by Dragon Sparrow, wasted without fueling might.

Such prowess Vimozhiduoluo deemed impossible for peers, thus affirming Lu Qingshan's Demi-Ancestor ascent.

Sizzle!

Meanwhile, Lu Qingshan gripped the Demon Suppressing sword and closed the distance.

The Demon Suppressing sword gleamed radiantly, poised to cleave at Vimozhiduoluo.

Its serrated edge stood stark, primed to consume Demonic Qi.

"Ah!" Vimozhiduoluo howled in utter despair, having exhausted every tactic, yet Lu Qingshan proved overwhelmingly dominant with peerless techniques.

In short order, the demon crystals embedded in his body burst apart one after another, crumbling into nothingness, as the Demon Suppressing sword fully devoured the shielding Demonic Qi, blood spraying wildly from his form.

Vimozhiduoluo unleashed endless screams of torment.

Unlike any mighty adversary he had ever faced, Lu Qingshan proved overwhelmingly superior, far exceeding the Honorable Realm and completely dominating him.

Full of reluctance, Vimozhiduoluo once more sacrificed his body to preserve his core, detonating it just before his flesh utterly disintegrated.

A thunderous explosion rang out, and the body's self-detonation sent devastating shockwaves surging outward, compelling the trailing pursuers to pull back and dodge the lethal force for now.

However, Lu Qingshan remained steadfast in place.

The Heaven and Earth Sword arced through the air, manifesting a radiant domain where the weighty earth eagerly absorbed every ounce of the oncoming power.

Lu Qingshan's decisive strike obliterated all of Vimozhiduoluo's desperate hopes for fleeing amid the mayhem; his Primordial Spirit had no path to escape, getting relentlessly hacked by Lu Qingshan's Flying Sword, the searing sword light and keen Sword Intent tormenting him with the excruciating sensation of being vivisected.

As his agonized shrieks hit their zenith, Vimozhiduoluo met his doom on the spot, his Primordial Spirit smashed to pieces.

With that, the reign of the Asura King was brought to a forceful end.

"Your Asura Clan's methods are truly all the same." Lu Qingshan sheathed his sword.

Luohu had taken the identical path upon his defeat.
