In the Forbidden Zone Battlefield, half an hour passed quickly. Just as a towering, majestic figure in the depths of the demonic domain grew clearer and was on the verge of fully awakening, sending the demon gods into tense excitement, Chen Chu, standing at the very front, suddenly smiled.Finally, they're here.

"Welcome your destruction." As soon as Chen Chu's voice fell, every demon god, including Tyretis, whirled around, their expressions turning to horror as they looked toward the rear.

Over six hundred thousand kilometers away, a blazing golden-red beam pierced heaven and earth. The entire world dimmed in its radiance, and it carried a force that made every demon god's heart quail as it struck the entrance of the battlefield.

Boom!

That dreadful breath of power spanned the heavens, slamming into the entrance already drowned in boundless black demonic qi. The world shook from the blow. In an instant, a glowing sphere tens of thousands of kilometers across slowly rose, its radiance blotting out the light of the three suns in the sky.

The intangible destructive power it released tore up continental plates over a hundred thousand kilometers wide, the air filled with the roar of annihilation. The demonic qi that had flooded the forbidden zone's entrance evaporated instantly beneath the searing golden-red brilliance.

Roar!

Amid the chaotic shockwaves that seemed to shatter heaven and earth, a vicious and imperious bellow resounded across the world.

The ground trembled. With each ponderous step that pressed down on every heart, a colossal figure seventy thousand meters tall strode from the explosion's glow. It was a monstrous beast—dragon-like yet not a dragon—wreathed in endless red light that stained the heavens and earth, and exuded a thick, ill-omened aura.

Ludius' eyes went wide with terror, locking onto the ornate feathery horns on either side of the beast's head as he said with a shaky voice, "It's that beast. Its true form has arrived! Be careful! The cunning humans never meant to flee. They were waiting for this beast, waiting for its return!"

Unlike Tyretis and the other demon gods of the six great empires, Ludius had once faced the might of the Destructive Dragon Emperor. The moment it saw the beast's true form, an inexplicable tension gripped its heart, and a profound fear welled from the depths of its soul.

Before the demon gods could react, behind the dark-red colossal beast appeared the shapes of more massive beasts. Eight of them emanated ancient-titan-level auras, dozens more at the titan level, and countless mythical-level colossal beasts.

Framed by these colossal beasts, the Dragon Emperor's already terrifying presence grew even more dreadful. Its crushing mass twisted time and space around it, trapping even light, as though it were a king among colossal beasts descending from the river of time itself.

As the Dragon Emperor arrived, its invisible might blanketing the battlefield, a seemingly inconspicuous Dragon Turtle suddenly let out an excited roar.I'm going to fight fifty of them! Tear apart those demon gods.

The Dragon Turtle's cry shattered the battlefield's fragile calm. The Nine-Headed Magma Dragon, the sixty-thousand-meter Ancient Ray-Beast, the Time Dragon, the Azure-White Colossal Dragon, the Black Qilin, the Midgard Serpent, the White Python, and the locust-like Blade King all roared in unrestrained savagery.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Ancient auras erupted one after another. Led by the seven ancient-titan-level dragon kings and the Blade King, every beast twisted space itself as they charged toward the Purgatory Legions.

Within the surging tide of the beast army, the Silver Colossal Dragon bellowed in excitement,All beasts, charge! The great Saixitia will see rivers of blood today!

The Golden-Blue Colossal Dragon beat its wings, roaring in exhilaration,The great Thorsafi will destroy everything. Kill!

Ghidorah will take on a hundred!

The instant the colossal beast army's roars shook heaven and earth, Heavenly King Zhenwu, holding his black stele in one hand, erupted with a surging aura and let out a long howl. "Our reinforcements have arrived! Everyone, follow me, slaughter every last one of the Purgatory Demons!"

"Attack!" Faerie King Xuntian and the others also moved instantly, charging ferociously at Karotis and the other demon gods.

"Run!" Facing an assault from both front and rear, especially with the true form of a colossal beast radiating genuine true-spirit-level pressure now summoned, every demon god scattered without a second thought, turning into streaks of law light and fleeing in all directions.

The demon kings, great demon kings, and their legions were no longer a concern. So long as the demon gods could escape, then once the Primordial Ancestor descended, victory would still be theirs. These humans and that colossal beast would be doomed.

Boom!

As the demon gods began to flee, the left flank of the demonic domain, which covered six hundred thousand kilometers in length and over a million kilometers in breadth, suddenly collapsed into an empty void over a hundred thousand kilometers wide.

Space there shattered, and in an instant, the dark-red destruction beast appeared, descending directly above Burihadis, ruler of the Arikasa Empire. A dragon claw wrapped in golden-red lightning blotted out the sky.

"No!"

Boom!

The intense blow annihilated the principles of heaven and earth over tens of thousands of kilometers, forming a violent region of chaotic destruction. Burihadis, over fifty thousand meters tall, was instantly blown apart, shattering into countless incomplete chunks of flesh. Dark-red blood rich with immense power gushed forth like a flood, dyeing the world red.

Roar!

A bellow filled with overwhelming pressure shook space-time. Before Burihadis could burn its origin to restore its true form, a massive dark-golden shadow appeared above the zone of destruction, taking the shape of an enormous maw that bit down in one snap.

Crunch!

The entire region, along with Burihadis itself, vanished completely, leaving only a pitch-black void tens of thousands of kilometers across where nothing existed. With the Dragon Emperor's Terminal Dark Devourer, even the usual death phenomenon of a demon god didn't appear.

Sensing Burihadis' aura vanish completely, the fleeing demon gods, now tens of thousands of kilometers away, showed expressions of shock and fear.

"You fools, this is not the strength of something that has just reached the true spirit level!" Tyretis' face twisted with fury and dread.

Had it known this true-spirit-level colossal beast was so terrifying, it would never have entertained the idea of delaying the Primordial Ancestor's revival. It would have fled without hesitation, fled as far as possible, never to return to the Purgatory Demon Clan's territory.

Unfortunately, rage was useless now. As Tyretis roared in anger, it sharply sensed a dreadful, dangerous aura locking onto it. Tens of thousands of kilometers away, the colossal beast had already turned its gaze upon it.

I need to escape immediately, as far as possible!Tyretis' soul trembled. With aboom, it tore open the void, burning its origin as it frantically fled beyond the battlefield. In the blink of an eye, it reached the edge of the still-chaotic shockwave-filled entrance.

The space behind it shattered on a massive scale. The Dragon Emperor's figure, blazing with endless red light, emerged, its speed so great that Tyretis instantly fell into despair. "Impossible, how can you be this fast?!"

Unlike the Purgatory Demon Clan and other cultivation civilizations, colossal beasts evolved through flesh and blood. For ancient-titan-level lifeforms, demon gods could rely on their principle-condensed true forms to travel as intangible matter, allowing them to escape with extreme speed.

While not slowed simply by their size, colossal beasts still generally couldn't match the speed and agility of demon gods or divine kings of the same level. Of course, there were trade-offs. Colossal beasts possessed greater raw battle strength at the same level, their immense forms granting them power above their peers.

Now, however, the Dragon Emperor's displayed speed completely defied common understanding, especially combined with its overwhelming might.

Driven to desperation, Tyretis madly roared, "I'm not that easy to kill! I am destined to reach the realm of the Primordial Ancestor, there is no way I will die here today!"

The vast, dark principles around its body ignited. The arm gripping the Demonic Saber of Darkness burst apart in a spray of flesh, as all its flesh and bloodline power poured into the blade. In an instant, an unimaginably sharp and frenzied power erupted from it, twisting the world.

Boom!

The Dragon Emperor's tail blade, wrapped in the golden-red Chaotic End principle, swept across the heavens, cutting through the world and leaving a pitch-black horizontal cross-section over a hundred thousand kilometers long and tens of thousands of meters thick.

Tyretis froze in the void, now reduced to just part of its heads and two legs. The torso had vanished completely, and the saber in its grip was broken to the hilt.

Tyretis' three heads showed pure unwillingness. The beast's true realm aura was clearly only the late stage ancient titan level, two minor realms below its own semi-true-spirit cultivation, yet before this beast, it had no power to resist.

It was Tyretis, the great demon god unmatched among its peers, whose demonic might had suppressed the Purgatory Clan for thousands of years. With unparalleled talent, it should have reached the level of the Primordial Ancestor centuries ago if not for the shackles of its bloodline.

"I refuse to accept this!" Tyretis roared in madness, its shattered true form erupting in endless dark-red light.

Boom!

It exploded, unleashing the force of an all-out strike magnified dozens of times. Everything within a hundred thousand kilometers was annihilated, and the world was drowned in boundless dark-red radiance. At the instant of self-detonation, endless dark-red light bloomed above the sky. Amid the explosion, a faint dark-red streak shot away at indescribable speed toward the descending Supreme Abyss.

It was Tyretis, reduced to a fragment, escaping after detonating its true form. With the looming threat of death from the Dragon Emperor, Tyretis abandoned most of its power and true form, self-destructing to block the beast's advance. It preserved only a broken true form condensed from abyssal principle and part of its divine soul, rushing into the Supreme Abyss with its power in an attempt to escape.

By doing so, its strength would instantly plummet to the beginning stage of the ancient titan level, and with its true form and divine soul broken, there could potentially never be hope of recovery. However, compared to the fate of being completely devoured by that beast, it was an acceptable price. On top of that, if it could fully sever its ties to the Purgatory bloodline and enter that mysterious Supreme Abyss, there might yet be a sliver of hope.

As a faint joy appeared on the partial faces of Tyretis' remaining true form, plunging headlong into the Supreme Abyss, the Dragon Emperor stood tall at the epicenter of the blast below, radiating a blazing crimson light. However, it paid no attention to the part of Tyretis that had fled. Instead, its golden-red vertical pupils turned coldly toward the space beyond the battlefield.

There, endless black demonic qi rolled like a vast, boundless black beast devouring the land. From the depths of the black mist, an immense, incomparably vast figure slowly rose to its feet. In an instant, a heavy, ferocious, and supremely evil dark aura flooded the entire world. The world dimmed, heaven and earth vast yet plunged into eternal darkness.

The Purgatory Primordial Ancestor had fully awakened.

A cold and imperious voice slowly travelled from the distant horizon. "Tyretis, where are you going?"

Without a sound, everything was shrouded in the dark-red abyssal world. This supreme plane, summoned by the Ancestor, was vast beyond measure, spanning billions of kilometers and overlapping perfectly with the entire dark demonic domain. Or rather, the dark demonic domain was, in essence, part of the Supreme Abyss itself.

A scream rang out across the sky. Tyretis, already within the Supreme Abyss, was seized by an invisible force with a thunderous crash. It was dragged down into the dark-red world below in a streak of dark-red light, swallowed directly by the Primordial Ancestor. Its final thought was an image of an event from thousands of years ago, when the entire world was shrouded in a blood mist formed from splattered gore.

Across the billions of kilometers of the demonic domain's land, within the territories of the eight Purgatory Empires, billions of ordinary true demons, demonized aliens, and demonized colossal beasts inhabiting the mountains and rivers all exploded into blood mist, surging in a great tide toward the colossal figure at the center of the world.

Witnessing the massacre, the demon gods in the battlefield, whose demonic domain had been severed by the Dragon Emperor's breath, were stricken with horror. Only now did they finally understand why Tyretis had wanted to stop Constantine's sacrifice.

The moment it awoke would be the day all true demons and demon gods returned to the Primordial Ancestor.
