High above, tens of thousands of meters in the sky, a sudden and violent battle broke out between demon-god-level beings. The eruption caught everyone off guard, including the demon kings, great demon kings, and heavenly kings, all of whom had been waiting in formation.

"Kill!"

Boom!

Boundless black flames ignited from Deorus, whose cultivation was at the middle stage of the ancient level, and soared into the sky. They scorched the heavens, boiled the seas, and bloomed into a massive, endless black lotus.

At the center of the lotus platform, the power of time spread outward, mysteriously connecting past and future to form a transparent, winding river that extended toward the future.

Boom!

An ominous aura descended. Upon the transparent river of time, a Deorus summoned from the future emerged. This Deorus possessed an aura several times stronger than the original. Black flames burned beneath its feet, shattering the void as it stepped forward. Its presence was utterly terrifying.

This was Derous's bloodline ability. By burning and sacrificing the strength of its own bloodline, it could summon a version of itself from either the past or the future. What was previously an eight-versus-nine demon god-level battlefield immediately became nine versus nine.

The two Deoruses stood high in the sky, surrounded by endless black flames. A devastating pressure radiated from them, strong enough to shatter worlds.

"Qian Tian, today marks the extinction of your race!" The two Deoruses let out a roar that shattered the void. The flames formed from hell's principles surged forward as one Deorus charged at First Councilor Qian Tian and the other at the Celestial King.

Each of the Deoruses held a dark demonic spear entwined with nine dragons. Their principles entangled the weapons, transforming into nine black demonic dragons, each fifty kilometers long, that stretched across the sky.

"You dare come at me with only your true form? You're just seeking death," Qian Tian said coldly as one of the Derouses lunged toward him. As he spoke, a divine wheel of black and white light appeared behind him, shining brilliantly.

Bathed in the light of the the Divine Yin-Yang Wheel, the entire world was split into two realms of Yin and Yang by the power of Qian Tian's principles. Only the massive divine wheel descending from the heavens remained, with Qian Tian standing upon Yin and Yang, holding the power of life and death in his hand.

This was the true strength of First Councilor Qian Tian. The divine wheel he wielded carried the might of a powerful Yin and Yang principle, and he also commanded a high-level principle of life and death.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Divine Ying-Yang Wheel split heaven and earth and shattered the demonic dragons amid violent and ferocious roars.

Boom!

The golden-white divine wheel didn't slow down, striking Derous's demonic spear. The clash was like two worlds colliding, unleashing an earth-shattering roar.

As the two forces clashed, a black-and-gold shockwave exploded outward, sweeping across thousands of kilometers at the speed of light. Wherever it passed, the laws of heaven and earth unraveled, and all things were annihilated.

At the center of the blast, Deorus let out a muffled groan. It was struck by the overwhelming surge of Yin and Yang destruction, along with the alternating forces of life and death. The impact forced its body downward, and the scales on both arms shattered.

Even though Deorus was at the same cultivation level as Qian Tian, it was still at a disadvantage. As the strongest human cultivator, Qian Tian once needed two demon gods to work together just to hold him back. This was why Qian Tian said Derous was seeking death. Even if it wielded a high-grade pseudo-world-level weapon in hand, the result would have been the same.

At the same time, the Celestial King faced the other Deorus, the one from the future. Twelve pairs of wings flared open behind him, radiating boundless light that formed a heavenly kingdom around him.

"So, I've been underestimated," he remarked. "Well, let the Seal of God be your judge."

A towering figure thousands of meters tall slowly rose behind him, gathering all of the light of the heavenly kingdom in one hand and bringing it down in a mighty strike. In that instant, a hymn of devotion to the light echoed through the void. It sounded as though countless beings across infinite worlds and timelines were singing praises to the supreme radiance.

Bang!

The Celestial King's Seal of God clashed with Deorus's vast, dark-red abyssal world. The entire sky trembled violently, and countless shattered spatial fragments scattered in every direction, unleashing a space storm that swept across tens of thousands of kilometers.

As the destructive shockwave swept downward, the unseen principles governing heaven and earth steadily weakened it. After traveling a thousand kilometers, it faded completely. Even so, the horrifying, formless energy fluctuations that still radiated outward stunned the demon kings and heavenly kings below. That single exchange had both sides evenly matched.

When Deorus made its move, the other seven demon gods also launched their attacks without hesitation. Kaodes, in its true form as a ten-thousand-meter-long black demonic dragon, let out a roar that echoed like that of an ancient colossal beast. It then lunged at the Primordial King, who held a massive, spiked club.

The immense power of Kaodes' true form tore the fabric of space apart layer by layer. Waves of black destructive shockwaves burst forth, sweeping across the heavens and the earth.

Roar!

The Primordial King, who was in the form of an Eight-Armed Rampage Ape, let out a savage roar. Four of his arms lifted high, while the other four formed seals with their hands. "Kaodes, do you really think I'm still the same as before?"

Among the three councilors, the Primordial King had always been the weakest, having only recently broken through to the middle stage of the ancient level. Back when he and the Celestial King were stationed at the Abyssal Battlefield, he had fought Kaodes many times. Their strength was nearly equal, neither able to gain the upper hand.

However, today was different. The Primordial King now possessed a complete ancient divine weapon.

Boom!

The principle world around the still-wounded demonic dragon collapsed under the crushing force of the Primordial King's world-shattering spiked club. One of its right claws broke off, forcing out a pained shriek.

Meanwhile, the Golden-Winged Divine King Tolstoy, the strongest among the three Heavenly Feathered divine kings, charged toward the heavily injured Belitir, who held a pseudo-world-level weapon. Below them, hundreds of millions of true demons, demon kings, and great demon kings channeled their shared power into Belitir, causing its aura to surge severalfold.

Another Golden-Winged Divine King, Teristei, who was at the beginning stage of the ancient level, faced off against the equally injured Ludius, who held a racial weapon from an alien race in the form of an ancient blade.

Livedes, a demon god from the Ancestral Court, appeared before Segovia, the Divine King of Light Wings. Behind Livedes were towering black-and-red gates that stretched into the clouds, wrapped with countless howling figures from alien races. Heavenly King Zhenwu, holding a black stone stele, was matched against Stephenel, who hailed from the Arikasa Empire.

"You actually want to come at me. Are you not afraid of death?" Seated high upon a golden divine throne, Tarodell stared indifferently at the late-stage demon god in the distance.

Surrounded by terrifying blood-colored light that distorted space and time and gave rise to its Abyssal Blood Purgatory, Sigitiko slowly opened its mouth, saying in a low and deep voice, "You're nothing but a coward hiding in your divine region, yet you dare to speak so boldly."

Compared to other demon gods, whose true forms had three heads and twelve to even eighteen arms, Sigitiko's true form stood over eighteen thousand meters tall. It appeared relatively normal, with only one head and two arms.

Its entire body was covered in thick blood-red scale armor. Sharp barbs protruded from its arm and leg joints, as well as its shoulders. A row of bone spikes lined its back, stretching all the way to the tip of a tail that resembled a dragon's.

Its head was encased in blood-colored bone armor, with a pair of straight, spiraling dragon horns jutting upward. Its blood-red hair flared wildly like flames, adding to its terrifying appearance.

What made Sigitiko even more terrifying was the aura it exuded. Though it had yet to make a move, the invisible pressure it radiated instinctively forced nearby demon gods and divine kings in battle to keep their distance.

"You piece of trash. All these years, this is the first time someone has dared to call me a coward." With a calm voice, the silver-haired youth with a third eye on his forehead slowly rose from the golden throne.

An overwhelming pressure spread across the heavens and the earth. Boundless golden light swept through the sky, transforming everything it touched, including laws, principles, energy, and matter itself, into radiant golden hues.

Even the Abyssal Blood Purgatory surrounding Sigitiko, which had covered a thousand kilometers, was gradually corroded by Tarodell's overwhelming golden principle and began to take on a golden hue.

Sigitiko's eyes narrowed.What kind of principle power is this? It's so overbearing that it's forcibly overriding even my advanced Abyssal Blood Purgatory principle. As expected, this is a powerful individual.

Sigitiko bore a serious expression as blood-red dragon scales spread across its thick arms. In the blink of an eye, they transformed into two massive dragon-slaying blades, each twenty thousand meters long and engraved with countless eerie, blood-colored demonic runes.

Roar!

As the massive blades appeared, a fierce and savage roar echoed through the heavens and earth. In an instant, a true Blood Sea Purgatory descended upon the battlefield. As a top-level demon god who had destroyed countless civilizations and alien races, Sigitiko naturally would not underestimate any opponent.

Standing in the golden world, the three-eyed youth watched with a cold gaze. "A true abyss, forged into a weapon and only one step away from advancing to the next level... So this is where your confidence to challenge me comes from? This alone is not enough."

Boom!

The sky collapsed and the earth cracked open as a vast golden palm descended from above, blocking out the sun as the void collapsed and the world trembled. Even the principles of heaven and earth were suppressed by the immense power within the palm. Its might was absolute and unstoppable.

The sheer power of the attack sent a wave of unease through Deorus, Qian Tian, and the others, even though they were locked in battle tens of thousands of kilometers away. The Celestial King and the Primordial King, seeing Tarodell take action for the first time in many years, were visibly shocked by the power he displayed.

Roar!

Confronted by the palm that threatened to suppress all of heaven, the blood-colored light of the Abyssal Blood Purgatory surged with intensity. Two saber lights burst into the sky like blood dragons, releasing a razor-sharp aura and overwhelming draconic power.

Boom!

The two blood-red saber lights, each stretching one hundred thousand meters, crossed in the air and slashed down on the falling golden palm. The collision unleashed a thunderous shockwave that shook the heavens and earth.

Between the saber lights and the golden palm, rings of dazzling light burst outward again and again. The saber lights shattered one after another, while cracks slowly spread across the surface of the golden palm.

Roar!

Sigitiko let out a furious roar as a terrifying blood-red light erupted from its body. Power surged through its arms. With a thunderous crash, the golden palm was completely destroyed.

The erupting principle power sent golden shockwaves rippling outward in rings, shaking the world across tens of thousands of kilometers with immense force. As golden light filled the sky, Sigitiko, cloaked in blood-red energy, let out a savage roar and charged toward Tarodell, who stood with a golden temple in his hand.

A battle erupted between the two strongest figures. In the same moment, Chen Chu was targeted by Aidibaden, a demon god from the Arikasa Empire.

While the other demon gods fought opponents at the same level, Aidibaden, who was at the beginning stage of the ancient level, chose to engage Chen Chu, who was only at the middle stage of the heavenly king level. However, Chen Chu carried a pressure comparable to that of an ordinary demon god.

At first glance, it appeared to be a fair fight. The demon gods were fighting in a straightforward manner, without strategic mismatches or dirty tricks. However, just as Aidibaden appeared a thousand kilometers from Chen Chu, a cold voice, like a venomous serpent, rang out across the heavens and earth.

"Human, go die."

Boom!

Behind the demon god, five of the forbidden weapons held in its fourteen arms erupted at once. These were powerful racial weapons from alien races, and in an instant, beams of light lit up the entire world.

As a jade-colored mirror combusted and exploded, it released transparent jade-colored ripples that tore through space and enveloped Chen Chu. They immediately sealed the heavens, cut off the earth, and froze all of the power within Chen Chu. It was as if his strength had been wiped away, completely beyond his control. Whether it was his supreme embryonic principle, his divine abilities, or even his space-time summoning secret art, none of them could be activated.

Another weapon, a black, bone-like horn, detonated, and a phantom of a black demon head appeared. It looked as if it could devour the sky and swallow the earth. It let out a soul-shaking roar, powerful enough to shake even a demon god to their core, and Chen Chu's divine soul, which had already fused with his true form, trembled violently. He was unable to control or summon the power within him.

Around Chen Chu, the space within a hundred-kilometer radius was sliced apart by countless azure-colored principle sequence chains that appeared out of thin air, forming an incredibly durable cube. Chen Chu, along with that section of space, was frozen in place like an insect trapped in amber, solidified by the racial weapon's explosion.

At the same time, a twisted, translucent, black shockwave swept across heaven and earth. Within its reflection, phantoms appeared on Derous and the other seven demon gods, causing them to suddenly turn around.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The eight demon gods unleashed attacks with full force. Their destructive power tore through space and time, completely surrounding Chen Chu from all directions.

At that very moment, Sigitiko, who had been fighting Tarodell, vanished and reappeared near Chen Chu. Meanwhile, Aidibaden, who had just detonated three forbidden weapons comparable to pseudo-world-level weapons and two racial weapons from alien races, now appeared in front of Tarodell, thanks to the final weapon.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, and all of these powerful attacks had one target: Chen Chu. Sigitiko had never truly intended to fight Tarodell. That clash was only a distraction; its real target was Chen Chu.

No one thought that the demon gods would hold such intense killing intent toward Chen Chu. They wanted to kill him so bad that they self-detonated forbidden weapons and burned their racial weapons just to launch a killing blow.

"Deorus, are you all seeking death?" In an instant, Qian Tian and the others erupted with fury. Bursts of principle light exploded from within them, striking Deorus and the other demon gods, who were momentarily stunned by the phantoms in the reflection. Blood sprayed from their mouths as they were hit, while Qian Tian and the others turned into streaks of light and rushed toward Chen Chu.

It was already too late.

Boom!

The blood-red saber lights that slashed across the world, combined with the joint attack of the seven demon gods, shattered the solidified space around Chen Chu and caused it to explode. The force was so overwhelming that it pierced a hole in the sky over four thousand kilometers wide. An indescribable aura of destruction filled the void.

The devastating power tore through heaven and earth, forming a massive black-and-red beam of energy entangled with eight different principles. The beam, a thousand kilometers wide, descended from the sky and struck the center of the battlefield.

In that moment, the heavens collapsed, and the earth split apart. The ground within ten thousand kilometers was completely shattered.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Countless pieces of earth and shattered stone were blasted into the sky by the rapidly expanding waves of destructive light, soaring thousands of kilometers high. Clouds of dust billowed, and shockwaves rippled outward, shaking the land and sky with overwhelming intensity. All of the kings and demon kings on both sides exchanged looks of concern. Around Gabriel and the others, the light of their law-bound worlds flared brightly.

"Watch out!"

"We can't hold this back. Protect the formations behind us!"

"Chen Chu!" Sensing the fading life aura within the destruction zone, the supreme powerhouses were stunned. They couldn't believe that Chen Chu had just fallen like that, when he had just confidently declared that he would slay at least half of the demon gods. At the same time, the demon gods' ruthless decisiveness, along with their endless arsenal of forbidden and racial weapons, shocked everyone.

Even Chen Chu himself, located over twenty thousand kilometers away, had a grave look in his eyes as he watched that single strike destroy the temporal true form.

"Good thing I sensed the danger and made preparations in advance." Chen Chu's gaze fell on Sigitiko, and a brilliant blue light flared from the back of his left hand.

A roar filled with overwhelming majesty echoed across heaven and earth.
