From the waste of spiritual roots to the practice of asking the devil.

Two colossal figures stood atop the Two Realms Mountain. Though their feet were planted on the mountainside, the unique mountain still appeared as delicate and small as a small hill.

The chaotic storm continues to blow.

This caused both bodies to be in a constant cycle of dissolving and regenerating, with massive amounts of blood and flesh turning into a viscous, waxy substance.

It was then washed a second time by the chaotic storm, transforming into the most primal energy.

If this continues, it will come down to who has the most resources and the ability to recover; whoever can't hold on any longer will lose.

Chang Wuhen clearly did not want to fall into a protracted and exhausting battle.

In a certain punch.

Suddenly, a deadly thorn emerged from between his fist and fingers, carrying an incredibly dense aura of death. He used the power of the Dao Fruit of Life and Death Reincarnation to unleash another curse technique at the level of a Great Dao Divine Power.

—The Curse of Death!

This supernatural power was created specifically to imitate the ninth tribulation stage, and even the effects are very similar, hence it is also known as "acting as Heaven's punishment".

In an instant.

Enveloped by the five signs of decay, the Blood Sea Dharma Body immediately became hunched over, but Lu Cangqiong's lips curled up, as if he had finally waited for Chang Wuhen to take the initiative.

Long Yu activated the curse to resolve the death calamity immediately.

The surging killing intent that had been building up in his heart suddenly soared into the sky. From the pillar of blood-red killing intent, a "blood hawk" that looked like a real thing rushed out, surrounded by scarlet smoke, and attacked Chang Wuhen like a hungry ghost from hell.

Seeing this scene.

Wang Yu recognized this move; it was the Blood Beast, a unique secret technique of the Blood Flying Clan!
Despite its unremarkable name, it is a race-restricted ability that can only be used by those who are not of the Blood Fly race. Yet, Lu Cangqiong managed to use it, and the meaning behind it is even more thought-provoking.

The blood beast formed by this secret technique utilized the power of the Slaughtering Dao Fruit to its fullest extent, and like Chang Wuhen, it also reached the level of the six Dao Fruits' divine effects.

Wherever the blood beast passed, even the chaotic storm was conceptually "killed".

The wind stopped, and the situation reversed.

Chang Wuhen could only activate the [Life and Death Reincarnation Dharma Body] to fight the blood beast, but... the usually invincible Life Restoration Technique was greatly reduced in effect.

All the wounds inflicted by the Blood Beast were suppressed by the power of the Slaughter Dao Fruit. Dao Fruit abilities of the same level could not recover at all, and even maintaining the same level was difficult.

Upon seeing this.

A demon cultivator declared.

"With a single divine power, he subdued Chang Wuhen. It is evident that His Highness the First Prince was not serious at all before. He merely chose to feign weakness as a tactic to test all of the opponent's methods."

“Absolutely, absolutely, but… when did the Blood Spirit Royal Family become able to seize the True Spirit Bloodline? Don’t you think Lu Cangqiong’s condition is a bit strange?”

Those demons who dare to come to Liangjie Mountain to watch the battle are either directly related to either side, or are confident in their strength and come specifically to join in the fun, or have other motives.

This demon initially agreed, seemingly siding with the Blood Spirit Royal Family, but subtly pointed out Lu Cangqiong's unusual behavior, almost explicitly telling other demons to be wary of the Blood Spirit Royal Family.

after all.

Since Lu Cangqiong dared to use it openly, he was not afraid of people knowing about his ability to seize bloodlines. However, once this secret technique became popular in the royal family, it would be a disaster.

Those who were originally of average talent, or had problems with their mindset or personality, will all gain the potential to transform into geniuses.

Other races that become powerful due to their bloodlines need to be prepared for danger. True spirit bloodlines are hard to come by, while high-level demon bloodlines or those with special talents are excellent targets.

These words are tantamount to planting a landmine.

This caused the demons watching to fall silent instantly, and some of them began to stare intently at the demon who had spoken, clearly with ill intentions.

Wang Yu did not comment on this.

If it doesn't concern me, I'll mind my own business!

He was more concerned that Chang Wuhen's disadvantage was growing in the blood battle. His life-and-death reincarnation avatar was almost torn apart by the blood beast, but he still hadn't used a trump card that could turn the tide.

Several attempts were made along the way, all of which ended in failure.

In this situation.

Lu Cangqiong finally burst into laughter, showing utter contempt for Chang Wuhen as if he needed to crush him into the mud to gain a sense of accomplishment.

"Chang Wuhen, you've lost?"

The latter, with bloodshot eyes and a snarling grin, kicked the blood beast away and managed to catch his breath.

"Lose? Have you forgotten that this is a life-or-death battle? The victor will take everything from the loser and step over their corpses to face the final Ascension Tribulation!"

Lu Cangqiong snorted coldly.

"Since you desire a swift death, then this prince will grant your wish."

That's all.

A hammer-shaped semi-immortal treasure resembling a golden gourd appeared in his hand. Due to the damage to the Nine Slaughter Swords, he could only use a substitute treasure. This [Heavy Yuan Golden Gourd Hammer] was made using the tree trunk of the World Tree, the Golden Dragon Pearl, the Xuanzhong Stone, and other materials.

It is not a magical treasure in the traditional sense, but a spiritual treasure stolen from other races in the cosmic sea, possessing unique foreign cultural characteristics.

The moment the golden hammer fell, it was as if thousands of giant mountains were pressing down.

Both mountains sank a section amidst a rumbling sound, their power terrifying and their craftsmanship astounding. This was the power unleashed by a ninth-order scattered demon wielding a semi-immortal artifact.

The chaotic storm no longer seemed to pose a threat to the two.

Chang Wuhen suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, his life and death reincarnation Dharma body completely collapsed, his original body fell out, and he suddenly knelt on the ground.

The life force suddenly waned to its lowest point.

"Hahahaha, Chang Wuhen, how can a mere disciple of the Demon Emperor compare to me, who has the entire Blood Spirit Royal Family as my foundation? Today is your death day!"

That's all.

The Blood Sea Dharma Body began to condense, transforming into a size as tall as a person. In this state, Lu Cangqiong's strength was still at its peak, even stronger than when the Dharma Body was enlarged.

After all, the best things come in small packages.

Even after Wang Yu broke through to the ninth level and his Myriad Transformations Chaos Dharma Body was fully formed, it still needed to go through a process of continuously compressing its essence from large to small.

Generally speaking, relying on external forces is sufficient.

While undergoing tribulation.

All goals and requirements will rise rapidly, quickly meeting all the prerequisites for a breakthrough.

Closer to home.

In the battlefield of Liangjie Mountain, as Lu Cangqiong's final hammer fell, Chang Wuhen's lowered head suddenly trembled twice before being crushed into a pulp.

His physical body was destroyed, and his primordial spirit was shattered by the golden hammer.

It felt like facing true death; even the breath of life vanished...

"Hahahahaha!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Lu Cangqiong's arrogant laughter echoed throughout the world. Strangely, neither Chang Wuhen's protectors nor the Fenji Demon Army, which was lurking in the shadows, showed any intention of making a move.

This contradicts Wang Yu's initial reasoning, and he genuinely doesn't want to see Lu Cangqiong win, as this bastard has caused a conflict with him. If he wins, Chang Wuhen will suffer.

Borrowing the other party's luck and the Blood Spirit Royal Family's resources, it wouldn't be surprising if he suddenly passed the Ascension Tribulation and achieved the True Immortal Realm. It would be better for him to die at Chang Wuhen's hands, so that he wouldn't have to find a way to get rid of this fiend in the future.

Staring at the pool of minced meat, Wang Yu's eyes suddenly lit up.

Finally, he smiled.

It's best not to open the champagne prematurely, as the outcome is still uncertain.

At the same time.

With the appearance of "Meatball Version of Chang Wuhen", the demons watching outside the Two Realms Mountain had already begun to celebrate in a huge wave of cheers, with various congratulatory messages being heard endlessly, and a large number of fence-sitters turning to the Blood Spirit Royal Family.

"Congratulations to the First Prince for successfully killing Chang Wuhen, thus enhancing the prestige of our Blood Spirit Royal Family!"

"Congratulations to the First Prince for defeating his formidable enemy!"

"Congratulations, Your Highness!"

"Congratulations, Your Highness! This victory is well-deserved. You will surely rise to great heights and achieve the supreme position of Demon Emperor."

The barrage of praise and compliments even made a seasoned veteran like Lu Cangqiong smirk, savoring the sense of accomplishment that came with this crucial moment in his demonic life.

Just as he was about to collect his spoils.

The situation has changed drastically!
Chang Wuhen's flesh suddenly transformed into two long dragons of flesh and blood, which, under the blessing of the Dao Fruit of Life and Death Reincarnation, turned into a pair of black and white scissors.

With a snap, the blade fell, though it clearly missed Lu Cangqiong.

The latter, however, seemed to have been cut by a pair of scissors, instantly splitting in two. Dense threads formed from the power of life and death appeared in its remains, the instinctive repulsion between life and death causing the remains to become a mess.

Even Lu Cangqiong's primordial spirit was forced out, his body covered in spiderweb-like cracks, constantly overflowing with death energy.

Such a shocking scene left the audience speechless.

Lu Cangqiong himself was also shocked, but Wang Yu saw through it and realized that Chang Wuhen must have used the power of life and death to fake his death.

Regardless of whether his methods are despicable or not, just focus on whether they are effective. The victor is king and the loser is villain; this has always been the case throughout history.

This final, ultimate divine technique—the Life and Death Scissors!

It does have its merits. Even the Yin-Yang Dao Fruit that Wang Yu has mastered possesses dualistic characteristics, so it's not impossible to imitate it and create similar Daoist divine abilities.

The situation reversed again. Just as Lu Cangqiong was about to perish completely under the second scissors, the Blood Spirit Royal Family finally couldn't sit still any longer.

No matter the deathmatch or the agreement, nothing is more valuable than the life of the First Prince, who already enjoys a vast amount of resources provided by the royal family.

It is itself a powerful seed for breaking through to the Demon Emperor realm.

Since we can't use Chang Wuhen as a stepping stone, then so be it. We certainly can't just sit by and watch him die in front of us.

The first to make a move was the Minghe Demon Emperor, who had been secretly watching the battle. Unfortunately, the Fenji Demon Emperor was close to him and was also secretly protecting his beloved disciple.

therefore.

In the blink of an eye, the situation transformed from a battle of prodigies into a battle of demon emperors, with various tribulation-crossing demons and Mahayana demons leaping out to resist the Life and Death Scissors Divine Power.

A chaotic battle broke out in an instant.

Also.

Wang Yu's illusory clone, remaining outside the Purgatory Great World in the Shattered Star Zone, also sensed that the Burning Silence Demon Army had begun to advance at full speed. After a moment's thought, he abandoned the idea of ​​stopping them.

Lou Huan's pseudonym is temporarily suspended.

The battle between the Demon Emperors is not something he can observe up close. He should evacuate the Purgatory Great World first. Even the Great World, which once served as the Demon Emperor's palace, would have difficulty withstanding a battle between Demon Emperors.

This place is too dangerous.

but.

With Wang Yu's methods, leaving without attracting attention would be quite simple; he could retreat immediately.

Using his ability to transform into anything, he first became a cultivator of the Soul Demon Clan.

He casually ambushed and devoured several Mahayana demons from the Blood Spirit Royal Family, then transformed into a Golden Ring Demon on the way to continue ambushing Mahayana cultivators from the Blood Spirit Demon Clan.

Well, the main thing is to have fun.

He'd make up for the time he wasted watching by taking the life of a Blood Spirit cultivator. He wouldn't normally cause trouble, but the Blood Spirit royal family had offended him; they even possessed abilities similar to his own. This was unacceptable! They had to be severely punished!
After killing seven or eight Blood Spirit Demon Clan Mahayana cultivators.

Having eaten his fill and with oil dripping from his mouth, Wang successfully withdrew from the Purgatory World and immediately escaped into the void.

The outcome of this matter will soon spread throughout the entire Origin Demon Realm, so there's no need to guard it at all.

However, if the Blood Spirit Royal Family does not admit defeat, they will lose face. When the majesty of the "gods" is broken by mortals, it will attract countless people who dare to draw their swords against the "gods".

The Blood Spirit Royal Family is not a god, but its years of iron-fisted rule have indeed broken the backbone of many demons, and at this point, its majesty is no longer invincible.

Given the nature of demons, resistance will be inevitable.

Small-scale forces like the Demon Horn Cult can rapidly expand their power to unimaginable levels, possessing no shortage of experts, mid-level forces, or low-level cannon fodder.

With the Demon Emperor Fenji stepping into the limelight, a battle for allegiance among demon emperors is about to begin, and the situation will change again depending on which side they choose.

After Wang Yu left the Purgatory World.

After a moment's thought, he headed towards the [Flame Demon Realm]. There was no other reason; it was time for the alias True Flame King to reappear on the stage of the Origin Demon Realm.

Wang Yu had given this decision, and he had thought it through carefully.

Firstly, when the Second Elder of the Flame Demon Realm had a secret conversation with him, he hinted that returning to the Flame Demon Realm would bring great benefits. Since the outcome was still uncertain, this could only be considered a minor factor.

Secondly, Wang Yu left the Demon Horn Sect because of external pressure from the Heavenly Desolate Demon Army. Although the matter was resolved by three Seven Tribulation Scattered Demons, "True Flame King" has been missing.

He left at that time.

The main reason was that the sect didn't have many resources to attract Wang Yu, and it was also embroiled in trouble, so it was better for him to complete other goals to enter the Demon Realm on his own.

The reason they want to go back now is, of course, because the Demon Emperor is backing them.

The resources and power that attracted Wang Yu seemed contradictory, but in reality, Wang Yu's actions were always centered on his own interests.

Thirdly, the millions of demons in the Immortal Locking Tower, after years of killing and trials, have also cultivated the Lesser Devouring Scripture, absorbing and refining other demons as nourishment.

He also controlled them using the Daoist military method combined with the secret techniques of the Mind Dao, forming an elite demon army of 300,000 men. This force could be released through the hands of the Flame Demon Clan.

Returning to the Flame Demon Realm is like going back to one's mother's home.

Wang Yu could use the sect's name to lure more experts to serve him, thus persuading the Flame Demon Clan's higher-ups to place heavy bets on this side.

Fourth, and most importantly.

According to Wang Yu's understanding, the qualification to comprehend the [Primal Demonic Runes] is firmly controlled by the Blood Spirit Royal Family, and only top-tier demons have the qualification to comprehend it.

Theoretically, the Balrog race also possesses this ability.

It's because they've been targeted so badly over the years that if the Blood Spirit Royal Family and the Demon Horn Cult, who are the main "resistance groups," suffer a great loss, they will try to win over the top demons who were previously targeted and suppressed.

In this way, obtaining the qualification to comprehend the Primal Demonic Pattern Stele became a natural outcome.

This matter is complicated, and the specifics of how to proceed require further consideration, but returning to the Flame Demon Realm is definitely the right strategy! (End of Chapter)
