Beneath the underground realm.

The Shrimp Soldier and Crab General were suddenly startled by Liu Yu’s questioning.

"No... It shouldn’t be, right?"

Yet just at that moment.

Ripples spread through the air, and two extremely powerful presences suddenly arrived near the Array Core.

The Escape Light dispersed, revealing the figures of Supreme Yang and Qin Ming.

"Void Anomaly!!"

"Liu Yu! I have treated you well, why are you doing this? Do you dare to betray the entire Human Race?"

"Have you considered the consequences?"

Supreme Yang extended a large hand, pointing a virtual finger, intending to interrupt the ritual of the three individuals.

Yet a layer of dark and eerie light barrier emerged, enveloping the three individuals inside, astonishingly blocking his Divine Techniques.

Crack!

However, under his grasp, the black barrier also cracked open with a fissure.

But the next moment.

A surge of Demonic Qi burst out from the Array Hub, carrying a filthy force that even made Supreme Yang furrow his brow, promptly using a divine technique to shield himself with a purple light shield.

Qin Ming, on the other hand, not only felt no discomfort from this Demonic Qi, but instead had a sense of being a fish in water.

On the Black Lotus Platform in the Central Palace, the Demon Infant even showed a hint of excitement.

But it still released a Mana Shield, pretending to resist the Demonic Qi.

’The source of this Demonic Qi is only slightly weaker than the Primordial Demonic Qi... I fear a powerful Demon Monarch must have descended.’

As Qin Ming contemplated, he glanced at the ever-expanding Void Anomaly within the Array Hub, which had already reached several dozen feet.

Liu Yu faced the elder who had held him in high regard, showing a complex expression on his face, "I’m sorry, Elder Supreme Yang, Elder Qin."

"I have no way back."

"If you want to blame someone... blame this damned world that led me to meet the Demon Sect members before I met you!"

Supreme Yang’s Nascent Soul mid-stage mana explosively erupted, clearly in great anger.

Bang!

Crack!

A blinding cluster of Golden Light burst forth from his hand, instantly shattering the dark light barrier.

The immense Nascent Soul Spiritual Pressure was unleashed, about to turn the trio before him into dust.

The Shrimp Soldier and Crab General were also extremely terrified, feeling as though death was imminent.

But just at this moment.

A bold and unruly voice boomed from the huge Void Anomaly.

"Hmph! You are not qualified to kill my demon followers and subjects."

An even more violent wave of Demonic Qi surged from the cracked Void Passage, accompanied by a powerful mana pressure.

In an instant, it dispersed the energy emitted by Supreme Yang.

Seeing this, Supreme Yang’s expression turned desolate, swiftly speaking to Qin Ming, "Fellow Daoist Qin, inform the comrades outside for reinforcement immediately."

Qin Ming nodded promptly and sent a message to the Nascent Soul Cultivators outside.

Cold Crow Ascendant and others, who were still observing the dramatic changes on Dragon Abyss Island, suddenly received Qin Ming’s urgent message.

They all exchanged glances and headed toward the depths beneath the circular building without prior agreement.

Bang!

An even more intense tremor shook the place, as the Void Anomaly before Supreme Yang and Qin Ming expanded once more.

Next.

A colossal blood-red palace descended from the Void Anomaly, instantly breaking through the subterranean terrain, crushing everything around into dust.

Seeing such grand momentum, Qin Ming and the others quickly withdrew.

Even the Nascent Soul True Monarchs who had rushed over for assistance dared not take on such power head-on, temporarily avoiding its might.

Moments later, a hundred-foot-tall blood-red palace appeared before everyone.

"Blood Demon Hall!"

"Subordinates welcome Demon Monarch, sire!"

Liu Yu, alongside the Shrimp Soldier and Crab General, bowed to the blood-red palace, their expressions filled with relief and lingering fear from escaping death.

Bang!

Soon after, a flash of black light emitted from the palace, and two extremely powerful figures slowly emerged, their terrifying powers signaling two Mid-stage Nascent Soul Demon Monarchs.

Causing the Nascent Soul Cultivators present to cry out in shock, retreating madly without daring to act rashly. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Among them, one was a tall and sturdy hulk, covered in Demon Patterns, with a fierce countenance.

The other was shrouded in eerie black mist, hiding his face.

The appearance of these two supreme figures from the Blood Realm immediately changed the color of heaven and earth!

But it didn’t end there, as several Nascent Soul Demon Monarchs consecutively emerged from the blood-red palace behind them, joining their ranks.

More terrifyingly, an unending stream of Demonic Qi erupted from the Void Passage, quickly spreading outside Dragon Abyss Island, beginning to taint the outside world.

Cries and wails echoed one after another, as everything contaminated by the Demonic Qi underwent some form of grotesque transformation.

Either perishing instantly, or demonizing into demon creatures, or having their mana completely defiled, assimilated into demonhood, losing all reason.

"Demon Monarch Qishang of the Blood Refining Demon Sect!"

"Six Desires Demon Monarch of the Ghostly Palace!"

The Celestial Sea Alliance’s intelligence naturally had some understanding of the Demon Dao situation.

As strong as Supreme Yang was, facing two Cultivators of the same realm, his expression was more serious than ever before.

A great battle was on the verge of breaking out!

Qin Ming never expected the situation to escalate to this extent; in less than half a cup of tea’s time, Liu Yu, having plotted meticulously, forcefully opened a Void Rift on the island with the grand array on Dragon Abyss Island.

He immediately whispered to Master Jackdaw and True Monarch Dragon Wood, "Fellow Daoists, let’s prepare to find a chance to escape together; Dragon Abyss Island is now polluted with Demonic Qi, it’s over."

"Such a massive Void Anomaly, I fear a Late-stage Nascent Soul Demon Monarch may descend..."

"It’s over... Late-stage Nascent Soul..." Master Jackdaw’s face twitched, his Heart Spirit trembled, almost unable to stand steadily.

He cursed inwardly, lamenting: how come just when things got better for a few days, the doomed days arrived again?

The Nascent Soul Old Monsters present, each with hundreds of years of experience, could easily discern what had to be done in such a situation.

Even if it meant fleeing from battle, Supreme Yang wouldn’t fault them.

If a Late-stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivator appeared, it would be overwhelming for Early-stage and Mid-stage Nascent Souls. Numbers wouldn’t matter; even with Nascent Soul Instant Teleportation techniques, they would be annihilated in an instant, not surviving a second breath...

Qin Ming and the others had just planned their escape when someone had already taken action.

The Nascent Soul Independent Cultivator Elder Huang, without hesitation, used his Body Technique to flee far away.

"Hmph!"

An icy and fierce Divine Thought swept across the void.

The Six Desires Demon Monarch of the Ghostly Palace casually clenched his fingers, and a dark Demon Flame Arrow, a yard long, mysteriously appeared before him.

With a flick of his wrist, the Demon Flame Arrow vanished into the void.

Soon after, a Mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm was deployed, instantly covering an area two miles in radius.

It was notably smaller than Qin Ming’s Nascent Soul Realm.

Qin Ming’s Nascent Soul Realm was refined through insights from the Void Divine Stone.

Caught off guard, Elder Huang crashed into the constricting cage of the Nascent Soul Realm, revealing his embarrassed figure.

"Ah!"

The dark Demon Flame Arrow reemerged in an instant, piercing through his body, dissolving his physical form instantly.

There was absolutely no room for resistance.

A Nascent Soul, with a look of horror, dashed around aimlessly within the Nascent Soul Realm but could not escape.

Whoosh!

The Six Desires Demon Monarch’s dark Demon Flame Arrow flashed again, striking straight into Elder Huang’s Nascent Soul.

Next.

He casually tugged with his withered hand, and a chain, invisible in nature, linked the Demon Flame Arrow and himself, surprisingly pulling back Elder Huang’s Nascent Soul.
