Elvaria and Tuo Fan Yi, who saw the burst of energy, immediately rushed toward the source. At the same time, the Demon King slowly descended from the sky, walking coldly toward Zeiron. Zeiron's height rose to 185 cm.
They stared into each other's eyes—the Demon King was astonished by Zeiron's terrifying new form. With mere intent alone, Zeiron's presence could kill. In that monstrous voice, Zeiron said, "What is the true meaning of my existence?"
Zeiron instantly attacked the Demon King, turning his arm into a different form of the Universe Sword. The Demon King dodged each strike and countered with his fist, clashing against the sword.
Zeiron was thrown back but quickly rose, leaping again toward the Demon King and unleashing the One Million Light Slashes. The Demon King responded with the Golden Defense Technique.
Their attacks collided fiercely until the Demon King unleashed Uzaic Fist, his hand covered in dark energy. The punch struck Zeiron's stomach, blasting a hole through it. Yet, the wound regenerated like a parasitic growth, rejoining as if nothing had happened.
The Demon King muttered, "He can regenerate. I must finish this quickly." He leapt toward Zeiron, who had just risen to his knees, grabbed his head, and slammed him into the ground—the earth rippled like a trampoline, followed by a massive explosion, flinging debris into the air.
Then the Demon King leaped high above, releasing a technique that summoned the hands of demonic entities. He clenched his fists and threw a colossal punch downward—but suddenly, Zeiron used Three Heavenly Steps, shifting instantly to the Demon King's right side, staring at him menacingly. The Demon King's eyes darted sideways just as Zeiron slashed at his face and kicked him, sending him crashing into the cracked cliff wall left from Xie We Shu's explosion.
Zeiron used another Heavenly Step, releasing the Three-Dimensional Rotating Technique, expanding its scale massively and hurling it toward the Demon King. A nuclear-scale explosion erupted. The Demon King summoned his Golden Defense again, but it shattered, throwing him skyward.
Zeiron took another Heavenly Step, appearing above him and throwing a power-concentrated punch, focusing every muscle into his fist. The blow struck the Demon King's face, sending him crashing back to the ground. Rising slowly, blood dripping from his mouth, the Demon King smirked: "Good… good… I did not misjudge you."
He leapt at Zeiron, summoning the Demonic Entity Barrier Fist, forming countless formations surrounding Zeiron, each releasing hundreds of demonic punches in one direction. The attack struck Zeiron with immense speed and repetition. He could not regenerate—only his torso and head remained.
At that moment, Tuo Fan Yi arrived, merging with his Qirin Dragon, creating a sword of Qirin scales. He summoned a technique that enlarged the sword from the heavens, releasing it toward the Demon King. The Demon King caught the blow with both hands, but the Qirin Sword severed his left arm. He fell to the ground.
Tuo Fan Yi continued his attack, forming the Yin and Yang Technique in blue and yellow. The formations orbited the Qirin Yin-Yang Core, channeling white energy into its center, forming a sphere of lightning-like divine energy. He released it like thunder, striking the Demon King—but suddenly, both Hands of the Demon King appeared, blocking the strike.
The Left Hand roared, "How dare you harm our king!"The Right Hand shouted, "You are unworthy to touch him!"
They coordinated—Left attacking from the left, Right from the right—unleashing the Hellfire Pagoda, trapping Tuo Fan Yi inside. They then formed the Six Hell Steps, shaping triangles with their fingers and raising them skyward, summoning a burning formation. The pagoda became a furnace, and the Six Steps the flames, igniting it with black fire.
Inside, Tuo Fan Yi shed his armor and wings, spinning them rapidly to deflect the burning heat. Then he invoked the Qirin Condention, creating a Qirin sawblade, empowered with Qirin armor, grinding the furnace until it exploded.
Afterward, Tuo Fan Yi used the Qirin Condention again, slicing the Left Hand of the Demon King into pieces, then attacking the Right Hand—who resisted, but was ultimately torn apart as well.
However, the technique drained Tuo Fan Yi, leaving him exhausted. The Demon King had already regrown his severed arm, leaping swiftly at Tuo Fan Yi, pummeling and kicking him repeatedly. Tuo Fan Yi was thrown violently, cracking the ground beneath him.
The Demon King drew his sword, Lucifer, unleashing the Soul Death Slash, capable of obliterating any soul it struck. Just before it hit, Zeiron leapt forward, throwing an immensely powerful punch that collided with the attack, producing a massive energy laser.
The Demon King raised his Ancient Behemoth Barrier, but it barely held—the attack tore through, shredding the Demon King's body apart. The explosion equaled ten nuclear bombs, like an asteroid strike upon the earth.
Before the explosion could consume everything, Zeiron summoned three dimensional cubes, trapping the Demon King inside to contain the blast. The impact was reduced to roughly five nuclear-scale explosions, detonating in the sky.
Afterward, Tuo Fan Yi rose, body shattered—ribs, arms, and fingers broken. Zeiron stepped forward and punched him hard in the chest. Tuo Fan Yi's heart stopped—but the Qirin replaced it, reviving him.
Seeing him alive, Zeiron leapt again, grabbing his throat with his left hand and lifting him.Tuo Fan Yi gasped, "Zeiron… wake up! Zeiron! Zeiron!!"
Zeiron smashed his face with a devastating right punch, causing fatal brain damage. Tuo Fan Yi's body went limp; Zeiron threw the corpse against a boulder, bones breaking like a doll's.
Elvaria arrived too late, having fought other demons. Upon seeing Zeiron strangling and tossing her brother's corpse, her eyes trembled with tears. They stared at each other from afar. Zeiron used Three Heavenly Steps, instantly appearing before her. Elvaria fell to the ground, trembling as Zeiron gazed upon her like a lion watching its prey.
Zeiron grabbed her neck, lifting her off the ground.Elvaria begged, "Zeiron… don't! Please, wake up, Zeiron!" Tears streamed down as she clutched his arm, gasping for breath.
Zeiron tightened his grip.Elvaria cried, "Zeiron!! Don't—please don't choke me!" sobbing through the pain and suffocation.
Zeiron continued to strangle her until… her neck snapped, and Elvaria died in Zeiron's hands. Her body went limp—suddenly, the emerald energy within Elvaria resonated with Zeiron, flowing through his right hand into his chest, piercing his heart and merging inside.
Instantly, Zeiron's true consciousness awakened, realizing Elvaria's lifeless body lay in his hands. Even in his monstrous form, tears fell from his eyes. He released her, and her body dropped to the ground. Half of Zeiron's transformation faded—his left face human, the other still the Third Evolution Satan King.
He looked around, saw Tuo Fan Yi's corpse, and whispered to himself, "W-what… happened to me?"
Fighting back tears, he knelt beside Elvaria, lifted her head gently by the chin, and pleaded, "Please… live again…" His tears fell upon her face.He screamed louder, "I beg you, live again!!!", as the dark, barren sky thundered.
Zeiron whispered again, "Someone… please…"
Suddenly, Zeiron's consciousness shifted, and he found himself in the same dark throne realm, still holding Elvaria's body.
A dark entity appeared before him, saying, "You're such trouble…"Zeiron laid Elvaria's head down and stepped forward, kneeling. "Please… save Elvaria. I'll trade my life for hers!"
The entity replied, "Good. That is the resolve and ambition of a true warrior. You are my heir—I will help you."But then it added, "However… why does your body contain both the holy energy of the Ancient Realm King and my demonic power?"
Zeiron asked, "What do you mean? Is it the emerald energy inside me?"The entity nodded.Zeiron continued, "It may have merged with my father's energy when I prayed at his grave. He passed it to me as a birthday gift."
The entity thought silently, "His father… possesses that energy? Could he have the Sacred Body of the Ancient Realm King?"
Then it said, "Very well. But I cannot return a soul to a broken body."Zeiron pleaded, "Then find another way to save her!"
The dark entity replied, "There is only one way."Zeiron, surprised, asked, "W-what way?"
It answered, "By dividing your core energy into Elvaria's body and reincarnating you both together."Zeiron's eyes widened. "Reincarnation?" He turned to look at Elvaria.
The entity nodded. "Do not worry—you and she will be reborn in the same world, but in different bodies."Zeiron said, "Then do it. Now."
He lay beside Elvaria as the entity raised its right hand, creating the Formation of Living Reincarnation—a glowing golden-white circle. Zeiron's emerald energy rose from his body, splitting into two.
Half entered Elvaria's body. The entity then created a space-time transfer formation.
A vast hexagonal dimension filled with three-dimensional cubes appeared, with a rotating time clock at its center. The reincarnation formation collided and merged with them, surrounding Zeiron and Elvaria.
A brilliant light engulfed them—they entered a wormhole across space and time. Elvaria's body tossed like a wave, and Zeiron chased after her, catching her midstream.
He held her tightly as a radiant light appeared ahead. As they approached, spatial friction tore at their bodies, wounding them. The violent time currents struck Zeiron; he fought against them, barely managing to resist, but the temporal storm grew stronger, tearing Elvaria from his arms.
Finally, both of them entered the light.
