The massive flame beam from the Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler descended like a meteor from the sky. The instant it hit the ground, it transformed the surrounding hundreds of thousands of miles into a scorching sea of fire. Countless members of the Extraterritorial Evil Race were engulfed in flames and incinerated instantly. With Xiao Yan's current strength and his strengthened ruler technique, he could very well burn the entire continent to ashes if he so wished.
At the same time, the previously dormant Demon-Slaying Stele in the Great Thousand Palace began flashing once more. The name that had been silent for over a month flickered violently. All the other Demon Slayers who saw it were struck speechless. After all, a month ago, they had watched in disbelief as that same name soared in rank from Low-grade Demon Slayer to Demon Slayer King within mere minutes.
However, ever since that surge, the name had vanished from activity. No one in the Saint Abyss Continent had seen or heard of this "Xiao Yan" since. Many had speculated he had fallen into the hands of the Extraterritorial Evil Race. Some had even felt regret at the loss.
A month's time was enough for most to forget a name that had flared and vanished so quickly. But now, that name was active again—and the fluctuations were even more terrifying than before. This inevitably led to one thought in everyone's minds: 'Just what kind of havoc is he causing this time?'
After unleashing that devastating blow, Xiao Yan didn't pause. He took Qing Yanjing with him and tore through the sea of fire, darting forward at full speed. Along the way, several Evil Race members who'd barely survived the initial firestorm tried to intercept him. But before they could even act, they were reduced to ash by the violent energy storms radiating from Xiao Yan's body.
However, this rampage didn't last long. Soon, several formidable auras erupted from the other end of the continent. A dozen figures shot forth from different corners of the firestorm and quickly surrounded Xiao Yan. Each of them radiated strength far beyond those previously slain—every single one was a Perfected Earth Sovereign.
"Heaven had a path, and you didn't take it. Hell had no gate, and you forced your way in! Boy, I don't care where you came from—today, you'll die here by my hand!" the leader bellowed in fury. A tidal wave of demonic energy burst from their bodies and coalesced mid-air into a massive demonic blade that came slashing down at Xiao Yan with earth-shattering force.
This lower realm continent was ruled by a faction known as the Blade Demon Clan. Their hallmark ability allowed them to morph their arms freely into razor-sharp demonic blades.
This joint attack from over a dozen Perfected Earth Sovereigns was no joke. If it were anyone else of the same realm, they would likely be killed on the spot. But Xiao Yan wasn't ordinary—he was no longer a Perfected Earth Sovereign. He was a true Heavenly Sovereign.
So when he saw the monstrous blade descending upon him, he merely sneered. A torrent of dazzling flame burst from his body and formed into a colossal fire dragon. It roared as it surged upward to meet the descending blade.
"Just the likes of you? Get lost!"
"Boom!"
The World-Destroying Flame Dragon Art collided head-on with the demonic weapon. The black blade shattered instantly. Seeing their combined attack destroyed in a single strike, those dozen Evil Race experts paled. But before they could even attempt to flee, the majestic fire dragon surged forward like a lightning storm and annihilated them all in an instant.
Having cleared another wave of enemies, Xiao Yan didn't slow down. He continued charging forward. This path of destruction wasn't merely to vent frustration—he had detected the presence of a dimensional teleportation array within the continent. This array, established by the Extraterritorial Evil Race for their planned invasion of the Great Thousand World, was Xiao Yan's true target.
It represented their only known means of return.
But just as he was about to reach it, another roadblock appeared. Not long after Xiao Yan had incinerated the previous group, three towering figures loomed into his path. Their aura was more oppressive than even the Demon Emperors they had encountered when they first broke through to the Heavenly Sovereign level. The leader among them radiated even more power than the Three-Eyed Demon Emperor from before.
This was no lesser Demon Emperor—this was a true Profound Demon Emperor!
"So, you're from the Great Thousand World. No wonder you're so arrogant. But this is as far as you go." With his profound strength, the Profound Demon Emperor instantly recognized the incompatible spiritual energy coursing through Xiao Yan and Qing Yanjing, unlike the demonic qi of his kin. With a cold snort, he slashed his arm through the air, ripping the space itself and bringing down a devastating strike upon them.
Facing the terrifying attack, Xiao Yan showed no signs of backing down. Clenching his fist, he countered with a burning punch wrapped in flame and devastating force, colliding directly with the incoming blow.
"Bang!"
A muffled boom erupted as the two forces collided. The shockwave tore across the skies, scattering the fire that still raged for tens of thousands of miles. Any Evil Race expert below the Perfected Earth Sovereign level within that range was obliterated. Even those at the peak of Earth Sovereign level were thrown back, coughing blood.
The two forces separated on impact. Xiao Yan staggered back a dozen steps before he could stabilize himself. The Profound Demon Emperor, however, had only retreated two or three steps. It was clear—Xiao Yan had been forced into a disadvantage.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan frowned slightly. 'As expected of a Profound Demon Emperor... This level of power truly is formidable.'
But the Profound Demon Emperor was even more shocked. His strength was a full tier above Xiao Yan's. Under normal circumstances, he should have been able to seriously injure a lower-tier Immortal-grade Heavenly Sovereign with a single blow. Yet Xiao Yan had blocked it—without using any battle techniques—and had done so without injury.
'If this brat advances to the Immortal-grade... even someone on my level might not last a few exchanges. If we let him return to the Great Thousand World, he'll definitely become a threat. There's no telling if he'll grow into another Immortal Emperor!'
With that thought, killing intent flooded the Profound Demon Emperor's heart. No matter what, Xiao Yan had to die here today. He was still only an Immortal-grade Heavenly Sovereign. If he was eliminated now, he'd never have the chance to grow into a calamity for the Extraterritorial Evil Race.
