The technique that had directly blasted the Heaven-Slaying Demon Emperor away was naturally Xiao Yan's Nine Heavens Extinction Heavenly Flame Eye. However, this time, its power was more than a hundred times stronger than when he'd used it against the Three-Eyed Demon Emperor! Beyond the amplification from Sky Ascension, the primary reason was that he had now fused the Demon Emperor's Eye—acquired from the Three-Eyed Demon Emperor—into the attack.
The fusion of the Ancestral Symbol Eye and the Demon Emperor's Eye, when used to unleash the Nine Heavens Extinction Heavenly Flame Eye, had resulted in a terrifying destructive force that even surpassed Xiao Yan's own expectations. That it had so thoroughly suppressed a late-stage Saint-grade Heavenly Demon Emperor like the Heaven-Slaying Demon Emperor was enough proof. If it had been a typical Heavenly Demon Emperor, they'd have been reduced to ashes on the spot.
However, the backlash from using such power was also far beyond what Xiao Yan could bear. Streams of fresh blood trickled from the corners of his eyes, clearly the cost of unleashing this overwhelming technique. Though having his eyes destroyed wasn't a permanent wound for a Heavenly Sovereign, it was still extremely disadvantageous under the current circumstances.
Just as the Heaven-Slaying Demon Emperor struggled to rise, he sensed an aura of utter destruction locking onto him. He quickly looked up to see an exquisitely beautiful flame lotus quietly spinning in Xiao Yan's palm. Each petal was forged from a unique flame essence, and its brilliance was far more vibrant than any version Xiao Yan had used before.
Unlike the previous Demonic Wrath Flame Lotuses, this one was surrounded not just by flames, but also by strange elemental energies—ice, black holes, lightning—all flickering through its form with an otherworldly aura. Clearly, these were the powers of the Nine Ancestral Symbols, layered atop the flames.
This was the first time since ascending to the Great Thousand World that Xiao Yan had fused all the flames within him to create a true Demonic Wrath Flame Lotus. And this time, he infused it with the power of all nine Ancestral Symbols, pushing its destructive might far beyond even the Eightfold Pagoda.
Under such power, even a genuine Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign would feel a primal terror rising from the depths of their soul. The might of this lotus had already surpassed the level of most of the Thirty-Six Peerless Divine Abilities of the Great Thousand World.
"Go—Demonic Wrath Flame Lotus!" Xiao Yan lifted his hand, and the dazzling lotus hurtled straight toward the Heaven-Slaying Demon Emperor. Even with his formidable strength, the Demon Emperor's face paled. He knew clearly that, in his current state, surviving this lotus might be impossible.
Still, retreat was no longer an option. Dark demonic energy surged wildly around his bone blade, and ghostly illusions began to appear on its surface—souls of Heavenly Sovereigns trapped within the weapon. As they emerged, the blade turned from bone-white to deep blood-red. With a roar, he slashed it down toward the incoming flame lotus.
"Blade Demon Art – Blood Demon Heaven-Cleaving Slash!"
This was the Heaven-Slaying Demon Emperor's strongest technique, and its power was no weaker than any of the Thirty-Six Peerless Divine Abilities. With his strength behind it, this attack could easily cleave even massive continents like the Tianluo Mainland in half. That he now used it defensively showed just how wary he was of Xiao Yan's flame lotus.
Clang!
The sound of the two forces colliding rang out like the shatter of divine metal. Qing Yanjing activated the full defense of her Endless Radiant Body, because she could see it clearly—in the instant of contact, the entire sub-plane around them began to collapse. The energy released by the collision had far exceeded what this space could endure.
A dazzling burst of light followed, and a devastating energy storm swept across everything. After tearing the sub-plane apart, the destruction didn't stop—it surged outward, engulfing dozens of nearby continents in an instant.
This catastrophic storm was centered around a sea of flame, but within it raged lightning, frost, black holes, and other elemental forces. Seen from afar, it resembled a divine calamity. The engulfed continents were completely annihilated, and even Extraterritorial Evil Race members who had reached the Demon Emperor level were incinerated on the spot—let alone the rest.
Back in the Great Thousand Palace, countless people stared dumbfounded at the blinding golden font in the sky. Not long ago, they had just updated the Demon Slaying Points for that mysterious person, which had reached several hundred thousand. And now, before they could even sip their tea, the numbers had skyrocketed again. Conservatively speaking, his Demon Slaying Points were now in the tens of millions—maybe even measured in billions!
Qing Yanjing had the rare fortune of being the only witness to this apocalyptic explosion. Thanks to the dual defenses of the Endless Radiant Body and the Sacred Pagoda, she barely survived the blast. Even so, she was severely injured. Looking at her battered Radiant Body, she couldn't help but wipe cold sweat from her forehead.
'Thank goodness this was just the aftershock… If I hadn't trained the strongest defensive physique in the Great Thousand World… I would've ended up like the others.'
As the storm finally dissipated, two figures emerged in front of Qing Yanjing.
Xiao Yan's condition was clearly terrible—his eyes had been destroyed, and his body was drenched in blood. The explosion had injured him severely.
But the Heaven-Slaying Demon Emperor was in no better shape. Cracks covered his body, and the once-mighty bone blade, forged from the remains of countless Heavenly Sovereigns, was shattered into fragments. Only a hilt remained in his hand. His eyes brimmed with fear—the power of that flame lotus had far surpassed anything he'd imagined.
Pffft!
Just as Qing Yanjing was worrying that the Demon Emperor might lash out again, he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground. After enduring so many high-powered attacks, even someone with late-stage Saint-grade cultivation could no longer hold on.
"Run!" Xiao Yan fumbled into his spatial artifact, stuffing a few pills into his mouth, and shouted toward Qing Yanjing.
Though this entire sub-plane had been destroyed, the teleportation array was still intact. As long as they reached it, they could return to the Great Thousand World.
