Facing thirteen Demon Emperors, only two of them posed any real threat—the two Heavenly Demon Emperors who had appeared first.
Their strength rivaled that of two Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereigns.
Yet Liu Xi remained fearless. Even before breaking into Saint Grade Physique, he could suppress Saints. Now that he had achieved a Saint Grade Physique, suppressing two ordinary Heavenly Demon Emperors…
It wasn't all that difficult.
After all, among Demon Emperors, there were vast differences—even a divide between ordinary Demon Emperors and the ancient ones.
Some Demon Emperors had survived since the ancient era. Their terrifying power and accumulation of strength were unfathomable—ordinary Demon Emperors could never compare.
The two before him were clearly ordinary Heavenly Demon Emperors. With Liu Xi's eyes, he could tell instantly—they didn't give him the slightest feeling of being undefeatable.
What was truly frightening was not these two…
But the ancient Heavenly Demon Emperors, hidden behind them, slumbering since the ancient era.
A glance from the corner of his eye showed Qin Tian and the others entering the Sacred Abyss Continent. With that…
Liu Xi no longer needed to hold back.
His gaze turned, sweeping across the thirteen Demon Emperors—especially the two Heavenly Demon Emperors—and he suddenly laughed.
"I wonder… once I slaughter all of you today, will the extraterritorial fiends regret making this plan?"
"Impudent!"
"Presumptuous fool!"
The two Heavenly Demon Emperors roared in anger, their demonic flames blazing higher. A mere Immortal Grade expert stood alone before them, claiming he would slaughter them—how could they not rage?
Liu Xi shrugged.
"Just two Heavenly Demon Emperors. Is killing you really that hard?"
"One more word and this emperor will tear you apart!"
A Heavenly Demon Emperor wreathed in corpse energy glared at him murderously.
"The same goes for me!"
The other snarled furiously as violent Demonic Energy whirled around him, turning into a storm that shook the void.
The raging Demonic Energy gathered, twisting into a massive demonic beast—baring its fangs, claws outstretched, a monstrous maw gaping open as it lunged toward Liu Xi.
Liu Xi flicked his sleeves.
Chaotic Spiritual Energy surged forth, sweeping across the void and encircling the demonic beast from all directions.
Then it ignited.
Terrifying azure flames erupted across tens of thousands of miles, burning so fiercely it felt as if they could incinerate the heavens.
The demonic beast writhed within the azure inferno. It spat out torrents of Demonic Energy—but every last wisp was consumed instantly.
In the end, the beast itself crumbled into ashes and disappeared within the blazing sea.
The azure flames did not fade. They spread outward, surging toward the surrounding demonic miasma, as though purging the void itself.
The ordinary Demon Emperors recoiled in terror, retreating quickly. Only the two Heavenly Demon Emperors held their ground—faces grim, but without fear.
"Demonic Gale Annihilation!"
One of the Heavenly Demon Emperors unleashed a storm of Demonic Energy that transformed into a colossal tornado spanning tens of thousands of miles, swallowing everything in its path.
The azure flames were ripped apart, but extinguishing an ocean of flame of that magnitude wasn't so easy.
"This Immortal Grade brat… is strange. That flame is no weaker than the Flame Heavenly Demon Emperor's."
The other Heavenly Demon Emperor frowned, faintly unnerved.
"Sea of Corpses and Blood!"
The second Heavenly Demon Emperor unleashed a tide of Demonic Energy, forming a vast ocean of corpses—a wailing, howling abyss of death.
The corpse sea crashed into the azure sea of flames. Hissing echoed across the void.
Both forces were annihilated together.
Liu Xi acted instantly.
Behind him, endless Chaotic Light surged. A colossal figure stepped out—clad in a robe of azure fire, radiating an eternal, undying aura.
"Azure Lotus Undying Body."
Liu Xi merged with the avatar. The giant figure came alive—brilliant gold light bursting from its form like golden armor forged by the heavens themselves. Waves of power rippled outward, shaking the void.
Against two Heavenly Demon Emperors, Liu Xi showed utter contempt in spirit—but absolute seriousness in action.
He instantly unleashed his strongest form.
"Demonic Flame Halberd!"
The avatar extended its arm. Endless flames condensed into a halberd tens of thousands of miles long.
Then the avatar stepped forward—commanding a sea of azure fire, like a Fire God descending upon the world, domineering and unstoppable.
The two Heavenly Demon Emperors were overwhelmed immediately. Violent shockwaves and Demonic Energy roared into the distance, preventing the other eleven Demon Emperors from joining the battle.
One versus two—without falling behind in the slightest.
At that moment—
Far away in the void, a pitch-black vortex stirred—the true origin of all the demonic miasma. Endless Demonic Energy poured out from its depths.
"Nine-Turn Profound Art!"
A furious voice reverberated from within the black vortex.
"The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor recognizes his technique?!"
Another voice echoed in disbelief.
The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor's face grew dark as he recalled a golden figure from the ancient war—one that nearly shattered his confidence.
"Hmph. Of course, I recognize it. In the ancient era, there was a Great Thousand expert—not the strongest, but incredibly difficult to deal with."
He grimaced.
"That man was like an indestructible beast—charging everywhere, impossible to kill. We could drive him away, but never finish him."
"But in the end, I tricked him and killed him. Even now, his body remains uncorrupted—still brimming with power."
"I keep it stored in my treasury. I thought that divine art had vanished, but to see it again today…"
"Then this one… must not be allowed to live." The Mind Heavenly Demon Emperor said darkly. Anyone who could give the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor such a headache would become a future calamity.
The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor's gaze flickered.
"Proceed with the plan. Your ability is unique—you will be an indispensable key for the revival of the Heavenly Evil Monarch."
He paused, voice turning cold.
"As for this one… I will personally handle him."
"For the Heavenly Evil Monarch." The Mind Heavenly Demon Emperor bowed and dissolved into a streak of ghostly light, vanishing into the endless Demonic Energy toward the Sacred Abyss Continent.
His goal was clear. Choose a prodigy, be slain by him, become a heart-devil, and at the critical moment, take control and break the seal.
After he departed—
The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor stood with his hands clasped behind him, gazing at the distant Liu Xi, whose radiant figure suppressed two Heavenly Demon Emperors alone.
"To show such ferocity before reaching your peak… If you reach your peak, you'll be even more troublesome than that bastard they once called the War God."
"But brutes like you are easy to manipulate. I'll use the War God's corpse as bait—lure you into the depths of the Abyss Domain, and there…"
"We'll crush every trace of your life."
His fist clenched tightly.
"Erase him completely."
