Wu Tian walked out of the Huashen Pool and casually put on his clothes.
He nodded and said, "That's right, I have indeed overcome my inner demons."
"Don't worry about me from now on, I won't have any problems facing the Demon Lord again."
Su Qiannai said, "That's good. Let's go back first. I wonder what the Chaos Demon Sea has become during this time."
Wu Tian responded with a sound, and then entered the spatial cave with Su Qiannai.
After the spatial jump, a dazzling firelight met his eyes.
Wu Tian was stunned for a moment, then as if struck by a massive impact, his entire being froze like a clay sculpture.
The world had been consumed by war!
Everywhere he looked, there was fighting. Cultivators were locked in a desperate struggle with demonic creatures, red blood and black blood scattering in the air. The earth was covered in a thick layer of scabs, littered with corpses, and the sounds of wailing and roaring were incessant. A bloody wind blew from all directions, leaving a sticky sensation on Wu Tian's body.
Wu Tian felt his mind go blank, his eyes losing their luster.
What was happening?
Why had the world become like this after he went to the Huashen Pool?
At this moment, Su Qiannai grasped his hand and said in a deep voice, "It seems the Demon Lord has been resurrected."
"What?!" Wu Tian shivered, looking at Su Qiannai in disbelief.
Su Qiannai's expression was more solemn than ever. "Don't you feel it? From the direction of the Demon Slaying Palace, a terrifying aura is emanating. This aura far surpasses that of the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor."
"Besides the Demon Lord, who else would possess such an aura?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Tian carefully sensed it, and his heart tightened! He had come into contact with the Demon Lord before, so he immediately recognized that this was indeed the Demon Lord's aura!
"What in the world is going on..." Wu Tian said blankly, "How long have we been gone?"
Su Qiannai casually annihilated a Demon Emperor and said, "The Demon Lord should not have been resurrected for long, otherwise, the entire world would have already collapsed."
"But since the Demon Lord is currently in the Demon Slaying Palace, it means the Demon Slaying Palace is also on the verge of falling. We must hurry there!"
Wu Tian's expression became stern, and he immediately nodded. "I understand, let's go quickly!"
With that, Wu Tian summoned the energy of heaven and earth, easily annihilating all the demonic creatures in the area, and then rushed to the Demon Slaying Palace with Su Qiannai.
At this very moment, the Demon Slaying Palace was shrouded in dense demonic energy. In the sky, the Demon Lord stood in the air. His tall and slender physique appeared elegant, yet he exuded a fatal sense of oppression. Below him, the Twelve Heavenly Venerables were already severely injured. Moreover, almost all the Immortal Kings had arrived, but they were mostly incapacitated. This even included Zhou Qian and Wang Damao. It seemed that during Wu Tian's absence, they had finally awakened from their reincarnation and obtained the power they were supposed to have.
The Demon Lord looked down coldly and said, "Is this the current strength of you humans? You truly disappoint me."
"Without the Sacred Dragon and the Heavenly Phoenix, you are nothing."
"Currently, both your mortal realm and the spirit beast realm have been breached by the demon armies. The grudges we formed in ancient times are about to be settled."
The Immortal Kings glared at Wu Tian. Although filled with anger, they were helpless against the Demon Lord. Just two hours ago, the Demon Lord had suddenly resurrected, unleashing war upon the mortal realm and the spirit beast realm. Faced with the aggressive demon army, both realms fought back desperately but were still pushed back steadily. The world had entered an irreversible doomsday.
The Demon Lord seemed too lazy to say more. A purplish-black ball of light condensed in his right hand.
"Let it end like this. Your two races should have disappeared long ago. Letting you survive for so long is already my mercy."
After uttering these cold words, the Demon Lord, without hesitation, threw the light sphere down. The light sphere emitted a terrifying pressure, instantly suppressing the bodies of all the Immortal Kings, rendering them unable to move. As the light sphere drew closer, everyone gritted their teeth, their eyes filled with defiance.
However, just as they were preparing to meet their deaths with dignity, with a fluctuation in space, sharp flames shot out, directly shattering the destructive light sphere! This drastic reversal stunned everyone. Then, space opened, and Wu Tian and Su Qiannai emerged from it.
"If you want to destroy this world, you'll have to ask us first," Wu Tian's cold voice rang out.
Seeing this, everyone was first surprised, then their eyes filled with ecstatic joy. It was Wu Tian! He had finally returned!
The Demon Lord was also somewhat surprised by Wu Tian's appearance. He sized up the two and a smile flickered on his lips. "Divine Realm?"
"It seems you've gained quite a lot during your absence."
At this moment, Wu Tian no longer felt any fear towards the Demon Lord. He stared at the Demon Lord and said, "Enough, don't talk nonsense with me."
"Today, both Heavenly Phoenix and I have entered the Divine Realm. Even if we follow the practices of ancient times, I must ensure you never return!"
But Wu Tian's words only made the Demon Lord smile slightly. "Is that so? You seem quite confident."
"But even if you've entered the Divine Realm, what does it matter? So much time has passed, do you think my strength will still be standing still?"
"You frog in a well, next, I'll let you witness the extent of my power!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a majestic demonic energy erupted from the Demon Lord's body. The demonic energy spread incredibly fast, causing the entire planet to tremble!
"My heavens..." the Immortal Kings below exclaimed in horror.
As the demonic energy surged towards them, Wu Tian and Su Qiannai exchanged glances, seeing a deep sense of gravity in each other's eyes.
"Half-step Divine King Realm..." Wu Tian said, "You've actually reached this level..."
The Demon Lord smiled and said, "That's right, indeed half-step Divine King Realm. Otherwise, why would I have waited until now to revive?"
"Everyone below Divine King is an ant. In my eyes, you two so-called Divine Realm existences are no longer much of a trouble."
"Since you have appeared today, then so be it. It saves me the trouble of finding you."
"This is the final battle. You... prepare to die here!"
A chilling aura rushed towards Wu Tian and the two, but it was quickly neutralized by their divine power. He stared at the Demon Lord and said, "You are correct, this is the final battle."
"Let's see who emerges victorious!"
This was an epic battle! At this moment, the past and present were irrelevant; only the future remained! Whichever side won this decisive battle would forever win the future! Wu Tian and Su Qiannai had elevated their auras to their peak, with golden flames and purple light rising from them, making them as dazzling as the sun! And on the Demon Lord's body, dense demonic energy also churned! The demonic energy writhed and clawed, as if it could tear everything apart! Silence. The heavens and earth suddenly became silent, all sounds vanished, and everyone's nerves were stretched to the extreme. Suddenly, as if a great hammer had fallen, Wu Tian and the two's expressions sank, and then they charged towards the Demon Lord! This time, they held nothing back, not even a hint of probing. Either life! Or death! There were only these two paths! Seeing their fierce charge, the Demon Lord chuckled and transformed into black light, colliding with them!
Boom!
The moment the two sides clashed for the first time, the entire Sacred Domain collapsed, and the Demon Slaying Palace was directly exposed to the real world. Neither side unleashed any flashy skills; it was simply a series of collisions. The battles in the heavens and earth ceased at this moment. Everyone looked up at this earth-shattering battle, their gazes unblinking. Everyone knew that their individual fights were meaningless; only the battle in the sky could determine the direction of the entire conflict. The two sides collided back and forth, shattering the space in the sky into fragments that fell like rain. Even with the power of spatial repair, it couldn't keep up with the speed of their destruction! Such a collision would have made even the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor tremble with fear. With his strength, he would likely die if he even brushed against it!
