The Demon Emperor's enraged words immediately resonated with the other demons. After all, none of them wished to be devoured by the Blood Heaven Demon Emperor. Consequently, their expressions turned grim, and potent dark energy surged from their bodies, indicating their intent to attack.
Witnessing this scene, the onlookers below fell into a stupor. They were clearly taken aback by how the tense situation had escalated. However, facing the hostile gazes of the demons, the Blood Heaven Demon Emperor remained unfazed, appearing calm and composed. His sinister expression deepened.
He chuckled and asked, "What is the meaning of this? Are you intending to attack me?" "Apologies, but since I was able to plant demonic seeds within you, I naturally anticipated such a scenario." "Therefore, if you wish to attack me, save yourselves the trouble."
With that, a cold, piercing glint flashed in the Blood Heaven Demon Emperor's eyes. Immediately, a strange ripple of air emanated from his body. Any demon struck by this ripple trembled, and to their astonishment, they found themselves unable to summon their internal energy!
"What is happening!" the demons exclaimed in horror. The Blood Heaven Demon Emperor laughed heartily, "I told you long ago that attacking me is impossible." "Your demonic energy is now sealed by me; what can you possibly use to fight me?" "So, abandon this futile resistance. Your persistence is meaningless to me." "Now is the time the demon race needs you. Surrender your bodies and powers to me entirely!"
The Blood Heaven Demon Emperor's eyes blazed with crimson light. At this very moment, all the demons' bodies began to crack, revealing countless fissures! Scarlet light erupted from these cracks like arrows, and in the next instant, the demons exploded!
Vast waves of blood-red demonic energy surged forth, all of which were absorbed by the Blood Heaven Demon Emperor. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Blood Heaven Demon Emperor's body began to swell dramatically, and his aura surged, as if a hurricane had suddenly erupted from the ground!
As the Blood Heaven Demon Emperor's aura intensified, the spirit beasts on the ground wore expressions of disbelief. They could clearly sense that the Blood Heaven Demon Emperor's strength had broken through its previous constraints. In other words, his power had reached a new level!
The Blood Heaven Demon Emperor's body continued to expand, undergoing violent transformations. After a while, he finally completed his ultimate evolution. His body had grown to hundreds of meters tall, his skin turned black, save for two pairs of blood-red eyes that shone like lanterns. He extended his hand, and a massive staff was grasped within his palm. The staff was also hundreds of meters long, exuding a sinister aura. Upon closer inspection, one would notice that the staff was entwined with a dozen or so figures, clearly the Demon Emperors and Demon Kings who had been devoured earlier. It was a staff of corpses!
The Blood Heaven Demon Emperor had absorbed the energy of those demons and then condensed their bodies into such an evil weapon. Such a method was truly the height of cruelty!
Gazing up at the Blood Heaven Demon Emperor, who towered like a demon god, everyone's lips trembled, and their legs quaked. Many were so terrified that they collapsed onto the ground. Wu Tian's pupils constricted to a mere point, clearly not expecting the Blood Heaven Demon Emperor to possess such terrifying abilities. He quickly looked towards Su Qian Nai, only to find that Su Qian Nai's expression remained unchanged.
What was going on? Even in this state, did Su Qian Nai still have a plan? Meanwhile, the Blood Heaven Demon Emperor seemed quite pleased with his newfound strength. He clenched the staff of corpses in his hand, his heart filled with ecstatic joy, and he roared with laughter like thunder:
"Hahahahaha!" "I succeeded, I finally succeeded!" "My strength has now reached the Great Perfection of the Immortal King realm, only one step away from the Divine realm!" "Now, let's see who can stop me!"
Divine realm? Hearing this, Wu Tian and all the spirit beasts were bewildered. They knew of the existence of Immortal Kings but had never heard of the Divine realm. Could there be a higher realm above Immortal King?
To this, Su Qian Nai calmly stated, "Breaking through to the Great Perfection of the Immortal King by absorbing others' energy, what kind of accomplishment is that?" "The energy within you is unstable, so your so-called Great Perfection of the Immortal King is merely an illusion. There's no need to be so excited."
His truth exposed by Su Qian Nai, the Blood Heaven Demon Emperor became furious. He glared fiercely at Su Qian Nai and said, "So what? Even if I'm not a true Great Perfection Immortal King, it's more than enough to deal with you!" "You are merely possessing the power of the Heavenly Phoenix now, but your body is still human!" "When you possessed the true body of the Heavenly Phoenix, you were indeed a Divine realm expert, but in your current state, I don't believe you can still wield that power!"
Su Qian Nai said faintly, "So that's your reliance?" "If that's the case, then come and try to find out." "At that time, I will let you understand what my true strength is."
The Blood Heaven Demon Emperor had no intention of lingering in a debate with Su Qian Nai. To avoid any unforeseen complications, he directly condensed the demonic energy within him and said darkly, "Is that so? Since you say that, I shall certainly give you a surprise." "If you truly have the capability today, then try to withstand this move of mine!" "If you cannot, then not only you, but the entire spirit beast realm will be utterly destroyed by my hand!"
As he spoke, intense blood-red light flared on the Blood Heaven Demon Emperor's hands. The blood-red light was immense, and from afar, it resembled two crimson suns appearing in the sky! As he gathered his power, the entire spirit beast realm began to tremble, as if brewing for an unprecedented cataclysm. This move was his ultimate trump card, so even with his current strength, gathering it proved extremely taxing.
Seeing his aura becoming increasingly violent, Wu Tian, worried about any potential mishap, said to Su Qian Nai, "Why don't we deal with him now?" "He is at his most vulnerable state, and this is the best time to strike!" However, his suggestion was not adopted by Su Qian Nai, who shook his head and said, "No need." "Although his strength is formidable, it hasn't reached a point where I need to be wary." "He wants to decide the outcome in one move? Very well, I shall oblige him!"
