*Whoosh!*
Beneath the night sky, a divine rainbow streaked across the heavens in an instant, like a shooting star.
Yet this seemingly beautiful and dazzling spectacle was merely an old man fleeing for his life.
Ge Xian's face was filled with terror as he kept glancing back behind him.
He never imagined the Demon Sovereign would be so terrifyingly powerful!
Even when he and Saint Ling joined forces, they couldn't harm him in the slightest!
He had clashed with other Demon Sovereigns from the Demon Realm before, but never had he felt such utter helplessness and fear!
Delaying the Demon Sovereign was utterly impossible!
Fortunately, the Demon Sovereign had gone after Saint Ling first, and there was no sign of pursuit behind him. He should be able to seize this chance to escape the Demon Realm...
Ge Xian thought with a hint of relief.
If there was ever a next time, he swore he would never provoke the Demon Sovereign again!
The Heavenly Sect had no idea what kind of person he had provoked!
Let someone else be the Dao Protector; he would never take on that role again!
Feeling he had fled far enough, Ge Xian retrieved a mirror from his Immortal Ring and tossed it into the air before him.
The mirror hovered in mid-air, its surface glowing with a radiant light that reflected the scenery of the Immortal Realm.
This mirror was named the "Six Realms Mirror." It could freely connect to the six realms and randomly transport its user to any location within them.
It was one of his most precious treasures.
With the Six Realms Mirror, Ge Xian no longer needed to open void rifts and traverse the void to search for the Immortal Realm's plane. He could simply pass through the mirror's surface, seamlessly crossing the Demon Realm to reach the Immortal Realm.
If he could reach the Immortal Realm, he would have escaped this calamity!
Seeing the entrance to the Immortal Realm right before him, Ge Xian's face lit up with wild joy. He couldn't wait and immediately sped toward the Six Realms Mirror.
Just as he was about to plunge into the mirror with gleeful anticipation, a figure he least wanted to see slowly emerged from behind it...
The Demon Sovereign!
How had he caught up so quickly?
Where was Saint Ling?!
Could it be that Saint Ling...
But it had only been a short time... this was too fast!
Ning Yechen stood beside the Six Realms Mirror, a sinister smile playing on his lips.
"Where do you think you're going?"
"Since you've graced my Demon Realm with your presence, why rush to leave?"
"Why not stay here instead?"
With that, Ning Yechen casually crushed the Six Realms Mirror into dust with a single, effortless gesture!
Ge Xian: "...!"
Terrified, Ge Xian abruptly halted mid-air and veered sharply, fleeing in the opposite direction.
But in the next instant, Ning Yechen silently materialized beside him!
The Demon God's arms behind him swung with terrifying force, tearing through the void as they surged forward!
Before Ge Xian could even defend himself, he was sent flying a thousand miles.
The attack's devastating power shattered the void, ripped across the sky, and smashed through multiple mountains before burying him in a landslide of rubble.
Ning Yechen, hands clasped behind his back, instantly appeared above the site of Ge Xian's fall.
Below, the mountains crumbled, the earth sank, and a scene of devastation lay in ruins.
An ordinary Immortal Emperor would have been pulverized by that blow, and even a Half-Step Absolute Immortal would have been severely injured.
Yet Ning Yechen frowned slightly.
The feel of the strike had told him he hadn't fully connected with Ge Xian.
And the old fox seemed to have used some secret treasure to completely conceal his aura.
*So he's trying to play dead...*
"Come out!"
Ning Yechen's expression turned icy. Two Demon God arms emerged from his back, their palms forming fists as they rose high above and slammed down with earth-shattering force!
*Whoosh!*
*Bang!*
The moment the fist struck, its wind howled, causing the earth to crack and tremble. The devastating aftershock reduced everything within a thousand-mile radius—mountains, rivers, trees, and grass—to dust and rubble!
With nowhere left to hide, Ge Xian was once again exposed to Ning Yechen's sight. "Found you."
Ning Yechen clenched his hand, crushing the void where Ge Xian stood as if it were glass!
To his surprise, Ge Xian remained unharmed.
The instant the void shattered, the Immortal Ring on Ge Xian's hand lit up, its light forming a barrier that nullified the devastating attack.
When the light faded, one of the Immortal Rings on Ge Xian's hand crumbled into dust.
Three of the rings he had originally worn on his fingers were now gone.
"So that's it."
"A magical artifact that can nullify my strike..."
Ning Yechen instantly understood how Ge Xian had survived.
The Immortal Rings on his fingers were all life-saving artifacts, each capable of saving him at a critical moment.
The previous two times, it had been these artifacts that had protected him and saved his life.
This was the third time.
"Demon Sovereign, don't push me too far!"
Having nearly died three times in a row, Ge Xian was already drenched in sweat, his ancient eyes trembling with fear.
He no longer held back, unleashing all the Immortal Treasures from his Immortal Rings.
In an instant, tens of thousands of divine weapons and sharp blades rained down from the heavens, streaking toward Ning Yechen like myriad divine rainbows!
Ning Yechen stood motionless, and a pitch-black shadow barrier suddenly rose from the ground beneath his feet, enveloping him in a sphere of darkness.
Tens of thousands of divine weapons and immortal artifacts all struck the shadowy sphere, sinking into it and vanishing without a trace.
Seeing this, Ge Xian's expression froze, his arm suspended mid-air.
*How... how could this happen...?*
*All the immortal artifacts and treasures I've accumulated throughout my life... gone just like that...?*
The shadow barrier dissipated, and Ning Yechen took a single step into the air, instantly appearing before Ge Xian. He clasped his hands together, transforming them into a blade and thrusting it toward the immortal.
Another immortal ring on Ge Xian's hand lit up, and a new barrier materialized before him.
This time, however, Ning Yechen's hand-blade pierced straight through the barrier, impaling Ge Xian through the chest!
*Pfft!*
Ge Xian spat out a mouthful of blood, his face filled with disbelief.
Another immortal ring on his finger shattered.
The immortal treasure barrier, which had never been broken before, had been pierced through with such ease!
"What a letdown. Not so impressive after all."
Ning Yechen frowned slightly, his expression deeply disappointed.
He had expected more from a barrier that could withstand a strike from his Demon God's arm.
Yet it hadn't even managed to block a single blow from him.
Disappointed, Ning Yechen withdrew his arm. With a flick of his sleeve, his arm swept past Ge Xian's body.
A silver light flashed across Ge Xian's form, cleaving open the void behind him for a thousand li!
Ge Xian's body was sliced diagonally in half, his lower half plummeting into the shadows Ning Yechen had spread.
Billions of Spirit-Devouring Insects swarmed forth, devouring the severed half in an instant.
Ge Xian's remaining half clung to life, his face contorted in despair and terror as he stared at Ning Yechen.
He was utterly powerless to resist...
*What kind of monster is this Demon Sovereign...?!*
Ning Yechen's cold fingers gripped Ge Xian's face, his eyes like frozen stars. Black demonic flames erupted from his arm, creeping closer.
Ge Xian's eyes trembled with fear as the flames approached, but he had no chance to beg for mercy.
The demonic flames instantly engulfed his entire body!
Ge Xian's Immortal Rings materialized as barriers, but they proved futile.
As the rings shattered one by one, his last shred of hope vanished.
When the final protective ring broke, the demonic flames began to consume Ge Xian's Immortal Body—his flesh, Immortal Bone, and even his Divine Soul were scorched by the inferno!
A dual torment of body and soul!
"Mmph mmph mmph!!"
Ge Xian's face twisted in agony, his body and soul gradually dissolving. Ning Yechen's palm covered his mouth, stifling his muffled cries of pain.
The agony didn't last long. In Ning Yechen's grasp, Ge Xian was reduced to ashes...
Ning Yechen coldly withdrew his arm and the shadow beneath his feet.
He surveyed the devastated ruins stretching for thousands of li around him, only then realizing he might have held back a little too much.
If Yue Qingyou found out about this, he'd inevitably get a lecture from her.
