Upon receiving the news, Lin Niuniu acted decisively, not daring to delay. She abruptly stood up, her gaze quickly scanning her Netherworld Root Veins, and whispered to herself, "Brother, I have to leave first. You must come find me when you emerge from retreat." With that, she transformed into a streak of light and instantly soared above the Yellow Springs. Then, she shouted, "Senior Devouring Emperor! This is terrible! Zhang Qiming has broken through Dao Emperor retreat and is leading the Ten Dao Emperors to siege the Myriad Demon Sect and the Dark Abyss Demon Alliance. I beg you to come out of retreat!"
A moment later, the steady and powerful voice of the Devouring Emperor rose from the depths of the Yellow Springs: "You must not engage them head-on. Disperse and hide first. I am about to break through to the mid-stage Saint Emperor. We will settle our accounts with them then!"
Lin Niuniu thought for a moment, said nothing more, turned around and turned into a stream of light and left quickly.
Seeing this, the Devouring Emperor at the bottom of the Yellow Springs was immediately terrified. This girl clearly didn't take his words to heart. In desperation, he "whoosh" flew out of the Yellow Springs, causing a huge wave to fill the sky.
Over the years, the Devouring Emperor's strength has greatly improved, and his divine soul body has been greatly developed, complementing his own divine beast physique. He was originally certain that given more time, he would definitely be able to break through to the middle stage of the Holy Emperor, but now with Lin Niuniu's interference, he was afraid that the opportunity was gone. He felt helpless and subconsciously looked towards the restricted area, then flew towards it.
Fengdu Emperor and his companions saw this scene and hurriedly followed, bowing respectfully and saying, "Lord Emperor Shi!"
The Devouring Emperor searched carefully but still found nothing. He couldn't help but curse Yu Kai in his heart. Why hadn't this guy come out for so long? He had been so worried for so many years.
Then, he turned around and ordered a few people: "If Yu Kai comes out, send a message to me immediately!"
"Yes!" Fengdu Emperor and others accepted the order respectfully.
The Devouring Emperor sighed helplessly and turned into a stream of light flying towards the gates of hell.
"Finally he left!" Fengdu Emperor and others looked at the disappearing back of Emperor Shi and breathed a sigh of relief, as if peace had finally returned to the underworld.
At the Netherworld Roots within the restricted area, Yu Kai had just successfully resurrected the last Ancestral Witch and was now concentrating on recovering his own energy while consolidating his peak Great Emperor realm. With the right opportunity, he could hope to break through to the Dao Emperor realm. He was completely unaware of Lin Niuniu and the Devouring Emperor's departure. Eleven Ancestral Witches practiced diligently beside him, their various laws spreading wildly around him, affecting entire swathes of space and time.
Yu Kai immediately began to exchange ideas with the ancient witches about the laws. During the discussion, he discovered that their understanding and application of the laws far surpassed his own. The laws he controlled were complex and diverse, but not profound enough.
On the other side, Kunpeng and others suddenly felt an overwhelming pressure. Everyone's heart skipped a beat, and they realized that it must be Zhang Qiming and others who were coming to kill them.
Kunpeng and the other three demon lords didn't dare hesitate and quickly flew out of Sirius. Looking at Zhang Qiming and the others rushing towards them, their faces instantly became extremely solemn, and they kept praying that the Devouring Emperor would come to support them as soon as possible.
Zhang Qiming walked steadily to the side of the ship. Behind him stood the second-generation disciples of the two sects, the Human and the Chan. These people exuded a powerful pressure, causing the entire void to distort and collapse under this force. The scene was extremely terrifying.
Zhang Qiming's eyes were like lightning. He glanced coldly at the people opposite him and asked in a deep voice, "Where are Lin Niuniu and Yu Kai?"
"Our Saint will be here soon!" The Red Flame Demon Lord had a stern expression and a firm voice, and his words revealed his full confidence in Lin Niuniu.
"What about Yu Kai? Why hasn't there been any movement in these decades?" Zhang Qiming asked again without giving up.
"The Holy Prince is in seclusion and will come out soon. And the Devouring Emperor is also rushing here, so don't be too arrogant!" Kunpeng said with a stiff upper lip. Although he was very worried, he still tried to maintain a tough attitude.
"If the Devouring Emperor dares to take action today, he will only die!" Zhang Qiming's tone was cold, and the murderous intent spread out without any concealment.
"My queen has formed an alliance with Tongtian Patriarch, how can they just sit back and watch!" Lu Ya stared at Zhang Qiming with flames of anger burning in his eyes.
"Hmph, do you think they can get out of the thirty-third heaven?" Zhang Qiming raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile, which seemed to be mocking the other party's naivety and ignorance.
"What do you mean?" Kunpeng, who was already upset, felt even more uneasy at this moment.
"What I mean is that someone will stop them!" Zhang Qiming looked proud, as if everything was under his control.
He turned his gaze towards Kunpeng, "Kunpeng, are you willing to be my mount? If you agree, I will spare your life!"
Kunpeng's face instantly turned ashen. This was undoubtedly a great humiliation for him. As an ancient mythical beast, dignity was paramount. How could he condescend to become someone else's mount?
"Uncle-master, if you like this evil beast, let's go and take him down right now!" The Immortal of the South Pole had a seemingly kind smile on his face, but beneath the smile was a murderous intent as strong as the abyss.
"You..." Kunpeng gritted his teeth in anger, the rage in his heart almost devoured him, but due to the situation, he could only swallow his anger for the time being.
"Okay! Go and take him down!" Zhang Qiming's order was like the drumbeat of war.
As soon as he finished speaking, Nanji Xianweng and Xuandu Dafashi rushed towards Kunpeng like tigers descending from the mountains. At the same time, Yang Jian, Jade Ding Zhenren and others also rushed towards Lu Ya, Red Flame Demon Lord and others like hungry wolves.
In an instant, a fierce battle erupted, and a roar like rolling thunder resounded between heaven and earth. Under the impact of this terrifying energy torrent, the surrounding stars shattered like fragile glass, turning into flying dust.
Black holes suddenly appeared between them, like monstrous, gluttonous beasts devouring everything, emitting a chilling aura, as if dragging everything into an endless abyss of darkness. The crowd watching the battle turned pale with fear, retreating repeatedly, their faces filled with terror and dread.
In the melee, the first to fall into danger was the Red Flame Demon Lord. Yun Zhongzi's demon-slaying sword flashed with a cold light, like a bolt of lightning piercing the night sky, swiftly striking the Red Flame Demon Lord, causing demonic blood to spurt out like a fountain.
The Red Flame Demon Venerable felt the pain, and before he could steady himself, Du'e Zhenren's Demon Subduing Pestle struck from behind like a meteor chasing the moon. Unable to react, a massive hole was instantly blasted through his back, sending him flying backwards through the air, blood gushing out.
Seeing this, Zhang Qiming rushed out like a cheetah. His body instantly changed, transforming into a huge ancient remnant.
At this moment, his eyes were blood red like burning flames, his skin was as dark as the deep ink abyss, and his whole body was filled with a strong aura of killing and destruction, as if he was a demon god walking out of the ancient killing battlefield.
He raised his giant palm high up, and with a deafening "bang", the giant palm was like a collapsing mountain, slamming the Red Flame Demon Lord away.
