The resounding roar echoed like thunder, as if the supreme Dao Ancestor had unleashed a ferocious cry. Cultivators across the Myriad Spirit Continent heard this thunderous bellow, sensing the immense rage contained within.
Even the scorching sea of fire beneath the Heavenly Demon Palace paled in comparison to this.
The demon clan members within the Heavenly Demon Mountain were filled with terror. They knew that this time, they had provoked an unparalleled enemy! Compared to the pressure contained in that roar, even the Supremes and quasi-emperors felt incredibly small and fragile.
They could only hope that the current demon emperor could suppress this formidable emperor!
Boom!
From the depths of the Heavenly Demon Palace, an aura of unparalleled terror emanated.
The supreme pressure made even the heavens and earth tremble.
The Great Dao began to collapse continuously, and endless destructive energy spread, shattering the surrounding void.
Before Chu Yang, the void suddenly crumbled, revealing a void filled with cracks.
A towering figure in imperial robes slowly emerged from the void.
His face appeared ordinary, but his eyes were resolute, emitting boundless golden light, sharp and domineering.
It seemed that for this middle-aged man, even the heavens and earth were insignificant.
The supreme pressure swept through the heavens and earth.
The surrounding Great Dao laws all boiled, and the laws around the middle-aged man were incinerated and destroyed.
Even time and space were no exceptions.
Around him, it seemed as if time and space had no hold.
Merely standing there, he exuded an aura of invincibility.
Dominating the world!

Merely standing there, he exuded an aura of invincibility.
Dominating the world!
This was the power of an emperor!
From ancient times to the present, emperor-level powerhouses have always been the supreme beings on the Myriad Spirit Continent!
The Demon Emperor's eyes flickered, as if stars were passing through them.
His deep gaze fell upon Chu Yang, scrutinizing him closely.
Under the gaze of this unparalleled Demon Emperor, Chu Yang couldn't help but feel as though all his secrets were being laid bare.
The Demon Emperor slowly began to speak, "I never expected such a peerless genius to emerge on the Myriad Spirit Continent!"
Each of his words resounded like the great Dao itself, echoing throughout the heavens and earth.
There was a hint of appreciation in the Demon Emperor's eyes.
After all, for someone of his stature, he had a deep admiration for the geniuses of the younger generation.
From the moment Chu Yang set foot on Heavenly Demon Mountain, the Demon Emperor had taken notice, though he had made no move.
After all, to him, if he, the Demon Emperor, had to personally suppress a single person who had intruded upon the demon clan, it would be a disgrace.
Chu Yang, not yet being an emperor, was not deemed worthy of his action.
Thus, he had allowed Chu Yang to rampage within Heavenly Demon Mountain.
Yet, he never imagined that so many Supreme powerhouses, and even a quasi-emperor, could not stop him.
And then, Chu Yang had ascended to the peak of quasi-emperor in five steps, rendering him unmatched by anyone but an emperor.
If he did not act now, the entire foundation of the demon clan would be destroyed by Chu Yang.
Though he admired Chu Yang, he also harbored great resentment.
This incident would undoubtedly severely impact the dignity of the entire demon clan.
The Demon Emperor's expression remained calm as he spoke, "Are you here for the Heavenly Demon Fox clan?"
In the Demon Emperor's view, his demon clan had never offended such a peerless genius; the only possible reason was the extermination of the Heavenly Demon Fox clan.
Moreover, aside from the figure before him, only an emperor could have the chance to break the bloodline curse he had set.
Chu Yang's gaze was icy, and a boundless killing intent erupted from his body as he coldly questioned, "Why did you kill Bai Xiaoqi?"
A quasi-emperor questioning an emperor—Chu Yang was undoubtedly a precedent.
He was puzzled and confused by the Demon Emperor's extermination of the Heavenly Demon Fox clan.
After all, for a high and mighty emperor, there was no need to concern himself with the Heavenly Demon Fox clan.
Even if there was some apprehension, eliminating the top powerhouses would suffice. Why kill Xiaoqi?
Xiaoqi posed no threat to their status.
Moreover, Xiaoqi had already led a life of great misery, overcoming countless hardships to break the bloodline curse, finally grasping a sliver of hope for survival. Why couldn't she live peacefully? Did she not even have the right to live? Was it merely because the Heavenly Demon Fox clan was the royal clan among demons that they had to be exterminated?
The Demon Emperor stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze distant as he looked at Chu Yang and said, "Hehe, if you knew the great secret the Heavenly Demon Fox clan held, you would have made the same choice as I did."
"The Heavenly Demon Fox clan harbors the supreme opportunity to help one prove the Dao of the Mortal Immortal. What do all cultivators seek in this life? Is it not to attain longevity, to share the lifespan of the heavens and earth, and to be invincible in the world?"
"Now, within the Heavenly Demon Fox clan lies such a shortcut. Why wouldn't I try?"
"To me, whether or not to kill the Heavenly Demon Fox clan holds little significance. What I seek is that supreme opportunity; everything else is irrelevant."
"However, the Heavenly Demon Fox clan are all stubborn. They would rather die than reveal this opportunity to help me prove the Dao of the Mortal Immortal. Since that's the case, I could only act decisively. If I can't obtain it, then let this opportunity disappear from the world entirely, so no one can have it."
The Demon Emperor's tone was calm, as if exterminating the Heavenly Demon Fox clan was a trivial matter.
Chu Yang's gaze was cold to the extreme.
For most cultivators, the chance to prove the Dao of the Mortal Immortal would make them do anything, but Chu Yang had no interest in this so-called Mortal Immortal Dao. He only wanted the pitiful little fox to live peacefully.
With a voice full of killing intent, he said, "Is this your reason for exterminating the Heavenly Demon Fox clan?"
The Demon Emperor chuckled, questioning Chu Yang in return, "Is that reason not enough?"
"Enough, your end is here. Today, I will flatten Heavenly Demon Mountain."
"Slay the Emperor!"
Boundless power of laws danced around Chu Yang like sprites, exuding a terrifying aura.
The Demon Emperor's face was full of disdain. He never saw Chu Yang as a worthy opponent, saying, "You are not qualified."
Boom!
In the sky, divine thunder pierced through the entire firmament with a deafening roar.
Shattering countless paths, collapsing time and space, it was as terrifying as divine punishment from the heavens.
All laws fell silent, with only the divine thunder in the sky transforming into a purple dragon, descending from the nine heavens.
