The Supreme Demon Lord took a deep look at Liu Changsheng.
He knew that his opponent had just entered the Half-Immortal realm, and his cultivation was not yet fully stabilized. In a life-and-death battle, he was confident he could exhaust Liu Changsheng to death bit by bit.
However, he was deeply apprehensive.
This apprehension wasn't directed at Liu Changsheng but at Chu Yang, who had recently broken through to the Quasi-Emperor level.
Having lived through countless eras, all the prodigies of his time had fallen before him. This didn't necessarily mean he was stronger than those prodigies; it was because he had the wisdom to know when to advance and when to retreat.
In simpler terms, he was adept at surviving.
This was his secret to standing proudly on this continent and eventually achieving Half-Immortal status.
Seeing the greatest hidden danger, Chu Yang, present, he had no confidence in winning against both Chu Yang and Liu Changsheng. Without hesitation, he turned and tore open the space before him, planning to escape.
He was willing to revert to his usual tactic of biding his time, slowly wearing down these two until he could emerge victorious, rather than taking such a high risk by fighting them to the death.
Just as he tore open the space to flee, an extremely powerful force sealed the entire area, preventing his escape through the void.
Looking back, he saw Chu Yang walking towards him with a cold expression, clearly not intending to let him go.
Chu Yang was surrounded by a sky-reaching demonic aura that made one shudder. The endless demonic flames burned the void and also blocked the Supreme Demon Lord's escape route.
The Supreme Demon Lord was furious.
Though he was apprehensive of Chu Yang, it didn't mean he regarded a mere Quasi-Emperor highly.
Since becoming a Half-Immortal, he had never been challenged by a Quasi-Emperor, let alone a Great Emperor. Now, Chu Yang dared to block him as a Quasi-Emperor; even with his survival instincts, he couldn't accept this.
With a furious roar, the Supreme Demon Lord was about to strike and kill Chu Yang when he was shocked to find himself suppressed.
The supreme pressure, like the blazing sun, weighed heavily on his heart, making it hard to breathe.
In the sky, a golden bell, as large as a mountain, appeared. This Primordial Bell emitted divine light with incredible power, seemingly capable of suppressing all things.
Alarm bells rang in the Supreme Demon Lord's heart. Sensing something was wrong, he frantically mobilized the vast and powerful energy within him.
However, that once-obedient power now lay as still as dead water.
No matter how he tried to mobilize it, it was to no avail.
Chu Yang's eyes shone coldly. He leaped into the air, and countless Heavenly Demon phantoms appeared behind him.
Surrounded by these phantoms, Chu Yang looked like the true Demon Emperor, supreme and imposing.
He threw a punch and said coldly, "Kill!"
With the word 'kill,' endless killing intent erupted from Chu Yang.
All the Heavenly Demon phantoms merged into Chu Yang's fist. As he punched, the heavens trembled.
The sun, moon, and stars collapsed, and the laws of heaven and earth disintegrated.
It seemed as if this punch could destroy everything.
The Supreme Demon Lord's pupils contracted, and a sense of endless despair arose in his heart. He roared hysterically, desperately trying to struggle.
He roared, "How is this possible? How can a Quasi-Emperor be so powerful?!"
But Chu Yang's expression remained indifferent, cold to the extreme.
Boom!
The punch landed heavily on the Supreme Demon Lord's body. The immense power erupted like a millennia-old volcano, exploding all at once.
The Supreme Demon Lord's body couldn't withstand such terrifying force and shattered inch by inch into a mist of blood.
In the next second, the Supreme Demon Lord's soul emerged from his body, his eyes filled with terror.
He was afraid of Chu Yang, afraid of a Quasi-Emperor!
He had never imagined that one day, as a Half-Immortal, he would be slaughtered like a dog by a Quasi-Emperor.
The Supreme Demon Lord's soul attempted to flee; he no longer had any thoughts of resisting Chu Yang. His only desire was to preserve his soul and find a slim chance of survival.
However, Chu Yang had anticipated this move. With a flip of his palm, a flame full of demonic energy shot out from his hand. The demonic flame clung to the Supreme Demon Lord's soul like a maggot on a bone, burning it with a sizzling sound.
"Ah!!"
The Supreme Demon Lord let out a wail of agony. The pain of having his soul burned by demonic flames was far worse than any form of torture.
In his cries of despair, the demonic flames gradually consumed the Supreme Demon Lord's soul until it was completely annihilated, turning to nothingness.
And so, a being that had existed for countless eras, the Supreme Demon Lord, perished, becoming a monument in the long river of history.
Throughout it all, Chu Yang's face remained expressionless. Whether it was Liu Xiaoxiao's demise, Liu Changsheng's appearance, or torturing the Supreme Demon Lord to death, none of it caused any change in his demeanor.
Even though his heart was raging with emotions, Chu Yang had long since mastered hiding his feelings.
Outside the Heavenly Emperor's realm.
The cultivators watching were utterly stunned. They never imagined that the strongest and deeply hidden foundation of the Demon Sect, the Supreme Demon Lord, who had survived countless ages and whom even the Half-Immortal Liu Changsheng couldn't defeat, would be so easily subdued by the Emperor.
This simplicity made them doubt their own eyes.
Though the Emperor had previously fought the Half-Immortal Celestial Demon Emperor, at that time, the Emperor practiced the human Dao system, and everyone could feel the power of the human Dao.
Moreover, it was after the Emperor achieved the Great Emperor status that he could easily slay the Half-Immortal Demon Emperor.
But now, the Emperor had re-cultivated the demonic path and was merely at the Quasi-Emperor level, yet his combat strength was already so terrifying. What would it be like if he achieved the Great Emperor status?
The Emperor's might left a deep impression on everyone.
The more they thought about it, the more terrified they became.
If the Quasi-Emperor could already reverse-slay a Half-Immortal, what unimaginable power would the Emperor possess once he became a Great Emperor?
This question lingered in everyone's minds.
A Quasi-Emperor was already capable of crushing all the Great Emperors present. If the Emperor became a Great Emperor, could he even rival a true Red Dust Immortal?
Although the idea of contending with a true Red Dust Immortal seemed far-fetched, one thing was certain: as long as the Emperor achieved the Great Emperor status, he would undoubtedly be unafraid of any Half-Immortal.
