258: The demons are attacking! Their target is the imperial city!

The war between the Great Xia Divine Dynasty and the Jiuli Divine Dynasty has dragged the entire Central State into a bloody quagmire.

The fires of war spread like a prairie fire, and corpses piled up like mountains.

Endless resentment and bloody aura gathered into a crimson sea of clouds, shrouding the heavens and making even the daylight seem dim.

This living hell on earth was a gluttonous feast for certain existences.

The Jiuli Divine Dynasty.

Upon a throne forged from the bones of billions of living beings, a figure was enveloped in Chaos Devilish Qi, appearing as the source of all devils.

He was the culprit who incited this catastrophe—the Netherworld Heavenly Demon.

At this moment, his eyes were tightly closed as he greedily devoured the torrent of bloody aura gathering from all parts of the battlefield.

The aura on his body rose steadily, like a rising tsunami.

Boom!!!

A dull thud, like the sound of Chaos at the beginning of the Universe, exploded from within his body!

The bone throne shook violently; the demonic runes upon it all lit up and then instantly dimmed, unable to withstand this pressure!

A terrifying demonic might, far exceeding what came before, swept through the entire demon palace like a storm of destruction!

Great Emperor Second Heaven!

A Breakthrough!

"Jie jie jie jie..."

A strange laugh that froze the Divine Soul echoed in the hall, as if countless resentful souls were shrieking in unison.

The Heavenly Demon opened his eyes.

They were a pair of blood-colored demonic pupils devoid of any emotion, containing only pure destruction and greed.

"Not bad, not bad."

"The flesh and blood of the living beings in this world are indeed an exquisite delicacy."

He stuck out his crimson tongue and licked his lips, his face showing unabashed satisfaction.

"Unfortunately, ants are ultimately just ants."

"After slaughtering for so long, they have only provided this seat with such a negligible amount of energy."

He cast his gaze downward toward the high-ranking officials of the Jiuli Divine Dynasty, who were prostrate on the ground with even their demonic souls trembling; his eyes were thick with undisguised contempt.

"A bunch of trash!"

"You can't even take down a mere Great Xia Divine Dynasty after all this time!"

"I still have to do it myself!"

The Heavenly Demon's voice carried no warmth. The high-ranking officials below buried their heads deep, wishing they could merge with the floor.

"Great... Great Demon Lord, please calm your anger!"

The Jiuli Demon Emperor's body shook like a sieve as he spoke with a trembling voice, "It's not that we aren't trying our best, but that Great Xia Empress is simply too cunning!"

"Furthermore, a 'Divine Master Protecting the Nation' named Su Chen appeared by her side. This man's calculations are divine, and he has repeatedly thwarted our plans. It is truly... extremely bizarre!"

"Su Chen?"

The Heavenly Demon's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.

He seemed to have heard this name before.

"What kind of heaven-defying methods could a wet-behind-the-ears brat possibly have?"

"In my view, it's just an excuse you've found for your own incompetence!"

The Heavenly Demon gave a cold snort.

An invisible pressure descended with a bang, accurately slamming into the Jiuli Demon Emperor's back.

"Pfft!"

The Demon Emperor felt as if he had been struck by a mountain. He spat out a mouthful of demonic blood, and his aura instantly withered.

"This seat has no patience to continue wasting time with you useless trash."

The Heavenly Demon slowly stood up from the bone throne. His heaven-reaching demonic body caused the space of the entire demon palace to distort and wail.

"Since you can't deal with that Empress and that so-called bullshit Divine Master."

"Then this seat will personally go to the Great Xia Imperial City, twist their heads off, and use them as my chamber pots!"

His voice revealed absolute cruelty and confidence.

Great Emperor Second Heaven!

In this tiny lower realm, besides that terrifying woman encountered in the Immortal Burial Abyss, who else could stop him?!

"Tonight, this seat will turn the Great Xia Imperial City into a river of blood!"

"You all wait here for the news of my victory!"

Before his voice had even faded.

The Heavenly Demon's figure turned into a streak of pure pitch-black light, piercing through the Void Realm and vanishing without a trace.

Leaving behind only the high-ranking officials in the hall, silent as cicadas in winter and faces ashen as death... The night was as dark as ink.

In the Great Xia Imperial City, songs and dances continued as usual.

The bustle of the Wen Tianlai Theater and the tranquility deep within the imperial palace intertwined into a bizarre painting.

No one knew that a catastrophic disaster had quietly arrived.

A dark shadow, invisible to the naked eye, ignored the layers of anti-air arrays above the Heavenly Capital and slipped into the city like a ghost.

It was the Heavenly Demon himself.

He hid within a spatial fold, concealing all his aura, surveying his hunting ground like a top-tier predator.

[Hmm, as expected of a divine capital, the Spiritual Qi is fairly abundant.]

The Heavenly Demon's Divine Thought quietly swept across the entire imperial city like an invisible tide.

[Unfortunately, it's all just chickens and dogs; not a single one can even slightly pique my interest.]

Soon, he locked onto his primary target.

Deep within the imperial palace, the Fengming Hall.

"Jie jie, let's start with that little Empress."

"I've heard she is peerless in her elegance. Perfect, this seat hasn't tasted an Empress in a long time."

A cruel and lewd smile appeared on the Heavenly Demon's face.

He Body slightly moved, and was about to tear through space and descend directly into the Empress's bedchamber.

Just as his Divine Thought was about to be withdrawn, he boredly glanced at the most bustling and popular pavilion in the south of the city.

The Wen Tianlai Theater.

Just a bunch of noisy ants, future blood food reserves.

But it was that inadvertent glance.

His Divine Thought touched an aura.

That aura was lazy and playful, without a hint of pressure or killing intent, watching the farce on the stage with great interest.

However, the moment the Heavenly Demon's demonic thought touched that aura—

BOOM!!!!

The Netherworld Heavenly Demon's demonic soul, which had just expanded to its limit and thought itself invincible, was struck as if by a Universe and instantly disintegrated!

Time, space, and thought all came to a standstill at this moment!

His demonic face, twisted by greed, first froze and then cracked inch by inch, finally turning into an absolute fear originating from the very Origin of life, making his demonic soul shriek piercingly!

It's her!

It's that woman!!

That prehistoric Demoness in the Immortal Burial Abyss who crushed all his dignity and courage into powder with just a single look!

Why would she be here?!

Isn't she the guardian of the Immortal Burial Abyss? Why would she run to the Great Xia Imperial City... to watch a play?!

The Heavenly Demon's demonic soul was trembling frantically, nearly collapsing on the spot.

His consciousness seemed to have returned to that bottomless rift, seeing those dark-red Phoenix eyes looking down at an ant once again.

There was no contempt in those eyes, no killing intent, only the absolute indifference of looking at an uninteresting stone by the roadside.

"Run!!!"

This single word became the only thought in his mind!

What Great Emperor Second Heaven, what blood sacrifice of the continent—at this moment, it all became the world's biggest joke!

He had no doubt that woman had already discovered him!

The reason she hadn't acted was simply that she found crushing him to death too boring; she wanted to admire the comical sight of this "bedbug" struggling in despair!

"Forbidden Technique! Heavenly Demon Disintegration Blood Escape Art!"

This time he didn't hesitate for a moment and directly ignited fifty percent of his Emperor's Blood Origin!

Boom!

A blood-light ten times more intense than when he fled the Immortal Burial Abyss erupted from his body!

The blood-light flashed and vanished into the horizon.

The night sky of the Great Xia Imperial City returned to tranquility, as if nothing had ever happened.
