267: The Demon King flips the table! We'll all die together!

"Aaaaaahhh—!!!"

A roar filled with resentment and madness erupted from the churning blood mist!

Run?

Where could he run?

In front of this prehistoric Demoness who wielded the Law of space with such perfection, any thought of escape seemed so ridiculous, so naive!

The Heavenly Demon knew he had been completely locked on.

From the moment this woman appeared, his fate was sealed.

Since he couldn't live, then no one else should even think about living!

"Lunatic! You lunatic!"

The Heavenly Demon's true form—a terrifying demonic figure a hundred zhang tall, wreathed in Chaos Devilish Qi—suddenly lunged out of the blood mist!

His blood-red demonic pupils stared fixedly at Ye Linghan below. His eyes no longer held fear, but the hysterical madness of being driven into a corner!

"You think you've won for sure?!"

"Even if I die, I will drag the entire Nine Nether Demon Domain down with me!"

The Heavenly Demon roared. On his massive demonic body, pitch-black demonic runes suddenly lit up, and his aura began to burn frantically at an incredible speed!

He was burning his Emperor Realm Origin!

[Holy crap, is this grandson going to self-detonate?]

Su Chen's eyelids twitched, and he instinctively wanted to hide behind Ye Linghan.

The power of a Great Emperor's self-detonation... just thinking about it made his scalp tingle.

However, the Heavenly Demon's next move exceeded his expectations.

The Heavenly Demon flipped his giant palm, and nine pitch-black Formation Flags wreathed in ominous black Qi appeared in his hand!

The flags were covered in dense, squirming ancient demonic runes that looked like tadpoles, emitting a bizarre power strong enough to contaminate Laws.

"Using my broken body as the guide!"

"Using my Imperial blood as the sacrifice!"

The Heavenly Demon let out an earth-shattering roar and violently threw the nine pitch-black Formation Flags toward the core leyline nodes of the Nine Nether Demon Mountain below!

"Open... for me!"

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Nine streaks of black light, like nine man-eating poisonous dragons, instantly pierced through the Void Realm. Ignoring the crumbling mountain-protecting array, they precisely stabbed into the nine most important leyline nodes deep within the Nine Nether Demon Mountain!

Rumble—!!!

The moment the flags were inserted, the entire majestic Nine Nether Demon Mountain shook violently, as if being rattled by an invisible giant hand!

Rocks tumbled, and the earth split open!

Countless thick streams of pitch-black leyline Evil Qi erupted from deep underground, crashing wildly within the mountain like out-of-control black pythons!

"Not good!"

Inside the array, atop the altar, Liu Canghai's expression changed drastically!

"He wants to forcibly detonate the leylines to destroy our mountain-protecting array!"

Before he could finish his sentence—

Crack—!!!!

A crisp sound, like glass shattering, echoed through heaven and earth!

The mountain-protecting array's light barrier, which was already covered in cracks, could no longer hold on at this moment and exploded!

It turned into a sky full of light specks and dissipated in the air.

"Pfft!"

As the Formation shattered, all the Demonic Cult Elders maintaining it spat out blood simultaneously, their auras instantly withering to the extreme.

Liu Canghai was hit even harder, as if struck by lightning. He was sent flying off the altar and crashed heavily onto the ground, his face pale as death, looking like he wouldn't survive.

"Father!"

Liu Ruyan let out a cry of grief and prepared to rush over like crazy.

However, before she could move, an even more terrifying change occurred!

After the mountain-protecting array shattered, the violent leyline Evil Qi did not dissipate; instead, it seemed to find an outlet and became even more rampant!

They converged into a pitch-black torrent, surging violently toward the deepest part of the Nine Nether Demon Mountain!

That was the Forbidden Ground of the Nine Nether Demonic Cult and their final trump card—the resting place of the Cult-Protecting Imperial Weapon, the "nine nether bell"!

"Jie jie jie jie..."

In mid-air, the Heavenly Demon looked at the chaotic scene below and let out a delighted and crazed laugh.

"It's over! Everything is over!"

"Liu Canghai, your mountain-protecting array is gone!"

"Your Imperial Weapon will soon become my sacrifice!"

He suddenly looked up at the sky, which had become extremely unstable due to the leyline riot, and raised his hands high like a fanatic welcoming the arrival of a deity!

"Forcibly sacrificing the Imperial Weapon of this place—the nine nether bell!"

"I respectfully invite the Dharma Image of the Great Fallen Immortal... to descend upon this world!!!"

His voice, like the most vicious curse, echoed between heaven and earth.

Boom!!!!

A dull bell toll, seemingly from the primordial era, resounded from deep within the Nine Nether Demon Mountain!

Immediately afterward, the entire earth began to shake violently!

An indescribably thick black pillar of light shot up from the peak of the Nine Nether Demon Mountain, tearing a massive hole in the heavy blood-colored clouds!

Within that black pillar of light, an ancient, mottled black bell the size of a small hill was being forcibly pulled out from deep underground by an invisible force, inch by inch!

The giant bell was engraved with ancient totems of the sun, moon, stars, birds, beasts, fish, and insects, emitting a terrifying Imperial Might that suppressed all ages and looked down upon the heavens!

It was the Cult-Protecting Imperial Weapon that the Nine Nether Demonic Cult had passed down for hundreds of thousands of years—the nine nether bell!

"No—!!!"

Below, the heavily injured Liu Canghai saw this scene and felt his eyes nearly burst, letting out a roar of despair!

That was the root of the Nine Nether Demonic Cult! It was their last hope!

Now, it was being forcibly taken by the enemy to be sacrificed to an even more terrifying existence!

He struggled to get up and stop it, but he didn't even have the strength to move a finger. He could only watch helplessly as the giant bell slowly rose into the sky, out of control.

"It's over..."

"The Imperial Weapon is taken... Nine Nether is finished..."

At this moment, all the Demonic Cult Disciples closed their eyes in despair.

Liu Ruyan's face was as pale as paper, and her whole body was trembling. She stared blankly at the giant bell flying into the sky, then instinctively looked at Ye Linghan beside her.

However, this time, Ye Linghan did not act immediately as she had imagined.

This bewitching Demoness merely tilted her head slightly, looking at the giant bell and then at the bottomless black space rift slowly opening above the Heavenly Demon's head due to the sacrifice ritual.

Her Phoenix eyes, burning with demonic flames, narrowed slightly. She seemed to be evaluating something, or perhaps... anticipating something.

[What is this Crazy Woman doing?]

Su Chen looked at Ye Linghan's appearance, his heart full of doubt.

[She's not making a move? Is she waiting for the person the other side called to show up before wiping them all out at once?]

[Playing it this big?]

Just then, a terrifying pressure far exceeding that of a Great Emperor and even carrying a hint of the aura of Immortal Dao Laws slowly seeped out from that pitch-black rift!

That pressure seemed to come from another higher-dimensional world. Just a sliver of its aura caused the heavenly Laws of the entire Xuanyuan Continent to let out a groan of unbearable burden!

Space was cracking inch by inch!

The earth was sinking!

It was as if the apocalypse had arrived early!

Su Chen felt his Divine Soul tremble uncontrollably under this pressure!

[Holy crap! What the hell is this Realm?!]

Su Chen's heart instantly leaped into his throat.

He had no doubt that once the big guy behind the rift truly descended, forget the Nine Nether Demon Domain, the entire Xuanyuan Continent would be finished!

However, at this critical juncture.

A crazy thought flashed through Su Chen's mind!
