161: Chapter 161 The Wind Stops

The Northern Border.

The Zhenyuan Great Wall.

The once indestructible defense line of the Human Race had now been reduced to ruins.

Countless human soldiers lay in pools of blood, their fates unknown.

In the sky, a ten-thousand-zhang tall Abyss demon god stood like an insurmountable black divine mountain, weighing heavily on everyone's hearts.

At the Demon God's feet.

Qin Fuhai and Chu Zhan, the two National Guardian Martial Emperors, had their bones shattered, pinned deep into a crater like two piles of mud.

"Not here yet?"

The Demon God let out a yawn.

His voice was like rolling thunder, causing the surrounding Void Realm to continuously collapse.

In his eyes, which were like black holes, a flash of undisguised impatience flickered.

"Where is that so-called Genius of you humans?"

"This god has been waiting here for a full ten minutes."

"Why haven't I seen even a ghost of a shadow?"

The Demon God lowered his head, looking down at the two Martial Gods at the bottom of the pit.

A cruel and playful curve hooked at the corner of his mouth.

"Could it be..."

"That he has abandoned you?"

"Hiding away like a turtle retracting into its shell?"

Hearing these words.

Demon Emperor Heitian, who was kneeling in the Void Realm nearby, immediately approached with a fawning expression.

"Lord Demon God is wise!"

"The Human Race is nothing but a bunch of selfish, death-fearing ants!"

"That kid named Su Yu has likely been scared witless by your supreme Divine Might; he's probably trembling in some rat hole right now!"

"I ask that my Lord take action and crush these ants directly!"

The Demon God ignored Demon Emperor Heitian's flattery.

He simply looked down at Qin Fuhai and Chu Zhan, his eyes full of pity and mockery.

"Truly pathetic."

"Is this the race you are fighting so hard to protect?"

"Is this the Prodigy you placed such high hopes on?"

The Demon God shook his head, his tone carrying a sense of lofty superiority.

"Among the myriad races of the vast starry sky."

"Your main Human Race lineage can be considered one of the overlords."

"But your branch, lost here in the peripheral Star Domain, is so weak it's laughable."

"Laws are incomplete, and the Origin is exhausted."

"You can't even nurture a single starry sky lifeform capable of breaking through plane barriers."

"With great difficulty, a slightly talented mutant appeared, only to turn out to be a waste who fears death."

The Demon God let out a cold laugh, the Chaos currents on his body churning violently.

"Do you think he can survive by hiding?"

"Once this god crushes you and devours the Origin of this world,"

"Even if he flees to the ends of the earth, he will not escape my palm!"

At the bottom of the pit.

Chu Zhan coughed violently, each cough bringing up large fragments of internal organs.

But he was smiling.

Smiling with incomparable arrogance, smiling with incomparable gratification.

"Cough, cough... Hahaha!"

"Good that he ran!"

"That kid Su Yu... should have run!"

Chu Zhan struggled to lift his head, staring fixedly at the overbearing Demon God.

There was no fear in his eyes, only hatred and madness burning to the extreme!

"What the hell do you know!"

"He is only eighteen years old!"

"Eighteen years old and already able to insta-kill a Devil Emperor!"

"As long as he is given time, never mind a bullshit Demon God like you!"

"Even those old monsters in your Abyss Ancestral Land will eventually be crushed to death by him one by one!"

Qin Fuhai's face was also covered in blood as he spoke through gritted teeth.

"That's right!"

"Even if we two old bones break here today, it's worth it!"

"As long as Su Yu is still alive!"

"The spark of my Human Race will not be extinguished!"

"The further he runs, the better!"

"One day, he will trample your entire Abyss and slaughter all you bastards to the last!"

Although the voices of the two Martial Gods were weak, they carried an unyielding, iron-blooded will.

They were not afraid of death.

They only feared that the Human Race would have no future.

And now, Su Yu's failure to appear was the best news!

It meant that Huo Zhenshan had successfully hidden Su Yu away!

The hope of the Human Race was preserved!

Hearing the roars of the two Martial Gods.

The Demon God's gaze instantly turned cold.

The surrounding temperature plummeted at a terrifying speed.

Even space began to freeze into shards of ice.

"Stubborn?"

Undisguised killing intent emanated from the Demon God's voice.

"Mere ants dare to bark before this god!"

"Since that waste doesn't dare to come,"

"Then you two can go die first!"

The Demon God had completely lost his patience.

He slowly raised his massive foot, which was composed entirely of star fragments.

He aimed it at Qin Fuhai and Chu Zhan at the bottom of the pit.

He prepared to crush these two pillars of the Human Race into meat paste with a single stomp!

"Sending you to the afterlife!"

Rumble—!!!

The massive foot descended with a world-destroying, terrifying pressure!

Space collapsed inch by inch.

The violent Chaos currents completely ground the surrounding Zhenyuan Great Wall into powder.

Qin Fuhai and Chu Zhan closed their eyes.

There was no despair.

Only composure.

"Great Xia Kingdom..."

"Victory!"

The two of them let out a final roar in their hearts.

Just as that massive foot, capable of stomping a star to pieces, was less than ten meters from the heads of the two Martial Gods.

Just as cruel, wild laughter appeared on the faces of Heitian and the other three Devil Emperors.

Just as the human soldiers across the Northern Border fell into complete despair.

Screech—!

A slight, yet incomparably clear sound of tearing.

Suddenly echoed between heaven and earth.

Immediately following that.

Beneath the Demon God's massive foot.

Above the heads of Qin Fuhai and Chu Zhan.

An extremely smooth spatial rift was forcibly torn open without any warning!

Buzz!

A fair, slender human palm that seemed to possess no sense of power at all.

Slowly reached out from the spatial rift.

And then.

It simply and casually pushed upward.

Bang!!!

An extremely dull sound of collision exploded in the Void Realm!

There was no world-shaking energy storm.

No blinding light tearing the sky.

Everything came to an abrupt halt the moment that fair palm supported the Demon God's foot!

Quiet.

A deathly silence.

The wind stopped.

Space froze.

The Demon God's massive foot, carrying ten trillion terrifying combat power and capable of stomping this world to pieces.

Was stopped dead in mid-air!

It could no longer advance even half an inch!

"What?!"

The Demon God's black-hole-like eyes suddenly shrank to the size of needlepoints!

He felt that what he was stepping on was not a human palm at all.

But an unshakeable Universe barrier!

No matter how he urged the trillion units of blood Qi in his body, that fair palm remained as steady as Mount Tai.

It didn't even tremble!

"Who?!"

The Demon God let out a roar of shock and anger.

For the first time, a trace of panic could be heard in his voice.

At the bottom of the pit.

Qin Fuhai and Chu Zhan, who had already closed their eyes to wait for death, noticed the anomaly.

They struggled to open their eyes.

The scene before them caused the brains of the two National Guardian Martial Emperors to go completely blank instantly.

They saw.

From within that torn spatial rift.

An eighteen-year-old youth in casual clothes with a youthful face was slowly stepping out.

His right hand was still held in an upward supporting posture.

With a single hand.

He held up the Demon God's foot.

And behind the youth followed an old man who was trembling with excitement and agitation.

Huo Zhenshan!

"Su... Su Yu?!"

Chu Zhan's eyes widened so much they nearly popped out.

Qin Fuhai sucked in a breath of cold air, his voice trembling violently.

"You... why are you here?!"

"Old Huo! Are you fucking crazy?! Didn't I tell you to take him and run!!!"
