161: Cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, leaving no one alive.

When Demon Venerable Chong Lou's massive demonic body turned into ash and scattered in the cold winds of the Northern Ice Field, the entire world fell into a dead silence.

With a snap of his fingers, he had annihilated an Integration Realm Demon Venerable.

What kind of Divine Might was this?

What kind of great power was this?

The Xuanhuang Realm Cultivators watching from afar had completely lost the ability to think. Their minds were blank, and they just stared blankly at the figure in green robes floating in the air, as if they were looking up at a deity walking among mortals.

The pride they held as Soul Transformation Ancestors had long been crushed to pieces, with not even a speck remaining.

In front of such a person, the cultivation they took pride in, their so-called thousand years of Dao practice, was simply a joke.

As for the children of the Chu family, after a brief moment of shock, their hearts swelled with unparalleled pride and glory.

"Father is mighty!"

Chu Batian was the first to react, shouldering his sky-opening tyrant axe and shouting excitedly.

"Father is too strong!" Chu Yuning's large eyes sparkled like stars, filled with adoration.

Although Chu Tian didn't speak, his hand tightly gripping the chaos annihilation dragon spear and his slightly trembling body betrayed his inner excitement.

He secretly resolved that one day, he would also become as powerful as his father, able to truly protect his father and this family from the wind and rain!

Chu He ignored everyone's reactions. He simply looked calmly at the place where Chong Lou had dissipated, and with a thought of his Divine Thought, he snatched an Origin core emitting pure Devilish Qi from the Void Realm.

This was the Integration Realm dao fruit essence left behind after Chong Lou's death.

"Good nourishment."

He casually tossed the dao fruit essence into the storage space of the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda, planning to refine it with the "fortune furnace" later.

Having done all this, he turned around, his gaze sweeping over the ordinary Demon Race warriors who were frozen in place, their eyes filled with despair and fear.

As his gaze swept past, the power that had imprisoned heaven and earth finally began to slowly dissipate.

"Ahhh! Lord Demon Venerable is dead!"

"Run! Run away quickly!!"

"This is a devil! He's not human!"

The moment they regained their freedom, the remaining tens of thousands of Demon Race warriors completely collapsed. They could no longer muster even a shred of resistance. Like startled birds and beasts, they fled madly in all directions, only wishing their parents had given them two more legs.

However, just as they thought they could escape with their lives, a cold and indifferent voice, like a wind from the Nine Netherworlds, swept across the entire battlefield.

"Did I give you permission to leave?"

Chu He's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of every demon.

Along with his words, he just lightly stomped his foot.

*Thud!*

A dull sound rang out.

With him as the center, an invisible ripple of Law, like ripples on the water's surface, instantly spread out and enveloped the entire Northern Ice Field.

The fleeing demons, whether flying in the sky or running on the ground, the moment they touched this ripple, it was as if they hit an invisible wall. One by one, they were bounced back, falling over themselves.

Space was sealed!

Under Chu He's stomp, the entire Northern Ice Field had already turned into a massive cage that allowed entry but no exit!

"No! Let me out!"

"I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"

Desperate roars rose and fell one after another.

Chu He ignored the wails of these defeated dogs. He turned his head and looked at his children, his voice returning to its usual gentleness.

"Alright, the warm-up is over. What comes next is the real trial."

"Remember, there is no need for any mercy toward enemies."

"When cutting the weeds, you must remove the roots."

"Go, clean this place up."

"Yes, Father!"

Chu Tian, Chu Batian, and the others shouted in unison, their eyes once again burning with intense Battle Intent.

This time, it was no longer a simple battle, but a one-sided massacre for the purpose of training!

Over a dozen Spirit Transformation Realm divine sons and daughters, holding Dao Artifact-grade bloodline armaments, charged into the army of tens of thousands of trapped demons like tigers into a flock of sheep, setting off a storm of blood.

Chu He did not strike again.

He no longer needed to personally deal with these small fry. It was more important for the children to familiarize themselves with their power in actual combat and temper their killing intent.

His gaze shifted to the center of the battlefield, toward the flesh-and-blood star gate that had become extremely unstable due to Demon Venerable Chong Lou's death.

The star gate was still there, meaning the passage on the other side had not completely closed.

Chu He narrowed his eyes, and his vast Integration Realm Divine Thought pierced through the distorted space, peering toward the other end of the star gate.

In an instant, he felt an angry will more than ten times more terrifying than Demon Venerable Chong Lou's. It was madly battering the fragile passage from the other side of the star gate, seemingly trying to force its descent!

That aura had shockingly reached the Late Stage of the Integration Realm, or even... Great Perfection!

"Who is it!!!"

A voice filled with endless rage and killing intent boomed from within the star gate like billions of thunderclaps, shaking the entire Northern Ice Field violently.

"Who! Who dares to kill my general Chong Lou!!"

"Come out and meet your death!!!"

The pressure contained in this voice caused the distant Soul Transformation Ancestors to cough up blood, their minds on the verge of shattering.

Just a roar from across another world possessed such Divine Might!

What kind of terrifying existence was the newcomer?

However, faced with this terrifying interrogation, a hint of an interested smile appeared on Chu He's face.

Another one coming to deliver their head?

And a big one at that.

Not bad.
