174: A thunderous attack enraged the Demon King.

Blood Slaughter Star Domain, Demon Race's frontline base, the Flesh and Blood Throne Hall.

The burly Blood Slaughter Demon King, with two horns on his head, sat cross-legged on a throne built from the skulls of countless living beings, regulating the injuries within his body.

His expression was so gloomy it looked as if water could drip from it.

Over a year had passed since he was heavily injured across the star gate by that native of the Xuanhuang Realm. That Spatial Storm, containing a domineering Fist Intent, had not only torn his Demonic Body but also struck a strange power of the law of destruction into his Origin, which he had still not been able to fully expel.

This meant his cultivation at the Integration Realm Great Perfection could currently only exert at most seventy percent of its power, a significant reduction in strength.

"Damned native! Once this king's injuries are healed, I will personally lead the army to grind your Xuanhuang Realm, along with your so-called Family, into dust!"

Blood Slaughter Demon King swore viciously in his heart.

To this day, he still couldn't understand how a low-level world that didn't even have the Void Refining Realm could produce such a monster. Not only could he trigger a Heavenly Tribulation to attack his Vanguard Fleet, but he could also blow up the star gate with a single punch and heavily injure him across worlds.

Such things had already exceeded his understanding.

Just as he was immersed in anger and frustration, a vast, boundless, and incomparably domineering terrifying pressure descended without warning, like the sky collapsing and the earth rending!

"Pfft!"

Blood Slaughter Demon King felt as if he had been struck by lightning; his already unstable Qi became turbulent, and he spat out a mouthful of purple-black demonic blood on the spot. The injuries that had just begun to improve worsened significantly in an instant.

"This is... the aura of the Integration Realm! And... it's even more powerful than when this king was at his peak!"

Blood Slaughter Demon King snapped his eyes open, his gaze filled with shock and disbelief.

This aura was all too familiar to him!

It was precisely that Xuanhuang Realm native who had heavily injured him across worlds!

How could he be here?!

"Enemy attack! Everyone on alert! Activate the Highest Rank Defense!"

Blood Slaughter Demon King's shock-and-rage-filled roar instantly echoed throughout the entire base.

In an instant, ear-piercing alarms resounded through the skies. Thousands of patrolling Demon Ships immediately turned their cannons, aiming at the direction the pressure was coming from. The Blood-colored Shield on the base's perimeter, constructed from the Laws of the Integration Realm, also burst with light, becoming incredibly solid.

Countless Demon Race warriors rushed out of their respective dens, looking toward the Void Realm with uncertainty.

At the end of their vision, three tiny figures were speeding toward the base at an incredible speed.

The man in the lead had black clothes and black hair, with an indifferent expression, as if he weren't charging into a heavily guarded military fortress but rather taking a stroll in his own back garden.

But the terrifying pressure emanating from his body made all the Demon Race who sensed it tremble from the depths of their Souls.

"It's him! It's really him!" Through the Monitoring Demonic Crystal in the hall, Blood Slaughter Demon King saw Chu He's face clearly, and the shock in his heart reached its peak.

Shouldn't he be in that remote Xuanhuang Realm? How did he cross the endless sea of stars and find this place so precisely?

Could it be... that the coordinates of that unstable star gate were leaked?

Countless thoughts flashed through Blood Slaughter Demon King's mind, but the current situation didn't allow him much time to think.

The enemy had already come knocking at his door!

"All Demon Ships, fire at will! Blast them to smithereens!" Blood Slaughter Demon King issued a hysterical command.

He didn't believe that even if the opponent was strong, they could actually take on the frontline base he had operated for thousands of years with just three people.

There were thousands of Demon Ships here, hundreds of thousands of Demon Race elites, and himself, a Devil King at the Integration Realm Great Perfection, presiding over it!

Following his command, the main cannons of thousands of Demon Ships began to charge simultaneously. Pillars of dark-red Demonic Energy light, as thick as mountains, converged into a torrent of death in the Void Realm, pouring toward Chu He's group of three.

This volley from thousands of Demon Ships was powerful enough to instantly evaporate a small planet. Even a powerhouse at the Late Stage of the Integration Realm wouldn't dare to face it head-on easily.

"Good timing!"

Facing this world-destroying strike, Chu Batian was not surprised but delighted, letting out a sky-shaking roar.

He was about to activate his Primordial Hegemon Body to step forward and tank it, but he was stopped by Chu He raising his hand.

"An attack of this level doesn't require you to act."

Chu He's expression was indifferent as he looked at the surging sea of Demonic Energy light. He simply raised his right hand casually and struck out with a flat palm.

There was no earth-shattering momentum, nor any dazzling brilliance.

This palm strike looked light and airy, as if he were merely shooing away a fly.

However, the moment his palm struck out, the space in front of him rippled like the surface of water.

Immediately after, an enormous, slowly rotating Black and White Taiji Diagram appeared out of thin air in front of the three of them.

It was precisely the supreme Divine Ability Chu He had recently acquired—the Yin-Yang Great Millstone!

That sea of Demonic Energy light, capable of destroying stars, crashed into the slowly rotating Yin-Yang Great Millstone. Like a clay ox entering the sea, it didn't even stir a single ripple before being silently swallowed, decomposed, and obliterated by the seemingly slow black and white grinding mill, eventually turning into the purest energy and dissipating into nothingness.

"..."

The entire Demon Race base fell into a dead silence.

All the Demon Race who witnessed this scene, whether they were ordinary warriors or Demon Generals in the Spirit Transformation Realm, stood frozen on the spot, their minds completely blank.

Inside the throne hall, the cruel smile on Blood Slaughter Demon King's face froze, replaced by endless fear.

What did he just see?

A volley from thousands of Demon Ships was actually neutralized by the opponent with a single, effortless move?

That... what Divine Ability was that? Why did that black and white grinding mill give him a terrifying feeling that it could even obliterate all things in heaven and earth?

"Monster! This guy is absolutely a monster!"

Blood Slaughter Demon King's body began to tremble uncontrollably. He finally realized what a terrifying existence he had provoked.

Meanwhile, Chu He had already brought his two sons to the outside of the base's Blood-colored Shield.

"Batian, I'll leave this turtle shell to you," Chu He said calmly.

"Alright! Father, just watch!"

Chu Batian could no longer hold back. Upon receiving the command, he laughed wildly, and his massive body surged again, transforming into a giant a hundred zhang tall.

He gripped the sky-opening tyrant axe tightly with both hands, pouring the power of his Primordial Hegemon Body into it without reservation. His entire being was like a golden sun, radiating endless light and heat.

"Break... for me!"

Along with a roar, the giant axe in Chu Batian's hand traced a path like the creation of the world, slamming fiercely onto that indestructible Blood-colored Shield!
