177: The Demon King descends, struggling in his death throes.

"Ye... Yes! May I ask, Fairy, who are you..."

Li Changgeng struggled to stand up and asked respectfully. He could feel that although the young girl before him was young, her cultivation had already reached the Nascent Soul Mid Stage, and the sword in her hand gave him a heart-pounding sensation.

More importantly, from the girl's brow, he saw a hint of charm extremely similar to that of his master.

"I am his daughter," Chu Lingxi said indifferently. "Father sent me to tell you to stay here peacefully. Once we finish cleaning up the trash outside, we will deal with your matters."

With that, her figure flashed, merging into the Void Realm once more and disappearing.

"D... daughter?"

The six Void Refining Ancestors looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock.

The master's daughter was actually this powerful too?

Recalling that stunning sword light from moments ago, their reverence for Chu He deepened even further.

This was no longer just a Family; it was clearly a den of monsters!

...At the same time Chu Lingxi rescued the six Void Refining Ancestors, in the center of the battlefield, the figure of the Blood Slaughter Demon King finally descended.

"Boom!"

His massive demonic body, like a blood-colored meteorite, slammed heavily onto the ground, causing the entire base to shake violently.

A terrifying pressure belonging to the Integration Realm Great Perfection swept out in all directions like a tangible tide.

Chu Tian and Chu Batian, who were currently on a killing spree, felt their bodies stiffen simultaneously, as if an invisible divine mountain were pressing down on them, their movements becoming sluggish.

"All of you... die for this King!"

The Blood Slaughter Demon King's eyes were crimson, appearing like a crazed demon.

He opened his bloody maw and took a sudden, deep breath.

A terrifying devouring force erupted. Thousands of Demon Race warriors surrounding and fighting Chu Batian didn't even have time to scream before their bodies exploded uncontrollably, turning into the purest flesh and blood essence, which he swallowed in a single gulp.

After devouring the essence of thousands of his subordinates, the Blood Slaughter Demon King's already burly body swelled again. His injuries seemed to recover slightly, and his aura became even more violent.

"Using the lives of subordinates to replenish yourself? The Demon Race truly lives up to its reputation."

Chu He watched this scene, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes.

"Native! You seek death!"

The Blood Slaughter Demon King noticed Chu He's contemptuous gaze, and the fury in his heart erupted completely.

He roared, his fingers forming a claw. A blood-colored claw radiance, a thousand feet long and condensed from the pure law of destruction, tore through the void and struck down toward Chu He's head.

This claw contained all his power as an Integration Realm Great Perfection, enough to easily tear a star to pieces.

He wanted to crush this native who dared to provoke him, along with his Divine Soul, into powder!

Facing this world-destroying strike, Chu He didn't even lift an eyelid.

He just floated quietly in place, letting the blood-colored claw radiance fall.

At the very moment the claw radiance was about to touch his body, Chu He finally moved.

He slowly raised his right hand, pressing his index and middle fingers together, and lightly tapped toward the massive blood-colored claw radiance.

"Freeze."

A plain word escaped his mouth.

Words Manifest as Law!

In an instant, an invisible power of Law descended.

The blood-colored claw radiance, capable of tearing stars apart, came to a screeching halt less than three inches above Chu He's head, abruptly freezing in mid-air like a still frame from a painting.

"W... What?!"

The Blood Slaughter Demon King's pupils shrank, and the expression on his face was more terrified than if he had seen a ghost.

His full-power strike was actually frozen by the opponent with just one word?

How is this possible?!

What Divine Ability is this? What Law is this?

He had never seen, nor even heard of, such a domineering and unreasonable power!

Fear, like a boundless tide, instantly flooded his mind.

He finally understood that what he was facing was not some Integration Realm expert at all, but a terrifying existence he completely could not comprehend or contend with!

"Flee! I must flee!"

At this moment, any dignity as a Devil King or the survival of the base were all thrown to the back of his mind.

Only one thought remained in his heart: to survive!

The Blood Slaughter Demon King made a prompt decision, the demonic essence in his body burning frantically as he turned to tear through space and escape.

However, how could Chu He give him this chance?

"Did I say you could leave?"

The cold voice, like a death sentence from the Grim Reaper, rang in the Blood Slaughter Demon King's ears.

Chu He's pressed-together sword fingers flicked lightly toward the frozen blood-colored claw radiance.

"Shatter."

"Crack!"

The massive blood-colored claw radiance shattered upon command, turning into a sky full of light specks.

Immediately after, Chu He's figure vanished from the spot instantly.

When he reappeared, he was already in front of the Blood Slaughter Demon King, still maintaining that calm and composed demeanor, as if he were merely doing something trivial.

"You..."

Looking at Chu He who was right before him, the Blood Slaughter Demon King was scared out of his wits and was about to beg for mercy.

But Chu He had already raised his hand, pressing a palm onto the crown of his head.

"Soul Search."

Two cold words were uttered, and a peerless power of the Divine Soul, like a bursting flood, instantly surged into the Blood Slaughter Demon King's Sea of Consciousness.

"Ah—!!!"

A shrill scream, not sounding human, came from the Blood Slaughter Demon King's mouth.

In his Sea of Consciousness, it was as if billions of feet of stormy waves had been whipped up. His memories, his Divine Soul, his everything, were brutally torn open and flipped through before that overbearing and peerless soul power.

Regarding the organization of the Star-Devouring Demon Clan, the movements of the main army, and that supreme Devil Emperor... all secrets were laid bare to Chu He at this moment.

In just a few breaths' time, Chu He withdrew his palm.

And the Blood Slaughter Demon King, this once-renowned Integration Realm Great Perfection Devil King, now had his eyes rolled back, foaming at the mouth, having completely become an idiot with a shattered Divine Soul.

"So that's how it is... the Seal is loosening, and the Devil Emperor is about to awaken?"

Chu He digested the information in his mind, a look of realization flashing in his eyes.

HeWith a casual wave, a surge of mana burst forth, completely binding the now-useless Blood Slaughter Demon King before tossing him into the storage space of the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda.

This was a "nutrient" at the Integration Realm Great Perfection, perfect for filling the myriad spirit blood pool.

Having done all this, Chu He looked up, his gaze sweeping across the entire battlefield.

With the fall of the Blood Slaughter Demon King, the remaining Demon Race army had completely collapsed, scattering and fleeing in disarray under the pursuit of Chu Tian and Chu Batian.

"The game should end now."

Chu He's expression was indifferent as he slowly raised his right hand.

This time, within his palm, a slowly rotating black and white grinding mill appeared once again.

Only this time, the grinding mill was thousands of times larger than the previous one!
