The earth shook, and countless lands cracked open.

Within these fissures, the shadow of a monster slowly emerged, poking its head out.

This monster had three horns on top of its head.

One on each side and one on its forehead.

Its entire body was dark red, but more terrifying was that it had only one eye.

This eye vertically stretched across its face, and its mouth opened to reveal dense, neatly arranged teeth.

Making those with trypophobia unable to bear looking directly.

As the earths tremors grew stronger, the monster gradually revealed its whole body.

Its body was immense, with rows of spikes protruding from its back.

Its limbs, though robust, were somewhat short.

When the monster appeared, the surrounding dust surged into the air, the ground shook, and the entire firmament looked as though it had been drenched in blood.

"So this is the Witch Demon, Zhang Huajin said coldly, with eyes like torches.

However, evidently, no one answered his question.

Because the Witch Demons huge body looked at Zhang Huajin, then reached out to grab the Immortal Ship in the firmament.

"Damn, Zhang Huajin snorted coldly, Sword, come.

Beside him, two sword-holding Sword Slaves hurriedly raised their Longswords, followed by two clangs; two radiant Longswords danced in the void.

One sword was a Longsword, and the other was a Shortsword.

The pair of swords concealed in the sleeve, while the other emitted Heaven Shaking sword radiance.

Seeing the Witch Demons large hand, Zhang Huajin directly leaped into the air.

A powerful Holy King aura emanated outward.

With a boom, the Sword Intent struck the Witch Demons arm.

However, to Zhang Huajins surprise, the arm remained unharmed under the powerful Sword Intent.

The explosion sounded again, this time the Witch Demons giant hand gripping one end of the Immortal Ship, forcibly dragging it down.

Within the Immortal Ship, bang bang bang explosions continuously rang out.

"Sword rises in the Firmament, the wind descends Hengyu.

Zhang Huajin, somewhat angry, swung his Longsword like a storm, attempting to tear apart everything in its path.

The Sword Intent descended again, harshly slashing the Witch Demons body.

A sound akin to heavens wrath echoed, showing clearly the force of this sword.

Yet, the Witch Demon appeared impassive, not hesitant in the slightest.

The massive Immortal Ship was thus forcibly torn into two.

Countless Holy Court members escaped in panic.

Initially, many Holy Court members were unwilling to show themselves, especially since the Demon Lord was absent, they were lazy to appear.

Now that their refuge was destroyed, they had no choice but to show themselves.

Among this group, setting aside the Great Emperor and ordinary Great Saints, the most impressive in power.

Was Zhang Huajin and an elder among them.

When the Immortal Ship was destroyed, others fled in panic, only that elder sat cross-legged in the void.

His demeanor was calm, unaffected by anything.

The Witch Demon slightly frowned, directly punching forward.

The fist struck the elder, instantly triggering a powerful shield around him.

But the fists force, after all, was astounding, directly knocking the elder away.

The elders figure retreated several hundred meters, then slowly stood up, looked at Zhang Huajin, and said, When did this Demon Realm have such a presence?

"Im afraid its power already exceeds the Holy King, the elder added.

Although he said that its power exceeded the Holy King, this Witch Demon was still far from reaching the realm of a Dao Fruit Powerhouse.

If it were a Dao Fruit Powerhouse, fear not any other, just a single finger could crush it.

That is the terror of a Dao Fruit Powerhouse.

They are the strongest beings in this world, having unlocked eleven Vein Gates.

As for the so-called twelve Vein Gates, they only exist in legend, no one has seen them.

………

"You havent realized, this Witch Demon is a deceased entity, revived by the Purgatory Demon Charioteer using life as a sacrificial offering and nurturing its heart, Zhang Huajin explained.

"Every attack from the Witch Demon expends Life Force.

Once the Life Force is exhausted, the Witch Demon will naturally die.

"So, youre saying we only need to deplete its Life Force, avoiding direct combat, the elder also understood.

The two started skirmishing around the Witch Demon from left and right.

As for the other Holy Court members, they supported from the side.

The Witch Demon seemed a bit enraged by the attacks, seeing it roar, its originally red body suddenly turned even bloodier.

Its skin seemed to flow with blood, starting to boil.

"Careful, Zhang Huajin shouted, everyone move away.

But it was too late, the Witch Demons body expanded several dimensions.

And centered around it, countless waves of Demonic Qi surged from all directions.

Although Zhang Huajin and the elder narrowly avoided the onslaught, the other Holy Court Powerhouses were hit by the Demonic Qi.

All were confined in place.

Then, three blood horns atop the Witch Demons head emitted blood light that soared into the sky, forming a blood-red vortex in the void.

Powerful suction came from the vortex, aiming to engulf all these Powerhouses into it.

Although the two did not know the outcome of being consumed, they could sense the vortexs might.

"What should we do? Zhang Huajin looked at the elder, somewhat helplessly asking.

"Lets combine our strengths to attack this Witch Demon; I refuse to believe we cant harm it, the elder exclaimed.

Zhang Huajin slightly nodded, raising his dual swords, one a Longsword, the other a dagger-like Shortsword.

As the two swords were raised, behind him, True Fate Emergence appeared, seemingly a fleeting figure wielding a sword together with him.

Slowly, Zhang Huajin lowered the Longsword, as sword light flared up.

The sword then vanished, leaving only endless Sword Intent behind, like a slashing galaxy from the horizon.

Meanwhile, the elder continued sitting cross-legged, while a mighty sphere gathered in the palm of his right hand.

This sphere intertwined with various Principles.

Including Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder Emotions, and Dark transformations.

The sphere was directly thrown out, and together with the Sword Intent, exploded on the Witch Demons body.

Another deafening explosion resonated.

Despite such fierce attacks, even the Witch Demons formidable body was blown away.

However, when Zhang Huajin looked up, the Firmaments vortex hadnt ceased.

Many Holy Court inhabitants had already been consumed within.

"Lord, save us.

The two exchanged a glance, clearly powerless against the Witch Demon.

"Use the Immortal Talisman, the elder suggested.

"This was bestowed by the Immortal Lord, only to be used in times of life crisis and crucial moments, Zhang Huajin seemed reluctant.

Only they understood the importance of the Immortal Talisman.

Its equivalent to a life-saving device.

"The Demon Lord has fled since our arrival, weve gained nothing from this journey.

If the Holy Court suffers such a heavy loss, do you think the Immortal Lord wont be furious upon our return? the elder retorted.

"The Immortal Talisman can be obtained again, but if these people die, theyll truly be dead.
