The Sea Blood Demon King could easily annihilate a group of self-proclaimed exceptional Celestial Prides with a casual flick of a finger, turning them into blood mist.

"Destroy them for me!"

The cold voice of the Sea Blood Demon King echoed as his blood-red mouth opened wide, and a terrifying blood cloud floated out, crashing onto the blue shield.

Boom!

At this moment, an Elder dressed in white robes stepped out from the void, staring solemnly at the Sea Blood Demon King.

It was the Elder of the Life and Death Palace, possessing the combat power of a high-tier Life and Death Realm King.

With a light wave of his hand, a terrifying blue giant palm was released, extinguishing the blood mist in mid-air. The terrifying airwaves seemed like stars exploding, and the powerful gusts extended deep into the cosmos. Without the blue shield's protection, these terrifying shockwaves would have turned Chu Ming and the others into blood mist.

"Quickly disperse and escape, run towards the Life and Death Tower as much as you can!"

The Elder in white hesitated slightly before biting his teeth and saying, realizing from the recent clash that the Sea Blood Demon King's combat power was not inferior to his. If both were to unleash their full power, he would have no time to care for Chu Ming and the others' survival.

"I can smell the fragrance of your essence blood. If I consume your essence blood, I might evolve!"

Seeing the Elder in white, a trace of greed flashed in the Sea Blood Demon King's eyes, as the Demon Race was inherently belligerent. Even among the same race, they would engage in fierce battles over disagreements, making the competition extremely cruel and driving them to use any means to increase their strength within the restricted area.

"Hmph, you want to consume my essence blood? I fear you don't have the skill!"

The Elder in white said coldly, retreating with his palms. Instantly, two terrifying blue vortexes descended from the sky, resembling two reversed galaxies, the vast aura shaking heaven and earth, making all dimensions submit.

"Humans are just all talk!"

Facing the Elder in white's attack, the Sea Blood Demon King showed no fear. His massive body moved slightly, instantly crushing towards the Elder in white. The terrifying waves caused the galaxy to tremble, countless stars shattered into dust, and the demon shadow swallowed the sky, overwhelming the sun, destroying heaven and earth.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A fierce battle between a person and a demon ensued, and the terrifying shockwaves severed the galaxy, dimming the sun and moon. The light blue shield around the Celestial Prides cracked, their faces turning deadly pale as they held their breath, staring intensely at the light blue shield.

They knew their chances of survival today depended on their own skills.

"Chu Ming!"

A pleasant and familiar voice sounded next to Chu Ming's ear, causing his face to show a slight daze before turning to look. He saw a woman in a fiery red robe staring at him with joy.

"Yu Yan?"

Chu Ming's face showed surprise, and then his expression turned grim. He had always thought Feng Yuyan did not participate in the battle for the king, expecting he could escape without any concern. But unexpectedly, Feng Yuyan not only participated in the battle for the king but also turned out to be among the distinguished Four-Star Celestial Prides.

"Follow me when we escape later!"

Chu Ming advised, his face calm as he stared at the endless demons outside the light blue shield, feeling gloomy inside. Although with his combat power, he had a chance to escape without encountering a Demon King.

Yet, at this moment, the sky was filled with numerous Life and Death Realm Kings and Demon Kings, and the shockwaves from their battles could only be described as earth-shattering. If caught in one, survival would be impossible.

"Okay!"

Feng Yuyan nodded gently, secretly determined to work harder on her cultivation. She felt immense pressure from Chu Ming, knowing if she didn't work hard, not even his shadow would be visible.

Crack!

Boom!

Under the intense gaze of the Celestial Prides, the light blue shield shattered suddenly, terrifying demonic qi rushed in, mixed with nauseating blood-killing aura.

"Escape!"

"Run for your lives!"

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Originally high and mighty Celestial Prides now fled furiously like stray dogs with pale faces.

"Let's go too!"

Chu Ming's eyes flickered as he spoke in a deep voice, grabbing Feng Yuyan's right hand with his left, swiftly flying towards the Life and Death Tower.

In this world, the Life and Death Tower seemed to be the only pure land, emitting the vast Power of the Sun. This blazing Radiant Power was the bane of demons.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Spiritual power within Chu Ming's body suddenly erupted, resembling a terrifying sun. The Blood Dome Sword in his hand moved freely, and within moments, several Fifth Level demons fell under his sword.

Fifth Level demons were equivalent to the human Realm of Transcendence and were simply no match for his strike.

They were not far from the Life and Death Tower. Normally, it would be a mere blink of an eye, but now, due to the battle between Life and Death Realm Kings and Demon Kings, the surrounding space was already chaotic. Even Chu Ming dared not use instant teleportation for fear of getting lost in the space, which would mean eternal banishment.

Boom!

A pitch-black terrifying war elephant stepped out from the space, its long trunk dancing wildly. A casual breath from it could stir up a space storm. The demonic flame burned lavishly in front of it, and upon its appearance, the entire space was faintly suppressed. One step crushed stars and trembled the galaxy, causing the surrounding space to shatter instantly.

Giant Elephant Battle King!

"Delicious blood meal!"

The Giant Elephant Battle King stomped its right foot infused with the Secrets of Power and Secrets of Immortality, causing stars to fall, darkness to cast over the world, plunging the entire realm into chaos.

"Ah!!"

A human king, unable to evade, was instantly stomped, his body nearly shattered within moments, blood splashing everywhere. The Giant Elephant Battle King inhaled lightly, the essence blood transforming into a river, rushing into its trunk.

Boom!

The Giant Elephant Battle King was about to continue killing the human king, but its expression suddenly turned solemn. A pitch-black canopy enveloped it instantly, and the surrounding turned into a dark void, like an endless starry sky.

"Night Emperor, I know it's you. Come out now!"

The Giant Elephant Battle King shouted coldly. He had fought countless times with the human Emperor, deeply familiar with this trick.

Swoosh!

A rift opened in the pitch-black night sky, and the Night Emperor stepped out, staring solemnly at the Giant Elephant War Emperor. If ranked among the Demon Emperor's five great War Generals, the Giant Elephant Battle King would be in the top two.

"You are no match for me!"

The Giant Elephant Battle King snorted coldly, saying icily.

"My task is to hold you back!"

The Night Emperor's face was icy as she spoke coldly. Indeed, in terms of combat power, she couldn't match the Giant Elephant Battle King, but killing her in less than three days and nights was impossible for the Giant Elephant Battle King.

In fact, when kings and emperors fought, defeating was easy, but to completely kill the opponent was as hard as climbing the heavens.
