A powerful Demon Breath surged out of the Teleportation Array.

In mid-air, it condensed into a gigantic demon figure.

This demon was as tall as three men, but lacked eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.

This was the distinctive symbol of a Corpse Demon.

"Corpse Demon King..."

Chen Tian and Chen Zheng's faces turned pale.

Years ago, they had been hunted by the Corpse Demon King, and its terror remained fresh in their memories.

"Demon Fiend Bloodline!"

The Corpse Demon King operated the Demon Breath, probing towards Yang Tian, Chen Tian, and Chen Zheng.

It was somewhat excited.

"Great King, it's these three. If we kill them, we can use the Demon Fiend Bloodline in them to awaken our potential, thus entering the ranks of Fierce Demons!"

A respectful voice rang out.

Several demons were seen walking out from the Teleportation Array.

But soon, Yang Tian saw a familiar face: "Wu Tiandu!"

Indeed, accompanying the Corpse Demon was another demon, precisely Wu Tiandu.

Wu Tiandu coldly glanced at Yang Tian and respectfully said to the Corpse Demon King, "Corpse Demon King, I am also from Earth. I can help you deal with Yang Tian, just hope you can grant me Magic Power, so I can become the Celestial Demon King, ensuring peace and prosperity for both Celestial Demons and Corpse Demons forever."

The Corpse Demon King's face remained indifferent.

"Wu Tiandu, you're not worthy of being my ancestor!"

Wu Yue said angrily.

"Haha..." Wu Tiandu just laughed, "I am no longer of the Wu Family, nor am I from Earth. I am a demon!"

Despite Wu Tiandu's arrogance, Yang Tian paid it no heed.

Instead, he used his Divine Sense to probe the Corpse Demon King.

His heart sank, and he clenched his fist tightly.

This Corpse Demon King was a hundred times more terrifying than a Corpse Demon.

And a common Corpse Demon was already burdensome for Yang Tian; if a fight ensued, even ten Yang Tians wouldn't be a match for the Corpse Demon King.

Yang Tian held his fist tightly.

All he felt was unwillingness.

He couldn't believe there were such terrifying demon races in this Demon Realm.

For the first time, he realized his weakness.

At this moment, he longed for power, silently vowing: If I survive today, one day, I will become stronger, crush the entire Corpse Demon race underfoot, making them wish for death!

"Human, I sense intense unwillingness from you!"

The Corpse Demon King looked at Yang Tian with interest.

"Kill!"

Yang Tian spat out a word, drew his Holy Sword, and rushed forward, unleashing the third form of the Holy Sword, Sword of Annihilation.

A powerful Spiritual Breath surged out.

Yang Tian wielded the Holy Sword, slicing sword auras out in mid-air.

These sword auras formed into a Sword Dragon.

"A mere human dares to act presumptuous before me? Overestimating yourself!"

The Corpse Demon King raised a Demon Palm, shattering Yang Tian's Sword Dragon with one blow.

The hall fell into dead silence.

Yang Tian clenched his fist tightly, his nails piercing into his flesh, blood oozing out.

His eyes were filled with unwilling killing intent.

"Yang Tian, we are no match for the Corpse Demon King..."

Chen Tian and Chen Zheng's faces were bloodlessly pale.

"What now? Are we really going to die here?"

For the first time, Wu Yue felt death so close.

Even Ling Ying beside them looked despondent, fearing today might be their end.

Only Wu Zetian remained silent from beginning to end. In contrast, upon the Corpse Demon King's appearance, she kept staring at him intently.

A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, Wu Zetian waved her hand.

A sacred beam of light suddenly shot towards the Corpse Demon King's shoulder.

The beam came so swiftly that even the Corpse Demon King had no time to react, getting hit on the shoulder by the sacred light.

A gush of putrid blood-colored liquid spurted from the Corpse Demon King's shoulder.

With this, the surprise in Wu Zetian's eyes intensified.

"What's with this young girl now?"

The Corpse Demon King looked at Wu Zetian in confusion.

Not only the Corpse Demon King, but even Wu Tiandu, Wu Yue, Ling Ying, Chen Tian, and Chen Zheng all looked at Wu Zetian.

Just now, Wu Zetian unleashed a ray of sacred light.

What is she doing?

Wu Zetian's expression was extremely solemn, and she suddenly shouted at Yang Tian, "Foolish! Didn't I tell you to leave earlier? What are you trying to prove? Now, we're all going to die here!"

Hearing Wu Zetian's reprimand, Yang Tian's face turned cold.

As the Empress of Great Tang, Wu Zetian was accustomed to intrigue and was indifferent to life.

In her eyes, there was only herself.

Therefore, when danger arose, she thought of leaving first.

But Chen Tian and Chen Zheng were both people of the Chen Family, and if it wasn't for Yang Tian killing the Celestial Demon King, they wouldn't have been discovered by the Corpse Demons.

How could Yang Tian leave and escape alone?

"Mastermother, I've already said, if you're going to leave, leave by yourself!"

Yang Tian replied.

"Foolish!"

Wu Zetian was trembling with anger.

"Alas!" Chen Tian sighed heavily, "Yang Tian, your mastermother is right. We are demons, you are humans. You shouldn't stay here. If you escape, the Chen Family might still have a glimmer of hope, but now we have no hope at all!"

Upon hearing Chen Tian's sigh, Yang Tian clenched his fists, "There must be a way!"

"Utterly laughable, a stupid mule!"

Wu Zetian fumed inwardly.

"Are you still thinking of escaping?" The Corpse Demon King laughed loudly, "For centuries, anyone wanting to escape from under my nose? That's nothing but a fool's dream!"

Everyone was extremely solemn.

A single ordinary Corpse Demon had already greatly drained their primordial energy.

Now, the true Corpse Demon King had arrived to kill them, it seemed they really might die here today.

"Great King, they possess the Demon Fiend bloodline, we should slaughter them quickly!"

The Corpse Demon said respectfully.

"Corpse Demon King, if we kill them and grant me the status of Celestial Demon King, I can accompany you back to Huaxia Kingdom. I originally hail from Earth, with my assistance, it will be easier to blood-wash the Chen Family in the Capital City!"

Wu Tiandu also spoke respectfully.

"You're nothing but a dog!"

Yang Tian grasped the Holy Sword, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Even if he were to die, he would kill these demons.

"Humans, from you, I not only sense reluctance, but also a resolve! If you escape today, you will surely return for vengeance someday! Then, this king will have to look at you differently, for I see many things in you, just one thing puzzles this king..." The Corpse Demon King waved his hand, indicating not to attack Yang Tian yet, but asked with interest, "I've heard you killed the Celestial Demon King and Demon Ministers and revived them shortly after. This king wants to know, how did you do it?"

"It's none of your business!"

Yang Tian lifted the Holy Sword and recited the Holy Sword Heart Method in his mind.

"Impudent!"

The Corpse Demon shouted fiercely, a wave of demon breath transformed into a fierce palm, striking towards Yang Tian.

Yang Tian hadn't finished reciting the Holy Sword Heart Sutra before he was hit by the fierce palm.

The spiritual breath within boiled.

The Holy Sword in his hand flew out with a snap.

Yang Tian hurriedly operated the Heart Method to suppress the boiling spiritual breath within.

His complexion was a bit pale, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent and reluctance.

"It's pointless..." Wu Zetian shook her head as she glanced at Yang Tian, "You're too foolish. If you'd left earlier, we wouldn't be dying here. Chen Tian and the others are already demons, is it worth staying with them? Only by escaping alive do we have hope for revenge, why can't you understand this?"

"Mastermother, that's enough!"

Yang Tian shouted.

He disliked Wu Zetian's utilitarian nature.

In her eyes, her own life was valuable, and others' lives weren't?

"A rotten log can't be carved! Mud can't support a wall!"

Wu Zetian cursed angrily, then glanced at the Corpse Demon King and sighed, "Fine, someone has to die today, and someone must escape so that Great Tang won't perish..."

After a pause, Wu Zetian said, "Disciple, Mastermother will deal with the Corpse Demon King, you take Chen Tian and escape."

"Empress, what did you say?"

Wu Yue asked in astonishment.

Even Ling Ying, Chen Tian, Chen Zheng, and others looked at Wu Zetian puzzledly.

Yang Tian also subconsciously glanced at Wu Zetian, seeing her operate spiritual breath to gather a powerful sacred light within her body. Suddenly, he was struck, recalling Wu Zetian's solemn expression upon first seeing the Corpse Demon King, and just now, Wu Zetian had unleashed a strand of sacred light, hitting the Corpse Demon King's shoulder.

And the terrifying Corpse Demon King was also struck by Wu Zetian's sacred light, emitting a stream of corrosive black blood.

Initially, Yang Tian hadn't paid much attention.

At this moment, seeing Wu Zetian gathering strong sacred lights within her body, he reacted, "Mastermother, what are you doing? Are you planning to attack the Corpse Demon King with your sacred aura? But...but you'll die doing that!!!"

"Disciple, you're correct! This Corpse Demon King is filled with dark demon breath, my pure and sacred spiritual breath can restrain it!"

Wu Zetian's face was extremely solemn.

She paused for a moment and softly said to Yang Tian, "Disciple, Mastermother hopes you remember from now on to always prioritize the greater good; when necessary, let what can be sacrificed go, rather than being as foolish as a mule!"

Having finished speaking, Wu Zetian suddenly flew towards the Corpse Demon King.

At that moment, Yang Tian's mind roared, and he desperately flew up, intending to stop Wu Zetian, "Mastermother, stop immediately!!!"
