Above the sea of blood, crimson waves churned and surged. Drawn by an invisible force, the viscous blood formed countless whirlpools, while dark-red waves spread toward the endless horizon. The air reeked of rust and sulfur, and every breath burned the lungs with searing pain.
Three figures darted and shifted through the blood-red domain, moving so quickly that they tore through the air with shrill whines.
Their movements left behind a chain of fleeting vacuums above the sea. The blood was forced aside before rushing back together, creating rings of ripples and stirring up storm after storm of crimson.
An ordinary person would not even be able to catch a glimpse of their afterimages here, much less interfere in a battle that surpassed the limits of mortal understanding.
Of course, aside from the three of them, there was no fourth person here.
Boom!
Another collision sent a shockwave expanding outward in a ring, lifting the sea of blood into colossal waves thousands of yards high. Xia Lun and Aina were both blasted backward, carving two long trails across the blood before barely managing to steady themselves.
What a terrifying opponent. Even with Xia Lun and Aina fighting together, they were still at a disadvantage.
In the past, such a thing would have been unimaginable.
The Chaos Demon God stood where he was. The six arms behind him crushed the streaks of blood-red light in their grasp.
The blood-red light shattered into specks of radiance and faded into the air. As those specks drifted downward, the sea of blood below began to boil and, as though it possessed a life of its own, devoured the remnants of magic.
He was still growing stronger.
The soul of the Chaos Demon God… possessed the ability to devour as well.
Aina’s figure trembled slightly. A thread of blood slipped from the corner of her mouth, stark against her pale skin.
“Are you all right?” Xia Lun’s heart clenched. He hurriedly asked her, the worry in his voice impossible to conceal.
“Worry about yourself first.” Aina casually raised a hand and wiped the blood from her lips with the back of her finger. The motion was so elegant that it seemed she was merely brushing away a flower petal. “Don’t go and leave me a widow.”
She tried to keep her tone light, but the slight tremor in her fingers betrayed her true condition.
The corners of the Chaos Demon God’s mouth curved upward.
“It has been a long time since I’ve enjoyed such a satisfying battle. You two have certainly given me quite a surprise… I never expected this era to produce beings whose power could approach that of Demon Gods and Celestial Gods. Truly astonishing.”
Xia Lun gave a somewhat bitter smile.
He knew that the Chaos Demon God was telling the truth. Even now, the Chaos Demon God had never made a killing move.
He was simply treating them as opponents to amuse himself.
But they seemed to be running out of time… Outside, the Arcane Sage and the other gods were still fighting the rampaging body of the Chaos Evil God. At any moment, another planet might be swallowed.
Xia Lun exchanged a glance with Aina. No words were necessary; they instantly understood each other’s intentions.
A dark-red magical halo spread from the tip of her staff, enveloping Xia Lun’s entire body. In an instant, Xia Lun felt the power within him surge like a river bursting through its banks. His aura rose another level.
Aina also retreated into the distance, powerful magic gathering within her crimson staff.
It was time to end this quickly.
“Interesting.”
The six arms behind the Chaos Demon God clenched into fists. His figure flickered like a ghost, crossing a hundred yards in an instant and appearing before Xia Lun.
His attacks descended like a torrential rain. The six arms became a blur of afterimages, while the vacuum waves produced by his fists tore through the air and pushed the surrounding blood aside, creating a brief domain of emptiness.
The arms behind the Chaos Demon God were anything but ornamental. Xia Lun felt as though he were facing an entire army, with attacks coming at him from every direction.
In terms of strength… Xia Lun was no match for the Chaos Demon God.
In terms of technique… During the cycles of reincarnation throughout the Age of Void, the Chaos Demon God had fought the Clan Head for countless years. His combat skills were no weaker than Xia Lun’s—in fact, they were superior.
This was the first time Xia Lun had been completely outclassed in every aspect.
Xia Lun had already switched to dual blades, but his ice sword and blood sword struggled desperately to withstand the Chaos Demon God’s assault.
The sword formed from the fire sword’s power was ultimately too fragile and could easily be breached by an attack.
Every flash of fist force was heavy and overwhelming, sending Xia Lun’s blood surging violently through his body.
There were no special or flashy techniques—only simple, overwhelming strength.
Presumably, that was exactly how all of Xia Lun’s opponents usually felt.
The Chaos Demon God’s control and understanding of power were no inferior to Xia Lun’s. Even the slightest brush of his fist wind felt as if Xia Lun had taken a direct punch.
“I always believed that the humans of this era were fragile, insignificant creatures… After all, you are merely remnants that crawled out from the ashes of the Celestial God race…” The Chaos Demon God looked at Xia Lun, who continued to hold on despite his bitter struggle, and could not help but praise him. “But you have given me an entirely new understanding.”
“As expected, anyone with even the slightest connection to that fellow, the Clan Head, is never simple.”
“Then let me use this move to finish you.”
Six crimson spheres of light slowly condensed upon the six arms behind the Chaos Demon God. They were no ordinary lights, but energy compressed to its absolute limit. Countless tiny fragments of space and time lived and died within them, while the fundamental laws themselves twisted and tore apart.
An aura of destruction and death enveloped Xia Lun like a shadow.
“Chaotic Annihilation.”
The six arms suddenly closed together before the Chaos Demon God, unleashing an unparalleled impact straight at Xia Lun.
There was no way to dodge!
Xia Lun felt his entire body freeze in place. The surrounding space seemed to have solidified, leaving him able only to watch as everything before him was gradually consumed by crimson…
“The one who deserves to be ended is you.”
Aina’s cold voice rang out beside Xia Lun.
A tiny white flame, seemingly insignificant, had appeared at some point and attached itself to the Chaos Demon God’s attack.
Then, the crimson filling the space before Xia Lun instantly transformed into pure, sacred white.
That flame was actually using the Chaos Demon God’s own power as fuel, growing stronger without end!
Like a calamity, it began to spread. Roaring white flames erupted across the Chaos Demon God’s body, enveloping him in a sphere of fire.
“Bloodflame.”
With a wave of Aina’s crimson staff, the flames instantly transformed into blood-red fire.
Whoosh!
The entire sea of blood beneath their feet began to burn as well, as though it were not blood at all, but fuel feeding the flames.
Xia Lun stared nervously at the figure swallowed by the fire, hoping that he would be burned to ashes.
Unfortunately, his hopes were dashed.
At a certain moment, the flames around the Chaos Demon God abruptly went out. Were it not for the wisps of smoke still rising from his body, one might have thought that nothing had happened at all.
Aina’s expression visibly darkened. She had not expected even this move to have no effect.
“What a terrifying technique…” The Chaos Demon God calmly looked toward Aina. “It seems I should deal with you first…”
