[Azure Flood Dragon King and the others unconsciously retreated a considerable distance.]
[The old girl Duobao was gone, taking with her the spiritual treasures she had just lent to Azure Flood Dragon King and the others.]
[With top-grade spiritual treasures in hand, a group of Earthly Realm cultivators had dared to exchange blows with a Heaven-Reaching Realm expert.]
[Without those powerful treasures, they had to think twice about relying solely on their own foundations and cultivation.]
[But divine abilities were mysterious powers. Used properly, they could make killing an enemy across realms entirely possible.]
[That was why a Heaven-Reaching Realm expert could not afford to underestimate an Earthly Realm opponent.]
[Facing the top powerhouse who held sway over Firelight Star, your expression remained calm and carefree. You even looked faintly amused.]
“You’re from the Dragonkin, aren’t you?”
[Demon Calamity True Lord let out a mocking laugh. He raised an arm covered in black scales and shook the leathery wings on his back.]
“Isn’t it obvious?”
“Obvious? It’s painfully obvious…”
[Hold it in. Don’t laugh!]
“Cut the crap and answer my question!”
[Demon Calamity True Lord slapped you from a distance. The air pressure around you suddenly surged, and a gale as massive as a mountain came roaring at you, sending you flying like a feather.]
[The Female Heavenly Emperor’s red bellyband deflected part of the force, but the gale came from every direction, so you were still blown away.]
[You had no idea how many trees you broke or how many mountains you crashed through.]
[All you could feel was wave after wave of excruciating pain. Wolverine’s regenerative ability kept healing your wounds, only for the impacts to tear them open again.]
[It was agonizing.]
[A black shadow flashed before your eyes, moving incredibly fast.]
[It was not Demon Calamity True Lord himself, but a shadow he had released—one that resembled his own form.]
[The shadow had substance. Dodging the red bellyband, it seized you by the back of the neck and slammed you against the ground, grinding you across the earth all the way back from the distant battlefield to the vicinity of Profound Maiden Town.]
[You struggled against it the entire time, but numerous forces you could not understand suppressed and restrained you.]
[You guessed that these were probably divine abilities.]
[Demon Calamity True Lord completely overwhelmed you with his strength.]
[If he had wanted you dead, your simulation would already have ended.]
[But he wanted to know why you could attract the Female Heavenly Emperor’s relics, so he had merely been giving you a warning.]
[Seeing you stand up again, your wounds healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, Demon Calamity True Lord showed a hint of surprise.]
“Your injuries are healing awfully fast. You must possess some kind of special constitution.”
[You could clearly see the killing intent in Demon Calamity True Lord’s eyes.]
[Before, he had regarded you as nothing more than an insignificant ant. Now, it was obvious that he was calculating how he could kill you.]
[Seeing how brutally Demon Calamity True Lord had toyed with you, Azure Flood Dragon King and the other Earthly Realm cultivators had already begun considering retreat.]
“Demon Calamity True Lord isn’t even after the Profound Fire Mirror anymore. He’s willing to fight for that human brat’s jade slip…”
“Sure enough, the jade slip is the most valuable treasure!”
“What a pity we failed to get our hands on it earlier. What a tremendous opportunity we missed!”
[You continued to answer the wrong question. Facing Demon Calamity True Lord, who was far stronger than you, your eyes actually held a trace of disdain.]
“Dragonkin, you’re a defeated opponent! I advise you to hand over all the treasures on you and call me Grandpa three times. I might consider sparing your life!”
[Your words left everyone watching utterly dumbfounded.]
[They looked at you as if you were an idiot.]
[Demon Calamity True Lord showed no emotional reaction whatsoever. He merely snorted.]
“In that case, I can only kill you, then spend a little effort preserving your soul before finding someone from the Netherworld to extract your memories…”
[He had mentioned the Netherworld.]
[You remembered that the Netherworld was supposed to be part of the Void Realm, responsible for managing the souls of every living being within it.]
[Apparently, that was not the case.]
[Demon Calamity True Lord attacked again.]
[With a furious roar, the black flames swirling around him once more condensed into a gigantic shadow—an enlarged version of his own body.]
[Demon Calamity True Lord threw a punch. The impact carried the massive shadow with it as it came hurtling toward you with murderous force.]
[The shadow had yet to arrive, but the force of the punch already made it impossible for you to stand steadily.]
[The soil and shattered stones beneath your feet trembled. As the attack drew closer, they gradually lifted into the air and shot skyward at high speed.]
[You neither dodged nor retreated. Stomping down with both feet, you drove half your legs into the ground and planted yourself firmly in place.]
[You removed the red bellyband and began spinning it in your hand, making it serve as a shield before you. You hid your entire body behind it.]
[Your current stance looked just like Captain America holding up his shield.]
[Demon Calamity True Lord’s attack was completely reflected by the red bellyband.]
[That was how absurdly unreasonable the Female Heavenly Emperor’s relic was.]
[But your opponent was still stronger.]
[You reflected the shadow he had released, but his true body circled around the red bellyband from above and pounced straight at your back.]
“Human ant! Die!”
[Demon Calamity True Lord’s massive claw reached down toward the back of your head.]
[That blow was powerful enough to crush your skull!]
[Azure Flood Dragon King, Know-It-All, and the others watching were preparing to leave.]
[They knew the outcome had already been decided—or rather, that the outcome had never been in doubt from the beginning.]
[How could someone in the Core Formation Realm possibly defeat an opponent in the Heaven-Reaching Realm?]
[The Female Heavenly Emperor’s jade slip was destined to fall into the hands of the Heavenly Calamity Sect.]
[Some people were already speculating that, with the Female Heavenly Emperor’s inheritance, the Heavenly Calamity Sect would advance even further and become the sole ruling power on Firelight Star—or perhaps even a colossal force spanning multiple worlds.]
[Yet what happened next shocked everyone present!]
[Faced with Demon Calamity True Lord’s swift and vicious attack, accompanied by numerous divine abilities that restrained your body…]
[At this unavoidable dead end, your right hand actually rose.]
[For that brief instant, Demon Calamity True Lord showed a trace of surprise.]
[He was cautious by nature. Even though you were two entire major realms below him and could not use divine abilities, he had still used divine abilities to suppress your body and render you immobile.]
[How had you managed to raise that hand?]
[However, Demon Calamity True Lord did not stop his attack.]
“So what if you can raise one hand?”
[It was nothing more than a dying struggle.]
[That was what he thought—until, when he drew near, that hand effortlessly severed his arm, then plunged straight through his chest and emerged from his back!]
“Thump! Thump! Thump!”
[It was a heart drenched in fresh blood.]
[Even after your right hand tore it from Demon Calamity True Lord’s chest, it continued beating powerfully, pumping the blood remaining inside it through the vessels.]
[The entire area fell silent.]
[Whether they were the cultivators watching or those still fighting over the treasures, every one of them was speechless.]
[They stared at Demon Calamity True Lord’s heart throbbing in your hand, utterly unable to speak.]
[But the most terrifying part had yet to come.]
[Demon Calamity True Lord’s body crashed to the ground, but he had not died.]
“This… How is this possible…”
[Demon Calamity True Lord flew into a rage, his eyes erupting with red flashes. He was on the verge of entering the second phase.]
[“Crack…”]
[Your two hands pried open the top of Demon Calamity True Lord’s skull like lifting the lid off a jar, then stirred around inside.]
