Silver Wolf Demon Emperor's palm descended as though it were breaking space itself, crushing the stars within his grasp. His strike carried ruthless intent. A vast silver handprint fell from the heavens, its weight so immense that the shock resounded in the ears of all who watched. Blood Sword Heavenly Lord and the Demon-Masked Lord exchanged a glance. Though Ling Feng had not perished by their hands, this was the ending they had long hoped for. Ling Feng's rise had been too swift. Even under their sinister secret arts, he had spoiled their plans time and again. More than once, he had nearly slain them outright. Fresh chapters posted on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝓷𝓮𝓽 If Silver Wolf Demon Emperor ended him here, one deadly enemy would be erased. Within the crowd, Red Dragon Envoy laughed with savage delight. Back at the first selection trials, he had already set his heart on killing Ling Feng. Now at last, the boy was about to die. Purple Dragon Envoy, Bai Su, only sighed. She looked at her daughter, and her heart tightened. This youth was fated to be no more than a fleeting figure in her daughter's life. Perhaps death was kinder. He would be mourned for a time, but her daughter would not be shackled forever by longing and despair. Mu Qianxue clenched her fists so tightly her arms shook. Tears filled her eyes. Against powers of this level, she had no right even to draw near. She could not fulfill the promise she once made. "Because I want to protect you, just as you once protected me!" The oath now sounded unbearably fragile. In the face of absolute might, it shattered like glass. Silver Wolf Demon Emperor's colossal claw struck downward. Ling Feng slowly closed his eyes. More precisely, he closed three! The shadow of death drew close! "Chaotic Rebirth… burn!" All three eyes flew open. A surge of power erupted like a storm. Just when all believed Ling Feng would be crushed into dust, blood-red flames flared from his body. The fire rose into the sky with the strength to scorch heaven itself. It forced Silver Wolf Demon Emperor's hand back. A roar like a beast shook the nine heavens. The blood flames raged, and Ling Feng looked like a fiendish creature crawling out of hell. His hundred zhang tall body was covered in blood flames. The power of Chaotic Rebirth, fused with the might of the Despicable Donkey, the Supreme Lotus Seed, and the Essence Blood Pearl, all ignited together. This was his final reserve, his last frenzy! "How… how can this be?" Silver Wolf Demon Emperor's eyelids twitched. He felt it clearly. The aura of a demon emperor coming from Ling Feng! And that aura carried true danger. What secret art could let a mere Spiritual Element Realm ant release power that even a peak demon emperor could not ignore? Impossible! It should have been impossible! The crowd gaped in silence. That human youth had actually repelled Silver Wolf Demon Emperor's strike! "Is this strength bought by burning his life force?" Silver Wolf Demon Emperor steadied himself and roared again. Demonic essence surged without end. "This emperor will see how much life you can burn away!" He struck once more. The Starwheel shuddered as a colossal wolf claw tore space apart and fell upon Ling Feng. Inside Ling Feng's body, power ran wild. Blood, flesh, and even soul boiled in chaos, driven by a force beyond his imagination. Ling Feng roared. Blood-light burst from his eyes like two crimson springs ready to flood the earth. The vertical eye upon his brow shone with eerie brilliance. The Asura divine inscriptions gathered there. Fueled by Bloodthirsty Frenzy, he would not stop until his enemy lay dead before him. The giant ape and the giant wolf collided head-on. The giant wolf, Silver Wolf Demon Emperor, was knocked back. Ling Feng's flesh split open in countless places, torrents of blood streaming from his hundred-zhang frame until the ground below ran scarlet. Ling Feng's mind sank into madness. Power poured from him, violent and unstoppable. Once Chaotic Rebirth awakened, even his will turned bloodthirsty. Slaughter alone remained. Everything before him must be destroyed. For the first time, Silver Wolf Demon Emperor's expression grew grim. Ling Feng's strength now rivaled that of a peak demon emperor. He cursed bitterly. When his power had been suppressed earlier, Ling Feng had already wounded him badly. Though he had since unsealed his full strength, the wounds had never truly healed. They had only been pressed down. Now, blasted back by Ling Feng's strike, his condition worsened sharply. For the first time, he realized that if this fight continued, it might be him who fell. "Your Majesty Demon Ruler!" Silver Wolf Demon Emperor turned toward the Canglong Demon Ruler seated on the throne. Grinding his teeth, he pleaded, "This subordinate is gravely wounded. I can no longer…" For a peak demon emperor to confess he could not handle a Spiritual Element Realm youth was humiliation without measure. Yet compared to life itself, pride was worthless. He could only beg. Canglong Demon Ruler sat unmoving. Around him the battlefield lay in ruins, yet his throne remained untouched. Even the strength of a peak demon emperor could not shake a demon ruler. "I had not expected this boy to prove even more troublesome than imagined." Canglong Demon Ruler tapped the armrest lightly and gave his order. "Eight Canglong Envoys. Join the fight!" Gasps rang out. A peak demon emperor already fought, and now eight more were summoned. Such a force might even trap a demon ruler. Was this truly what it took to bring down a youth of the Spiritual Element Realm? Red Dragon Envoy bared his teeth in a cruel grin. Without hesitation, he charged. His body transformed into a flaming bear and thundered across the battlefield, joining the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor against Ling Feng. Three giant beasts of a hundred zhang clashed in the square, making even that vast space feel cramped. One after another, the Cyan Dragon Envoy, the Blue Dragon Envoy, the Yellow Dragon Envoy, and others leapt into the fray. Only the Black Dragon Envoy and the Purple Dragon Envoy remained still. Black Dragon Envoy sighed. He had admired Ling Feng, yet under the Demon Ruler's command, he dared not stand aside. He entered the battlefield as well, though he kept back his full power, restraining Ling Feng only at the edges. Purple Dragon Envoy first ordered her disciples to retreat five hundred zhang farther. She clenched her fists, ready to fight, but her daughter Bai Linger clung to her desperately. "No, Mother… please, do not!" Bai Linger wept. Her tears fell like rain as she begged. "Silly child, forget him." Bai Su pried her daughter's hands away. She looked once at Mu Qianxue, then flew into the battle. In that instant, all eight Canglong Envoys entered, together with the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor. Nine peak demon emperors combined their strength to fight Ling Feng. A battle of such scale had not been seen in a thousand years. Of course, most of the envoys held back out of pride, testing Ling Feng instead of striking to kill. Only Red Dragon Envoy and Silver Wolf Demon Emperor attacked with true murderous intent. Even if Ling Feng were to die here today, the very fact that he could face such a formation would be enough for him to hold his head high.
