"Let me show you what true despair feels like!"

Shu Feng smiled faintly. A massive demonic phantom, bearing a striking resemblance to him, materialized at his back. Etched with countless esoteric Demon Patterns, it loomed like a supreme Dominator, gazing down coldly at Liu Xiong.

Shu Feng executed the Prison Void Demon Step, appearing before Liu Xiong in an instant and throwing a punch. The arm of the massive demonic phantom behind him fused directly with his right fist.

BOOM!!

A terrifying, earth-shattering explosion rang out. The large saber in Liu Xiong’s hands was bent from the sheer force of the blow. He spat out an arrow of blood, flying back dozens of meters like a broken doll.

A strange glint flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes as he said with admiration, "Still alive? You’re truly worthy of being one of the three Grand Commanders of the Great Zhou Royal Family’s Imperial Army!"

An ordinary Martial Saint would have been blown to pieces by that punch. Only a veteran Martial Saint like Liu Xiong could have possibly withstood a single blow from Shu Feng.

A strange glint flashed in Yuan Xian’Er’s beautiful eyes, and she felt a flush of heat. ’So strong! He can destroy the Great Zhou Royal Family’s Imperial Army all by himself! He’s just too powerful. A man like that is a true Hero!’

Hua Shilei’s beautiful eyes sparkled, and her heart fluttered. ’Han Feng... what a man! It’s a shame I was a step too slow! Such a pity!’

An unusual glint also flashed through Xu Yunfei’s beautiful eyes. ’One against ten thousand, a single man breaking an entire army! He’s another Wei Tuxian! And he’s so young... He has such a powerful, masculine aura!’

In the Black Tortoise Realm, the strong are revered. The Great Song Empire was slightly better in this regard. In the Bei Mo Royal Court and the Great Zhou Demon Country, however, the law of the jungle reigned supreme—might makes right.

An overwhelmingly powerful expert like Shu Feng, capable of breaking an army single-handedly, was the ideal partner for the True Disciples of sects like the Bi Yao Demon Sect.

"Ten Thousand Profound Demon Ancestor. I never thought you’d side with the Great Zhou Royal Family."

After severely wounding Liu Xiong with a single punch, Shu Feng didn’t press his advantage. Instead, he looked into the distance and spoke slowly.

In the distance stood a tall, black-haired old man dressed in black. Though his forehead was lined with wrinkles, he exuded a monstrous demonic intent.

This terrifyingly powerful old man was none other than the fourth-ranked expert in the world: the Ten Thousand Profound Demon Ancestor!

"When I was young, I received a great kindness from the Great Zhou Royal Family. I have come today not only to repay that debt but also to witness the power of the Ten Thousand Demon Gu King for myself."

"Back when the Gu Emperor roamed the world unchallenged, I was merely a Half-Step Martial Saint. The gap in our strength was as wide as a heavenly chasm. I admit I was no match for the Gu Emperor in those days."

"Now, I stand at the very pinnacle of the Demon Dao. In all the world, aside from that monster, Wei Tuxian, I doubt even the second-ranked Blazing Sun Sword Saint from the Bei Mo Royal Court or the third-ranked Zen Master Wuxin from the Asura Temple could defeat me."

"It is excellent that you have cultivated the Ten Thousand Demon Gu King! I’ve been eager to witness its power for myself!!"

"All of you, stand down! Do not interfere in my duel with Han Feng!"

The Ten Thousand Profound Demon Ancestor stared intently at Shu Feng, a fervent glint in his eyes. He, too, was a Martial Fool, single-mindedly pursuing the pinnacle of the Martial Dao. He had cultivated his Demon Techniques to an inconceivably terrifying degree.

In this world, though the Great Song Empire ranked the Ten Thousand Profound Demon Ancestor fourth, he utterly dismissed those ranked second and third. Only Wei Tuxian, the number one expert in the world, did he acknowledge as his superior, willingly admitting his own inferiority.

"Yes!"

As if granted a pardon, Liu Xiong and Zhou Han quickly led the Imperial Army Warriors in retreat.

Atop a tower, the Emperor of the Great Zhou Demon Country stood with his hands clasped behind his back, gazing down at the distant Ten Thousand Profound Demon Ancestor and Shu Feng. An incredibly complex look flickered in his eyes as he slowly asked, "Mo Yin, if the Ten Thousand Profound Demon Ancestor is defeated, who in our Great Zhou Demon Country can possibly stop Han Feng?"

Mo Yin bowed his head slightly and said with the utmost respect, "I swear to protect Your Majesty with my life!"

A flash of regret appeared in the eyes of the Great Zhou Demon Country’s Emperor as he said slowly, "The Ten Thousand Demon Gu King... If only I had never provoked him!"

Mo Yin replied respectfully, "A sharp weapon in hand gives rise to a murderous heart. Your Majesty, this man Han Feng is wildly ambitious and completely different from the former Gu Emperor. Even if Your Majesty had not provoked him, he would have eventually coveted the resources of our Great Zhou Demon Country to advance his power. You did nothing wrong, Your Majesty. It is simply that Han Feng is too powerful."

Although the Emperor of the Great Zhou Demon Country did not possess the grand vision or world-shaking cultivation of the founding ancestor, he was still considered an enlightened ruler for his generation. He had simply run afoul of a monster like Shu Feng, which led to his current, precarious predicament.

The Emperor of the Great Zhou Demon Country sighed softly, his gaze falling upon Shu Feng and the Ten Thousand Profound Demon Ancestor.

"Han Feng, I hope you won’t disappoint me!"

With a faint smile, the Ten Thousand Profound Demon Ancestor executed the Profound Demon Step Technique, one of the four great Divine Techniques of the Ten Thousand Profound Demon Sect. He took a single step, using Shrinking Inches to appear instantly before Shu Feng, and thrust a Great Power Demon King Seal directly at him.

The lifelike phantom of a bull-headed Strong Demon King materialized, clad in black battle armor and covered in a web of terrifying Demon Patterns. Its fist carried an aura of utter annihilation as it viciously punched toward Shu Feng.

The Great Power Demon King Seal in the hands of the Ten Thousand Profound Demon Ancestor was like a completely different Martial Technique compared to when the Xuan Mo Saint Child used it. When unleashed, the seal seemed to carry a trace of the True Intent of the Demon Path, bearing down on Shu Feng with the force to suppress all things.

’So strong. This is the power of the world’s fourth-ranked expert! Truly extraordinary!’

Facing the Ten Thousand Profound Demon Ancestor, Shu Feng finally felt a sliver of pressure. This was the first time he had felt pressured since creating the Ten Thousand Demon Gu King.

Shu Feng activated his Undying Demon Body. A terrifying, massive demonic phantom appeared as the Ten Thousand Demon Gu King within him activated its Physical Enhancement Superpower, augmenting his physique. He threw a punch that generated a terrifying sonic boom as it shot toward the Ten Thousand Profound Demon Ancestor.

BOOM!

With a terrifyingly loud explosion, Shu Feng was blasted back more than a dozen meters. His right fist trembled, and blood dripped steadily from his knuckles.

"Your physique is very strong. A pity your Martial Techniques are too crude and your combat experience is sorely lacking. If this is all you’ve got, then you can die!"

A flicker of disappointment crossed the Ten Thousand Profound Demon Ancestor’s eyes. Forming the Great Power Demon King Seal, he seemed to transform into a Strong Demon King himself as he ruthlessly pressed his attack on Shu Feng.

A cold glint flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes. With a point of his finger, several hundred Tier Six Flame Gu shot out like terrifying missiles, hurtling toward the Ten Thousand Profound Demon Ancestor.

"Cloud Demon Hand!"

The Ten Thousand Profound Demon Ancestor smiled faintly and switched to another Divine Technique. His hands intertwined and his Profound Qi surged. Bursts of Demon Cloud appeared, transforming into terrifying Profound Qi Vortexes that immediately swept up the hundreds of Tier Six Flame Gu.

The terrifying Profound Qi Vortexes acted like a giant millstone, grinding the hundreds of Tier Six Flame Gu and crushing them to pieces.
