In mid-air, Shui Miao stood atop the Hong Yu Chessboard, looking down upon the horde of demons. He unleashed the full power of all the sacred artifacts and the might of the thirty-eight immortal emperor-level spirit weapons, instantly halting the advance of all the celestial and demonic soldiers. The weaker ones at the forefront were directly annihilated by the overwhelming pressure, their souls scattered and utterly destroyed.
They had come to the celestial realm expecting a massacre.
Instead, they were the ones who were mercilessly slaughtered.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God, being the strongest, bore the brunt of the pressure.
The giant blood python, which had been thrashing wildly, immediately raised its head high upon seeing Shui Miao, its massive crimson vertical pupils fixed intently on him, adopting a highly alert posture, ready to strike at any moment.
“Are you the Nine-Eyed Demon God?”
Shui Miao narrowed his eyes, coldly gazing at the monstrous giant before him. Even the Nine-Eyed Demon God was struggling under the immense pressure of Shui Miao’s power.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s voice boomed like a great bell, its sheer volume alone killing many of the weaker celestial and demonic soldiers. It was no joke—someone who could harness the power of thirty-eight immortal emperor-level spirit weapons was far beyond the concept of a mere human; he was akin to a supreme sacred artifact, a force of unimaginable terror. Naturally, the weaker demon soldiers couldn’t withstand it.
“Boy, who exactly are you? Do you think you can stop us with just two treasures?”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God, who also harbored over a dozen demon emperors within him, roared furiously. Suddenly, he slammed his massive hammers together, creating a flash of fire. The terrifying shockwave instantly injured a large number of celestial soldiers.
“Whoosh!”
The giant blood python seized the opportunity, suddenly opening its gaping maw and lunging at Shui Miao…
“Bang!”
Before it could bite Shui Miao, the python was repelled by an invisible defensive shield, sustaining some injuries in the process.
“Want to fight? Easy!”
With a thought from Shui Miao, the entire Hong Yu Chessboard activated. Thirty-six attack methods, led by the Purple Fate Energy, were unleashed simultaneously. The sky was instantly filled with a dazzling array of colorful lights. Hordes of demon soldiers were annihilated on the spot, while the celestial soldiers bathed in the radiant light, their cultivation greatly enhanced. Those who had been injured by the shockwave were fully healed, and many who were at a bottleneck in their cultivation broke through to new levels.
This was absolute annihilation.
Tens of thousands of demon soldiers were wiped out. The giant blood python was severely injured in the powerful assault. It tried to flee, but it was immobilized, its magic boiling uncontrollably within its body. To make matters worse, the Nightmare Heart Technique was tormenting its mind, causing it to slowly succumb to its demise in a dazed state.
For the giant blood python, if its master couldn’t save it, death was inevitable.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God wasn’t faring much better, its situation similar to that of the python.
The Void Destruction Array was repeatedly activated, shattering the protective shields and some of the treasures on both the Nine-Eyed Demon God and the giant blood python.
“Thud!”
The python’s once-proudly raised head finally crashed heavily to the ground. After a few convulsions, its soul scattered, and it became a lifeless corpse.
Within the Hong Yu Chessboard, half of the arrays were designed for killing.
Each killing array, when activated, was incredibly potent.
But for the superpowers of the demon realm, the most formidable was the Purple Fate Energy. The blood python had already been injured by it before, and now, with its wounds aggravated, it was naturally unable to withstand the assault, leading to its inevitable death.
“Boy, who exactly are you? Are you… are you the disciple of Xuan Kong’er?”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God’s massive body trembled under the radiant light. He was constantly channeling demonic energy to resist the attacks, while the demon emperors within him were desperately supplying him with power to counter Shui Miao.
“Haha, guess!”
Shui Miao suddenly laughed and summoned a newly forged sacred demon artifact, directly unleashing it upon the Nine-Eyed Demon God.
“A sacred demon artifact!!”
“How is this possible? How could you possibly forge a sacred demon artifact? Are you really Xuan Kong’er’s disciple?”
Feeling the suppression of the sacred demon artifact, the Nine-Eyed Demon God panicked.
This was no ordinary sacred demon artifact. It was forged by Shui Miao based on the Skeleton Demon Emperor’s treasure, and within it, Shui Miao had embedded a Death Withering Array. To forge this artifact, Shui Miao had expended all the toxic mist and blood rain he had collected. But now, the artifact was complete and ready to be put to good use.
“Boom!”
Shui Miao had no intention of engaging with the Nine-Eyed Demon God. With another fierce attack from the Hong Yu Chessboard, the demon emperors within the Nine-Eyed Demon God couldn’t withstand the assault, all spitting blood and sustaining severe injuries.
With over a dozen demon emperors within him injured, the Nine-Eyed Demon God himself was also overwhelmed, his body trembling violently.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God seemed to be waiting for Shui Miao’s response.
But Shui Miao had no intention of responding; his only thought was to utterly annihilate the demon god.
“Hum!”
The Void Destruction Array was activated once more. After several attacks, the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s hammers were finally rendered useless due to the array’s damage.
However, the Nine-Eyed Demon God suddenly sneered, “Boy, is that all you’ve got? If you’re Xuan Kong’er’s disciple, you should know what treasure I possess. To kill me, you’ll have to destroy this treasure of mine. Otherwise, you’ll never be able to kill me, not even in your next life. Once your crystals are depleted, it will be my turn to counterattack and destroy you.”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God wasn’t boasting without reason. He indeed possessed an extraordinary treasure.
This treasure was the second most powerful artifact in the demon realm, known as the Void Escape Mirror. As the name suggests, it was a demonic mirror that allowed him to instantly flee.
He was willing to endure severe injuries just to verify whether Shui Miao was truly Xuan Kong’er’s disciple.
This information might seem trivial, but in reality, it was intricately linked to the fate of the demon realm.
Originally, the demon realm was suppressed by the celestial court, constantly constrained. It wasn’t until the emergence of Xuan Kong’er that the demon realm rose to power and successfully gained control over the celestial court. However, Xuan Kong’er suddenly disappeared, and the remaining powerful figures of the celestial court went into hiding. The demon realm lost its ability to continue its conquest of the celestial court.
But now, the Nine-Eyed Demon God had discovered Shui Miao and directly suspected that he was Xuan Kong’er’s disciple.
Xuan Kong’er had vanished without a trace, and despite searching the entire demon realm, no one could find him. The possibility that he had infiltrated the three realms of ghosts and gods was highly plausible.
Therefore, the Nine-Eyed Demon God had to verify Shui Miao’s identity.
If Shui Miao was indeed Xuan Kong’er’s disciple, the demon realm would spare no effort to annihilate him, even if it meant destroying the three realms and turning the world upside down.
“Haha…”
Shui Miao suddenly laughed, “In that case, let’s wait until I’ve exhausted all my crystals.”
It was time to employ other killing moves!
Shui Miao appeared indifferent on the surface, but he was immediately on guard internally.
From the memories of the Skeleton Demon Emperor, Shui Miao had learned much. Xuan Kong’er was a genius of the ages. Although he had disappeared, he had left three super artifacts for the demon realm: the Substitute Mirror, the Void Escape Mirror, and the Ten Thousand Evils Gu. These three super artifacts were mysterious and unpredictable, making them nearly impossible to defend against.
What Shui Miao feared and dreaded the most was naturally the top-ranked Ten Thousand Evils Gu.
As for the Nine-Eyed Demon God before him, Shui Miao was certain he possessed the Void Escape Mirror. The most powerful Ten Thousand Evils Gu was likely in the hands of the Demon Emperor Wu Yezi.
Shui Miao spoke casually, but his actions were swift and decisive.
The Hong Yu Chessboard continued to be fiercely activated, repeatedly injuring the Nine-Eyed Demon God.
Secretly, Shui Miao also intensified the Nightmare Heart Technique, confusing and disorienting the Nine-Eyed Demon God, making him sluggish and slow to react.
“Fine! If you want to settle this with strength, then I’ll play with you today!”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God suddenly shook his body, consuming a large number of demon realm’s sacred-level pills. The over a dozen demon emperors within him instantly recovered, and their power doubled. He himself was also healed, his magic restored, and his demonic power increased by a full fold! Immediately after, a vast amount of toxic mist and yin evil energy erupted from the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s body, like a dark cloud suddenly appearing in a clear sky, growing larger and larger.
The radiant light from the Hong Yu Chessboard was struggling to suppress it!
“Roar!”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God suddenly let out an extremely terrifying roar. He released tens of thousands of elite demon soldiers and numerous monsters from his spatial realm. He swung his arms, hurling the destroyed hammers at the defensive array and the main hall of the celestial commander’s camp. Two loud explosions followed, and the defensive array was shattered, while the main hall of the commander’s camp was reduced to rubble.
The war drums fell silent, and the celestial soldiers under the commander’s command were thrown into chaos.
Immediately after, the Nine-Eyed Demon God summoned a pitch-black pagoda from his spatial realm, chanting incantations. The pagoda grew larger and larger, threatening to engulf Shui Miao.
“Nine-Eyed Demon God, you’ve got me today, but I, Shui Miao, will return to settle the score with you!” Shui Miao suddenly vanished, abandoning the Hong Yu Chessboard and fleeing at top speed.
Seeing this, the celestial commander was stunned, “What just happened? How could he just run away like that?”
“Shui Miao, wait for me!”
Shui Tianyi, seeing Shui Miao flee, immediately gave chase.
“Huh?”
“What’s going on with this kid? Did he run out of crystals? He even abandoned the Hong Yu Chessboard, which is composed of supreme sacred artifacts!”
“This kid definitely isn’t Xuan Kong’er’s disciple. Xuan Kong’er would never flee, and he certainly wouldn’t have a disciple who runs away!”
Seeing Shui Miao abandon the Hong Yu Chessboard, the Nine-Eyed Demon God was shaken. He quickly seized the chessboard, attempting to subdue the spirits of the many sacred artifacts within it and claim them for himself. But then he discovered that the Hong Yu Chessboard was empty—it was just a chessboard. All the sacred artifacts had been taken by Shui Miao!
“Brat, so this is all you’ve got! Haha…”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God immediately concluded that Shui Miao was at his wit’s end. Without bothering to refine the chessboard, he quickly moved it into his spatial realm and pursued Shui Miao relentlessly.
“Boom!”
Within three to five breaths, the supreme sacred artifact chessboard within the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s spatial realm suddenly self-destructed!
“Haha, he fell for it!”
Shui Miao’s heart stirred, and he immediately stopped fleeing, turning back to look at the Nine-Eyed Demon God, who had crashed to the ground. This time, he was doomed!
They had come to the Immortal Realm expecting a grand massacre.
But instead, they were the ones being ruthlessly annihilated.
Among them, the Nine-Eyed Demon God suffered the most intense pressure, being the strongest.
The giant blood python, previously thrashing wildly, suddenly raised its head high upon seeing Shui Miao, its enormous crimson pupils locking onto him with extreme alertness, assuming a posture ready to strike at any moment.
“Are you the Nine-Eyed Demon God?” Shui Miao narrowed his eyes coldly at the monstrous giant before him. Under the immense pressure from Shui Miao’s side, even the Nine-Eyed Demon God was visibly struggling.
In mid-air, Shui Miao stood atop the Hongyu Chessboard, looking down upon the horde of demons with disdain. He fully activated the power of all the sacred artifacts and the might of the thirty-eight immortal emperor-level spirit weapons, instantly halting the advance of all the celestial and demonic soldiers. The weaker ones at the forefront were directly annihilated by the overwhelming pressure, their souls dispersed in an instant.
They had come to the celestial realm expecting a massacre.
Instead, they found themselves being utterly annihilated.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God, being the strongest, bore the brunt of the pressure.
The once ferocious giant blood serpent, upon seeing Shui Miao again, immediately raised its head high in alertness. Its massive crimson vertical pupils locked onto Shui Miao, adopting a highly vigilant stance, ready to attack at any moment.
“Are you the Nine-Eyed Demon God?” Shui Miao narrowed his eyes, coldly staring at the monstrous giant before him. Under the immense pressure from Shui Miao’s side, even the Nine-Eyed Demon God was struggling to hold on.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s voice boomed like a giant bell, its sheer volume alone killing many of the weaker celestial and demonic soldiers. It was no joke; someone who could harness the power of thirty-eight immortal emperor-level spirit weapons had far surpassed the concept of a mere human, embodying the essence of a supreme sacred artifact. Such terrifying power was naturally unbearable for the weaker demon soldiers.
“Kid, who exactly are you? Do you think you can stop us with just two treasures?” The Nine-Eyed Demon God, who also harbored over a dozen demon emperors within him, roared repeatedly. Suddenly, he swung his massive hammers together, creating a flash of fire. The terrifying shockwave instantly injured a large number of celestial soldiers.
“Whoosh!”
The giant blood serpent seized the opportunity, suddenly opening its gaping maw to bite fiercely at Shui Miao…
“Bang!”
Before the serpent could reach Shui Miao, it was repelled by an invisible defensive shield, sustaining some injuries in the process.
“Want to fight? Easy!”
With a thought from Shui Miao, the entire Hongyu Chessboard activated. Thirty-six attack methods, led by the purple aura, were unleashed simultaneously. The sky was instantly filled with a kaleidoscope of radiant light, annihilating vast numbers of demon soldiers. Meanwhile, the celestial soldiers bathed in the light, their cultivation greatly enhanced. Those who had been injured were fully healed, and those at a bottleneck in their cultivation broke through to new levels.
This was an absolute massacre.
Hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers were annihilated. The giant blood serpent was severely injured in the powerful attack. It tried to flee but found itself immobilized, its boiling mana uncontrollable. To make matters worse, the Nightmare Heart Technique continued to plague its mind, slowly leading to its demise in a dazed state.
For the giant blood serpent, if its master could not save it, death was inevitable.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God was also suffering, his situation similar to that of the giant blood serpent.
The Void Annihilation Array was repeatedly activated, destroying the shields and some of the treasures on the Nine-Eyed Demon God and the giant blood serpent.
“Thud!”
The giant blood serpent’s once proudly raised head finally crashed heavily to the ground. After a few convulsions, its soul dispersed, leaving behind a lifeless serpent.
Half of the arrays within the Hongyu Chessboard were killing arrays.
Each killing array, when activated, was incredibly powerful.
But for the superpowers of the demon realm, the most formidable was the purple aura. The blood serpent, already injured by the purple aura, found its wounds exacerbated, making death inevitable.
“Kid, who exactly are you? Are you the disciple of Xuan Kong’er?” The Nine-Eyed Demon God’s massive body trembled under the radiant light. He continuously channeled demonic energy to resist the light’s attack, while the demon emperors within him desperately supplied mana to help him withstand Shui Miao.
“Haha, guess!” Shui Miao suddenly laughed, then summoned a newly forged sacred demon artifact, directly unleashing it upon the Nine-Eyed Demon God.
“A sacred demon artifact!!”
“How is this possible? How could you forge a sacred demon artifact? Are you really the disciple of Xuan Kong’er?”
Feeling the suppression of the sacred demon artifact, the Nine-Eyed Demon God panicked.
This was no ordinary sacred demon artifact. It was forged by Shui Miao based on the treasures of the Skeleton Demon Emperor, imbued with a death and decay array. To forge this artifact, Shui Miao had expended all the collected toxic mist and blood rain. But now, the artifact was complete and ready for use.
“Boom!”
Shui Miao had no intention of engaging with the Nine-Eyed Demon God. Under another fierce attack from the Hongyu Chessboard, the demon emperors within the Nine-Eyed Demon God could no longer endure, all vomiting blood and sustaining severe injuries.
With over a dozen demon emperors injured within him, the Nine-Eyed Demon God also struggled, his body trembling violently.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God seemed to be waiting for Shui Miao’s response.
But Shui Miao had no intention of responding, only aiming for complete annihilation.
“Hum!”
The Void Annihilation Array was activated again. After several attacks, the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s hammers were finally rendered useless by the array’s damage.
However, the Nine-Eyed Demon God suddenly sneered, “Kid, is this all you’ve got? If you’re Xuan Kong’er’s disciple, you should know what treasure I possess. To kill me, you must first destroy this treasure. Otherwise, you’ll never be able to kill me, not even in your next life. Once your crystals are depleted, it will be my turn to counterattack and annihilate you.”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God’s boast was not baseless; he indeed possessed an exceptional treasure.
This treasure was the second most powerful artifact in the demon realm, known as the Void Escape Mirror. As the name suggests, it was a demonic mirror that allowed him to escape instantly.
He was willing to endure severe injuries just to verify whether Shui Miao was indeed Xuan Kong’er’s disciple.

Originally, the demon realm was suppressed by the celestial court, constrained at every turn. It wasn’t until the emergence of Xuan Kong’er that the demon realm rose to power, successfully controlling the celestial court.

Secretly, Shui Miao also intensified the Nightmare Heart Technique, further confusing and dulling the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s thoughts, making him sluggish and slow to react.
“Fine! Since you want to settle this with strength, I’ll play with you today!”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God suddenly shook his body, consuming a large number of demonic saint-level pills. The over a dozen demon emperors within him instantly recovered, their power doubling. He himself was also healed, his mana restored, and his demonic power increased by a full fold! Immediately, a vast amount of toxic mist and yin evil energy erupted from the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s body, like a dark cloud suddenly appearing in a clear sky, growing larger and larger.

Immediately, the Nine-Eyed Demon God summoned a pitch-black pagoda from his spatial realm, chanting incantations. The pagoda grew larger and larger, threatening to engulf Shui Miao.
“Nine-Eyed Demon God, today you win, but I, Shui Miao, will return to settle the score!” Shui Miao suddenly vanished, abandoning the Hongyu Chessboard and fleeing at top speed.
Seeing this, the celestial commander was stunned, “What just happened? How could he just run away?”
“Shui Miao, wait for me!”
Shui Tianyi, seeing Shui Miao flee, immediately gave chase.
“Huh?”
“What’s going on with this kid? Did he run out of crystals? How could he abandon the Hongyu Chessboard, composed of supreme sacred artifacts?”

With a thought, Shui Miao stopped his flight and turned back to look at the Nine-Eyed Demon God, who had crashed to the ground. This time, he was doomed!
“Boy, who exactly are you? Do you really think having a couple of treasures can stop us?”
In mid-air, Shui Miao stood atop the Hong Yu Chessboard, looking down upon the horde of demons. He fully activated the power of all the sacred artifacts and the thirty-eight immortal emperor-level spirit weapons, instantly suppressing all the celestial and demonic soldiers, preventing them from advancing even half a step. The weaker soldiers at the forefront were directly overwhelmed by the aura, their souls scattered, leading to their immediate demise.
They had come to the celestial realm expecting a massacre.
Instead, they were the ones being annihilated.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God, being the strongest, bore the brunt of the pressure.

“Kid, who exactly are you? Do you think you can stop us with just two treasures?”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God, who also harbored over a dozen demon emperors within him, roared incessantly. Suddenly, he swung his massive twin hammers together, creating a flash of fire. The terrifying shockwave instantly injured a large number of celestial soldiers.
“Whoosh!”
The giant blood python seized the opportunity, suddenly opening its gaping maw to bite down on Shui Miao…
“Bang!”
Before it could reach Shui Miao, the python was repelled by an invisible shield, sustaining some injuries in the process.
“Want to fight? Easy!”
With a thought from Shui Miao, the entire Hong Yu Chessboard activated. Thirty-six attack methods, led by the Purple Fate Energy, were unleashed simultaneously, filling the sky with a kaleidoscope of radiant light. Large swathes of demon soldiers were instantly annihilated, while the celestial soldiers bathed in the light, their cultivation greatly enhanced. Those who had been injured by the shockwave were fully healed, and some who were at a bottleneck in their cultivation even broke through to higher realms.
This was absolute annihilation.
Tens of thousands of demon soldiers were wiped out, and the giant blood python was severely injured in the powerful attack. It tried to flee, but it couldn’t move, its magic boiling uncontrollably within it. To make matters worse, the Nightmare Heart Technique was still tormenting its mind, causing it to slowly succumb to death in a daze.
For the giant blood python, if its master couldn’t save it, death was inevitable.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God wasn’t faring much better, its situation similar to that of the python.
The Void Annihilation Array was repeatedly activated, destroying the shields and some of the treasures on both the Nine-Eyed Demon God and the giant blood python.

To kill me, you’ll have to break this treasure of mine. Otherwise, you’ll never be able to kill me, not even in your next life. Once your crystals are depleted, it will be my turn to counterattack and kill you.”

Shui Miao spoke as if he didn’t care, but his actions showed no hesitation.

“Brat, so you’re just a coward after all! Haha…”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God immediately concluded that Shui Miao was at his wit’s end. Without bothering to refine the chessboard, it quickly moved the Hong Yu Chessboard into its spatial realm and began chasing Shui Miao relentlessly.
“Boom!”
Within three to five breaths, the supreme sacred artifact chessboard within the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s spatial realm suddenly self-destructed!
“Haha, he fell for it!”
With a thought, Shui Miao stopped his flight and turned back to look at the Nine-Eyed Demon God, which had suddenly collapsed to the ground. This time, it was doomed!
“Hmph!”
The giant blood python seized the moment, suddenly lunging forward with its enormous gaping maw aimed straight at Shui Miao.
But before it could bite, the python was flung backward by an invisible barrier shield, sustaining some injury in the process.
“Wanna fight? Easy enough!”
In mid-air, Shui Miao stood atop the Hong Yu Chessboard, looking down upon the horde of demons. He unleashed the full power of all his sacred artifacts and the might of thirty-eight immortal emperor-level spirit weapons, instantly halting the advance of all celestial and demonic soldiers. The weaker ones at the forefront were directly obliterated by the overwhelming pressure, their souls scattered and utterly annihilated.
They had come to the celestial realm expecting a massacre.
Instead, they were the ones being mercilessly slaughtered.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God, being the strongest, bore the brunt of the pressure.
The giant blood python, which had been thrashing wildly, immediately raised its head high upon seeing Shui Miao, its massive crimson vertical pupils fixed intently on him, poised to attack at any moment.
“Are you the Nine-Eyed Demon God?” Shui Miao narrowed his eyes, coldly staring at the monstrous giant before him. Even the Nine-Eyed Demon God was struggling under the immense pressure of Shui Miao’s power.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s voice boomed like a giant bell, the sheer sound of it killing many of the weaker celestial and demonic soldiers. It was no joke—someone who could harness the power of thirty-eight immortal emperor-level spirit weapons was far beyond the concept of a mere human; he was akin to a supreme sacred artifact. Such terrifying power was naturally unbearable for the weaker demon soldiers.
“Kid, who exactly are you? Do you think you can stop us with just two treasures?” The Nine-Eyed Demon God roared, his body housing over a dozen demon emperors. With a sudden shake, he swung his massive twin hammers together, creating a flash of fire and a terrifying shockwave that injured a large number of celestial soldiers.
“Whoosh!”
The giant blood python seized the opportunity, suddenly opening its gaping maw to bite at Shui Miao…
“Bang!”
Before it could reach Shui Miao, the python was repelled by an invisible defensive shield, sustaining some injuries in the process.
“Want to fight? Easy!” Shui Miao’s mind stirred, and the entire Hong Yu Chessboard activated. Thirty-six attack methods, led by the purple aura, were unleashed simultaneously, filling the sky with a kaleidoscope of radiant light. Countless demon soldiers were instantly annihilated, while the celestial soldiers bathed in the light, their cultivation greatly enhanced. Those who had been injured by the shockwave were fully healed, and many who were at a bottleneck in their cultivation broke through to higher realms.
This was absolute annihilation.
Hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers were wiped out, and the giant blood python was severely injured in the powerful attack. It tried to flee, but it was immobilized, its magic boiling uncontrollably within its body. To make matters worse, the Nightmare Heart Technique continued to torment its mind, slowly leading to its demise.
For the giant blood python, if its master did not come to its rescue, death was inevitable.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God was also suffering, his situation similar to that of the python.
The Void Annihilation Array was repeatedly activated, destroying the protective shields and some of the treasures on both the Nine-Eyed Demon God and the giant blood python.
“Thud!”
The giant blood python’s raised head finally crashed heavily to the ground. After a few convulsions, its soul scattered, and it became a lifeless snake.
Half of the arrays within the Hong Yu Chessboard were killing arrays.
Each killing array, when activated, was incredibly powerful.
But for the superpowers of the demon realm, the most terrifying was the purple aura. The blood python had already been injured by the purple aura before, and now, with this additional blow, it was naturally unable to withstand it, leading to its inevitable death.
“Kid, who exactly are you? Are you… are you the disciple of Xuan Kong’er?” The Nine-Eyed Demon God’s massive body trembled under the radiant light. He was constantly channeling demonic energy to resist the attacks, while the demon emperors within him were desperately supplying him with power to withstand Shui Miao.
“Haha, guess!” Shui Miao suddenly laughed and summoned a newly forged sacred demonic artifact, directly unleashing it upon the Nine-Eyed Demon God.
“A sacred demonic artifact!!”
“How is this possible? How could you forge a sacred demonic artifact? Are you really Xuan Kong’er’s disciple?” Feeling the suppression of the sacred demonic artifact, the Nine-Eyed Demon God panicked.
This was no ordinary sacred demonic artifact. It was forged by Shui Miao based on the Skeleton Demon Emperor’s treasure, and within it, Shui Miao had embedded the Death Withering Array. To forge this artifact, Shui Miao had expended all the collected toxic mist and blood rain. But now, the sacred demonic artifact was complete and ready to be put to good use.
“Boom!”
Shui Miao had no intention of engaging with the Nine-Eyed Demon God. With another fierce attack from the Hong Yu Chessboard, the demon emperors within the Nine-Eyed Demon God could no longer withstand the pressure, all spitting blood and sustaining severe injuries.
With over a dozen demon emperors injured within him, the Nine-Eyed Demon God also began to falter, his body trembling violently.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God seemed to be waiting for Shui Miao’s response.
But Shui Miao had no intention of responding—only the thought of completely annihilating him.
“Hum!”
The Void Annihilation Array activated once more, and after several attacks, the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s twin hammers finally turned to scrap due to the array’s damage.
However, the Nine-Eyed Demon God suddenly sneered, “Kid, is this all you’ve got? If you’re Xuan Kong’er’s disciple, you should know what treasure I possess. To kill me, you’ll have to break this treasure of mine. Otherwise, you’ll never be able to kill me, not even in your next life. Once your energy is depleted, it will be my turn to counterattack and kill you.”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God was not boasting without reason. He indeed possessed an extraordinary treasure.
This treasure was the second greatest artifact of the demon realm, known as the Void Escape Mirror. As the name suggested, it was a demonic mirror that allowed him to instantly escape.
He was willing to endure severe injuries just to verify whether Shui Miao was truly Xuan Kong’er’s disciple.
This information might seem trivial, but in fact, it was closely tied to the fate of the demon realm.
Originally, the demon realm had been suppressed by the celestial court, constantly held back. It was only with the emergence of Xuan Kong’er that the demon realm rose to power and successfully took control of the celestial court. But then, Xuan Kong’er suddenly disappeared, and the remaining powerful figures of the celestial court went into hiding, leaving the demon realm without the means to continue its conquest.
But now, the Nine-Eyed Demon God had discovered Shui Miao and immediately suspected that he was Xuan Kong’er’s disciple.
Xuan Kong’er had vanished without a trace, and after searching the entire demon realm, it was highly possible that he had gone into hiding in the three realms of ghosts and gods.
Thus, the Nine-Eyed Demon God had to verify Shui Miao’s identity.
If Shui Miao was indeed Xuan Kong’er’s disciple, the demon realm would spare no effort to annihilate him, even if it meant destroying the three realms and turning the world upside down.
“Haha…” Shui Miao suddenly laughed, “In that case, let’s wait until I’ve exhausted all my energy.”
It was time to use other killing moves!
Shui Miao appeared indifferent on the surface, but inwardly, he was immediately on guard.
From the memories of the Skeleton Demon Emperor, Shui Miao had learned much. Xuan Kong’er was a genius of the ages. Although he had disappeared, he had left behind three super artifacts for the demon realm: the Substitute Mirror, the Void Escape Mirror, and the Myriad Evils Gu. These three super artifacts were mysterious and unpredictable, making them nearly impossible to defend against.
What Shui Miao feared most was naturally the Myriad Evils Gu, ranked first among them.
As for the Nine-Eyed Demon God before him, Shui Miao was certain he possessed the Void Escape Mirror. The most powerful Myriad Evils Gu was likely in the hands of the Demon Emperor Wu Yezi.
Though Shui Miao spoke lightly, his actions were swift and decisive.
The Hong Yu Chessboard continued to unleash fierce attacks, repeatedly injuring the Nine-Eyed Demon God.
Secretly, Shui Miao also intensified the activation of the Nightmare Heart Technique, further confusing and disorienting the Nine-Eyed Demon God, making him sluggish and slow to react.
“Fine! If you want to settle this with strength, then I’ll play with you today!” The Nine-Eyed Demon God suddenly shook his body, consuming a large number of demonic saint-level pills. The over a dozen demon emperors within him instantly recovered, their power doubling. He himself was also healed, his magic restored, and his demonic power increased by a full level! Immediately, a massive cloud of toxic mist and yin evil energy erupted from his body, like a dark cloud suddenly appearing in a clear sky, growing larger and larger.
The radiant light from the Hong Yu Chessboard was struggling to suppress it!
“Roar!”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God let out an earth-shaking roar, releasing tens of thousands of elite demon soldiers and numerous monsters from his spatial realm. He swung his arms, hurling the destroyed twin hammers at the defensive array and the main hall of the celestial commander’s camp. With two loud explosions, the defensive array was shattered, and the main hall was reduced to rubble.
The war drums fell silent, and the celestial soldiers were thrown into chaos.
Then, the Nine-Eyed Demon God summoned a pitch-black pagoda from his spatial realm, chanting incantations as the pagoda grew larger and larger, attempting to capture Shui Miao within it.
“Nine-Eyed Demon God, today you win. But I, Shui Miao, will return to settle the score with you!” Shui Miao suddenly vanished, abandoning the Hong Yu Chessboard and fleeing at top speed.
Seeing this, the celestial commander was stunned, “What just happened? How could he just run away like that?”
“Shui Miao, wait for me!”
Shui Tianyi, seeing Shui Miao flee, immediately gave chase.
“Huh?”
“What’s going on with this kid? Did he run out of energy? He even abandoned the Hong Yu Chessboard, a supreme sacred artifact!”
“This kid can’t be Xuan Kong’er’s disciple. Xuan Kong’er would never run away, and he certainly wouldn’t have a disciple who flees!”
Seeing Shui Miao abandon the Hong Yu Chessboard, the Nine-Eyed Demon God was both shocked and delighted. He immediately seized the chessboard, attempting to subdue the spirits of the many sacred artifacts within it and claim them for himself. But then he discovered that the Hong Yu Chessboard was empty—it was just a chessboard. All the sacred artifacts had been taken by Shui Miao!
“Brat, so this is all you’ve got! Haha…”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God was now convinced that Shui Miao was at his wit’s end. Without bothering to refine the chessboard, he quickly moved it into his spatial realm and began pursuing Shui Miao relentlessly.
“Boom!”
Within three to five breaths, the supreme sacred artifact chessboard within the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s spatial realm suddenly self-destructed!
“Haha, he fell for it!”
Shui Miao’s mind stirred, and he immediately stopped fleeing, turning back to look at the Nine-Eyed Demon God, who had crashed to the ground. This time, he was doomed!
This was annihilation—absolute annihilation.
In mid-air, Shui Miao stood atop the Hongyu Chessboard, looking down upon the horde of demons. He unleashed the full might of all his sacred artifacts and the power of the thirty-eight Immortal Emperor-level artifact spirits, instantly halting the advance of all celestial and demonic soldiers. The weaker ones at the forefront were directly obliterated by the overwhelming pressure, their souls scattered and utterly annihilated.
They had come to the celestial realm expecting a massacre.
Instead, they found themselves being the ones slaughtered.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God, being the strongest, bore the brunt of the pressure.
The giant blood serpent, which had been menacingly thrashing about, immediately raised its head high upon seeing Shui Miao again. Its massive, crimson vertical pupils locked onto Shui Miao, adopting a highly alert posture, ready to strike at any moment.
“Are you the Nine-Eyed Demon God?”
Shui Miao narrowed his eyes, coldly staring at the monstrous giant before him. Under the immense pressure of Shui Miao’s power, even the Nine-Eyed Demon God was struggling to hold on.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s voice boomed like a giant bell, its sheer volume alone killing many of the weaker celestial and demonic soldiers. It was no joke—someone who could harness the power of thirty-eight Immortal Emperor-level artifact spirits was far beyond the concept of a mere human. This was the power of a supreme sacred artifact, a terrifying force that the weaker demon soldiers could not withstand.
“Boy, who are you? Do you think you can stop us with just two treasures?”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God, who also harbored over a dozen Demon Emperors within him, roared furiously. Suddenly, he swung his massive dual hammers together, creating a flash of fire. The terrifying shockwave instantly injured a large number of celestial soldiers.
“Whoosh!”
The giant blood serpent seized the opportunity, suddenly opening its gaping maw and lunging at Shui Miao…
“Bang!”
Before it could bite Shui Miao, the serpent was repelled by an invisible defensive shield, sustaining some injuries in the process.
“Want to fight? Easy!”
With a thought from Shui Miao, the entire Hongyu Chessboard activated. Thirty-six different attack methods, led by the Purple Fortune Qi, were unleashed simultaneously. The sky was instantly filled with a dazzling array of colorful lights. Hordes of demon soldiers were annihilated in an instant, while the celestial soldiers bathed in the radiant light, their cultivation greatly enhanced. Those who had been injured by the shockwave were fully healed, and some who were at a bottleneck in their cultivation even broke through to higher realms.
This was absolute annihilation.
Tens of thousands of demon soldiers were wiped out. The giant blood serpent was severely injured by the powerful attacks. It tried to flee, but it was immobilized. Its internal magic was in chaos, refusing to obey its commands. To make matters worse, the Nightmare Heart Technique continued to torment its mind, causing it to slowly succumb to its demise in a dazed state.
For the giant blood serpent, if its master did not come to its rescue, death was inevitable.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God was not faring much better, his situation similar to that of the giant blood serpent.
The Void Annihilation Array was repeatedly activated, destroying the protective shields and some of the treasures on both the Nine-Eyed Demon God and the giant blood serpent.
“Thud!”
The giant blood serpent’s once proudly raised head finally crashed heavily to the ground. After a few convulsions, its soul dispersed, leaving behind a lifeless corpse.
Half of the arrays within the Hongyu Chessboard were killing arrays.
Each killing array, when activated, was incredibly powerful.
But for the superpowers of the demon realm, the most terrifying was the Purple Fortune Qi. The blood serpent had already been injured by the Purple Fortune Qi before, and now, with its wounds exacerbated, it was naturally unable to withstand the assault. Death was inevitable.
“Boy, who are you? Are you… are you the disciple of Xuan Kong’er?”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God’s massive body trembled under the radiant light. He was constantly channeling demonic energy to resist the attacks, while the Demon Emperors within him were desperately supplying him with power to counter Shui Miao.
“Haha, guess!”
Shui Miao suddenly laughed and summoned a newly forged sacred demonic artifact, directly unleashing it upon the Nine-Eyed Demon God.
“A sacred demonic artifact!!”
“How is this possible? How could you forge a sacred demonic artifact? Are you really the disciple of Xuan Kong’er?”
Feeling the suppression of the sacred demonic artifact, the Nine-Eyed Demon God panicked.
This was no ordinary sacred demonic artifact. It was forged by Shui Miao based on the Skeleton Demon Emperor’s treasure. Within it, Shui Miao had embedded the Death and Decay Array. To forge this artifact, Shui Miao had expended all the toxic mist and bloody rain he had collected. But now, the sacred demonic artifact was complete and ready to be put to good use.
“Boom!”
Shui Miao had no intention of engaging with the Nine-Eyed Demon God. With another fierce attack from the Hongyu Chessboard, the Demon Emperors within the Nine-Eyed Demon God could no longer withstand the assault, all of them vomiting blood and sustaining severe injuries.
With over a dozen Demon Emperors within him injured, the Nine-Eyed Demon God himself was also overwhelmed, his body trembling violently.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God seemed to be waiting for Shui Miao’s response.
But Shui Miao had no intention of responding. His only thought was to completely annihilate the demon.
“Hum!”
The Void Annihilation Array was activated once more. After several attacks, the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s dual hammers were finally rendered useless as the array destroyed them.
However, the Nine-Eyed Demon God suddenly sneered, “Boy, is this all you’ve got? If you’re really the disciple of Xuan Kong’er, you should know what treasure I possess.

This information might seem trivial, but in reality, it was closely tied to the fate of the demon realm.
Originally, the demon realm had been suppressed by the celestial court, constantly at a disadvantage. It was only with the emergence of Xuan Kong’er that the demon realm rose to power and successfully gained control over the celestial court. However, Xuan Kong’er suddenly disappeared, and the remaining powerful beings of the celestial court went into hiding. The demon realm suddenly lost the means to continue its conquest of the celestial court.
But now, the Nine-Eyed Demon God had discovered Shui Miao and directly suspected that he was the disciple of Xuan Kong’er.
Xuan Kong’er had vanished without a trace, and despite searching the entire demon realm, no one could find him. The possibility that he had infiltrated the three realms of ghosts and gods was highly likely.

As for the Nine-Eyed Demon God before him, Shui Miao was certain that he possessed the Void Escape Mirror. The most powerful Myriad Evils Gu was likely in the hands of the Demon Emperor Wu Yezi.
Shui Miao spoke as he did, but his actions showed no hesitation.
The Hongyu Chessboard continued to be fiercely activated, repeatedly injuring the Nine-Eyed Demon God.
Secretly, Shui Miao also intensified the activation of the Nightmare Heart Technique, confusing and disorienting the Nine-Eyed Demon God, making him sluggish and slow to react.
“Fine! If you want to settle this with strength, then I’ll play with you today!”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God suddenly shook his body, consuming a large number of demonic saint-level elixirs. The over a dozen Demon Emperors within him instantly recovered, their power doubling. He himself was also healed, his magic restored, and his demonic power increased by a full fold! Immediately after, a massive amount of toxic mist and yin evil energy erupted from the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s body, like a dark cloud suddenly appearing in a clear sky, growing larger and larger.
The radiant light from the Hongyu Chessboard was struggling to suppress it!
“Roar!”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God let out an extremely terrifying roar, releasing tens of thousands of elite demon soldiers and numerous monsters from his spatial realm. He swung his arms, hurling the destroyed dual hammers at the defensive array and the main command hall set up by the celestial commander. Two loud explosions later, the defensive array was shattered, and the main command hall was reduced to rubble.
The war drums ceased, and the celestial soldiers under the celestial commander’s command were thrown into chaos.
Immediately after, the Nine-Eyed Demon God summoned a pitch-black pagoda from his spatial realm, chanting incantations. The pagoda grew larger and larger, threatening to engulf Shui Miao.
“Nine-Eyed Demon God, you’ve got me today, but I, Shui Miao, will return to settle the score with you!” Shui Miao suddenly flashed away, abandoning the Hongyu Chessboard and fleeing at top speed!
Seeing this, the celestial commander was stunned, “What just happened? How could he just run away like that?”
“Shui Miao, wait for me!”
Shui Tianyi, seeing Shui Miao flee, immediately gave chase.
“Huh?”
“What’s going on with this kid? Did he run out of energy? He even abandoned the Hongyu Chessboard, composed of supreme sacred artifacts!”
“This kid definitely isn’t the disciple of Xuan Kong’er. Xuan Kong’er would never flee, and he would never have a disciple who flees!”
Seeing Shui Miao abandon the Hongyu Chessboard, the Nine-Eyed Demon God was shaken. He immediately seized the Hongyu Chessboard, quickly activating his divine sense to subdue the many artifact spirits within the chessboard and claim it for himself. But then, the Nine-Eyed Demon God discovered that the Hongyu Chessboard was empty—it was just a chessboard. All the sacred artifacts had been taken away by Shui Miao!
“Brat, so this is all you’ve got! Haha…”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God immediately concluded that Shui Miao was at his wit’s end. Without bothering to refine the chessboard, he quickly moved the Hongyu Chessboard into his spatial realm and began chasing Shui Miao relentlessly.
“Boom!”
Within three to five breaths, the supreme sacred artifact chessboard within the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s spatial realm suddenly self-destructed!
“Haha, he fell for it!”
Shui Miao’s heart stirred, and he immediately stopped his flight, turning back to look at the Nine-Eyed Demon God, who had suddenly plummeted to the ground. This time, he was doomed!
For the giant blood python, if its master could not come to its aid, death was the only outcome.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God wasn’t faring much better, facing a similar plight.
The Void Annihilation Formation was activated repeatedly, shattering the protective shields and destroying various treasures on the bodies of the Nine-Eyed Demon God and the giant blood python.
With a thunderous crash, the python’s raised head slammed heavily to the ground. It twitched a few times before its soul scattered into the void, becoming a lifeless corpse.
Within the Hongyu Chessboard, half of its formations were deadly killing arrays.
Each one, when activated, was extremely powerful.
In mid-air, Shui Miao stood atop the vast cosmic chessboard, looking down upon the horde of demons with disdain. He fully activated the power of all the sacred artifacts and the might of the thirty-eight celestial emperor-level spirit weapons, instantly halting the advance of all celestial and demonic soldiers. The weaker ones at the forefront were directly obliterated by the overwhelming pressure, their souls scattered and utterly annihilated.
They had come to the celestial realm expecting a massacre.
Instead, they were the ones being annihilated with overwhelming force.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God, being the strongest, bore the brunt of the pressure.
The giant blood python, which had been thrashing wildly, immediately raised its head high upon seeing Shui Miao again. Its massive crimson vertical pupils locked onto Shui Miao, adopting a highly alert posture, ready to attack at any moment.
“Are you the Nine-Eyed Demon God?” Shui Miao narrowed his eyes, coldly staring at the monstrous giant before him. Under the immense pressure from Shui Miao’s side, even the Nine-Eyed Demon God was struggling to hold on.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s voice boomed like a giant bell, and the sheer sound of it killed many of the weaker celestial and demonic soldiers. It was no joke—someone who had gathered the power of thirty-eight celestial emperor-level spirit weapons had far surpassed the concept of a mere mortal. This was the power of a supreme sacred artifact, a terrifying force that the weaker demon soldiers could not withstand.
“Kid, who exactly are you? Do you think having two treasures can stop us?” The Nine-Eyed Demon God, who also harbored over a dozen demon emperors within him, roared incessantly. Suddenly, he swung his massive dual hammers together, creating a flash of fire. The terrifying shockwave immediately injured a large number of celestial soldiers.
“Whoosh!”
The giant blood python seized the opportunity, suddenly opening its gaping maw and lunging at Shui Miao…

“Want to fight? Easy!” Shui Miao’s mind stirred, and the entire cosmic chessboard was activated. Thirty-six attack methods, led by the purple fortune energy, were unleashed simultaneously. The sky was instantly filled with a kaleidoscope of radiant light. Large swathes of demon soldiers were annihilated on the spot, while the celestial soldiers bathed in the light, their cultivation greatly enhanced. Those who had been injured by the shockwave were fully healed, and some who were at a bottleneck in their cultivation even broke through to higher realms.
This was absolute annihilation.
Hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers were wiped out, and the giant blood python was severely injured by the powerful attacks. It tried to flee, but it was immobilized. Its magic power boiled within its body, completely out of control. To make matters worse, the nightmare heart technique continued to plague its mind, causing it to slowly succumb to annihilation in a dazed state.
For the giant blood python, if its master could not save it, death was inevitable.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God was also suffering, its situation similar to that of the giant blood python.
The Void Annihilation Array was repeatedly activated, destroying the shields and some of the treasures on the Nine-Eyed Demon God and the giant blood python.
“Thud!”

As for the Nine-Eyed Demon God before him, Shui Miao was certain he possessed the Void Escape Mirror. The most powerful Ten Thousand Evils Gu should be in the hands of the Demon Emperor Wu Yezi.
Shui Miao spoke casually, but his actions were swift and decisive.
The cosmic chessboard continued to be fiercely activated, repeatedly injuring the Nine-Eyed Demon God.

Seeing this, the celestial commander was stunned, “What just happened? How could he just run away like that?”
“Shui Miao, wait for me!”
Shui Tianyi, seeing Shui Miao flee, immediately gave chase.
“Huh?”
“What’s going on with this kid? Did he run out of energy? He even abandoned the cosmic chessboard made of supreme sacred artifacts?”
“This kid definitely isn’t Xuan Kong’er’s disciple. Xuan Kong’er would never flee, and he wouldn’t have a disciple who runs away either!”
Seeing Shui Miao abandon the cosmic chessboard, the Nine-Eyed Demon God was shaken. He immediately grabbed the cosmic chessboard, quickly activating his divine sense to subdue the many spirit weapons within it and claim them for himself. But then, the Nine-Eyed Demon God discovered that the cosmic chessboard was empty—it was just a chessboard. All the sacred artifacts had been taken by Shui Miao!
“Brat, so this is all you’ve got! Haha…”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God immediately concluded that Shui Miao was at his wit’s end. Without bothering to refine the chessboard, he quickly moved the cosmic chessboard into his spatial realm and began a relentless pursuit of Shui Miao.
“Boom!”
Within three to five breaths, the supreme sacred artifact chessboard within the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s spatial realm suddenly self-destructed!
“Haha, he fell for it!”
Shui Miao’s mind stirred, and he immediately stopped fleeing, turning back to look at the Nine-Eyed Demon God, who had suddenly collapsed to the ground. This time, he was doomed!
“Boy, who exactly are you? Are you… the disciple of Xuan Kong’er?”
In mid-air, Shui Miao stood atop the Hong Yu Chessboard, looking down upon the horde of demons with disdain. He unleashed the full power of all the sacred artifacts and the might of the thirty-eight immortal emperor-level spirit weapons, instantly halting the advance of all the celestial and demonic soldiers. The weaker ones at the forefront were directly obliterated by the overwhelming pressure, their souls scattered and utterly annihilated.
They had come to the celestial realm expecting a massacre.
Instead, they were the ones being annihilated.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God, being the strongest, bore the brunt of the pressure.
The giant blood python, which had been thrashing about, immediately raised its head high upon seeing Shui Miao, its massive crimson vertical pupils locked onto him, poised to attack at any moment.
“Are you the Nine-Eyed Demon God?” Shui Miao narrowed his eyes, coldly staring at the monstrous giant before him. Under the immense pressure of Shui Miao’s aura, even the Nine-Eyed Demon God was struggling.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s voice boomed like a great bell, the sheer sound of it killing many of the weaker celestial and demonic soldiers. It was no joke—someone who could harness the power of thirty-eight immortal emperor-level spirit weapons was far beyond the concept of a mere human; he was akin to a supreme sacred artifact. Such terrifying power was naturally unbearable for the weaker demon soldiers.
“Boy, who exactly are you? Do you think you can stop us with just two artifacts?” The Nine-Eyed Demon God, who also harbored over a dozen demon emperors within him, roared furiously. Suddenly, he swung his massive hammers together, creating a flash of fire and a terrifying shockwave that injured a large number of celestial soldiers.
“Whoosh!”
The giant blood python seized the opportunity, opening its massive maw to bite down on Shui Miao…
“Bang!”
Before it could reach Shui Miao, the python was repelled by an invisible shield, sustaining some injuries in the process.
“Want to fight? Easy!”
With a thought from Shui Miao, the entire Hong Yu Chessboard activated, unleashing thirty-six different attacks led by the purple aura. The sky was instantly filled with a kaleidoscope of radiant light, annihilating large swathes of demon soldiers. Meanwhile, the celestial soldiers bathed in the light, their cultivation greatly enhanced. Those who had been injured were fully healed, and those at a bottleneck in their cultivation broke through to new levels.
This was absolute annihilation.
Hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers were wiped out, and the giant blood python was severely injured in the powerful assault. It tried to flee but found itself immobilized, its magic boiling uncontrollably within its body. To make matters worse, the Nightmare Heart Technique was clouding its mind, slowly leading it to its demise.
For the giant blood python, if its master did not come to its rescue, death was inevitable.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God was not faring much better, its situation similar to that of the python.
The Annihilation Array was repeatedly activated, destroying the shields and artifacts of both the Nine-Eyed Demon God and the giant blood python.
“Thud!”
The python’s raised head finally crashed to the ground, twitching a few times before its soul dispersed, leaving behind a lifeless corpse.
Half of the formations within the Hong Yu Chessboard were killing arrays.
Each killing array was incredibly powerful when activated.
But for the superpowers of the demon realm, the most terrifying was the purple aura. The blood python, already injured by the purple aura, now faced further devastation, making its death inevitable.
“Boy, who exactly are you? Are you… are you the disciple of Xuan Kong’er?” The Nine-Eyed Demon God’s massive body trembled under the radiant light as he desperately channeled demonic energy to resist the attacks. The demon emperors within him were also frantically supplying him with power to withstand Shui Miao.
“Haha, guess!” Shui Miao suddenly laughed, summoning a newly forged sacred demon artifact and directing it at the Nine-Eyed Demon God.
“A sacred demon artifact!!”
“How is this possible? How could you forge a sacred demon artifact? Are you really Xuan Kong’er’s disciple?”
Feeling the suppression of the sacred demon artifact, the Nine-Eyed Demon God panicked.
This was no ordinary sacred demon artifact—it was one Shui Miao had forged based on the Skeleton Demon Emperor’s artifact, imbued with a death and decay array. To create it, Shui Miao had expended all the toxic mist and blood rain he had collected. But now, the artifact was complete and ready for use.
“Boom!”
Shui Miao had no intention of engaging with the Nine-Eyed Demon God. With another fierce attack from the Hong Yu Chessboard, the demon emperors within the Nine-Eyed Demon God were overwhelmed, vomiting blood and sustaining severe injuries.
With over a dozen demon emperors injured within him, the Nine-Eyed Demon God also began to falter, his body trembling violently.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God seemed to be waiting for Shui Miao’s response.
But Shui Miao had no intention of responding—he only sought complete annihilation.
“Hum!”
The Annihilation Array activated once more, and after several attacks, the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s hammers were finally rendered useless by the array’s damage.
However, the Nine-Eyed Demon God suddenly sneered, “Boy, is this all you’ve got? If you’re Xuan Kong’er’s disciple, you should know what artifact I possess. To kill me, you must first destroy this artifact. Otherwise, you’ll never be able to kill me, not even in your next life. Once your crystals are depleted, it will be my turn to strike and annihilate you.”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God’s boast was not baseless—he indeed possessed an exceptional artifact.
This artifact, the second most powerful in the demon realm, was called the Void Escape Mirror, a demonic mirror that allowed him to instantly flee.
He was willing to endure severe injuries just to verify whether Shui Miao was truly Xuan Kong’er’s disciple.
This information seemed trivial, but in reality, it was closely tied to the fate of the demon realm.
Originally, the demon realm had been suppressed by the celestial court, constantly constrained. It was only with the emergence of Xuan Kong’er that the demon realm rose to power and gained control over the celestial court. But then, Xuan Kong’er suddenly disappeared, and the remaining celestial powers went into hiding, leaving the demon realm without the means to continue its conquest.
Now, the Nine-Eyed Demon God had discovered Shui Miao and suspected him to be Xuan Kong’er’s disciple.
Xuan Kong’er had vanished without a trace, and the possibility that he had infiltrated the three realms of ghosts and gods was highly plausible.
Thus, the Nine-Eyed Demon God had to verify Shui Miao’s identity.
If Shui Miao was indeed Xuan Kong’er’s disciple, the demon realm would spare no effort to annihilate him, even if it meant destroying the three realms and turning the world upside down.
“Haha…” Shui Miao suddenly laughed, “In that case, let’s wait until I’ve exhausted all my crystals.”
It was time to employ other killing moves!
Shui Miao appeared indifferent on the surface, but internally, he was on high alert.
From the memories of the Skeleton Demon Emperor, Shui Miao had learned much about Xuan Kong’er, a genius of the ages. Though he had disappeared, he had left behind three super artifacts for the demon realm: the Substitute Mirror, the Void Escape Mirror, and the Myriad Evils Gu. These artifacts were mysterious and unpredictable, making them nearly impossible to defend against.
What Shui Miao feared most was naturally the top-ranked Myriad Evils Gu.
As for the Nine-Eyed Demon God before him, Shui Miao was certain he possessed the Void Escape Mirror, while the most powerful Myriad Evils Gu was likely in the hands of the Demon Emperor Wu Yezi.
Though Shui Miao spoke casually, his actions were swift and decisive.
The Hong Yu Chessboard continued to unleash fierce attacks, repeatedly injuring the Nine-Eyed Demon God.
Secretly, Shui Miao intensified the Nightmare Heart Technique, further clouding the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s mind, making him sluggish and slow to react.
“Fine! If you want to settle this with strength, I’ll play along today!”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God suddenly shook, consuming a large number of demonic saint-level pills. The dozen or so demon emperors within him instantly recovered, their power doubled. He himself was also healed, his magic restored, and his demonic power increased twofold! Immediately, a massive cloud of toxic mist and yin energy emerged from his body, like a dark cloud suddenly appearing in a clear sky, growing larger and larger.
The radiant light from the Hong Yu Chessboard was struggling to suppress it!
“Roar!”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God let out a terrifying roar, releasing tens of thousands of elite demon soldiers and numerous monsters from his spatial realm. He swung his arms, hurling the destroyed hammers at the defensive array and the main hall of the celestial commander’s camp. Two loud explosions later, the defensive array was shattered, and the main hall was reduced to rubble.
The war drums fell silent, and chaos ensued among the celestial soldiers.
Then, the Nine-Eyed Demon God summoned a pitch-black pagoda from his spatial realm, chanting incantations as the pagoda grew larger, attempting to capture Shui Miao within it.
“Nine-Eyed Demon God, today you win, but I, Shui Miao, will return to settle the score!” Shui Miao suddenly vanished, abandoning the Hong Yu Chessboard and fleeing at top speed.
Seeing this, the celestial commander was stunned, “What just happened? How could he just run away?”
“Shui Miao, wait for me!”
Shui Tianyi, seeing Shui Miao flee, immediately gave chase.
“Huh?”
“What’s going on with this kid? Did he run out of crystals? How could he abandon the Hong Yu Chessboard, a supreme sacred artifact?”
“This kid can’t be Xuan Kong’er’s disciple. Xuan Kong’er would never flee, nor would he have a disciple who runs away!”
Seeing Shui Miao abandon the Hong Yu Chessboard, the Nine-Eyed Demon God was shaken. He quickly seized the chessboard, attempting to subdue the spirit weapons within and claim them for himself. But then he discovered that the chessboard was empty—it was just a board, and all the sacred artifacts had been taken by Shui Miao!
“Brat, so this is all you’ve got! Haha…”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God immediately concluded that Shui Miao was cornered. Without bothering to refine the chessboard, he quickly moved it into his spatial realm and pursued Shui Miao relentlessly.
“Boom!”
Within a few breaths, the supreme sacred artifact chessboard within the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s spatial realm suddenly self-destructed!
“Haha, he fell for it!”
With a thought, Shui Miao stopped his flight and turned back to look at the Nine-Eyed Demon God, who had crashed to the ground. This time, he was doomed.
“Haha, what do you think?”
Shui Miao suddenly laughed, then summoned a newly forged Sacred-Demonic Artifact and unleashed it directly at the Nine-Eyed Demon God.
“A Sacred-Demonic Artifact!!”
“How is this possible? How can you forge a Sacred-Demonic Artifact? Could you really be Xuan Kong’er’s disciple?”
Feeling the oppressive force of the Sacred-Demonic Artifact, the Nine-Eyed Demon God panicked.
In mid-air, Shui Miao stood atop the vast cosmic chessboard, looking down upon the horde of demons. With all his might, he activated the power of all the sacred artifacts and the thirty-eight immortal emperor-level spirit weapons, instantly halting the advance of all the celestial and demonic soldiers. The weaker ones at the forefront were directly obliterated by the overwhelming pressure, their souls scattered and utterly annihilated.
They had come to the celestial realm expecting a massacre.
Instead, they were the ones being mercilessly slaughtered.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God, being the strongest, bore the brunt of the pressure.
The once ferocious giant blood python, upon seeing Shui Miao again, immediately raised its head high in alertness. Its massive crimson vertical pupils locked onto Shui Miao, adopting a highly vigilant stance, ready to attack at any moment.
“So, you are the Nine-Eyed Demon God?” Shui Miao narrowed his eyes, coldly staring at the monstrous giant before him. Under the immense pressure of Shui Miao’s aura, even the Nine-Eyed Demon God was struggling to hold on.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s voice boomed like a giant bell, the sheer sound of it killing many of the weaker celestial and demonic soldiers. It was no joke—someone who could harness the power of thirty-eight immortal emperor-level spirit weapons had far surpassed the concept of a mere human; he was akin to a supreme sacred artifact. Such terrifying power was naturally unbearable for the weaker demon soldiers.
“Kid, who exactly are you? Do you think having a couple of treasures can stop us?” The Nine-Eyed Demon God, who also harbored over a dozen demon emperors within him, roared incessantly. Suddenly, he swung his massive dual hammers together, creating a flash of fire. The terrifying shockwave instantly injured a large number of celestial soldiers.
“Whoosh!”
The giant blood python seized the opportunity, suddenly opening its massive maw to bite down on Shui Miao…
“Bang!”
Before it could reach Shui Miao, the python was repelled by an invisible defensive shield, sustaining some injuries in the process.
“Want to fight? Easy!” With a thought from Shui Miao, the entire cosmic chessboard activated. Thirty-six different attack methods, led by the purple aura, were unleashed simultaneously. The sky was instantly filled with a kaleidoscope of radiant light. Large swathes of demonic soldiers were annihilated instantly, while the celestial soldiers bathed in the light, their cultivation greatly enhanced. Those who had been injured earlier were fully healed, and some who were at a bottleneck in their cultivation even broke through to higher realms.
This was absolute annihilation.
Hundreds of thousands of demonic soldiers were wiped out. The giant blood python was also severely injured in the powerful attack. It tried to flee, but found itself immobilized. Its internal energy was boiling uncontrollably, and to make matters worse, the Nightmare Heart Technique was clouding its mind, causing it to slowly succumb to its demise in a dazed state.
For the giant blood python, if its master could not save it, death was inevitable.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God was also suffering, its situation similar to that of the giant python.
The Void Annihilation Array was repeatedly activated, destroying the protective shields and some of the treasures on both the Nine-Eyed Demon God and the giant python.
“Thud!”
The giant python’s raised head finally crashed heavily to the ground. After a few convulsions, its soul dissipated, leaving behind a lifeless snake.
Within the cosmic chessboard, half of the arrays were designed for killing.
Each killing array, when activated, was incredibly potent.
But for the superpowers of the demon realm, the most terrifying was still the purple aura. The blood python had already been injured by the purple aura before, and now, with its wounds exacerbated, it was naturally unable to withstand the assault, leading to its inevitable death.
“Kid, who exactly are you? Are you the disciple of Xuan Kong’er?” The massive body of the Nine-Eyed Demon God trembled under the radiant light. It was constantly channeling demonic energy to resist the attacks, while the demon emperors within it were desperately supplying it with power to withstand Shui Miao.
“Haha, guess!” Shui Miao suddenly laughed, then summoned a newly forged sacred demonic artifact, directly unleashing it upon the Nine-Eyed Demon God.
“A sacred demonic artifact!!”
“How is this possible? How could you forge a sacred demonic artifact? Are you really the disciple of Xuan Kong’er?”
Feeling the suppression of the sacred demonic artifact, the Nine-Eyed Demon God panicked.
This was no ordinary sacred demonic artifact. It was forged by Shui Miao based on the treasure of the Skeleton Demon Emperor. Within it, Shui Miao had embedded the Death Withering Array. To forge this artifact, Shui Miao had expended all the collected toxic mist and blood rain. But now, the sacred demonic artifact was complete and ready to be put to good use.
“Boom!”
Shui Miao had no intention of engaging with the Nine-Eyed Demon God. With another fierce attack from the cosmic chessboard, the demon emperors within the Nine-Eyed Demon God could no longer hold on, all spitting blood and sustaining severe injuries.
With over a dozen demon emperors within him injured, the Nine-Eyed Demon God also began to falter, his body trembling violently.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God seemed to be waiting for Shui Miao’s response.
But Shui Miao had no intention of responding; his only thought was to annihilate the demon god completely.
“Hum!”
The Void Annihilation Array was activated once more. After several attacks, the dual hammers in the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s hands were finally rendered useless due to the array’s damage.
However, the Nine-Eyed Demon God suddenly sneered, “Kid, is this all you’ve got? If you’re really the disciple of Xuan Kong’er, you should know what treasure I possess. To kill me, you’ll have to break this treasure of mine. Otherwise, you’ll never be able to kill me, not even in your next life. Once your energy is depleted, it will be my turn to counterattack and annihilate you.”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God wasn’t boasting without reason. He indeed possessed an exceptional treasure.
This treasure was the second greatest artifact of the demon realm, known as the Void Escape Mirror. As the name suggests, it was a demonic mirror that allowed him to escape instantly.
He was willing to endure severe injuries just to verify whether Shui Miao was indeed the disciple of Xuan Kong’er.
This information might seem trivial, but in reality, it was closely tied to the fate of the demon realm.
Originally, the demon realm was suppressed by the celestial court, constantly under control. It wasn’t until the emergence of Xuan Kong’er that the demon realm rose to power and successfully took control of the celestial court. However, Xuan Kong’er suddenly disappeared, and the remaining powerful beings of the celestial court went into hiding. The demon realm suddenly lost the means to continue its conquest of the celestial court.
But now, the Nine-Eyed Demon God had discovered Shui Miao and directly suspected him to be the disciple of Xuan Kong’er.
Xuan Kong’er had vanished without a trace, and despite searching the entire demon realm, no one could find him. The possibility of him hiding in the three realms of ghosts and deities was highly plausible.
Therefore, the Nine-Eyed Demon God had to verify Shui Miao’s identity.
If Shui Miao was indeed the disciple of Xuan Kong’er, the demon realm would spare no effort to annihilate him, even if it meant destroying the three realms and turning the world upside down.
“Haha…” Shui Miao suddenly laughed, “In that case, let’s wait until I’ve exhausted all my energy.”
It was time to use other killing moves!
While Shui Miao appeared nonchalant on the surface, he was immediately on guard internally.
From the memories of the Skeleton Demon Emperor, Shui Miao had learned much. Xuan Kong’er was a genius of the ages. Although he had disappeared, he left behind three super artifacts for the demon realm: the Substitute Mirror, the Void Escape Mirror, and the Ten Thousand Evils Gu. These three super artifacts were mysterious and unpredictable, making them nearly impossible to defend against.
What Shui Miao feared most was naturally the Ten Thousand Evils Gu, ranked first among them.
As for the Nine-Eyed Demon God before him, Shui Miao was certain he possessed the Void Escape Mirror. The most powerful Ten Thousand Evils Gu was likely in the hands of the Demon Emperor Wu Yezi.
Though Shui Miao spoke casually, his actions were swift and decisive.
The cosmic chessboard continued to be fiercely activated, relentlessly injuring the Nine-Eyed Demon God.
Secretly, Shui Miao also intensified the Nightmare Heart Technique, clouding and confusing the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s thoughts, making him sluggish and slow to react.
“Fine! Since you want to settle this with strength, I’ll play along today!” The Nine-Eyed Demon God suddenly shook his body, consuming a large number of demonic saint-level pills.

He swung his arms, hurling the destroyed dual hammers at the defensive array and the main hall of the celestial commander’s camp. Two loud explosions later, the defensive array was shattered, and the main hall was reduced to rubble.
The war drums ceased, and the celestial soldiers under the commander’s command fell into chaos.
Immediately after, the Nine-Eyed Demon God summoned a pitch-black pagoda from his spatial realm, chanting incantations. The pagoda grew larger and larger, attempting to suck Shui Miao inside.
“Nine-Eyed Demon God, today you win, but I, Shui Miao, will return to settle the score with you!” Shui Miao suddenly vanished, abandoning the cosmic chessboard and fleeing at top speed.
Seeing this, the celestial commander was stunned, “What just happened? How could he just run away like that?”
“Shui Miao, wait for me!”
Shui Tianyi, seeing Shui Miao flee, immediately gave chase.
“Huh?”
“What’s going on with this kid? Did he run out of energy? How could he abandon the cosmic chessboard, composed of supreme sacred artifacts?”
“This kid definitely isn’t the disciple of Xuan Kong’er. Xuan Kong’er wouldn’t run away, and he certainly wouldn’t have a disciple who flees!”
Seeing Shui Miao abandon the cosmic chessboard, the Nine-Eyed Demon God was shaken. He immediately grabbed the chessboard, attempting to subdue the spirits of the many sacred artifacts within it and claim them for himself. But soon, he discovered that the cosmic chessboard was empty—it was just a chessboard. All the sacred artifacts had been taken by Shui Miao!
“Brat, so this is all you’ve got! Haha…”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God immediately concluded that Shui Miao was at his wit’s end. Without bothering to refine the chessboard, he quickly moved it into his spatial realm and began chasing Shui Miao relentlessly.

With a thought from Shui Miao, the entire Hongyu Chessboard activated. Thirty-six attack methods, led by the Purple Fortune Qi, were unleashed simultaneously. The sky was instantly filled with a kaleidoscope of radiant light. Large swathes of demon soldiers were annihilated on the spot, while the celestial soldiers bathed in the light, their cultivation greatly enhanced. Those who had been injured by the shockwave were fully healed, and many who were at a bottleneck in their cultivation broke through to higher realms.
This was absolute annihilation.
Hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers were wiped out. The giant blood serpent was severely injured in the powerful attack. It tried to flee, but found itself immobilized. Its magic power boiled uncontrollably within its body, refusing to obey its commands. To make matters worse, the Nightmare Heart Technique continued to torment its mind, causing it to slowly succumb to annihilation in a dazed state.
For the giant blood serpent, if its master could not save it, death was inevitable.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God was also suffering, its situation similar to that of the blood serpent.
The Void Annihilation Array was repeatedly activated, destroying the shields and some of the treasures on both the Nine-Eyed Demon God and the giant blood serpent.
“Thud!”
The giant blood serpent’s once high-raised head finally crashed heavily to the ground. After a few convulsions, its soul scattered, and it became a lifeless snake.

Each killing array, when activated, was incredibly powerful.
But for the superpowers of the demon realm, the most terrifying was the Purple Fortune Qi. The blood serpent had already been injured by it before, and now, with the added damage, it naturally could not withstand the assault. Death was inevitable.
“Boy, who exactly are you? Are you the disciple of Xuankong’er?” The Nine-Eyed Demon God’s massive body trembled under the radiant light. It was continuously channeling demonic energy to resist the attacks, while the demon emperors within it were desperately supplying it with power to counter Shui Miao.
“Haha, guess!” Shui Miao suddenly laughed and summoned a newly forged sacred demon artifact, directly unleashing it upon the Nine-Eyed Demon God.
“A sacred demon artifact!!”
“How is this possible? How could you forge a sacred demon artifact? Are you really Xuankong’er’s disciple?”
Feeling the suppression from the sacred demon artifact, the Nine-Eyed Demon God panicked.
This was no ordinary sacred demon artifact. It was forged by Shui Miao based on the Skeleton Demon Emperor’s treasure. Within it, Shui Miao had embedded the Death Withering Array. To forge this artifact, Shui Miao had expended all the collected poisonous mist and blood rain. But now, the sacred demon artifact was complete and ready for use.
“Boom!”
Shui Miao had no intention of engaging with the Nine-Eyed Demon God. With another fierce attack from the Hongyu Chessboard, the demon emperors within the Nine-Eyed Demon God could no longer withstand the pressure. They all vomited blood, severely injured.
With over a dozen demon emperors within him injured, the Nine-Eyed Demon God also began to falter, his body trembling violently.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God seemed to be waiting for Shui Miao’s response.
But Shui Miao had no intention of responding; his only thought was to annihilate the demon god completely.
“Hum!”
The Void Annihilation Array was activated once more. After several attacks, the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s hammers were finally reduced to scrap by the array’s destructive power.
However, the Nine-Eyed Demon God suddenly sneered, “Boy, is that all you’ve got? If you’re Xuankong’er’s disciple, you should know what treasure I possess. To kill me, you must first destroy this treasure of mine. Otherwise, you’ll never be able to kill me, not even in your next life. Once your crystals are depleted, it will be my turn to counterattack and annihilate you.”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God’s words were not mere bravado. He indeed possessed an extraordinary treasure.
This treasure was the second most powerful artifact in the demon realm, known as the Void Escape Mirror. As the name suggested, it was a demonic mirror that allowed him to escape instantly.
He was willing to endure severe injuries just to verify whether Shui Miao was truly Xuankong’er’s disciple.

It was only with the emergence of Xuankong’er that the demon realm rose to power and successfully controlled the celestial court. However, Xuankong’er suddenly disappeared, and the remaining powerful figures of the celestial court went into hiding. The demon realm suddenly lost the means to continue its conquest of the celestial court.

Although he had disappeared, he left behind three super artifacts for the demon realm: the Substitute Mirror, the Void Escape Mirror, and the Myriad Evils Gu. These three super artifacts were mysterious and unpredictable, with unfathomable power, making them difficult to guard against.
What Shui Miao feared and dreaded the most was naturally the top-ranked Myriad Evils Gu.
As for the Nine-Eyed Demon God before him, Shui Miao was certain he possessed the Void Escape Mirror. The most powerful Myriad Evils Gu was likely in the hands of the Demon Emperor Wuyezi.
Shui Miao spoke as he did, but his actions showed no hesitation.
The Hongyu Chessboard continued to be fiercely activated, repeatedly injuring the Nine-Eyed Demon God.
Secretly, Shui Miao also intensified the activation of the Nightmare Heart Technique, confusing and disorienting the Nine-Eyed Demon God, making him sluggish and slow to react.
“Fine! Since you want to settle this with strength, I’ll play with you today!”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God suddenly shook his body and consumed a large number of demonic saint-level elixirs, instantly healing the over a dozen demon emperors within him and doubling their power. He himself was also instantly healed, his magic power fully restored and his demonic energy doubled! Immediately after, a vast amount of poisonous mist and yin evil energy erupted from the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s body, like a dark cloud suddenly appearing in a clear sky, growing larger and larger.
The radiant light from the Hongyu Chessboard was struggling to suppress it!
“Roar!”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God let out an extremely terrifying roar, releasing tens of thousands of elite demon soldiers and numerous monsters from his spatial realm. He swung his arms, hurling the destroyed hammers at the defensive array and the main hall of the celestial commander’s camp. Two loud explosions later, the defensive array was shattered, and the main hall was reduced to rubble.
The war drums ceased, and the celestial soldiers under the commander’s leadership fell into chaos.
Immediately after, the Nine-Eyed Demon God summoned a pitch-black pagoda from his spatial realm, chanting incantations. The pagoda grew larger and larger, threatening to engulf Shui Miao.
“Nine-Eyed Demon God, today you win, but I, Shui Miao, will return to settle the score with you!” Shui Miao suddenly vanished, abandoning the Hongyu Chessboard and fleeing at top speed.
Seeing this, the celestial commander was stunned, “How could this be? How could he just run away?”
“Shui Miao, wait for me!”
Shui Tianyi, seeing Shui Miao flee, immediately gave chase.
“Huh?”
“What’s going on with this kid? Did he run out of crystals? He even abandoned the Hongyu Chessboard, composed of supreme sacred artifacts!”
“This kid definitely isn’t Xuankong’er’s disciple. Xuankong’er wouldn’t run away, and he wouldn’t have a disciple who runs away!”
Seeing Shui Miao abandon the Hongyu Chessboard, the Nine-Eyed Demon God was shaken. He immediately seized the chessboard, quickly activating his divine sense to subdue the many spirit artifacts within the Hongyu Chessboard and claim them for himself. But then, the Nine-Eyed Demon God discovered that the Hongyu Chessboard was empty—it was just a chessboard. All the sacred artifacts had been taken by Shui Miao!
“Brat, so you’re just a coward after all! Haha…”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God immediately concluded that Shui Miao was at his wit’s end. Without bothering to refine the chessboard, he quickly moved the Hongyu Chessboard into his spatial realm and began chasing Shui Miao relentlessly.
“Boom!”
Within three to five breaths, the supreme sacred artifact chessboard within the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s spatial realm suddenly self-destructed!
“Haha, he fell for it!”
Shui Miao’s heart stirred, and he immediately stopped fleeing, turning back to look at the Nine-Eyed Demon God, who had crashed to the ground. This time, he was doomed!
In mid-air, Shui Miao stood atop the Hong Yu Chessboard, looking down upon the horde of demons. He summoned the full might of all the sacred artifacts and the thirty-eight immortal emperor-level spirit weapons, instantly halting the advance of the celestial and demonic soldiers. The weaker ones at the forefront were directly obliterated by the overwhelming pressure, their souls scattered and utterly annihilated.
They had come to the celestial realm expecting a massacre.
Instead, they were the ones being annihilated.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God, being the strongest, bore the brunt of the pressure.
The massive blood python, which had been thrashing wildly, immediately raised its head high upon seeing Shui Miao again. Its enormous crimson vertical pupils locked onto Shui Miao, its body coiled in a highly alert stance, ready to strike at any moment.
“Are you the Nine-Eyed Demon God?”
Shui Miao narrowed his eyes, coldly staring at the towering monster before him. Even the Nine-Eyed Demon God was struggling under the immense pressure of Shui Miao’s power.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s voice boomed like a giant bell, its sheer volume alone killing many of the weaker celestial and demonic soldiers. To think that someone who could harness the power of thirty-eight immortal emperor-level spirit weapons was no longer within the realm of human comprehension—this was the concept of a supreme sacred artifact, a force of unimaginable terror. Naturally, the weaker demon soldiers couldn’t withstand it.
“Kid, who exactly are you? Do you think you can stop us with just two artifacts?”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God, who also harbored over a dozen demon emperors within his body, roared furiously. Suddenly, he swung his massive dual hammers together, creating a flash of fire. The terrifying shockwave instantly injured a large number of celestial soldiers.
“Whoosh!”
The giant blood python seized the opportunity, suddenly opening its gaping maw and lunging at Shui Miao…
“Boom!”
Before it could reach Shui Miao, the python was repelled by an invisible defensive shield, sustaining some injuries in the process.
“Want to fight? Easy!”
With a thought from Shui Miao, the entire Hong Yu Chessboard activated. Thirty-six attack methods, led by the Purple Fortune Qi, were unleashed simultaneously. The sky was instantly filled with a kaleidoscope of radiant light. Hordes of demon soldiers were annihilated on the spot, while the celestial soldiers bathed in the light, their cultivation greatly enhanced. Those who had been injured by the shockwave were fully healed, and some who were at a bottleneck in their cultivation even broke through to higher realms.
This was absolute annihilation.
Tens of thousands of demon soldiers were wiped out. The giant blood python was severely injured in the powerful assault. It tried to flee, but its body wouldn’t obey, its mana boiling uncontrollably within. To make matters worse, the Nightmare Heart Technique continued to torment its mind, leaving it in a dazed state as it slowly succumbed to its demise.
For the giant blood python, if its master couldn’t save it, death was inevitable.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God wasn’t faring much better, his situation similar to that of the blood python.
The Void Annihilation Array was repeatedly activated, shattering the shields and artifacts of both the Nine-Eyed Demon God and the blood python.
“Boom!”
The blood python’s once-proudly raised head finally crashed heavily to the ground. After a few convulsions, its soul scattered, and it became a lifeless corpse.
Half of the formations within the Hong Yu Chessboard were killing arrays.
Each killing array, when activated, was devastatingly powerful.
But for the superpowers of the demon realm, the most terrifying was still the Purple Fortune Qi. The blood python had already been injured by the Purple Fortune Qi before, and now, with this additional blow, it was naturally unable to withstand the assault. Death was inevitable.
“Kid, who exactly are you? Are you… are you the disciple of Xuan Kong’er?”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God’s massive body trembled under the radiant light. He was constantly channeling demonic energy to resist the attacks, while the demon emperors within him desperately supplied him with mana to help him withstand Shui Miao.
“Haha, guess!”
Shui Miao suddenly laughed and summoned a newly forged sacred demonic artifact, directly unleashing it upon the Nine-Eyed Demon God.
“A sacred demonic artifact!!”
“How is this possible? How could you forge a sacred demonic artifact? Are you really Xuan Kong’er’s disciple?”
Feeling the suppression of the sacred demonic artifact, the Nine-Eyed Demon God panicked.
This was no ordinary sacred demonic artifact. It was forged by Shui Miao based on the Skeleton Demon Emperor’s artifact. Within it, Shui Miao had embedded the Death Withering Array. To forge this artifact, Shui Miao had expended all the toxic mist and blood rain he had collected. But now, the sacred demonic artifact was complete and ready for use.
“Boom!”
Shui Miao had no intention of engaging with the Nine-Eyed Demon God. With another fierce attack from the Hong Yu Chessboard, the demon emperors within the Nine-Eyed Demon God couldn’t withstand the assault and began vomiting blood, all severely injured.
With over a dozen demon emperors within him injured, the Nine-Eyed Demon God also began to falter, his body trembling violently.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God seemed to be waiting for Shui Miao’s response.
But Shui Miao had no intention of responding—his only thought was to annihilate the demon god completely.
“Hum!”
The Void Annihilation Array activated once more. After several attacks, the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s dual hammers were finally rendered useless, destroyed by the array.
However, the Nine-Eyed Demon God suddenly sneered, “Kid, is that all you’ve got? If you’re really Xuan Kong’er’s disciple, you should know what artifact I possess. To kill me, you’ll have to destroy this artifact first. Otherwise, you’ll never be able to kill me, not even in your next life. Once your energy is depleted, it will be my turn to counterattack and annihilate you.”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God wasn’t boasting without reason. He did indeed possess an extraordinary artifact.
This artifact was the second most powerful in the demon realm, known as the Void Escape Mirror. As the name suggested, it was a demonic mirror that allowed him to escape instantly.
He was willing to endure severe injuries just to verify whether Shui Miao was truly Xuan Kong’er’s disciple.
This information might seem trivial, but in reality, it was closely tied to the fate of the demon realm.
Originally, the demon realm had been suppressed by the celestial court, constantly constrained. It wasn’t until the emergence of Xuan Kong’er that the demon realm rose to power and successfully took control of the celestial court. However, Xuan Kong’er suddenly disappeared, and the remaining powerful figures of the celestial court went into hiding. The demon realm suddenly lost the means to continue its conquest of the celestial court.
But now, the Nine-Eyed Demon God had discovered Shui Miao and immediately suspected that he was Xuan Kong’er’s disciple.
Xuan Kong’er had vanished without a trace, and despite searching the entire demon realm, no one could find him. The possibility that he had infiltrated the three realms of ghosts and gods was highly plausible.
Therefore, the Nine-Eyed Demon God had to verify Shui Miao’s identity.
If Shui Miao was indeed Xuan Kong’er’s disciple, the demon realm would spare no effort to annihilate him, even if it meant destroying the three realms and turning the world upside down.
“Haha…”
Shui Miao suddenly laughed, “In that case, let’s wait until I’ve exhausted all my energy.”
It was time to use other killing moves!
Shui Miao appeared indifferent on the surface, but inwardly, he was on high alert.
From the memories of the Skeleton Demon Emperor, Shui Miao had learned much. Xuan Kong’er was a once-in-an-era genius. Although he had disappeared, he had left behind three super artifacts for the demon realm: the Substitute Mirror, the Void Escape Mirror, and the Ten Thousand Evils Gu. These three artifacts were mysterious and unpredictable, with unimaginable power, making them impossible to guard against.
What Shui Miao feared most was naturally the Ten Thousand Evils Gu, ranked first among the three.
As for the Nine-Eyed Demon God before him, Shui Miao was certain he possessed the Void Escape Mirror. The most powerful Ten Thousand Evils Gu was likely in the hands of the Demon Emperor Wu Yezi.
Though Shui Miao spoke casually, his actions were swift and decisive.
The Hong Yu Chessboard continued to unleash fierce attacks, relentlessly injuring the Nine-Eyed Demon God.
Secretly, Shui Miao also intensified the Nightmare Heart Technique, further confusing and dulling the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s mind, leaving him in a dazed and sluggish state.
“Fine! If you want to settle this with strength, then I’ll play along today!”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God suddenly shook his body, consuming a large number of demonic saint-level pills. The over a dozen demon emperors within him instantly recovered, their power doubling. The Nine-Eyed Demon God himself was also fully healed, his mana restored, and his demonic power increased by a full fold! Immediately after, a massive cloud of toxic mist and yin energy erupted from his body, like a dark cloud suddenly appearing in a clear sky, growing larger and larger.
The radiant light from the Hong Yu Chessboard was struggling to suppress it!
“Roar!”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God let out an earth-shaking roar, releasing tens of thousands of elite demon soldiers and numerous monsters from his spatial domain. He swung his arms, hurling the destroyed dual hammers at the defensive array and the main hall of the celestial commander’s camp. With two loud explosions, the defensive array was shattered, and the main hall was reduced to rubble.
The war drums fell silent, and the celestial soldiers under the commander’s leadership were thrown into chaos.
Immediately after, the Nine-Eyed Demon God summoned a pitch-black pagoda from his spatial domain, chanting incantations as the pagoda grew larger and larger, threatening to engulf Shui Miao.
“Nine-Eyed Demon God, you’ve got me today, but I, Shui Miao, will return to settle this score!” Shui Miao suddenly vanished, abandoning the Hong Yu Chessboard and fleeing at top speed.
Seeing this, the celestial commander was stunned, “What just happened? How could he just run away like that?”
“Shui Miao, wait for me!”
Shui Tianyi, seeing Shui Miao flee, immediately gave chase.
“Huh?”
“What’s going on with this kid? Did he run out of energy? He even abandoned the Hong Yu Chessboard, composed of supreme sacred artifacts!”
“This kid definitely isn’t Xuan Kong’er’s disciple. Xuan Kong’er would never flee, and he certainly wouldn’t have a disciple who runs away!”
Seeing Shui Miao abandon the Hong Yu Chessboard, the Nine-Eyed Demon God was both shocked and elated. He immediately seized the chessboard, attempting to subdue the spirits of the many sacred artifacts within and claim them for himself. However, he soon discovered that the Hong Yu Chessboard was empty—it was just a chessboard. All the sacred artifacts had been taken by Shui Miao!
“Brat, so this is all you’ve got! Haha…”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God immediately concluded that Shui Miao was at his wit’s end. Without bothering to refine the chessboard, he quickly moved it into his spatial domain and began pursuing Shui Miao relentlessly.
“Boom!”
Within three to five breaths, the supreme sacred artifact chessboard within the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s spatial domain suddenly self-destructed!
“Haha, he fell for it!”
With a thought, Shui Miao stopped his flight and turned to look at the Nine-Eyed Demon God, who had crashed to the ground. This time, he was doomed!
It seemed the Nine-Eyed Demon God was still waiting for a reply.
But Shui Miao had no intention of responding—only the desire to completely destroy him.
“Buzz!”
The Void Annihilation Formation was activated again. After several attacks, the twin hammers in the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s hands finally shattered into useless debris due to the damage.
Yet, the Nine-Eyed Demon God suddenly sneered, “Boy, is that all you’ve got? If you’re really Xuan Kong’er’s disciple, then you should know what treasures I possess. If you can’t destroy my treasure, you’ll never be able to kill me. Wait until your crystals run dry, and that’s when I’ll strike back and kill you.”
This wasn’t just empty boasting. The Nine-Eyed Demon God indeed possessed a powerful treasure.
In mid-air, Shui Miao stood atop the Hong Yu Chessboard, looking down upon the horde of demons with disdain. He summoned the full power of all the sacred artifacts and the might of thirty-eight immortal emperor-level spirit weapons, instantly halting the advance of all celestial and demonic soldiers. The weaker ones at the forefront were directly obliterated by the overwhelming pressure, their souls scattered and utterly annihilated.
They had come to the celestial realm expecting a massacre.
Instead, they were the ones being annihilated.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God, being the strongest, bore the brunt of the pressure.
The giant blood python, which had been thrashing wildly, immediately raised its head high upon seeing Shui Miao, its massive crimson vertical pupils fixed intently on him, adopting a highly alert stance, ready to strike at any moment.
“Are you the Nine-Eyed Demon God?” Shui Miao narrowed his eyes, coldly staring at the monstrous giant before him. Under the immense pressure from Shui Miao’s side, even the Nine-Eyed Demon God was struggling to hold his ground.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s voice boomed like a giant bell, its sheer volume alone killing many of the weaker celestial and demonic soldiers. It was no joke—someone who could harness the power of thirty-eight immortal emperor-level spirit weapons was far beyond the concept of a mere human; he was akin to a supreme sacred artifact. Such terrifying power was naturally unbearable for the weaker demon soldiers.
“Kid, who exactly are you? Do you think you can stop us with just two treasures?” The Nine-Eyed Demon God roared, his body housing over a dozen demon emperors. With a sudden shake, he swung his massive twin hammers together, creating a flash of fire. The terrifying shockwave instantly injured a large number of celestial soldiers.
“Whoosh!”
The giant blood python seized the opportunity, suddenly opening its gaping maw to bite down on Shui Miao…
“Bang!”
Before it could reach Shui Miao, the python was repelled by an invisible defensive shield, sustaining some injuries in the process.
“Want to fight? Easy!” Shui Miao’s mind stirred, and the entire Hong Yu Chessboard activated. Thirty-six attack methods, led by the Purple Fortune Qi, were unleashed simultaneously. The sky was instantly filled with a kaleidoscope of radiant light, annihilating vast numbers of demon soldiers. Meanwhile, the celestial soldiers bathed in the light, their cultivation greatly enhanced. Those who had been injured were fully healed, and many who were at a bottleneck in their cultivation broke through to higher realms.
This was absolute annihilation.
Hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers were wiped out. The giant blood python was severely injured in the powerful assault. It tried to flee but found itself immobilized, its internal magic boiling uncontrollably. To make matters worse, the Nightmare Heart Technique was clouding its mind, slowly leading it to its demise.
For the giant blood python, if its master did not come to its rescue, death was inevitable.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God was also suffering, his situation similar to that of the blood python.
The Void Annihilation Array was repeatedly activated, destroying the shields and some of the treasures on both the Nine-Eyed Demon God and the blood python.
“Thud!”
The blood python’s raised head finally crashed heavily to the ground. After a few convulsions, its soul dispersed, leaving behind a lifeless corpse.
Half of the arrays within the Hong Yu Chessboard were killing arrays.
Each killing array, when activated, was incredibly potent.
But for the superpowers of the demon realm, the most terrifying was the Purple Fortune Qi. The blood python had already been injured by it before, and now, with its wounds exacerbated, it was naturally unable to withstand the assault, leading to its inevitable death.
“Kid, who exactly are you? Are you the disciple of Xuan Kong’er?” The Nine-Eyed Demon God’s massive body trembled under the radiant light. He was continuously channeling demonic energy to resist the attacks, while the demon emperors within him were desperately supplying him with power to counter Shui Miao.
“Haha, guess!” Shui Miao suddenly laughed and summoned a newly forged sacred demonic artifact, directly unleashing it upon the Nine-Eyed Demon God.
“A sacred demonic artifact!!”
“How is this possible? How could you forge a sacred demonic artifact? Are you really Xuan Kong’er’s disciple?” Feeling the suppression from the sacred demonic artifact, the Nine-Eyed Demon God panicked.
This was no ordinary sacred demonic artifact. It was forged by Shui Miao based on the Skeleton Demon Emperor’s treasure, with a death and decay array embedded within it. To forge this artifact, Shui Miao had expended all the collected toxic fog and blood rain. But now, the artifact was complete and ready to be put to good use.
“Boom!”
Shui Miao had no intention of engaging with the Nine-Eyed Demon God. With another fierce attack from the Hong Yu Chessboard, the demon emperors within the Nine-Eyed Demon God could no longer withstand the pressure, vomiting blood and sustaining severe injuries.
With over a dozen demon emperors injured within him, the Nine-Eyed Demon God also began to falter, his body trembling violently.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God seemed to be waiting for Shui Miao’s response.
But Shui Miao had no intention of responding; his only thought was to annihilate him completely.
“Hum!”
The Void Annihilation Array was activated once more. After several attacks, the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s twin hammers were finally reduced to scrap by the array’s damage.
However, the Nine-Eyed Demon God suddenly sneered, “Kid, is this all you’ve got? If you’re Xuan Kong’er’s disciple, you should know what treasure I possess. To kill me, you must first destroy this treasure. Otherwise, you’ll never be able to kill me, not even in your next life. Once your crystals are depleted, it will be my turn to counterattack and annihilate you.”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God’s words were not mere bravado. He indeed possessed an exceptional treasure.
This treasure was the second most powerful artifact in the demon realm, known as the Void Escape Mirror. As the name suggests, it was a demonic mirror that allowed him to instantly escape.
He was willing to endure severe injuries just to verify whether Shui Miao was truly Xuan Kong’er’s disciple.
This information seemed trivial, but in reality, it was closely tied to the fate of the demon realm.
Originally, the demon realm was suppressed by the celestial court, constantly under control. It was only with the emergence of Xuan Kong’er that the demon realm rose to power and successfully took control of the celestial court.

Shui Miao appeared nonchalant on the surface, but internally, he was immediately on guard.
From the memories of the Skeleton Demon Emperor, Shui Miao had learned much. Xuan Kong’er was a genius of the ages. Although he had disappeared, he left behind three super artifacts for the demon realm: the Substitute Mirror, the Void Escape Mirror, and the Ten Thousand Evils Gu. These three super artifacts were mysterious and unpredictable, making them difficult to defend against.
What Shui Miao feared most was naturally the Ten Thousand Evils Gu, ranked first.
As for the Nine-Eyed Demon God before him, Shui Miao was certain he possessed the Void Escape Mirror. The most powerful Ten Thousand Evils Gu was likely in the hands of the Demon Emperor Wu Yezi.
Though Shui Miao spoke lightly, his actions were swift and decisive.
The Hong Yu Chessboard continued to attack fiercely, repeatedly injuring the Nine-Eyed Demon God.
Secretly, Shui Miao intensified the Nightmare Heart Technique, clouding the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s mind, making him sluggish and slow to react.
“Fine! If you want to settle this with strength, then I’ll play with you today!” The Nine-Eyed Demon God suddenly shook his body, consuming a large number of demonic saint-level elixirs. The dozen or so demon emperors within him instantly recovered, their power doubling. He himself was also healed, his magic power fully restored and even doubled! Immediately after, a massive cloud of toxic fog and yin evil energy erupted from his body, like a dark cloud suddenly appearing in a clear sky, growing larger and larger.

Immediately after, the Nine-Eyed Demon God summoned a pitch-black pagoda from his spatial realm, chanting incantations. The pagoda grew larger and larger, threatening to engulf Shui Miao.
“Nine-Eyed Demon God, today you win. But I, Shui Miao, will return to settle this score!” Shui Miao suddenly vanished, abandoning the Hong Yu Chessboard and fleeing at top speed.
Seeing this, the celestial commander was stunned, “What just happened? How could he just run away like that?”
“Shui Miao, wait for me!”
Shui Tianyi, seeing Shui Miao flee, immediately gave chase.
“Huh?”
“What’s going on with this kid? Did he run out of crystals? How could he abandon the Hong Yu Chessboard, composed of supreme sacred artifacts?”
“This kid can’t be Xuan Kong’er’s disciple. Xuan Kong’er would never flee, nor would he have a disciple who runs away!”
Seeing Shui Miao abandon the Hong Yu Chessboard, the Nine-Eyed Demon God was shaken. He immediately seized the chessboard, attempting to subdue the many spirit weapons within it and claim them for himself. But soon, he discovered that the Hong Yu Chessboard was empty—it was just a chessboard. All the sacred artifacts had been taken by Shui Miao!
“Brat, so this is all you’ve got! Haha…”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God immediately concluded that Shui Miao was cornered. Without bothering to refine the chessboard, he quickly moved it into his spatial realm and pursued Shui Miao relentlessly.
“Boom!”
Within a few breaths, the supreme sacred artifact chessboard within the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s spatial realm suddenly self-destructed!
“Haha, he fell for it!”
Shui Miao’s mind stirred, and he immediately stopped fleeing, turning back to look at the Nine-Eyed Demon God, who had crashed to the ground. This time, he was doomed!
He was willing to endure severe injuries just to confirm one thing—whether Shui Miao was truly Xuan Kong’er’s disciple.
In mid-air, Shui Miao stood atop the Hongyu Chessboard, looking down upon the horde of demons. He fully activated the power of all the sacred artifacts and the thirty-eight immortal emperor-level spirit weapons, instantly suppressing all the celestial and demonic soldiers, preventing them from advancing even half a step. The weaker soldiers at the forefront were directly annihilated by the overwhelming pressure, their souls scattered and utterly destroyed.
They had thought this invasion of the celestial realm would be a massacre.
Instead, they were the ones being annihilated.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God, the strongest among them, bore the brunt of the pressure.
The giant blood python, which had been thrashing wildly, immediately raised its head high upon seeing Shui Miao, its massive crimson vertical pupils fixed on him, its posture highly alert and ready to attack at any moment.

Tens of thousands of demonic soldiers were wiped out, and the giant blood python was severely injured in the powerful attack. It tried to flee, but it was immobilized, its internal magic boiling uncontrollably. To make matters worse, the Nightmare Heart Technique was still tormenting its mind, causing it to slowly succumb to annihilation in a dazed state.
For the giant blood python, if its master could not save it, death was the only outcome.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God was also suffering, his situation similar to that of the blood python.
The Void Annihilation Array was repeatedly activated, destroying the shields and some of the artifacts on the Nine-Eyed Demon God and the blood python.
“Boom!”
The blood python’s high-raised head finally crashed heavily to the ground. After a few convulsions, its soul scattered, and it became a lifeless snake.
Within the Hongyu Chessboard, half of the arrays were killing arrays.
Each killing array, when activated, was incredibly powerful.
But for the superpowers of the demon realm, the most terrifying was the purple aura. The blood python had already been injured by the purple aura before, and now, with this additional blow, it was naturally unable to withstand it. Death was inevitable.
“Kid, who exactly are you? Are you… are you Xuankong’er’s disciple?” The Nine-Eyed Demon God’s massive body trembled under the radiant light.

The Nine-Eyed Demon God, being the strongest, bore the brunt of the pressure.
The once ferocious giant blood python, upon seeing Shui Miao again, immediately raised its head in alarm, its massive crimson vertical pupils fixed intently on him, adopting a highly vigilant stance, ready to strike at any moment.
“So, you are the Nine-Eyed Demon God?” Shui Miao narrowed his eyes, coldly observing the monstrous giant before him. Under the immense pressure of Shui Miao’s aura, even the Nine-Eyed Demon God was struggling to hold his ground.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s voice boomed like a great bell, its sheer volume alone causing the weaker celestial and demonic soldiers to perish instantly. It was no joke—a person who could harness the power of thirty-eight immortal emperor-level spirit weapons was far beyond the concept of a mere human; he was akin to a supreme sacred artifact. Such terrifying power was naturally unbearable for the weaker demon soldiers.
“Boy, who exactly are you? Do you think you can stop us with just two treasures?” The Nine-Eyed Demon God, who also harbored over a dozen demon emperors within him, roared incessantly. Suddenly, he swung his massive dual hammers together, creating a flash of fire. The terrifying shockwave immediately injured a large number of celestial soldiers.
“Whoosh!”
Seizing the opportunity, the giant blood python suddenly opened its gaping maw and lunged at Shui Miao…
“Bang!”
Before it could bite Shui Miao, the python was repelled by an invisible defensive shield, sustaining some injuries in the process.
“Want to fight? Easy!” With a thought from Shui Miao, the entire Hongyu Chessboard activated. Led by the purple aura, thirty-six different attack methods were unleashed simultaneously, filling the sky with a kaleidoscope of radiant light. Vast numbers of demon soldiers were instantly annihilated, while the celestial soldiers bathed in the light, their cultivation greatly enhanced. Those who had been injured by the shockwave were fully healed, and some who were at a bottleneck in their cultivation even broke through to higher realms.
This was absolute annihilation.
Hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers were wiped out, and the giant blood python was severely injured in the powerful assault. It tried to flee, but found itself immobilized, its internal energy boiling uncontrollably. To make matters worse, the Dream Demon’s technique was still clouding its mind, causing it to slowly succumb to its demise in a dazed state.
For the giant blood python, if its master could not save it, death was inevitable.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God was also suffering, his situation similar to that of the blood python.
The Void Annihilation Array was repeatedly activated, destroying the protective shields and some of the treasures on both the Nine-Eyed Demon God and the giant blood python.
“Thud!”
The blood python’s once proudly raised head finally crashed heavily to the ground. After a few convulsions, its soul dispersed, leaving behind a lifeless serpent.
Within the Hongyu Chessboard, half of the arrays were designed for killing.
Each killing array, when activated, was incredibly potent.
But for the superpowers of the demon realm, the most formidable was the purple aura. The blood python had already been injured by the purple aura before, and now, with its wounds exacerbated, it was naturally unable to withstand the assault, leading to its inevitable death.
“Boy, who exactly are you? Are you… are you the disciple of Xuan Kong’er?” The Nine-Eyed Demon God’s massive body trembled under the radiant light. He was continuously channeling demonic energy to resist the light’s assault, while the demon emperors within him were desperately supplying him with power to counter Shui Miao.
“Haha, guess!” Shui Miao suddenly laughed and summoned a newly forged sacred demonic artifact, directly unleashing it upon the Nine-Eyed Demon God.
“A sacred demonic artifact!!”
“How is this possible? How could you forge a sacred demonic artifact? Are you truly the disciple of Xuan Kong’er?”
Feeling the suppression of the sacred demonic artifact, the Nine-Eyed Demon God panicked.
This was no ordinary sacred demonic artifact. It was forged by Shui Miao based on the Skeleton Demon Emperor’s treasure, and within it, Shui Miao had embedded a death and decay array. To forge this artifact, Shui Miao had expended all the toxic mist and bloody rain he had collected. But now, the artifact was complete and ready to be put to good use.
“Boom!”
Shui Miao had no intention of engaging with the Nine-Eyed Demon God. With another fierce attack from the Hongyu Chessboard, the demon emperors within the Nine-Eyed Demon God could no longer withstand the assault, vomiting blood and sustaining severe injuries.
With over a dozen demon emperors within him injured, the Nine-Eyed Demon God himself began to tremble violently.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God seemed to be waiting for Shui Miao’s response.
But Shui Miao had no intention of responding; his only thought was to annihilate the demon god completely.
“Hum!”
The Void Annihilation Array was activated once more. After several attacks, the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s dual hammers were finally rendered useless, destroyed by the array.
However, the Nine-Eyed Demon God suddenly sneered, “Boy, is this all you’ve got? If you are indeed the disciple of Xuan Kong’er, you should know what treasure I possess. To kill me, you must first destroy this treasure of mine. Otherwise, you’ll never be able to kill me, not even in your next life. Once your energy is depleted, it will be my turn to strike and annihilate you.”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God’s words were not mere bravado. He indeed possessed an exceptional treasure.
This treasure was the second most powerful artifact in the demon realm, known as the Void Escape Mirror. As the name suggests, it was a demonic mirror that allowed him to escape instantly.
He was willing to endure severe injuries just to verify whether Shui Miao was truly the disciple of Xuan Kong’er.
This information might seem trivial, but in reality, it was intricately linked to the fate of the demon realm.
Originally, the demon realm was suppressed by the celestial court, constantly constrained. It was only with the emergence of Xuan Kong’er that the demon realm rose to power and successfully controlled the celestial court. However, Xuan Kong’er suddenly disappeared, and the remaining powerful beings of the celestial court went into hiding, leaving the demon realm without the means to continue its conquest.
But now, the Nine-Eyed Demon God had discovered Shui Miao and directly suspected him of being Xuan Kong’er’s disciple.
Xuan Kong’er had vanished without a trace, and despite searching the entire demon realm, no one could find him. The possibility that he had infiltrated the three realms of ghosts and deities was highly plausible.
Therefore, the Nine-Eyed Demon God had to verify Shui Miao’s identity.
If Shui Miao was indeed Xuan Kong’er’s disciple, the demon realm would spare no effort to annihilate him, even if it meant destroying the three realms and turning the heavens and earth upside down.
“Haha…” Shui Miao suddenly laughed, “In that case, let’s wait until I’ve exhausted all my energy.”
It was time to employ other killing moves!
Shui Miao appeared indifferent on the surface, but he was immediately on high alert internally.
From the memories of the Skeleton Demon Emperor, Shui Miao had gleaned much information. Xuan Kong’er was a genius of the ages. Although he had disappeared, he had left behind three super artifacts for the demon realm: the Substitute Mirror, the Void Escape Mirror, and the Myriad Evils Gu. These three super artifacts were mysterious and unpredictable, their power impossible to guard against.
What Shui Miao feared and dreaded the most was naturally the Myriad Evils Gu, ranked first among the three.
As for the Nine-Eyed Demon God before him, Shui Miao was certain he possessed the Void Escape Mirror. The most formidable Myriad Evils Gu was likely in the hands of the Demon Emperor Wu Yezi.
Shui Miao spoke casually, but his actions were swift and decisive.
The Hongyu Chessboard continued to be fiercely activated, relentlessly injuring the Nine-Eyed Demon God.
Secretly, Shui Miao also intensified the activation of the Dream Demon’s technique, further clouding the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s mind, making him sluggish and slow to react.
“Fine! Since you want to settle this with strength, I’ll play with you today!” The Nine-Eyed Demon God suddenly shook his body, consuming a large number of demonic saint-level elixirs. The over a dozen demon emperors within him instantly recovered, their power doubled. He himself was fully healed, his magic power increased by a full fold! Immediately after, a vast amount of toxic mist and yin evil energy erupted from the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s body, like a dark cloud suddenly appearing in a clear sky, growing larger and larger.
The radiant light from the Hongyu Chessboard was struggling to suppress it!
“Roar!”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God let out an extremely terrifying roar, releasing tens of thousands of elite demon soldiers and numerous monsters from his spatial realm. He swung his arms, hurling the destroyed dual hammers at the defensive array and the main hall of the celestial commander’s camp. With two loud explosions, the defensive array was shattered, and the main hall was reduced to rubble.
The war drums ceased, and the celestial soldiers were thrown into chaos.
Immediately after, the Nine-Eyed Demon God summoned a pitch-black pagoda from his spatial realm, chanting incantations. The pagoda grew larger and larger, threatening to engulf Shui Miao.
“Nine-Eyed Demon God, today you’ve won. But I, Shui Miao, will return to settle this score!” Shui Miao suddenly vanished, abandoning the Hongyu Chessboard and fleeing at top speed.
Seeing this, the celestial commander was stunned, “What just happened? How could he just run away like that?”
“Shui Miao, wait for me!”
Shui Tianyi, seeing Shui Miao flee, immediately gave chase.
“Huh?”
“What’s going on with this kid? Did he run out of energy? He even abandoned the Hongyu Chessboard, composed of supreme sacred artifacts!”
“This kid definitely isn’t Xuan Kong’er’s disciple. Xuan Kong’er would never flee, nor would he have a disciple who runs away!”
Seeing Shui Miao abandon the Hongyu Chessboard, the Nine-Eyed Demon God was shaken. He immediately seized the chessboard, attempting to subdue the spirits of the many sacred artifacts within and claim them for himself. But then he discovered that the Hongyu Chessboard was empty—it was just a chessboard. All the sacred artifacts had been taken by Shui Miao!
“Brat, so this is all you’ve got! Haha…”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God immediately concluded that Shui Miao was at his wit’s end. Without bothering to refine the chessboard, he quickly moved it into his spatial realm and pursued Shui Miao relentlessly.
“Boom!”
Within three to five breaths, the supreme sacred artifact chessboard within the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s spatial realm suddenly self-destructed!
“Haha, he fell for it!”
With a thought, Shui Miao stopped his flight and turned back to look at the Nine-Eyed Demon God, who had crashed to the ground. This time, he was doomed!
Now, the Nine-Eyed Demon God had encountered Shui Miao and strongly suspected he was Xuan Kong’er’s disciple.
In mid-air, Shui Miao stood atop the Hongyu Chessboard, looking down upon the horde of demons. He exerted all his might, activating the power of all the sacred artifacts and the thirty-eight immortal emperor-level spirit tools. The overwhelming pressure instantly halted the advance of all the celestial and demonic soldiers. Those weaker soldiers at the forefront were directly annihilated by the sheer force, their souls scattered and utterly destroyed.
They had come to the celestial realm expecting a massacre.
Instead, they found themselves being utterly annihilated.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God, being the strongest, bore the brunt of the pressure.
The once ferocious giant blood serpent, upon seeing Shui Miao again, immediately raised its head high in alertness. Its massive, crimson vertical pupils locked onto Shui Miao, adopting a highly vigilant stance, ready to attack at any moment.
“Are you the Nine-Eyed Demon God?” Shui Miao squinted his eyes, coldly staring at the monstrous giant before him. Under the immense pressure from Shui Miao’s side, even the Nine-Eyed Demon God was struggling to withstand it.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s voice boomed like a great bell, and the sheer sound of it killed many of the weaker celestial and demonic soldiers. To think, someone who could harness the power of thirty-eight immortal emperor-level spirit tools was no longer just a person but a concept of an ultimate sacred artifact. Such terrifying power was naturally unbearable for the weaker demon soldiers.
“Kid, who exactly are you? Do you think you can stop us with just two treasures?” The Nine-Eyed Demon God, who also harbored over a dozen demon emperors within him, roared incessantly. Suddenly, he swung his massive dual hammers together, creating a flash of fire. The terrifying shockwave instantly injured a large number of celestial soldiers.
“Whoosh!”
The giant blood serpent, seizing the opportunity, suddenly opened its massive maw and lunged at Shui Miao…
“Bang!”
Before the serpent could bite Shui Miao, it was repelled by an invisible shield, sustaining some injuries in the process.
“Want to fight? Easy!”
With a thought from Shui Miao, the entire Hongyu Chessboard activated. Thirty-six attack methods, led by the Purple Fortune Qi, were unleashed simultaneously. The sky was instantly filled with a kaleidoscope of radiant light. Large swathes of demonic soldiers were annihilated instantly, while the celestial soldiers bathed in the light, their cultivation greatly enhanced. Those who had been injured earlier were fully healed, and some who were at a bottleneck in their cultivation broke through, advancing their power.
This was an absolute massacre.
Tens of thousands of demonic soldiers were annihilated, and the giant blood serpent was severely injured in the powerful attack. It tried to flee but found itself immobilized. Its internal magic was in turmoil, uncontrollable, and to make matters worse, the Nightmare Heart Technique was clouding its mind, causing it to slowly succumb to destruction in a daze.
For the giant blood serpent, if its master could not save it, death was inevitable.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God was also suffering, its situation similar to that of the giant blood serpent.
The Void Destruction Array was continuously activated, further damaging the shields and some of the treasures on the Nine-Eyed Demon God and the giant blood serpent.
“Boom!”
The giant blood serpent’s high-raised head finally crashed heavily to the ground. After a few convulsions, its soul dispersed, leaving behind a lifeless serpent.
Within the Hongyu Chessboard, half of the arrays were killing arrays.
Each killing array, when activated, was incredibly powerful.
But for the superpowers of the demon realm, the most terrifying was the Purple Fortune Qi. The blood serpent had already been injured by the Purple Fortune Qi before, and now, with the additional damage, it was naturally unable to withstand it, leading to its inevitable death.
“Kid, who exactly are you? Are you the disciple of Xuankong’er?” The Nine-Eyed Demon God’s massive body trembled under the radiant light. He was constantly channeling demonic energy to resist the light’s attack, and the demon emperors within him were desperately supplying him with power to withstand Shui Miao.
“Haha, guess!” Shui Miao suddenly laughed and summoned a newly forged sacred demonic artifact, directly unleashing it upon the Nine-Eyed Demon God.

But Shui Miao had no intention of responding; his only thought was to utterly annihilate the demon.

Originally, the demon realm was suppressed by the celestial court, constantly under control. It was only with the emergence of Xuankong’er that the demon realm rose to power and successfully took control of the celestial court. However, Xuankong’er suddenly disappeared, and the remaining powerful figures of the celestial court went into hiding. The demon realm suddenly lost the means to continue its conquest of the celestial court.
But now, the Nine-Eyed Demon God had discovered Shui Miao and directly suspected him of being Xuankong’er’s disciple.
Xuankong’er had vanished without a trace, and despite searching the entire demon realm, no one could find him. The possibility that he had infiltrated the three realms of ghosts and gods was highly likely.

As for the Nine-Eyed Demon God before him, Shui Miao was certain he possessed the Void Escape Mirror. The most powerful Ten Thousand Evils Gu was likely in the hands of the Demon Emperor Wuyezi.
Though Shui Miao spoke lightly, his actions showed no hesitation.
The Hongyu Chessboard continued to be fiercely activated, relentlessly injuring the Nine-Eyed Demon God.
Secretly, Shui Miao also intensified the activation of the Nightmare Heart Technique, clouding and confusing the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s thoughts, making him sluggish and slow to react.
“Fine! Since you want to settle this with strength, I’ll play with you today!”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God suddenly shook his body, consuming a large number of demonic saint-level pills. The over a dozen demon emperors within him instantly recovered, their power doubling.

Immediately, the Nine-Eyed Demon God summoned a pitch-black pagoda from his spatial realm, chanting incantations. The pagoda grew larger and larger, threatening to engulf Shui Miao.

“Boom!”
Within three to five breaths, the ultimate sacred artifact chessboard within the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s spatial realm suddenly self-destructed!
“Haha, he fell for it!”
Shui Miao’s heart stirred, and he immediately stopped fleeing, turning back to look at the Nine-Eyed Demon God, who had crashed to the ground. This time, he was doomed!
Therefore, the Nine-Eyed Demon God had to verify Shui Miao’s identity.
In mid-air, Shui Miao stood atop the Hongyu Chessboard, looking down upon the horde of demons. He fully activated the power of all the sacred artifacts and the thirty-eight immortal emperor-level spirit weapons, instantly suppressing all the celestial and demon soldiers, preventing them from advancing even half a step. The weaker soldiers at the forefront were directly dispersed by the overwhelming pressure, their souls obliterated in an instant.
They had come to the celestial realm expecting a massacre.
Instead, they were the ones being annihilated.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God, being the strongest, bore the brunt of the pressure.
The giant blood python, which had been thrashing wildly, immediately raised its head high upon seeing Shui Miao, its massive crimson vertical pupils locked onto him, poised to attack at any moment.
“Are you the Nine-Eyed Demon God?”
Shui Miao narrowed his eyes, coldly staring at the monstrous giant before him. Under the immense pressure of Shui Miao’s power, even the Nine-Eyed Demon God was struggling to hold his ground.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s voice boomed like a great bell, its resonance alone killing many of the weaker celestial and demon soldiers.

“Kid, who exactly are you? Do you think you can stop us with just two treasures?”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God, who also harbored over a dozen demon emperors within him, roared furiously. Suddenly, he swung his massive hammers together, creating a flash of fire and a terrifying shockwave that injured a large number of celestial soldiers.
“Whoosh!”
The giant blood python seized the opportunity, opening its gaping maw to bite down on Shui Miao…
“Bang!”
Before it could reach Shui Miao, the python was repelled by an invisible shield, sustaining some injuries in the process.
“Want to fight? Easy!”
With a thought from Shui Miao, the entire Hongyu Chessboard activated, unleashing thirty-six different attack methods led by the Purple Fortune Qi. The sky was instantly filled with a dazzling array of colors, and vast numbers of demon soldiers were annihilated in an instant. Meanwhile, the celestial soldiers bathed in the radiant light, their cultivation greatly enhanced. Those who had been injured were fully healed, and many who were at a bottleneck in their cultivation broke through to new levels.
This was absolute annihilation.
Hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers were wiped out, and the giant blood python was severely injured in the powerful assault. It tried to flee, but its body was immobilized, its magic boiling uncontrollably within it. To make matters worse, the Nightmare Heart Technique was clouding its mind, slowly leading it to its demise.
For the giant blood python, if its master did not come to its rescue, death was inevitable.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God was also suffering, his situation similar to that of the python.
The Void Annihilation Array was repeatedly activated, destroying the shields and some of the treasures on both the Nine-Eyed Demon God and the giant blood python.
“Thud!”
The python’s raised head finally slammed heavily to the ground, twitching a few times before its soul dispersed, leaving behind a lifeless corpse.
Half of the formations within the Hongyu Chessboard were killing arrays.
Each killing array, when activated, was incredibly powerful.
But for the superpowers of the demon realm, the most formidable was the Purple Fortune Qi. The blood python had already been injured by the Purple Fortune Qi before, and now, with its wounds exacerbated, it was naturally unable to withstand the assault, leading to its inevitable death.
“Kid, who exactly are you? Are you the disciple of Xuankong’er?”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God’s massive body trembled under the radiant light as he continuously channeled demonic energy to resist the attacks. The demon emperors within him were also desperately supplying him with power to help him withstand Shui Miao.
“Haha, guess!”
Shui Miao suddenly laughed and summoned a newly forged sacred demon artifact, directly unleashing it upon the Nine-Eyed Demon God.
“A sacred demon artifact!!”
“How is this possible? How could you forge a sacred demon artifact? Are you really Xuankong’er’s disciple?”
Feeling the suppression of the sacred demon artifact, the Nine-Eyed Demon God panicked.
This was no ordinary sacred demon artifact; it was forged by Shui Miao based on the Skeleton Demon Emperor’s treasure. Within it, Shui Miao had embedded a Death and Decay formation, and to create this artifact, he had expended all the collected toxic mist and blood rain. But now, the sacred demon artifact was complete and ready to be put to good use.
“Boom!”
Shui Miao had no intention of engaging with the Nine-Eyed Demon God. With another fierce attack from the Hongyu Chessboard, the demon emperors within the Nine-Eyed Demon God could no longer endure, all of them vomiting blood and suffering severe injuries.
With over a dozen demon emperors within him injured, the Nine-Eyed Demon God himself could no longer hold on, his body trembling violently.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God seemed to be waiting for Shui Miao’s response.
But Shui Miao had no intention of responding; his only thought was to annihilate the demon god completely.
“Hum!”
The Void Annihilation Array activated once more, and after several attacks, the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s hammers finally turned to scrap due to the formation’s damage.
However, the Nine-Eyed Demon God suddenly sneered, “Kid, is this all you’ve got? If you’re Xuankong’er’s disciple, you should know what treasure I possess. To kill me, you’ll have to break this treasure of mine. Otherwise, you’ll never be able to kill me, not even in your next life. Once your crystals are exhausted, it will be my turn to counterattack and kill you.”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God was not boasting; he indeed possessed an extraordinary treasure.

He himself was also healed, his magic restored, and his demonic power increased by a full fold! Immediately after, a massive cloud of toxic mist and yin energy erupted from his body, like a dark cloud suddenly appearing in a clear sky, growing larger and larger.
The radiant light from the Hongyu Chessboard was struggling to suppress it!
“Roar!”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God let out an earth-shaking roar, releasing tens of thousands of elite demon soldiers and numerous monsters from his spatial realm. He swung his arms, hurling the destroyed hammers at the defensive formations and the main hall of the celestial commander’s camp. Two loud explosions later, the defensive formations were shattered, and the main hall was reduced to rubble.
The war drums fell silent, and the celestial soldiers under the commander’s command were thrown into chaos.
Immediately after, the Nine-Eyed Demon God summoned a pitch-black pagoda from his spatial realm, chanting incantations as the pagoda grew larger and larger, threatening to engulf Shui Miao.
“Nine-Eyed Demon God, today you’ve got the upper hand, but I, Shui Miao, will return to settle the score with you!” Shui Miao suddenly vanished, abandoning the Hongyu Chessboard and fleeing at top speed.
Seeing this, the celestial commander was stunned, “What just happened? How could he just run away like that?”
“Shui Miao, wait for me!”
Shui Tianyi, seeing Shui Miao flee, immediately gave chase.
“Huh?”
“What’s going on with this kid? Did he run out of crystals? How could he just abandon the Hongyu Chessboard, composed of supreme sacred artifacts?”

“Hahaha…”
Shui Miao suddenly laughed, “Then let’s wait until I run out of all my crystals.”
It was time to unleash other deadly techniques!
Though Shui Miao appeared indifferent on the surface, inwardly he became highly alert.
In mid-air, Shui Miao stood atop the Hong Yu Chessboard, disdainfully overlooking the horde of demons. He fully activated the power of all the sacred artifacts and the thirty-eight immortal emperor-level spirit weapons, instantly suppressing all the celestial and demon soldiers, preventing them from advancing even half a step. The weaker soldiers at the forefront were directly overwhelmed by the pressure, their souls scattered, and they perished instantly.
They had thought this invasion of the celestial realm would be a massacre.
Instead, they were the ones who were utterly annihilated.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God, being the strongest, bore the brunt of the pressure.
The giant blood python, which had been menacingly thrashing about, immediately raised its head high upon seeing Shui Miao again. Its massive, blood-red vertical pupils locked onto Shui Miao, adopting a highly alert posture, ready to attack at any moment.
“Are you the Nine-Eyed Demon God?”
Shui Miao narrowed his eyes, coldly staring at the monstrous giant before him. Under the immense pressure of his aura, even the Nine-Eyed Demon God was struggling to hold on.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s voice boomed like a great bell, and the sheer sound of it killed many of the weaker celestial and demon soldiers. It was no joke—someone who could harness the power of thirty-eight immortal emperor-level spirit weapons was far beyond the concept of a mere human. He was akin to a supreme sacred artifact, wielding a terrifying force that the weaker demon soldiers could not withstand.
“Kid, who exactly are you? Do you think you can stop us with just two treasures?”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God, who also harbored over a dozen demon emperors within him, roared incessantly. Suddenly, he swung his massive dual hammers together, and a flash of fire erupted. The terrifying shockwave instantly injured a large number of celestial soldiers.
“Whoosh!”
The giant blood python seized the opportunity, suddenly opening its gaping maw and lunging at Shui Miao…
“Boom!”
Before the python could bite Shui Miao, it was repelled by an invisible defensive shield, sustaining some injuries in the process.
“Want to fight? Easy!”
With a thought from Shui Miao, the entire Hong Yu Chessboard activated. Thirty-six attack methods, led by the Purple Fate Energy, were unleashed simultaneously. The sky was instantly filled with a dazzling array of colorful lights. Large swathes of demon soldiers were annihilated in an instant, while the celestial soldiers bathed in the radiant light, their cultivation greatly enhanced. Those who had been injured by the shockwave were fully healed, and some who were at a bottleneck in their cultivation even broke through to higher realms.
This was absolute annihilation.
Tens of thousands of demon soldiers were wiped out. The giant blood python was severely injured by the powerful attacks. It tried to flee, but it was immobilized. Its internal energy was in turmoil, completely out of control. To make matters worse, the Nightmare Heart Technique was clouding its mind, causing it to slowly succumb to its demise in a dazed state.
For the giant blood python, if its master did not come to its rescue, death was inevitable.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God was also suffering, his situation similar to that of the giant blood python.
The Void Annihilation Array was repeatedly activated, destroying the protective shields and some of the treasures on both the Nine-Eyed Demon God and the giant blood python.
“Thud!”
The giant blood python’s raised head finally crashed heavily to the ground. After a few convulsions, its soul dispersed, and it became a lifeless corpse.
Within the Hong Yu Chessboard, half of the arrays were killing arrays.
Each killing array, when activated, was incredibly potent.
But for the superpowers of the demon realm, the most formidable was the Purple Fate Energy. The blood python had already been injured by the Purple Fate Energy, and now, with its wounds exacerbated, it could not withstand the assault. Death was inevitable.
“Kid, who exactly are you? Are you… are you the disciple of Xuan Kong’er?”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God’s massive body trembled under the radiant light. He was continuously channeling demonic energy to resist the attacks, while the demon emperors within him were desperately supplying him with power to withstand Shui Miao.
“Haha, guess!”
Shui Miao suddenly laughed and summoned a newly forged sacred demonic artifact, directly unleashing it upon the Nine-Eyed Demon God.
“A sacred demonic artifact!!”
“How is this possible? How could you forge a sacred demonic artifact? Are you really Xuan Kong’er’s disciple?”
Feeling the suppression of the sacred demonic artifact, the Nine-Eyed Demon God panicked.
This was no ordinary sacred demonic artifact. It was forged by Shui Miao based on the Skeleton Demon Emperor’s treasure. Within it, Shui Miao had embedded the Death Withering Array. To forge this artifact, Shui Miao had expended all the toxic mist and bloody rain he had collected. But now, the sacred demonic artifact was complete and ready to be put to good use.
“Boom!”
Shui Miao had no intention of engaging with the Nine-Eyed Demon God. With another fierce attack from the Hong Yu Chessboard, the demon emperors within the Nine-Eyed Demon God could no longer endure. They all vomited blood, severely injured.
With over a dozen demon emperors within him injured, the Nine-Eyed Demon God himself could no longer hold on. His body trembled violently.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God seemed to be waiting for Shui Miao’s response.
But Shui Miao had no intention of responding. His only thought was to annihilate the demon god completely.
“Hum!”
The Void Annihilation Array was activated once more. After several attacks, the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s dual hammers were finally rendered useless, destroyed by the array.
However, the Nine-Eyed Demon God suddenly sneered, “Kid, is this all you’ve got? If you’re Xuan Kong’er’s disciple, you should know what treasure I possess. To kill me, you must first destroy this treasure. Otherwise, you’ll never be able to kill me, not even in your next life. Once your energy is depleted, it will be my turn to counterattack and annihilate you.”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God’s words were not baseless boasting. He indeed possessed an extraordinary treasure.
This treasure was the second most powerful artifact in the demon realm, known as the Void Escape Mirror. As the name suggests, it was a demonic mirror that allowed him to escape instantly.
He was willing to endure severe injuries just to verify whether Shui Miao was truly Xuan Kong’er’s disciple.
This information seemed trivial, but in reality, it was closely tied to the fate of the demon realm.
Originally, the demon realm had been suppressed by the celestial court, constantly constrained. It was only with the emergence of Xuan Kong’er that the demon realm rose to power and successfully gained control over the celestial court. However, Xuan Kong’er suddenly disappeared, and the remaining powerful figures of the celestial court went into hiding. The demon realm lost its momentum to continue its conquest of the celestial court.
But now, the Nine-Eyed Demon God had discovered Shui Miao and immediately suspected that he was Xuan Kong’er’s disciple.
Xuan Kong’er had vanished without a trace, and despite searching the entire demon realm, no one could find him. The possibility that he had infiltrated the three realms of ghosts and gods was highly plausible.
Therefore, the Nine-Eyed Demon God had to verify Shui Miao’s identity.
If Shui Miao was indeed Xuan Kong’er’s disciple, the demon realm would spare no effort to annihilate him, even if it meant destroying the three realms and turning the world upside down.
“Haha…”
Shui Miao suddenly laughed, “In that case, let’s wait until I’ve exhausted all my energy.”
It was time to use other killing moves!
Shui Miao appeared indifferent on the surface, but he was immediately on guard.
From the memories of the Skeleton Demon Emperor, Shui Miao had learned much. Xuan Kong’er was a genius of the ages. Although he had disappeared, he had left three super artifacts for the demon realm: the Substitute Mirror, the Void Escape Mirror, and the Ten Thousand Evils Gu. These three super artifacts were mysterious and unpredictable, making them nearly impossible to defend against.
What Shui Miao feared most was naturally the Ten Thousand Evils Gu, ranked first among the three.
As for the Nine-Eyed Demon God before him, Shui Miao was certain he possessed the Void Escape Mirror. The most powerful Ten Thousand Evils Gu was likely in the hands of the Demon Emperor Wu Yezi.
Though Shui Miao spoke casually, his actions were swift and decisive.
The Hong Yu Chessboard continued to unleash fierce attacks, repeatedly injuring the Nine-Eyed Demon God.
Secretly, Shui Miao intensified the Nightmare Heart Technique, clouding the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s mind, making him sluggish and slow to react.
“Fine! If you want to settle this with strength, then I’ll play with you today!”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God suddenly shook his body, consuming a large number of demonic saint-level pills. The over a dozen demon emperors within him instantly recovered, their power doubling. He himself was healed, his magic power increased by a full fold! Immediately after, a massive cloud of toxic mist and sinister energy erupted from the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s body, like a dark cloud suddenly appearing in a clear sky, growing larger and larger.
The radiant light from the Hong Yu Chessboard was struggling to suppress it!
“Roar!”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God let out an earth-shaking roar, releasing tens of thousands of elite demon soldiers and numerous monsters from his spatial realm. He swung his arms, hurling the destroyed dual hammers at the defensive array and the main hall of the celestial commander’s camp. Two loud explosions followed, and the defensive array was shattered, the main hall reduced to rubble.
The war drums fell silent, and the celestial soldiers under the commander’s leadership were thrown into chaos.
Immediately after, the Nine-Eyed Demon God summoned a pitch-black pagoda from his spatial realm, chanting incantations. The pagoda grew larger and larger, threatening to engulf Shui Miao.
“Nine-Eyed Demon God, you’ve got me today, but I, Shui Miao, will return to settle this score!” Shui Miao suddenly vanished, abandoning the Hong Yu Chessboard and fleeing at top speed.
Seeing this, the celestial commander was stunned, “What just happened? How could he just run away like that?”
“Shui Miao, wait for me!”
Shui Tianyi, seeing Shui Miao flee, immediately gave chase.
“Huh?”
“What’s going on with this kid? Did he run out of energy? He even abandoned the Hong Yu Chessboard, composed of supreme sacred artifacts!”
“This kid can’t be Xuan Kong’er’s disciple. Xuan Kong’er would never flee, and he certainly wouldn’t have a disciple who runs away!”
Seeing Shui Miao abandon the Hong Yu Chessboard, the Nine-Eyed Demon God was shaken. He immediately seized the chessboard, attempting to subdue the spirits of the many sacred artifacts within and claim them for himself. But then he discovered that the Hong Yu Chessboard was empty—it was just a chessboard. All the sacred artifacts had been taken by Shui Miao!
“Brat, so this is all you’ve got! Haha…”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God was convinced that Shui Miao was at his wit’s end. Without bothering to refine the chessboard, he quickly moved it into his spatial realm and pursued Shui Miao relentlessly.
“Boom!”
Within three to five breaths, the supreme sacred artifact chessboard within the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s spatial realm suddenly self-destructed!
“Haha, he fell for it!”
Shui Miao’s heart stirred, and he immediately stopped his flight, turning back to look at the Nine-Eyed Demon God, who had crashed to the ground. This time, he was doomed!
The one Shui Miao feared most was the Malevolent Worm Talisman.
In mid-air, Shui Miao stood atop the Hong Yu Chessboard, looking down upon the horde of demons with disdain. He unleashed the full power of all the sacred artifacts and the might of the thirty-eight immortal emperor-level spirit weapons, instantly halting the advance of all the celestial and demonic soldiers. The weaker ones at the forefront were directly obliterated by the overwhelming pressure, their souls scattered and utterly annihilated.
They had come to the celestial realm expecting a massacre.
Instead, they were the ones being mercilessly slaughtered.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God, being the strongest, bore the brunt of the pressure.
The giant blood python, which had been thrashing wildly moments ago, immediately raised its head high upon seeing Shui Miao, its massive crimson vertical pupils locked onto him, poised for attack, highly alert.
“Are you the Nine-Eyed Demon God?”
Shui Miao narrowed his eyes, coldly staring at the monstrous giant before him. Under the immense pressure of Shui Miao’s aura, even the Nine-Eyed Demon God was struggling to hold his ground.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s voice boomed like a great bell, the sheer sound of it killing many of the weaker celestial and demonic soldiers. It was no joke—someone who could harness the power of thirty-eight immortal emperor-level spirit weapons had transcended the concept of a mere mortal, embodying the essence of a supreme sacred artifact. Such terrifying power was naturally beyond the endurance of the weaker demonic soldiers.
“Kid, who exactly are you? Do you think you can stop us with just two treasures?”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God, who also harbored over a dozen demon emperors within him, roared furiously. Suddenly, he swung his massive twin hammers together, creating a flash of fire. The terrifying shockwave instantly injured a large number of celestial soldiers.
“Whoosh!”
The giant blood python seized the opportunity, suddenly opening its gaping maw and lunging at Shui Miao…
“Bang!”
Before it could bite Shui Miao, it was repelled by an invisible defensive shield, sustaining some injuries in the process.
“Want to fight? Easy!”
With a thought from Shui Miao, the entire Hong Yu Chessboard activated. Thirty-six attack methods, led by the purple aura of fortune, were unleashed simultaneously. The sky was instantly filled with a dazzling array of colorful lights, annihilating large swathes of demonic soldiers. Meanwhile, the celestial soldiers bathed in the radiant light, their cultivation greatly enhanced. Those who had been injured by the shockwave were fully healed, and many who were at a bottleneck in their cultivation broke through to higher realms.
This was an absolute massacre.
Tens of thousands of demonic soldiers were annihilated, and the giant blood python was severely wounded by the powerful attacks. It tried to flee but found itself immobilized, its internal energy boiling uncontrollably. To make matters worse, the Nightmare Heart Technique was clouding its mind, slowly leading it to its demise.
For the giant blood python, if its master could not save it, death was inevitable.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God was also suffering, his situation similar to that of the blood python.
The Void Annihilation Array was repeatedly activated, destroying the protective shields and some of the treasures on both the Nine-Eyed Demon God and the giant blood python.
“Thud!”
The giant blood python’s raised head finally crashed heavily to the ground. After a few convulsions, its soul scattered, and it became a lifeless corpse.
Half of the formations within the Hong Yu Chessboard were killing arrays.
Each killing array, when activated, was incredibly powerful.
But for the superpowers of the demonic realm, the most terrifying was the purple aura of fortune. The blood python, already injured by the purple aura, now found its wounds exacerbated, making its death inevitable.
“Kid, who exactly are you? Are you the disciple of Xuan Kong’er?”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God’s massive body trembled under the radiant light. He was constantly channeling demonic energy to resist the attacks, while the demon emperors within him were desperately supplying him with power to withstand Shui Miao.

“A sacred demonic artifact!!”
“How is this possible? How could you forge a sacred demonic artifact? Are you really the disciple of Xuan Kong’er?”
Feeling the suppression of the sacred demonic artifact, the Nine-Eyed Demon God panicked.
This was no ordinary sacred demonic artifact. It was forged by Shui Miao based on the treasures of the Skeleton Demon Emperor, and within it, Shui Miao had embedded a death and decay array. To forge this artifact, Shui Miao had expended all the collected poisonous mist and bloody rain. But now, the sacred demonic artifact was complete and ready for use.
“Boom!”
Shui Miao had no intention of engaging with the Nine-Eyed Demon God. With another fierce attack from the Hong Yu Chessboard, the demon emperors within the Nine-Eyed Demon God could no longer endure, all spitting blood and suffering severe injuries.
With over a dozen demon emperors within him injured, the Nine-Eyed Demon God himself was also struggling, his body trembling violently.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God seemed to be waiting for Shui Miao’s response.
But Shui Miao had no intention of responding, only the thought of completely annihilating him.
“Hum!”
The Void Annihilation Array was activated once more. After several attacks, the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s twin hammers were finally rendered useless by the array’s damage.
However, the Nine-Eyed Demon God suddenly sneered, “Kid, is this all you’ve got? If you’re really the disciple of Xuan Kong’er, you should know what treasures I possess. To kill me, you’ll have to break this treasure of mine. Otherwise, you’ll never be able to kill me, not even in your next life. When your energy is exhausted, it will be my turn to strike back and kill you.”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God wasn’t boasting without reason. He indeed possessed an exceptional treasure.
This treasure was the second most powerful artifact in the demonic realm, known as the Void Escape Mirror. As the name suggests, it was a demonic mirror that allowed him to escape instantly.

Shui Miao spoke casually, but his actions were swift and decisive.
The Hong Yu Chessboard continued to be fiercely activated, relentlessly injuring the Nine-Eyed Demon God.
Secretly, Shui Miao also intensified the Nightmare Heart Technique, clouding the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s mind, making him drowsy and slow to react.
“Fine! If you want to settle this with strength, then I’ll play with you today!”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God suddenly shook his body, consuming a large number of demonic realm’s sacred-level elixirs. The over a dozen demon emperors within him instantly recovered, their power doubled. He himself was also healed, his magic power fully restored, and his demonic energy increased by a full fold! Immediately, a vast amount of poisonous mist and yin evil energy erupted from the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s body, like a dark cloud suddenly appearing in the clear sky, growing larger and larger.
The radiant light from the Hong Yu Chessboard was struggling to suppress it!
“Roar!”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God let out an extremely terrifying roar, releasing tens of thousands of elite demonic soldiers and numerous monsters from his spatial realm.

Two loud explosions later, the defensive array was shattered, and the main command hall was reduced to rubble.

Immediately after, the Nine-Eyed Demon God summoned a pitch-black pagoda from his spatial realm, chanting incantations. The pagoda grew larger and larger, threatening to engulf Shui Miao.
“Nine-Eyed Demon God, today you’ve got the upper hand, but I, Shui Miao, will return to settle the score with you!” Shui Miao suddenly vanished, abandoning the Hong Yu Chessboard and fleeing at top speed.
Seeing this, the celestial commander was stunned, “What just happened? How could he just run away like that?”
“Shui Miao, wait for me!”
Shui Tianyi, seeing Shui Miao flee, immediately gave chase.

Shui Miao’s heart stirred, and he immediately stopped his flight, turning back to look at the Nine-Eyed Demon God, who had crashed to the ground. This time, he was doomed!
Though he spoke casually, Shui Miao’s actions were swift.
The Hongyu Chessboard continued its relentless assault, dealing continuous injuries to the Nine-Eyed Demon God.
In secret, Shui Miao also intensified the Dream Demon Technique, clouding the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s mind, making him sluggish and slow to react.
“Fine! If you want to fight with brute force, then I’ll play along with you today!”
In mid-air, Shui Miao stood atop the Hongyu Chessboard, looking down upon the horde of demons. He unleashed the full power of all the sacred artifacts and the might of the thirty-eight immortal emperor-level spirit tools, instantly halting the advance of all the celestial and demonic soldiers. The weaker ones at the forefront were directly overwhelmed by the aura, their souls scattered, and they perished completely.
They had come to the celestial realm expecting a massacre.
Instead, they were the ones who were annihilated.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God, being the strongest, bore the brunt of the pressure.
The giant blood python, which had been thrashing about, immediately raised its head high upon seeing Shui Miao again. Its massive crimson vertical pupils locked onto Shui Miao, its posture highly alert, ready to attack at any moment.
“Are you the Nine-Eyed Demon God?” Shui Miao narrowed his eyes, coldly staring at the monstrous giant before him. Under the immense pressure of Shui Miao’s aura, even the Nine-Eyed Demon God was struggling to hold his ground.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s voice boomed like a giant bell, and the sheer sound of it killed many of the weaker celestial and demonic soldiers. It was no joke—someone who could harness the power of thirty-eight immortal emperor-level spirit tools was far beyond the concept of a mere human. This was the power of a supreme sacred artifact, a terrifying force that the weaker demon soldiers could not withstand.
“Kid, who exactly are you? Do you think you can stop us just because you have a couple of treasures?” The Nine-Eyed Demon God, who also harbored over a dozen demon emperors within him, roared repeatedly. Suddenly, he swung his massive twin hammers together, and a flash of fire erupted. The terrifying soundwave instantly injured a large number of celestial soldiers.
“Whoosh!”
The giant blood python seized the opportunity, suddenly opening its gaping maw and lunging at Shui Miao…
“Bang!”
Before the python could bite Shui Miao, it was repelled by an invisible defensive shield, sustaining some injuries in the process.
“Want to fight? Easy!” Shui Miao’s mind stirred, and the entire Hongyu Chessboard activated. Thirty-six attack methods, led by the purple fortune aura, were unleashed simultaneously. The sky was instantly filled with a kaleidoscope of radiant light. Large swathes of demonic soldiers were annihilated on the spot, while the celestial soldiers bathed in the light, their cultivation greatly enhanced. Those who had been injured by the soundwave were fully healed, and some who were at a bottleneck in their cultivation even broke through to higher realms.
This was absolute annihilation, complete and utter destruction.
Tens of thousands of demonic soldiers were wiped out. The giant blood python was also severely injured by the powerful attacks. It wanted to flee, but it couldn’t move. Its magic power was boiling within its body, completely out of control. To make matters worse, the Nightmare Heart Technique was still tormenting its mind, causing it to slowly succumb to death in a dazed state.
For the giant blood python, if its master couldn’t save it, death was the only outcome.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God wasn’t faring much better. His situation was similar to that of the giant blood python.
The Void Annihilation Array was repeatedly activated, destroying the shields and some of the treasures on both the Nine-Eyed Demon God and the giant blood python.
“Thud!”
The giant blood python’s head, which had been held high, finally slammed heavily onto the ground. After a few convulsions, its soul dispersed, and it became a lifeless snake.
Within the Hongyu Chessboard, half of the arrays were killing arrays.
Each killing array, when activated, was incredibly powerful.
But for the superpowers of the demon realm, the most terrifying was the purple fortune aura. The blood python had already been injured by the purple fortune aura before, and now, with this additional blow, it was naturally unable to withstand it. Death was inevitable.
“Kid, who exactly are you? Are you… are you the disciple of Xuankong’er?” The Nine-Eyed Demon God’s massive body trembled under the radiant light. He was constantly channeling demonic energy to resist the attacks of the light, and the demon emperors within him were desperately supplying him with power to help him withstand Shui Miao.
“Haha, guess!” Shui Miao suddenly laughed and summoned a newly forged sacred demonic artifact, directly unleashing it upon the Nine-Eyed Demon God.
“A sacred demonic artifact!!”
“How is this possible? How could you possibly forge a sacred demonic artifact? Are you really Xuankong’er’s disciple?”
Feeling the suppression of the sacred demonic artifact, the Nine-Eyed Demon God panicked.
This wasn’t just any sacred demonic artifact—it was one Shui Miao had forged based on the Skeleton Demon Emperor’s treasure. Within it, Shui Miao had embedded the Death Withering Array. To forge this artifact, Shui Miao had expended all the toxic mist and bloody rain he had collected. But now, the sacred demonic artifact was complete and ready to be put to good use.

Shui Miao spoke as if he didn’t care, but his actions showed no hesitation.
The Hongyu Chessboard continued to be fiercely activated, repeatedly injuring the Nine-Eyed Demon God.
Secretly, Shui Miao also intensified the activation of the Nightmare Heart Technique, tormenting and confusing the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s thoughts, making him sluggish and slow to react.
“Fine! If you want to settle this with strength, then I’ll play with you today!”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God suddenly shook his body and consumed a large number of demonic saint-level pills. The over a dozen demon emperors within him instantly recovered, and their power doubled. He himself was also healed, his magic power restored, and his demonic energy increased by a full fold! Immediately after, a massive amount of toxic mist and yin evil energy erupted from the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s body, like a dark cloud suddenly appearing in a clear sky, growing larger and larger.

“Roar!”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God let out an extremely terrifying roar. He released tens of thousands of elite demonic soldiers and numerous monsters from his mental space. He then swung his arms, smashing the destroyed twin hammers into the defensive array and the main hall set up by the celestial commander. Two loud explosions later, the defensive array was shattered, and the commander’s tent was reduced to rubble.
The war drums fell silent, and the celestial soldiers under the celestial commander’s command were thrown into chaos.
Immediately after, the Nine-Eyed Demon God summoned a pitch-black pagoda from his mental space, chanting incantations. The pagoda grew larger and larger, threatening to engulf Shui Miao.

“Shui Miao, wait for me!”
Shui Tianyi, seeing Shui Miao flee, immediately gave chase.
“Huh?”
“What’s going on with this kid? Did he run out of energy? He even abandoned the Hongyu Chessboard, which is made up of supreme sacred artifacts!”
“This kid definitely isn’t Xuankong’er’s disciple. Xuankong’er would never run away, and he wouldn’t have a disciple who runs away either!”
Seeing Shui Miao abandon the Hongyu Chessboard, the Nine-Eyed Demon God was shaken. He immediately grabbed the chessboard, quickly activating his divine sense to subdue the many sacred artifact spirits within it and claim them for himself. But then, the Nine-Eyed Demon God discovered that the Hongyu Chessboard was empty—it was just a chessboard. All the sacred artifacts on it had been taken away by Shui Miao!
“Brat, so this is all you’ve got! Haha…”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God immediately concluded that Shui Miao was at his wit’s end. Without bothering to refine the chessboard, he quickly moved the Hongyu Chessboard into his mental space and pursued Shui Miao relentlessly.
“Boom!”
Within three to five breaths, the supreme sacred artifact chessboard within the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s mental space suddenly self-destructed!
“Haha, he fell for it!”
Shui Miao’s mind stirred, and he immediately stopped fleeing, turning back to look at the Nine-Eyed Demon God, who had suddenly fallen to the ground. This time, he was doomed!
The radiant light from the Hongyu Chessboard began to falter under this onslaught.
“Roar!”
In mid-air, Shui Miao stood atop the Hong Yu Chessboard, looking down upon the horde of demons. With all his might, he activated the power of all the sacred artifacts and the thirty-eight celestial emperor-level spirit weapons, instantly suppressing all the celestial and demon soldiers, preventing them from advancing even half a step. The weaker soldiers at the forefront were directly overwhelmed by the pressure, their souls scattered, and they perished instantly.
They had thought this invasion of the celestial realm would be a massacre.
Instead, they were the ones being annihilated with overwhelming force.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God, being the strongest, bore the brunt of the pressure.
The giant blood python, which had been thrashing wildly, immediately raised its head high upon seeing Shui Miao, its massive crimson vertical pupils fixed intently on him, assuming a highly alert posture, ready to attack at any moment.
“Are you the Nine-Eyed Demon God?” Shui Miao narrowed his eyes, coldly staring at the monstrous giant before him. Under the immense pressure of Shui Miao’s power, even the Nine-Eyed Demon God was struggling to hold his ground.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s voice boomed like a great bell, and the sheer sound of it killed many of the weaker celestial and demon soldiers. It was no joke—someone who could harness the power of thirty-eight celestial emperor-level spirit weapons was far beyond the concept of a mere human; he was akin to a supreme sacred artifact. Such terrifying power was naturally unbearable for the weaker demon soldiers.
“Kid, who exactly are you? Do you think you can stop us with just two treasures?” The Nine-Eyed Demon God roared, his body housing over a dozen demon emperors. With a sudden shake of his body, he swung his massive twin hammers together, creating a flash of fire. The terrifying shockwave instantly injured a large number of celestial soldiers.
“Whoosh!”
The giant blood python seized the opportunity, suddenly opening its gaping maw and lunging at Shui Miao…
“Bang!”
Before it could bite Shui Miao, the python was repelled by an invisible defensive shield, sustaining some injuries in the process.
“Want to fight? Easy!” Shui Miao’s mind stirred, and the entire Hong Yu Chessboard activated. Thirty-six attack methods, led by the purple aura, were unleashed simultaneously. The sky was instantly filled with a dazzling array of colorful lights. Large swathes of demon soldiers were annihilated on the spot, while the celestial soldiers bathed in the radiant light, their cultivation greatly enhanced. Those who had been injured by the shockwave were fully healed, and many who were at a bottleneck in their cultivation broke through to higher realms.
This was an absolute massacre.
Tens of thousands of demon soldiers were wiped out. The giant blood python was severely injured in the powerful attack. It tried to flee, but it was immobilized. Its mana boiled uncontrollably within its body, and to make matters worse, the Nightmare Heart Technique continued to torment its mind, leaving it in a dazed state as it slowly succumbed to its demise.
For the giant blood python, if its master could not save it, death was inevitable.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God was also suffering, his situation similar to that of the giant python.
The Void Annihilation Array was repeatedly activated, destroying the shields and some of the treasures on both the Nine-Eyed Demon God and the giant python.
“Thud!”
The giant python’s raised head finally crashed heavily to the ground. After a few convulsions, its soul scattered, and it became a lifeless corpse.
Half of the formations within the Hong Yu Chessboard were killing arrays.
Each killing array, when activated, was incredibly powerful.
But for the superpowers of the demon realm, the most terrifying force was the purple aura. The blood python had already been injured by the purple aura before, and now, with this additional blow, it was naturally unable to withstand it. Death was inevitable.
“Kid, who exactly are you? Are you… are you the disciple of Xuan Kong’er?” The Nine-Eyed Demon God’s massive body trembled under the radiant light. He was constantly channeling demonic energy to resist the attacks, and the demon emperors within him were desperately supplying him with mana to help him withstand Shui Miao.
“Haha, guess!” Shui Miao suddenly laughed and then summoned a newly forged sacred demonic artifact, directly unleashing it upon the Nine-Eyed Demon God.
“A sacred demonic artifact!!”
“How is this possible? How could you forge a sacred demonic artifact? Are you really Xuan Kong’er’s disciple?”
Feeling the suppression of the sacred demonic artifact, the Nine-Eyed Demon God panicked.
This was no ordinary sacred demonic artifact. It was forged by Shui Miao based on the treasures of the Skeleton Demon Emperor. Within it, Shui Miao had embedded a Death Withering Array. To forge this artifact, Shui Miao had expended all the toxic mist and blood rain he had collected. But now, the sacred demonic artifact was complete and ready to be put to good use.
“Boom!”
Shui Miao had no intention of engaging with the Nine-Eyed Demon God. With another fierce attack from the Hong Yu Chessboard, the demon emperors within the Nine-Eyed Demon God could no longer withstand the pressure. They all vomited blood, severely injured.
With over a dozen demon emperors within him injured, the Nine-Eyed Demon God himself could no longer hold on. His body trembled violently.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God seemed to be waiting for Shui Miao’s response.
But Shui Miao had no intention of responding. His only thought was to completely annihilate him.
“Hum!”
The Void Annihilation Array was activated once more. After several attacks, the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s twin hammers were finally rendered useless as the array destroyed them.
However, the Nine-Eyed Demon God suddenly sneered, “Kid, is this all you’ve got? If you’re Xuan Kong’er’s disciple, you should know what treasures I possess. To kill me, you’ll have to break this treasure of mine. Otherwise, you’ll never be able to kill me, not even in your next life. Once your energy is depleted, it will be my turn to strike and annihilate you.”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God’s words were not mere bravado. He indeed possessed an extraordinary treasure.
This treasure was the second greatest artifact of the demon realm, known as the Void Escape Mirror. As the name suggested, it was a demonic mirror that allowed him to instantly escape.
He was willing to endure severe injuries just to verify whether Shui Miao was truly Xuan Kong’er’s disciple.
This information seemed trivial, but in reality, it was closely tied to the fate of the demon realm.
Originally, the demon realm had been suppressed by the celestial court, constantly constrained. It was only with the emergence of Xuan Kong’er that the demon realm rose to power and successfully took control of the celestial court. But later, Xuan Kong’er suddenly disappeared, and the remaining powerful figures of the celestial court went into hiding. The demon realm lost its ability to continue its conquest of the celestial court.
But now, the Nine-Eyed Demon God had discovered Shui Miao, and he directly suspected that Shui Miao was Xuan Kong’er’s disciple.
Xuan Kong’er had vanished without a trace, and despite searching the entire demon realm, no one could find him. The possibility that he had infiltrated the three realms of ghosts and gods was highly plausible.
Thus, the Nine-Eyed Demon God had to verify Shui Miao’s identity.
If Shui Miao was indeed Xuan Kong’er’s disciple, the demon realm would spare no effort to annihilate him, even if it meant destroying the three realms and turning the world upside down.
“Haha…” Shui Miao suddenly laughed, “In that case, let’s wait until I’ve exhausted all my energy.”
It was time to use other killing moves!
Shui Miao appeared indifferent on the surface, but in his heart, he was immediately on guard.
From the memories of the Skeleton Demon Emperor, Shui Miao had learned much. Xuan Kong’er was a genius of the ages. Although he had disappeared, he had left behind three super artifacts for the demon realm: the Substitute Mirror, the Void Escape Mirror, and the Myriad Evils Gu. These three super artifacts were mysterious and unpredictable, with unimaginable power, making them impossible to guard against.
What Shui Miao feared the most was naturally the Myriad Evils Gu, ranked first among them.
As for the Nine-Eyed Demon God before him, Shui Miao was certain he possessed the Void Escape Mirror. The most powerful Myriad Evils Gu was likely in the hands of the Demon Emperor Wu Yezi.
Shui Miao spoke casually, but his actions were swift and decisive.
The Hong Yu Chessboard continued to unleash fierce attacks, repeatedly injuring the Nine-Eyed Demon God.
Secretly, Shui Miao also intensified the Nightmare Heart Technique, further confusing and dulling the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s thoughts, leaving him in a daze and slow to react.
“Fine! Since you want to settle this with strength, I’ll play with you today!”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God suddenly shook his body and consumed a large number of demonic saint-level pills, instantly healing the over a dozen demon emperors within him and doubling their power. He himself was also fully healed, his mana restored, and his demonic power increased by a full fold! Immediately after, a vast amount of toxic mist and yin evil energy erupted from the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s body, like a dark cloud suddenly appearing in a clear sky, growing larger and larger.
The radiant light from the Hong Yu Chessboard was struggling to suppress it!
“Roar!”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God let out an earth-shattering roar, releasing tens of thousands of elite demon soldiers and numerous monsters from his mental realm. He swung his arms, hurling the destroyed twin hammers at the defensive array and the main hall of the celestial commander’s camp. With two loud explosions, the defensive array was shattered, and the main hall was reduced to rubble.
The war drums fell silent, and the celestial soldiers were thrown into chaos.
Immediately after, the Nine-Eyed Demon God summoned a pitch-black pagoda from his mental realm, chanting incantations as the pagoda grew larger and larger, threatening to engulf Shui Miao.
“Nine-Eyed Demon God, today you’ve got the upper hand, but I, Shui Miao, will return to settle the score with you!” Shui Miao suddenly vanished, abandoning the Hong Yu Chessboard and fleeing at top speed.
Seeing this, the celestial commander was stunned, “What just happened? How could he just run away like that?”
“Shui Miao, wait for me!”
Shui Tianyi, seeing Shui Miao flee, immediately gave chase.
“Huh?”
“What’s going on with this kid? Did he run out of energy? How could he abandon the Hong Yu Chessboard, a supreme sacred artifact?”
“This kid can’t be Xuan Kong’er’s disciple. Xuan Kong’er would never run away, and he certainly wouldn’t have a disciple who flees!”
Seeing Shui Miao abandon the Hong Yu Chessboard, the Nine-Eyed Demon God was shaken. He immediately seized the chessboard, attempting to subdue the spirits of the many sacred artifacts within it and claim them for himself. But then he discovered that the Hong Yu Chessboard was empty—it was just a chessboard. All the sacred artifacts had been taken by Shui Miao!
“Brat, so you’re just a coward after all! Haha…”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God was now convinced that Shui Miao was at his wit’s end. Without bothering to refine the chessboard, he quickly moved it into his mental realm and began pursuing Shui Miao relentlessly.
“Boom!”
Within three to five breaths, the supreme sacred artifact chessboard within the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s mental realm suddenly self-destructed!
“Haha, he fell for it!”
Shui Miao’s mind stirred, and he immediately stopped fleeing, turning back to look at the Nine-Eyed Demon God, who had crashed to the ground. This time, he was doomed!
The war drums fell silent, and the heavenly soldiers fell into chaos.
In mid-air, Shui Miao stood atop the Hongyu Chessboard, looking down upon the horde of demons. He unleashed the full might of all his sacred artifacts and the power of thirty-eight immortal emperor-level spirit weapons, instantly halting the advance of all celestial and demonic soldiers. The weaker ones at the forefront were directly obliterated by the overwhelming pressure, their souls scattered and utterly annihilated.
They had come to the celestial realm expecting a massacre.
Instead, they were the ones being mercilessly slaughtered.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God, being the strongest, bore the brunt of the pressure.
The giant blood python, which had been thrashing about, immediately raised its head high upon seeing Shui Miao, its massive crimson vertical pupils fixed intently on him, poised in a highly alert stance, ready to strike at any moment.
“Are you the Nine-Eyed Demon God?” Shui Miao narrowed his eyes, coldly staring at the monstrous giant before him. Under the immense pressure of Shui Miao’s aura, even the Nine-Eyed Demon God was struggling to hold his ground.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s voice boomed like a giant bell, its sheer volume alone killing many of the weaker celestial and demonic soldiers. It was no joke—someone who could harness the power of thirty-eight immortal emperor-level spirit weapons had far surpassed the concept of a mere mortal. This was the power of a supreme sacred artifact, a terrifying force that the weaker demon soldiers could not withstand.
“Kid, who exactly are you? Do you think you can stop us with just a couple of treasures?” The Nine-Eyed Demon God roared, his body housing over a dozen demon emperors. With a sudden shake, he swung his massive twin hammers together, creating a flash of fire. The terrifying shockwave instantly injured a large number of celestial soldiers.
“Whoosh!”
The giant blood python seized the opportunity, suddenly opening its gaping maw and lunging at Shui Miao…
“Bang!”
Before it could bite Shui Miao, the python was repelled by an invisible defensive shield, sustaining some injuries in the process.
“Want to fight? Easy!” Shui Miao’s mind stirred, and the entire Hongyu Chessboard activated. Thirty-six attack methods, led by the Purple Fortune Qi, were unleashed simultaneously, filling the sky with a dazzling array of colorful lights. Large swathes of demon soldiers were instantly annihilated, while the celestial soldiers bathed in the radiant light, their cultivation greatly enhanced. Those who had been injured by the shockwave were fully healed, and many who were at a bottleneck in their cultivation broke through to new realms.
This was absolute annihilation, complete and utter destruction.
Tens of thousands of demon soldiers were wiped out, and the giant blood python was severely wounded in the powerful assault. It tried to flee, but found itself immobilized, its internal magic boiling uncontrollably. To make matters worse, the Nightmare Heart Technique was clouding its mind, causing it to slowly succumb to its demise in a dazed state.
For the giant blood python, if its master could not save it, death was inevitable.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God was not faring much better, his situation similar to that of the python.
The Void Annihilation Array was repeatedly activated, destroying the protective shields and some of the treasures on both the Nine-Eyed Demon God and the giant blood python.
“Thud!”
The python’s once proudly raised head finally slammed heavily to the ground. After a few convulsions, its soul scattered, and it became a lifeless corpse.
Within the Hongyu Chessboard, half of the arrays were killing arrays.
Each killing array, when activated, was incredibly powerful.
But for the superpowers of the demon realm, the most terrifying force was the Purple Fortune Qi. The blood python had already been injured by it before, and now, with its wounds exacerbated, it was naturally unable to withstand the assault. Death was inevitable.
“Kid, who exactly are you? Are you… are you the disciple of Xuankong’er?” The Nine-Eyed Demon God’s massive body trembled under the radiant light. He was constantly channeling demonic energy to resist the attacks, while the demon emperors within him were desperately supplying him with power to withstand Shui Miao.
“Haha, guess!” Shui Miao suddenly laughed, then summoned a newly forged sacred demon artifact, directly unleashing it upon the Nine-Eyed Demon God.
“A sacred demon artifact!!”
“How is this possible? How could you possibly forge a sacred demon artifact? Are you really Xuankong’er’s disciple?”
Feeling the suppression of the sacred demon artifact, the Nine-Eyed Demon God panicked.
This was no ordinary sacred demon artifact. It was forged by Shui Miao based on the Skeleton Demon Emperor’s treasure, and within it, Shui Miao had embedded a Death Withering Array.

“Boom!”
Shui Miao had no intention of engaging with the Nine-Eyed Demon God. With another fierce attack from the Hongyu Chessboard, the demon emperors within the Nine-Eyed Demon God could no longer withstand the assault, all spitting blood and suffering severe injuries.
With over a dozen demon emperors injured within him, the Nine-Eyed Demon God also began to falter, his body shaking violently.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God seemed to be waiting for Shui Miao’s response.
But Shui Miao had no intention of responding; his only thought was to annihilate the demon god completely.
“Hum!”
The Void Annihilation Array was activated once more. After several attacks, the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s twin hammers were finally rendered useless, destroyed by the array.
However, the Nine-Eyed Demon God suddenly sneered, “Kid, is this all you’ve got? If you’re Xuankong’er’s disciple, you should know what treasures I possess. To kill me, you’ll have to break through this treasure of mine. Otherwise, you’ll never be able to kill me, not even in your next life. Once your energy is depleted, it will be my turn to strike back and annihilate you.”

Though he had disappeared, he had left behind three super artifacts for the demon realm: the Substitute Mirror, the Void Escape Mirror, and the Myriad Evils Gu. These three super artifacts were mysterious and unpredictable, with unfathomable power, making them impossible to guard against.
What Shui Miao feared most was naturally the Myriad Evils Gu, ranked first among the three.
As for the Nine-Eyed Demon God before him, Shui Miao was certain he possessed the Void Escape Mirror. The most powerful Myriad Evils Gu was likely in the hands of the Demon Emperor Wuyezi.
Though Shui Miao spoke lightly, his actions showed no hesitation.
The Hongyu Chessboard continued to be fiercely activated, relentlessly injuring the Nine-Eyed Demon God.
Secretly, Shui Miao also intensified the activation of the Nightmare Heart Technique, clouding and confusing the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s thoughts, making him sluggish and slow to react.
“Fine! Since you want to settle this with strength, I’ll play with you today!” The Nine-Eyed Demon God suddenly shook his body, consuming a large number of demonic saint-level elixirs. The dozen or so demon emperors within him instantly recovered, their power doubling. He himself was also healed, his magic restored, and his demonic power increased by a full fold!

The radiant light from the Hongyu Chessboard was struggling to suppress it!
“Roar!”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God let out an earth-shattering roar, releasing tens of thousands of elite demon soldiers and numerous monsters from his spatial realm. He swung his arms, hurling the destroyed twin hammers at the defensive array and the main hall set up by the celestial commander. Two loud explosions followed, and the defensive array was shattered, the main hall reduced to rubble.
The war drums fell silent, and the celestial soldiers under the celestial commander’s command were thrown into chaos.
Immediately after, the Nine-Eyed Demon God summoned a pitch-black pagoda from his spatial realm, chanting incantations. The pagoda grew larger and larger, threatening to engulf Shui Miao.
“Nine-Eyed Demon God, today you’ve got the upper hand, but I, Shui Miao, will return to settle the score with you!” Shui Miao suddenly vanished, abandoning the Hongyu Chessboard and fleeing at top speed.
Seeing this, the celestial commander was stunned, “What just happened? How could he just run away like that?”

The Nine-Eyed Demon God immediately concluded that Shui Miao was at his wit’s end. Without bothering to refine the chessboard, he quickly moved it into his spatial realm and pursued Shui Miao relentlessly.
“Boom!”
Within three to five breaths, the supreme sacred artifact chessboard within the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s spatial realm suddenly exploded!
“Haha, he fell for it!”
Shui Miao’s mind stirred, and he immediately stopped his flight, turning back to look at the Nine-Eyed Demon God, who had suddenly plummeted to the ground. This time, he was doomed!
“Nine-Eyed Demon God, today you win. But I, Shui Miao, will return to settle the score!”
Suddenly, Shui Miao vanished, abandoning the Hongyu Chessboard and fleeing at top speed!
Seeing this, Ling Shuai was stunned, “How could this happen? Why would he run away so suddenly?”
“Shui Miao, wait for me!”
Shui Tianyi, seeing Shui Miao flee, immediately gave chase with all her might.
“Hmm?”
“What’s going on with this kid? Could he have run out of crystals? He even abandoned the supreme sacred artifact—the Hongyu Chessboard!”
“This kid definitely isn’t Xuan Kong’er’s disciple. Xuan Kong’er would never run, nor would he have a disciple who would flee!”
Seeing Shui Miao abandon the Hongyu Chessboard, the Nine-Eyed Demon God was stunned. He quickly grabbed the chessboard and tried to subdue the spirit guardians within, hoping to claim it for himself. But then he discovered that the Hongyu Chessboard was completely empty—just a chessboard. All the sacred artifacts had been taken away by Shui Miao!
“Brat, so you’re not that impressive after all! Hahaha…”
In mid-air, Shui Miao stood atop the Hong Yu Chessboard, looking down upon the horde of demons. He summoned the full might of all the sacred artifacts and the thirty-eight immortal emperor-level spirit weapons, instantly halting the advance of the celestial and demonic soldiers. The weaker ones at the forefront were directly obliterated by the overwhelming pressure, their souls scattered and utterly annihilated.
They had come to the celestial realm expecting a massacre.
Instead, they found themselves being annihilated.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God, the strongest among them, bore the brunt of the pressure.
The massive blood python, which had been thrashing wildly, immediately raised its head high upon seeing Shui Miao, its enormous crimson vertical pupils locked onto him, poised to attack at any moment.
“Are you the Nine-Eyed Demon God?” Shui Miao narrowed his eyes, coldly staring at the monstrous giant before him. Even the Nine-Eyed Demon God was struggling under the immense pressure.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s voice boomed like a giant bell, its resonance alone killing many of the weaker celestial and demonic soldiers. To joke, someone who could harness the power of thirty-eight immortal emperor-level spirit weapons was no longer human but a concept of a supreme sacred artifact. Such terrifying power was naturally unbearable for the weaker demon soldiers.
“Kid, who are you? Do you think you can stop us with just two treasures?” The Nine-Eyed Demon God, who had over a dozen demon emperors hidden within him, roared furiously. Suddenly, he swung his massive hammers together, creating a flash of fire and a terrifying shockwave that injured a large number of celestial soldiers.
“Whoosh!”
The giant blood python seized the opportunity, lunging at Shui Miao with its gaping maw…
“Bang!”
Before it could bite Shui Miao, it was repelled by an invisible shield, sustaining some injuries in the process.
“Want to fight? Easy!” Shui Miao’s mind stirred, and the entire Hong Yu Chessboard activated. Thirty-six attack methods, led by the Purple Fortune Qi, were unleashed simultaneously, filling the sky with a kaleidoscope of radiant light. Countless demon soldiers were instantly annihilated, while the celestial soldiers bathed in the light, their cultivation greatly enhanced. Those who had been injured were fully healed, and those at a bottleneck broke through to higher realms.
This was absolute annihilation.
Hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers were wiped out. The giant blood python was severely injured in the onslaught. It tried to flee but found itself immobilized, its magic boiling uncontrollably within. To make matters worse, the Nightmare Heart Technique plagued its mind, slowly leading to its demise.
For the giant blood python, if its master couldn’t save it, death was inevitable.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God was also suffering, his situation similar to the blood python.
The Void Annihilation Array was repeatedly activated, destroying the shields and artifacts on both the Nine-Eyed Demon God and the blood python.
“Thud!”
The blood python’s raised head finally crashed to the ground, twitching a few times before its soul dispersed, leaving behind a lifeless corpse.
Half of the formations within the Hong Yu Chessboard were killing arrays.
Each killing array, when activated, was incredibly powerful.
But for the superpowers of the demon realm, the most formidable was the Purple Fortune Qi. The blood python, already injured by it, now faced further devastation, making its death inevitable.
“Kid, who are you? Are you the disciple of Xuan Kong’er?” The Nine-Eyed Demon God’s massive body trembled under the radiant light. He was constantly channeling demonic energy to resist the attacks, while the demon emperors within him desperately supplied him with power to withstand Shui Miao.
“Haha, guess!” Shui Miao suddenly laughed and summoned a newly forged sacred demonic artifact, directly unleashing it upon the Nine-Eyed Demon God.

Feeling the suppression of the sacred demonic artifact, the Nine-Eyed Demon God panicked.
This was no ordinary sacred demonic artifact. It was forged by Shui Miao based on the Skeleton Demon Emperor’s treasure, imbued with a death and decay array. Shui Miao had expended all the collected toxic mist and blood rain to forge it. But now, it was complete and ready for use.
“Boom!”
Shui Miao had no intention of engaging with the Nine-Eyed Demon God. Under another fierce attack from the Hong Yu Chessboard, the demon emperors within the Nine-Eyed Demon God were overwhelmed, vomiting blood and sustaining severe injuries.
With over a dozen demon emperors injured, the Nine-Eyed Demon God himself began to tremble violently.
He seemed to be waiting for Shui Miao’s response.
But Shui Miao had no intention of responding, only aiming for complete annihilation.
“Hum!”
The Void Annihilation Array activated again, and after several attacks, the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s hammers were finally rendered useless by the array’s damage.
However, the Nine-Eyed Demon God suddenly sneered, “Kid, is that all you’ve got? If you’re Xuan Kong’er’s disciple, you should know what treasures I possess. To kill me, you’ll have to break this treasure of mine. Otherwise, you’ll never kill me, not even in your next life. Once your crystals are depleted, it will be my turn to counterattack and kill you.”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God wasn’t boasting. He indeed possessed an exceptional treasure.
This treasure was the second most powerful artifact in the demon realm, known as the Void Escape Mirror. As the name suggests, it allowed him to instantly escape.
He was willing to endure severe injuries just to verify whether Shui Miao was Xuan Kong’er’s disciple.
This seemingly trivial piece of information was, in fact, closely tied to the fate of the demon realm.

From the memories of the Skeleton Demon Emperor, Shui Miao had learned much. Xuan Kong’er was a genius of the ages. Though he had disappeared, he left behind three super artifacts for the demon realm: the Substitute Mirror, the Void Escape Mirror, and the Ten Thousand Evils Gu.

Then, the Nine-Eyed Demon God summoned a pitch-black pagoda from his spatial realm, chanting incantations as it grew larger, attempting to capture Shui Miao within.
“Nine-Eyed Demon God, you’ve got me today, but I, Shui Miao, will return to settle this score!” Shui Miao suddenly vanished, abandoning the Hong Yu Chessboard and fleeing at top speed.
Seeing this, the celestial commander was stunned, “What just happened? How could he just run away?”
“Shui Miao, wait for me!”
Shui Tianyi, seeing Shui Miao flee, immediately gave chase.
“Huh?”
“What’s going on with this kid? Did he run out of crystals? How could he abandon the Hong Yu Chessboard, composed of supreme sacred artifacts?”
“This kid can’t be Xuan Kong’er’s disciple. Xuan Kong’er would never flee, nor would he have a disciple who runs away!”
Seeing Shui Miao abandon the Hong Yu Chessboard, the Nine-Eyed Demon God was shaken. He quickly seized the chessboard, attempting to subdue the spirits of the many sacred artifacts within and claim them for himself. But then he discovered that the Hong Yu Chessboard was empty—it was just a chessboard. All the sacred artifacts had been taken by Shui Miao!

The Nine-Eyed Demon God immediately concluded that Shui Miao was cornered. Without bothering to refine the chessboard, he moved it into his spatial realm and pursued Shui Miao relentlessly.
“Boom!”
Within a few breaths, the supreme sacred artifact chessboard within the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s spatial realm suddenly self-destructed!
“Haha, he fell for it!”
Shui Miao’s mind stirred, and he stopped his flight, turning back to look at the Nine-Eyed Demon God, who had crashed to the ground. This time, he was doomed!
“Boom!”
In mid-air, Shui Miao stood atop the Hong Yu Chessboard, looking down upon the horde of demons. He fully activated the power of all the sacred artifacts and the thirty-eight immortal emperor-level spirit weapons, instantly suppressing all the celestial and demonic soldiers, preventing them from advancing even half a step. The weaker soldiers at the forefront were directly overwhelmed by the aura, their souls scattered, and they perished instantly.
They had come to the celestial realm expecting a massacre.
Instead, they were the ones being annihilated.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God, being the strongest, bore the brunt of the pressure.
The once menacing giant blood python, upon seeing Shui Miao, immediately raised its head high, its massive crimson vertical pupils fixed intently on Shui Miao, adopting a highly alert posture, ready to attack at any moment.
“Are you the Nine-Eyed Demon God?”
Shui Miao narrowed his eyes, coldly staring at the monstrous giant before him. Under the immense pressure of Shui Miao’s aura, even the Nine-Eyed Demon God was struggling.
Moreover, Shui Miao’s voice boomed like a giant bell, and the sheer sound of it killed many of the weaker celestial and demonic soldiers. It was no joke—someone who could harness the power of thirty-eight immortal emperor-level spirit weapons was far beyond the concept of a mere human; he was akin to a supreme sacred artifact. Such terrifying power was naturally unbearable for the weaker demon soldiers.
“Kid, who exactly are you? Do you think you can stop us with just two treasures?”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God, who also harbored over a dozen demon emperors within him, roared incessantly. Suddenly, he swung his massive dual hammers together, and a flash of fire erupted. The terrifying shockwave instantly injured a large number of celestial soldiers.
“Whoosh!”
The giant blood python seized the opportunity, suddenly opening its massive maw to bite down on Shui Miao…
“Bang!”
Before the python could reach Shui Miao, it was repelled by an invisible defensive shield, sustaining some injuries in the process.
“Want to fight? Easy!”
With a thought from Shui Miao, the entire Hong Yu Chessboard activated. Thirty-six attack methods, led by the purple aura, were unleashed simultaneously. The sky was instantly filled with a kaleidoscope of radiant light. Large swathes of demonic soldiers were annihilated instantly, while the celestial soldiers bathed in the light, their cultivation greatly enhanced. Those who had been injured by the shockwave were fully healed, and some who were at a bottleneck in their cultivation even broke through to higher realms.
This was absolute annihilation.
Tens of thousands of demonic soldiers were wiped out. The giant blood python was also severely injured in the powerful attack. It wanted to flee, but it was immobilized. Its magic power boiled within it, completely out of control. To make matters worse, the Nightmare Heart Technique was still tormenting its mind, causing it to slowly succumb to annihilation in a dazed state.
For the giant blood python, if its master did not come to its rescue, death was inevitable.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God was also suffering, its situation similar to that of the giant blood python.
The Annihilation Array was repeatedly activated, further damaging the shields and some of the treasures on the Nine-Eyed Demon God and the giant blood python.
“Thud!”
The giant blood python’s once proudly raised head finally slammed heavily to the ground. After a few convulsions, its soul scattered, and it became a lifeless snake.
Within the Hong Yu Chessboard, half of the arrays were killing arrays.
Each killing array, when activated, was incredibly powerful.
But for the superpowers of the demon realm, the most terrifying was the purple aura. The blood python had already been injured by the purple aura, and now, with this additional blow, it naturally couldn’t withstand it. Death was inevitable.
“Kid, who exactly are you? Are you… are you the disciple of Xuan Kong’er?”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God’s massive body trembled under the radiant light. It was constantly channeling demonic energy to resist the attacks, while the demon emperors within it were desperately supplying it with power to withstand Shui Miao.
“Haha, guess!”
Shui Miao suddenly laughed and summoned a newly forged sacred demon artifact, directly unleashing it upon the Nine-Eyed Demon God.
“A sacred demon artifact!!”
“How is this possible? How could you possibly forge a sacred demon artifact? Are you really the disciple of Xuan Kong’er?”
Feeling the suppression of the sacred demon artifact, the Nine-Eyed Demon God panicked.
This was no ordinary sacred demon artifact. It was forged by Shui Miao based on the treasure of the Skeleton Demon Emperor. Within the artifact, Shui Miao had embedded the Death Withering Array. To forge this artifact, Shui Miao had expended all the collected toxic mist and blood rain. But now, the sacred demon artifact was complete and ready to be put to good use.
“Boom!”
Shui Miao had no intention of engaging with the Nine-Eyed Demon God. With another fierce attack from the Hong Yu Chessboard, the demon emperors within the Nine-Eyed Demon God couldn’t withstand it, all spitting blood and sustaining severe injuries.
With over a dozen demon emperors within him injured, the Nine-Eyed Demon God also began to falter, his body trembling violently.
The Nine-Eyed Demon God seemed to be waiting for Shui Miao’s response.
But Shui Miao had no intention of responding; his only thought was to annihilate the demon god completely.
“Hum!”
The Annihilation Array was activated once more. After several attacks, the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s dual hammers were finally rendered useless by the array’s damage.
However, the Nine-Eyed Demon God suddenly sneered, “Kid, is this all you’ve got? If you’re really the disciple of Xuan Kong’er, you should know what treasure I possess. To kill me, you must first destroy this treasure of mine. Otherwise, you’ll never be able to kill me, not even in your next life. Once your energy is depleted, it will be my turn to strike and annihilate you.”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God wasn’t boasting without reason. He indeed possessed an extraordinary treasure.
This treasure was the second most powerful artifact in the demon realm, known as the Void Escape Mirror. As the name suggested, it was a demonic mirror that allowed him to escape instantly.
He was willing to endure severe injuries just to verify whether Shui Miao was truly the disciple of Xuan Kong’er.
This information might seem trivial, but in reality, it was closely tied to the fate of the demon realm.
Originally, the demon realm was suppressed by the celestial court, constantly at a disadvantage. It wasn’t until the emergence of Xuan Kong’er that the demon realm rose to power and successfully controlled the celestial court. However, Xuan Kong’er suddenly disappeared, and the remaining powerful figures of the celestial court went into hiding. The demon realm lost its momentum to continue its conquest of the celestial court.
But now, the Nine-Eyed Demon God had discovered Shui Miao and directly suspected that Shui Miao was the disciple of Xuan Kong’er.
Xuan Kong’er had vanished without a trace, and despite searching the entire demon realm, no one could find him. The possibility that he had infiltrated the three realms of ghosts and gods was highly plausible.
Therefore, the Nine-Eyed Demon God had to verify Shui Miao’s identity.
If Shui Miao was indeed the disciple of Xuan Kong’er, the demon realm would spare no effort to annihilate him, even if it meant destroying the three realms and turning the world upside down.
“Haha…”
Shui Miao suddenly laughed, “In that case, let’s wait until I’ve exhausted all my energy.”
It was time to use other killing moves!
Shui Miao appeared indifferent on the surface, but he was immediately on guard.
From the memories of the Skeleton Demon Emperor, Shui Miao had learned much. Xuan Kong’er was a genius of the ages. Although he had disappeared, he had left three super artifacts for the demon realm: the Substitute Mirror, the Void Escape Mirror, and the Ten Thousand Evils Gu. These three super artifacts were mysterious and unpredictable, making them nearly impossible to defend against.
What Shui Miao feared most was naturally the Ten Thousand Evils Gu, ranked first among them.
As for the Nine-Eyed Demon God before him, Shui Miao was certain he possessed the Void Escape Mirror. The most powerful Ten Thousand Evils Gu was likely in the hands of the Demon Emperor Wu Yezi.
Shui Miao spoke casually, but his actions were swift and decisive.
The Hong Yu Chessboard continued to unleash fierce attacks, repeatedly injuring the Nine-Eyed Demon God.
Secretly, Shui Miao also intensified the activation of the Nightmare Heart Technique, further confusing and disorienting the Nine-Eyed Demon God, making him sluggish and slow to react.
“Fine! If you want to settle this with strength, then I’ll play with you today!”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God suddenly shook his body and consumed a large number of demonic sacred pills, instantly healing the over a dozen demon emperors within him and doubling their power. He himself was also instantly healed, his magic power restored and his demonic energy doubled! Immediately after, a massive cloud of toxic mist and yin energy erupted from the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s body, like a dark cloud suddenly appearing in a clear sky, growing larger and larger.
The radiant light from the Hong Yu Chessboard was struggling to suppress it!
“Roar!”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God suddenly let out an extremely terrifying roar. He released tens of thousands of elite demonic soldiers and numerous monsters from his spatial realm. He then swung his arms, hurling the destroyed dual hammers at the defensive array and the main hall of the celestial commander’s camp. Two loud explosions later, the defensive array was shattered, and the main hall of the commander’s camp was reduced to rubble.
The war drums fell silent, and the celestial soldiers under the commander’s command were thrown into chaos.
Immediately after, the Nine-Eyed Demon God summoned a pitch-black pagoda from his spatial realm, chanting incantations. The pagoda grew larger and larger, threatening to engulf Shui Miao.
“Nine-Eyed Demon God, today you’ve got the upper hand, but I, Shui Miao, will return to settle this score!” Shui Miao suddenly vanished, abandoning the Hong Yu Chessboard and fleeing at top speed.
Seeing this, the celestial commander was stunned, “What just happened? How could he just run away like that?”
“Shui Miao, wait for me!”
Shui Tianyi, seeing Shui Miao flee, immediately gave chase.
“Huh?”
“What’s going on with this kid? Did he run out of energy? How could he abandon the Hong Yu Chessboard, a supreme sacred artifact?”
“This kid definitely isn’t the disciple of Xuan Kong’er. Xuan Kong’er would never flee, and he would never have a disciple who runs away!”
Seeing Shui Miao abandon the Hong Yu Chessboard, the Nine-Eyed Demon God was shaken. He immediately seized the chessboard, attempting to subdue the spirits of the many sacred artifacts within it and claim them for himself. However, he soon discovered that the Hong Yu Chessboard was empty—it was just a chessboard. All the sacred artifacts had been taken by Shui Miao!
“Brat, so this is all you’ve got! Haha…”
The Nine-Eyed Demon God immediately concluded that Shui Miao was at his wit’s end. Without bothering to refine the chessboard, he quickly moved the Hong Yu Chessboard into his spatial realm and began pursuing Shui Miao relentlessly.
“Boom!”
Within three to five breaths, the supreme sacred artifact chessboard within the Nine-Eyed Demon God’s spatial realm suddenly self-destructed!
“Haha, he fell for it!”
Shui Miao, with a thought, immediately stopped his flight and turned back to look at the Nine-Eyed Demon God, who had crashed to the ground. This time, he was doomed!
“Hahaha! He fell for it!”
At a thought from Shui Miao, he immediately stopped fleeing, turned around, and looked back at the Nine-Eyed Demon God, who had crashed heavily to the ground. This time, he was surely finished!
