Chapter 463: World Rift Within

The Fiery Dragon Demon Saint unleashed a second punch, and the world membrane twisted, developing numerous cracks.

"Just as I predicted, three punches should be enough to shatter the first layer of the world membrane." The Fiery Dragon Demon Saint hovered above the ocean, enveloped in flames, poised to deliver a third punch. At that very moment, it saw a middle-aged man appear out of thin air.

"Li Guan?"

The Fiery Dragon Demon Saint's heart instantly turned cold.

Li Guan, who had trained for countless years and was secretly revered as the strongest in the world?

For a moment, it was stunned.

"Rumble." After Li Guan appeared, he reached out and grabbed.

The Fiery Dragon Demon Saint immediately sensed that the surrounding space was being seized by a massive hand. It could clearly see the lines on the palm and the wrinkles on the finger joints. This 'world' spanning dozens of miles became a plaything in the giant hand's grasp. As the massive hand tightened its grip, the 'small world' it held rapidly collapsed. In despair, the Fiery Dragon Demon Saint unleashed a punch, attempting to shatter this confined space.

Boom! The Fiery Dragon Demon Saint managed to deliver only that one frantic punch, yet it couldn't budge the massive hand in the slightest. The giant hand closed completely.

"No!!!" The Fiery Dragon Demon Saint's eyes were filled with despair and unwillingness. It looked up as the giant hand tightened its grip, and under the terrifying pressure of spatial force, it was utterly crushed into dust, including its primordial spirit.

That small world was completely pulverized.

The Fiery Dragon Demon Saint, trapped within that small world like an insect in amber, was crushed along with the entire space.

Even in death, the Fiery Dragon Demon Saint couldn't comprehend how Li Guan, the Human Race's Creation Realm Venerable, had appeared.

It had chosen this spot to break through the world membrane, knowing only it was aware of this location. It had even scouted the surrounding three hundred miles beforehand, confirming no gods or demons were present before acting.

How could Li Guan suddenly appear?

"Well done."

"Brilliantly executed."

The Creation Realm Venerables from Black Sand Grotto-Heaven and Two World Island, who had been observing from afar, were greatly encouraged by the elimination of a Possessing Demon Saint.

"To appear out of thin air... I wonder if it was an ambush or if he possesses a method for traversing the void," Meng Tiange remarked.

"Even if he has a way to cross the void, he likely can't use it a second time, because Yuanchu Mountain hasn't stopped the other Demon Saint," Bai Yaoyue said gravely, looking at the Heaven-Peering Mirror. "The other Demon Saint, Chongxuan, has already broken through the human world membrane and is about to enter the world gap."

Chongxuan Demon Saint attacked with full force.

Especially after sensing the Fiery Dragon Demon Saint's death through its token, it maniacally hacked with its long saber: "Fiery Dragon is dead? Quick, quick, break through!!!"

It furiously slashed at the shimmering world gap membrane, which was slightly weaker than the human world membrane. With just two strikes, it was violently torn open, revealing the scenery on the other side of the fissure.

"Go!" The instant the rift opened, Chongxuan Demon Saint immediately darted into it. It was afraid that if it delayed even a moment, it would be killed by the humans.

Li Guan, possessing a sect's guardian secret treasure, could casually unleash an attack at the Emperor level. In a critical moment, he could use his full power, as evidenced by his one-hit kill of the Fiery Dragon Demon Saint.

Qin Wu and Luo Tang were not surprised by this at all.

At that moment, they were watching another scene reflected in mid-air: Chongxuan Demon Saint had completely cut through two layers of world membrane and swiftly darted inside.

"Chongxuan Demon Saint has entered the world gap," both Qin Wu's and Luo Tang's ethereal figures said with some urgency.

"Unfortunately, we only have one Void Transference Talisman," Qin Wu's ethereal figure said. "If we had two, Chongxuan Demon Saint wouldn't have escaped."

"Now it's up to Meng Chuan and the others," Luo Tang's ethereal figure stated solemnly.

They could not afford to lose this battle.

Although there was a 'world-ending' method, it would cause billions of people in the world to perish. This would be a lifelong, indelible disgrace for every surviving god and demon on Yuanchu Mountain!

Meng Chuan, King Zhenwu, King Qianmu, and the others were all determined to intercept, even if it meant fighting to the death, unwilling to reach the 'world-ending' stage.

"We cannot lose this battle," Meng Chuan said, sitting cross-legged and holding an ancient black mirror. "Can Master and the Venerables successfully intercept them?"

"Hmm?"

Meng Chuan's expression subtly changed.

He sensed fluctuations from a distant attack on the world membrane.

Through the mirror in his hand, he immediately projected the sensed area.

"Boom." He could see the void in that area twisting, clearly indicating an external impact.

"There it is."

Meng Chuan didn't hesitate.

Instantly, he activated the Bloodblade Disc beneath his feet. Silver secret patterns appeared on both sides of Meng Chuan's forehead, strands of silver lightning flickered around his head, and his eyes glowed with silver lightning.

His divine ability 'Flowing Sand' instantly erupted, and his speed soared to its peak.

He was giving it his all!

After his 'Cloud Mist Dragon Serpent Movement Technique' reached the Grotto-Heaven realm, Meng Chuan could cover two hundred and eighty miles in a single flash when employing this Grotto-Heaven realm movement technique of the Lightning lineage. Such speed was already heavily suppressed by the world's natural laws. Only the Grotto-Heaven realm's laws could, to some extent, resist these natural laws to achieve such a burst of speed. If he were to reach the 'Heaven-Earth realm', his own Heaven-Earth laws would be able to completely withstand external suppression, allowing his speed to reach unimaginable levels.

As for now? Normally, he could cover two hundred and eighty miles in a single flash. With the Bloodblade Disc, it only increased to three hundred and twenty miles.

The higher the speed, the stronger the suppression from the world's natural laws.

"Boom."

Under the 'Flowing Sand' divine ability, Meng Chuan burst forth, covering three thousand two hundred miles in a single flash, terrifyingly streaking across the sky directly towards the point where the world membrane was being struck.

While flying at super-high speed, Meng Chuan held the black mirror, dedicating a sliver of his attention to the image reflected within it.

In the mirror.

Through the distorted spatial membrane, he could see a black long saber suddenly cleaving through it, creating a large fissure, and a figure swiftly darted inside.

Meng Chuan instantly recognized this figure.

"It's Chongxuan Demon Saint."

"I still need one more breath to get there," Meng Chuan thought, rushing at full speed. "It can't escape far in just one breath."

For this battle, Yuanchu Mountain had prepared several treasures, which Meng Chuan and King Zhenwu carried with them, as Yuanchu Mountain trusted their strength the most.

Chongxuan Demon Saint slipped through the crack in the world membrane and entered the world gap. "Success!" it exclaimed, a joyful expression spreading across its face.

The human world was too dangerous.

Upon reaching the world gap, the danger level immediately dropped significantly.

"Buzz."

Just as Chongxuan Demon Saint landed, the void beside it twisted, and a black-robed, dragon-headed elder appeared out of thin air. It was Ancestor Poison Dragon.

"Chongxuan Demon Saint," Ancestor Poison Dragon grinned, and with a wave of his hand.

Whoosh—

Nearly two hundred Fifth-Heaven Demon Kings instantly appeared around them, including Peacock Monarch and Threads Saint Lord.

"Rumble." The nearly two hundred Fifth-Heaven Demon Kings, very skillfully, deployed formations according to their plan. Instantly, three powerful formations heavily protected Chongxuan Demon Saint.

"The Ancestral Demon Cave only has five Void Transference Talismans. The three of us collectively expended considerable merit to retrieve just one," Peng Emperor said calmly in the Ice Palace. "As long as either Chongxuan Demon Saint or Fiery Dragon Demon Saint enters the demon race's ranks, they can use the Void Transference Talisman to immediately rendezvous with them and ensure their heavy protection."

"I've never even used a Void Transference Talisman myself," Emperor Xinghe laughed. "Yet now, a Fifth-Heaven Demon King has used it first."

"As long as we obtain Ancestor Cangyuan's treasure, it's all worth it," Peng Emperor stated.

The Void Transference Talisman's transference range was actually very wide.

Formation suppression?

Void lockdown?

The world's natural suppression?

The Void Transference Talisman virtually ignored all suppression, offering an extremely long escape distance. It was a single-use treasure. Its value was equivalent to a 'Sixth-Tribulation Realm' level secret weapon, and it was even rarer. Even with the demon world's profound heritage, there were only five Void Transference Talismans. The 'Ancestral Demon Cave' imposed restrictions on each generation of demon emperors, preventing them from wantonly squandering the ancestral demons' accumulated wealth.

This ensured its transmission from generation to generation.

"Hmm?" Empress Xuanyue sensed something and excitedly said with a smile, "Chongxuan Demon Saint has entered the world gap and has already rendezvoused with the demon forces."

"I see it too," Peng Emperor nodded slightly.
