Chapter 1612

Mangshan Demon Palace's demon beasts all fled in disorder, fleeing far from Mangshan Demon Palace; upon Bai Qing Shuang's order, the other Demon Kings also set out, and the demon commanders and demon beasts below followed suit—under threat to their lives, they dared not linger nor defy the command, and quickly departed.

One misstep and you'll be slain by the heavenly tribulation; this tribulation is already over—Diewumeng's human and beast tribulations have passed, leaving only the final heavenly tribulation. Survive it and you reach the Tribulation Realm; this step is already at the threshold—hold fast and you succeed.

Other demon beasts cannot help her; they must rely on her to face the tribulation alone. At this stage, they become a burden, drawing the heavenly tribulation's focus, becoming part of it and being annihilated.

The first corpse general, Jiang Tiansheng, tried to act, raising his hand several times but stopping each time; the second corpse general and the red-eyed corpse general had already withdrawn from the scene. The surviving disciples of the Corpse Refining Sect were few, having already left; after Bai Qing Shuang gave her order, they departed, unwilling to linger and become cannon fodder.

"How unwilling I am—just one step away, Diewumeng is about to be killed, yet he..."

"Damn it, damn it, it's all that damned Bai Qing Shuang, ahhh."

Jiang Tiansheng was furious, his heart filled with rage; just one step away, if Diewumeng advances into the Tribulation Realm, she will act against him, at which point the pressure on the Corpse Refining Sect will double—undoubtedly a death sentence—and Jiang Tiansheng does not want the Corpse Refining Sect to become the target of public criticism.

But his unwillingness changes nothing—this battle can no longer continue; once the heavenly tribulation locks onto him, he cannot escape, it's a dead end.

But having paid such a price, the Blue-eyed Corpse King was exposed, and it devoured so much of his essence and blood, gaining nothing—not even the promised sacrifice for the Blue-eyed Corpse King. Once he returns, the Blue-eyed Corpse King will go mad and backlash against him.

Such consequences are beyond his endurance. Thinking of this, Jiang Tiansheng clenched his fists, wanting to sate the Blue-eyed Corpse King, but it's neither easy nor simple. Yet staying put, given his current state, is no different from death; once the Blue-eyed Corpse King breaks free of its bonds, resealing it will be difficult.

"Phew, forget it—I should also leave; I can't die pointlessly here." Jiang Tiansheng finally decided to leave, quickly forming seals with both hands to forcibly seal the Blue-eyed Corpse King, then produced a coffin and placed the Blue-eyed Corpse King inside; though it resisted violently, he ultimately succeeded in sealing it.

After the coffin stabilized, Jiang Tiansheng said, "Rest assured, when I return I will definitely find a way to feed you."

Upon hearing Jiang Tiansheng's words, the Blue-eyed Corpse King inside the coffin stabilized, no longer arguing or resisting.

Jiang Tiansheng breathed a sigh of relief, immediately put away the coffin, turned and left.

"Boom—"

The thunderclap shook, the lightning dragon expanded once more—this strike was prepared to kill Diewumeng.

Diewumeng withdrew her gaze and coldly said, "Jiang Tiansheng, I thought you wouldn't fear death, but I didn't expect you to still be afraid."

"What a pity—you missed your last chance, Corpse Refining Sect; I will remember you."

She looked into the distance; Lan Tiansheng led a group of demon beasts in pursuing the Mu Long family, relentlessly chasing them without relent.

The Mu Long family fled in panic, rushing to leave the Mangshan Mountain Range, unwilling to continue fighting Lan Tiansheng to the bitter end; this battle had already been lost, this operation had failed.

"And the Mu Long family—hah, after scheming against me time and again, trying to kill me, this debt will eventually be repaid a hundredfold."

She withdrew her gaze, locking her eyes onto the lightning dragon.

Diewumeng took a deep breath: "The final heavenly tribulation, also the most terrifying one—once I survive it, my advancement will be complete."

If she fails, she will fall.

Diewumeng had long prepared herself mentally; she spread her body, revealing her true form once more—a vast butterfly, wings unfurled. As the wings fluttered, countless pollen grains scattered into the sky, attaching to the lightning dragon's head, then instantly exploding.

"Boom—"

"Boom—rumble"

The explosion sounds continued without cease; in an instant, the sky was filled with explosions.

Beneath the explosions was Lan Tiansheng's frantic voice.

"Heh heh heh, you can't escape, you scum of the Mu Long family—you can't flee; I will slaughter you all, dare to invade my Mangshan Demon Palace, you must die."

After killing a person, that person's body was swallowed whole, becoming Lan Tiansheng's food.

The surrounding ground turned into a sea of Blue Heartgrass; the swaying Blue Heartgrass drifted in the wind, each tremor carrying… intense killing intent, many Mu Long family disciples died, slain by ambushes from these Blue Heartgrass.

A pack of demon beasts surrounded them; Lan Tiansheng handled the ambushes, with a high success rate—eight out of ten attempts succeeded.

Except for Mu Long Neng and Mu Long Wenlong, who reacted and avoided his ambush, everyone else, without exception, was killed outright.

"Mu Long Wenlong, run—keep running."

"Hmph, you can't escape."

"Everything around is my territory; if you leave nothing behind, don't even think about fleeing."

As for Diewumeng's side, he needs neither to worry nor to help.

Now, that side has achieved a substantive breakthrough; Diewumeng is indeed not simple, having successfully deceived everyone. Lan Tiansheng long knew Diewumeng's capabilities and knew she wouldn't be easily killed—the facts prove he was right.

From the start, he hadn't worried about Diewumeng, but he still kept an eye on that side; if the situation turned unfavorable, he would immediately abandon hunting the Mu Long family and turn to help—yet there was no need for him to turn back and help.

He could focus on dealing with Mu Long Wenlong and Mu Long Neng right before him; if he didn't kill them, Lan Tiansheng would not relent.

"Heh heh heh, you humans, constantly probing my limits—this time I won't let you leave alive."

"Go die."

"Void Blade Formation."

All the Blue Heartgrass now turned into sharp blades, standing upright, flashing cold light, then cutting wildly.

Anyone who entered the blade formation became its prey.

"Ah—"

"No!"

Whether disciples of the Mu Long family or their demon beasts, at this moment they were all pulverized, becoming part of the Void Blade Formation; blood-red stained the earth, staining the Blue Heartgrass, which absorbed the flesh and blood, growing sharper and more frenzied.

Lan Tiansheng commanded all the Blue Heartgrass to cut down Mu Long Wenlong and Mu Long Neng, the Elders, not allowing them to leave; within a radius of several kilometers, the Blue Heartgrass formed a sea, leaving no one able to escape—whether hidden persons or other demon beasts, all became nourishment for the earth.

This move's purpose was to kill all humans.

Lan Tiansheng watched this scene, his smile growing thicker.

"Hahaha"
