Chapter 1088

Su Han said nothing, striding boldly toward Ba Yunzi, Bai Hu Zi, and Alteir.

...... The center of Tu Shan.

Black demonic qi continuously spread outward from the ancient array diagram at the center.

Anything that touched this black mist was completely eroded—plants and trees withered, streams turned to stagnant water upon contact, and life turned to dry bones.

"Welcome, Lord Demon God!"

The Black Fox Lady's face glowed with excitement as she stared at the scene before her, kneeling on one knee and bowing deeply toward the ancient array diagram.

The rows of black shadows behind the Black Fox Lady also bowed their heads, showing profound reverence.

After a brief silence, a tall figure stepped slowly out from within.

He appeared to be fifty or sixty years old, his hair white, his expression blank.

His pupils were pitch black.

Endless black mist continuously radiated from his body.

"Thousands of years—I've lost count of how many millennia I've waited... Why only now are you releasing me?"

Xi Menye suddenly turned toward the Black Fox Lady.

The Black Fox Lady let out a piercing scream, aging decades in an instant, nearly collapsing to the ground, her voice trembling.

"Your Majesty! We have given everything to save you."

"But the array diagram laid down by those who sacrificed their lives was too powerful! Had it not been for today's period of weakness in the diagram, we could not have rescued you."

"That's just an excuse!"

Xi Menye sneered, flicking his sleeve and striking the Black Fox Lady away, "But since you freed me, I'll spare your life!"

The Black Fox Lady reluctantly stood far away and bowed again to Xi Menye, uttering not a word of complaint.

Even though Xi Menye treated her this way, the Black Fox Lady dared not, and could not, harbor even a trace of resentment.

Because she understood the power Xi Menye possessed.

With Xi Menye's intervention, the so-called Inner Circle would be utterly powerless; the day when Outer Circle beings would rise to supremacy would return.

For this reason, even if Xi Menye was cruel and violent, she could accept it.

Far away.

"...... Lord Wangquan, how much power can you still wield?"

Huan Du Qingtian's frame was hunched, his face pale, coughing incessantly.

"...... If I push myself to the limit—I can unleash three strikes!"

Wangquan Baye leaned on the Wangquan Sword, gasping heavily, his side bearing a comical mask, his eyes filled with exhaustion and depth.

He forced himself to stand.

Clenching the Wangquan Sword in his hand, his life force flowed continuously into the sword.

"This battle admits no failure. May our ancestors protect us."

Wangquan Baye let out a low roar and swung his sword.

Wangquan Baye activated the Wangquan Sword Intent.

The Wangquan Sword is the number-one treasure of the Fox Spirit Xiao Hongniang world, called the Number-One Sword.

It has been nurtured for generations by the Wangquan Clan, the foremost family of the Yiqi Dao Alliance.

Its power has long since reached its peak.

But wielding this sword is by no means easy.

Even someone as strong as Wangquan Baye, the Wangquan Clan Lord, must expend his own life force to unleash its full power.

"No wonder you're the Wangquan Clan Lord! I can't slack off either."

Huan Du Qingtian stared grimly into the distance, clapping his hands together, fully activating the Ten Thousand Toxins Scripture, channeling all his strength to launch a punch forward.

..............."Ten Thousand Toxins Shocking Heaven Fist!"

Terrifying toxic energy surged outward with a boom, wrapped in the Wangquan Sword Intent capable of shattering all things.

This was a terrifying attack capable of slicing the earth, collapsing mountains, and pulverizing clouds in the sky.

"Wangquan Baye... and the Poison Emperor? I didn't expect you to reach this point."

Xi Menye's gaze flickered slightly, as if recalling something.

Yet immediately afterward, his expression remained blank; he did not activate any Famen, merely drawing upon the immense, primordial power within him—accumulated from countless demon spirits and human cultivators he had devoured.

Then he threw a punch.

"Boom—!"

The void shattered; the Wangquan Sword Intent and the Ten Thousand Toxins Shocking Heaven Fist were instantly torn apart.

The terrifying punch aura ripped through the void, carrying a force capable of annihilating everything, surging toward Huan Du Qingtian and Wangquan Baye.

"...... So this is what Laozu fought against?"

Wangquan Baye stared blankly at the scene.

He simply could not imagine how powerful the opponent was.

The Wangquan Sword Intent had been torn apart by a casual punch.

As he prepared to meet death, a sound like shattering glass rang out.

"...... Kong Zhen!"

Huan Du Qingtian sharply turned his head and saw a seven-meter-tall giant stepping out of the void.

Bai Hu Zi laughed loudly and threw a punch—the entire void shattered.

The terrifying fist force, wrapped in fragments of the broken void, collided head-on with the incoming punch.

The earth trembled, cracked open, and boulders flew through the air.

The terrain changed.

At the same time, the clouds above the heavens were instantly torn apart.
