123: All cards were played to defeat the demon general.

The moment that aura awakened within Chu He's body, the entire world seemed to stand still.

Baal, who had been frantically attacking the City Protecting Grand Array, suddenly froze. The madness in his blood-red demon eyes faded, replaced by an extreme terror and... confusion originating from the deepest depths of his Soul.

He felt like an ant showing off its power, only to suddenly discover that the object of its provocation was a Primordial Divine Dragon that had just opened its eyes from a long slumber!

What kind of aura was that?

Dominant, majestic, ancient, and holy... it was as if it stood above all the Laws of the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms, the ultimate manifestation of life itself!

In the face of this aura, the "Pseudo-Void Refining" Realm he had just forcibly attained through the "blood of the demon god" seemed like a massive joke, as lowly as dust.

"Im... impossible..." Baal's voice trembled. He couldn't understand how a native at the Nascent Soul Stage could possibly hide such terrifying power within his body.

This completely exceeded the scope of his cognition!

Not just him, but all the powerhouses on the Xuanhuang Continent who were watching this battle were also stunned at this moment.

"He... he got stronger again?"

"This pressure... I feel like my Nascent Soul is about to shatter! This is definitely the true Soul Transformation Realm—no, it's even more terrifying than the records of the Ascended ancestors in my Sect's ancient texts!"

"Who... who exactly is he?!"

Under countless gazes filled with absolute horror, a ten-thousand-foot-long phantom of a golden divine Dragon slowly emerged behind Chu He.

This phantom was no longer blurry as before, but had become incredibly solid. Every dragon scale flickered with golden divine radiance, and as the Dragon's eyes opened and closed, it seemed as if suns and moons were being born and extinguished within them.

A wave of pure Dragon Might swept across the starry Universe!

"You are honored to witness my true power."

Chu He's voice was calm, yet it resounded in the depths of Baal's Soul like a judgment from the Heavenly Dao.

He slowly raised his right hand and made a grasping motion toward Baal from a distance.

"The final form of the Nine Revolutions Tyrant Dragon Art..."

"Dragon Dominates the World!"

"Roar—!!!"

A dragon roar powerful enough to shatter stars erupted from the mouth of that ten-thousand-foot divine Dragon!

The next moment, the golden divine Dragon moved!

Its massive body transformed into a golden torrent that pierced through heaven and earth. Ignoring the constraints of space, it slammed into the stunned Baal at a speed exceeding light!

"No!!!"

The shadow of death completely enveloped Baal.

He let out a desperate roar, frantically channeling all the demon god power within him to form a massive shield constructed of countless demon runes in front of him. At the same time, the bone wings on his back snapped shut, wrapping around him in layers.

He used every ounce of his strength for one final defense!

However, all of this was futile in the face of the absolute power of "Dragon Dominates the World."

BOOM!!!

The golden torrent and that dark-gold demon body collided with a bang!

There was no world-shaking explosion as imagined, nor was there a world-destroying energy storm.

At the moment of contact, a zone of absolute "nothingness" appeared.

In that area, light was swallowed, sound was erased, and even the Laws of space completely collapsed, forming a constantly spinning and expanding pitch-black singularity, like a scar on the Universe.

The demon god body Baal took pride in and his final defense couldn't even last a single breath under the impact of that golden divine Dragon. Like paper, it dissolved inch by inch from the outside in, turning into the most primitive particles.

"I... am not reconciled..."

In the moment before his body was completely annihilated, Baal's Demon Soul only had time to send out one last message filled with regret and fear before being completely dispersed by that domineering Dragon Might.

The singularity slowly dissipated, and the Void Realm returned to calm, as if nothing had ever happened.

That arrogant Seventh Demon General, Baal, along with his temporary power comparable to the Void Refining Stage, simply... disappeared.

Both body and Soul were extinguished.

However, Chu He's brow twitched.

In the final moment of the collision just now, he had keenly captured a trace of an extremely weak Soul fluctuation.

He snorted coldly and suddenly reached out toward that patch of void!

"Thinking of running?"

Space instantly froze. A giant golden hand condensed from the power of Laws reached directly into the void and forcibly plucked out a dark-gold light orb the size of a fist, which was trembling violently.

That was exactly the trace of a remnant soul that Baal had barely managed to preserve at the last moment by sacrificing ninety-nine percent of his Origin!

The light orb struggled fiercely, transmitting thoughts of begging for mercy.

Chu He's gaze was icy, without the slightest hint of pity.

He looked at this remnant soul as if looking at an object.

"Your Soul is still of some use to my son."

After speaking, he flicked several golden runes from his fingertips, forming a complex Seal that completely imprisoned the remnant soul before tossing it into his storage space.

Having finished this, Chu He slowly turned around.

The ten-thousand-foot-long golden divine Dragon phantom circled and roared behind him, intimidating the Nine Heavens and ten earths.

His gaze, cold and indifferent, crossed the vast distance and landed on the remaining eleven Demon Race warships.

The demons inside those warships had long been scared out of their wits by the god-like battle just now.

When they met Chu He's gaze, every Devil Head felt as if their Souls were frozen.

"Next."

Chu He's thin lips opened slightly, spitting out two words that drove all the Demon Race to despair.
