The thought had just crossed Jiang Wu Xu's mind.
But before he could dwell on it, a figure suddenly shot up from the massive crater below, standing in the void nearby.
It was the Demon Attendant!
Amid a series of crackling sounds, his twisted bones and face gradually realigned.
Yet his aura fluctuated wildly, his robes soaked in demonic blood, his injuries severe!
His standing form was slightly hunched, his face deathly pale.
"My lord!"
Seeing his state, dozens of red-robed Saint Ancestors from the Eternal Blood Prison couldn't help but feel alarmed, quickly surrounding him.
A Quasi-Emperor, reduced to such a condition.
He likely didn't even retain a tenth of his original strength!
"How could this be?"
"Su Qingshuang… she really isn't weakened!"
Many of the red-robed figures couldn't believe their eyes.
Su Qingshuang had just given birth to the Emperor's child, yet she remained so terrifying.
It defied comprehension!
At this point, they could all confirm one thing—Su Qingshuang had truly returned to her full strength!
At this moment, she possessed the complete combat power of a Heavenly Emperor!
The Demon Attendant found this outcome the hardest to accept.
His eyes glared hatefully at Su Qingshuang, filled with venom and malice.
"Su Qingshuang! I don't know how you avoided the weakening period, but don't get too smug just yet!"
"One day, my master will return in person and take your head himself!"
"You've occupied the Heavenly Emperor's throne for centuries—it's time to step aside!"
"My master is the one truly destined by fate!"
The Demon Attendant gritted his teeth, speaking coldly.
His gaze seemed as if it wanted to devour Su Qingshuang whole.
Hearing his words, Jiang Yuqiong in his swaddle flailed about furiously.
"This jerk is way too arrogant!"
"Come over here if you dare—I'll bash your brains out!"
Jiang Yuqiong screeched.
He couldn't stand it anymore!
This Quasi-Emperor was clearly being dominated by his mom, yet he still dared to act so cocky!
It was intolerable!
But no one could understand what Jiang Yuqiong was saying.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, as soon as the Demon Attendant finished speaking, the skull floating nearby began to tremble violently, emitting a brilliant light before vanishing into the void, only to reappear before him.
"Go!"
The Demon Attendant barked a command.
Without needing further instruction, the dozens of red-robed figures moved in unison.
Each transformed into a streak of blood-colored light, following him into the seven orifices of the lustrous jade-like skull.
They all knew full well that today's mission was destined to end in failure!
The facts were undeniable—no one could change them!
In the blink of an eye, dozens of figures had entered the skull and vanished.
"These jerks are trying to escape!"
"Kill them quick!"
Jiang Yuqiong shouted again, frantic with urgency.
No reminder was needed—the members of the Holy Lands and Great Sects reacted instantly.
"Stop them!"
"These demonic scum! We can't let them get away!"
"Fiends, stay and pay for my junior brother's life!"
"Kill!"
In an instant, the Saint Ancestors roared in unison.
In today's battle, many of their comrades had fallen to the Eternal Blood Prison.
With the enemy now on the back foot, no one would let them escape unscathed!
Suddenly, over twenty sacred artifacts glowed, their divine might radiating as they unleashed a ferocious assault on the skull!
"Rumble!"
The void emitted a terrifying tremor, shaking violently.
Holy might surged, filling every inch of space, annihilating everything!
Yet suddenly, a wave of rolling demonic energy erupted from the skull.
A horrifying fluctuation rippled through the void, as if a demonic god were grinning malevolently.
Black mist rose, shrouding the skull.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
With a series of earth-shaking blasts,
The dozens of sacred artifacts seemed to pierce the heavens and earth, blasting a massive black hole where the skull had been, swallowing the sky and slaying the ground!
Shattered energy surged like a tidal wave, roaring into the ninth heaven!
But the Saint Ancestors' hearts sank in unison.
They all realized their attacks had struck nothing.
They hadn't inflicted the slightest harm on the Eternal Blood Prison's forces.
Under everyone's gazes, the skull's trace had vanished from that spot.
It had slipped into the void, carrying the Demon Attendant and dozens of powerful Saint Ancestors far away.
"Damn it!"
"They got away!"
The strong individuals cursed loudly, filled with frustration.
But just then, a woman's voice echoed through the void.
"Do you think my Xuanshuang Grotto-Heaven is a place you can come and go as you please?"
Her words were icy and domineering, carrying supreme authority.
It was none other than the Frost Emperor.
She stood in the air, like an immortal descending to the mortal realm, as if ready to ride the wind away.
"Heavenly Frost!"
With a wave of her hand, a longsword materialized in the void!
The blade was pure white, outshining frost and snow.
Upon its appearance, it brought a terrifyingly frigid wave, freezing everything for ten thousand miles.
It was as if the three thousand worlds would turn to ice sculptures under this Heavenly Frost Sword!
The strong individuals from the Holy Lands and Great Sects shivered in unison, trembling uncontrollably.
Su Qingshuang raised the Heavenly Frost Sword and slashed fiercely at the void!
"Crack!"
With a sound like tearing fabric, the heavens and earth split apart!
A narrow spatial rift stretched upward to the ninth heaven and downward to the underworld!
Stars fell from beyond the ninth heaven, severed by the strike!
And within that pitch-black spatial passage, a crystalline jade-like glow flickered, fleeing at high speed!
Wasn't that the Eternal Blood Prison's demonic treasure?!
"In my presence, how can you escape!"
With these domineering words, Su Qingshuang reached out with one delicate hand.
That seemingly frail, boneless jade palm pierced through the spatial rift, spanning tens of thousands of miles.
With a gentle grasp, it seized the skull.
A slight tug brought it back to Xuanshuang Grotto-Heaven.
This scene sent chills down the spines of the many strong individuals present, their bodies trembling with awe!
"My mom is just… just too strong!"
In Grandmother Xi's arms, Jiang Yuqiong's eyes widened like bronze bells.
He had truly witnessed the terror of a Heavenly Emperor!
A sword strike that split the heavens and earth, felling great stars!
A hand reaching out, seizing an imperial weapon from tens of thousands of miles away!
Such divine might left people trembling in fear.
And under the horrified gazes of all present, Su Qingshuang didn't stop.
She brought the skull before her.
Extending a finger, she tapped it lightly.
"Thud!"
It was as if a demonic god struck a drum, the sound shaking the world!
"AAHHH!!!"
Amid a cacophony of chaotic screams, the skull burst with blood-red light, staining the void crimson.
One after another, red-robed figures tumbled out of the skull.
Each one's aura wavered, unable to stand steady.
Seeing Su Qingshuang before them, they fled in panic to the distance.
Moments later, a disheveled silver-robed figure fell out.
Before he could react, Su Qingshuang grabbed him in her hand.
"You've come—how can you not leave your life behind?"
Su Qingshuang's chilling words rang out again.
Her other hand gripped the Heavenly Frost Sword.
"AAHHH!"
The Demon Attendant wailed, his face full of terror.
Under the overwhelming tide of a Heavenly Emperor's divine power, he couldn't move an inch.
"Su Qingshuang, you dare kill me!"
"My master will never let you off!"
He shouted in desperation.
"Master?"
Su Qingshuang sneered coldly.
"Forget that you're just a dog!"
"Even if your master came in person, how would he dare challenge my authority!"
Her words were icy as she grabbed the Demon Attendant by the hair, lifting him like a chick.
Her other hand held the Heavenly Frost Sword!
The razor-sharp blade slashed across the Demon Attendant's throat!
