The killing intent of the strong individuals from the Holy Lands and Great Sects surged like a roaring tide, crashing toward the heavens!
After giving birth to the Emperor's child, the Frost Emperor had returned to full strength!
The once-dominant Eternal Blood Prison was crushed in an instant!
Even though Xue Honglou before them was a half-step Heavenly Emperor, he couldn't stir any waves in her presence—the Frost Emperor could suppress him with a mere flick of her hand!
Yet across from her, the purple-haired, red-eyed man stood in midair, unmoving and unshaken.
His demeanor was scornful, showing not the slightest trace of fear.
Su Qingshuang and Jiang Wu Xu were filled with helpless sorrow.
They knew the crowd spoke the truth.
Brother Xue… he truly couldn't turn back!
"Brother Xue, surrender yourself!"
"Don't force me to act!"
Su Qingshuang's lips parted slightly as she spoke.
But this only elicited another burst of wild laughter from Xue Honglou.
"HAHAHAHA…"
"Su Qingshuang, you overestimate yourself!"
"Even the Death Forbidden Zone couldn't bury me—do you think you can kill me?"
His words sent a chill through the crowd.
The Death Forbidden Zone!
One of the most terrifying life-forbidden regions in the Desolate Realm!
Not to mention ordinary cultivators.
Even Heavenly Emperors dared not venture into it lightly!
That place was rife with countless perils and evils, every step a danger!
Who knew how many had perished there!
Ancient legends told of a Heavenly Emperor-level being who, many years ago, ventured deep into the Death Forbidden Zone to uncover its secrets.
But in the end, they never emerged!
Back then, when Xue Honglou was hunted across the world, he too had fled into the Death Forbidden Zone.
Yet not only did he not die—he had now returned alive!
What had Xue Honglou experienced in those centuries?!
As the crowd reeled in shock, a boundless scarlet light suddenly erupted from Xue Honglou's body!
A stench of blood filled the air!
Terrifying power transformed into ferocious dark dragons and hellish blood phoenixes, roaring and screeching, their cries shaking the heavens!
"Su Qingshuang, you've escaped me today!"
"But one day, I'll return again and take back the Heavenly Emperor's throne that belongs to me!"
Xue Honglou's words were fierce, his expression wild!
As he spoke, a world-destroying force surged from him!
Before him, a narrow spatial rift appeared.
Xue Honglou stepped forward, about to cross into it.
"He's escaping!"
"Frost Emperor, make your decision!"
"No more hesitation!"
Jian Lingtian, Emperor Batian, He Mengchang, Chu Feixian, and others shouted urgently.
They couldn't let Xue Honglou escape freely here today!
Otherwise, the Three Thousand Dao Domains would never know peace!
Countless lives would face a blood-soaked calamity!
Su Qingshuang, of course, understood this!
Without needing their urging, she had already acted.
With a flicker, her figure soared like a divine phoenix from the ninth heaven!
A ferocious Heavenly Emperor's majesty crashed down like ten thousand mountains, blanketing this world!
The vast sky was enveloped by her Heavenly Emperor's Domain, becoming the most terrifying fortress imaginable!
"Brother Xue, don't blame me!"
Su Qingshuang's voice rang out.
The Heavenly Frost Sword in her hand vibrated fiercely, emitting a resonant hum as a chilling aura spread across the cosmos in an instant!
At that moment, everything between heaven and earth was coated in thick frost, pristine and flawless.
Even the blazing sun above cast a cold, pale light!
The lips, noses, eyelids, and hair of the many Saint Ancestors sprouted icicles!
The spatial rift before Xue Honglou froze over with frost, solidifying in place!
The cold seeped in, nearly turning everyone into ice statues!
"Frost Fills the Sky!"
"One of the Frost Emperor's strongest divine techniques—she's going all out!"
The crowd was utterly shocked.
Facing a half-step Heavenly Emperor, the Frost Emperor unleashed her full power.
Clearly, she wouldn't let Xue Honglou escape!
Under everyone's gaze, Su Qingshuang stepped forward, appearing right before Xue Honglou.
Raising her longsword, she swung it lightly toward him!
There were no overwhelming fluctuations; it all seemed so simple and unadorned.
But in the eyes of the strong, they clearly saw clusters of Dao laws severed beneath the blade!
Xue Honglou was pinned by immense power, unable to break free!
With all his strength, he conjured a thick, blood-red shield before him!
BOOM!!!
As the sword struck, a deafening roar shook the world!
The endless sky and boundless firmament shattered like an enormous jade vessel exploding into fragments!
Even thousands of miles away, cultivators were knocked to the ground!
Countless spat blood, their faces turning ashen!
Within Xuanshuang Grotto-Heaven, a terrifying energy storm raged outward, intent on annihilating all!
A breath of death descended over everyone's heads!
"My heavens!"
"I was just born today—I can't die this fast, can I?"
Jiang Yuqiong was terrified by his mom's strike.
His Supreme Bone glowed brilliantly, trying to shield him.
But the might of a powerhouse like his mom wasn't something his current Supreme Bone could withstand.
Amid the pervasive, terrifying power, Su Qingshuang raised a hand and gently pressed it down in the void.
The deadly aura sank instantly, dissipating in a blink!
The rolling energy waves stilled in a moment!
Only then did the crowd breathe a sigh of relief.
"AAHHH!!!"
Xue Honglou's howl rang out.
The blood-red shield had already shattered into nothingness.
His body tumbled uncontrollably, crashing through patch after patch of void.
Then he slammed into the boundary of the Heavenly Emperor's Domain, spewing a mouthful of black blood.
A deep gash appeared across his chest, exposing pulsating organs and jagged bones!
Xue Honglou's face twisted ferociously as he glared at Su Qingshuang.
"Su Qingshuang, you can't keep me here!"
He roared.
"Brother Xue, are you still so unrepentant?"
Su Qingshuang said.
She stepped forward again, pursuing him.
But suddenly, Xue Honglou let out another shout!
"Blood Demon Escape! Break for me!!!"
His aura erupted wildly.
His essence blood burned, his demonic energy surged!
A ferocious, unrivaled power burst forth!
"No good! He's using an escape technique!"
"He's trying to flee!"
The Saint Ancestors cried out in alarm!
If a half-step Heavenly Emperor was set on escaping, even a Heavenly Emperor might not be able to stop him!
As they spoke,
Xue Honglou's body radiated immense power, scarlet light surging, enveloping him entirely.
In an instant, he seemed to transform into a blood-red, peerless divine spear!
Carrying an aura that could slay all, its edge was unstoppable!
The blood spear shot forth like a demon god wielding a weapon, striking with devastating force!
"Crack!"
This world was pierced through!
The Heavenly Emperor's Domain, under that terrifying force, developed a hole.
The blood spear streaked away, carrying Xue Honglou's figure, breaking through the void and vanishing in a flash!
Yet his voice lingered faintly between heaven and earth.
"Su Qingshuang, just you wait!"
"As long as I don't become a Heavenly Emperor, I'll return one day to kill you again!"
When the voice faded, Xue Honglou's presence was gone from the surrounding space.
The massive hole quickly sealed itself shut.
