Jiang Yuqiong was single-mindedly pursuing Murong Ce.
He was unaware that, at this very moment, the outside world was being thrown into a colossal uproar because of him!
Within that radiant teleportation array, a severed arm appeared!
Baili Jingyun and two others were subsequently teleported out as well.
They brought with them a earth-shattering revelation!
That severed arm belonged to none other than Baili Jinghong—the top prodigy of the younger generation of the Baili Clan!
Moreover, Gu Xiu and Helian Cheng, two peerless geniuses, were also dead!
All three had been killed by a single person!
That person was the very same "Little Demon King" who had previously gravely injured two youths from the Xiao Clan!
This news left countless people stunned on the spot, their faces filled with horror!
Three young prodigies had died at the hands of one individual.
Even their teleportation talismans couldn't save their lives!
Only Baili Jinghong's arm had been teleported out.
Yet that Little Demon King was just a toddler, barely two years old by appearance!
How could this be possible?!
For a time, the crowd fell into a prolonged, deathly silence. No one dared believe it was true.
But these words came from Baili Jingyun's mouth, leaving no room for doubt.
Was that Little Demon King some kind of monster?
How could such a terrifying anomaly exist in this era?
"Ahhh!!!"
"You little wretch, I'll kill you myself!!!"
In the distance, a white-haired elder clutched Baili Jinghong's severed arm, roaring with fury.
His hair whipped wildly, his body surging with divine power like a vast ocean, shaking the heavens and trembling the skies, like an enraged lion!
Baili Jinghong, bearer of the Innate Saint Vein, possessed unparalleled talent. Across the vast Three Thousand Dao Domains, few could rival him!
He was the hope of the Baili Clan's rise!
Given time, he was destined to achieve Saint Ancestor status, potentially elevating the Baili Clan to the ranks of an Eternal Clan!
Yet, unbelievably, such a figure had perished in the first stage of the trial!
This was unbearable for them!
"Whoever dares kill a prince of my Gu Ye Dynasty must pay in blood, no matter who they are!"
"The Helian Clan will not let this rest!"
The forces behind Gu Xiu and Helian Cheng were equally enraged.
Their most outstanding heirs, slain by the Little Demon King—how could they let it go?
Regardless of his origins, he'd face their wrath!
The powerhouses of the three factions unconsciously unleashed mountainous auras, nearly suffocating everyone around them!
Among the crowd, only the Xiao Clan felt overwhelming dread.
Especially Xiao Aoran and Xiao Aoquan.
They now realized just how terrifying that Little Demon King was!
Even Soul Fusion Realm prodigies died miserably at his hands, unable to escape.
In hindsight, their own lives had been miraculously spared!
"The force that nurtured the Little Demon King can't be trifling!"
"When the trial ends, a storm of epic proportions will erupt!"
"It's coming soon! Just not sure if he'll enter the second stage."
Whispers buzzed through the crowd.
Together, the Baili Clan, Helian Clan, and Gu Ye Dynasty feared nothing short of the major holy lands, great sects, clans, and divine dynasties!
And the figure behind the Little Demon King would likely emerge then.
A fearsome clash was inevitable!
"It might not come to blows! This is Ancient Heaven Sect—no one dares act recklessly!"
Someone shook their head, offering this view.
But soon, a counterpoint arose.
"The Little Demon King entered the War Dragon Secret Realm without a trial talisman, breaking the rules. Even Ancient Heaven Sect might not have much to say."
"Unless they take him as a disciple. Even then, they'd have to answer to the three factions!"
For a time, the War Dragon Secret Realm's outskirts roared with commotion that wouldn't die down.
Everyone waited.
Waited for the trial's end, for the moment the Little Demon King emerged, and for the storm to coalesce!
During this time, more details about the deaths of Baili Jinghong, Helian Cheng, and Gu Xiu trickled out.
The revelations once again left countless people reeling!
Shouts of shock echoed everywhere.
"What? The Divine Wheel Realm's New Extreme was set by that Little Demon King? He forged the Sole Divine Wheel?"
"An ancient palace appeared in the secret realm? With Vermilion Bird essence blood, Teng Snake essence blood, and several Emperor-tier artifacts?"
"Baili Jinghong used an eighth-tier array plate against him? Four Soul Fusion Realm fighters entered the array, yet he turned it against them?"
"An eighth-tier array reversal couldn't kill him? How is that possible?!"
"He had a jade pendant—some unknown divine treasure—that kept him unscathed!"
Detail after detail left the crowd utterly horrified.
The Sole Divine Wheel, treasures from an ancient palace—all of it was staggering, hard to believe!
Moreover, the self-destructing might of an eighth-tier array reversal was something even Heaven's Mandate Realm experts would weigh carefully!
A two-year-old, even clad in Emperor-tier armor, shouldn't survive such a gap in cultivation.
Clearly, that jade pendant was an extraordinarily potent divine treasure!
Its exact rank remained a mystery!
At this thought, many realized the toddler's origins might be far more terrifying than imagined!
Thus, some began worrying for the Baili Clan, Helian Clan, and Gu Ye Dynasty.
If a hidden titan emerged, they might not cope!
But soon, fresh news spread.
"No need to speculate! He's no scion of a top faction—he's likely from a demonic sect!"
"Exactly! He devoured Baili Jinghong's Innate Saint Vein—pure demonic tactics!"
Someone declared with certainty.
Meanwhile, the three factions' members cursed while sneering coldly.
"Damned demonic filth! They infiltrated Ancient Heaven Sect's trial and killed our young prodigies—such audacity!"
"Hmph! Ancient Heaven Sect belongs to Emperor Frost Heaven. If he's demonic, he won't leave alive!"
"Only skinning him alive will quench my rage!"
By now, the three factions harbored no reservations.
A demonic Little Demon King? They'd strike without mercy, demanding blood for blood.
They'd already reported this to the Ancient Heaven Sect elders stationed here.
Hearing it, all seven elders paled.
"A colossal upheaval struck the War Dragon Secret Realm!"
"The holy array's damaged! Someone likely breached that great tomb!"
"This is beyond us—report to the Sect Master and Grand Elders immediately. Send Saint Ancestors to investigate!"
Learning the specifics, the elders' faces grew grave, whispering via transmission.
Two stayed to guard; the other five vanished in a blur.
