In a flash, the Zhenyu Demonic Blade slashed out a terrifying blade energy, combined with an arrow from the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, directly knocking the Soul Devouring Banner from Tian Zhe's hand.
Seizing this opportunity, the Myriad Spirit Cauldron flew out, instantly absorbing the Soul Devouring Banner, while simultaneously unleashing immense power to suppress it.
The Primordial Divine Fire then ignited, beginning to refine the restrictions within.
Now, with his power as a Second-Tier Emperor Venerable, Xu Chuan wielded the Myriad Spirit Cauldron, showcasing its formidable suppression and refining capabilities to the fullest.
Let alone a mere Fourth-Tier peak Emperor Artifact.
Even a true Fifth-Tier Emperor Artifact, without its owner personally appearing, would struggle to break free in a short time.
"What!"
Seeing Xu Chuan produce another Emperor Artifact he had never seen before, he was about to make a move.
But he never expected the Soul Devouring Banner to be suppressed.
In an instant, he lost all connection with it.
Originally, his connection with the Soul Devouring Banner was tenuous. Now, with the powerful Myriad Spirit Cauldron directly suppressing and rapidly refining it, that faint connection completely vanished.
"How is this possible!"
"Why do you possess such a supreme treasure!"
Tian Zhe's eyes were bloodshot as he roared.
His own strength was inferior to Xu Chuan's, and now even his final trump card was suppressed by the opponent.
He was instantly pushed to his wit's end.
He panicked.
A deep sense of unease surged within him.
If this continued, he had only one fate!
He didn't even dare to imagine it.
Intense fear made his whole body tremble.
At this moment, he no longer had any intention of pursuing Xu Chuan.
In fact, he began to regret why he had gotten involved in this murky affair of Xuantian.
If he hadn't tried to steal the credit, would all of this have happened today?
"Nothing is impossible!"
"I told you, today you have only one path, and that is death! There is no other way!"
Xu Chuan's cold voice echoed, like Yama, pronouncing Tian Zhe's final sentence.
These words, falling on Tian Zhe's ears, made him lose all will to fight.
"Escape!"
His mind was filled with only one thought!
He had to escape!
Otherwise, he had no chance of survival.
"Heavenly Demon Evasion Technique!"
Tian Zhe let out a terrified roar.
Then, his massive demonic body returned to its normal size.
Following that, strange and eerie energies erupted from within, enveloping his entire body.
He transformed into a black stream of light and, in the blink of an eye, shot towards the direction of the Three Yang Holy Land.
He completely disregarded the other demons.
He even abandoned the Soul Devouring Banner.
Any hesitation would be a disrespect to himself.
At this moment, he wished he had several more legs.
He also regretted why he had opened the spatial passage in the Three Yang Holy Land.
With his power as a Third-Tier Emperor Venerable, ordinary inter-realm passages couldn't withstand his strength.
Only the passage in the Three Yang Holy Land could allow him to return to the Demon Realm.
The current Tian Zhe no longer possessed the majesty of a demon prince.
He was like a stray dog, only wanting to escape alive.
To save his life, he didn't hesitate to use a secret technique, unleashing extreme speed, astonishingly fast.
However, Xu Chuan had no intention of letting him go.
He still needed the inheritance from the opponent, how could he let him escape.
"Can you escape from me?"
Xu Chuan sneered, looking at the disappearing figure of Tian Zhe.
Then he returned to his normal state.
He activated the system's teleportation function, locking onto Tian Zhe.
In an instant, Xu Chuan's figure vanished from his original spot.
On the ground, watching the man and demon disappear, everyone looked at each other in disbelief.
This battle had been too terrifying; they had no power to intervene.
Even the aftermath of their fight was unbearable for them.
"It's hard to believe that Your Highness's strength has reached this level."
While marveling at Xu Chuan's strength, they also felt fortunate that Xu Chuan was human.
If Xu Chuan were on the demon side, the consequences would be unimaginable.
After their amazement, countless martial artists once again gathered their spirits and began to encircle and suppress the remaining demons.
Before Xu Chuan's return, they wanted to clear out all the demons, eliminating future troubles.
...
On the other side, Tian Zhe looked back and did not see Xu Chuan's figure, believing he had escaped to safety.
Looking at the inter-realm passage, which was now within reach, he was congratulating himself.
The next moment, his smile froze completely, replaced by boundless fear.
"You... How are you here!"
Ahead, at the entrance of the inter-realm passage, Xu Chuan had been waiting for a long time.
However, Xu Chuan did not answer his question, a cold smile on his face.
Tian Zhe could never have dreamed that Xu Chuan possessed such a heaven-defying item as a system.
Throughout the entire Xuantian Continent, Xu Chuan could go anywhere he wished using the teleportation function, which took mere moments.
It was just that, under normal circumstances, few could force him to use this system function.
In this regard, Tian Zhe could be considered fortunate.
Xu Chuan raised his bow, his hands drawing it back, terrifying Primordial Divine Fire coiling around the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow.
It then formed a flaming arrow.
"Whoosh!"
With an arrow shot, the flaming arrow formed from Primordial Divine Fire tore through space, carrying an invincible divine might and an aura that annihilated all demons, instantly appearing before Tian Zhe.
"Ah!"
The arrow instantly pierced his chest, and his body exploded into pieces.
The Primordial Divine Fire clung to him like a persistent maggot, burning his body.
A shrill scream immediately erupted from his mouth.
The strange aura surrounding him, when faced with the Primordial Divine Fire, acted like gasoline, instantly igniting and causing him to fall from the sky to the ground.
He rolled on the ground, demonic energy gushing out uncontrollably, attempting to extinguish the Primordial Divine Fire on his body.
However, all of this was in vain; it posed no threat to the Primordial Divine Fire.
"Xu Chuan, you cannot kill me!"
"I am a demon prince! If you kill me, you will be hunted by my father, and by all the powerhouses of the Demon Realm!"
"This small Xuantian cannot protect you!"
Seeing his struggles were useless, despair and unwillingness filled Tian Zhe's eyes.
In his final moments, he still tried to threaten Xu Chuan with his identity and the entire Demon Realm.
However, listening to Tian Zhe's ravings, Xu Chuan was completely unmoved, his face terrifyingly calm.
"Are you finished? If so, I'll send you on your way!"
Xu Chuan's gaze was fierce, and he spoke coldly, his killing intent soaring.
This place was already deep within the Southern Region, and the battle that erupted here had already attracted the strong individuals from the Southern Region who were observing them from the shadows.
Xu Chuan disliked this feeling of being watched, so he prepared to end things quickly.
He had no intention of wasting more words with Tian Zhe.
He put away the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow.
He then summoned the Zhenyu Demonic Blade again.
He unleashed a full-power strike.
Tian Zhe had lost all ability to resist.
He could only watch helplessly as the blade fell upon his neck.
Tian Zhe's head flew into the sky, and dark purple demonic blood splattered everywhere.
Then, except for his head, everything else was burned away from its very root by the Primordial Divine Fire, losing any possibility of revival.
Tian Zhe's soul attempted to escape, but was horrified to discover that it had already been trapped within his head by the Primordial Divine Fire.
"What good is being a demon prince?"
"You saw me as an ant, and I see you the same way!"
"Even at your peak, you are merely a Third-Tier Emperor Venerable. Do you really think you are invincible?"
"Useless trash!"
"Today, you will be utterly annihilated!"
As the Primordial Divine Fire continued to burn, Tian Zhe's soul grew weaker and weaker.
In the end, only a wisp of remnant soul remained.
Seeing this, Xu Chuan extinguished the divine fire and grabbed the wisp of remnant soul.
The Southern Region martial artists who were watching from the surroundings heard Xu Chuan's words and were all shocked.
They had guessed that Tian Zhe would be strong, but they never expected him to be a Third-Tier Emperor Venerable.
Yet, such a powerful individual was killed by this young man without any ability to resist.
Everyone averted their gaze, speculating about his identity.
Only one woman, her face deathly pale, her forehead beaded with cold sweat, seemed to have witnessed something extremely terrifying.
