The farther away from this monster, the better!

In response to that Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal's interrogation, Niu Ben was unimpressed and said contemptuously:

"You?"

"You are not worthy to know my name!"

Hearing this, that Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal immediately flew into a rage, his eyes practically spitting fire.

After all, he was a Demon King who ruled a region—when had he ever been so belittled?

"You seek death!!"

The next moment, the Demon King roared, his demonic aura surging wildly, its terrifying pressure causing the seawater for ten thousand miles to churn.

"Boom!"

Then, the Demon King struck in fury, sacrificing his cone-shaped Houtian Spiritual Treasure.

Instantly, immense power erupted, raising monstrous waves.

"Whoosh!"

Following that, the cone-shaped Houtian Spiritual Treasure shot forth like a rainbow, carrying the might to shatter mountains and cliffs straight at Niu Ben.

Such terrifying force would make even an ordinary Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal hesitate to meet it head-on.

"Oh?"

Facing this fearsome strike from the Demon King, Niu Ben's expression remained utterly calm.

The power of a mere Houtian Spiritual Treasure did not concern him in the slightest.

Just as the cone-shaped Houtian Spiritual Treasure was about to crash down, At that moment, Niu Ben casually raised his palm and threw a punch as if it were nothing.

"Boom!"

Under the sweeping force of his fist, even time and space seemed to twist and distort.

Looking closely, Niu Ben's fist had already landed on the cone-shaped Houtian Spiritual Treasure.

"Bang!"

With a deafening explosion of the punch, "Crack!"

Then, the Demon King's cone-shaped Houtian Spiritual Treasure shattered directly under Niu Ben's fist, scattering into specks of light that dissipated into the sea breeze.

"Ah?"

"This?"

"His physical strength is absurdly strong, isn't it?"

"My spiritual treasure!!"

The Demon King was shocked, his face full of disbelief.

He never imagined Niu Ben's physical power could be so formidable, actually overpowering his Houtian Spiritual Treasure.

What pained him even more was that his precious Houtian Spiritual Treasure, forged from countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures, capable of contending even with an Innate Spiritual Treasure, had been smashed to pieces by Niu Ben's bare fist!

Not far away, the Three Xiaos saw this and couldn't help cheering.

"Senior Disciple Brother is amazing!"

"He shattered that man's Houtian Spiritual Treasure with his bare hands!"

"So cool!"

In their excitement, the Three Xiaos glanced at Ao Run in unison.

"Our Senior Disciple Brother agreed to help you—you've practically gotten your life back," Bixiao said with a pout.

Just now, seeing Niu Ben lend a hand, she felt a surge of jealousy, wondering if Niu Ben had only intervened because of Ao Run's beauty!

Ao Run stood frozen, utterly incredulous.

She didn't even pay attention to Bixiao's jealous words.

In her mind, she kept replaying Niu Ben's punch from earlier.

"So... so strong!"

"A single punch relying purely on his physical body shattered that old demon's Houtian Spiritual Treasure?"

"Who is he?"

Thinking this, Ao Run's gaze sharpened, fixed squarely on Niu Ben.

At that moment, Niu Ben's expression was as calm as ever, watching the Demon King with an air of indifference.

"What?"

"Is that all you've got?"

As Niu Ben spoke, the Demon King snapped out of his shock.

The thought that Niu Ben would so disdain him, and even shatter his painstakingly refined Houtian Spiritual Treasure with a single punch, sent him into a fury.

"You... you're asking for death!!"

The Demon King roared, rage overwhelming reason.

"Boom! Boom!"

In the next instant, demonic aura surged wildly around him.

When he looked again, the Demon King's form swelled violently, and in less than a breath, he had transformed into a ten-thousand-zhang colossal beast.

The moment his sky-obscuring true body appeared, a terrifying aura swept outward.

The entire West Sea trembled under his might, and countless Dragon Clan creatures prostrated themselves.

"Roar!"

The Demon King bellowed, his savage eyes icy.

"Oh?"

"Your true body?"

Niu Ben said coldly, divine light blazing in his eyes as his muscles bulged.

The next moment, a fearsome aura, as if from the ancient Primordial Wilderness, erupted abruptly.

"Boom!"

Then, a sky-shaking ox roar resounded across heaven and earth.

"Moo..."

The sound burst forth like thunderclaps, instantly boiling the entire West Sea.

The violent sonic waves turned into tangible ripples, forcing the seawater for ten thousand li down by a hundred zhang.

Then, Niu Ben's form swelled rapidly.

Every inch of muscle erupted with world-destroying power, and mysterious Dao patterns emerged, each seeming to record the secrets of World-Creating.

In mere moments, he had transformed into a ten-thousand-zhang Azure Ox.

His thick hooves stamped on the void, shaking the entire West Sea as if an earthquake struck.

Most terrifying were his horns, forged from dark iron, entwined with Chaos Qi, their tips gleaming with a cold light that twisted space itself.

With just a toss of his head, two pitch-black cracks were carved into the void, lingering long without closing.

In an instant, two figures ten thousand zhang tall stood proudly over the West Sea, their violent auras shredding the clouds for ten thousand li.

The Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals in the sea trembled at the sight.

Some weaker water creatures were directly knocked unconscious by the terrifying pressure.

"Hm?"

The Demon King's savage eyes narrowed, not expecting Niu Ben's true body to be so dreadful.

Shocked, he didn't hesitate, swinging his body to charge at Niu Ben.

"Boom!"

Niu Ben saw this, his expression calm, and his true body moved to meet the attack head-on.

In a few breaths, the two colossal beings collided above the West Sea.

"Bang!"

The impact unleashed a deafening explosion, shockwaves rippling out as if time and space were annihilated.

But the Demon King's true body proved fragile under the collision.

His proud form was as weak as paper before Niu Ben.

After all, Niu Ben was an Innate Demon God by Origin, and his true body had undergone two earth-shattering evolutions, far surpassing the realm of ordinary Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals.

In an instant, the Demon King was sent flying, his insides churning as if his organs had shifted.

Stabilizing himself, the Demon King reverted to his human form and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Pfft!"

That single clash had already gravely wounded him.

"S-so strong!"

The Demon King stammered, his eyes filled with terror as he looked at Niu Ben.

He had thought that unleashing his true body would easily suppress Niu Ben.

But who would have guessed Niu Ben's true body was even more terrifying?

With that thought, the Demon King regained his senses.

He understood clearly in his heart—Niu Ben had shattered his Houtian Spiritual Treasure with a single punch, and his true body was even more terrifying than that.

Such an existence was entirely beyond the power an ordinary Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal could possess.

"Run!"

Amid his shock, a flicker of resolve flashed in the Demon King's eyes. Without a hint of hesitation, he turned and fled.

At this moment, only one thought occupied his mind: the farther he got from this monster, the better!
