The Devil Realm man saw Ye Zheng descend and hurriedly struggled to crawl to his feet, pointing at Ning Yechen as he angrily shouted:
"Lord Ye Zheng! He was the one who killed our Devil Realm people!"
"He has offended our Devil Race!"
"Trash!"
"You can't even deal with a mere little ant!"
Ye Zheng furiously rebuked the Devil Realm man on the ground, kicked him away, then lifted his gaze toward Ning Yechen with utter disdain.
To him, the people of the Human Realm were little more than ants he could crush at will.
"The sin of offending my Devil Realm shall be redeemed with your life!"
Ye Zheng did not wish to waste time. Opening his mouth wide, he rapidly gathered a dazzling beam of light within it!
"Be annihilated, ant!"
"Demonic Annihilation!"
With a thunderous roar, the beam shot explosively from his mouth!
The terrifying spiritual pressure tore apart the void along its path. The earth was overturned in its wake, and its world-destroying might seemed ready to reduce everything in its path to ruin!
This strike could easily wipe out an entire city!
Ning Yechen was instantly swallowed whole by the beam.
Ye Zheng gave a disdainful snort, convinced that Ning Yechen had already died beneath the beam he had fired.
Just as Ye Zheng turned to leave, he saw his subordinate staring behind him in terror.
That expression looked as though he had seen a ghost.
Ye Zheng frowned and followed the Devil Realm man's gaze as he turned back around.
The next second, Ye Zheng wore the exact same expression as the Devil Realm man...
Ning Yechen, having taken a full Demonic Annihilation head-on, stood in the air completely unscathed!
Forget injuries—even his clothes had not suffered the slightest damage!
How was that possible?!
Ye Zheng's eyes widened in disbelief.
That had been the full-force strike he could unleash in the Human Realm!
Though restricted by the Heavenly Dao of the Human Realm, it had still been a full-power strike at the Immortal Realm!
"Your surname is Ye, and you can use Demonic Annihilation..."
"You belong to the Ye Household of the Devil Realm's First Legion?"
Ning Yechen casually straightened the clothes that had been ruffled by the blast and asked Ye Zheng indifferently.
"That's right!"
"I am Ye Zheng, commander of ten thousand in the Devil Realm's First Legion!"
Ye Zheng raised his head proudly as he replied.
A commander of ten thousand in the Devil Realm was an exceptionally high military rank!
Such a person could command an army of ten thousand!
Ning Yechen continued asking calmly:
"Is the First Legion's demon general still that fellow Ye Tianshen?"
"Yes..."
Ye Zheng replied without giving it much thought.
"Did he send you here?"
Ning Yechen narrowed his eyes and pressed on.
If he found out that it had been that fellow Ye Tianshen who had ordered this, then Ye Tianshen would definitely not be spared!
"It was not Lord Ye Tianshen who instructed me. It was—"
"Hm? No, wait! Why should I be answering your questions?!"
Ye Zheng had instinctively been about to continue when he suddenly came to his senses.
Why was he honestly answering an ant's questions?!
And from his words, this man seemed to know quite a lot about the Devil Realm!
He had even guessed the legion Ye Zheng belonged to!
"Who are you to dare make me answer your questions?!"
"Talk after you defeat me!"
Though he did not know why Ning Yechen had survived a blast of Demonic Annihilation, Ye Zheng firmly believed that Ning Yechen must have used some special means to evade it. Otherwise, there was no way he could have emerged unharmed.
This time, Ye Zheng attacked personally. In an instant, he appeared before Ning Yechen, drew a massive saber from his back, and slashed straight down at him!
A sharp blade aura descended from the heavens and plunged into the earth, carving out a broad ravine!
Yet the scene of Ning Yechen being split in two never appeared...
That seemingly terrifying slash was firmly caught between Ning Yechen's fingers!
He had blocked Ye Zheng's full-force slash with just two fingers!
Ye Zheng's eyes widened in shock once more.
Had he been away from the Human Realm for too long...?
Since when had the Human Realm possessed someone this terrifyingly powerful?!
"Have you finished your moves?"
"Then it's my turn."
Ning Yechen lightly exerted force with his fingers. With a crisp clang, the massive saber in Ye Zheng's hand snapped in two.
Ye Zheng stared blankly at the broken blade in his hand, his face filled with disbelief.
This was an Immortal Artifact personally given to him by Lord Ye Tianshen!
It had... it had just been snapped apart...?!
Could the Immortal Artifact Lord Ye Tianshen had given him have been a fake...?
In that instant, Ye Zheng even began to doubt whether the massive saber in his hand was truly an Immortal Artifact.
Otherwise, given the toughness of an Immortal Artifact, how could it possibly be broken so easily?!
Ning Yechen raised a palm toward Ye Zheng.
Ye Zheng hurriedly assumed a defensive stance.
Though he was greatly shocked by Ning Yechen's strength, he was not overly worried.
Because everyone in the Human Realm was constrained by the Heavenly Dao, and their cultivation could not exceed the Immortal Realm at most.
Even he, an Immortal King Realm expert, was no exception.
At most, the man before him could only use techniques with the same level of cultivation as Ye Zheng.
Even if Ye Zheng could do nothing to him, he likewise could not do anything to Ye Zheng!
Ye Zheng was utterly certain of it.
But he soon realized something was wrong!
An invisible force began twisting his body and limbs!
That force was formless yet immensely powerful. Even when he exerted all his strength, it remained useless!
His limbs twisted, his bones cracked with crackle, crackle, and even his Demon Armor was wrung apart!
The excruciating pain made Ye Zheng let out a heart-rending scream.
"Uwaaaah...!"
Ever since entering the Immortal King Realm and becoming a commander of ten thousand in the Devil Realm, he had never again felt so helpless and terrified!
The power wielded by the man before him completely surpassed what the Immortal Realm should have been capable of!
The constraints of the Heavenly Dao's laws had no effect on him at all?!
How was that possible?!
He had never heard of anyone being able to disregard the laws of the Heavenly Dao!
"Tell me. Who sent you here?"
Ning Yechen slowly stepped through the void until he stood before Ye Zheng, then asked coldly.
Ye Zheng was still hesitating over whether to answer when his body twisted into an even more grotesque shape!
"I-I don't know who that person was!"
"When that person found me, he only told me to do him one favor: come to the Human Realm, kill a woman, and take away a child!"
"He promised to give me a secret medicine that would let me break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm once it was done, so I agreed!"
"I don't know anything else...!"
Ye Zheng had finally realized just how terrifying Ning Yechen was.
This kind of power was not something an insignificant Immortal King Realm cultivator like him could possibly compare to!
Under the severe pain and terror of his twisted body, Ye Zheng hurriedly cried out his answer in panic.
Hearing this, Ning Yechen lowered his hand and stopped twisting Ye Zheng into a pretzel.
He did not believe Ye Zheng would dare lie to him.
For the sake of him being one of his former subordinates, he would spare Ye Zheng this once.
Unfortunately, he had still obtained no useful information.
The other party was extremely cautious and never showed himself personally.
Ning Yechen frowned in displeasure and said to Ye Zheng:
"Get back to the Devil Realm."
"If you dare come again, prepare to disappear!"
"Otherwise, not even the entire Devil Realm will be able to protect you!"
Just as Ning Yechen was about to return to Luo Ruying's side, a cold, sinister voice rang out behind him once more.
"What big words!"
