Suddenly, Dao Lord Taichu's pupils contracted sharply. He sensed a powerful presence rapidly approaching them.
"Run!" Dao Lord Taichu grabbed Liu Xue's clothes and hurriedly fled into the distance.
"Ha ha ha... You two ants think you can escape?"
At that moment, a burst of arrogant laughter rang out from the void. Then, a massive claw reached toward the two of them.
Before the giant claw even arrived, the two felt suffocated, as though they were about to be crushed to pieces.
Dao Lord Taichu bit the tip of his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of Essence Blood onto the Dao sword in his hand. Then, he unleashed a sword strike with all his strength. Its power was incomparably terrifying, instantly destroying the giant claw.
"Ha ha ha... Your end has come. This Demon God will devour both of you."
Just then, another burst of wild laughter sounded, and a pitch-black Demon God appeared before them.
This Demon God stood over thirty feet tall, clad in Metal Armor, with two pairs of wings on his back and horns growing from his head.
"A powerhouse of the demon race—are you here to seize our Nine-Orifice Exquisite Immortal Lotus as well?"
Dao Lord Taichu shouted in a low voice.
"The Nine-Orifice Exquisite Immortal Lotus was discovered by our demon race first. Naturally, it should belong to us."
The Demon Emperor spoke with extreme arrogance. His cultivation had astonishingly reached the peak of the Demon Emperor realm.
"The human race and demon race have never interfered with each other. Don't you think you're being too overbearing?" Dao Lord Taichu said, his words revealing the fury in his heart.
"Hmph! This Emperor has already said that our demon race discovered this place first. If you humans dare interfere, you are provoking our demon race.
