"Roar?"
The Heart Demon Emperor seemed to notice the change in Xiao Yang's gaze. It was no longer anger, nor fear, but something like... a hunter looking at its prey?
The "intelligence" formed from countless negative emotions and chaotic wills felt a flicker of instinctive confusion and unease.
This tiny human had been struck by its most powerful heart demon attack, yet not only had he failed to break down, he seemed... even more excited?
It couldn't understand.
But it could sense that this human before it posed a tremendous threat!
It had to—right now, immediately—wipe him out completely!
ROAR!!!
The Heart Demon Emperor roared again, shaking heaven and earth. Countless twisted, anguished faces appeared across its enormous body. They were projections of the thoughts of the other prodigies it had devoured.
"Kill him!"
"Tear him apart!"
"Make him suffer like us!"
Countless chaotic, venomous roars converged into a terrifying mental storm, powerful enough to shatter any Holy Lord's Divine Soul into pieces in an instant.
Black demonic energy poured wildly from its body, transforming into billions of razor-sharp demonic blades. They blotted out the sky, forming a lethal storm of blades that swept toward Xiao Yang!
The entire illusory world trembled beneath this power, as if doomsday had arrived!
Yet faced with this world-destroying strike, Xiao Yang smiled.
It was a carefree, wholehearted laugh!
"Good! Bring it on!"
"Dong Sheng Yi, thanks for the generous gift!"
"I, Xiao Yang, will gladly accept it!"
He spread his arms as if to embrace the storm of demonic blades, powerful enough to destroy everything.
Under the bewildered gazes of the Heart Demon Emperor and Dong Sheng Yi, who was watching from afar through a secret technique, Xiao Yang moved!
He used no defensive divine ability, nor did he activate any protective treasure.
