These Chaos Demon Gods had once been beings who could summon wind and rain. Even with only Remnant Souls left now, they were absolutely not to be underestimated.
The Chaos Demon Gods were now standing on the same side as Rahula.
They were even opposing the Heavenly Dao.
Naturally, the Heavenly Dao would not sit by and let the Chaos Demon Gods stir up storms in the Primordial Wilderness.
What was more, the Heavenly Dao had descended upon the Blood Sea this time precisely to wipe out both the Chaos Demon Gods' Remnant Souls and Rahula, eliminating future troubles once and for all.
The Heavenly Punishment Divine Lightning had been blocked, but that was far from the Heavenly Dao's only method.
Very soon, the essence blood surrounding the Blood Sea gathered together, eventually taking the form of a person.
The incarnation condensed by the Eye of the Heavenly Dao stared coldly at the Nine Demon Tower and Rahula before it.
"You shall die!"
The Nine Demon Tower spun through the air, and the voice of some unknown Demon God drifted out.
"Haha, what arrogance! When I attained the Hunyuan Wuji Golden Immortal realm in the chaos, who knew where you, the Heavenly Dao, even were? Even though I was injured by Pangu, you, the Heavenly Dao, are still no match for me!"
With that, ten thousand sharp swords shot out from the Nine Demon Tower.
"Go!"
At the Demon God's command, every sword flew toward the Heavenly Dao Incarnation.
The Heavenly Dao Incarnation remained utterly cold.
"How dare Remnant Souls stir up storms in the Primordial Wilderness!"
The Heavenly Dao Incarnation merely raised both hands slightly, then made a light beckoning motion. All the swords fell from the sky, turning into Spiritual Light and vanishing.
Not only that, with a light stamp of its foot, the ground split open, and earthen walls rose one after another from the earth.
Without question, every attack was aimed at the Chaos Demon Gods temporarily residing within the Nine Demon Tower.
Seeing the Heavenly Dao Incarnation battle the Chaos Demon Gods' Remnant Souls, Rahula finally let out a long breath.
Let them fight. Good!
Better yet, let them fight until no one notices me. Then I can slip away with the tide and make a clean retreat.
Just as Rahula prepared to quietly withdraw while no one was paying attention to him, the Heavenly Dao's enormous eyeball suddenly appeared before him again.
The Eye of the Heavenly Dao had merely split off an incarnation to temporarily hold back the Chaos Demon Gods.
Its true body was still here!
In the Heavenly Dao's eyes, the Chaos Demon Gods deserved death!
And Rahula, who had colluded with the Chaos Demon Gods and provided them a place to dwell in the Primordial Wilderness, also deserved death!
The Eye of the Heavenly Dao ignited Heavenly Punishment Divine Fire, directly trapping Rahula's Remnant Soul.
Although Rahula now had only a Remnant Soul left as well, he was no easy target and still had some real skills up his sleeve.
"Get lost!"
Rahula roared, releasing the demonic qi from his body. It transformed into a Demonic Qi Barrier that shielded him.
Though the Heavenly Punishment Divine Fire could not get close to Rahula, under its burning, Rahula's Demonic Qi Barrier was steadily being worn away.
Seeing this, the Eye of the Heavenly Dao immediately intensified its assault.
The Heavenly Punishment Divine Fire, which had shown signs of weakening, swiftly blazed up once more.
"Damn it!"
Rahula cursed, then reacted as well, forming a hand seal.
"Demonic Water, rise!"
Rahula had intended to use Demonic Water against the Eye of the Heavenly Dao's Heavenly Punishment Divine Fire.
But to his surprise, there was no response from the surroundings.
Rahula frowned.
"Demonic Water! Rise for me!"
Still, there was no response at all.
How could this be?
Rahula was startled. Why was his Demonic Water not responding?
Seeing his increasingly fragile Demonic Qi Barrier, Rahula had no time to care why his Demonic Water was unresponsive. He could only use other spells first to deal with the situation.
Styx, watching from the side, laughed.
Did Rahula not stop to think where this was?
This was the Blood Sea!
It was a sea formed from the gathered essence blood of all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness!
The Demonic Water Rahula had summoned was still diluted and assimilated the moment it appeared in the Blood Sea. How could it possibly inflict even the slightest harm upon the Heavenly Punishment Divine Fire?
What? You were asking why the Heavenly Punishment Divine Fire could appear within the Blood Sea?
Nonsense. The Heavenly Punishment Divine Fire possessed the power of purification—how would the filthy blood in the Blood Sea dare approach it?
Rahula could see that he was about to be unable to withstand the Eye of the Heavenly Dao's assault, while over there, the Chaos Demon Gods were dealing with the Heavenly Dao Incarnation as easily as if they were playing around.
Rahula was instantly displeased.
He immediately shouted.
"Shi Chen! If you don't come over here, I'm going to die at the hands of the Heavenly Dao!"
"Useless trash!"
Shi Chen cursed.
Yet despite his harsh words, he honestly prepared to go support Rahula.
But the Heavenly Dao Incarnation stopped him.
"Your opponent is me!"
After exchanging blows with the Chaos Demon Gods, the Heavenly Dao Incarnation was now covered in wounds.
Clearly, he was no match for the Chaos Demon Gods.
Yet he still stubbornly stood before the Chaos Demon Gods.
"Hmph!"
Shi Chen snorted coldly and attacked the Heavenly Dao Incarnation again, ordering at the same time.
"Balance, go give Rahula a hand for now!"
"I'm not going! That piece of trash can die for all I care!"
Impatience crept into Shi Chen's voice. "If he dies, who will make plans for us outside?"
"Shi Chen, you don't actually still trust that guy, do you? How much help have we given him over the years? And what has he done in return?!"
Of course Shi Chen knew that as well, but they had already placed their wager on Rahula.
If Rahula died just like this, their losses would only be greater!
"If you refuse to go, I'll have you buried alongside Rahula!"
In the end, Shi Chen finally lost his patience and openly threatened him.
Balance could only compromise. "I can't remain outside the Nine Demon Tower for long. If I still can't save him in the end, don't blame me."
"It doesn't matter!"
If Rahula still died under such circumstances, then it was simply his fate to perish.
Moreover, Shi Chen knew very well that the Nine Great Demon Gods dwelling within the Nine Demon Tower had all once been peak Demon Gods of Chaos.
But Rahula had once been the bottom rung among the Chaos Demon Gods.
Over the years, the fact that they had relied on Rahula to dwell within the Nine Demon Tower had already stirred great dissatisfaction among many Demon Gods.
Had Shi Chen not forcibly suppressed everyone's discontent, someone would likely have made a move against Rahula long ago.
Furthermore, although they had recovered somewhat over the years, they still could not leave the Nine Demon Tower for extended periods.
Even he could only temporarily remain outside the Nine Demon Tower for less than two hours.
Though unwilling, Balance ultimately left the Nine Demon Tower to rescue Rahula.
But just as he rushed toward the battlefield of the Eye of the Heavenly Dao and Rahula, a grand array suddenly rose from the ground, blocking the Balance Demon God outside it!
"What is this?!"
The Balance Demon God was greatly startled!
What shocked him even more was that he actually could not break into the grand array before him!
Outside the array stood the Balance Demon God.
Within it were the trapped Rahula and the Eye of the Heavenly Dao!
"Who is it?!"
The Balance Demon God vigilantly scanned his surroundings.
Who had set up a grand array here while everyone was off their guard?
"Hehe! You want to save Rahula? Not a chance!"
Needless to say, the one who had set up this grand array was, of course, our protagonist Styx.
This was the defensive grand array the Blood Sea had used to protect Styx, the Lord of the Blood Sea, before he was born!
It could withstand attacks from a Primordial Golden Immortal—in other words, attacks at the Quasi-Sage level.
After Styx was born, this grand array had been deeply imprinted in his mind.
He had not been idle just now. While everyone was locked in battle, he had secretly set up this Blood Sea Grand Array.
