"What? How is that possible?"

The Heyan Blood Demon couldn't believe it. What kind of strength did he possess? He was easily among the top ten strongest members of all the Prison Race who had entered the Youhun Absolute Prison this time, yet he had just been at a disadvantage?

The Rock Giant stopped its retreat, Darkness Force within it surged, instantly erasing the sword marks.

"The Path of the Beast God!"

The Heyan Blood Demon and the Jinyan Blood Demon cried out in alarm.

Chiling clone took the Origin Heart in his hand and looked at the Heyan Blood Demon in surprise. The opponent's strength was somewhat beyond his expectations.

The attack just now definitely had nearly 200 times the power of a ninth-level World Lord.

"Walk!"

The Chiling clone had no intention of getting entangled with them and urged the dumbfounded Silver Star Blood Demon onward.

Silver Star Blood Demon's eyes lit up, and he immediately spread his wings. Taking advantage of the gap when the World Projection was broken, he grabbed Chiling and ran out, instantly breaking out of the encirclement.

"Trying to escape?"

While Jinyan Blood Demon, Heyan Blood Demon, and others were besieging Chiling and Silver Star, even more Three-Star Blood Demon were rushing here. The Central Mountain Range was simply too vast, and many powerful individuals who were not fast and happened to be far from the entrance of the tunnel dug by Silver Star simply could not arrive in time.

Previously, Jinyan Blood Demon, Heyan Blood Demon, and others used World Projection to seal off the space above the cave entrance from which Chiling and Silver Star emerged. The Three-Star Blood Demon who dared not come over just arrived when they saw the layered World Projection collapse, and Heyan Blood Demon was sent flying backward.

As soon as Chiling clone and Silver Star broke out of the encirclement, they ran headlong into Nine-Headed Serpent that was over ten kilometers long.

"Yesha Blood Demon?"

Chiling immediately recognized him as the Yesha Blood Demon, who was also at the Peak Blood Demon level, as introduced by Silver Star.

Although the entire "Prison" has eighty-one prefectures with millions of Blood Demon level experts, there are only a dozen or so Prison Race who have reached the peak of the Three-Star Blood Demon level. Each of them is infamous and fearsome. Even the Prison Race's Immortal God treat them with the utmost respect. They are so powerful that even the Killing Absolute Prison poses virtually no danger to them.

However, these legendary peak experts gathered in this Central Mountain Range, for whom the Origin Heart was the only treasure worth pursuing.

"Haha, I actually ran into him!" The Yesha Blood Demon instantly sensed the extremely obvious fluctuations of the Origin Heart aura on the Chiling clone, and all nine long and huge heads showed excited expressions.

Yesha Blood Demon is a peak-level Three-Star Blood Demon, but he is not fast and his luck is average. In the past, he has always failed every time the Absolute Prison opened. Although he still doesn't understand why the Heyan Blood Demon retreated, allowing Silver Star and Chiling to break out of the encirclement, it is a great thing for him. He is so excited that he doesn't have time to think about anything else.

The nine heads spewed out flames one after another, and nine long dragons of fire, carrying terrifying power, weaved back and forth, forming a cage that rapidly contracted inward, seemingly trying to bind Chiling and Silver Star and then take them away.

Chiling calmly slashed out with his sword once more.

The crimson blade light, imbued with the ferocious Beast God Intent, instantly slashed towards a long, fiery dragon.

The nine heads of the Yesha Blood Demon suddenly realized that there was a reason why the other party was able to break through the blockade of the Jinyan Blood Demon and the Heyan Blood Demon.

With several loud bangs, all nine fiery dragons were severed one by one.

The ferocious battle scene stunned the other Three-Star Blood Demon who had rushed over, leaving them frozen in mid-air.

"Peak Blood Demon?"

Being able to withstand the Yesha Blood Demon's attacks is something that no ordinary Three-Star Blood Demon could accomplish.

However, the Yesha Blood Demon's obstruction also allowed the Heyan Blood Demon behind him to catch up.

"Go to hell!"

Chiling clone, caught between two enemies, suddenly sensed a terrifying aura bursting forth from behind him and looked back in surprise.

Silver Star's expression changed drastically. "That stupid stone is actually fighting desperately!"

The enormous Rock Giant suddenly shrank to half its original size, but this shrinkage doubled the aura it emitted.

"Where did this Blackhorn Race come from...?" Just as Yesha Blood Demon was preparing to join forces with Heyan Blood Demon to attack Chiling, he suddenly looked surprised. "Abyssal Rock is actually fighting desperately at this time?"

The Rock Giant, its body shrunk to half its original size, revealed murderous intent in its eyes. It threw a punch, and a powerful pressure locked onto Chiling, as if there was only one giant fist in the world, which transformed into a planet and smashed towards Chiling, leaving him with no way to escape.

"His strength increased so much in an instant? This attack is almost four hundred times the power of a ninth-level World Lord."

The Chiling clone was somewhat surprised, but not panicked. While wielding his sword with his left hand and slashing forward again to block the Yesha Blood Demon's second attack, he turned around seemingly slowly but actually quickly, extending his right hand and forming a claw to meet the incoming rocky planet.

He was originally the Desolate God Chiling. Even with a humanoid body, he could only unleash his true strength by simply using the fighting instincts of Desolate God, without weapons like the Thunder Prison Blade.

"What?" The Heyan Blood Demon, who was full of confidence and burning with rage, suddenly lost his color.

A crimson Flood Dragon Claw suddenly descended from the void, beneath which lay a boiling ocean of lightning. A vast and powerful aura surged forth, making the rocky planet formed from the Heyan Blood Demon's fist appear as insignificant as a bullet in comparison.

The dragon extended its claws and pressed down slightly, causing a large area of space where the Heyan Blood Demon was located to collapse inwards, turning the earth and sky upside down!

Although Chiling clone's physical strength was only 150 times that of a ninth-level World Lord after amplifying the Darkness Force, his Beast God Intent on the 16th floor of the Heavenly Bridge, combined with his combat instincts, was enough for him to unleash the Immortal Army Lord Peak with his bare hands. He only used the Thunder Prison Blade as a weapon to avoid revealing his identity as much as possible.

Rumble!

The only sound in the world seemed to be the thunder and lightning. The Heyan Blood Demon was struck again as if by a meteorite, crashing directly into the Central Mountain Range.

Using this reaction force, Chiling clone, along with Silver Star Blood Demon, transformed into Flowing Light and flew out of the area where they were being attacked from both sides by several Peak Blood Demons.

But then a golden light descended from the sky at an incredible speed, as if it had traversed the void directly and landed above Chiling clone.

It was a golden vine!

It carries an endless sharpness, like a sharp sword.

The slowest, yet widely recognized as the strongest among all those who entered the Absolute Prison, the Lanwu Blood Demon finally arrived late.

High in the sky, the Lanwu Blood Demon, the size of an asteroid, was a plant-like creature of the Prison Race. Its thousands of brown vines bared their claws and instantly turned golden, transforming into sharp swords that pierced through the void as they hurtled towards the Chiling clone.

Even the usually composed Chiling clone showed surprise. The power of each of these swords was comparable to the attack power of the Heyan Blood Demon before it fought desperately. The thousands of vines were like thousands of Immortal Army Lord attacking him.

The Prison Race actually has such a perverted nature?

Under the horrified gaze of the Silver Star Blood Demon, the Chiling clone pounded his chest, letting out a deep and long moo that echoed through the void.

The surrounding area instantly descended into chaos.

Time seemed to move at different speeds. The golden sword that was about to pierce Chiling's body suddenly slowed down, allowing the Silver Star Blood Demon to calmly unleash his unparalleled speed and dodge with Chiling clone. Some of the swords that were already moving at their Extreme Point speed were accelerated even further, causing Chiling clone to pass by him before reaching its intended position.

The entire area seemed to be engulfed by a completely irregular time vortex.

It was "Zhou Tian Huan Bian" from the original divine power "Red God Chant"Heavenly Cycle Illusion of the Desolate God Chiling, which was transformed into the Innate Secret Technique "Time Illusion" by the Supreme Rule when devouring the universe.

Even if the Chiling clone did not transform into the true form of the Desolate God, it could still unleash a fraction of its power.

Silver Star lived up to its reputation as a powerful Three-Star Blood Demon, possessing strong combat awareness and experience. With the help of Chiling's "Time Illusion," it dodged all attacks with unparalleled speed, like a ghost, and "swam" out of the Lanwu Vine's attack range with Chiling.

Then he soared into the sky, leaving everyone else in the dust.

After escaping the Central Mountain Range, with the speed of the Silver Star Blood Demon, no one could catch up with Chiling and the others.

The Rock Giant, having broken free from the boulder, and the other powerful figures stared in disbelief as Chiling and Silver Star effortlessly dodged the Lanwu Blood Demon's attacks and soared into the sky.

"Where did this monster come from?" The Heyan Blood Demon was no longer able to muster any anger.

"Incredible! This is definitely his first time entering the Killing Absolute Prison. I've never heard of him before. This means that he defeated the Heyan Blood Demon who was fighting desperately just now without comprehending the Killing Will. If he comprehends the Killing Will, wouldn't he be comparable to the Lanwu Blood Demon? Is another Ultimate Blood Demon powerhouse about to emerge?" The gigantic Nine-Headed Serpent stared at the sky in disbelief.

Only the Fuxiao Blood Demon, which resembled a giant bird, had a mysterious expression, lost in thought.

"Haha!" Silver Star Blood Demon exclaimed excitedly, "Brother Chiying, I never expected that you would cultivate the Path of the Beast God and reach such a high level. Before obtaining the Origin Heart, our Prison Race has never been good at comprehending the Origin Law. I thought my comprehension of the Law of Light was already quite high, but compared to you, it's far inferior."

Chiling clone smiled without saying a word, muttering to himself, "It's a pity I'm an atypical Prison Race."

"Brother Chiying, you can rival Peak Blood Demon level expert just by comprehending the Law Comprehension. If you can comprehend the Killing Will, you will definitely become an ultimate expert who can rival Lanwu Vine, or even surpass him."

The Three-Star Blood Demon are divided into four levels, with the fourth level being the Ultimate Blood Demon powerhouse. In the entire "prison," it is generally acknowledged that only the super plant life form Lanwu Vine, has reached this level.

"Comprehend the Killing Will..." Chiling clone was somewhat puzzled.

Silver Star Blood Demon sighed, "The reason why Peak Blood Demon like the Heyan Blood Demon are far superior to second-level Three-Star Blood Demon like me is not only because their Gene Level is higher, but also because they have all comprehended the Killing Will."

"Normally, driving the Darkness Force can only achieve a 3 to 5 times Strength Amplitude, but if the Killing Will is used to drive the Darkness Force, it can unleash a 10 times Combat Power Amplitude in a short period of time! The powerful force that the Heyan Blood Demon suddenly shrank its body and burst out with was due to this reason."

"10 times the amplitude?" Chiling clone suddenly realized. He could sense that the Heyan Blood Demon's body genes were about 40 times, and the maximum amplitude of driving the Darkness Force could reach 5 times, which is 200 times the power of a ninth-level World Lord. If it became 10 times the amplitude, then it could have more than 400 times the power of World Lord Power.

Silver Star Blood Demon said, "However, this power can only be unleashed for a short period of time, which will put a huge burden and damage on the body. After it has been unleashed once, it will be difficult to unleash it a second time in a short period of time. That's why this kind of unleashing is called risking one's life. That Heyan Blood Demon has suffered a huge loss this time. He won't be able to unleash such power again for at least a hundred years."

"The Killing Will can only be comprehended in this Absolute Prison. As time goes by, the killing intent permeating the Absolute Prison will become stronger and stronger, even making it difficult for Three-Star Blood Demon to control himself, and he will fall into endless killing. But once the killing reaches a certain level, as long as you can get through this test, you can comprehend the Killing Will."

"After comprehending the Killing Will, one can not only unleash the Darkness Force to achieve a tenfold Combat Power Amplitude, but also quickly fuse with the Origin Heart. Unlike those of us who haven't comprehended the Killing Will, even if we obtain the Origin Heart, it will take many years after leaving the Absolute Prison to successfully fuse with it. This is why many powerful members of the Prison Race are willing to come to the Killing Absolute Prison even though they know the chance of obtaining the Origin Heart is very low, because only here can they comprehend the Killing Will."

Chiling clone nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly paused, looking down at the crystal-clear and dazzling Origin Heart in his hand.

A strange, stirring feeling welled up within me, as if I were resonating with something far away.

Another Origin Heart!

Chiling clone exclaimed in surprise, "I can actually vaguely sense the approximate location of another Origin Heart!"

"Really?" Silver Star Blood Demon exclaimed in surprise, "Usually, each time the Absolute Prison opens, there's only one Origin Heart. I didn't know this was possible."

Chiling clone laughed, "Perfect, we're only missing one Origin Heart. Once we find the next one, we'll stop."

Silver Star Blood Demon's eyes showed a hint of excitement. Chiling's strength far surpassed his own, and he was extremely grateful that Chi Ling was still willing to fulfill his promise.

Chiling clone chuckled and shook his head. This Origin Heart was originally stolen by Silver Star, and the tunnel was also dug by him. Moreover, if it weren't for Silver Star's guidance, he might not have gone to the Central Mountain Range. Although he didn't consider himself a member of the Prison Race, he didn't regard all Prison Race lives as enemies either. Silver Star Blood Demon helped him, and he was willing to repay him.

Outside the Youhun Absolute Prison, on dozens of enormous thrones surrounding the mountain peak, the lords of the Prison Race were embroiled in a debate.

"It's unbelievable that a member of the Blackhorn Race possesses such a powerful Law Comprehension; even my Law Comprehension is inferior to his."

"Such a powerful Path of the Beast God, Lightning-Time Fusion Law, and a suddenly appearing Peak Blood Demon level expert... I think this Blackhorn Race is most likely a genius from the Luoxiao Race."

"If that's true, it's no wonder he attracted the attention of the Venerable One. How old is this Luoxiao Race genius? He's already cultivated the Thunder Beast God Path to such a high level. I think he's no less than that so-called number one human genius Jiang Yao..."

As the other lords chattered amongst themselves, the Youhun Prefecture Master's eyes gleamed with a sharp light. He pondered to himself, "It should be him, but I can still test him further. If the Ancestral God Stele he obtained truly came from the Suolun Master..."
