In the Outer Heavens, within the Purple Star Starfield, demonic clouds blanketed the skies, and the myriad stars dimmed.
The calamity of the Scale Clan spread across several Great Life Stars. Living beings suffered unspeakably, and Xuan Cang wept.
In the starry sky, centered on the Scale King, stars withered one after another, all vitality devoured by the Life Sacrifice Array.
Before the Scale King, the Queen Mother's Hairpin continuously absorbed the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy within the great vitality array. Its aura grew stronger by the day, faintly restoring the majesty of the ancient artifact that once sealed demons.
As all living beings wept in grief, three figures appeared outside the Life Sacrifice Array, their powerful auras several times greater than before.
"Begin," said the Moonlit Tower Master.
"Mm."
Xia Ziyi nodded and stepped forward. The demonic qi around him grew ever stronger. Amid a sky full of drifting black feathers, a peerless demonic weapon manifested—more than six feet long, like a spear yet not a spear. Apocalyptic Fury had returned to the world.
With the demonic weapon in hand, the demon's aura became even more powerful, and his eyes gradually darkened.
Not far away, the Moonlit Tower Master looked at the six-foot demonic sword in the other man's hand, a strange glint flashing through her eyes. This demonic weapon was truly identical to that legendary divine artifact.
As the great battle was about to begin, the Scale King's expression darkened within the Life Sacrifice Array. Condensing essence in his right palm, he struck toward the heavens.
The howling, surging palm force swept forth with the power to destroy heaven and earth. Its might was shocking, a sight never before seen in the mortal world.
Seeing this, the three figures ahead flashed away, evading the king's palm force.
