The Devil Ancestor's voice was still echoing through the void when that Pitch-Black Devil Blade had already cleaved through empty space. Before the blade's edge arrived, its blade intent had already sliced the space around Hengkong Human King into a dense web of black cracks.
At the edges of the cracks burned ghostly green demon flames. That was the ultimate form of the Chaos Demon Flame—burning the heavens and destroying the earth, able to burn through even the void itself.
