Although the mechanical race's undying divine body had a special structure, before his Fire Void Law, it was still pathetically fragile.

Just as he was about to collect the spoils and continue searching for the next target, his intelligent optical brain suddenly emitted a sharp alert.

"Beep! Urgent military report! Received a distress signal from a human legion!"

Yan Ning raised an eyebrow and quickly opened the message.

"This is Thunder Prison Marquis of Barracks Base 36. Coordinates 362.589, encountering the main force of the Yao. The enemy is led by a peak Marquis-level Yao. Requesting support from nearby allies!"

A glint of sharp light flashed in Yan Ning's eyes.

"A peak Marquis-level Yao?"

He muttered to himself.

"That's far more interesting than these scattered undyings."

Moreover, a large-scale legion battle meant more undyings would gather—a perfect opportunity to complete his mission!

"Pull up the coordinates and calculate the arrival time."

Yan Ning immediately ordered.

"Calculating..."

The intelligent optical brain responded swiftly.

"The target is approximately one hundred and twenty billion kilometers from the current coordinates. If traveling through the dark universe, estimated arrival time is five minutes."

"Good."

Yan Ning stowed the spoils, turned, and entered the spaceship.

"Set off immediately!"

The F9-class ship's engines roared, instantly accelerating to light speed and entering the dark universe.

Yan Ning stood before the porthole, battle intent surging in his eyes.

"A peak Marquis-level Yao. I hope you don't disappoint me."

Meanwhile, at the other end of the battlefield, Thunder Prison Marquis was still barely holding on.

His divine body had already suffered over 30% damage, yet Blood Fang King remained as imposing as ever.

"Human, give up!"

Blood Fang King laughed wildly, his massive form coiling through the starry sky.

"Your reinforcements aren't coming!"

Thunder Prison Marquis did not reply, only tightening his grip on the thunder spear in his hand.

He knew that in another five minutes, if no reinforcements arrived, he would have to order a retreat.

But just then.

The distant starry sky suddenly twisted. Boom!

A massive crimson spaceship abruptly emerged from the dark universe.

A flicker of surprise and joy flashed in Thunder Prison Marquis's eyes. He thought to himself, "Reinforcements are here!"

He immediately rallied his troops through the legion channel: "Everyone, hold on! Our reinforcements have arrived!"

Blood Fang King's scarlet pupils contracted slightly. After a clear look, he burst into earth-shaking laughter: "Hahaha, just one measly ship dares to come and die? Today, let you humans witness what true power is!"

Boom!!

His aura erupted violently, and he struck Thunder Prison Marquis with a devastating blow, sending him flying.

Yan Ning's ship hovered above the battlefield. He stood with his hands behind his back, his sharp gaze sweeping across the entire battlefield.

In an instant, he had a complete grasp of the battle's situation.

"Thirty-two human legion undyings, forty-eight Yao."

He counted silently in his mind.

"Excellent. Enough for me to reap a harvest."

The intelligent optical brain rapidly analyzed the battlefield data: "Master, detected one peak Marquis-level Yao, twelve high-level undying commanders, and thirty-five ordinary undyings."

A dangerous curve lifted the corner of Yan Ning's mouth. "Looks like I'll exceed my quota today."

He stepped out of the ship. His golden battle armor gleamed brilliantly in the starry sky, and the dark red cape behind him fluttered without wind.

His terrifying aura spread like a tangible force, causing the entire battlefield's space to freeze.

"This is... a King-level presence?!"

Blood Fang King's massive body trembled violently, his scales involuntarily standing on end.

Thunder Prison Marquis's eyes widened in shock as well. "This pressure... a King!"

Yan Ning's voice rang out like thunder across the starry sky: "Human, Demon Flame Marquis!"

Five simple words, yet they sent a tremor through the entire demon beast legion.

The charging demon beast warriors halted mid-stride, staring in terror at the figure silhouetted against the starry sky.

Blood Fang King forced down his unease and barked, "Tricks and illusions!"

Before he could finish, Yan Ning moved.

"Raucous."

Yan Ning raised his right hand lightly, and a blade of flame spanning the stars slashed forth.

The strike was impossibly fast; Blood Fang King couldn't even react before his hundred-kilometer divine body was severed at the waist!

"What?!"

Blood Fang King stared in horror at his split form, roaring in disbelief.

His body rapidly regenerated, but thirty percent of his divine body had been annihilated in that single blow!

"You're a Pinnacle Marquis!!"

He shrieked.

Yan Ning watched coldly: "A demon beast's divine body may be vast, but before absolute power, it's just a bigger target."

As he spoke, he waved his left hand, and endless spatial laws enveloped the region.

"Space Seal!!"

"Damn it! Run!"

The immortal demon beasts panicked, struggling to flee but finding it futile.

Yan Ning had completely sealed this space—there was no escape.

A cold gleam flashed in Yan Ning's eyes: "All of you, stay."

"Boom—!"

Terrifying flames erupted, and the entire starry sky turned into a sea of fire.

Forty-eight immortal demon beasts screamed in agony as their divine bodies were slowly burned to ash.

The ordinary realm lords, domain lords, and universe-level beings were reduced to cinders instantly, powerless to resist.

Thunder Prison Marquis and all the human warriors stood frozen, stunned by the sight.

The formidable enemies they had struggled against for so long were crushed like ants before Yan Ning!

"Roar!!"

Blood Fang King let out a howl.

His entire scale armor blazed with blinding blood light, and his hundred-kilometer divine body erupted with terrifying energy like a burning star.

Space twisted violently under the force, groaning as if on the verge of collapse.

Divine Body Combustion!!

"Human! Don't get too cocky!"

Blood Fang King's voice thundered like a lightning strike.

"If I want to leave, you can't stop me!"

His massive form suddenly contracted, turning into a streak of blood light as he tore through space to escape.

The speed from burning his divine body let him break through the spatial seal in an instant, and he was about to vanish into the dark universe.

Yan Ning's eyes flashed coldly: "Big talk. Can you really leave?"

Swish!!

Yan Ning's form vanished instantly—teleportation!!

"Yan God Codex—Skyburn!"

His war blade fell, and a slash spanning the stars struck from behind, landing on Blood Fang King's divine body just as he was about to flee!

"Chii—"

With a grating sound, Blood Fang King let out a miserable scream.

"Ah!!"

"No... impossible!"

Blood Fang King's severed body tumbled through the starry sky as he stared in horror at his rapidly annihilating divine form.

That single blow had directly annihilated fifty percent of his divine body!

Yan Ning stepped forward, appearing before Blood Fang King's remnant form: "Die!"

"Boom!"

The blade swept through.

Blazing white flames carved through Blood Fang King's body, annihilating every last shred of his divine form.

This pinnacle Marquess-level demonic beast let out one final wail before turning to ash in the blazing flames.

Yan Ning raised a hand and beckoned; a blood-colored world ring flew into his palm. "A pinnacle Marquess's collection should be decent."

He turned to look at the dumbstruck Thunder Prison Marquis and the others. "What are you standing around for? Clean up the battlefield."

Only then did Thunder Prison Marquis snap out of his daze, hastily bowing. "Thank you, Demon Flame Marquis, for saving us! These spoils of war should all go to you, milord."

"No need. I'll just take this world ring."

Yan Ning waved a hand dismissively.
