Red Devil True Lord's delay had undoubtedly given Purple Firmament True Lord and True Lord Wufa an opening.
At that moment, both unleashed terrifying speed.
Purple spiritual light poured from Purple Firmament True Lord's body, forming a long purple bridge that carried him to the summit in a single step.
Three streaks of dark light likewise flashed around True Lord Wufa, turning into three coffin bearers that hauled him straight to the top.
Red Devil True Lord, by contrast, still had several steps to go because of Ye Jingcheng and True Lord Yuntian's interference.
His earlier composure vanished, replaced by a trace of anxiety. After all, this was a Heaven-Reaching spirit treasure.
With this treasure, given enough time to refine it and master the Treasure-Linking Art, a Spirit Transformation cultivator could hold off three opponents without much difficulty, especially with the support of a Divine Domain.
Thus, no one was willing to give it up, much less let it fall into another's hands.
Red Devil True Lord's eyes narrowed, as though he had made a decision. He drove the four heavenly devils toward Ye Jingcheng and True Lord Yuntian again, forcing both men and all three beasts to retreat.
Then he stepped backward and leaped into the air, actually ignoring the flight-restricting formation. The move sent a violent shudder through his body, and countless spiderweb-like cracks even appeared across it, making for a horrifying sight.
Strong as Red Devil was, he too focused on magical power. Although his body had the strength of the nascent soul early stage, that was nowhere near enough against the flight-restricting formation and immense pressure within the Northern Abyss Secret Realm.
Fortunately, by forcibly enduring it, he still managed to reach the palace roof.
Now it was Purple Firmament True Lord's turn to be alarmed.
