When she heard Ling Xiao's words, the Demon Empress instantly felt her scalp prickle.
Only now did she finally realize that all of this had been part of Ling Xiao's scheme.
He had gone out onto the sea to undergo his tribulation precisely to lure her ashore.
Once she left the sea, with Ling Xiao's spatial power, she had no chance of escaping safely from his grasp.
The reason Ling Xiao had not gone looking for the Evil Monarch was that he stayed in the Evil Demon Forest.
If Ling Xiao wanted to take his life, he could flatten the Evil Demon Forest in a matter of minutes.
But if she hid deep beneath the sea, even Ling Xiao's spatial abilities might not allow him to catch her underwater.
Realizing she had fallen into his trap, the Demon Empress instantly unleashed her full strength to flee.
But how could Ling Xiao possibly let her go? He had already given her a chance, proposing just moments ago that they work together against Tang San.
Yet when the Evil Monarch had provoked him, the Demon Empress's silence had amounted to tacit agreement, so Ling Xiao no longer bothered trying to persuade her.
Ling Xiao slowly intoned:
"Endless Thunder Domain, open!"
In an instant, power spread in every direction with Ling Xiao at its center, forming a Thunder Domain that enveloped heaven and earth.
The moment the Thunder Domain closed over her head, the Demon Empress knew she was finished.
But she had yet to avenge her husband, and naturally refused to die just like this, so she continued fleeing for her life.
Any enemy within the Thunder Domain would be restrained by the spatial law within it.
No matter how desperately the Demon Empress fled, she could not escape this Thunder Domain
