Once Gu Xinao killed the War Bear, the Demon Sage ranked thirty-sixth, this bloody struggle took on a different character!
In the past, whether they were Demon Sages, Demon Venerables, or Demon Gods, they had always held back in their battles to the death. They knew that, enemies though they were, they all belonged to the Demon Race. Their allegiances and beliefs simply differed. Besides, no matter which of them died, outsiders would benefit. If they fought without restraint, sooner or later their three factions would hand everything to Ren and the Demon Cult!
That was why the Demon Venerables, Demon Sages, and Demon Gods curbed their killing intent. Dijun, Taiyi, and Kunpeng had to do the same!
Of course, since the three Demon Race Rankings were established, some battles had gone too far and ended in death. But those who died had been weak, low-ranked fighters!
The Demon Sage Gu Xinao had just killed, however, was ranked thirty-sixth. He was no low-ranked fighter!
That shattered the taboo and dragged most of the Primordial World's major forces into the conflict!
Killing intent spread and tangled through the East Sea Shore, turning this battle into something altogether different!
Every fight grew vicious. Each combatant now meant to kill the enemy!
Seeing this, those who had intended to stay hidden and avoid the fighting—including the Shrouding Host—finally charged in!
When members of the Shrouding Host saw younger fighters in danger after choosing the wrong opponents, they stepped in to take their places!
The Saint Prince, for instance, saw his uncle, the Battle Victorious Buddha, take on the Six-Eared Macaque. He raised the Immortal Iron Staff and charged at the War Demon Beast, ranked ninth among the Ten Great Demon Beasts!
The War Demon Beast was an odd creature born of Wu Clan
