The Dharma-Ending Heavenly Demon looked grim.
It had been so long since it had last been injured that it could no longer remember when.
There was no doubt that the feeling was unpleasant.
And when the culprit was a newcomer countless years younger than it, that only made the Dharma-Ending Heavenly Demon angrier.
Sensing what was happening inside the Gate of Eternal Life, the Dharma-Ending Heavenly Demon knew its plan had failed.
Not only had it failed to obtain the Gate of Eternal Life, it had also lost a strand of Dao Ancestor Qi.
Worse, it had become a stepping stone for the person before it.
After this battle, that person's fame would soar far beyond what it had been before.
And that fame would spread at its expense.
Whenever the Great Powers of the Chaos Sea spoke of Meng Chuan in the future, they would surely mention how he had fought the Dharma-Ending Heavenly Demon and gained the upper hand over that Demon King.
Perhaps some "Martial World elders" would not mind serving as a stepping stone, and would even be happy to give a junior a boost.
The Dharma-Ending Heavenly Demon was certainly not one of them. That much was beyond doubt.
But angry as it was, the Dharma-Ending Heavenly Demon knew it was time to leave.
The Dao Ancestor Qi was nearly spent. Soon it would no longer be able to keep the Gate of Eternal Life sealed.
Then Fang Han could return to his true body and undergo his ultimate transformation. It would be complete in an instant, vaulting him into the ranks of the Chaos Sea's foremost figures.
If it did not leave now, Meng Chuan and Fang Han would gang up on it next.
The price it paid then would certainly be far heavier
