"Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!"
As soon as the first strange sound rang out, every member of the Devil Race could clearly see the corpse Devil Qi lingering in that chaotic area evaporating at a furious pace!
Within a few short breaths, all the corpse Devil Qi had evaporated, revealing the scene within.
At that moment, every member of the Devil Race stared in utter astonishment at Su Ya and the others, who were enveloped in a golden curtain of light.
Even Su Ting, who had been at the center of the explosion and taken the corpse Qi devil dragon's attack head-on, was unharmed, though he should have been reduced to ashes.
That attack, so powerful that no devil or human present could have withstood it, had failed to tear even a corner of Su Ting's clothes!
"Impossible!!!"
The Devil Emperor of All Living Beings was even more shocked than everyone else.
He was the first to speak, thousands upon thousands of voices issuing from his mouth, each filled with disbelief.
For the first time since he had appeared, his composure slipped!
As someone who possessed the power of a Pseudo-Immortal, he knew all too well what this meant.
The being who had intervened to protect Su Ting and the others was certainly no weaker than him in cultivation or power.
Only he knew how he had reached his present realm.
In other words, he should have been the only one in the Black-Yellow Realm at the Half-Immortal Realm. There couldn't possibly be a second!
"It's the patriarch!"
"Hahaha! The patriarch has made his move! The patriarch is invincible!"
"The patriarch is the GOAT!"
On the other side, Su Ya and the others inside the golden curtain of light finally put their worries to rest.
They knew the patriarch had followed them, but when they learned that the Devil Emperor of All Living Beings had reached that level, they couldn't help worrying.
Judging by the result, their patriarch was at least not the slightest bit weaker than the Devil Emperor of All Living Beings!
"The patriarch?"
Su Shuang'er's emotions were also on a roller coaster.
"Father? Wasn't he nearing the end of his lifespan and in secluded cultivation with no intention of emerging until he broke through? Could Father really have broken through?"
"Never mind the nine previous generations of our Su Clan's patriarchs-even if you go back hundreds of thousands of years, no one ever broke through to this realm!"
After seeing that Su Ting and the others were safe, the others were also full of questions.
After all, before this, what they knew of their father was that he had gone into secluded cultivation with no intention of emerging until he broke through.
None of them had thought he would succeed, because the previous nine generations of patriarchs had all failed.
"Su Chen, is that you? Since you're here, stop playing ghost and god. This emperor wants to see just how capable you are now!"
At that moment, the Devil Emperor of All Living Beings had eyes for no one else.
He turned and swept his gaze over his surroundings, trying to find Su Chen.
But no matter how he searched, he couldn't sense the slightest trace of Su Chen's presence.
Just as he was about to turn his attention to Su Shuang'er and the other three, a voice like the voice of heaven slowly rang out.
"Desolation... Heaven-Imprisoning Finger!"
The instant the final word fell, the entire sky was dyed a dazzling gold.
Then the mighty power of the Great Dao gathered above the heavens.
At that moment, it was as if all the energy of heaven and earth in the Black-Yellow Realm had been drawn into the sky.
An inverted golden vortex slowly took shape.
Countless golden rays turned into a golden rain of light that showered down.
When the rain of light fell upon the members of the Devil Race, every one of them discovered in horror that the golden light clung to their devil bodies and even their souls like maggots on bone.
That wasn't even the most important part.
The golden light seemed to contain a power naturally capable of purifying the Devil Race.
One devil after another could only watch as their bodies were completely purged by the golden light.
Seeing what had happened to them, the quicker devils among the others decisively chopped off their own limbs without the slightest hesitation as soon as the golden rain fell on their arms or legs.
Unfortunately, even though they had cut off their limbs in time, the power of the golden rain immediately clung to other parts of their bodies.
"Aaaaah!!!"
"Emperor! Emperor! Emperor! Save us!"
"Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"No, no, no! What kind of power is this?!"
"We finally escaped the Nine Heavens Devil-Suppressing Mystic Firmament Grand Array! How could the human race produce such a powerful expert?!"
"Emperor! We don't want to die! We still wish to follow you in unifying the Black-Yellow Realm! Please act and fight this fiend!"
In the blink of an eye, the situation had reversed. The Devil Race, who should have been ecstatic, now filled every corner of the Realm Sea with their wails and cries of despair.
Countless devils were also fleeing the golden rain in disarray.
Even Devil Emperor-level experts who touched it were completely purified into nothingness.
"Su Chen, come out here if you have the guts!"
The Devil Emperor of All Living Beings looked at the grievous losses suffered by the Devil Race and roared hoarsely.
Powerless!
That feeling of powerlessness again.
Just like when he had been surrounded by the twelve Great Emperor clans and sealed in the Realm Sea.
But the moment he finished speaking, an enormous golden finger slowly emerged from the inverted vortex in the sky.
Then it descended straight from the heavens and pressed down upon the entire Realm Sea.
In an instant, gold filled the eyes of every human and devil, even blinding them for a brief moment.
No one knew how long it took before their vision gradually returned.
At the sight before them, the entire place fell deathly silent!
Of the ninety-one Devil Emperors, including the Devil Emperor of All Living Beings, only forty remained.
The Devil Emperor of All Living Beings' figure, once as massive as a small mountain, had vanished without a trace.
And of the ten-million-strong devil army, only around five million remained.
That meant this single finger had killed half the Devil Emperors and half the devil army!
And that wasn't even the limit of the attack.
Because everyone realized one thing.
Someone capable of precisely wiping out exactly half the Devil Emperors and half the devil army was very likely capable of wiping out the entire Devil Race.
Had so many devils been left alive on purpose?
Terror, hearts and guts torn apart, bodies gone limp, souls scattered, faith shattered-every expression of despair showed on the faces of the surviving devils.
"I actually came out, and now you're unhappy again!"
The next second, a flippant voice rang out across the Realm Sea.
A young man in a green robe appeared at the same time.
The instant he appeared, the storms above the entire Realm Sea fell still.
Even the black-red waters of the Realm Sea, stained for who knew how many years, turned clear again.
Spiritual Qi rose from the sea, every drop of water like a spiritual spring!
The instant the devils saw the newcomer, they even felt the Devil Qi within them retreating frantically and involuntarily into the deepest parts of their bodies.
It was as if it had sensed the most terrifying thing in the world.
The one who had emerged was none other than Su Chen!
"You... wanted to kill my son?"
Suddenly, Su Chen's gaze locked precisely onto the Heaven-Burning Devil Emperor.
He merely pointed with his index finger, and a tiny golden flame shot from it, tearing straight through the void to appear before the Heaven-Burning Devil Emperor.
"No, no, no!"
Before the Heaven-Burning Devil Emperor could react, the wisp of golden flame abruptly surged and turned into a cage of fire around him.
No matter how the Heaven-Burning Devil Emperor resisted, it was all in vain!
"Aaaaah!"
"Puff!"
Then, before everyone's eyes, the Heaven-Burning Devil Emperor, whose cultivation had reached the peak of minor perfection among Devil Emperors, was forcibly burned and refined.
Finally, his entire devil body exploded with a bang, turning into golden powder that drifted down!
