Hong Mao alone held off three of the Nine Corpse Demon Emperor's avatars, while the other Six Heroes each wielded a treasured sword and fought one avatar apiece.
The Nine Corpse Demon Emperor was somewhat speechless. What was wrong with this cat? How could he summon all these strange animals? And they were even strong enough to block my avatars.
Although he had not been free of the seal for long and his nine avatars had only just recovered, it did not affect his strength. His power had already returned to its peak.
The Nine Corpse Demon Emperor had been sealed by the Heavenly Emperor of the Ancient Heavenly Palace, and the Heavenly Emperor had sacrificed his life for it, just like Futuo Ancestor.
Although the Ancient Heavenly Palace and the Ancient Royal Court both bore the word "Ancient," they were fundamentally not forces of the same level.
The Ancient Heavenly Palace was comparable to the Great Thousand Palace, though it had declined greatly in comparison.
It had even been heavily infiltrated by the Outer Realm Demons. Otherwise, the Nine Corpse Demon Emperor would not have escaped his seal without the Ancient Heavenly Palace showing any response.
In the ancient battle, the Heavenly Emperor had shattered seven of the Nine Corpse Demon Emperor's avatars. After escaping the seal, he had only managed to gather all nine avatars with great difficulty. He did not want his avatars to be shattered again.
