Supreme Titus of the Demonic Realm was far more troublesome than Evan Chu had imagined. Evan had already judged Titus's power to be incredibly high, but now he realized that Titus's methods also surpassed the Three Realms and exceeded his understanding. It seemed that even after being suppressed, Titus hadn't been idle—he'd gained plenty of things to make himself stronger.
"Frostbane, you give me a strong sense of crisis. I admit your power isn't any weaker than mine, but so what? In the end, you'll still lose to me!
That's right, your Chaos World Domain can suppress me, and the Big Dipper has a natural restraining effect on evil stars. But I have a trump card you absolutely don't have, and you can't possibly withstand it!
After Titus finished speaking, the unease in Evan Chu's heart grew even stronger.
Rumble— The space where Evan battled Titus wasn't the only place changing; even the Three Realms themselves were undergoing massive upheaval.
"All-Spirits Blood Sacrifice, grant me supreme power!"
A colossal demonic shadow surged up behind Titus, and the blood-red giant eye in the endless void shot out beams of scarlet light.
"This is bad! That guy's gone completely insane—he's forcibly extracting the blood and demon souls of everyone in the Demonic Realm, using some twisted method to boost his power, or maybe even to trigger the early descent of the Blood-stained Demon Star!"
Evan Chu finally realized where his sense of dread was coming from—right here! There were tens of millions of lives in the Demon Clan; if Titus really went through with a mad blood sacrifice, it'd be a sea of blood. And what made Evan's heart race with fear was that, in a way, Selena and Lynn Chu were also considered Demon Realm beings. He had no idea if Titus's demonic soul blood sacrifice would affect them.
Logically, the deaths of Demon Realm beings shouldn't matter to Evan Chu at all. But if Selena and Lynn Chu were involved, he couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
What's more, if Titus keeps using these methods to build up his power, he'll soon become a massive threat to Evan Chu! No matter how you looked at it, Evan had to act and stop him—otherwise, even if he unified the Three Realms, they'd end up a broken mess.
He wanted to unify and rule over a thriving, flourishing Three Realms!
But in just the short time Evan was thinking, the Demonic Realm army that had just taken Frostbane Divine Capital and was celebrating had already seen more than a hundred thousand of their own have their demon souls and demon blood vanish in a bizarre way.
And before they completely perished, these fanatical loyalists murmured softly, "It's Demon Emperor Titus, summoning us..."
"For the eternal glory of the Demonic Realm, we would die a thousand deaths without regret!"
But a few of the Demonic Realm higher-ups still noticed something was wrong—for instance, the fake Princess Serena, who'd been leading the demonic army to conquer God Realm territory.
"The Frostbane Divine Palace experts suddenly gave up resisting and withdrew completely, letting us take Frostbane Divine Capital and enter their base with almost no effort. That's not normal! And what's even stranger is that with all this chaos in Frostbane Divine Palace, Evan Chu still hasn't shown himself—why?
Now, some weird force is pulling at the essence blood and demon souls of everyone in the Demonic Realm, starting with the weakest and devouring them step by step. Anyone below Demon King rank can't resist at all!"
Fake Princess Serena frowned, deep in thought. For the first time, she felt like she'd made a terrible mistake—she never should've helped bring Titus back. The resurrected Titus wasn't the same as before; his thoughts and power had changed, making him even bloodier and more ruthless than Wotan!
"That's definitely it! Evan Chu must be fighting Demon Emperor Titus right now, and they've reached the life-and-death critical moment. Evan's final decision was to let the Frostbane Divine Palace experts withdraw and avoid pointless sacrifice, while Titus's ultimate choice is to sacrifice the entire Demonic Realm, destroying all its lives just to empower himself!"
Fake Princess Serena understood: the Titus she helped revive had already lost all basic humanity. Not only would he fail to lead the Demon Clan to glory—his first step toward empowering himself was to destroy all life in the Demonic Realm!
You had to admit, heart-devil types like Fake Princess Serena were the smartest beings in the Demonic Realm. Her guess, while not perfect, was almost spot-on.
As time went on, the force pulling at everyone's demon souls and essence blood grew stronger. By now, anyone below early Demon Emperor rank couldn't hold out for even three breaths.
"Demon Realm beings! Titus is a thankless bastard who betrayed our hopes! To empower himself, he'll stop at nothing—even if it means wiping out the entire Demon Clan!
We absolutely can't just sit and wait to die. Even if we end up bowing to the God Realm, at least we'll still be alive—the Demon Clan will still exist in the Three Realms, and there will still be hope!
But now Titus has turned on us, crazily destroying the Demon Realm's chance to unify the Three Realms. We can't let him get away with this—everyone must resist together!"
At Fake Princess Serena's command, her earliest loyal elders responded immediately, and many Demon Sovereign-level experts began working together to resist the force pulling at their demon souls and essence blood.
Meanwhile, in the endless void, Titus frowned and cursed: "Foolish things! You dare defy your emperor's will!"
Boom! Princess Serena and several leading elders' bodies exploded from within—clearly Titus had targeted them directly. Fake Princess Serena, seeing this, was heartbroken but her suspicions were completely confirmed.
With a ruler like this, Heaven really does mean to wipe out the Demon Clan!
On Evan Chu's side, things hadn't stopped either. He knew the power Titus was gathering this time far exceeded anything before—and this was likely their final clash. Winner takes all; only one would be left standing!
"Fuse!"
Evan Chu called out softly, and his nine battered elemental law avatars merged back into his true body. Once fused, Evan was fully healed, a terrifying aura surging around him. He entered a rare, ethereal state—almost as if sensing something deeper...
Another dozen breaths passed, and the Demonic Realm's population in the Three Realms died en masse. Only those above Demon Sovereign rank who resisted together survived; below Demon Sovereign, not a single life remained!
Is this really our emperor?
An emperor who wants to wipe out the entire Demon Clan?
The Demon Realm's people fell into utter despair—the contrast with their earlier joy at conquering God Realm territory couldn't have been greater.
Right now, Titus was more excited than ever. In the blood-red giant eye in the endless void, he saw the edge of the Blood-stained Demon Star slowly moving into view, radiating a terrifying, evil power...
The Blood-stained Demon Star couldn't be stopped—it had appeared!
