"It's been burning for a month; their ancient bloodline is growing weaker."

"They cannot withstand the flames of our clan."

"With our current cultivation, we can forcibly refine and absorb their bloodline, and by then, our bloodline will surely transform into the ancient bloodline."

"If we possess the ancient bloodline, our clan will undoubtedly become the strongest ancient race in the Demon Realm."

At this moment.

The Clan Leader of the Fire-Swallowing Python Race and several elders began to converse, leisurely stepping into the Fire Cave.

They exuded an aura of bloodlust and sheer terror, with each step seeming to carry a power that oppresses everything.

At this instant.

The Fire Qilin's originally fiery red eyes, now dim and dull, widened in terror, and fear instantly filled its face.

The Fire Qilin struggled with all its might, causing the energy lock chains on its body to clatter, and roared in madness, "You demons, may you die horrible deaths! This ancestor will never spare you!"

The roar of the Fire Qilin, hoarse from pain and fear.

The Dragon Turtle, whose eyes were once filled with despair, was now suffused with deep fear. Its massive body trembled ever more violently, but it still roared, "Fire-Swallowing Python Race, for your wicked deeds, you will surely face divine punishment!"

The Eight-armed Demon Spider's eight legs flailed wildly, trying to break free from the binds, and it roared, "You shall never refine our ancient bloodline! This ancestor will fight you to the end!"

As it roared, the Eight-armed Demon Spider spewed black venom from its mouth, but in the terrifying flames, it evaporated instantly, entirely without threat.

The Giant Ape angrily pounded the ground, its eyes filled with bloodshot fury, snarling viciously, "Shameless bastards! If this ancestor survives, I will tear you to pieces!"

The Clan Leader of the Fire-Swallowing Python Race smirked coldly, disdainfully saying, "Hmph, on the brink of death yet still talking tough."

The Clan Leader's narrow eyes glinted with greed and triumph.

An elder sneered mockingly, "Just you? Mere Demon Kings; in the eyes of the Fire-Swallowing Python Race, you're nothing more than ants, yet you still dream of resisting?"

Another elder followed, mocking, "Your ancient bloodline will surely become a great asset to our Fire-Swallowing Python Race today. Cooperate, and maybe you'll live."

The four demon beasts, hearing their words, felt their despair deepen.

The Fire Qilin panted heavily, its heart full of resentment and grief, "How could this ancestor end up in such a state!"

The Dragon Turtle's shell already had cracks, and it despaired, "This ancestor never submitted in life, yet now faces such a calamity. This ancestor is unwilling!"

The Eight-armed Demon Spider's eyes flashed with a hint of determination, fiercely angry, "Even if it means death, I will not let you succeed easily! This ancestor will self-destruct; let's see how you'll refine the ancient bloodline!"

The Giant Ape continued to roar angrily, "Let's self-destruct together! You shall never succeed!"

The Clan Leader of the Fire-Swallowing Python Race sneered contemptuously, "With mere Demon King cultivation, you dare to threaten self-destruction in front of this clan leader. Utter foolishness."

"Despicable scoundrels!"

"You'll die terrible deaths! Even as ghosts, we won't spare you!"

"A distinguished clan leader, yet so shameless! You old fool, you'll have no good end!"

The four demon beasts cursed furiously, filled with hatred, wishing to tear the Clan Leader and the elders of the Fire-Swallowing Python Race to pieces, skin them alive.

Alas, their cultivation was too weak, utterly powerless to resist.

The Clan Leader of the Fire-Swallowing Python Race ignored their curses, forming seals with his hands, preparing to deploy the refining technique.

A terrifying power converged in his hands, and the surrounding flames suddenly became more ferocious, rushing madly toward the four demon beasts.

The four demon beasts felt the fatal threat and struggled even more desperately, their roars, curses, and the sound of flames howling mingling to form a symphony of despair in the Fire Cave.

Meanwhile.

On the road to the Fire-Swallowing Python Race.

Flame Shadow looked at Gu Chenfeng, smiling slightly, "Young Feng, the Fire-Swallowing Python Race's strength is terrifying. I can't handle the six Demon Venerables, so I'll be counting on you; I can at most deal with a few Demon Emperor experts."

Gu Chenfeng, capable of dealing with Demigod experts, could easily handle six Demon Venerables.

Flame Shadow curiously asked, "By the way, what's the story with those demon beasts? Are you familiar with them?"

"Yes." Gu Chenfeng nodded and said, "They are ancient demon beasts from the Cultivation Realm, and accompanied me in Crossing Tribulation and Ascending. However, they ascended to the Demon Realm."

"Their ability to awaken the ancient bloodline was a surprise to me. Perhaps it's due to their ascension, leading to unexpected gains."

In the Cultivation Realm, the ancestors of the four demon beasts cultivated for many years yet never possessed bloodline power.

It was only after ascension they gained this power.

Flame Shadow, frowning, speculated, "Their awakening of the ancient bloodline being stronger than the ancient race's Fire-Swallowing Python Race can only mean their ancestors were extraordinary."

"I've heard about the Ice Phoenix. My grandfather speculates that the Ice Phoenix's ancestor was the Phoenix Divine Beast. If she came to the Demon Realm, all races would bow."

Gu Chenfeng smiled faintly, "I do plan for that, but not now."

The Ice Phoenix, possessing a terrifying Divine Beast bloodline, would undoubtedly shake the entire Demon Realm if she came.

Two hours later.

Gu Chenfeng and Flame Shadow successfully arrived at Demon City.

"People from the Immortal Realm? What a rare sight."

"Hmph! It seems they've come to the Demon Realm again looking for precious herbs, treating our realm as a treasure trove!"

"It's been years since Immortal Realm people were seen. To step into the Demon Realm at a young age, their cultivation must be strong."

As they passed over Demon City, they drew the attention of many powerful beings there.

A Demon Emperor strongman confidently smiled, "That kid might have some skills, but I don't believe the young one is that strong. Rarely do Immortal Realm people show up, so let me test their strength."

As he finished speaking.

The Demon Emperor expert suddenly unleashed a terrifying aura, forcefully suppressing Gu Chenfeng and Flame Shadow.

The Demon Emperor expert smiled coldly, "Where are you two hurrying off to?"

Gu Chenfeng and Flame Shadow halted, their gaze fixed downward on the Demon Emperor expert.

"Middle Stage Demon Emperor." Flame Shadow grinned, his eyes flashing with disdain, and coldly smirked, "What? Do you want to fight?"

Amid excited and expectant gazes, the Demon Emperor slowly ascended, gradually increasing the astonishing demon power on his body.

"Buzzing!"

Demon City began to shake, then grew increasingly intense.

With a hint of arrogance, the Demon Emperor's face twisted into a cold smile, "To tread into the Demon Realm, you must have some strength. This Demon Emperor wants to test it." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"No need for tests!" Gu Chenfeng said coldly, suddenly unleashing a domineering and terrifying aura, mercilessly suppressing the Demon Emperor expert.

"Spurt!"

Amidst the terrified gazes of the Demon City's crowd, the Demon Emperor's face changed drastically, blood spurting from his mouth as he was directly smashed into the capital.

"Immortal... Immortal Venerable!" The crowd in Demon City exclaimed.
