He stretched out his "hand" and took the bone spike handed to him by the demon general, making a gesture to pierce his fingertip.

Just as the bone spike was about to touch the fingertip, a sudden change occurred!

A fierce light flashed in Xu Guang's eyes, and his fingers were like a knife, no longer in disguise, but gathered with the power of Nirvana Transformation and the power of the Green Emperor's divine body, imbued with the true intent of age-killing and the aura of annihilation, he fiercely sliced towards the root of the dragon tree!

At the same time, his other hand forcefully pushed Yan Ruge back, shouting through sound transmission: "Go!"

"Crack!"

A crisp breaking sound echoed!

The incredibly tough dragon tree roots, nourished by the essence blood of thousands of demons, were sliced open by Xu Guang's long-planned strike that gathered the Green Emperor's Power of Annihilation, creating a massive fissure!

"Roar!!!"

The dragon tree seemed to have spirituality and emitted a painful screech, as its abundant water attribute qi and dragon qi poured out like a breached flood from the fissure!

The entire palace was instantly filled with dazzling blue light and a rich exotic aroma!

"Damn!!!"

The Black Turtle Demon King sitting high on the throne was the first to react, releasing a thunderous roar!

It never expected that a mere "First Grade Sea Serpent Demon" would dare to destroy the dragon tree it regarded as its lifeblood!

The colossal rage was like a substantial tsunami, crashing towards Xu Guang!

Xu Guang was well-prepared. At the moment he severed the dragon tree roots, the Green Emperor's divine body manifested, no longer resembling the image of a middle-aged Emperor, but merging with his true form. His entire body surged with blue light, withstanding the terrifying pressure of the Demon King, while his hand grasped the severed main trunk still releasing abundant qi, forcibly capturing it!

It felt heavy and cold in his hand, as if he were holding a struggling live dragon!

"Little thief! Hand over your life!" The Black Turtle Demon King erupted in fury, its huge body suddenly disappearing from the throne.

In the next instant, it appeared overhead Xu Guang, a massive claw covered with thick brown scales descended with the power to crush mountains, aiming directly at him! Even before the claw arrived, the terrifying pressure had already solidified the surrounding space!

The might of a Second Nirvana Demon King unleashed in anger was truly terrifying!

Xu Guang's pupils contracted, knowing that it was impossible to directly confront this attack.

Without hesitation, he stuffed the dragon tree trunk into his bosom, and the qi and source qi within his body began to circulate at unprecedented speed!

"Return to Cang!"

Boom!

A minuscule blood sun emerged behind him, then rapidly collapsed, transforming into extreme restraint.

He seemed to turn into a shadow of nothingness, speed soaring to the limit, amidst the water essence in the derelict palace, turning into blood rain, narrowly avoiding the earth-shaking giant claw!

The giant claw descended, reducing the place where Xu Guang originally stood to powder, forming a bottomless crater in the seabed rock, the shockwave instantly turning dozens of nearby demon soldiers into blood mist!

"Huh?" The Black Turtle Demon King missed its strike, a hint of surprise flashed in its eyes.

It hadn't anticipated that this "Sea Serpent Demon" had not only concealed its strength but also demonstrated such bizarre and swift speed!

Meanwhile, Yan Ruge, whom Xu Guang had pushed away, wasn't idle.

She focused intensely, the light of the age-killing pearl in her hand shone brightly, forming a time-distorting barrier in front of her to temporarily block a few demon generals rushing towards her.

With her other hand, she flicked out several starlight talismans, aiming at various supporting columns in the palace!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Explosions sounded in succession, stone pillars collapsed, ceiling shattered, large boulders mixed with seawater fell down, instantly causing greater chaos and panic among the disordered demon crowd!

"Stop them! Don't let that kid escape!" A demon general roared angrily, commanding the demon soldiers and generals under its command to block them.

"Where do you think you're going!" The Black Turtle Demon King's huge body exploded with astonishing speed unmatched by its size, the dragon head roaring, a turbid brown beam post-haste, carrying overwhelming force, shot towards Xu Guang's back!

This strike, sent forth in anger, showcased the real power of the Second Nirvana Demon King, far beyond prior probing.

Where the beam passed, seawater was swept away, forming a vacuum channel, space subtly distorted.

Xu Guang's scalp tingled, realizing he must not confront it directly.

He swiftly pushed Yan Ruge forward, while forcibly twisting his form, Residual Rain Divine Power and Oblivion's True Intent reaching their limits, as if integrating into the surrounding environment, narrowly grazing the edge of the beam.

Yet, the terrifying lingering force still roiled his qi and blood, a sweet sensation in his throat.

"Poof!" He forcibly suppressed the blood rising from his throat, leveraging the force to accelerate again, dashed through the palace crevice, and into the dark and cold seawater outside.

"Chase! Seal a thousand miles around! He must not escape!" The Black Turtle Demon King roared angrily, its massive demon body transforming into yellow light, giving chase.

Its demon generals and soldiers, like awakened from a dream, rushed out of the palace in fervor, launching a pursuit and blockade.

The seabed world instantly fell into chaos.

Xu Guang, clasping the weakened Yan Ruge, pushed his speed to the limits, frantically weaving through the rugged seabed reefs, deep canyons, and dense, peculiar seaweed forests.

He dared not escape in a straight line, constantly changing directions, attempting to use the complex terrain to shake off his pursuers.

However, the Black Turtle Demon King's divine thought clung to him like a leech, relentlessly tracking him.

On one hand, the unique aura emitted by the dragon tree trunk in Xu Guang's arms was difficult to fully conceal,

On the other hand, the Second Nirvana Demon King's divine thought enveloped a vast range. Xu Guang, though fast having just broken into First Nirvana, found it extremely challenging to completely shake off them in a short time.

"This isn't working!" Yan Ruge lay on Xu Guang's back, her voice urgent, "Its divine thought lock is too strong!"
