Given Illidan’s overwhelming strength, it’s actually not surprising that he could easily eradicate several Demon King level powerhouses, but at the moment when both sides clashed, many more than just those Demon King level powerhouses struck by Illidan met their doom.

Apart from him, among the directions the Seven Great Demon Kings launched their attacks, another Demon King level powerhouse also fell instantly. Especially the most outstanding Proud Demon King Ilya, who arrogantly swung her sword and directly took down two Demon King level powerhouses.

"Damn it! We’ve been deceived! Those Abyssal Demons had already sided with Illidan! The intel they sent was all fake! The Seven Great Demon Kings are not merely close to being demigods; they are indeed Demigod Demon Kings!"

In the horde of demons, a voice shouted loudly, cursing the demons who brought back the intel. If they had known the enemy faction’s power was so terrifying, they would have chosen to conquer another one or two Great Worlds, increasing their overall strength before returning. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Only now did they realize the opponent’s strength exceeded expectations, and it was undoubtedly too late. Although they have the advantage in numbers, seeing Illidan kill upon contact and the Seven Great Demon Kings casually wiping out Demon Kings of the same level, this battle seemed dire!

"I told you to flee early, yet you stubbornly chose to come back and deliver yourselves!"

Mochel was furious upon seeing the situation. His sacrificing interception was met with such an outcome; had he known, he might as well have escaped himself, biding time for a millennium to return and reclaim the throne as a Near God.

"Now that it has come to this, we can only fight desperately!"

The Second Prince, still recovering from severe injuries, could only handle ordinary Demon King level powerhouses at this point. Yet, despite his weakened state, he did not cower and still charged ahead.

Lynn was keen on using the two princes to drag the Yellow Springs Demon Kings and Purgatory Demigods down here, so he did not directly kill the Second Prince. The Seven Demon King sisters saw through his intention and simply avoided the two injured former princes, choosing weaker Demon King level opponents to face.

Under the full assault of the seven demons, ordinary Demon King level powerhouses were utterly outmatched. Even though outnumbered, they were still slaughtered mercilessly.

As for those reinforcements from the Dark and Chaos clans who were Demon King level powerhouses, although not as fierce as the One Emperor and Seven Kings on their side, they could still match the Yellow Springs Demon Kings and Purgatory Demigods one-on-one.

The battle was intensely fierce from the start, with demons getting injured and even falling. However, those who fell were all from the Destruction Demon God faction.

Especially along the line of Lynn’s assault, the enemy Demon King level powerhouses were falling in droves; without possessing multiple life-saving Demon Artifacts, virtually none could escape his charge alive.

"So this is what you meant by fighting back! Only after losing your lives do you realize the pain, right?"

After gritting his teeth and swallowing a rare piece of Demon Dragon Essence Blood, the Eldest Prince’s injuries began to gradually heal. Yet, like the Second Prince, even with such a Divine Artifact for healing, he could at most recover to the level of an ordinary Demigod in a short time. Returning fully to peak condition would be difficult without a decade of rest.

"The Celestial Mandate is not with us; this battle is doomed to failure!"

A Purgatory Demigod, before dying, wailed to the heavens. By now, even a blind man could see the situation clearly.

When the invincible enemy demons multiplied from one to eight, the defeat of the Destruction Demon God faction was already destined. Continuing to fight would only result in needless casualties.

"Protect the two Princes! They are the hope of the Destruction Demon God!"

A Yellow Springs Demon King fought while retreating, finally reaching the side of Mochel and his brother before repelling the opponent.

"Protect the two Princes’ retreat! We cannot continue fighting; we must preserve the last hope for the Destruction Demon God..."

The same cry echoed among the Purgatory Demigods. Suddenly, the Purgatory and Yellow Springs clans erupted with boundless ferocity, temporarily stabilizing the bloody situation, except for the line where they faced Illidan Demon Emperor’s direct assault.

"Your Highness, Eldest Prince, give me the array’s authority! I will hold them off while you and the Second Prince retreat with the demons!"

At this moment, a white-haired yet spirited Yellow Springs Demon King withdrew to Mochel’s side. In his hand was the corpse of a Demon King level powerhouse from the Dark Demon clan, one of the few from the Guardian Demon God faction killed in action.

"Lord Raymond, you..."

Mochel staggered at the sight of the incoming demon, recognizing the vast and powerful aura of the Yellow Springs Demon King. It was Raymond, his strongest rival when contending for the position of Grand Marshal of the Yellow Springs Demons.

In fact, both then and now, Raymond’s strength surpassed that of him, the Eldest Prince of the Demon Dragon. The outcome of that contest was deliberately allowed by Raymond to quickly establish Mochel’s prestige within the clan.

Raymond was a true pinnacle demigod with a strength level of 978, also proficient in all the Yellow Springs Demon’s magic, including the array he constructed.

If there was any other Demon King level powerhouse present who could die in his place and cover the others’ escape, it would be Raymond.

Yet previously, Mochel never considered having him substitute himself, as even though Raymond was stronger, he couldn’t match Illidan. Moreover, Raymond had fewer life-saving Demon Artifacts than him as the Eldest Prince. If Raymond were to cover the retreat, he wouldn’t be able to delay Illidan for long.
