"Moonlight Emperor! Quick! Stop that demon!"

An elder rushed up, grabbing Yang Yan's arm and shouted excitedly.

"Shut up, let go!"

Yang Yan impatiently pushed them away, glaring fiercely.

This group of people, intimidated by his gaze, took a step back.

Yang Yan couldn't be bothered with them, roaring:

"If you don't want to end up perishing with the Demon Race, then quickly think of a way! I'm not a god!"

The group fell silent immediately, not daring to speak.

These families had each sent out one or two of their top warriors.

Among them were some top-tier titled powerhouses, second only to the Four Emperors.

However, these once-exceptional warriors couldn't escape being torn apart by the headless demon inside.

That they were still standing here already took immense courage.

Though Yang Yan was frustrated, he realized there was still hope.

At the very least, space was still trembling.

Yang Yan had feared that, when he arrived, everything would be calm.

If that were the case, it'd be truly over!

Entering from the Hidden World to Buzhou Space originally had a checkpoint.

The major families of the Hidden Clan would send experts to guard the entrance of Buzhou Space every few years.

The families had also set up an elaborate formation at the entrance over the years.

But now, all of it was gone.

Cleared away by the magic of that demon god's axe.

However, the opponent left no barrier, and Yang Yan wasn't hindered as he rushed inside.

The first scene in Buzhou Space was a gigantic headless demon.

His body had skin that was a purple-tinged blue, with muscles resembling massive stones.

In his hand, he wielded a huge stone axe, relentlessly hacking at the core of Buzhou Space, seemingly tireless.

Even though there was an energy shield surrounding the core, it was evidently at its limit.

A few more swings and it might completely shatter!

Then the core energy would be exposed to everyone.

And the headless demon god would just need a single more swing to break the Hidden World's space barrier from the inside out!

The external demon race wouldn't even need to exert much effort to invade the Hidden World.

Once they successfully occupy the Hidden World, they could then march into the present world through the channels of the Hidden World, with unimaginable consequences.

"Stop!"

Seeing that his arrival only drew a casual glance from the demon, who continued to hack at the core, Yang Yan was instantly enraged.

Yang Yan appeared at a distance from the demon god, with no time to think and he swung Star Night fiercely, transforming into a silver light that flew forth.

The sword tip pointed straight at the demon god's twin eyes above his navel!

Simultaneously, Yang Yan followed closely, channeling all of his power to the extreme.

Nearly all his strength was concentrated in his right fist.

This battle would end with either his death or the demon's destruction!

No room for luck, he had to give it his all.

Roar!

The demon god saw more and more humans daring to try to stop him; his anger burst forth and he let out a roar, swinging his axe.

The huge stone axe clashed with Star Night in an instant.

Without any support from its master, Star Night, relying only on the initial force from Yang Yan, was knocked flying by the demon god.

Clang!

Star Night spun and fell down, the sword tip embedding into the ground.

Yang Yan was not far behind Star Night.

Seeing Star Night being knocked away, he couldn't afford to feel heartbroken.

Yang Yan flew over, taking advantage of the demon god sending Star Night flying, he punched the demon's belly.

Right between the demon's eyes.

Yang Yan's full-strength punch could shatter a mountain instantly!

However, against the relatively weak belly of the demon god, it merely caved in slightly.

Meanwhile, the demon god responded, his eyes blazing with endless fury.

"Lowly human, how dare you injure the great Celestial God!" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

The headless demon god staggered slightly, retreating a few steps.

Yang Yan's punch had barely caused any real damage!

"No wonder so many of the Ancient Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors died to seal you!"

Yang Yan's attack failed, stepping back tens of steps, gritting his teeth as he glared at the demon.

In an instant, he gauged the difference in strength between himself and the demon god.

The demon god's formidable defense was not something he could overcome alone.

Now Yang Yan focused solely on delaying time.

As long as the demon god didn't destroy the core of Buzhou Space, he was prepared to keep stalling.

When Ao Tian and his ten swordsmen arrived, along with many elite warriors from the Hidden Clan outside, he was convinced they could defeat a headless, freshly emerged, not fully recovered half-step demon god!

Yang Yan wasn't wrong; the demon god's power was diminished due to missing a head.

Together with being sealed for countless years, even having escaped, in these short months, although he recovered slightly, his strength was far less than in his prime.

If not, the Hidden World, including the Four Emperors, even paired with those two never-seen Empire Emperors, still might not stand a chance.

"Boom!"

The headless demon god, thoroughly enraged, released the grievance of being suppressed by humans for countless ages.

He suddenly stepped forward, appearing instantly in front of Yang Yan.

His huge stone axe raised high, Yang Yan could even see the remnants of dried blood on its blade.

Blood traces from thousands of people the demon god had slaughtered recently, still gleaming with a bloody aura!

Caught off guard, Yang Yan had no time to dodge.

Star Night was still embedded far away, clearly too late to summon.

To bear the demon god's axe with his body?

Yang Yan wouldn't even entertain that thought.

He could only unleash his speed to the limit at the critical moment.

At this moment, Yang Yan's blood was almost aflame, barely evading the axe's edge.

"Hah!"

Successfully dodging the demon god's axe, not yet steady on his feet, Yang Yan instinctively shouted.

Behind the headless demon god, a silver light flashed, streaking like lightning towards the demon's right shoulder.

"Clang!"

Star Night struck the demon's back, but it made the sound of metal striking metal.

It left only a bloodline on the demon, unable to penetrate any further!

Feeling the blood trickling from his back, the demon god's eyes above his navel flared with furious anger, burning intensely.

He glared at the retreating Yang Yan, roaring each word:

"You dare to hurt me!"

"I dare not only hurt you but kill you! You're a monster without a head, where does your confidence come from?"

Though Yang Yan retreated somewhat awkwardly, he exuded disdain as he mocked the demon.
