Senju Yukika had arrived at the mountain with Tanaka Kuma not long ago.
However, he deliberately left Tanaka Kuma behind a massive boulder in the distance, instructing him to stay silent.
Yukika himself watched everything coldly, concealing his entire presence. Unless he chose to reveal himself, no one in the area could sense his arrival.
As he watched the Lord of Stone Town defy even his own prince in order to protect Senju Yukika and the other strong cultivators, Yukika nodded to himself in approval...
He knew the Lord of Stone Town was doing this to show goodwill toward him.
But even so, being able to stand up like this was already quite impressive!
Originally, Senju Yukika had intended to intervene immediately and end the conflict, but now, he was in no hurry.
He observed with interest, seeing that the Lord of the Fortress had already defeated the commander of the Imperial Guard.
In the distance, multicolored lights continued to shine, the aura of the Divine Eye clearly present there. In Yukika's eyes, no one could take it from him.
So at this moment, he was completely calm.
On the mountain peak, the Crimson Blood Demon King took one step after another toward the Lord of Stone Town.
This was a particularly difficult battle for the Lord of the Fortress, especially after his intense duel with the commander of the Imperial Guard that left him wounded.
Seeing this, the Lords of Overlord City and Rising Sun City stood up together.
The Lord of Rising Sun City said coldly, "My lord, he just finished a fierce battle and is injured. Aren't you taking advantage of him like this?"
But the Crimson Blood Demon King ignored his words. He was called a Demon King precisely because he didn't care about morality or justice.
He didn't care whether his opponent was injured or dying. If he wanted to kill, he killed. He never worried about anyone's opinion or judgment.
This kind of demon had long since abandoned morality and was not bound by any laws or ethics. That's why he was despised by the world.
The Crimson Blood Demon King grinned cruelly. "That's right! Taking advantage of others is exactly what I love to do!"
Hearing such shameless words, the others had nothing to say.
The Jade Emperor Prince and the other royal experts simply stood silently, watching the Lord of Stone Town with mocking amusement, eager to see how he would deal with the powerful Crimson Demon King.
The Lord of Stone Town waved his hand, signaling the other two lords to step back.
Then he walked forward a few steps, with chakra slowly rising from his body...
At this moment, the aura of his superior-grade level surged once more!
It was clear that the Lord of Stone Town had used a secret technique to suppress the injuries within his body, temporarily restoring his strength to its peak.
"Crimson Demon Clan, come at me!"
Facing the powerful Crimson Demon King, the Lord of Stone Town showed no fear.
"Good, good, good!" the Crimson Demon King said three times in succession, stepping forward!
Boom!
At that moment, the Lord of Stone Town felt a hallucination—he saw a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood surging toward him!
Amid the thick stench of blood, countless white bones slowly rose up...
He was shocked. These bones were the resentful souls slain by the Crimson Demon King.
These unjust spirits were manipulated through sinister means, creating tremendous pressure during combat.
Usually, those who stood against the Crimson Demon King would be overwhelmed by the blood-soaked aura before even engaging in battle, rendering their strength useless.
But the Lord of Stone Town had long known the Crimson Demon King's reputation and had come prepared.
He sealed off all his senses using chakra, refusing to look at the illusions of corpses and blood. His eyes locked only on the Crimson Demon King!
In that moment, the Lord of Stone Town seemed to ascend spiritually, transforming into a razor-sharp blade that descended from the sky, striking the Crimson Demon King!
The Crimson Blood Demon King roared, "Heaven and Earth Blood Refinement Technique!"
At the same time, hundreds of blood-red beams burst from his body. Each one pierced the clouds, turning the mountain peak into a vision of hell!
Blood spilled in all directions, transforming into rivers of red in midair, instantly latching onto the Lord of Stone Town and binding him tightly.
Seeing this, the Jade Emperor Prince smirked coldly, a wave of joy rising in his heart.
"So you dared to disrespect me? Now let's see how you escape this demon's grip."
Despite the Lord of Stone Town being trapped, the Jade Prince and his royal entourage made no move to intervene. They only watched coldly from the side.
The Lord of Stone Town was aware of how dire his situation was, but his determination only grew stronger!
Then, in a sudden breakthrough, he slashed upward toward the sky!
This strike was terrifying, infused with an unshakable will. Within the storm of radiant snow-like light, cracks began to appear...
Crack!
One by one, the blood beams began to collapse, more and more splitting in midair!
The Crimson Demon King had never expected such an outcome. His eyes widened in disbelief.
Everyone watching now understood—the Lord of Stone Town had broken through his own limits and unleashed strength far beyond his usual level!
In other words, his raw power was now on par with the Crimson Demon King.
"You little brat, you've managed to force me this far. I want to see how long you can keep it up!" the Crimson Demon King sneered.
He suddenly struck his forehead, opened his mouth wide, and spat out a blood-red orb.
The orb rose slowly into the air, releasing overwhelming waves of blood light that engulfed the entire mountain, trapping the Lord of Stone Town once more!
But the Lord of Stone Town tightly shut his eyes, as if he could not see any of it.
He slowly swung his blade—again and again—blindly slashing at the space around him!
At this moment, his mind was utterly clear. It was as if he wasn't even fighting the Crimson Demon King, but instead refining his own martial arts.
Each swing grew stronger. The aura surrounding him intensified with every movement, stunning all who watched!
The Crimson Demon King suddenly shrieked, "No! He's going to break through—I must stop him!"
As his voice fell, the Crimson Demon King launched a desperate assault!
