"The sealing formation of the Asura Demon Tower was originally designed to suppress demonic nature with demonic nature."
"If a sufficiently powerful demonic nature emerged to assault the Asura Demon Tower, it would only be natural for the tower to crumble under the pressure."
"Just now, I suppressed Chu Feng's good nature and released his demonic nature," the woman inside the chamber said.
"My lady, are you saying that the demonic nature Chu Feng unleashed was stronger than the sealing formation of the Asura Demon Tower?" the frost-robed woman asked.
"That is correct," the woman inside the chamber confirmed.
"But… isn't Chu Feng of the human race? How could he possibly possess such terrifying demonic nature?"
The frost-robed woman was utterly shocked, for she knew just how powerful the Asura Demon Tower's sealing formation was.
For someone to shatter the Asura Demon Tower using nothing but demonic nature — what kind of horrifying demonic power would that require?
Even the mere thought of it sent shivers of dread through her.
"Indeed far beyond what ordinary people possess. The threshold I set was simply to suppress the Soul-Devouring Demon Lord. As long as he could suppress the Soul-Devouring Demon Lord, he would pass the trial."
"I would then entrust that item to him."
"Yet I never expected that his demonic nature would be this powerful…"
Even from her tone alone, one could sense that the woman inside the chamber was extremely pleased with Chu Feng's performance.
"Truly astonishing," the frost-robed woman agreed with a sigh.
But soon, she turned her gaze back to the mirror in her hands, her eyes filled with unease.
It turned out the Asura Demon Tower was already teetering on the verge of collapse.
At the same time, immense Asura power and the energy of the formation were surging outward from the Asura Demon Tower, battering the surrounding world.
Dandan, bound before the tower, could no longer endure it and had already fallen unconscious.
"My lady, are you truly not going to intervene?" the frost-robed woman asked with worry.
Her concern was not for Dandan, but for the consequences that would follow the tower's destruction.
After all, those eighteen demons each carried a fearsome reputation, and among them were several that even she would have no chance of defeating.
If they were freed from the Asura Demon Tower's suppression, the consequences would be unthinkable.
"With me here, what is there to fear?" the woman inside the chamber said.
Hearing this, the frost-robed woman froze, then flushed with shame.
Of course — with this lady present, why would she need to worry?
No matter how powerful those beings inside the Asura Demon Tower might be, they could never compare to the woman before her.
BOOM—
Suddenly, a deafening roar shook the entire world.
Even from a considerable distance away from the Asura Demon Tower, the cliff trembled violently.
The Asura Demon Tower had completely shattered.
In that instant, pillars of black flames surged skyward.
In the blink of an eye, they filled the entire region.
And at the same time, eighteen colossal figures materialized one after another.
They came in all manner of shapes — some humanoid, some bestial — but without exception, they were all drenched in overwhelming demonic nature, their eyes burning crimson, their bodies impossibly massive.
Most terrifying of all, their bodies were still continuing to grow.
Because the forms they currently held were not their true bodies.
Imprisoned within the Asura Demon Tower for far too long, their power and their true forms both needed time to recover.
ROAR—
Ferocious roars rang out one after another, and even the mere sound of them was enough to freeze one's blood with terror.
These eighteen demons each looked like avatars of destruction, radiating an air of absolute dominance, as though no one in all the heavens and earth could stand against them.
Having broken free, they not only let out piercing screams to vent their fury—
They also released a torrent of killing intent that, in the span of a single breath, permeated the entire pocket world.
The sheer force of it made the very fabric of the space world buckle under the strain.
Even those outside the space world could feel that horrifying killing intent.
"This feeling?"
At that moment, Shuangxue, who was guarding outside the formation that Lord Nianqing had entered, suddenly changed color.
She was in a different space world entirely, yet she still sensed that terrifying killing intent.
She searched frantically for its origin, only to discover that it did not seem to come from within this world, but from beyond it.
"What on earth is happening out there?"
But once she confirmed that the killing intent was coming from outside, she grew even more worried.
She was worried about the people out there, for there were quite a few young prodigies from the Seven Realms Sacred Temple present at this moment.
That killing intent was so terrifying that even the formation's power shielding the space world could not fully block it…
She genuinely feared for her sister and the young talents of the Seven Realms Sacred Temple — whether they could still be unharmed.
But compared to her, Shuangyu and the others from the Seven Realms Sacred Temple, who were already being suppressed by the strange phenomenon, felt an even more savage wave of killing intent.
"Heavens, what is going on?"
"Have we… provoked the wrath of some god?"
In that moment, everyone was gripped by despair, and many of the young prodigies broke down in wailing sobs.
Because compared to the force of the phenomenon that had already pinned them down, the killing intent now pouring from within it made them feel as though they had been cast into the deepest pits of hell.
They had no idea what those things were, but from that killing intent alone, they could sense what manner of terrifying existence they were facing — one that could extinguish their lives as easily as snuffing out a candle.
If those beings appeared before them, annihilation would be all that awaited.
