TBOUMTBDK Chapter 9

Chapter 9: Collapse “That’s my heart demon.”

When Yun Xia woke up, he opened his eyes to see a huge crack ripped open in the invisible space high above, as deep and dark as the universe.

The entire space of the small world was experiencing a massive earthquake, constantly shaking and on the verge of collapse.

Someone had already broken in. An extremely strong sense of oppression came from mid-air, incomparable to the power the heart demon had used to suppress him before.

The small world was completely devoid of its previous peaceful scenery. The bamboo forest and building complexes were all in ruins, not a single complete wall could be found.

Because the battlefield was in the distant sky, Yun Xia was dazzled and couldn’t understand at all. He only felt it was mysterious and profound. Even at such a distance, he was almost suffocated by the immense power.

How he yearned for that level of truly being able to split mountains and break seas.

Where’s Your Venerable?

Yun Xia was shocked for a long while before remembering the real business. As he expected, someone had seized the opportunity to break in. As the saying goes, “strike while the iron is hot,” and they were targeting the Demon Lord.

He put his hand on his forehead, squinting to look, but the distance was too far to see clearly. Suddenly, he slapped his forehead.

He wasn’t an ordinary person anymore, he had to know how to adapt.

So he concentrated his Demonic Energy on his eyes, fussed with it for a while, and sure enough, he could see clearly!

The situation was even worse than he thought.

The three people who came in all looked like great beings, and adding the heart demon, it was four against the Demon Lord!

Although the Demon Lord still looked calm on the surface, he was clearly at the end of his rope, desperately holding on.

Yun Xia gritted his teeth: “Sure enough, the heart demon is working with them to deal with the Demon Lord. Right, if the Demon Lord dies, he can completely replace him and escape this place directly?

“Those Demon Realm traitors must have tampered with the Nether Soul, knowing when the Prohibition Art on the Nether Soul would be released. Then they calculated the time when Your Venerable and the heart demon had worn each other down, but hadn’t completely eliminated the other, to come in.”

The Demon Lord’s face was as white as paper, his eyes were crazed, the corners of his lips were stained with blood, his hair was disheveled, and his clothes had several long tears.

Even when forced into this situation, he was still like a mountain, graceful and extraordinary, the ruthlessness inside him exposed without a doubt. Some people were even momentarily stunned by his gaze, and then met with a frenzied counterattack.

The Demon Lord completely disregarded the attacks coming from behind him, only focusing on one person to strike first with all his might, until that person was narrowly saved by his companion.

It was this kind of life-risking posture that allowed him to hold on until now.

The other three were only now able to glimpse the Demon Lord’s true strength.

His strength was suppressed, and more than half of his Cultivation Base was taken away by the heart demon, yet he could still fight one against four?

Too terrifying, they absolutely couldn’t let him leave the small world!

The leader of the great beings made up his mind.

At this moment, his gaze inadvertently shifted and saw Yun Xia on the ground.

There’s still someone else?

It’s him. He’s not dead!

They thought he would be the first to die after the Demon Lord’s heart demon appeared.

That great being no longer concealed himself and said loudly: “Idiots! What are you standing there for? Hurry up and attack!”

Yun Xia, who was watching the show: “???”

He looked around and only saw the Wolf Demon running from the ruins, stopping beside him, baring its teeth and trembling at mid-air.

Yun Xia shouted into the air: “Who are you calling an idiot?”

“Bastard! Of course it’s you.”

Yun Xia said seriously: “Uh, both idiot and bastard, it seems your character is really bad. You should pay attention in the future.”

That great being didn’t expect him to say that, it took him a few breaths to suddenly understand what he meant, and he was furious: “You’re courting death!”

His distraction allowed the Demon Lord to seize the opportunity and beat him back repeatedly. Fortunately, he stabilized himself slightly with the help of his companion, but his companion was also seriously injured as a result and could no longer provide strong combat power.

He looked down at Yun Xia again, he wasn’t mistaken, it was this person, a spy from the Immortal Realm. Could it be that he was a hidden Elder-level figure from an immortal sect, and didn’t like him scolding him?

No wonder he was able to survive until now.

That great being was also anxious. If they continued to stalemate with the Demon Lord like this, it would only be disadvantageous to them. So he said patiently: “I was rude. This friend, there’s no need to wait any longer. Now is the best time to kill the Demon Lord. Make your move!”

Yun Xia, with his hands in his sleeves, thought: This misunderstanding is huge. He’s just an ordinary person who can’t even Flight.

So he said sternly: “How can you slander people’s innocence out of thin air! Who’s friends with you.”

That person was surprised and suspicious. The situation was wrong, he was clearly on their side, how could he suddenly change his mind?

“Did the Demon Lord offer you benefits? Too stupid… you’re too careless, he’s not that kind of person. He will definitely kill you after you get out. Friend, I advise you to think carefully about whether this is the case. If you don’t want to regret it later, then make your move. I can promise that I will definitely give you benefits after we get out!”

Yun Xia touched his chin and thought for a while, saying before the Demon Realm great being became impatient: “What benefits? How do I know you’re not the same as the Demon Lord, using rhetoric to deceive me.”

The great being said anxiously: “How can I be such a shameless person, like this, whatever you say, I will definitely do it for you if I can, may I be struck by lightning if I break my promise, how about it?”

The pressure on his side suddenly increased. It turned out that the Demon Lord had suddenly had another burst, as if the Demon God had descended, his aura was extremely terrifying.

Like a final struggle.

He must hold on!

“Quick!”

Then he heard Yun Xia say: “Okay!”

The great being was overjoyed, but before he could be happy for even two breaths, he heard him finish his sentence: “This friend, my Cultivation Base is suppressed, why don’t you transmit some to me, and I’ll give that demon the final blow for you.”

The great being choked, almost spitting blood.

At this point, no matter how slow or unreasonable he was, he knew that Yun Xia was playing him, and he was so angry that his eyes were about to split. He turned his head and struck down with a heavy blow.

At the same time, the Demon Lord’s attack also arrived. He was half a breath slower and was hit hard, spitting out a mouthful of blood in the air, which was then dried up.

Thanks to this mouthful of blood, he was able to see the surrounding situation clearly.

All three of them were injured, one seriously injured and two lightly injured. The heart demon, who seemed to be helping them deal with the Demon Lord, had been slacking off all along!

More importantly, they didn’t have much time left. They had forced their way in by tearing apart space, and this space would soon close. At that time, they would be locked in a cage. Even if they finally exhausted the Demon Lord to death, they would not be able to leave.

They could only leave.

He gave his two companions a solemn look, one staying behind to hold off the Demon Lord, and the other two disappeared in place, flashing rapidly towards the space crack.

On the ground, when that attack fell, Yun Xia’s alarm bells rang. The days of fighting with the Wolf Demon had formed a conditioned reflex in him, and he immediately released all the Demonic Energy he could mobilize without reservation.

But it was clearly not enough in the face of that attack!

Just before the attack hit him, a black shadow flashed in front of him.

“Boom—”

The Wolf Demon blocked most of the remaining Demonic Energy for him.

Yun Xia: “!! Big dog!”

Only a little bit was left that landed on him, and he was violently overturned and smashed to the ground, almost becoming an idiot.

As the small world collapsed, the ground was completely unstandable. Yun Xia stumbled and crawled in the earthquake, finally managing to walk to the large cloud of dust that was splashed up when the Wolf Demon fell.

After seeing clearly, Yun Xia’s eyes widened.

The originally huge Wolf Demon had actually shrunk, truly becoming just a “dog,” a gray “wolf dog.”

Another violent earthquake shook Yun Xia to the ground. He rolled and crawled over to hug the Wolf Demon.

“Hey, hey, are you okay! Give me a reaction!”

The Wolf Demon didn’t react at all, but it was still breathing. Yun Xia closed his eyes, hugged it tightly, and looked into the air.

This look was terrible, the situation suddenly reversed—the heart demon was strangling the neck of a Demon Realm great being with one hand and kicking the third one away.

The two great beings whose necks were being strangled attacked desperately, but the heart demon didn’t care, even with his body covered in wounds, he didn’t let go.

“Hahahaha—” He laughed arrogantly, covered in blood, looking like a madman, “Who do you think you are, daring to use this Venerable?”

He was the heart demon, the Demon Lord’s heart demon, not a demon that could be easily used or easily killed.

At this moment, the small world was no different from the end of the world. Due to the excessive Demonic Energy released in a short period of time, several cracks had opened beside the initial space crack, and the sky was crumbling.

The eyes of the two great beings were about to split, but they could not break free and escape no matter what. At the last moment before leaving, they were caught by the heart demon, and then they watched helplessly as they moved away from the exit.

“Let’s be buried here together!”

The unrestrained laughter resounded throughout the heavens and earth, carrying the two people towards the distant ground. An extremely black and dark light spread from where they fell, expanding rapidly. It was an ominous light of destruction.

Heaven and earth stood still.

Afterwards, the space shattered, the ground collapsed, and Yun Xia fell into the abyss beneath his feet.

The heart demon’s insane appearance was deeply engraved in his eyes, and he was shocked for a long time.

The heart demon self-destructed, burying three Demon Realm great beings, and also burying this small world.

…

When falling into the darkness, Yun Xia couldn’t even care about fear.

His eyes were still on the scene of the heart demon dragging three people to self-destruct, countless pieces of information flashing through his brain.

Wasn’t he going to kill the Demon Lord, why did he suddenly turn his spearhead?

Was it agreed upon with Your Venerable in advance?

He was actually willing to sacrifice himself?

This point strongly impacted Yun Xia’s heart.

At this moment, the Demon Lord appeared in front of him, put his arm around his waist, and flew with him towards the last sky full of cracks.

“Your Venerable, he really…”

The Demon Lord didn’t lower his head: “He wasn’t doing it for anyone, just for his pride.”

Yun Xia: “Pride?”

The Demon Lord paused: “That’s my heart demon.”

Yun Xia looked at his face in sudden understanding. Yes, the Demon Lord’s heart demon had the Demon Lord’s dark side, and also his arrogance from him, his unruliness that belonged to him.

Like the Demon Lord, he was the most elusive and unimaginable.

“From the beginning of his birth, he and I both understood that he was destined not to leave here.”

They had the same memories, so without discussion, they naturally made such a choice.

Yun Xia was silent, his eyes flickering, and before losing consciousness, he took one last look at the shattered space beneath his feet.

He was finally leaving here.
