Wang Qiang Demon Master's voice was already hoarse, yet his threats did not stop.
"Gui Yi! Stop immediately! My race's Universe Lord is already on the way—if you dare continue, your death is certain!"
His divine body was riddled with cracks, god power surging out like leaking magma. Yet even now, he clung to intimidation, as though sheer status could reverse the outcome of a battle already decided.
The reply he received was not words, but violence.
Gui Yi Venerable's sword light intensified instead of weakening. Each strike became sharper, colder, and more decisive, as if Wang Qiang's threats had only hastened his end. To threaten an enemy while being completely suppressed—this was no longer arrogance, but desperation bordering on madness.
----
True fear finally surfaced.
Realizing that Gui Yi Venerable had no intention of stopping, Wang Qiang Demon Master abandoned all pride. His consciousness surged outward, frantically transmitting distress signals—first to Lord Meng Wan, who was stationed within the Nebula World, and then to his teacher, far away in the Monster Race's core territory.
Almost at the same moment the plea was sent, Lord Meng Wan moved.
He had been restrained for a long time under the oppressive coverage of the Chaos Domain, but upon sensing Wang Qiang's imminent demise, he could no longer sit still. God power erupted violently as he activated his palace treasure, attempting to forcibly break free and rush to the battlefield.
It was useless.
The gray currents of the Chaos Domain tightened like invisible shackles. Every fluctuation of Lord Meng Wan's god power was reflected clearly within Bai Yue's perception.
"How could Bai Yue allow this?"
Lord Meng Wan struggled fiercely, yet remained fixed in place, unable to advance even half a step.
"Hunyuan!" his furious voice transmitted across space. "Order Gui Yi to stop at once! You are provoking a full-scale war between our races!"
Bai Yue stood calmly upon the Feiyuan Divine Boat, his expression relaxed.
"How is this a race war?" he replied lightly. "Didn't we already agree? Universe Lords do not interfere—those below them live or die by their own strength."
"You—!"
The transmission cut off in suffocating silence.
----
Far away, within the Monster Race's core secret realm, an ancient and oppressive aura filled a grand hall.
Extinction Forbidden Ruler sat high upon his throne.
Below him, Wang Qiang Demon Master's projection knelt, battered and trembling, desperation written plainly across his face.
"Teacher… Lord Meng Wan has been held back by the Human Race's Lord of Hunyuan. Please save me, Teacher!"
The triangular pupils of Extinction Forbidden Ruler narrowed, killing intent surging like a rising tide.
"Hmph. You still have the face to beg?"
Anger flared within him, yet he forced it down. The situation was already critical.
"You're saying that Gui Yi ignored your threats entirely?" he asked coldly.
"Yes! Teacher, that Gui Yi Venerable didn't put you in his eyes at all!" Wang Qiang added hastily, deliberately stoking the flames.
Extinction Forbidden Ruler let out a slow breath, suppressing his rage.
"Wait. My clone is already on the way."
Although a Universe's Strongest could resurrect a fallen top-tier Universe Overlord, the price was enormous. Moreover, Wang Qiang carried several valuable treasures—losing him outright would be a true loss.
Whether it violated some agreement was irrelevant.
In the Primordial Universe, strength defined law. Suppress all opposition, and your will became the rule.
----
With God Kingdom teleportation and rapid successive spatial shifts, Extinction Forbidden Ruler arrived outside the Nebula World in an extremely short time.
Because the battlefield was sealed, he could only appear at the outer perimeter.
The moment his figure stabilized, his gaze locked onto the scene ahead.
Gui Yi Venerable's sword light cut across the void like a merciless storm. Wang Qiang Demon Master, already badly damaged, was being forced steadily toward annihilation.
"No wonder he was so desperate," Extinction Forbidden Ruler murmured inwardly. "This Gui Yi… has already stepped into the ranks of top-tier Universe Overlords."
His eyes sharpened further as he assessed Gui Yi's treasures.
"Excellent equipment. Wang Qiang's defeat is not unjust."
Only then did he speak aloud.
"Gui Yi Venerable. How about sparing my disciple?"
----
Gui Yi Venerable turned his head slightly, instantly recognizing the newcomer. His pupils contracted—but his movements did not slow in the slightest.
Extinction Forbidden Ruler.
One of the Monster Race's most terrifying Universe Lords. His fame resounded throughout the Primordial Universe, rivaling that of the Primordial Chaos City Lord before his breakthrough.
Yet Gui Yi Venerable showed no panic.
Bai Yue's calm voice echoed in his consciousness, steady and reassuring.
Without stopping his assault, Gui Yi responded coldly,
"Extinction Forbidden Ruler, as a dignified fifth-tier Universe Lord, are you truly planning to violate the agreement and interfere in a battle between Universe Exalts?"
Before the words had fully faded—
A sword light descended.
Space itself was severed, and Wang Qiang Demon Master screamed as the strike cleaved directly into his divine body. His already overburdened treasure armor cracked audibly, its defensive capability collapsing further.
"Teacher—save me!" Wang Qiang cried in despair.
----
Extinction Forbidden Ruler's expression darkened completely.
He had expected Gui Yi to retreat the moment he appeared. That would have preserved face on both sides.
Instead, he had been ignored.
"Gui Yi! How dare you!"
Rage erupted.
An endless sea of sand spread outward from Extinction Forbidden Ruler, attempting to crush Gui Yi's black strong wind Domain and forcibly extract Wang Qiang from the battlefield.
Before the domains could fully collide—
Gray currents surged down like a descending sky.
The Chaos Domain isolated the entire region, suppressing Extinction Forbidden Ruler's sand sea back toward its source.
Laughter echoed through the void.
"Extinction Forbidden Ruler, it wouldn't be proper for you to meddle in their fight," Bai Yue's voice rang out. "How about I keep you company instead?"
His figure appeared calmly, stepping into the battlefield as though strolling.
----
Recognition flashed through Extinction Forbidden Ruler's eyes.
"Lord of Hunyuan."
So this was not coincidence.
Communications flared within the Monster Race network.
"Meng Wan—are you certain Hunyuan is still with you?"
"He hasn't moved," came the reply.
"…Then why is there another one here?"
Cold realization struck.
"How many clones does he have?" Extinction Forbidden Ruler's heart sank.
Four? More?
The implications were terrifying.
Yet retreat was no longer an option.
----
Wang Qiang Demon Master's wails rang out once more.
Extinction Forbidden Ruler's killing intent crystallized.
A blood-red spear appeared in his grasp, its presence alone tearing fissures through space. God power erupted as he lunged toward Bai Yue with overwhelming force.
"Come," Bai Yue said simply.
The Hun Yuan Staff met the spear.
The first collision sent Extinction Forbidden Ruler flying backward.
The second shattered his confidence.
The third attack—his strongest fusion secret technique—was broken apart as if it were nothing more than fragile glass.
Blood-red light dispersed.
Space stabilized.
Extinction Forbidden Ruler stood trembling, shock rippling through his divine body.
Sixth-tier peak power.
Not rumor. Not speculation.
Reality.
----
A distant explosion thundered.
Wang Qiang Demon Master, seeing no hope, ignited his remaining god power to avoid enslavement, vanishing in a final blaze.
Bai Yue did not pursue Extinction Forbidden Ruler as he retreated.
Killing him would require crossing a line neither of them was willing to step over.
For now, this was enough.
----
Gui Yi Venerable soon appeared beside Bai Yue, having collected the spoils of battle.
"Junior Brother, are you alright?"
"I'm fine," Bai Yue replied with a smile. "Congratulations, Senior Brother. This battle will shake the entire Nebula World."
The void fell silent once more.
But the ripples this battle created would spread far beyond it.
