Chapter 2423  Divine Paragon Returns!

”Divine—?! That maniac has returned?!” the Supreme Adviser cried out, his voice trembling as though his greatest nightmare had come to life.

”No way!” Purple, who was watching from afar, nearly fell from the sky after learning of Yuanʼs true identity.

”What did he just say?” Even Supreme Ruler Grant halted his clash with Supreme Ruler Dena, his gaze snapping toward Yuan as his eyes widened in disbelief.

”Thatʼs the lunatic from the other world—the one who went on a killing spree the moment he arrived?!”

The demons observing from a distance erupted into chaos, their voices rising in a storm of shock and fear.

”What were the people from the other world called again? Hymen?”

”I swear they were called hyumen.”

”Theyʼre called humans, you idiots!”

”Blasphemer! Why the hell have you returned to our world?! Are you trying to collude with that fiend to take over our world?!” The Supreme Ancestor questioned Yuan.

”I heard you were quite close with her, after all!”

”Taking over your world? Isnʼt that what your current Supreme Ruler is plotting against my world?” Yuan sneered. ”T-Thatʼs—!”

The Supreme Ancestor opened his mouth to speak, only to fall silent a second later, realizing he had no excuse to offer.

”Not even going to try and defend yourselves, huh?” Yuan shook his head.

”We are only doing what must be done!” the Supreme Adviser suddenly shouted. ”Otherwise, our world will fall into chaos!”

”So, to resolve your crisis, you intend to plunge another world into chaos… for the second time?” Yuanʼs voice rang out, carrying for miles.

”In that case…” his gaze turned cold as he continued, ”I now have every reason to resume my former goal—the complete eradication of demons!”

Yuanʼs already ridiculous Demon Sealing Aura surged even more violently.

He pointed at the Supreme Ancestor and commanded, ”Bring me his core, then annihilate every single demon in this world!” At his command, the warriors surged forward in unison, each one moving with the precision and mastery of seasoned veterans, striking the Supreme Ancestor from all directions.

Even at this point, the Supreme Ancestor refused to use his powers as an Absolute God.

”Look at what youʼve done…” Supreme Ruler Dena suddenly remarked while shaking her head.

”What do you mean?” asked Supreme Ruler Grant.

”Do you have any idea how much effort I had put into changing his mind about annihilating our kind?” she sighed. ”And you just undid all of my effort with your foolish ambition.”

Supreme Ruler Grant sneered in disdain, ”Do you really believe that a single mere human can wipe out our entire race? As I expected, youʼve gone crazy after becoming a Forsaken.”

”What do you know? Itʼs not like youʼve ever fought him,” Supreme Ruler Dena said. ”If I hadnʼt stopped him that day, none of you would even be alive right now. And that was ages ago. Heʼs far stronger now than he was then. If you canʼt even defeat me, you can forget about defeating him.”

”In that case, there wonʼt be any problem!” Supreme Ruler Grant laughed as he dove back into battle, assailing her with his fake Eternal Essence.

Despite her overwhelming strength, Supreme Ruler Dena was nearly helpless against the Eternal Essence, even if it was an inferior version. Not only did Grantʼs control improve with every exchange, she also had to expend a tremendous amount of energy just to defend against it.

One might assume she could simply endure his blows and regenerate the damage, but Eternal Essence was fundamentally different. It was a power that could erase existence itself, damage that no regeneration can repair.

That being said, this didnʼt mean Supreme Ruler Dena couldnʼt regenerate an arm lost to Eternal Essence. But if the same spot took too much of that damage, the existence of that limb could be erased entirely and become impossible to recover.

Suddenly, as if struck by enlightenment, Supreme Ruler Dena began recalling the sensation of wielding Eternal Essence—or at least what she wielded while under the curseʼs control.

”Y-You! Why the hell do you have that power?!” Supreme Ruler Grant shouted, eyes and mouth agape. ”Donʼt tell me the Demon God bestowed it on you too! Did he give it to me because he knew you could wield it?!”

”Who knows?” Supreme Ruler Dena replied with a cold smile, refusing to elaborate just to mess with him.

However, although she could wield Eternal Essence again, it was nowhere near the level sheʼd commanded in the past. Even so, it was more than enough to level the battlefield, allowing her to fight Supreme Ruler Grant on equal footing, and like him, her mastery improved with every exchange.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Ancestor had all his limbs, and even half his body, turned into stone after enduring hundreds of thousands of strikes from Yuanʼs Demon Annihilation Legion.

”What do you think? Are you able to grasp the Demon Sealing Aura in your body? Think you can wield it?” Yuan asked the Supreme Ancestor.

”I—”

The Supreme Ancestor opened his mouth to respond, but Yuan immediately interrupted.

”You donʼt need to tell me because I already know the answer. You know, thereʼs a reason why you cannot wield Demon Sealing Aura.”

”The reason I cannot wield that power…?” The Supreme Ancestor fell silent, listening intently. He had always wondered why he couldnʼt wield Demon Sealing Aura despite his superior talent and bloodline compared to those who could.

Yuan pointed at him with the Demon Devouring Sword and spoke with a look of disdain, ”Among those few demons who could wield Demon Sealing Aura, all of them had incredibly pure hearts. In other words, your heart is too corrupted to use Demon Sealing Aura.”

”What kind of bullshit reasoning is that?!” the Supreme Ancestor roared, his aura suddenly skyrocketing toward the heavens.

”Enough of this farce! Iʼll kill you, even if my entire body falls apart!”

In the next instant, an unfathomable, profound energy erupted from him, filling the entire battlefield and collapsing on Yuan like an invisible mountain.
