[Ultimate Defense]

Black scales grew all over Demonraise his body, followed by a transparent shell that floated before him; the shell oddly looked like it was made from an armadillo and a turtle.

Clink!

Wang Ju appeared behind him, but the shell moved instantaneously and blocked the attack. However, Demonraise did not have time to breathe as she immediately blinked before him.

His shell did not have the time to react to block the blow for him. Luckily, his scales were not for decorations; the daggers barely left any marks, making Wang Ju momentarily frown.

This short distraction gave Demonraise an opportunity as he tried to detach her head from her shoulder with his beast claws. However, it was futile as she was faster than him.

She disappeared before teleporting above his head—her dagger containing the power of fate.

[Fate Cutting]

The dagger's fundamental nature or fate changed, as it became the sharpest tool between Heaven and Earth in such a short moment. Furthermore, its destiny became to cut off the obstacle in its path.

Swish!

Alas, fate was not absolute at this moment; to be precise, it was conquered by none other than Demonraise. Before the dagger accomplished its objective, the scale armor on his body and the shell disappeared for a brief moment.

He focused all of them on the dagger's target; his actions only bought him less than a second of time. However, it was more than enough for him. Demonraise took this opportunity to shrink his arm into his body, allowing Wang Ju's attacks to fail.

'What is going on?' thought Demonraise. Although he had entered an ultimate state of defense, but that was not all he was trying to do. His mind was constantly analyzing Wang Ju's teleportation method and using countermeasures.

He sealed the entire Fire Dimension space to prevent any spatial fluctuation or teleportation. But this method seemed useless to her.

[Breath of Samsara]

Demonraise's body began to release a unique aura that affected the surrounding area. As long as he was given enough time, the aura would allow him to turn the Fire Dimension into his own version of Samsara, thus granting him absolute control over this place.

'This should allow him to block the space and detect how she did it.'

Alas, these thoughts were Demonraise's last.

When Wang Ju appeared, he felt the breath of Yin-Yang from her. And in an instant, he saw trillions of lights flash in his eyes.

'So fast.'

Demonraise's body and soul turned into trillions of small pieces scattered into the empty void.

'Dead? No, it should not be this easy,' thought Wang Ju. And as expected, the phantom of strange cat creatures appeared not far from her, followed by Demonraise's intact body.

'The Nine Lives Demon Cat?'

Wang Ju knew this was a demon race, created after the Immortal Cat Innate Demon, who had nine lives after cultivating to the Quasi-Emperor Realm. However, they have long been extinct in the Myriad Emperor World as people hunted them to make life-saving pills. 𝔫𝔬𝒱𝓔𝐿𝚞𝚜𝒷.𝗰𝗈𝑀

Even their Royal Lineage in the Northern Continent was not spared.

'Don't I just need to kill him eight more times?' thought Wang Ju as she activated her Yin-Yang Powers to control the concept of slow and fast, pushing her speed beyond the boundary.

Demonraise tried to resist, but in a few minutes, he died four times, leaving him with only four lives.

'My Samsara Domain has detected the aura of a strange lifeform from her body,' thought Demonraise. 'So, wherever she teleports, there must be life. I only need to search for that lifeform.'

[Eye of Samsara]

His eyes transformed as he gazed at the disappearing Wang Ju. And he followed her traces for the first time since she used this technique. Demonraise saw a weird space with myriad lines of multiple colors interacting and moving together. Meanwhile, Wang Ju floated in this strange state, her body exuding a strange fluctuation.

'Are these lines living things?' asked Demonraise in wonder. In his long life, he has seen countless races–many of which can be described as weird and incomprehensible.

However, he could not understand what he was experiencing.

And this is not for him to blame as probably few people in the cultivators would recognize these things at first sight.

Wang Ju's technique is based on Wang Wei's many random ideas or nonsense from Earth. He once watched a show that talked about two-dimensional lifeforms and the fact that they have their own civilizations.

By placing a Quantum Bubble around them, these humans in the show managed to access a two-dimensional world that had a civilization despite being three-dimensional beings. Alas, their technology only allowed them to visit that place but not communicate.

So, Wang Wei suggested that Wang Ju search if such a place exists and use it as a hidden way to teleport. When she discovered that dimension, Wang Wei was surprised as he doubted such a place existed, given how the laws of the Chaos World should be vastly different from the Prehistoric World and Earth, which is governed by science and the laws of physiques.

However, after seeing it, that dimension came as further proof that Grand Dao might be using things from the Prehistoric to change or affect the entire Chaos Universe.

After detecting his opponent, Demonraise immediately acted as he moved to annihilate the entire dimension. However, to his horror, he discovered a weird power protecting this place.

And no matter what he tried, he could not affect the space Wang Ju was in. Oddly though, he discovered he could affect these strange lifeforms in the shape of lines.

'Could it be because they are living things, they also fall under the control of Samsara? But why is that dimension protection? And why do I have a feeling I will have bad luck if I kill these things?'

Demonraise shook his head since this was not the time to be thinking about these things. Now that he could detect Wang Ju's movement, her threat drastically decreased.

Clink!

He effortlessly blocked her attack as he could see the process of traveling from that weird dimension to the Fire Dimension.

'He is more capable than I thought,' analyzed Wang Ju, who believed he could have killed him until he only had one life left before being discovered.

[World of Darkness]

A terrifying darkness emanated from Wang Ju's body, turning this Fire Dimension into a Darkness Dimension.

Then, the sound of metal clashing echoed in the void as Demonraise survived another assassination attempt. He took a short time to adapt to the darkness for a few reasons.

His animal prowess granted enhanced perception, fighting off the effect of this great darkness on his eyes, soul, or Divine Sense. Lastly, darkness is also a small part of Samsara Dao. After all, when most people die, they first see a world of darkness.

And darkness is usually a symbol of death.

After blocking the strike, Demonraise controlled the pseudo-Samsara Domain he created using the Breath of Samsara to fight the Darkness.

'Huh?' was his last thought as his body split into trillion pieces, forcing him to use another life; no, that attack also contained the power of Samsara, so he lost two lives in one death.

'What just happened?' Demonraise was as confused as the previous technique. So, he immediately entered a state of high alert. However, he discovered something–Wang Ju spewed a large mouthful of blood.

'Has her body reached the limit? In that case, I need to be on the lookout,' thought Demonraise, who knew this was a symptom she had reached the limit of using Dao Ancestor Tier power.

Then, he saw Wang Ju take out a pill and was about to swallow it. He rushed to stop her. However, his body and soul once again split into countless pieces.

'I see. She used the power of time to kill my past self. The Darkness Domain was nothing but a way to cover the fluctuation of Time Dao,' thought Demonraise before his death.

Because of his cautions, his last remaining consciousness remained for a while after his death. And what he did with it was to explode his Samsara Domain to attack Wang Ju and prevent her from swallowing the Immortal Pill.

'I only have one life left,' thought Demonraise as his Nine Lives Technique activated for the last time. Once he dies, it will be for good.

He gazed at his opponent and saw she was in terrible shape.

'This is my chance,' thought Demonraise as he realized her backlash was more intense than he calculated. He swiftly raised his hand to summon a Sealing Emperor Artifact that looked like a small mountain.

Immediately, Wang Ju found herself completely suppressed and unable to move. Then, a terrifying aura emanated from Demonraise's body.

'He's using his Emperor Tier Attack,' thought Wang Ju as she saw a towering claw with the power of Death descending above her. In an instant, she saw her life passing through her eyes.

Death descending above her. In an instant, she saw her life passing through her eyes.

She reacted swiftly, trying to also use her one Emperor Attack. Sadly, the Emperor Artifact was more potent than she realized and rendered her helpless.
