Xiao Mo looked smug, acting like a pompous little man.
At this moment, Jin Xuan finally sensed something was amiss.
"Your Majesty the Holy Lord, I've been acting too strangely. I must have my own affairs to attend to, which is why I'm like this."
Indeed, upon hearing Xiao Mo's words, the demon, already furious, lost its mind completely.
"I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"
It then unleashed its full demonic energy and struck at Xiao Mo with all its might.
Seeing this, a smile touched Xiao Mo's lips.
This time, his smile was genuinely triumphant.
The male divine lord demon vaguely sensed something was wrong but was instantly consumed by its own violent aura.
Then, to its astonishment, Xiao Mo, who had been right in front of it, suddenly disappeared.
Behind it stood that strange barrier.
Seeing this, the male divine lord demon's face contorted in terror, as if it had seen something deeply frightening.
"No—"
But it was too late. Its world-destroying attack slammed directly into the barrier.
In an instant, the strange barrier shattered into countless fragments as easily as tofu.
These fragments then transformed into masses of demonic energy, vanishing into the void, completely gone.
This scene left everyone dumbfounded.
"Ah?"
"That easy? The barrier broke that easily?"
"How could this happen? Didn't Xian Er and Jin Liu Er, both divine beings, strike it with all their might but couldn't even scratch the barrier?"
"Even the great Xiao Mo could only use it as a passage, but now this divine lord level demon unleashed just one attack, and the screen shattered like that."
"It's truly unbelievable!"
"But there's still something very puzzling: how did the great Xiao Mo know that doing this would shatter the barrier?"
"Right! I said earlier that our handsome and suave, dashing male god Xiao Mo wouldn't have that smug expression for no reason. So that's why."
"Regardless of the reason, the great Xiao Mo is the smartest one!"
"It seems my male god Xiao Mo is not only strong and handsome but also incredibly intelligent."
"Heavens, I can't understand it. Which door did God close for him? This is just making people miserable!"
"Everyone, let's stop thinking about these heartbreaking things. The more we compare, the sadder we get!"
As for why Xiao Mo knew that action would break the barrier, he couldn't give a precise reason.
Mainly, he had a vague feeling that the blood-red eye deliberately wanted him to enter alone so it could devour him.
Then, during his fight with the demon, one of its attacks was supposed to hit the barrier.
But the demon forcefully reined in its attack, and Xiao Mo noticed this flaw.
He then relentlessly provoked the male divine lord demon, driving it into further frenzy and making it lose all reason.
In fact, when the male divine lord demon stopped gnawing on Arno Nayi's corpse, its sanity had somewhat returned.
But under Xiao Mo's constant provocation, it plunged into an even deeper rage.
Thus, it failed to retract its final attack.
Ultimately, this led to an irreversible situation.
As the barrier shattered, the blood-red eye trembled.
A malevolent emotion flickered in its gaze as it glared fiercely at Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo let out a cold snort, showing no fear, and glared back defiantly.
"Eyeball, what are you staring at? I'll pluck out your eyeballs sooner or later!"
The blood-red eye understood that Xiao Mo was cursing it, and the emotion in its gaze intensified.
Then, the male divine lord demon, which had somewhat calmed down, suddenly went berserk, losing all reason.
However, instead of attacking Xiao Mo immediately, it turned to search for the corpse on the ground.
But someone was always faster. The male divine lord demon felt a divine power engulf its body.
Its movements instantly stiffened, slowing its reaction.
Just then, a flash of white light appeared before its eyes, and Arno Nayi's demon corpse vanished.
Xian Er, enshrouded in holy light, parted her red lips.
"How could I give you a second chance? You dared to harm my lord, so I will ensure you never return, and die here."
After Xian Er snatched Arno Nayi's demon corpse, the male divine lord demon glared at her and said coldly:
"Goddess, I truly don't understand why you would serve a lesser divine being than yourself. It's simply a disgrace to a divine lord-level deity."
"I am now at the peak of the divine lord level, even slightly higher than that goddess with divine power. I advise you not to be ungrateful and return the demon corpse immediately."
Before Xian Er could reply, Xiao Mo let out a cold scoff:
"Truly shameless and cold-blooded. You've tried to sow discord between me and my subordinates twice, which is truly disgusting and卑贱."
"Furthermore, the demon corpse you speak of, which has been living here underground for hundreds of thousands of years, you just devoured it? Don't you feel even a shred of remorse?"
The male divine lord demon replied with utter justification, "Why should I regret it? I kept her to use as my reserve."
"Even if the blood-red eye hadn't controlled me, in the future, I would have completely devoured her."
As it spoke these words, it showed no fear of its actions being discovered by the Ten Divine Lord Overlords and the Dark Emperor.
For now, its strength had reached the peak divine lord level. Even the Ten Divine Lord Overlords and the Dark Emperor should bow before him.
Seeing this, Xiao Mo had no desire to speak further and issued an order.
"Kill him!"
He felt that any more words directed at the demon would be an insult to himself.
Xian Er and Jin Liu Er immediately charged forward from either side, engaging the divine lord-level demon in battle.
In an instant, the vast circular hall was filled with three terrifying auras.
These three divine lord-level presences pressed down overwhelmingly. Had it not been for Xian Er's barrier protecting the territory lords,
These territory lords, who had only recently entered the divine level, might have been crushed by these auras.
But even so, they were in extreme discomfort.
