But is that really the case?
Of course not.
Just as the Abyssal Sage King's foot had already stepped into the Spatial Passage, Qin Xiao's third soul ring flashed again.
Spatial Swap, activate!
In the blink of an eye, the Abyssal Sage King and the Wisdom Emperor switched places.
"What's going on?"
The Wisdom Emperor only felt a blur before his eyes, and to his surprise, one of his feet had stepped into the Spatial Passage?
It was quite preposterous.
"He actually possesses space attribute abilities!"
The Abyssal Sage King was also greatly shocked.
But he didn't have more time to think, as Qin Xiao's heavy punch was already hurtling towards his forehead.
All who witnessed this scene were taken aback, realizing that Qin Xiao's apparent targeting of the Wisdom Emperor was actually aimed at the Abyssal Sage King.
"Bang!"
The sudden turn of events left the Abyssal Sage King no time to dodge, and he had to take Qin Xiao's punch head-on.
And the result...
Needless to say, it was not good.
Dark thunder burst forth from his body, blowing half of his head off.
"You are truly unforgivable!"
The Abyssal Sage King, clutching the front end of his Heaven Saint Crack Abyss Halberd like a dagger, stabbed towards Qin Xiao's abdomen.
Ching, ching, ching, ching.
A series of sparks flew as Qin Xiao was protected by the Thunder Emperor's Armor, with the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss unable to penetrate his defenses.
However, at that moment, another of Qin Xiao's heavy punches landed on the Abyssal Sage King's chest.
Boom-crack!
This time the Abyssal Sage King was even more miserable, with half of his body being blown away.
At the same time, his hand could no longer grasp the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss Halberd, allowing it to fall from his grasp.
"If I had known it would turn out like this, I wouldn't have engaged in a mutual damage combat strategy."
"Now look, the other side doesn't have a scratch on him, and I'm all damn injures!"
The Abyssal Sage King had a mental collapse.
His greatest sentiment was in two words, regret!
One could even say his guts turned green with it.
Well.
That is if he had any intestines left in the remaining half of his body.
"Sage King!"
The Wisdom Emperor, witnessing this horrific scene, couldn't help but shout, "Don't worry, Sage King, I will return to the abyssal plane to pray for you, waiting for your triumphant return!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than he turned around without hesitation and dived into the Spatial Passage.
"Pray for your grandma's leg…"
"I'm already like this, can I still go back to the abyss!"
The Abyssal Sage King felt even more choked up after hearing that.
Before, he still had the strength to open the Spatial Passage, but now that half of his body had been blasted away, he was severely injured and had no strength left to escape.
Even how long he could live was uncertain.
No.
To be exact, his life lasted only until the next moment...
Dark thunder engulfed him,
Destroying his body, eroding his soul.
Amidst the shrill screams, the Abyssal Sage King perished.
...
"Rumble, rumble, rumble..."
Inside the abyssal plane, its seemingly eternal first layer began to collapse.
"The Sage King! The Sage King has fallen!"
"How can there be an enemy stronger than the Sage King in that world?"
"It's over, what are we supposed to do now!"
"..."
The collapse of the first layer of the abyssal plane foretold the fate of the Abyssal Sage King.
At this moment, all the creatures of the abyss were thrown into disarray.
The fall of the Spirit Emperor, the Fierce Emperor, and the Sickle Emperor, they could accept.
After all, with the Abyssal Sage King present, everything was still intact.
As long as the Abyssal Sage King remained, the abyss would not perish.
One might say the Abyssal Sage King was the pillar of their world.
But now, they suddenly realized that the pillar of faith they believed in their hearts had collapsed.
And with the collapse of faith came fear of the future, unsettling them all.
There are few creatures in any realm who understand better than those of the abyssal plane what the consequences of losing a war can bring...
...
"The Abyssal Sage King has fallen!"
"All hail the Thunder Emperor!"
"..."
In Spirit City, countless people witnessed this scene and cheered from the bottom of their hearts.
Everyone knew that the Abyssal Sage King was the strongest in the abyss and the leader of its plane.
The death of this mightiest being presaged their impending victory!
And above the sky, that figure enveloped by dark thunder, was forever etched into everyone's hearts.
At this moment, they had a clear perception of the divine.
Only the man before them was the true deity!
He alone was worthy of their worship and service.
"Eh? This power of faith is much stronger than when I had only the Sea God's godhood?"
Qin Xiao, silently refining the Abyssal Sage King's essence in the sky, noticed the anomaly.
But this was good news for him.
After all, absorbing the power of faith was also a way to enhance one's Cultivation Level.
Some rejoice, others worry.
Of course, it was the Abyssal Creatures who were now filled with anxiety.
Following the fall of the Abyssal Sage King, their first reaction was no longer to fight but to flee.
To flee Spirit City, or even to return to the abyssal plane.
But as the losers, could they really escape without paying any price?
The phrase 'defeat is like a crumbling mountain' comes to mind. Even though the warriors in Spirit City were far outnumbered by the Abyssal Army, they could still slaughter the Abyssal Army.
"We can't keep fighting!"
"I need to retreat too!"
The Demon Emperor, seeing this, clearly recognized his position.
Fighting to the end was definitely not the way out.
But how could Bi Bidong possibly give him the chance?
Swish, swish, swish!
The Rakshasa God Scythe, with its aura of destruction, slashed out in succession, blocking all routes the Demon Emperor had to escape.
