Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2794: Chapter 19: Glorious Battle Achievements! The Cangping God Emperor Takes Flight

...

The power of the Genesis Crystal’s explosion was simply too terrifying.

In almost an instant, the Destroyer Devil Spire, which had just now been awe‑inspiring and majestic like a Devil Capital in the heavens, was twisted into a rope of dough under the assault of that dreadful energy, and then could no longer hold together, torn into countless pieces in the raging energy.

The countless guards and maids living within the Demonic Que Tower turned to dust in the blink of an eye.

Even the Demonic Que Tower, with its astonishing defensive power, ended up like this—what chance did the base have?

For a time, heaven and earth, everything above and below, was collapsing, being obliterated, as if undergoing an exterminating apocalypse.

Under this cataclysm, it seemed as though nothing could survive.

However, though it ultimately could not withstand it, as the personal conveyance of the Great Commander, the Destroyer Devil Spire did possess defenses strong enough to withstand a Strike of Taoist Master, and in the end still blocked a portion of the Genesis Crystal’s explosive power for Great Commander Apocalypse.

Even if only for a brief instant.

In the next instant, the terrifying energy had already shredded the Destroyer Devil Spire and spread outward, reaching Great Commander Apocalypse, who was desperately fleeing.

Even though Great Commander Apocalypse had done everything in his power to resist, that peerlessly formidable Undying Devil Body of his only held out for two breaths before cracks spread across it like paper mache, and then it began to break apart bit by bit, collapsing and disintegrating...

The speed of that annihilation was only a tiny bit slower than that of the Destroyer Devil Spire.

But it was precisely this instant of delay that gave Great Commander Apocalypse his chance.

Almost at the very moment his devil body began to collapse, he decisively abandoned it. As his mighty Level Seventeen Undying Devil Body was ground into dust, his Demonic Soul left the flesh, wrapped around the Chaos Demon Seed and dove into a spatial rift, disappearing in the blink of an eye into the pitch‑black, fathomless crack in space.

This was also the limitation of the Genesis Crystal.

It was, after all, just a dead object; it wouldn’t specifically lock onto Great Commander Apocalypse. Once detonated, it would only destroy outward from the center like a normal explosive. A Level Seventeen powerhouse as strong as Great Commander Apocalypse, if he had been on guard beforehand, or if he had a Chaos Spirit Treasure specifically for protection, would have a chance to survive by blocking it for just an instant and then escaping with his life.

Even Daoist Master Tian Yuan back then, if he hadn’t deliberately taken the very front in order to win a sliver of life for the disciples of Tian Yuan Dao Sect behind him, wouldn’t have been left without even a chance to flee.

And for a Level Seventeen existence, even a fleeting instant of opportunity was already enough for him to run a very, very long way.

By the time he emerged from the spatial rift once more, Great Commander Apocalypse had already shuttled to an extremely distant place.

But at this moment, his physical body had been completely destroyed; only his Chaos‑grade demon seed remained, along with the Spirit Remnant attached to it.

Even now, when Great Commander Apocalypse’s Spirit Remnant recalled that scene from before, he was still seething with shock and rage, his entire Spirit Remnant trembling: "Cangping! East Xia Human Race! I, the Great Commander, am irreconcilable with you!"

His voice was furious and unresigned, with a deep undercurrent of lingering dread and terror.

He had never imagined that the Genesis Crystal he had gone to such lengths to obtain would end up being used against him. He simply could not figure out how his secret plan had been discovered by the Human race, nor how the Human race had silently infiltrated the heart of the Demonic Clan’s main base...

Too many questions piled up in his heart, throwing his mind into chaos, yet none of that affected his resolve in the slightest.

Since, in such a desperate crisis, he had still managed by a fluke to escape with his life, that meant his fate was not yet sealed.

Given time, he would definitely fight his way back, flatten the Eastern Dawn God Continent, and make Cangping God Emperor regret everything he had done today!

His voice turned into shockwaves that spread far into the distance, suddenly alarming some existence within the endless darkness of the Void Sea.

From far away, a low roar came from the Void Sea.

A powerful, violent aura surged up and began flying in the Great Commander’s direction.

Great Commander Apocalypse’s Spirit Remnant hurriedly shut his mouth and hid himself deep within the Chaos Demon Seed, withdrawing every trace of his arrogant aura, and used the ink‑thick darkness of the Void Sea to quietly shift about within it.

All his life he had rampaged arrogantly across the world; this was the first time he’d ever had to cower like this.

Now that his devil body had been destroyed and he was left with only a Spirit Remnant clinging to life, he was at his most fragile. Any random Demon Lord that showed up could very likely erase him completely; in such a situation, the lower‑key he stayed, the better.

Once he calmed down, Great Commander Apocalypse finally had the mind to observe his surroundings.

Moments ago, the situation had been critical; he had only been focused on escape, with no time at all to tell directions, nor did he know where he had ended up. Now as he carefully observed, he realized he was in the depths of the Void Sea. All around was endless darkness, and only by sensing the fluctuations and auras within the Void Sea itself, along with a faint glimmer of light in the distance, could he vaguely perceive that in some direction there seemed to be a Tianhe.

At once, his Spirit Remnant shuddered, and his originally foul mood improved quite a bit.

Sure enough, heaven never completely blocks a devil’s road.

He hurriedly, and with extreme caution, began slowly flying in that direction, moving in absolute silence, with his Energy fluctuations reduced to nearly nothing, not daring to alarm or provoke any beings in the Void Sea.

In his current state, never mind encountering some terrifying Level Seventeen existence—even if he merely attracted a Level Fifteen creature, it could swallow him like a snack in minutes.

He inched toward the light bit by bit.

For the sake of concealment, each shift he made covered almost no distance, to the point that his speed was unbelievably slow; just this short stretch of road, he had no idea how long it would take him to inch along.
