The Fire Spirit Star Lord took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. “Li Huo Demon Lord, you… weren’t you sealed in the Flame Prison of the Ninth Heaven long ago? How could you appear here?”
Li Huo Demon Lord laughed heartily. “Sealed? Did those old fellows really think they could seal me? How naive!”
He paused, a flash of cold severity in his eyes. “Not only have I broken free, but my strength is even greater than before! Today, I’ve come here to settle scores with you!”
“Settle scores?”
The Fire Spirit Star Lord furrowed his brows. “I have no past grudges or recent enmities with you. What scores do you want to settle with me?”
“No grudges or enmities?” Li Huo Demon Lord sneered. “If it weren’t for you joining those old fellows to ambush me back then, how could I have been sealed in the Flame Prison for so many years? This account, we must settle properly today!”
After hearing this, everyone understood in their hearts.
It turned out that these two were both ancient powerhouses from the Ninth Heaven, and they had unknown grievances!
The Fire Spirit Star Lord’s expression changed. “The events of that year were clearly provoked by you first! To cultivate your evil arts, you slaughtered countless living beings. We were merely acting on behalf of heaven!”
“Acting on behalf of heaven?”
Li Huo Demon Lord laughed wildly. “How ridiculous! Survival of the fittest, the strong prey on the weak, that’s the natural law of heaven and earth! Those weaklings died, so what? What does it have to do with me?”
A trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes. “Today, not only do I want revenge on you, but I also want the entire Sixth Heaven to pay the price for the suffering I endured back then!”
After speaking, Li Huo Demon Lord’s gaze fell on the jade bottle in the Fire Spirit Star Lord’s hand.
“Fire Spirit Star Lord, give me the jade bottle in your hand!”
Li Huo Demon Lord said coldly.
The Fire Spirit Star Lord subconsciously tightened his grip on the jade bottle. “What do you want to do?”
“What do I want to do?”
Li Huo Demon Lord smiled evilly. “Of course, to release the Soul Devouring Venerable! He is the son of an old friend of mine from many years ago. How could I stand by and watch him be sealed by you?”
“You…”
The Fire Spirit Star Lord’s expression changed. “You want to let the Soul Devouring Venerable continue to wreak havoc on the world?”
“Wreak havoc on the world?”
Li Huo Demon Lord said disdainfully. “This world is inherently survival of the fittest, with the strong as kings! If the Soul Devouring Venerable has the strength to rule this world, that’s his ability! You so-called righteous people are just jealous of his power!”
He paused, a flash of cold severity in his eyes. “Fire Spirit Star Lord, I’ll ask you one last time. Will you hand over the jade bottle or not?”
The Fire Spirit Star Lord gripped the jade bottle tightly, his face filled with determination. “I absolutely will not hand it over to you! The Soul Devouring Venerable has slaughtered living beings and committed heinous crimes. I absolutely will not let you release him!”
“Good! What a righteous Fire Spirit Star Lord!”
Li Huo Demon Lord laughed wildly. “Since you refuse the toast only to drink a forfeit, don’t blame me for being impolite!”
After speaking, the dark red flames around Li Huo Demon Lord’s body surged instantly, and the aura he emitted became even more terrifying.
Boom!!!
With a loud bang, a terrifying momentum erupted from Li Huo Demon Lord’s body, causing the entire valley to tremble violently.
The surrounding air seemed to ignite, and the temperature soared to a terrifying level in an instant.
Chen Ping and the others felt a suffocating sensation. They could sense that Li Huo Demon Lord’s strength was absolutely not inferior to that of the Fire Spirit Star Lord!
“Fire Spirit Star Lord, today let’s properly settle the accounts from back then!”
Li Huo Demon Lord roared, his figure flashing as he charged towards the Fire Spirit Star Lord in an instant.
Boom!!!
Li Huo Demon Lord’s speed was astonishingly fast, reaching the Fire Spirit Star Lord almost instantly.
He formed his right hand into a claw, carrying terrifying dark red flames, and grabbed towards the Fire Spirit Star Lord’s chest.
The claw wind whistled, tearing through the air wherever it passed, emitting bursts of piercing sounds.
