Upon hearing the Dragon King say that the little white dragon seemed to no longer be in this realm.
Then he remembered what Lu Qing had said before he left: that one day he would return to the Tianyuan Great World.
The powerful beings realized that the demon might have truly escaped from the Tianyuan Great World.
They could no longer possibly track him down.
In an instant, the expressions of all the powerful figures turned extremely ugly.
No one expected that the eight powerful beings at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage would come together and end up with such a result.
"Wu He, what should we do next?"
After a long silence, the Elephant King finally spoke and asked a question.
"What else can we do? Let's go back and prepare as soon as possible. Didn't that demon say he'll come back?"
Given the talent and potential he has shown, he will undoubtedly be even stronger when he returns.
The next time we meet, it will likely be either him dead or us dead.
Vice Hall Master Wu said irritably, his mood extremely bad.
In his mind, the reason this operation turned out this way was entirely due to the misdeeds of these demon kings.
If they had joined forces to suppress and subdue the demon as soon as they met, as they had agreed from the beginning, and had not given him the chance to use his magic weapon, none of what happened later would have occurred.
Now, what a great opportunity has been wasted by these foolish demon kings. They have truly lost both their wife and their army.
Fortunately, it was the White Ape King that was killed this time. If it had been a powerful figure from their human race, he would have gone mad.
The demon kings could naturally hear the displeasure in Vice Hall Master Wu's tone, but they had no time to care at the moment, because what he said made their hearts tremble.
That's right. That demon has only just passed through the Heavenly Tribulation and is only at the initial stage of the Nascent Soul realm, yet it is already able to defeat the White Ape King.
While the White Ape King's carelessness played a part, it also clearly demonstrates that the demon's strength had become a real threat to them.
If a mere nascent soul possesses such strength, then the potential of that demon is simply unimaginable.
Given enough time, no one knows how far he can grow.
This enemy, with immense potential and an unknown growth ceiling, lurks in the shadows, ready to return at any moment to seek revenge.
Just thinking about it made the demon kings feel a sense of terror and tremble in their hearts.
Seeing the fear on the faces of the demon kings, Vice Hall Master Wu felt a surge of pleasure for some reason.
However, he did not show it, but said seriously: "So the only solution now is for both sides to cooperate."
That evil spirit may return for revenge at any time, but this is also our opportunity.
If he dares to show up, we'll have another chance to ambush and kill him.
But we need to plan this out carefully.
We cannot continue like this, each acting independently, like a heap of loose sand, giving that evil spirit a chance to escape.
Upon hearing this, several demon kings felt a flush rise to their faces.
They also knew that they bore most of the responsibility for the failure of this operation.
After a moment's thought, the Elephant King spoke up: "Wu He, then according to your opinion, how should we cooperate?"
"This matter is of utmost importance. We need to discuss it carefully. Although that demon escaped this time, he has revealed a lot of his abilities. As long as we are well prepared, he will definitely not return next time!"
...
Just as the group of powerful beings at the Primordial Spirit level were discussing how to deal with Lu Qing in the future...
On the other side, in the trial realm left behind by that supreme being of the Witch Clan.
Several strange beasts exuding the aura of the Foundation Establishment Realm were foraging for food.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, they all lay down, trembling as they looked up at the sky.
Just then, a spatial vortex suddenly appeared above the several strange beasts, and a stream of light flew out from it, landing on the ground and revealing Lu Qing's figure.
At this moment, Lu Qing had stopped using the True Witch Body technique, and his body had returned to its normal size.
As soon as he landed, he ignored the Foundation Establishment Realm beasts not far away and immediately summoned the Fire Cauldron.
Just now, when he had just vanished into the void, "Yan" had already sent him a telepathic message.
"Master, that White Ape King is too powerful! We're about to lose control of him!"
At the same time, Lu Qing also sensed that powerful energy was constantly erupting from the Li Huo Cauldron, as if it wanted to break free from it.
Without saying a word, he directly caused the Fire Cauldron to grow to the size of a mountain and sit on the ground. Then, he transformed into a stream of light and entered the Fire Cauldron.
Just as Lu Qingfei entered the Fire Cauldron, a consciousness in a mysterious space within the secret realm also noticed the commotion.
"Hmm? It's the fluctuation of the teleportation stone tablet left by that master. Has that little guy returned?"
The mysterious being immediately understood that Lu Qing had returned to the secret realm via the teleportation stone tablet.
"How long has it been? He's already used up his life-saving opportunity. Has this little guy encountered some crisis he can't handle?"
The mysterious entity projected its consciousness over, and just as it was about to see what was going on, it saw Lu Qing transform into a stream of light and fly into the Li Huo Cauldron.
"This little guy doesn't seem injured... wait, his aura..."
Lu Qing was unaware that the mysterious being in the secret realm had already noticed this place.
As soon as he entered the Fire Cauldron, he saw a huge white ape roaring to the sky inside the spiritual artifact space.
He waved his hands, causing the magical artifact space to tremble incessantly.
A massive fire dragon coiled above him, doing its utmost to stabilize the entire magical artifact space.
As for Xiao Li and Wu Xing, they had already hidden in a corner. The scene before them was something they couldn't interfere with at all.
"You little reptile, you mere artifact spirit can't hold me back. Watch how I shatter your artifact space!"
With a roar, the White Ape King slammed its palms together, causing the entire spiritual artifact space to tremble once more. "Flame's" body also twisted, seemingly on the verge of collapsing.
"Damn it, as expected of a fifth-tribulation powerhouse who has begun to comprehend the laws of space. If my master hadn't destroyed it once, and its strength had been greatly reduced due to the damage to its origin, I probably would have been shattered by it and escaped through the spiritual artifact's space with just this one blow."
Sensing the power of the White Ape King's attack, "Yan"'s eyes revealed horror.
Even with its strength greatly reduced, the White Ape King still managed to injure itself quite severely every time it stirred up space.
If it weren't the spirit of the Li Huo Cauldron, this spiritual space would be completely under its control.
It's likely that the White Ape King seized control of this space long ago and suppressed it.
Despite being seriously injured, "Yan" persisted, striving to maintain the stability of the spirit artifact space and prevent the White Ape King from escaping.
Because it knew that Lu Qing had already used his trump card and escaped right under the noses of the seven Nascent Soul Realm experts.
Once he frees up his hands, that will be the day of the White Ape King's death!
"Little reptile, what are you still holding on to? Do you still want to wait for your master to come and support you? Haha, it's no use. Even if he uses despicable means to temporarily trap me here, he can't possibly stop the Elephant King and the others."
"If you know what's good for you, release me. After your master is captured, perhaps I can plead with the Elephant King and the others to spare your insignificant spirit."
As Yan persisted, the White Ape King laughed heartily, his aura extremely arrogant.
As it struggled even more fiercely, it kept shouting loudly, trying to shake Yan's mind with words.
However, Yan remained unmoved, and with its last bit of strength, it desperately tried to trap the White Ape King.
However, with each of the White Ape King's shockwaves, "Flame" was nearing its limit.
Just as it sensed it was about to give up, the suppressive force within the magical artifact space suddenly increased more than tenfold, abruptly freezing the White Ape King's body in place.
Then a voice rang out: "As expected of a Fifth Tribulation Demon King, even after my physical body was destroyed once, he still has such power."
"Owner!"
Upon seeing Lu Qing appear in the spirit artifact space, "Yan" was overjoyed.
After letting out a sigh of relief, the Chilong Dharma Form finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed, transforming back into human form and appearing beside Lu Qing, its aura becoming much weaker.
"Aqing!"
The little creatures in the corner of the space also ran over in surprise.
Since Lu Qing put the ape demon king into the Li Huo Cauldron, they have been unable to see the outside world and are unaware of what happened afterward.
Seeing Lu Qing safe and sound, I can finally relax.
Only the White Ape King showed disbelief in his eyes when he saw Lu Qing.
Because he discovered that Lu Qing had entered in his true form, not as a divine soul avatar.
"Demon, how did you get in? Where are the Elephant King and the others?"
Shocked, the White Ape King couldn't help but roar.
"Of course I've already shaken you off, White Monkey. Don't expect anyone to come to your rescue. Your death is just around the corner," Lu Qing said calmly.
"Impossible! Under the seal of the Ten Directions Pillars, you cannot possibly escape the Elephant King and his men!"
The White Ape King, his face full of disbelief, roared loudly.
"Nothing is impossible. You, a dignified Fifth Tribulation Nascent Soul, were still smashed to pieces by my single blow. Prepare to die!"
Lu Qing didn't waste any more words with him. A golden staff appeared in his hand, transforming into the body of a true sorcerer, and he directly attacked the White Ape King.
Seeing Lu Qing charging towards him with murderous intent, the White Ape King no longer had time to ponder why Lu Qing was able to enter this spiritual artifact space in his true form.
He could only raise his palms, and his claws suddenly grew longer as he slashed at the golden staff.
His white staff-like magical weapon had already been lost when his body was blasted apart.
Furthermore, since Lu Qing was controlling the space within the magical artifact, he was completely unable to teleport.
He could only use his demon king body to withstand Lu Qing's golden staff.
boom!
The Five Tribulations Demon King's body is indeed formidable, comparable to a spiritual weapon.
The White Ape King's claws barely managed to block Lu Qing's strike in his normal state as a True Witch.
However, as Lu Qing fused his magical power into his physical body and unleashed another strike with his staff.
The White Ape King's claws could no longer withstand the blow and were blasted apart by a single strike.
Then Lu Qing unleashed a series of staff strikes, repeatedly blasting the White Ape King's body apart once more.
Damn it!
After his physical body was destroyed, the White Ape King reconstructed his body in less than two breaths.
However, his expression was extremely unpleasant.
Within this magical artifact space, he was completely unable to control the power of space.
Even under the suppression of the spiritual artifact space, he could hardly use his movement techniques in actual combat and could only stand still and take Lu Qing's attacks head-on.
However, he had no weapon in his hand at this moment, and with his bare body alone, he could not withstand Lu Qing's staff strikes.
At this moment, a trace of panic finally arose in the heart of the White Ape King.
If this demon wasn't lying, he truly had rid himself of the elephant king and his companions.
Does that mean that he is doomed to die in his current situation?
boom!
Just as the White Ape King was panicking, Lu Qing showed no sign of stopping.
With a series of strikes from his golden staff, he once again shattered the White Ape King's physical body.
Seeing the White Ape King reconstruct his physical body once again, Lu Qing chuckled: "Let's see how many more times your essence can reconstruct its physical body!"
Then, with another blow, he shattered the White Ape King's body.
However, Lu Qing couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
The Five Tribulations Primordial Spirit is indeed troublesome, especially after it has comprehended a trace of the laws of space.
The primordial spirit is incredibly resilient, possessing not only an indestructible quality but also the ability to merge with the physical body, so that every inch of the body contains its own divine will.
That's why the White Ape King was able to regenerate his body even after being defeated so many times.
If it weren't for his scheme, he would have swallowed me into the Fire Cauldron and suppressed me with his spiritual artifact space.
If it were outside, the White Ape King could even use spatial teleportation to escape, making him even more difficult to kill.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable that among the demon race, those who have reached the fifth tribulation and comprehended the power of space can become kings.
Because those who reach this level are extremely difficult to kill.
Even if you are surrounded and attacked by multiple powerful opponents of the same level, you can still escape if you can't win.
Unless arrangements are made in advance to seal off the space, there is almost no possibility of them killing each other if they are both at the Fifth Tribulation Realm.
Thinking of this, the coldness in Lu Qing's eyes intensified.
The White Ape King was caught off guard and swallowed into the Fire Cauldron, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Therefore, he was determined to annihilate them here, completely severing one of the demon race's arms.
With a loud bang, the White Ape King was smashed to pieces by Lu Qing for the fourth time.
He also sensed that the White Ape King's speed in reconstructing its physical body was noticeably slower this time.
This was not unexpected for Lu Qing.
The characteristic of being indestructible does not mean true immortality.
Every time the White Ape King is defeated by him, he has to consume his own essence to rebuild his physical body.
Once his life force is depleted to a certain extent, that will be his true death!
What followed was the process of the White Ape King continuously falling into hell.
Lu Qing repeatedly shattered his physical body, and with each regeneration, his original aura weakened further.
Finally, after Lu Qing shattered the White Ape King's physical body for the tenth time, this Fifth Tribulation Demon King finally despaired.
He waited for so long, but the elephant king and his men never came to his rescue.
He immediately realized that what the demon said was probably true.
He had truly escaped the suppression of the Elephant King and his men before coming in to deal with his own situation.
Although he didn't understand how Lu Qing had done it, the White Ape King knew that dwelling on it was pointless.
Because if his physical body is destroyed one or two more times, he won't even be able to rebuild it.
Having realized this, the White Ape King's gaze suddenly became resolute.
"Demon, you have won this time, but don't be so smug. One day, the Elephant King and his men will settle this score for me."
As he finished speaking, a destructive aura suddenly emanated from the White Ape King.
"Soul self-destruction?"
Lu Qing sensed this aura and immediately understood what was going on.
However, having learned his lesson from Elder Xing's incident, he had long been on guard against this tactic.
He directly controlled the Fire Cauldron and threw the White Ape King out just as he was about to self-destruct.
Boom!
A resounding tremor echoed throughout the entire secret realm, reverberating within the trial realm.
Upon hearing the Dragon King say that the little white dragon seemed to no longer be in this realm.
Then he remembered what Lu Qing had said before he left: that one day he would return to the Tianyuan Great World.
The powerful beings realized that the demon might have truly escaped from the Tianyuan Great World.

Upon hearing this, several demon kings felt a flush rise to their faces.
They also knew that they bore most of the responsibility for the failure of this operation.
After a moment's thought, the Elephant King spoke up: "Wu He, then according to your opinion, how should we cooperate?"
"This matter is of utmost importance. We need to discuss it carefully. Although that demon escaped this time, he has revealed a lot of his abilities. As long as we are well prepared, he will definitely not return next time!"
...
Just as the group of powerful beings at the Primordial Spirit level were discussing how to deal with Lu Qing in the future...
On the other side, in the trial realm left behind by that supreme being of the Witch Clan.
Several strange beasts exuding the aura of the Foundation Establishment Realm were foraging for food.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, they all lay down, trembling as they looked up at the sky.
Just then, a spatial vortex suddenly appeared above the several strange beasts, and a stream of light flew out from it, landing on the ground and revealing Lu Qing's figure.
At this moment, Lu Qing had stopped using the True Witch Body technique, and his body had returned to its normal size.
As soon as he landed, he ignored the Foundation Establishment Realm beasts not far away and immediately summoned the Fire Cauldron.
Just now, when he had just vanished into the void, "Yan" had already sent him a telepathic message.
"Master, that White Ape King is too powerful! We're about to lose control of him!"
At the same time, Lu Qing also sensed that powerful energy was constantly erupting from the Li Huo Cauldron, as if it wanted to break free from it.
Without saying a word, he directly caused the Fire Cauldron to grow to the size of a mountain and sit on the ground. Then, he transformed into a stream of light and entered the Fire Cauldron.
Just as Lu Qingfei entered the Fire Cauldron, a consciousness in a mysterious space within the secret realm also noticed the commotion.
"Hmm? It's the fluctuation of the teleportation stone tablet left by that master. Has that little guy returned?"
The mysterious being immediately understood that Lu Qing had returned to the secret realm via the teleportation stone tablet.
"How long has it been? He's already used up his life-saving opportunity. Has this little guy encountered some crisis he can't handle?"
The mysterious entity projected its consciousness over, and just as it was about to see what was going on, it saw Lu Qing transform into a stream of light and fly into the Li Huo Cauldron.
"This little guy doesn't seem injured... wait, his aura..."
Lu Qing was unaware that the mysterious being in the secret realm had already noticed this place.
As soon as he entered the Fire Cauldron, he saw a huge white ape roaring to the sky inside the spiritual artifact space.
He waved his hands, causing the magical artifact space to tremble incessantly.
A massive fire dragon coiled above him, doing its utmost to stabilize the entire magical artifact space.
As for Xiao Li and Wu Xing, they had already hidden in a corner. The scene before them was something they couldn't interfere with at all.
"You little reptile, you mere artifact spirit can't hold me back. Watch how I shatter your artifact space!"
With a roar, the White Ape King slammed its palms together, causing the entire spiritual artifact space to tremble once more. "Flame's" body also twisted, seemingly on the verge of collapsing.
"Damn it, as expected of a fifth-tribulation powerhouse who has begun to comprehend the laws of space. If my master hadn't destroyed it once, and its strength had been greatly reduced due to the damage to its origin, I probably would have been shattered by it and escaped through the spiritual artifact's space ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) with just this one blow."
Sensing the power of the White Ape King's attack, "Yan"'s eyes revealed horror.
Even with its strength greatly reduced, the White Ape King still managed to injure itself quite severely every time it stirred up space.
If it weren't the spirit of the Li Huo Cauldron, this spiritual space would be completely under its control.
It's likely that the White Ape King seized control of this space long ago and suppressed it.
Despite being seriously injured, "Yan" persisted, striving to maintain the stability of the spirit artifact space and prevent the White Ape King from escaping.
Because it knew that Lu Qing had already used his trump card and escaped right under the noses of the seven Nascent Soul Realm experts.
Once he frees up his hands, that will be the day of the White Ape King's death!
"Little reptile, what are you still holding on to? Do you still want to wait for your master to come and support you? Haha, it's no use. Even if he uses despicable means to temporarily trap me here, he can't possibly stop the Elephant King and the others."
"If you know what's good for you, release me. After your master is captured, perhaps I can plead with the Elephant King and the others to spare your insignificant spirit."
As Yan persisted, the White Ape King laughed heartily, his aura extremely arrogant.
As it struggled even more fiercely, it kept shouting loudly, trying to shake Yan's mind with words.
However, Yan remained unmoved, and with its last bit of strength, it desperately tried to trap the White Ape King.
However, with each of the White Ape King's shockwaves, "Flame" was nearing its limit.
Just as it sensed it was about to give up, the suppressive force within the magical artifact space suddenly increased more than tenfold, abruptly freezing the White Ape King's body in place.
Then a voice rang out: "As expected of a Fifth Tribulation Demon King, even after my physical body was destroyed once, he still has such power."
"Owner!"
Upon seeing Lu Qing appear in the spirit artifact space, "Yan" was overjoyed.
After letting out a sigh of relief, the Chilong Dharma Form finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed, transforming back into human form and appearing beside Lu Qing, its aura becoming much weaker.
"Aqing!"
The little creatures in the corner of the space also ran over in surprise.
Since Lu Qing put the ape demon king into the Li Huo Cauldron, they have been unable to see the outside world and are unaware of what happened afterward.
Seeing Lu Qing safe and sound, I can finally relax.
Only the White Ape King showed disbelief in his eyes when he saw Lu Qing.
Because he discovered that Lu Qing had entered in his true form, not as a divine soul avatar.
"Demon, how did you get in? Where are the Elephant King and the others?"
Shocked, the White Ape King couldn't help but roar.
"Of course I've already shaken you off, White Monkey. Don't expect anyone to come to your rescue. Your death is just around the corner," Lu Qing said calmly.
"Impossible! Under the seal of the Ten Directions Pillars, you cannot possibly escape the Elephant King and his men!"
The White Ape King, his face full of disbelief, roared loudly.
"Nothing is impossible. You, a dignified Fifth Tribulation Nascent Soul, were still smashed to pieces by my single blow. Prepare to die!"
Lu Qing didn't waste any more words with him. A golden staff appeared in his hand, transforming into the body of a true sorcerer, and he directly attacked the White Ape King.
Seeing Lu Qing charging towards him with murderous intent, the White Ape King no longer had time to ponder why Lu Qing was able to enter this spiritual artifact space in his true form.
He could only raise his palms, and his claws suddenly grew longer as he slashed at the golden staff.
His white staff-like magical weapon had already been lost when his body was blasted apart.
Furthermore, since Lu Qing was controlling the space within the magical artifact, he was completely unable to teleport.
He could only use his demon king body to withstand Lu Qing's golden staff.
boom!
The Five Tribulations Demon King's body is indeed formidable, comparable to a spiritual weapon.
The White Ape King's claws barely managed to block Lu Qing's strike in his normal state as a True Witch.
However, as Lu Qing fused his magical power into his physical body and unleashed another strike with his staff.
The White Ape King's claws could no longer withstand the blow and were blasted apart by a single strike.
Then Lu Qing unleashed a series of staff strikes, repeatedly blasting the White Ape King's body apart once more.
Damn it!
After his physical body was destroyed, the White Ape King reconstructed his body in less than two breaths.
However, his expression was extremely unpleasant.
Within this magical artifact space, he was completely unable to control the power of space.
Even under the suppression of the spiritual artifact space, he could hardly use his movement techniques in actual combat and could only stand still and take Lu Qing's attacks head-on.
However, he had no weapon in his hand at this moment, and with his bare body alone, he could not withstand Lu Qing's staff strikes.
At this moment, a trace of panic finally arose in the heart of the White Ape King.
If this demon wasn't lying, he truly had rid himself of the elephant king and his companions.
Does that mean that he is doomed to die in his current situation?
boom!
Just as the White Ape King was panicking, Lu Qing showed no sign of stopping.
With a series of strikes from his golden staff, he once again shattered the White Ape King's physical body.
Seeing the White Ape King reconstruct his physical body once again, Lu Qing chuckled: "Let's see how many more times your essence can reconstruct its physical body!"
Then, with another blow, he shattered the White Ape King's body.
However, Lu Qing couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
The Five Tribulations Primordial Spirit is indeed troublesome, especially after it has comprehended a trace of the laws of space.
The primordial spirit is incredibly resilient, possessing not only an indestructible quality but also the ability to merge with the physical body, so that every inch of the body contains its own divine will.
That's why the White Ape King was able to regenerate his body even after being defeated so many times.
If it weren't for his scheme, he would have swallowed me into the Fire Cauldron and suppressed me with his spiritual artifact space.
If it were outside, the White Ape King could even use spatial teleportation to escape, making him even more difficult to kill.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable that among the demon race, those who have reached the fifth tribulation and comprehended the power of space can become kings.
Because those who reach this level are extremely difficult to kill.
Even if you are surrounded and attacked by multiple powerful opponents of the same level, you can still escape if you can't win.
Unless arrangements are made in advance to seal off the space, there is almost no possibility of them killing each other if they are both at the Fifth Tribulation Realm.
Thinking of this, the coldness in Lu Qing's eyes intensified.
The White Ape King was caught off guard and swallowed into the Fire Cauldron, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Therefore, he was determined to annihilate them here, completely severing one of the demon race's arms.
With a loud bang, the White Ape King was smashed to pieces by Lu Qing for the fourth time.
He also sensed that the White Ape King's speed in reconstructing its physical body was noticeably slower this time.
This was not unexpected for Lu Qing.
The characteristic of being indestructible does not mean true immortality.
Every time the White Ape King is defeated by him, he has to consume his own essence to rebuild his physical body.
Once his life force is depleted to a certain extent, that will be his true death!
What followed was the process of the White Ape King continuously falling into hell.
Lu Qing repeatedly shattered his physical body, and with each regeneration, his original aura weakened further.
Finally, after Lu Qing shattered the White Ape King's physical body for the tenth time, this Fifth Tribulation Demon King finally despaired.
He waited for so long, but the elephant king and his men never came to his rescue.
He immediately realized that what the demon said was probably true.
He had truly escaped the suppression of the Elephant King and his men before coming in to deal with his own situation.
Although he didn't understand how Lu Qing had done it, the White Ape King knew that dwelling on it was pointless.
Because if his physical body is destroyed one or two more times, he won't even be able to rebuild it.
Having realized this, the White Ape King's gaze suddenly became resolute.
"Demon, you have won this time, but don't be so smug. One day, the Elephant King and his men will settle this score for me."
As he finished speaking, a destructive aura suddenly emanated from the White Ape King.
"Soul self-destruction?"
Lu Qing sensed this aura and immediately understood what was going on.
However, having learned his lesson from Elder Xing's incident, he had long been on guard against this tactic.
He directly controlled the Fire Cauldron and threw the White Ape King out just as he was about to self-destruct.
Boom!
A resounding tremor echoed throughout the entire secret realm, reverberating within the trial realm.
