After all, as a giant figure in the Demonic Way, the Purgatory Demon Monarch is an enemy to many across the world. Even if his circumstances are somewhat better than his adversary, they are not much better. Once he shows a point of weakness, enemies will attack him as well. That is why he is unwilling to fight directly with the Purgatory Demon Monarch unless he is entirely confident.

But now, this concerns the Great Refining Technique and his own hopes of becoming a Taoist Monarch. Especially given the attitude expressed by the Purgatory Demon Monarch at this moment, who is also after the Great Refining Technique, it means there is no room for retreat. He absolutely cannot avoid or shrink back anymore.

"Indeed, becoming a Taoist Monarch has never been smooth sailing. Without defeating countless opponents, one is not qualified to become a Taoist Monarch." The Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Monarch thought to himself.

Looking at the many Taoist Monarchs that have risen in this world, aside from when the Longevity Taoist Monarch achieved his title which no one knows, every other Taoist Monarch inevitably encountered obstacles when certifying their Tao.

Or perhaps these are not merely obstacles, but rather a transformational tribulation that a True Immortal must undergo to become a Taoist Monarch. It is just like the human tribulations Supreme Strong must overcome to become True Immortals. Only those who truly traverse these tribulations are qualified to certify their Tao.

Since there is no way to escape, one must bravely move forward, paving the way to higher steps with the bones of their opponents.

The Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Monarch strikes decisively without an ounce of hesitation.

Hu hu hu...

In a moment, a fierce wind rises, casting dark shadows that seem to obscure heaven and earth.

Ancient Divine Beast, Golden Winged Roc!

The Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Monarch is known for Beast Taming. The Lifeline Demonic Beast he originally commanded was a Golden-Feathered Roc residing in the Spirit Realm Ninth Layer Heaven, and contained the essence of an Ancient Divine Beast Golden Winged Roc.

As the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Monarch certifies as a Taoist Monarch, this Golden-Feathered Roc undergoes a transformation. Moreover, through consistently searching various worlds and nurturing powerful alien beast bloodlines, a fortuitous event allowed him to obtain the Divine Beast Egg of an ancient Golden Winged Roc.

He injected all the essence of his Golden-Feathered Roc into the egg, and finally hatched an Ancient Divine Beast Golden Winged Roc. Though this Golden Winged Roc was born with an incomplete origin and is not fully matured even after thousands of years, it is still terrifyingly powerful, capable of contending with True Immortal Sixth Layer Strong.

Some Taoist Monarchs speculate that if the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Monarch can continue to evolve the Golden Winged Roc to its full maturity, it might even contend with the mightiest Taoist Monarchs.

As a natural Divine Beast, and even the king among Divine Beasts, the Golden Winged Roc's terrifying innate oppression, which even ordinary True Immortals cannot withstand.

Moreover, the Golden Winged Roc is unrivaled in speed, arriving above the Purgatory Demon Monarch's head in an instant, seemingly teleporting through space, with its talons, fiercer than many Divine Weapon Immortal Tools, slashing directly towards the Hell Demon Sect.

"The Golden Winged Roc is indeed formidable, but to think it can challenge me is a joke!" the Purgatory Demon Monarch, upon seeing the appearance of the Golden Winged Roc, was not surprised at all. After all, how could he not know the trump card of his opponent when deciding to confront the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Monarch.

Boom!

Towering demonic energy gushes up, enveloping the Golden Winged Roc in endless roiling demonic mists.

"Purgatory Suppression!"

The Purgatory Demon Monarch calls out softly, forming a cage of demonic energy, imprisoning the entire Golden Winged Roc.

The Hell Demon Sect, Purgatory is not just an adjective, but a noun.

The sect-protecting divine power of the Hell Demon Sect is named Purgatory, and upon cultivating it to the Great Completion Realm, it can conjure a purgatory able to trap and bind others.

At this moment, the Purgatory Demon Monarch is displaying one of his abilities, seemingly creating a Purgatory space out of thin air, which confines and imprisons the Golden Winged Roc.

Particularly since the time Longevity Taoist Monarch established the Nether Yin Department, the Purgatory Demon Monarch spent a significant price to delve into Hell for over a thousand years of cultivation, innovating this divine power once again. Although this Purgatory Divine Power has not reached the Supreme Level, it is still one of the top divine powers in the world.

With a thunderous roar, towering black clouds carrying infinite Demonic Energy spread, enveloping the Golden Winged Roc as if waves of the vast ocean, seeking to obliterate it within.

"Heh, mere child's play!" Seeing his Golden Winged Roc trapped, the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Monarch showed no worry but instead chuckled, and the situation changed in the next instant.

A sharp cry of the roc rang through the sky; the Golden Winged Roc tore through the void, leaving only afterimages, as if transforming into a golden Sharp Arrow shooting forth, making the Purgatory that restrains most True Immortals seem non-existent to him.

"He actually crossed space," the Purgatory Demon Monarch's expression slightly changed.

If earlier it was just a suspicion, now the Purgatory Demon Monarch is certain that the speed of the Golden Winged Roc is not flying, but truly crossing space.

The differences between the two are fundamentally different; speed, no matter how fast, still has restraining methods, such as certain obstructions and bindings which can effectively intercept.

However, if it is crossing space, it is equivalent to the Golden Winged Roc mastering the Space Laws, meaning that the methods he prepared, the restraints of the Purgatory space, would become utterly meaningless.

"No, this isn't crossing space, it's the Extreme Speed Law!" the Purgatory Demon Monarch immediately realized, overturning his previous judgment.

Indeed, the exit of the Golden Winged Roc from Purgatory took him by surprise, making him think that his Purgatory had trapped the opponent, yet the opponent managed to escape, seemingly like spatial jumping.

But what he overlooked was that his Purgatory, for many True Immortal Strongs, is absolutely solid and indestructible.

However, for True Immortal Strongs of similar status, the restraints of Purgatory are not invincible, and there is also the possibility of breaking through them.

Especially as the Golden Winged Roc itself possesses unparalleled speed, and its sharp, massive claws, enhanced by speed, actually have the effortless capability to break the confinements of Purgatory. Moreover, due to his incessant Mana, in the moment the opponent escaped, he managed to mend the breach in Purgatory, thus creating the illusion that the Purgatory remained intact while the Golden Winged Roc crossed space.

However, all of this is irrelevant. Even if the Golden Winged Roc truly possessed the ability to cross space, as long as it has not stepped into the level of combat power of a Taoist Monarch, it is nothing but child's play for the Purgatory Demon Monarch to suppress.

Boom!

He beckoned with one hand, and the Flag of Ten Thousand Souls landed in his grasp. The flag, dark as ink and carrying an eerie aura, covered the sky and the earth.

The Purgatory Demon Monarch gently waved the Flag of Ten Thousand Souls in his hand, which summoned tens of thousands of Divine Souls to howl and transform into countless black Sword Qi shooting towards the Golden Winged Roc.

"No matter how exceptional your speed, as long as you do not hide in space, you simply cannot escape!" The Purgatory Demon Monarch's expression was cold and confident.

All worries stemmed from the inability to hit the target; with the fast speed of the Golden Winged Roc, even though some True Immortals possess powerful Divine Abilities that could threaten it, they are useless if they cannot hit the target, rendering all attacks meaningless.

But it was different for the Purgatory Demon Monarch; armed with the Flag of Ten Thousand Souls, his casual attacks are not simply one type of Divine Ability, but like the sky-covering black Sword Qi before him, directly covering an entire area.

From him as the center, the Sword Qi in the sky exploded in all directions; unless the Golden Winged Roc retreated, it must endure the attack of the Sword Qi.

The fierce Sword Qi pierced through the space, aiming at the Golden Winged Roc, which transformed into golden lightning streaking across the sky, leaving not a single Sword Qi able to harm it.
