“So, it’s you that wishes to challenge me.”
The frail and skinny Ice Demon Prefecture Master yawned as it peered sleepily at the Purgatory Behemoth Corpse Emperor.
“That’s right!”
The Purgatory Behemoth Corpse Emperor stated coldly, “Ice Demon Prefecture Master, you’ve taken steady possession of the Prefecture Master position for over 40,000 years. It’s time that you abdicate your position and hand over the Prefecture Master throne!”
“Since you’re aware that I’ve been Prefecture Master for over 40,000 years, then you should have also realized how strong I am. After all, there aren’t many that can sit so firmly on the Prefecture Master throne for over 40,000 years,” replied the Ice Demon Prefecture Master leisurely.
“Cut the crap! Let’s get down to it instead!”
The Purgatory Behemoth Corpse Emperor declared coldly, “Not only am I going to take your position as Prefecture Master today, but I’m also going to drive that bunch of damned Ice Demons out of the Ice Demon Prefecture!”
“How presumptuous!”
“How impudent!”
“It should be killed!”
Upon hearing the Purgatory Behemoth Corpse Emperor’s words, the 10,000,000 Ice Demon Prefecture Guards and all the Ice Demons in the city broke into curses. Fury and displeasure welled up within their eyes.
During the last 40,000 years when the Ice Demon Prefecture Master had been Prefecture Master, they, the Ice Demons, had indeed enjoyed a higher status than other demons. On top of that, they had also enjoyed the benefits and graces of several policies advantageous to themselves. Thus, they naturally didn’t show the Purgatory Behemoth Corpse Emperor any courtesy and hoped that its challenge would end in failure.
“Young Purgatory Behemoth Corpse Emperor, you should be aware of how you’ll end up when your challenge ends in failure.”
The Ice Demon Prefecture Master said dispassionately, “I’ll give you one last chance to change your mind. Call off the challenge at once and return to wherever you came from.”
“Are you scared, Ice Demon Prefecture Master?”
The Purgatory Behemoth Corpse Emperor was full of mockery.
“Scared? What an arrogant and ignorant fellow.”
The Ice Demon Prefecture Master shook its head lightly. Then, it said, “Go ahead and attack. I need to return to sleep after the challenge, so I don’t have time to waste here.”
“Die!”

Chapter 331: Intense Clash, Fishing In Troubled Waters
“Die!”
The Purgatory Behemoth Corpse Emperor let out a furious roar. Endless streams of ghastly white corpse aura burst forth from its body and converged into a huge palm capable of blotting out the sun. Then, it smacked downward brazenly.
Boom!
The dimension instantly splintered and broke. The huge palm of corpse aura passed through the air and appeared above the Ice Demon Prefecture Master. Then, it crashed downward like a great mountain crushing down on someone.
“How dare you antagonize me just because you have gained some corpse aura?”
A white, chilly air current shot forth with a flick of the Ice Demon Prefecture Master’s fingers. It gave off an alarming chill in the instant it collided with the huge palm of corpse aura.
Crack!
The huge palm of corpse aura was instantly frozen, and then it turned into large expanses of falling snowflakes.
During this precise moment, the Purgatory Behemoth Corpse Emperor abruptly showed up right in front of the Ice Demon Prefecture Master. Its gigantic palm smacked downward at the Ice Demon Prefecture Master at lightning-quick speed.
“That’s more like it!”
A smile appeared on the Ice Demon Prefecture Master’s countenance, and it promptly raised its right palm—which was formed out of ice—to meet the attack.
Crack!
Both palms collided with each other. The dimension exploded as an earth-shattering boom rang out.
The sky turned into a black hole that swallowed the Ice Demon Prefecture Master and the Purgatory Behemoth Corpse Emperor in an instant. However, the two demons were unaffected, and they continued to fervently bombard each other with attacks.
Bam, bam, bam!
Crack, crack, crack!
Energy waves burst into the surroundings. The black hole in the sky continuously expanded. Air fluxes surged and churned as gales wreaked havoc. It was as though doomsday had come in the skies above Ice Demon City.
“H-how terrifying!”
“Given my strength, there’s no doubt that I’ll die if the resulting impact waves hit me!”
“So, is that what a Prefecture Master-level battle is like?!”
The demons in Ice Demon City were in a panic, for fear that the battle between the Ice Demon Prefecture Master and the Purgatory Behemoth Corpse Emperor would implicate them and bring them death.
In truth, they weren’t the only ones feeling that way because even a Great Demon God like Meng Lei was filled with fear and trepidation in the face of the battle.
The clash between mid-level Great Demon Gods was too intense. Every hit was capable of causing grievous injuries to them.
“Dodola, I’ve finally come to understand why the gap between each cultivation stage is as wide as an insurmountable obstacle after one becomes a higher deity.”
Meng Lei was filled with great emotion. He had also become a higher deity by now and could totally sense how strong and powerful the Ice Demon Prefecture Master and the Purgatory Behemoth Corpse Emperor were. Be it their speed, physical strength, or their reflexes, none of them was something that an ordinary Great Demon God could compare to.
“Duh!”
Dodola sighed and said, “At the Great Demon God stage, every step forward is filled with great difficulties. Not only must one consume a vast amount of treasures, but they also need to accumulate strength and resources over a long period of time. It’s no exaggeration to say that every step forward is countless times more difficult than a mortal becoming a god.”
Meng Lei nodded
