Chrono Cave,
Near the passage connecting the Demon World and Chrono Cave,
Seven Demon Lords sat cross-legged here with grim expressions, nursing their wounds.
After a long while, the Heavenly Wing Demon Lord opened his eyes,
sighing: "These injuries won't heal for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. The attacker is undoubtedly a World-Creation Realm powerhouse!"
The thought sent chills down his spine.
Fortunately, the opponent had no intention of killing them,
or else not a single one of them would have escaped!
"Did Netherworld Hell set us up?"
the Demon Lord Moluo said gravely.If such a strong figure existed in the Mortal Realm, Hell's Gate should have known!
Knowing and not warning them—wasn't that setting them up to fail?
"Doesn't seem likely. Both Netherworld Hell and those Ancient Ancestors were equally shocked by the appearance of that mysterious existence. It's very likely they don't even know there's a World-Creation Realm powerhouse stationed here!"
"Otherwise, they probably wouldn't dare to show themselves!"
One Demon Lord shook his head.
"So what do we do now? Four Demon Lords have fallen, and the Mirror of All Heavens was stolen by the opponent. Should we notify the Demon Lords stationed in the Demon World?"
The losses from this defeat were enormous for them.
They had to come up with a plan to make up for it!
"What's the point of notifying them?"
"Even if they come, it would just be a death trap."
"Facing a true World-Creation Realm expert, even those ancient relics approaching that level can only end up destroyed. Moreover, with the Mirror of All Heavens in the enemy's hands, those old relics are even less of a match. Their arrival won't help at all!"
Originally, the Mirror of All Heavens was meant to intimidate Netherworld Hell's strong figures and those Ancient Ancestors in the Forbidden Lands,
but it ended up stolen by others!
"So what now? Are we really powerless?"
Having finally entered the Mortal Realm,
they not only suffered losses but couldn't even enjoy the many delicacies around,
just thinking about it made them frustrated!
When had the Demon Race ever suffered such humiliation?
"For now, we can only avoid that mysterious powerhouse!"
"If the Demon World had a World-Creation Realm expert, we wouldn't be afraid of him!"
Truly, the power to crush lives with strength alone!
"I wonder if those ancient relics in the Demon World can open the passage between the Mortal Realm and Netherworld Hell? If the World-Creation Realm powerhouses in Netherworld Hell could cross over, dealing with the opponent might be easy!"
"No way. Without World-Creation Realm cultivation, the passage between two realms can't be broken."
All the Demon Lords sighed.
For now, all they could do was wait for the right moment!
But no one knew how long that would take!
"However, that mysterious existence hasn't continued to chase and kill us, which means he tacitly agrees to our presence in the Mortal Realm!"
"And the barrier he set only blocks powerhouses above the Demon Emperor realm, not affecting other Demon Race members. This indirectly shows his intention!"
"We Demons can enter the barrier but cannot cross his boundary!"
"He must want the people in the Mortal Realm to solve the problem themselves!"
After some discussion among the six Demon Lords,
since they couldn't enter themselves,
they sent the weaker Demon Race members in instead,
thinking this wouldn't anger the opponent too much!
At their command,
Demons at Demon Saint rank and below braced themselves and charged into the barrier in a grand wave.
As the Demon Lords expected,
no matter how many Demons poured in,
Long Yuan did not intervene.
Instead, the Chu family led all the Martial Emperors and Martial Saints in a fierce battle against the Demons!
Though there were already many Martial Emperors inside the barrier,
the Demons were not only numerous,
but many Demon Saints possessed overwhelming combat power.
After all, the Demons had accumulated power for too long,
and geniuses were countless!
Among them were many descendants of Demon Lords,
possessing Demon Race bloodlines,
which rivaled divine bodies in power.
Under various circumstances,
even with the Chu family leading numerous Martial Emperors, the battle remained deadlocked!
However, Long Yuan instructed Dragon Ao Tian to keep a constant watch on the battlefield.
If the Mortal Realm side truly fell into a desperate situation,
he would secretly intervene to change the tide!
After all, the authority to speak was in their hands;
changing the rules was entirely up to them.
So although danger might arise,
a complete annihilation would not happen!
At this moment, Long Yuan was absorbing the system reward cultivation of thirty thousand years,
which, under the family level's boost, amounted to 2.7 million years!
Thus, the absorption would take a very long time!
But then, suddenly, a voice came to Long Yuan's ear.
"Junior Chu Yan returns to the family, please ask the Beast God to open the barrier!"
"Hmm? That kid Chu Yan is back?"
Long Yuan opened his eyes,
his golden pupils looking beyond the barrier.
At this moment, Chu Yan was fighting several Demon Gods,
fiery flames roaring from him, blazing tens of thousands of meters high. Behind him, nine Heavenly Flames formed floating fire rings, creating a thunderous momentum!
With a fiery fist strike,
he instantly exploded a Demon God's head.
Then a dragon's roar sounded,
a golden dragon spiraled above his head, controlling the dragon's mouth to suddenly pounce and swallow a Demon God whole.
That was the Dragon Body artifact he had originally obtained from Wu Fu, the First Gate Lord of Hell's Gate.
"The opponent is strong, don't hold back!"
Demon Gods nearby shouted.
Several Demon Gods were shrouded in surging demonic energy, blotting out the sky,
transforming into various attack forms to assault Chu Yan.
On Chu Yan’s fist bloomed firelight,
as he killed his way through the crowd of Demon Gods.
He did not use the Divine Fire’s power.
In Chu Yan’s eyes,
these Demon Gods were not worthy of forcing him to use Divine Fire!
Fire blazed into the sky, demonic energy spread wildly,
Chu Yan flashed upward and appeared before a Heavenly Wing Demon,
his clenched fist swung,
a punch smashed forward.
Boom!
The void within tens of thousands of meters completely collapsed, a terrifying void storm surged out, engulfing everything around!
Facing this Martial God powerhouse who had just slain several Demon Gods,
the Wing Demon dared not take the hit head-on.
His huge wings flapped,
instantly flying away from the spot.
But even so,
one of his wings was burned to ashes by Chu Yan!
At that moment, several Demon Gods behind attacked simultaneously,
their demonic transformations manifesting various attacks,
aiming for Chu Yan’s vital points.
One Demon even punched through Chu Yan’s back,
the terrifying demonic energy piercing through his body.
However, Chu Yan seemed uninjured,
not a drop of blood flowed out.
Instead, white flames blazed on the pierced wound, gradually healing it.
The Demon who punched through his body’s expression suddenly changed drastically,
shouting: "Everyone be careful! His body can turn into fire!"
Because just before his attack landed,
he clearly felt the opponent’s body turn into flames first,
dodging his strike!
But how was that possible?
How could a human body transform into fire to evade attacks?
As he was shocked,
Chu Yan’s fist spun horizontally,
sweeping a colorful flame punch across, once again blasting his head apart!
"Kill!"
Chu Yan growled low,
charging toward other Demons around.
Fists collided,
blazing flames and demonic energy surged,
divine light shone brightly across the nine heavens,
demonic energy spread wildly, engulfing the four extremes!
Each collision erupted with earth-shattering sounds,
terrifying energy echoed between heaven and earth!
