Chen Nan's heart is benevolent!
He cannot stand the suffering of the mortal world!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have ventured into the Demon Realm alone!
Although finding a divine medicine in the Demon Realm and refining the Three Lives Creation Pill for his daughter was a factor.
Even without this factor, he would have entered the Demon Realm to seal the teleportation array.
And unite the Demon Realm, ensuring eternal peace between humans and demons.
But!
Benevolence does not necessarily mean being a saint.
When one must be ruthless, one must be cruel and unfeeling!
After all, the survival of demons is contrary to that of humans.
To change the current state of the Demon Race.
It must go through slaughter and war.
Only by learning to resist.
Can they truly grow and break free from the rule of the eighteen Demon Emperors.
Even if only a few thousand out of millions of demon civilians survive today.
No!
Even if only a few thousand!
These few thousand people can become a spark that ignites a prairie fire!
Faith!
What the Demon Race lacks is faith!
Once they have faith.
With their terrifying reproductive capabilities.
And their bloodthirsty, cruel nature!
Let alone humans.
Even the combined forces of the monster race would be unable to defeat them.
In the mine.
When Gu Jin's subordinates regained consciousness and began their slaughter.
The demon civilians scattered in panic.
No one dared to resist.
They begged for mercy ceaselessly.
But their attackers gave them no chance to live.
The weapons in their hands were like the scythes of death, reaping lives!
"Let's go all out!"
"Even if I die, I'll take one with me!"
Finally!
Someone let out a roar of defiance against fate!
He wielded a large hammer!
And brutally smashed the head of a strongman.
After the kill.
He felt no fear.
Only endless exhilaration.
Because he had never felt so unburdened before.
He vented all his anger and frustration.
Then he charged at the other demon experts.
Chen Nan stood there quietly.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
This fellow could be cultivated.
The slaughter lasted for a day and a night.
The results were disappointing.
Although Gu Jin's eight hundred thousand subordinates were all dead.
Only eight hundred of the enslaved miners survived.
And all of them were seriously injured.
However.
Their eyes revealed determination, cruelty.
And excitement!
This battle was extremely brutal!
Demon blood turned the vast mining pit into a lake of blood!
Chen Nan used the Blood Demon Great Law to devour all the blood and demonic energy!
Regrettably.
He did not break through to the second level of the Blood Demon Great Law.
"More than five million demon powerhouses died here."
"The blood and demonic energy of so many powerhouses were not enough to elevate me to the second level of the Blood Demon Great Law."
"To cultivate the Blood Demon Great Law to the ninth level, how many demon powerhouses' blood energy must I absorb?"
Chen Nan's heart was restless.
Hundreds of millions?
He had no answer.
"Senior, we are willing to swear an oath to heaven to follow you forever."
"Please take us as your servants!"
"If we break this oath, may lightning strike us!"
At this moment.
The young man who had first resisted knelt on one knee before Chen Nan.
After this brutal battle.
They understood what Chen Nan wanted them to comprehend.
Therefore.
They wanted to follow Chen Nan.
The others also knelt on one knee, their eyes full of expectation.
They didn't know Chen Nan's grievances with Gu Jin.
But once the arrow is loosed, there's no turning back.
The moment they resisted, they were destined to become sworn enemies with Gu Jin.
And following Chen Nan was undoubtedly a wise choice.
Chen Nan asked, "What is your name?"
"Reporting to senior, my junior's name is Zhuang Shan," the young man replied with a clear voice.
Chen Nan was speechless at this name.
But then he thought about it.
For a demon, having a name meant having parents who loved him.
Why bother about whether the name was good or bad?
"From now on, you are the leader of these eight hundred people."
"We need to give you all a resounding name."
"Let's call yourselves the Eight Hundred Blood Robes!"
With that said.
A cultivation technique appeared in his hand.
True Demon Art!
This was an extremely powerful cultivation technique.
Second only to the Blood Demon Great Law!
Little did Chen Nan expect.
That the name he casually gave today would, in the future, shock the entire Demon Realm!
Becoming a force to be reckoned with!
"Senior, what is your relationship with Emperor Gu Jin?"
"How do you possess Emperor Gu Jin's True Demon Art?"
Upon seeing the name of the cultivation technique.
Zhuang Shan gasped.
The others were also filled with dread.
They all knew that Emperor Gu Jin practiced the True Demon Art.
But.
Who could have imagined that Chen Nan would also have the True Demon Art?
Chen Nan chuckled, "As long as you cultivate diligently, you will surely become a Level Nine Demon Emperor in the future."
In fact, this True Demon Art was obtained by Chen Nan from Cong Zun.
After all, to cultivate one's own power.
One must have powerful cultivation techniques.
The difference was.
This True Demon Art had been improved by Cong Zun.
It was far more profound than the one he bestowed upon Gu Jin back then.
In fact, Gu Jin's talent was not very strong.
It was only because Cong Zun had custom-created the True Demon Art for him.
Otherwise.
He would never have been able to become a Level Nine Demon Emperor.
However.
The un-improved True Demon Art had a major drawback.
That was the need for a large amount of demonic stones.
"Take the demonic stones from this place, and I will take you somewhere to cultivate."
"I hope you do not disappoint me when you return."
Chen Nan planned to take them into the Immortal Mansion to cultivate.
The time ratio on the sixth floor of the Immortal Mansion was one day outside to two thousand years inside.
As long as they cultivated for ten days to half a month.
Their cultivation could be significantly improved.
Zhuang Shan and the others immediately found the storage magical artifacts containing the demonic stones.
Then they were collected by Chen Nan into the sixth floor of the Immortal Mansion.
The reason for not going to the seventh floor was simple.
Cong Zun did not wish to be disturbed.
Afterward, Chen Nan slightly modified the formation.
Turning it into an offensive formation, he completely destroyed the mine.
Just as he finished these preparations and was about to leave.
A group of powerhouses appeared in the south.
Leading them was a Level Five Demon Emperor.
Upon seeing Chen Nan.
He gasped, "You're still alive?"
"Damn it, you destroyed this mine?"
He had followed Gu Jin in battle.
He had witnessed Gu Jin kill Chen Nan with a single palm strike.
He hadn't expected him to still be alive.
Chen Nan grinned, "I heard Gu Jin has three mines. Today is just to teach him a lesson."
"Go back and tell Gu Jin."
"In one month, I will destroy his second mine."
"Do you think you will survive today?" the Level Five Demon Emperor roared with rage. He unleashed a palm strike, and a demonic dragon appeared, crushing towards Chen Nan.
Chen Nan used his Eternal Domain to block his fatal blow, a hint of disdain appearing on his face, "Even the Level Nine Demon Emperor Gu Jin couldn't kill me, and you think you can?"
"Excuse me for asking, but what are you?" As he spoke, he took Bai Jie into the Immortal Mansion.
Saying the harshest words.
Doing the most cowardly thing!
The Level Five Immortal Emperor was surprised that Chen Nan had vanished into thin air.
Without hesitation.
He immediately returned to Mang Mountain and knelt on one knee, nervously saying, "Great Emperor, Mine Number Three is in trouble."
"That human formation master killed our people and destroyed our mine!"
Cong Zun sent him flying with a palm strike, roaring, "A dead man killed my eight hundred thousand experts and destroyed my mine?"
"Do you think this Emperor will believe your lies?"
