The colossal finger, sharp and unstoppable!
A terrifying pressure immediately caused the experts from both the Bayue and Wanmo divine kingdoms to look grim.
"Shield of the Heavenly Demon!"
Billowing demonic energy permeated the air, and in an instant, the two sides conjured a shield emanating an evil aura from above, using it to block the giant finger that stretched across the void.
Boom!!!
The giant finger moved with astonishing speed, instantly slamming into the Shield of the Heavenly Demon. It lasted for less than a breath before a cracking sound was heard, clearly indicating the Shield of the Heavenly Demon was unable to bear the strain and began to fracture. Then, with a 'bang,' it shattered, and just like that...
Under everyone's gaze, a colossal finger struck down upon the strong cultivators of the Bayue and Wanmo divine kingdoms, obliterating them all.
Terrifying energy scattered. The strong cultivators of the Bayue and Wanmo divine kingdoms were instantly reduced to bloody mist before they could even scream. The terrifying residual power immediately impacted an area of a thousand zhang, instantly annihilating countless trees into nothingness.
In a flash, the entire scene fell silent.
Within the arena, even the strongest ancestors of the Bayue and Wanmo divine kingdoms were annihilated, their corpses falling to the ground.
Hun Jiuyu, "!!!"
The War God Hall disciples, "!!!"
They actually... won?
Truly, at this moment, staring blankly at the ground before them, the shock in their hearts was unprecedented.
"That battle armor..."
Hun Jiuyu gazed at the battle armor Ye Xuan was wearing, recalling what had happened at the auction in War God Sacred City. His pupils couldn't help but tremble. "Esteemed sir, were you the one who auctioned the God-Shattering Pill in Sacred City that day?"
"Oh."
Hearing Hun Jiuyu's words, Ye Xuan's gaze fell upon him. He casually collected the spatial rings of the Bayue and Wanmo divine kingdoms, as their foundations naturally meant these were good items.
"Thank you for your intervention, sir!!"
After a brief exchange, Hun Jiuyu bowed deeply, and the War God Hall experts behind him also bowed in gratitude.
It could be said that this person before them was their savior!
No!
To be precise, he was not just a savior but also a benefactor to the War God Hall. They all understood clearly that if they had perished here, the only fate awaiting the War God Hall would be annihilation.
Furthermore, this person possessed not only extraordinary strength but also numerous divine pills!
"Sir!"
After a long period of contemplation, Hun Jiuyu took a deep breath. "Does your esteemed self have room for the War God Hall under your command?"
"I wish to..."
"From this day forward, the War God Hall will serve you!"
Looking at Ye Xuan with determined eyes, the War God Hall experts were stunned. Undoubtedly, this news had a significant impact on them. However, with a touch of bitterness in their eyes, they thought of what was to come.
The events of today had sounded a clear alarm for them. Even though the War God Hall was not weak, there were still many forces in the Divine Realm capable of destroying them with a mere flip of their hands. Coupled with the current invasion by Outer Demons impacting numerous factions, no one knew when the War God Hall might encounter a situation like the one they had just faced.
Therefore!
If they could establish a connection with such a distinguished individual, it would undoubtedly bring them many benefits in the future!
"Oh?"
Hearing Hun Jiuyu's words, Ye Xuan was slightly taken aback. "The War God Hall is willing to serve me?"
"If that is your intention, I would welcome it."
Ye Xuan smiled slightly. After all, the War God Hall was a fourth-grade force. If they joined the Xuanyuan Divine Kingdom, they would undoubtedly be a great asset in the future.
"Really!"
Hun Jiuyu, who had only been probing, was overjoyed upon hearing this. "Hun Jiuyu, along with the War God Hall, greets you, sir!!"
"We, greet you, sir!!"
They understood their own situation best. They knew that serving this esteemed individual now was the wisest decision for the War God Hall, and therefore, they said nothing more.
"Heh heh, rise."
Ye Xuan was in a rather good mood. He then turned his gaze to Hun Jiuyu. "From this day forward, Senior, you shall be the fourth elder of the Xuanyuan Divine Kingdom."
"Xuanyuan Divine Kingdom??"
Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words and his subsequent explanation, Hun Jiuyu and the others looked at Ye Xuan in astonishment. They clearly hadn't expected him to be the Divine Lord of a third-grade divine kingdom. However, this was evidently not important to them.
A short while later.
"You will immediately return to War God Sacred City and ensure no one takes advantage of the situation."
He paused before continuing, "I will accompany the Divine Lord to the divine cities of the Bayue and Wanmo two kingdoms. Half a day later, the War God Hall will dispatch troops to take over the territories of the two divine kingdoms. There must be no mistakes!"
"Yes, Ancestor Jiuyu!"
After giving his orders, Hun Jiuyu respectfully said to Ye Xuan, "Divine Lord, let us depart."
"En."
According to the original plan, Ye Xuan and Hun Jiuyu's group would head to the divine cities of the Bayue and Wanmo two kingdoms in advance, aiming to annihilate all the powerful individuals from both kingdoms. Only then could the subsequent takeover of the two kingdoms' territories be accomplished with minimal casualties.
Naturally, Ye Xuan's plan was not without purpose.
Before killing the strongest ancestors of the Bayue and Wanmo divine kingdoms, he had used the [Soul Searching Technique] to scour their memories. He had indeed uncovered a shocking secret.
That secret was that in the forbidden areas deep within the divine palaces of both kingdoms, there existed a place called the 'Heavenly Demon Pool.' There, anyone who was corrupted by Heavenly Demon energy would fall into a demonic state, and their combat power would increase significantly.
The so-called Heavenly Demon Pool was naturally his ultimate objective.
Two days later.
Deep within the Bayue Divine Kingdom, Hun Jiuyu and the other three were responsible for killing and holding back the powerful cultivators of the Bayue Divine Kingdom, while Ye Xuan swiftly moved to the depths of the Bayue Divine Palace.
Within the forbidden area.
Whoosh~
Ye Xuan flickered, and with the assistance of the artifact spirit of the Exquisite Pagoda, he arrived at the depths of the forbidden area. He distinctly sensed the dense Outer Demon energy permeating the surroundings. Not far away, there was a pool-like existence, which was precisely the 'Heavenly Demon Pool' from the memories of the strongest ancestor of Bayue.
"As expected... it is indeed the Heavenly Demon Pool, a common tactic used by the Outer Demons to invade the Divine Realm!"
The artifact spirit of the Exquisite Pagoda emerged, gazing at the Heavenly Demon Pool emitting demonic energy. "It seems that countless years ago, the Heavenly Demon race, unwilling to give up, buried many Heavenly Demon Pools with the intention of invading the Divine Realm once again! Their intentions are heinous!!"
"I wonder how many powerful cultivators and prodigies of our Divine Realm have been harmed by such a potent Heavenly Demon Pool!!"
"[Exquisite Pagoda - Purify Heaven and Earth]!"
Immediately, sacred white light surged from the Exquisite Pagoda. The evil demonic energy, upon touching the white light, melted away like snow and ice, clearly indicating that the purifying power of the Exquisite Pagoda was the nemesis of this type of demonic energy.
Simultaneously, Ye Xuan clearly felt a warm, comforting energy flowing into his body, which was precisely the feedback from the Exquisite Pagoda.
A quarter of an hour!
Three quarters of an hour! Five quarters of an hour!!
Approximately two hours later, the Heavenly Demon Pool deep within the forbidden area of the Bayue Divine Kingdom was completely purified. From this point onward, no more demonic energy would be generated here. As for the dimensional rifts, they were also repaired by the artifact spirit of the Exquisite Pagoda.
Buzz~
At this moment, Ye Xuan's strength also experienced a minor breakthrough. His cultivation at the sixth level of the Divine Emperor realm directly surpassed the peak and reached the ultimate peak. Feeling the complete purification of the Heavenly Demon Pool, Ye Xuan licked his lips and reacted, "Cough cough... the Heavenly Demon Pool is indeed a good thing. I've already reached the ultimate peak of the sixth level of the Divine Emperor realm? Tsk tsk~~~"
