These members of the monster tribe who weren’t qualified to enter the Qilian Demon Realm, although ignorant of the Supreme Taoist’s name, were driven by the fall of the Black Bear Great Demon King and their instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm to all consider fleeing this place.
Whether the outcome would be Shen Yuan exterminating the Demon Realm or the Demon Emperor suppressing Shen Yuan, it implied that a world-shocking battle was about to erupt here, and inevitably, these weak monsters without the power to protect themselves would face a dire calamity.
Shen Yuan paid no attention to these small demons scattering in flight. His gaze had already fallen on the depths of the Qilian Mountain Range, towards that hidden part of the Demons’ Realm, somewhere between the void and the present world.
Under the Pot’s Heaven Divine Power of the Fourth Realm, no grotto heavens sacred ground or Dragon Palace could escape Shen Yuan’s vision.
The expanse of the Qilian Demon Realm was no less than that of a whole grotto heavens sacred ground. Shen Yuan could even vaguely sense five Void Refining presences and two more profound auras from the Unity Realm Stage within it.
"It seems that the Qilian Demon Realm is not as simple as it appears on the surface."
A slight curve formed at the corner of his mouth, and in the next moment, a colossal tiger claw emerged from the void deep within the Qilian mountains, its might overshadowing the sun and heavily smacking down in Shen Yuan’s direction.
Space twisted, swallowing Shen Yuan and the others, reappearing them dozens of miles away in an instant.
As the huge black-and-white tiger claw smashed to the earth, a towering peak was smashed to pieces by the blow.
"Boom!"
With the loud rumbling, a black-and-white tiger emerged from the Qilian Demon Realm, its roars filled with anger.
"Supreme Taoist, do you really think my Qilian Demon Realm is unguarded?"
In an instant, a ferocious wind transformed into a rising tornado, showcasing the unwavering might of the Void Refining Demon Emperor.
Shen Yuan instinctively looked up to the sky, where the firmament remained clear, seemingly unaffected by the emergence of the Black Fiend Demon Emperor.
Shen Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, his right hand gestured with a sword finger, and as if out of nowhere, a streak of sword light appeared from the void.
The Darkness-Light Sword, bolstered by the power of the 10 Directions Universe Qi and combined with Sword Elemental Qi, interwove into an intricate web of Space Rifts that descended upon the Black Fiend Demon Emperor.
"Trifling tricks!"
A fierce light flashed in the eyes of the Black Fiend Demon Emperor, who raised its claw, the power of its Void Refining Stage bursting forth, its claw tearing through a great expanse of space to meet the sword light.
The clash of spaces collapsed instantly, the power of the void spreading from the center of their conflict, and the Black Fiend Demon Emperor instinctively employed its Natural Divine Power for protection. Still, it watched as the web of sword energy easily shattered its claw strike, tearing through its flesh.
The 10 Directions Universe Qi already embodied the manifested power of the Spatial Path, and with the addition of the Pot’s Heaven Divine Power, its spatial dominance far exceeded that of ordinary Void Refining powerful experts.
The strong body of the Fiend was bisected by the Space Rifts, its flesh consumed, exposing bone as white as snow beneath.
Seeing its state, the Black Fiend Demon Emperor transformed into a beam of escaping light, attempting to flee, but the Space Rifts, like a persistent shadow, made escape impossible.
Ferocious red eyes glinted with a ferocious color, and an overpowering evil Qi burst forth from the Demon King, tainting the land for thousands of miles into a domain of death.
The monstrous Qi of the Fiend violently impacted the Darkness-Light Sword, and Shen Yuan’s Primordial Spirit Sword Control Method was forcefully interrupted by this monstrous Qi.
The Darkness-Light Sword was fixed in place forcefully while in the void of the Qilian Demon Realm, the true killing intent revealed itself at this moment.
Countless vines transformed into a natural enclosure, covering a vast expanse of the Qilian Mountain Range, draining all of nature’s spiritual energy in an instant, turning it into a wasteland devoid of life.
The light of the Great Sun was obscured, and under the cover of boundless shadows, a colossal creature seemed to traverse the darkness, stepping towards Shen Yuan with a soul-trembling killing intent bursting from the dark.
Shen Yuan’s pupils trembled slightly, and layers of space unfolded in front of him, forming barriers to fend off the killing intent. Yet, without seeing the spatial barriers shattered, the killing intent remained inescapable as a shadow.
"It’s the shadows!"
As the thought processed, his Divine Skills once again surged forth.
Earthly Destroyer-Stars Destiny!
Stars descended from the vine-covered canopy of the sky, and with their help, Shen Yuan finally discerned the attacker—it was a leopard, deftly moving through the shadows.
Wherever there was shadow, the Shadow Leopard Demon Emperor could traverse at will. The spatial barriers were ineffective, and that’s why.
In the midst of these rapid thoughts, the Shadow Leopard Demon Emperor had already launched an attack from within the shadows, its razor-sharp claws already striking close.
Feeling the rhythm within the shadows, Shen Yuan’s sole Great Divine Power that reached the Second Realm finally revealed its potency in this moment.
Nine Breaths Qi Absorption-Zhuming Chengye!
The Second Realm’s Nine Breaths Qi Absorption Great Divine Power could bolster all the Qi of heaven and earth, ensuring that even the mid-tier Zhuming Chengye, when supported by the Nine Breaths Qi Absorption Great Divine Power, could display the might belonging to a Great Divine Power.
Like the brilliance of a great sun descending from the shadows, an immeasurable light radiated from Shen Yuan, illuminating the entire realm, melting all shadows like ice and snow.
"Impossible!"
A fearful roar of anger emitted from the mouth of the Shadow Leopard Demon Emperor, for the light of the great sun was certainly no ordinary light but a power almost akin to that of the Tao itself.
The light of the great sun not only devoured his domain but its boundless radiance also obliterated his physical body that had fled into the shadows.
The shadows he had once regarded as his territory had now become a death curse, dragging him step by step into the abyss.
In his panic, the Shadow Leopard Demon Emperor resolutely chose to burn his Spirit Soul to vie for a slim chance of survival.
The Spirit Soul of the Void Refining Demon Emperor briefly materialized a shadow under the great sun’s light, earning him a glimmer of hope for life.
Most of his body leapt from the shadows, returning to his original physical form, yet a small part dissipated along with the shadows under the scorching sun’s rays.
With half of his body lost, the Shadow Leopard Demon Emperor, looking at Shen Yuan as if he were the Sun Star Monarch descended upon the earth, hastily retreated back into the vines that blotted out the sky.
This meticulously set trap had come to an end in failure.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the 10 Directions Universe Qi that had been forcibly contained on the Darkness-Light Sword by the Black Fiend Demon Emperor completely erupted, tearing open vast spaces with chaotic Sword Qi.
Space collapsed, and the Darkness-Light Sword shuttled through the void, returning to Shen Yuan’s side.
Only then did Shen Yuan have a moment to leisurely look at the three Demon Emperors who had revealed themselves before him.
Although they possessed methods to shield themselves from Tianji, the will of heaven and earth could not be completely deceived by the actions of the three Demon Emperors; above the firmament of the Primal Chaos Realm, dark clouds had already begun to converge in masses, with a terrifying divine punishment silently brewing.
Regretfully scanning the three Demon Emperors before him, Shen Yuan shook his head and said,
"Is it just you three?"
With a step forward from his massive frame, he let out a low, ferocious roar with a twisted face:
"Being limited by heaven and earth, we cannot strike with full force, but it still isn’t something you can rely on to challenge the Qilian Demon Realm.
If you know what’s good for you, leave now. Otherwise, once heaven and earth revive further, we Five Great Demon Emperors will descend upon Primal Chaos Realm and slay you here!"
Countless vines wove together an ancient face, and the Rongyue Demon Emperor’s voice also rose at that moment.
"All the Taoist seeks is an explanation. Now that you have slain two Great Demon Kings of my Qilian Demon Realm and exterminated numerous members of our monster tribe within Qilian City, it should be enough to appease the Taoist’s anger.
If the Taoist still insists on pursuing the matter, the Five Great Demon Emperors will await the Taoist’s arrival within the Qilian Demon Realm!"
With those words, the three Demon Emperors chose to retreat into the Qilian Demon Realm, disappearing into the mountains.
However, the Qilian Demon Realm, which had always been hidden, now revealed itself without any attempt to conceal, deep within the mountains.
The Maine Coon Cat that had been following by Shen Yuan’s side narrowed its pupils and quickly said,
"Sir, these Demon Emperors have revealed themselves surely to lure you into the Demons’ Realm. You must not fall for it!"
Even Bai Xue, perched on Shen Yuan’s shoulder, stretched out a little paw, hooking Shen Yuan’s collar as if advising him not to enter the Demons’ Realm.
Shen Yuan stroked Bai Xue’s little head and softly smiled.
"They are certain I will enter the Qilian Demon Realm."
"Why is that?"
"Words spoken by the Supreme Taoist cannot be taken back, can they?"
The Maine Coon Cat looked anxious, hesitating to speak.
Shen Yuan did not opt to immediately step into the Qilian Demon Realm but instead, sat down cross-legged on the spot and took out several aged books from the Secret Realm Square-Inch.
"Of course, I must go to the Qilian Demon Realm."
"But before that, just wait for me to break through!"
