Infiltration, Death, and Pursuit

Two months later, in the Chaotic Sea, a hundred-foot-tall Realm Gate quietly appeared.

Not long after, a Fifth-Tier Peak-Grade War Flying Vessels arrived.

On the Flying Boat stood many powerful figures, all of whom were under the command of the Four Symbols Alliance, including twenty-two members of the Yang Household family.

Roar!!

At this moment, one after another, Demon Beasts surged out from the Realm Gate. The leader, True Person Qingyan, smiled coldly, waved his sleeves, and wisps of blue and red True Fire descended from the void, burning these Demon Race to ashes.

"Four Symbols Army, attack!!"

With a massive army of ten thousand men clearing the way, the powerful Demon Race pouring out from the Realm Gate were quickly wiped out.

Upon entering the Realm Gate, a scene reminiscent of the creation of the world unfolded before their eyes. Hundreds of miles away, a city wall was slowly rising, demonstrating that the Nine Phoenix Realm was indeed faster.

However, this time, the Lu Wu Realm side held an absolute advantage in strength, and the Four Symbols Army Corps, painstakingly cultivated by the Four Symbols Alliance, revealed its true ferocious side.

"Kill!"

The Commander of the Four Symbols Army, a Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivator, roared and led a group of powerful warriors to charge forward.

The army of ten thousand was divided into ten routes, each with a thousand men. Once they formed Battle Formation, they could traverse the Nascent Soul Realm.

In other words, the Four Symbols Army has only been trained for over forty years and is only equivalent to Prefecture-Level Army Corps, which is somewhat inferior to the Purple Moon Army.

If it were a true Sacred Land-Level Army Corps, like the Reverse Scale Army, five hundred soldiers would be enough to sweep through the Nascent Soul Realm and even clash with the Spirit Transformation cultivator.

Of course, it's quite impressive that an army like this has been cultivated over more than forty years; it's more than enough to occupy a small Realm Gate.

After the war began, Yang Danglong, Yang Tiankang and others did not participate at all. Instead, with the cooperation of the Four Symbols Army, they boarded Fourth Tier Flying Boat and flew straight to the Realm Gate on the other side.

Because their forces held an absolute advantage, all the Nine-Phoenix Realm Experts who attempted to stop them were blocked by the Four Symbols Army, and could only watch helplessly as the Flying Boat disappeared into the Realm Gate and entered the Nine Phoenix Realm.

This is a reddish-brown plateau with countless ravines and gullies, where fierce winds blow constantly, and sand and stones fly everywhere. A tall Realm Gate stands in a deep valley, surrounded by powerful figures from the Nine Phoenix Realms. The one with the highest cultivation is an ape with red fur, at the Middle Stage of Spirit Transformation realm.

This small Realm Gate was the one it was responsible for leading its Demon Race in their conquests.

A blue Flying Boat emerged from the Realm Gate. The Explosive Flame Divine Ape grinned ferociously, exhaling two wisps of scorching white vapor from its nostrils, before reaching out its hand to grab at it.

A gigantic fiery hand swept across the sky, scorching the space in its path and causing ripples to spread.

Boom!!

Unexpectedly, the azure Flying Boat exploded, its terrifying power comparable to the full-force attack of Spirit Transformation Late Stage cultivator. The Explosive Flame Divine Ape was severely injured by this attack, and many of the Demon Race around it suffered heavy casualties.

Whoosh!

At this moment, streaks of light flew out from the Realm Gate, then scattered like Celestial Maidens scattering flowers, fleeing in all directions.

"Damn it, you little bug!" The Explosive Flame Divine Ape roared, and its fiery red fur burst into explosive flames that scorched the sky for miles around.

"Die!!"

With a deafening roar, two exceptionally brilliant beams of flame shot out from the eyes of the Explosive Flame Divine Ape.

Bang bang!!

Streaks of light exploded in the air, then were burned into ash by the blazing flames, falling in droves.

The numerous powerful Demon Race surrounding the Explosive Flame Divine Ape also began to take action, intercepting the powerful figures from the Lu Wu Realm who had infiltrated.

However, the powerful members of the Four Symbols Alliance did not engage them in combat at all, and instead used their pre-prepared escape methods.

In the end, of the more than two hundred people who had infiltrated, nearly half were killed or wounded, and some were captured alive by the Demon Race.

Of the twenty-two members of the Yang Household, eight perished and one was captured alive; all of them were at the Golden Core Realm.

Of the four people Yang Tianyou was most familiar with, his Thirteenth Granduncle Yang Danglong, was seriously injured, but at least he managed to escape.

Twelfth Uncle Yang Qiongchuan was rather unlucky; he was directly attacked by the Explosive Flame Divine Ape and turned to ashes.

Sixth Brother Yang Tiankang and Fourth Sister Yang Tianxue also escaped and hid in the deep mountains and forests. They both suffered minor injuries and were waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Lu Wu Realm, Purple Moon Mountain, Yang Household Ancestral Hall.

Yang Tianyou stood with his hands behind his back, watching the Soul Lamps before him go out one by one.

Suddenly, the Soul Lamp representing Yang Qiongchuan went out. Yang Tianyou felt a pang of pain in his heart and slowly closed his eyes.

"Uncle Twelfth..." he murmured to himself, his mind drifting back to that cheerful and bold man.

"Another familiar clansman is gone!" Yang Haoyu's sigh came from behind.

Yang Tianyou turned around and saw Yang Haoyu with a complicated expression, and Yunhua standing beside him, looking at him with worry.

"Don't hesitate. I will unconditionally support any decision you make. Go for it!" Yang Haoyu looked directly at Yang Tianyou and said firmly, his clear eyes filled with unspeakable trust.

Yang Tianyou nodded emphatically, his figure gradually fading away. He still had to guard the World Interstice; what had come to the ancestral hall was merely a Law Power Incarnation.

A faint, almost inaudible Jianming rang out Ten Thousand Demon Continent, and the head of a blue ape that was on guard suddenly fell off.

A mask, seemingly real yet shrouded in a hazy mist, suddenly appeared and swallowed the ape whole.

A moment later, Yang Tiankang, who had transformed into this demonic form, swaggered out of the forest.

Using the Thousand Illusion Mask crafted by Wang Shan, Yang Tiankang frequently changed identities, successfully breaking through the Demon Race's encirclement time and time again, getting closer and closer to his destination.

In the dim, underground environment, Yang Tiankang recalled the map of the Ten Thousand Demon Continent.

The Thousand Illusion Mask can absorb certain memories, so it has already determined its location.

The Explosive Flame Demon Kingdom Royal Clan by the Explosive Flame Divine Ape Clan, which occupies the southeastern part of the Ten Thousand Demon Continent.

Yang Tiankang is currently located at the southernmost edge of the Explosive Flame Demon Kingdom. Fifty thousand miles further south lies the Ocean of the Nine Phoenix Realm, where the defenses are weakest. Moreover, the Water Tribe are already dissatisfied with the Jiufeng Imperial Clan. Although they dare not rebel, they often outwardly comply with orders but inwardly disobey. Therefore, once you reach the Ocean, you are basically safe.

As time passed, Yang Tiankang, relying on his many trump cards, successfully arrived at a mountain not far from the coast, where a rugged Demon Race city stood.

Many Demon Race who had transformed into human form, and Half-Demons who were in human form themselves, were bustling about in the city, creating a prosperous scene.

According to the standards of the Lu Wu Realm, this city should be classified as a county-level city, inhabited by 20,000 to 30,000 Demon Race, the strongest of whom is only at the Late Golden Core stage.

Yang Tiankang smiled coldly, his Sword Intent surging forth. A world seemingly born in the ancient era quietly descended, its terrifying Sword Qi resembling the pure and turbid energies created at the dawn of time, capable of tearing everything apart.

With the perfect fusion of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha, and Yang Tiankang's advancement to the Nascent Soul Realm, the power of the Heaven and Earth of the Sword also reached a new level.

"Ah!!"

A series of shrill screams echoed through the city. With a single strike of Yang Tiankang's sword, more than two thousand low-level Demon Race were instantly killed. Blood flew everywhere, Sha Qi rose, and wails filled the air.

However, how could Yang Tiankang, who had witnessed the Demon Race of the Nine Phoenix Realm wantonly slaughtering Human Race, show any mercy?

With flashes of sword light, after slaying tens of thousands of Demon Race, he suddenly sensed a powerful aura rapidly approaching. He cursed under his breath, "Annoying," and transformed into a streak of snow-white sword light, disappearing into the vast deep sea.

From behind, a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator from the Explosive Flame Divine Ape Clan flew over, glanced at the devastation of the city below, and remained unmoved.

"Hmph, do you think you can escape my grasp by hiding in the Ocean? Wishful thinking!" The Nascent Soul expert of the Explosive Flame Divine Ape Clan snorted coldly, ignoring the continuous screams of agony from the city below, and transformed into a streak of red light, chasing into the deep sea.
