The great battle in Lihuo Prefecture was drawing to a close.
On the surface, the Human Race martial artists had won a sweeping victory. Demonic Creature corpses lay everywhere across the wilderness.
The Ten Southern Demons had been utterly wiped out.
The first echelon, Azure Demon—dead. The second echelon—Beautiful Demon, Terrifying Demon, Dragon Demon, and the rest—dead. The entire third echelon had perished.
Further down, every great demon that had made a name for itself, every outstanding figure qualified to replace the Ten Southern Demons, had likewise been killed one by one under the siege from all sides, their corpses fed into the Demon Transformation Cauldron.
The prefectural governors and city lords of the southeastern provinces, along with the mountain masters and high-ranking members of the Hundred Sect Alliance, had truly exerted themselves.
Though they were numerous, none possessed any exceptionally outstanding experts. Yet they had strength in numbers; when the wind blew against them, they showed tremendous resilience, able to endure one crushing defeat and casualty after another.
But once the battle turned in their favor as it had today, their advantage was magnified further, leaving the demonic creatures nowhere to hide, whether in heaven or on earth.
One great demon after another faced encirclement by forces a hundred or even a thousand times their number. They roared in grief and fury, yet still could not escape death.
Black smoke billowed across the battlefield. Corpses were continuously thrown into the Demon Transformation Cauldron, while batches of Demon Essence and Demon Ore were transported out.
The Cauldron Guard Army no longer needed to fight personally. They had shifted to registration, allocation, and coordinating progress, while also resolving disputes caused by people cutting in line.
The facts proved that the Human Race was the favored child, the cherished darling, of heaven
