Ananda was stunned in place upon hearing Long Xingyu's words.
He didn't know what to say.
In the past, he was always the one who gathered all his strength to find Long Xingyu for a fight, and only then would Long Xingyu engage.
What was happening now?
Long Xingyu was actually initiating a challenge, something he'd never done before.
He immediately intended to say something.
But the next moment, Long Xingyu waved his hand, and a spiritual light of slaughter erupted. Its brilliant aura spread out in all directions, instantly heading towards Ananda's location!
Soon, Ananda's clone shattered.
The spatial gate, formed by the terrifying spiritual energy, also dissipated and vanished.
At this point, Ananda completely lost all information about Long Xingyu. Instead, he was met with darkness, with only a blood-red hue remaining in his surroundings.
This sight infuriated Ananda.
The bloody aura of the Mad War Territory began to burn and erupt. Several volcanoes instantly spewed forth due to Ananda's rage.
Countless demons who had come seeking refuge trembled in fear.
And in their ears, they could faintly hear Ananda's roar: "Long Xingyu!"
"In three years, you will surely die!"
"No matter where you flee, you will have nowhere to hide!"
The demons of the entire Mad War Territory could never forget this tragic day. A Knight named Long Xingyu had provoked the Mad War Demon God, causing him to fly into a furious rage.
Ananda's fury resulted in chaos throughout the Mad War Territory, triggering natural disasters and causing countless demons to perish in calamities.
However, Long Xingyu was unaware of this matter.
But if he had known, he likely wouldn't have cared, and might have even thought about provoking Ananda further.
After all, this was something he welcomed.
As he was now, he silently waved his hand, and a special spiritual energy slowly drifted towards the Demon God Pillar at the very bottom of the Throne.
The Demon God Pillar resisted immediately but failed. It slowly rose and drifted towards Long Xingyu's position. Soon, it stood before him, emanating its aura.
However, despite its terrifying aura, it felt like a mere trifle compared to Long Xingyu's.
If it had possessed more sentience, it would likely be trembling right now, just like the Wolf Demon God before.
"This is the first time I'm directly facing a Demon God Pillar."
"A novel experience."
Long Xingyu thought to himself, but he didn't forget what he needed to do. He immediately reached out and struck the Seventy-first Pillar Wolf Demon God Pillar.
He wanted to see what would happen.
However, instead of witnessing changes in the Demon God Pillar, he received a system notification.
[Detected Host is shattering a Demon God Pillar. Current shattering value is 0. Once a Demon God Pillar is destroyed and re-controlled, it will be re-condensed and belong to the Host.]
[Note: If the Host does not re-control the Demon God Pillar, it will revert to its original state, automatically manifesting the Demon God Crown and a Demon God. When the Host re-controls the Demon God Pillar, both the Pillar and the Demon God will be subject to the Host's will!]
"Control the Demon God Pillar?"
"If that's the case, then I can break it with peace of mind."
Long Xingyu pondered.
Originally, he had been contemplating whether or not to shatter the Demon God Pillar.
Under normal circumstances, he would have definitely shattered it; it was his duty. But he knew that the Demon God Pillars existed to restrict Austin Griffin, who would later become his son Long Haochen's demonic beast companion, Haoyue.
The God of Calamity!
Yes, strictly speaking, the seventy-two Demon God Pillars formed a grand array known as the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Five Elements Annihilation Great Array. It sounded a bit chuunibyo, but its true power lived up to its name.
This was because the array was formed with the First Demon God Pillar, a Super Divine Artifact, and the Second and Third Demon God Pillars, Great Divine Artifacts, as its core. The array's power was formidable, capable of suppressing and even obliterating the fully realized God of Calamity, Austin Griffin.
While Austin Griffin might have made some concessions, the fact that he could be obliterated demonstrated the terrifying nature of this grand array!
Long Xingyu intended for Long Haochen to continue forming a contract with Austin Griffin. Their bond was already exceptionally strong.
Moreover, Long Xingyu liked to keep everything under his control.
This God of Calamity, naturally, needed to be firmly controlled.
Of course, he didn't lack confidence in his ability to suppress Austin Griffin in the future. After all, this was the God of Calamity, far stronger than beings like the Dragon God.
This was precisely why Long Xingyu was contemplating the matter.
Now that he could seize control of the Demon God Pillars, it meant that Long Xingyu would have greater control over this grand array in the future. With all these factors in play, Long Xingyu's chances of suppressing Austin Griffin in the future increased significantly.
"Then I'll break it."
"Coincidentally, it can also increase the evolution value of the Throne of Doomsday and Slaughter to a certain extent. That's quite acceptable."
This was Long Xingyu's inner thought.
Immediately, the Sword of the God Seal of Doomsday and Slaughter appeared in Long Xingyu's hand.
"Judgment of Holiness!" Long Xingyu shouted. He then swung the sword in his hand, releasing a blade of light. The crimson-gold radiance instantly struck the Seventy-first Pillar Demon God Pillar. In a flash, terrifying light erupted from within, causing the Demon God Pillar to tremble and cracks to appear.
[Detected host has begun shattering a Demon God Pillar. Current shatter value: 25%]
Hmm, even though the Demon God Pillar was incredibly tough, an Epic-grade Demon God Pillar was comparable to an Immortal-grade equipment. But before Long Xingyu, it was as fragile as a paper doll.
Long Xingyu didn't overthink it.
He simply continued his assault.
[50%] [75%] [100%]
After three strikes, the system issued a warning.
Instantly, the Demon God Pillar completely shattered, turning into a pile of fragments. In the world, a layer of rules faintly dissipated. The fragments, sensing the change in nearby spiritual energy, began to atomize, preparing to vanish into nothingness.
Yet, faintly, a special light flickered within, connecting the rules belonging to the Demon God Pillar with the fragments of the Demon God Pillar in this location.
Demon Capital Heart City.
At this moment, the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu was resting in bed.
But suddenly, he sensed something.
He slowly got up as if waking from a daze.
"A change in rules?" The Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu pondered suspiciously.
But then, he seemed to realize something. Instantly, wave after wave of the terrifying might of the Heaven-Defying Demonic Dragon erupted from him, spreading in all directions with formidable power.
"The Seventy-first Pillar Demon God Pillar?"
"What happened?"
