With a single sweep, the demonic clouds scattered like smoke. Before the billions of heavenly demons could even shriek, they had already been reduced to dust.
At the same time, the Merit Golden Wheel behind his head suddenly swelled, its radiance stretching ten thousand zhang, as though the Sun Star had descended into the world. Spanning billions of li, it illuminated and pierced through all darkness.
"Sizzle, sizzle."
The sizzling sounds were unceasingly heard.
Only to see the towering demonic clouds actually like red-hot iron abruptly plunged into a cold pool—green smoke rose up and rushed straight towards Yunxiao, looking from afar like auspicious clouds curling through the sky.
But that was not the case.
Across the ten directions and Eight Extremes, miserable cries rose and fell. Beneath the Golden Light of Merit, the bodies of billions of heavenly demons dissolved inch by inch. Like snow meeting the blazing sun, their sinews, bones, flesh and skin all turned to nothingness.
Those screams pierced straight into the depths of the soul, shaking the heavens and ten worlds, and did not cease for a long time.
"You bald donkey! Your mouth speaks of compassion, but your heart is vicious! You slaughtered billions of my heavenly demon descendants, yet made them suffer such torment while alive. What kind of 'deliverance' is that? Does that not run directly contrary to your own doctrines? Hmph, you are nothing more than a fraud stealing a name, deceiving all living beings!"
Papiyas watched as billions of his heavenly demon offspring crumbled inch by inch beneath the Golden Light of Merit, their bodies flaking away like spring snow under the sun. The soul-piercing wails made the void tremble—and made the fury of this lord of all demons surge all the more violently.
His verbal mockery did not cease.
