Defeated and Fleeing

"Boom!"

The roar was equivalent to that of a nuclear bomb detonating in the hundreds of thousands of tons, which shook the heavens and the earth.

Like the sun falling, the light, accompanied by a massive shockwave, tore through the atmosphere, forming a visible white atmospheric ring that swept outwards at supersonic speeds.

The core area was instantly reduced to ashes by the terrifyingly high temperature.

Even the most powerful Demonic Beasts, if they happen to be within this area, cannot even leave behind a corpse. They are like sand sculptures in the face of a tsunami, easily crushed into dust.

The intense heat carried the flames that continued to spread in all directions like wildfire, the charred arcs reaching for miles around, turning the mountains, rivers, forests, and plains within that range into a sea of fire.

The hurricane formed by the rapid compression of the atmosphere spread for dozens of miles. Even the Xuan Bird Fighter, Hongye, Lu Zhanxian, Youquan True Lord, Leng Ningshuang and others who were fighting the demonic bird at a distance of more than thirty miles felt a terrifying hot wind "slapping" their bodies. If they were not Primordial Spirit True Lord with superb cultivation, but ordinary people riding flying beasts, they would definitely be blown away by the hurricane along with their mounts.

This is best illustrated by the ground they are on.

Shrubs, grass, and even some trees several meters tall were uprooted by the shockwave, and countless rocks and soil were thrown into the air and scattered in even more distant directions.

The deafening roar and shockwaves that shook the earth extended for miles around.

Demonic Beasts and human cultivators a hundred miles away can sense it clearly.

In a ditch only six miles from the epicenter of the explosion, a Demonic Beasts king curled up its body as much as it could, still unable to stop emitting shrill screams.

This is the Demonic Beasts king Yafan, who originally served the Daoli Spirit Lord and guided the Great Mill Spirit Lord, leading three thousand Great Swamp Demonic Beasts into Muzhou.

Even though the Demonic Beasts king immediately hid in a crevice in the ground upon sensing the impending danger, the terrifyingly high temperature and flames continued to assault its curled-up body because it was too close.

These flames, like the sharpest blades, charred, cut, and peeled away inch by inch from its body surface, leaving most of its exposed body almost completely burned to charcoal.

Fortunately...

It was ultimately Demonic Beasts king skilled in defense.

In addition, being located six miles away from the nuclear explosion's epicenter, they also found a small crevice in the ground at the most critical moment.

The crevice wasn't large, but it allowed it to withstand the most terrifying scorching and impacting flames, stubbornly holding on.

After the flames and intense light subsided somewhat, a terrifying super hurricane swept up its massive form and tossed it into the air, smashing it several miles away.

When the hurricane dissipated, its body, which had been buried in the dust and looked like a roasted beggar's chicken, crawled out of the dust, screaming as it looked toward the area where the three Demonic Beasts kings were.

There...

You can still vaguely see the light and shadow of a huge fireball burning fiercely in a mushroom cloud-like smoke that fills the sky and earth.

The clouds were torn apart, forming three superimposed giant atmospheric rings that remained in the sky.

That vastness, that immense size, creates a visually stunning impact that shakes the soul.

Under such shock, even though Avan was Demonic Beasts king and his true form was a catastrophic Demonic Spirit in the Demon Realm, he still couldn't help but feel a tremor from the depths of his soul.

"What is this... what is this..."

Its eyes widened, and it was so terrified that it almost lost its voice.

It opened and closed its hideous, gaping maw, seemingly trying to say something, to express the shock in its heart. But for several breaths, it could only repeat the word "What is this?" without being able to utter a complete sentence.

"Emperor... Emperor... This is the final destruction brought about by the power of an Emperor."

After a long while, the Demonic Beasts king finally roared.

His voice was filled with uncontrollable horror and fear.

Demonic Beasts Emperor.

They, three Demon Emperors, leading dozens of Demonic Beasts Kings, actually dared to challenge a Demonic Beasts Emperor with such audacity!?

"Waaah!"

At that moment, painful cries could be heard not far from it.

Avan looked in the direction from which the mournful cry came.

Just then, Demonic Beasts king, whose entire body was charred by the intense heat of the flames, let out a painful scream.

It seemed to be mourning the deaths of the three Demonic Beasts kings.

Avan looked around.

However, it was not only the three great Demonic Beasts emperors, including the Great Demon Spirit Lord, but also hundreds, even thousands, of great Demonic Beasts and Demonic Beasts kings around them that had been reduced to ashes by the same destructive power.

Too close.

Since the Great Spirit Lord was not prepared for a decisive battle with humans, and since the Dragon Fall Ridge, the battlefield set up by humans, was still some distance away, the three Demon Emperors did not assign those Demonic Beasts kings to any of them.

These Demonic Beasts kings basically surrounded them.

Therefore, when that human Heavenly Emperor unleashed a power equivalent to a strike from Demonic Beasts emperor, he not only annihilated the three Demonic Beasts emperors on the spot, but also caused harm to the surrounding Demonic Beasts kings.

This can be seen from the fact that it was located six miles away, was skilled in defense, and even hid in an underground fissure at a critical moment, yet still suffered such heavy damage.

Under such destructive power, those who can survive are either ten miles away or Demonic Beasts kings with perfected immortal demon bodies, specifically defensive immortal demon bodies.

Others...

They could not escape the fate of being reduced to charcoal.

It can be said that that attack not only killed the three Demonic Beasts emperors, but also annihilated more than ten Demonic Beasts kings.

As for the great Demonic Beasts in the vicinity, there are hundreds or even thousands of them.

"Roar!"

Just then, a furious roar came from the side.

The next moment, Demonic Beasts king resembling an ape leaped up and delivered a thunderous blow to Avan's head, sending his hundreds-of-tons-weight body flying dozens of meters before crashing heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust and stone chips.

"Yafan, you have deceived us. That terrifying being in the Qiantian has not died."

In the midst of the dizziness, the angry roar of the demonic Demonic Beasts king rang out.

"That terrifying being?"

Yafan wanted to refute it.

Only...

It was also from the words of the Trayastrimsa Spirit Lord that he learned that the terrifying being who guarded the Qian Heaven was dead.

After Demonic Spirit transforms into Demonic Beasts, its original divine perception will also decrease significantly. It will be unable to provide any evidence as to whether the terrifying being who guards the Qian Heaven, as mentioned by the Trayastrimsa Spirit Lord, is dead.

"If that terrifying being is still alive, our Three Thousand Great Swamps' small force coming to attack Qian Tian is simply suicide."

The other surviving Demonic Beasts king also appeared.

It added, "Even if that terrifying being is truly dead, can you guarantee that he didn't leave behind any trump cards? Any trump cards that could deliver a fatal blow to the Demon Emperor or even the Emperor?"

"If we are the first to step into Qiantian, we will only run into the guns of those human forces in Qiantian. This is a mistake."

Another Demonic Beasts king emerged from the black dust, its expression filled with pain and fear. "I must return to the Three Thousand Great Swamps. Although Qian Tian has a large human population, with so many powerful cultivators, it is not something I, who has not yet transformed into a demon emperor, can easily covet. Even if I come again, I will have to wait until I have digested the humans raised in Cangshan and transformed into a demon emperor."

After saying this, the enormous Demonic Beasts king retreated unsteadily towards the Three Thousand Great Swamps.

Hearing its words, many Demonic Beasts kings also awoke from the temptations of the nine hundred million humans in the Qian Heaven Realm.

He glanced in awe at the distant battlefield, now a sea of fire, and quickly left.

Without the Demonic Beasts Emperor, the Demonic Beasts King represents the supreme will of the three thousand Demonic Beasts of the Great Swamp.

These Demonic Beasts kings, representing the highest will of Demonic Beasts, clearly lacked the confidence to confront a terrifying being capable of unleashing an attack comparable to that of Demonic Beasts emperor...

No!

Let alone a being capable of unleashing a terrifying attack comparable to that of Demonic Beasts emperor, even a being capable of sweeping across Muzhou and slaying the nine great Demonic Beasts kings, including the Trayastrimsa Spirit Lord, would not inspire them to confront it.

If they really fight...

They might be able to defeat the human army of Muzhou, but these Demonic Beasts kings who are their leaders will definitely be killed one by one by that human celestial emperor who drives the terrifying war Spirit Artifact.

The more powerful Demonic Beasts, the harder it is to control it with instinct.

Should they return to the Three Thousand Great Swamps to continue their peaceful lives, or risk their lives to attack Qian Tian?

Any intelligent being can make the right choice.

Moreover...

This battle resulted in the loss of three Demonic Beasts kings and more than a dozen Demonic Beasts kings. Their deaths would inevitably vacate a large number of cities, which would then be divided up, and the number of creatures kept in their territories would surely double.

Under these circumstances, why continue to fight to the death with the powerful Qian Tian?

In an instant, many Demonic Beasts kings withdrew.

The Demonic Beasts King's retreat naturally triggered the retreat of the great Demonic Beasts. In an instant, the originally surging Demonic Beasts stopped abruptly, like a tsunami intercepted by a nuclear explosion, and quickly flowed back.

This scene was immediately noticed by the human cultivators.

Sensing the receding presence of the flames on the other side of the inferno, Lu Zhanxian couldn't help but shout, "They've retreated!? The Demonic Beasts have retreated!?"

"They retreated!? The Demonic Beasts... were driven back by us!?"

"It wasn't us, it was the Ancient Palace Master! The Demonic Beasts were repelled by the Ancient Palace Master's great Divine Ability!"

Zhou Yi, Zhang Lihuo, Leng Ningshuang, and Hongye, who had just joined the Lingxiao Palace family, were also somewhat excited.

"Go and check! We need to determine the Demonic Beasts' exact movements!"

Zhou Yi said something and suddenly flew forward in his Xuan Bird fighter jet.

Zhang Lihuo followed closely behind.

As their fighter jets flew across the inferno created by the nuclear explosion, they felt even more deeply the immense and overwhelming power of that attack, a power that had just Gu Jinlai.

Under such immense power, let alone the fact that the three-headed Demonic Beasts king is dead, even if there were still Demonic Beasts kings alive, they would have to consider the price they would have to pay to continue the fight.

For a moment, even though Zhou Yi and Zhang Lihuo were usually composed, they couldn't help but show their joy.

"We won! We won! We won!"
