Human Race Expands! Hunting the Demon Race!

Ye Xuan held the Human Emperor Seal in his hand, bowed deeply toward the direction of the Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, and spoke in a clear voice that rang across heaven and earth:

"Ye Xuan thanks the Holy Mother for bestowing this treasure!"

Below, countless humans, upon seeing this, were even more stirred, falling to their knees and shouting.

"We bow in thanks to the Holy Mother!"

"Long live the Human Emperor!"

Ye Xuan straightened up, stored the Kongtong Seal within his body, and suppressed it above the Life Spring in the Sea of Suffering.

At this moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of solidity.

He had strength now—his Great Emperor Realm physical body rivaled a Golden Immortal.

He had foundation now—the Human Body Secret Realm Method had spread throughout the entire race.

He had authority now—the Kongtong Seal suppressed their destiny.

"Since that's the case..."

Ye Xuan turned around, his gaze passing over the crowd to the gloomy dense forest beyond the valley.

There, demonic aura surged to the heavens.

There, countless greedy eyes stared at the humans like venomous snakes.

A cold, bloodthirsty curve slowly crept onto the corner of Ye Xuan's mouth.

"Pass on my decree."

Ye Xuan's voice was no longer gentle but filled with the clashing steel and killing intent of war.

"Humanity, expand!"

"On this Primordial Wilderness, it's time for humanity to claim a place of its own."

"Go, and with your fists, tell those beasts out there."

"The roles of hunter and prey... from today, are swapped!"

Outside the valley, within the dense forest.

A Black Panther Demon, three zhang long and pitch-black all over, was lazily sprawled atop a massive boulder.

He was the Patrol Captain of this area, with a cultivation at the late Earth Immortal Realm, commanding several hundred lesser demons under him.

"Great King, that Sage's might from the human valley seems to have completely dissipated," a Tanuki Demon said, sidling up with a fawning expression, drool nearly dripping from his mouth.

"Should we make our move? This lowly one has been craving human flesh for ages—so tender and delicate."

The Black Panther Demon opened his eyes, licked his claws, and let out a sinister grin.

"What's the rush?"

"Those humans are just lambs waiting to be slaughtered. They can't escape."

"But since the Sage's might is gone, it's time to reap the harvest. This time, I'll capture a thousand live humans and offer them to the Great King as a birthday gift!"

"Little ones! Grab your weapons! Time to eat!"

At the Black Panther Demon's command, the surrounding forest erupted with countless wails and howls.

Hundreds of grotesque lesser demons, brandishing bone clubs and iron forks, charged howling toward the human valley.

In their eyes, this was nothing but a one-sided slaughter and feast.

But then.

Just as they burst out of the dense forest, before they could even see what lay ahead—

"Boom!"

The ground suddenly trembled.

A terrifying blood aura, like a torrent of steel, slammed into them head-on!

At the valley's entrance, a human army surged forth.

No magic treasures, no mounts.

But every single one of these humans was bare-chested, their muscles bulging like granite, eyes bloodshot, and the heat radiating from their bodies twisted the surrounding air.

Leading them was a youth, no more than fifteen or sixteen, seemingly young and tender, but a great dragon on his spine was glowing—an omen of the Dragon Transformation Realm!

"Are those... humans?"

A Tiger Demon at the front froze.

In his memory, humans were weaklings who went weak in the knees at the sight of demons, only capable of crying and begging for mercy.

But this group...

How could his gaze be even more vicious than when it looked at its prey?

"KILL!!!"

That youth from the Dragon Transformation Realm roared, stomping his foot hard against the ground.

"Boom!"

A massive crater exploded in the earth.

His entire body shot out like a cannonball, crossing several li in an instant and appearing before the Tiger Demon.

"Roar?"

The Tiger Demon instinctively swung its enormous claw, trying to swat this reckless brat to death.

But.

The youth neither dodged nor blocked. He reached out with both hands and grabbed the Tiger Demon's two front paws.

"Open... for your daddy!"

The youth's arms bulged with veins, golden blood energy blazing like fire.

"Rip--"

A sickening sound of tearing cloth rang out.

Under the terrified gazes of the demons, that Tiger Demon, renowned for its strength, was literally torn in half by this youth!

Blood splattered, entrails spilled across the ground.

"Th-this... how is this possible?!"

The Black Panther Demon leaped up from the rock, its eyes nearly popping out.

Was this still a human?

This was a primordial Fierce Beast wearing human skin!

"Damn it! Something's off! Little ones, get them! Blast them with spells!"

The Black Panther Demon roared, blustering but trembling inside.

But the next second.

A fiery-red figure appeared before it.

It was Suiren Shi.

He didn't use any Great Emperor divine abilities. He simply looked calmly at this Black Panther Demon that had once filled him with fear.

"You... what do you want? I'm a subordinate of the Black Wind Demon King!"

The Black Panther Demon felt the unfathomable aura radiating from Suiren Shi, its fur standing on end as it backed away step by step.

"Demon King?"

Suiren Shi sneered.

He extended a finger, and a tiny orange-red flame danced on its tip.

It was the human race's kindling fire, and also the sky-burning flame.

"Even if your Demon Emperor came today, he couldn't save you."

He flicked his finger.

"Whoosh!"

The flame landed on the Black Panther Demon.

No scream.

This Demonic Beast at the late Earth Immortal Realm, without even spitting out its demon core, instantly turned into a pile of human-shaped charcoal. A gust of wind blew, and it scattered.

"The captain is dead!"

"Run! Humans are eating demons!"

The remaining lesser demons saw this, their souls fleeing in terror. Where was their earlier arrogance?

Each wished they could grow two more legs as they turned and dove deep into the dense forest.

"Want to run?"

"Did you ask our sticks first?!"

The human army swept in and slaughtered.

This was a completely one-sided massacre.

Those lesser demons that usually threw their weight around were as fragile as paper before the humans who had cultivated the Human Body Secret Realm Method.

One clash, and they were blown apart.

Night fell.

Outside the human valley, a massive bonfire blazed.

This time, the fuel was not ordinary firewood, but the bones of Demonic Beasts.

Roasting on the racks were Tiger Demon thighs and Wolf Demon ribs.

The aroma filled the air.

"Hahaha! What a thrill! What a thrill!"

The youth who had torn apart a Tiger Demon with his bare hands was now riding atop a tamed Wild Boar Demon, clutching a golden-roasted leopard leg in his grip. He tore into it with big bites, grease smeared across his mouth.

The rest of his clan were the same.

The Demonic Beasts that had once been nightmares were now food in their bellies and mounts beneath them.

Ye Xuan sat on a high vantage point, watching the scene, the Kongtong Seal idly spinning in his hand.

The firelight flickered across his face, casting shifting shadows of light and dark.

"This is only the beginning," he murmured to himself.

The human race had bared its fangs.

Deep within the Primordial Wilderness, among towering peaks and ridges, there was a cave dwelling perpetually shrouded in black mist, known as the Black Wind Cave.

For a hundred thousand miles in every direction, this was the territory of the Black Wind Demon King.

Inside and outside the cave, demonic aura was thick and oppressive. Piles of bleached bones could be seen everywhere—some human, some from weaker Demonic Beasts. The air was thick with nauseating stench of blood and rot.

"Report—! Great King! Disaster has struck!"

A sharp-faced, monkey-like lesser demon stumbled into the depths of the cave, prostrating himself on the ground, trembling like a leaf in a gale.

Seated upon a throne built from piled bones was a towering great demon, over ten feet tall.

Black gales of Sha Qi coiled around his body, and a pair of green, gleaming eyes flickered in the darkness with a murderous light that promised to devour any who crossed him.

This was the overlord of a hundred thousand miles—the Black Wind Demon King, a cultivator at the late stage of the Golden Immortal Realm.

"What's the panic?"

The Black Wind Demon King's voice boomed like thunder, shaking loose gravel from the cave ceiling.

"Has the sky fallen or something?"

"R-re... reporting to the Great King!" the lesser demon stammered. "The Leopard Vanguard... the Leopard Vanguard was killed by the humans! Even his corpse... they roasted and ate him!"

"What?!"

The Black Wind Demon King shot to his feet. A terrifying pressure erupted instantly, blasting the messenger demon into a mist of blood.

That leopard demon was his brother-in-law, his most favored confidant.

He had only gone out on a routine patrol, and now he'd fallen to that flock of two-legged sheep?

"Humans... those weak blood meals dare to resist?"

The Black Wind Demon King laughed in fury, killing intent boiling in his eyes.

"Good! Very good!"

"It seems this king has been too lenient for too long, letting these two-legged sheep forget who truly rules this land!"

"Pass my command! Muster thirty thousand demon soldiers!"

A Black Tassel Spear materialized in the Black Wind Demon King's hand, its tip pointing to the sky, Sha Qi surging into the heavens.

"Today, this king will bathe the human valley in blood! I will flay every last human there and rip out their tendons—only then will my fury be quenched!"
