The chilling voice of the Planar Spirit still echoed within the great formation, Yu Yuanchen and the other three had already unleashed an earth-shattering aura!

"The Thunder God Position, descend!"

Yu Yuanchen let out a long roar first, and a complex and profound Purple-Gold Lightning Divine Rune suddenly lit up between his brows, as if he had communicated with the supreme Thunder Law in the dark! A vast and majestic divine Divine Power, far more powerful than before, carrying the will of judgment and Destruction, poured down from the void and perfectly merged with his own Divine Essence!

Buzz--!

The Purple-Gold Lightning around him surged instantly, its color deepening, as if transforming into a liquid sea of lightning! His aura rose steadily, instantly breaking through the boundary of Third-level Deity and surging into the peak of Second-level Deity. His momentum did not diminish, and he finally stopped steadily at the terrifying level of barely touching the threshold of First-level God!

Although he couldn't fully unleash the power of the Thunder God Position because he hadn't fully inherited God Position, this brief fusion had already given him the qualifications to confront the Planar Spirit! Moreover, thanks to his solid foundation and profound understanding of the Thunder Law, this burden was still within his tolerance range and was enough to sustain him for several days!

"Angel God Position, possess me!"

Almost simultaneously, Qian Daoliu let out a low shout, and the six wings behind him completely transformed into pure Light Divine Power, while the Angel Sacred Sword in his hand erupted with holy light that pierced through the void.

A divine power carrying the meaning of Purification, order, and redemption descended, forcibly elevating his combat strength to the level of Second-level Deity! Although the duration was far shorter than that of Yu Yuanchen, the power it unleashed was equally astonishing!

"Roar! God Position of Destruction, activate!"

Tang Chen let out a thunderous Dragon Roar, for he was not following the elemental path, but rather the purest path of power.

A savage, domineering, and terrifying power, seemingly capable of shattering stars and the universe, awakened within him. His muscles swelled once more, and ancient, dark golden patterns appeared on his skin. His Blood Essence and qi burned like in a furnace, and his combat power soared to the Second-level Deity. The Clear Sky Hammer appeared in his hand, its shaft gleaming with Dark Gold Streamer, radiating a destructive force that sent chills down one's spine!

With the combined power of the three God Position, their auras surged forth, temporarily overpowering the overwhelming pressure of the Planar Spirit!

Gu Yuena, however, did not choose to activate her main body's power to enhance her combat strength. Her silver hair danced in the wind, and seven-colored light swirled in her purple eyes. Her hands formed a profound hand seal in front of her chest. An invisible and intangible primordial pressure, yet surpassing ordinary laws, spread out from her center!

"Elements... stripped away!"

Her cold voice was like a law. In an instant, the elements of heaven and earth Planar Spirit of the Plane, which were originally under his complete control, seemed to encounter a supreme monarch, becoming sluggish, chaotic, and even showing a faint tendency to break away from his control!

"What?!" The Planar Spirit finally changed. One of his greatest advantages was his absolute control over the Earth Element as the Planar Spirit! But at this moment, Gu Yuena, relying on the Silver Dragon King's supreme power over the Elemental Origin, was actually forcibly competing with him for control of the elements!

Although it couldn't be completely stripped away, the efficiency and power of the Planar Spirit's ability to mobilize elemental forces to launch attacks were instantly reduced! His habitually condensed law attacks, before they could even fully take shape, were reduced in power by more than 30% due to elemental disorder!

"Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder, fall!"

The Planar Spirit was both shocked and enraged, and immediately changed its strategy, invoking the Plane Law to summon countless terrifying Heavenly Thunder, as thick as mountains and of various colors, which rained down on Yu Yuanchen and his companions like a storm! This was the judgment of the Plane Will, containing the true meaning of Destruction and calamity!

However, facing this heavenly punishment lightning that was enough to make ordinary Spirit-level Expert turn pale, Yu Yuanchen merely snorted coldly and did not even move a step.

The Purple-Gold Lightning flowing around him rippled slightly. When the violently falling Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder came within a hundred feet of him, it became as docile as a subject meeting an emperor, and even actively merged into the Sea of Thunder around him, thus enhancing his aura.

"Showing off one's skill before an expert," Yu Yuanchen said calmly. As the inheritor of the Thunder God's Godhood Inheritance, he wielded the Thunder Authority. Unless it was Godhood Tribulation as ordained by the rules of the universe, or the primordial divine thunder triggered by God King Level being, the Tribulation Lightning of lower planes was nothing more than a supplement to him!

The two most common and basic methods used by the Planar Spirit —elemental control and Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder —were almost completely neutralized by the combined efforts of Yu Yuanchen and Gu Yuena in the blink of an eye!

"Damn it!" The face of the plane spirit was distorted, and its kind appearance could not be maintained at all, revealing its ferocious nature. He did not expect that these foreign gods would be so difficult to deal with, and their methods were specially designed to restrain him!

"It seems I have no choice but to go all out!" A ruthless glint flashed in the Planar Spirit's eyes, and it pressed its hands sharply against its chest!

Buzz--!

An ancient, imposing figure, seemingly bearing the weight of the entire universe, slowly emerged from his body. It was an ancient cauldron with three legs and two handles, its entire body displaying a chaotic hue! The cauldron was engraved with patterns of mountains and rivers, the sun, Sun, Moon, and Stars, plants, insects, and fish, radiating boundless and immense pressure. Its grade was clearly that of a Super Divine Artifact!

The Heavenly Dao Cauldron! Super Divine Artifact born from the Planar Spirit combining its own body with the origin of the Saint Demon Continent, combining offense and defense, its power is in no way inferior to the Heaven-Defying Dragon Pillar!

The Planar Spirit was originally just a spirit furnace nurtured by the Saint Demon Continent (spirit furnaces are unique Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of the Saint Demon Continent; see <The God Seal Throne> for details). Named the Heavenly Dao Spirit Furnace, it was of extremely high grade and possessed the ability to communicate with the Plane Law. Over the long years of nurturing, it gradually gained sentience, and after its successful formation, it even developed a faint intelligence.

Later, the spirit furnace was discovered by a seventh-level human expert who wanted to refine him. Although the spirit furnace's intelligence was weak, it instinctively resisted the refinement and used its ability to communicate with the Plane Law. However, perhaps because this human expert was already nearing the end of his life and was in poor condition, the human expert was accidentally destroyed by the Plane Law.

Although the majority of the benefits gained from the Dao Transformation were Plane Law of the planes, the Heavenly Dao Spirit Furnace also received some benefits, with its intelligence being enhanced.

However, this calamity gave the Heavenly Dao Spirit Furnace a taste of success, and it began to actively lure some powerful individuals to refine it. These individuals were then transformed into Dao by the same methods, causing the Heavenly Dao Spiritual Furnace to become increasingly intelligent and evolve itself, becoming a true Intelligent Spirit Furnace.

However, he could not make any further progress, because even if an eighth-tier expert reached the Dao Transformation stage, it would not bring him much benefit. So he could only try to seduce a ninth-tier expert.

The first time he encountered a ninth-level Dao Transformation expert, the process was extremely dangerous, and he almost failed. Fortunately, the ninth-level expert he chose was from one of the weaker groups among the ninth-level experts, and he succeeded without any major incident.

From then on, his furnace life took off smoothly. After transforming into many powerful beings, he evolved again and could be considered a Spirit-level Spirit Furnace. He could control the Plane Law, and thus he gradually gained control of the Plane Origin that originally had no consciousness, becoming the Planar Spirit of the Saint Demon Continent. From then on, he could also reap all the benefits generated by the transformation of powerful beings.

Moreover, at this point, he no longer valued the benefits brought by ordinary strong cultivators reaching the Dao level. Since the cultivation system on the Saint Demon Continent was relatively rudimentary at the time, with most cultivators only able to reach the ninth rank at most, he directly used the permission of the Planar Spirit to improve these cultivation systems and pass them down, thus creating a path to God Level on the Saint Demon Continent.

People are unaware that this path is merely Planar Spirit to cultivate resources.

In contrast, Yu Yuanchen and his two companions were clearly at a disadvantage in terms of divine artifacts.

Qian Daoliu's Angel Sacred Sword is a primary divine artifact (First-level God) passed down from the previous Angel God; Tang Chen's Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul also transformed into a Second-level Deity after reaching level 100, but its power in Tang Chen's hands is no weaker than that of a First-level God; Yu Yuanchen's Thunder Dragon Spear, in recent years, has reached the peak level of Second-level Deity due to the nurturing of its Thunder Divine Essence, which is comparable to the power of Second-level Deity.

"Suppress!"

The Heavenly Dao Cauldron swelled in the wind, instantly transforming into a colossal cauldron ten thousand feet tall. Carrying the heavy will of the entire plane, it fiercely suppressed Yu Yuanchen and his companions, along with the Ten Lands Nine Heavens God Annihilation Array below! Chaotic energy flowed down from the cauldron's mouth, freezing space and shattering laws wherever it passed!

"Don't even think about it!"

Although Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu was severely injured, his eyes were bloodshot with rage at the sight! He knew that if the cauldron were to fall completely, the great formation would surely break, and the Demon Race race would be in danger of annihilation in an instant!

"Heaven-Defying Dragon Pillar, Corona!"

"Moon Demon God Pillar, Radiant World!"

"Star Demon God Pillar, Celestial Cycle!"

Despite their injuries, Feng Xiu, Agares, and Vassago frantically burned their life essence, pushing the power of the three Super Divine Artifact Demon God Pillar to their limit.

The Heaven-Defying Dragon Pillar transformed into a ten-thousand-foot-tall demonic dragon, roaring as it soared into the Heavenly Dao Cauldron! The Moon Demon God Pillar showered down endless clear light, attempting to freeze the chaotic energy flowing through the cauldron! The Star Demon God Pillar evolved into the Celestial Cycle Star Dou Array, transforming into chains of billions of stars that Entanglement around the giant cauldron!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The collision between the Super Divine Artifact unleashed a world-destroying shockwave! The entire Ten Lands Nine Heavens God Annihilation Array shook violently, its light flickering erratically. Countless powerful Demon Race coughed up blood, and some weaker Demon God even exploded and died, turning into pure Demonic Energy that flowed into the Demon God Pillar, barely managing to keep the array from collapsing!

Take this opportunity!

Yu Yuanchen, Qian Daoliu, and Tang Chen made their move!

"Thunder Prison, Ten Thousand Dragons Paying Homage!"

Yu Yuanchen pointed his Thunder Dragon Spear straight at the sky, and billions of Purple-Gold Lightning transformed into countless roaring Thunder Dragon, crashing down on the Planar Spirit like a tidal wave! Each Thunder Dragon contained the True Meaning of Law of judgment and Destruction!

"Angel Judgment, Holy Light Verdict!"

With Qian Daoliu six wings, Qian Daoliu unleashed the Angel Sacred Sword, transforming it into an eternal pillar of light that tore through the darkness, carrying the will to Purification all the filth of the world, and locking onto the Planar Spirit!

"Great Sumeru Hammer, Destroying the Firmament!"

Tang Chen's attack was simple and brutal. He directly Explode Ring, pouring all his terrifying strength and the power of God Position of Destruction into the Clear Sky Hammer. His figure transformed into a Dark Gold Streamer, and he smashed out with the hammer. There were no fancy moves, only extreme power and destruction!

Faced with the combined attack of three powerful figures, and with a significant portion of its mind tied up by the Heavenly Dao Cauldron, the Planar Spirit finally fell into an unprecedented crisis!

He roared repeatedly, and the runes of law around his body flashed wildly, condensing into solid barriers. At the same time, he manipulated the Heavenly Dao Cauldron to divert some of its power to defend.

Boom boom boom boom--!!!

Terrifying explosions continued unabated, and energy storms swept across the entire array space. The defensive barriers of the Planar Spirit shattered and reformed repeatedly, its form swaying constantly amidst the frenzied attacks, and its aura began to show signs of instability!

This fierce battle lasted for more than half a month!

Within the Ten Lands Nine Heavens God Annihilation Array, it had long since transformed into a Chaos Forbidden Zone. The light of the Seventy-Two Demon God Pillars had dimmed to its extreme, and more than thirty of Demon God Pillar had completely fallen silent due to the fall of their hosts. The Demon Race population had been reduced by more than half due to the frenzied sacrifices! Corpses littered the fields, and demon blood stained the void red.

Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu, Agares, and Vassago were all severely injured and their auras were weak, barely holding on by sheer willpower. The Evil Emperor's Divine Body was also dim, clearly indicating a huge expenditure of energy.

Yu Yuanchen, Qian Daoliu, and Tang Chen were all covered in blood and riddled with wounds. Qian Daoliu's Angel Sacred Sword had developed minor cracks, and Tang Chen's Clear Sky Hammer was riddled with nicks. Although Yu Yuanchen's Thunder Dragon Spear was intact, his face was pale, clearly indicating a significant depletion of his Divine Power. Only Gu Yuena, thanks to the Silver Dragon King's essence and her exquisite control over the elements, had the lightest injuries, but her expression was still very grave.

The Planar Spirit fared even worse; its manifested form was covered in cracks, its aura had plummeted to the level of Second-level Deity, and several clear cracks had appeared on the Heavenly Dao Cauldron, its radiance dimmed.

"That's about enough..." Yu Yuanchen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. He knew he couldn't delay any longer; he had to finish the job with one decisive blow!

He took a deep breath, concentrating all his remaining divine power and his understanding of the laws of thunder onto the Thunder Dragon Spear. The purple-gold lightning on the spear was no longer violent, but transformed into an extreme of concentration and restraint, as if it contained a wisp of innate thunder origin from the creation of the world!

At the same time, the Thunder God Divine Rune between his eyebrows burst forth with unprecedented light, faintly resonating with the Thunder Great Dao in the darkness!

"With my Divine Essence, I pierce through the heavens!"

"A single thought... pierces the heavens!"

This move is Divine Skill created by Yu Yuanchen himself.

Based on the ultimate unity of the user's essence, energy, and spirit, one forges their own will into an invincible sharpness and infuses it into the Thunder Dragon Spear.

When the spear is drawn, it stirs up thunder from the heavens. Wherever the spear's light passes, the Space Law tremble and all barriers against evil collapse. The power of this technique is directly proportional to the strength of the user's will. The purer and more resolute the will, the stronger the penetrating and destructive power of the spear. It can even pierce through the opponent's will defense with a single, unwavering thought, leading to the annihilation of the enemy's will.

Yu Yuanchen let out a low roar and hurled the Thunder Dragon Spear!

This shot, without any grand display of power or apparent speed, seemed to freeze space, time, and even all laws wherever it passed! The spear tip pointed only at that condensed, Purple-Gold lightning bolt, representing judgment and finality!

The Planar Spirit's pupils contracted to their maximum. He sensed a true threat of death from that single shot! He roared madly, attempting to recall the Heavenly Dao Cauldron and burn his own essence to condense a defense!

But it was too late.

Pfft--!

Like a hot knife through butter, the Purple-Gold lightning easily pierced through all the defenses hastily erected by the Planar Spirit, precisely striking the core of his manifested form!

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

The Planar Spirit froze, its expression of ferocity, anger, and resentment completely solidified. It looked down at the ever-expanding Purple-Gold Lightning on its chest, its eyes filled with disbelief.

"No... it's impossible... I am... from... a different plane..."

Before he could finish speaking...

Boom--!!!

The manifestation of the Planar Spirit shattered! It transformed into the purest primordial light points, falling like stardust in all directions! The largest and most dazzling primordial light point was collected by Yu Yuanchen with a wave of his hand, as he had anticipated.

The Planar Spirit the Saint Demon Continent has fallen!

The great battle has finally come to an end.

A deathly silence enveloped the broken space of the grand formation.

The surviving Demon Race warriors stared blankly at everything before them, as if they couldn't believe that this nightmare was over.

Thump!

Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu could no longer hold on and knelt on one knee, barely managing to stay upright by using the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Sword as a support. Moon Demon God Agares and Star Demon God Vassago also collapsed to the ground almost simultaneously, their breaths weak.

Yu Yuanchen and the other three breathed a sigh of relief, each taking out a pill to stabilize their injuries.

Feng Xiu raised his head, his blood-stained face filled with complex emotions. He looked at Yu Yuanchen, whose breath was weak but whose eyes were still sharp, and then at the dead and wounded clansmen behind him. A deep weariness and regret flashed in his eyes.

He knew that the Demon Race... was doomed. After this battle, the Demon Race Origin Qi and would not be able to recover for thousands of years. And these extraterrestrial gods would never let go of the Demon Race Clan's accumulated wealth and those Seventy-Two Demon God Pillars.

He struggled to his feet, his gaze sweeping over the equally wounded and dying Agares and Vassago, a resolute glint in his eyes.

"Yu Yuanchen..." Feng Xiu's voice was hoarse and weak, "My Demon Race... surrenders."

Yu Yuanchen looked at him calmly without saying a word.

Feng Xiu continued, "All grudges originated with me. I am willing to bear the consequences... I only beg you... to spare my Demon Race people and preserve a trace of my bloodline... Di Tian promised..."

As he spoke, his gaze fell upon Di Tian, who had appeared behind Yu Yuanchen at some point. Di Tian nodded slightly.

Yu Yuanchen remained silent for a moment, then slowly said, "The bloodline of the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Clan can be preserved. The Demon Race must submit."

Upon hearing this, Feng Xiu's face revealed a bittersweet yet relieved smile. This outcome was better than he had anticipated.

"Alright... I promise you." He took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly gleaming with a final burst of light. "Agares! Vassago! The Demon Race ... I entrust them to you from now on! Obey... His Yu Yuanchen's arrangements!"

Before he finished speaking, Feng Xiu suddenly ignited the last of his Life Origin and soul power! A surge of Life Force mixed with the pure power of the Dragon Bloodline rushed into Agares and Vassago's bodies like a tide!

"Brother! No!" Agares and Vassago were horrified and tried to stop them, but they were powerless to move.

Under the infusion of this power, the two men's near-death injuries stabilized and recovered at a visible speed. Although their breathing was still weak, their lives were no longer in danger.

Meanwhile, the figure of Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu gradually became transparent amidst the burning source, eventually transforming into specks of light that completely dissipated into the world. Only the Heaven-Defying Dragon Pillar let out a mournful Dragon Roar, its light completely receding as if it had fallen into a deep sleep.

The Demon Race Emperor Feng Xiu, a Demon God Emperor, has fallen!

Agares and Vassago knelt on the ground, tears welling in their eyes, and kowtowed heavily in the direction where Feng Xiu had disappeared. The surviving Demon Race warriors also knelt down, their cries of grief filling the air.

Yu Yuanchen watched this scene with a calm and unwavering gaze. The victor is king, the loser is villain; such has always been the way of things. He waved his hand to put away the Heaven-Defying Dragon Pillar, his gaze sweeping over the remaining Demon Race.

"Clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded. Moon Demon God, Star Demon God, reorganize the Demon Race and await further orders."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority that resonated throughout the entire space.

The storm has subsided, the emperor has fallen, and a new order is about to be established on this ravaged continent.

The era belonging to Yu Yuanchen has officially begun.
