Half an hour later.
Nether Province, Heavenly Demon Sect branch.
This underground stronghold was several times larger than the branch in Cloud Province. Its passageways stretched in all directions, twisting and interweaving like an ant nest.
But at this moment, the stronghold had already become a field of ruins.
Chen Xuan stood above the ruins, looking down at the collapsed ground below with a calm expression.
Behind him, thirty Martial Alliance prodigies were scattered about, clearing out the remaining Heavenly Demon Sect remnants.
"Senior Brother Chen, the Demon Martial Cultivators within the stronghold have all been eliminated." Shen Biyao flew forward and cupped her hands in report. "Three Grandmasters, twenty-seven Masters, and one hundred fifty-six Zhuqi Realm Demon Martial Cultivators have been slain."
"Mm." Chen Xuan nodded. "This matter is settled. Return to the Martial Alliance."
He turned into a streak of light and flew toward Central Province.
The thirty prodigies followed close behind.
At the same time, similar scenes unfolded across the twenty-three provinces of the world.
The Martial Alliance, True Martial Temple, Heaven-Controlling Sect, and Wuliang Mountain—the four great Seven-Star factions—joined forces to launch a full-scale purge against Heavenly Demon Sect strongholds in every province.
On this day, the Heavenly Demon Sect's publicly known strongholds, painstakingly cultivated over centuries, were almost uprooted entirely, and countless Demon Martial Cultivators were executed.
On this day, the world was shaken.
And as news spread of the destruction of Subduing Dragon Temple and the death of Heavenly Demon Sect Venerable Mo Yuan, the name "Chen Xuan" thoroughly shook the entire world.
Eighteen years old, in the Venerable Realm.
An Eighty-One-Turn Supreme Golden Core.
Mo Yuan, a Heavenly Demon Sect Venerable, killed in one move.
The Low-Grade Dao Artifact Black Dragon Sword shattered in one move.
