Divine Might Rages, the Spider Spirit's Righteous Aura

"Is this the place?"

The Spider Spirit suddenly came to a halt, sensing for some reason that the aura here was somewhat unusual.

Yet, it could not quite put its finger on what exactly was amiss.

It was merely a feeling.

"Big Sister, it is just ahead, not far now."

The Mountain Lord of Tiger Head Mountain had scarlet hues in his eyes, filled with bloodlust and ferocity.

In front of the Spider Spirit, he was but a younger brother.

But before the other demons in the vicinity of Cangmu Town, he was the sovereign of the Land of Demons!

He was one of the most terrifying great demons in this entire region!

"I feel like something is not right here."

The Spider Spirit frowned, scanning the surroundings with vigilance.

At this moment, they were riding a demonic cloud, flying above a stretch of towering ancient trees.

Once demons reached the Third Order, they were capable of riding demonic clouds to fly.

"Not right?"

The Mountain Lord was stunned; he sensed the area but felt no issues at all.

"Big Sister, with your strength, what kind of opponent could there possibly be around Cangmu Town?"

"At most, the Old Poison Snake of the Hundred Directions Marsh could barely put up a fight against you."

He felt this sister of his was being far too cautious.

Could it be that demons who frequented county towns were all this wary?

"This place..."

The Spider Spirit was about to say more when its eyelids suddenly twitched.

It saw a figure manifest out of thin air, indifferent eyes looking down upon it.

The individual wore golden ceremonial robes and a golden crown, hands clasped behind his back, his face devoid of expression.

Yet, merely seeing him caused its heart to feel as if it had stopped beating.

An unimaginably terrifying divine might descended, engulfing it completely.

Terror filled its eyes, and it wanted to turn and flee.

But it discovered that it could not even lift a single leg.

As the divine might pressed down, it felt like an insect trapped in amber, utterly unable to move!

A deity!

This is a deity!!

A truly existing deity!

Just by seeing him, it understood in its heart that this was a god!

It was no demon in disguise; although it had never encountered such vast and mighty divine power before, it simply knew that the other party was a true god!

Beside it—

The Mountain Lord of Tiger Head Mountain was also filled with terror, his body unable to move a single inch.

That divine might was too vast; with his Third Order lower-stage cultivation, he was like a mayfly trying to shake a tree, possessing no power to resist.

Regret filled his heart.

He regretted it so much his guts were turning green.

The deity here was a true deity!!

A god from the legends!

"Honored... Honored God... spare... this little... demon..."

"This little demon... is... from the Five Immortals Cave..."

The Spider Spirit spoke with immense fear and great difficulty.

It prayed incessantly in its heart, hoping the other party would spare its life for the sake of the Five Immortals Cave!

As for the Mountain Lord?

He lacked even the ability to speak.

Only his eyes were filled with a look of desperate pleading.

"Five Immortals Cave?"

"Tell This God about the situation in Xuan County."

Li Yue's expression was indifferent as he looked down at the Spider Spirit.

This was the reason he had stepped out of his Divine Domain to come here in person.

Of the two demons before him, one was a low-tier third-rank, not worth mentioning.

The other, however, possessed the cultivation of a high-tier third-rank; while it was nothing to him, it far exceeded the demons typically found around Cangmu Town.

He thought—

Perhaps it had come from Xuan County?

Now that he heard the other party mention the Five Immortals Cave, it was clear they were a demonic faction from Xuan County.

He currently did not understand the situation in Xuan County.

As for his subordinates, the Bee Queen and Bai Ruxue, one was hidden deep in the mountains and the other was only at the limit of the second rank; he estimated they did not know much either.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.

He needed to understand the factions and strength of Xuan County.

The Spider Spirit realized it could speak normally again. Suppressing the fear in its heart, it hurriedly opened its mouth:

"Esteemed Deity!"

"I come from the Five Immortals Cave. We have five lords, each of whom is a fourth-rank existence. Even within the scope of Xuan County, our Five Immortals Cave belongs to the top ten demonic factions!"

It stated its origins first, clearly laying out the strength of the Five Immortals Cave.

This was to apply pressure to the other party.

It was not some minor demon without a background; it was a demon with a significant history.

Although the pressure surrounding it was terrifying and the divine might was vast, it judged that this power should be within the fourth-rank category.

Therefore, it concluded—

The deity before it should also be at the fourth rank.

And since their Five Immortals Cave had five fourth-rank great demons, the other party would surely have to be wary.

As long as there was wariness, they would not dare to kill it!

"Within the scope of Xuan County, what is the cultivation of the strongest demon?"

Li Yue's voice remained indifferent.

He did not ask about the human race.

The strength of the human race was certainly much weaker than that of the demons.

"Heavenly Ape Mountain is the undisputed number one demonic faction. The Heavenly Ape Ancestor has already advanced to the limit of the fourth rank!"

"One of the lords from our Five Immortals Cave often goes to serve the Heavenly Ape Ancestor and has an excellent relationship with him."

The Spider Spirit answered immediately.

It brought up Heavenly Ape Mountain as well, terrified that the Five Immortals Cave alone would not be enough to hold this deity back.

Now, with the connection to the Heavenly Ape Ancestor, it felt that the other party would never dare to kill it, no matter what.

After all—

That was the Heavenly Ape Ancestor!

The strongest great demon in the Xuan County area, possessing the cultivation of a fourth-rank limit!

"Fourth-rank limit..."

"It seems there are quite a few fourth-rank demons in the Xuan County area."

Li Yue was lost in thought.

The other party's Five Immortals Cave, with five fourth-rank demons, only dared to claim a spot in the top ten.

Clearly, there were many more powerful demonic factions.

However—

It was only the fourth rank?

To him, what did a fourth-rank demon amount to?

Even at the fourth-rank limit, if they dared to step into the range of his jurisdiction, a casual divine art could annihilate them.

Even if they did not step into his jurisdiction.

Having the Temple Keeper Li Youming march to their doorstep and perform the Deity Invocation Art would still be enough to destroy them.

A Deity Invocation Art at one-third power of the Principal Ninth Rank could still easily slaughter a fourth-rank limit demon!

"Esteemed Deity..."

"May this small demon leave now?"

"Rest assured, Esteemed Deity. Once I return, I will immediately report this to our five lords. They will certainly come to visit you on an auspicious day."

"My five lords all enjoy making friends, and they are especially willing to befriend a deity such as yourself."

The Spider Spirit spoke in a subservient tone.

Beside her, the eyes of the Mountain Lord darted frantically, as if to say—

Big Sister!

Don't forget your Tiger Brother!

Take your Tiger Brother with you!

He was merely a demon with no background who, relying on a stroke of luck, had advanced to the third-rank lower stage and immediately established the Land of Demons.

He had dreamed that one day he would ascend to become a fourth-rank Great Demon, making the Land of Demons a major power within the region of Xuan County!

"Leave?"

Li Yue looked at the two demons before him with indifference:

"Man-eating demons, your sins are grave."

"Having entered the domain of This God, you still wish to live?"

A trace of lightning suffused his indifferent eyes.

Instantly—

A terrifying thunderous roar exploded within the minds of the Spider Spirit and the Tiger Spirit!

It was as if rolling thunder were booming!

Contained within the thunderous sound was an eruption of terrifying divine might!

The eyes of the third-rank lower stage Mountain Lord of Tiger Head Mountain bulged, his demon soul instantly shattered, and he died on the spot.

However, after the third-rank upper stage Spider Spirit let out a miserable shriek, a white light erupted from her body.

Within the white light, the phantoms of various human scholars appeared, actually joining forces to prop up a shield of Haoran Righteousness to block the rolling thunder, granting the Spider Spirit's demon soul a fleeting chance to cling to life.
