King of All Demons

The addition of Blade Demon Luo Zhenhai gave the group of Demons and Monsters more confidence. Most of the monsters had not yet achieved Humanoid Demon form, so their minds were simple; they did not consider whether Luo Zhenhai might rebel.

After losing his right arm, Luo Zhenhai had simply bandaged it. From start to finish, he never removed his bamboo hat, carrying his blade in his left hand as he followed at the very back of the main force.

After walking for a while, Su Yi, Nan Xiaopao, and the monsters saw many corpses.

There were all kinds of monsters, and the fresh blood had dyed the desert ahead red. It was clear they had not been dead for long.

They subconsciously turned their heads to look at Luo Zhenhai, who was following at the rear. It was definitely his doing.

Luo Zhenhai walked on, lost in his own thoughts. Because the bamboo hat obscured his face, the monsters could not see his expression.

There was no need to guess; his face was likely cold and stern.

"Just how strong is this guy?"

Purple-Backed Bear King was secretly shocked. His hostility toward Luo Zhenhai had diminished significantly, replaced by a sense of awe.

The other Humanoid Demons were also terrified, for many Humanoid Demons lay on the ground, yet Luo Zhenhai had remained unscathed before his battle with Su Yi.

For a time, the Humanoid Demons were filled with such reverence for Luo Zhenhai that they didn't even dare to harbor hostility.

Even though Luo Zhenhai had lost his right arm, he could still wield his blade.

About an hour passed, and they finally left the desert.

The road ahead was endless. Su Yi led the monsters across the land. It looked like a vast, mighty procession, but from the perspective of an eagle in the sky, they appeared so insignificant.

It was near dusk when they finally reached the edge of a great river.

The river was murky and over a hundred meters wide. One could see neither the end nor the beginning. The current was turbulent, crashing against the reefs on both banks and sending spray flying everywhere.

"Let's rest here for now!"

Su Yi spoke. He was in no rush to continue the journey; they were already far away from the Qiling Land anyway.

While resting, he could also cultivate and seize every moment to grow stronger.

For some reason, he discovered a very strange phenomenon: the demon power gained by other monsters from absorbing demon cores was far inferior to his own. According to his estimates, for the same demon core, he absorbed more than five times the amount of demon power compared to the other monsters.

He had specifically inquired about it and learned that when most monsters absorbed demon cores, they could not digest the majority of it, eventually excreting it as waste. Even those who could digest it would have the energy leak out through their pores and breath.

A situation like Su Yi's was definitely due to a unique constitution.

He often wondered if he was born to cultivate as a demon.

"All of you, go find food."

Purple-Backed Bear King ordered the group of monsters. Almost every Humanoid Demon had their own subordinates. Although they all obeyed Su Yi, Su Yi did not forcibly strip them of their authority; how many troops one had depended on one's own capabilities.

Su Yi walked to Luo Zhenhai's side and sat down cross-legged.

"Have you met Xia Tianyi?"

Su Yi asked casually. Based on his judgment, the gap in strength between Luo Zhenhai and Xia Tianyi was immense. The last time he had witnessed the Divine Shadow Legion, Xia Tianyi's power had left him stunned to this day.

"I have."

Luo Zhenhai replied, his voice very calm.

"Do you know him?"

"I know him, but he doesn't know me."

"Don't set him as your goal. In the future, I will subdue him."

"Impossible. He is the Sword Saint, who broke into the Fierce Tang alone, his sword intent hanging in the heavens."

"What if I succeed?"

"Then I will be wholeheartedly loyal to you for the rest of my life."

"Just you wait."

Su Yi smiled slightly and stood up to leave.

Luo Zhenhai looked up, gazing at Su Yi's back, lost in thought.

Of course, he didn't believe Su Yi's boastful words. Although Su Yi was strong, he was more than a notch or two below the Sword Saint.

Little did he know, Su Yi held the exact same evaluation of him.

After the conversation, Su Yi felt he had brought the little fanboy of Xia Tianyi one step closer.

Returning to Nan Xiaopao's side, Su Yi continued to refine demon cores.

He strove for the day when he could utterly crush Luo Zhenhai, or even Xia Tianyi, without relying on Feng Long.

After resting for a while, Luo Zhenhai began to practice his blade. Wielding it with his left hand by the river, his strikes remained sharp, drawing gasps of amazement from the other monsters.

"Once I surpass you, I will leave you!"

Luo Zhenhai swore in his heart, while also wanting to see how Su Yi usually cultivated.

Just like that, another four days passed.

They finally arrived at the blessed land that King Aisha had mentioned.

They saw that on the vast, boundless grassland, at the intersection of heaven and earth, stood three mountain peaks. They rose from the earth like a trident, wreathed in clouds and mist, appearing like a mirage from afar.

"The spiritual energy here is so dense!"

The Grey Rock Dog King exclaimed in pleasant surprise, and the other Demons and Monsters cheered as well.

In four days, the number of Demons and Monsters had not only failed to decrease but had grown to ten thousand; at the same time, Su Yi had subdued another Humanoid Demon.

"There is a Great Demon on the mountain!"

Luo Zhenhai spoke coldly, like a bucket of cold water poured over the head of the Grey Rock Dog King.

Any monster that could be called a Great Demon by Luo Zhenhai was at least at the level of a Supernatural Demon King.

Su Yi stared at the mountain ahead and said, "This mountain, we are taking it!"

His voice was soft, yet it clearly reached the hearts of all the Demons and Monsters, carrying immense infectious power.

Domineering!

Nan Xiaopao felt no joy; instead, she frowned. She walked to Su Yi's side and whispered, "How about... we just forget it."

She had already successfully achieved the Qi-Surging Eight Meridians and entered the Spirit Sea Enlightenment realm. Furthermore, as a Qiling Holy Body, she was incredibly sensitive to danger.

Su Yi smiled at her slightly and said, "I can't have you running around everywhere with me forever; we need a home."

After saying this, Su Yi stepped forward, and the Zhouwu Sword appeared out of thin air in his right hand.

His back looked resolute.

Knowing there were tigers on the mountain, he insisted on heading toward the tiger's lair!

The Demons and Monsters were encouraged and followed one after another. Luo Zhenhai did the same, even pulling his famous blade from his storage ring.

The Purple-Backed Bear King took out his tusk club, and the Grey Rock Dog King, Red Sky Wing, Kui Savage Elephant, and other Humanoid Demons also drew their weapons.

With ten thousand demons following, Su Yi gripped the Zhouwu Sword tight, took a deep breath, and his eyes became incredibly firm.

He had to conquer this mountain!

In the vast Desolate Ancient, he had to have a place to call his own!

Not just for himself, but for Nan Xiaopao, and even more so for the ten thousand demons following behind him!

"Roar--"

A roar came from the Three Mountains ahead, filled with violence and killing intent; it was warning the enemy not to approach its territory.

Su Yi did not stop his pace; instead, he walked faster and faster.

The Demons and Monsters followed his lead, and not a single one fled or cringed.

With a boom!

A hulking figure descended from the Blessed Land Three Mountains, shattering the ground and kicking up rolling dust. Immediately after, countless lesser demons followed, falling like a rainstorm.

An aura even more terrifying than King Aisha erupted, raging toward Su Yi and his followers.

Luo Zhenhai gripped his blade tightly, and the other Humanoid Demons could not help but tremble, fear rising in their hearts.

Because this aura was simply too strong!

"My children, follow me, tread through blood and charge up!"

Su Yi shouted, immediately breaking into a sprint.

Seeing this, the Purple-Backed Bear King, the Grey Rock Dog King, and the other Humanoid Demons roared and followed closely behind Su Yi.

Ten thousand demons roared as they charged; an army of ten thousand, as powerful as a million-strong force!
