The Six Heavenly Demon Kings and the six old demons naturally could not make a great fanfare of their attempt to escape the vortex that Northern Julu Continent was about to become.
Instead, the six demons deliberately stirred up demons and monsters everywhere, putting on the appearance of leading everyone in resistance against the Demon-Quelling Army's grand array.
While they themselves slipped away in silence behind the scenes.
Across the land, the six demons' avatars led bands of demons and monsters in every region, either preparing to strike at the various marshals, or gathering together and drawing forth the resentful baleful energy buried deep beneath the earth, intending to form arrays of their own in resistance.
Only now did it become clear that, although in most tales and legends the Six Heavenly Demon Kings were merely villains beaten countless times by the Demon-Subduing Emperor, their strength truly could not be underestimated. To stand as the Emperor's opponents and be sung of for so many years was no small thing.
With their various obstructions, the speed at which the Demon-Quelling Army's grand array was being deployed was also disrupted.
Yet the Demon-Subduing Emperor was not concerned. The tide of destiny was on his side, and with the aid of the thirty-six marshals and five hundred spirit officials, sooner or later, he would be able to envelop the entirety of Northern Julu Continent and ensure that he could safely weather this demonic tribulation.
Within the golden hall, the Demon-Subduing Emperor said to the crowd, "The Six Heavenly Demon Kings' true capability does not lie in their personal strength.
It lies in their ability to seep through every crack and be everywhere at once, as well as their cautious and prudent nature.
They never stake all their trump cards in a single throw.
