The Fall of the Demon Monarch

The Demon Gate trembled, and a huge, powerful demon stepped out.

The demon stood over thirty meters tall, its back covered in lava armor like a moving volcano. Behind it spread a pair of enormous black wings that seemed capable of blotting out the sky.

Hellfire coiled around its horns, while black smoke and skeletal remains swirled around its body, releasing eerie wails.

Yin Hongye looked up at it, his eyes utterly expressionless.

Just a greater demon comparable to a Super Douluo and close to the strength of a Limit Douluo?

The moment the demon arrived in this world, it shouted, "Hahaha! I've finally come to this world, a world full of living beings."

"As long as we devour enough, we can keep evolving. As long as we become stronger, we can open even more demon passages."

"Let this world tremble because of us and be destroyed beneath our feet."

The demon lowered its head toward Yin Hongye in the distance, flames burning within its lantern-sized eyes.

"Human, you were the one who killed my kin. You deserve to die!"

Yin Hongye raised his head, and a flash of blood-red light passed through his eyes. "Die!"

The demon froze for an instant.

Just as it was about to speak, sword light had already arrived.

Its body was sliced apart, and its head was severed.

Its lava armor shattered like biscuits, while blood gushed out like molten magma.

Yin Hongye coldly swept his gaze over the fallen demon, and the Blood Sea surged.

Yin Hongye stopped walking and tilted his head. He saw that the demon's head was still moving, still struggling.

It had forcibly withstood the assimilation of the Blood Sea.

Its vitality was terrifying, but it was not like the Abyss, where it could revive even after death.

The chunks of flesh in the Blood Sea began to move laboriously, like a swarm of worms searching for one another.

The head rolled toward the body, severed limbs crawled toward the torso, and minced flesh drew together like magnets, sizzling before finally fusing back into one.

"Regeneration? A little more troublesome than killing..." Yin Hongye did not care. With a flash of sword light, the demon's newly reassembled left leg turned into pieces again.

Yet that terrifying life force still continued to pulse.

The minced flesh swirled within the Blood Sea like porridge in a boiling pot, sizzling and bubbling as it drew together, trying to reform.

Yin Hongye did not bother thinking of another solution. Standing in the center of the Blood Sea, Red Lotus bloomed beneath his feet, one after another, like flowers blooming in hell, paving a path for him.

His domain suddenly expanded, and Red Lotus Karmic Fire ignited across the Blood Sea, flames that burned away all sin and karma.

The demon's body was immediately swallowed by the flames.

The chunks of flesh sizzled within the fire before finally turning to ash.

"Boring tricks." Yin Hongye's twin swords ignited as he looked toward the distant Demon Gate and walked toward it step by step.

One step, a hundred kills was no longer enough to describe Yin Hongye. His Soul Power was also accumulating at a rapid pace.

Beyond the heavenly curtain, Qian Daoliu finally understood the demons' goal. Creatures from other worlds wanted to devour the living beings of Douluo Continent.

"A threat from another world? It still isn't safe to simply throw Fallen Angel Martial Soul users into Slaughter City."

He directly told Qian Jun and Jiang Mo, "Pass down the order. From now on, any fallen Soul Master with a Fallen Angel Martial Soul is to be killed without mercy."

"Yes." The two nodded, utterly indifferent to it.

The ordinary people of Douluo Continent who had not yet gone to sleep all dropped to their knees when they saw those terrifying demons.

They began praying for the Angel God's protection, while everyone within the range of Sea God Island prayed to the Sea God.

The two main faith systems of Douluo Continent gathered faith power as never before.

The names "Angel God" and "Sea God" resounded incomparably loudly.

Sure enough, only when there was an external threat would these people unite.

Bibi Dong also noticed that summoning demons seemed to grant the angel family more power. It was not worth allowing them to control it...

Within the heavenly curtain, Yuanen Zhentian had his second son notify the nearby Shrek Academy and request reinforcements.

Mu Hongchen was speechless. Why did these people only know to call Shrek Academy? They had all gone to Shrek City. Wouldn't that summon everyone?

"Don't just call Shrek Academy. First, go to the Tang Sect and tell Red Lotus Douluo that he'll soon lose his chance to repay his debts. Then go to the Spirit Pagoda and say there are new Soul Beasts here. Finally, go to Shrek Academy and say there are evil Soul Masters."

Yuanen Zhentian's second son was full of question marks. What kind of method was that for calling people? But after thinking it over, he felt there should not be any problem.

Still, he flew toward Shrek City at top speed to request reinforcements, though there was really no need.

Mu Hongchen rummaged through his storage Soul Tool. He had somehow used up all his ninth-grade fixed-installation Soul Tools. If he had known, he would have grabbed some from the Central Legion before leaving.

"Damn it, I only brought a tiny billion eighth-grade fixed-installation soul cannons. I wonder if they'll be enough."

His words were full of regret, the regret of not bringing ninth-grade fixed-installation soul cannons when going out.

The next moment, he joined the battle as well. The seventh Soul Ring beneath his feet activated, transforming him into a Three-Legged Golden Toad. Metal cannon barrels emerged behind him as eighth-grade fixed-installation soul cannons were loaded and fired one after another.

Yuanen Zhentian also led his clansmen to deal with the remaining demons in the air. With Yin Hongye's domain present, those demons could not fly beyond the valley.

At the center of the battlefield, Yin Hongye finally faced a demon at the level of a Limit Douluo.

That demon should have been a monarch of the Demon Plane. It somewhat resembled the purple-gold greater demon from the original work. It stood over thirty meters tall, its entire body covered in purple-gold scales. The pair of long horns on its head were each three meters long, curved like blades, yet its appearance closely resembled that of a human, with distinct features.

A pair of massive condensed wings spread from its back, and it held a purple-gold flaming greatsword. The blade was over thirty meters long, with lava flowing along its edge.

The entire Douluo Plane was rejecting it, suppressing its strength.

"Human, you actually killed my vanguard general."

Yin Hongye did not care. "So I killed him. You'll die too!"

The Demon Monarch did not waste words. Its greatsword cleaved down from above, like heavenly thunder crashing to earth. Lava poured from the blade's edge, converging into a waterfall and smashing toward Yin Hongye.

Yin Hongye raised his twin swords and crossed them above his head. Azure and crimson light intertwined into an arc. The greatsword crashed against it as two laws tore at one another.

At the same time, two greater demons attacked Yin Hongye. Their claws pierced his skin, but karmic fire ignited across their bodies, and they let out agonized howls.

Yet in the blink of an eye, the flames reformed, and Yin Hongye completely recovered. His body was filled with karmic fire. He possessed an undying body.

In an instant, a circular shockwave exploded outward, drowning the two greater demons. Yin Hongye retreated several steps, the blood-red light in his eyes growing even stronger.

"Is that all the strength you have? Your level is truly too low!"

The Demon Monarch was clearly stunned. It had obviously not expected its strength to be blocked by a human who appeared far weaker than itself.

"Since you won't make a move, then it's my turn. Don't blame me for not giving you a chance."

The instant Yin Hongye's words fell, the entire Blood Sea surged like a living beast, blood rushing toward the Demon Monarch from every direction.

The waves of blood condensed in the air, transforming into enormous dragons. Nine dragons formed from fresh blood, their scales, claws, fangs, and whiskers lifelike.

They rose from the Blood Sea, their bodies snake-like as they leaped upward before diving down. The nine blood dragons bit toward the Demon Monarch at once, like nine locks sealing its ability to move.

The Demon Monarch tried to flee, but it could not escape at all.

Yin Hongye's ninth Soul Ring lit up once more. The character for Kill formed in the void, containing pure killing intent.

Blood light surged to the heavens, and killing intent pierced the sky.

The moment the character for Kill appeared, everyone was stunned by that pure killing intent—whether it was Qian Renxue in the sky with her Angel Domain deployed, or Mu Hongchen, Yuanen Zhentian, and the others attacking demons on the ground.

"Kill!"

Yin Hongye spoke coldly. The character for Kill shot forth, piercing through the Demon Monarch's chest like a poisoned arrow.

The Demon Monarch raised its sword to block, but the attack passed through its body. Purple-gold blood flowed from its chest.

Its body tried to heal, but the killing intent clinging to the wound prevented it from closing and instantly began eroding its body.

A generation of Demon Monarchs fell just like that.
