Although the Demon Emperor repelled their attacks again and again.
These creatures clung to him like stubborn medicinal plasters, refusing to leave.
Eventually, the Demon Emperor realized that rather than waste his time fighting them here, he might as well trap them.
So the Demon Emperor confined them within an Illusion Formation.
The creatures immediately lost the ability to resist.
Looking at them, the Demon Emperor could not understand it. They were not particularly strong fighters, so why could he not kill them?
The first thing he thought of was soul power.
Perhaps only by destroying their soul power could he wipe these creatures out.
A flame appeared in the Demon Emperor's hand.
It was Hellfire that could burn souls-Karmic Fire.
The Demon Emperor began burning the creatures with Karmic Fire, and they immediately howled in agony.
Each of them tried to escape the illusory realm.
Unfortunately, they shrank smaller and smaller beneath the Karmic Fire until they became wisps of smoke and finally vanished without a trace.
The Demon Emperor looked at the people of the Primordial World. "It seems we no longer need to fear these things. Karmic Fire is quite effective at burning souls."
"All those who can wield Karmic Fire, step forward. From now on, you will be responsible for dealing with these creatures."
They entered the Golden Region once again and began cultivating diligently.
For some time afterward.
Their surroundings remained perfectly quiet, and none of those wretched demons came to disturb them again.
Just as the Demon Emperor was concentrating on his cultivation, he suddenly sensed something unusual beside him.
He awakened from his secluded cultivation.
Turning his head, he saw a large golden cat wandering back and forth, passing through his body as though frolicking at play.
The Demon Emperor roughly recognized it.
