The formation of the Demon-Slaying Army went quite smoothly. The Purple Sky Sect completed the recruitment of twenty thousand troops in just three days. Together with the Sun Moon Sect's twenty thousand, the Demon-Slaying Army's total strength had reached forty thousand.
Meanwhile, Liu Changxu sent a message to his wife and children far away on Azure Cloud Mountain, ordering them to immediately recruit ten thousand cultivators at the Golden Core stage or above to join the Demon-Slaying Army.
Five days later, his ten sons-Liu Fuyang, Liu Fuchao, Liu Fuhai, Liu Fule, Liu Fukkun, Liu Fusheng, Liu Fuhe, Liu Fucheng, Liu Fuxiong, and Liu Fuyu-arrived at the Purple Sky Sect with more than ten thousand cultivators who would join the Demon-Slaying Army. With that, the army's formation was officially complete.
On the morning of the tenth day, brilliant sunlight poured down, setting the Purple Sky Sect's vast sect plaza aglow.
Fifty thousand Demon-Slaying Army soldiers stood in orderly ranks, clad in golden battle armor. Like heavenly soldiers and generals descended to the mortal world, they waited solemnly for Liu Changxu's inspection. Their figures stood straight as pines, and each radiated a terrifying aura that proclaimed this army's extraordinary might.
Clad in golden treasure armor, Liu Changxu descended like an immortal deity from the heavens and landed steadily on the plaza's raised platform. His eyes blazed like torches, his keen gaze sweeping swiftly over the imposing army like a sharp sword. Tall and majestic, he exuded an inborn authority, like an Immortal Emperor descending from the heavens, inspiring involuntary reverence in all who saw him.
After a brief pause, Liu Changxu faced the Demon-Slaying Army and delivered a short but resounding speech. His voice rang out with the power of a great bell, echoing over the plaza and reaching every soldier's ears
