Stratagem and Scroll Country.
It had once been a nation renowned throughout the world for its scholars and their strategic wisdom, a must-visit destination for countless cultivators traveling to temper themselves. Not only had it been home to numerous cultivators, but it had also fostered an excellent atmosphere for exchanging cultivation insights, making it a sacred ground for discussing all manner of cultivation theories.
Moreover, its scenery had been breathtaking, with countless ancient buildings and historical sites, making it an ideal place for sightseeing and travel.
But now, Stratagem and Scroll Country had become a barren wasteland, with gray-black demonic qi mingled into the heaven and earth spiritual energy everywhere.
Occasionally, enormous demonic beasts or demonized cultivators could be seen moving about...
There were even demonic beast nests everywhere, along with gathering places where demonized cultivators sat in meditation.
The sudden rise of the Devil Race Army had begun in Stratagem and Scroll Country. Back then, it had taken less than three months for the entire nation to fall under the Devil Race's control...
After all, Stratagem and Scroll Country had prided itself on being a free nation. Though it had no shortage of cultivators, they had been nothing more than a tray of loose sand...
But that was all in the past, and it was not the point.
The point was that Stratagem and Scroll Country had now become the very heart of the Devil Race Army's territory...
An unimaginably enormous mountain in Stratagem and Scroll Country seethed with demonic qi, which surged like flames across the entire mountain. This was the Devil Race Army's headquarters, now known among the major sects as Demonic Flame Mountain.
Formation Pillars tens of thousands of feet tall had been erected all around Demonic Flame Mountain, radiating astonishing demonic qi and bloody light.
