The Demon Race on the Barbarian Race's territory had been swept away. Black Impermanence did not linger and headed toward the southern border.
The closer he drew to the border, the denser the Yao Qi became.
Soon, he encountered the Demon Race's army.
"Commander, there are too many demons in their army. Do we strike now, or wait and watch?"
One of the vanguard commanders spoke calmly.
"The Demon Race-we fight the Demon Race to the death. Kill!"
As his voice fell, Black Impermanence charged straight out on the Three-Headed Dog of Hell.
Terrifying saintly might rolled in like black clouds.
"This is bad! A human expert!"
"Human, you're courting death!"
As they spoke, several Martial Kings soared into the air. Before a Saint, they were nothing but bubbles, annihilated in an instant.
Such a powerful existence instantly sent the demons into a panic.
"Human, you go too far! The warriors of our Demon Race are not yours to bully!"
With that, countless demon troops charged.
Their terrifying momentum surged forward like toppling mountains and overturning seas.
"Kill!"
Black and White Impermanence thrust a palm toward the sky. The Three-Headed Dog of Hell roared, and a terrifying sonic wave instantly wiped out a group of demonic beasts.
"All troops, hear my command! First, second, and third vanguards, attack from both flanks! Fourth, fifth, and sixth, follow me through the center! Everyone else, stand by!"
As Black Impermanence spoke, he cleared a path ahead.
Under the charge of the three vanguard commanders, the remaining thirty thousand troops inflicted devastating losses on the demons.
"Aah! Aah!"
"Damn humans! You're not human! You're not human!"
As they spoke, pits appeared all over the ground. The Hell Legion emerged straight from the earth, their bodies wrapped in flames, exposing chilling white bones.
"No!"
"Kill!"
The armies clashed, and the battle instantly became a one-sided crushing.
In no time, the demons had lost over a hundred thousand.
Just as the demons were suffering devastating losses, a terrifying presence emerged from a spatial rift.
"Human, you killed the subjects of us Wind and Thunder demonic beasts! You deserve death!"
As his voice fell, the might of wind and thunder came crushing down.
The saintly might of a Demon Saint blotted out the sky and sun, overturned the cosmos, and swept forward unstoppably.
"Hmph!"
Black Impermanence snorted coldly, and battle erupted in an instant.
Smack! Smack!
Clang! Clang!
"Human, you're nothing special! Before the flesh of our Demon Race, you're too weak, far too weak!"
As the Demon Saint spoke, he used no power at all, clashing with physical strength alone.
For a time, the two Demon Saints flashed like meteors, their collisions shaking the heavens every so often.
The sight made the armies stop attacking.
Both sides watched the scene.
"How many moves do you think Lord Demon Saint will need to take down that human scum?"
"Does that even need asking? Ten moves, of course?"
"Stop boasting. Can't you see they've already exchanged more than twenty moves?"
"The Demon Saint will win! Long live the Demon Race!"
The demonic beasts roared in boundless excitement, showing none of their earlier displeasure at being slaughtered.
It was as though the deaths of a few demons were of no consequence to them.
Even dying was an honor.
"Damn demons. They have no humanity at all. We were just slaughtering them, and they're already getting excited."
The Three-Headed Dog of Hell's expression was icy.
Then it ordered everyone to attack.
It kept watch on the shock waves from the battle between the two Saints.
The Hell Legion once again blazed with hellfire, their pressure terrifying. Wherever the flames passed, slaughter followed.
"Humans, you're despicable! Despicable skeletons!"
"Damn it, damn it! Are you devils from hell? Mommy, I want to go home!"
"I want to go home and sleep! Aah! Aah!"
All manner of cries intermingled as the great battle continued to erupt.
Black Impermanence likewise abandoned any further thoughts and took out the Soul-Hooking Hook.
"Demon Saint, this ends here."
With that, he hurled the Soul-Hooking Hook, instantly hooking the opponent's soul out.
"A mere Saint is far, far too weak before my Soul-Hooking Hook."
"No! You can't do this! You can't..."
The Wind and Thunder Demon Saint was killed outright before he could even fully display his abilities.
Once it was done, Black Impermanence tossed the Demon Saint's corpse straight to the Three-Headed Dog of Hell.
At the sight, it excitedly swallowed the corpse in one gulp.
Under everyone's shocked gazes, the Three-Headed Dog of Hell let out a roar.
Endless dark power radiated from its body, and in less than five minutes, its presence had grown considerably stronger.
"Thank you, Master."
Roar!
Watching this, Black Impermanence nodded.
Then he began a massacre.
Meanwhile, in the Wind and Thunder Demon Race's great hall.
"Damn humans! They've sent out such a powerful Saint right at the start. What should we do?"
"Third Elder, what are you afraid of? Don't forget, we're the Demon Race. Our Wind and Thunder clan isn't the only one invading the human world."
"Exactly! I refuse to believe he can wipe out our entire Demon Race!"
Everyone roared, refusing to believe it.
Yet the scene that followed left them dumbfounded.
Wherever Black Impermanence went, who could contend once his hook came out? Soon, all the Demon Race's experts and armies on the southern border were annihilated.
The demons were momentarily bewildered.
"No! The humans are acting so brazenly. Do they really think we're easy to bully? This old man will go meet him."
As he spoke, a pressure surpassing that of a Saint burst forth with earthshaking force.
"What? The Green Mountain Clan's Great Saint is making his move! This time, the humans are doomed!"
The demons were excited. Although the Green Mountain Clan's Great Saint had only recently broken through, he was stronger than a Saint by far more than a little. Taking down a mere human would be no problem.
Naturally, they were thrilled.
Just as Black Impermanence led his army toward the other regions.
A terrifying presence tore straight through space and descended overhead.
The dreadful pressure made the army tremble.
"This is bad! A Great Saint! Everyone, don't panic! Set up the Hell Battle Formation!"
Someone bellowed, and the army instantly coalesced into a terrifying presence.
Before Black Impermanence could even react, they had already formed the terrifying Hell Battle Formation.
A ferocious Skeleton King manifested, formed from the battle formation of the first vanguard's ten thousand soldiers, together with the first vanguard commander.
Its terrifying might shook heaven and earth.
"How is this possible? You actually know battle formations? Just who are you? The humans of the Heavenly Spirit Continent shouldn't know this kind of lost battle formation, should they?"
The Green Mountain Great Saint spoke, his expression grave.
"Demons, you trespassed against our human race. Die!"
As the icy voice fell, boundless hellish might came crushing down.
Empowered by the battle formation, the first vanguard commander instantly reached the peak of the late Saint stage.
Facing a demon in the Great Saint Realm, he showed no fear at all and attacked outright.
"Thirteen Spears of Hell, First Spear: World-Destroying Great Tribulation!"
The icy voice rang out, and an invincible spear manifested between heaven and earth. Bearing hellish patterns, it unleashed the World-Destroying Great Tribulation.
Endless lightning, wrapped in hellfire, came crushing down on the Demon Race's Great Saint.
"What can a mere Saint do to me?"
The Demon Race's Great Saint raised a hand to resist, disdainful.
The next moment, he began to question his life as a demon.
The spear pierced his palm and thrust straight toward his chest.
Had his battle armor not blocked the attack at the crucial moment, he might already have died.
Pfft!
"Humans, you're truly courting death! Courting death!"
At that moment, he was utterly enraged. A dignified Great Saint of the Demon Race had actually been wounded by a mere battle formation. It was a disgrace beyond measure.
Terrifying saintly might erupted.
For a time, the entire Southern Region was shrouded in it, the pressure terrifying to the extreme, shaking heaven and earth.
"This pressure... could a Saint be making a move?"
"No, this presence seems more than twice as powerful as the earlier one. Could a Great Saint have come in person?"
"What? A Great Saint of the Demon Race?"
