"The threat of the Demon Race race to the Nine Provinces Continent is finally over."
An elder from the Holy Land, dressed in Qingmu Daoist robe, gazed at the ruins of the Demon Emperor Hall and the dissipating Yao Qi before him. He let out a long sigh, his tone filled with emotion and barely suppressed joy.
Several other cultivators beside him, whose auras were equally profound, nodded in agreement.
The Demon Race occupies the Ten Thousand Demons Province, seemingly living in a secluded corner, but in reality, it is like a malignant tumor clinging to the bone. Their bloodline and innate talents are extremely powerful, and every few thousand years, a "demon calamity" will erupt.
Demons swept Nine Provinces, leaving Human Race territory devastated and countless mortals and cultivators perishing.
Now, witnessing Han Xuanji's unparalleled divine power in utterly destroying the core of the Demon Emperor Hall and slaying the otherworldly Heavenly Demon, they felt genuine admiration.
Among the four holy lands of Central Province, the Mount Shu Sword Sect should have contributed the most to the fight against the Demon Race race.
Every Mount Shu Sword Immortal has a renowned reputation.
Xuanzhenzi took a deep breath, suppressing his shock, stepped forward, and bowed deeply to Han Xuanji, his voice trembling slightly with excitement:
"Fellow Daoist, your divine might is unparalleled! Your sword slays countless demons. The merit of this battle benefits all living beings and will be remembered for generations to come!"
On behalf of countless lives, Xuanzhenzi of Mount Shu thanks fellow Daoist for his kindness!
His words came from the bottom of his heart, filled with reverence and gratitude.
We... are in awe!
Behind him, all the cultivators, whether they were patriarchs in the Immortal Ascension Realm or those who had come with him, regardless of which sect they came from, were now completely devoid of any pretense or sectarian bias. They were all sincerely convinced and bowed in unison as if on a pilgrimage, their voices converging and shaking the space that had just calmed down.
Their eyes were fixed on Han Xuanji, filled with fervor.
Fellow Daoists.
Han Xuanji's voice remained calm, his face expressionless. The earth-shattering battle just now had not taken any toll on him.
He slightly raised his hand, and an invisible, gentle force lifted everyone up.
"With this matter settled, all the powerful Demon Race have perished, and their fortune has dissipated... They are unlikely to pose a significant threat in the short term and are not worth worrying about."
He paused, looking at the spatial rift that had previously closed, before continuing:
"Those powerful Demon Race came from the Heavenly Demon Realm. Now that the Demon Emperor's lineage has been completely wiped out, their chances of coming to the Nine Provinces Continent are like finding a needle in a haystack. You can all rest assured."
Han Xuanji's casual words only fueled the crowd's excitement.
"So that's how it is. No wonder the Demon Race has become so powerful."
Suddenly, some powerful cultivators understood why the Demon Race had been able to gather so many strong individuals so quickly in the past.
In the past, countless cultivators had to perish in the various holy lands to stop the demonic chaos.
During every great calamity for the Demon Race race, countless people perish.
The shock on Xuanzhenzi and the others deepened. The long-standing problem that had plagued the Human Race for thousands of years had been completely resolved by him alone with a sword, with just a few gestures!
"Senior..."
Suppressing his excitement, Xuanzhenzi asked the question that had been on everyone's mind, his tone extremely respectful.
"After this battle, the Demon Race is no longer a threat. I wonder what to do with this Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom?"
Han Xuanji's gaze was deep, and he said calmly:
" The Demon Race also needs someone to keep them in check. I will make arrangements, and I will need your cooperation then."
Han Xuanji couldn't possibly exterminate all the Demon Race, so rather than ignoring them, he decided to take control of this force himself.
As for who should be in charge, he already had someone in mind.
"Um."
Xuanzhenzi nodded slightly, and the other cultivators followed suit.
This is a very good thing.
The Demon Emperor Hall.
Looking at the ruins before him, the Little White Tiger's eyes were filled with excitement, and he muttered to himself:
"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; never underestimate a young man's potential."
He was initially worried about Han Xuanji's safety, but soon after, news arrived that the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom was gone, and the Demon Emperor's lineage was also wiped out.
Avenging one's great wrongs is that simple.
Instead of going to great lengths to improve your cultivation and seek revenge, it's better to find a good master.
"Are you happy now?"
Han Xuanji said with a smile.
His original plan was to destroy the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom before ascending to immortality, both to avenge the Little White Tiger and to eliminate a potential threat to the Human Race.
Unexpectedly, the Demon Race launched the first attack, so he decided to send them on their way.
"By the way, you'll become the Demon Emperor from now on."
Han Xuanji said it casually, as if he were talking about something insignificant.
"Ah, I'm going to be the Demon Emperor?"
"What, you still don't dare to accept it?"
"Master, rest assured, I will absolutely not disgrace you."
"However, when I ascend to heaven, I will still be my master's pet."
"You little rascal, are you trying to cling to me?"
"Hehe, I'm going to rely on my master for life."
Looking at the Little White Tiger's appearance, Han Xuanji shook his head. Was this little guy really a tiger?
Then Han Xuanji took out a Law Treasure shaped like a scroll and threw it over.
"This is..."
The Little White Tiger observed carefully, and then said:
" The Ten Thousand Demons Illustrated Compendium "?
"That's right."
Han Xuanji nodded.
With this item and Han Xuanji's reputation, the Little White Tiger could easily secure its position as the Demon Emperor.
This can be considered a backup plan he arranged for the other party.
After all, he couldn't stay in the lower realm forever; he would ascend to the upper realm sooner or later.
And that day won't be too far away.
Then.
Han Xuanji arrived at the depths of the Demon Emperor's Palace, the location of the Demon Race Clan's treasure trove, which was filled with countless rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures, spiritual ores, and immortal gold that the Demon Race had plundered over the years.
Even for Han Xuanji, this was a considerable fortune.
Adding what he obtained from the Heaven-Swallowing Devil Sect's treasury, even excluding the rewards from daily check-ins, his accumulated wealth is probably greater than that of the treasuries of several major Earth Immortal sects in the Central Province.
Soon, news of the destruction of the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom spread throughout the world.
This was witnessed by many great cultivators. Under their promotion, Han Xuanji had become the number one cultivator in the world and a hero of the Nine Provinces Continent.
The Devil-Slaying Sword Immortal's fame quickly became known to all.
"Just how powerful is the Devil-Slaying Sword Immortal? The Demon Emperor is said to be virtually invincible in the lower Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom."
"Heaven has eyes; the Demon Race can no longer pose any threat."
Even many immortal sects and holy sites overseas found it hard to believe.
As news of the destruction of the Heaven-Swallowing Devil Sect spread, many people realized that the Nine Provinces Continent truly lived up to its reputation as the ancestral land of the Spirit Realm, its fortune remaining as strong as ever.
Against this backdrop, peace returned to the Nine Provinces Continent.
Han Xuanji's life became more stable; he focused on signing in and then quietly cultivating.
In the Late-Stage Immortal Ascension, his cultivation speed did not slow down at all; in fact, it was even slightly faster than when he first entered the Immortal Ascension Realm.
One reason is that he has accumulated a lot of experience and knowledge, but another reason is that his talent has improved.
