Exterminate the Humans!

"Kill!!"
The order from Purple Firmament Peak was like detonating a volcano that had been suppressed for thousands of years.
The roar of ten thousand demons shook the land for miles.
The Shi Pan transformed into a giant rock bear several meters tall, standing in mid-air, its body surging with earthy yellow Demon Power, resembling a demon god.
He looked down at the White Cloud Temple, which had been turned into a sea of blood, his eyes filled with no pity, only a long-suppressed fervor.
"The Ancestor has decreed: Loot Ming Province!"
Shi Pan roared to the sky, his thick bear arm swung violently. "Dark Gold, Lightning Bear, Boulder, Frost and Snow, Primal Five Veins, each lead an army."
"The thirty-six tribes of Beast Pasturing Mountain have all marched out! Today, this Ming Province will be the hunting ground for our Demon Race race! The Demon Race will once again rise to greatness!!"
"With the blood of our enemies, let us offer a sacrifice to the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain!!"
"Roar!!"
The mountains responded.
Countless beast shadows surged forth from all parts of the Cloud Sword Mountain Range, converging into torrents of black energy that broke through the dilapidated gates of the White Cloud Temple and swept out in all directions.
Ming Province, under the jurisdiction of the Western Protectorate, is home to hundreds of cities and tens of millions of ordinary people.
As darkness fell, the city Tongming.
On the city wall, several guards at the Qi Refining Realm were chatting idly, completely unaware of the earth-shattering changes happening outside.
Have you heard?
"Sea monsters have landed in Abundant Prefecture, killing tens of millions of people."
"Who cares? With the great cultivators of the Supreme Purity Sect holding them off, they can't reach Ming Province."
Before the words were even finished, the ground suddenly trembled violently.
Stone bricks fell from the city wall with a soft rustling sound.
"What's going on? Is the earth turning upside down?" The guard asked in surprise, peering out of the city.
The next moment, his pupils shrank sharply, and he froze on the spot.
At the horizon, a dark, overwhelming tide of beasts surged forward like a tsunami.
Leading the charge were hundreds of enormous Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros, lined up in a row, their horns gleaming with silver light. With each stomp, the earth trembled and howled in agony!
"Beasts... beast tide!"
The sharp tolling of bells pierced the night sky.
But it was all too late. When the Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros herd, like a battering ram, crashed heavily into the nameless little town...
The defensive formation, which was strong enough to withstand several Foundation Establishment cultivators, shattered after only three breaths under the frenzied assault of hundreds and thousands of Demon Beast.
The city wall collapsed, and smoke and dust billowed into the sky.
"Kill!"
Shi Mo transformed into a giant, Dark Gold bear and leaped into the city.
He smashed a watchtower to pieces with a single slap, turning the several panicked Human Race cultivators inside into a bloody pulp.
Following behind him were tens of thousands of demon wolves, Wind Rat, and black dogs.
Indiscriminate slaughter has begun!
The cries of mortals, the screams of monks, and the rumble of collapsing buildings intertwined to form a symphony of death.
An ancestor of a Foundation Establishment Lineage soared into the sky, his Law Artifact artifact gleaming brightly, attempting to stop the demon horde and annihilate the Demon Beast.
"You beast, die!"
A bolt of lightning shot out from the beast tide, and the leader of the Lightning Bear Line lineage instantly closed in, opening his blood-red maw and biting off half of the ancestor's body.
"Snap!"
Bones shattered, blood gushed out.
Before the Foundation Establishment Ancestor could even finish his scream, he was swallowed whole by Lightning Bear.
"The flesh and blood of this city belong to my Lightning Bear Line!"
Commander Lightning Bear wiped the bits of flesh from the corner of his mouth and burst into wild laughter.
This metropolis of millions was transformed into a living hell in just half an hour...
The streets were littered with mutilated corpses, and blood flowed like rivers down the Water Dao.
Not only under the jurisdiction of the Western Protectorate.
The Southern Protectorate, the Eastern Protectorate, the four Protectorates under the jurisdiction of Ming Province, and hundreds of ordinary villages and towns all suffered devastating blows at the same time.
The thirty-six tribes of Beast Pasturing Mountain displayed astonishing destructive power.
The Jade Water Buffalo breached the dikes, causing the river to overflow and flooding vast tracts of farmland and villages. Aquatic Demon Beast roamed through the floodwaters, dragging the mortals struggling in the water to the bottom.
Meanwhile, various Demon Beast swept through Human Race territory, razing countless villages and towns to the ground and turning them into endless ruins.
In the eyes of the Demon Race, Human Race kept them captive, skinned them, and used them to refine pills and weapons.
They were mortal enemies, sworn enemies of their clans.
Now that the roles of offense and defense have been reversed, it is only natural to vent all the resentment accumulated over thousands of years, to repay hatred with hatred, and to give blood for blood!
In the center of Ming Province stands a great city of cultivation called ' Azure Yang '.
This is the largest gathering place of cultivators in Ming Province, with as many as 100,000 resident independent Rogue Cultivator, and the White Cloud Temple branch is also based here.
At this moment, Azure Yang City was surrounded by an endless tide of beasts.
On the city wall, the array of light barriers flickered wildly, on the verge of collapsing at any moment.
"Hold on! Don't stop the Spirit Stone!"
The city lord was an elderly man at the Golden Core stage, belonging to a branch elder of the Supreme Purity Sect. At this moment, his hair was disheveled and his eyes were bloodshot.
Looking at the dense, endless hordes of Demon Beast outside the city, he was filled with despair and a sense of resentment.
"How could this happen...? What about White Cloud Temple?"
"Why is there no reinforcement from our sect? Why are there no troops coming to help?"
The old man roared, but received no response.
Outside the city, Shi Pan coldly watched the crumbling array light screen.
"This is truly a last-ditch resistance."
Shi Pan raised his enormous bear paw, and a yellowish-brown light condensed in his palm, transforming into a phantom Shan Yue a hundred feet in size.
"Break!"
The illusory Shan Yue crashed down, slamming into the array's light barrier.
"Crack--Bang!"
The light curtain, like fragile glass, shattered instantly...
"The formation has been broken! Run!"
The cultivators in the city were completely devastated and scattered in all directions, riding their Law Artifact.
Kill! Leave no one alive.
Shi Pan's tone was chilling, and the sky instantly darkened.
Countless flying Demon Beast swooped down from the clouds, their sharp claws tearing through the cultivators' protective aura and knocking them down from mid-air.
On the ground, hordes of beasts surged into the city, killing anyone they saw and looting anything they could find.
The old Daoist priest, who had reached the Golden Core stage, roared and unleashed his Life-Bound Law Treasure, charging towards the Shi Pan.
"I'll fight you to the death!"
Shi Pan didn't even glance at him, completely ignoring him. Immediately afterwards, a giant cloud hand descended from the sky.
The giant hand slammed down, bang!
The city lord, a cultivator at the Early Golden Core, along with his Law Treasure, was blasted into a cloud of blood mist and vanished into the world...
"You lowly ant."
Above the sky, shrouded in layers of clouds, the figures of White Crane and Shi Jian appeared and disappeared among the clouds, seemingly ruling over this region of heaven and earth...
A man and a bear emerged with the beast tide, taking their place amidst the horde.
Seeing the Demon Lord White Crane make his move, Shi Pan respectfully bowed towards the clouds above, and then continued to lead the demon horde into the city to slaughter!
