Westward!

Profound Truth Kingdom, Huang Province.

Yellow sand filled the sky, and Spiritual Qi was scarce.

This is the One Qi Dao Gate, one of the three states it rules. In the past fifty years, the Profound Truth Kingdom has recuperated and barely recovered some of its vitality.

However, these three states were already barren and had the shallowest foundation, and now they have become the first places to bear the brunt of the westward expansion of the Myriad Demon Domain.

On the border of the Huang Province, at Yellow Sand Pass.

The protective array was dimming and teetering on the verge of collapse.

Beyond the pass, countless dark figures surged in like a tide.

"Kill!"

A hoarse, frenzied roar echoed across the wilderness.

Dozens of figures, clad in black robes and with hunched backs, charged forward fearlessly, braving the spiritual light bombardment of the array.

The black robes ripped apart, revealing twisted bodies that were half-human and half-dog, covered in crimson fur.

That's Half-Demon from the Zhao Clan!

The leader was a man over ten feet tall, with bulging muscles all over his body. His hands were transformed into sharp dog claws, with dark red underground poisonous flames swirling around his fingertips.

It was none other than the Zhao Clan patriarch: Zhao Xuanqing!

His Zhao Clan clan has served the Demon General Kuang Dou of the western part of the Myriad Demon Domain for two hundred years.

Since learning the "Heavenly Demon Sainthood Transformation Instruction", he obtained the Essence Blood of the Sun Devourer Hound from Kuang Dou. Now his cultivation has reached the Foundation Establishment Perfection, his lifespan has greatly increased, and his physical body is as powerful as a magic Law Treasure.

He was already nearing the end of his life.

However, he used the magic of the Heavenly Demon to transform into Half-Demon, thus managing to survive.

The young man who took over the Zhao Clan back then has changed completely; he no longer possesses the vigor and ambition he once had...

"For our King! For the Holy Race!"

Zhao Xuanqing's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a madman; he leaped forward, his sharp claws tearing fiercely at the light barrier of the protective formation.

Sizzle!

The light barrier shattered, and a crack several meters long was forcibly torn open in the great formation.

"The formation is broken! Follow me and kill!"

Zhao Xuanqing the first to rush into the pass, followed by dozens of the Zhao Clan Half-Demon who, like wolves that had smelled blood, surged in madly.

Unafraid of pain, their bodies were incredibly tough; the One Qi Dao Gate Law Artifact of the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment disciples of the Qi Dao Sect had little effect on them.

In contrast, the claws of the Half-Demon could easily tear apart the protective aura of Human Race cultivators.

Screams and the roar of Law Technique intertwined to create a scene of purgatory.

Those who stood in their way were brutally slaughtered by the Half-Demon, their limbs and bones flying everywhere, utterly powerless to resist!

"You beast, die!"

A furious roar, as loud as thunder, exploded in the sky.

The next instant, a blinding blue fireball descended from the sky, heading straight for Zhao Xuanqing. Clearly, a superior cultivator was about to bully the weak.

Within the fireball, a three-legged bronze cauldron could be faintly seen, spinning rapidly.

One Qi Dao Gate, True Person Qingding!

Zhao Xuanqing recognized the object. Looking at the descending azure fireball, he showed no fear, but instead revealed a smile.

He didn't retreat; instead, he spread his arms wide and let the fireball hurtle towards him.

Just when True Person Qingding thought he had succeeded.

In the western sky, the clouds suddenly turned crimson.

A violent, demonic Yao Qi, seemingly capable of incinerating the entire world, suddenly descended.

"You old man Qingding, you think you can hit my dog?"

In the void, a crimson dog paw that blotted out the sky appeared out of nowhere and grabbed the ball of blue fire.

Bang!

The magic Law Treasure a cultivator in the Early Golden Core was fully activating was actually crushed by that dog's claws.

Blue flames flew everywhere, and the three-legged bronze cauldron let out a mournful cry, its surface covered with cracks, before flying back into the hands of the True Person Qingding.

"Puff!"

With his Law Treasure damaged, True Person Qingding coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face ashen white. His gaze was fixed on the west, his eyes filled with apprehension.

"Kuang Dou... it's you again!"

Amidst the fiery clouds, a giant dog, over twenty feet long and engulfed in flames, emerged from the sky.

The Myriad Demon Domain guarding the western part of the Demon General, the lord of the Sun Devourer Hound Clan: Kuang Dou!

His cultivation progressed extremely rapidly; in less than a hundred years, he had already become a level six Demon General, comparable to Human Race at the Golden Core Middle Stage!

Kuang Dou looked down at True Person Qingding, grinned, revealing a mouthful of fangs. "Fifty years have passed, and your One Qi Dao Gate is still as useless as ever."

"Fifty years ago, you were already at the Early Golden Core, and you're still only at the Early Golden Core now. Qingding, you've truly wasted your cultivation!"

"Where's that old Daoist priest Wenxuan? Why did he send such a useless piece of trash like you to your death?"

"My lord, I miss you terribly!"

True Person Qingding gritted his teeth, gripping the damaged bronze cauldron tightly. "You arrogant fiend! Although my Profound Truth Kingdom is barren, it is not a place for you Demon Race to trample upon at will!"

"Tsk, so many years have passed, and he still keeps repeating the same few phrases."

"Really noisy."

Kuang Dou snorted coldly.

He opened his mouth wide, and a blinding red flame surged from deep within his throat.

It was none other than its Sun Devourer Demon Fire!

Boom!

A pillar of fire erupted, instantly traversing a distance of a thousand feet, completely engulfing True Person Qingding and burning him continuously.

Damn it!

Seeing this, True Person Qingding hurriedly retreated, summoning his great cauldron to protect himself. However, after only a few breaths, the cauldron became increasingly broken.

Seeing that he was no match for the Kuang Dou and could gain no advantage, he used a Secret Method, instantly transforming into a wisp of green smoke and fleeing thousands of miles away.

"You fiend, just you wait!"

After his sneak attack failed and he was forced back by Kuang Dou's move, True Person Qingding could only utter a harsh remark in the end.

Inside Yellow Sand Pass.

The surviving disciples of the One Qi Dao Gate were completely disoriented upon witnessing this scene. Seeing their own True Person fleeing, their morale collapsed, and they abandoned their defense of the city, scattering and fleeing in all directions.

Kuang Dou snorted, exhaling two plumes of white smoke carrying sparks, his eyes filled with disdain.

"Old man, you're quick on your feet."

"Don't let me catch you, or I'll kill you!"

"The rest of you, obey my command! Kill them!"

At Kuang Dou's command, Zhao Xuanqing knelt on one knee below, his expression one of extreme fanaticism. "I will obey Your Majesty's decree!"

The Zhao Clan's Half-Demon, like wild dogs unleashed, began slaughtering and plundering within Yellow Sand Pass. Spirit Stone, pills, magical Law Artifact, ores, and even the array foundation materials on the city walls were all looted by them like plucking feathers from a passing goose.

Half an hour later.

Yellow Sand Pass was reduced to ruins, with corpses strewn across the land.

Zhao Xuanqing respectfully presented a Storage Bag filled with Spirit Stone and high-grade spiritual materials to Kuang Dou.

"Your Majesty, Yellow Sand Pass has fallen, and all the resources within are here."

Zhao Xuanqing bowed his head, not daring to look directly at Kuang Dou's imposing presence.

Kuang Dou glanced at the Storage Bag, opened his mouth, and swallowed it into his stomach.

"Well done. These Half-Demon from your Zhao Clan clan are much easier to use than my own clansmen."

"Your Majesty flatters me. It is an honor for my Zhao Clan clan to serve you. How can my clan compare to Your Majesty's?"

Zhao Xuanqing lowered his head even further, becoming even more humble.

Upon seeing this, the Kuang Dou raised its claws and flicked its fingers.

A drop of Essence Blood landed steadily in Zhao Xuanqing's hand...

"This is the Essence Blood of the Sun Devourer that I refined. It's a reward for you. From now on, the dirty work of westward expansion will still have to be done by your Zhao Household."

Zhao Xuanqing knelt down, his voice trembling with excitement:

"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Majesty! Zhao Clan is willing to follow Your Majesty to the death, to crush the Profound Truth Kingdom for the Demon Realm, and to glorify the Demon Realm's prestige!"
