Chapter 985 The Great Demon Retreats, Post-Battle Agreements Reached
"Shh!"

A silver river descended from the sky, splashing up a few drops of blood.

The Great Gentleman held the Hun Tian Axe, his gaze filled with an indifferent disdain for everything, as if he had not slain the Inch Demon, one of the top tiers of the Ten Demons of the Southeast, but some insignificant nobody.

The Inch Demon ultimately perished under his Great Nine Heavens Disintegration Holy Technique.

The Fear Demon and the Rabbit Demon were terrified, and while the Great Lord was fully engaged in dealing with the Inch Demon, they managed to carve out two paths to escape.

The mountain lords, governors, and the guards of the great lord from all directions tried to surround them, but they could not stop the two great demons from escaping.

The scene was like a sea of ​​blood churning, with countless severed limbs flying everywhere.

With the thought of cutting off their tails to survive, the two great demons gritted their teeth and endured wave after wave of deadly attacks. Their massive bodies were covered in wounds, and at least several hundred pounds of flesh and blood were scraped off.

Just when he was exhausted and about to give up, he suddenly heard a voice that seemed like a lifeline.

"Hurry, the Azure Lord sent us to meet you!"

It's the Mang Demon, one of the Ten Demons of the Southeast. The only one who uses the obsequious title of 'Master' is this sycophantic demon.

Although the two demons looked down on the dragon demon, they felt a sense of kinship seeing it appear in this life-or-death situation.

"Again?"

Without blinking, the Great Gentleman raised the Hun Tian Axe again, its blade still dripping with the blood of the Inch Demon, and swept it straight toward the two groups of great demons that were about to converge.

The cold light flashed like lightning, piercing through tens of thousands of meters in the blink of an eye, scorching the air and making the light blindingly intense.

A muffled groan rang out, indicating that several powerful demons had been wounded. However, having learned from past mistakes, they did not fight back directly. Instead, they used the Golden Cicada Shedding its Shell technique or the Demon Embryo Transferring Technique to substitute one thing for another.

Lonely demon blood splattered in the air, but there was no trace of the great demons left.

The great gentleman sighed. The demon was cunning and its methods were ever-changing; it still managed to escape this time.

Taking stock of the results, this battle, in which the Inch Demon, the Alligator Demon, and the Vulture Demon were killed, was even more impressive than the previous great victory.

The Demon Transformation Cauldron was filled with the tumbling body of a three-headed demon, which was continuously being refined into a black pillar that shot into the sky, with the sound of liquid dripping out incessantly.

Zhou You suddenly felt a tremor in his heart; his cultivation level had once again broken through a bottleneck.

In the blink of an eye, he broke through from the peak of the eighth heaven to the ninth heaven, and then smoothly consolidated his realm, slowly advancing towards the middle of the ninth heaven.

Finally, we have reached the Ninth Heaven of the Powerful Martial Realm, the last stage of the late Powerful Martial Realm.

The Grandmaster's mark within his body seemed to sense the Grandmaster's precipice so close at hand, and began to tremble and buzz.

Their restless, eager-to-do appearance suggests they're itching to make a big splash.

The Infant Phoenix Devouring Dragon Technique is about to be squeezed dry of its last bit of value. This time, it has been exposed in full view of everyone, both friend and foe, and there will definitely be targeted arrangements afterward.

Two of the Ten Demons of the Southeast, the Beautiful Demon and the Cunning Demon, are still trapped in Juding Mountain!
After today, as the leader of the 'Chicken' Sect, Li Yao will surely plot against Zhou You.

"Congratulations to the great lord on your great victory in slaying the three-headed demon."

The great demons escaped, and after a chase, they drove them far out of sight.

The battle has finally come to an end!

All the governors, prefects, and mountain lords of the Hundred Sects Alliance bowed and congratulated the Great Gentleman.

The greatest contributor to the decisive victory in this battle was the Great Gentleman, who brought down all three great demons with his Hun Tian Axe.

This made Zhou You truly realize the value of high-end combat power.

"This is the Demon Transformation Cauldron?"

The Grand Master's gaze fell upon the hundred-meter-tall cauldron, and through the billowing black smoke, he saw the scene of the three-headed demon's corpse being refined and shrunk. He nodded in satisfaction, "Without the help of this cauldron, the three-headed demon would still have a chance to struggle. Governor of Li Huo Prefecture has made outstanding contributions!"

This statement served as a reminder to everyone around.

Indeed, in past battles, the Great Gentleman, wielding the Hun Tian Axe, was invincible and slew many great demons.

However, the Ten Demons of the Southeast are of a high level. Their demon bodies are sturdy, and they have mastered the secret techniques of the Original Demon Chapter of All Things. Their natal demon crown can protect them from disasters and even if they suffer a fatal attack, they can prolong their lives, recover from their injuries, and make a comeback.

For example, when the demon was cut in half, according to usual practice, it could forcibly close the wound and escape.

This time was different. The Demon Transformation Cauldron swallowed and destroyed all avenues of survival, refining the demon's body and leaving it with no way to escape but to die.

The Demon Transformation Cauldron's perfect finishing move provided an excellent supporting effect.

"You flatter me, sir. Please come inside and rest!"

As the host of this place, Zhou Nanwang invited the great gentleman to rest after the battle.

Although the governor's mansion was badly damaged, it was not a problem for the Earth Sect. The fist intent used the Earth Sect's city-building technique to turn the ruins around in a short time, and most of the buildings were restored to their original state.

However, the virtuous gentleman politely declined the invitation, saying, "I want to witness the Demon Transformation Cauldron refine the three demons with my own eyes!"

The refining work lasted for a month and a half before it finally came to an end.

After the final scream, the existence of the three great demons—the Inch Demon, the Crocodile Demon, and the Vulture Demon—was completely erased from the world.

In the very center of a clear spring inside the cauldron, a clump of sand rises up, resembling a sandbar in the middle of a lake.

"The demon essence and ore refined by the three Southeast Ten Demons are not only of higher grade, but also in greater quantity!"
The interior of the hundred-meter-tall cauldron was extremely large, and it was nearly half full of the refined demon essence, unlike the few drops that were used before.

"it is good!"

The Great Gentleman nodded in satisfaction. He had witnessed the quality of the Hun Tian Axe repaired by the demon ore and knew how many divine weapons could be repaired from scrap and put back into the battlefield.

Moreover, demon essence is a rare and precious material for alchemy, and can replace many rare and precious treasures.

"Governor of Li Huo Prefecture, from now on, the resources provided by Li Huo Prefecture will mainly consist of demonic ores and demonic essences. What do you think of this arrangement?"

The Great Gentleman exempted the medicinal materials and divine weapons from Lihuozhou and replaced them with demon essence and demon ore, because he saw the infinite potential of the Demon Transformation Cauldron.

Other states have no shortage of manpower, but lack resources. Li Huo State possesses the Demon Transformation Cauldron, a powerful weapon, which can complement its resources.

In the long run, the great gentleman's arrangement was very wise.

Zhou Nanwang pondered for a moment, then clasped his hands in a fist and replied, "I obey the orders of the great gentleman."

"It's a pity that the Bitter Soup Pharmacist, who led the uprising at Juding Mountain, sacrificed himself. The Inch Demon deserves to die!"

The great gentlemen all said with regret.

Zhou You explained, "My lord, to be honest, the Bitter Soup Pharmacist just bit into a 'Phantom Death Pill' to avoid the Inch Demon's sneak attack, and has now moved to a safe place to heal his wounds."

"Once he recovers from his injuries, he will soon reappear and manipulate the Demon Transformation Cauldron!"

At this point, Zhou You cupped his hands and said, "I have a favor to ask."

"Yes, please go ahead!"

"The Bitter Soup Pharmacist needs some demonic essence to refine his medicine; please, Your Excellency, leave some behind!"

The demon essence within the Demon Transformation Cauldron is refined from the essence of powerful demons at the level of the Ten Demons of the Southeast, and can even be used to refine spiritual medicines.
The Bitter Soup Pharmacist is at a critical juncture in his breakthrough. If he can develop a spiritual medicine with demon essence as the main ingredient, he can definitely become a spiritual medicine master in no time.

The gentleman was very reasonable. “The governor and his son have done a great deal of work this time, and the Bitter Soup Pharmacist risked his life to protect the cauldron. They should rightfully receive a share.”
