In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

Half an hour later, a billowing demonic aura suddenly appeared on the horizon of Yanhui City, blotting out the sun and surging in like a tidal wave, with countless demonic shadows seemingly roaring within it.

Almost as soon as it appeared, it spread to the skies above Yanhui City.

The thousands of demons who had not yet left the city were simultaneously overwhelmed by this aura, their bodies involuntarily going limp.

Soon, demonic clouds descended, enveloping the site of the recent battle.

"He got away again!"

"Hmph! I'm afraid he won't show himself. Immediately trace the teleportation array and see where he went!"

"Judging from the atmosphere at the scene, Yin Sha and his three companions have held out for quite some time. It seems that after being chased by us for over a few years, he is now at his last gasp."

"Haha, his mountain giant avatar has been injured by me and will be unable to use 'Stone Giant Teleportation' for a while. He won't be able to get rid of us this time!"

"We found out, he went to Silent Water City, but destroyed the teleportation array there!"

"No problem, the major families in Silent Water City all have their own teleportation arrays. Change the teleportation coordinates immediately!"

......

Skyfire City, a major demon city with a Holy Ancestor presiding over it, is currently in utter chaos.

The air-blocking restrictions in the city had clearly been lifted, and all sorts of streaks of light were flying around in the air. Many demons were gathered in groups of three or five in the city, whispering among themselves with solemn expressions.

Because the sky tens of thousands of miles around Tianhuo City was already shrouded in an overwhelming purple mist, stretching as far as the eye could see, with only a few places still able to let in light. But even these few areas were gradually being obscured by the purple clouds.

Above Skyfire City, every now and then, groups of tens of thousands of mid-to-high-level demons would leave Skyfire City and speed towards the few remaining wilderness areas untouched by the purple clouds.

Meanwhile, outside a grand hall hundreds of feet high in the city, a crowd of anxious demons had gathered, while opposite them were hundreds of demons dressed in uniform armor, completely surrounding the hall.

"Why won't you let us use the teleportation array to leave!" many demons shouted.

"It's not that we're preventing you from using the teleportation array, but because of the Demon-Sucking Ants, the major towns corresponding to the teleportation array have already blocked Skyfire City's teleportation access. Even if the teleportation array is activated, you won't be able to leave," a high-ranking demon in armor said coldly.

"Who are you trying to fool? If the teleportation array is no longer working, then what are you still doing here!"

“We are here for a reason. Once any city opens up access, we can immediately organize you all to teleport away. Otherwise, if we let you all go in and try, the teleportation array will malfunction sooner or later, and then no one will be able to leave.”

Just as the two sides were arguing, a thick pillar of light suddenly shot into the sky above the main hall.

"Didn't you say the teleportation array was unusable? What's going on?!" Upon seeing the pillar of light shooting straight into the sky, the demons who had been blocked outside immediately erupted in angry shouts.

The high-ranking demon in armor also had a slight change in expression, but quickly realized something was wrong: "Someone has been teleported here, not left!"

"Even the Holy Ancestor has left, who would come to Heavenly Fire City to die at this time!" The demons who were blocked did not believe it at all, and began to rush towards the palace gate in a swarm.

The armored demons immediately formed a group to block them, but there were simply too many of them, and they were scattered almost instantly.

Just as the demons were about to enter the main hall, the hall doors suddenly shook violently and then burst open without warning.

Caught off guard, some of the demons at the forefront were instantly reduced to a cloud of rubble and blood mist along with the palace gate.

The demons behind were also shaken by the sudden explosion and retreated one after another, while several figures rushed out of the hall.

When he discovered that there were still many demons blocking his way outside the door, a cold snort rang out.

One of the burly men suddenly swelled up, instantly becoming hundreds of feet tall, nearly twice the height of the main hall.

"Get out!" the giant roared, stomping his foot hard on the ground. The ground shook violently, and the rumbling sound was incessant, as if an earthquake had struck.

The immense force emanated from the giant and spread outwards in all directions. Under the impact of this terrifying force, all the demons, regardless of their cultivation level, exploded and died.

In the blink of an eye, thousands of demons near the main hall were all turned into an extremely dense blood mist, leaving not even a few limbs behind.

But that wasn't all. A golden light flashed in the giant's hand, and a long mace appeared. He swung it and smashed it down hard on the main hall next to him.

With a deafening roar, the main hall and the teleportation array within it were reduced to ruins by this attack.

Upon hearing the commotion, the demons who rushed over from afar fled in terror, not daring to approach even a fraction closer.

These figures were none other than Lu Yuan and his several avatars, who had just arrived after a long and arduous journey.

But before Lu Yuan could catch his breath, his expression suddenly changed and he looked towards the southeast.

More than a hundred miles away, a huge pillar of light shot straight into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, several other beams of light also rose up in other places in Skyfire City.

"They came so fast!"

Lu Yuan's face darkened. The mountain giant beside him shrank rapidly, while the Azure Phoenix transformed into a giant Azure Phoenix over a hundred feet in size. It opened its mouth wide and swallowed Lu Yuan and the others, then flapped its wings fiercely towards the purple clouds on the horizon outside the city.

His figure blurred and then disappeared from the spot.

"Another breath covers ten thousand miles!" Demonic clouds surged beside a huge pillar of light.

"Hmph! Skyfire City is already besieged by the Demon-Sucking Ants, he's courting death!"

Several other figures also appeared near the other pillars of light, each with an incredibly powerful aura.

After being teleported to Skyfire City, these guys saw that Lu Yuan was trying to run away again, so they immediately gathered together and formed a huge cloud of demonic energy.

With the combined power of these powerful beings, their speed was astonishing. Lu Yuan had just appeared thousands of miles away using 'One Breath Ten Thousand Miles' when the demonic cloud caught up from behind.

As the distance between the two sides drew closer and closer, Lu Yuan could even see through the demonic clouds and clearly see dozens of figures of different shapes and sizes. Each of them possessed an exceptionally powerful aura, and they were either incarnations of the Holy Ancestors or late-stage Demon Lords.

"Very well, let's see if you dare to follow!" Lu Yuan's Azure Phoenix avatar increased its speed to the maximum and sped towards the gap between the two purple clouds on the horizon.

"This kid from another world actually went after the Demon-Sucking Ants. Doesn't he know how powerful they are?"

"Even if we were trapped in such a massive ant sea, it would be difficult for us to escape." A demon lord in the demon cloud looked at the terrifying ant sea in the distance and couldn't help but feel worried.

“These several groups of demon-absorbing ants haven’t merged yet. The direction that kid fled happened to be the vacuum between the two ant colonies. He probably wanted to scare us away so he could get away.” Another Saint Ancestor avatar sneered.

"That's right. If it's a lone individual, or a small group like ours with only a few dozen people, it's less likely to alert too many of the demon-sucking ants and get trapped."

"Hmph, he's gambling! If we hesitate, he can easily slip through the gap between the two ant swarms and escape our pursuit!"

"Chase him! We can't let him succeed!"

After a brief discussion, the demon lords and the avatars of the Holy Ancestor in the demonic cloud unleashed their demonic powers, and with their combined strength, their escape speed increased by more than double. In the blink of an eye, they caught up with Lu Yuan and were hundreds of miles behind him.
