I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

The outer edge of the Tianqi Mountains, to the east.

The enormous cyan dragon phantom, like a totem, shone in the sky.

This represents the Azure Nether Demon Emperor of the Eastern Heavenly Domain.

The Demon Emperor himself did not come in person; instead, two great demon gods from the Eastern Heaven Domain, Wind Feather Demon God and Thunder Shadow Demon God, arrived.

Both demon gods are spiritual beings.

The Thunder Shadow Demon God resembled the Lightning God Child whom Shen Ming had dealt with before; his figure flashed like lightning.

However, the Wind Feather Demon God possesses the qualities of both a human and a god, and his movements are as light as the wind.

Behind the two demon gods was a floating mountain, inhabited by demons from the Eastern Heaven Domain, all of whom were in the realm of gods.

However, there are only three Lesser Demon Gods.

A burly man, his muscles as solid as if cast from rock, his bare upper body covered in scarlet demonic patterns, like burning flames, faintly revealing the flickering glow of fire.

The other figure was tall and slender, with a pale and cold face, long white hair flowing like clouds, and deep black demonic patterns covering his skin.

The last one was tall and mighty, with a pair of light blue curved horns. Amidst the pervasive demonic aura, faint lightning crackled on the horns.

The three demon gods are Chi Yan, You Bai, and Cang Xiao.

The three minor demon gods represent the characteristics of the demon race in the Eastern Heaven Domain, and most of them are spiritual beings.

In the lower realm, they are not considered demons, but spirits.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the Divine Court has subdivided the various races into powerful races, alien races, and spirit races.

It's to prevent their various ethnic groups from uniting together.

Because demons are not a specific race, but a concept of a non-human race.

The Divine Court promised the Jade Capital to all races, and thus the Demon Court was born.

"The nine sects of the human race are increasingly disregarding us; this time, non-sect disciples are making up almost half of them!"

"What we want is a hunt, not a slaughter!"

Chi Yan and You Bai were eager to try, their eyes flashing with a fierce light.

Cangxiao remained silent, gazing at the Tianqi Mountains.

The other two lesser demon gods, seeing him like this, must have thought of something.

"This time, the human woman from the Taihao Sect is also in the Tianqi Mountains, right?" Chi Yan asked.

“Cangxiao, don’t act on emotion, or the other three realms will have something to use against you,” Youbai said.

It is difficult for demonic beasts to develop feelings for humans. Spiritual beings are different; they have no concept of race.

Therefore, the other three regions have always believed that the demons of the Eastern Heaven Domain cannot be considered true demons.

In particular, Cangxiao once engaged in a life-or-death battle with a female swordsman from the Taihao Sect, and later, unbeknownst to many, they went through a crisis together.

In the end, Cang Xiao deliberately missed the opportunity and let the female sword cultivator go, which caused quite a controversy in the Demon Court.

This time, they will meet again in the Tianqi Mountains.

The other three days of the Demon Court will definitely take action.

“I know.” Cang Xiao didn’t say anything more.

Chi Yan and You Bai looked at each other helplessly, both knowing each other's personality, and could only silently hope that things wouldn't be too bad.

A sudden, deep, ancient drumbeat, like rolling thunder, resounded above the Tianqi Mountains.

"here we go!"

Deep in the sky, a dark vortex slowly emerged.

Immediately, the sea of ​​clouds surged violently in all directions, like a storm sweeping across the land, and four vast and boundless demonic energies rose up from different directions.

The demonic aura surged, as if an ancient battlefield of demons had reappeared in the world.

Some of the demons have already transformed into human form, but their demonic aura is overwhelming. Some are clad in armor, while others wear flowing robes, and each has a unique demonic mark between their brows.

Some have vertical pupils, like the eyes of a dragon, cold and cruel.

Some people had bluish skin with scales that shimmered with lightning; with each step they took, lightning would explode beneath their feet.

Some demons even have nine fox tails swaying gently behind them, exuding an extremely alluring charm and a captivating demonic power with every move they make.

Some deliberately maintain a half-human, half-beast appearance, exuding a terrifying demonic aura, and intentionally displaying the power of their bloodline to highlight the arrogance of the demon race.

Some people have bodies like golden eagles, sharp beaks on their heads, and golden wings that can cover the sky a thousand feet high when they are spread out, with storms roaring when they flap their wings.

The demon race, these spiritual beings in the Eastern Heaven Domain, seemed out of place.

There was also a lot of tension between them.

"This time, I will tear Wen Qingshu, the sword disciple of the Taihao Sect, to shreds."

The speaker was a minor demon god from the Western Heaven Domain, whose true form was Cang Suan, a fearsome ancient demon beast.

Despite taking on human form, the arrogance and oppressive aura emanating from the depths of his demonic blood could not be concealed.

Cang Suan was still tall and robust, with shoulders and back like rocks and arms like pillars supporting the sky, as if every inch of his flesh contained a brute force capable of destroying the world.

His eyes had a deep, dark gold hue, with pupils that stood upright like a beast's, and a sharp, piercing gaze.

"Don't let any of the Taihao Sect disciples escape either," Cang Suan said.

"Yes!"

The demons of the Western Heaven responded in unison, their voices full of provocation.

“Cang Suan, our Eastern Heavenly Domain is going to turn the Tianqi Mountains into a bloodbath this time. You don’t need to do this here.”

"It's Youbai from the Eastern Heaven Domain," he said coldly.

Cang Suan snorted coldly, still staring intently at Cang Xiao.

These two have similar names, but they are actually mortal enemies, the kind who can't stand each other.

Now that Cang Suan says he's going to target Taihao Sect, he's aiming at Cang Xiao.

The unclear relationship between Cangxiao and Wen Qing of Taihao Sect caused quite a stir in the Demon Court.

Faced with such provocation, Cang Xiao remained unmoved, as if he didn't care about the fate of the Taihao Sect.

The demon hunters found it boring and turned their attention to the Tianqi Mountains.

"Humans are becoming increasingly perfunctory, mistaking the Demon Court's magnanimity for benevolence, or even weakness."

"This time, we'll teach them a lesson they won't forget! We'll slaughter the humans of the Apocalypse Mountains until their blood flows like rivers."

"Right on my mind."

The demons reached a consensus to carry out a merciless massacre.

Therefore, they specially prepared a treasure to break the formation.

"This is the Sky-Splitting Claw, a treasure once belonging to the True Dragon Clan. It can tear apart not only formations, but even the void itself."

"The Celestial Fox's Spiritual Eyes can expose even the most human beings!"

Formations are a field that humans excel at, and in the past, the demon race has indeed rarely put much effort into breaking formations.

But this time it's different; all four Heavenly Domains of the Demon Court have been allocated a Sky-Splitting Claw.

This item can break through the sect's protective array, let alone temporary arrays.

……

In the mountains, after several days, Shen Ming had already set up the sword formation.

The sword formation is the outer layer, while the Great Luo Formation is the inner layer.

Although the Great Luo Formation Diagram is centered on the Great Luo Dao Temple, it imitates the Heaven-Sealing Formation Diagram of the Holy Emperor Academy.

It's worth mentioning that everything in the upper realm is different, including the power of the formations.

Fortunately, Shen Ming is a genius in formations, one in ten thousand.

Most importantly, they were incredibly wealthy and could easily construct the grand formation by using all sorts of rare and precious materials.

"Brother Shen, what's the deal with this formation?"

Han Lie and his men had properly set up the core of their battle formation.

Therefore, they have some knowledge of formations.

Being inside Shen Ming's formation gave me an indescribable sense of unease.

I had a feeling that this great formation was going to blow them into the sky any second now.

Each array pattern seemed poised to explode at any moment, yet remained in a delicate balance.

They all suspected that Shen Ming was planning to perish together with the demon race.
