Chapter 497: Slaying a Few More

Yun Ye understood the situation in the Kingdom of Cangpan through the lingering memories of the small village and the Ghost Tiger’s memories.

This was a well-organized demon kingdom, where every demon soldier had a specific team dedicated to breeding humans, so they were quite experienced.

In this demon kingdom, they devoured about a million humans each year, leaving behind countless bones—a truly unforgivable act.

"The Kingdom of Cangpan as the first stop is not a good omen!"

Yun Ye vanished.

The Kingdom of Cangpan was so well-prepared that they were just shy of gathering forces to attack human nations. They simply hadn’t done so yet because there were no human nations nearby.

The Wind Dynasty had also been destroyed early on by demon beasts, just like the Luo Dynasty; now there were only a few stray cats and dogs, hardly enough to spark the interest of the demon kingdom.

Moreover, the local demons of the Wind Dynasty were no pushovers either; as long as resources were temporarily sufficient, the three great demon kings had no desire to move.

"What kind of invincible beings might emerge in the central areas of the two realms of heaven and earth, now that multiple national-destroying demons are appearing at the borders?"

"Master, be careful,"

Tomorrow said.

Yun Ye suddenly stopped, taking a moment to examine Tomorrow from head to toe.

From her initial form as a little girl, Tomorrow had grown into a woman around twenty, quite mature now. It seemed the time had come for him to change his way of addressing her.

"Tomorrow, just call me Yun Ye from now on. Compared to master and friend, I prefer the term family, so just using my surname is enough."

"Yun Ye? Wouldn’t that reveal your identity?"

"We can communicate entirely through our consciousness, and this is within the protection of the Rebirth Book."

"Now I see. Then I will call you Yun Ye from now on."

Tomorrow gladly accepted the change. She had no biases about how to address him. To her, "Dao" was merely a useful "tool" in human concepts, so calling its possessor a master was nothing more than a reference to whether it was the ruling Dao or the Tomorrow Dao—it was all just "Dao equipment."

……

On Spirit Mountain, a giant black tiger, thirty meters long, lounged, surrounded by large jars filled with humans smeared in sauce. It grabbed a jar, tilted it into its mouth, and crunched down with its sharp teeth.

These jars contained delicacies prepared in various ways, each with different flavors, showcasing the tiger’s known enjoyment of food.

While the black tiger ate, it laughed heartily, enjoying the fine wines nearby: “This is a divine life! Hahaha! The demon kingdom is splendid, and this blood food is perfect!”

"Fill it up, fill it up! Quickly serve the general more wine!"

Amid its feasting, a demon soldier shouted, commanding those who could barely be called soldiers to frequently bring food, ensuring the general’s enjoyment.

Suddenly, the soldier felt a terrifying aura behind them, causing their hairs to stand on end as they almost knelt down in fear. But the black tiger swiftly crushed the soldier and tossed them into its mouth to chew. Then, a roar echoed through Spirit Mountain:

"Who dares kill my son? Do you look down upon me, the Ghost Tiger? Bring me my weapon!"

As the roar resonated, a surge of dark energy filled the air, and the black tiger’s elite soldiers trembled in fear, quickly dispersing to fetch the general’s weapon.

This black tiger was a disaster beast, so its weapon was quite unique—crafted from its own shed fur, it was thirty meters long, resembling a dark beam of light. In its hands, the weapon shifted and changed, truly a fearsome sight.

Rising to its feet, the black tiger held its weapon like a human, soon tearing through space to attack in a certain direction. The presence of its target was unmistakably strong; if it didn’t go now, wouldn’t that be seen as fear?

"What is the black tiger going crazy about? Did it get injured? —Gugugu."

A black chicken remarked.

“Ha, that’s about right! That Ghost Tiger lost its head, which is like a clean cut. Taking down another troublesome one is just a matter of time,” the statue-like demon scales said.

Although the Ghost Tiger was a powerful entity, many demons did not have to be alive to reproduce; it was just a matter of the cost involved.

“Angry, angry, angry! The Ghost Tiger is definitely furious and is coming to eat its attacker,” a not-so-smart demon elephant commented.

“I can see that,” the great generals said as a black beam of light flashed by, flying towards the Ghost Tiger’s territory to seek revenge.

They focused their gazes and watched from hundreds or even thousands of miles away.

“Let’s make a bet on when the Ghost Tiger will finish the fight.”

“There’s support on the other side; at most, it will take one strike!”

“Alright, I bet the Ghost Tiger will kill it in one strike!”

“You’re crazy! I meant that human goat will die in one strike!”

The Ghost Tiger, weapon in hand, quickly reached the source of the aura. It squinted and was surprised to find that it was indeed a human goat!

Instantly filled with doubt, the mighty tiger hesitated to launch its prized weapon.

To be able to kill in its territory while remaining unscathed would mean the target had some kind of support, so while the Ghost Tiger appeared to come charging in full force, it actually wanted to throw the powerful treasure given by the White Tiger King to strike it down in one blow. This would serve both as revenge and a display of power—a classic case of hitting two birds with one stone.

But the target was a human goat!

Could there still be a great demon of this sort?

It looked ordinary; its strength might not pose a problem. Could it be that this allowed for saving the powerful treasure?

As these thoughts swirled in its mind, Yun Ye had already appeared above the Ghost Tiger. With a gentle tap, ripples spread out, and the Ghost Tiger’s consciousness swiftly turned to ash. By the time it realized what was happening, its thoughts were already fragmented, and confusion flashed in its eyes.

“Eh? What happened… I…”

At that point, even the Ghost Tiger’s great magical power could do nothing more. Its soul had completely perished, leaving behind only a corpse.

The killing power gained by the Ghost Tiger ignored distance and instantly descended upon Yun Ye’s main body far away in Tomorrow Nation. The universe quietly expanded.

With a single fingertip from Yun Ye, ripples formed that enveloped the body, ensuring no demonic energy leaked out to create a falling phenomenon.

He used the universe to swallow the corpse, gazing towards an area in the distance filled with numerous eyes—seven demon generals were visible.

“In chaotic times, seven demon generals mean three demon kings must have fallen. Although these demons have killed many of their kind and possess superiors strength within their ranks, they are still far from my level and should be manageable,” Yun Ye said.

“Easy to deal with? As long as you don’t directly unleash your ultimate power, your strength is limited. You may not be able to kill three national-destroyers, so don’t hesitate to use my power when needed,” Tomorrow reminded. Her singular attitude towards all demons was one of complete extermination.

“I can’t help it; there are still many people alive. The sooner I resolve this, the more I can save,” Yun Ye replied as he stepped closer to those seven demon generals.

The seven demon generals felt an icy chill run through them. Though all were disaster beasts who had died once, they now felt fear deep in their souls at the presence of this human goat…

So terrifying!

It was countless times more monstrous than they were!

With just a single glance, they knew this was no ordinary human goat but a true prodigy among prodigies; they were no match for it!

“Don’t retreat! Even if we can’t win, we shouldn’t back down! If the king awakens, we will all die!”

“All demon soldiers, heed my command—kill!!”
