Chapter 499: Slaying the Demon King in Seconds

The White Tiger King was beheaded in just two moves, showing not a hint of revival. He was truly dead, and even his body vanished in the next moment.

A boiling sense of despair spread through the air.

Demons.

Each group had its differences.

Not all races possessed intelligence.

Therefore, aiming for unity seemed almost impossible. Even the Grand Demon Judgment Court could only represent a portion of the demons at best.

However, on the flip side, once unity was achieved, the extreme advancement of their bodies and souls could lead to boundless loyalty or absolute betrayal.

The Kingdom of Cangpan had existed for roughly a hundred years, featuring a complete order. The rule of the Three Great Demon Kings had deeply permeated the hearts of its inhabitants, winning over most demons with intelligence.

In this situation, after the White Tiger King was slain, although all the demons initially felt despair, soon their anger transformed into a strong desire for vengeance against their master’s execution.

They gnashed their teeth, wanting to act, extending their sharp claws, ready to charge forward like moths to a flame, seeking revenge for their king.

This was undoubtedly a path to death, yet many demon generals remained determined, as the bloodline within them held the instinct to fight for their group.

However, the killer stood high in the sky, remaining motionless. Even so, the many demon soldiers and generals did not move.

Not because they didn’t want to.

But because they couldn’t.

The world in their eyes had grown dark from the very beginning, enveloped in utter blackness, devoid of any light, their bodies frozen in the shadows!

Then, within this dimming world, a vast transparent spirit energy emerged moments later, flowing from all directions and converging toward one presence.

The spirit energy gathered into layers of white mist, visible to the naked eye, yet silently disappeared into the darkness, before the singular source of light.

It was the human youth who had destroyed the White Tiger King in just two moves.

At this moment, the term "human goat" vanished; they finally remembered the true name of this group, countless beings who overshadowed the Red Heaven…

The human race!

“Wow~~~~”

What was meant to be a grand and earth-shattering spectacle of spirit energy swirling was, for some reason, flowing naturally, like a fish swimming in water under the control of this youth.

The flowing spirit energy caused the demons to completely lose control of their senses, their minds being taken away. One by one, they seemed to exit their souls and enter a world of torment, where each second was like a searing fire, scorching their souls and granting them a sense of tranquility amidst excruciating pain.

One by one, the colors faded from the eyes of the demons as they vanished into thin air.

Yun Ye unleashed a Spirit Law that affected the entire demon kingdom, starting with controlling all the demons and gradually eliminating threats. This was a rather delicate task, as many humans were present. He couldn’t use one massive psychic explosion to annihilate them all; he could only eliminate them one by one.

This process was undoubtedly draining on his magic power, forcing Yun Ye to consume spirit energy in large quantities.

Simultaneously, the vast spirit energy naturally formed a barrier, isolating the demon kingdom from the outside world, preventing the Grand Demon Judgment Court from intervening.

Subduing these demons was merely the passive effect of the barrier.

“The more demons I eliminate, the more energy I gather. The stronger the king of the Manifest Realm becomes, and this demon kingdom has three nation-ending demons. Though not as abundant as the tendrils of the World God, they will still be marked and conflict with our purpose.”

Tomorrow could explore the detailed rules of heaven and earth, so Yun Ye was taught methods of evasion. This kind of barrier was not something that could be conjured without significant effort.

Yun Ye feared not the Grand Demon Judgment Court, but if his location were discovered, it would lead to many troubles. Keeping everything shrouded in mist was the simplest solution.

The Great Disaster: Annihilation of the Demon Kings

It was said to be a precise annihilation, yet everything occurred in just a few seconds.

Decades of chaos, countless disasters, and endless turmoil in the entire demon kingdom ended in mere moments.

The corpses were instantly consumed by the remnants of the universe, transforming into nourishing materials for the rapidly expanding Heavenly Dry Universe.

The entire Spirit Mountain of Cangpan fell into complete silence, while numerous humans, unsure of what to do, remained paralyzed by habit, too afraid to move, fearing it might be a trap.

After Yun Ye issued his instructions, these humans suddenly understood the situation and gathered together, waiting quietly for things to conclude.

As for escaping down the mountain…

Given the size of Cangpan Mountain, it would take the common people several years to descend, and they might easily die from various dangers along the way. It would just be wasting their lives.

“This Demon King of the Kingdom of Cangpan is quite careless; he hasn’t woken up even now. Does he want to die in his sleep?”

Yun Ye was quite satisfied, as this provided him time to fully recover his power.

“Demons need long years to grow; most choose to sleep to preserve their vitality and survive longer. Moreover, the king of this demon kingdom specially set up a barrier, so it’s not surprising that he can’t be awakened.”

Tomorrow shrugged, “Isn’t dying in one’s sleep a good thing? According to the memories from these chaotic times, the positions of the two great demon kings are quite clear; it would be perfect to eliminate them in one go.”

“That’s true.” Yun Ye raised his hand, merging the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth with a thunderous spear, and hurled it toward a specific location.

—Boom!

The auras of the two nation-ending demons swirled upward, unexpectedly dodging this blow. They had already prepared, and Yun Ye did not achieve a successful ambush.

A giant snake and a toad appeared. Though originally massive, they quickly shrank when facing Yun Ye to reduce their hit area.

The two nation-ending demons glanced at the sealed world, their killing intent surging…

If they didn’t kill this man, they wouldn’t escape!

“Kill!”

The two demon kings traversed the space, aiming to annihilate Yun Ye on the spot, unleashing True Laws-level abilities in a fierce eruption.

The tail of the Cangpan King swung, as if everything in the world was being drawn to this point. Yun Ye found himself standing before it, and immediately, a tremendous force erupted that shattered space. The immense demon essence gathered around its body, and with one swing of its tail, aimed to crush Yun Ye instantly.

Yun Ye took a step forward, his footsteps mysteriously echoing again. The Cangpan King’s movements froze in place; he waved his hand casually, condensing a black hole that pressed down on its long tail, forcibly crossing over a significant boundary to send the Cangpan King flying, scattering bloodied scales everywhere.

“No… no…”

After being flung away, the shadows of death enveloped all its senses.

It realized that despite appearing to have sustained minimal injuries, from the moment of the strike to its tail, its soul was being erased, and it couldn’t resist at all.

In an instant, the Cangpan King’s eyes went hollow as its soul was struck down.

It fell just like that, the vast demon essence keeping its body suspended in the sky, exploding outward as demonic energy radiated from its shell.

A terrifying phenomenon erupted in the heavens!

At that moment, the Nine-Headed King also launched its attacks. It sensed the Cangpan King’s weakening aura, seemingly dead in an instant, but now that it was in front of Yun Ye, it couldn’t stop. Nine swords, capable of piercing through anything, suddenly shot out, aiming to pin Yun Ye down.

But Yun Ye was too fast. Taking a single step, the Nine-Headed King’s nine eyes widened slightly, its face suddenly revealing a hollow point penetrating through its body.

Slain in seconds!

The Nine-Headed King suffered half its brain’s destruction, its soul not yet entirely extinguished. It managed one last question:

“We have no grievances or enmity. Who exactly are you? Why do you wish to destroy my demon kingdom?”

“Enslaving my people, why should I not eliminate you?”

Yun Ye glanced at it lightly, replying.

“Ah, so you are the human king. Then there is nothing more to be done. But while you can devour my demon kingdom, there will always be demons capable of devouring you. I will be waiting for you in hell, human king…”

The final spark of the Nine-Headed King’s soul extinguished, with vast amounts of demon essence losing control and surging skyward, forming an extraordinary sky phenomenon.

Yun Ye accepted this high-purity energy without rejection. As the universe contracted and expanded, he devoured both demon kings entirely.

Originally, the separated remnants of the universe did not even result in any planets, but after absorbing three nation-ending demons, the world dynamically opened and evolved, quickly recreating a universe space the size of a planet, with astonishing results.
