Fighting: Xiao Yan at full level, leading the whole match

"His all-out attack, burning with divine power, directly caused me to lose ten percent of my divine power. If I don't retreat now, I'm afraid I will truly perish here today."

The voice of the Great Demon God of Destruction was transmitted through the Great Dao to the ears of the other six Great Demon Gods, causing the six Great Demon Gods who were originally fighting to be slightly startled, and an expression of disbelief appeared in their eyes.

"What did you say? Xiao Yan possesses strength that is very close to that of the Great Demon God of Destruction?"

The six demon gods could hardly believe their ears. A newly promoted Dao Integration Realm cultivator actually possessed strength approaching that of the Great Demon God of Destruction.

It should be understood that in this era, the Great Demon God of Destruction is the ceiling of combat power in the entire universe. Among the eighteen Dao Integration Realm cultivators, including Xiao Yan, there are those whose strength is very close to his, and even those who are almost comparable to him, but none of them have surpassed him.

It's truly unbelievable that Xiao Yan, a newly promoted Dao Integration Realm cultivator, possesses strength approaching that of the Great Demon God of Destruction.

"Stop talking nonsense and retreat to the Dark Abyss! If we don't retreat now, those three are really going to kill me!"

The Skeleton Demon God roared and, disregarding his own territory, fled madly toward the Dark Abyss.

He was besieged by Xiao Yan, the Great Thousand Emperor, and the Profound Abyss Emperor, and had already lost a full 15% of his divine power. Now, with his divine power burning, he had burned another 5% of his divine power, leaving him with only 80% of his divine power.

Eighty percent of divine power may seem like a lot, but in a battle at this level, it is actually an extremely dangerous thing.

It is important to understand that in battles between gods, once divine power is reduced to only 30%, it means that one's life is in danger. And if divine power is completely exhausted, then death will be the next step.

Therefore, upon realizing that more than 20% of his divine power had been depleted, the Skeleton Demon God did not hesitate at all and fled even faster, heading straight for the Dark Abyss.

"Damn it, the three of them working together actually have a chance to kill the skeleton!"

The six Great Demon Gods sensed through the Great Dao that the Skeleton Great Demon God was fleeing towards the Dark Abyss, and their expressions turned extremely grim.

The Dark Abyss is an ancient place that appeared at the beginning of the universe. It is the gathering place of all negative energy in the entire universe. The Dark Great Demon God and the Destruction Great Demon God were both innate demon gods born from it, and then gradually grew into great demon gods of the Dao Integration Realm.

This is a sacred place for demonic beings, where every demon god can unleash even greater power.

However, retreating to the abyss of darkness meant that they had already lost.

Since the beginning of the conflict between the righteous and demonic paths, for nearly ten million years, the demonic path and the righteous path have always been evenly matched. Even when the righteous path had more Dao Integration Realm cultivators than them, they were never afraid.

Because they are both at the Dao Integration Realm, it is difficult for the other party to cause them real harm.

But this time it was different. Xiao Yan's appearance meant that the righteous faction truly had the extra power to kill a great demon god.

If we do not retreat to the Dark Abyss now, then this battle will truly result in the fall of a Great Demon God at the Dao Integration Realm.

The demonic faction already has even fewer powerful individuals, so if the Skeleton Demon God truly falls, they will be able to free up more manpower to deal with the next Demon God.

With this ebb and flow, the demonic faction will eventually be truly destroyed.

"Retreat! Let's retreat!"

"Damn it, we've really messed up this time!"

The great demons wore expressions of resentment, yet they were helpless.

They currently have four fewer Dao Integration Realm experts than the righteous faction. Even if the Great Demon God of Destruction could take on two of them, they would still be far from being a match for the righteous faction.

At this moment, they had no choice but to leave the battlefield and flee towards the dark abyss.

Xiao Yan and the other eleven Dao Integration Realm cultivators from the righteous path naturally wanted to take advantage of the situation and pursued the seven Great Demon Gods relentlessly until they were forced into the Dark Abyss before finally stopping.

The Dark Abyss is an extremely strange place that gathers more than half of the negative energy in the entire universe. Its entrance is a bizarre and distorted place like a black hole, where the terrifying tearing sensation is enough to tear an ordinary god apart in an instant.

Within it, endless negative energy gathered, and even the eleven Dao Integration Realm cultivators felt immense pressure.

"A bunch of cowards, if you're so capable, then hide in this dark abyss for the rest of your lives."

Emperor Xuanyuan coldly transmitted his voice, which traveled through the eerie black hole and enraged the seven great demon gods, causing their eyes to turn red.

But they had no choice. If they went out to fight now, they would be beaten to a pulp anyway. The only way to be absolutely safe was to hide in the dark abyss.

Here, their strength is 20-30% greater than outside, while the righteous gods are suppressed here. With this disparity, even if all eleven Dao Integration Realm cultivators were to enter at the same time, they would probably be at a disadvantage.

However, hiding in the dark abyss also means that they have already ceded a large portion of their territory to the outside world.

Therefore, after Emperor Xuanyuan shouted this, and the seven great demon gods did not respond, the eleven Dao Integration Realm cultivators exchanged glances and then smiled.

"Hahaha!"

"Won!"

"In this battle, we held an absolute advantage and won decisively!"

The faces of the Dao Integration Realm cultivators all showed joy.

The two sides fought each other for nearly ten million years. This was the first time in history that the demonic faction had been forced to retreat into the dark abyss.

This is nothing short of a milestone victory in the struggle between the righteous and the demonic paths.

And all of this is because a new powerhouse has emerged on their side.

Emperor Yan, Xiao Yan!
Thinking of this, many Dao Integration Realm cultivators turned their gazes to Xiao Yan with smiles.

"Xiao Yan, we couldn't have done this without you."

"Yes, your strength has actually reached this level. You can even severely injure the Skeleton Demon God. No wonder you said before that the more territory you have, the better."

"Haha, with Xiao Yan's strength, any part of the starry sky he can reach within ten breaths can become his territory!"

One by one, the powerful beings at the Dao Integration Realm congratulated Xiao Yan with smiles, but in their hearts, they couldn't help but feel a little amazed.

It should be noted that the reason why the Skeleton Demon God was seriously injured and escaped after being killed by the three was known not only to the seven Demon Gods, but also to the other Dao Integration Realm cultivators who learned about it immediately after being notified by the Great Thousand Emperor and the Profound Abyss Emperor.

When they learned that Xiao Yan was able to severely injure the Skeleton Demon God by burning his divine power, their hearts were also filled with shock.

As cultivators at the Dao Integration Realm, they knew all too well how difficult it was to seriously injure a powerhouse of the same level.

Although Xiao Yan's move, aided by Emperor Xuanyuan and Emperor Daqian, made the Skeleton Demon God's resistance more sluggish, its terrifying offensive power could not be ignored.

When it comes to direct offensive methods, Xiao Yan is absolutely very close to the Great Demon God of Destruction. In the righteous faction, perhaps people like Yuan Zun and the Sword God can be compared to him, but no one dares to say that they can absolutely surpass him.

Therefore, when the results of this battle came out, Xiao Yan not only won the congratulations of many Dao Integration Realm cultivators, but also their true respect.

Because his strength is no less than that of any Dao Integration Realm expert, and in terms of direct combat, he has even ranked among the top tier.

"Hehe, just lucky." Faced with the praise and flattery from so many Dao Integration Realm cultivators, Xiao Yan could only smile slightly.

In fact, while his power was terrifyingly strong, the divine power he burned was equally formidable.

Although the attack from a foot away severely injured the Skeleton Demon God, it also burned away half of his divine power.

Even if he were to fight to the death against the Skeleton Demon God, he himself would be severely injured.

Regardless, his strength was recognized by all those at the Dao Integration Realm.

A great battle has come to an end.

For the first time, the righteous faction crushed the demonic faction with absolute power. Although they did not kill any of the great demon gods, the significance of this victory was completely different from the past.

The victors in wars usually reap the rewards of their victory.

The demonic faction was truly utterly defeated this time, and was even forced to retreat to the Dark Abyss.

Although the eleven Dao Integration Realm cultivators of the righteous path could not directly and permanently guard the outside of the Dark Abyss, the seven Great Demon Gods dared not leave the Dark Abyss for too long.

If they stray too far and the righteous path finds an opportunity to kill one or two great demon gods, then they will truly be doomed.

Therefore, the territorial dispute has been resolved at this moment.

"Bones, slaughter, chaos—I will claim half of the territories of these three great demon gods!"

This is Xiao Yan's speech after his victory.

He transmitted the power of the Great Dao directly throughout the entire universe, reaching the ears of all those in the Dao Integration Realm and the Creation Realm.

At this moment, all three great demon gods turned red with rage.

"Xiao Yan, don't go too far!"

"Such a vast territory, you may not be able to defend it!"

The Great Skeleton Demon God hides in the abyss of darkness, but transmits his voice through the Great Dao.

"Heh, if you're not satisfied, come out and fight again, let's see who falls first!"

Xiao Yan responded with a cold laugh, which silenced the three demon gods.

The strength that Xiao Yan displayed in that battle was truly terrifying.

If it were a truly desperate battle, apart from the Great Demon God of Destruction, no other Great Demon God would be absolutely certain of defeating him.

Especially for relatively weaker great demons like the Skeleton Great Demon God, there is a greater risk of their demise.

In an instant, the demonic faction realized with despair that they were on the verge of certain defeat in this war.

Meanwhile, the righteous faction was celebrating wildly.

"We have gained so much from this battle."

"And Xiao Yan, your territory is also terrifyingly large."

In an ancient, vast world, eleven projections of Dao Integration Realm cultivators gathered together, already carrying out the next round of assignments.

This complete victory did not only benefit Xiao Yan in terms of territory; due to the defeat of the demonic faction, the territories of several other Dao Integration Realm cultivators bordering the demonic faction also expanded to some extent.

Of course, they are still far inferior to Xiao Yan.

This time, Xiao Yan directly seized half of the territories of the three Great Demon Gods. Combined, the territory under his command now exceeds that of most Dao Integration Realm cultivators.

Two hundred and thirty-eight great worlds, plus countless lower planes—this was Xiao Yan's harvest from this battle.

After the distribution of profits is complete, it's time to reap the rewards.

In a few flashes, Xiao Yan arrived in half of the territory of the three great demon gods.

Then, he began to clean up one great world after another.

In these great worlds, all the powerful demon gods have retreated. After all, these demon gods are the precious essence that the demonic faction has painstakingly accumulated. After the defeat in this battle, the great demon gods of the demonic faction have begun to retreat their true powerhouses to several great worlds near the Dark Abyss.

That's their real base of operations.

However, in the vast universe and countless worlds, they could not possibly withdraw all their powerful beings. Therefore, the demonic beings left behind suffered a complete disaster.

Many worlds that have been completely corrupted by demons are inhabited by beings born with demonic nature. Xiao Yan showed no mercy to such worlds, slamming his palm down and destroying the entire world. Then, the power of the Dao Integration Realm reshaped the entire world.

As for the great worlds and lower planes ruled by the demonic path, Xiao Yan simply had a thought, and a few flames swept by, instantly annihilating those demonic beings.

In just half a month, he cleansed more than two hundred great worlds and countless lower planes within his territory.

Meanwhile, other Dao Integration Realm experts dispatched some of their less core subordinates, or even gods without powerful backers, to Xiao Yan's territory.

These deities were placed by Xiao Yan in one great world after another, and he helped them refine a portion of the world's will, allowing them to directly possess the power of world gods.

Afterwards, Xiao Yan returned to the Yuanzun Realm and directly integrated the Flame God Realm into his body.

Now, he is a giant in the Dao Integration Realm, and his Endless World Body is almost complete. He can completely integrate the Flame God Realm into his body and then move it to a new territory.

From then on, the many territories that originally belonged to the Skeleton Demon God, the Chaos Demon God, and the Slaughter Demon God all became new territories under Xiao Yan's command. He also placed the Flame God Realm in the center of this territory, making it the core of this territory.

The three great demon gods were furious at this, but they dared not attack Xiao Yan again.

Because Xiao Yan's strength has surpassed that of the Chaotic Great Demon God and the Skeleton Great Demon God. Even compared to the Slaughter Great Demon God, he is by no means weaker, and his secret techniques are even stronger.

Coupled with the overwhelming power of the righteous faction, they were terrified of being entangled by Xiao Yan and being besieged by the righteous faction.

Those who cultivate the demonic path are always selfish and self-serving.

Compared to life, what is this territory?

Therefore, Xiao Yan truly gained a foothold and brought this vast territory under his control.

From that time onward, this realm was known as the Realm of the Flame God! (End of Chapter)
