Man covers the sky and conquers all worlds

Chapter 190 The Vanishing Illusory Beast (Part 2)

In a single battle, all the great demons at the Void Realm scattered across the Nine Provinces perished.

Although the power of the Blood Sea and the Styx River had already caused an explosive increase in the strength of the demon race on the land of Kyushu.

Most of the former Void Realm Great Demons have now entered the Void Cave Realm.

However... the fact that he killed a three-headed Void Demon in one battle was enough to seriously damage it.

Moreover, the demon race is inherently unruly and has a violent nature.

There are also many internal frictions and conflicts, which can easily lead to bloodshed.

It was already quite remarkable that, under the overall trend of unification, they were able to barely change direction and launch a unified attack on the human race of Kyushu from all directions.

Therefore, all eight major sects in Kyushu either consolidated their territories or were directly defeated, and the mastermind behind it all disappeared.

The conflict between the demon races was so intense that no one could contain it any longer.

It completely erupted!
Finally, relying on their respective combat strength, each of the great demons at the Void Realm had its own well-defined territory across the Nine Provinces.

And with the end of this battle.

The three-headed Void Demon King died in battle.

The land of Kyushu, which was originally shrouded in the dark cloud of the beast tide, also began to see the effects of this battle.

A vast vacuum of demonic power has emerged, spanning two states, with no powerful demon in charge.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Great Xia Imperial Court cultivated the secret realm method, and the number of the demon-hunting army, whose martial arts realm was originally concentrated in the acquired realm, surged to tens of thousands.

With their entire force mobilized, they were almost devoid of reason, leaving only low-level demonic beasts driven by pure destructive desires, resulting in heavy losses.

One by one, the blood crystals of demonic beasts, containing the essence of heaven and earth, were extracted from the chests and abdomens of these low-level demonic beasts and finally gathered in the Great Xia Imperial City, which served as the Demon-Suppressing Pass.

With the support of these vast resources, Gu Yong and his two companions, who were already at the Dao Palace realm, were able to open up at least one more divine treasure.

At the same time, within the Demon Suppression Pass, there were other former Innate Realm experts who, through the Transformation Secret Realm Technique and with the accumulation of massive resources, stepped into the Dao Palace Realm!

In terms of realm, he is comparable to a former Void Realm expert.

In terms of combat power, because he cultivates two major systems at the same time, his strength far surpasses that of the Void Realm!

Even if an ordinary innate martial artist who has converted to cultivation has only opened up a Dao Palace Divine Treasury, their combat power is comparable to that of a Void Realm cultivator who has mastered 50% of the power of heaven and earth.

This means that cultivators at the Dao Palace level of the human race are fighting against ordinary Void Realm demonic beasts.

The physical advantages that monsters are born with are almost completely eliminated.

In this massive, epic counter-offensive...

Qingzhou, which borders Yangzhou, was once a large state ruled by the Xiaoyao Sect, one of the eight major sects of the human race.

Finally, a year later, half of it was recovered.

Unfortunately, of the hundreds of millions of residents who once lived within half of Qingzhou, only a few hundred thousand remain today.

Furthermore, they were scattered into settlements of varying sizes, ranging from dozens to tens of thousands, nestled deep within the towering mountains.

They barely survived the beast tide, either by virtue of their considerable strength or by taking advantage of the natural barriers and concealment provided by nature.

It wasn't until the Great Xia Imperial Court's demon-hunting army surged in like a tidal wave that they were finally rescued.

Even so, the human race's situation was extremely dire.

The once densely populated city has long since turned into ruins and overgrown weeds.

Signs of human civilization have almost completely vanished into barbarity!
Driven by a shared hatred of the enemy, the survivors began to cultivate the secret arts of the realm and joined the demon-hunting army.

Driven by hatred, they slaughtered countless demons once more!

Meanwhile, the actions of the Great Xia Imperial Court's demon-hunting army were also discovered by the Void Demon King who occupied half of Qingzhou.

Although after nearly conquering the entire Nine Provinces, the various Void Realm Great Demons either broke apart or banded together.

If there are no groups among them, then they will almost completely cut off contact.

But unlike those low-level demonic beasts whose brains are filled with blood and energy, turning them into tools of slaughter.

This group of great demons, who were originally in the Void Realm, have now entered the Void Cave Realm.

Having survived on this ancient and vast land for countless millennia, its sensitivity to every rustle of wind and the slightest movement is terrifying.

With almost no cost, he thoroughly investigated the many events that had occurred in Kyushu over the past year.

Qingzhou, the site of the former Xiaoyao Palace.

A colossal city, even taller and more rugged than the original city, rose from the ground, piercing the clouds.

The giant city was not yet completed. Countless pale-faced human warriors carried huge logs and boulders on their shoulders, their hands and feet bound by steel shackles.

Like endless ants, they densely covered this huge construction site.

On the edge of the construction site, a few intelligent demons, uncorrupted by bloodlust, wandered around.

If any human dares to slack off, or tries to escape.

If captured, they would be tortured to death in the most cruel way, eventually becoming food for the captives.

Of course, that will happen when the city is completely completed.

The vast majority of these human warriors of this generation will also be slaughtered and turned into food.

Only a small number of those who would not resist were left behind to become "breeding pigs" in the monster's cage!
To breed new blood food for them.

Especially the Blood Wolf Venerable deep within this giant city, who devours thousands of children every day!

They need to continuously provide the Venerable One of the Void Realm with fresh and tender meat from human children.

Deep within the giant city, Blood Wolf sat on a throne made of pure gold, his two eyes hanging in the air like blood moons, illuminating the entire palace.

Tread!

Amidst a violent wailing, a ruthless-looking human approached obsequiously, dragging a prison cart behind him.

Inside the prison cart were human children who had been thoroughly washed.

boom!
The prison cart opened with a roar, and the humans who were pulling it knelt down in the most humble posture.
"Blood Venerable, it's time for your meal today!"

"Um……"

The giant wolf lowered its eyelids slightly, and the entire palace suddenly dimmed, but two dark red wisps of mist shot out.

laugh!
A streak of blood shot out, and the wailing and screaming inside the palace came to an abrupt halt.

A spear-like claw suddenly shot out, impaling a string of bloodied children. The giant wolf's barbed tongue curled slightly, swallowing them all whole before it even slightly raised its eyelids.
"The Great Xia Dynasty, the Secret Realm, the Human Emperor... Is this... still the Kyushu I know?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but connect these qualities with that mysterious master who was so enigmatic and lifted up the entire demon race.

A ripple stirred in my heart.
"Could it be... that they come from the same place as their master?"

The beings of the Nine Cauldrons World, especially ancient beings like him.

Although he had never been to outer space, he was not entirely ignorant about it.

After all, the strongest beings throughout history have all ultimately shattered the void and stepped into the heavens.

Therefore, they firmly believed in the existence of the outer world.

"But... I can't just sit here and wait to die any longer!"

With a deafening roar like thunder, it finally straightened up slowly from the soft human skin blanket.

"Since we're here, why hide?"

boom! boom! boom……

The moment the sound faded, the entire palace trembled. A short while later, the colossal gate, hundreds of feet high, was slowly pushed open, and a massive, snow-white lion with blood-red eyes walked in.

A terrifying pressure poured in like a tidal wave. Blood Silk's mane rippled slightly as he calmly gazed at the giant wolf.

"Did you notice it too?"

"If I still can't realize the danger when things are already at their most critical, then I might as well just wait here to die."

Blood Wolf yawned, flicked out a sharp claw, and scraped a bit of flesh from between its teeth.

After picking the bits of meat out of his teeth, he said somewhat lazily,
"I remember that within your far northern grasslands, there seems to be only the Snow Eagle Sect, a sect with a sparse and ordinary influence. Even after swallowing it, no new Void Realm cultivators have emerged?"

As it spoke, a hint of pride lingered in its heart.

After all, he single-handedly destroyed the Xiaoyao Palace.

They occupied almost the entire Qingzhou region.

But the Snow Eagle Sect... is no match for the Carefree Palace.

Furthermore, the two had a life-or-death conflict before this.

If it weren't for that mysterious and unpredictable master who forcibly restrained the two beasts, it's likely that a life-or-death battle would have occurred the very first moment they entered the deepest part of the void.

Now, seeing that no new Void Realm Great Demon has been born under its command, it is evident that one of its subordinates is already showing signs of this.

It felt incredibly proud.

The Blood Wolves' lord once told all the Void Realm Great Demons that if they could cultivate new Void Realm Demon Beasts, they would have the qualification to shatter the void.

Shattering the void...

For tens of thousands of years in the world of Kyushu, not a single demon has ever reached that realm.

Faced with the mockery in Blood Wolf's words, Snow Lion made no attempt to hide his sarcasm, simply saying calmly,

"On the snowy plains... there is a Heavenly God Mountain, whose strength is unfathomable. Even I was injured by it."

Tian Shen Mountain was the very mountain that Pei San originally left behind as a backup plan and foundation for attacking Mani Temple.

It possesses more than one Void Realm level expert.

Until the outbreak of the monster chaos, there were not many monsters left on the far northern grasslands.

Therefore, only this one Void-Piercing Demon was born.

Clearly, it suffered a significant loss due to the contingency plans left by Pei San.

At this point, Snow Lion continued speaking without pausing.
"But... I discovered a great secret, a secret cultivation method that spread from Yangzhou, which my demon race... can also cultivate!"

boom!
The moment the sound faded, an even more terrifying pressure spread out, and the entire magnificent and rugged palace collapsed with a crash.

"You...what do you want to do?"

Feeling the terrifying power that far surpassed his own, Blood Wolf finally felt some fear.

“My lord has instructed me to take you to him… as long as you have a breath left.”

The blood lion bared its ferocious fangs.

Rumble!
Two enormous figures, each as large as a mountain peak, collided.

The palace is collapsing, the earth is shattering, and the sky is wailing...

After a long while, amidst the endless howls of living beings, the blood wolf had its limbs broken and was completely unable to resist.

A thick iron chain pierced his chest and dragged him behind Xue Shi, step by step, heading north.

……

Half a month later, the Great Xia Imperial Court's demon-hunting army, after careful planning, launched its attack.

Finally, with Gu Yong and the Martial Pavilion Elders holding the line, they stormed into the giant city with lightning speed.

All that was left for them was a ruin.

The two, who had already opened up three divine treasures, both changed their expressions drastically, thinking that all of this was a conspiracy by that Void Demon.

Therefore, an emergency plan was activated, and the demon-hunting army was withdrawn in the most proactive defensive posture.

It is known that after each member of the demon-hunting army returned to Yangzhou, they did not encounter any large-scale ambush by the demon race.

Finally, members of a demon-hunting team rescued the human survivors from the ruins.

They learned from the survivors that it was a false alarm.

The demon beast that ruled half of Qingzhou had clashed with another great demon half a month ago, was severely injured, and disappeared without a trace.

Despite this news, they remain in the most cautious position.

It took several more months to take over and clear out the major cities of Qingzhou.

Knowing the expansion momentum of the Great Xia Imperial Court at this time, he slowly relaxed.

It wasn't that they were unwilling, but rather that they were unable to expand.

Simply because of the vastness of these two states,

It has already surpassed one of the continents on Earth.

With fewer than 30 million survivors scattered throughout, they could only fill a portion of the major cities.

As for the vast majority of small towns, they were simply abandoned and occupied by those irrational demon races.

The Great Xia Imperial Court no longer has enough people to occupy the land they have reclaimed.

Too many people died in this catastrophe.

In the past, each of the nine provinces had a population of hundreds of millions.

And now, the number of survivors rescued in the entire Qingzhou region is less than one million!
Of the more than 20 million survivors in Yangzhou, the total number of survivors was less than 30 million.

Less than one in ten survives.

This demonstrates the cruelty of the entire catastrophe!
Fortunately, thanks to Pei San, whether it was under the jurisdiction of the Mani Temple in the Western Regions or deep in the grasslands of the far north, the situation was stable.

Most of its people survived.

Moreover, after years of development, the population density in these two places is already close to exceeding the carrying capacity of their land.

Therefore, under the planning of Zhuge Yuanhong and Pei San.

The Mani Temple, which has now submitted to the Great Xia Imperial Court, and the Heavenly God Mountain in the far north grasslands will bring a large number of immigrants to Yangzhou and Qingzhou.

But before that, they had to fight their way through the endless tide of monsters to break through this safe migration route!

And so... on the land of Kyushu, an unprecedented great migration was born!
What's even more surprising is that during this great migration, no powerful demon from the Void Realm intervened to stop it.

Even powerful demons in the Void Realm rarely make a move.

The Void Realm Great Demons who have made their move so far have all been newly born in the last few years, according to the investigations of the experts of the Great Xia Imperial Court.

All of this is just like... many powerful demon beasts that once crushed the human race of the Nine Provinces suddenly disappeared into thin air one night.

Until a daring demon-hunting team infiltrated its lair.

Only then did they discover that those terrifying Void Demons, who had committed countless blood feuds against the human race of Kyushu and were infamous for their wickedness, had long since vanished.

If it were just one place, it would be a coincidence, but more and more evidence suggests otherwise.

The group of great demons that had almost completely wiped out the human race of the Nine Provinces had vanished without a trace.

This... seems like a good thing?
