If you die, I will be able to inherit your cultivation.

After saying this, Zhou Ming did not give the Golden-Winged Roc a chance to continue arguing or communicating.

He took out "Fellow Daoist, Calm Down" and slashed at the Golden-Winged Roc with his sword.

Upon seeing the oncoming sword light, the Golden-Winged Roc immediately transformed back into its original form.

With its enormous wings spread, a massive, incredibly sharp claw reached out to grab at the sword light.

The Golden-Winged Roc underestimated Zhou Ming's true strength; his full-force attack was unable to block Zhou Ming's sword strike.

The sword light struck the giant claw, instantly turning the roc's claw into a bloody mess.

Even so, he still used all his strength to barely block the attack of this sword.

After their first encounter, Zhou Ming had no intention of continuing to fight the Golden-Winged Roc one-on-one.

There are too many demon cultivators and warships in this void. If we were to kill them one by one, it would take a lot of time.

Zhou Ming put the longsword back into his storage space and released his own world power.

The power of the world spread out in all directions, covering a void spanning hundreds of billions of kilometers.

As the power of the world unfolded, the first thing Zhou Ming did was to destroy all the recording equipment, void communication crystals, and image recording arrays within this area.

All devices capable of recording images and transmitting real-time battle information were destroyed under the influence of the world's power.

After completing this task, Zhou Ming once again activated the power of the world.

In the outer void of the Qingyuan Great World, all the demon warships that had gathered, along with thousands of demon cultivators at the Mahayana stage and other cultivation levels, were all drawn by an invisible force.

The demon race, along with the warship, were pulled into the internal space of the Qiankun Pearl and handed over to the central part of the Qiankun Pearl for absorption and refinement.

In the past, when Zhou Ming went out to fight, he would occasionally use the power of the Qiankun Pearl to fight.

However, the previous usage was relatively simple. The power of the Qiankun Pearl was only used to imprison the opponent for a short time. After he killed the enemy with his own hands, he would put the corpse into the Qiankun Pearl.

To outsiders, Zhou Ming merely suppressed his enemies with his powerful aura, and after the battle, he collected the enemy's corpses as spoils into his storage ring.

No one knew that Zhou Ming possessed such a treasure as the Qiankun Pearl.

This time, Zhou Ming didn't want to deal with the enemy step by step.

He chose to first use the power of the world to destroy all the video recording devices within this void, and then directly mobilize the power of the Qiankun Pearl to deal with all his opponents at once.

All the imaging equipment has been destroyed, and nothing that happens in the void can be transmitted outwards.

The Ming Dynasty fleet, located in the distance, could only detect that a large number of enemy warships and numerous Mahayana-stage demon cultivators had vanished into thin air.

However, the fleet's investigative methods were unable to find the answer to the true reason for the disappearance of these monks and warships.

Zhou Ming didn't care what others thought.

As long as no cultivator witnessed the entire process that just happened, whatever speculations the outside world makes are irrelevant to him.

After doing all this, Zhou Ming took out a communication jade talisman and sent a message to the Ming fleet accompanying him.

The fleet was ordered to change course, and the next target for attack was set as the Qingyuan Great World.

After sending the message, Zhou Ming did not wait for the fleet to travel together. He set off on his own, activated spatial teleportation, and headed towards the void where the Qingyuan Great World was located.

With each spatial shift, Zhou Ming traversed the vast void.

After teleporting more than ten times in a row, it finally broke through the world barrier of the Qingyuan Great World and officially entered the inner space of the Qingyuan Great World.

At this moment, within the Qingyuan Great World, all the local races had received news that the Golden-Winged Roc and a group of high-ranking Phoenix Clan cultivators who had gone to the void to intercept the Ming Dynasty had all died.

The message spread rapidly throughout the world through internal communication channels.

The various affiliated demon clan forces were filled with apprehension.

Many high-level demon cultivators made the same choice, setting off to the interdimensional teleportation arrays in major cities within the territory.

They prepared to use the teleportation array to leave the Qingyuan Great World and travel to other worlds controlled by the Phoenix Clan to escape the disaster.

After entering the Qingyuan Great World, Zhou Ming ignored the low- to mid-level demon cultivators who were busy fleeing.

His primary task at this stage is to search the entire Qingyuan Plain and find all the Mahayana-stage demon cultivators hiding there.

Once the demons at the Mahayana realm are completely wiped out, it will be difficult for the remaining demons with lower cultivation levels to organize a large-scale resistance.

When the subsequent fleet took over the entire world, the casualties of the Ming Dynasty were able to be kept to a very low level.

Zhou Ming unleashed his power over the world, spreading his divine sense outwards over a wide area.

One main city after another, cave dwellings deep in the mountains, hidden secret strongholds, and underground spiritual vein nests were all brought under the detection range of the divine sense.

Traces of the Phoenix Clan's life still remain in many of their settlements.

The stone platform used for cultivation, the storehouse for storing elixirs, and the main hall for clan meetings are all still in their original places, but the figures of Mahayana cultivators can no longer be seen.

Two guesses arose in Zhou Ming's mind.

The first possibility is that the native Mahayana demons of Qingyuan had previously followed the Golden-Winged Roc to the outer void, intending to ambush and intercept them halfway, but ultimately they all died on the void battlefield.

The second possibility is that these Mahayana demons sensed the direction of the battle in advance, knew that Qingyuan could not be defended, and used the interdimensional teleportation array to evacuate to other worlds early on.

Zhou Ming inspected all the major areas of the Qingyuan Great World, and even some hidden strongholds in spatial crevices and small subsidiary secret realms were not overlooked.

After a thorough search, he found not a single Mahayana-stage demon cultivator.

Since the search yielded no results, Zhou Ming was unwilling to waste any more time here. He changed direction and set off to rendezvous with the Ming fleet that was on its way.

After successfully rendezvousing with the fleet, Zhou Ming immediately issued combat orders.

The fleet was split into several detachments, which headed separately to various cities within the Qingyuan territory.

The first phase of the mission is to destroy all the interdimensional teleportation arrays in all the cities that originally belonged to the Phoenix Clan.

Cut off the Phoenix Clan's external reinforcements from entering Qingyuan.

It also cuts off the remaining demon race's escape routes across regions using the teleportation array.

After all the existing teleportation arrays were dealt with, the team of craftsmen in the fleet responsible for constructing the arrays began to select a site.

Construction has begun on a brand-new interdimensional teleportation array. The other end of this newly built teleportation channel connects to the Spirit Void World.

Once the interdimensional teleportation array was completed, people from the Lingxu World began to continuously enter the Qingyuan Great World through the teleportation channel.

This group of people who came to take over the new world were not a single group.

Some of them were administrative talents selected by Su Mingyue from all over the Ming Dynasty, specifically responsible for the governance of the new world.

Another group consisted of military personnel, led by Ren Yunjie himself, with hundreds of millions of Ming soldiers following him into the Qingyuan Great World.

Zhou Ming immediately made arrangements to hand over full management rights of Qingyuan World to Ren Yunjie.

The task of rebuilding the new world order, resettling the human population, and eliminating the remaining demon race within the territory was all entrusted to Ren Yunjie.

After making the arrangements, Zhou Ming did not linger and led the Ming Dynasty fleet away from the Qingyuan Great World, heading towards the next target world.
