Looking at the nine gigantic dragons before him that were glaring fiercely at him, She Ming ultimately did not draw his sword.
After all, he merely wanted to witness Liu Bai's strength. After all, Liu Bai's cultivation was only at Lesser Earthly Sovereign, and such cultivation was difficult to convince others with.
However, now that he had seen Liu Bai was actually a Spiritual Array Scholar, everything became easy to discuss.
A Mid Rank Spiritual Array Scholar might not necessarily defeat an Greater Earthly Sovereign in a direct fight, but if given even a little preparation time, the power they could unleash would far surpass that of ordinary Greater Earthly Sovereigns.
Moreover, from how Liu Bai had casually set up at least a Mid Rank Grandmaster Spiritual Array with a mere flick of his finger, it was clear that his attainments as a Spiritual Array Master were likely even higher. Someone like this could probably unleash battle power not weaker than a Great Perfection Earthly Sovereign.
"I have already witnessed Brother Liu's strength, and I am willing to join your Demon Slaying Squad. However, if we intend to deal with an entire race, our numbers may still be insufficient…"
She Ming cupped his fists and said.
Hearing this, Liu Bai smiled and nodded.
"Then I shall first welcome Brother She into the squad."
"As for the issue Brother She is worried about, I have already considered it. This time, we are not planning to confront them head on. After all, the enemy is in the open while we are in the shadows. Furthermore, the five Demon Kings of the Blackstone Fiend Clan each possess their own territories. We can completely use our advantage to take down one of them first."
"As for the rest, we can proceed step by step. At worst, we can simply retreat first. We are not truly planning to fight them to the death."
Even with trump cards in hand, Liu Bai had never intended to clash head on against the Blackstone Fiend Clan.
With the system by his side, he would only grow stronger the more he fought. Once he broke through to Great Perfection Earthly Sovereign, the entire Blackstone Fiend Clan would become experience points for him.
"I just hope their numbers are enough…"
Liu Bai thought inwardly as he turned his gaze toward the other Demon Slayers.
In the end, a total of five people joined Liu Bai's Demon Slaying Squad. Including Liu Bai and Ding Xuan, there were seven people altogether.
All five possessed Greater Earthly Sovereign strength and were considered somewhat famous within Abyss Continent.
Although such numbers seemed insignificant compared to an entire race, because of what Liu Bai had said earlier, not only were they not afraid, they were all eager to try.
After all, if they could truly enjoy the huge rewards Liu Bai had promised, the seven of them would at minimum be promoted to Intermediate Demon Slayers!
Such an opportunity might not appear even once in a hundred years.
Now that they had gathered enough people, Ding Xuan could no longer suppress his urge to depart immediately.
Liu Bai naturally had no objections and directly led the squad away from Abyss Continent.
Watching their departing figures, a trace of indescribable emotion flashed through the calm eyes of the middle aged beautiful woman behind the counter.
With only this few people, they actually dared to head into a Lower Plane invaded by the Fiend clans to slay demons. Hopefully they would all return safely. Over these countless years, far too many geniuses of the Great Thousand World had fallen.
The boundless world was pitch black. Even the earth and distant mountain ranges were covered in a dark tone. From afar, it looked as though they had been infected by endless demonic aura, filled with a tragic atmosphere.
Beyond the mountain ranges was an endless ocean.
The dark land and azure seawater formed an insurmountable dividing line that stretched all the way to the horizon.
Buzz!
Above a sea region far from the continent, space suddenly tore apart as a plane passage formed. Several figures stepped out from within and stood upon the sea surface.
"As expected of a Lower Plane. The level of power here is far inferior to that of the Great Thousand World."
Standing above the sea surface, Liu Bai casually raised his hand and condensed an energy sphere in his palm as he spoke calmly.
"We must be careful from now on. Once spiritual energy is consumed here, recovering it will be extremely slow…" Chu Xiong waved the giant axe in his hand a few times, adapting himself to the new environment as his expression turned somewhat solemn.
Liu Bai nodded. After glancing at the others who had already adapted to the aura of the new world, he said, "But there is no need to worry too much. When it is time to act, we still have to act. At critical moments, we still have medicinal pills for recovering spiritual energy…"
Besides that, everyone also possessed some Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, which could likewise replenish spiritual energy during emergencies.
Even so, they still needed to remain cautious afterward in order to avoid exhausting their spiritual energy and falling into danger.
She Ming, carrying the ancient sword on his back, glanced at the endless seawater around them. Beneath the sea, dense darkness surged endlessly. That evil aura was so strong that not a single living creature existed within this vast sea region.
"Where are we heading next?"
After hearing She Ming's question, Liu Bai pondered briefly before replying, "Since we have just arrived, perhaps we should first greet these invaders."
As he spoke, his gaze shifted toward Ding Xuan.
After all, this Heavenly Saber Plane belonged to him. At times like this, the local guide naturally had to lead the way.
Seeing this, Ding Xuan did not object and directly said, "Not far from here lives a devil dragon. Originally, it was one of the top experts of this plane's sea region, but it has already submitted to the Blackstone Fiend Clan. After being corrupted, its strength increased greatly. I once lost to it before, so we might as well start with it."
Clearly, compared to external enemies, traitors were the ones most hated.
"Good, then it is decided!"
Liu Bai clapped his hands and made the decision. Afterward, under Ding Xuan's guidance, the group headed toward that underwater city.
Unlike the Blood Feind Clan in the White Dragon Realm, which treated the living beings of White Dragon Continent as livestock for blood consumption and thus deliberately kept many native lifeforms alive as food despite occupying the entire continent, the Blackstone Fiend Clan of the Heavenly Saber Plane had no need for such lifeforms.
To them, the only thing they required was the energy contained within the earth itself. Therefore, toward the living beings of the Heavenly Saber Plane, they mostly adopted a policy of complete extermination.
Only native lifeforms with sufficient strength who willingly accepted corruption by demonic aura could survive.
Even so, these corrupted lifeforms were never truly trusted by the Blackstone Fiend Clan. They were merely treated as expendable vanguards during the invasion of the plane.
According to Ding Xuan, the only surviving lifeforms remaining in the Heavenly Saber Plane were hidden within a secret sea region. Because the Blackstone Fiend Clan greatly detested water, all of them lived upon land. The ones who ventured deep into the seas to hunt down the survivors were precisely these corrupted devil creatures!
"The strength of these corrupted devil creatures should not be underestimated either. Nearly all of them possess cultivation comparable to Demon Generals, so killing them will not be easy."
Beneath the sea, Ding Xuan looked toward an underwater dragon city ahead as he spoke to Liu Bai and the others.
Liu Bai glanced at everyone else before smiling.
"In that case, let me handle this first battle…"
These corrupted demon creatures were not true Fiend clans. Their bodies had merely been corrupted by demonification, and they did not possess powerful demon souls like genuine Fiend clans. Therefore, the Demon Slaying Points gained from killing them were extremely limited.
It was precisely because Liu Bai noticed that these people seemed uninterested in this corrupted demon dragon that he made such a suggestion.
Demon Slaying Points were not his primary objective. What he valued more was experience points, so naturally he did not mind.
"Very well. Then we shall witness Brother Liu's methods." She Ming and the others exchanged glances before replying.
Liu Bai did not waste any time. His spiritual consciousness had long since locked onto the ferocious black dragon coiled within the dragon city below. At this moment, the creature was sleeping, and Liu Bai could even see strands of black demonic aura continuously flowing from the dark earth into its body through the places where its enormous dragon body touched the ground.
Without hesitation, Liu Bai flicked his finger, and the God Slaughtering Ancient Array that he was most familiar with instantly appeared within the seawater. Blood red flowers of slaughter rapidly bloomed within the array.
In an instant, the extermination power nurtured within the flowers fully formed before transforming into a beam of extermination divine light that shot toward the devil dragon.
The moment the array activated, the sleeping demon dragon was already awakened by the terrifying slaughter aura of the God Slaughtering Ancient Array. When it opened its eyes, it immediately saw the dark divine light shooting toward it.
Roar!!!
This scene directly frightened the demon dragon out of its wits. Without caring about anything else, it instantly erupted with demonic aura. With a swing of its dragon tail, it attempted to shatter space and escape.
Unfortunately, its seemingly savage and durable dragon scales could not withstand the extermination divine light of the God Slaughtering Ancient Array at all. The light effortlessly pierced through the dragon's head and shattered its dragon soul.
Rumble…
The enormous demon dragon corpse, thousands of feet long, crashed into the seabed, instantly stirring massive ocean currents and causing giant waves upon the sea surface.
The Demon Slayer Token on Liu Bai's body flew out and absorbed a strand of the dissipating dragon soul. Soon after, a number appeared upon it.
"Thirty!"
Liu Bai curled his lips. This demon dragon possessed the strength of an Greater Earthly Sovereign, yet it only provided thirty Demon Slaying Points, even fewer than a Lesser Earthly Sovereign Fiend clan expert. No wonder the others looked down upon it.
Although the Demon Slaying Points were few, the experience points were still acceptable.
["Ding! Cross level kill of an Early Phase Greater Earthly Sovereign Demon Dragon completed. Double experience reward obtained. Gained 8 million experience points and 5000 Beast Soul Points."]
Liu Bai was currently at the peak of Lesser Earthly Sovereign, so naturally the experience gained from kills had decreased. Even so, it was still enough.
At worst, he could simply kill more. After all, just like this time, it did not require much effort.
What surprised Liu Bai, however, was that the Beast Soul Points gained this time were far fewer. It was probably because the bloodline level of this Lower Plane demon dragon was not particularly high.
With these eight million experience points, he could now raise his cultivation to Greater Earthly Sovereign at any time. In that case, he would have much greater confidence when facing those Demon Kings. By relying on this method of growing stronger through battle, he should still be able to harvest another wave before the enemy discovered them.
At the same time, seeing Liu Bai casually kill a Demon General level demon dragon so effortlessly, whether it was Chu Xiong or She Ming, all revealed shocked expressions.
Originally, they already knew that Liu Bai's identity as a Spiritual Array Scholar was extraordinary, but they had at most thought he was around the same level as them. Only now, after seeing him truly take action, did they realize how absurdly wrong they had been.
"Brother Liu's battle power can probably contend even against a Great Perfection Earthly Sovereign, right?" She Ming felt extremely fortunate inwardly that the two of them had not truly fought back on Abyss Continent.
That array capable of condensing nine giant dragons earlier did not seem any weaker than the array before them now. If they had really fought, would he also have been instantly killed like this demon dragon?
His words were also acknowledged by the others.
Especially Chu Xiong, who originally possessed the highest cultivation among them. Although he was confident in defeating the demon dragon himself, he absolutely could not have done so this easily. Therefore, he had now become genuinely convinced of Liu Bai's strength.
At this moment, Ding Xuan also felt extremely excited. Liu Bai's strength allowed him to see a trace of hope.
"Are we continuing?"
Activating a Grandmaster Spiritual Array also consumed a tremendous amount of energy, which was why Ding Xuan asked this question.
Liu Bai smiled faintly and spoke two words.
"Continue!"
During the following period, Liu Bai and the others directly swept through every corrupted demon creature within this sea region.
However, many of the demon creatures were not very high level, and some were even below the Earthly Sovereign realm. Therefore, Liu Bai's gains were not particularly large. His experience points increased by another eighteen million, while his Beast Soul Points increased by twenty thousand.
As for Demon Slaying Points, there was no need to mention them. Altogether, they still did not even amount to one hundred points, not even comparable to a single Greater Earthly Sovereign level Fiend clan expert.
Watching Liu Bai slaughter enemies as easily as cutting vegetables along the way, Chu Xiong and the others also began to feel somewhat restless. However, they did not rashly head toward the continent to hunt true Fiend clan experts. Instead, they followed Ding Xuan to the underwater city inhabited by the native lifeforms, preparing to gather more detailed information from these people.
Under Ding Xuan's guidance, the group entered a palace within the underwater city.
The place appeared rather secretive. Only several figures who had clearly been waiting there long ago stood quietly within. Upon seeing Ding Xuan and the others, they immediately knelt down, their attitudes reverent to the point of fanaticism.
"We greet Lord Divine Envoy!"
Neither Liu Bai nor the others spoke, leaving everything to Ding Xuan to handle.
Moreover, these people had probably met Ding Xuan before, or perhaps they had already received advance notice, which was why they had been waiting here beforehand.
Ding Xuan spoke in a cold voice.
"Rise. Tell us all the detailed information regarding the Blackstone Fiend Clan."
Upon hearing this, the people kneeling below all revealed excited expressions.
Clearly, Lord Divine Envoy was finally going to take action against those Blackstone devil creatures!
"Yes, Lord Divine Envoy!"
"The Blackstone Fiend Clan has a total of five Demon Kings. Aside from the strongest First Demon King, who guards the Blackstone Devil Mountain at the center of the continent, the remaining four Demon Kings each guard the east, west, south, and north regions respectively."
Hearing this, Liu Bai and the others immediately lit up with excitement. The five Demon Kings were not gathered together, which was an excellent opportunity for them.
"The one closest to the eastern sea region is the Fifth Demon King. Under his command are one million demon troops, six Demon Generals, and those traitors who willingly accepted demonification. Their strength is extremely terrifying."
"The Second Demon King is stationed in the north, the Third Demon King in the south, and the Fourth Demon King in the west. These rankings are also determined according to strength. Under normal circumstances, they all remain within their own territories. Only during the annual Demon Birth Day do they gather together at the demon mountain in the center of the continent."
