Among the five Demon Kings, Ding Xuan had only ever seen the Fifth Demon King, and he had been instantly defeated by the latter. Had he not encountered another fortunate opportunity afterward, he might very well have died back then.
"Do we know the cultivation levels of these five Demon Kings?" Ding Xuan asked.
Hearing this, the man only smiled bitterly and replied, "Lord Divine Envoy, please understand. Even our strongest experts cannot break through the blockade of those corrupted demon creatures, so we have never even seen any of the Demon Kings ourselves."
Ding Xuan nodded. He had already expected this.
"You no longer need to worry about those corrupted demon creatures. Their strongest members have already been eliminated by us. The remaining stragglers are no longer a threat. Find a suitable time and deal with them yourselves."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people opposite them were immediately overjoyed. Some even had reddened eyes and nearly burst into tears.
"Many thanks, Lord Divine Envoy! Many thanks, Lord Divine Envoy!"
The people below once again knelt down in unison.
Ding Xuan said nothing further. He exchanged a glance with Liu Bai, and the group disappeared from the spot shortly afterward.
Inside a tavern within the underwater city, Liu Bai and the other seven sat together while drinking the city's special seabed spirit wine and discussing their next course of action.
"The Fifth Demon King resides beneath Jade Pavilion Mountain on the eastern continent. Outside, six Demon Generals stand guard, along with one million demon soldiers. Capturing him will not be easy."
"The most important point is that we absolutely cannot allow the news to spread. Otherwise, once the remaining four Demon Kings become prepared, it will become even harder for us to defeat them one by one."
Liu Bai briefly explained the current situation.
Ding Xuan added from the side, "There is only one month left until Demon Birth Day. If that day arrives and the five Demon Kings gather together, it will become even more difficult for us to act. By then, we will definitely be discovered as well. If it comes to that, we can only retreat…"
Of course, retreating would be easy for them, but the survivors would be finished.
The Blackstone Fiend Clan merely disliked water. It was not as though they could not enter it. Furthermore, with those corrupted demon creatures around, they simply could not be bothered to deal with those pitiful survivors struggling to stay alive.
Unless it truly became a matter of life and death, Ding Xuan would never choose that option. In fact, if it really reached that stage, he might choose to remain here himself and perish alongside his homeland.
"Do not worry. We still have a chance." Liu Bai smiled as he reassured him.
The other five remained silent on the matter. They had come here purely for Demon Slaying Points, so they would absolutely do their best to slay demons. However, if the situation truly endangered their own lives, they would undoubtedly retreat immediately.
"Alright, there is no need to worry about that for now…" Liu Bai smiled faintly before saying to the group, "We are definitely eliminating the Fifth Demon King. Now let us discuss everyone's assignments."
Hearing this, everyone's expressions immediately turned serious.
"At that time, I will use a great array to seal off the entirety of Jade Pavilion Mountain and eliminate as many demon soldiers as possible. As for all of you, deal with the six Demon Generals. Leave the remaining Demon King to me as well. How does that sound?"
Chu Xiong and She Ming exchanged glances.
They did not care about the demon soldiers, but they were fully aware of the strength possessed by Demon Kings.
Even the weakest Demon King possessed the power of a Great Perfection Earthly Sovereign. Many Demon Kings were even Half Step Heavenly Sovereigns.
Such experts were not opponents that low level Demon Slayers like them could contend against.
However, since Liu Bai spoke with such confidence, he likely possessed some hidden trump card.
"Alright, we shall proceed as planned!"
"Very good. Then let us depart!"
As Liu Bai's words fell, ripples suddenly spread behind him before his entire figure vanished. The others did the same. This scene caused several nearby tavern customers to erupt into cries of alarm.
A short while later, Liu Bai and the others had already crossed the vast sea and arrived upon the continent.
Looking at the demon land below, shrouded in black fog, all of them frowned.
"These damned Fiend creatures never stop polluting the territory of our Great Thousand World!"
Chu Xiong wiped the massive axe in his hand and cursed angrily.
Although this was a Lower Plane, it still belonged within the Great Thousand World. Slaughtering living beings might still be somewhat tolerable, but this kind of corruption that transformed the entire plane and altered heaven and earth itself was absolutely unforgivable.
Soon afterward, the group arrived at a location a thousand miles away from Jade Pavilion Mountain.
Standing in the sky while gazing at the black mountain in the distance that resembled rising wolf smoke, everyone involuntarily halted their steps.
"In the past, Jade Pavilion Mountain was one of the four sacred mountains of the Heavenly Saber Plane. Unfortunately, it no longer resembles its former self…" Ding Xuan tightly gripped the long blade in his left hand. At this moment, the sharp saber intent radiating from his body was gradually transforming into ultimate killing intent.
"Once we eliminate the Blackstone Fiend Clan, everything here will slowly recover eventually," Liu Bai said.
However, that would probably be very difficult.
Even though the Heavenly Saber Plane possessed its own Plane Spirit, under the current circumstances, it was likely already struggling greatly.
If the Plane Spirit truly dissipated one day, then the Heavenly Saber Plane would completely decline and become a lifeless forbidden land where survival was impossible.
"Alright. The six of you will lure out the six Demon Generals while I take the opportunity to set up the array…"
The six all nodded and no longer hesitated. Their figures flashed and appeared in the distant sky. Spiritual Energy surged from their bodies, and six powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations immediately soared into the heavens.
At the same time, within the giant mountain, six humanoid creatures covered in black stone armor and standing over ten feet tall were gnawing on stones inside a hall located within the mountain's interior.
Upon closer inspection, it would become apparent that the armor covering these six humanoid creatures was not something they wore. Instead, it had directly grown from their bodies. Rather than armor, it resembled hardened skin.
The moment Ding Xuan and the others rose into the sky, the six Demon Generals who had been happily devouring black stones instantly froze. Immediately afterward, they transformed into black streaks of light and shot out from the mountain interior into the sky, where they saw six figures fleeing in six different directions.
"These natives truly have outrageous courage to dare provoke our sacred mountain. They are courting death!"
The tallest and largest among them, the First Demon General, threw aside the food in his hand and spoke furiously.
"Go! Kill them!"
Without even considering whether the enemy might be attempting to lure the tiger away from the mountain, the six Demon Generals directly charged after them.
Once all six Demon Generals had left Jade Pavilion Mountain, Liu Bai's figure appeared atop the mountain peak. Watching the direction in which they disappeared, he could not help but shake his head.
"What a bunch of idiots who have eaten too many stones…"
Looking down over the enormous Jade Pavilion Mountain, Liu Bai could still see densely packed demon soldiers covering the mountain's surface. If they remained motionless, they could truly be mistaken for ordinary black stones.
Liu Bai ignored those demon soldiers. He raised both hands, and countless Spiritual Seals rapidly flew out. Before long, this massive mountain range spanning thousands of miles was entirely enveloped by a golden great array.
This instantly alarmed all the demon soldiers upon the mountain. Dense masses of stone blocks began moving before transforming into stone giants over two meters tall that charged into the sky.
"Heh, they do look rather intimidating."
There were likely no fewer than one hundred thousand demon soldiers filling the sky. Ordinary people would probably be frightened into retreat upon seeing such a sight.
"Unfortunately, you arrived a little too late."
With a flick of his finger, a golden jade like object flew out from Liu Bai's hand and landed directly at the center of the great array. It was precisely the ancient desolate beast essence blood inheritance that Liu Bai had obtained from the Divine Beast Plains.
"Roar!!!"
A golden giant beast flew out from the jade of essence blood and plunged directly into the great array. Immediately afterward, terrifying beast roars echoed out continuously.
Space within the array tore apart. Amid endless golden light, the gate to an ancient world was opened.
"Roar!"
"Screech!"
"Caw!"
"…"
Various beast roars rang out as an ancient and savage aura filled with brutality flooded the entire array.
Along with these beast roars, the stone giants filling the sky began falling like dumplings from the heavens. Aside from a small number that could still climb back up, more than eighty percent had their demon souls shattered directly by the beast roars!
"The Eight Fiend Mysterious Beast Array!"
This powerful array, whose greatest might could reach the Half Step Great Grandmaster level, had already demonstrated its terrifying strength with merely a slight display of its power.
Rumble!
Just as the one hundred thousand demon soldiers were about to be completely annihilated by the Eight Fiend Mysterious Beast Array, the enormous mountain suddenly began trembling violently. Massive cracks split apart to form gigantic demon abysses. In the end, the enormous mountain towering between heaven and earth completely collapsed, while the remaining demon soldiers were utterly exterminated amidst the destruction of the collapsing mountain.
Liu Bai watched this scene and could not help but reveal a faint smile.
"Looks like the main target has finally come out. Though I have to say, clearing out your own subordinates before showing up is quite considerate."
After all, those demon soldiers could not provide him with any experience points. The gap in value was simply too large.
Roar! Roar!
Amid successive beast roars, eight ancient desolate ferocious beasts reappeared in this world. Their overwhelming fiendish aura even suppressed the boundless demonic qi surging up from below the mountain.
The moment the eight beasts appeared, their terrifying beast eyes locked directly onto the abyss below.
There, a black clothed young man slowly walked out amidst rolling demonic qi.
"Oh, such a powerful array. It seems you are not a native of this world."
Liu Bai smiled faintly, showing no intention of wasting words with him.
He had already observed earlier that the six Demon Generals were extremely strong, with two of them comparable to Great Perfection Earthly Sovereigns. Chu Xiong and the others would not be able to hold them for long.
So he needed to eliminate this Demon King as quickly as possible.
With a shift of hand seals, all eight desolate beasts immediately charged toward the black clothed figure.
The Fifth Demon King's expression changed slightly.
As a Demon King, he was not someone who enjoyed talking with these so called ants of the Great Thousand World.
The moment he appeared, he had already sensed the terrifying power of this array above him. Only by absorbing all the demonic qi beneath the demon abyss could he be fully confident in breaking it.
He originally intended to stall for time, but he did not expect to encounter such an unreasonable opponent.
"You think you can kill me with just this array? You are far too naive!"
With a furious roar, boundless demonic qi surged out from the Fifth Demon King's body. A giant demon, even taller than Jade Pavilion Mountain itself, manifested between heaven and earth.
With a single punch, one of the eight ferocious beasts, Taotie, was sent flying.
However, the remaining seven beasts, Qiongqi, Taotie, Hundun, Xiangliu, Gugiao, Jiuying, and the others, all pounced onto the giant demon and began frantically tearing at it.
In just moments, the enormous demonic body showed signs of collapse and began disintegrating.
The demonic qi that these demons normally relied on to dominate the world was completely ineffective against these ancient desolate ferocious beasts.
"Damn natives!"
Hidden within the rolling demonic fog, the Fifth Demon King cursed inwardly. He had not expected this array to be so powerful.
"I want to see how long you, a mere Lesser Earthly Sovereign, can hold on!"
Unfortunately for him, Liu Bai's true killing move was never the array itself.
A jade like sword appeared in Liu Bai's hand. He then took out a million drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid and directly fed it into the sword.
In the next moment, an endless torrent of sword qi erupted from the blade and swept into the rolling demonic qi, piercing straight through the Fifth Demon King's body.
"No…!!!"
He only managed to utter a single word. Before he could even beg for mercy, the Fifth Demon King was completely annihilated by the sword qi torrent.
Heaven Emperor Sword!
The power of this Peerless Saint Artifact was not something a mere Demon King could resist.
Even though Liu Bai had used a million drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, that single strike had not even unleashed one percent of the Heaven Emperor Sword's true power. Even so, it was more than enough to completely obliterate a Half Step Heavenly Sovereign level Demon King.
[Ding! Killed a Half Step Heavenly Sovereign level Demon King. Five times experience reward obtained. Gained forty five million experience points.]
A massive experience explosion!
However, Demon King level enemies do not yield world origin points, which was somewhat regrettable.
Liu Bai's Demon Slaying Token flew out and absorbed the shattered demon soul fragments within the array. Instantly, his Demon Slaying Points increased by another two hundred.
"Tch, nearly three hundred Demon Slaying Points already. It seems this expedition alone is enough to raise my Demon Slayer rank to intermediate level."
Compared to Chu Xiong and the others who had spent years remaining at the low level Demon Slayer rank, such opportunities were truly rare.
With the Fifth Demon King and the hundred thousand demon soldiers of Jade Pavilion Mountain completely wiped out, the next step was to eliminate the remaining Demon Generals.
With a flash, Liu Bai appeared first at Chu Xiong's battlefield.
At this moment, Chu Xiong was in a rather miserable state. His opponent was a Demon General comparable to a Great Perfection Earthly Sovereign, and the Blackstone Fiend Clan possessed extremely strong defense. Even after Chu Xiong had hacked away with his axe until it was full of nicks, he had still failed to cause much damage.
Without a word, Liu Bai directly swung his sword at the Demon General's head.
"Be careful, that thing has very strong defense…"
Chu Xiong had not even finished speaking when he saw Liu Bai already sever the Demon General's head with a single strike.
"You…"
Looking at the jade like sword in Liu Bai's hand, Chu Xiong momentarily did not know what to say.
Liu Bai smiled faintly and did not hide the Heaven Emperor Sword. Instead, he said, "Brother Chu, stop standing there. Collect your Demon Slaying Points and let us go support the others."
