Chapter 283: Large City Gate 'Guangyu Pass'

Chapter 1: Secret Technique 'Three Autumn Leaves'

"Are you ready now?" Empress Xuanyue asked.

"All Fourth Heaven Demon Kings' cooperation has been meticulously prepared," said Emperor Xinghe. "Jiuyuan recovered his Demon Saint strength last year, and over the past six months, he has also fully refined the Blood Demon Battle Armor I bestowed upon him, integrating it into his body. With the Blood Demon Battle Armor, he might even be slightly stronger than at his peak."

"What's the use of being a bit stronger? He's merely one Demon Saint, while the human race has a whole group of Creation Realm experts," Empress Xuanyue said. "And that's human territory; the human race can likely deploy many of their clan's protective treasures. We are separated by a world, so many of our protective treasures can't be used at all."

"There's no other way, we've been exposed," Emperor Xinghe chuckled. "Since we're exposed, we can only crush them with overwhelming force. Seven hundred Fourth Heaven Demon Kings can completely collapse portions of cities with just a few surprise attacks. With repeated attacks, the human race will completely collapse. A million demon kings will spread out to kill... No matter how powerful the human gods and demons are, they can't be everywhere at once. How many demon kings can they kill? A million demon kings can plunge the entire human race into utter destruction."

"An upright, overwhelming force is the hardest to break," Empress Xuanyue nodded in approval.

"We're here," Emperor Xinghe said. The large ship began to slowly descend, landing in front of a massive world entrance.

"Demon Saint Jiuyuan will attack this pass. This secret is known only to him and me," Emperor Xinghe chuckled. "Even you, Sister Xuanyue, didn't know about it before. The Fourth Heaven Demon Kings are all inside the ship's cabins, with space sealed off. They don't know where they are, let alone leak any information. The human race's methods for detecting information are truly formidable, so I had to be careful."

Empress Xuanyue nodded slightly. "When will Demon Saint Jiuyuan make his move?"

"Just wait. Within the time it takes to steep a cup of tea, Jiuyuan will surely act and breach this pass," Emperor Xinghe said, standing on the deck and smiling as he gazed at the massive world entrance. It was a large-scale world entrance, with 'Guangyu Pass', a large fortress guarded by Two Realms Island, on the other side.

May 19th, Luofang Island, Guangyu Pass.

The Great Yue Dynasty possessed jungle mountain ranges and numerous islands. Among them, some large islands were vast in area; for instance, 'Luofang Island' ranked among the top five largest islands, its size nearly half that of a province. Over twenty million people resided on this island, with more than half living within 'Guangyu Pass'. Guangyu Pass was one of the seven major passes guarded by Two Realms Island and was personally overseen by 'King Guangyu'.

Within the bustling Guangyu City.

A group of soldiers escorted a carriage, and wherever they passed, people avoided them from a distance.

"It's the Guangyu family's carriage."

"A lord from the Guangyu family is out."

People were filled with awe.

Two Realms Island only had eight King-Sealed Godfiends in total, yet they were required to guard seven major passes (one of which was a super-large pass). Therefore, Two Realms Island granted substantial benefits to the King-Sealed Godfiends guarding these positions.

For example, the entire Luofang Island was granted to 'King Guangyu' as his fief. Within his fief, King Guangyu's word was absolute. Two Realms Island could not interfere with his decisions; he was the undisputed supreme ruler within Luofang Island.

In the Great Yue Dynasty, this 'feudal' system was very common, and even slavery existed.

In contrast, the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Black Sand Dynasty had no feudal system and no slavery.

"Those are all soldiers of the Guangyu family. If one could join the Guangyu family, it would bring glory to their ancestors."

"I heard you need to reach the 'Body Metamorphosis Realm' just to qualify to join the Guangyu family. It's truly difficult."

Many people discussed this, and quite a few young individuals were full of longing.

The Guangyu family's mansion was only a few li from the world entrance; King Guangyu could reach it in a flash.

"Guangyu Pass is also one of the Great Yue Dynasty's twenty-two major cities. If the demon race attacks, they probably won't spare Guangyu Pass," King Guangyu said, standing in a pavilion. He wore a magnificent white robe embroidered with intricate patterns of a hundred birds. He was tall, with a square face, thick beard and hair, and eyes as deep as the sea. "However, the attackers will all be Fourth Heaven Demon Kings, so the threat isn't too great."

"But a million demon kings massacring indiscriminately, that might truly change the face of the entire world," King Guangyu mused.

Suddenly, his expression changed.

He saw a figure appear out of thin air in front of him: a very disheveled old man with yellow eyes staring at King Guangyu from beneath his messy hair.

"How is this possible?" King Guangyu couldn't believe an enemy would ignore his 'Formless Domain' and infiltrate directly to his vicinity.

"Boom!"

The Formless Domain erupted!

Furthermore, white energy waves surged outwards in all directions; this was 'Four Seas Domain', a technique cultivated by King Guangyu. King Guangyu simultaneously used his token to immediately call for aid, while also drawing the divine sword from his waist.

"Pfft." The disheveled old man extended his right hand. A blood-colored gauntlet appeared on his withered palm. Though seemingly at a distance, his hand instantly reached King Guangyu's chest. So-called domains and true essence body protection were useless.

The blood-colored claw directly tore out King Guangyu's heart.

A still-beating heart.

"It's Creation Realm strength, the disparity is too great!"

King Guangyu showed an expression of shock, fury, and despair. Before he could even thrust his divine sword, five streaks of bloody light from the claw that crushed his heart flew into King Guangyu's body, causing his body to begin swelling.

"It's over."

King Guangyu understood with despair. In his final moments, he used his communication token to send out a maximum-level distress call, frantically requesting aid multiple times.

Bang, his body completely exploded.

"The seven major passes guarded by Two Realms Island are all generally weak. King Guangyu is even ranked lower, possessing only the strength of an ordinary King-Sealed Godfiend." A hint of disdain flickered in the disheveled old man's eyes. For the sake of certainty, he had chosen Two Realms Island, which had weaker overall strength, and specifically targeted the easier-to-deal-with 'King Guangyu'.

But after possessing a body and infiltrating the human world for so many years, he had finally recovered his strength and refined the Blood Demon Battle Armor.

To unleash his true peak strength just to kill an ordinary King-Sealed Godfiend felt truly unsatisfying.

"Boom."

The disheveled old man, with a flash, surged over two li away, arriving before the massive world entrance.

"Rumble!" A terrifying domain spread in all directions. The surrounding towering pass collapsed, and the patrolling soldiers were instantly pulverized. With the disheveled old man at the center, everything within a five-li radius was instantly shattered. This area mainly consisted of the pass and large mansions, yet tens of thousands of people still died. This was without Demon Saint Jiuyuan deliberately massacring; if he had spent time killing, he could have turned Guangyu City into a dead zone.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world entrance.

On the deck of the large ship, Emperor Xinghe and Empress Xuanyue, looking through the massive world entrance, both saw the disheveled old man hovering at the other end, and witnessed everything around him being pulverized.

The disheveled old man bowed slightly towards the two Emperors on the other side of the world.

"Quickly enter the human world." Emperor Xinghe immediately transmitted a message to all the Fourth Heaven Demon Kings in the ship's cabin. Swish, swish, swish... One by one, the Fourth Heaven Demon Kings flew out. Under the watchful eyes of the two Emperors and with Demon Saint Jiuyuan's guidance, over six hundred Fourth Heaven Demon Kings continuously flew into the world entrance. In mere seconds, they all reached the other side of the world entrance—the human world.

Yuanchu Mountain.

Venerable Qin Wu's expression changed as he saw a phantom figure of a man appear beside him. The phantom man anxiously said, "Master, I, along with many other Fourth Heaven Demon Kings, have already entered Guangyu Pass in the human world. War has arrived!"
