Chapter 210: Purging Low Ranked Demons

The low-ranked demons were all gathered on one side. They alone amounted to more than 5000 in number.

The demons were wondering just what Azaroth was planning with them. Firstly, his motive of bringing them out of the demon nest to this secluded place confused them.

Now, he was even splitting the Low-Ranked Demons from the main group. Was he going to give them something?

Azaroth was currently revealing his cultivation base, and the seven Demon Lords could sense that his cultivation was at the same level as them.

However, they felt utter despair while even thinking of fighting against him.

Each one of these Demon Lords had great talent and a strong mentality. They had become demon lords by stepping up on numerous corpses.

Yet, when they looked at Azaroth, they felt as if all their experience amounted to nothing.

Azaroth stared at these demons with a casual look.

The Golden Flames of Heaven lit up on his palm. The Demons immediately showed hostile expressions as they sensed that flame.

However, they didn't dare to make a move. Their fear of Azaroth was greater than their hatred for this detestable flame.

Azaroth disregarded their enmity and directed his palm in the direction of the Low-Ranked Demons.

"Ring of Fire."

The Golden Flame over his Azaroth's palm disappeared.

A thin strand of Golden Flames encircled the Low-Ranked Demons' perimeter. It only took a couple of seconds for a thin ring of fire to form around these Low-Ranked Demons.

The Demon Lord possessing the Golden Roc's bloodline was the only one who mustered up the courage to ask Azaroth, "W-What are you planning to do to our subordinates? Do you know that we are the subordinates of a Demon King?"

Azaroth suddenly paused his attack and then turned towards his direction. He focused on that demon and quietly observed him.

The Demon possessing the Golden Roc's Bloodline noticed that Azaroth had stopped because of his words.

Was this Demon Lord also scared of a Demon King?

When this notion crossed his mind, he instantly felt more certain. He spoke with a voice filled with confidence, "We all serve a Demon King named Black Hurricane. This was one of his strongholds. You are making a mistake by taking action against us. Once our master finds you, he will capture your spirit and torture you! He will also kill all the people close to you. It is best if you let go of us or else suffer these consequences."

That was very much a threat by this Demon Lord.

The Low-Ranked Demons noticed Azaroth had actually paused as if he was considering it deeply. They were relieved since this meant there was some chance for their survival.

This relief was short-lived as they heard Azaroth mutter, "Burst."

The Low-Ranked Demons didn't have the time to even let out a sound before the ring of flames covered the entire ring with Pure Golden Holy Flames.

The entire ring was filled with a column of pure Golden Holy Flames. All the low-ranked demons in this Holy Golden Flames were purged!

The death energy released by these demons was automatically absorbed by Azaroth through his Heavenly Demon Cultivation Technique.

His cultivation didn't improve all that much. However, this was to be anticipated. The amount of energy necessary to become a Demon King was enormous.

Moreover, Azaroth's Triquetra Ardor demanded much greater energy than normal.

But it didn't worry Azaroth that greatly.

The universe was boundless. Also, he wasn't in a hurry to get stronger. Everything had to be done step-by-step.

His plan to become a Demon King had already been in motion.

As Azaroth purged those Low-Ranked Demons, he looked at that Demon Lord possessing the Golden Roc's Bloodline.

That Demon Lord had a flabbergasted and a terrified look as he perceived Azaroth's gaze.

"Do you get the message?" Azaroth asked with a cold voice.

The Demon Lord nodded with a blank expression. He didn't expect Azaroth to actually take action even after hearing that they were a Demon King's subordinates.

Was he crazy? There truly were a lot of crazy demons who would kill first and think later.

Wait… A Demon?

But it was at this moment he could think clearly. He wondered why he was even thinking of Azaroth as a Demon.

The aura he gave off was similar to a human. However, the time when he had suppressed them was through a Demon God's Bloodline. And just now, Azaroth had utilized Holy Flames to purge the low-ranked demons.

The Demon Lord couldn't wrap his head around this situation. No explanation appeared in his head.

Azaroth couldn't be bothered about this Demon Lord's thoughts. He addressed all the demons, "This building is where you shall live from now on. You can't take a step out of this building, or else you will be purge similar to how I purged these Low-Ranked Demons. You can be the judge of whether it's an empty threat or a promise."

"Follow me," Azaroth spoke.

The Demons soon followed him into the building.

This building had four floors, including the ground floor. This building had 300 rooms. 75 rooms on each floor.

These rooms were actually as large as halls, and many things could be stored in them.

Azaroth assigned a set of demons in each room.

For the Mid-Ranked Demons, it was 50 Demons in a single room. They all numbered 3750 or so.

Thus, these Mid-Ranked Demons occupied the 75 rooms on the ground floor.

For the High-Ranked Demons on the first floor, a group of 30 High-Ranked Demons was formed and assigned a single room.

These groups occupied all the rooms on the first floor as well. The High-Ranked Demons totaled 2250 in number.

The Elite-Ranked Demons numbered 600 or so, and their groups consisted of 10 Elite-Ranked Demons. They were assigned the second floor.

And the last but not the least was the third floor. There were many rooms on this floor, but most of them remained empty.

Only 7 rooms were occupied. Each one was occupied by a Demon Lord.

After assigning these rooms to these demons, Azaroth first created a gigantic array that would prevent these demons from escaping the building.

In fact, he had even added some mechanisms in the array which would prevent them from getting out of their rooms.

However, these mechanisms couldn't be trusted for now, especially in the case of the Demon Lord. If they burned their Blood Essence, they could indeed break his array. However, it would be surprising if they paid such a heavy price when they knew they would be captured easily.

However, Azaroth couldn't really leave behind such a loophole for a long time. Thus, he planned to visit each room and construct an array individually.

It would take a lot of time, but fortunately, he did have time now.

During this time, Patrick was investigating all the outer-sect disciples and choosing the elite ones among them.

Azaroth gave him another task. And that was to prepare the latest ranking of all the disciples in this Origin Sect Branch.

By this ranking, he would assign them different rooms in this building and make them fight against the Demons.

These disciples were going to grow by literally stepping on demons' corpses. If nothing else, they would know how to kill. This was what Azaroth wanted from them.

The survivors would be a sharpened sword under Noah's command, ready to slay any opponent.

As for Laura's group, she had to choose her men carefully. Only those warriors with good talent or persistence could become excellent archers. And finding such men was truly not easy.
