Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Another series of ear-deafening noises entered the Watcher's ears, stunning him. He saw a whirlpool would appear in the air every time it rumbled. The whirlpools looked like fireworks in the air. It was dazzling and eye-catching. In just a blink of an eye, hundreds of whirlpools had appeared in the air. Monsters that appeared like minotaurs would emerge from the whirlpools. The whirlpools would disappear once a monster had emerged from it as though it had completed its task.
As hundreds of whirlpools disappeared, hundreds of monsters that looked like minotaurs had appeared as well.
Suddenly, the biggest monster among the group of minotaur-like monsters laughed loudly. It was about eight to ten meters tall. His laughter contained an energy that made the air in the surroundings vibrate.
The laughter of this monster had also caused the eardrums of the Watcher to rupture. It seemed as though he had lost all sanity as he began to bleed from all seven orifices.
"How powerful!" The Watcher's face was pale at this moment. A hint of terror could be seen in his eyes as he looked at the monster that was laughing.
The monster was as strong as the leader of the first-rate force the Watcher was from! Just the energy from his laughter was enough to injure a Martial Cultivator like him who was at the Quintessential Saint Stage to the point where he was bleeding from all seven orifices.
This was not something an ordinary person could have done.
"I can't believe that after several hundreds of thousands of years later, the warriors from the Ox Devil Clan would be the first to step on this rich land…" the monster that was eight to ten meters tall said loudly after he stopped laughing.
"Hundreds of thousands of years? The Ox Devil Clan?" The Watcher's eyes widened when he heard the monster's words. His body began to tremble as though he had recalled something.
"Could it be… Could this… monsters be from the Devil Clan from the legendary Land of Exile?" The Watcher had read about the Human-Devil Era from hundreds of thousands of years ago from an ancient book. That era had been extremely chaotic!
During that era, let alone a Quintessential Saint Stage Martial Cultivator, there were many powerhouses at the Saint Celestial Stage and above who died every day. They were killed by the devils from the Land of Exile.
During the Human-Devil Era, everyone would be horrified just hearing by hearing the word 'devil'.
Countless humans had died during the Great Human-Devil War before they were able to chase the devils back to the Land of Exile.
'What happened? It has only been hundreds of thousands of years, but these devils manage to make their way here from the Land of Exile? Don't tell me we're going to enter the Human-Devil Era again?' The moment the Watcher thought of this, various expressions flitted across his face. Terror could be seen in his eyes.
To humans, the Human-Devil Era was a huge disaster.
"Tenth elder, there's a human there!" The Watcher heard a loud voice, causing him to regain his senses.
When the Watcher looked at the source of the voice, he realized he had been discovered by the monsters.
The monster had addressed the biggest monster as tenth elder. In just a blink of an eye, the tenth elder turned to look at the Watcher.
The Watcher trembled in fear as the monster stared at him. When he saw the monster making his way to him, he felt as though his legs had turned into lead, rendering him immobile. He had no energy to move at all.
The tenth elder of the Ox Devil Clan soon arrived before the Watcher. It glared at him with huge eyes and said in a thunderous voice, "Human, tell me about the current situation in the Saint Province Realm…"
The Watcher felt as though he was suffocating when faced with the tenth elder from the Ox Devil Clan. However, he still obediently told the monster about the current situation in the Dao Martial Saint Land. Although he had never heard of the Saint Province Realm, he knew the monster was referring to the realm he was in.
"The Dao Martial Saint Land has split in two? The powerhouses have gone to the Upper Province and the weak ones remain in the Lower Province?" The tenth elder of Ox Devil Clan muttered to himself when he heard the Watcher's words. It did not seem shocked. It was as though he was just confirming something he had already known.
As a matter of fact, the tenth elder of the Ox Devil Clan knew about all these through Zhu Lu Qi who had been accidentally sent to the Land of Exile.
After learning about the situation in the Saint Province Realm from Zhu Lu Qi, under the monster's coercion, it also learned about how Zhu Lu Qi had appeared in the Land of Exile through the Inter-province Transportation Formation!
Under Zhu Lu Qi's guidance, he found the place where the space barrier was much weaker. It was near the Inter-province Transportation Formation in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. After that, it had gathered all the elite warriors from the Ox Devil Clan and forcefully tore the space barrier through sheer strength. That was how the monsters had managed to appear in the Dao Martial Saint Land.
Unfortunately, Zhu Lu Qi who had lost all use after he had revealed all the information he knew was killed by the tenth elder of the Ox Devil Clan.
"Not only that, the only Inter-province Transportation Formation linking the Lower Province to the Upper Province has just been destroyed…" The Watcher said in dismay.
"The Inter-province Transportation Formation is destroyed?" The tenth elder of the Ox Devil Clan was momentarily stunned when he heard this. However, a delighted expression appeared on his face soon after.
'This means the Devil Clan can build up our energy in the Lower Province before we invade the Upper Province and unify the Saint Province Realm?!' The moment the tenth elder of the Ox Devil Clan thought of this, he became extremely excited.
Previously, the Devil Clan was defeated because they did not make sufficient preparation. However, now, they could build their energy in the Lower Province and get stronger before they invade the Upper Province and unify the Saint Province Realm!
"Very good! Since you've given me good news, I'll grant you a quick death!" As the tenth elder of the Ox Devil Clan looked at the Watcher, its right hand landed down on the Watcher, killing him.
After killing the Watcher, the tenth elder from the Ox Devil Clan opened its mouth and absorbed the vital blood and essence from the Watcher's body that had yet to dissipate.
After a while, the Watcher's body turned into a dried corpse.
"Warriors, the strongest person in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land is only at the Quintessential Saint Stage. Even the weakest among all you would be able to easily kill them!" The tenth elder of the Ox Devil Clan looked at the hundreds of Ox Devils that followed him to the Saint Province Realm and announced loudly, "From now on, you're free to roam the land here and feast as you like! Before the other clans arrive, the Ox Devil Clan can occupy the places with the best resources!"
After the tenth elder of the Ox Devil Clan finished speaking, the Ox Devils broke out in a commotion. They were seething with excitement.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
Hundreds of elite warriors from the Ox Devil Clan began to move out after receiving their order.
After the group of elite warriors from the Ox Devil Clan left, the tenth elder from the Ox Devil Clan muttered to itself, "The dawn of the Human-Devil Era is here again. This time, our Ox Devil Clan will become the vanguard of the Devil Clan and slaughter our way to the Saint Province Realm and open up the path for the Devil Clan! The day the Devil Clan invades this realm is coming!" In just a blink of an eye, it left the area as well.
The beginning of a huge catastrophe began to unfold in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land with the arrival of the Ox Devils.
Naturally, Duan Ling Tian who was in the Fire Worship Sect in the Upper Province was completely unaware of what was happening. He did not even know the Inter-province Transportation Formation that linked the Lower Province to the Upper Province had been destroyed.
Currently, it would not be easy for people to travel from the Lower Province to the Upper Province unless there was a powerhouse who excelled in Formations set up another Inter-province Transportation Formation in the Lower Province.
However, a powerhouse who could set up an Inter-province Transportation Formation only lived in the Upper Province. Even then, they were as rare as a phoenix's feather.
Naturally, there powerhouses like that in the Devil Clan as well. The devils would have to rely on these powerhouses to make their way to the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.
No matter how powerful the people in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land were, they could no longer freely enter the Lower Province since the Inter-province Transportation Formation in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land had been destroyed.
One could say that the Upper Province and the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land were separated for good for the time being!
From now on, the people in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land could only enter the Lower Province depending on the Devil Clan's mood since only the devils were able to set up an Inter-province Transportation Formation in the Lower Province.
...
In the Enforcement Hall of the Fire Worship Sect.
A few days had passed, but there was no movement from Dong Lin's side. Duan Ling Tian was quite surprised by this.
"Don't tell me Vice Hall Master Dong is going to let the matter of me humiliating his son go?"
A few days ago, Duan Ling Tian had unreservedly and openly humiliated Dong Lin by beating him up!
