“The human race, deserves to die!”

Seeing Pei Xuanjing and the others killing countless demonic beasts with every strike induced fury in General Bei and the other Great Demons. Their pain was palpable.

It should be noted that although the Demon Race is numerous and diverse, its cultivation path is much more challenging compared to the human race.

Through their return and the method of blood sacrifice, they managed to instill spiritual awareness in countless demonic beasts. But now their cultivated demon cultivators in the Spirit Realm were being massacred by the human race, filling them with increasing desperation.

“Kill them!” General Bei roared furiously, launching his attack.

There was no need for further words.

Not mentioning that the human race and the Demon Race in the Sky Wasteland were mortal enemies that had been engaging in ceaseless fighting for countless years, the current massacre that the human race carried out against the Demon Race already indicated that there was no need for further debate.

The demon qi shot up into the sky. Nine Great Demons of the Demon Race, each one minimally at the Spirit Realm Second Layer, cast aside all hesitation and charged at Pei Xuanjing and his team.

“Bring it on!”

After Zhao Baiyang casually killed a demonic beast with a palm strike, he let out a loud laugh and charged at one of the Great Demons.

The vigorous wind surged rapidly, fanning into a violent gale. His hands swiftly formed seals—True Qi and Blood Qi entwined and quickly condensed into a seal. This seal, which contained enormous power, suppressed its targets like an imposing mountain.

Although Zhao Baiyang had previously been easily defeated by Pei Xuanjing when he joined forces with several other Spirit Realm cultivators, this was mainly due to Pei Xuanjing’s formidable strength. One should not underestimate Zhao Baiyang because of it.

Him not being a match for Pei Xuanjing did not mean that his strength wasn’t strong. This was a man widely acknowledged as the strongest ever leader of the Mire Sect—with exceptional talent. He was even ranked by Bai Xiaosheng on the Supreme List. How could he be ordinary?

Despite currently only being at the Spirit Realm Second Layer, after the integration of various branches from the White Lotus Sect, his skills had improved significantly. The terrifying battle power he demonstrated could potentially challenge a cultivator at the Spirit Realm Third Level.

Zhao Baiyang was fighting a Great Demon; meanwhile, Qingxu Daoist, Old Sky Master, Xue Wuheng, and several others from the Daming World also each engaged a Great Demon in battle.

Originally, they were on the same level as Pei Xuanjing. However, after the revival of Heaven and Earth, Pei Xuanjing had risen above them—his strength far surpassing theirs, which naturally made them discontent.

If they could grudgingly accept Pei Xuanjing’s rapid progress, the revelation of Wang Bo’an’s Spirit Realm Third Level strength was a huge blow to these powerful cultivators.

As formidable beings who once stood at the apex, they certainly couldn’t tolerate being left behind by others. That was difficult for them to accept.

Thus, they came here today to fight life-and-death battles with these Great Demons in order to hone their own Dao and improve their cultivation.

Each of them had their reasons for taking action. For instance, the Xue siblings, who had been confined by Pei Xuanjing on Shenxiao Mountain for several years, had naturally been harboring resentment. However, because they were far from being a match for Pei Xuanjing, they could only vent their resentment on these Great Demons.

As a disciple of Heart Moon Lake, Mu Binghua also held great hatred for the Demon Race. Drawing her sword, she showed no mercy.

As a candidate for the future Holy Woman of Heart Moon Lake, she had the exclusive access to Heart Moon Lake’s secret cultivation methods. Coupled with being at the Spirit Realm Third Level, she was arguably the strongest person after Pei Xuanjing in the battlefield.

Nine human experts were battling against nine Great Demons. Their encounters had created violent tremors. These ordinary demonic beasts couldn’t resist such terrifying bouts and could only scatter and flee.

Unfortunately, even after these nine humans took action, there were still Pei Xuanjing and Mr. Wu from the Witch Deity Teaching. Pei Xuanjing’s strength, of course, went without saying. Even without using a Divine Weapon, every move he made resulted in a demonic beast getting killed. They didn’t stand a chance to resist.

The mysterious Mr. Wu from the Witch Deity Teaching was also in a league of his own. He was shrouded in a black robe. Every time he took action, a demonic beast would be killed. He maintained his tranquility, making his level of skill seem profoundly unfathomable.

After they had finished killing the remaining Spirit Realm demonic beasts, they no longer took action against the ordinary demonic beasts under the Spirit Realm. Instead, they decided to leave these demonic beasts for the armies at the rear to kill. After all, these demonic beasts were good sharpening stones.

After doing all this, Pei Xuanjing hovered in mid-air, his robe fluttering in the wind. He watched the nine humans and the nine demons fighting from afar, as if he had no intention of intervening.

“Aren’t you going to take action, Master?” the hoarse voice of Mr. Wu resonated by Pei Xuanjing’s side.

Pei Xuanjing chuckled, “I’m afraid our friends don’t want me to intervene.”

He could easily discern their thoughts. He knew what these people aimed for and that if he intervened recklessly, he wouldn’t be thanked but would instead invite complaints.

Moreover, he could tell that although these Great Demons were powerful, they couldn’t gain the upper hand against the nine top-level human cultivators.

Qingxu Daoist, Old Sky Master, Zhao Baiyang, and the others who hailed from the Daming World had started from the very bottom and eventually reached the peak. Although initially, the world they were in didn’t favor them as much as it did the Great Demons or the successors of the major forces in the Tianhuang World, it was because of this world that they honed their will to become powerful and gained vast combat experience. With Divine Weapons in their hands, their strength surpassed others; there was absolutely nothing to worry about.

Though Mu Binghua and the Xue siblings were young and probably lacked combat experience, their privileged backgrounds gave them unmatched advantages.

When they unleashed their boundless martial studies secrets along with Divine Weapons and treasures, they were something the Great Demons couldn’t compete with.

Besides, with Pei Xuanjing and Mr. Wu lurking on the side, the Great Demons needed to be cautious, sparing some attention to the potential actions of Pei Xuanjing and the others. Consequently, they couldn’t give their all.

Pei Xuanjing turned his gaze to Mr. Wu standing beside him and asked, “Mr. Wu, don’t you feel like joining the battle either?”

He was quite curious about this mysterious Mr. Wu, wondering about his identity and motives.

According to Xue Hanyi, in the Tianhuang World, although the Witch Deity Teaching was a top-ranked force, it was also extremely mysterious. They generally kept to themselves and rarely interacted with outsiders.

Also, Xue Hanyi told Pei Xuanjing that when the sovereign since their previous visit had mentioned that soon after the revival of the ancestral land, the power of the returning strong cultivators must not be too strong, hence, their generation of youths was chosen to return.

But clearly, this was not the case for Mr. Wu. Given his age, he was certainly not considered part of the younger generation. Xue Hanyi speculated that he was likely part of the group that had willingly reduced their cultivation levels to return to their ancestral lands.

What was so important that a formidable cultivator would willingly reduce their cultivation level to return to their ancestral lands?
