"It has begun..." Yao Chen murmured, staring in the direction where Shi Yin was.

"Forgive me..." Turning his body around, Yao Chen walked out of the Shi clan with bold, resolute steps.

He cared about nothing. Until he reached the halfway point.

"He-help me..."

"Hahaha! This is what happens when you reject the young master's wishes?!"

The Giant Demons had begun their slaughter. Without a shred of mercy, they started killing, absorbing the blood, and draining the life aura of every single member of the Shi clan.

The sound of battle erupted. Yet, throughout his journey, Yao Chen's presence did not interest the demons at all.

"Kill him..."

"Tsk! Killing trash won't raise my cultivation... I'd better choose someone else to absorb!"

Not a single one of the Giant Demons was interested. They passed by Yao Chen as if they didn't even see him.

However...

Thud!

Yao Chen’s steps came to a halt. He looked down at a teenage girl, her body covered in blood, right in front of him.

"Ma-master Chen, please help me... Yo-you are Mistress Yin's servant... Why are you just standing there doing nothing to save the Shi clan members?!"

Silently, Yao Chen gazed at his surroundings. His eyes grew cold, until the trauma he had buried for so long suddenly surged back to life.

"Arrghhh!" Yao Chen’s mind fell into utter chaos.

Every single memory of the Yao clan's massacre flashed through his mind. The teenage girl before him began to tremble in sheer terror.

"S-servant of the eldest mistress, what is wrong with you?!"

Yao Chen tried to calm his mind. But everything was a mess, as if a voice inside his head was whispering:

"Do not become a God... Become a Demon... The fact that you survived is not without reason. There is only one purpose... REVENGE!" Both of Yao Chen’s eyes turned blood-red on their own.

"Whahaha?!" Yao Chen laughed maniacally.

He finally touched his own forehead. The seals on the memories he had intentionally buried deep within his mind shattered entirely.

Crack!

"Heavenly Demon Emperor Technique?!"

A massive inheritance—all of the Demon techniques—flooded into his mind. Yao Chen then looked back toward the residence of the Shi clan.

"This destruction was caused by me... And what you said is true... I must take responsibility!" Yao Chen supported the girl, helping her stand upright.

"Take action? Hahaha! Aren't you the servant favored by Mistress Yin? Perfect, I will offer your body as a tribute to the young master!"

The demon lunged forward, his body moving like a blurred shadow. Yet, Yao Chen calmly shifted his body just a fraction. The demon warrior, who had completely underestimated Yao Chen, struck nothing but empty air.

BANG!

Splat!

However, something utterly shocking happened. Yao Chen’s hand drove straight through the demon's stomach.

"Y-you..."

"Just a minor demon. Your meridian orb belongs to me now..."

Crack!

Yao Chen ripped out the meridian orb, causing the demon to collapse and momentarily lose consciousness.

Staring at the meridian orb with an incredibly sharp gaze, Yao Chen immediately touched his own forehead.

"Ancient God Blood... ABSORB!"

Swoosh!

His body vibrated violently. For a brief moment, he felt the sensation of his body overflowing with energy. But what shocked the demon warriors was something else entirely.

"H-how can he use the meridian orb of the Giant Demon clan?! Our cultivation path is deviant! There's no way he should be able to use it!"

"D-damn it, this servant..."

Yao Chen closed his eyes. Taking a deep breath, he exhaled slowly.

In an instant, his cultivation broke through, rising to the level of a Demon Warrior.

"Three-Star Soul Dao Foundation!"

BOOM!

"D-damn it, the assimilation was successful..."

Yao Chen began to glare at the demon warriors. Within the span of a single breath, he vanished and reappeared right before them, instantly absorbing the cultivation of the demons to raise his own.

"Whahahahaha!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Fifteen minutes later, right inside the meeting hall of the Shi clan...

"Patriarch of the Shi clan... I am sorry. Not destroying the Shi clan would bring shame upon the Giant Demon clan once a powerful cultivator hears of this marriage rejection... The destruction of the Shi clan must still happen..."

Shi Yu, already heavily wounded, fell silent. He looked at all the clan elders, whose conditions were just as dreadful as his.

"H-how can this be... Can we not negotiate anymore?" Shi Yu tried to defuse the situation.

"Negotiate? What a pity... Our clan's forces have already slaughtered the Shi clan... Is this still something that can be negotiated?" Huang Li felt no remorse whatsoever.

Shi Yu's knees shook violently. But a moment later, Shi Yin—who had regained consciousness and was being held hostage by several elders—was brought into the hall, drawing everyone's eyes toward her.

"Yin'er, if you hadn't rejected Huang Li's marriage proposal, this destruction would have never happened! Now, how are you going to take responsibility?!"

"Yin'er, you have truly destroyed all of our hopes!"

"Even I, as your own father, am deeply disappointed..."

Shi Yin paid no attention to any of their words. She searched for Yao Chen's whereabouts, until before long...

"Where is Yao Chen?!" Shi Yin shouted.

"We are on the brink of destruction, and you still have the mind to look for him?!" Shi Yu barked in anger.

"D-damn it... Has your brain been washed so completely that your mind is always on Yao Chen?!"

"Shi Yin, rest assured... My warriors will bring him here shortly... And on this very day, that servant you fancy will watch us get married right before his eyes!" Huang Li smiled sinisterly.

"Y-young master... But why has not a single one of our demon warriors returned to report? This is very strange..." one of the elders holding Shi Yin noted, looking slightly bewildered.

"True... Destroying the Shi clan shouldn't take this long..." Huang Li muttered, deep in thought.

Amidst the confusion, an answer finally came.

"HUANG LI... COME OUT... AREN'T YOU LOOKING FOR WHERE YOUR SUBORDINATES ARE?" A highly familiar voice echoed into the Shi clan's meeting hall.

Instantly, the faces of Shi Yin and everyone inside the hall contorted in absolute shock.

"Th-this voice..."

Everyone rushed out of the hall, staring up at the sky. There, Yao Chen was hovering in mid-air with the help of his Qin wings, glaring sharply down at everyone.

"Th-this is..." An even greater shock awaited them.

A mountain of skeletal remains belonging to the Giant Demons lay piled beneath Yao Chen's feet. The elders of the Demon clan, realizing the scale of the defeat, immediately looked at Huang Li.

"Who is he? How can a demon kill fellow demons? Young master, it seems that young man's intentions are foul. Let me kill him!"

"H-how could he..." Huang Li didn't answer; his mind simply could not accept reality.

Meanwhile, Yao Chen casually formed a hand seal.

"Soul Chains..."

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The sky suddenly trembled. Accpanied by the tremor, dozens of formation arrays manifested in the heavens, firing thousands of golden-black chains that streaked toward Shi Yin, snatching her body and pulling her straight into Yao Chen's embrace.

Everyone was still frozen by the spectacle, but Shi Yin's voice broke the collective daze.

"A-aren't you supposed to be completely unable to cultivate?!"

    Yao Chen nodded briefly. Though surprised, he had to see it with his own eyes."I want to see who has the same intentions as I do..."His palm touched the jade stele before him. Instantly, his divine soul was sucked directly into it.Seeing his master's divine soul enter the stone stele, Shang Guan immediately sat cross-legged while setting up a defense so that no danger could target his master.Inside the stele chamber.Darkness greeted Yao Chen's vision. There was no light whatsoever, yet his bright golden divine soul began to generate illumination naturally.When his gaze arrived at the spot where he had once placed the severed head of the Demon Emperor, his body stiffened slightly.There were no chains restraining the Demon Emperor's head; instead, it was floating in mid-air, casting a rather terrifying glare."Hundreds of thousands of years have passed... Finally, someone has come whose body I can use..." The voice sounded casual, devoid of heaviness, yet laden with a threat.Hea

    Hearing that complaint, Yao Chen began to turn his body around, then clenched his fists."Devour?!"WOOOOOOOSH!"NO!"screaked the High Elders of the Great Clan along with the Patriarch of the Yue Clan for the very last time. Did the Flame of Heavenly Wrath truly turn the bodies of both into mere ash?!A momentary silence ensued, and with the intimidation of his dragon aura, Shang Guan transformed back into the appearance of a youth. He then gazed sharply at all the soldiers of the Yue Clan who were still trying to comprehend what had just happened."Do you wish to surrender, or die..." His tone sounded casual, yet cold enough to shatter the courage of every single warrior."We only followed the orders of the Yue Clan's Patriarch... How could we possibly have the courage to fight you?!"All the soldiers dropped to their knees, and several among them began to speak."The God of War has greatly helped our cultivation improve... Whatever the Xiao Clan provided was never meant for regular

    "Is-isn't the technique used by the Yue Clan Patriarch one of the strongest body refinement techniques owned by the Xiao Clan? Rumor has it that while you can't use skill martial arts, a single punch can shatter mountains, split rivers, and surely destroy anything in its path?!" "This time, we are truly going to see the final outcome of their feud!" Elsewhere on the battlefield... The Grand Elder of the Yue Clan was utterly powerless. Suffering from every single one of Shang Guan's attacks, he was simply unable to hold out any longer. "Pa-Patriarch, I..." Yue Yan Zhong glanced briefly toward that side of the fight. "Use the technique granted by the Xiao Clan..." "May I?" "USE IT!" His voice thundered with overwhelming pressure. Gradually, the body of the Yue Clan Grand Elder underwent the exact same transformation. Naturally, this action ignited Shang Guan's fighting spirit even further. "Hahaha! Your body seems quite tough?! I can't wait to test it out!" ROAAAAAR! Roarin

    Meanwhile, the old man was already arriving in front of Yao Chen. A blood-red sword, about a meter long, materializer in his hand. Instantly alert, Yao Chen blocked the attack with his heavy slab sword, creating a spatial rift upon impact. It wasn't particularly wide, but it was enough to show that the two of them were truly evenly matched in terms of power. Both were thrown back in opposite directions. Yue Yan Zhong’s face contorted; he felt the blood sword in his hand grow slightly dull, as if it had been damaged, though the effect was not yet entirely clear. "That greatsword..." Yao Chen smirked cold. "Do you ever stop talking trash?!" SWOOSH! He shot forward, charging straight at Yue Yan Zhong. A single swing of the slab sword forced the old man to block with his blood sword. Thus, a clash of sword techniques erupted in the sky. Two beams of light repeatedly collided above the heavens. In less than two minutes... "Ho-how is this possible?!" After exchanging more than

    However, not Yao Chen and Shang Guan. Neither of them felt any pressure, causing the Grand Elder of the Yue Clan, who was at the peak High God realm, to narrow his eyes."Patriarch, something feels strange... The two of them don't seem to be suppressed by the oppressive aura you're releasing at all?!""Hahahahaha! So this is your ambition? Even though the Yao Clan has fallen, it doesn't mean I can't keep you in check anymore... Back then, we supplied you with massive resources so you could protect the Demon Emperor's severed head from falling into the hands of greedy people... But..." Yao Chen's remark was abruptly cut off."You think the emergence of two peak High God stage experts in the Yue Clan was due to the intervention of those trash resources from the Yao Clan? No, Yao Chen?! Because our capabilities are backed by the Xiao Clan... And our primary mission in coming out of seclusion is to kill you..."WUUUUUUUUSH!Slapping his palm through the air, an energy-formed giant palm—po

    The high-ranking figures of the Lu, Nan, and Fu clans who were present narrowed their gaze.Two youths—one with horns, possessing a distinctive, striking aura carrying a faint hint of a dragon’s presence—stared back at them. Meanwhile, the other, bearing a remarkably relaxed expression whom they also recognized, met their shock-filled gazes head-on."Yao Chen?! How dare you become an uninvited guest in our territory?!""Indeed?! Now give us accountability for the massacre you committed?!" chimed in the head of the Nan clan, prompting Yao Chen to raise an eyebrow."Isn't this statement reversed, Patriarch of the Fire Dragon Clan?"The high-ranking figures of the three clans in the Heaven Continent instantly wore cautious expressions toward the Patriarch of the Fire Dragon Clan.However, the man still tried to remain calm, refusing to be provoked. After all, he needed the three intermediate-tier powers of the Heaven Continent to subdue Yao Chen."Hmph?! Trying to pit us against each oth
