A Half-Step Civilization Realm expert, each one is formidable in their own right. When two fellow disciples, both at the Half-Step Civilization Realm, join forces, their combined combat power is enough to shatter heaven and earth. Rarely is there an opponent that two Half-Step Civilization Realm experts working together cannot handle.

However, when confronting the Son of the Demon's ultimate killing move, these two Half-Step Civilization Realm masters were defeated in just twenty exchanges. And that was merely twenty exchanges! It was clear just how impossibly strong the ultimate move unleashed by the Son of the Demon was, causing the expressions of Kong Ni and Kong Mingde to drastically change.

Boundless demonic energy continued to pour into the Son of the Demon’s body. This was the Son of the Demon's current ultimate killing move: Myriad Demons Possession. What is known as Myriad Demons Possession refers to a secret technique where the Son of the Demon utilizes the Myriad Demons Extinction Grand Array.

As previously discussed, the Myriad Demons Extinction Grand Array incorporates demons such as the Trouble Demon, Yin Demon, Heavenly Demon, Death Demon, Sin Demon, Action Demon, Karma Demon, Heart Demon, and so forth. Normally, these fiends merely erode the human body, but now the Son of the Demon had drawn all these demons into himself. Within his body, he practices the True Art of Sacrificial Demons, which allows him to amplify the power of every single demon.

As a result, he could unleash various types of demons at will, and these were all enhanced versions. Ten thousand types of demons, each one amplified by about a hundredfold, and he could switch between them ceaselessly. This ultimate killing move was truly terrifying beyond measure.

“Boundless Trouble, Demon of Trouble.” The Son of the Demon violently struck with this attack. Now aware that this Sixteenth Man was a fearsome opponent, he dared not show the slightest carelessness. In an instant, boundless trouble surged into the great enemy known as the Sixteenth Man.

He intended to plunge his opponent into endless vexation. [Baidu Huashan Immortal Gate for updates.] Amplified by the True Art of Sacrificial Demons, this Trouble Demon became terrifyingly extreme; it was no longer an ordinary Trouble Demon but could be called the Ancestor of Trouble, having reached the Ancestor level. Its inherent power was immeasurably vast, essentially reaching a tier comparable to a Buddha Ancestor.

What an utterly terrifying cultivation technique this was, making a demon into an Ancestor. “Yin Demon’s Yin, the Five Aggregates of Form, Feeling, Perception, Volition, and Consciousness are controlled by the demon.” The Son of the Demon shifted his hand and unleashed the Ancestor of the Yin Demon. “Heavenly Demons plague the world, causing birth and destruction; even Outer Saints shall perish.” This time, the Ancestor of the Heavenly Demon was unleashed.

The Heavenly Demon represents the eternally jealous and undying Outer Sages beyond the heavens; even if you flee beyond the heavens, I will cause your demise. This was the demonic obsession of infinite attachment, and the Ancestor of the Heavenly Demon manifested now was precisely that. “The Death Demon descends; whoever I wish to die, shall die.” The Son of the Demon struck out with the Ancestor of the Death Demon.

Innumerable Demon Ancestors rained down from the Son of the Demon’s hands. This was the Advent of Demon Ancestors! Every single Demon Ancestor was equivalent to a Buddha Ancestor.

It seemed as if, in an instant, Lu Yuan was surrounded by ten thousand Buddha-level entities. These Demon Ancestors were absolutely at the Buddha Ancestor level, though they could not compare to higher-tier ancient Buddha progenitors like the King of Stars Buddha, a being from the Civilization realm; yet, they were still terrifyingly severe and formidable to the extreme. Ten thousand Demon Ancestors, their various demonic energies roiling and surging.

There was the aura of the Sin Demon, the Action Demon, the Karma Demon, the master of the Heart Demon, the aura of the Strange Demon, the Fear Demon, the Night Demon—countless Demon Ancestor auras continuously manifested and clashed chaotically. Lu Yuan now faced the Formation of Ten Thousand Demon Ancestors, much like the Formation of Ten Thousand Buddha Ancestors from the past. [Baidu Huashan Immortal Gate for updates.] The Formation of Ten Thousand Demon Ancestors transformed the area as if one were trapped in a minor demonic civilization, subtly exhibiting the power to demonize the world.

Everything here was rapidly undergoing demonization; even those nearby with righteous energy, like the comparatively weaker Su Yue Mian, felt a tendency toward corruption. If not for their innate righteousness, they might have been demonized even faster. This was the Son of the Demon's most ultimate move; it did not belong to him intrinsically but required the establishment of the Myriad Demons Extinction Grand Array to manifest such a grand technique.

With such a grand technique deployed, the Son of the Demon easily defeated the combined might of Kong Ni and Kong Mingde, both Half-Step Civilization Realm experts. He even possessed the standing to challenge the Son of the Desolation, with a chance of victory. Now that even this ultimate grand formation was displayed, the Sixteenth Man, despite possessing righteousness and being somewhat remarkable, could not possibly prevail.

The Son of the Demon, with lips red and teeth white, skin as pale as snow, and robes as black as ink, lunged heavily toward the Sixteenth Man: “No matter who you are, I must annihilate you, Sixteenth Man! Ten Thousand Demon Ancestors descend!” The ten thousand Demon Ancestors converged into a single strike. This strike was supremely sovereign and supremely demonic, supremely ancestral and supremely evil.

Heaven and earth transformed entirely! How terrifying was this single strike! Kong Ni and Kong Mingde both felt that even together, they absolutely could not withstand such a fearsome blow.

What a powerful strike. The Sixteenth Man was secretly startled inwardly. This blow was distilled to the very essence of the demonic, faintly reminiscent of the person he encountered in the Source of All Evil while briefly studying the Sword Intent of Evil.

However, the person in the Source of All Evil was clearly more terrifying. If not for that Initial Character, he probably wouldn't have been able to handle the Son of the Demon’s ultimate technique. But now?

As the Son of the Demon’s demonic intent reached its zenith, the Sixteenth Man let out a light whistle, and a beam of white light slowly ascended. The Son of the Demon inwardly scoffed, Laughable, truly laughable. He had now invoked the descent of Ten Thousand Demon Ancestors.

If the Son of the Desolation had tried to meet it head-on, he might have believed it possible, but for a mere Sixteenth Man to withstand his attack? His Ten Thousand Demon Ancestors bore down fiercely. Boom!

One boundless, ferocious Demon Ancestor exploded! The second Demon Ancestor exploded! Amidst the (hōng lōng hōng lōng) sounds, the seemingly extremely fragile white light instantly blasted away more than ten Demon Ancestors.

What was the origin of this white light? The Son of the Demon, who had been brimming with confidence, couldn't help but harbor doubt. However, having already launched his ultimate move, there was no possibility of retreating now.

That seemingly fragile white light collided with the surging energies of the Demon Ancestors with a tremendous roar. Dozens of Demon Ancestors were annihilated, hundreds of Demon Ancestors were torn apart. The so-called Demon Ancestors appeared so fragile under the might of this single beam of white light.

This! What on earth was this white light? Eight hundred and fifty-six Demon Ancestors were destroyed, and at this moment, the core of the white light began to reveal what was inside.

It seemed to vaguely take the shape of a single character, and this character possessed an aura of supreme grandeur and rigidity, as if vast, righteous energy emanated from within it. What kind of character could this be? The white light receded slightly, and finally, everyone clearly saw it: it was the character Zheng ().

The Zheng character—wasn't it held by the Vice Master of the Confucian Civilization? Could it be a clone of the Zheng character? No, if it were a clone, it absolutely could not shatter his countless Demon Ancestors as easily as drinking water.

The Son of the Demon immediately confirmed it: this was the Initial Character, Zheng. Now, everything became clear. This Sixteenth Man was actually wielding the Initial Character Zheng!

To directly confront Zheng was only possible with the Demonic Character held by his Master, the Lord of the Demonic Civilization. Therefore, his Myriad Demons Extinction Grand Array, the strike of Ten Thousand Demon Ancestors, was inherently suppressed by this Zheng character. Countless Demon Ancestors continued to be obliterated.

Although the Myriad Demons Extinction Grand Array was terrifying, it was utterly powerless against the Zheng character—precisely its greatest nemesis. The greatest question tormenting the Son of the Demon now was: Who exactly is this Sixteenth Man? Then, the Sixteenth Man flickered with white light and swiftly pursued the Son of the Demon.

The intensity of the killing intent emanating from him was so overwhelming that the Son of the Demon was momentarily stunned. The Son of the Demon sensed that if he continued fighting, he might be killed right here. As the Son of the Demon from the Demonic Civilization, he had made extensive preparations for his arrival here.

He swept his hand, summoning the chaotic energy bubbles, while simultaneously rotating his palm, using the last several thousand Demon Ancestors to intercept the Sixteenth Man's attack. Although the Zheng character was formidable, the thousands of Demon Ancestors were not fake either, buying the Son of the Demon sufficient room to retreat. “Sixteenth Man, though I do not know who you are now, I have noted you.

One who possesses the Initial Character Zheng, I, the Son of the Demon, will one day track you down and slay you.” The Son of the Demon retreated in a fury. He was a considerably powerful figure among the Seven Sons of Fortune. This time, he had intended to contend with the Son of the Desolation, and his first plan was to exclusively claim Mount Stomach, while simultaneously cultivating the Grand Array for Refining the Righteous into the Demonic.

All his plans had proceeded smoothly, and just as he was about to ignite his own grand ambition, such an unforeseen accident occurred, resulting in him being defeated and forced to flee by the last person he had captured, the Sixteenth Man. If he hadn't been thoroughly prepared, he might not have escaped this time. The Son of the Demon, who rarely met his match while dominating the Lost Lands, had suffered such a crushing defeat this time, naturally ensuring he remembered it clearly.

The Son of the Demon completely vanished within the body of the Chaos Civilization Beast. Who was this Sixteenth Man? The Son of the Demon emerged from the Chaos Civilization Beast’s interior.

This time, his failure was absolute, and for the always-victorious Son of the Demon, this loss was a profound blow to his prestige. However, the Son of the Demon quickly regained his composure: “This was a battle between myself and the apex experts of the Central Heavenly Dynasty. Although there were minor miscalculations and an occasional small setback, victory entails defeat; there is no need to dwell on it.” The Son of the Demon’s words deeply impressed the few subordinates who were already waiting for him.

These subordinates were all at the Heavenly Venerate level but had not entered the Civilization Holy Land; they were waiting here to rendezvous. The Son of the Demon dared not linger long in this place. He belonged to the Demonic Civilization, making him essentially a pariah, at least until the grand scheme of the Lord of the Demonic Civilization was executed.

He flew rapidly through the void, though he did not leave the Central Heavenly Dynasty immediately. He had come to investigate certain matters; the small section within the Civilization Holy Land was only one segment of his overall plan—his ambitions were far-reaching. “Lord Son of the Demon, a message has arrived from the Lost Lands.” Someone presented him with a dispatch.

The Son of the Demon took the letter and read its contents. Instantly, the Son of the Demon’s expression drastically changed. “What?

My Demonic Qi Mountain, fully fifty thousand Heavenly-Grade Spirit Stones, are gone, and the Icy Flame has also vanished, disappearing in the direction I inputted into the Myriad Demons Extinction Grand Array.” The Son of the Demon’s face twisted in shock. Someone had tampered with his Myriad Demons Extinction Grand Array. This amounted to fifty thousand Heavenly-Grade Spirit Stones!

Though the Son of the Demon was a disciple of the Lord of the Demonic Civilization, the pain of this loss was acute.
