Ye Jingyu's figure surged to the very front, a cold smile playing on his lips as he faced the charge of thousands of demonic warriors of every conceivable shape. He drew the twelve Bone Chopsticks and flung them outward in one motion. Instantly, the heavens and earth shifted color; dense, gloomy clouds gathered, and thick black mist permeated the area. This time, Ye Jingyu expanded the array's scope to a radius of one hundred li, the absolute limit of his current capability. Fully several hundred thousand demonic soldiers were trapped within the grand formation.

Innumerable fiends scrambled forth from the void. While these fiends might pose no threat to a Ninth-Rank Demon Lord, they were a fatal blow to the demonic ranks whose highest members barely reached Sixth Rank, with the lowest not even qualifying as Demon Generals.

Hanba's form plunged directly into the array. Her body transformed into a colossal spectral silhouette that lunged at the demonic horde. Wherever she passed, all demons had their vital blood essence drained away, meeting instant death.

The other eleven spectral figures also burst forth. Though Zhu Rong had not yet fully solidified his form, he could already exert a degree of combat power independently, not draining Ye Jingyu's strength. He transformed into a blazing inferno that swept over the demons, turning everything in his path to ash, absorbing every drop of their vital essence cleanly. Ye Jingyu watched as the bodies of Zhu Rong and Hanba grew progressively clearer.

As for the other ten spectral figures, while they hadn't yet achieved massive destructive capability, they trailed behind the primary fiends. Whenever a demon was killed or even lightly wounded—even a nick on a fingertip—they would immediately pounce and devour the opening.

However, although these fiends were numerous, they were few compared to the hundreds of thousands; the rate at which these few spectral entities consumed blood-food was significantly slower, especially when compared to Hanba and Zhu Rong.

At this juncture, Ye Jingyu had arrived at the center of the array. While shaking the Chiyou Banner to shield the Nine Phoenix beside him, he gripped the Heavenly Venerable Blade and charged out. Streaks of blinding blade light continuously shot forth. The colossal slashes effortlessly cut down the demons. Be they Blood Clan or Wolf Clan, none could withstand a single blow; often, a single strike felled dozens, even hundreds. And shielded by the Twelve Heavenly Witches Extinction Grand Array, these demons could barely scratch him.

Even Nine Phoenix could easily slaughter these demons.

With his entry, the massacre of the demonic forces accelerated dramatically. Little Peach Peach also rushed into the fray, opening her massive maw and inhaling deeply, often swallowing several demons in a single gulp.

Her power had reached the peak state of an Eighth-Level Savage Beast; anything weaker than her was instantly consumed, body and soul entirely converted into her own strength. Her digestive capacity was immense now; these ordinary demons were barely enough to tickle her throat.

Ni Bo’s four hooves kicked up sprays of flame as he executed the Seven Steps of Ni Bo. When the seventh step landed, the very void began to crack, and the bodies of over a hundred demonic warriors shattered, spraying a mist of blood that became the blood-food for those ten spectral figures.

Lin Xiaoyi’s battle saber also erupted with dazzling radiance. Having reached the Seventh Heaven of the Martial God realm, he finally possessed the ability to stand on his own. Facing these Demon Lords, whose strength topped out at Sixth Rank, he charged forward without reservation.

As for Hu Yanqi and Hu Yanmeng, combined with Chi Yixiu, they formed an invincible unit. Even without employing the Sunset Arrow, every shot from Hu Yanqi possessed terrifying power, nearly capable of extinguishing several demons’ lives with each release. Under Yue Hen’s tutelage, the power of Hu Yanqi’s spiritual bow had grown ever stronger; these demonic warriors served as the perfect sparring partners.

Meanwhile, Liang Xiaoke exclusively targeted the Blood Clan trapped within the array. His body had swelled to the size of ten zhang, his scales fully flared, sharp fangs bared in his grin. The demons’ attacks barely managed to graze him, and his speed had reached its absolute limit; not a single Blood Clan member could escape his hunt.

Yes, he was hunting now. His claws swept out continuously; with every swipe, he managed to snatch a Blood Clan’s Core, instantly popping it into his mouth. One after another, quicker than eating peanuts.

In less than fifteen minutes, the number of Blood Clan members he had slain exceeded a thousand, including at least a hundred experts at the Demon Lord realm. These Cores were the finest supplements for him, and his strength rose rapidly. Monike also remained by his side, slaughtering the demons to her heart’s content.

Within the Twelve Heavenly Witches Extinction Grand Array, the demons' strength was severely weakened, making it impossible for them to inflict any harm upon Ye Jingyu and his allies.

Just as Liang Xiaoke finished eliminating the Blood Clan around him and prepared to turn toward the other demons, a dazzling figure appeared before him.

“Leilina?” Liang Xiaoke exclaimed, utterly stunned to see one of his women here. With a flash, he appeared beside Leilina, tearing apart several fiends attacking her, then pulling her close to shield her.

“Ah, Xiao Ke, sob, Xiao Ke, you must avenge me, sob…” Leilina’s strength was slight; in a battle like this, she wouldn't even count as cannon fodder. A series of attacks from several fiends had brought her to the brink of death. She had expected certain doom, never imagining she would encounter her man here.

“What exactly happened?” Liang Xiaoke’s massive aura radiated outward, forcing back any demon attempting to approach. He gripped Leilina’s shoulders tightly, demanding with deep anger.

“His Majesty has been imprisoned by the Eight Grand Elders! My father refused to obey them and was killed too. My power is so low, and they sent me here to die—sob, sob—Xiao Ke, I’m so scared…” In the span of a few days, the Silver Serpent Clan had undergone tremendous upheaval, leaving Leilina emotionally and physically drained. Seeing Liang Xiaoke, she could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

Seeing Leilina in such a wretched state, Liang Xiaoke instantly flared with rage. In his eyes, whether it was Leilina or Monike, they were his women. If he couldn't even protect his own women properly, what kind of man was he?

It was at this precise moment that the Ninth-Rank Demon Lords, having realized the terror of Ye Jingyu’s array, made a decision: seven Demon Lords from the Silver Serpent Clan charged directly into the formation, attempting to utterly annihilate Ye Jingyu, the array master, lest this formation drain too much of their manpower…

“Big Brother, the seven elders of the Silver Serpent Clan have entered the formation. Make your move!” At this moment, Ye Jingyu, having sensed everything, transmitted this message.

Hearing this news, Liang Xiaoke’s eyes immediately turned crimson…
