The sheer power emanating from Ye Jingyu struck a look of stark horror onto the faces of every demon present. They barely had time to react before the immense pressure accompanying the Cangsheng Seal bore down upon them. Many lower-cultivation demons began to shatter instantly; only a select few managed to hold on, but the subsequent barrage of staff shadows smashed them into dust.

By the time the colossal palm print of the Cangsheng Seal truly descended, over ninety percent of the demons in the vicinity had already been annihilated. Even the Primordial Spirits of the Destruction Lord, the Fear Lord, and the Greed Lord—who had already deployed their Ninth-Rank Golden Lotuses—were stunned by the terrifying extent of Ye Jingyu’s might. They recoiled desperately, retreating thousands of zhang in an instant. Without their defense, the remaining demons stood no chance against the palm’s destructive force. When that massive hand slammed down, the entire Demon Palace was pulverized into fragments, leveled to barren ground.

The Demon Palace, constructed of exceptionally sturdy materials, seemed no more substantial than paper under the Cangsheng Seal. In that single strike, the entire palace, along with no less than two hundred thousand demons, was utterly vaporized into ash, their flesh and blood mingling with the debris of the ruins.

Rivers of dark-gold blood seeped out from the wreckage, strikingly conspicuous against the destruction.

Seeing this carnage, the expressions on the faces of the Destruction Lord, the Fear Lord, and the Greed Lord were beyond grim. This wedding had gathered nearly every core member of the Earth Alliance, yet in one blow from Ye Jingyu, so many City Lords and Generals had perished. Even Mu, the City Lord of Tianman City, was utterly annihilated, leaving no remains save for the few personal Battle Generals who had remained closely beside the three Lords. From the Guards reaching the Desolate Tier to the City Lords at the peak of the Cosmos Tier, all were reduced to dust by Ye Jingyu’s Cangsheng Seal and the Monkey’s staff shadows.

This loss was unequivocally the most devastating in the entire history of the Earth Alliance. Glimpsing Ye Jingyu and the Monkey standing amidst the ruins, the few surviving demons could only stare, their eyes blazing with pure fury.

“You all must die, you must die!” the Destruction Lord roared in maddened rage. His body began to swell instantly. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a colossal monster, towering ten thousand zhang high, covered in scales, sporting a pair of massive wings, and bearing eighteen pairs of eyes on his head. In his hands materialized two immense war hammers forged from an unknown, formidable material.

“He’s mine…” Noticing the Destruction Lord’s monstrous transformation, the Monkey burst into roaring laughter. His form shifted as well, transforming into a giant ape exceeding ten thousand zhang in height, his Ruyi Jingu Bang swelling commensurately into a colossal staff.

A pressingly intimidating battle intent exploded from his core. It was clear that years of lonely existence in the Primordial Realm had left him utterly weary; encountering such a worthy opponent now demanded a proper engagement.

Ye Jingyu said nothing more. He merely smiled as he looked toward the Greed Lord, the Fear Lord, and the Primordial Spirit who shielded himself with the Ninth-Rank Golden Lotus.

“Gentlemen, he is the guest. Since he has chosen his side, the three of you shall be my responsibility.”

“Hmph…” Hearing Ye Jingyu announce he would face three opponents simultaneously, the Fear Lord and the Greed Lord snorted in unison. The Primordial Spirit remained silent, while the Battle Generals whom Ye Jingyu had pointedly ignored felt a surge of incandescent anger.

Following the snorts of the two Lords, the few remaining Battle Generals charged forward. Sensing their cultivation levels subtly approaching the Universe Tier, Ye Jingyu’s smile grew even brighter. Such fine physical bodies and formidable strength—perhaps these would be the foundation needed to help those Heavenly Shamans coalesce into true forms?

Just as this thought crossed his mind, the Fear Lord and the Greed Lord attacked simultaneously. The Fear Lord manifested a long saber, fully three zhang in length. Black mist coiled around the blade, which itself shone with a light alternating between black and white—the very essence of Destruction and Creation.

With just a glance, Ye Jingyu knew that although this saber might not have been famous in the Primordial Era, its grade was undoubtedly high, perhaps on par with innate artifacts like the Fantian Seal. The strength of these Lords alone seemed insufficient to forge such a potent weapon. Did they have backers?

With no time to ponder such questions, the Fear Demon King’s saber tore through the void, arriving before Ye Jingyu. Ye Jingyu rapidly retreated backward, grasping the Tianzun Saber in his hand, meeting the incoming great blade head-on. With a sharp clang, the seven-colored Tianzun Saber instantly developed two nicks. At that very moment, Bing, the Fear Lord’s Battle General; Yuan, the Destruction Lord’s Battle General; and Li, the Greed Lord’s Battle General, simultaneously surged toward Ye Jingyu, launching a combined punch.

That punch, too, ripped the void apart. Simultaneously, the Greed Lord charged forward, wielding a three-pronged fork no less potent than the saber, aiming directly for Ye Jingyu’s heart.

Facing this coordinated assault, Ye Jingyu maintained his confident demeanor. His Tianzun Saber continued to clash against the Greed Lord’s trident. He paid the attack from the three Battle Generals absolutely no heed.

This blatant dismissal thoroughly infuriated the three subordinates. Their punches accelerated, growing stronger, and just as they seemed moments from shattering Ye Jingyu, they suddenly saw him turn and offer them a brief smile. Immediately following this, a silver moon wheel flickered above his forehead, unleashing a silver ray that slammed into the three demons. That irresistible force blasted the Battle Generals backward, sending them flying…

At that precise instant, Ye Jingyu’s Tianzun Saber finally met the Greed Demon’s trident. With another resounding crack, Ye Jingyu was jolted backward repeatedly, and his Tianzun Saber sustained yet another noticeable notch. Evidently, the current grade of the Tianzun Saber was inferior to the weapons held by the two Lords.

The Fear Lord surged forward once more, but Ye Jingyu seemed to lose interest in continuing the direct engagement. Instead, he shifted his footing with ease, effortlessly evading the strike. He darted toward the three Battle Generals, who were currently stunned and bound by the power of the Reincarnation Eye. A cascade of golden light poured forth, instantly enveloping and capturing the three subordinates.

Seeing Ye Jingyu snatch his subordinates right under his nose, the Fear Lord and the Greed Lord were utterly enraged…
