After the Shura Emperor was confirmed as the commander for this operation, he briefly outlined his opinions and arrangements, and finally, everyone unanimously agreed with his suggestions.

However, what they didn’t know was that Xuan Youzi was secretly planning to send information about this to the Demon Race. Wang Yufan, who was standing by, merely watched in silence. He also felt that the Shura Emperor had a knack for leading troops in battle; his words made a lot of sense. It seemed that his decision not to be the commander was indeed the most correct one.

After the arrangements were made, the Shura Emperor suggested that everyone rest for the night. The next morning, all personnel, along with those from their respective realms, were to gather at the outskirts of the Lingxu Realm.

When everyone had left, only Wang Yufan remained.

"Uh, Young Master Changsheng, do you think there’s anything inappropriate about my arrangements? If so, please point it out. I’d like to hear it. I saw that the others didn’t seem to have any major issues," the Shura Emperor said.

"I also think your deployment is good," Wang Yufan replied.

"Oh? Then, Young Master Changsheng, are you staying here because you have something else to tell me?" As expected of a Divine Emperor, the Shura Emperor had guessed Wang Yufan’s intention.

"You’re right, I do have something to tell you. I just wanted to remind you to pay attention to Xuan Youzi from the You Realm. I feel that his heart might not be with us," Wang Yufan said.

"What does Young Master Changsheng mean by that? Are you implying that Xuan Youzi is a spy for the Demon Race? How could that be? He is the strongest person in the You Realm. Moreover, as far as I know, one of his brothers once died at the hands of the Demon Race, so his hatred for the Demon Race is no less than ours," the Shura Emperor said.

"Whether it is or isn’t, that’s for you to discover. I’ve given you the warning, in any case." After Wang Yufan finished speaking, he turned and left. Watching Wang Yufan’s retreating figure, the Shura Emperor fell into deep thought.

"Could Xuan Youzi truly have betrayed humanity? Regardless of whether what Young Master Changsheng said is true or false, I must remain vigilant to prevent any mishaps in tomorrow’s great battle," the Shura Emperor muttered, and a gleaming Demon Sealing Sword suddenly appeared in his hand.

"With you, I think the chances of winning tomorrow’s battle against the Demon Race will be even greater, and Young Master Changsheng is also here. Well, I’ll go prepare thoroughly then." After the Shura Emperor finished speaking to himself, he flashed and disappeared from the main hall.

On the sixth day, in the early morning, as the first ray of dawn broke, the sound of war horns echoed continuously above the Asura Realm.

Led by the Shura Emperor, hundreds of thousands of elites from the Asura Realm floated above the Asura Emperor City. They wore blood-red armor, held weapons, and their eyes were filled with unwavering conviction. They knew their purpose for this journey, and that it could very likely be life-threatening, but for the safety of the human race, they all stepped forward.

The Asura Emperor City was packed with people from the Asura Realm who had come to send them off. They were all aware of the impending attack on the Demon Race, and watching their loved ones depart filled them with a heavy heart.

Standing in the square of the Asura Emperor City, the Shura Emperor leaped up, directly hovering in front of everyone, and loudly declared:

"Good! Your spirits look quite good today. I hope you can display the same courage on the battlefield. Do not disgrace our human race. Annihilate the Demon Race completely, and do not let them harm a single inch of our human land." After the Shura Emperor finished speaking,

the soldiers began to shout:

"Slay demons and defend the Dao! Humanity prospers forever!"

Watching the soldiers shout such words, the Shura Emperor was very pleased. The Shura Emperor looked around and found that Wang Yufan was not present. Just as he was about to transmit a message, a slip of paper flew from the sky.

"Depart immediately. I will follow shortly. -- Young Master Changsheng."

Understanding, the Shura Emperor shouted to the hundreds of thousands of soldiers:

"Everyone, follow this Emperor!" After the Shura Emperor finished speaking, his figure flashed, and he took the lead, soaring into the starry sky. The hundreds of thousands of soldiers behind him also transformed into streams of light, majestically soaring into the starry sky.

In the Asura Emperor City.

"Grandpa, do you think they’ll come back?" a child less than ten years old asked an old man with white hair beside him.

The old man remained silent. After an unknown amount of time, his eyes filled with firm conviction as he said:

"Yes, they will definitely come back."

...

In the starry sky, after about half an hour of travel, the Shura Emperor, leading hundreds of thousands of soldiers, encountered Red Scale of the Demon Race, who was also heading towards the rendezvous point. Behind Red Scale was also a massive army, with various demonic beasts all above the Human Immortal realm in strength, their eyes filled with crimson divine light.

"Hahaha, Brother Red Scale, what a coincidence!" the Shura Emperor said.

"Brother Shura, what a coincidence for you too. Why don’t I see Young Master Changsheng?" Red Scale asked.

"Young Master Changsheng will arrive shortly. Let’s head over first. I wonder if the people from the other realms have arrived yet," the Shura Emperor continued.

"Yes, we can’t waste any more time. Let’s depart together." After Red Scale finished speaking,

the Shura Emperor suddenly remembered something and transmitted a message to Red Scale: "When we reach the outside of the Demon Realm, be careful of Xuan Youzi. This person may have already joined the Demon Race."

Upon hearing this, Red Scale, who was about to move, immediately stopped and transmitted a message back:

"Brother, you cannot speak such nonsense. The great battle is imminent. As the commander of this operation, such words from you will directly affect the outcome of the entire battle. Do you understand?"

"Of course, I know. This matter was also told to me by someone else. I’m just giving you a heads-up. We all need to be careful. If Xuan Youzi hasn’t surrendered to the Demon Race, that’s fine. It’s better to be safe than sorry. If he has become a spy for the Demon Race, then our losses would be considerable," the Shura Emperor transmitted.
