While everyone else was busy fighting over killing the Demon Kingdom's Watcher, Zhang Yi took the opportunity to lead his people straight towards the ancient city.

By now, the powerful experts from the ancient city had basically all come out.

Judging by the current state of the battle, it was impossible for them to have anyone left who could sit idly by, so the city was already empty.

Zhang Yi's choice to do this wasn't without reason.

Because right after landing, the Totoro, which had been munching on rice balls inside the spatial dimension, suddenly became agitated, gesturing excitedly to Yang Xinxin and the others.

Zhang Yi immediately understood that there must be something similar to the Divine Source inside the ancient city.

He directly performed a spatial displacement, silent and unnoticed. Gao Changkong and Lancelot's attention was all on fighting over the Watcher's origin energy, how could they realize he was already gone?

Soon, Zhang Yi brought his people to the sky above the Demon Kingdom's ancient city.

Before them, the towering Nine-Story Demon Tower stood blood-soaked, piercing the clouds.

It was piled high with the corpses of humans and sacrificial victims, even freshly dug-out, blood-drenched internal organs.

It couldn't help but make one think that perhaps the sacrificial traditions of the Snowy Plateau Region were passed down from the era of their rule.

It's just that compared to the esoteric sect, their sacrificial rituals were even more bloody.

The ground beneath the Nine-Story Demon Tower was filled with kneeling people, chanting incantations, offering prayers to the tower.

Some even pulled out knives on the spot to self-mutilate, others kowtowed with such force their heads split open and bled.

Some people near the edge of the Nine-Story Demon Tower wore uniform clothing, their bodies covered in black tattoos, conducting a blood-soaked sacrificial ceremony.

On a stone platform thoroughly soaked in blood lay a pregnant woman who had just had her eyes gouged out and heart cut open while still alive. The fetus in her womb was not yet full-term, still connected by the umbilical cord when it was pulled out and thrown into a stone mortar.

They knew the enemy had arrived, so they were performing this bloody sacrifice here, seemingly seeking power from the demon race they worshiped.

After just one glance, the ripple in Zhang Yi's eyes quickly vanished.

In a daze, he finally understood why the esoteric sect was so fixated on the Demon Kingdom, why even after sealing the passage between the two worlds for thousands of years, they still remembered it, determined to eradicate it completely. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Kill them all," he said lightly.

The demonic people kneeling below, praying for the demon god's protection, were in the midst of their prayers when suddenly, they felt the sky above them darken.

"Did our prayers work? The Demon God has appeared to save us!" some demonic people shouted joyfully.

They looked up, and the scene before their eyes left them speechless with excitement.

The sky above the Nine-Story Demon Tower, within a radius of ten miles, had completely darkened.

It was as if an utterly pitch-black black hole, capable of devouring everything, had suddenly unfurled in the sky, exuding an aura of destruction, slowly swirling and expanding its range.

Zhang Yi stood in mid-air. Hearing some of the demonic people's words, a gentle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Fools, demons never save others."

"They only kill!"

As his words fell, the massive Void Black Hole had already fully condensed behind him, completely enveloping the space within a ten-mile radius.

Zhang Yi's right hand slowly extended, then fiercely pressed down.

"Stars Fall!"

In the next moment, torrential Void Power surged out from the black hole, pouring down like a torrential rain!

Wherever the black Void Power passed, everything was directly devoured, completely emptied.

Buildings, the earth, people.

There was no deafening roar, just like using an eraser to wipe away the very existence of these things.

The demonic people on the ground hadn't even regained their senses before most were already slaughtered clean.

After they realized what was happening, they screamed in terror.

Some tried to flee, but the entire ten-mile radius was already covered, making escape impossible.

Other demonic superhumans roared angrily, wanting to fight back, but to Zhang Yi, they were no different from ordinary people, just creatures he could casually erase.

This commotion finally alerted everyone still fighting by the Sea of Blood.

The Watcher was already severely injured, now fighting desperately one against two, battling Gao Changkong and Lancelot.

Fighting with his life on the line did make him somewhat dangerous, but even at his peak, his strength was inferior to these two, let alone now?

Although he hadn't been killed in the short term, death was only a matter of time.

He looked at the massive black hole over the ancient city, his eyes filled with terror and fury.

"Ah!!!!"

He let out a painful wail.

However, anger couldn't make him stronger. In the face of absolute power, all struggle was futile.

On the contrary, Gao Changkong and Lancelot's minds suddenly changed.

"What a Zhang Yi, truly worthy of being that sneaky bastard!" Gao Changkong seemed to recall their past encounters and couldn't help but smile wryly.

He also knew that the so-called treasure of the Demon Kingdom was most likely inside that Nine-Story Demon Pagoda.

He took a deep breath, the Solar Wheel Sword in his hand erupting with even more turbulent golden light, enveloping him like a god of war.

"Let's finish this quickly!" he said to Lancelot not far away.

Lancelot had originally wanted to conserve his strength, to potentially contend with Gao Changkong and other potential opponents if necessary.

But now someone had run off to steal the crystal, something he couldn't tolerate.

"Alright, kill him quickly!"

The knight's longsword, Kangge'er, in his right hand blazed with towering black flames. He and Gao Changkong charged at the Watcher from left and right.

On the other side, the Lord of the Charnel Ground faced the Demon Kingdom's Grand Priest.

Feeling the commotion over there, an uncontrollable tremor appeared in the Grand Priest's eyes.

But right now, he simply couldn't break away.

The esoteric sect follower before him was too powerful, stronger than him who had received the demon god's power.

He could only continuously maneuver, looking for an opportunity to attack.

But the enemy was too strong!

Four Epsilon-level superhumans, and each one seemed to possess strength not inferior to his, the Grand Priest of the Demon Kingdom.

This feeling was one of deep despair!

The Lord of the Charnel Ground extended his right palm towards him. "Today, let me settle this thousand-year grudge!"

The Grand Priest's power was around 16,000 points, a huge gap compared to the Lord of the Charnel Ground.

At first, the Lord of the Charnel Ground wasn't familiar with his fighting style, so they tangled for a while.

But now that he understood the Grand Priest's strength, he didn't plan to waste any more time.

Actually, it was also because of the commotion Zhang Yi was causing over there, making him somewhat anxious too.

As for Zhang Yi, with one move, Stars Fall, he directly erased over ten thousand people conducting the bloody sacrifice around the Nine-Story Demon Tower.

He glanced at that towering Nine-Story Demon Pagoda. By now, the pagoda was also riddled with holes from his attack.

"I seem to sense a familiar aura too!" A glint of light appeared in Zhang Yi's eyes. He set down Liang Yue and the others.

"You clear the surrounding battlefield. I'm going inside to take a look!"

As soon as the words fell, he raced against time, traversing towards the Nine-Story Demon Tower.
