The fifteen powerful demon clan warriors transmitted from the Ancestral Demon Realm emanated a terrifying aura, their bodies all equally encased in a thick layer of black scale armor.

However, unlike the previous demons, their scale armor bore streaks of crimson patterns, faintly flickering with firelight.

At the same time, on the tips of their demon horns that pierced the heavens, two clusters of blood-colored flames burned fiercely, radiating an eerie blood-red glow.

In addition, these demon clan experts all wore heavy blood-colored armor, the crimson brilliance constantly gleaming across their breastplates, each suit identical in design.

All these signs proved that these demon clan warriors must hail from the same power.

The fifteen demons stood together, the dense, almost vaporous murderous blood aura around them continually drifting, eventually merging into a massive shroud that enveloped them all.

At this moment, these demon clan experts cast their gazes entirely upon Jiang Che and his two companions, for the powerful auras radiating from the three remained wholly unconcealed.

"Powerhouses of the Profound Yellow Realm? Are the three of you here to stop us?"

The leading late Tier Eight demon's crimson eyes glimmered with a faint firelight as he fixed his gaze upon Jiang Che, whose aura was strongest among the three, speaking in a slow, steady tone.

Though he looked down upon these so-called Profound Yellow Realm experts,

this was, after all, the first time in millennia that their Red Flame Demon Race had set foot in the Profound Yellow Realm, so caution was warranted in all things.

"This is the Profound Yellow Realm. Foreigners are forbidden to enter. Leave at once!"

Jiang Che gazed calmly at the demon clan, his voice icy cold.

He would never allow these demons to step into the Profound Yellow Realm—not that he truly feared for its safety under demonic threat,

but because the spatial channel was located right here at Tiger King Ridge; if he let these demons from the Ancestral Demon Realm pass through, Tiger King Ridge would be the first to suffer.

Of course, this wasn't because Jiang Che feared them; he simply found it troublesome—he didn't wish to make daily trips to Demon Valley just to clean up demons.

"What a colossal joke! Never before has anyone dared scold my Red Flame Demon Race so, much less commanded us to retreat!

This Profound Yellow Realm is nothing more than our Ancestral Demon Realm's hunting ground. As mere prey, what right do you have to speak to us, the noble demon race, here?"

The leading Red Flame Tribe elder's face turned grim at these words, striding forward a few steps. The tempestuous, late Tier Eight aura about him surged towards Jiang Che, like an ocean wave crashing down in all directions.

Simultaneously, the demons behind him all began jeering, their words filled with utter contempt toward Jiang Che and his companions.

"A mere native of the Profound Yellow Realm, yet you dare defy a Red Flame Tribe elder—this is a grave offense! We must seize this fellow and bring him back to suffer the cruelest torments of the Ancestral Demon Realm!"

One early Tier Eight Red Flame Tribe elder stared at Jiang Che with a cold, murderous glare.

With those words, every demon present now looked upon Jiang Che and his friends with murderous intent in their eyes.

"Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit—so, you seek death!"

The leading demon elder's oppressive aura felt to Jiang Che like nothing more than a gentle itch.

Facing the demons below, Jiang Che's tone turned frigid, brimming with murderous will.

These demon clan members were all arrogant and overbearing, beyond reasoning. Perhaps only slaughter could hammer reality into their minds.

After all, in the Ancestral Demon Realm, the law was survival of the fittest—strength made right.

These demon experts had arrived in the Profound Yellow Realm presuming themselves the apex—but sadly, they were now the weak…

"Native of the Profound Yellow Realm, your insolence goes too far—die!"

The leading Red Flame Tribe elder roared in fury upon hearing Jiang Che's words, murderous aura soaring, and struck at Jiang Che in an instant.

In that moment, the blood flames on the tips of his demon horns blazed suddenly, rapidly spreading downward to engulf his head, torso, and limbs alike in waves of crimson fire.

Boom!

In the next instant, his body began to swell visibly, swelling up to a towering height of nine zhang before halting.

He stood upon the earth like a giant wreathed in bloodflame, his fiery radiance illuminating all directions, exuding an immeasurable sense of danger.

"Roar!"

Rumble—

The Red Flame Tribe elder let out a furious roar, his massive form as light as goose down as he sped through the air, each step leaving a footprint across the sky. His speed rivaled lightning. A bloodflame-wreathed, sky-covering hand crashed down upon Jiang Che and the others.

"Kill!"

Immediately after, the other fourteen demon clan experts let out furious shouts as well, bloodflames surging over their forms as they transformed into fire giants and soared skyward in unison.

"Hmph! Daring to act with impudence in my Demon Valley—die, all of you!"

Fang Yuan eyed the surging Blood Qi of the Red Flame Demon Race, greed flashing in his eyes, unable to conceal his ravenous desire.

With a cold snort, he prepared to unleash the Yama World-Destroying Wheel, pushed to its limit, upon the gathering of Red Flame demon experts.

But Jiang Che acted first. His gaze turned frosty, and within his body, Tier Nine Spiritual Power roared, the Law of Thunder flickering in the air as he unleashed his overwhelming might.

Boom!

With a single palm downward, the sky resounded with a deafening blast as a lush violet thunderlight bathed the entire Demon Valley in brightness.

A colossal Thunder Palm Seal came sweeping down.

At the instant it appeared, not only did the entire Demon Valley quake, but even the great formation above and the very space within the valley trembled uncontrollably.

In that moment, the might of the Tier Nine Imperial Realm was revealed in full.

"Damnit, that's a Demon Emperor Level expert!"

The instant they glimpsed the Thunder Palm Seal, each Red Flame demon surging forward froze in terror, their crimson eyes filled with dread.

At first, they had assumed Jiang Che and his companions were at most Tier Eight experts, never even conceiving the possibility of Jiang Che being Tier Nine Imperial Realm.

Know this: even in the Ancestral Demon Realm, Demon Emperor Level existences were extremely rare and seldom appeared.

Though the Red Flame Demon Race was one of the seven top clans of the Ancestral Demon Realm, commanding vast territory, even now they could not boast of a true Demon Emperor presiding over them.

"Run!" someone cried out in horror.

Alas, faced with the overwhelming strike from Jiang Che, the Red Flame demon clan seemed mired in a swamp, unable to move no matter how much they struggled.

Boom!

In the next instant, the Thunder Palm Seal crushed down; amidst shrill screams, wave after wave of Red Flame demon clan experts were shattered and torn apart.

In the distance, Fang Yuan's eyes lit up with delight and excitement.

So much blood and flesh—this Demon Monarch is about to take off!
