Yang Yan found the arrogant words of the ugly demon race before him quite amusing.

He smirked disdainfully and teased:

"How many juvenile novels have you read to be so self-absorbed? Clearly, you have an ugly face, and yet you want handsome people like me to become like you?"

As he spoke, Yang Yan tapped his own head, joking:

"I say, is it normal for you demons to have a screw loose?"

"Ignorant and foolish humans."

The demon monarch of the demon race clearly understood Yang Yan's words, and his already hideously distorted face became even more twisted with anger.

Roar!

He suddenly let out a roar, demonic qi surged all over his body, producing continuous crackling sounds as his body began to stretch upward.

The demon race which was similar in height to ordinary humans moments ago suddenly grew to seven or eight meters tall.

On his back and arms, white bone spikes protruded, making him appear mighty and terrifying.

Without a doubt, this was the demon race's true form, vastly different from humans.

Yang Yan did not stop its transformation; he merely held Star Night and silently observed the scene before him.

Rather than killing it, Yang Yan had a better plan in mind.

The demon race's ability to devour demonic qi was something that even he was envious of.

If he could utilize it, it would undoubtedly be a great boost in the upcoming battles.

This kind of idea might seem like a fantasy to others, but his innate abilities could make it happen.

"Humans, embrace the fear brought by the Abyss Demon Monarch!"

Having completed his transformation, the Abyss Demon Monarch ceased his idle talk, appearing before Yang Yan at an incredible speed with his enormous body.

Boom!

With a piercing sonic boom, a huge arm full of bone spikes crashed down towards Yang Yan's head.

In front of the Abyss Demon Monarch, who revealed his true form and stood seven or eight meters tall, Yang Yan appeared extremely small.

However, facing this terrifying Heaven-Breaking fist, Yang Yan was utterly fearless.

With Star Night in hand, he swept sideways, and endless brilliance flashed, colliding fiercely.

In an instant, with their collision as the center, a wave carrying a destructive aura swiftly spread out.

Rumble——

The surrounding space couldn't help but show cracks, as if it might collapse at any moment.

After the strike, Yang Yan did not stop.

Star Night spun and danced, and boundless sword aura transformed into torrents, enveloping the Abyss Demon Monarch.

Yang Yan's aura was terrifying, but the Abyss Demon Monarch was not to be outdone.

Boom!

Demonic qi surged from his body, forming an unseen bizarre creature, continuously destroying and then devouring these sword auras.

Of course, this was the result of Yang Yan not giving his all.

Otherwise, with the Abyss Demon Monarch not yet fully back to his peak strength, he would be incapable of devouring the sword aura Yang Yan unleashed.

Even though the devouring power of demonic qi is terrifying, it has its limits.

Facing opponents much stronger than himself, its exhibited power appears insignificant.

Not to mention if Yang Yan uses the Power of Laws.

If that happens, the Abyss Demon Monarch would hardly last a few rounds before Yang Yan.

While the Abyss Demon Monarch frantically blocked the sword aura, Yang Yan made no other moves.

Within his pupils, blue spots started gradually appearing, looking extremely mystical.

As the blue spots emerged, the world in Yang Yan's eyes began to change dramatically.

All visible items swiftly transformed into clusters of minute, imperceptible light points.

In the real world, scientists term these as energy, while in the Hidden World, they are called Original Force.

However, in Yang Yan's understanding, they are known as fundamental laws, or the essence of the world, the manifestation of Heavenly Dao Rules.

Heavenly Dao Rules are not invisible; instead, they exist in every corner and space of the world.

In fact, they are everywhere, merely regular people lack the eyes to discover them.

Yang Yan focused his gaze on the demonic qi the Abyss Demon Monarch released and carefully sensed the momentary change when his sword aura was devoured by the demonic qi, searching for rules.

As all the sword auras were devoured by the Abyss Demon Monarch, a peculiar feeling began to grow in his heart.

"Is this the level of the Four Emperors of your human race? Truly disappointing!"

The Abyss Demon Monarch sensed Yang Yan's strange state but didn't know what he was doing.

But after devouring those powerful sword auras, he felt his strength somewhat recovered, becoming even more arrogant.

Yang Yan did not respond to him, casually swung Star Night, pouring out endless sword aura towards the Abyss Demon Monarch.

Previously extremely arrogant, the Abyss Demon Monarch's expression instantly became very unsightly.

Although he was arrogant and wild, it didn't mean he was truly foolish.

On the contrary, this guy was cunning smart.

Otherwise, in the jungle world where the weak are preyed upon by the strong, he wouldn't have grown this far.

With Yang Yan's attacks so easily launched, he had to resist with all his might, showing the difference in their power.

Of course, the demon monarch who considers himself superior, even realizing Yang Yan is stronger, still wouldn't shrink from battle.

With a roar, he drove his internal demonic qi to the limit, madly devouring the sword aura rushing towards him.

The battle between this one man and one demon may sound simple, but in others' eyes, it's astonishing.

Especially with Yang Yan's weapon just casually swung, the sword aura that's enough to cleave mountains and break cliffs covers half the visible sky, leaving many members of the Antula Clan stunned.

Previously, they had only heard of the Four Emperors but never witnessed such terrifying power up close.

Seeing it in person now, it gives rise to a suffocating feeling.

Moreover, Yang Yan's casual demeanor further astonishes everyone.

It's as if, in his eyes, these demon races pushing the entire Antula Clan into a life or death scenario pose no threat at all.

At this moment, he is merely a cat toying with a mouse.

In the present battle scene, the only visual spectacle comparable to Yang Yan's side is Ao Tian.

In fact, in terms of imagery, the Ice Emperor Ao Tian is even more exaggerated.

With a self-created move, Ice Age, forcibly extending from the center of the Antula Clan's stronghold.

In an instant, vast mountain ranges are enveloped in ice seals.

Even if the Nine Netherworld Demon Monarch is resurrected, having his power restored to peak state, facing the mighty and matchless Ao Tian would still be tough.

Not only was he forced to reveal his true form, but he was also retreating step by step, in a sorry state.

Currently, his body was covered in scarlet wounds, with half of it encased in ice layers.

Despite the rapid healing speed of the demon race's body, it loses its effect here against Ao Tian.

Each attack Ao Tian lands leaves wounds on the Nine Netherworld Demon Monarch's body, causing numerous tiny ice shards to rapidly form, preventing quick healing.
