These monks hesitated for a moment when they sensed the Evil Aura contained in the Demon contract.

"As long as you sign this contract, your lives will be under my control. I'll give you ten breaths to consider."

Bai Yan did not conceal the overbearing nature of the Demon contract and stated it outright.

"Whoever dares not to sign, dies!"

With a fierce shout from Li Qingxuan, the monks present shivered in unison with fear.

In the face of such supreme power, these monks had no intention to resist and quickly signed the Demon contract before them.

"Shoo, shoo, shoo..."

All the Demon contracts vanished into Bai Yan's brow.

In total, there were 19,000 monks; among them were four Saints, ten Quasi-Saints, and the rest were disciples with varied and inferior cultivation.

"From now on, these demons will be cultivated by you."

Bai Yan casually selected a group of low-level demons and handed them over for cultivation.

The highest level in the Demon Army was merely minor Divine Power, and the weakest among these disciples was equivalent to that of inferior Divine Power.

Even after merging with the demons, these monks could not gain any enhancement from the Demon Power; the gap between their strengths was simply too vast.

"Here."

All the monks responded in unison and then each chose a demon to augment themselves.

"Boom~"

"Boom~"

...

Following that, the entire plaza was filled with the sounds of levelling up, as 19,000 demons upgraded simultaneously, the sound as booming as a mountain torrent.

"What is this!"

Bai Yan was initially puzzled, but then his face lit up with surprise.

The low-level demons that were augmented unexpectedly benefited from the monks' feedback, with most demons directly upgrading to level six, and those that were augmented by the Saints and Quasi-Saints had even reached level seven!

Previously, as the strength of the Demon Island Warriors was always weaker than that of the demons, Bai Yan had not realized the complementary nature between the host and the demon.

"It's over, my Divine Power is gone!" A Legendary Realm monk discovered abnormalities in his body and was instantly terrified.

"My Rule Power has diminished!"

Following the reminder from that monk, the other monks also noticed abnormalities. Not only did the Saints and Quasi-Saints lose Divine Power, but they even lost a portion of the Rule Power they had comprehended.

All the monks turned their gaze to Bai Yan; even the lowest realm Legendary monk's Divine Power was vast. It would take at least half a month to fully recover.

As for the Saintly powerhouses, it would take even months to recuperate the lost Rule Power.

Originally, he had planned to use these monks as bases to continuously cultivate high-level demons, but now it seemed a bit challenging.

If he wanted to mass-produce high-level demons, he must first address the issue of these monks' Divine Power recovery.

"It's okay, just recover, and there will be no harm to you."

Bai Yan reassured the monks.

Upon receiving Bai Yan's response, the monks on the plaza finally relaxed.

"Rumble~"

Just then, the planet where Bai Yan was located suddenly became cloud-covered, followed by a thunderous, deafening sound: "In ten days, the Heavenly Pride List monks will gather at the Elf Clan, Brother Bai is welcome to join."

"Monks from the Heavenly Pride List invited me to attend a gathering?"

Bai Yan first muttered to himself, then sneered.

This gathering was clearly a trap. Those Heavenly Pride inviting him were just a pretense; their real intention was to challenge him to a duel.

Bai Yan had consecutively killed two monks from the Heavenly Pride List, and the remaining ones were all too proud to swallow this affront.

"Senior Bai, should I go and warn those restless fellows?"

Upon seeing Bai Yan's gloomy expression, Li Qingxuan quickly spoke up.

Ever since Bai Yan arrived at the Divine Sword Sect, he had altogether killed three Heavenly Prides.

Even the Divine Sword Sect faced immense pressure when questioned by the families of those three Heavenly Prides.

If those Heavenly Prides are reckless and Bai Yan kills a few more, then the Divine Sword Sect might not be able to bear the wrath of their families!

"No need, dealing with these people requires settling them in one go, lest we have more troubles later."

Bai Yan said casually, his face carrying a coldness, these Heavenly Prides not worthy enough for him to take seriously.

"Sigh."

Li Qingxuan, looking at Bai Yan's demeanor, couldn't help but sigh.

He thought to himself that even supreme beings were no match for Bai Yan, those Heavenly Prides were probably going to suffer this time.

...

Outskirts of the Endless Star Sea, in the barbaric region.

This was the outermost area of the Endless Star Sea, devoid of any Spiritual Energy, a place so barren that even the lowest interstellar pirates wouldn't venture here.

On a planet covered with ice, over a hundred monks clad in uniform black robes gathered.

"Sect Master, the Outer Realm Practitioners have sent orders to hunt down a monk surnamed Bai, who is a disciple of the Divine Sword Sect and said to have connections with that terrifying entity from ten thousand years ago."

A monk in the Quasi-Saint Realm wildly swung his sword, cutting out a mirror-like block of ice from the ground.

On the ice block, Bai Yan's image was displayed.

"Divine Sword Sect has Li Qingxuan in place; if we forcefully kill [Bai Yan], it could easily be discovered by the Human World, which is problematic."

The monk addressed as Sect Master asked in a cold voice.

"Return to the Sect Master, it is said that he recently killed two members of the Heavenly Pride List. The other members have already set a trap for him with the Elf Clan. We could seize this opportunity to eliminate him."

That subordinate replied.

"The monks from the Heavenly Pride List are resolving feuds with him in the Elf Clan; this indeed is a good opportunity. Deploy the second group and take this chance to also eliminate those Heavenly Pride List monks!"

The robed Sect Master said, his voice spreading among the present monks, colder than the ice beneath their feet.

These men were remnants secretly supported in the Endless Star Sea by the Outer Realm Practitioners, their existence meant to kill all talented monks in the Endless Star Sea, severing its legacies.

"Yes!"

The subordinate responded deferentially, then led a team composed of Saints and Quasi-Saints away from this frozen planet.

...

Elf Clan, in a small town tavern within Star Domain No. 107.

This was the Elf Clan's Star Domain, and the only place where other clans could interact here.

Ever since thousands of years ago when the Human Emperor Su Yu singlehandedly killed the Talents of Ten Thousand Clans here, this Star Domain became famous throughout the Endless Star Sea.

Initially, the strongest being in this small Star Domain was merely a legendary monk, but now even the silhouettes of Saints frequently appeared here.

These people came in search of the Emperor's legacy and incidentally wanted to witness the tavern where Emperor Su Yu once vanquished the Talents with a single sword slash.
