Ordinary demon bodies were not as valuable as those of Divine Emperor stage demons because most of these high-level demons had special energy within their hearts that could be used to create Purple Heavenly Demon Divine pills. Although the success rate would be low, with such a large number of demons, achieving a thirty percent success rate would be feasible. Additionally, their blood could be effectively used to draw high-level spelled talismans.

"So rude! You little bastard!"

"Are you going to use us to make medicine? Over my dead body…"

Wooooosh!!!

Before the demon could finish speaking, a rapid wave of sword energy shot through his throat.

Slash!!!

Augh!!!

Thud!!!

"Talking so much is really annoying. Better to hurry up and finish this fight!"

Zheng-Fu continuously and swiftly executed the four mystical sword stances he had created before arriving here. He had given all of these skills to Dong-Kuang to keep at the Skill Hall for the prime disciples to practice.

But this was the first time Zheng-Fu had used them in actual combat. The first reason was to test the integrity and practical power of these skills. The second was to identify any flaws so he could correct them immediately.

Boooom!!!

Boooom!!!

Aaaah!!!

Each stance unleashed by Zheng-Fu's enormous energy caused the surrounding area of the secret headquarters base to split open, and the vibrations shook the ground. Over twenty demons were instantly killed.

"What kind of crazy skills are these?"

"Their power is so immense. Even my mystical attack skill can't withstand it!"

"This martial master's strength is on par with the Great commander's or even the Demon Emperor's!"

"Who is he? Why haven't we heard of him before?"

"It doesn't matter anymore! Hurry up and activate the dimensional gate!"

The remaining demons, witnessing the massacre, all wore serious expressions. Zheng-Fu's sudden appearance had already resulted in over thirty of them being killed, with more injured, leaving only half their forces still able to fight. They hurriedly decided to open the dimensional gate.

"It won't be that easy!"

[Ten-Direction-Conquering Monster Sword Stance Skill]

Wooooosh!!!

Zheng-Fu wasn't about to let them activate the dimensional gate. He once again used the four sword stances, which he had now refined to be smoother and more powerful. He had already corrected the flaws he found earlier.

Boooom!!!

Boooom!!!

Aaaah!!!

The current situation shouldn't be called a battle—it should be called a one-sided massacre. Zheng-Fu alone was slaughtering these Divine Emperor-level demons as if they were tiny insects that could be crushed with a single squeeze. Even though he could easily kill them, it didn't mean he could eliminate them all at once.

Thus, there were still surviving demons, and those that remained were all at the eighth and ninth levels of the Divine Emperor stage. These remaining demons were also crucial in activating the dimensional gate, and the process was already in its final stage...

"Hurry up! Hold him off! Just a little more, and the dimensional gate will be ready!" commanded one of the top-level demons, urging the others to block Zheng-Fu.

"All right!!!"

Swish!!!

Three large demons who specialized in defense rushed to intercept Zheng-Fu, simultaneously using their most powerful defensive skills.

[Heaven-Blocking Demon Wall Skill]

[Heaven-Blocking Demon Wall Skill]

[Heaven-Blocking Demon Wall Skill]

The three demons employed identical defensive techniques. Their Heaven-Blocking Demon Wall Skills were formidable enough that even three advanced Divine Emperor stage martial masters working together would struggle to break them quickly.

"Huh! With our defense skills, no matter how strong you are, you won't break through in a short time. Even the great commander at the Divine King stage would need three stances to shatter this wall. So, we'll have time to activate the dimensional gate!"

One of the large demons confidently boasted about their defense. The other two wore equally confident expressions. They knew that although Zheng-Fu might break their barrier, he wouldn't be able to do so in just one strike.

Ha ha ha!!!

"Three stances? Your great commander needs three stances to break this wall? Haha! He's really weak!" Zheng-Fu sneered disdainfully at the great commander, whom these demons revered.

"You… you're insulting the great commander?"

"Our great commander could easily crush an ant like you! How dare you insult him! I'll tear you into pieces!"

"Huh! You're all talk. If you're really so confident, break our wall with one strike!"

The three and the other demons were filled with rage after hearing Zheng-Fu insult their honored commander. Some were eager to rush through the defensive wall, but the upper-level demons held them back, prioritizing the activation of the dimensional gate.

"Huh! Talk is cheap. Zheng-Fu didn't know what to say to these demons, but even if he did, it would be pointless. Speaking wouldn't change their minds or the reality of what was about to happen. So, Zheng-Fu decided to end this battle with his ultimate skill...

[The Buddhist Saint Skill: All-Direction-Crushing Golden Sword Stance]

Groan!!!

Tremors immediately shook the area as Zheng-Fu used his skill. The All-Direction-Crushing Golden Sword Stance was a Legendary-Level skill far more powerful than the previous four. As he began, a massive amount of pressure spread throughout the secret base, penetrating even the Heaven-Blocking Demon Wall.

"Why is the pressure so intense?"

"This skill is stronger and more terrifying than anything before!"

"Oh no! If this continues, even we won't survive!"

"Hurry up! Hurry!"

The top-level demons activating the dimensional gate were visibly panicking. They could sense death approaching as the pressure of Zheng-Fu's skill continued to rise. Therefore, they hastened to activate the dimensional gate even more urgently than before.

"Huh! It's too late. And even if you manage to open the dimensional gate, no one on the other side will save you. Now, just die!"

Wooooosh!!!

A large golden Qi energy sword materialized mid-air before lunging at the massive black Heaven-Blocking Demon Wall at jet speed.

Grooooooaaaan!!!

Booooooom!!!

Crack!!! Crack!!! Clang!!!

As soon as the golden Qi sword struck, the Heaven-Blocking Demon Wall began to crack and eventually shattered into pieces. The three demons who had used the skill burst into droplets of blood, their bodies completely disintegrated.

"Oh no!"

"How could this happen?!"

"Great commander! Demon Emperor!"

Boooom!!!

Aaaaah!!!

Not only did the three demons use defensive skills, but all the other remaining demons behind the Heaven-Blocking Demon Wall were also killed. However, unlike the three large demons who had just turned into blood mist, these demons did not suffer the same fate because Zheng-Fu believed their bodies were still valuable. So, he reduced his power just enough to kill them.

But because he reduced his power, one demon survived, though barely hanging on to life. This demon was the strongest among all the demons present. It survived by using all the magical items it possessed to withstand Zheng-Fu's power. It only needed to survive for a split second, just long enough to activate the final character and keep the dimensional gate operational. And it managed to succeed.

Ha ha ha!!!

"Even if we die, we did not die in vain. Now… Augh! The dimensional gate is finally open. It's time for the Demon Tribe to rise above all monsters and humans! Augh… Argh!!!" the demon declared before coughing up blood and dying with a twisted grin.

Wooooooosh!!!

A flash of light appeared among the corpses of the demons who had activated the gate. The light signaled that the dimensional gate had been successfully opened. Slowly, a figure emerged.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Huh?

The figure that stepped out of the gate was stunned by the sight before him—corpses of the demons everywhere. His eyes turned to Zheng-Fu, who stood gasping for breath just ten steps away.

"Did you do this? Was this all your doing?" the figure asked in a calm but menacing tone, exuding a terrifying aura. He was the great commander of the Demon Tribe, at the initial Divine King stage.

From the moment the great commander appeared, Zheng-Fu had recognized him as a formidable martial master at the Divine King stage. But before Zheng-Fu could respond, several other figures materialized behind the great commander, each radiating an aura of death and killing intent. One of them, in particular, seemed the most powerful and terrifying.

'The situation is critical. One of these newcomers must be the Demon Emperor, judging by this overwhelming pressure and energy. I can't handle them alone. If my father-in-law… Huh?'

As Zheng-Fu pondered his strategy, he suddenly sensed a familiar energy wave approaching from behind him. It stopped beside him, and the new arrival spoke up.

"That's right, this is my son-in-law's doing!"
