Cut off my way home? You'll sacrifice the entire other world in return!

"Demon Lord, spare me! Demon Lord, spare me!"

"We surrender! We offer everything!"

As for the Beast Lord.

He's gone mad.

He stared at the cloud of blood mist, making strange hoarse noises, then his eyes rolled back and he died of fright.

A powerful expert at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage was actually scared to death.

This is the first lesson Li Fan taught the world.

Those who obey me will prosper.

Those who oppose me will perish.

As the demon descended upon the peak, Li Fan withdrew his hand.

The black hand that blotted out the sky also vanished.

He looked at the black and red orb of light that had appeared in his hand.

That was the essence of the blood and souls of tens of thousands of creatures from the Beast Taming Manor.

"The quality is alright."

Li Fan opened his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.

"It's better than nothing, I suppose."

He turned around and looked at Ye Qingcheng kneeling in the main hall.

"Did you see that?"

"This is what happens when you disobey."

Ye Qingcheng trembled and lowered her head even further.

"Master's divine power is unparalleled, this servant...this servant admires you."

Her voice trembled slightly.

Although it has already been corrupted and subjugated by the demons.

But witnessing a top-tier sect being crushed like an insect is still too visually impactful.

"Alright, stop flattering me."

Li Fan waved his hand.

"Go and get ready."

"The first batch of materials should arrive soon."

"I'm going to start refining weapons."

"Yes."

Ye Qingcheng respectfully withdrew.

Li Fan sat back on the throne.

He closed his eyes and felt the Tai Chi wheel inside his body moving.

As he absorbed more and more energy, his control over the laws of this world deepened.

"Soon."

Li Fan muttered to himself.

"Once I've mastered that technique..."

"Even if the God himself came, I'd still break a few of his teeth."

…………

The news of the destruction of Beast Taming Manor spread throughout the entire Xuanhuang World in just half a day.

This time, no one dared to doubt the weight of the Demon Lord's Decree.

No one dared to harbor any illusions.

The so-called demon-slaying alliance crumbled instantly like a joke in the face of absolute terror.

The major sects opened their treasure vaults overnight and brought out all the wealth they had accumulated over thousands of years.

Spiritual stones, immortal herbs, magical treasures, secret manuals...

Everything that could be taken was put into a storage bag.

Some sects even took out the eggs of their guardian beasts just to make up the numbers.

Besides the treasure, there were also people.

Those holy sons and daughters, the true disciples, who are usually pampered and cherished.

At this moment, they have all become tributes.

They were personally escorted by their sect elders, their faces ashen.

No one dared to resist.

Because the result of resistance is the extermination of the entire family.

Rather than the entire clan being wiped out, it's better to sacrifice a few people to preserve the overall situation.

Better to die for your fellow Daoist than for me.

A strange sight appeared on the road leading to Demon Peak.

Countless flying boats and treasure ships lined up in long queues and converged from all directions.

That scene was even more spectacular than the Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Immortals.

only.

This time, they've come not to discuss philosophy, but to offer tribute.

At the foot of Demon Peak.

The original ruins have been cleared away and a square has been built in their place.

The square was piled high with treasures.

On one side of the square.

Thousands of young monks stood there.

Each of them possessed an extraordinary temperament and profound cultivation, making them the pride of their respective sects.

But now they all have their heads down and look terrified.

Ye Qingcheng stood on the high platform, coldly watching all of this.

She was holding a roster and taking inventory.

"One hundred million top-grade spirit stones, five thousand thousand thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, three immortal artifact cauldrons... and one Holy Son, Dan Chenzi."

"Ten thousand top-grade talismans from the Divine Talisman Sect, ten talisman pens... and one Holy Maiden, Fu Ling'er."

"Tianyin Pavilion..."

As each name was read out, the representatives of those sects looked pained but had no choice but to force a smile.

"very good."

Ye Qingcheng closed the register.

"The master is very satisfied."

"You can get out now."

The sect elders were overjoyed and fled in a panic, fearing that if they were even a moment too late, the Demon Lord would take notice of them and make them his snack.

Only a few thousand prodigies remained, standing alone in the square, facing their unknown fate.

"Come with me."

"The master wants to see you."

Ye Qingcheng turned and walked towards the top of the mountain.

The prodigies dared not disobey and could only follow behind Ye Qingcheng.

They arrived at the Demon God's Palace.

The gate was already open.

An oppressive force that was suffocating surged from within.

They saw the man sitting on the throne.

Dressed in black with black hair, his eyes were indifferent.

"This is... the Demon Lord?"

Dan Chenzi, the holy son of the Dan Ding Sect, secretly looked up and glanced at it. In just one glance, he felt a stinging pain in his eyes.

What a terrifying atmosphere!

Just sitting there makes you feel like you're facing the entire sky.

"Have they all arrived?"

Li Fan's voice rang out.

He glanced at the crowd below.

"Yes, her aptitude is indeed quite good."

"A bit better than those trashy guys below."

He stood up and stepped down from the throne.

He walked into the middle of the crowd.

They were scrutinizing these so-called prodigies as if they were selecting livestock.

"you."

Li Fan pointed at Dan Chenzi.

"A fire elemental root with 90% purity is a good material for alchemy."

He then pointed at Fu Ling'er.

"His innate spiritual eyes indicate good mental strength."

"And you..."

He pointed to a muscular, strong man.

"The bones are quite hard; they can be used as a support."

Each time someone was called out, their face grew paler.

What exactly does this Demon Lord want to do?

Are we going to tear them down?

"Owner."

Ye Qingcheng asked respectfully.

"What should we do with these people?"

"Should we directly infect it with magic, or...?"

"Magic dye?"

Li Fan shook his head.

"That's such a waste."

"These are the most precious parts of the world."

"It would be such a waste if they just became ordinary demon slaves."

A fervent glint flashed in his eyes.

"I need to use them."

"To create a work of art."

"A... truly perfect weapon that belongs to me."

Li Fan opened his arms.

The Tai Chi wheel behind him suddenly accelerated its rotation.

The black and white energies surged forth, instantly enveloping these thousands of prodigies.

"Use heaven and earth as a furnace."

"Use all living beings as copper."

"Use nature as your craftsman."

"Use all paths as fire."

Li Fan's voice resounded throughout the hall.

"Refine!!!"

boom!!!

An illusory cauldron appeared out of thin air in the center of the hall.

That was a furnace formed from the power of laws.

Thousands of prodigies were sucked into the cauldron by an irresistible force before they even had time to scream.

Their bodies began to melt.

Their spiritual roots, bloodlines, and souls were forcibly stripped away and then re-integrated at this moment.

Perhaps this is an experiment that goes against ethics, natural law, and even human nature.

But in Li Fan's eyes...

This is merely a necessary sacrifice for that ultimate goal.

"Not enough."

Li Fan frowned slightly as he looked at the churning energy in the cauldron.

"These people alone cannot refine what I need."

"We need more advanced materials."

He looked up and gazed outside the main hall.

Look towards that distant horizon.

There.

Several beams of light are piercing through the clouds and descending upon this world.

That was the Supreme God's Reincarnation Squad.

Kunlun team.

"It's finally here."

A cruel smile curled at the corner of Li Fan's mouth.

"The best materials."

"It's been delivered to your door."
