For the Demon God Kings, invading the Martial God Realm had become too easy. On top of that, they wielded these powerful swords, each imbued with extraordinary power.
"But I heard that Ashadin, Kasa, and Tamusha have all been killed," one of the Demon God Kings suddenly said.
"Killed!?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding Demon God Kings frowned deeply. There were originally eighteen of them leading their armies of powerful demons in the conquest of the Martial God Realm, yet now, several had already fallen. This news was entirely unexpected.
"Could it be that they encountered a strong Martial God King?" one of the Demon God Kings speculated.
"Very likely," another Demon God King nodded in agreement.
"Hmph, just a mere Martial God King. As long as we stay united, no Martial God King can defeat us. Besides, their Divine Emperor is still in a deep slumber; we have nothing to fear," one of the Demon God Kings declared loudly, gulping down a mouthful of crude wine.
"Exactly! As long as we're here, no Martial God King can be our match!" The rest of the Demon Gods burst into laughter, agreeing wholeheartedly.
...
Meanwhile, Lin San was already flying towards the city. As soon as he arrived, he saw a large number of Demon Gods hovering in the sky, seemingly keeping watch for any intruders.
"A human Martial God!!"
Upon spotting Lin San and his companions, the Demon Gods immediately shouted, their voices filled with alarm. In the next instant, countless Demon Gods surged towards them.
Seeing this, Lin San sneered coldly.
With a wave of his left hand, a massive blood-red lotus-shaped flame shot out. The moment the flame surged forth, it grew in size rapidly.
The advancing Demon Gods saw the blood lotus and their eyes widened in shock.
"Not good!"
They instantly sensed the terrifying power within the fiery lotus. Instinctively, they tried to evade it, but it was too late.
The blood-red lotus moved far too fast.
Boom——
A deafening explosion rocked the air, as the sky itself seemed to burst open with the sound. In an instant, blood-red flames engulfed the entire sky.
The bodies of the Demon Gods were charred black, and they fell from the sky like burnt cinders.
[Killed Seven-Star Demon God, gained 700,000,000 evolution points]
[Killed Eight-Star Demon God, gained 800,000,000 evolution points]
...
[Absorbed Seven-Star Demon God's blood essence, gained 7,000 energy points]
[Absorbed Seven-Star Demon God's blood essence, gained 7,000 energy points]
[Absorbed Eight-Star Demon God's blood essence, gained 8,000 energy points]
...
The blood and energy of the slain Demon Gods flowed continuously into Ye Fan's sword and then into Lin San's body.
However, this energy wasn't particularly strong and didn't have much impact on Lin San at his current level. With a thought, he activated his cultivation technique, and the energy was quickly absorbed and digested.
The Martial Gods standing behind Lin San widened their eyes, shocked by what they had just witnessed.
"As expected from the one chosen by the Eastern Emperor…" the Nine-Star Martial Gods whispered in awe.
"There doesn't seem to be many powerful Demon Gods left in this city," Lin San observed as he moved towards the front, spotting the few remaining Demon Gods attempting to flee. He raised the Ye Fan sword and slashed at the sky.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh——
Powerful sword energy burst forth, and in an instant, it tore through the bodies of the fleeing Demon Gods.
Boom, boom, boom——
One after another, the Demon Gods were sliced in half by the terrifying sword energy.
"These damned creatures wiped out all the Martial Gods in the city," one of the Martial Gods noted, his face darkening as he glanced around at the desolate scene below.
The entire city had been reduced to ruins, with not a single survivor in sight.
"Summon more Martial Gods to reclaim this city," Lin San commanded coolly.
Without hesitation, he flew towards the next destination. His speed was so incredible that he seemed to disappear from the spot in an instant.
"So fast…"
The Nine-Star Martial Gods were astonished by Lin San's terrifying speed. But they quickly snapped back to reality and began gathering the remaining Martial Gods to reclaim the city.
The smaller cities had likely already fallen under the control of the Demon Gods. Because they were minor cities, the Demon God Kings that remained were weaker.
For Lin San, exterminating these Demon Gods wasn't much of a challenge.
As Lin San continued to fly forward, it wasn't long before he spotted more Demon Gods within another city, scavenging for resources.
"Heh."
Lin San smirked, and with a thought, he raised his sword.
Crackle, crackle——
Powerful currents of electricity surged from Ye Fan's sword.
[Five Thunder Strike]!
At Lin San's command, the lightning energy shot into the sky. In the next moment, the entire sky was filled with the roar of thunder and flashes of lightning.
"What's going on!?" The Demon Gods, busy plundering the city, were stunned as they heard the booming sounds from above. They instinctively looked up at the sky.
Boom, boom, boom——
Just as they raised their heads, the terrifying lightning bolts crashed down upon them.
Some of the weaker Demon Gods were obliterated on the spot, while the stronger ones were scorched black by the intense electrical energy.
"Not good!!"
"A Martial God King has arrived!" Some of the Demon Gods shouted in panic as they caught sight of Lin San hovering in the sky.
But before they could finish their cries, another bolt of lightning struck their bodies, reducing them to ashes.
