"You arrogant fool! This is not your Great Thousand World, where you can behave so wantonly!" A Heavenly Demon Emperor roared in fury. His power was in no way inferior to the Slaughtering Demon Emperor, but he had not participated in the previous siege against Xiao Yan and thus had no understanding of just how terrifying this man truly was. In his view, even if Xiao Yan was also a late-stage Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign, there were so many Heavenly Demon Emperors here that he would surely die. Even in a one-on-one fight, he believed he wouldn't necessarily lose.
But the moment those harsh words left his lips, Xiao Yan turned his head and gave him a calm glance.
"Since when do children interrupt when adults are talking?"
The words had barely landed when Xiao Yan's body suddenly burst into blazing flames. Before the others could even react to lend aid, the Heavenly Demon Emperor who had spoken was instantly consumed by that terrifying inferno. Within seconds, he was reduced to a pile of ashes.
The sight of Xiao Yan incinerating a peak-tier Heavenly Demon Emperor in the blink of an eye made even the pupils of the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor contract slightly. That level of power... even in his prime, he would have struggled to achieve such a result.
Although a shadow of fear had planted itself in the hearts of many, the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor quickly steadied himself. This was, after all, his domain. With so many pairs of eyes watching, he couldn't afford to show weakness.
"Xiao Yan! Don't go too far!" he bellowed.
"I'm going too far? So what if I am?" Xiao Yan casually clenched his hand and smiled. "Didn't I already say it before? Wash your necks clean and wait for me to come back. Especially you. I'm particularly interested in that flame of yours. Have you prepared to hand it over?"
"Xiao Yan, maybe we can't kill you now," the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor replied coldly, "but don't think for a second that you'll walk away from this unscathed."
Though he tried to sound threatening, his words lacked confidence. There were thirty Heavenly Demon Emperors present, backed by thousands of Demon Emperors. No matter how strong Xiao Yan was, he couldn't possibly take them all down… unless he had already reached the realm of the Immortal Emperor himself.
Xiao Yan's lips curled upward in a radiant smile. "Is that so? Then you're still underestimating me. Back when I was merely at the Spiritual-grade Heavenly Sovereign level, I already made a mess in your Extraterritorial Evil Race's territory. Now I'm a late-stage Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign, just like you. Do you really think you can stop me?"
He took a step forward and said, "You're all here? Good. Let me officially announce something—starting today, your Extraterritorial Evil Race will become history."
"Attack together!" the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor roared.
Though some hesitated—thinking it overkill to combine forces against a single enemy—they knew his personality well enough to understand that he never joked in situations like this. Immediately, torrents of mighty attacks surged toward Xiao Yan, who still sat leisurely upon the throne.
Thirty Heavenly Demon Emperors striking in unison—such a spectacle was enough to rend heaven and earth. Even the Immortal Emperor in his prime would have had to proceed with caution in such circumstances. The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor was certain that this would at least severely injure Xiao Yan, if not destroy him completely.
But just as those attacks were about to collide with their target, a strange fluctuation rippled through the space within the Ten Thousand Demon Hall. In an instant, the thirty Heaven-level attacks vanished into thin air.
Before they could comprehend what had occurred, agonized screams erupted. The massive attacks they had just launched had been redirected—slamming down upon the gathered Demon Emperors behind them instead!
Despite having strength on par with a Heavenly Sovereign, these Demon Emperors were utterly unprepared. Facing the full might of thirty Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereigns, their bodies were shredded like paper. In an instant, hundreds fell—none left standing.
Not only had their attack failed to harm Xiao Yan, it had obliterated their own forces.
The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor's eyes were wide with disbelief. How could this be happening?
Normally, space displacement was a known ability among Sovereigns. But redirecting all thirty attacks without warning, and doing so flawlessly... it was beyond impossible. They hadn't even sensed any spatial fluctuations!
'How the hell did he do that?!'
In truth, Xiao Yan hadn't used space abilities. What he'd deployed was time control—specifically, the power of the Time Ancestral Symbol.
Now that Xiao Yan had advanced further in cultivation, the might of the Time Ancestral Symbol had grown exponentially. It could even influence Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereigns. The moment the attacks were released, Xiao Yan had used the Ancestral Symbol to momentarily freeze time around him. While the world stood still, he opened the Heavenly Tomb, stored away the thirty attacks, and then reopened the tomb to unleash the attacks above the gathered Demon Emperors.
The illusion of teleportation had been created through temporal manipulation. Had it not been for his mastery over the Time Ancestral Symbol, it would have been impossible.
"Alright," Xiao Yan said, slowly standing from the throne. "Now that the small fry are cleared, it's your turn."
As he clapped his hands together, space split open.
From within the rift, wave after wave of figures emerged.
At the forefront was Qin Tian, the Demon Execution King of the Great Thousand Palace. Behind him came the Azure-Robed Sword Saint and the Undying Lord. Soon after, the Great Elders and Clan Chiefs of the ancient clans arrived, accompanied by the Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereigns of the Divine Beast Clans.
Though their individual strength might not surpass the Extraterritorial Evil Race, they held the advantage in numbers.
This time, the Great Thousand World had truly gone all-in.
They were here to end the Extraterritorial Evil Race once and for all.
With thirty Heavenly Demon Emperors remaining, the Ten Thousand Demon Hall still held formidable power—but even that paled compared to this combined force. And with Xiao Yan present, the conclusion of this war was already set in stone.
