Chapter 540: The Slaughter Begins

Li Yang gazed at the desolate region before him.

A year ago, this was where Mixed Void had been discovered.

Of course, Li Yang didn’t know Mixed Void’s current whereabouts. But one thing was certain: there were a lot of Alien Race members here.

Li Yang had come here mainly to temper himself. As for going all out to find Mixed Void and help him escape the Alien Race’s siege, he had no such plans for now. If he happened to run into Mixed Void, he would certainly choose to help.

If he didn’t, there was nothing he could do.

‘Since I’m here, I might as well start the slaughter!’ A glint flashed in Li Yang’s eyes.

Killing members of the Alien Race was, after all, one of the main objectives for everyone on the Slaughter Battlefield.

‘I’ll use the slaughter here as my starting point and begin my path to fame on the Slaughter Battlefield!’

Thinking of the battles to come with the other Alien Races, Li Yang felt not a trace of fear—only anticipation.

SWOOSH!

Li Yang looked in a certain direction and flew off rapidly.

After flying for a while, Li Yang suddenly glanced toward a particular spot.

‘Found some aliens?’

…

In the void, two enormous beasts of the Demon Race were flying.

“That human, Mixed Void, is great at hiding. We’ve been looking for a year and still haven’t caught him.”

“He’s a monstrous genius of the Human Race. He must have a ton of life-saving treasures on him. It’s normal that we can’t catch him.”

“Hmph! To have the power to easily defeat Tri-System Deities after just a hundred years of cultivation… this human, Mixed Void, absolutely cannot be allowed to live!”

“Exactly. If we let Mixed Void continue to grow, the Human Race will definitely gain another powerful Emperor!”

The two members of the Demon Race conversed.

Throughout the endless ages, anyone who reached the combat power of a Tri-System Deity within a hundred years, as long as they were allowed to mature, became an exceptionally powerful existence!

The conflict between the Human Race and the Demon Race was fierce. The Demon Race always did everything in their power to strangle human geniuses in the cradle, preventing them from ever growing strong!

“Keep searching! It’s not just our Demon Race in the surrounding area; there are experts from other races too!”

“Right, and more experts are constantly rushing over!”

“Spatial teleportation is impossible on the Slaughter Battlefield. The human Mixed Void can’t possibly escape our encirclement. As long as we search slowly, we’ll definitely find him!”

“Back then, the Human Race’s monstrous genius, Lei Yu, was surrounded on the Slaughter Battlefield for five years before he was finally killed!”

“The human Mixed Void won’t escape!”

The two beasts of the Demon Race darted through the void, constantly scanning the area with their souls.

“Hm?”

Suddenly, both beasts looked in the same direction. A human had appeared there.

Upon seeing the human, a hint of excitement actually appeared in the eyes of the two beasts.

“An unfamiliar face.”

“Could this human be Mixed Void in disguise?”

“Whether he is or not, we just need to fight him. As long as he uses the Void Annihilation Sword Skill, we’ll know for sure he’s the human, Mixed Void!”

SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

The figures of the two Demon Race beasts erupted with power, actively flying in that direction.

…

‘Hm? Are they serving themselves up on a silver platter?’ On the other side, the person who had arrived was, of course, Li Yang.

Seeing the two demonic beasts flying straight toward him, a faint smile touched Li Yang’s lips.

Perfect. He had just been worried that the two beasts might try to flee.

In less than twenty seconds, Li Yang came face-to-face with the two beasts.

“Human, your face is unfamiliar. Who are you?” the wolf-like beast of the Demon Race asked in a low voice, staring at Li Yang.

Hearing this, Li Yang gripped the long spear in his hand and said flatly, “You don’t need to know who I am. You only need to know that I’m here to kill you.”

“Kill us?”

“Haha, human, what shameless boasting!”

Hearing Li Yang’s words, the two beasts of the Demon Race laughed in fury.

This unfamiliar human was so arrogant!

They were powerful, at least within this surrounding region!

BOOM! BOOM!

Without another word, the two beasts of the Demon Race joined forces and charged at Li Yang.

The auras they exuded had both reached the level of Tri-System Deities. When they combined their power, their strength soared to the level of Four-Element Deities!

“Human, we’d like to see just how you plan to kill us!” the wolf-like beast roared.

Watching them charge, Li Yang wasted no time on words and brandished his long spear.

‘Perfect. I’m practicing my spear techniques right now. These alien experts will make good whetstones for my skills!’

Li Yang swung his spear.

SWOOSH!

A beam of spear light shot out in an instant. It moved with incredible speed, reaching the two beasts of the Demon Race in a flash.

“What?” Seeing this, the expressions of the two Demon Race Deities changed slightly.

Li Yang’s attack was too fast. Moreover, they felt a heart-stopping fluctuation of power within it.

“Block it!”

They scrambled to defend themselves, but only when they made contact with the spear light did they feel its true terror!

They were completely unable to block it, feeling as if countless planets were crashing down on them.

“PFFT!” “PFFT!”

The two Demon Race Deities couldn’t withstand it at all. They spat out mouthfuls of blood as their bodies were sent flying backward.

“A Five Elemental Deity!”

The two Demon Race Deities stared at Li Yang, their eyes filled with horror.

“How is that possible? This isn’t the core of the Slaughter Battlefield, yet a Five Elemental Deity has appeared!”

Five Elemental Deities—experts of this caliber—were almost all gathered in the core region of the Slaughter Battlefield, where the most opportunities could be found!

This place was actually very far from the core region. It would take several years to travel there.

Therefore, even among the experts who had come to hunt down Mixed Void, a Four-Element Deity was considered strong. There were no Five Elemental Deities among them at all.

It would take such powerhouses several years just to get here.

And yet, one had just appeared right before their eyes!

“He’s not a Five Elemental Deity! That attack just barely reached the threshold of a Five Elemental Deity.”

“Right. If he were a true Five Elemental Deity, that last attack would have cost us more than half our life force!”

“He’s only just reached the threshold, so he must be a human Four-Element Deity. What’s more, he’s likely using a top-tier Divine Artifact and a Divine Crystal Stone to boost his power. That’s the only way his strength could have increased tenfold and reached the threshold of a Five Elemental Deity.”

“Damn it, where did this human expert come from? We basically know all of the Human Race’s Four-Element Deities, and none of them look like him.”

The two Demon Race experts had grim expressions on their faces.

Whether it was a top-tier Divine Artifact or a Divine Crystal Stone that enhanced a Deity’s power, both were incredibly difficult to obtain. They were items one might only see in the possession of a Five Elemental Deity.

They were both Tri-System Deities and didn’t possess a single top-tier Divine Artifact. It was only due to their special Cultivation Technique, other treasures, and their ability to join forces that they could barely approach the power of a Four-Element Deity.

“Run!”

Without any hesitation, upon realizing Li Yang’s strength, the two Demon Race experts turned to flee.
