Chapter 607. Trembling in Fear, the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons Despair

After making up their minds, the remaining seven Extracosmic Heavenly Demons no longer hesitated.

They fled in different directions. They did not try to tear open space. At their level, an opponent could use the laws they controlled to seal the surrounding space with a single thought.

Even so, as Extracosmic Heavenly Demons, their speed was still unbelievably fast. Like streaks of lightning, they shot toward the borders of Mount Hulong.

"Buddha's Palm Domain!"

At Lu Yuan's command, ancient temples and monasteries rose from the ground one after another.

Within the clouds, Buddhist lights emerged and enveloped the entire Mount Hulong region.

Lu Yuan used Buddha's Palm Domain to seal the surrounding space, trapping all seven Extracosmic Heavenly Demons within it.

Powerful as they were, they could not break free immediately and found themselves trapped.

Lu Yuan seized this chance and attacked again.

He appeared before one Extracosmic Heavenly Demon, his aura raging as gold vital qi interlaced with hues of crimson erupted. Overwhelming battle intent surged from him as he struck without hesitation.

Rumble!

Thunder shook the sky.

That Extracosmic Heavenly Demon could not withstand it at all. Like those before him, his flesh cracked apart. A moment later, his flesh and soul alike were completely erased.

Another Extracosmic Heavenly Demon had died. Now, only six remained.

The others remained imprisoned within Buddha's Palm Domain and could not break free.

This was Lu Yuan's technique, and from the beginning, he had intended to kill every one of these demons. He could not allow even one to escape and turn its attention to ordinary citizens. Since he had made his move, he would wipe them all out.

"We cannot get out. We can only risk our lives!"

The remaining Extracosmic Heavenly Demons were deeply alarmed. They wanted to flee and knew they were no match for Lu Yuan, but with escape impossible, their only choice was to fight for their lives.

Before the six could act, Lu Yuan attacked once more.

In the next instant, he killed another one.

By now, the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons had lost all will to fight, and their fighting strength had plummeted. Killing them became even easier for Lu Yuan.

The remaining five trembled in fear. They had descended believing they would conquer this world, never imagining that they would meet such an end. Yet with no way to escape, what could they possibly do?

From then on, the battle became a one-sided rout. Lu Yuan was simply too powerful. With his deep reserves and formidable methods, perhaps only a Supreme Immortal-level figure could suppress him.

The sight was astonishing. It even made Jiang Ningxian wonder whether he was as powerful as her father.

Zhu Qingyu and the others had gone numb with shock. The Extracosmic Heavenly Demons they regarded as great enemies had only just descended, yet they were already on the verge of annihilation.

All of this had happened with astonishing speed.

Pfft! Pfft!

Soon, another two Extracosmic Heavenly Demons were killed, leaving only three.

They were already no match for Lu Yuan, and even risking their lives changed nothing.

In the end, only one outcome awaited them.

Death.

Lu Yuan had no intention of sparing them. He would not leave a single one alive.

Back then, he had not been able to obtain any information from the Eternals or the Ji Clan. He naturally assumed it to be the same for these beings. He might as well wipe them out instead of wasting time on questions they would never answer.

Not long afterward, Buddha's Palm Domain vanished completely.

The twelve Extracosmic Heavenly Demons who had descended had also all been erased.

Of course, the black altar on Mount Hulong still existed.

Lu Yuan could kill the invaders, but he still had no effective way to deal with the altar.

Nevertheless, the first invasion by the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons had ended in complete victory.

"So... is it already over?" Zhu Qingyu and the others stared at the scene in disbelief. They had come expecting a terrifying battle.

Although they knew they would not need to enter the fray themselves, they had been certain the fight would not end easily. Yet every Extracosmic Heavenly Demon was already dead.

"You watched the battle from beginning to end. What thoughts do you have?"

Lu Yuan turned to the others. He had brought them here to understand their future opponents, so now that the battle was over, he naturally wanted to hear what they had learned.

After hearing this, everyone looked at one another. Indeed, they had watched the battle and had seen the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons.

But when asked what exactly they had learned, they found themselves at a loss. Everything had happened so quickly that they had barely had time to react.

Lu Yuan seemed to realize this as well and rubbed his nose.

He had not wanted to waste time, but neither had he expected the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons to fall so quickly. In the end, he said, "The Extracosmic Heavenly Demons may be powerful, but they are not invincible. Nor do all of them possess this level of strength.

"Think carefully about today's battle after you return. If you discover anything, come to me at any time."

Lu Yuan was not anxious about this. He knew he had to give everyone time to digest it.

Then he turned and looked at the black altar on Mount Hulong.

The power of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons above it remained the same as before.

Black mist continued seeping outward. That strange power also continued transforming the surrounding environment and the laws of heaven and earth.

However, unlike last time, Lu Yuan discovered after this battle that the strange power had altered only a limited area. It could not yet affect the entire world.

He immediately understood that the power could affect the entire world only after the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons truly descended in force.

"Did you discover something?" Jiang Ningxian asked, walking over.

Lu Yuan shook his head. It was nothing significant.

Finally, he looked at her and said softly, "Everything has only just begun. These people were merely the vanguard. I have a feeling that the real war will erupt before long.

"That day isn't far away. When it comes, everything will descend into chaos."
