How Dare You Run Wild in This Sacred Buddhist Land?!

Only at this moment did Taiqing reveal his true power.

Sensing his aura, the Three Great Demon Emperors were utterly shocked.

Once they came to their senses, they hurriedly scattered and fled. But how could this place allow them to come and go so easily?

Taiqing threw a punch, and all their careful preparations turned to nothing in an instant.

Before Taiqing, no amount of defense was anything but useless!

The strength Taiqing displayed now far surpassed Demon Emperor Bai Fan’s. The three Demon Emperors were pale with shock, unable to believe it.

"This is impossible!"

"No!"

Before the despairing eyes of the three Demon Emperors, Taiqing’s fist slammed into them.

The next moment, the three beings comparable to Sages vanished completely.

Before Taiqing, Sages were nothing more than ants.

To others, Sages were already immensely powerful, nearly invincible.

But before Taiqing, what did Sages amount to?

Thus, the Three Great Demon Emperors were reduced to dust, their souls permanently erased as well.

Clearly, they had completely lost any chance to turn things around.

Taiqing’s strength terrified countless demons.

It all seemed like a dream. Those were the Three Great Demon Emperors!

Yet Taiqing had slaughtered them as easily as chickens and dogs. What terrifying might!

In an instant, every demon present fell into despair…

Taiqing would never allow the demons to run free.

Those human demon hunters would not tolerate their existence either.

Although the demon beasts were vast in number, in the eyes of those powerful figures, no matter how many there were, they were insignificant beings who could be wiped out with ease.

At this moment, roughly a million Demonic Beasts remained on the battlefield.

Under these circumstances, they fled in all directions, hoping to preserve their lives.

However, it was already too late to escape now!

"The Three Emperors are dead. Why have you not followed them?

If you are willing to bow and beg for mercy, perhaps you may still be left with a sliver of life."

As soon as the words fell, roughly two million Demonic Beasts immediately dropped to the ground and begged for mercy.

Most of the rest were Demonic Beasts who prized freedom and refused to submit.

They were unwilling to be controlled and believed that their chances of breaking out were extremely high.

After all, there were still millions of companions around them!

Could Taiqing really annihilate all of them in an instant? Even the Three Emperors could not have done that.

Although Taiqing was far stronger than the Three Emperors, the gap could not be that enormous.

Clinging to such wishful thinking, these Demonic Beasts continued fleeing in every direction, attempting to evade the encirclement of the powerful.

"You truly seek your own destruction! I had intended to show mercy.

It seems you will not give up until you see the outcome with your own eyes.

In that case, all of you shall be destroyed!"

"Kill!"

Taiqing made his move.

This time, he held nothing back. He charged forward with unstoppable force.

Countless Demonic Beasts saw darkness fall before their eyes, then turned to dust beneath the Great Sun Mystic Light.

It had to be said that the Sun-Moon Mystic Light truly was a divine weapon for exterminating races. Wherever its radiance reached, Demonic Beasts had nowhere to hide and absolutely no chance of survival.

Taiqing let out a soft sigh at this, then ordered the many Demonic Beasts to be organized into slaves and formed into a massive slave legion for the knights to command in gathering all kinds of resources.

From a certain perspective, Demonic Beasts possessed physical strength countless times greater than humans.

Even as slaves, these Demonic Beasts were far more dependable than ordinary human slaves.

Take mining alone: the amount of ore they could excavate each day was at least three or four times that of human slaves. This was a clear difference between them.

Furthermore, human slaves could work for at most thirteen or fourteen hours a day. Beyond that, they would lack the strength to continue.

But these demon slaves could still work for eighteen straight hours without the slightest sign of fatigue.

With these slaves, building the Primordial World in the future would undoubtedly become much easier, but that was still a matter for the future.

For now, he could only maintain the current situation and have these Demonic Beasts perform simple labor such as mining.

In this battle, humanity achieved a complete victory.

Even Blood Slaughter Sword King Jiu, who was always stern, revealed a delighted expression. It was clear how important this battle had been to humanity.

Had humanity not won, had Taiqing been defeated, the Three Emperors would certainly not have spared humanity. Humanity’s plight would have been even more miserable than that of these demons.

Conflict between races had always been so cruel.

Since ancient times, once a racial war broke out, it became a fight to the death, with both sides seeking to utterly exterminate the other.

Taiqing dared to subdue these Demonic Beasts because he believed he could control them and turn them into a source of strength.

In his view, this world was about to merge into the Primordial World, and the Demonic Beasts would be unable to stir up any great waves.

Therefore, he chose subjugation rather than extermination.

If he had been a native of this world, he would never have been so merciful this time. Exterminating the race down to its roots would have been the wisest choice!

Taiqing’s gaze reached further ahead. He understood that the Demonic Beasts were so arrogant entirely because of the differences in their environment.

If this world could be absorbed into the Primordial World, all conflicts would naturally be resolved.

There, under humanity’s absolute strength and oppression, all dissatisfaction and resentment would be suppressed.

After three generations, these Demonic Beasts would become vassals of the Human Race, just like the many powerful races of the Primordial World.

Time flew by, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.

In Chang’an City, the hunter organization erupted in celebration upon learning that the Bounty Hunters had successfully wiped out the main demon force.

At first, they had believed that most hunters would fail, but the facts proved that the ones who truly suffered defeat were the demon race.

The Demonic Beasts of today were no longer as they had once been, and their former arrogance had diminished considerably.

Especially after hearing that Spirit Mountain had lost contact, many Demonic Beasts chose to retreat.

They were afraid. Even powerful figures like the Three Emperors had died at Taiqing’s hands!

Although they were powerful, and some even possessed Demon King-level strength, what use was that?

Before the powerful Human Race, the Demonic Beasts had no power to resist.

Therefore, although Demonic Beasts reproduced rapidly, under the orders of their higher-ups, they did not dare casually invade powerful human nations.

Without question, Taiqing’s counterattack had caused many Demonic Beasts to lose their protection.

Under such circumstances, they could not avoid him fast enough. How would they dare confront him head-on?

As a result, the Bounty Hunter organization continued growing stronger during this period.

Although Bounty Hunters above Level Six had not appeared in great numbers, their numbers continued to increase.

Every few days, high-ranking demon hunters wearing demon hunter badges would accept missions.

It could not be denied that, from a certain perspective, the retreat of the Demonic Beasts had brought considerable gains to the Bounty Hunter organization this time.

The release of a large number of missions brought many high-ranking hunters out from hiding and into the open.

In the past, most of them had not dared accept high-risk missions, because there were too many powerful Demonic Beasts outside.

Now, the situation had changed. No matter how dangerous the mission was, they could complete it because the support system had been restored.

If a mission was too dangerous, they could seek help from headquarters.

Although doing so would mean losing more than half of the bounty, it was still far better than taking ordinary missions.

In fact, this was how they had operated when the Heavenly Court still existed.

Later, the Heavenly Court vanished, and the density of Demonic Beasts surged.

Many powerful Demonic Beasts often gathered together then, making the hunters’ missions far more difficult.

But now it was different. After the situation changed, many Demonic Beasts retreated to their own territories.

The Demonic Beasts that had originally liked gathering together had no choice but to scatter in order to protect themselves and improve their odds of survival.

This was the real world!

Without the protection of the powerful, Demonic Beasts were equally vulnerable before the powerful of the Human Race.

After dealing with the strongest Demon Emperors, Taiqing lost interest in the Demonic Beasts.

What interested him more now was Spirit Mountain.

Through intelligence gathered from many sources, Taiqing learned a shocking piece of news: Demon Emperor Bai Fan, ruler of the demon race, had actually disappeared in Spirit Mountain.

The Spirit Mountain in this world was the largest nest of Demonic Beasts and the residence of the demon race’s ruler.

This meant that this was Demon Emperor Bai Fan’s home, yet Bai Fan had mysteriously disappeared in this very area.

The more Taiqing considered the matter, the more unbelievable it seemed.

Driven by intense curiosity, Taiqing decided to go to Spirit Mountain and investigate.

He left those around him where they were, but before departing, he still made arrangements and instructed the demon hunters to return to Chang’an and wait for his return.

Everyone believed Taiqing’s words completely. They regarded him as an omnipotent being and even saw him as the one true god.

They would certainly obey the instructions of a god.

Although Venerable Void and Blood Slaughter Sword King Jiu had some doubts, they trusted Taiqing. Thus, Taiqing’s departure did not affect them too greatly.

The demon hunters returning to Chang’an were filled with joy and in high spirits.

Spirit Mountain.

Taiqing finally arrived here. Compared with Spirit Mountain in the Primordial World, this place was incomparably chaotic, and the gap between the two was obvious.

Buddha statues had fallen over, and the scent of blood had yet to fade. All of this made Taiqing even more curious about this place.

Although this place had already been cleared out, Taiqing still sensed mixed demon auras with his sharp perception.

Clearly, this had once been a dwelling place for Demonic Beasts. There was no doubt about that.

Under the current circumstances, that demon aura had already become extremely faint, replaced by a mysterious aura of the Buddhist Sect.

This aura was incomparably dense and gradually concealed the demon aura.

"Who has come here?"

Taiqing intended to continue forward, but a middle-aged man blocked his path. Clearly, the other party did not want him to enter.

"Oh? I never expected a Demonic Beast to still be hiding here, and a rare white-furred lion at that.

What is it? Do you intend to stop me?"

After seeing through the middle-aged man’s true identity, Taiqing smiled and teased him a few times before stepping forward again. This time, it seemed he was determined to force his way through Spirit Mountain’s gates no matter what.

However, how could the middle-aged man, as its guardian, allow him to pass so easily? Burning with rage, he shouted sharply, "Insolence!

How dare you run wild in this sacred Buddhist land!

Die!"

Taiqing frowned slightly at this and said in a low voice, "So you have already been refined into a puppet.

No wonder you look like something under control. With your current cultivation, you should have already reached the realm of a Limitless Sage.

There is probably no other demon like you in this world.

Who would have thought that the mighty Demon Emperor Bai Fan would fall to the point of guarding a gate.

How regrettable and lamentable! You must have struggled fiercely as well, but in the end, you were powerless to change anything!"

As soon as Taiqing finished speaking, his right hand lightly swept across the middle-aged man’s neck.

Demon Emperor Bai Fan, who had once dominated the demon race, was beheaded by Taiqing in a single move.

Although his final, all-out strike hit Taiqing before his death, compared with his own miserable state, that blow was utterly powerless. It failed to create the slightest ripple when it landed on Taiqing.

Taiqing was completely unharmed. He did not even feel the discomfort of a mosquito bite.

Taiqing’s defensive methods were practically perfect.

Although Demon Emperor Bai Fan was powerful, he had only reached the level of an ordinary Limitless Sage.

Yet there was still an enormous gap between a Limitless Sage and the Heavenly Dao Realm.

Moreover, Taiqing was already an expert at the Heavenly Dao Realm Seventh Layer, with battle strength rivaling beings of the Heavenly Dao Realm Ninth Heaven.

Under such circumstances, Bai Fan’s death was not unjustified.

Although the white lion possessed extraordinary talent and, after becoming a demon, had potential and strength far exceeding his peers, he had no ability to fight back before such a powerful opponent.

Taiqing finally entered Spirit Mountain, yet the sight before him was completely different from what he had expected.

He had originally thought Spirit Mountain would be in ruins, desolate like the outside, but he now discovered that there was an entirely different world within.

As far as the eye could see, Buddha statues forged from golden light covered the ground, each containing dense Buddhist power.

These Buddha statues created a unique atmosphere. If a Buddhist disciple were here, they would surely comprehend the profound truths of Buddhist teachings and immediately attain Buddhahood.

This showed just how profound the Buddhist essence of this place was.

Even a powerful figure like Taiqing could not help but grow curious.

"Who exactly is controlling everything here?"

With this question in mind, Taiqing continued forward. No one could stop him, and although the Buddha Light around him was brilliant, it dispersed into nothingness before him.

Taiqing’s strength was evident from this.
