Inside the Skyend Mountains.
Shao Junyi moved forward cautiously.
Although he was not in the hinterland of the Monster Clan, there were many monsters around.
Given his current strength.
If he was surrounded by demonic beasts, it would be a dead end.
Even a God Martial Arts Realm cultivator would have to be careful when facing the monsters in the Skyend Mountains. If he encountered the Monster Clan, even a Heavenly Realm cultivator might not be able to escape unscathed.
For the Human Clan.
The Skyend Mountains was a forbidden area.
However.
If the other party did not reveal their identity in advance, it would be very difficult to distinguish between the Demon Clan and the Demonic Beasts just by looking at them.
After all, there was no difference in appearance between the two except for intelligence.
The sword light flashed and a monster in the Early-stage of True Martial Realm fell to the ground.
Shao Junyi bent down and touched it briefly. After confirming that there was no beast core, he stood up.
Now that he was a little deeper into the Skyend Mountains, the monsters he encountered were generally stronger.
Early-stage True Martial Realm monsters were few and far between. Most of them were at the Inner Aura Realm.
The further he went.
The strength of these monsters would gradually increase.
This was because only powerful demonic beasts had the right to stay close to the demonic beasts.
The Spirit Qi here was denser, which was different from the outer layer.
"If I want to find out what happened to the Monster Clan a few days ago, I have to go deep into the Monster Clan's hinterland or catch a monster to ask."
Shao Junyi thought.
Although the Monster Clan was terrifying, in the hinterland of the Monster Clan, they were only the top experts.
In fact, the ordinary Monster Clan was not strong.
Even if the Monster Clan was naturally stronger than the Human Clan, it would not be much stronger.
Or else …
The Monster Clan would not have fallen to the point where they were today.
Therefore.
If he wanted to catch the Monster Clan, he could only choose those with average strength.
Although there was a risk, it was still within his tolerance.
On the other side.
The army was gathering.
This was different from when they supported the Imperial City.
Now that the Human Clan had quelled the turmoil, the Beiyun Mansion did not need to leave too many people to guard. Therefore, the army gathered this time directly used 90% of the Beiyun Mansion's strength.
Tens of millions of soldiers gathered at the border of the Beiyun Mansion.
Liang Mountain Spirit Realm, Yuan Sect.
Qin Shujian looked at the murderous aura gathering in the sky with a grave expression.
If there was anything else that could threaten a Celestial other than a powerhouse of the same level, then military formations would be one of them.
Especially when it came to killing at this level.
Most likely, even ordinary Celestials would be suppressed by the murderous aura.
Such power was terrifying, but it made sense.
After all, the imperial court could not just rely on the Celestial Being on the surface to suppress the world. Compared to the vastness of the Great Zhao, the number of Celestials was far too few.
Even if it was distributed evenly, it would at most serve as a deterrent on the surface.
The ones who were truly suppressing the four directions were the armies of the various regions.
"In the Main Sect, all martial artists above Lv 3 of the True Martial Realm are to gather in the Martial Arts Practice Field. Martial artists above Lv 3 of the True Martial Realm in all branches are to get ready!"
After watching for a long time, Qin Shujian flew up into the air, and his voice resounded in all directions.
After saying this.
More than ten powerful auras rose in succession, and they all replied, "Yes, sir!"
These people were the elders of the Yuan Sect.
Immediately.
The experts of the sect moved.
Some of the disciples had grave expressions, while others looked regretful.
They were all well aware of what it meant to gather at this time.
Or rather.
Everyone in the Mount Liang Domain who heard this voice understood what the Yuan Sect was planning.
"Unfortunately, I'm just a little bit away from breaking through to Lv 4 of the True Martial Realm and officially stepping into the Inner Energy Realm!"
"… …"
Some disciples complained helplessly.
It was clear that only cultivators above Lv 3 of the True Martial Realm were qualified to participate in this attack on the demon race.
As for those below that level, they did not have the right to participate.
In many people's view, attacking the demon race meant great benefits.
Everyone wanted this opportunity.
But in Qin Shujian's view, although the human race had a high chance of victory in this attack on the demon race, the demon race was not truly a soft persimmon that could be pinched at will.
A battle of this level.
Unless it was a large army in a military formation, it would be safer to at least condense Inner Energy.
As for military formations.
They were not something that ordinary people could come into contact with.
Moreover, even if Qin Shujian had the confidence to deduce military formations, it would not be easy to practice them.
Look at the entire human race.
Only the imperial court's army was qualified to use military formations.
The reason for this was that even if the other sects had military formations, it would not be cost-effective for them to display their individual strength.
In the Drill Hall.
A group of disciples gathered.
Qin Shujian looked at the murderous aura in front of him and said in a deep voice, "Today is the day that the human race will launch a large-scale attack on the demon race. No one is allowed to hold back. Our goal is to exterminate the demon race."
"We will obey the sect master's order!"
"Well, let's go!"
Qin Shujian nodded and then gave the order.
He did not say too much because there was no need to.
The hatred between the human race and the demon race had been going on for a long time. Even ten thousand years ago, the two sides stood on opposite sides.
This time, the battle.
Either the human race would be defeated or the demon race would be destroyed.
There was no other outcome besides the former.
As for what would happen if the human race was defeated, it was also tacitly agreed by everyone.
Soon.
The Yuan Sect cultivators moved out in large numbers.
On the other side, the army also began to go deep into the Skyend Mountains.
When the Yuan Sect people met the army, both sides tacitly did not disturb each other. Instead, they seemed to be working together to fight the enemy.
Everyone knew.
The main force of the attack on the demon race this time was the imperial court's army, and the others were just assisting from the side.
In the sky above the army.
The experts were flying in the sky, guarding against the attacks of the demon race from all directions.
At this time, Qin Shujian did not go anywhere. Instead, he met up with Marquis Beiyun and other experts from the imperial court.
"Sect Master Qin is here."
"Greetings, Marquis Beiyun!" Qin Shujian smiled and cupped his hands.
Beside Marquis Beiyun was a group of experts from the Marquis Beiyun Mansion.
Among them, Li Guangan, Su Mingyang, and the others were among them.
When they saw Qin Shujian, these people also cupped their hands and saluted, "Greetings, Sect Master Qin!"
It was different from the past.
The current Qin Shujian was already a Celestial Being expert.
Even if they were from the Marquis Beiyun Mansion, they still had to maintain a respectful attitude.
At this time.
Someone had already come forward with a demon beast for Qin Shujian to ride.
The demon beast was not weak. It was an existence in the Airborne Realm.
When Qin Shujian rode on it, the demon beast's body trembled, and there was a flash of fear in its bell-like eyes.
These demon beasts had been domesticated by the human race, so they were no longer fierce.
However, the demon beast's instinct to seek luck and avoid danger still existed.
Even though Qin Shujian did not reveal his Celestial Being aura, the faintly discernible aura was still enough to make this demon beast feel afraid.
As the army attacked.
Qin Shujian and Marquis Beiyun were in the middle of the army. As the army surged, they walked side by side.
"In your opinion, what are our chances of winning against the demon race this time?"
The demon beast's back rose and fell slightly as it walked. Qin Shujian turned his head to look at Marquis Beiyun and asked with a faint smile.
Hearing this.
Marquis Beiyun shook his head and said, "If all the Demon Saints were here, there would be many variables in this battle. But now that the demon race's strength has been greatly reduced, they no longer have the capital to contend against the human race."
In his opinion.
This time, the demon race would definitely lose.
However, in Marquis Beiyun's eyes, the demon race had never been the biggest threat to the human race.
It was not in the past, and it was not now.
Even when the Human Emperor faked his death, the human race was in chaos, and the demon race took the opportunity to attack the 13 prefectures of the Great Zhao Dynasty, he still did not think so.
In Marquis Beiyun's mind.
The real threat was the Demon Abyss that was constantly approaching this world.
The Demon Abyss that had once caused the collapse of the Ancient Heavenly Court and all the immortals to fall together.
Although the Human Emperor's power was vast and the Great Zhao Dynasty's aura was flourishing, it was still far inferior to the Ancient Heavenly Court.
Although the Human Emperor was strong.
In the end, he did not become an immortal.
If such a force faced the entire Demon Abyss, the human race would instantly fall into a state of defeat.
However, these things.
Marquis Beiyun did not say too much to Qin Shujian.
In his opinion, although Qin Shujian's foundation was strong and his strength was not weak, he was still a little weak when it came to the Demon Abyss.
If possible, it would be better to know less and have less troubles.
Even Marquis Beiyun himself hoped that he did not know about the Demon Abyss.
However.
There were no ifs.
Since he knew, he had to take on this big responsibility.
As for the Human Emperor.
In Marquis Beiyun's opinion, the other party should also be aware of the existence of the Demon Abyss. After all, according to Zu Bing, the other party had obtained the legacy of the Ancient Heavenly Court.
And the confrontation with the demon race some time ago.
The means used by the Human Emperor also confirmed this point.
"Maybe the Human Emperor wants to imitate the Ancient Heavenly Court and reunite the human race powerhouses to fight against the Demon Abyss!"
Marquis Beiyun secretly shook his head.
Obviously, the Human Emperor's current actions were not to avoid the battle.
Some things could be seen from the time when the shadow of the Ancient Heavenly Court was condensed.
On the other side.
Qin Shujian could also see some things from Marquis Beiyun's thoughtful expression.
However, since the other party did not say anything, he could not ask too much.
At this moment.
The army continued to go deeper and deeper, and they encountered more and more demonic beasts.
Some of these demonic beasts were hit by the murderous aura of the army and fled in fear, while others were hit by the murderous aura and rushed over crazily.
"Kill!"
Niu Feng slashed out with his saber. The saber aura cut through the void and directly killed a demonic beast that had just entered the Spiritual Martial Realm.
With the promotion of the sect, his strength also soared after he broke through to the peak of the Spiritual Martial Realm.
In addition, the Yuan Sect had many powerful martial arts techniques.
Unless it was a demonic beast of the same realm, a demonic beast that had just entered the Spiritual Martial Realm was no match for him at all.
He scanned with his Divine Thought.
Niu Feng raised his long saber and grabbed a palm-sized beast core in his hand.
"The first demonic beast has a beast core. Not bad."
Looking at the beast core in his hand, a smile appeared on his face.
With the reform of the contribution system in the sect.
Those disciples lacked contribution points, and so did the elders.
If they wanted to exchange for cultivation elixirs or powerful martial arts techniques, contribution points were indispensable.
However.
As an elder, Niu Feng would not casually fight with the disciples for demonic beasts.
He would only fight when he encountered demonic beasts that had reached the Spiritual Martial Realm.
Besides that.
He paid more attention to the changes in the surroundings. If a disciple was in danger, he would rescue them in time.
Battles were happening almost all the time.
Although there were many demonic beasts, they were not much help compared to the experts of the Human Clan.
The army kept advancing.
Many demonic beasts were also slaughtered.
However.
The smiles on the faces of Marquis Beiyun and Qin Shujian gradually disappeared and turned solemn.
"What are the Demon Clan doing?"
Qin Shujian looked solemn.
Although there were many demonic beasts in front of them, they were very scattered.
After all.
Although demonic beasts were low-level, they were still one of the main forces of the Demon Clan.
If the demonic beasts were slaughtered by them, the Demon Clan would not have the capital to fight against the Human Clan.
Marquis Beiyun also frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Send scouts out to investigate the situation."
On the other side.
Li Guangan and the others cupped their hands and accepted the order.
Qin Shujian said, "A few days ago, the Demon Clan had some strange movements. Is it related to this matter?"
"It's hard to say."
Marquis Beiyun shook his head.
He also knew about the strange movements of the Demon Clan, but he did not send anyone to investigate.
After all, the hinterland of the Demon Clan.
It was not easy to go in.
At this moment.
The armies of the other prefectures also advanced, going deep into the hinterland of the Demon Clan.
Beside the Human Emperor, Dan Hao said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, the Demon Clan has not shown up so far. Only some demonic beasts have scattered in all directions. I don't know what they are planning to do."
"Attack with all your strength. I want to see what other tricks the Demon Clan has."
The Human Emperor's expression was as usual. When he looked into the depths of the Endless Mountain Range, there were some subtle changes in his eyes.
The current Demon Clan.
They were not taken seriously by him.
In a mountain forest, Shao Junyi dodged an Airborne Realm demonic beast and then walked out of the dark with a puzzled look on his face.
"How can it be? After going deep into the Endless Mountain Range for so long, this should be the hinterland of the Demon Clan!"
"Why is there not a single Demon Clan?"
The hinterland of the Demon Clan should be the place where the Demon Clan gathered.
Not to say that the Demon Clan was everywhere, but it was impossible for them to not encounter a single Demon Clan after walking for so long.
He suppressed the doubts in his heart.
Shao Junyi continued to go deep into the Endless Mountain Range, trying to find out some movements.
Half a day later.
The doubts in Shao Junyi's heart did not lessen. Instead, they became heavier and heavier.
"Could it be that all the Demon Clan in the Endless Mountain Range have run away?"
He could not help but have this thought in his heart.
They had run away!
If the Demon Clan had really run away, where could they have run to?
The Endless Mountain Range was only so big.
With the huge base of the Demon Clan, even if they ran to other places, it was impossible for them to not leave any traces.
On the other side.
As the armies of the various prefectures sent out scouts, the corresponding news also came back.
"Marquis, the scouts in front have sent news that they did not see any traces of the Demon Clan at all!"
Li Guangan returned to report.
"Not a single Demon Clan?"
"No?"
"Pass down my order. All the armies advance at full speed. I want to see what tricks the Demon Clan is playing!"
Marquis Beiyun waved his hand and directly gave the order.
As soon as he finished speaking.
Li Guangan accepted the order and left.
Then, the army that was still killing the Demon Clan in an orderly manner sped up and headed towards the hinterland of the Demon Clan.
As for Qin Shujian.
Now, his heart was also filled with doubts.
The human army came to attack, but there was not a single Demon Clan.
Such a situation.
He could not help but wonder if the Demon Clan had already run away in advance.
However —
Although the Skyend Mountain Range was vast, there was also a limit.
Now that the humans were attacking with all their strength, even if the Demon Clan had escaped, where could they go?
Then.
Qin Shujian took out the communication jade token and sent some messages.
On the other side.
Zheng Fang took out the communication jade token and read the message inside. Then, he immediately gave the order.
"Everyone, stop killing the Demon Clan and focus on collecting resources!"
After that.
He looked a little confused and muttered to himself, "The Demon Clan has escaped? That can't be."
As for Qin Shujian's message.
Zheng Fang did not have any doubts.
He just could not believe the news that the Demon Clan had escaped.
However, now that the Demon Clan was very likely to have escaped, the next thing to do was to collect resources in the Skyend Mountain Range.
After all, there were many resources here. Even if the Demon Clan had escaped, it was impossible to collect all the resources.
This time, Yuan Zong did not come here purely to kill the Demon Clan.
As a human.
Since the two clans were at war, he should do his part.
However, Yuan Zong's main purpose was to collect resources.
On the other side.
The news of the Demon Clan's escape had already spread. The Human Emperor immediately ordered all the troops to advance at full speed.
"Your Majesty, the world is only so big. Where can the Demon Clan escape to?" Dan Hao frowned deeply and looked puzzled.
The Skyend Mountain Range was not really endless.
Even the world had an end, let alone a mountain range.
Even if this mountain range was vast and boundless, comparable to the Great Zhao Country, there was still a limit.
Moreover, there were many Demon Clans, not much less than the Human Clan.
Under such circumstances.
Even if the Demon Clan had moved on a large scale, it was impossible for them not to leave any traces.
Therefore, in his opinion.
The Demon Clan's actions were really strange.
"The Demon Clan has a long history. It's not strange for them to have some secret methods."
The Human Emperor said calmly.
After that.
He did not say anything else.
Seeing this, Dan Hao did not say anything else.
As for Xi Yang, who was behind him, he completely treated him as an invisible person.
He suddenly realized that.
It seemed to be quite good to be a Crown Prince for ten thousand years.
At least if the sky collapsed, his father would be in front of him.
As for the throne!
To be honest, Xi Yang was not too attached to it now.
Those who did not sit on that throne would never know how much they had to pay to sit on that throne.
As the Human Emperor gave the order.
The armies of the various prefectures also received the message.
Subsequently.
The Human Clan army drove towards the Demon Clan's abdomen.
The Skyend Mountain Range was indeed vast and boundless. Even if the army drove for nearly half a month, they still did not reach the real end.
However, along the way, they killed many monsters, but they did not see a single Demon Clan figure.
Until now.
Everyone had already known that the Demon Clan had escaped.
A month later.
The armies of the various prefectures finally gathered in the Demon Clan's hinterland.
"Your Majesty!"
When the armies gathered, Marquis Beiyun also went to see the Human Emperor immediately.
As for Qin Shujian, it was the same.
He did not know if it was because he had seen the Human Emperor many times or for some other reason, but when he saw the Human Emperor again, he was not so nervous.
"It seems that the Demon Clan has indeed escaped!"
The Human Emperor looked at everything in front of him with a cold expression.
Hearing this.
Marquis Beiyun asked, "There are so many Demons. Even if they have escaped, it's impossible for them not to have left any traces after such a long time, right?"
"If the Demon Clan is still in this world, they naturally would have left some clues."
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
Marquis Beiyun's heart skipped a beat. He vaguely had some guesses about the Human Emperor's words.
As for Qin Shujian and the other experts of the imperial court, they were also shocked.
"Still in this world?"
"Does this mean that there are other worlds?"
Seeing everyone's confusion.
The Human Emperor explained, "In the past, this world was vast and boundless. It was many times larger than the current territory of the Human Clan and the Demon Clan. However, in ancient times, there was an expert who shattered this world.
Naturally, when this world was shattered, some parts of it were destroyed, but some parts of it survived.
And the land under our feet is one of them. "
"In fact, there are other worlds outside our world. They have the same root, but they are blocked by the restriction of heaven and earth."
"If I'm not wrong, the Demon Clan should have used the power of Zu Bing to forcefully break the restriction and escape to another world."
The others had never heard of the existence of other worlds.
Now that the Human Emperor said it, they all felt like they were in a dream.
Even Qin Shujian's face was full of surprise.
In the second world.
It turned out that the Demon Clan had fled to the second world. No wonder they couldn't find a single Demon Clan member.
As for the Human Emperor's words.
Qin Shujian didn't have much doubt.
Because they hadn't met a single Demon Clan member in the past month, which actually explained a lot of things.
As for the strange phenomenon a few days ago.
Now he had some guesses in his heart.
"That should be the movement caused by the Demon Clan's departure to the second world!"
Qin Shujian originally thought that the Demon Clan had some backup plan to deal with the attack of the Human Clan. He didn't expect that they would escape directly.
Then.
Xi Yang asked, "Father, now that the Demon Clan has escaped, what should we do?"
"Are you guys willing to follow me to the end of the Endless Mountain Range to take a look?" The Human Emperor asked.
"We're willing to!"
"Then come over!"
After the Human Emperor said that, his body turned into a stream of light and disappeared on the spot.
In the next moment.
Xi Yang and the others followed closely behind the Human Emperor.
They were also very curious about the end of the Endless Mountain Range.
As for Qin Shujian, he didn't stay either as his body turned into a stream of light and escaped.
"The second world. From the looks of it, the Human Emperor already knew about the existence of the second world."
Many thoughts surged in his mind.
Including what the Human Emperor said to Eagle Sage in the imperial city when he faked his death back then.
The Human Emperor faked his death!
It wasn't just for the Demon Clan.
With the methods that the Human Emperor displayed previously, even if he attacked in a tough manner, the Demon Clan might not be able to withstand it.
Coupled with the current situation.
Qin Shujian already had a guess in his mind.
The Human Emperor's purpose of faking his death wasn't the Demon Clan. The other party's true goal might be the second world that he mentioned.
