Click—!
A crisp sound, like shattering glass, suddenly rang out in the silent Buzhou Mountains.
Yang Jian's three-pointed double-edged sword pierced the void node with unparalleled precision.
There was no earth-shattering explosion, nor any devastating energy surge.
That single point of cold light, which contained all of Yang Jian's power, was like a drop of cold water falling into boiling oil, instantly triggering a chain reaction!
Centered on that node, spiderweb-like cracks spread rapidly through the void.
The Zhou Tian Star Array, which was originally functioning smoothly and forming its own world, seemed to have been paused at this moment.
Immediately afterwards, the billions of shimmering star runes began to dim rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then, one by one, they vanished and disappeared.
Boom!
In just a few breaths, the powerful restriction that had sealed the valley for countless years and was personally set up by the ancient demon emperor completely collapsed after a muffled roar!
The dense, malevolent aura that had enveloped the valley entrance was as if it had been parted by an invisible hand, revealing the true scene inside the valley.
Yang Jian sheathed his three-pointed double-edged sword, looked at his masterpiece, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Done, job done."
This is perfect – it saves time and effort without causing too much of a commotion.
He looked up into the valley.
Unlike the barren, lifeless, dark red land outside.
Inside the valley, there was a hidden paradise.
The sky and earth here are no longer a hazy gray, but present an eerie dark purple hue.
On the ground, there grew many strange flowers and plants that had never been seen before. These plants were pitch black, yet they emitted an eerie light and were full of vitality.
The air was no longer filled with pure malevolent energy and oppressive aura, but rather with a highly refined yet slightly violent demonic power.
Clearly, this grand formation not only served to seal and conceal, but also, over countless years, gathered and transformed the malevolent energy of Buzhou Mountain, providing a unique environment for the creatures within the valley to inhabit.
"That's quite a generous gesture."
Yang Jian sighed in admiration, then strode in without hesitation.
He could sense that the source of that indomitable fighting spirit was deep within this valley.
However, the moment he stepped into the valley...
Swish!Swish!Swish!
Three powerful and ancient auras instantly surged into the sky from three different directions in the valley, firmly locking onto him!
"What kind of creature dares to trespass into the forbidden territory of the demon race!"
A roar as loud as thunder echoed throughout the valley.
His voice was filled with anger at being disturbed, and an unyielding authority.
The next moment, three streaks of light shot out from the depths of the valley at extremely high speed, forming a triangular shape and surrounding Yang Jian in the center.
The light faded, revealing three tall figures.
Leading the group was a burly demon with a lion's head and a human body. He wore golden armor, wielded a giant axe, and had a golden mane that resembled burning flames. He was imposing and exuded a menacing aura.
On the left is a wolf-headed, human-bodied demon. He is agile, wields a pair of sharp claws, and has a cold and cunning look in his eyes, as if he might pounce at any moment and tear his enemies to shreds.
On the right is a demon with an eagle's head and a human body. He has wings on his back, holds a large black bow, and has sharp, lightning-like eyes staring intently at Yang Jian, as if he already considers him a dead man.
The three demons possessed extremely powerful auras, all of them being at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm!
Just one step away from reaching the Great Luo realm!
Moreover, the demonic aura emanating from them was pure and ancient, bearing a unique mark of the primordial era, clearly indicating that they were ancient monsters who had lived for countless years.
Yang Jian looked at the three "roadblocks" that had suddenly appeared, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He never expected that, besides Xing Tian's head, there would be other living creatures in this valley.
Judging from their appearance, they must have been guards left behind by Emperor Jun to protect the seal.
"Who are you people?" Yang Jian asked with interest, without immediately taking action.
"Insolence!" The lion-headed demon king, who was in the lead, slammed his giant axe down with a loud bang and stared angrily at Yang Jian.
"Who do you think you are, to presume to question us!"
"I am the 'Prison-Suppressing Lion King,' appointed by His Majesty the Demon Emperor to guard this place!"
The wolf-headed demon king and the eagle-headed demon king beside him also announced their names at the same time.
"I am the 'Moon-Devouring Wolf King'!"
"I am the 'Sky-Splitting Eagle King'!"
The three demon kings, with their arrogant expressions, looked at Yang Jian with eyes full of contempt and murderous intent.
In their view, although Yang Jian had broken through the outer formation, his cultivation level was only at the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.
When the three brothers join forces and unleash their combined attacks, even a true Grand Luo Golden Immortal would dare to fight them!
What's more, this is their territory!
The Prison-Suppressing Lion King stepped forward and questioned in a booming voice, "This place is the forbidden ground where the head of the Great Witch Xing Tian of the Witch Clan is sealed, and it is guarded by order of His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor Di Jun!"
"You brat, who are you? Why have you trespassed here? State your name immediately, for we do not kill nameless ghosts!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Jian's expression instantly became somewhat strange.
Your Majesty the Demon Emperor?
Heavenly Emperor Di Jun?
He blinked, a little taken aback.
No, what era is this?
Why do people still call Di Jun the Heavenly Emperor?
A ridiculous thought suddenly popped into his mind.
These three guys, could it be... that they've been guarding this place since the ancient war between the Lich King and the Demon King, completely isolated from the world, and have no idea what's happening outside?
This information delay is far too severe.
They're practically living fossils!
Looking at the three demon kings with expressions that said, "I am the Heavenly Emperor's subordinate, I am incredibly powerful," Yang Jian was momentarily at a loss for words.
It felt like seeing three people still using old-fashioned mobile phones, discussing how to use pagers.
It's full of a sense of the times and... humor.
He suppressed a laugh, cleared his throat, and decided to confirm it first.
"You've been staying here all this time?"
"Nonsense!" the Moon-Devouring Wolf King snapped impatiently. "We are here under His Majesty's orders, and we will not leave for a moment! Until His Majesty sends new decrees!"
"Boy, stop your nonsense! Who are you? If you don't tell us your name, don't blame us for devouring you alive and refining your primordial spirit!" The black bow in the hands of the Sky-Splitting Eagle King was already half drawn, and a black arrow formed from demonic power was locked on Yang Jian's brow from afar.
Okay, that's confirmed.
Yang Jian finally understood.
These three unlucky guys were tricked by Dijun into staying here and becoming watchdogs for endless years.
It's likely that Di Jun was thinking that after dealing with the Wu Clan, he would then deal with Xing Tian and release them along the way.
Unexpectedly, he messed up during the Lich Calamity, dragging the entire Heavenly Court of the Demon Race down with him.
These three loyal guards were thus forgotten in the desolate corner of Buzhou Mountain, day after day, year after year, waiting for an order that would never come.
Thinking of this, Yang Jian looked at them with a hint of sympathy.
It's too awful.
It was so moving that it brought tears to the eyes of anyone who heard it.
These are undoubtedly the most miserable employees of the year.
Seeing Yang Jian's strange look, the Prison-Suppressing Lion King frowned, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.
"Kid, what kind of look is that?"
"It's nothing." Yang Jian waved his hand, deciding to give them a quick death and let them be free as soon as possible.
"My name is Yang Jian. I'm here to retrieve something."
"Yang Jian?" The three demon kings repeated the name, all feeling it was somewhat unfamiliar.
"Hmph, I don't care what you call me! This place is a forbidden area for the demon race. Everything inside belongs to my demon race! How dare you, an outsider, lay a finger on it!" The Prison-Suppressing Lion King roared angrily.
"If you know what's good for you, get out of this valley right now! Otherwise, today will be your death day!"
Yang Jian sighed.
There's really not much to say to these few out-of-touch antiques.
"Demon race?" He chuckled lightly, a hint of mockery in his voice.
"The demon race you speak of has long since perished."
"What did you say?!"
Upon hearing this, the three demon kings were enraged!
"You audacious madman! How dare you curse my demon race's Heavenly Court! You deserve to die!"
The Lion King of the Prison was completely enraged. He could not tolerate anyone insulting the supreme Heavenly Court of the Demon Race in his heart.
"Second brother, third brother, form the battle formation! Tear this scoundrel to pieces! Make him pay for his arrogant words!"
"Yes, brother!"
The Moon-Devouring Wolf King and the Sky-Splitting Eagle King, also filled with murderous intent, responded with a resounding roar.
The next moment, the figures of the three demon kings instantly transformed into three streams of light, moving rapidly along some mysterious trajectory.
A powerful array force instantly enveloped Yang Jian.
"Three Talents God-Slaying Formation! Kill!"
The Prison-Suppressing Lion King roared, raising his giant axe high and drawing upon the power of the array to transform it into a hundred-zhang-long blood-red giant axe. With a world-shaking force, it cleaved down towards Yang Jian!
At the same time, the Moon-Devouring Wolf King appeared behind Yang Jian like a ghost, its claws gleaming with a chilling light, silently reaching for his back!
Meanwhile, the Sky-Splitting Eagle King flew high into the sky, drawing its large black bow to a full moon!
hum!
Three black arrows, imbued with terrifying penetrating power, shot towards Yang Jian in a triangular formation, blocking all his escape routes!
Attack from all three directions—top, middle, and bottom—in a pincer movement!
Combined with the suppression and enhancement of the formation, this set of combined attacks is virtually flawless!
Its power far exceeds the scope of Taiyi Golden Immortal, and is enough to pose a fatal threat to any early-stage Daluo Golden Immortal!
They believed that with this one blow, the arrogant young man in front of them would be completely annihilated!
However, they were faced with this deadly siege.
Yang Jian showed no sign of panic.
He couldn't even be bothered to move.
He just looked at them with an expression as if they were idiots.
"well……"
He sighed softly.
Why bother?
Just as the giant axe, claws, and arrows were about to touch his body...
Yang Jian finally made a move.
He neither resisted nor dodged.
He simply and without reservation released the overwhelming pressure of his newly attained Great Luo Golden Immortal level!
boom--!
An indescribable, terrifying pressure erupted from Yang Jian's center!
That's neither magic nor supernatural power.
That was an absolute crushing on a life level!
It's a high-dimensional attack on a low-dimensional one—a dimensional reduction strike!
Faced with this terrifying pressure, time seemed to stand still.
The terrifying, blood-red giant axe shattered inch by inch just three feet above Yang Jian's head, turning into countless points of light.
Before those silent, sharp claws could even touch Yang Jian's clothes, they were sent flying backward by an invisible force.
The three black arrows, powerful enough to pierce mountains, vaporized in mid-air and vanished without a trace.
The so-called "Three Talents God-Slaying Formation" was as fragile as a joke in the face of this absolute pressure, collapsing without even lasting a moment!
"puff!"
"puff!"
"puff!"
The three demon kings were struck as if by lightning, and at the same time they spat out a mouthful of blood!
They felt like three tiny ants trying to shake an ancient sacred mountain!
That irresistible fear and trembling, originating from the depths of their souls, made it incredibly difficult for them to even stand!
The three people's bodies fell uncontrollably from mid-air, crashing heavily to the ground and creating three large craters.
"Great...Great Luo...Golden Immortal..."
The Prison Lion King lay in the pit, staring intently at the figure who still stood with his hands behind his back, his clothes perfectly straight, as if he had seen a ghost. His voice was filled with endless horror and disbelief.
They never dreamed that this seemingly ordinary young man was actually a genuine Great Immortal!
Moreover, he wasn't just any ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortal!
This oppressive aura was even more terrifying than the old-guard Great Luo Demon Gods in the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race that they had felt from afar before!
Finished!
We've hit a brick wall!
The hearts of the three demon kings sank to the bottom in an instant.
They knew that they probably wouldn't survive today.
Yang Jian slowly, step by step, walked up to them and looked down at them from his high position.
"Now, can you listen to me properly?"
His voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable authority.
The three demon kings struggled to stand up, but under that terrifying pressure, they couldn't even move a finger.
They could only humiliatingly lie on the ground, looking up at Yang Jian.
"I didn't lie to you."
Yang Jian's voice seemed to come from the depths of hell, revealing a cruel truth to them.
"The ancient calamity of the Lich and Demon races resulted in mutual destruction."
"Your Demon Emperor Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi have both perished."
"Your proud demon race's heavenly court has long been reduced to ruins and has withdrawn from the stage of history."
"The current ruler of the Three Realms is the new Heavenly Court, appointed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun. The Heavenly Emperor is called Haotian."
"Times have changed."
Every word Yang Jian uttered was like a heavy hammer, striking the hearts of the three demon kings!
