"A bunch of stubborn fools, they're practically asking for death." The White Ape Demon King sneered after hearing their words.

"Gentlemen, let's finish this quickly and not give them a chance to self-destruct," the White Ape Demon King said in a deep voice.

If these sorcerers and spirit beasts were to self-destruct, it would not only harm them but also bring them no benefit whatsoever.

After self-destructing, both their soul and body were gone, which was an immense loss for these demon races.

“Alright.” The Tengshe Demon King and the Qinglin Demon King responded, and the other three demon kings also nodded.

Just as everyone was preparing to start the battle, a powerful mental pressure swept over them. Everyone present, including the demon kings, felt a chill and subconsciously looked around.

A moment later, a figure descended from the sky.

Bathed in golden light, Ye Xianya looked like a goddess, so beautiful that one dared not look directly at her.

She has now used a special mystical technique to temporarily restore her appearance from her previous life.

In this life, she actually looks very similar to her previous life, except that Ye Xianya's face is more beautiful.

Having regained her former appearance, she was not as beautiful as before, but she had gained an ethereal quality, making her even more graceful, beautiful, and inviolable.

"Sect... Sect... Sect Master!" The Third Elder stared at Ye Xianya, his eyes widening in disbelief.

What exactly happened?

Didn't the sect leader fail his tribulation and vanish into thin air?

"Sect Leader Ye!" The White Ape Demon King and the others subconsciously took two steps back, their eyes filled with horror.

Wasn't this woman dead? How did she come back to life?

"Three Demon Kings, how have you been?" Ye Xianya landed in front of the Third Elder and the others, and smiled as she looked at the Demon Kings opposite her.

The brighter her smile, the more frightened the white ape demon kings became.

"It has been more than sixty years since we parted ways at the Qilin Mountains. The three demon kings are still the same as before. It is truly enviable," Ye Xianya said with a faint smile.

Upon hearing this, the White Ape Demon King and the others turned ashen-faced.

Sixty years ago, a demonic disturbance occurred in the Kingdom of Jiyuan. Although the Taiyi Sect did not intervene, its leader, Ye Xianya, went down the mountain.

She found three demon kings in the Qilin Mountains, destroyed their caves, and beat them up. Although she didn't kill them, she terrified them.

Now, after hearing Ye Xianya's words, the three demon kings recalled how they had knelt down and begged for mercy back then.

"Sixty years ago, I foresaw that your lives were not meant to end. Moreover, your deaths would cause great chaos among the demon race, which would be a real disaster for the ordinary people of Jiyuan Kingdom. Therefore, I spared your lives and told you to properly control the demons under your command and not to bring harm to the world. What did you do? You actually tried to kill my Taiyi Sect disciples."

After Ye Xianya finished speaking, a dazzling golden light emanated from her body, quickly enveloping the six powerful demon kings opposite her.

The demon kings instantly felt their demon cores about to fly out, and they were all trembling with fear, unable to muster the slightest thought of resistance.

This woman was able to single-handedly defeat those three demon kings sixty years ago; she must be even more powerful now.

She failed to transcend the tribulation but did not die; from ancient times to the present, she is probably the only one like her.

The key point is that after she failed to transcend her tribulation fifty years ago, they received news that she had actually succeeded, but the Heavenly Dao did not allow people in this world to ascend to heaven again, so it destroyed her.

In addition, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has become increasingly scarce over the past few decades, making cultivation more difficult, so they have long believed such rumors.

She successfully transcended her tribulation but neither ascended to immortality nor died; she remained a young woman, which was truly terrifying.

She's definitely more powerful than any legendary earth immortal.

Who in this world can rival her?

"Immortal Master, spare my life!" The Azure Scale Demon King was the first to yield, immediately kneeling down.

It felt its demon core was about to leave its body, and it was completely unable to move.

Once its demon core is taken away, it will surely die.

"Immortal Master, spare our lives!" The White Ape Demon King and the others couldn't muster the slightest thought of resistance and knelt down to beg for mercy, including the three old monsters who were just as powerful as them.

Sixty years ago, when Ye Xianya beat up three demon kings, several old antiques were staying inside the barrier deep in the Qilin Mountains.

They wanted to help, but were terrified by the powerful Leaf Fairy Sprout and cowered away, too afraid to come out.

The same applies now.

"I said sixty years ago that this world has rules, and some existences are permitted by heaven and earth, such as your demon race. Otherwise... do you think I don't have the ability to wipe you all out?" Ye Xianya's face was full of coldness.

After hearing her words, the White Ape Demon Kings all lowered their heads and dared not utter a sound.

"Heaven and earth have the virtue of cherishing life, giving your demon race a glimmer of hope, yet you dare to defy heaven, attempting to dominate the world, challenging the authority of my Taiyi Sect, and harming the human race. Naturally, I cannot tolerate you." Ye Xianya said, looking up at the sky: "Do you think I will still abide by the rules of heaven and earth?"

"Immortal Master, spare our lives!" The White Ape Demon King and the others felt the power suppressing them growing stronger, and their demon cores trembled more violently. They were all terrified.

They are all ancient demons who have lived for over a thousand years, and they cherish their lives the most.

"Heaven will not allow me to ascend. Even though I have successfully transcended the tribulation, I am still trapped in this world. Killing you monsters would be as easy as turning my hand."

As soon as Ye Xianya finished speaking, the six powerful demon kings lost control of their bodies and left the ground.

They were terrified, feeling like fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

"Do you want to die, or do you want to live?" Ye Xianya asked coldly.

"We want to live!" the White Ape Demon King spoke first.

"Please, Immortal Master, spare our lives!" The others immediately chimed in, fearing they might be even a fraction too slow.

“I originally intended to kill you all, even annihilate the demon race, but… this world has been sealed off by the Heavenly Dao. Not only us cultivators, but even you demons have no chance of ascending. I have been in seclusion for over fifty years, searching for a way to break the rules of heaven and earth and reopen the path to ascension. Now… I have some clues.”

As Ye Xianya spoke, she withdrew the power she had released.

She can pretend, but to actually kill them? That's impossible. She doesn't have the ability until her strength is restored.

The demon kings landed on the ground, their demon cores no longer trembling, and they were able to control their bodies.

They instantly felt like they had survived a catastrophe.

"If the path to ascension is not reopened, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will gradually dry up, humans will no longer be able to embark on the path of cultivation, and beasts will no longer be able to transform into demons, gain intelligence, and embark on the path of demon cultivation. This world... will gradually lose its spirituality, and there will be no more cultivators or demons."

Ye Xianya said coldly, "I spared your lives today so that I could gain some assistance when I reopen the path to ascension. If you are unwilling, then..."

"We are willing to follow the Immortal Master's instructions and help him reopen the path to ascension," the White Ape Demon King and the others hurriedly said.
