The night was as dark as ink. The Nether Leopard's eyes gleamed a faint green light in the darkness, like two cold gems. It growled in a low, icy voice, "This is the Demon-Falling Mountains, the territory of my demon clan. Don't be so arrogant. There are many powerful demons in the depths, but they simply don't bother to deal with you!" Its body was erratic, as if it could disappear into thin air at any moment, giving people an elusive feeling.
"Don't provoke the entire demon clan!" There was a hint of warning in the Nether Leopard's voice, as if trying to intimidate Yu Kai.
However, Yu Kai merely sneered and gently swung the Moon Spirit Sacred Sword in his hand. A ray of sword light streaked across the night sky like lightning, slashing out at high speed with endless murderous intent. The sword light was so fast that it seemed to tear even the air apart, making a whirring sound.
Seeing this, the Nether Leopard instantly transformed into a shadow, attempting to evade the fatal blow. Its speed was so swift that it seemed to blend into the night, but the sword's swiftness was even greater, like a judgment of fate, inescapable. In the breathless silence of everyone watching, a shrill cry pierced the night sky: "Ah!" The Nether Leopard's massive body plummeted from the void, its head rolling to the side, its eyes wide open in death. Blood stained the surrounding ground, a horrifying sight.
A dark demonic pill flew out of the Nether Leopard's corpse, hovering in the air, emitting a faint glow. Yu Kai reached out and grabbed it, walked behind the Second King, and flipped his hand over, causing the demonic pill to float beneath him. With a light press, the demonic pill sank directly into the Second King's head, and a powerful demonic force instantly rushed in. The Second King opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "This power..."
"Don't move! I'll help you refine them!" Yu Kai's voice was calm and firm. He increased his spiritual power once more, and the two peak-level demon cores within the Second Great King's body instantly shattered, transforming into streams of demonic energy that converged on the demon core in the Second Great King's mind. The once dim and weak demon core, as if infused with new life, rapidly grew and shone, like a dim pearl rekindled.
The surrounding monsters dared not breathe, their eyes filled with awe. Before long, the Second King's strength began to surge. Spiritual energy surged through his body like a tide, and a faint light shimmered around him. Early Saint King... Middle Saint King... High Saint King, Saint Emperor... Venerable... Early Venerable... High Venerable... Peak Venerable!
"Oh my god, this is such a great fortune. It's the achievement of my life in the blink of an eye!" The Second King was shaking with excitement, his eyes full of ecstasy, and his voice choked with sobs.
"With two peak-level demon pills of the Venerable Realm, he will have a rapid breakthrough later!" A demon beast whispered, with a hint of envy and awe in his voice.
"That's my brother, that's my brother. My brother has become successful now! He and I have a life-long friendship!" A bumblebee on the outermost edge, accompanied by two charming bee girls, shouted loudly to the monsters next to them, with pride on her face, as if she had also benefited from the second king's influence.
The other monsters looked unconvinced and cast suspicious glances at him.
"Why didn't I hear you shout when Wolverine attacked just now! Now that others have reached the peak of the Venerable Realm, they start to recognize each other as brothers!" A deer demon said contemptuously, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

The sky had unnoticed a momentary dawn, and a ray of morning sun appeared on the horizon, bringing a glimmer of light to the dark mountain range. Yu Kai withdrew his palm, cast a barrier around the Second King, and turned to gaze into the distance. Following his gaze, everyone saw massive warships appear on the horizon, majestic and powerful, rushing towards them in two distinct camps.
Atop the warships, a massive "Dan" (Dan) banner fluttered in the wind. Countless powerful, blue-robed elders filled the bows, each one a Great Venerable. Leading the charge was a blue-robed middle-aged man at the Heavenly Venerable realm. He held his hands behind his back, his gaze cold, like an iceberg, giving off a powerful, oppressive vibe. His gaze was like a knife, seemingly penetrating everything.
Another large banner bore the Chinese characters "Lingyun." A white-robed elder, also at the Celestial Venerable realm, led the group. Behind him, the warships were filled with white-robed elders, all also at the Great Venerable realm. Their white robes rustled in the wind, like fluttering snowflakes, creating a chilling and powerful aura.
The two sides crushed down with the force of a mountain. Powerful gusts of wind swept through like a raging wind, sending sand and rocks flying and dust billowing below. It seemed as if the entire world was shaken by this force. Countless demonic beasts fled in terror, not daring to stay. Even the Nine-Tailed Red Fox and the Thunder Bear in the inner circle fled in panic.
"What's going on? Why did these humans rush in with such fanfare? Aren't they afraid that the demon kings in the depths will take action?" Hongtian Bear asked the nine-tailed red fox flying beside him while fleeing, with a hint of doubt and uneasiness in his voice.
"How should I know what's going on?" the nine-tailed fox ran, its face filled with panic. "What's going on? Why haven't the five demon kings in the depths made any noise? This isn't their style. What's going on?"
"Don't make blind guesses. What could happen to them when they are so powerful?" Hongtian Xiong didn't believe it at all, and there was a hint of disdain in his tone.
The Nine-Tailed Red Fox thought about it and realized that they were indeed very powerful. Each of them was a peak Heavenly Venerable. Even though the Demon Emperor hadn't been out for many years, it was impossible for him to be in trouble. Thinking of this, its heart calmed down a little, but it still didn't dare to stop.

The two massive armies came to a screeching halt mid-air. A powerful gust of wind blew like a raging gale, sending sand and rocks flying and dust billowing below, as if the entire world was shaken by this convulsive force. The troops on both sides glared at each other with murderous intent, while the two powerful Celestial Lords stood atop their warships, their momentum like two surging torrents, colliding with each other, as if a shattering battle would erupt at any moment.
After the final shock, both sides took a step back, glared at each other, and then turned their gazes to Yu Kai and Xuan Er. When they saw Yu Kai, they both frowned at the same time.
"Tianzun realm, this young man is actually a Tianzun realm expert? Was he sent by the Four Emperors of Vastness to guide me?" A hint of doubt flashed in the eyes of Tang Pingcheng, the ancestor of Danxiao Sect, and he thought secretly in his heart.
"Is this the person sent by His Majesty to support me? When did such a person appear in our Shengying Dynasty?" The ancestor of Lingyun Sect, Zhong Xitian, also looked confused and stared at Yu Kai closely.
"May I know your name, young man?" Tang Pingcheng suppressed his doubts and asked politely with a hint of tentativeness in his voice.
"Yu Kai." Yu Kai answered calmly, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes. He could feel the aura of these two Heavenly Lords, and they were definitely not easy to deal with.
