In the eyes of others, Xu Chuan’s slash was as fast as it could possibly be.
Innumerable afterimages appeared, as if countless blades were hacking simultaneously, with countless sword energies sweeping towards this Demon Emperor like a storm.
Anyone who felt this sword energy felt their hearts freeze.
“How is this possible…”
The Demon Emperor, directly facing Xu Chuan’s sword energy, felt even greater terror in his eyes.
At this moment, he finally knew Xu Chuan’s true cultivation.
Like him, he belonged to the first-tier Emperor Lord.
But the strength Xu Chuan displayed filled him with despair!
He had only seen such an aura on a third-tier Demon Emperor.
A powerful being of that level would find it easier to kill him than to kill a chicken.
And now, facing Xu Chuan, he felt precisely this way.
He was afraid, genuinely afraid.
Since stepping onto the path of cultivation, devouring his own kind, annihilating rivals, and surviving numerous life-or-death crises, he had never feared reaching the first-tier Emperor Lord.
But now, facing Xu Chuan, he truly understood what fear felt like.
He began to regret coming to Xuantian.
He had expected that as the vanguard, he would obtain supreme opportunities and could use them to break through to the second-tier Emperor Lord, or even the third-tier Emperor Lord.
He had never imagined that he would lose his life because of it.
However, Xu Chuan’s appearance plunged him into absolute despair.
He was given little time to regret.
Xu Chuan’s sword energy had arrived.
Rumble!
A heaven-shattering roar erupted outside the mountain gate of the Taiyi Holy Land.
Countless humans and demons across the Eastern Domain turned their heads to look in that direction.
They saw a visible wave of energy surge towards the heavens from the direction of the Taiyi Holy Land, as if it were about to tear the sky apart.
Such a magnificent scene made countless people sigh in awe, and countless demons tremble in fear.
“Could it be that the Taiyi Holy Land has been overrun by demons?”
This thought arose in everyone’s minds.
They all knew the immense pressure the Taiyi Holy Land was facing.
News of the emergence of Demon Emperors in the Eastern Domain had already spread far and wide.
The Taiyi Holy Land, as the first line of defense, had held out for so long against an Emperor Lord realm demon, exceeding everyone’s expectations.
As for whether the Taiyi Holy Land had defeated a Demon Emperor?
No one dared to entertain such a thought!
Because when the first Demon Emperor appeared in the Eastern Domain, the Holy Lord of Xuantian, who had come to the Eastern Domain seeking breakthroughs, had intervened.
He had engaged in a battle with that Demon Emperor.
That battle had raged amidst a darkened sky.
The Holy Lord of Xuantian, Long An, had displayed a strength far beyond his own realm in that fight.
It was outrageously powerful.
Everyone who witnessed that battle believed Long An would surely win.
But the final outcome stunned countless people.
Long An lost!
And he lost utterly and completely.
Ultimately, he only managed to escape with his life, thanks to the foundational power of the Taiyi Holy Land, and fled back to the Eastern Domain.
From then on, the Taiyi Holy Land sealed its mountain gate and remained in seclusion.
It was also from that battle that countless people witnessed the terror of an Emperor Lord realm expert.
Therefore, no one dared to imagine that the Taiyi Holy Land had defeated an Emperor Lord realm demon.
Even though Xu Chuan, the Taiyi Holy Son, and the Holy Lord, Xuan Sa, had previously displayed extraordinary strength.
But those were five Demon Emperors!
No matter how powerful they were, could they possibly fight five at once?
And at this moment.
Before the Taiyi Holy Land’s mountain gate.
The sword energy dissipated, and the winds and clouds subsided.
Everyone looked at the epicenter of this battle and gasped in unison.
The most powerful Demon Emperor had already transformed into a blood-soaked monstrosity.
A clear bloody pattern was visible on his neck.
With a gust of wind, his head slid off his body.
With a thud, his body fell forward stiffly.
Dark red blood gushed onto the ground.
This Demon Emperor had died just like that.
Under Xu Chuan’s seemingly effortless slash, he had died without any ability to resist.
His divine soul didn't even have a chance to escape.
Xu Chuan spoke with a blank expression, "Truly disappointing. What kind of bullsh*t Demon Emperor, so easily defeated."
After saying that, he turned his gaze to the remaining four Demon Emperors.
That single glance plunged them into an icy abyss.
Their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably.
Their leader was dead, and would this terrifying human now turn his attention to them?
The four of them, along with the countless demons on the ground, were left with only this thought.
On the side of the Taiyi Holy Land, cheers erupted like a surging tide.
“Holy Son, mighty!”
“Your Highness, invincible!”
All the disciples of Taiyi cheered for Xu Chuan, celebrating his might.
With the death of this Demon Emperor, a mountain weighing down on everyone in the Taiyi Holy Land had completely disappeared.
With Xu Chuan here, the Taiyi Holy Land was now invincible!
They had regained a chance to breathe!
They no longer had to worry every moment about the Holy Land being breached and them becoming demon’s blood food.
Not far away, Xue San Jian stared blankly at the scene. After a long pause, he turned to Situ Lin beside him and said, “You have indeed taken in a good disciple!”
He was filled with emotion.
Since Xu Chuan’s rise, he had already saved the Holy Land from peril multiple times.
In the entire history of Xuantian, one could not find a more monstrous prodigy than Xu Chuan!
Situ Lin was also beaming with smiles.
Xu Chuan’s power, and the cheers of the disciples below, made him feel honored!
He looked at Xu Chuan in the distance, his eyes filled with solace and pride.
With such a disciple, his life was complete!
Xu Chuan waved his hand and collected the body of this Demon Emperor.
After resolving everything before him, he intended to see if he could extract the Chaos Origin Energy from it.
If so, it would mean the Taiyi Holy Land would have several more Emperor Lord realm experts.
Thinking of this, he once again looked at the four Demon Emperors.
Cold words escaped his mouth, “Next, it’s your turn!”
“Don’t worry, I will, just like him, let you die without too much suffering.”
This was already the greatest mercy Xu Chuan could offer.
How dare they invade Xuantian, invade his Taiyi Holy Land? The demons deserved to die!
From the beginning, Xu Chuan had no intention of letting them leave.
“We can’t just sit here and wait to die! If this continues, we can only wait for death!”
After the arrogant Demon Emperor died, the cold and ruthless Demon Emperor became the leader among the four.
He looked at Xu Chuan’s murderous gaze from afar, his heart filled with fear.
But a strong desire to survive made his brain work frantically.
He wanted to find a way to survive Xu Chuan.
“He is only one person. Even if he is incredibly strong, if we join forces, we might have a glimmer of hope!”
Another Demon Emperor chimed in.
None of them wanted to die now. They had come to Xuantian with their own objectives.
None of them wanted to perish here at this moment.
“Let’s attack together! We absolutely cannot let him succeed!”
At this moment, the remaining four Demon Emperors, for the first time, reached a rare consensus.
There was no backstabbing, no mutual scheming.
All there was was the desire to live.
They united, preparing to confront Xu Chuan.
Xu Chuan also saw their intentions.
But he had no intention of stopping them.
“Ants are just ants. Even if they gather together, can they become elephants?”
