Chapter 339: Conquering All Directions
The battle between the Extreme Demon Domain and the Black Tiger Demon Domain lasted for three full days, with countless beings from the demon realm perishing in the conflict. The intensity of this war was unprecedented in a century for this region, especially the clash between the two Demon Emperors, which caused the ground to crack. Even the Black Tiger City, protected by an Ancient formation, suffered significant collapse, with numerous powerful demons within the city affected and dying from the terrifying energy aftermath.
With the conclusion of this great battle, the Black Tiger Demon Domain was officially removed from the vast lands of the western demon realm, replaced by a more powerful domain known as the Black Shaman Domain. Clad in black robes and exuding a Killing Intent, Sun Zhe earned the widely recognized title of Black Fiend Demon Emperor!
Few Demon Emperors in the demon realm receive such acknowledged titles, accounting for only about ten to twelve percent of all Demon Emperors.
Having eradicated the immensely powerful Black Tiger Demon Domain and slain the veteran powerhouse Black Tiger Demon Emperor, Sun Zhe, as the Black Fiend Demon Emperor, became an unparalleled figure within hundreds of thousands of miles. The surrounding demon domains were filled with fear, and many even formed alliances to resist the increasingly powerful Black Shaman Domain.
However, as Sun Zhe's fame grew, countless strong beings from nearby also felt compelled to join under Sun Zhe's banner. In just three months, Sun Zhe's ranks swelled to three hundred Demon Lords, and his army surged to three million strong, surpassing even that of the former Black Tiger Demon Domain.
All these matters were entrusted to Jingjing, assisted by Barbarian Bull Demon Lord and Linghuo Yaozun. As for Sun Zhe himself, he focused on his cultivation.
With the end of the last battle, Black Tiger City was completely rendered useless. The once luxurious mega-city had turned into a ruin filled with broken walls and debris in an instant. Moreover, countless vengeful spirits of those who died in battle wandered through these ruins. The death toll of hundreds of thousands created an overwhelming Killing Intent in this area; even ordinary Demon Lords dared not enter here, as if it were a forbidden zone within the Black Shaman Domain.
Soaked in countless lives' blood, the entire land was suffused with an eerie purple-black hue. A gray Killing Intent roamed through the Void like waves of spatial storms. At the very center of this storm sat a Black-Haired Young Man in quiet meditation—this young man was none other than Sun Zhe, the supreme ruler of the Black Shaman Domain.
Dressed in a simple black robe, he sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes slightly closed. Surrounding him was a terrifying storm of Killing Intent. Strangely enough, Sun Zhe was not troubled by this Killing Intent; instead, he gradually absorbed it into his body.
The suction grew stronger and formed a tornado-like vortex of Killing Intent that spiraled into him. The black sword representing slaughter emerged rapidly above his forehead, spinning rapidly while devouring the frightening Killing Intent at an astonishing pace. Its brilliance intensified, emanating an increasingly terrifying aura.
As time passed unnoticed in cultivation—one year slipped by in an instant. After a year had gone by, Sun Zhe finally opened his tightly shut eyes once more.
"Indeed, absorbing the essence of Killing Intent to enhance my mastery over Slaughter Law is effective; it is much faster than directly consuming Law power."
With Sun Zhe's current level, devouring the Law power of a Saint-Level Expert is no longer effective; only the Law power of a Supreme Combat Body would have any effect. However, there are only so many Supreme Combat Bodies in the entire demon realm, each having been cultivated over countless years, making them not so easy to kill. Moreover, after devouring one, he could only absorb a small portion of its power, making it impossible to quickly enhance his Law power.
"Well then, since I have rested enough, let's begin the second campaign. Perhaps after a few more like this, I will not be far from the mid-stage of the Divine Realm!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Zhe waved his right hand, performing the Space Rift Technique. He stepped into the air and left this region. Although the Killing Intent was still surging here, the essence of the true Killing Intent had already been completely absorbed by Sun Zhe, leaving mostly just some brutal ferocity.
………………
In the palace of Black Death City, a black ripple instantly spread out, with countless spatial ripples rolling outward. The space cracked open, and then a young man in a black robe appeared above the hall. In an instant, a terrifying murderous aura enveloped the entire hall, causing the temperature in the vast space to drop several degrees.
"Greetings, Lord Demon Emperor!"
Upon seeing the appearance of this black-robed man, over three hundred Holy Level Demon Lords standing below in the hall showed excited expressions. The battle against the Black Tiger Demon Domain a year ago had completely won their loyalty; if they could slay even the Black Tiger Demon Emperor, how could such a powerful figure not be worthy of their following?
"Sun Zhe brother!" Seeing Sun Zhe approach, Jingjing also went up to greet him.
Compared to before, Jingjing's aura had thickened significantly and had fully reached the late stage of Holy Rank. Clearly, as the most direct leader of the Black Shaman Domain, he had gained substantial benefits. With assistance from a massive amount of pure spiritual medicine, it was no surprise that his cultivation had grown so much.
With his current cultivation level and the abilities granted by the Vermilion Bird Clan's Monster, he was now truly capable of contending with strong figures at the Initial Stage of Divine Realm. Aside from Sun Zhe, he could be considered the strongest in the Black Shaman Domain, and no one had any objections to him leading everyone.
"Your cultivation has improved well!"
With Sun Zhe's strength, he naturally saw through Jingjing's true cultivation at a glance. He nodded slightly and praised him.
"Hehe, I'm still far behind you, Sun Zhe brother!"
Jingjing touched her head and smiled as she replied. She knew that Sun Zhe's strength was not as simple as it appeared. Back in the days when he was at the Saint Level Pinnacle, he could easily crush strong opponents at the Initial Stage of Divine Realm. Now that both of his clones had reached the Divine Realm, they would likely be even more terrifying. All along, Sun Zhe had been fighting with his Killing Clone, and she believed that the strength of his Thunder Clone would be even greater. Among everyone present, only she truly understood Sun Zhe's hidden cards.
However, Jingjing's demeanor surprised the more than three hundred Demon Lords below. In their impression, Zhuque was a symbol of pride, but the Vermilion Bird Clan's Monster Affinity indeed gave him such qualifications. They had never seen such a humble attitude before.
Stepping to the center of the main hall, Sun Zhe raised his gaze and scanned the many strong figures below. Under Sun Zhe's gaze, those Demon Lords showed serious expressions.
“Linghuo, how have you completed the tasks I assigned you?” Sun Zhe asked lightly as he looked at the increasingly charming Glamorous woman below.
Faced with Sun Zhe's question, Linghuo Yaozun naturally did not dare to hesitate. Although she had recently reached the Holy Rank limit, in front of this Demon Emperor, she still felt as insignificant as an ant. The feeling that everyone below Divine Realm was merely an ant grew stronger.
“Reporting to you, Demon Emperor, after Linghuo's inquiries, there are indications from nearby that the Golden Mouse Demon Emperor, Ghost Month Demon Emperor, and Giant Spirit Demon Emperor are willing to cooperate with you.”
“How strong are they?”
Sun Zhe frowned slightly upon hearing that there were only three Demon Emperors. Although there were relatively few Supreme Combat Bodies in the western region of the demon realm, there were still over a thousand; four mere Demon Emperors could hardly stir up much trouble.
“The Ghost Month Demon Emperor and Giant Spirit Demon Emperor likely possess peak Initial Stage of Divine Realm strength, while the Golden Mouse Demon Emperor has already reached mid-Divine Realm. However, there is also a possibility that they are hiding their true strength,” Linghuo Yaozun said without hesitation as she revealed her findings.
“And what else… do they not believe in my strength?” Sun Zhe's gaze turned cold as he spoke.
“No, since you can slay even the mid-Divine Realm Black Tiger Demon Emperor, they naturally do not doubt your strength. What Linghuo means is that several other Demon Emperors are not without interest in this matter; they just want to see our Black Shaman Domain's strength first. After all, our rise in the demon realm has not been long. If we can demonstrate corresponding strength, they will surely be willing to join our ranks,” Linghuo Yaozun said with a slight smile, speaking confidently.
“Hmph, a bunch of old foxes. Very well then, Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord,” Sun Zhe called out a name of one of the Demon Lords while placing his hands behind his back.
“Your subordinate is here!”
A figure clad in green-scaled armor, known as the Purple-Eyed Man, stepped forward. He was invited by Jingjing and was originally the Crimson Blood Dragon, a descendant of Ancient Exotic Beasts. His strength ranked among the top tier of over three hundred Demon Lords and was highly valued by Sun Zhe.
"You will cooperate with fifty Demon Lords and lead five hundred thousand troops as the vanguard to attack the Black Ape Demon Domain!"
"Yes!" The Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord's eyes flashed with excitement as he immediately responded loudly.
"Barbarian Bull Demon Lord!"
"At your command!" The armored Barbarian Bull Demon Lord stepped forward, taking a deep breath to steady himself. His strength ranked just below Jingjing among the many Demon Lords and he was considered a general of the Black Shaman Domain.
"You will lead one hundred Demon Lords and command five hundred thousand troops to cross the Gua River, attacking the Black Ape Demon Domain from the east!" Sun Zhe calmly ordered.
"Yes!" The Barbarian Bull Demon Lord accepted the order without hesitation.
"The rest will follow me for a frontal assault on the Black Ape Demon Domain. I want to see what audacity that black ape has to dare ally against my Black Shaman Domain!"
With a wave of his hand, Sun Zhe left no defensive forces behind. In his mind, he did not regard the current Black Shaman Domain as his territory; he aimed for the entire western region of the demon realm. This battle was merely a beginning; he intended to sweep through the vast west and even extend throughout the entire demon realm!
