"What's wrong? Do you think there will be any more changes? The enemy's strength is almost depleted, how could they possibly turn the tide?"
Fang Xiaoyu comforted Wan Lei.
"I don't know, but I always feel that since Qiong Ku didn't choose to fight to the death and instead chose to flee, he must have some trump card to rely on.
Without a trump card, he would still be dead. Otherwise, why would he flee? He might as well have stayed and fought us to the death."
"What trump card could they have? Summon another demon lord?"
"That's hard to say, but I don't think it'll be that soon. The first demon lord's arrival was through a passage opened by the demons with great divine power and at a great cost. The second took nearly ten years to prepare, involving array formations and positioning.
Less than a year has passed since then, so they shouldn't be that quick."
"That's not necessarily true. If they have all the array materials, and Qiong Ku definitely brought that red demon stone, coupled with him being a master of formations, summoning another demon lord would be a matter of minutes!"
"Do you think, after failing twice and losing two demon lords, they would continue to dispatch demon lords? Is it worth it for our small world to have demon lords killed one after another?"
"Uh... well, who knows? What if their demon lords aren't valuable?"
"No, if they weren't valuable, why wouldn't they just dispatch ten or a hundred demon lords at once?
Besides, even if they aren't valuable, I suspect that the cost of breaking through the planar barrier to transport a demon lord is far greater than the cost of cultivating one. Otherwise, wouldn't the demon race just mass-produce demon lords for the prime universe? Why would they even fight?
And such an undertaking would surely be risky. Otherwise, why would so many demons come in to scout before each demon lord's descent? Wouldn't it be simpler to have the demon lord descend and sweep through everything?
If they encountered danger and the demon lord was lost or killed, wouldn't that be a colossal waste of resources?
After all, this is highly risky. Especially in the Lei Feng Realm, they send a demon lord and lose one, send another and lose another. The demon race must be bewildered. Is this the graveyard of demon lords?"
"Hahahaha..."
Fang Xiaoyu's eyes curved with laughter as she looked at Wan Lei, who had been serious at first but became more smug as he spoke.
The two chatted as they flew, and soon arrived within the Liu family's territory.
The Liu family's territory was sealed by space. Without a grand formation, Wan Lei couldn't prevent everyone from escaping by taking over the formation. He also couldn't set up a formation large enough to cover an entire prefecture in a short time.
And although millions of troops seemed like a lot, they couldn't completely encircle an entire prefecture.
However, Wan Lei resigned himself to it. If some residual Liu family members escaped, so be it. As long as the demon commanders and Liu Naiweng didn't get away, the others could be hunted down later.
With his and Fang Xiaoyu's speed, these demon commanders wouldn't be able to escape even if they wanted to.
Millions of troops, including the Tribulation Crossing experts, were all watching Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu, eager to see how they would break the demon race's spatial blockade.
Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu exchanged smiles and approached the spatial blockade, placing their hands on the barrier.
Their hands passed through without obstruction.
The Wind Blade Escape technique, which ignores all formations and spatial blockades, offered true freedom and ease, allowing them to attack and retreat at will on the battlefield.
Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu silently activated the Wind Blade Escape technique. Invisible blades, soaring above spatial laws, erupted from their hands like gusts of hurricanes, tearing the spatial blockade apart layer by layer.
Fang Xiaoyu suddenly had a bold idea. These wind blades, which surpassed space, could break through spatial blockades, so they should surely be able to cleave through space itself.
And if they could cleave through space, they could probably cleave through a person too.
Wouldn't that make them incredibly powerful in combat?
As Fang Xiaoyu pondered, her eyes grew brighter.
This Wind Blade Escape technique was certainly not just a simple speed divine ability. How could a divine ability obtained after passing through six secret realms be so simple?
They were currently breaking the spatial blockade because they needed the entire army to enter. If it were just the two of them, they could have transformed into blades and entered directly.
As the spatial blockade was torn into cracks, the interior space connected with the exterior space, unleashing an unparalleled self-repair capability. Soon, the spatial blockade was completely broken.
Then, everyone was stunned.
They had initially expected the Liu family to be defended by countless troops occupying various strategic points and defensive positions, engaging them in a siege battle.
They had expected this final battle to be an all-out, exhilarating, decisive confrontation.
However, the scene before them caused everyone to gasp in disbelief.
At this moment, the sky above the Liu family was blood-red, and the ground was also blood-red. The ground was littered with ruins and broken tiles. Not a single intact place could be found in the entire Liu family.
Moreover, at regular intervals, there were huge craters, with hundreds of them throughout the Liu family's domain.
Each crater was piled high with corpses, numbering at least a million!
The entire Liu family had no living soul left!
The overwhelming stench of blood and decay made everyone feel nauseous.
"What... what happened here? Who killed all the people of the Liu family?"
Sui Xiaohang quickly flew over, arriving beside Wan Lei and looking at him in astonishment.
He assumed Wan Lei was responsible.
"Why are you looking at me? If I were to kill people, I would have burned this entire place down. How could I leave the bodies behind?"
Wan Lei glared at him, then pointed towards the Liu family.
"Look at those corpse pits. The blood essence in each pit is all flowing towards a grand formation in the north.
That is Liu Naiweng's Blood Immortal Realm!
This man has gone mad.
He actually... he actually...
He killed all the members of his own family to help him ascend to immortality!"
"How is that possible? How could he be so insane? Those were his descendants! He has brought about his own extinction!"
"Why is it impossible? They have always been maintaining the Blood Immortal Realm. After I destroyed it last time, they began to unscrupulously search for and slaughter humans to provide blood essence for the Blood Immortal Realm.
I suspect that during the previous battle at the Yin Yang Sect, they intended to collect corpses after defeating the Yin Yang Sect for Liu Naiweng's cultivation. Otherwise, why would they have a decisive battle for no reason? Couldn't they just wait for Liu Naiweng to ascend and sweep through everything?
It's just that they were defeated by us, and at their wit's end, they could only slaughter their own family members for his cultivation.
Truly insane."
Wan Lei's analysis left everyone speechless. At this moment, eight demon commanders flew out from within the Blood Immortal Realm.
