“Rumble…”

The ground trembled, as if the earth dragon had turned over. The tremors spread for dozens of miles, and even the heavens and earth seemed unstable. In the distance, a patch of darkness stained the entire void.

Endless heaven and earth spiritual energy trembled, surged, flowed, and gathered, forming ferocious demon beasts that seemed capable of swallowing the sky.

Outside of Zhennan Pass, the terrain was flat, so everyone could clearly sense the terrifying pressure sweeping toward them.

Oppression, suffocation…

The boundless demon beast army was like the waves of the East Sea, endless and without end in sight.

This was a war between two races, and the pressure alone far exceeded that of the battle in Liangzhou City.

Chen Yuan and the others looked grim. The grand formation on Zhennan Pass was instantly illuminated, with dazzling rays of light shooting straight into the sky, frantically drawing in the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual energy.

“Out of the formation!”

Chu Changfeng held his divine spear, flicked its tip, and stepped out into the void step by step, roaring in a low voice.

The gates of Zhennan Pass opened wide.

Squads of soldiers clad in black armor began to quickly and orderly march out of Zhennan Pass and form a formation outside the city.

There was already an army outside the city, but only half of it. Now, the remaining half was also sent out, leaving only 100,000 troops inside Zhennan Pass to coordinate with the grand formation and assist the 400,000 elite iron cavalry.

The boundless demon race army was like an irresistible torrent, and the 400,000 strong army directly stood as a black Great Wall, blocking the demon race army outside.

Chu Changfeng went into battle, leading the central army himself.

Zhu Huai and Monk Xuyan led the left and right armies, while the rear army was not guarded by a Yang Shen cultivator, with Yang Huatian leading and controlling 100,000 troops.

Daoist Tianxu flicked his horsetail whisk, exuding an otherworldly aura. He rose into the air with Zhao Danqing, standing on one side.

Jiang He, Chongxu, Lingxu, and Qingxu also stood in the void, forming the four symbols formation, their sword qi crisscrossing, their sharpness exposed, and endless killing intent brewing.

Su Ziyue, the Su family’s ancestor, Huang Tianshu, Shangguan Tiehong, and all the Transformation Yang True Persons under Chen Yuan’s command, totaling more than twenty, stood solemnly holding divine weapons, waiting only for Chen Yuan’s order to charge out of the grand formation.

More Dan Realm grandmasters were not qualified to fight in the void. Even the aftershocks of such battles were not something they could withstand.

They were all arranged into the battle formations.

The 400,000 iron cavalry were divided into three parts: the central army of 200,000 led by Chu Changfeng, and the remaining two divisions, each leading 100,000 troops, on the left and right flanks.

The giant Ao emerged from the earth, its terrifying form appearing before the army formation. Chen Yuan, in black and gold armor, held the Emperor Slaughtering Blade, standing in front of everyone.

The terrifying torrent of demon beasts came to a sudden halt tens of thousands of feet away from the impending collision. The demon beasts roared continuously, their eyes gleaming red.

The vast torrent was filled with a bloodthirsty aura.

Both sides stood still at this moment.

Soon, figures began to leap out of the torrent. There was a hundred-zhang Golden Roc soaring through the sky, a mountain-sized wild bull roaring incessantly, and a blue giant ape beating its chest and roaring in anger.

The Hundred Tribes of Southern Border fully displayed themselves before Chen Yuan and the others for the first time.

There were nearly twenty demon saints in the Divine Power Great Completion Realm alone, with dozens of great demons as their wings. This was part of the foundation of the Southern Border.

These were the strongmen mobilized from the Hundred Tribes.

This showed how powerful the former Chu Dynasty had been, forcibly breaking the spine of the demon race for five hundred years, forcing them to cower and lie low, never daring to look north.

“Roar!”

“Roar!”

“Moo!”

The terrifying pressure reached its true peak at this moment. Even Chen Yuan, who had seen much, had an extremely grave expression. This kind of power was more than twice his own.

If these demon races were allowed to move north, the tens of millions of people in Southern State would not be enough to satiate them.

Demon God Tianlan transformed into a human-shaped youth, stepping through the void step by step. Each step caused the heavens and earth to tremble, and endless brilliance enveloped the heavens and earth.

“You are Chen Yuan?”

Demon God Tianlan sized up Chen Yuan, his expression somewhat curious. This human race genius’s name had actually spread to the Southern Border after his victory against the Barbarians in the north and his defeat of the Barbarian God.

However, at that time, he was only a small Refining Spirit True Person, not worthy of the demon race’s attention. Later, what really made the Myriad Demon Divine Palace pay attention to this person was…

When he killed the Emperor of the Central Plains and beheaded Nangong Lie.

Even Mo Luo was wary of this person, telling him to kill this person if he had the chance, to prevent him from becoming an obstacle to the demon race’s northward advance in the future.

“And who are you?”

“Me?”

Demon God Tianlan laughed and said with his hands behind his back:

“I am Tianlan.”

“A Demon God of the Crimson Underworld Blood Tiger Clan…”

“It seems you are not ignorant of my demon race.”

“Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.”

“Hahaha, what a joke. How dare you, a mere human Yang Shen cultivator, talk about defeating me? It would be more like it if that Mo Luo next to you took action. As for you, I can destroy you with a wave of my hand!”

Tianlan was very confident.

Of course, his confidence was not without foundation. With his strength, even if he was not invincible in the Southern Border, he was definitely someone few could match. He had already reached the peak of the first level of the Demon God Realm.

As long as this battle was successful, he would be able to achieve the position of Demon Emperor, step into the second realm with the destiny of the demon race, achieve immortality, and dominate the entire Southern Border.

None of the Demon Gods in the other three great clans could compare to him.

This was also one of the reasons why he came here personally.

He had heard of Mo Luo’s strength. He had entered the Human Immortal Realm for many years and possessed extraordinary strength, but he was definitely far inferior to him and incomparable.

He even felt that if he did not need to plunder the human race to return to the Southern Border, he alone would be enough to level Zhennan Pass.

This was not five hundred years ago. The demon race and the human race had long since switched positions of attack and defense. The chaotic human race of the Central Plains would definitely not be able to stop the iron hooves of the demon race’s army.

“No one is invincible. Since I stepped into the martial path, I have encountered countless opponents, but they have all fallen into my hands in just a few short years. You will be no exception.”

Chen Yuan stood in the void, looking directly at Demon God Tianlan, his aura magnificent, causing the original Zhennan army soldiers below to look at him with reverence.

People all admired the strong.

A person who dared to face the legendary Demon God was definitely worthy of their respect.

However, Chen Yuan’s actions that caused their respect, enraged the great demons and demon saints, who all denounced Chen Yuan.

“Impudent! A small human Yang Shen dares to be disrespectful to the Demon God!”

“Audacious! I will devour you!”

“Damn humans, you don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth, daring to obstruct my demon race’s army. Today, you will all become the food of my demon race’s army.”

Tianlan raised his hand, and an invisible force permeated the heavens and earth, suppressing the voices of the demon saints and great demons. He looked at Chen Yuan with a slightly mocking gaze and said:

“Those people you encountered all gave you the opportunity to grow, but now, do you think you really have a chance to make a comeback?

I sometimes admire you humans very much. Although you are weak, you are sometimes very united and willing to risk your lives to protect some ordinary ants.

It’s a pity that this is foolish. Ants are always just ants. Chen Yuan, you dare to deploy troops at Zhennan Pass to block my demon race’s army. I admire you very much.

I am willing to give you a chance.

As long as you are willing to submit to me, I can promise you that the demon race will fully assist you in becoming the Human Emperor of the human race in the future, establishing order in the Central Plains, and ascending to the Nine-Five Throne.

Just like Nangong Lie. It’s a pity that he died a step too early, but now it is a good opportunity for you. He is dead, and his position is empty.”

“Hehehe… Hahaha… You say I’m stupid? I think you are the truly stupid one, truly worthy of being a beast transformed into a human. Don’t you think about it, if I were greedy for life and afraid of death, would I be waiting for you here?

Behind me are tens of millions of people in Southern State, hundreds of millions of people in the thirteen states of the Central Plains, the birthplace of a brilliant civilization that has been passed down for thousands of years. You are nothing more than some blood-drinking beasts, how dare you covet my Central Plains?

Today, I will tell you clearly that if you want to pass, step over my body. If you can’t step over it, in the future, when my cultivation is strong, I will definitely lead a million heavenly soldiers to invade the Southern Border and break your demon race’s spine for another five hundred years, making you forever submit and crawl at the feet of my human race.”

Chen Yuan’s impassioned words immediately stirred up the army below and the countless people within Zhennan Pass. Their goodwill and admiration for Chen Yuan soared upwards.

Regardless of what he had done before, how many people he had killed, many people felt that based on these words alone, it would be absolutely right for him to become their king and their leader.

And this, of course, was also Chen Yuan’s goal.

Otherwise, did he really think he was here out of boredom, chatting with a Demon God?

“Good, good, good, you have guts. Then I will see what your confidence is, that you dare to be so disrespectful to a Demon Saint. I will cast you into the Avici Hell!”

Demon God Tianlan’s aura instantly soared into the sky. The terrifying power was like a complete world, and the powerful force of the rules spread out from his body.

Humans mainly cultivated the Nascent Soul, cultivating the rules of heaven and earth.

The demon race mainly cultivated the physical body, cultivating their own rules, seeking to form their own world. In essence, there was no difference, both were about the control and understanding of heaven and earth.

In an instant, Chen Yuan’s physical body furnace opened, and the surging, boundless black demonic flames stained the heavens and earth. His five organs roared, and the five-colored divine light reflected upon the heavens and earth.

White-robed Mo Luo stood beside Chen Yuan, his face containing a faint smile. The powerful force of the rules quickly intertwined and collided with Demon God Tianlan’s, but in the end, it was still much weaker.

Mo Luo’s strength was very strong, and his talent was also extraordinary, but after all, he had only broken through for a short time. In addition, the rules of heaven and earth were turbid, making it difficult to comprehend them.

At this moment, at this time, the gap between him and Demon God Tianlan could be felt at a glance.

“Mo Luo?”

Demon God Tianlan’s gaze abandoned Chen Yuan at this moment, turning completely to the white-robed monk beside him. Behind him, a terrifying black tiger loomed.

It seemed to want to swallow heaven and earth.

Endless heaven and earth spiritual energy poured into his body as if pouring backwards.

“This humble monk is indeed Mo Luo, greetings, Demon God.”

Mo Luo put his palms together and nodded slightly.

“Are you seeking death?”

“I am indeed seeking death, please grant me my wish, Demon God.”

“Seeking death!”

Demon God Tianlan’s eyes narrowed, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. In an instant, two chains of rules suddenly emerged from the surrounding void, directly rushing towards Mo Luo.

There were other Demon Gods!

Mo Luo’s expression was calm, as if he had already anticipated this. He chanted a Buddhist mantra, and a hazy figure beside him directly attacked the chains of rules in the void.

This was the immortal foundation of Biyou Palace!

Tianlan seemed to recognize that hazy figure, frowning and gathering killing intent. He had indeed come alone this time, and the other Demon Gods were all sitting in the Heavenly Demon Divine Palace.

However, that didn’t mean they could stay out of it.

Tianlan was not stupid. During the discussion, it included the other Demon Gods condensing avatars with their essence blood to accompany him in the conquest of the human race.

The words he said just now, while indeed trying to win over and recruit Chen Yuan, were more to allow the Demon God’s avatars to secretly sneak into the void, preparing to attack.

At this moment, a illusory white tail suddenly probed out of the void, directly smashing towards Chen Yuan. That was the avatar that the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox clan's Demon God was about to condense.

“Get lost!”

Chen Yuan roared angrily and punched out.

A terrifying roar erupted, but Chen Yuan was directly blasted back hundreds of feet under the suppression of the power of the rules, his expression somewhat abnormally solemn.

Essence blood avatars were not like the avatars refined by human immortals. Their strength was only about one-fifth of a normal Demon God, but he did not expect that it could still bring him such terrifying pressure.

In fact, before the demon race came, Chen Yuan had discussed the matter of Demon Gods with Mo Luo, which was why he thought of asking Lu Chengfeng to take action, but after weighing it, the other party was still not suitable.

In addition, according to Mo Luo’s speculation, the Demon Gods would not all come to Zhennan Pass. Most likely, they would still be Demon God essence blood avatars. With his strength, he had a chance to deal with them.

Unexpectedly, it was still a bit short.

And that bit that was lacking was the difference in understanding the rules. To win was not easy.

“Amitabha, Benefactor Tianlan, please!”

Mo Luo was unmoved by Chen Yuan’s attack, taking a step forward, his monk’s robe fluttering, and the terrifying rule strength instantly suppressed him. Bright Buddhist light began to shine.

“Bald donkey, you all deserve to die!”

Tianlan snorted coldly and instantly greeted him. The powerful rule strengths intertwined, and the battlefield where the two fought instantly turned into a chaotic mess. Terrifying roars shook the heavens and earth.

Chen Yuan held the Emperor Slaughtering Blade and suddenly waved it forward, roaring:

“By my decree, exterminate the demons!”

“Exterminate the demons!”

“Exterminate the demons!”

“Exterminate the demons!”

“Roar! Roar! Roar!”

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Hundreds of thousands of troops instantly began to move together, their iron hooves gathering momentum. Accompanied by Chu Changfeng’s spear pointing forward, the steel torrent instantly charged forward.

On the opposite side, demon saints also returned to the demon race army formation. Accompanied by beastly roars, the two torrents all began to charge forward.
