Qi Xiangyun swiftly announced the news of the migration, which caused an uproar among the people of Qi Family Town. With the alien demons causing chaos, many preferred the stability of their current location over undertaking any migration.
Moreover, the destination this ti was in Dusk Territory, a journey far and arduous. What if sothing unexpected happened?
Many people were worried about this.
However, Qi Xiangyun was resolute in carrying out the migration. Although Qi Family Town was once her ho, migration was necessary for its growth. The human race was too sparsely populated in this world.
Many future developnts would revolve around Dusk Territory. The distance from here to Dusk Territory was too great; it was not an issue when the population was flourishing, but now things were different.
Hell’s Well.
Zheng Yichen looked around at the desolate environnt, which was becoming as barren as Hell itself; under the influence of less than a month, the situation had beco this severe, even with the Formation’s barrier. Without it, Qi Family Town would have already encountered nurous problems.
Yi Nan, examining the Compass placed above Hell’s Well, said, "During this ti, the Supre Demon has surreptitiously interfered no less than ten tis, but the Compass always provided tily warnings."
"We won’t be needing it anymore, take it down."
Yi Nan nodded in agreent; removing the device was not his responsibility. Zheng Yichen approached, used his fishing rod to extinguish the Hellfire, and withdrew the Key of Hell that was planted in the ground. The protection surrounding Qi Family Town disappeared imdiately.
So of the Supre Demons who were monitoring Qi Family Town were taken aback.
In the ti since Zheng Yichen had left, they had attempted to strike at Qi Family Town many tis, but each attempt ended in failure without exception.
The power of the Compass was a significant deterrent to them; while it could not kill them outright, it was effective for protection. With it, the Supre Demons lacked a feasible thod to penetrate their defenses, as any infiltration would be detected by the Compass.
Now that Zheng Yichen had returned and dismantled the town’s defenses... was there an opening for manipulation?
The migration of Qi Family Town encountered even greater resistance.
"Brother Chang Qing, should we kill them?" Liu Hongzhao eyed so of the assembly that was protesting, her eyes narrowing slightly. Such occurrences were unheard of before; they only erged after the protective barrier generated by the Compass disappeared.
She was extrely sensitive to the Supre Demon’s power and perceived so bewitching power belonging to them, especially in the leaders of the protesters. Perhaps those individuals were not even aware they were being beguiled by the power of the Supre Demon, thinking they were doing sothing justified and noble.
In dealing with these people, Liu Hongzhao found it hard to be sympathetic, even though they seed to be victims as well.
"Don’t be so agitated; after a while, they won’t be able to stir up trouble," Zheng Yichen soothed, stroking Liu Hongzhao’s long hair gently. The girl uttered a barely perceptible hum in agreent, inching closer to Zheng Yichen.
The resistance in Qi Family Town was strong, but it was just noise; the necessary preparations never ceased. Everything that could be taken from Qi Family Town was packed up and ready for transport; that which couldn’t be moved was left behind.
chanical Techniques proved extrely convenient for transport. There had previously been plans for a migration from Qi Family Town, but resistance had caused a failure, leading to the town’s eventual destruction at the hands of the Asura Demon.
Though history wouldn’t repeat itself, Qi Xiangyun did not want to change her plans due to these obstacles, as it had happened before.
The initial migration plans for Qi Family Town were halted, but so preparations were preserved. Qi Xiangyun now picked up where they left off, ensuring that, if not everything, then at least the most important things would be taken.
The items that couldn’t be taken were mostly furnaces and the like.
"Xiangyun, continue with the migration preparations. I’m going to Hell," Zheng Yichen declared, withdrawing his fishing rod and making a swipe through the air next to him.
With the Compass, finding the Supre Demon in Hell was not difficult. By the ti the demons realized sothing was amiss, Zheng Yichen had already located them. Instead of fleeing, the two allied Supre Demons attacked him outright.
As soon as the battle comnced, Zheng Yichen sensed sothing was off; these two Supre Demons were too powerful.
"What have you done?" he asked incredulously after fending off an attack from one of the Supre Demons.
The Supre Demon pressing Zheng Yichen snarled without explanation, only intensifying its assault, its counterpart harmoniously joining the attack in an attempt to completely obliterate Zheng Yichen. However, as the battle progressed, they too realized sothing was amiss.
It seed they had the upper hand, but they were still missing sothing in every clash.
The two Supre Demons exchanged glances and imdiately decided to escape; the situation felt wrong. They had paid a significant ’price’ to return to their pri while Zheng Yichen was away.
And the cost of such power struggles was a sharp decrease in the number of Supre Demons, with victors regaining their full glory and losers entering the cycle of reincarnation.
So Supre Demons tried to find anomalies and abandon their identity to leave this world, but there were very few who succeeded.
Not all Supre Demons wanted to leave; those who intended to abandon their Supre Demon status beca their primary targets.
"Think of leaving now? Too late!" Zheng Yichen’s surrounding space slightly distorted, and within that distortion, his speed suddenly increased. The Army Decimating battle saber cleaved through a Supre Demon’s defense, and the black spear pierced through it.
A gust of wind, carrying spatial distortion, tore the Supre Demon’s body apart from the inside, a large amount of Supre Demon Blood was drawn out, and the Power of Death firmly bound the Supre Demon’s Soul. Zheng Yichen released the black spear in his hand, intercepting another panic-stricken Supre Demon trying to flee.
"Damn it... If you would be a Supre Demon, we would hold you in high regard. Why must you oppose us!!"
The Supre Demon that Zheng Yichen had intercepted questioned him unwillingly. It glanced at its kin, nailed to the ground by the black spear; the Power of Death kept that Supre Demon’s soul from breaking free and was rapidly weakening it.
"Because I am human."
The trapped Supre Demon roared and revealed its true form, which was a huge... porcupine? It seed to be a creature similar to a pig.
In this world, it wasn’t that Supre Demons resembled certain animals but rather that those animals resembled Supre Demons. As for other worlds, that’s another story; but in this one, that’s the sequence of events.
Nurous arrows shot towards Zheng Yichen. Each arrow that hit the ground caused a violent explosion. The arrows headed toward him were sliced in two directly by the Army Decimating battle saber.
A bloody saber light struck the Supre Demon on the head, the heavily injured Supre Demon crazily released all its spikes. The spikes flew around Zheng Yichen, ford into a sphere, and then exploded. Countless fine spikes engulfed Zheng Yichen.
A shield made of light ford a protective barrier around him, the fine spikes clinked upon contact with the light shield. After shattering, the spikes broke down into even finer shards that fluttered in the air but did not completely disappear.
A gust of wind arose, sweeping up all the broken spikes. Zheng Yichen glanced at the fine spikes inside the sphere of wind; those things, now as soft as hair, could be inhaled with a single breath...
A malicious attack.
The shape of the light shield around him transford, evolving into a more lethal Black Light. Zheng Yichen did not frequently use his Light-type abilities, not because they were weak, but because he was a warrior for most of the ti.
Activating Burst Mode and hamring the enemy was enough, but now that he had ample advantage in battle, using other powers for a change was also feasible.
Moreover, after cutting down the Arriver that descended upon Ming Yue, his Light-type abilities had undergone a new change: the light he emitted could materialize. Materialized light could accumulate more power instead of exploding when exceeding the control limit, as it used to.
The materialized light could withstand limits tenfold what they once were and could be further enhanced once he beca more familiar with this power.
The black materialized Light Blade connected to the Army Decimating battle saber beca an extension of the cutting force field, a more efficient thod than the inner strength-derived Light Blades.
The bald Supre Demon roared as its body was bisected by the black light blade. As it was about to die, the Supre Demon revealed a triumphant look, knowing it wouldn’t truly die. Since Zheng Yichen had used the black spear on another Supre Demon, it couldn’t restrict its soul.
As long as the Supre Demon’s Soul could escape or enter the cycle of reincarnation, it would unhesitatingly choose to seek an anomaly and completely leave this world!!
This being, not a Supre Demon but stronger than one, was no longer sothing they could provoke.
During the battle with Zheng Yichen, it had already used all its power. Although it was not flashy, the use of power had reached its pinnacle. Unable to overpower Zheng Yichen, what was the point?
It was ti to run away...
"Hm!?" The porcupine-like Supre Demon’s eyes widened; it saw a cat filled with a curse aura pounce over, clamping onto its Supre Demon’s Soul. The pain caused the Supre Demon to scream, it wanted to flee but couldn’t escape the black cat’s claws.
"As expected..." Zheng Yichen nodded in understanding as he looked at the trapped Supre Demon’s Soul. Although the Supre Demon’s Souls were inherently immortal, when Zheng Yichen had previously dealt with one, he made a novel discovery.
The main reason the fishing rod could kill a Supre Demon’s Soul wasn’t just because the weapon was enhanced with a branch from the Tree of Death, but more importantly, it was strengthened with the Sky Pillar’s power!
Equipnt enhanced with Sky Pillar’s power allowed him to strike beings in the Unity of Heaven and Man. Supre Demons could also be considered as passively protected by the world, or rather, their very existence was closely related to the world, in a special kind of passive ’Unity of Heaven and Man’.
However, this unity was passive and only covered immortality, and their ability to harness power seed quite average.
A weapon that could strike the Unity of Heaven and Man was a threat to Supre Demons. The cat spirit cloak was also enhanced with energy from the Dusk Territory; now, the cat spirit could directly threaten the soul of a Supre Demon, devouring it whole.
