  Receiving the All-Heaven Star Sword Array and its 3,600 Star Swords as rewards for the final sign-in in this demon’s den sure was a pleasant surprise.

  Lin Jiufeng expected the reward to be huge, but he didn’t expect it to be this extravagant.

  The number of Star Swords he received meant that each demon had contributed at least a single Star Sword.

  To Lin Jiufeng, another technique in his arsenal meant his strength had increased yet again.

  The space inside the sword case was huge. He had no problems at all after storing so many star swords inside of it. It was just that the sword case had noticeably become heavier.

  Putting the sword case back into his body, Lin Jiufeng looked at the time.

  There was still some time before dawn.

  He didn’t seal the demon’s den.

  Instead, he walked out of the underground palace and came to the cherry tree.

  The moonlight tonight was bright and beautiful.

  The night breeze was cool and it carried with it the fragrance of the cherry trees.

  Meow!

  The white cat jumped onto Lin Jiufeng’s shoulder and called out softly.

  Her large tail wrapped around Lin Jiufeng’s shoulder. “Are you going to set them free tonight?”

  Lin Jiufeng nodded. “Yes.”

  The white cat thought for a while and added. “This world is going to become chaotic.”

  “It won’t be chaotic…”

  “With me here, the world won’t change at all. How could it become chaotic then?”

  Lin Jiufeng smiled and casually replied.

  He was confident that even after he released the demons in the demon’s den beneath the Cold Palace—the world would still be the same as before.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  Lin Jiufeng tapped the ground with the tips of his toes and announced.

  “It’s almost midnight. You guys can come out now.”

  These words were transmitted into the demon’s den.

  The demons widened their eyes in excitement.

  They stopped discussing Lin Jiufeng’s breakthrough into the Supremacy Realm.

  They looked at the entrance that was no longer sealed.

  Their bodies trembled in agitation.

  A demon covered his face and cried in excitement. “It’s been ten years! Counting the time we spent sealing ourselves, it’s already been thousands of years since we’ve come up to the surface…”

  “Our lives have been really difficult. We were once powerful demons, but a mere human suppressed us on his own for ten years.”

  “I’m going out, I can finally go out.”

  “Say hello to this demon, your Lord, brand-new world!”

  The demons were excited, some cried, and others expressed their excitement through fierce and emotional howls.

  They all had different expressions on their faces.

  But without exception, their emotions eventually turned into excitement.

  Boundless excitement.

  Boom!

  At this moment, a demon directly rushed out of the demon’s den and flew into the sky.

  He carried with him his surging demonic aura that shook the Imperial Capital.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  The demonic aura around him was vast and heavy. It was extremely terrifying, to say the least. It filled the air and covered more than half of the sky above the Imperial Capital.

  Beneath the moonlight, everyone in the Imperial Capital saw a gargantuan bat covered in that same malevolent demonic aura.

  King Black Bat!

  He was the first demon to rush out of the demon’s den.

  He flapped his wings excitedly and absorbed a huge amount of spiritual energy in the air.

  “Hahaha, this is the spiritual energy of the new era. It’s indeed delicious and delightful! As expected of the era that we’ve waited for thousands of years.” King Black Bat trembled in excitement.

  He frantically absorbed the spiritual energy in the air into his stomach.

  His aura instantly skyrocketed as he immediately entered the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

  King Black Bat’s cackling reverberated between heaven and the earth, forcing the Imperial Capital to tremble in fear. Countless people raised their heads and looked at him as he was being covered by his boundless demonic aura.

  They covered their mouths in shock.

  Since when was there such a terrifying demon in the Imperial Capital?

  The look on De Ming’s face, who was still exploring the Imperial Capital, immediately changed.

  He frowned and wondered. ‘Is he a demon from that demon’s den?’

  “They’ve actually appeared?” De Ming was regretful.

  Why couldn’t he find them in advance?

  This way, he would know where they were and he would also be able to find that war machine of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect.

  It wasn’t just De Ming…

  The demonic cultivators who had just entered the Imperial Capital also had a drastic change in their expressions at this moment.

  But soon after, they were pleasantly surprised.

  The demons in that demon’s den didn’t need their help to be rescued anymore.

  For they have already broken through the seal and emerged into the world on their own.

  “We should pay a visit to this demonic cultivator senior.” Someone suggested.

  The others agreed.

  “Wait, he’s not the only senior that got out of the seal!” Someone observed carefully.

  His expression changed and he stopped his comrades from approaching King Black Bat.

  Boom!

  As his words fell, the demonic aura in the air stirred.

  A second demon rushed out.

  His aura wasn’t any weaker than King Black Bat’s.

  Following that was the third, fourth, fifth…

  The appearance of one demon after another shocked everyone in the Imperial Capital.

  The commotion was so great that it couldn’t be concealed at all.

  The surging demonic energy spread for thousands of miles.

  It continued to expand, obscuring the moonlight.

  The world itself seemed to have become a world filled with nothing but demonic energy. The surroundings were plunged into darkness as the demonic energy itself covered every light source in the area. The common people in the Imperial Capital started to tremble in fear.

  Even the experts of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect observed the situation with serious looks on their faces.

  Sect Leader Luo Yu looked into the distance and said solemnly, “The seal of that demon’s den has been lifted. Thousands of demons from the previous era are about to emerge into this world. The situation’s changing fast and drastically…”

  “Will the guardian deity of the Yuhua God Dynasty be able to protect the Imperial Capital from these demons tonight?” The old Daoist priest asked.

  “It’s impossible. Who can possibly do such a thing? They are demons that are already in the Grotto-Heaven Realm! The Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty will surely be destroyed tonight, and the Yuhua God Dynasty will scatter into pieces…”

  “The world is about to go through a radical change, and the demonic sects will become tremendously more powerful than every other sect out there,” Sect Master Luo Yu replied with an ugly look.

  For him, the Yuhua God Dynasty was already his own dinner to eat.

  But all of a sudden, a hungry wolf came by and took a piece of his own dinner. However, instead of eating that dinner, it threw it away, turning it into waste.

  How could Sect Leader Luo Yu possibly maintain his composure in such a situation?

  “I had no idea that the demon’s den in that Land of Extreme Negative Energy would open so soon, releasing these demons this early into this era. The Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty will not live to see the dawn. It will be a wasteland by tomorrow morning.”

  Sect Leader Luo Yu declared as he let out a long sigh.

  The people of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect also believed in his prediction.

  The demons that were still increasing in number as time went on was a solid enough evidence to support Sect Leader Luo Yu’s claims. Even as he spoke, the number of demons in the air above the Imperial Capital had already increased to 500.

  The surging demonic aura had already spread for 10,000 miles, but it was still expanding.

  It was about to reach the Wei River.

  Demon King Pingtian walked out of the water.

  He stood at the edge of the dragon’s tomb and looked at the surging demonic energy in the distance.

  “He really kept his word… He actually released the others…”

  Demon King Pingtian felt that it was right for him to admire Lin Jiufeng’s guts.

  “He’s truly bold. Does he really think that he can suppress them on his own?”

  Demon King Jiao sneered.

  “It doesn’t matter…”

  Demon King Pingtian replied rather solemnly, “At least for now, whenever the other demons cross paths with him, they will act like mice that have stumbled upon a cat. They are bound to be unable to fight back against him at all.”

  Demon King Jiao was rendered speechless hearing his words.

  …

  In the Forbidden City, both Emperor De and Princess Yulin were astounded to see so many demons in the skies of the Imperial Capital. They immediately wanted to ask for Lin Jiufeng’s help.

  But when they recalled that Lin Jiufeng had just refused to meet with them not long ago, they no longer had the confidence to go and find him.

  In the Forbidden City, they were helpless as they watched the unfolding scene.

  They couldn’t do anything.

  In front of more than 3,000 demons, no amount of strength mattered.

  It was better to see what the demons were about to do next than do anything to them.

  When the current Empress Dowager saw this scene, she immediately left the palace to look for Lin Jiufeng.

  The trump card that Emperor Ming left for her would certainly be useful at this moment.

  But in the Cold Palace, the Empress Dowager only received a single sentence in response to her pleas.

  “Go back, there’s no need to worry. Those demons are bound to leave.”

  Emperor Dowager believed Lin Jiufeng’s words from the bottom of her heart.

  She turned around and returned to the palace.

  She got someone to send a message to Emperor De and Princess Yulin—telling them not to worry—that the demons were bound to leave.

  However, neither Emperor De nor Princess Yulin believed her words.
