Chapter 336: Entering Extreme City
In front of everyone's eyes, Sun Zhe killed the Extreme Demon Emperor with a single strike, even devouring and assimilating the Law that the Extreme Demon Emperor had painstakingly comprehended. Although he could absorb only a small amount, it was still much faster than if Sun Zhe had slowly cultivated and understood it himself. Given his current realm, the Law of a Saint-Level Expert would have little effect even if absorbed.
Due to Sun Zhe's decisive action, the anticipated battle involving hundreds of thousands did not erupt. The two armies stood facing each other, staring blankly, and even the dozens of Holy Level Demon Lords who had followed the Extreme Demon Emperor were momentarily at a loss for what to do.
It wasn't that they didn't want to avenge the Extreme Demon Emperor, but facing a lofty Demon Emperor, they knew that even the Extreme Demon Emperor was no match for him in a single encounter. Their efforts would be futile; at most, they would just add a few more souls to the opponent's tally. They could only watch helplessly as their leader's Law power was consumed.
Among the hundreds of thousands on the battlefield, the only one qualified to speak was the Black-Haired Young Man in the void who was quietly absorbing the Law.
As everyone grew increasingly impatient, those pitch-black eyes finally slowly opened. The Black Sword on his forehead emerged, and two terrifying beams of light suddenly burst forth from his eyes, like ancient weapons imbued with overwhelming Killing Intent. The entire area darkened as this endless gray Killing Intent enveloped it, combined with an awe-inspiring demonic aura that caused hundreds of thousands of demon realm experts to involuntarily lower their heads.
For so many heads to bow simultaneously required not only astonishing strength but also an unmatched aura—something that even the Extreme Demon Emperor could not achieve!
“Submit, or die!”
With a step into the void, Sun Zhe appeared before countless experts of Extreme City. His cold voice poured forth like a storm, instantly flooding into the hearts and souls of these powerful beings. The tone carried an overwhelming authority, reminiscent of the astonishing strike he had just executed.
“We are willing to Submit, my lord!”
The dozens of Holy Level Demon Lords exchanged glances and simultaneously knelt down. In the demon realm, strength commanded respect; thus, submitting to such a powerful being was not seen as disgraceful. As for loyalty, most of them had only recently followed the Extreme Demon Emperor, so there was little talk of true allegiance.
“We are willing to Submit, my lord!”
Under Sun Zhe's gaze, following the lead of those dozen Holy Level Demon Lords, the two hundred thousand troops that had just rushed out from Extreme City immediately echoed in response. The two hundred thousand soldiers, along with eighty thousand troops originally belonging to Vermilion Bird City, all knelt down together and shouted loudly. In an instant, their voices merged into a sea of sound that engulfed all of Extreme City.
Standing in the distance, Jingjing stared blankly at everything that had suddenly happened before him. He felt as if his brain couldn't keep up; was the battle really over? It seemed he hadn't even made a move yet, but looking at the current situation, it appeared he wouldn't need to.
"From this day forth, you shall be the master of Extreme City!"
Recalling what his brother Sun Zhe had just said, Jingjing never expected those words to become reality so quickly. Just a month ago, he had been forced by the Extreme Demon Emperor, yet now he had become the master of Extreme City. The change was so drastic that it was hard for him to believe.
Looking at the Arrogant figure of Ling Kong standing tall, a smile appeared on his lips. With a flicker of his figure, he dashed forward.
………………
Inside the Extreme City Great Hall
The position that originally belonged to the Extreme Demon Emperor had been unceremoniously taken over by Sun Zhe. Below in the hall stood dozens of formidable Demon Lords respectfully. As for Jingjing, he was off to subdue the army that originally belonged to Extreme City. While peak combat power was crucial, having control over an army was equally important. At the very least, matters like occupying territory and gathering cultivation resources relied heavily on the army under his command.
"Greetings, Lord Demon Emperor!"
Seeing the black-haired youth seated at the top of the hall and sensing the overwhelming Killing Intent that enveloped the entire space, the dozens of differently dressed Holy Level Demon Lords couldn't help but shudder and immediately shouted in unison.
"Mm."
Looking down at everyone, Sun Zhe nodded slightly. After hearing Jingjing's account, he understood that the demon realm was different from the Nine Continents, where strength was paramount. Therefore, he had no objections to these surrendered Demon Lords. He didn't expect them to be wholeheartedly loyal to him right away; loyalty wasn't something that could be easily obtained or was particularly valuable.
In fact, Sun Zhe didn't plan on gaining these Demon Lords' complete loyalty at all. He only needed to maintain enough strength to keep them in check and prevent them from rebelling. This "loyalty" would naturally belong to him. With this thought in mind, Sun Zhe's gaze flickered slightly.
"How much strength does the Extreme Demon Emperor's subordinate actually possess? Can someone explain this to me?" Sun Zhe said, looking down at the many Demon Lords below.
"Uh..." Upon hearing Sun Zhe's question, the crowd below was somewhat taken aback. Could it be that this Demon Emperor had come to challenge without even understanding the situation regarding the Extreme Demon Emperor? However, considering the terrifying strength of this Demon Emperor, they quickly reassured themselves. Such formidable power indeed did not require probing into the circumstances of the Extreme Demon Emperor.
Perhaps this Demon Emperor hailed from the vast Central Domain of the demon realm, where countless strong beings could emerge. The crowd couldn't help but think this way; their own region was merely located in the far west of the continent, a desolate land compared to the Central Domain. It was precisely for this reason that the Extreme Demon Emperor could dominate such a vast area alone.
At that moment, a Demon Lord standing on the left stepped forward. This Demon Lord was a black-haired woman with an enchanting and seductive appearance, her ample bosom and curvaceous figure captivating. Her alluring eyes sparkled with a strong charm, and she exuded a languid aura. However, her strength was also remarkable, having reached the peak of Holy Rank, which justified her position at the forefront on the left.
"Subordinate Linghuo Yaozun greets you, Demon Emperor." Her soft voice echoed in the hall, causing everyone present to tremble slightly and look at Linghuo Yaozun with a hint of fervor.
"!" Sun Zhe frowned, a trace of impatience flashing in his eyes as he coldly uttered a single word.
Sensing that icy Killing Intent, Linghuo Yaozun couldn't help but shiver slightly. The seductive aura she had just emitted immediately retracted, and she understood that this Demon Emperor was likely different from the Extreme Demon Emperor. The tactics she used with the Extreme Demon Emperor might not work here.
"Yes, the Extreme Demon Emperor has dominated this area for hundreds of years. He controls a total of forty-three major cities and has one hundred and forty-three Demon Lords serving him, with an army exceeding two million." Seeing Sun Zhe's demeanor, Linghuo Yaozun dared not make any further moves and immediately responded respectfully.
"Forty-three major cities..."
In the demon realm, the strength of subordinates is often calculated based on the number of major cities they control. As for how many towns and villages lie beneath these major cities, it is unnecessary to consider because top-tier demon realm powerhouses generally gather in major cities. For someone at the Initial Stage of Divine Realm, being able to control so many major cities is already quite impressive.
Regarding an army of two million for forty-three major cities, it is not particularly large. This two-million-strong army is certainly not composed of top-tier experts like those who fought in the war between the Nine Continents and the demon race; here, at least some are ordinary demons. Of course, such an army is still significantly stronger than an average human army.
However, those one hundred and forty-three Demon Lords...
"Where are the other Demon Lords? Did they all escape right under my eyes?"
Sun Zhe raised his gaze, his voice turning cold, filled with Killing Intent as he fixed his stare on Linghuo Yaozun. Clearly, there were fewer than thirty Demon Lords in this great hall. Under the coverage of his Divine Consciousness, it was impossible for them to escape at such speed right beneath his nose, let alone so many at once.
At the moment those two gazes landed on Linghuo Yaozun, he immediately felt a terrifying Divine Consciousness sweep over him, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He dared not hesitate for even a moment and quickly replied,
"No, no. The Demon Lords in Extreme City, aside from a few assisting Lord Vermilion Bird Demon Lord in gathering the troops, are all here. As for the other Demon Lords, they are distributed across other major cities; after all, they are all under the Extreme Demon Emperor... Oh no, they are all your forces, Lord Demon Emperor, so naturally, the Demon Lords must guard them."
"Mm." Sun Zhe nodded lightly. Since he had killed the Extreme Demon Emperor, he naturally accepted the forces under the Extreme Demon Emperor without reservation. He did not reject Linghuo Yaozun's words.
"Convey my command: all Demon Lords in the major cities must come to Extreme City to see me within five days. Those who fail to arrive will be executed without mercy!"
After a moment, Sun Zhe slowly stood up, his Jet Black Eyes calmly surveying the many powerful figures below before issuing his first command.
As soon as the words left his mouth, the numerous Demon Lords in the hall involuntarily trembled. "Executed without mercy," this phrase seemed to carry a strong scent of blood. Watching Sun Zhe's figure gradually leave, the many powerful figures in the hall exchanged glances; from his words, they understood that this Demon Emperor was not one to be complacent...
However, aside from a hint of shock in their eyes, what filled them more was an overwhelming excitement. The beings of the demon realm were all warlike; under the Extreme Demon Emperor's rule, they had been silent for far too long.
