In the blink of an eye, over a hundred demon clan death warriors were slaughtered, leaving only a third alive!

The remaining third of the demon clan death warriors now showed expressions of sheer terror!

Death warriors?

Fearless, unyielding death warriors?

They too have been struck with dread by Ye Luo!

Previously, they had held steadfast, believing in their inevitable victory. Their unshakable faith was driven by the idea that their sacrifices would ensure their target’s demise!

But now, Ye Luo was an unstoppable force. Who could hope to contend against him?

Even these so-called fearless death warriors now trembled in horror, thoughts of retreat overwhelming their minds!

Yes, the demon clan’s death warriors were frightened into fleeing by Ye Luo!

Regrettably though, come and go as they please?

Did they check with Ye Luo for his opinion?

Did they ask Ye Luo if he would let them leave unharmed?

Seeing groups of demon clan warriors scattering in retreat, Ye Luo didn’t hesitate. With a sudden burst of speed, he pressed forward and launched relentless attacks against them one by one!

The terrifying force spread across the area, filling it with chaotic spiritual power and the shredded remains of the demon clan warriors.

In mere moments, those attempting to escape were all obliterated by Ye Luo.

The only ones spared were the dozen soldiers who had tunneled underground, attempting to flee through the earth.

But were they truly spared?

No chance. Since Ye Luo had no intention of letting even one escape, they had no hope of survival! 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Suddenly, Ye Luo soared into the air, then hurled himself downward like a meteor!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

In an instant, heaven and earth shuddered, as cracks rippled outward in every direction.

At first, the fissures spread gradually, but then the ground erupted completely!

This single attack obliterated every last inch of land within the surrounding radius, sparing nothing—not the dozen demon clan warriors deep underground, not even insects hidden in the soil!

The devastating assault turned tens of thousands of miles into a desolate wasteland.

Only the patch of earth beneath Ye Luo’s feet remained untouched.

Without hesitation, Ye Luo reverted back to his human form.

This time, Ye Luo took the initiative to transform back, as he wasn’t sure how much spiritual power he had left!

However, just as he regained his human shape, Ye Luo was astonished to discover that a dozen new qi cyclones had appeared within his body!

In other words, Ye Luo had achieved a cultivation breakthrough!

Unbeknownst to him, Ye Luo had advanced his realm!

Without delay, Ye Luo sat down and began consolidating the breakthrough he had painstakingly earned!

He solidified the qi cyclones one by one. Only after their complete integration could Ye Luo truly claim his new status.

Ordinarily, such rapid advancement would have been impossible for Ye Luo.

But this time, the circumstances were extraordinary—his body still contained a vast reserve of residual spiritual power.

These remnants of spiritual energy were more than enough to facilitate Ye Luo’s cultivation breakthrough!

Time flowed by, as Ye Luo sat there, continuously refining those energies into his own power.

Even though the spiritual energy was leftover from his Dragon Transformation, it was still immensely formidable.

Moreover, since this energy had already been utilized by Ye Luo once before, absorbing it now proved to be significantly easier.

Meanwhile, reinforcements from the Royal Academy pressed forward relentlessly!

The first to arrive was Ling Xue.

After all, Ling Xue had been heading in Ye Luo’s direction from the beginning. With minimal obstruction, it was natural for her to be the first to reach him!

When Ling Xue saw Ye Luo’s location, she was utterly shaken!

At the center of Ye Luo’s position, the land within tens of miles had been reduced to rubble—earth shattered, flames smoldering, and the air thick with the scent of scorched flesh. It was sickening.

But thankfully, Ling Xue quickly noticed the bodies—it was all demon clan corpses!

Looking at the carnage, Ling Xue’s heart constricted sharply. She couldn’t fathom the battle Ye Luo had endured, nor the level of power required to wreak such devastation across this battlefield!

Ling Xue’s expression changed drastically as she rushed forward, fear gripping her heart. She was worried—worried about Ye Luo’s safety!

She was scared. The scene, with its cruelty and gore, left her doubting whether Ye Luo could have emerged unscathed.

The overwhelming battle surely must have left Ye Luo injured!

Ling Xue finally found Ye Luo, covered in blood, her heart aching to rush to his side. But as she saw Ye Luo meditating, she realized he might be in the midst of healing and refrained from disturbing him, choosing instead to silently guard him.

The Twelve Emissaries of Slaughter were summoned by Ling Xue, standing vigilantly around Ye Luo, maintaining an alert stance at all times.

At this moment, Ling Xue’s mind was entirely consumed with Ye Luo’s wellbeing.

She neglected to use her divine sense to assess Ye Luo’s condition.

Of course, her worry stemmed from the fact that Ye Luo’s state seemed dire.

After the battle had concluded, Ye Luo immediately entered a state of reflection, absorbing the spiritual energy within his body to seek a breakthrough.

Hence, he paid no attention to his appearance or surroundings.

At this point, Ye Luo’s clothes were utterly tattered. The Dragon Transformation had already torn them apart. Luckily, his garments were specially designed and retained enough scraps to cover vital areas. Yet, his exposed skin was riddled with bloodied wounds!

Some injuries hadn’t fully healed, adding to his grim appearance.

The pitiful sight caused Ling Xue to misunderstand his true condition.

Moreover, since Ye Luo was entirely focused on his enlightenment, he remained oblivious to the events around him, further fueling the misunderstanding.

Ling Xue waited quietly, standing by Ye Luo’s side in protective vigilance, unwilling to disturb him.

In truth, beyond Ling Xue and Yun Liancheng, some students of the Royal Academy harbored resentment toward Ye Luo.

After all, in their view, Ye Luo was their leader on this mission. Yet, ever since entering the Yun Kai Sacred Temple, Ye Luo had issued no commands whatsoever.

He let them act freely, without unified leadership—a decision they saw as the driving cause of their scattered vulnerability.

Thus, they blamed Ye Luo, accusing him of being an unfit leader!

However, as more people arrived and gathered around Ye Luo, they were utterly awestruck by the scene. The battlefield around Ye Luo was horrifying and drenched in bloodshed—a scene none could dismiss!
