"The Demon Race is testing the Ancient Covenant."
This time, the Fat Monk spoke up.
"Yes.
And not just the Demon Race. Several other forces are testing the Ancient Covenant as well.
They want to see how much strength the Ancient Covenant still possesses, and whether it can still suppress the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds."
The old man replied softly.
"The Demon Race is testing the Ancient Covenant?
So, does that mean those Heavenly Emperor-level demons who suddenly emerged from the Demon Realm to devour the inhabitants of those two worlds were acting on purpose? It was a deliberate plot aimed at testing the Ancient Covenant?"
Upon hearing the words of the old man and the monk, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.
But why would the Demon Race want to test the Ancient Covenant?
And besides the Demon Race, which other forces were testing it?
Ye Yunfei pondered quietly.
Ye Yunfei released his Soul Power, intending to probe into the Demon Realm to see how the battle between that golden hand and the demons was progressing.
However, as soon as his Soul Power entered the Demon Realm, it was blocked by a powerful law of demonic energy. He simply could not perceive anything happening inside.
"It seems the Demon Race is far more powerful than I imagined.
I had underestimated them before."
Ye Yunfei couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Just at that moment.
BOOM...
The golden hand suddenly withdrew from the Demon Realm. A shocking sight of copious, bright red demon blood stained its golden surface.
"Did the Ancient Covenant slay that demon who had reached the Deity realm?"
Ye Yunfei stared at the golden hand, wondering.
It wasn't just Ye Yunfei. Countless beings across the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds were pondering the same question.
But if even Ye Yunfei's Soul Power couldn't perceive events within the Demon Realm, other ordinary beings naturally had no chance.
"You two Seniors, what was the result?"
Ye Yunfei turned to the old man and the Fat Monk and asked.
"No decisive result.
A great power from the Demon Race intervened and protected that fellow.
The Ancient Covenant did not wipe them out completely."
The Fat Monk answered.
"The Ancient Covenant didn't wipe them out completely?
Doesn't that mean the Demon Race's strength is terrifying, to the point even the Ancient Covenant can't do anything to them?"
Ye Yunfei was somewhat surprised.
"It's not that the Ancient Covenant can't do anything to them, but rather, the time for a life-and-death decisive battle has not yet come."
The old man stated.
"You two Seniors, just what is the origin of this Ancient Covenant?
Does it belong to the Light Faction?"
Ye Yunfei asked curiously.
"There are some things you shouldn't know too early.
Don't worry, when your strength is sufficient, you will naturally find out."
The Fat Monk said.
"Alright then."
Seeing that neither was willing to speak, Ye Yunfei did not press further.
At that moment, the golden hand was slowly retracing its path back.
"Hehe...
Do you truly believe you rule the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds?
Today, I will shatter this so-called Ancient Covenant of yours!"
Just then, a cold sneer rang out.
BOOM...
As the voice faded, a large black hand appeared, swiftly striking towards the golden hand.
"An expert from the Dark Faction!"
Ye Yunfei stared at the black hand, his eyes narrowing. He could sense thick, malevolent energy characteristic of the Dark Faction emanating from it.
BOOM!
Soon, the black hand and the golden hand began their battle.
The power of both hands was terrifying. A single casual palm strike could shatter vast swathes of space. The energy pressure they released spread far and wide, causing countless beings across many worlds to tremble uncontrollably, prostrating themselves on the ground, not daring to move.
"The Ancient Covenant is starting to gain the upper hand."
After a few exchanges, Ye Yunfei could see that the golden hand was beginning to overpower the black one, pressing the attack.
"Ancient Covenant, you've run rampant across the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds for long enough.
Today, I shall also test the might of the Ancient Covenant."
Right then, an ear-splitting voice boomed. A gigantic, hairy hand materialized, emanating torrential demonic energy. It clenched into a fist and slammed towards the golden hand.
"A power from the Demon Race is making a move!
It seems the Demon Race is also at odds with the Ancient Covenant!"
Ye Yunfei recognized at a glance that this hairy giant hand was extended by a powerful expert of the Demon Race.
BOOM!
The golden hand threw a punch, forcefully repelling the demonic hand.
"Jijie...
Let me join the fun!
Ancient Covenant, you just barged into our Demon Realm causing havoc! Did you truly think our Demon Race is easy to bully!"
A sinister laugh echoed. Another large hand reached out from the Demon Realm, hurtling towards the golden hand.
Thus, three large hands now encircled and attacked the golden hand.
One black hand, one demonic hand, and one demon hand!
"The Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds are quite lively today."
Suddenly, everyone heard another voice, icy beyond measure, coming from afar. Then, a pale hand radiating immense cold appeared in the Chaotic Void of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, attacking the golden hand.
"The Netherworld faction has shown up too!"
The Fat Monk snorted coldly.
"Powerful experts from the Demon Realm, the Demon Realm, and the Netherworld have all arrived."
Ye Yunfei watched the terrifying battle in the distant Chaotic Void, thinking to himself.
"So it seems the three major forces — the Demon Race, the Demon Race, and the Netherworld — all have grievances with the Ancient Covenant.
Otherwise, they wouldn't directly attack it."
Ye Yunfei mused inwardly.
"You two Seniors, with so many opponents, can the Ancient Covenant handle it?"
Ye Yunfei was somewhat worried.
"It can handle it.
The Ancient Covenant is stronger than you imagine."
The Fat Monk assured.
BOOM!
At that moment, the golden hand delivered a palm strike that sent the demonic hand flying backward.
BANG!
Soon after, another palm strike from the golden hand sent another hand hurtling away.
BOOM...
The golden hand and the black hand clashed directly. After a moment of deadlock, the golden hand forced the black hand into a continuous retreat.
From then on, the golden hand gradually seized the upper hand.
It sent the three opposing hands flying repeatedly.
The golden hand itself grew more valiant with each strike, its fighting spirit boiling.
BOOM...
In the midst of the melee, the golden hand suddenly erupted with power. A single punch caused the demon hand to explode, transforming into a shower of demon blood that splattered everywhere.
PUFF!
Next, the golden hand delivered a slicing palm strike, cleanly severing the demonic hand into two halves.
BOOM BOOM...
Following up with a relentless barrage of punches, the golden hand utterly obliterated the black hand.
"Hmph!
Ancient Covenant, just you wait. You will be erased sooner or later."
After their defeat, the three hands did not reappear. A cold snort echoed from the distance.
Then, silence fell.
Only the golden hand remained, hovering in the Chaotic Void.
A moment later, it too slowly faded from sight.
A terrifying great battle had finally come to an end.
