"Alright then. I'll come back to refine it after I break through to the Deity realm."
Ye Yunfei gave up directly, stood up, and spoke.
He then surveyed the Small World and found it completely empty, devoid of any living beings—it was an uninhabited realm.
Ye Yunfei exited the Small World and set up dozens of large Formations and geomancy arrays outside, heavily concealing its entrance and exit.
He was confident that these geomancy arrays and Formations he deployed would likely bar entry even to a Primary Void God. After that, Ye Yunfei left the headquarters of the Upper Purity Sect.
Not long after, a contingent of the Alliance Army, acting on Ye Yunfei's orders, arrived at the Upper Purity Sect's headquarters.
From then on, this place would serve as a branch point for the Alliance Army.
"Next, there are a few more major powers I need to settle scores with."
Ye Yunfei's gaze swept across the vast, hazy void in the distance as he spoke slowly.
"Next stop, let's head to the Demon Capital."
His eyes turned in the direction of the Demon Capital.
"The grievances between me and the Demon Capital are not small either!"
Ye Yunfei muttered to himself, then began moving towards the Demon Capital.
Having annihilated five major powers in succession, countless beings across the void were now paying attention to Ye Yunfei. Many grandmasters of divination were tracing his every move, and quite a few bold experts were even secretly sensing his aura.
In the void, Ye Yunfei strode purposefully towards the Demon Capital.
Before long, news spread.
Ye Yunfei was going to destroy the Demon Capital!
The revelation once again caused a huge sensation.
Many people stealthily converged near the Demon Capital, lurking in the surrounding space.
"Damn that Ye Yunfei! It seems he really intends to destroy our Demon Capital. How dare he?"
"Our demon race has thrived in this void for endless eons. A mere junior like him wants to wipe out our Demon Capital? Utter arrogance!"
"Let's fight Ye Yunfei to the death!"
At this moment, angry roars erupted one after another within the Demon Capital. Surging, monstrous demon energy soared skyward as demons danced wildly.
The demon race was, in fact, a major branch, within which existed many subdivided, smaller races. These different monster races were not particularly united; they often engaged in internal power struggles and conflict, much like the demonic race.
"Everyone, Ye Yunfei currently possesses terrifying power and methods. Our Demon Capital is no match for him."
Amidst the torrent of furious roars, an ancient demon suddenly soared into the air, standing above the Demon Capital as he spoke.
His voice instantly quelled all the roars within the Demon Capital. Upon hearing him speak, every other demon in the Demon Capital immediately fell silent, looking at the elder with reverence.
Within the Demon Capital, hierarchy and status were paramount. The strong were supreme, and the weak would not dare to disobey the will of the powerful, lest they face immediate and brutal execution.
This elder demon was a top-tier powerhouse standing at the apex of the Demon Capital's pyramid, also among the earliest to achieve the breakthrough to become a demon god.
"Great Demon God, we've just received word that Ye Yunfei is currently heading towards our Demon Capital. What should we do?"
A demon with three azure-colored horns growing from its head lifted its hideous, contorted face to ask.
"We evacuate immediately. A while ago, our old witch doctor made contact through the Ancestral Sacrificial Altar with a Lord from our demon race's Mother World. That Lord has agreed to receive us."
"Therefore, everyone must now organize the members of your respective races immediately and head to the Small World where the Ancestral Sacrificial Altar is located. Prepare to leave the Demon Capital for the Mother World."
The ancient demon standing high in the sky proclaimed clearly.
"Excellent! The old witch doctor has finally contacted the Mother World!"
"We can finally return to the Mother World!"
Hearing the words of the elder demon, every being in the Demon Capital burst into joyous celebration, shouting wildly.
Soon, massive hordes of demons began gathering and moving towards the Small World housing the Ancestral Sacrificial Altar.
Meanwhile, Ye Yunfei was steadily approaching the Demon Capital. Before long, he arrived just outside it.
Looking ahead, the space before him displayed expansive clusters of sinister, demonic runes. Impossibly dense demonic energy churned and roiled madly. Chains of demonic law, rustling and shaking, resembled terrifying demonic serpents. Faintly, one could also hear the bizarre, cacophonous sounds of countless demons praying.
"This is the Demon Capital,"
Hun Lao spoke up.
"We'll just go straight in."
Ye Yunfei did not pause his steps but strode directly towards the Demon Capital's entrance.
At the entrance stood a large contingent of the Demon Race Army on guard. Ye Yunfei paid them no mind.
Given his current strength and methods, ordinary beings in this void were as insignificant as ants to Ye Yunfei; they could be completely ignored.
*Boom! Boom! Boom!*
As Ye Yunfei reached the entrance, before the guarding Demon Race soldiers could even open their mouths to question him, the oppressive energy radiating from his body caused them to explode one after another.
Though Ye Yunfei was currently only at the peak Demigod realm, the energy he possessed far surpassed that of an ordinary peak Demigod, approaching the level of a Deity. The energy he released was simply not something these ordinary Demon Race soldiers could withstand.
Thus, as Ye Yunfei moved forward, the Demonic Race troops ahead continuously exploded into clouds of bloody mist. In just moments, all the guarding soldiers at the Demon Capital's entrance had been obliterated by Ye Yunfei's energy, leaving none alive.
Just as Ye Yunfei was about to step into the Demon Capital, a large group of demon race members rushed out from within.
Ye Yunfei halted, his icy gaze sweeping over the demon members. At the forefront were six demon gods, each radiating immense demonic power. Around them in space floated numerous invisible chains of demonic law, and many sinister runes related to demonic civilization pervaded the area.
"The demon race humbly welcomes Young Master Ye!"
The demon god leading the group saw Ye Yunfei and immediately bowed respectfully. All the demon members following behind also bowed deeply and shouted their greeting.
Ye Yunfei remained expressionless and silent, his eyes brimming with obvious killing intent.
"Young Master Ye, these contain two-thirds of our Demon Capital's assets. We now offer them to you."
The leading demon god didn't hesitate, immediately producing several dozen spatial rings and presenting them to Ye Yunfei.
"This is two-thirds of your Demon Capital's wealth?"
Ye Yunfei seemed slightly surprised. He glanced at the dozens of spatial rings and asked coolly.
"Indeed, Young Master Ye. I absolutely would not dare deceive you. This truly constitutes two-thirds of our Demon Capital's assets, all now offered to you."
"In the past, our Demon Capital offended you. Now, we present our treasures, hoping only for your magnanimity in sparing our Demon Capital."
The leading demon god adopted an extremely humble posture, speaking in a sincere tone.
"But if I wipe out your Demon Capital, I can seize all of its assets,"
Ye Yunfei cast a glance at the speaking demon god and said coldly.
"If Young Master Ye truly insists on destroying our Demon Capital, then we can only accept our fate. We will not resist. Whether killed or quartered, we are entirely at your disposal."
The leading demon god hurriedly replied.
His bow deepened. The other demon members standing behind him also adopted respectful postures, bowing low. Not a single one dared show the slightest hint of dissatisfaction.
Prior to this, Ye Yunfei had wiped out five major powers, including the mightiest Guardian Faction. They knew the Demon Capital was absolutely no match for Ye Yunfei.
At this moment, vast numbers of spectators had gathered in the space surrounding the Demon Capital.
"The Demon Capital actually proactively offers two-thirds of their assets before Ye Yunfei, not daring to show the slightest intention of resistance."
"Today, the demon race, with its once illustrious reputation, adopts such an obsequious posture before Ye Yunfei."
Seeing the high-ranking demons prostrating themselves before Ye Yunfei, countless people sighed in wonder.
"The era of Ye Yunfei has truly arrived."
"Our void is, in reality, already ruled by Ye Yunfei. No one dares oppose him any longer."
Many couldn't help but transmit messages amongst themselves, lamenting Ye Yunfei's overwhelming dominance.
Ye Yunfei stood before the demon leaders, silent, his gaze icy.
The demon leaders were extremely careful, not daring to even breathe heavily, fearful that the slightest misstep might anger Ye Yunfei and trigger a massacre.
Meanwhile, within the Demon Capital, large groups of demon members continuously flooded into the Small World housing the Ancestral Sacrificial Altar.
Within that Small World stood an exceedingly ancient altar. On the altar, a long-distance teleportation portal had been opened. Demonic race members were walking into this portal, heading towards their Mother World.
"Do you think Ye Yunfei will spare the demon race?"
At this moment, many near the Demon Capital were exchanging messages, discussing.
"I don't think Ye Yunfei will let them off. His killing nature is too strong, and he holds grudges too deeply."
"He's already annihilated five major powers in one go. It's said not a single survivor was left at any of their headquarters."
"The demon race has feuds with Ye Yunfei in the past. Given his temperament, how could he possibly spare them?" someone speculated.
"I've heard Ye Yunfei intends to wipe out at least one-third of the powers in this void. So his killing spree won't stop now; it'll likely continue for a long time."
"He won't rest until this void is filled with mountains of corpses and rivers of blood, with severed heads rolling like stones," someone else answered.
"If that's really the case, then what difference is there between the current Ye Yunfei and the Guardian Faction of old?"
"One could argue he might be even more ruthless than them." Someone couldn't help but shake their head and sigh.
At the entrance of the Demon Capital, Ye Yunfei stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sharp as lightning.
Before him, the high-ranking demons of the Demon Capital bowed deeply, striving to present the most respectful attitude. Deep in their eyes, terror flickered.
They knew that once Ye Yunfei attacked, they would all be slaughtered.
"Your demon race offended me in the past and even sent members into the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, killing people from there."
"Very well, here are my terms: any demon who has offended me, offended the Alliance Army, or killed people from the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds in the past must step forward to be killed by me."
"Furthermore, the clans or sects to which those individuals belong must also step forward to be killed. On this condition, I can spare your Demon Capital."
"Otherwise, I will invade and obliterate it."
"This is my final offer. Non-negotiable."
After a moment of contemplation, Ye Yunfei finally spoke slowly and clearly.
