As long as the demon lord is dead, completely wiping out the demon clan is now a foregone conclusion.
After all, the number of heavenly demons in the demon clan is now scarce, and with so few strong fighters, they are doomed to be crushed.
After Mo Bai and the other two left.
Lin Yun and Little Blue Dragon lay on the ground, recovering their strength, while Little Monkey also came to Lin Yun’s side.
“Brat, with the demon clan’s downfall now inevitable, the human race can enjoy peace. What are your plans for the future?” Little Blue Dragon looked at Lin Yun.
“I promised my family that once the demon clan is eradicated, I’d spend time with them properly. After years of running around cultivating, it’s time to rest,” Lin Yun said, gazing at the sky.
“What about going to the ancestral land? You’ll go there, right? When?” Little Blue Dragon asked.
Little Blue Dragon was unaware that Lin Yun had to form a death servant contract with the Heavenly Fire Temple.
Lin Yun pondered for a few seconds before saying, “I’ll stay with my family first.”
At that moment, a commotion came from the west.
A large group of people rapidly approached from the west.
It was the army led by Empress Kunlan, with the Shadow Hall’s forces in the air.
“Lin Yun!”
Mo Qing, in the air, saw Lin Yun lying on the ground. She shouted urgently and rushed towards him.
Could something have happened to Lin Yun? Was he in danger?
Mo Qing’s heart leapt to her throat, tears welling up in her anxiety.
Hearing Mo Qing’s voice, Lin Yun immediately got up. Mo Qing had already landed in front of him.
“Senior Sister Mo Qing!” Lin Yun grinned.
“Lin Yun, you… you’re alright?”
“That’s wonderful!”
Mo Qing rushed into Lin Yun’s arms, embracing him tightly.
“Of course I’m fine. Just a bit tired from killing the demon lord, no need to worry,” Lin Yun said with a smile, gently patting Mo Qing’s shoulder to comfort her.
“You don’t know how scared I was seeing you lying there,” Mo Qing said, tears turning to a joyful smile.
…
Not far away.
“That little lass is truly blessed,” Empress Kunlan remarked, watching the scene.
After Lin Yun and Mo Qing embraced.
“By the way, Senior Sister, how did you get here so quickly?” Lin Yun asked, puzzled.
“After we noticed the battle here, we hurried along the route. We didn’t encounter any large-scale fights on the way, so we arrived this fast,” Mo Qing explained.
At this moment, Empress Kunlan and the Shadow Hall Master approached Lin Yun.
“Lin Yun, killing the demon lord is truly remarkable. Your strength now likely surpasses anyone in the human race,” the Shadow Hall Master said.
Empress Kunlan added, “You’re quite impressive, I must say. You’ve made an indelible contribution to the human race this time.”
“I only did my part. Next, we need to fully deal with the demon beasts in the Demon Beast Mountain Range. Everyone, let’s keep moving. It’s not time to celebrate yet,” Lin Yun said.
“Alright, Palace Master Mo has already issued the plan. All immortals, step forward, lead your teams, and thoroughly search and eliminate the demon beasts in the mountains!” the Shadow Hall Master declared.
The Shadow Hall and Kunlan Empire forces quickly split into multiple teams and began their operations.
“Little Blue Dragon, how’s your recovery?” Lin Yun looked at Little Blue Dragon.
“My condition is definitely better than yours, kid,” Little Blue Dragon replied.
“Alright then, let’s move out. Search and eliminate the demon beasts!” Lin Yun said.
Then he turned to Mo Qing, “Senior Sister, together!”
“Yes!” Mo Qing nodded enthusiastically.
Lin Yun collected the demon lord’s body and headed to the battlefield.
…
After the demon lord’s death, the search and elimination of demon beasts began in earnest across the Demon Beast Mountain Range. Lin Yun joined in, using his divine sense to track and kill demon beasts.
More and more human cultivators, sects, families, and forces voluntarily entered the mountains.
Despite the demon clan’s geographical advantage, the strength gap was too vast. With only about twenty heavenly demons left, how could they resist?
With the demon lord gone, the human race had no worries, so the search and elimination could proceed methodically, with ample time to complete it.
Each dispersed team was led by an immortal to minimise losses.
Under this encirclement, demon beasts were continuously killed, some even choosing to self-destruct.
Many tried to flee the Demon Beast Mountain Range, but those reaching the border found it guarded by human armies, trapping them like fish in a barrel.
…
One year later.
After a full year of relentless encirclement, the battle to clear the Demon Beast Mountain Range concluded.
In that year, ninety percent of the demon beasts were successfully eliminated, and not a single heavenly demon remained.
The remaining ten percent were stragglers missed during the search.
The main human forces withdrew from the Demon Beast Mountain Range, leaving a small contingent to continue eliminating the stragglers.
Wiping out these remnants was only a matter of time, with no suspense left.
Thus, the Heavenly God Palace officially announced to the entire human race that the demon clan was eradicated.
This day was designated as the human race’s Victory Day.
From now on, the scourge of demon beasts was no more, and the continent would enter a new era of peace.
In this great war, the human race suffered some losses: six immortals and a number of cultivators from other realms.
Yet, these losses were relatively small, as war inevitably brings sacrifice.
On Victory Day, celebrations erupted across the land.
Every human city was adorned with lights and decorations, hosting grand feasts to celebrate the human race’s victory and the peace to come.
Henceforth, ordinary people no longer needed to fear demon clan invasions of their homes or attacks by demon beasts when travelling.
The entire continent would enter a brand-new era.
Lin Yun, as the one who killed the demon lord, was hailed as the human race’s war god, his reputation reaching its peak across the cultivation continent.
…
Heavenly God Palace.
On Victory Day, a grand feast was held in the palace square to celebrate the human race’s triumph.
All human immortals gathered there.
The dragon clan reinforcements had withdrawn from the Demon Beast Mountain Range six months earlier, returning to their territory, though Little Blue Dragon remained.
Deputy Palace Master Yao stood, his voice resounding, “Everyone, let us raise a toast. Without Lin Yun, we couldn’t have killed the demon lord or eradicated the demon clan. He brought us this victory. He made the demon clan history forever.”
