The barrier was shrinking!
Mo Fan’s pupils contracted sharply as he turned to look at the massive six-coloured Vermilion Fruit Treasure Tree.
Though he couldn’t see the faces of the great demons hidden within, he seemed to glimpse their cruel, cold expressions.
Without a doubt, the barrier was being controlled by these creatures. They intended to completely compress the living space of the demons in the Three Mountains within the Demon Spirit Valley.
Mo Fan looked up at the sky. Though obscured by the tree’s branches, the light was noticeably dimmer than before.
In other words, daytime was nearly over. The great demons of the Three Mountains, unable to restrain their urges, had decided to force a final slaughter among the demons before sunset.
“Boss, it looks like they’re coming towards us!”
At that moment, Rabbit Demon Red Eyes cried out in alarm.
“It’s not them coming towards us. All the demons in this trial are being forced into one place for a final slaughter.”
Mo Fan spoke calmly, rising to his feet. As he observed the shrinking space around them, a chill flickered in his eyes.
“Get ready. Since those great demons up there want us to fight, we’ll give them a show!”
“This time, this boss will make them feel the pain of their losses!”
With that, Mo Fan grinned savagely, leapt into the air, and shot forward. His surging demonic energy erupted, forming a black cloud that lifted his body, as if riding the mist, charging towards the demons of the Two Mountains in the distance.
This was Mo Fan’s first time using the Cloud-Soaring Technique, yet he wielded it as if self-taught.
Before reaching the Demon General realm, his demonic energy wasn’t enough to support his body.
Now, having broken through to the Demon General realm, his demonic energy had liquefied. Both in quality and quantity, it far surpassed the Demon Ding realm, fully capable of lifting him.
This was what the great demons called riding the clouds!
Mo Fan led the charge, soaring straight above the demon horde.
“The Demon Eater is here! Run!!”
A demon screamed in terror, but the next moment, Mo Fan spewed an endless frost mist. Wherever it passed, whether lesser demons or Demon Dings, none escaped being frozen.
“Hiss—”
A fierce wind roared as Mo Fan opened his mouth and sucked, swallowing all the nearby lesser demons.
This terrifying scene struck fear into the hearts of the Two Mountains’ lesser demons. They realised this horrifying Demon Eater didn’t distinguish friend from foe, swallowing everything in a frenzy. It was utterly terrifying.
“Run!!”
The Two Mountains’ lesser demons lost all will to fight, scattering in panic.
“Mine!”
“Mine!”
“All mine!!”
Mo Fan laughed wildly, like a fearsome Demon Eater God, soaring through the clouds, chasing the lesser demons. Each time he opened his mouth, scores of them were swallowed.
“Brother Lai Bao, many of them are my Black Wind Mountain demons! How can you swallow them indiscriminately?!”
At that moment, a figure appeared. It was Da Jiao, with whom Mo Fan had parted ways. He raised his curved blade, pointing at Mo Fan, looking heartbroken.
“Are you trying to stop me too?”
Mo Fan’s cold gaze fell on him, his icy tone and the intense killing intent radiating from him causing Da Jiao to lower his blade instinctively, a bitter smile forming on his face.
He knew he was no longer a match for this Brother Lai Bao.
And the other was no longer the newly ascended Demon Ding bullied by others.
“If you kill recklessly, even if you leave this place, Demon King Grandpa won’t spare you!”
“Why seek your own death?!”
Da Jiao gritted his teeth, looking up at the black-robed youth who seemed like a demonic god.
“Reckless killing?”
“No, Da Jiao, you’ve never understood one thing. The true reckless killers aren’t me, Lai Bao, but the great demons of the Three Mountains!”
Mo Fan laughed loudly, then grinned again. “Of course, I’m a demon of Black Wind Mountain too. I wouldn’t slaughter my own mountain’s demons. But to achieve Demon King Grandpa’s goal, I must harden my heart and devour everything!
The Two Mountains’ lesser demons are in chaos now, no longer distinguishable as friend or foe.
So, to win this trial, I’d rather kill wrongly than let any escape!”
With that, Mo Fan laughed and chased after them, shouting, “Red Eyes, Da Li, Mr Pig, Zha Zha!”
“Boss, we’re here!!”
Four figures rushed from afar.
“You four, spread out to the four corners. Don’t let a single demon escape!”
“This general will uphold the great king’s will, unleash a massacre, and end this trial!”
“Yes!!”
The four demons shouted in unison, scattering to the four directions, brimming with excitement.
When had they ever been this glorious?
Following their boss, the five of them were pulling off the feat of hunting over a hundred demons!
How heaven-defying!
Once they got out, they’d have to brag to other demons for days and nights.
The Two Mountains’ lesser demons were like startled birds, too scared to pause or fight Red Eyes and the others. Blocked in one direction, they turned and fled elsewhere, desperate to escape.
Mo Fan, laughing maniacally, flew and devoured, his demonic energy vortex gradually undergoing new changes.
The demonic energy rose, forming a dark cloud, while the demon liquid sank, condensing into a pool, harbouring terrifying demonic power.
Moreover, the spiritual energy vortex in Mo Fan’s abdomen also changed. As a drop of milky-white liquid appeared, his body shuddered, an indescribable comfort washing over him, like a warm current flowing to his limbs.
At the same time, a milky-white stream merged into his meridians, circulating through the eight extraordinary channels, gradually transforming into an intangible force.
Mo Fan instantly understood what this power was.
If demonic energy could liquefy, so could spiritual energy.
This intangible force was spiritual power!
Demonic power flowed through the twelve main meridians, spiritual power through the fifteen collateral channels, complementing each other without interference.
“Exhilarating!”
“Hahahaha…!!”
Realising his internal state, Mo Fan burst into laughter, his demonic energy growing denser. With a wave of his hand, immense demonic power surged, forming threads that pierced the backs of fleeing lesser demons, yanking them off the ground and into his mouth.
“You damned thing! Are you going to swallow all my Black Wind Mountain demons?!”
At that moment, a furious roar came from afar. A golden-armoured demon soared through the clouds towards him.
“Screech!”
A high-pitched cry echoed from the sky as a massive blood-red eagle beast swooped down at Mo Fan.
The Two Mountains’ demon generals, who had been fighting to the death moments ago, now tacitly ceased their battle, turning their attacks on Mo Fan.
They realised they couldn’t let him keep devouring, or the Two Mountains’ demons in this trial ground would be wiped out, and they themselves might face grave danger.
In their eyes, Mo Fan was a reckless madman.
He had exceeded the Three Mountains’ great demons’ expectations and broken the trial’s rules, going completely wild and lawless.
Such a being was undeniably dangerous, so the two demons decided to join forces and eliminate Mo Fan first.
“Hm?”
“Are you here to offer me your demon heads?!”
“If so, this general won’t be polite. I’ll take them all!!”
Mo Fan laughed wildly, showing no fear of their alliance. Instead, he charged towards them with glee.
