426: Double breakthrough

Inside Demon Yama Fortress.

"Bastards! You can't even take down a small Black Flame Fortress! What use do I have for you?"

A cold voice echoed in the main hall, chilling to the bone.

On the throne, a middle-aged man with white clothes and white hair slowly stood up. His face was handsome but carried a sinister aura, and his eyes were like abysses, seemingly capable of devouring all light.

He gently raised a finger, and five black Devilish Qi instantly wrapped around the five Demon Race powerhouses kneeling on the ground.

"Fortress Lord, spare us! Fortress Lord... Ah!"

A Dao Severing King was about to beg for mercy, but his voice stopped abruptly.

His body shriveled at a visible speed, eventually turning into a skeleton, his essence completely absorbed by the white-clothed man.

The other four Great Emperor powerhouses were not spared either, instantly turning into skeletons, their essence flowing into the white-clothed man's body like streams.

The white-clothed man closed his eyes and savored it for a moment, then slowly opened them, a cold sneer playing on his lips: "Useless trash, you can't even handle such a small matter."

The other Demon Race members in the hall, seeing this scene, were long accustomed to it, not even raising an eyelid.

In the Demon Race's world, the weak can only become food or slaves for the strong, and even death is a luxury. High-ranking Demon Race members rule this land, taking pleasure in slaughter and living by devouring the weak.

Here, strength is the only pass, the strong are respected, and the weak are preyed upon. This is the only Law, and indifference and slaughter are the norm for survival.

"Bai Jiu!"

Bai Yan spoke indifferently after absorbing the essence of the five Demon Race members.

"Master!"

A tall, burly Demon Race member with a green face and fangs walked out from the hall. He exuded the aura of the Dao Severing Late Stage, his entire being fierce, yet he was extremely respectful to Bai Yan.

"Go yourself! Destroy that Black Flame Fortress. In the western part of this Demon Bone Wasteland, only my Demon Yama Fortress can dominate!"

Bai Yan's voice was cold and authoritative, carrying an undeniable power.

"Also, bring their Physical Bodies back. I will sacrifice their Physical Bodies to the great Demon Lord!"

"Yes! Your subordinate will definitely live up to Master's trust!"

Bai Jiu knelt on one knee, his voice like muffled thunder, making the hall tremble slightly.

Bai Yan nodded slightly, his gaze deep as he looked into the distance, and quietly said: "Two years... the time is almost up."

Naturally, two years ago, he came to the Demon Realm and began the plan his Master had given him.

In two years, relying on the War Demon Cauldron, he suppressed enemies all the way, eventually establishing Demon Yama Fortress and ruling six hundred Dao Provinces in the western Demon Bone Wasteland.

Although still far from his Master's goal, it was already the first step.

These two years, by transporting treasures to his Master, his cultivation had reached Dao Severing Perfection, and he had even cultivated nine Dao-Grade confidants.

With this foundation, he was capable of looking towards other parts of the Demon Bone Wasteland, and even... further.

"Black Flame Fortress... is nothing more than a stepping stone."

Bai Yan murmured in a low voice, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

Bai Jiu took his leave, his figure like a black lightning bolt, instantly disappearing outside the main hall.

His departure seemed to take away the last trace of warmth from the hall, leaving only cold killing intent and endless ambition.

Bai Yan slowly sat back on the throne, his fingers gently tapping the armrest, his gaze deep and cold.

His voice was like it came from the Nine Hells, carrying endless majesty and killing intent: "The Demon Bone Wasteland... and even the entire Blood Hell Dao Domain, will submit to my Demon Yama Fortress."

"Master, Bai Yan will not disappoint you!"

...Time passed, and three years flashed by.

On this day, the perennial dark clouds shrouding the Ancient Forest Forbidden Zone suddenly dispersed, as if an invisible giant hand had torn apart the sky, revealing the long-lost sunlight.

This anomaly was immediately noticed by the Azure Flame Dark Sparrow Clan powerhouses guarding outside. They all looked up, their eyes full of surprise and doubt.

"What's going on? Why have the dark clouds over the Forbidden Zone dispersed?"

An Azure Flame Dark Sparrow Clan powerhouse murmured in a low voice, a hint of unease in his tone.

However, before they could react, a earth-shattering Dragon roar suddenly resounded from the depths of the Ancient Forest Forbidden Zone, followed by a clear Phoenix cry.

The Dragon roar and Phoenix cry intertwined, forming substantial sound waves, like towering tsunamis, sweeping in all directions.

"Not good! Retreat quickly!"

The Azure Flame Dark Sparrow Clan powerhouses' expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly retreated.

However, the sound waves were too fast, catching up to them in an instant.

"No!!!"

"Boom—"

The terrifying sound waves were like the collapse of heaven and earth, churning the world for billions of miles, mountains collapsing, rivers reversing, and the world was in Chaos.

And those Azure Flame Dark Sparrow Clan powerhouses who remained outside, in their unwillingness, were shattered into blood mist by the sound waves of the Dragon roar and Phoenix cry, dissipating between heaven and earth.

The commotion here instantly alarmed the powerhouses of the entire Azure Flame Dao Domain.

The six Dao Monarchs within the Dao Domain all extended their Dao senses, looking in the direction of the Ancient Forest Forbidden Zone.

As soon as their Dao senses approached, they were shocked by the terrifying Chaos storm.

"This... what's going on? How did the Ancient Forest Forbidden Zone become like this?"

A Dao Monarch's voice trembled, his eyes filled with disbelief.

At this moment, the Ancient Forest Forbidden Zone had already turned into ruins, and in the depths of the Forbidden Zone, a terrifying Chaos storm was raging, seemingly wanting to devour everything.

And at the center of that storm, two terrifying auras were slowly awakening, like slumbering ancient beasts, about to descend upon the world.

"What is that? Is something going to come out of the Forbidden Zone?"

Another Dao Monarch asked in a low voice, his expression solemn.

However, before they could ponder further, two terrifying Dao senses suddenly swept out from the Chaos storm. Those Dao senses were like heavenly might, instantly pressing down on the six Dao Monarchs, making their hearts tremble, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on their Divine Souls.

"This... This is the aura of a Divine Beast!"

A Dao Monarch exclaimed, a hint of fear in his voice.

Immediately after, they witnessed a scene they would never forget for the rest of their lives.

They saw a Dragon and a Phoenix slowly flying out of the Chaos storm. The Dragon's body was a million feet long, its scales like silver, its Dragon eyes like the sun and moon, incomparably majestic; the Phoenix's body was also a million feet long, its wings like snow, its Phoenix eyes like stars, incomparably noble.

Both were surrounded by endless divine light, as if they were the Dominators of heaven and earth, their might overwhelming the world.

"Dragon... Dragon and Phoenix! How is this possible? How could such beings exist in my Azure Flame Dao Domain!" A Dao Monarch exclaimed in shock, his voice filled with terror.

Dragon and Phoenix, those were Supreme beings of the Yao Race. The Ancient Land of Dao had many Flood Dragons and even mixed-blood Dragon species, and there were also many mixed-blood Phoenix Race beings, but True Dragons and True Phoenixes only existed in the Sacred Domain.

The two Dragons before them, although they could not discern their Bloodline, were definitely stronger than True Dragons and True Phoenixes. How could such beings appear in their Dao Domain?

Just as the Dragon and Phoenix were born.

Sacred Domain!

Dragon Realm, vast Dragon Qi surged.

In the depths of the Dragon Realm, there were tens of thousands of towering Divine Mountains, each representing a world, and at the top of each Divine Mountain stood an ancient divine hall. Each divine hall manifested unique Grand Dao Laws, with an immortal aura permeating, covering the sky and earth.

And at the very center, there was a towering mountain range twice as high as the other peaks. At its summit, a magnificent golden divine hall stood. Above the divine hall, a five-clawed Golden Dragon lay still, overlooking the mountains and rivers of the Dragon Realm.

At this moment, inside the main hall, a figure wearing a golden crown, draped in a golden Dragon robe, and exuding a noble aura, slowly opened his eyes.

His gaze pierced through layers of Void Realm, seeing everything that was happening in the Azure Flame Dao Domain...
