Taibai moved swiftly, and in a flash, he appeared in front of Yuan Futong.
"Please spare me, senior! I surrender! I surrender willingly!"
Yuan Futong's hastily begged words of mercy had barely left his mouth, and before the sound of his voice had completely faded, Taibai's sword flashed past.
Yuan Futong died on the spot, revealing his true form as a monkey demon with a cultivation level of only Celestial Immortal.
"Wen Zhong, clear this place out."
After giving the order, Taibai transformed into a streak of light and sped straight towards the direction of the Ten Thousand Mountains.
This place is in the north, not far from the distant Ten Thousand Mountains.
Even with Venus's abilities, crossing such a distance would only take him three days.
On the third day at dusk, a majestic, continuous silhouette came into view.
The Ten Thousand Mountains truly live up to their name.
The surrounding area is still a vast plain, but looking further ahead, the view is completely blocked by endless peaks.
At the very center, a single mountain peak stands out prominently, piercing through the clouds and reaching straight to the sky.
Even more alarming was the overwhelming demonic aura that enveloped the entire mountain region.
Taibai did not venture into the Ten Thousand Mountains. He rose higher and higher, and when the vast sea of clouds below and the Ten Thousand Mountains spread out before turning and flying towards the core area of the mountain range.
After flying for a short while, a huge barrier blocked their way.
Taibai stood in mid-air, and with a slight thought, the Five Primordial Flags appeared in the void around him, standing in the five directions.
In the next instant, immense power erupted from between the five banners, and a grand innate five-directional array covering an area of tens of thousands of miles was unleashed.
"Boom!"
The earth shook violently, and the entire Shiwan Mountain range trembled violently, with countless rocks tumbling down and ancient trees being broken.
Immediately afterwards, streaks of demonic energy rushed out from every corner of the mountains.
Almost all the demon cultivators who had reached the Golden Immortal level were startled by this sudden and terrifying formation and flew into the air.
As Taibai's gaze swept across the area, he saw figures of various shapes and sizes amidst the rolling demonic clouds, accompanied by the incessant cries of birds and roars of beasts.
Among them, there were more than a dozen people whose auras were particularly deep and powerful, and they were all at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal.
It is truly astonishing that the remaining demon race can still retain such strength.
"Even in such decline, they still possess such profound strength; this ancient overlord clan is indeed not to be underestimated."
He pointed his fingers forward as if they were swords, and the Geng metal longsword rang out with a clear sound as it hovered in front of him.
In an instant, the void behind him rippled, and thousands of longswords slashed downwards.
At the same time, the Five Directions Formation of the Primordial Chaos was operating at full capacity.
"not good!"
"Stop it!"
The demon cultivators, hastily preparing for battle, roared in anger, unleashing the light of their various spiritual treasures and their innate divine abilities, colliding with the torrent of sword rain.
However, against the suppression of the innate grand formation and the full force of Taibai's law-based sword rain, ordinary resistance was as fragile as paper.
In just one round of attacks, all the demon cultivators who dared to break out of their protective formations were wiped out, and their true spirits were sent straight to the Investiture of the Gods.
Such a horrific scene terrified the demons behind them.
The cultivators still inside the protective array dared not cross the line.
Just as the remaining demons thought the attack had temporarily ceased and were still in shock, the core protective array that covered the Hundred Thousand Mountains began to shatter.
During the final battle between the Lich King and the Demon King, the Demon King's most precious treasure, the Hetu Luoshu, was lost, and the Eastern Emperor Bell also disappeared without a trace.
The Ten Thousand Demons Slaying Immortal Array that now guards the Ten Thousand Mountains was set up by Gui Che, Bai Ze, and others who were lucky enough to survive.
This formation might be impregnable against ordinary powerful beings, but it proved inadequate against Taibai, who possessed numerous innate spiritual treasures and was on the path of the Primordial Golden Immortal.
Hang in there!
Several fierce roars echoed from within the formation as demonic power surged forth in an attempt to repair the cracks.
However, it was too late.
"Boom!!!"
The enormous light curtain that had shrouded the Hundred Thousand Mountains for countless years finally reached its limit and shattered completely under the continuous pressure of the Five Directions Innate Array.
Immediately following, Taibai's second wave of law sword rain, which had been gathering momentum for a long time, poured in mercilessly through the broken formation gap.
This time, there was no longer any overall formation to buffer the attack.
"Ugh!"
"Gather quickly!"
The screams and howls rang out again, more intense and desperate than before.
Many demons with lower cultivation levels or slower reactions were unable to even see what was coming before being reduced to ashes in the dazzling sword light, their bodies and souls extinguished.
A thick, pungent smell of blood shot into the sky, mixing with the original demonic aura to form a nauseating dark red mist.
Taibai's attack lasted for a full twenty breaths, with hundreds or even thousands of demon cultivators dying in each breath.
The sword energy crisscrossed and cut, cleaving majestic mountain peaks in half.
At the foot of the mountain, in the valley, thick layers of corpses were piled up, and blood flowed like streams.
As the sword light gradually faded and the killing intent subsided, a glance revealed that the once lush and verdant outer area of the Ten Thousand Mountains was now a scene of devastation.
However, in the center of that devastation, a solid radiance still stood stubbornly upright.
With several of the most powerful demon cultivators at the core, demon cultivators at the Golden Immortal level and above gathered their strength to create a final defensive perimeter, barely managing to withstand this wave of attacks.
At the core, the figures of Lu Ya and Bai Ze can be vaguely seen.
Still shaken and panting, the demons looked at the white-clad figure high in the sky with eyes full of resentment.
Bai Ze suppressed his surging blood and anger, stepped out from the crowd, and looked up at Tai Bai.
"Fellow Daoist, what grudge do we, the demon race, hold against you? Why do you commit such an act of extermination, so cruelly killing us?"
Taibai glanced at Bai Ze casually, condensed a wisp of true solar fire, and threw it downwards and towards the outer edge of the great formation.
In an instant, nearly half of the territory of the Ten Thousand Mountains was ignited by real fire.
When Lu Ya and the others saw that Taibai had actually used the True Fire of the Sun, their expressions changed in shock and disbelief.
"I have come here solely to protect myself. Hand over the Seven Arrows of Nailhead immediately, or the Ten Thousand Mountains will be awash in blood today!"
The moment the words "Seven Arrows of Nailhead" were uttered, Lu Ya and Bai Ze were once again shocked.
These cursed treasures are known to no one today except for these two.
"My demon race has no such item, fellow Daoist, please return."
"Bai Ze, this is not a discussion, but an order!"
Before he finished speaking, Taibai's Gengjin sword energy condensed again between his fingers and slashed outwards in an instant.
"what!"
A scream rang out, and yet another demon cultivator fell.
"From this moment forward, for every breath that passes without the Seven Arrows of Nailhead, I will slay a demon."
"Fellow Daoist, are you not afraid of dishonoring the dignity of the Sage by bullying others with such power?"
Bai Ze questioned him sharply, but Tai Bai ignored him.
In the blink of an eye, nine more demons fell to the ground.
"It's alright. There are countless demons in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. I can kill them for more than ten days."
"Please turn around, baby!"
Lu Ya could no longer restrain himself and summoned the Immortal-Slaying Gourd. A flying knife shot out from the gourd, heading straight for Tai Bai.
Although this treasure is powerful, Lu Ya is only a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and cannot fully unleash its power.
With a flick of his sleeve, Taibai deflected the flying knife.
At the same time, Bai Ze could no longer tolerate it and, despite knowing he was no match for him, still stepped forward.
If Taibai is allowed to continue his slaughter, the demon race will surely fall into disarray.
Although Taibai swore not to kill Bai Ze, he could still seal and imprison him.
So, as he knocked away the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, he summoned the Heaven-Swallowing Treasure Bottle, and with a swift movement, captured Bai Ze into the bottle.
Under his careful control, Bai Ze's life is safe.
"Alright, Fellow Daoist Lu Ya, now it's just the two of us. You know these subordinates can't stop me. Hand over the Seven Arrows of Nailhead, and I'll leave immediately."
With that, Taibai waved his hand, and dozens more demon cultivators were annihilated by the sword energy.
"Fellow Daoist, aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by all living beings in the primordial world for indiscriminately killing innocent people?"
