The wind carpet carried thousands of warriors towards Demon Cave Number One. The closer they got to that area, the thicker and heavier the air became, as if immersed in solidified ink.Cold sweat seeped from the warriors' palms, and their breathing grew increasingly rapid. Their earlier worries about the First Battalion and Third Battalion had long been overshadowed by their own fear. Compared to Demon Cave Number Two, they were about to face an existence ten times more terrifying.The number of demons in Demon Cave Number One exceeded ten thousand, and more critically, there were at least ten Rank Six Demon entrenched within it.Even with Commander Yan Song possessing a Golden Bloodline and another Rank 6 Soul Master to back him up, the two of them would still be facing five times their number in high-rank demons."Does the Commander really have a plan?" A young warrior gripped his battle saber, his voice trembling. The veteran beside him said nothing, only his Adam's apple bobbed.They knew that Yan Song's decision surely had his reasons, but facing such a formidable array, even the firmest belief was bound to waver.At this moment, Yan Song stood at the very front of the wind carpet, a golden-red aura circulating around his body, his gaze fixed on the valley ahead, shrouded in demonic energy, showing no ripple of emotion.When the wind carpet pierced through the last layer of demonic energy clouds, all the warriors gasped, and even Yan Song's pupils contracted slightly.Demon Cave Number One was not a "cave" at all, but a giant valley hollowed out by demonic energy.In the center of the valley, a demonic rift that pierced through heaven and earth pulsated violently, like the open throat of a giant beast. Thick, ink-like demonic energy flowed within the rift, occasionally churning with dark purple lightning, and at times spewing out gray mist with a hint of sulfur. The surrounding space was twisted into bizarre arcs, and even sunlight could not penetrate that area, only casting a pale halo at its edges.That was the demonic rift—the source from which demons continuously emerged. At this moment, it was like a beating heart, each pulsation causing the concentration of demonic energy between heaven and earth to surge.The rocks around the rift had long been corroded into a grayish-black, and the ground was covered with bottomless ravines, flowing with highly poisonous dark green viscous liquid. Occasionally, a low-rank demon would lose its footing and fall, instantly corroded into a wisp of black smoke by the liquid.What was even more unsettling was the horde of demons around the rift.Tens of thousands of demons covered the entire valley like a tide. Bone-winged demons circled in the low sky, the shadows cast by their flapping wings obscuring the sun; a dozen Flesh Rot Demons, their bodies comparable to small mountains, lay on the ground, tearing at the corpses of their kin, dark green blood flowing down their folds, forming putrid streams on the ground; countless clawed demons weaved through them, their sharp claws scraping against the rocks, emitting an ear-splitting noise.The aura of the Rank Six Demon was like dormant volcanoes, scattered among them—the steel demon wolf, over ten meters long, was licking its claws, each claw tip gleaming with metallic cold light.A Medusa, with a snake body and human face, coiled at the edge of the rift, her golden scales shimmering in the demonic energy, her gaze sweeping across, as if even the air would solidify.Three lava giants stood side by side, magma flowing on their exposed skin, each breath exhaling scorching hot air currents.The roars of tens of thousands of demons converged into a low-frequency hum, making the wind carpet tremble slightly. The warriors' hands, gripping their weapons, couldn't help but shake.Some even instinctively took a half-step back, bumping into their comrades behind them.Yan Song slowly raised his hand, the light of his Golden Bloodline suddenly intensified: "Steady."The two words were like a clap of thunder, overpowering the distant demon roars.The warriors took a deep breath, looking at their Commander's tall back, and finally tightened their grip on their weapons—no matter what kind of hell lay ahead, they had no retreat.Deep within the demonic rift, a terrifying presence seemed to be startled by this external spiritual energy, and a muffled roar faintly echoed, causing the entire valley to tremble slightly.Hoo~~From the shadows beneath the wind carpet, hundreds of flying demons suddenly surged out. Bone-winged demons spread their wings, obscuring the sky, their claws gleaming with cold light. Swarms of spectral bats, like a black tide, shrieked and crashed into the warriors' spiritual energy shields. Several Rank 5 Wind Whisperer Demons even manipulated wind blades that ripped through the air, slashing towards the center of the wind carpet."Defend!"With a command, the warriors simultaneously unleashed their spiritual energy.Earth-element cultivators summoned thick rock barriers, enveloping the wind carpet, while fire mages °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° conjured fire dragons, colliding with the wind blades in a shower of sparks. Melee warriors, meanwhile, swung their weapons, cleaving any bone-winged demons that slipped through into pieces, the brilliance of their martial arts erupting into a dazzling curtain of light at the edge of the wind carpet.In the chaos, Yan Song stood at the very front of the wind carpet, his robes billowing in the strong wind, his face terrifyingly calm. He gazed at the increasingly close demon horde below and said softly:"It's your turn."No sooner had he spoken than the ruby ring on his fingertip suddenly glowed with an eerie red light."Buzz—"Spiritual energy, like a bursting dam, surged frantically into the ring. The patterns on the ruby's surface instantly lit up, and the ring expanded and deformed at a visible speed. Amidst the sound of metal grinding, it transformed into a half-human-tall, fiery-red hand cannon!The muzzle spiraled inwards, and golden flames could vaguely be seen churning within, as if an infernal giant beast was poised to strike. Vein-like energy patterns pulsed on the cannon's body, and the intense heat it emitted distorted the surrounding air.On the wind carpet, the warriors instinctively took a half-step back, their skin stinging from the heat, and even their spiritual energy shields crackled under the heatwave."What is that?" A warrior exclaimed in surprise, watching Yan Song raise the menacing hand cannon with one arm, its muzzle aimed directly at Demon Cave Number One below.At that moment, the demons on the ground suddenly became agitated. The destructive aura emanating from the hand cannon made them instinctively feel the threat of death.A dozen Rank Six Demon simultaneously awoke. The steel demon wolf's claws scraped sparks from the rock wall, the Medusa's golden scales bristled like arrows.The lava giants even opened their mouths and spewed out hundred-meter-high pillars of fire, attempting to interfere with the target in the sky—But it was too late.Yan Song's arm muscles bulged, the light of his Golden Bloodline intertwined with the red glow of the hand cannon. The golden flames at the muzzle suddenly converged, forming a point of extremely condensed, scorching light beam."Burning Heaven—Purgatory!"He roared and pressed the menacing trigger on the hand cannon.The warriors on the wind carpet only felt a blinding white light suddenly erupt before their eyes, followed by an ear-splitting roar—the fiery-red hand cannon in Yan Song's hand had already unleashed a destructive torrent!The light beam was initially only as thick as a tree trunk, but in the instant it shot out, it swelled into a hundred-meter-diameter fire dragon. The heatwave spewed from the muzzle tilted the wind carpet by thirty degrees, and the armor of the front-row warriors instantly scorched.Wherever the light pillar passed, the air was compressed into a visible shockwave. The flying demons in its path didn't even have time to scream before they turned to dust in the intense light, leaving not even a wisp of black smoke."Boom—!!!"The moment the light pillar slammed into Demon Cave Number One, the entire valley seemed to be gripped by an invisible giant hand, then brutally crushed!First, a nuclear-bomb-like mushroom cloud erupted in the central area, with fiery-gold flames mixed with dark green demonic energy shooting straight into the sky, dyeing the sky a bizarre dark purple.Immediately after, the shockwave spread in a ring. Wherever it passed, all rocks within a thousand meters turned to dust, and mountains ten thousand meters away trembled. The warriors on the wind carpet were thrown off balance by the air current, desperately clinging to the edge of the wind carpet to avoid being flung off.The tens of thousands of demons on the ground were like ants before this light pillar that pierced through heaven and earth.The Rank 6 steel demon wolf had just tried to pounce towards the sky when it was cut in half by the torrent of flames, its steel-like bones melting into ash in the high temperature; the Medusa's golden scales instantly lost their luster, her snake body and the surrounding rocks vaporized together; the three lava giants didn't even have time to release lava before they were swallowed by the intense light, and even the ground beneath them was scorched to a glassy sheen.Even more terrifying was the pulsating demonic rift, which let out a shrill scream the instant the light pillar touched it. The space at the edge of the rift peeled away in layers like shattered glass.The demonic energy that had been continuously gushing out was forced back by the flames, and the rift violently contracted in the intense light, as if being forcibly squeezed shut by an invisible hand, finally disappearing completely in a muffled Explosion.The Explosion lasted for a full stick of incense.When the light finally dispersed, a giant crater, over five kilometers in diameter, had appeared below, with crimson magma flowing at the bottom. The rocks at the edge were scorched into obsidian by the high temperature, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder and melting metal.Demon Cave Number One, once teeming with tens of thousands of demons, was now only a steaming giant pit. Even the toughest demon bones had turned to ash at the bottom of the pit.The wind carpet in the sky still trembled slightly. The warriors stared dumbfounded at the infernal scene below, many with their mouths agape but unable to utter a sound, their hands gripping their weapons trembling uncontrollably.Yan Song slowly lowered the smoking hand cannon, and the ruby ring retracted back to his fingertip. A morbid flush appeared on his pale face. Gazing at the crater below, the corner of his mouth curved into a wild and insane smile.
