“Feng, we can finally go home now.”
Feng Boping’s gaze was complex as he took a deep look at him, “Yes, we can go home now…”
…
Meanwhile, in the Holy Capital Imperial City of Dayu State.
Everywhere there were wails and cries, the ground littered with blood and corpses.
The majestic imperial city, standing for thousands of years, was now stained red with blood. The moat that once encircled the city, its waters originally clear, had turned blood-red, with corpses of well-armored soldiers and demons floating within.
The battlements had crumbled, and the city walls were torn with huge gaps.
In the sky, figures were fleeing, but were pursued by the Demon King, viciously torn apart.

Many buildings within the city were destroyed and burned, the corpses of civilians were everywhere, and the casualties were heavy—all throughout the city there were cries of anguish!
This, the strongest and most fortified city in the world, equipped with the mightiest array, the Xuantian Divine Emperor Formation!
But now, this array had already been breached.
However, it was not breached by the Demon King from the outside, but rather by several generals of the Chen family inside the imperial city, who colluded from within. They had pre-emptively bribed insiders and, due to members of their family working in the Heavenly Observatory, they were familiar with the renowned Xuantian Divine Emperor Formation. They damaged the array patterns, rendering it inoperative.
Indeed, the Chen family, one of the five great Divine General Mansions, usually kept to themselves, but at this moment, they had betrayed!
Without the protection of the array, the entire city was exposed to the demons. Despite the city’s garrison of a million-strong army stationed there year-round, without the array’s protection, the demons’ attacks were relentless, quickly causing widespread casualties amid the fighting.
At the first sign of the attack, the imperial city urgently employed the Eight Directions Banner to call for reinforcements from all sides.
But although the Eight Directions Banner was fast, the city’s fall was faster.
Many elders living in seclusion within the imperial city also emerged to fight, their numbers shockingly over thirty.
But what they faced were a black-robed young man and a purple-streaked graceful woman from the Tao Comprehension Realm. The battle did not last long, and they were quickly slain, only a few managing to escape everywhere.
The two in black robes casually slaughtered around, commanding the elders from various demonic forces to cleanse the city of the Human Race, intending to completely annihilate them.
Almost all of the million-strong army defending the city had perished.
Under their destruction from the Tao Comprehension Realm, the million-strong army was as if nonexistent, torn apart and pushed across, their conjured battle spirits not even roaring before they were cleaved apart, the gap was too great.
Even Demon Kings from the Ultimate Study Realm were not capable of such swift devastation, but those from the Tao Comprehension Realm, with just their Dao Domain, could easily sweep through these troops.
The pair freely slaughtered within the city, unopposed by any top powers, as if in a game.
At this moment, the entire Imperial Palace was a sight of devastation, with many buildings shattered.
The Imperial Palace also housed the Xuantian Divine Emperor Formation, but this time it was destroyed by a strong attack.
The divine emperor apparitions conjured by the array, not long into the fight, were rapidly torn apart, and the array shattered.
Boom! Boom!
Two hiding elders suddenly burst apart.
The black-robed young man swiftly flew over, glanced at them, casually took them into his own Heaven and Earth Space, planning to use them as snacks later.
Then, his gaze shifted towards the Imperial Palace above, his eyes turning grave and wary.
Fierce fighting erupted there, the air filled with extraordinary phenomena. With wind, rain, and thunder roaring, it was a battlefield of the Dao Law Realm, where a word could bring forth life, and laws followed the word. It was not a place they, of the Enlightened Truth Realm, could easily step into.
However, the figures fighting there were not the elderly Demon Sheep Venerable with a walking stick, but five or six young figures.
They acted casually, even chatting and joking with each other, but their attacks were fiercely powerful, stirring up a terrifying force.
Boom!
A figure plummeted and crashed onto the plaza, his robe torn and his appearance horribly disheveled.
His body was drenched in blood, staining his robe red.
As he struggled to his feet, a youth softly uttered the word “suppress,” causing the old man to fall back to the ground, the earth beneath him rapidly cracking, spreading like a spider’s web in every direction.
Facing six opponents, his body was nearly shattered.
“True Person…”
On the side of the plaza, dozens of figures stood, unharmed but daring not to move.
Earlier, someone had attempted a desperate struggle, but with just a single word softly spoken by one of the youths, his body exploded.
He didn’t even have a chance to defy fate, nor could his Divine Soul escape, meeting direct death.
Others continued their desperate efforts, but with several words in succession, everyone who tried to resist had their bodies explode without exception.
Among them were even top hidden experts from the Grand Tao of Peace Realm!
Such an immense gap made them all acutely aware of the terrifying difference between the Four Stands Realm and the Tao Comprehension Realm.
Despair enveloped everyone; they could only pin their hopes on that True Person.
The playful youths had previously said to let the True Person join them for fun, sparing one person’s life for every attack he could withstand.
These terrifying individuals, who had appeared out of nowhere, treated this massacre as a mere amusement!
However, now that the True Person had made a move, despite the fierce battle, he was clearly at a disadvantage, not only failing to kill any of them but now seeming to be utterly defeated.
Despair, fear, grief, and reluctance enveloped every face.
The Divine Dynasty had stood for thousands of years, and this most majestic and sacred place was easily breached and trampled by these invaders.
Yet, in the face of absolute power, they couldn’t even muster the ability to resist.
It was like ants, diligently at work, suddenly finding themselves crushed by a giant foot stomping down without warning, reducing all their efforts and endeavors to dust!
Mere ants!
Everyone felt like they were mere ants.
“Is my Dayu Divine Dynasty… going to perish?”
Standing on the plaza were all those who had come from various places to reinforce, only to be captured.
Xia Linglong, Xia Yuanwu, and Li Muxiu were among them.
The Wang family and others had not yet arrived, for they were farthest from the Imperial Capital.
When Xia Linglong and the others arrived, they thought it would be a showdown relying on the Array, but instead, they were met with the dire scenes throughout the city.
Before these six terrifying young men and women, the city’s army and Imperial Guard were easily slaughtered, and the Array was torn apart, the Imperial Palace captured in less than half a day.
The power and foundation they had accumulated over many years seemed meaningless before these six dreadful young men and women.
Near the battlefield, the Demon Sheep Venerable, holding a cane, also felt apprehensive.
Since the Saint Heir last mentioned going to kill that young man and returned without telling them the result, just asking them to wait…
And today, they waited only to face six Gods of Slaughter, all horrific monsters.
But he understood that the Saint Heir must have also paid a great price. Although the situation was now under control, the expression on the Saint Heir’s face did not seem to reflect any joy.
