The Great Luo formation was shattered, and the withered black creatures within swarmed out. In an instant, the entire space region expanded by hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. More withered black creatures continuously emerged from the miniature spatial passage.
The ten Taiyi Golden Immortals of the Immortal-Demon Great Universe roared in fury.
"Villain! How dare you destroy the Great Luo formation!"
The ten Taiyi Golden Immortals attacked Yi Yuan Demon Lord.
Seeing the ten Taiyi Golden Immortals charging at him, Yi Yuan Demon Lord did not intend to fight them. Instead, he turned and fled into the midst of the withered black creatures.
As the ten Taiyi Golden Immortals from the Immortal-Demon Great Universe attacked, ten Taiyi Golden Immortal-level withered black creatures moved forward to engage them.
After a brief exchange of blows, both sides retreated.
The ten Taiyi Golden Immortal-level withered black creatures then communicated with Yi Yuan Demon Lord telepathically.
"People of the Immortal-Demon Great Universe, welcome to our withered black creatures. Was that pearl given to you by a Great Luo?"
"Did the Great Luo have any instructions?"
Yi Yuan Demon Lord understood the telepathic messages of these withered black creatures perfectly. This was because the pearl in his hand had already infused the language of the withered black creature universe into his consciousness.
In fact, even without the infusion of knowledge and language, Yi Yuan Demon Lord could have understood the withered black creatures. After all, Yi Yuan Demon Lord was a Taiyi Golden Immortal. He had learned much about the withered black creatures while fighting them at the main spatial passage.
Normally, a Taiyi Golden Immortal like Yi Yuan Demon Lord should have been able to learn the language of another race instantly. However, due to the obstruction of inter-universal forces, Yi Yuan Demon Lord had spent considerable time learning their language.
Yi Yuan Demon Lord looked at the withered black creatures and flew into their midst, holding out the pearl. "From now on, I will be in command here."
The pearl in Yi Yuan Demon Lord's hand emitted a black light. The ten Taiyi Golden Immortal-level withered black creatures around him immediately submitted.
At this moment, another flash of light appeared from the miniature spatial passage, and two new Taiyi Golden Immortal-level withered black creatures emerged.
The ten withered black creatures communicated telepathically with the two newcomers. The two new Taiyi Golden Immortal-level withered black creatures immediately understood that Yi Yuan Demon Lord was their current leader.
After the two emerged, the miniature spatial passage prepared to release even more Taiyi Golden Immortal-level withered black creatures.
Yi Yuan Demon Lord commanded, "Kill them."
Twelve Taiyi Golden Immortal-level withered black creatures immediately flew up to attack the original ten Taiyi Golden Immortals.
Yi Yuan Demon Lord stood and observed. During the battle, the thirteenth Taiyi Golden Immortal-level withered black creature emerged.
Without the suppression of the Great Luo formation, the Taiyi Golden Immortals emerging from the miniature spatial passage were no longer limited in number.
Yi Yuan Demon Lord had made a deal with a Great Luo Golden Immortal-level existence among the withered black creatures. He would destroy the Great Luo formation outside the miniature spatial passage, and in return, the Great Luo of the withered black creatures would help him ascend to the Great Luo level.
The temptation of becoming a Great Luo existence was immense for Yi Yuan Demon Lord. He had thus betrayed the Immortal-Demon Great Universe, as his greed for power far outweighed his feelings for his home universe.
After a fierce battle, the ten Taiyi Golden Immortals of the Immortal-Demon Great Universe were annihilated one by one. The ordinary Immortals around them were also slaughtered by the withered black creatures from the withered black universe.
When only five Taiyi Golden Immortals remained on the Immortal-Demon Great Universe side, they knew they could not continue this way.
"Escape! All of you, jump! I will stay here to cover your retreat. Hurry and inform the Great Luo Golden Immortals of what has happened."
Yi Yuan Demon Lord sneered, "Heh heh... Do you think you can still escape? Attack!"
The withered black creatures swarmed forward, killing the remaining five Taiyi Golden Immortals of the Immortal-Demon Great Universe.
By then, the surrounding area had become a dead zone. The nearby planet was already overrun by hundreds of millions of withered black creatures. There had been many cultivators on the planet, but they were all killed by the withered black creatures. Even the ordinary people were annihilated. Not a single intelligent life form remained on the planet. The black substance emanating from these withered black creatures had dyed the entire planet black. Even the plants on the planet, upon contact with this black substance, withered and died.
The withered black creatures did not stop there. Under Yi Yuan Demon Lord's guidance, they used the planet's teleportation arrays to travel to other locations and wreak havoc on other planets.
The Immortals who had managed to escape to other planets had only just delivered the news to the next planet before being pursued by the withered black creatures using teleportation arrays.
With the Great Luo formation's suppression gone, the withered black creatures emerged from the miniature spatial passage at an ever-increasing rate.
In this star domain, one planet after another was destroyed by the withered black creatures.
After some initial command, Yi Yuan Demon Lord became like a commander of these withered black creatures, directing their spread like a plague towards other regions.
The black energy from the pearl given to Yi Yuan Demon Lord by a Great Luo among the withered black creatures was depleted by more than ninety percent after destroying one Great Luo formation. Therefore, Yi Yuan Demon Lord knew that the pearl could no longer be used to destroy another Great Luo Golden Immortal-level formation. He then conceived of a plan to continuously expand the withered black creatures' power, hoping to use the sheer numbers of one to two hundred Taiyi Golden Immortal-level withered black creatures to destroy other miniature spatial passages.
Yi Yuan Demon Lord's actions were eventually discovered by the Dragon Country.
On the main spatial passage, the Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Immortal-Demon Great Universe learned of this several days later. It was an Immortal who, after traveling through space non-stop and depleting all the spirit stones he possessed, reached the main battlefield and reported this critical information.
The Taiyi Golden Immortal who received the report initially refused to believe it. However, after the Immortal presented the visualized memories, the Taiyi Golden Immortal had no choice but to believe.
The Taiyi Golden Immortal immediately reported to a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
The Great Luo Golden Immortal of the Immortal-Demon Great Universe was furious and immediately ordered a group of Taiyi Golden Immortals to eliminate Yi Yuan Demon Lord!
