"We demon beasts were originally destined to sweep across the eight directions and become the supreme beings of this world. However, ever since the human race attacked this place, our status has plummeted. Now, so many of our companions have been slaughtered by these lowly humans!"
"We demon races are invincible, the masters of this world!"
"Kill him, avenge our brethren!"
At this moment, a furious roar echoed through the air.
These demon beasts were all filled with extreme anger. They had always occupied their own territory in this place, but they never expected to face a catastrophe of such magnitude.
The reason was simple: the human race had invaded their territory.
And their territory, which rightfully belonged to them, had been plundered clean by the human race.
Naturally, they were filled with immense rage, wishing they could immediately march back and annihilate the human race completely.
However, they knew that this was merely a wishful thought. They could not possibly act on it, because after this battle, their territory would be completely occupied by the human race, and they would no longer possess such a peaceful land.
"These damned humans!"
"Kill!"
"We absolutely cannot give up, we must reclaim our territory!"
"We must fight back and kill all those humans!"
The fury of these demon beasts was completely ignited. At this moment, they felt that the threat posed by the human race far surpassed their imagination.
The human race had become their mortal enemy.
If they could not completely eliminate the human race, then they themselves would be exterminated by the human race. At that time, all of them, the demon beasts, would become fish on a chopping block.
And they had to convey this news to the Demon Emperor, to request the Demon Emperor to issue an order and dispatch powerful individuals to exterminate the human race!
The Demon Emperor was the strongest being in this world. They believed that the Demon Emperor would surely agree to their plea and destroy this world.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Zhou Yan was also in seclusion, recovering from his injuries.
This time, he had truly given his all. Not only were his injuries severe, but even the power of the laws within his body had been depleted.
For these past few days, Zhou Yan's injuries had not healed, so he could only recuperate in this cave.
...
Time flew by in the blink of an eye, and two months had passed.
"Finally recovered!"
Zhou Yan opened his eyes, a sharp killing intent bursting forth from them. "This battle has yielded quite a lot. This high-grade pill is enough to allow me to reach the peak of the second level of the Spiritual Emperor realm in a short period. As for the demon cores from this world, I can refine a batch of potent elixirs."
Zhou Yan thought to himself. Then, he took out several pieces of paper from his embrace. These papers were a map he had obtained from the memory of a demon king, detailing the situation of this planet.
In addition, there was another map, pertaining to Spiritual Emperor demon cores.
After examining this map, a smile appeared on Zhou Yan's lips. He then stood up directly, walked out of the cave, and headed straight for the northern part of the Spiritual Martial Continent, which was precisely the location of the headquarters of the Spiritual Martial Academy.
Without any hesitation, Zhou Yan immediately employed his movement technique, heading towards the direction of the Spiritual Martial Academy.
The Spiritual Martial Academy was incredibly vast across the entire Spiritual Martial Continent, and its headquarters covered an expansive area, spanning tens of thousands of kilometers.
Within this vast, boundless land, the Spiritual Martial Academy occupied more than half of the territory. This territory was divided into four major regions: east, west, north, and south. Each region was ruled by a different faction. In the center of these four regions was the largest area, which housed a demon beast dynasty.
The name of this dynasty was Spiritual Martial City. The scale of this city was immeasurably larger than the Demon King's Palace, even surpassing that of Spiritual King City. The power of Spiritual King City was also immense, capable of rivaling a demon beast dynasty!
And Spiritual Martial City was Zhou Yan's target.
What Zhou Yan intended to do now was to find the Spiritual Emperor demon cores within Spiritual Martial City!
At this moment, Zhou Yan's speed increased even further. Not long after, he arrived at the entrance of Spiritual Martial City and then directly flew in, heading towards the city.
The guards of Spiritual Martial City clearly recognized Zhou Yan. Therefore, when Zhou Yan entered, they did not stop him. Instead, they respectfully said, "Senior, please present your identification token."
Zhou Yan casually glanced at the guard, then took out a token from his storage bag and handed it to the guard, saying, "I am from an outer region, a cultivator from another continent. You should have seen this token. It will allow me to enter."
The guard looked at the token and immediately nodded, saying, "I see. Senior, please follow me."
As he spoke, he led the way, and Zhou Yan slowly followed.
A short while later, Zhou Yan, guided by the guard, entered Spiritual Martial City.
"Hmm? Why is it so lively here?"
Upon entering Spiritual Martial City, Zhou Yan immediately sensed an incredibly bustling atmosphere permeating the city streets, which surprised him. He couldn't help but ask.
At this moment, the escorting guard smiled and replied, "The rules of Spiritual Martial City dictate that it will open in three days. It is currently dinnertime, right?"
Hearing the guard's explanation, Zhou Yan finally understood.
So that was why it was so lively.
However, with hundreds of billions of inhabitants residing in Spiritual Martial City, such a massive influx of people would indeed cause a stir, which was not surprising.
"Where are all you people from?" the guard suddenly asked, his face filled with excitement.
They were all from various parts of this continent, but they felt no sense of belonging. This was because their homes were no longer inhabited by their loved ones, and they wandered this world like lost souls.
Therefore, they yearned to leave this place, but they knew that their lives would inevitably become incredibly difficult if they did. This was why they chose to stay.
They wanted to remain here and seek a glimmer of hope!
Zhou Yan looked at the guard and said, "I am from a small family in the Eastern Region. Our patriarch is named Zhou Hu. Our ancestors once settled here. Later, my parents departed, and now I am the only one left."
