412: Chapter 411: Without Rules, There’s No Standards 412: Chapter 411: Without Rules, There’s No Standards “Second,” even though demons have a bloodthirst, it is merely a craving for food.

Their cultivation still relies on nature’s spiritual energy and the essence of the sun and moon.

From now on, I will not tolerate demons eating humans.

Should I discover a demon feasting on humans, do not blame me for casting them into the Netherworld Fire Purgatory, entrapping their souls for eternity.”

“Third, within three days, gather all the Demon Kings of Heavenly Ridge here, for I have an announcement to make.”

As the three commands were issued one by one, it stunned the eight great Demon Kings and numerous demons; difficulty was written on everyone’s face.

The first command of Ye Xuan was manageable, merely altering the environment of Heavenly Ridge, but the second command to forbid demons from consuming humans proved to be extremely challenging.

Bear in mind, not only in Heavenly Ridge but across the entire Northern Continent, which demon does not feast on humans?

Even if the eight great Demon Kings led by example and tried imposing this ban, the deeply ingrained habits of many years could not be simply curtailed.

The third command of Ye Xuan posed even more difficulty.

Heavenly Ridge covered millions of miles.

Though it is controlled by the nine great Demon Kings, in reality, several great demons reside within, merely cooperating with the nine great Demon Kings.

Take, for instance, the desolate swamp spanning millions of miles, the territory of the Swallowing Heaven Toad, a primordial exotic species.

Although merely on the level of a Luotian Golden Immortal, its innate divine ability is exceedingly fearsome; even the former Blood God King was reluctant to offend it.

There is also the eighty thousand miles White Bone Forest, the domain of a White Bone Demon, where any creature entering is bound to die; even the demons of Heavenly Ridge dare not enter lightly.

In the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the Chi Yan Heavenly Corpse holds dominion, endless undead and zombies under its command, and it is said to soon become a Daluo, transforming into the fearsome Drought.

These three great demons, independent and aloof, though residing in Heavenly Ridge, are not under the command of the nine great Demon Kings, but merely partners.

The Blood God King once tried to subjugate the three but ultimately returned without success.

It wasn’t that the Blood God King feared the three great demons, rather, the battle proved too costly.

Moreover, should anything significant occur in Heavenly Ridge, these three great demons would naturally lend their aid, forming the current power structure over tens of thousands of years.

Of course, the arrival of Ye Xuan also disrupted the tranquility of Heavenly Ridge.

The Blood God King perished by his hand, and Ye Xuan being extremely domineering, being the master of Heavenly Ridge, would never allow those who resist his control to exist within Heavenly Ridge.

“Brother, you are unaware of some things, please let me explain,” Qingqiu King said, bowing slightly.

He slowly informed Ye Xuan of the situation in Heavenly Ridge, and the rest of the Demon Kings occasionally agreed, clearly showing that Ye Xuan’s three commands really troubled everyone.

As Qingqiu King finished speaking, Ye Xuan’s face remained calm, showing no change, but his eyes darkly swept over the eight great Demon Kings, his voice stern, “You better remember, no one can defy my will.

If those three great demons refuse to obey, I will make them comply.

As for the first two commands, I want you to complete them within three days.

If you fail to accomplish what I have tasked you with, you should know what consequences await!”

As Ye Xuan stood up, the White Bone Throne beneath him turned to dust, the surrounding void twisted violently, and the faint killing intent that emerged pressed down on the eight great Demon Kings, causing them to sweat profusely and bow their heads to accept the order, daring not to show the slightest resistance.

“Go, I want to see results within three days.”

“Yes, brother.”

The eight Great Demon Kings wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, exchanged glances, and hastily set out to follow orders.

Clearly, they also knew that Ye Xuan was not merely talking; if they failed to complete the tasks assigned by Ye Xuan, they truly might end up dead by his hand.

Martial suppression, irresistible, Ye Xuan did not care whether the eight Great Demon Kings harbored anger or resentment, anyone who dared to defy his will would simply be slaughtered.

…

Three days passed, an extremely brief period.

The eight Great Demon Kings fully executed Ye Xuan’s commands, and within these three days, Heavenly Ridge underwent earth-shaking changes.

Firstly, the Nine Demon Cave was completely transformed, wiped flat by the group of demons.

The foul stench of the Blood Pool was destroyed; the scattered bones were swept clean.

Under Ye Xuan’s orders, a large amount of Spirit Essence vegetation was planted, giving the area a clean and refreshing feel, turning it into a paradise.

Mountains were dug through, and roads built, rivers were rerouted.

Ancient, sturdy pines were planted all around Heavenly Ridge, the once blood-soaked land completely leveled, and fresh flowers and Spirit Grass were planted on it.

The eight Great Demon Kings personally used their powers to summon winds and call forth rains to irrigate the land, revitalizing Heavenly Ridge in just one day.

The endless demons found it intolerable, having to organize Heavenly Ridge over three days; not only were they required to destroy the scattered bones, but they also had to release captured humans.

Fed on the juice-filled Spirit Fruit for sustenance, this caused the group of demons to curse under their breath, but under the suppression of the eight Great Demon Kings, they could only feel anger without daring to speak out.

When the morning sun of the fourth day rose, Ye Xuan stood atop Heavenly Peak, his face revealing a look of satisfaction.

Vegetation covered the mountains, Spirit Grass was everywhere, the fragrance of grass and woods floated through the mountains, and even demon lights and spiritual energy wafted between them—truly transforming it into a blessed Lingshan.

The once poor and evil water-filled mountain was no more, and now Heavenly Ridge was truly transformed.

Although Ye Xuan felt satisfied, for the group of demons, it was extremely uncomfortable; being demons, they preferred blood and decay, and the new environment of Heavenly Ridge was simply unbearable for them.

Of course, Ye Xuan was well aware of the demons’ dissatisfaction, but he did not care at all.

Anyone who dared defy his orders would only end up having their bones crushed and scattered by Ye Xuan.

Moreover, during these three days, Ye Xuan had not been idle.

He wandered around Heavenly Ridge and found some demons secretly devouring humans; their fates were all ended by Ye Xuan, their souls scattered and extinguished.

It wasn’t just one demon, but entire clans.

For example, a Snake Demon who was caught feasting on humans by Ye Xuan, belonged to a clan of over a hundred thousand; under Ye Xuan’s Immortal Technique, all were reduced to ashes and smoke.

Of course, Ye Xuan was not sympathetic towards humans; his sympathy had long been cast aside.

He merely disliked demons eating humans, which disgusted him, and that was the sole reason.

Even a mosquito is flesh after all, though the cultivation of these hundred thousand demons was weak, when taken together, they were better than nothing and were directly devoured by Ye Xuan using his Tribulation Immortal Skill.

During these three days, if it could be said that Ye Xuan was ruthless, it was more accurate to say he was picking trouble with the group of demons.

A slightest mistake meant death for them and their entire clan.

Also, because of Ye Xuan’s ruthless and horrifying methods, millions of demons died at his hands over these three days, earning Ye Xuan the title of Tyrant.

Although the group of demons had grievances, there was a positive aspect—no demons dared to defy the orders issued by Ye Xuan anymore, clearly, Ye Xuan’s terror had driven them to extreme fear.
