Chapter 311 The Scheme of the Heavenly Demon_2
...
"Boss, where do we go now?" came the message from the Buddha Child within the Time Tower.
"To the Zhan Family! The Zhan Family and our Wuji Dao Sect are allies. The Heavenly Demons have come suddenly and fiercely, so it's likely that the Zhan Family is also under siege." Yang Ji moved with incredible speed, transforming into a streak of light that disappeared into the horizon.
The Zhan Family was located on the Ancient Battle Continent.
This place boasted spiritual land and outstanding people, with a super dynasty that had a population exceeding ten billion.
And the Zhan Family was the hidden founder and guardian of this dynasty.
On his way there, Yang Ji encountered countless armies of Heavenly Demons. After capturing one, he executed the "Ultimate Nightmare" technique to interrogate it and learned the following:
In total, the Heavenly Demons had thirty-eight armies.
The Demon Consort led an army straight towards the strongest Dao Sect, the Heavenly Dao Sect.
Mo Wudao led an army, marching on the Tianyi Sect.
Xing Xiong, Tian Xie, and Mo Jie each led an army, heading for the Wuji Dao Sect.
Huang Ji led an army, marching on the Zangxian Observatory.
Fu Wanggu led an army against the Immortal Sword Sect.
...
The top Demon Lords among the Heavenly Demons each led an army, targeting the Ten Great Dao Sects and those Five Great Demon Sects that had not pledged allegiance to the Heavenly Demons.
That made up fifteen armies in total.
Twenty-five armies were then directed against those powerful families hidden from the world.
The remaining ten armies, under the leadership of the Ancestor of the Heavenly Demon Sect, held their ground, standing guard in all directions, ready to provide support at any moment.
After inquiring further, Yang Ji learned that one of the Heavenly Demon armies, led by someone named Hei Feng, a top Demon Lord who had crossed the Heavenly Tribulation on his own strength, had already set out towards the Zhan Family.
He wielded the power of forty-nine Demon Lords, headed straight for the Zhan Family.
By the time Yang Ji reached the Zhan Family, he found that their small world had already been shattered.
The Zhan Family Ancestor, Zhan Tang, Zhan Xiao, Zhan Wudi, and Zhan Jun—five Red Dust Immortals—were relying on their Formation, desperately trying to hold on.
As a Demon Child who had slain three Dao Calamities, Hei Feng was inherently invincible. With the power of forty-nine Demon Lords added, his might was boundlessly tyrannical.
He struck with great force, unleashed Immortal Techniques, and his Demonic Qi roared across the battlefield. Energy ripples split the sky like the earth was crumbling, shaking the Zhan Family's Formation, causing it to flicker and threatening to collapse at any moment.
"Hold on!" the Zhan Family Ancestor grunted, his face slick with sweat, as he shouted instructions.
Zhan Tang, Zhan Xiao, Zhan Wudi, and the others remained silent, their expressions icy as the Immortal Dao Principles vibrated, continuously channeling Immortal Qi into the Formation to sustain it.
"It's useless, a futile effort. You five ultimately cannot withstand my offensive. Under the attack of fifty Demon Lords, even with your Formation, you won't make it!" Hei Feng laughed loudly, his attacks growing even more ferocious.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
With each of his strikes, the Formation set up by the Zhan Family would cave in.
Yet it would quickly bulge out again.
But as time went on, after several hundred breaths, the Zhan Family's five members began to show signs of strain, their auras becoming somewhat chaotic.

Hei Feng delivered another fierce blow, and while the Formation was indented, without waiting for the Zhan Family members to replenish their magical power, he drew a long blade wrapped in Demonic Qi with a backhand.
He slashed down viciously.
With a ripping sound, the Formation immediately shattered.
The five members of the Zhan Family's faces changed drastically.
"Haha, I've been playing with you, and you really thought I couldn't break your Formation?" Hei Feng laughed heartily, wielding his Demon Blade fiercely downward, aiming to kill all five on the spot.
But with a "clang," the blade he swung down was tightly clamped by a giant hand, unable to drop any further.
The five of the Zhan Family were stunned, as was Hei Feng.
"Xing Xiong, is that you? Have you already conquered the Taichu World?"
He frowned slightly and withdrew his blade.
"Yes, it has been conquered," smiled Yang Ji, masquerading as Xing Xiong. Without warning, he launched a surprise attack, bolstered by the power of forty-nine Red Dust Immortals. A hand big enough to support the sky came crashing down violently onto Hei Feng's skull.
So sudden, so close in proximity.
Even a Profound Immortal would have met his end; Hei Feng let out a scream before exploding.
Yang Ji once again employed the Divine Abilities of the Heavenly Demons, the Ferocious Nether Slash, and sharp Sword Qi burst forth like fireworks, shooting in all directions, inflicting further damage to Hei Feng's shattered body.
Hei Feng's vitality had severely diminished, his energy deeply wounded, and his spirit listless; he couldn't believe what had just occurred and exclaimed incredulously, "Xing Xiong, why have you attacked me?"
"Because you struck my woman. This lady is my woman, Xing Xiong's woman, and yet you dared to lay a hand on her. I won't forgive you for not killing you," said Yang Ji, transformed into Xing Xiong, pointing at Zhan Tang with an air of seriousness.
"Pfft! Just for a human woman, you dealt me such a heavy blow?" Hei Feng's eyes burst forth in fury, his waning soul howling.
Zhan Tang, standing aside, also furrowed her brows.
Zhan Xiao even transmitted his voice, "Sister, when did you get involved with a Heavenly Demon?"
Zhan Tang gave him a fierce look from the corner of her eye.
"You struck my woman, who else should I hit if not you? Are you still not convinced? If you have any tricks up your sleeve in the future, let them all come at me, Xing Xiong, and I'll take them on," Yang Ji snapped without hesitation, delivering another palm strike that suppressed Hei Feng and the forty-nine Demon Lords reinforcing him.
This time, he also took them into the Time Tower, but into a different space, so they wouldn't come into contact with Xing Xiong and the others.
"Yang Ji, I, Xing Xiong, vow to slay you..." Xing Xiong, observing all this through the Time Tower, was truly so enraged that he coughed up blood, his hatred for Yang Ji nearly driving him to frenzy.
Xing Xiong could see everything outside, and it was intentional on Yang Ji's part. He did it on purpose.
Having suppressed Hei Feng and the other Demon Lords, Yang Ji then turned to slay the remaining Heavenly Demons, entrusting Shen Yin to convert their Primordial Spirits into fruit, before turning his gaze to the Zhan Family group of five, whose expressions were a mixture of shock and uncertainty.
"Are all of you alright?" he asked with a grin.
"Who are you?" Zhan Tang asked, her beautiful eyebrows slightly raised.
Zhan Xiao looked at the person before him, feeling a sense of familiarity, especially in the eyes, which seemed to hint at someone else. As his expression shifted, he blurted out, "You, you're Brother Yang?"
"It's me!" Yang Ji said with a slight smile, reverting to his original form.
Zhan Xiao had spent three hundred years with him on the Battlefield of Inheritances and was quite familiar with him. Now, he even recognized him.
Of course, that was also because Yang Ji had not purposely concealed himself.
"It really is you, Brother Yang!" Zhan Xiao exclaimed excitedly.
The rest of the Zhan Family also heaved a sigh of relief.
"We shouldn't stay here too long, enter my tower, and let's leave this place!" Yang Ji said aloud.
"Okay!" The Zhan Family's patriarch nodded, leading everyone as they flew into the Time Tower.
"Boss, where are we heading now?" The Buddha Child transmitted.
"To the Zhuge Family!" Yang Ji was about to move, his finger twitched, but then he suddenly stopped.
"I didn't expect the Zhuge Family to be prepared. They managed to escape the sudden attack of the Heavenly Demons and are now heading towards our Wuji Dao Sect."
"Hmm? Brother Hao Yun also repelled the Heavenly Demon, leading the force he established, 'Immortal Palace,' towards our sect."
"Brother Wang Tianli has also joined forces with the Baili Family and has slain the invading Heavenly Demons, rushing towards our sect."
"We'll return to the sect!"
After some calculations, Yang Ji also became aware of the situation.
Immediately, he took off as a beam of light, flying towards the Wuji Dao Sect.
Above the Ninth Heavens, at the Wuji Dao Sect.
Wang Tianli and Hao Yun had already been waiting. It was as if they knew Yang Ji would return, and they immediately greeted him.
"Junior brother, the sect is missing. Have you taken it away?" they asked.
"The senior brothers guessed correctly, the sect has indeed been taken by me into the Wuji Order," Yang Ji said with a smile. "As for the invading Heavenly Demons, I've suppressed them all."
"Wuji Order? It seems the Sect Master intends for you to temporarily take the Sect Master's position," said Wang Tianli. "Junior brother, what do you plan to do?"
"It's better to take the initiative to strike first, to break them one by one, and suppress them all," Yang Ji responded.
"Alright, we'll listen to the junior brother," Hao Yun nodded.
"Then let's go. Let's first pay a visit to the Immortal Sword Sect," Yang Ji and the other two exchanged glances, and immediately leaped into the air, heading for the Immortal Sword Sect.
Midway, Wang Tianli looked towards Hao Yun and asked, "Junior brother, do you know the specific plan of the Heavenly Demons?"
Hao Yun, being the reincarnation of the Immortal Realm Sage, was well-informed and knew things that others could not predict.
"The Heavenly Demons are looming all over the Taichu World, secretly setting up the 'Primordial Array of the Heavenly Demons' to thoroughly refine the entire Taichu World and turn it into a Magical Treasure. Meanwhile, they are sending their grand army to clear out the strong forces within the Taichu World to prevent these forces from sabotaging the formation."
"Once the Heavenly Demons succeed, the Taichu World will henceforth become the main base for the Heavenly Demon Clan."
"From then on, Demon Lords will be born continuously, and the Heavenly Demons will return to their pinnacle, becoming the strongest and most formidable race," Hao Yun said gravely.
"What? The Heavenly Demons want to refine the entire Taichu World?" Both Yang Ji and Wang Tianli were slightly taken aback. Such a grand undertaking, to refine a whole world, turning it into a Magical Treasure?
