The alarms rang across the encampment as Demonic Qi surged once more.
This time, however, the pressure was noticeably weaker.
No Immortals descended from the skies.
No Half-Qilin's overwhelming aura crushed the battlefield.
Only Great Ascension Realm Demonic Cultivators and Grade-10 Demonic Beasts advanced from the darkness.
Even so, no one dared to relax.
After what had happened before, the Desolate Heaven Empire responded immediately—matching force with force, formations activating one after another, experts taking their positions with grim expressions.
High alert!
They had not forgotten that these Demonic Cultivators possessed methods capable of concealing their presence—even from Immortals.
If the same trick was used again, they had to be ready to react instantly.
Yet—nothing unexpected happened.
The Demonic Beasts charged.
The Demonic Cultivators followed.
They clashed head-on with the empire's forces, exchanged blows—
The battlefield turned into a slaughter.
