In this raging inferno, under the flashing of thunder, a proud figure walks through empty air.

“Since you so desire to see your damned brother, I shall send you to meet him today.”

Before the words left his mouth, a powerful demonic aura surged out, churning clouds and mist like a surging tide. In an instant, it dissipated half of the celestial realm's thunderous flames, reaching a level where it stood equal to its opponent.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

This powerful demonic aura was both familiar and alien to all the scattered demon troops.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

What is familiar is that the Demon Lord, who once ruled them for so long, has returned. What is strange is that his strength has surpassed comprehension.

It had even reached such a terrifying state. Was this still the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable they knew

"My Lord Demon Venerable!" The injured Monkey Yue saw the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable arrive behind him, his face filled with ecstatic joy. He had originally thought that this time he was sure to die, but he didn't expect the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable to return at the critical moment, and moreover, he had broken through to the Yuanshen Yaoti realm.

In appearance, its might seems to be no less than that of the Hades Axe, Baixuan. Although it appears improbable, such a thing has nevertheless occurred before our very eyes.

"Lord Demon Venerable!" Those originally defeated demon soldiers also found their backbone. Just now, they were slaughtered too badly by the Nether Axe Baxuan, some died and some fled. The camp that was originally well-organized is now in ruins.

"Useless things, hundreds of thousands of demon troops, can't even defeat Baixuan, and they don't even have the most basic fighting spirit. This seat doesn't need such trash under its command."

The Extreme Cloud Demon Sovereign let out a cold snort, his sword intent surging. In an instant, the surrounding demon army that had been fleeing in all directions was split into countless pieces of minced meat that rained down. A large number of primordial spirits were drawn into the cloud mist and fluttered within the banner waving in the wind.

The monkey's eyes widened in alarm, he could even sense the extreme hunger of the Wind-Fire Cloud Soul Banner swirling within the turbulent clouds and mist.

Is the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable having his old problem again Does he want to refine his subordinates into the demon banner once more

“Such a prodigious young one! I never expected you to ascend to the realm of Yuan Shen Yao Ti so quickly. Truly astonishing.”

"Mingfu Baxuan cast a new look at Ji Yun Yaozun, his eyes finally showing a hint of seriousness."

Originally, according to his thoughts, the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable had just entered the Yuan Shen with the power of law, and his methods should be extremely limited.

But at this time, the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable gave him a strange sense of threat. This feeling was only experienced when facing formidable opponents in his life.

"The Phantom Emperor of the Underworld is nothing more than someone who ascended realms a few decades earlier than me, relying on his higher cultivation to oppress me. In the end, I personally sent him to hell."

As your elder brother, there's no need for pointless chatter. Since you're here, stay and offer incense to this seat. This seat has just achieved the form of a celestial spirit demon body and needs someone like you to refine the demonic banner.

The Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable let out a hearty laugh, then ordered the injured Monkey Reader who refused to give up.

"Huo Yue, you lead my Yun'an beasts to reorganize the demon army. Today, we will spare no effort to surround and kill this Baxiuan!"

"Yes, Demon Venerable!" Hou Yue was excited. Just now, he was suppressed too badly by Ba Xuan. If the other party wanted to humiliate him, he would have been reduced to ashes long ago.

Heaven took pity on him and allowed him to choose a new life.

Just now, the demon army under my command was defeated by Ba Xuan single-handedly, leaving them scattered and demoralized.

That was because there was no one who could stand against Baixuan, and besides Jichu Yaozun, no one else was his match. Under such circumstances, naturally no one dared to stay.

But now, not only has the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable returned, but I have also ascended to the realm of Yuanshen Demonic Body. The moment I appeared, I blocked most of the might of the Hades Axe Hegemon, displaying strength that could rival him on equal footing.

These people feared the might of Hades' axe and Xuan, but they feared even more the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable, whose accumulated power had long since made his strength not much weaker than Xuan.

Moreover, these Clouded Beast are now helping the Monkey King reorganize the demon army. The previous demon army couldn't exert any influence at all.

Even though it was still not enough to fatally affect Bah Xuan under the current circumstances of regrouping and setting up a battle formation, the gradually gathering energy of the battle formation made Bah Xuan's eyelids twitch.

A snake cannot move without a head. Just now, those disparate crowds, under the intimidation of the Extreme Cloud Demon Sovereign, had actually coalesced, making him feel like he was being watched with daggers.

"Arrogant fool, let me see what you're capable of, little one." Though Baxiuan was astonished in his heart, he wouldn't show the slightest bit of weakness on his mouth.

"Then let me show you the Twelve Heavenly Demon Forms I have cultivated after my ascension!" The Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable roared with laughter, waving his sleeve and causing the surrounding sea of clouds to surge.

Twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac, each holding a magical banner, emerged from the surging clouds and mist.

Each demonic banner waved, sending forth a barrage of demon shadows rushing towards Bah Xuan. Their speed was astonishing within this cloud sea.

However, for Bahuang this speed wasn't unbearable. As long as he was willing, he could always create some distance from the opponent.

The only problem was the enemy's united front. Demonic figures kept coming from all twelve directions, attacking relentlessly. Even for a powerful warrior like Hei Xuan wielding his Divine Axe, it wasn't easy to handle.He swung his giant axe around, continuously slashing down at these various demonic figures. While he didn't put in much effort, the sheer number of attacks was draining him. Slaughtering them had little impact on changing the situation.

And as time passed, the demon army's reorganized battle formations, under the command of the Cloud-Horned Beasts, began to shift positions gradually. They were preparing to launch an attack at any moment.

>

If this continues, the situation will only worsen. We can't underestimate this Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable. We need to find a way out of this.

Otherwise, if we keep getting surrounded like this, we might actually be trapped to death.

Mingfu Baxuan gritted his teeth, sprang forward, and dashed towards one of the rat-headed zodiac beasts that seemed slightly weaker.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Like fire invading, swift as a thunderbolt. In the blink of an eye, it pierced through the throngs of demonic shadows. With a mighty axe blow, it was about to cleave the rat-headed zodiac beast in two.

However, the rat's head zodiac face instantly underwent a slight change, bearing a few traces of the extremely ethereal aura of the Cloud Demon Venerable.

>

“You’re just in time.” The Dark Axe Overlord, Baixuan, let out a cold snort. This guy's methods were endlessly changing, and he was worried he wouldn't be able to catch him personally.

Here is your text translated into English:

This way of maneuvering would eventually leave him at a disadvantage. Unexpectedly, the other party directly stepped forward. For Bahuang, this was naturally something he desired.

This axe strike was like a bolt of lightning gathering the power of the entire celestial realm. It achieved its purpose in a single blow. The opponent might be more versatile in their magical techniques, but when it came to sheer strength, Ba Xuan had absolute confidence in himself.

With a deafening boom! The Rat-Head Zodiac Banner unfurled, gathering clouds and mist to form a massive spear with the demonic banner. It charged straight towards the enemy.

An unprecedentedly violent impact sound directly shook to death many low-level demons in the surrounding area.

Baxuan's body retreated several dozen meters, but the rat-headed Zodiac in front of him remained motionless. On the contrary, the surrounding clouds were churning like a stormy sea. Baxuan took a deep breath with his Pluto Axe, this guy's magical powers were indeed very clever, actually able to turn such a violent attack into the sea of clouds. But he didn't believe that the other party could continue to resolve it in this way. Without any pause, Baxuan charged out again. The Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable's eyes were filled with solemnity. The previous strike seemed like he was still and had gained some advantage, but that wasn't true. It was just that his cultivated method was more exquisite, turning the just now fierce impact into the sea of clouds; otherwise, under this blow, he would have to be forced back dozens of miles by the opponent. Baxuan obviously saw this point, and charging up again was not intending to give him any chance to breathe.

"My twelve zodiacs' strength isn't just about individual combat power. It's the Twelve Zodiac Grand Formation!" Facing the unstoppable Might-Axe Overlord Xuan, the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable simply smiled calmly.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Before the words could even finish, in an instant, the twelve zodiac animal's faces were switching at an astonishing speed. Bull heads, horse faces, and rat heads—they changed constantly, feeling like the twelve zodiac animals had merged into one, then instantly split apart again.

Then, the twelve zodiac animals attacked together. Baixuan's body surged with thunder and fire, instantly splitting into six figures of thunder and fire that roared like warlords. Each one wielded a giant axe of thunder and fire, battling fiercely with the twelve zodiac animals.

...Ming Fu Ba Xuan Yue's attacks grew more and more frantic. The opponent was indeed newly promoted, with a shallow foundation, and even he could feel that extreme hunger within the Feng Huo Yun Hun Sheng Sha Banner when they battled.

If these demonic banners were to be fully satiated, their power would undoubtedly advance to another level. With his current strength, he might very well be directly slain within the grand formation.

Now there's still a good chance to break through, but we absolutely can't delay any longer. However, with the opponent's current strength, they are already able to contain him. Coupled with the increasing number of demon armies closing in, his life is now in danger.

>

With a whooshing sound, under the command of the Cloud-Bear Beast, a massive horde of demonic soldiers converged on Chang He, attacking earlier than Ba Xuan had anticipated.

Bang! A charging demon shadow with a bull's horn took advantage of the momentum to strike at Bah Xuan. Although it didn't cause much damage, it had already begun to attack its core.

Mǐng Fǔ Bá Xuán's heart sank. The situation was deteriorating faster than he had imagined. "Kill!" Yún 'àn beasts, directly commanded by the one in charge of the battle formation, were filled with fervor. They could influence even the battles of powerful cultivators at the Yuanshen level. As long as they participated, whether they succeeded or failed, it would have immeasurable benefits for their future cultivation.

...with the speed of a blur, the twelve zodiac animals wielding their enchanted banners clashed with six formidable figures of thunder and fire. Their movements were lightning-fast, constantly shifting positions, causing bolts of crackling flames to erupt and scatter everywhere.

As the attacks on the Yin Axe Overlord Xuan have become more frequent, those demonic armies who had previously been fearful of him have gradually started to put up a better fight.

The twelve zodiac animals attacking Bah Xuan became even more skilled and coordinated.

With a deafening *bang*, a palm strike hit Baixuan's back, sending him staggering forward. Blood gushed from his mouth.

Just as he gritted his teeth and swung his axe back, the figure of Chiyun Yaozun flickered, already merging with the tiger-head zodiac.

A sense of panic surged through Mingfu Baxuan's heart. If this continued, he might truly be unable to control the situation. His mind raced, desperately searching for a way out.

No matter how he struggled, the twelve zodiac animals under the control of Jiuyun Yaozun held him back firmly. They even used the successive attacks of the surrounding demon army to create opportunities to counterattack.

Every attack landed on Bahuang, but none were enough to kill him. Bahuang's own defenses were strong enough.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

But as his injuries gradually accumulated, Ba Xuan's reaction also began to decline. He was attacked more and more.

This is what the text between the tags looks like in English:

Even the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable no longer used the method of controlling the twelve zodiac animals as before, but instead constantly clashed with them head-on, using a forceful stance to repel Baxiuan's counterattacks time and time again.

With a whoosh, the twelve zodiac animals finally merged into one, merging into the body of the Extreme Cloud Demon Lord. The Extreme Cloud Demon Lord's aura also soared to its peak.

A palm strike landed on the side of the axe, followed by several more palms striking towards Bah Xuan.

>

The Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable pressed forward relentlessly, his palm strikes and fist strikes each heavier than the last.

The twelve animals within the body launched a simultaneous attack, numerous palm strikes and fist techniques merging into one powerful punch.

Boom! The great axe was swatted aside under immense pressure. Bah Xuan, as if struck by lightning, reacted when he found a gaping hole in his chest.

The Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable instantly retreated, then reached out and struck forward with a barrier. As the barrier just opened, a violent explosion erupted.

Baixuan's burly body directly exploded into countless thunderfires that scattered. The surrounding laws of power were in unprecedented disarray.

The nearby formations of demon troops were directly flattened by this furious storm, leaving not a single trace.

Pfft! Even though the Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable's reaction was slow, he was still caught in this massive shockwave and inevitably injured, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"The green mountains remain unchanged, the water flows long, Jù Yún Yaò Zūn, I will come back for you." A hateful voice, filled with pain, echoed from the distant void, "Míng Fǔ Bá Xuán".

Even at your peak, I was not afraid. Now that your physical body is destroyed and your soul is wounded, you should think carefully about how to escape my pursuit.

The Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable let out a cold snort. He had only just advanced to his current realm, yet he dared to risk everything and refine the souls of the twelve zodiac animals. His power was far greater than anyone expected.

But compared to powerful beings like Mingfu Baxuan, it's actually still a considerable gap.

He could only rely on the power of the Twelve Heavenly Demon Forms, which were both powerful and unpredictable, to dissipate a large portion of the opponent's law force into the Yun Hai Sea during direct confrontations. This made it seem like he was able to fight Baixuan evenly, but the ultimate outcome still depended on the strength of his vast demonic army. As long as this Demon Venerable could hold back the might of the Nether Axe Baixuan, the effectiveness of the demon army would not be as dismal as before.

If it weren't for the large number of demon troops attacking in waves under the command of the Yun An Beast, they would have been undefeated until now, and even the Supreme Cloud Demon might have had to find a way to escape.

Even so, under the circumstances of Ming Dao Baxuan self-destructing his Dharma Body, at least tens of thousands of demon troops were directly annihilated in this explosion.

Adding up the previous casualties, the losses have now approached 400,000. This is a heavy toll for the entire demon army. However, there was no trace of regret in Extreme Cloud Demon Venerable's eyes. He has now ascended to the level of Yuanshen body, and as long as he can keep Baixuan around, he wouldn't even bat an eyelid if all these 400,000 demons were wiped out.

Entering the primordial spirit body, especially after initially mastering the twelve shapes of celestial demons, Ji Yun's perspective and understanding were completely different from before. Elite cultivators like Yun An beast and Hou Yue received further cultivation, with even greater potential. As for those with lower realms, as long as their strength and reputation remained formidable, they could continuously expand through conquest and assimilation, even growing stronger.e will we have to see our master" Zhu Yuqing replied casually with a few words,"After escaping from here, should we try to contact the people of the Jade Xuan Heavenly Court" The man in the brocade ro...
