This formation set by Ao Long, I fear, is a secret of the Dragon Clan.

Ao Long’s attack is not a scattered, wide-range assault, but a highly focused one. Wherever it strikes, neither man nor object is left intact.

Even before Ye Luo’s attack fell, chaos had already erupted at the Sanyuan Mine.

The so-called elite warriors have no power to fight back under such an assault!

The screams keep coming, and although Ye Luo frowns slightly, this time, he does not stop it!

The mine boss, witnessing the carnage, is already terrified.

"You, you promised us an hour, why attack now!"

What’s this? Now you want to keep Ye Luo from leaving?

Ye Luo glanced at the mine boss, said lightly, "Oh, is the time not up yet? It seems I’ve miscalculated the time. But since I’ve already attacked, let it be!"

"No, no, you, you demon!"

Demon?

Not a bad title, Ye Luo quite likes it.

Ye Luo smiles faintly, but his hands suddenly press down, and the sea of flames descends.

Destruction occurs in an instant; absolute power admits no resistance!

In just a few moments, among the guards and miners of the Sanyuan Mine, numbering in the tens of thousands, only fewer than fifty thousand survive, with Ao Long killing the most.

Don’t be fooled by Ao Long’s concentrated attacks, which aren’t wide-ranged, but they are the most powerful; to touch it is to die!

"Retreat, retreat quickly, get out of here!"

Under Ye Luo’s feet, continuous cries are heard, the mine’s guards, who were prepared to fight Ye Luo to the death, are now fleeing in panic!

"Let’s go. See how much Sanyuan Mine we have here, and let’s take it all!"

Ye Luo said to Feng Ling. As for Ao Long, this old fellow seems addicted to killing by now, still hunting for stragglers.

Of course, Ye Luo naturally won’t mind him.

To be honest, there’s quite a bit of Sanyuan Mine in this place, but unfortunately, there are still many Sanyuan Mines in the caves, which Ye Luo can’t take away.

With Ye Luo’s strength, mining Sanyuan Mine wouldn’t be slow, but alas, Ye Luo has no time to waste.

Of course, this battle’s reward for Ye Luo is not just these Sanyuan Mines, but also the name of a demon.

One battle!

In just one battle, Ye Luo unleashed his hands to kill in such a way that already makes the enemies tremble in fear.

Indeed, mercy only makes others see you as weak; only iron-blooded slaughter will make enemies fear you!

These are enemies, not our own people, so never expect to negotiate with the enemy.

The three continued forward, anything Ye Luo set his eyes on, he would seize directly. Any enemies daring to oppose Ye Luo, he would annihilate.

To kill, you must kill until the enemy fears you, kills until the enemy trembles!

...

Meanwhile, just as Ye Luo was causing havoc in the heart of the Commerce Alliance, the resistance of the Da Yue Empire was retreating step by step.

The Da Yue Empire is not like the Great Tang Empire; each city of the Great Tang Empire has strong walls and complete defensive formations. Attacking them is no easy ordeal.

But the Da Yue Empire is different. It hardly has large cities, and even if there are, the walls are typically not tall. Don’t even mention complete defenses!

This is also why the Commerce Alliance takes different strategies towards Da Yue and Great Tang.

This time, the attack on the Da Yue Empire was by a coalition from multiple countries, striking from as many as five positions simultaneously.

The Demon Clan people are best at controlling beasts, so initially, relying on a massive demon beast legion, the Da Yue Empire managed to withstand several attacks, but as time went by, Da Yue’s defensive capabilities became weaker.

First, among the enemies, there were also Demon Clan people capable of controlling beasts, followed by a mass of puppets appearing on the battlefield, making the demon beasts controlled by Da Yue mere fodder in the puppet warfare.

The loss of numerous demon beasts is undoubtedly deadly for Da Yue Empire.

Princess Yu led her elite troops, tirelessly supporting various regions, but with too many enemies, how could they be easily stopped?

During these days when Ye Luo was wandering in the heart of the Commerce Alliance, the Da Yue Empire had already lost one-third of its territory, and even several small clans had been exterminated!

The battle was far more brutal than imagined.

Yet, the people of Da Yue Empire were fearless.

Warriors, young and old, marched to the battlefield, sacrificing their lives and blood!

The Demon King never understood, what exactly were the enemies fighting for?

In the Demon King’s eyes, the Da Yue Empire doesn’t possess any resources worth the enemy’s cost at all costs to seize.

So why this madness?

The war erupted suddenly, and now, the Da Yue Empire and the Great Tang Empire, two nations considered mortal enemies, have begun secret dealings in the hope of mutual help to resolve their crises.

Time flows.

In the heartland of the Demon Clan, the demon’s reputation grows louder. The demon is incredibly powerful, his methods excessively brutal, leaving no place unscathed by wails wherever he went.

Initially, the Commerce Alliance sought to capture Ye Luo, but now, all strongholds within the Commerce Alliance dared not mention capturing Ye Luo. Instead, they set up defenses everywhere, trying to halt Ye Luo’s advance.

Unfortunately, any resistance appears frail before Ye Luo.

More often, where Ye Luo goes, the Commerce Alliance’s people think only of escaping.

...

An era of chaos is unknowingly arriving, and the chaos is not limited to the Ninth Region!

With Commerce Alliance having such cross-regional prowess, naturally, it’s not an exception.

Now that Commerce Alliance has made a move, how can other forces stand idly by?

In fact, in many places, incidents of annexation have already begun.

Major powers swallowing minor ones, smaller countries forming alliances, the Ninth, Eighth, and Seventh Regions of the Martial Realm have now entered a chaotic era, and it’s likely that chaos is not far off in more advanced regions.

Of course, an age of chaos breeds heroes; with war arises a new batch of so-called heroes.

The Martial Realm opens a new Chapter.

Only Ye Luo hadn’t realized that he hadn’t done anything, yet he found himself at the forefront of this new Chapter, a pioneer of this chaotic era!

Ye Luo’s journey has been quite fruitful, and the Commerce Alliance wouldn’t just ignore that. Thus, they continually mobilize strong individuals to hunt him down.

But unfortunately, such hunts are unable to do anything to Ye Luo and his companions.

Of course, Ye Luo couldn’t linger within the Commerce Alliance forever, and while the demon’s fame spread across the Commerce Alliance’s heartland.

They did not know that the "demon" they spoke of had already found the map leading back to the Da Yue Empire, and he has now set on the return journey!
