The demon race cavern.

John’s figure instantly appeared in this place.

He quickly surveyed the environment of the cavern.

Behind him was an enormous passageway. Countless monsters surged into it like a tide, then entered the various human main cities through the countless subdivided rifts within the passage.

At a glance, there was no end to these demon race creatures. Their figures almost filled the entire cavern.

At the same time, in the center of the cavern, upon that enormous pitch-black tree, countless small cocoon-like objects were slowly wriggling.

The embryonic forms of various demon race creatures were appearing inside those cocoons.

Clearly, this was the demon race’s Lifebane Tree. All demon race creatures were offspring produced after the Lifebane Tree absorbed Demonic Aura.

However, judging from the gloomy environment of this cavern, the Demonic Aura here was already insufficient.

Or rather, the origin power of this cavern had only ever been this much. After being completely absorbed by the Lifebane Tree, it had long since entered a period of exhaustion.

In order to continue reproducing more demon race creatures, and also to allow the Lifebane Tree to keep growing, the demon race had ultimately launched this invasion against the human world.

Even the passages had been opened with such precision that they could be subdivided to reach every single human main city.

This war had probably been planned for a very long time.

"If I want to kill them all, I probably won’t be able to.

"So there are only two ways to resolve this war.

"One is to destroy the Lifebane Tree. The other is to destroy all these passages."

John casually killed a batch of monsters that surged toward him, then threw a detection spell at the Lifebane Tree.

[Lifebane Tree] Lv. ???

[HP]: ???

[Attack]: ???

[Defense]: ???

[Skills]: ???

[Hint]: This creature is currently of an extremely high tier. Its HP, Defense, and other attributes are not something players at the current stage can attack. Please choose your target carefully.]

...

John’s detection spell directly warned him that he could not challenge it at his current stage.

"Its tier is actually so high that even I can’t attack it? Interesting."

"Then there is only one choice left. Cut off the passages."

John’s gaze landed below, on the demon race army that was still pouring endlessly into the passages.

His eyes gradually turned cold.

"You dare invade the human world? You’re really courting death.

"I’ll cut off your passages right now and see how long you can last!"

At this thought, John’s figure flashed.

In the next instant, he appeared directly in the middle area between two enormous passageways.

In an instant, the surrounding demon race creatures erupted into chaos.

They all sensed an extremely dense human aura and instinctively surged toward John’s location.

A system prompt rang beside John’s ear.

[You have entered an important demon race territory and are affected by the Demon Race Hostility buff!]

[Player’s current all attributes -10%, HP -10%, recovery speed -10%, mana -10%, skill effects -10%!]

John’s figure was enveloped by a layer of Demonic Aura, and his aura weakened considerably. However, he did not care.

The levels of these monsters were not high. Even though he had been weakened this much, he could still easily crush them.

Hiss, hiss, hiss!

Roar!

Hrrk, hrrk, hrrk!

All kinds of monster roars continuously entered John’s ears. These roars also carried mind attacks.

John could not even clearly see how many monsters were in front of him.

But he did not care.

No matter how many monsters there were, he would kill them all the same!

The monster army surged forward like a black tide.

All kinds of monster skills were released, pouring down like a torrential storm!

If any other player had seen this scene, their legs would have gone weak from fear long ago. They would have had no idea how to respond.

But John remained calm. Two scepters merely appeared in his hands.

He directly stabbed the two scepters into the ground without even actively holding them.

The two scepters quickly condensed one gray and one crimson massive ball of light.

Deathlight and dragon flames erupted at the same time, instantly unleashing two terrifying beams.

The beams swept back and forth continuously.

Large numbers of monsters fell rapidly like wheat being cut down, turning into scattered Demonic Aura.

At the same time, the monsters’ skills also arrived.

John’s head, thighs, upper body, torso...

Almost not a single part of him remained untouched.

Terrifying skills landed on him, directly drowning his figure.

However, in the next moment, large amounts of white damage text appeared above John’s head.

[Miss!]

[Miss!]

[Miss!]

...

Even after being weakened by 10%, John’s Defense value was still incomparably terrifying.

These monsters could not break through his defense at all. No matter how many skills and attacks stacked together, they merely produced a string of misses.

"Is that all the strength you have? How boring."

"Watch carefully. This is what an attack looks like!"

A set of warrior armor suddenly appeared over John’s body.

Immediately afterward, his figure rapidly became illusory and overlapped with itself. In an instant, he actually split into 999 clones.

"Blades, come!"

Buzz!

In an instant, a crimson blade appeared in the hands of all 999 Johns.

Waves of scarlet light rose from their bodies.

[Wrathborn]!

In this state, all warrior skills and attacks would receive a 500% enhancement!

In the next moment, the sky above the entire demon race cavern lit up with a vast sea of red blade light.

Every red blade descended abruptly like raindrops.

Because the momentum was too great, even the entire cavern began to tremble.

Even John himself did not know exactly how powerful his attacks had become after receiving a 500% enhancement!

Under the might of the blade light, even the Demonic Aura became dim.

"Die!"

Killing intent appeared in the eyes of nearly a thousand Johns, and the blade light suddenly descended.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Blade lights filled the sky and fell from above.

The first to come into contact with these blade lights were undoubtedly the flying monsters.

Almost the instant they were touched, they collapsed, turning into Demonic Aura that spread through the air.

Nearly all the flying monsters in the sky above the demon race cavern were instantly killed!

The Demonic Aura they transformed into after death almost became a black cloud.

Within that black cloud, specks of red light lit up and fell downward!

In the Wrathborn state, all of John’s attacks carried a piercing attribute.

After killing a huge number of flying monsters, the blade lights continued falling.

Whether it was a demon giant as massive as a mountain range or a ferocious-looking Two-Headed Demon, the moment they touched the blades, they were killed instantly.

System prompts rang beside John’s ear like pouring rain.

[You have killed lv.100 Two-Headed Demon. Experience gained +20,000,000, gold coins +1,000,000, Fame +10,000,000!]

[You have obtained demon race points +1,000!]

[You have killed lv.105 Nether Demon Spider. Experience gained +26,000,000, gold coins +1,300,000, Fame +13,000,000!]

[You have obtained demon race points +1,250!]

[You have killed lv.112 Skeletal Demon General. Experience gained +32,000,000, gold coins +1,650,000, Fame +16,000,000!]

[You have obtained demon race points +1,580!]

...

The monster levels inside the demon cavern were clearly higher than those of the monsters entering the human world.

Even so, John still instantly killed them all. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

At this moment, he was like a true demon god guarding the passageway.

Not a single monster was allowed past him!

One man was an army!
