"Originally, Ye Yu had no interest whatsoever in becoming a Demon Lord."
"This was because, in his dreams, no matter how much territory he conquered or how high his reputation grew, it was all temporary."
"When the dream ended, everything would turn to nothingness."
"Moreover, such things were time-consuming and laborious—far less straightforward than pursuing the Great Way."
"But now, times had changed."
"After successfully acquiring the 'Land Devourer' golden attribute,"
"Ye Yu was determined to claim the title of Demon Lord."
"As long as he controlled enough land and demons, he would only grow stronger."
"So, he set his sights on Niepan Province."
"With the death of demon lord Li Yao, the territory had become completely leaderless."
"And Pei Chuxia still had certain roots there."
"By wielding the name of the old Demon Lord Pei family, they could gather a considerable portion of the people's hearts."
"Therefore, the first target Ye Yu desired was the entire Niepan Province."
"He immediately discussed plans with Pei Chuxia and borrowed troops from Juque Province, moving them into Niepan Province."
"Thus, they created the brilliant achievement of conquering one Demon Hall and eight cities in two days."
"What? Why not inherit Juque Province first?"
"The reason was simple: his father, Ye Chenyin, was still in his prime."
"It would be too unbecoming to have him step down now."
"Once Ye Yu conquered enough land in the future, Juque Province would be his at any time—no need to rush."
"And as it turned out, every golden attribute was incredibly powerful."
"After Ye Yu blossomed in the middle of Niepan Province,"
"he could vaguely feel his cultivation loosening slightly."
"In this situation,"
"Ye Yu was certain that after fully conquering Niepan Province,"
"he would definitely advance one step further—to the Demon King Realm!"
"To be clear, this was a realm he had never reached before."
"Of course, this depended on the demonic aura of the Demon Realm recovering to a higher level."
"Otherwise, with the current demonic aura, it would be impossible to support the emergence of the Demon King Realm."
"But even so, this made Ye Yu more determined about his future path."
"That was to take over all of Niepan Province, even the entire Demon Realm."
"In doing so, he could also conveniently strike at those Demon Lords, continuing to enrich his attributes."
"Why not?"
"However, something Ye Yu did not expect was that just as he prepared for further conquest,"
"a Demon Lord occupying the edge of Niepan Province suddenly stepped forward playing the saint,"
"strongly condemning Ye Yu’s lack of righteousness."
"The son of Demon Lord Li Yao was killed by you."
"The people of Niepan Province already hate you to their bones!"
"Under such circumstances, you borrowed troops from Juque Province to attack their Niepan Province."
"Do you have no conscience?"
"Now I will stand on the side of justice to save the demons of Niepan Province from destruction."
"But since you are a junior, naive and ignorant,"
"if you hand over the eight cities of Niepan Province and obediently return to Juque Province, I will forgive you."
"I’ll give you five days to think it over; if after five days you do not retreat, I will join forces with other Demon Lords to punish you!"
"Who said such a childish and exaggerated statement?"
"That’s right—it was Luo Fengtai, the Demon Lord of Wuyan Province."
"To be honest, his drama was really abundant."
"At the same time, he was a man of action."
"While openly condemning Ye Yu, he also dispatched multiple envoys to unite the other Demon Lords in Niepan Province."
"They intended to cooperate in a joint strike to eliminate one first."
"However, Ye Yu was not so easily provoked."
"He had no understanding of sayings like 'The east side of the river changes every thirty years' or 'A gentleman takes revenge within three years.'"
"Usually,"
"Ye Yu avenged grudges immediately, never delaying."
"So on that very night,"
"he led several thousand elite Demon Kings to the border of Niepan Province."
"He began shouting at Luo Fengtai,"
"'Don’t wait five days to attack me; I am already standing here—where are you?'"
"When Luo Fengtai saw Ye Yu’s relatively small force,"
"he was immediately filled with heroic confidence."
"He raised his arm, preparing to crush this insignificant brat with his demon army."
"But the next scene was something Luo Fengtai never even dreamed of."
"Ye Yu actually began breaking the formation alone!"
"Without using any magic or divine powers."
"Relying solely on his physical strength, he stubbornly endured attacks from over a thousand demonic weapons."
"He charged into the formation and slaughtered in all directions."
"At that moment, Luo Fengtai finally realized the truth."
"The Ancient Demon body he had feared all along was none other than Ye Yu!"
"Yet sometimes, regret was useless."
"Before overwhelming power, everything appeared so pale and powerless."
"After that night, the Demon Realm no longer had a figure like Luo Fengtai."
"And at that time, some envoys he sent out had not yet reached their destinations."
"In the following days, as news of Luo Fengtai’s death spread, Ye Yu’s name grew louder in Niepan Province."
"Pei Chuxia did not idle either, continually contacting old subordinates to amass strength for her husband."
"This caused some Demon Lords to hesitate and consider withdrawing from Niepan Province for the time being."
"Because Ye Yu was truly too strange."
"Rising like a dark horse."
"How old was he, yet already able to slay Demon Lord-level figures?"
"This was far more powerful than his father Ye Chenyin."
"Many even began to suspect whether the Ye family’s ancestral grave was secretly smoking."
"Two days later, Ye Yu and Pei Chuxia stood atop the Demon Hall of Niepan Province, gazing into the distance."
"According to their plan, in at most another month and a half, they would completely recover Niepan Province under their banner."
"The future was truly promising."
"But at that moment, the heavens shook, and /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ a surging demonic aura began sweeping across the entire Demon Realm land."
"Everyone couldn’t help but look up."
"This was a sign of demonic aura revival."
"The abundant demonic aura was enough to support the appearance of the Demon King Realm."
"For Ye Yu, this was nothing but good news."
"Pei Chuxia looked at his profile, her eyes full of love."
"Since avenging the great hatred, she had no other obsession—only to depend on Ye Yu’s side and accompany him forever."
"When her husband was happy, she was happy."
"She fully supported him in doing whatever he wished and was already very satisfied."
"Of course, if they could have a baby, that would be even better."
"And at this moment,"
"The smile on Ye Yu’s face suddenly vanished, replaced by a solemn expression."
"He could clearly feel three terrifying auras rapidly approaching the Demon Hall."
