This is the first problem that outsiders need to face after arriving in the main world: rejection by the Heavenly Dao!
Kil'jaeden, what a powerful being he is! He destroyed many worlds and is one of the three Grand Masters of the Burning Legion. Theoretically, such a person should be very vigilant, intelligent, and cunning.
But look at his current behavior, where is the air of a wise man? If you didn't know better, you'd think he was just a hothead who only knew how to use his fists!
"Caught in the midst of calamity, surrounded by its aura, intelligence declines, the wise become fools, and the fools are destined to die. Kil'jaeden is not far from his demise! Qing'er, Wenji, you two must quickly prepare yourselves and be ready to act at any moment!"
"If I'm not mistaken, the tide of battle is about to turn. Killing these extraterrestrials will surely bring divine favor, making everything we do invincible!"
"By the way, Fengxiao and Ziyi, you two should also prepare yourselves. Lead the army and kill as many Hellfires and Demon Guardians as possible. Killing them will also bring you divine favor and abundant fortune. At that time, it won't be impossible to defy fate!"
"Furthermore, after we make our move, remember to inform the families and forces that have a good relationship with us, especially the aristocratic families who traded with us the most last time. Let the world know that following Duke Wu will bring you rewards!" Lin Yang said calmly.
This time, no matter what, the entire imperial court and all the noble families in the land owe Lin Yang a favor. Although it's not a big one, he can still invite them to participate in the Wu Kingdom's auction and transport at least ten thousand or eight thousand people!
Sure enough, just as Lin Yang was lost in thought, Kil'jaeden was finished. At that moment, Kil'jaeden had been struck in the back by a sword, a sword that pierced his heart. The Chun Jun sword was still emitting a faint glow.
Looking up, Lin Yang used his Divine Eye of Luck to discover that Kil'jaeden was actually dead. The sea of luck had completely vanished. He no longer possessed even the first tier of white luck, let alone fifth-tier purple luck!
This is complete annihilation, a total death with absolutely no hope of resurrection. Of course, this refers to sixth-tier methods. However, the universe is vast and full of wonders, and no one can say for sure that resurrection is truly impossible.
Without even having a chance to say a final word, the infamous Demon Lord Kil'jaeden, whose name was known throughout many worlds, passed away!
"Kil, just like that, dead? This can't be!!!" Archimonde exclaimed in surprise, along with a hint of fear. He immediately increased the strength in his arm, punching the Azure Dragon God-King flying before him, and then turned and ran.
"After enduring this long, you think you can escape now? Dream on!" With that, accompanied by a divine light, the heavily wounded Azure Dragon God was completely healed. Soon, he charged forward and entangled Archimonde.
In a hidden cave in Jingzhou, a middle-aged, white-haired powerhouse stood shirtless, holding a bow in his right hand and an arrow in his left, his muscles pulsating with each breath.
In the end, the entire cave was breathing in unison with him, maintaining the same frequency.
With each breath, the cave absorbed a large amount of chaotic energy from outside the boundary. Before it could be transformed into innate spiritual energy, it was directly absorbed by the white-haired giant.
The immensely powerful and highly corrosive chaotic energy was now as docile as a kitten, easily absorbed by the burly man.
Moreover, and more importantly, with each breath of the burly man, the bow and arrow in his hand became increasingly wondrous.
"When the time of Yao came, ten suns appeared simultaneously, scorching the crops and killing the vegetation, leaving the people with nothing to eat. The Yayu, the Zaochi, the Jiuying, the Dafeng, the Fengxi, and the Xiushui all became scourges upon the people. Yao then sent Yi to slay the Zaochi in the fields of Chouhua, kill the Jiuying above the Xiongshui, capture the Dafeng in the marshes of Qingqiu, shoot down the ten suns and kill the Yayu, sever the Xiushui in Dongting Lake, and capture the Fengxi in the mulberry forest. All the people rejoiced..."
"In the past, Yi shot down the suns to save all the people of the world. Today, demons from beyond the realm invade. I, Huang Zhong, will follow the example of my predecessors and hope that Heaven will bear witness!" With that, Huang Zhong bowed three times to the sky.
If Lin Yang were here, he would have noticed that with Huang Zhong's words, his entire aura instantly surged. Countless blessings descended upon him. By the time the three bows were finished, his aura had even reached the peak of the sixth rank!
Slowly, the divine bow was drawn back, and the multicolored arrows grew brighter and more magical. At the same time, Lin Yang's words were being recalled in her mind.
"As long as you, Sect Master, kill enough extraterrestrial evil gods, when the great calamity ends, Heaven will naturally bestow enough merit. At that time, with this merit, why worry about not being able to cure your young master's illness?"
The more Huang Zhong recalled those words, the more focused he became, and the more concentrated his energy and spirit became!
"Killing people will bring divine favor, and killing them will bring even more merit. In that case, let's kill this leader!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Zhong's arrow shot out. Similarly, this arrow transcended the limitations of distance and time, arriving behind Archimonde the moment it appeared.
With a slight thud, Archimonde was pierced through by the arrow. The multicolored arrow, as if encountering no resistance, easily took his life.
Seeing this, Zhang Jiao subconsciously shook his head, and then said in a low voice, "Look, this is the Han Dynasty. Two experts at the late stage of the Celestial Immortal realm didn't even make a sound before they were wiped out. The so-called Burning Legion has even turned into the world itself, becoming resources for advancement."
"This...they died way too quickly!" Zhang Liang said, puzzled. Even though the Han Dynasty was powerful, it was impossible for someone to die so quickly.
"I suppose that's why Xian Qin chose the eldest brother. I reckon even if Xian Qin himself were to personally infiltrate, things wouldn't be much better!" Zhang Bao concluded.
"Alright, it's time for us to show up. It would be quite inexcusable if we didn't. Hmm, as for cultivation, let's keep it at the peak of the Earth Immortal realm," Zhang Jiao said calmly. Then, they began their demon-slaying spree.
Luoyang, the Cabinet.
Looking at the situation in the sky, Yuan Feng smiled and said, "Alright, the two dangerous guys have been dealt with. Next, it's time to deal with these lackeys."
Upon hearing this, the remaining powerful figures all nodded in agreement. Ma Teng spoke first: "Let's dispel the barrier first. In just this short while, a portion of the power accumulated by the formation over ten thousand years has been consumed, which is a full hundred years. The consumption is simply too great!"
As a representative of the feudal lords, Ma Teng's interests were actually aligned with those of the Han Dynasty. Otherwise, he wouldn't have expressed his stance so quickly.
"The problem is, although the sixth-tier demon god has disappeared, there are still tens of thousands of third-tier hellfires, plus all sorts of other monsters, totaling hundreds of thousands. More importantly, they are scattered all over the country, and they are not so easy to kill! After all, the Imperial Guards cannot be moved lightly; they still need to suppress the capital and maintain their deterrent power."
"Hehe, I have a suggestion. Each state should open up one county for these monsters to settle in. At the same time, gradually reduce the level of the barrier. Once these monsters arrive at the designated location, notify the aristocratic families, sects, and nobles to organize private armies to hunt them down. Then, rewards can be distributed according to merit..."

Chapter 56: The Sea-Stabilizing Pearl
Accompanied by streaks of golden light, a small, exquisite, seven-colored pagoda rose up and slowly ascended into the sky, showering down endless golden light and enveloping the entire Jiangdong region.
Then, the thousands of hellfires were instantly suppressed upon contact with the golden light. Their movements were hindered, their speed slowed, and the corruption of their evil energy instantly became ineffective. In fact, the evil energy, the moment it left their bodies, transformed into pure spiritual energy and returned to the world.
In an instant, the concentration of spiritual energy in the entire Jiangdong region increased several times over, almost comparable to that of a primary blessed land. Of course, this was only a temporary phenomenon; it would gradually dissipate over time.
"send troops!"
At Lin Yang's command, countless fully armed soldiers appeared in unison. The Hellfire warriors were now restrained, their strength drastically reduced.
It can be said that as long as the soldiers are not afraid of death and are properly arranged, a mere thirty men are enough to hunt down a Hellfire. A mere thousand men can roam freely.
Therefore, in order to maximize efficiency, Lin Yang immediately dispatched eight teams of a thousand men each, heading in all directions.
"These hellfires and monsters are all favored by heaven, all merits. So, Qing'er, Wenji, remember, you must deliver the final blow yourselves. In the entire process, this final blow accounts for at least 80% of the benefits." Looking at the suppressed hellfires, Lin Yang reminded them once again.
After saying that, he flew into the sky, carrying several fully activated fifth-tier spiritual treasures, and went to find hunting targets.
In any case, Lin Yang is currently riding high on his luck, making it the perfect opportunity to kick a man when he's down. Furthermore, with several fifth-tier spiritual treasures fully activated, hunting a fifth-tier Abyss Lord is quite possible. Who knows, he might even run into Fatty Ma.
When the time comes, capturing a Mafia and imprisoning it in the pagoda, keeping it as a pet wouldn't be bad. Who knows, when we become powerful enough, we might even use Mafia as a guide to invade the Twisting Nether.
