His human companions showed no reaction either; their numb eyes revealed that they had lost hope in this dark world. The demons' overwhelming power had robbed them of the courage to resist, and they could only hope to survive each day.
The toad looked at the obedient humans, sneered, and continued to rest against the rock. He casually picked up the head of a dead woman as a container, poured himself a cup of fine wine, drank it down, and made a "tsk tsk tsk" sound of admiration.
Knock knock knock!
The earth trembled slightly, attracting the attention of several toad demons.
A dark cloud appeared in the sky above the empty desert in the distance. Several toads looked on with some confusion, their eyes wide open, wanting to take a closer look.
After a while, the dark shadows slowly approached, causing the toads to run away. This was not a dark cloud at all, but a group of ferocious monsters with wings and terrifying bloodshot eyes, flapping their wings and quickly approaching.
Several toads pushed aside the humans blocking their way, took huge leaps, and prepared to run into the central palace to report the situation to Xiaofeng!
Whoosh whoosh!
Hundreds of winged warriors swooped down from the sky, surrounded the toads, and devoured them amidst their futile resistance, leaving only bones behind.
"A ghost!"
"Lord Demon, please spare us!"
All the humans ruled by the demons did not think of escaping. Instead, they knelt on the ground, trembling, and begged the winged demons for mercy!
The long period of rule eroded their spirit of resistance, and the eight immortal gods that should have appeared disappeared after the Holy Lords rewrote the years, as if their existence had been erased.
But after a long time, the winged warriors did not devour them as the humans had imagined. Instead, they protected them within their circle, all looking towards the southwest, as if waiting.
Knock knock knock!
The ground tremors did not stop, and the sound grew louder. The people kneeling on the ground looked at the dancing dust, and a few of them could not suppress their curiosity and looked up.
A vast, black dragon seemed to stretch from heaven to earth, with no end in sight. Countless soldiers in black walked across the land, each with a different appearance and form. Every step they took stirred up dust and caused the earth to tremble.
In the center of the procession, a massive, awe-inspiring canopy was surrounded by all the shadowy monsters, advancing towards them!
Ika's expression was strange. He had received Xu Le's orders to ride his black shadow warhorse at the head of the group and gallop quickly to the humans surrounded by winged demons. He shouted to all the humans, "Shurima! Your emperor has returned!"

What is Shurima?
A question arose in everyone's mind, but fear prevented them from asking, and they kept their heads down, not daring to speak freely.
Ika explained based on the information Xu Le gave him: "Our Lord is the ancient king of the Shurima Shadow Empire. Now, eight demons are ravaging the world, treating humans as food. The great Lord has awakened from his long slumber to slay the demons and save humanity!"
"Slay the demon! Really?"
"Is there finally hope for humanity?"
Looking at this vast and imposing shadowy army, they didn't believe that such a powerful figure would deceive them, these lowly slaves, and they unanimously ignited a flame called hope.
Looking at this group of dirty, weak humans, Ika's eyes were filled with contempt. Although their master seemed to be a human as well, Xu Le's strength commanded their submission; they respected the strong. However, due to his master's orders, he dared not openly reveal these emotions.
Ika patted the restless black warhorse and continued to explain, "Now stand tall and follow behind us. After you kill the demon, these cities will be your own to rule!"
"Yes, sir!"
The winged warriors flew back to their ranks, and all the human slaves followed the shadowy army toward the city center.
A dirty, emaciated child tugged at his equally emaciated mother and whispered, "Mommy, can we stop being food for the demons?"
The child's innocent voice echoed through the crowd, and everyone couldn't help but shed tears. His mother—a disheveled woman—embraced the child, a glimmer of hope flashing in her tearful eyes, and said firmly, "It will happen!"
Looking at the people who had become food, Xu Le felt a pang of emotion, not sympathy, but rather a realization about the weak being preyed upon. This strengthened his resolve to pursue strength. The weak are ultimately at the mercy of others, while only the strong can control their own destiny.
A simple palace appeared before Xu Le, and in front of the palace, the ground was covered with a large number of human remains, which were being devoured by a large number of demons.
Xiaofeng lay on the mat, opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing a young human man who had no time to resist. With a chilling chewing sound, a pile of bones was spat out onto the ground.
"dad!"
A small child broke free from his mother's embrace and rushed to the skeleton, crying bitterly. Xiaofeng's eyes lit up, and he whipped up a gust of wind to sweep up the child's body and swallow it whole, continuing to feast on human flesh and blood.
Because the animation is aimed at children, there is no gore. However, this does not mean that there is no gore in the real world. Under the rule of every demon, countless bones have accumulated.
As Xiaofeng heard the muffled sound and prepared to locate its source, a black canopy descended from the sky, slamming into him. Before he could react, a massive shadowy force suppressed him, and a figure in black robes emerged from the canopy, stepping on Xiaofeng's head and asking softly, "Was it enjoyable to eat people?"
"Aaaaaah, get away from me!"
The howling wind roared wildly, and the air currents moved rapidly, ignoring the white hurricane visible to the naked eye.
"Too noisy, garbage!"
Xu Le, hidden in the black robe, glanced at Xiao Feng, who was still in the inner world having the laws within his body analyzed by the Heavenly Dao, and knew what was under his feet. The power of the Ox Talisman was added to his right foot, amplifying his own powerful strength dozens of times.
Bang!
Like a missile exploding, a massive sonic wave swept across the entire city, the condensed white hurricane instantly dissipated, and the earth cracked extensively, leaving only Xu Le in his black robe. The trampled howling wind transformed into a cloud of black mist and merged into the heavens and earth.
"So it really was a fake howling wind created by the power of fate?"
Since Xiaofeng had been captured by Xu Le, but the Holy Lord himself wrote down that eight demons would once again rule the earth, and the Book of Time could not find the existence of the other four demons, he used Xiaofeng's memories to create a copy to fill his existence and fulfill the history written in the book.
