nAs the demonic dragon stood against Lu Xuan, it had managed to make a breakthrough into the ninth tier of the Divine Treasure Realm. At that moment, its powers had returned to its initial state.

nSince that simply restored the dragon to the level that it should’ve been at in the first place, there were little problems with it doing so.

nThat terrifying aura raging about that dragon felt like a demonic sea, shaking the world within over 100 kilometers of it.

nIt looked like some kind of demon god that had broken free of its shackles and emerged from Hell. It seemed out to kill everything in the world.

nBoom!

nAo Chen made its move. Its massive body lashed out at Lu Xuan like a spear with such force that even Lu Xuan would’ve died if it hit them.

nThe force the dragon was propelling itself at wasn’t much different from that of a nuclear bomb detonating.

nBoom!

nLu Xuan took the terrifying attack head-on. By simply extending one hand, he managed to stop the attack dead in its tracks.

nUpon seeing how unreal the scene was, everyone began to wonder how Lu Xuan managed to stop the attack. It seemed completely impossible, but Lu Xuan managed to pull it off nonetheless.

nThey all saw Lu Xuan’s entire body glowing red as smoke rose from him.

nIt made him look like some terrifying volcano that was about to erupt.

n“Sh*t, this is my last move. Even though I said I would kill you in three moves, I still couldn’t do so.”

nAo Chen, whose attack was stopped right there and then, had brief flashes of despair in its eyes.

nThe terrifying aura about Lu Xuan continued to boil away. A blob of bloody light was then seen being instantly unleashed from Lu Xuan’s body. Everyone then watched as the blood-colored light immediately engulfed everything around it, including Lu Xuan himself. Even Ao Chen, the horrifying monster almost 500 meters in length, was engulfed in the light.

nBoom!

nTerrifying explosions erupted over that part of Australia. Spectators would never forget such a sight.

nThat terrifying explosions shook the ground violently, throwing up plenty of dirt.

n“This is my final divine art: One with the Heavens and the Earth!”

nLu Xuan’s voice then gradually faded amongst the countless explosions.

nAfter all of the terrifying explosions had occurred, everything had disappeared. There was nothing left to be seen, save for an unbelievably massive crater in the ground.

nIt was all over.

nLu Xuan seemed to have used some sort of move to destroy that old dragon while self-destructing in the process. The place was then strewn with scattered pieces of that old dragon, its demonic blood pouring down like rain.

nThat desert, which had never been conducive to plant life in the first place, could become a demonic area after being contaminated by demonic blood. It was utterly impossible for plant life to grow. Even if plants somehow managed to grow there, they wouldn’t have been normal.

nThe spectators were stunned, seemingly unable to accept what just happened. Both sides lost in the end. Lu Xuan disappeared from where he stood, while that old dragon was blown to pieces.

nBoth creatures that struck fear into the hearts of countless people were gone.

nThe outcome of the battle caused countless people to feel a sense of loss, especially towards Lu Xuan. While his body was nowhere to be found, what happened caused many to believed that he was probably vaporized out of existence.

nAfter using such a move, it was simply impossible for him to have killed the old dragon and survive.

nThat day became one in memory of Lu Xuan.

nWhat transpired served as the turning point that brought about the establishment of an organization on Earth, that was long seen in novels.

nMeanwhile, at the Human Alliance…

nAn all-new global organization was formed with the big five at its core. This new organization strived to eliminate the barriers separating the nations and bring everyone together.

nThat battle between humans and demons served as a reminder to humans that they were not alone in the world. The way that countries were run all along—each minding their own business—would most probably be gradually eliminated in the future era. The way that countries ran all this time, each minding its own business, would most likely be gradually eliminated in the future.

nThe organization was still in its earliest stages of development, consisting of only the nations being renamed as areas in name who still maintained a great degree of autonomy. Nevertheless, many people saw that to be a great start.

nMany people believed that this would never have happened without the fallen Lu Xuan.

nHad it not been for Lu Xuan giving his all fighting that old dragon, all of humanity would have most likely been eradicated. The Human Alliance would never have been established in the first place.

nThe Human Alliance was established after the nations struggled against each other for a year. The first thing the organization did was to begin the extermination of demons throughout the world.

nIt was especially so after the Human Alliance was formed; the existing military forces in the former nations would no longer be used against other humans. Due to the concept of nations being replaced by the notion of areas, former nations no longer needed to protect themselves.

nThe armed forces were relieved from their original duties and were given an all-new objective: clean up the demons taking over the mountains.

nThe purge began on land before moving to the skies and the seas.

nWhen relieved of their original duties of protecting their respective former nations, all of that military might that had been used to protect themselves and kill fellow humans was utterly astonishing.

nAfter all that had happened, nuclear weapons were no longer deemed a suitable last resort. People were free to use such powers as they pleased.

nThe purge lasted for more than two years. With no leader to rally them, the remaining demons had two choices: either surrender to the Human Alliance or be exterminated on the spot.

nWhen the demons were proven too much for regular armies, fighting forces consisting of cultivators would be deployed. If even cultivators proved to be insufficient, then that would be the time to deploy nuclear weapons.

nThe demons, who had only begun to emerge and develop, had no way to resist such an all-out purge.

nThe deep seas were the only place deemed off-limits to human civilization; monsters still lurked within them, capable of resisting humanity’s efforts to purge them.

nAs the Human Alliance was formed, human cultivation forces became greatly developed

nThe shackles of the world seemed to have been affected by that battle back then; they were loosened even further.

nMany formidable fighters were able to make further progress, breaking into the third tier of Divine Treasure Realm under such circumstances.

nThere were even rumors about some formidable ones having made breakthroughs into the fourth tier of Divine Treasure Realm. That made them capable of standing on equal footing against Lu Xuan, at least before he isolated himself to train and make further breakthroughs.

nHuman civilization prospered for quite a while.

nUnderneath the façade of prosperity, however, a threat still lurked in the shadows.

nBack in a meeting room in the Yunxuan Villa, located in Fu City in Min Province of the Huaxian area…

nLu Shanshan, dressed in white robes, was sitting across a man with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a pale complexion.

nThat blonde-haired and blue-eyed man then said in fluent Huaxian, “Ms. Lu Shanshan, I heard that Mr. Lu left his cultivation manual back here in Yunxuan Villa right here. I’ve also heard that he had developed a comprehensive cultivation system. I’m sure this will play a vital role in completing the current cultivation system of human civilization.”

nThat man continued to explain, “Mr. Lu has been the most powerful cultivator thus far among all of humanity. I’d say that his cultivation manual would be of utmost value to all of humanity. I’m sure you know that while the demonic dragon is now dead and over half of the monsters in the world has been exterminated, there are still unknown threats that the Human Alliance has to face.”
