Only a Void Refining True Monarch possesses the power to shatter the void – this is a universally accepted understanding in the Cultivation World.
It's been three thousand years since Spirit Energy depletion, and no Void Refining True Monarch has appeared in the Cultivation World during this extensive time period. These demons made their judgement based on the scant, unclear information within their inherited memories.
In extreme panic and fear, everyone tends to believe the only person speaking out. It's the same for demons.
Once such an initial impression is set, more information becomes gradually clearer in a demon's mind.
Why did the old city district experience a Spiritual Energy Vortex covering half of the city? Why did the vortex disappear instantly when this young man appeared? Why can he shatter the void by simply waving his hand?
All these questions can be answered by ascribing the identity of Void Refining True Monarch to the young man in front of them.
The wide-ranging Spiritual Energy Vortex wasn't a sign of treasure, but merely the result of this Void Refining True Monarch's daily cultivation. When he ceased cultivating, the vortex quickly dissipated.
The space rift that wiped out the horde of demons with a wave of the hand was merely a casual move of shattering the void by the True Monarch.
His aura of a common individual was because his cultivation realm had reached the level of pure simplicity.
The first demon who shouted 'Void Refining True Monarch' was swiftly devoured by the spreading space rift, but its fearful words swayed all of the other demons' thoughts.
It wasn't surprising that these demons were mistaken. The Void Refining True Monarch was too distant for them, there was only vague information in their inherited memories.
The unstoppable space rift and the sudden demise of dozens of demons had plunged them into terror.
However, Shen Yuan did not give them any chances. He flicked his hand and threw another specially-made space hand grenade toward the group of demons who hadn't managed to disperse in time.
The internal space opened up by Pot's Heaven Divine Power clashed with the outside world, causing an explosion and the emergence of numerous space rifts.
These were merely small demons at the Essence Refining Stage, they had zero defense against the space rifts. Their flesh and blood was torn apart instantly, fur and blood splattering everywhere.
Yet before their filthy blood could hit the ground, the shattered space swallowed everything, leaving no trace behind.
Just two space grenades wiped out all the demons within the courtyard.
What was left were some minor demons who hadn't initially made it into the courtyard and a few animals infected by demonic energy.
Shen Yuan's indifferent gaze swept over the remaining minor demons outside the yard. Fear spread rapidly, and a myriad of infected animals scattered in all directions.
Across the gloomy skies, alongside the roads, inside the dark sewers, the remaining demons regretted not having more legs to run with.
The Maine Coon waiting at the gate, too, joined the fleeing army.
As a cat demon only a step away from reaching the Qi Transformation Stage, the Maine Coon was fully aware that the young man in the courtyard was far more terrifying than he had imagined.
Because in the process of eliminating those demons, he didn't use any Mana at all.
He nonchalantly released a regular item, triggering massive space rifts that swallowed all the demons.
Such power was far beyond its comprehension. In its frantic escape, the Maine Coon didn't dare glance back.
It used its innate talent to creep through the shadows, and while the night was its best cover, it still felt no sense of security.
If the young man in the courtyard wished to strike, even if it managed to escape from Wenn City, it would die without a doubt.
But the instinct to survive was propelling it, making it lose its sanity and run wildly.
After an unknown amount of time, when the scenery before it became a desolate wilderness, the Maine Coon could no longer maintain its stealthy state.
It emerged from the shadows of the shrubs, collapsed in the grass, panting heavily.
Looking back in the direction he came from, he could no longer see any trace of human activity. Even the Maine Coon could not fathom the lengthy distance they had traveled this time.
However, thankfully, the terrifying threat had finally completely dissipated after having moved away from the old city district.
"It should... be over, right?"
Relaxing slightly, the Maine Coon skillfully reached for the top of its head to comfort a certain expectedly shivering little ball of fur.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will definitely protect..."
The Maine Coon's actions came to a sudden halt.
"The King is gone!!!"
...
"I was just practicing my cultivation, how did it attract so many little demons?"
Shen Yuan watched as the demon-infected animals and a few stray demons fled, making no move to stop them.
Besides the space hand grenade, he had no other spells at his disposal and could not necessarily stop all the demons.
Instead of stubbornly trying to wipe out those who may escape, it would be better to let these small demons go. After all, judging by the situation, the small demons will certainly not dare to intrude this area for a short time.
Surveying the courtyard, all Shen Yuan saw was carnage.
The space rift had devoured all the demon's flesh, but the destruction caused by the demons infiltrating the yard was irreparable.
Several pillars of the wooden corridor had collapsed, a large hole had been dug in the center of the ground by the infected rat swarm, and only a few shabby wooden boards remained of the door. The whole yard looked dilapidated.
Having walked out of the cultivation room door, Shen Yuan assessed the losses in the courtyard with a frown, especially repairing the large hole in the center of the yard would certainly be expensive.
Thinking about this, Shen Yuan felt a twinge of pain.
"What a pity. The space rift brought by the Pot's Heaven Divine Skill was too domineering, devouring all those little demons without leaving a trace."
"If we could have left behind a few demon corpses, it would have been possible to compensate for the loss."
As he thought this, Shen Yuan crossed the tattered door frame, which only had a few wooden boards left, considering whether to have a sturdier door next time.
But after his gaze swept over the equally badly damaged surrounding wall, he suddenly felt it might be more cost-effective to move.
Just then, the corner of Shen Yuan's eye caught a flash of white.
Following the direction, Shen Yuan saw a black-and-white furball shaking in the corner of the street.
When he got closer to the street, he saw that the black-and-white furball was a small kitten, no bigger than a palm. The pure black fur covered the entire body, with its limbs being the perfect white, like a pair of white gloves.
"What a splendid black cloud stepping on white snow."
Shen Yuan's eyes lit up, skillfully reaching out to grab the little kitten.
Caught by the scruff of its neck in an embarrassing pose by Shen Yuan's giant hand, the fate of the hitherto trembling kitten was stiff.
There were thousands of words it wanted to utter, yet in front of the seemingly harmless handsome young man, all it could manage was a soft meow.
"Mew~!"
