At this moment, Xi Zhao and Ling Weiyang's expressions were incredibly unpleasant. They had to admit that Ziling and his cohorts' plans were far more profound than their own. Ling Weiyang realized that he had been outplayed. Of the 120 million elite troops of the Myriad Demons Country, along with the secret forces he had taken so long to nurture, very few would likely survive to return. Both Ling Weiyang and Xi Zhao had underestimated the cultivation of someone at the Heavenly Venerate's Peak. The Nine Kirin working together could force the Myriad Demon King to flee in a disheveled retreat from the Hidden Realm, but when facing Ziling, they were like children yet to reach full Moon, absolutely powerless. The Ink Kirin, Mo Zhu, the most skilled at defense among the Nine Kirin, was crippled by Ziling in one move—a prime example of their helplessness.

However, with the situation as it was, one wrong move could lose the entire game, and now Ling Weiyang could only consider how to minimize their losses. It was not only Ziling; when Yue Huangquan took out the Soul Suppressing No. 5 World Suppressing Stele, Yue Huangquan's temperament changed completely, and his strength skyrocketed to the terrifying level of a Heavenly Venerable Mid Grade. Moreover, Sha Wujing wasn't the only one who could perfectly merge with the Heavenly Stele; Yue Huangquan could do it too.

While Pangu lacked Yue Huangquan's World Suppressing Stele, he nonetheless reached into the void and pulled out a large axe. The sight of this axe turned Ling Weiyang's face particularly dark, ashen even. A top-level Domain Instrument, the Vein Axe—one of the most powerful Divine Artifacts from the Genesis Divine Nation, forged from the nine top-level Dragon Veins of the nine high-level worlds, undoubtedly possessing tremendous might. What's more crucial was that the Vein Axe could enhance someone's cultivation by unleashing the power of the Dragon Veins. Thus, after taking out the Vein Axe, Pangu's cultivation also rose to the rank of a Heavenly Venerable Mid Grade.

Two Heavenly Venerable Mid Grades, one Heavenly Venerate's Peak. With such strength, neither Ling Weiyang nor the Myriad Demons Country stood a chance. Perhaps the strongest in the Genesis Divine Nation wasn't the Domain Lord Xiao He but Pangu before them. At this point, Xi Zhao showed no great panic; he was more puzzled and hesitant. As the first Domain Lord of the Annihilation Demon Nation and the Clan Leader of the Annihilation Clan, as well as the master of the Underworld Venerate's Heritage Site, Xi Zhao still had one last card to play, exclusive to him. What he hesitated over was whether to use this ultimate and final card. What puzzled him was the scent he detected from Pangu; it was a scent he had felt from Sun Wukong before—an aura unique to Pioneers.

"Pangu, it seems you have a significant connection with the Pioneers. I can smell the stench of a Pioneer on you!" Xi Zhao said coldly to Pangu. Pangu coldly glanced at Xi Zhao and responded, "I never would have guessed that the legend was true, that the Underworld Venerate left behind an inheritance on the eve of that decisive battle. We never found any clues, but it seems now that it is indeed real. And you, Xi Zhao, seem to have obtained a part of this inheritance; the larger portion probably lies at the bottom of this lake! Xi Zhao, even now, do you still refuse to see reason? The moment you accepted the Underworld Venerate's inheritance, you became a sinner of this universe!"

Xi Zhao said with a disdainful laugh, "Sinner? Hmph. I don't think that mighty power is a sin. The Underworld Venerate was nothing but a loser, and history has always been written by the victors. Once I use this power to stand at the universe's peak, I will deem you the sinners!" The Underworld Venerate knew before that decisive battle that there was little chance of victory, so he sealed all he had—including knowledge, cultivation, treasures, and a part of his soul—in a space and then secretly hid the tunnel connected to that space in the Annihilation Demon Nation.

Originally, the precursors of the Annihilation Demon Nation, the Annihilation Clan, were devout followers of the Underworld Venerate. At the time, Xi Zhao was the Clan Leader of the Annihilation Clan. During the midway of that great war, the Underworld Venerate suddenly summoned Xi Zhao and then ordered him to lead the Annihilation Clan in betraying him and joining the Pioneer's camp. The reason for the Underworld Venerate's actions was simple; he knew his chances of victory were slim and, not wanting to completely vanish, had the Annihilation Clan infiltrate the Pioneers' ranks to preserve a glimmer of hope for himself.

Initially, the people of the Annihilation Clan did not receive recognition from the Pioneers for they were, after all, defectors. However, as the battles raged on, the Annihilation Clan fought fearlessly and valiantly, earning significant merits. They proved their loyalty to the Pioneers with the lives and blood of their clan members, and eventually, the Pioneers trusted them. In subsequent battles, the Annihilation Clan's performance was even more exceptional, with every member fighting as if they wished to perish with their enemies. Thus, following that battle, the eight Law Enforcers named them the Annihilation Demon Nation, an honor they won with their lives.

But only Xi Zhao knew that the Annihilation Clan revered destruction and was fiercely loyal to the Underworld Venerate; they would never defy his orders, and hence joined the Pioneers' camp very reluctantly. Their disregard for life in battle was because they believed that, regardless of the reasons, betraying the Underworld Venerate was a grave sin; a sin they thought could only be cleansed through destruction—of themselves and their foes, even if those enemies were once their comrades-in-arms. It can be said that the Annihilation Clan fought with a suicidal fervor.
