"Boom!"

Inside the cave, the ground shook and the mountains quivered.

In an instant, countless stones fell like raindrops.

Some of them even hit Yang Yan on the head and bounced off.

Yang Yan didn't even have time to observe what happened before suddenly feeling darkness before his eyes, unable to see anything.

The explosion was just a momentary event.

However, the violent shaking lasted for a long time.

When the last large stone inside the cave struck violently in front of Yang Yan, everything finally returned to peace.

Crunch—crunch—boom!

Lying on the ground, Yang Yan looked disheveled, the dust he accidentally inhaled causing him to cough non-stop.

When he got up, his bones creaked.

After pushing aside several stones from his back, he suddenly stood up and saw the scene in front of him clearly.

All around were rolling rubble and fragments.

Looking forward, he found that the original formation had disappeared, and the Jade Demon was nowhere to be seen.

After the formation vanished, the scene inside naturally came into view.

On the ground, there were blood markings, splitting and running parallel, eventually all converging at a central point.

At the center, there was only a box.

A seemingly ordinary wooden box.

Seeing no sign of the so-called demigod of the Demon Race, Yang Yan felt somewhat secretly pleased.

But driven by curiosity, Yang Yan took a bold stride forward.

"Clatter..."

At this moment, a piece of rubble fell, catching Yang Yan's attention.

Turning his head, he saw on the left, the one buried under the stones was none other than the Jade Demon!

"Ha!"

Yang Yan's eyes lit up, changing direction and walking straight toward the Jade Demon.

"Bang!"

With just a light kick, all the stones on the Jade Demon's body were shattered.

Then, Yang Yan bent down, grabbed the clothes on the back of the Jade Demon, and lifted her with his right hand.

The petite body of the Jade Demon was held in his hand.

"You... let go of me! Father God!"

The Jade Demon struggled desperately in Yang Yan's hand, her eyes darting around searching for something.

When she looked up, Yang Yan could just see the place on her forehead where a third eye used to be.

Although still open, now there was nothing but a dark hole instead of an eye.

This made the Jade Demon look even more peculiar.

"Boom!"

The moment demonic qi began to emerge from the Jade Demon, Yang Yan immediately threw her to the ground.

"Behave yourself! You still want to resist?"

Yang Yan had no habit of showing mercy.

At least, he had no such thoughts when facing such a female monster.

He mercilessly kicked the Jade Demon, sending her flying.

"Puff!"

The Jade Demon collided with countless protruding stones before finally crashing into the mountain wall, stuck there.

This mountain wall and these stones were actually quite ordinary.

However, the mountain wall appeared to have an added power of rules compared to the fallen stones.

This was understandable.

If this were an ordinary cave, the Jade Demon's earlier mad self-destruction would have been enough to completely erase it from existence.

"Father God!"

At this moment, the Jade Demon remained unwilling, staring fiercely at the wooden box in the center of the former formation, uttering an unwilling shout.

"Father God? You think breaking the seal will release the Demon God? Haha! Please don't be so naive."

Yang Yan scrutinized the Jade Demon wantonly before sneering disdainfully.

Unfortunately, the Jade Demon ignored him completely, continuing to call for her Father God.

Yang Yan chuckled, then continued:

"Scream all you want; even if you shout until your voice breaks, he won't hear you."

"In reality, even if the seal were opened, the Demon God is from ancient times; he's not truly a god."

"So many years have passed, even if he could live that long, without a trace of energy to sustain him in this endless time, I reckon he would perish?"

"Impossible!"

The Jade Demon finally stopped shouting, incredulously refuting Yang Yan, her eyes red, almost exploding.

But now she was almost like a cripple, her third eye, the only thing capable of contending with Yang Yan, had self-destructed.

As of now, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say even an ordinary person with a gun could shoot her!

"The facts are here; whether you believe it or not is none of my concern."

"What I want to say is, you are already a dead person."

Yang Yan smirked evilly, hands in his pockets, stepping through the rubble effortlessly, soon standing beside the Jade Demon.

He reached into the mountain wall, directly pulling the Jade Demon out.

"Even if you kill me, you won't stop Father God's emergence! Ah——"

As the Jade Demon spoke, Yang Yan grabbed her neck.

She only had time to let out a wail before Yang Yan gently crushed her throat with his right hand.

However, this injury was clearly insufficient to kill a high-ranking demon race member just like that.

Yang Yan tossed her aside like trash, delivering a blow to her heart.

Blood trickled from the Jade Demon's mouth as she opened her defiant eyes at Yang Yan.

The hole on her forehead, where the third eye was missing, seemed especially eerie.

Yang Yan's eyes were cold, revealing no emotion, as an unknown power suddenly appeared in his right hand, directly pulling a phantom soul from the Jade Demon's body.

The Jade Demon's soul struggled in mid-air, but Yang Yan bent his fingers slightly, forcing her soul to be absorbed and disappear into his palm the next moment.

Just then, Yang Yan couldn't help but exhibit a faint smile.

This was the devouring power he had recently comprehended, which allowed him to devour souls for his own use.

Initially used on Manhattan.

At that time, Yang Yan felt greatly benefited.

Now, using the devouring power to swallow the demon soul of the Jade Demon, the benefits were even more apparent.

Yang Yan clearly felt his soul seemingly expand substantially out of thin air!

Standing in place for a moment to digest, Yang Yan turned his gaze toward the wooden box.

While the formation existed, it was impossible for the wooden box to be so openly exposed.

But once the formation disappeared, many pieces of rubble covered the area around the box.

For whatever reason, or perhaps by pure coincidence, the central area where the box was located remained perfectly intact.

What is this?

Wasn't this supposed to be the place sealing the Demon God?

Yang Yan's heart couldn't help but harbor some doubts.

Being an action-oriented person, with a thought, he stepped on the pile of rubble and flew over.

Star Night swept around the wooden box, clearing an area instantly around its center.

Yang Yan landed, looking down at the box before him.

From a distance, it looked like an ordinary box.

As he approached, Yang Yan realized the box wasn't as simple as he had imagined.
