"Damn livestock! You will regret mocking me!"

The Demon General suddenly grew in size until it was three times its original height, its muscles bulging as if they were on the brink of bursting, and two bat-like wings sprouted from its back.

"So you grew a little bigger and a lot uglier. I don't see how that will save you." Yuan commented on the demon's transformation.

Sure enough, even after its transformation, the Demon General couldn't touch a single hair on Yuan's body, much less defeat him.

'This bastard has grown so much since our last spar, and it's only been a year…' Liya narrowed her eyes at Yuan. She had always been proud of her own talents and strength, but before Yuan, she felt as insignificant as an ant.

'Is this the prowess of the Immortal Monarch? I guess he didn't command the Nine Divine Supremes through sheer luck…'

"Impossible… How is he overwhelming a Demon General with the strength of a Spirit Sovereign at his cultivation? It doesn't make any sense!" Qi Fang muttered with a dazed expression.

"He's not even using any Demon Sealing Aura, either! Are you telling me that he's overwhelming the demon with brute force?! No wonder why he's so confident!" Qi Man cried out loud.

"Even if he's confident and everything seems fine for now, why is he messing around? Demons aren't playthings, and things can go wrong in the blink of an eye!" Qi Fang anxiously clenched her fist.

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Where did a human like you come from?!" The Demon General no longer wanted to fight Yuan and began preparing to run away.

"Even if the entire world knew my name, I guess it's not possible for everyone to recognize my face, huh?" Yuan muttered in a low voice.

While there was not a single demon who didn't know of the Divine Paragon, not all of them had the misfortune of encountering him, so it wasn't shocking that this Demon General didn't recognize Yuan.

"I guess it's about time we finish this."

Yuan suddenly surged with Demon Sealing Aura. The moment the Demon General sensed this aura, its entire being trembled with fear. Although demons typically don't fear Demon Sealing Aura, even though it is their greatest weakness, Yuan's Demon Sealing Aura was on an entirely different level—one that made the demon feel completely powerless, as if surrounded by the abyss.

"No matter how many times I see it, his Demon Sealing Aura always humbles me…" Qi Man muttered, completely in awe.

The Demon General didn't dare to confront Yuan's Demon Sealing Aura and instantly ran away.

"Where the hell do you think you're going?"

Yuan caught up with the demon in no time and shoved his hand into the demon's body before pulling out of its Demon Core.

"T-this technique! You can't be the Divine—"

The Demon General perished before it could even finish its sentence.

Yuan quickly tossed the Demon Core into his pocket and turned to look at the Qi Family.

"Bring me to the next demon," he said to them.

Once they snapped out of their daze, the Qi Family escorted Yuan to the next sealed demon several hours away.

Yuan frowned as he looked at the sealed demon. Unlike the usual human-shaped statue, this one had no particular shape and resembled a small mountain.

"We mistook this as an ordinary boulder at first, but we examined it a little closer since it seemed out of place, and sure enough, we could sense a sealed demon inside." Qi Fang explained.

"Yuan…?" Qi Fang raised an eyebrow upon noticing a surprised expression on Yuan's face. "This isn't an ordinary demon…" he spoke slowly.

"This is a special demon called an Abomination! They're essentially mutants even within the Demon Clan."

"Abomination? We have never heard of them before. How strong are they?" Qi Man asked.

"They're not only much harder to kill but also stronger than the average demon, and judging by its energy… it's as strong as a Divine Warrior."

"What?! Divine Warrior?! That an entirely different realm!" Qi Fang exclaimed in a shocked tone.

"There's no way we can defeat something like that even if we're given a thousand years!" Qi Man said.

Yuan shook his head and said, "I can still deal with it, but I will need some time to prepare."

'Yu Ning, can you set up a barrier around this area so I don't completely destroy this place?' Yuan asked.

"Of course, Young Master."

Once Yuan transferred control to Yu Ning, his cultivation temporarily soared to the peak of Spirit Enlightenment.

'I guess the peak of Spirit Enlightenment is my new limit, huh?' Yuan thought to himself.

Sometime later, Yu Ning returned the control to Yuan after setting up the formation.

"I am finished, Young Master. As long as they're not stronger than a Divine Grandmaster, no attacks will be able to break this formation."

"Thanks."

He turned to look at the Qi Family and said, "You guys should stand further back."

"Are you sure you want to unseal it now? Why don't you come back a few years later—when your cultivation is much higher? The seal is strong enough to keep that demon sealed for another decade, so you have plenty of time." Qi Man suggested.

Yuan looked at him and said, "You should know by now that one's cultivation isn't the most important factor when dealing with demons. It's our Demon Sealing Aura that matters, and it doesn't require spiritual energy to be strengthened."

He stopped paying attention to the Qi Family and focused on the sealed Abomination.

Once he was prepared, Yuan broke the seal and waited for the Abomination to emerge.

The earth trembled as the Abomination began breaking free from its seal. Cracks rapidly spread across the boulder before it suddenly exploded a few seconds later, revealing the creature's ugly and menacing form.

"T-that is an Abomination?!" Qi Fang and the others wore expressions of fear and disgust upon seeing its grotesque appearance. Even though Yuan had warned them about its hideous appearance, none of them could have anticipated just how horrifying it would be.
