Chapter 2100 — Divine Paragon’s Demon Sealing Arts

"How dare a mere Immortal..." the black-masked figure muttered coldly, his voice laced with disdain.

Yet, despite Yuan’s provocation, he remained composed. Unlike the expendable pawns that littered the battlefield, he was no mindless fanatic and wouldn’t risk himself so easily.

Though he could theoretically overpower Yuan with sheer cultivation alone, he dared not act recklessly. The threat of Yuan’s Demon Sealing Aura loomed like a blade at his throat. Having accepted a demon’s power, he was now inherently vulnerable to its natural counter—Demon Sealing Aura. In such confrontations, cultivation alone meant little.

However, despite Yuan single-handedly holding the northern front, the other regions struggled to contain the relentless advance of the Demon Worshippers.

"Damn it! Why the hell are there so many Demon Worshippers?!"

"This is unprecedented!"

"Look over there! More are coming!"

Suddenly, the Demon Sealers spotted fresh waves of Demon Worshippers approaching from the horizon, an overwhelming black tide surging toward them like a living storm.

"Something isn’t right! There can’t be this many Demon Worshippers!" Zhou Yanfei had a deep frown on his face as he contemplated the situation.

Then, a look of realization—and disgust—washed over his face.

"It can’t be...!"

Not only were there too many Demon Worshippers, but most of these individuals were within the Spirit Realm and Divine Realm.

"They must be controlling these people like puppets! They’re not true Demon Worshippers—just sacrificial pawns!" Zhou Yanfei exclaimed, shocking everyone present.

"Then how the hell should we deal with them?!" Someone there asked.

If these people were truly innocent people being controlled by the real Demon Worshippers, they’d feel guilty killing them. However, if they didn’t stop them, these people would turn into suicidal bombs, inflicting immeasurable damage to the Demon Sealing Grotto.

"Those wearing the black demon masks must be the ones controlling them! Take them down first—the control should end once they’re dead!" Zhou Yanfei commanded with urgency.

The Demon Sealers immediately shifted their focus to the black-masked figures.

However, reaching them was easier said than done. The pawns swarmed around their masters like a living shield, and any attempt to approach was met with detonations from the red-masked ones, turning themselves into deadly explosives.

Since there was no definitive proof that the red-masked individuals were merely innocent people under control, the Demon Sealers made no effort to minimize their casualties. Even if they were innocent, the fall of the Demon Sealing Grotto would bring about far greater destruction.

If the Demon Sealing Grotto were to collapse, the demons would no longer need to hide in the shadows in fear.

Although cultivators today far surpass those from the Demonic Era and might ultimately repel another demon invasion, the demons would still wreak catastrophic havoc across the Nine Heavens, claiming countless innocent lives in the process.

Realizing how desperate the situation was, Yan Hara spoke to Yuan using voice transmission, "Yuan, can I use your techniques to stop these people from destroying their Dantian?"

Yuan responded, "If your Demon Sealing Aura is strong enough, it’s possible."

"But if I do that, it’ll reveal to the world that I have received the Divine Paragon’s legacy."

Since Yan Hara had yet to reveal any of the techniques bestowed upon her by Yuan, only a select few were aware that she now wielded the Divine Paragon’s Demon Sealing Arts.

"It has to happen eventually anyway," said Yuan.

"I understand."

With Yuan’s approval, Yan Hara tossed aside all hesitation and unleashed the Divine Paragon’s techniques.

A torrent of Demon Sealing Aura erupted from her, sweeping across the battlefield like a divine tempest. Both Demon Worshippers and Demon Sealers alike were shaken by its sheer magnitude.

"Demon Sealing Zone!"

In an instant, a massive barrier was erected, covering the entire battlefield.

"Th-This technique is—!" Zhou Yanfei’s eyes widened as he quickly recognized the technique being deployed and was shocked endlessly.

"The Divine Paragon’s Demon Sealing Art—Demon Sealing Zone!!! Why the hell do you have this technique?!" he shouted at her in a cracked voice.

However, Yan Hara ignored him and focused on the technique.

Sensing the imminent threat, the Demon Worshippers immediately turned to flee.

"SEAL!"

Yan Hara’s voice thundered across the battlefield as her Demon Sealing Aura surged forth, enveloping the red-masked individuals and sealing them all within the confines of the Demon Sealing Zone.

In the blink of an eye, nearly all of the Demon Worshippers were sealed. However, since the black-masked individuals had a much higher cultivation, they were able to escape the Demon Sealing Zone and avoid being sealed.

The Demon Worshipper reinforcements froze in their tracks upon witnessing the scene, and they even began retreating in fear.

With a single technique, Yan Hara had single-handedly halted the Demon Worshippers’ invasion. However, the feat had drained nearly all of her energy, and if they were to strike again, she wouldn’t have the strength to stop them a second time.

"Well done," Yuan praised her through voice transmission.

"Thank you... I’ve been training in secret ever since you entrusted me with the technique," she replied, her heart uplifted by the praise of its creator.

"Yan Hara! Answer me! Why the hell do you have the Divine Paragon’s Demon Sealing Art?!" Zhou Yanfei approached her afterward, demanding an answer.

"What? That was the Divine Paragon’s technique? I thought it disappeared with the Divine Paragon..." The Demon Sealers were shocked to learn this.

Yan Hara met Zhou Yanfei’s gaze with a composed expression and said clearly, "It’s simple. I’ve inherited the Divine Paragon’s legacy."

"You what?!" Zhou Yanfei burst out in disbelief.

"The Divine Paragon’s legacy?!" Even the black-masked Demon Worshippers froze in shock. None of them had foreseen such a staggering revelation emerging amidst their invasion.

"What should we do?! Our plans will—"

"Calm down."

A cold, commanding voice cut through the rising panic.

In the next instant, a suffocating pressure swept across the battlefield—sinister and oppressive—drenching the land in a malicious aura that made even the bravest tremble.

"This presence... a demon has appeared!"

The Demon Sealers instantly recognized the presence of a demon and prepared for their appearance.
