Demoncloud looked at Evan Yang and said, "Your courage is getting bigger and bigger. Do you really think you can handle so many Demon Lords?"
"Go ahead, at least Titus Skyflood hasn't shown up, right?" Evan Yang knew Titus Skyflood was powerful—definitely not someone he could resist. As long as Titus didn't appear, he could still fight these others.
"Titus Skyflood is busy breaking the formation with some others, so he has no time for this place. But there are at least six Demon Lords here—do you really think you can withstand six Demon Lords? You're just arrogant." Demoncloud sneered.
Evan Yang replied, "Six, huh? That's not a big deal."
"You really are something. Soon, you won't be saying that." Demoncloud was no longer bothered by Evan Yang's provocation.
Soon, the other four Demon Lords arrived. With Demoncloud, there were now six Demon Lords. The four newcomers were shocked when they saw Evan Yang.
"Everyone sees it—he's the one causing trouble!" Demoncloud pointed at Evan Yang.
As everyone turned their gaze to Evan Yang, they were confused. Could a single Evan Yang really stir up so much trouble?
"So, you're all here now? Then tell me, how do you want to fight? Are you all coming at me together?" Evan Yang asked.
"You're right. You can't be treated like an ordinary person anymore. Now, we have to attack you six-on-one." Demoncloud said.
"Six-on-one? So that's all Demon Lords are capable of." Evan Yang laughed.
The other four weren't happy about it. Was Evan Yang really worth this much effort? Since they hadn't seen his true strength, they felt it was embarrassing, so they hesitated. One of them asked, "Demoncloud, it's just a kid—let me handle him alone."
"No way. He's not who he used to be. His strength is enough to rival Immortal Sovereigns." Demoncloud said.
"How could that be?" the questioning Demon Lord said suspiciously.
Seeing their disbelief, Demoncloud had the Demon Lord who witnessed earlier explain. After hearing the explanation, they finally understood. When everyone finished listening, they looked at each other, feeling it was unbelievable.
"Are you done discussing?" Evan Yang asked the six Demon Lords.
"We're done." Demoncloud replied.
Right after that, the other five surrounded Evan Yang, making sure he couldn't leave their sight.
"Looks like you've chosen group attack. That way, you really can hold me back—but you might not be able to defeat me." Evan Yang smiled, and suddenly four figures appeared beside him: the four Sovereign-tier妖尊.
As soon as the four Sovereign-tier妖尊 appeared and saw the six Demon Lords, they knew there was a fight coming. So they stood right next to Evan Yang.
Seeing four powerful figures suddenly appear, the six Demon Lords were shocked. Each妖尊 radiated an aura even stronger—some were stronger than the Demon Lords themselves.
"Who are these four?" Demoncloud asked, frowning.
"They're my friends. Since you six are attacking, we can't just stand by. Let's make it five versus six—you still have the advantage." Evan Yang said.
"A five-on-six, huh? Whether they're your friends or not, anyone who helps you must die." Demoncloud snorted. With that, the six Demon Lords began their attack.
Evan Yang and his four妖尊 each picked an opponent. Since there were six Demon Lords, one was left without a match and watched from the side, ready to help if anyone got into trouble.
At first, Evan Yang worried they might not be able to win. But soon the妖尊 showed their transformation abilities. For example, Sovereign Eagle had powerful wings—the gusts he generated were so strong that his opponent couldn't dodge.
So the fastest victory came from Sovereign Eagle, who defeated his opponent quickly. That made it five-on-five—but the situation kept changing.
In the end, only Demoncloud was left, staring in horror at Evan Yang and his group, along with the five injured Demon Lords. He said in shock, "Evan Yang, you—"
"It's over for today, Demoncloud. It's time to settle our grudge." Evan Yang said.
"You? Impossible. You're still relying on others—I thought you were supposed to be so amazing." Demoncloud snorted.
Evan Yang smiled. "That's just provocation, but I like it. As you wish, I'll fight you one-on-one."
Demoncloud had already fought Evan Yang and knew he was strong. Winning now would be hard, especially with the four powerful妖尊 guarding nearby. Secretly, he thought, "No, I must send word to Titus Skyflood and the others."
While talking to Evan Yang, Demoncloud sent a message to Titus Skyflood. But Titus was busy breaking the formation and didn't see it. Meanwhile, Demoncloud started a new round of fighting with Evan Yang.
Evan Yang's advantage became more obvious. With his multi-attribute abilities, he could switch and strengthen attributes, making it harder for Demoncloud to resist. Finally, Evan Yang punched Demoncloud's back, dealing serious injury and burning him with the Polar Sacred Flame.
"Damn it!" Demoncloud was shocked.
"How's that?" Evan Yang smiled.
Demoncloud looked at his wounds and glared at Evan Yang, unwilling to accept it. "You... I'll admit you're strong."
"Is that all?" Evan Yang asked again.
"No, because time's up." Demoncloud suddenly sneered.
"Time's up?" Evan Yang didn't understand.
Just then, a three-man-tall gate suddenly appeared behind everyone. Without hesitation, Demoncloud rushed straight through. Evan Yang realized what was happening and tried to stop him, but Demoncloud had already gone inside.
"Back to the Devil Realm? Escaping just like that?" Evan Yang muttered.
The remaining Demon Lords tried to follow, but were subdued by the four Sovereign-tier妖尊.
Evan Yang looked at the Demon Lords and asked, "The gate between the Devil Realm and Immortal Realm shouldn't open so quickly. Why did it open ahead of schedule?"
The five Demon Lords looked at each other, saying nothing. They knew this was a critical secret and couldn't reveal it easily.
"Not talking? Then I won't be so nice later." Evan Yang said.
The five Demon Lords still didn't speak, waiting for Evan Yang's judgment. Helpless, Evan Yang threw out the Hundred‑Fiend Cauldron, directly capturing all five Demon Lords. Afterward, he released them, and they came out changed—now filled with fear toward Evan Yang. He could kill them anytime he wanted.
Evan Yang had taken advantage of their weakness, using the Hundred‑Fiend Cauldron to control them.
"Can you talk now?" Evan Yang asked.
"Alright, I'll speak." one of them said.
"You were all fine just now, but you forced me to use this trick. Sigh." Evan Yang sighed.
The Demon Lord looked embarrassed, then explained, "Titus Skyflood somehow found a method to forcibly open the gate between the Immortal Realm and Devil Realm ahead of time. Not only that, he created eighteen gates at once. But there's a drawback—they move around and only appear periodically, unlike before when there was just one gate that lasted hundreds of years."
"So that's how it is," Evan Yang replied, then muttered to himself, "Looks like to destroy these gates, I have to find out what method Titus Skyflood used."
But Evan Yang knew Titus Skyflood's strength. Even if he worked with the four妖尊, they might not win. That was his biggest worry, so he always tried to avoid Titus Skyflood.
"Do you know any way, or how to destroy them?" Evan Yang asked directly.
"That's impossible. Only Titus Skyflood knows. We just follow his orders," the Demon Lord said.
"So where is Titus Skyflood now?" Evan Yang asked.
"He's on a certain planet, breaking the formation with other Demon Lords," the Demon Lord replied.
"Alright, got it. Now, there's something I need you five to help with. That shouldn't be a problem, right?" Evan Yang asked with a smile.
With their lives in Evan Yang's hands, the five Demon Lords didn't dare refuse. They looked at him, wondering what he wanted. "Go sabotage Titus Skyflood and the others' efforts to break the formation," Evan Yang said. "What? If we do that, we'll be discovered and killed!" one Demon Lord exclaimed, and the others showed terrified expressions.
"Don't get worked up. I'm just asking you to sabotage them, not do it openly. Are you really that clueless?" Evan Yang said helplessly.
"Uh..."
"Alright, think it over. I'll sneak onto that planet myself and keep an eye on things. If you need help, contact me," Evan Yang said.
Faced with Evan Yang's orders, the five Demon Lords had no choice but to agree. They took Evan Yang to Titus Skyflood's planet, but Evan Yang hid himself early on. As long as Titus Skyflood didn't deliberately check the surroundings, Evan Yang wouldn't be discovered.
Evan Yang stayed in a busy part of the city, while the five Demon Lords, now somewhat healed with Evan Yang's help, went to where Titus Skyflood and the others were gathered.
At that moment, Titus Skyflood and several others were meditating. Around them was a small formation, radiating power into the sky and toward the Ninefold Heaven Formation. With others helping elsewhere, the formation was being slowly eroded.
This formation was mysterious—it could combine power from elsewhere to break the main formation.
The five Demon Lords stood at the edge of the formation, unsure what to do. If they acted now, they might sabotage things—but they'd be doomed.
So the five waited there. Titus Skyflood soon sensed something odd outside, opened his eyes, and asked, "Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be patrolling, keeping an eye on the planets' safety?"
Suddenly, one of the five Demon Lords answered, "Something happened."
"What happened? Tell me," Titus Skyflood said.
"Dai Demon Lord is in trouble, and Demoncloud returned to the Devil Realm," the Demon Lord said. The others didn't know what he meant—was he about to expose Evan Yang? If so, none of them would survive.
The other four were shocked and secretly cursed the one who spoke for being so reckless.
