Chapter 795: The Demons’ Interception

The Origin Demons captured by over 800 Immortal Emperors over five years were all handed over to Su Che—over a million in total. On average, each Immortal Emperor had captured more than a thousand. Among them, there were over 800,000 Bronze-Winged Demons, 170,000 Silver-Winged Demon Generals, and over 30,000 Golden-Winged Demon Kings.
This haul far exceeded Su Che’s expectations. He had thought this was merely the outskirts of the Origin Demon Realm, where even the Immortal Emperors dared not venture deep into the core area, so it seemed impossible to capture so many demons. It appeared he had underestimated the abilities of these Immortal Emperors.
170,000 Silver-Winged Demon Generals were equivalent to 170,000 Golden Immortal prisoners; over 30,000 Golden-Winged Demon Kings were equivalent to over 30,000 Great Luo Golden Immortals. What astonishing numbers!
For Su Che, even without combining these demons with true Immortal prisoners of the same rank to create Immortal Fruit, simply turning over 30,000 Golden-Winged Demon Kings into soul slaves would still be a huge profit.
Undoubtedly, most of these 30,000 Golden-Winged Demon Kings were captured by those Immortal Emperors at the fifth heaven level or above, especially the five Immortal Emperors at the eighth heaven level.
Golden-Winged Demon Kings had no chance of resisting Immortal Emperors at the eighth heaven level; encountering them was as easy as picking fruits.
At that moment, the over 800 Immortal Emperors waited quietly for Su Che to announce the results. A few who were not confident in their own achievements were even more anxious.
“Zhan Jun, Yang Qi, Lian Shan, Gong Mi…”
Su Che called out the names of seventeen Immortal Emperors one after another. “The Immortal Emperors just named, please step forward.”
The seventeen named Immortal Emperors floated out of the crowd, each looking somewhat embarrassed, clearly having done something shameful.
These seventeen were twelve at the first heaven level and five at the second heaven level—among the Immortal Emperors, they were among the weakest.
To prevent them from resorting to even more foolish actions out of desperation, the five Immortal Emperors at the eighth heaven level, including Guang Zhong, immediately came to Su Che’s side to protect him.
“You seventeen, please withdraw voluntarily. I see no need for further words,” Su Che said calmly.
The seventeen Immortal Emperors nodded silently, refusing to argue further. The scornful gazes from the over 800 Immortal Emperors around them already made them feel utterly humiliated.
Without saying another word, the seventeen could only withdraw dejectedly and fly swiftly toward the direction of the spatial passage.
The reason they were eliminated was cheating!

There were seventeen of them. Worried that their strength was too low and they might not be able to defeat their opponents, they resorted to a cheating method they thought was clever but which anyone could have figured out: passing off fakes as real. Over these five years, they released a group of subordinates from their personal spaces, causing them to be corrupted into numerous Copper-Winged Demons, with a few even becoming Silver-Winged Demon Generals. They thought they had a chance of getting away with it, but Su Che knew too much about the Origin Demons. The power of the Heavenly Dao in the Immortal Prison could instantly determine the age of those demons after corruption. Mortals have bone age, immortals have immortal age, and demons have demon age. Moreover, with Lao Hei’s telepathy, no secret in the minds of those who entered the Immortal Prison could remain hidden. Those with a demon age of less than five years must have cheated—there was no need for further explanation, as none of the present Immortal Emperors were fools and would not tolerate such excuses. So once exposed, they didn’t even have time to defend themselves. It was already embarrassing enough—time to leave! All the cheaters were caught, and it was time to announce the results of the others’ assessments. The Immortal Emperors grew nervous once again… Unexpectedly, Su Che waved his hand and said, “Let’s go to the Immortal Lord’s Treasury.” In an instant, in high spirits, Su Che took off into the void first. The Immortal Emperors hurried after him. Emperor Guangzhong approached Su Che and asked in a low voice, “Judge, why haven’t the results been announced?” “There’s no need,” Su Che replied with a smile. “Your performance has far exceeded my expectations. I took the liberty of modifying the elimination rules. It’s sufficient to eliminate just over a hundred Immortal Emperors who failed to arrive on time, along with the cheaters. Everyone here has passed the final assessment!” “That’s great!” Hearing this, some of the Immortal Emperors with lower scores were overjoyed. They thought they would be eliminated, but the usually strict judge showed leniency, and all over eight hundred people passed the assessment. “Can everyone enter the Immortal Lord’s Treasury?” Another Immortal Emperor at the Eighth Heaven level, Yuanlong, was still unsure and asked again. “Yes,” Su Che nodded. “Everyone can enter the treasury, but not everyone will gain anything. The treasures and opportunities belong only to a few. Please be prepared for that.” “Of course!”

All the Immortal Emperors nodded. True opportunities belonged only to the rarest lucky ones—a fact no one disputed. Yet, faced with such a rare chance, no one would willingly give it up.

There was only one Immortal Sovereign Treasury in the entire Immortal Realm, and such an opportunity came once in trillions of years. After all, in the history of the Immortal Realm, only one Immortal Sovereign had ever perished.

The Immortal Emperors were filled with anticipation and excitement—they were about to enter the Immortal Sovereign Treasury, which in itself was a tremendous fortune…

But this joy didn’t last long, as an unusual tremor came from the distant void.

“Bad news! They’ve blocked our path.”

Immortal Emperor Guangzhong gazed into the distance with a grave expression.

The five Immortal Emperors at the Eighth Heaven level were the first to notice it. A few breaths later, the other Immortal Emperors also changed expressions. Only Su Che, due to his low cultivation level, still hadn’t seen what was happening.

“There’s no other way—we must charge through!” Immortal Emperor Guangzhong ordered firmly. “The five of us will protect the Arbiter. The fighting is left to you all, fellow cultivators.”

“Don’t worry.”

“No problem!”

The other Immortal Emperors replied in unison. Without further words, over a dozen Immortal Emperors at the Seventh Heaven level immediately flew to the front, transforming the entire formation into a pointed cone. Su Che was placed in the safest core position.

It was then that Su Che finally saw clearly—the distant void was completely covered by a dense army of demons, like a huge curtain hanging in the sky, with not a single gap to be seen.

The Origin Demon Realm was a space entirely different from the Immortal Realm. The teleportation and transmission techniques that immortals were skilled in were useless here; they could only fly normally.

Although the Immortal Emperors could also try to bypass the demon army, that would be a waste of time. Moreover, this was the domain of the demons. If they avoided this wave, they would be blocked by another.

Charge!

Charging forward was the best solution.

An Immortal Emperor had experienced countless battles and fights throughout their life, having gone through numerous life-threatening situations… The toughest times had long passed, and now that they had reached the rank of Immortal Emperor, nothing like this could scare any of them.

Besides, everyone had taken anti-demon pills, eliminating the greatest threat of demonization. What was there to fear?

Just a bunch of demons trying to stop eight hundred Immortal Emperors?

Without fear, they charged straight ahead.

Vroom…

When they got close enough, a cyan-gray energy barrier suddenly appeared ahead, stretching from sky to earth with no visible edges. It was a defensive barrier conjured by millions of demons, now used to block the Immortal Emperor’s army.
“Great Penetration Technique!”
A Seventh Heaven Immortal Emperor at the forefront roared.
Boom!
At least five hundred Immortal Emperors combined to unleash the Great Penetration Technique, each at least at the master level. One after another, beams of light converged, and the five hundred techniques merged into a massive beam that soared into the sky, tearing through the heavens as if it could pierce the entire Origin Demon Realm.
Hiss!
A hole nearly a hundred zhang in diameter was instantly created in the cyan-gray barrier ahead, showing its vulnerability.
Beyond the barrier, the white beam retained its full power and instantly penetrated into one of the demon army’s formations.
Sssss…
Countless demons were instantly vaporized and turned to nothingness. Only a few figures could be seen darting out of the beam—undoubtedly the several great demon emperors hidden within that formation, the only ones capable of surviving such terrifying destructive power.
In this single strike, at least ten thousand Origin Demons were killed, as if a passage had been created through the grayish-black sky.
However, there were too many demons. Before the Immortal Emperor’s army could reach it, the passage closed instantly and was blocked again by countless demons.
Huh!
Before the Immortal Emperors could launch a second attack, a demon with dark golden wings fluttered toward them, getting closer and larger by the moment. By the time it got close, it had grown to a terrifying size of tens of thousands of zhang tall.
“Roar!”
With continuous roars and swinging claws, it charged at them at terrifying speed.
Of course, this was not a real demon but an attack force conjured by the entire demon army—a massive demon god formed entirely from vast magical energy, intended to scatter the Immortal Emperor’s army.
“Great Defense Technique!”
Another Seventh Heaven Immortal Emperor roared again.
Vroom…
Over eight hundred Immortal Emperors simultaneously used the Great Defense Technique, each at least at the grandmaster level. Their defensive powers converged to form a dagger-shaped barrier, seemingly aiming to use this energy dagger to slay the towering demon god head-on and pierce through it.
“Great Cutting Technique!”
Yet another Seventh Heaven Immortal Emperor ordered almost simultaneously.
Huh!
Over six hundred Immortal Emperors unleashed the Great Cutting Technique in an instant, covering the outermost layer of the dagger-shaped barrier with this immensely powerful cutting force.

This is equivalent to endowing this sharp blade with an invincible edge—excellent steel should be used for the blade itself.
Buzz… buzz… buzz…
The humming sound generated by the cutting power shook the heavens and earth, causing the entire void to tremble.
“The techniques of the Great Way can be combined in such ways…”
Su Che was greatly impressed. At this moment, he felt no fear at all, only anticipation: could the sharp blade composed of eight hundred Immortal Emperors slay this demon god?
