"Since the three Saints have all taken their positions, let's begin" Venerable Xin ordered.

Seeing that the three Saints of humanity have entered battle with the six Beast Saints and started to cast their spells, Venerable Xin silently took a step back.

This is his only chance.

At this very moment, the three Saints' inner sight were locked onto the six Beast Saints, unable to divide their attention elsewhere.

Venerable Xin quickly tapped his Inventory Bag and took out a certain item.

It was a dusty old ceramic vase, unassuming at first glance.

But if you carefully look, you'd see the top of the vase was covered in a thin layer of smoke, there seems to be countless beings within that smoke, emitting a mourning air.

Looking at this item, Venerable Xin eyes couldn't help but become frenzied and boiling.

This was a demonic treasure that the Demon Lord left to him before leaving, solidifying his current status within the ranks of demons.

The main reason why all the demons and demon beasts on this world accepted him as the supreme commander was this thing in his hands.

Venerable Xin coldly grinned, holding the vase close to his chest while pointing the opening of the vase towards the six Beast Saints and the three Saints of humanity.

"By the power of the million demonic souls under my control, [Stop]!"

Deep inside Demon Clouds River, countless dark lights flew out of the current, turning into strange and eerie runes atop the water surface.

It was like the entire river had turned into a giant talisman, but the power it emits is that of endless evil.

As the dark light became stronger, the demonic essence rose all the way up to the sky.

This giant talisman had been activated.

Everything above the river was stopped in place, even invisible things like the wind and waves were frozen in place, unable to move a single bit.

The surprise and anger that appeared on the three Saints of humanity's faces were also frozen.

They could not move a single muscle.

And the six Beast Saints that were fighting against them were the same.

"Ahahaha, using this river as a talisman and the power of Tianma as the trigger, finally, after 60 long years it has been completed, showing its magnificent prowess!" Venerable Xin laughed in a frenzy as he savored the taste of victory.

A second later, all the runes dissipated as a circular dark light shot up from the Demon Clouds River, enveloping the three Saints of humanity as well as the six Beast Saints.

The dark light swallowed them all.

9 Sainted realm powerhouses couldn't move even an inch inside that dark light.

——-this was an extremely strong sealing technique, but it hasn't directly harmed the three Saints of humanity even at all.

Yet Venerable Xin's eyes only showed a frenzied joy as he spat out some bright blue blood, he crazily shouted, vaguely chanting some sort of spell.

"The ten corners of the world"

"In this endless world of mortals"

"Thousands of millions of peace all taken by this practitioner"

"Oh countless Tianma of Liberation, come surround this endless world"

As he was chanting, the entire Demon Clouds River flow stopped, no matter if it was the waves, the current, the whirlpools or the water bubbles, everything stayed absolutely still.

Venerable Xin laughed loudly, then lifted the vase above his head, shouting: "[Receive]!"

The raging Demon Clouds River folded upon itself, turning into a ball of water surrounded by endless mist and flew into the vase as was commanded.

After losing its water, Demon Clouds River became nothing but yellow sand, as if it was a dead and desolate desert.

The entire Demon Clouds River lost its other-worldly appearance from before, no longer teeming with spirit essence.

Venerable Xin spat out more blue blood, infusing all his spirit energy into the ceramic vase, then suddenly shouted: "Tianma, [Manifest]!"

A dark light shot out from inside the vase, hitting the layers of sand of what used to be Demon Clouds River.

All the sand instantly disappeared.

The true appearance of Demon Clouds River was hidden beneath the layers of sand from the very beginning.

And now, thanks to Venerable Xin's spell, the true face of Demon Clouds River has shown itself for all to see.

Countless black statues filled the bottom of the once-river.

Every single statue was a female of stunning beauty and allure, wild and captivating.

They all wore thin as veils palace maid clothing, revealing their stunning figures, leaving nothing to imagination with their numerous gestures and postures.

Looking at these scantily clad female statues, Venerable Xin couldn't help but show fear despite his frenzied eyes.

He tried his best to regain his composure, shouting at the remaining Beast Saints behind: "My beast energy is used up, come here and help me!"

———-he already used up all this energy from just using the ceramic vase for a few breaths.

Seeing that it was a crucial moment, the six other Beast Saints all quickly placed their hands on his back and transferred their energy over.

Receiving the full power of six, Venerable Xin's face lit up.

He made hand seal after hand seal towards the ceramic vase, then pointed at the multitudes of black female statues below.

He shouted: "Realm of Liberation, Grand Realm of Liberation. Corrupting the Realm of Liberation, Tianma Enchantresses of the worlds, [Return]!"

The vase shook.

The countless statues below were also shaking.

Klong!

A fragile ring emitted from the vase, shaking heaven and earth.

Following this ring, some sort of force seems to have acted on the countless statues.

The outer black layer began to break off piece by piece.

And the female statues returned to life.

Misty white skin, enchantingly beautiful faces, their blank eyes began to regain their former luster, entrapping anyone that looks at them straight, unable to move on.

But their bodies remained transparent and misty, without true form.

The thousands of millions of female palace maids flew up and filled the sky, as if the maids of Heaven's Palace had descended on the realm of man.

Two particularly beautiful maidens flew out and nodded at Venerable Xin.

They both kept their mouths closed and said nothing, yet billions of voices rang in Venerable Xin's ears at the same time.

『The previous group that arrived had to possess spirit beasts, finally their time of salvation has come, your contributions are great』

"I can't accept such an honor, it was all thanks to your hard work" Venerable Xin clasped his fist, showing a stiff smile on his face.

As the two female saw his expression, they said nothing else, only turned around and flew to either side of the ceramic vase.

Venerable Xin very quickly retreated backward.

One on the left and one on the right, the two female held the vase, slowly flying towards the three Saints of humanity.

As they flew, the vase became bigger and bigger.

When they reached the dark ball of light, the vase was already big enough to contain all three Saints of humanity as well as the six Beast Saints.

And then, a crack opened in space, revealing a deep yellow evening glow.

Inside that glow, countless screams of horrific torture and agony was heard, as well as the occasional scary and angry figure that appeared and disappeared right after.

The two females collected the dark light containing the three Saints of humanity and the six Beast Saints, then entered that evening glow.

As soon as they went in, the glow disappeared, the crack in space also slowly sealed itself.

The breath that Venerable Xin was holding in was finally released as he couldn't help but laugh triumphantly.

"Ahahahaha, they all left! All left! From now on, this world shall never see the figures of the three Saints again!"

Just like that, as simple as turning your own hand over, the three Saints of humanity no longer have any way to return.

He was crazily happy.

"Venerable Xin, pardon me asking, but where did the six other Beast Saints go?" a Beast Saint asked with extreme care.

While Venerable Xin's mood was still good, he very nonchalantly answered: "They left for the Tianma's Realm of Liberation. Don't you worry, the three Saints of humanity are permanently dead, while our people will get the chance to cultivate with the Tianma's scripture, their strength will quickly increase, becoming stronger than you and I"

As the Beast Saint listened and thought about it, he swallowed back the words he was about to say next.

Seeing his reaction, Venerable Xin know that his excuse was accepted and was even happier.

Whoever they are, do you really think they'll be able to leave the Tianma's Realm of Liberation alive?

Not just their bodies but their souls will also be eaten without leaving a single scrap behind.

They lost six Beast Saints, but in exchange, the three Saints are no more, this was a profitable deal for them.

And if the remaining Beast Saints are smart enough to read the mood, they'll be able to keep being his subordinate and live lavishly from now on.

"Now, it is our time to harvest the spoils of victory"

He licked his lips, staring at the army of humans standing across.

What expressions would these humans have when they find the spirit beasts that they trust so much attack them from behind?

Revealing a cruel smile, he turned to look at the countless Tianma Enchantresses in the sky.

One of them lightly nodded at him.

Then the entire sky of beautiful women disappeared without a trace.
