The entire Broken World was in disorder as they heard the dominating and pressuring words of Yaotzin, and multiple powerful sects and influential families in different continents felt the demonic presence of the demons in the southern continent, with some powerhouses already contemplating whether to be involved in the battle or not, some already packing their treasuries as if packing would save them from a being who had spoken across continents.
In a throne room of the northern continent many men argued as they debated whether or not to participate in the war, and this type of meeting was happening all over the northern continent and the other continents as well, voices overlapping until the air in those halls felt heavier than the war they were discussing.
"Your majesty, we should seize this opportunity to ally ourselves with other continents, which will later provide us connections to knowledge and resources of other civilizations."
"No, we must consider surrendering to the demons as no continent has such powerful cultivators to counter these demons. History has proven that to be true."
Multiple sects also began gathering their disciples and special resources as they headed towards the southern continent. Some saw this war as an opportunity to make connections. Some sought after fame, power, wealth, and even to die as the later generation would remember them in glory like the saints twenty thousand years ago whose glory still lives on to the present day.
Powerful entities who have been cultivating for hundreds of years left their seclusion as they also headed for the southern continent, some flying with swords, beasts, space ships, and even on gigantic books, some flying with their energies as it coated their bodies. The space void above the Broken World trembled as the movement of millions or even billions of cultivators caused the flow of Heavenly Qi to be directed towards the southern continent, the sky itself seeming to lean south as if the realm had chosen a direction.
In the Ju capital the illusionary screens still hung in the throne room as the cultivators watched the southern desert, and Ju Shu and Ju Fan remained silent as they recognized the dark-skinned race that had once stood with the humans twenty thousand years ago. Patrick sat on the throne with the same bored expression, watching a boy stand on a mountain of wolves as if the boy were interesting enough to keep the screen on, and Grace's earlier words about a Star entity still sat in the air of the hall even as the southern continent began to fill with more than wolves.
Southern Continent.
The demon god hovered above his army as he watched Drucius standing on the massacred mountain wolves. He didn't react as he looked with a blank expression, his demonic aura continuously rising as the enormous dark portal behind him supplied him with an endless amount of demonic energy. The demon god saw the proud look on Drucius' face as he had an expression of accomplishment, and he mockingly smiled as he held his left hand in the air.
SNAP!
Drucius stood on top of the massacred mountain wolves as he looked at the demons before him, their numbers looking uncountable as their army occupied the entire sky and the widespread desert without an ounce of space left between them. There were over twenty sets of demons. Some emerged from underground, some from ground-centered portals, and some in the sky with wings big enough to wrap around their bodies. But the numbers weren't the only thing, as the demonic auras of the demons were dominating from bottom to the top.
The bottom demons had the weakest sensible auras, while the top demons were barely sensible, and those flying above them had unsensible auras. The order continued as the demon with the largest wings hovered above the lower demons, a portal bigger than the other portals situated above his head. The next moment Drucius saw the demon leader mockingly smile at him, and he snapped his fingers the next moment as a shocking event happened.
Drisilia stood far in the distance as she felt extreme ominous energy flowing into Yaotzin, her eyes brightening as she flashed from her location. Drucius saw the demon snap his fingers as he stood confused about what would happen, but then Drucius felt something shake under him as he instinctively looked to see what happened.
A shocking event was happening. Drucius saw the detached limbs of the massacred wolves slowly attach as demonic energy continuously flowed in them, bones finding sockets, fur drinking darkness, mountain bodies knitting as if death had been a pause rather than an ending. Instinctively Drucius jumped at one of the closest mountain wolves that were still in the regenerating process as he threw a powerful punch into the face of the wolf, expecting an instant elimination. But to his surprise his punch was dodged by the wolf despite its mountainous body, and Drucius frowned as he saw the other wolves were about to regenerate completely.
"Nice try, kid, but your race won't be as annoying as you were two hundred decades ago. I prepared these wolves specifically for the annihilation of your race."
Drucius heard the demon god speak as he stood tiny in the middle of the twenty thousand wolves. He felt absolute pressure descending from the wolves upon him as his body was pinned in the ground, his feet digging into the sand as the pressure increased from the wolves, the desert itself seeming to want him buried before the first real bite.
"Drucius, unleash your braces!"
While Drucius felt his body slowly sinking into the sand he heard his mother's words as she ran towards him. The wolves felt another person coming closer as they instantly turned and faced Drisilia, over five hundred mountain wolves facing Drisilia as they growled at her. Their red eyes shone redder than before as saliva leaked from their mouths.
With his mother's bellowing words Drucius understood that he had completed his life and death battle and had finally gained a title. Without hesitation Drucius held the brace on his right wrist with his left hand as he easily ripped it from his wrist, doing the same on the left as his arms were free from the tons of weight that had been sitting on him since he was old enough to stand under a sun. With his hands freed Drucius slowly bent as he jumped the next instant, and while in the air he easily broke the braces on his ankles as he landed on the ground again, the sand cracking under feet that no longer carried stone.
"Hahaha, finally, let's get serious."
Drucius spoke as he vanished from his spot, appearing above one of the wolves as he made a fist, punching the head of the wolf, and Drucius instantly obliterated the head of the wolf as its body continued dissipating. Drucius used his arms to slice off the legs of hundreds of wolves as he made his way to Drisilia, origin strength finally moving the way it had wanted to move since the first wolf had looked down at him.
Drisilia stood before the five hundred mountain wolves as she inhaled, vanishing the next instant as her silhouette appeared in the face of the leading wolf.
Punch! Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof!
Drisilia punched as multiple poof sounds resounded in the surrounding, and with a single punch from Drisilia over twenty mountain wolves were instantly obliterated as they made poof sounds. Drisilia continued her punch session as within a couple of minutes she was done with the five hundred wolves and even began fighting the others, making way for her son Drucius as if clearing a path through a forest that happened to have teeth.
Drucius saw his mother clearing the way for him as he jumped in the air, his jumping height tripling the height of the wolves as he landed next to his mother. The mother and son duo began exterminating hundreds of wolves as they cleared the twenty thousand wolves in less than fifteen minutes, sand turning red and then turning empty as bodies that had been mountains became nothing that could stand. Drisilia, seeing that they cleared the way, spoke "Let's go" to Drucius as she darted away from the regenerating wolves, and Drucius saw the regenerating wolves as he heard his mother's words, limbs already finding each other again behind them as Yaotzin's snap continued to work even after the wolves had been erased a second time.
Without hesitation the mother and son flashed away from the wolves as they appeared hundreds of meters away in the distance. Drisilia looked at her son as she asked.
"What title name do you wish to be called?"
Drucius heard his mother as he thought, looking at the twenty thousand wolves as his eyes brightened, and he spoke.
"The Demon Executor."
"Well, Drucius the Demon Executor doesn't sound bad," Drisilia spoke as she smiled at her son. Suddenly the space over the southern continent trembled as one could feel the coming of numerous Qi presences. Drucius and Drisilia looked as they began seeing countless white portals appearing in the sky above the desert, others being millions of beasts strolling out of the void as they appeared above the southern continent, the sky filling until the desert no longer looked like a desert so much as a floor under an arriving world.
"Well, it's been a while since I saw my wife and son!"
A voice rang out behind the mother and son as they turned, only to see hundreds of thousands of dark-skinned beings flying in a formation above them, sun symbols lighting as they left their separate dimension and took the southern sky for themselves. The man who was previously floating next to the sun spoke as he descended next to the two. Drisilia rushed into hugging the man as both beings kissed. Drucius turned his head not to see his parents kissing.
"Drucius, my little nephew, come here."
The light-skinned man instantly appeared behind Drucius as he hugged him from the ground, dreads falling over the boy's shoulder as if the war had waited long enough for family to stand in it.
"The northern continent is here." "The western continent is here."
Bellowing words sounded in the atmosphere as billions of humans continuously appeared above the void of the southern continent, banners and beasts and flying palaces stacking until the void looked crowded enough to crack. Words came from only two continents as it confused some cultivators. They looked around but weren't able to find a single powerhouse or cultivator from the eastern continent, the direction that should have been loud remaining empty as if an entire land had forgotten how to arrive.
In the void above, five beings appeared in the air as one of the beings spoke, the fat Scholar Immortal folding his hands on his chest as the Beast Immortal, the crystal-beard man, and the lightning-eyed man stood with the Space Sword Immortal who had pulled them from the Saint tomb.
"Space Sword Immortal, where is this man you mentioned earlier? And where even are the cultivators from the eastern continent?"
The Space Sword Immortal heard the Scholar Immortal as he was confused, shouldn't the Ju Empire be here already, and he closed his eyes and scanned the Broken World, but to his surprise he couldn't find the eastern continent, let alone sense it. He tried again as he truly was baffled about what was happening, space techniques that had walked him through tombs and barriers returning nothing but south, north, west, and a hole where east should have been sitting.
"Hey, look, there is a big thing over us."
A human cultivator screamed as it drew the attention of almost all the billions of cultivators. Above the southern continent was a gigantic landmass floating over it, this landmass comparable to the size of a continent as it indeed was a continent, shadow falling across demon and wolf and arriving army alike as the eastern continent hung in the sky like a second ground that had decided the desert needed a roof.
"What's happening? Is that the Eastern continent?"
