Fang Yuan was extremely concerned about the passage to the Ancestral Demon Realm beneath the altar, but he clearly understood that with his current strength, entering the Ancestral Demon Realm would mean certain death.

Therefore, destroying the altar at this moment and revealing the passage would be completely counterproductive.

Unless one is a fool, they wouldn't do such a thing.

"Alright, then we will head back first. You should quickly set up the array!"

As the demonic energy continues to gush out, it likely won't be long before it starts spreading beyond the valley."

Jiang Che nodded, reminding Fang Yuan.

In Jiang Che's view, this demonic energy is like a ticking time bomb installed on Tiger King Ridge, while Lao Er and the array are the power cut-off switches, able to block the transmission of the bomb's signal.

As long as Lao Er controls it and there are no issues with the array, Tiger King Ridge can remain worry-free.

"Alright, big brother. By the way, I will be going into seclusion here for a while. Big brother, take this.

If Tiger King Ridge is in trouble, just crush the token, and I will immediately break my seclusion."

Fang Yuan nodded and then summoned a palm-sized black and red token filled with runes from within himself and handed it to Jiang Che.

Actually, Fang Yuan knew that if even Tiger King Ridge guarded by big brother was in trouble, then his sixth-tier cultivation wouldn't be of much help even if he came out of seclusion.

But as he is a part of Tiger King Ridge, he naturally wants to contribute to it.

"Then stay here and cultivate peacefully. If anything arises, you can also come to Peach Grove Valley to find me. I will head out with Third Sister first."

Jiang Che put away the token, gave Fang Yuan a reminder, and then left the valley with Nangong Luo.

After exiting the valley, Nangong Luo, who hadn't spoken earlier, thought of some past life rumors and still felt a bit uneasy. She immediately looked at her elder brother and said, "Big brother, under this altar there might be an Ancient Demon Monarch hidden. Are you really just going to let Lao Er handle it? Lao Er isn't one to be easily satisfied. If he ends up destroying the altar, it will be..."

Nangong Luo hadn't forgotten that Lao Er was the Ancient Demon Monarch; he too was a true demon.

If Lao Er colluded with the demon suppressed inside, then Tiger King Ridge would be turned upside down.

Moreover, the demon energy of the Ancient Demon Monarch possesses a strong eroding ability. In the past life, with just some demon energy, it could demonize large areas of living beings, bringing significant damage to humans and demons alike.

Now, if the Ancient Demon Monarch breaks the seal, it would surely ignite a world-changing demon tide, truly signaling the arrival of the apocalypse!

"Relax, Third Sister! Although Lao Er is full of crooked schemes, he's not that foolish. He's just eyeing those demon energies!"

Jiang Che chuckled, comforting her.

In this world, Lao Er is the infamous Black Demon Tiger, but in the Ancestral Demon Realm, Lao Er would immediately become a precarious pawn. As a seasoned old demon, Lao Er wouldn't be incapable of understanding this.

"Great King, Third Great King!"

At this moment, Xiong Da, who had been guarding the valley entrance, saw Jiang Che and Nangong Luo and hurried over to respectfully greet them.

"Xiong Da, how is the situation on the battlefield outside?"

Jiang Che nodded, inquiring.

"To report to both Great Kings, the battlefield has been cleaned up. Under my arrangement, the wounded demon soldiers have been taken down for treatment, and the slain demon soldiers have been buried.

Lastly, according to Great King's instructions, all the corpses of the demonized demon soldiers have been burned."

Xiong Da smiled naively and reported everything truthfully.

Upon hearing this, satisfaction appeared in Jiang Che's eyes.

"Great King, Third Great King, what about this valley?"

Then, Xiong Da looked at the valley with some trepidation, hesitatingly saying.

The demonized demon soldiers that emerged from this valley last time gave him quite a scare. Now, Xiong Da is very worried about this mysterious valley and fears some unexpected situation might occur again.

Currently, seeing that the Great King seems not to have solved the issues within the valley, Xiong Da can't help but feel a bit anxious.

"Relax, unless something unexpected happens, there won't be any issues here in the future.

Moreover, from now on, this valley will be known as Demon Valley. Any member of Tiger King Ridge is strictly prohibited from entering without command!"

Jiang Che first explained, then solemnly issued a command.

"Upon hearing this, I will ensure the order is spread!"

Xiong Da relaxed slightly in his heart and quickly responded.

Jiang Che nodded and then, with Nangong Luo, flew towards Peach Grove Valley.

...

After Jiang Che and Nangong Luo left, Fang Yuan was the only one left in the demon-infused valley.

Fang Yuan, feeling excited, quickly ran to the side of the rift, and in an instant, the dense demonic energy washed over him, causing Fang Yuan to look intoxicated.

"Hehehe, refreshing, truly refreshing!"

Fang Yuan immediately sneered, feeling extremely pleasant.

"I should first set up the array, and while at it, use the array to gather demonic energy origin."

Thinking of his elder brother's advice, Fang Yuan's eyes lit up.

He wanted to establish a compound array with multiple functions, capable of blocking external enemies and gathering demonic energy origin.

Without hesitation, Fang Yuan immediately acted.

A few hours later, using some strong bones of powerful entities, with the heartwood of some demonized trees in the valley, and some Spiritual Objects, Fang Yuan finally managed to refine thirty-six Blood-Imbued Jade Stele-like array bases.

The next moment, the thirty-six array bases shot out, landing throughout the valley, instantly forming a blood-black array that enveloped the entire valley. This array used the demonic energy in the valley as the power source; as long as the demonic energy persisted, the array would be difficult to break.

At the same time, the demonic energy in the valley seemed to be summoned and began rapidly gathering toward the center of the valley, gradually forming a giant black mist ball, slowly rotating in the air.

Seeing the mist ball formed by the demonic energy origin, Fang Yuan's eyes shone. He quickly approached the mist ball, concentrated his mind, and began to operate the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Scripture.

Instantly, the black mist on the mist ball began to flow like water, rushing into Fang Yuan's body.

Immediately, blood light gleamed, and the demonic energy origin entering his body was instantly refined, causing the aura on Fang Yuan's body to rise rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After a few breaths, Fang Yuan, having swallowed a few breaths, stopped operating the cultivation technique and opened his eyes, filled with joy.

Fast, truly too fast!

"Hahaha, with the help of this demonic energy origin, this Demon Monarch's cultivation will definitely advance rapidly!"

"Moreover, perhaps... I might surpass the Elder Brother!"

Unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, Fang Yuan burst into laughter.

Though Fang Yuan greatly admired his elder brother's achievements, as an Ancient Demon Monarch, Fang Yuan still harbors the ambition of being invincible in the world.
