BOOOOM! It sounded as if the entire world was shaking.

A large mountain was crushed into pieces as countless broken rocks flew into the air, creating clouds of dust obscuring everything.

Suddenly, with a shout, a figure broke out from the dust clouds. This figure, who was emitting a dazzling light like thunder and lightning in a stormy night, was quickly flying forward. His tremendous speed produced a long streak of dust trailing him with the shape of a serpent dashing forward.

Behind this figure, a crowd of people flew through the clouds, creating countless long streaks of dust. They were madly chasing after the person in front, as if they have lost their minds!

"What good New Satan Faction, what great Old Satan faction! A total of 2379 devils chasing me through more than 800 kilometers! Aha… You guys are really taking great efforts to eliminate me! Is my little life really such a trouble for you all?! Is the fact I got those powers really that bad for you all that you had to exterminate my whole clan?!"

A loud explosion echoed out as Kou Vine - the man flying in front, suddenly stopped on an enormous rock, before quickly turning around with a wild laughter. An extremely spear strike flew out of his hand at full speed, like a flashing streak of lightning in the eternal night of the Underworld.

It was the last of the power he had!

The light flew into the crowd like a lightning strike, causing pitiful cries to burst out. But as one fell, another rose. Some of them bled in the skies before falling to the ground, all the while swinging their hands and feet!

Kou Vine, who was now bleeding profusely, was rendered unable to fly because of his previous strike.

Although Kou Vine was among the most powerful young devils in the Underworld, after this last amazing spear strike, he had become nothing but a spent bullet. At the moment, he was like a lamp out of oil - he had no energy left for flight. When he landed, the rocks under his feet were quickly stained with his blood!

Panting heavily, Kou Vine's eyes were still filled with scorn as he sneered, "Humph, even if I have reached the end of my life today, even if this young master is doomed to fall, do you really think that there will be many of you who will survive here? That any of you will get what was born in me after the death of the Four Satans?!"

The rock where he stood was on the peak of a huge mountain.

When Kou Vine looked back, he was like a king in the sky, looking down with imperceptible stateliness even in this imminent predicament!

Fearing Kou Vine's aggression, the hundreds of devils chasing him stood still in front of him! They were looking at him with misgivings in their eyes. Far behind them, beyond the limits of one's eyesight, there was a path. It was the path they had traveled along which was currently made of countless corpses. Suddenly, an unexpected howling wind came over, and a few decapitated heads with open eyes were blown and sent rolling.

The cost they paid for Kou's death was obviously shown by this path of carnage which was built of flesh and blood, covering hundreds of kilometers over mountains and rivers!

Although the Vine Demon was clearly at the end of his rope, and although the surrounding people knew that the Vine Demon would find it impossible to get away, for the moment, none of them still dared to take a step forward!

All of them clearly knew that, at this moment, whoever dared to take a step forward, would instantly get killed, get buried along with the dead, and go to hell with Kou Vine!

No matter who, there would be no exception! No one doubted that as they could see this young hero of this generation.

It was a clear point with no room for any doubt.

Because the guy standing in front of them, was the Vine Demon!

Laughing out loud at all the noble devils and at all enemies with no fear whatsoever, he was the monarch of the universe!

The Vine Demon was a legend in the Underworld!

The 2379 devils from the supposedly enemy factions had set up huge traps and used countless approaches to hunt him down, traveled eight hundred kilometers through mountains and rivers and nothing on the entire path continued the same as it was before, however, Kou Vine, on his own, had unexpectedly killed almost all the 2379 devils that were hunting him, leaving countless broken lands and piles of dead devils' bodies wherever he went!

Who could dare to look down upon such a formidable person?

Even when he had reached his end, nobody would dare to challenge his might! Not when he was at his last moments, when he was at his most dangerous.

"Vine Demon! We wouldn't have ganged together to hunt you down like this if it were not for your perverseness against us. Stealing away something that never belonged to you, you deserve this and more!" A sage-like old man in the crowd sighed, completely exhausted, "I just don't understand why… our well known Vine Demon… would suddenly declare war against us and try to do what you did? What you did has led to losses on both our factions in such a critical moment. Since it won't do you any good, why are you doing this?"

Although the two factions finally had the chance to end their shared enemy, Kou Vine, the cost they had paid for it was totally unbearable. They had lost almost 15 percent of their trained warriors in this battle. The losses they had suffered were so massive, to the point where they would find it hard to do battle against the other factions after their civil war starts.

The devil race as a whole would lose their top faction status in the current Underworld once other races begin to rise from this moment of weakness for the devils - it must be the worst situation for them. Besides, there were still the Angels, fallen Angels, and the other factions aiming for their heads like tigers stalking their prey!

After everything that occurred, they were still muddle-headed. They still couldn't understand what the problem was with this horrible Vine Demon?! Why did he refuse to colaborate and started this huge mess?! This was truly harming others without benefiting oneself!

Had the domineering Vine Demon, who persisted in doing whatever he wants, finally wanted to go and fuck the entire race?

Kou Vine sneered, "So you don't get it? You really don't get it? Aha…"

He looked down at the huge pit on his chest through which his entrails could be seen and actually stretched his wounded body. He chillingly said,

"No matter what dirty business you two factions did, I didn't give a damn about it. Except, you refused to stop pestering me and everyone else! I am ashamed that other nobles like me refuse to solve things properly and instead wanted to start a civil war, leading even more of our race to die, especially the Low Class Devils! Even my friend got killed during a petty squabble from other clans, just because they could. So, when I got this, I decided that I would open my own path! Fuck being New or Old, you all are fucking hypocrites in my eyes all the same! Both of your actions are so overbearing, even going as far as breaking our race's futures for petty pride or for political gains. I just detested this! So, I simply refused to join either side and would punish those who did wrong for our race.

"And my retribution? You all hunted me like a dog, while being shit yourselves!"

As Kou finished this another devil spoke up, this one was further on the back with long brown hair and pristine clothes, clearly not having been in the front even once.

"No, Vine Demon! You are wrong! Only the virtuous nobles know what is good or bad and the treasure you stole from a more worthy devil should be returned to a better host. The class division is necessary and it is the place of nobility to command, of the low class to obey, and from those of the very top to dominate. We did nothing wrong!"

"What -hah!" Ye Xiao laughed out as he coughed, "The virtuous nobles you were saying, where are they? But what you said is right. Those at the top should dominate all, but who decided who is on the top?! You, who let more than half our race die because you didn't want to damage you precious Bael Family's power even a bit? Or would it be the ignorant brats of the Four Satans who can only see the booms of the position but none of the responsibility nor care for it, wanting to continue a stupid war we shouldn't even have started?! I know of your methds, you made large wealthy towns turn into wastelands filled with death and coldness on stupid decisions during the war. Then you would cover up your crimes with a claim that those places were innevitable sacrifices while secretly sending your hounds to steal all that was left of the town before anyone could see, buying the open lands or just occupying it and claiming for your clan. You got overly rich from this war, and of course this all was the actions of a Virtuous. Noble. Devil! For the sake of the devil race… How many times did you mindlessly murder a whole town and distort facts in these years? How dare you claim to be virtuous? So darn bloody virtuous! HAHAHAHA!"

He wildly laughed as he spoke. He had an undisguised tone that was full of provocation.

"All of devil kind should bend to the wills of those on top. Anyone who dares to step out of line will get no mercy, and all his relatives will also be killed - no one lives! My whole clan, exterminated after thousands of years of helping the race. You guys acted excessively first, I am just fighting back the same way. One death at a time, how difficult could it be to understand?"

He bent his mouth and smiled sarcastically.

After Kou Vine spoke, the brown haired man - Zekran Bael, the leader of the Bael Clan, had a hideous expression on his face.

"So that's it… The reason you fought against us is simply to fight for justice… to defend devils against our injustice? Aha, what a noble man, Vine Demon! Even so, after your death today, who on earth would go and act against the devil race's costumes again? We two factions may have suffered a great loss, but we are not destroyed. After the armstice ends, we will fully recover! What a pity. After today, there will no longer be a famous Vine Demon! Your name will be stripped away from history and your clan turned into a footnote not worth of mention. And that which you obtained, I will certainly find a better host for it." The leader of the Bael Clan sneered.

"As long as I am still alive, I will never let you just have your way! If I die… then that is as far as I go and what you do with me and my legend afterwards is up to you. What can a dead person gain from praises of the living anyway?" Ye Xiao smiled indifferently, "As long as I can still breathe, the only thing I would like to do, is to wipe all of you bastards out! Let our race start anew!"

Even though he was speaking with disdain, he still felt sorry in his heart because he couldn't wipe out these rotten eggs from his race to avenge his brother!

It was his life's greatest regret!

"I see. We get it." Zekran nodded slowly with a crazy murderous look, "Enough talking, we will end your life! We won't let you stay alive!"

Grinding his teeth, he waved his hand as he shouted, "Go! Kill him! Whatever the cost!"

All the devils attacked at the same time with their full power! Hundreds of the devils risked their lives by using all of their power in this final attack. Countless lights and noises mixed together with countless strong powers, striking Ye Xiao like a huge storm!

The power created by the three factions together had really shaken the earth and the sky. All that could be seen was dust flying up in the air as the land underneath seemed to crack. The mountain where Kou Vine previously stood was instantly crushed into pieces as dust now covered everything. With countless broken rocks flying up, the mountains in between them were completely destroyed all at once.

Kou laughed out loud. After this long battle of life and death, he was truly too exhausted. Even moving a single step felt like climbing the highest of mountains. He could do nothing to defend himself against all these destructive attacks, so he looked carelessly at his enemies with a smile on his face.

At this instant, he and the mountain below his feet were about to be hit by this immense tidal wave of attacks!

His voice reverberated through the air right before he was hit.

"It is a pity that I was fighting alone and failed to kill all of you! If I am given a second chance, I promise, I will cut down all your heads… Fighting alone and letting you bastards get away with your lives is my lifelong regret!"

At the last moment of his life, the unbeatable loner Vine Demon finally realized his greatest weakness!

He was solitary!

Even though he had already become one of the strongest devils in this world, when facing the force of the two devil factions, he himself was simply not enough!

BOOOM! An extremely loud explosion turned the entire sky-high solid mountain into a dust rain of pebbles and rocks.

Dust overflowed and rocks rolled.

The Vine Demon left his last words with his last breath,

"I don't regret my life even though it was so tough, but I hate that I couldn't wipe the rotten out. If only I had an afterlife to wield my spear again, I would slaughter all evil so that I could laugh out loud under this beautiful night sky."

In the mist, Zekran looked at the mess; he murmured with a sullen expression, "Even if you realized it… you would still never stand a chance… and now, you will never know of the truth… of that at least I am grateful."

"Off we go!" Zekran waved his hand. All the warriors turned back and left.

No one had noticed that the moment when the Vine Demon died, a thin purple light had flashed briefly in the sky and disappeared from the spot Kou died.

As the wild wind was howling, all the dust was blown away. The mountain had long disappeared, and there were only the broken rocks on the ground.

Only in the air was there a faintly discernible voice.

"If only I had an afterlife to wield my spear again, I would slaughter all evil so that I could laugh out loud under this beautiful night sky."
