The moment one of the devils shouted to escape, it was as if they all shared the same mind. Without hesitation, they began to scatter in different directions, each choosing a separate path to confuse any pursuers.

Their purpose was simple. As long as a few of them could escape, the information about what happened here would spread.

But would the Divine Vanguard Knight Order allow that?

The devils who turned their backs on the knights were slaughtered even faster. They did not have the time to flee. Xin Haotian, as the strongest and fastest among them, hunted those who ran the farthest.

Some of the devils did not hesitate to crush their escape talismans. Yet Xin Haotian was even faster. He caught them before they could complete their teleportation. Their bodies appeared at their designated escape locations with their heads already severed.

However, one devil at pseudo immortal establishment stage managed to crush his talisman before Xin Haotian could kill him. He was confident he could escape, as Xin Haotian was still hunting the others. He already felt the sensation of teleportation as his body began to fade and disappear.

But in less than a split second, just as he believed he had escaped, the process was abruptly cut off. His body materialized again, yet his head was already severed, both parts thrown out from the void of space.

The devil’s expression remained calm, frozen in the moment before his teleportation. But in that final instant before his consciousness faded, his mind was filled with shock.

’His sword strike could split the teleportation!’

That thought was the last thing that crossed his mind before his consciousness disappeared and his soul returned to the underworld.

Xin Haotian stood ten kilometers away. His gaze locked onto the severed body for a brief moment before he continued his hunt.

The devils, having already lost their morale and thinking only of escape, did not survive the knights’ pursuit. In the end, every single one of them was killed.

More than fifty thousand devils were slaughtered by only two hundred and fifty-three knights. The battle ended quickly due to how powerful the Divine Vanguard Knights were. Their killing was efficient, allowing them to wipe out thousands of devils in a short time.

Aldrian, observing the battle from high in the sky while concealing his presence, nodded in satisfaction. There were no casualties among his knights, and their victory was completely overwhelming. This was the level of power his troops were supposed to possess. Most of them could fight across three levels.

There were also some extraordinary talents who could fight across four levels, like Revanus. The most outrageous was still Xin Haotian, who possessed talent that allowed him to fight three levels above his own in the Immortal Transition Realm.

For anyone to fight across three levels in the Immortal Transition Realm, they were already considered rare talents in the universe. Such individuals usually appeared as descendants of great families or noble bloodlines that resided in the highest heavens.

Although there were no opponents here who were three levels stronger than Xin Haotian, Aldrian could tell that the moment Xin Haotian unleashed his domain, he would be capable of fighting even a middle pseudo immortal establishment stage cultivator.

A truly rare genius, worthy of being called the Sword Saint.

After confirming that no devils remained, Aldrian appeared once more above his knight order.

The knights instantly lifted their heads the moment they sensed him. Their expressions showed spirit and pride after successfully completing their first battle as the Divine Vanguard Knight Order.

"I have to say, I am truly satisfied with all of your performance. That is what the Divine Vanguard Knight Order is supposed to be. Victory, and you must claim it overwhelmingly even when your numbers are far smaller than your enemies," Aldrian said.

The knights felt a surge of pride upon hearing that. Praise from Aldrian was something they would do anything, even give their lives, as long as they could earn the recognition of their emperor.

"I can see that you are not yet satisfied. Even now, none of you have broken a sweat. Do you want another battle?" Aldrian continued.

"Another battle!" one of the knights shouted with a spirited cry. The others immediately followed.

"Another battle! Another battle! Another battle!"

Their voices echoed across the land as Aldrian nodded in satisfaction.

"Good. Then let us move to another battlefield."

For the next few hours, Aldrian brought the Divine Vanguard Knight Order to various places across the world, almost like a tour, eradicating any devils that had gathered in large numbers in one place.

Even when the devils were in the middle of battle against the powers of this world, the Divine Vanguard Knights would suddenly appear out of nowhere and crash the battlefield. They eradicated the devils before disappearing once again.

They did not interact much with the people of this world. However, when some dared to ask who they were, the knights answered clearly. At that moment, for the first time, the people of this world heard the name of the Divine Vanguard Knight Order.

After several hours of battles across the world, Aldrian decided that it was enough for the day and brought all of them back to the Ancient Blue Gate World. They had been fighting continuously, their energy nearly depleted, yet Aldrian could see their spirit still burning despite their exhaustion.

They still wanted to fight.

Aldrian knew that they felt powerful after practicing his self-created cultivation technique, which made them could still appear strong.

Aldrian could also sense each of their thoughts and feelings. The most important thing to them was to successfully complete every mission or task he gave them.

They wanted to prove their worth. They did not want to disappoint him, and that was something he truly appreciated.

Still, they were not him. They did not possess unlimited energy and stamina like him within his domain. They were still normal cultivators who could feel exhaustion and depletion.

They needed rest.

After teleporting them back to the Guardian Palace, Aldrian erased all remaining devils in this world using illusion laws. Every devil suddenly dropped dead, their faces frozen in expressions of horror.

This left countless people of this world confused. They did not understand why the devils suddenly dead with such terrifying expressions, as if they had seen something so horrifying that they were scared to death.

Many people could not help but shudder. What exactly had they seen to show such expressions? It was like a horror story where the victims suddenly died without any obvious cause, leaving behind only chilling signs.

Amid the confusion spreading across the world, the name of the Divine Vanguard Knight Order began to spread. Mysterious knight order who appeared out of nowhere and killed devils as easily as cutting weeds.

Their presence was like ghosts. They would suddenly appear on battlefields where devils gathered, and once the devils were eradicated, they would say little before disappearing again.

With their appearances, many questions began to arise among the populace.

Who were they? Where did they come from? How could their existence have remained unknown until now? If such a force truly existed, the people of this world should have heard of them long ago.

Yet the name of the Divine Vanguard Knight Order had never been heard before, even by those who had traveled across the vast space.

However, despite the mystery surrounding this knight order, many people still felt grateful for their appearance and regarded them as their saviors. In the following days, as news spread that devils across the world had all died, people began to connect everything to this mysterious knight order.

From that moment on, the name of the Divine Vanguard Knight Order became a legend in this world.

--------------------------------

For the next two weeks, Aldrian spent much of his time bringing the Divine Vanguard Knight Order on battle tours. In a single day, they might visit two or three worlds.

He traveled across various territories that once belonged to the four overlords, allowing his knights to fight repeatedly while saving many worlds in the process.

With each victory and every world they visited, their name spread further.

The Divine Vanguard Knight Order, the mysterious force that arrived as the saviors of many worlds.

As Aldrian continued to observe their battles, he could see their teamwork becoming more synchronized. Their coordination grew sharper, and their bond with one another deepened after each battle tour.

He was satisfied with their development.

During these two weeks, he did not only focus on his knight order. He also spent time cleansing devils across the First Heaven using his own techniques. He was still adapting to his newfound power, and the devils served as suitable targets.

He could wipe out devils across thousands of worlds at the same time, which even left him impressed by his own strength. All of it was done while he remained seated inside his palace.

At this moment, the worlds in the central region of heaven, the surrounding regions, and even those a year away by warp had already been cleared of devils.

There were still many devils in distant places, but they were significantly weaker compared to those in these regions.

The number of devils in the First Heaven continued to shrink. It was only a matter of time before the entire First Heaven was completely free of them.

Aldrian also found Ling Xiao’s location and chose to observe him.
