Pseudo Exalted Grade beings could kill a Tier 9 being with a single slap. But their path for transcendence had forever been barred. Except if they could find some treasures that could cleanse their body completely and wash away their cultivation so they could start anew.
Otherwise they would forever remain at that level. But how easy was it to find such treasures? And even if someone could find such treasures, how many would have the courage to take it?
Because once you are advanced in age, it is much harder to progress unlike when one is at the prime of their youth.

While one place rejoiced from the emergence of a human powerhouse, another place despaired.
The demons looked at the godlike being who seemed to be the darling of elements. All elements danced at his fingertips while he continued to fire one spell after another at the demons.
The demons below had already faced countless spells and who knows how many demons had died by now. But the human race was slowly gaining an advantage here due to Orion’s presence.
Since he was elevating the pressure from others by a lot, other Tier 9 demons who were besieging human powerhouses in groups also came to reinforce the demons besieging Orion.
He hadn’t even finished killing the first 5 demons completely before other Tier 9 demons came to join in on the fun.
"Fuck! Don’t you have any of your powerhouse pride? How can you gang up on a young man who’s not even at Tier 9!?" Orion cursed loudly while dodging the attacks of the demons. By now, he had fully transformed into his Thunder Dragon form to dodge the attacks of the demons.
Until now, he hadn’t been injured even once, while once in a while a Tier 9 demon would die. He was being cautious to not kill all the Tier 9 demons quickly, in fear of attracting even stronger demons from behind the army.
He could feel that there were quite a few powerful auras much stronger than Tier 9 demons, but they were not comparable to the power he felt from Exalted Grade beings such as the beast in the ruins and the beast in the Desolate Wilderness.
The demons didn’t react much. By now over 7 Tier 9 demons had been killed by Orion. They had long regarded Orion as a Pseudo Exalted Grade being. And even if not, they wouldn’t be embarrassed ganging up on him.
Much less him, they wouldn’t be embarrassed even if they ganged up on a mortal without any powers.
"Did someone ask for help from those lords?" One of the demons asked through sound transmission.
He received a quick response, "Yes but... they asked us to hold him back. They have been locked down by the human powerhouses. If they make a move then the human powerhouses will do the same."
All demons fell silent hearing this. They knew it would be like this since it wasn’t the first time facing this issue. Even on other battlefields similar situations had happened.
They took a deep breath and continued attacking Orion.
’Hmm, they can’t threaten me, but I can’t clear them up in a short time even if I want to... these fuckers are already over a dozen in number. Do the demons spawn from hell or what? How do they cultivate?’ He thought with irritation seeing the number of demon powerhouses.
Taking a deep breath, his mind became steady, ’I have already done enough. I should let the other humans slowly push the demons back. I can just hold their upper tier powerhouses back.’
Deciding so, he once again started colliding with the demons, attacking them one by one while finding opportunities to cast a spell down towards the battlefield.

The battle continued for six hours, and by now, the Demon Suppression Legion had also arrived at the front lines.
