Chapter 870: Chapter 542: Journey to Lei Province, Ancient Demon Race Kui Thunder Beast! (Double Chapter)_2

However, he had never ventured deep into Lei Province, mostly searching for Anomalous Thunder nearby on the outskirts to incorporate into his Thunder Seed.

This time, in order to rescue the mother tigress, he had no choice but to penetrate deep into Lei Province and cause a stir at the residence of the Thunder Wheel Tiger Imperial Family.

With his current strength, honestly, he wasn’t completely confident he could accomplish this task.

After all, his cultivation hadn’t reached an unparalleled level, and it was impossible to sweep through the entire Demon Realm.

Previously, although he had killed Demon Kings like the King of the Nine Netherworlds and Celestial Venerable Mo, which seemed quite impressive,

in reality, compared to true powerhouses of the Demon Realm, only the Three Eyed Bull Demon who dared to act arrogantly in the unnoticed Nine Netherworld, and Celestial Venerable Mo, were insignificant.

This was why the White-haired Worm Caterpillar Brothers from before looked down on these two local Demon Kings.

In fact, in their eyes, for the King of the Nine Netherworlds and Celestial Venerable Mo to dare call themselves Demon Kings was to overrate themselves, diminishing the value of the Demon King title, and it wasn’t worth mentioning.

A true Demon King, how could they be so weak!

"We’ve arrived."

Song Changming peered into the distance. When the skies began to gather clouds and the ominous thunder rumbled, he knew he had reached Lei Province.

The surrounding air was filled with dense Thunder Element.

The fluctuating energy adhered to the skin, causing those within the area to feel a tingling sensation on their bodies, even painful.

As the name suggests, Lei Province was like this, mostly occupied by Thunder Attribute Demon Races, making the general environment extremely intense.

Back then, when the Human Race occupied Lei Province, the Thunder Elemental Energy here wasn’t as endlessly pervasive and violently chaotic.

Compared to other provinces, Lei Province’s thunder element energy was relatively more potent, with some places known for gathering thunder year-round, but most areas were still suitable for human habitation.

Nowadays, after being long occupied by Thunder Attribute Demon Races, the countless Thunder Attribute Demons breathing in and out for cultivation has led to such an extreme change in Lei Province’s environment.

In Song Changming’s view, even if the Human Race managed to reclaim Lei Province, transforming it back into a province suitable for human settlement would require considerable effort.

The environment gradually dried, and the terrain consequently changed as Song Changming flew to the Thunder Marsh area on the eastern outskirts of Lei Province.

Boom!

Upon entry, Celestial Thunder roared, smashing down a Thunder Pillar straight towards him.

Without needing Song Changming to intervene, the Tiger Demon beside him opened its mouth towards the sky, sucking in with a reverse force, directly swallowing the Celestial Thunder into its mouth.

The Tiger Demon, it could be said, was like a lightning rod, allowing Song Changming not to worry about bolts from above.

"Human brat, you dare come!"

"You really think there’s no demon in Thunder Marsh to deal with you!!"

Suddenly, an ancient roar came from afar, echoing across the sky.

The Tiger Demon drastically changed color, shocked and alarmed.

"Not good, it’s the Kui Thunder Beast, this ancient race that usually sleeps beneath Thunder Marsh, why suddenly appear!"

The Tiger Demon hadn’t expected changes this drastic, barely arriving in Lei Province.

Note that the Kui Thunder Beast was always mysterious, never interfering with anything, including the currently raging Human-Demon battle in Lei Province!

In the past, no one had heard of the Kui Thunder Beast stepping out of Thunder Marsh to appear on the battlefield.

Despite living in Lei Province for over a thousand years, the Tiger Demon had never seen the Kui Thunder Beast; who would’ve thought they’d encounter an enraged Kui Thunder Beast during such urgent times today.

"Why?" the Tiger Demon thought quickly.

Song Changming lightly coughed beside him, suddenly said: "I think the Kui Thunder Beast is probably coming for me."

"Over ten years ago, while seeking Anomalous Thunder here in Thunder Marsh, I inadvertently took the Demon Thunder they raised..."

"If that’s the case, I’m willing to exchange the Thunderbolt within me to calm the situation..." The Tiger Demon was about to reluctantly offer his cultivated Thunderbolt, hoping the Kui Thunder Beast would let them pass.

Song Changming shook his head: "Without realizing it, I also accidentally killed several of their clan demons, I estimate this time it’s their tribe’s Old Demon King coming."

This indeed was unintentional; back then, he didn’t know of the mysterious Kui Thunder Beast, nor knew the Anomalous Thunder appearing over Thunder Marsh belonged to someone.

After taking the Anomalous Thunder, when they suddenly emerged to attack, he naturally wouldn’t let them go, directly eliminating them, using Witch Refining Technique to instantly refine those Kui Thunder Beasts.

Afterward, it attracted the Kui Thunder Beast tribe’s strong pursuit; his strength and cultivation then were far inferior to now, directly chased out of Thunder Marsh, although he eventually survived, it was one of his few setbacks.

Originally he thought over ten years later, avoiding the area where he encountered the Kui Thunder Beast territory by several thousand miles, there should be no further incidents.

He underestimated the Kui Thunder Beast’s grudges, the opposite had long memorized his breath signature.

"..." The Tiger Demon felt numb, not expecting Song Changming to still be carrying the Kui Thunder Beast’s troubles.

Notably, even the Thunder Wheel Tiger clan had been strictly warned by the Tiger King that some demon races in Lei Province mustn’t be provoked unless absolutely necessary.

Among them was the mysterious ancient demon race, the Kui Thunder Beast!

Before they could ponder further, numerous single-hoofed bull-bodied Kui Thunder Beasts, with skin adorned with lightning patterns, appeared in the sky.

Their roaring caused the Celestial Thunder to rumble, their bullish eyes fiercely glared at Song Changming ahead.

The aura matched, the contemptible person who had stolen their clan’s Demon Thunder, killed their tribe’s offspring.

Song Changming scanned them briefly, confirming these numerous Kui Thunder Beasts were the ones that chased him out of Thunder Marsh years ago.

Exaggerated to say, each possessed the powerful combat capability of a late realm cultivation grandmaster, battling in the main area of Thunder Marsh; no wonder he couldn’t compete back then.

This time, what truly threatened him wasn’t these Kui Thunder Beasts.

Looking past the numerous Kui Thunder Beasts before him, Song Changming’s eyes emitted divine light, the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye Technique unfolded, locking onto the massive black thundercloud at the rear.

The threat comes from this thundercloud, more accurately from a Kui Thunder Beast within it.

Suddenly, the thundercloud violently churned, lightning madly flashing, traversing and erupting across the sky.

Subsequently, a gigantic bull head, seemingly from hell, emerged from the thundercloud.

Exaggerated to say, just this bull head exceeded the combined size of all other Kui Thunder Beasts, giving Song Changming intense visual impact.

He wasn’t unfamiliar with gigantic creatures, but such enormousness, capable of inducing intense threat and unease to him, Song Changming could only think of the Star Devouring Dragon sealed in the Abyss.

Undoubtedly, this was the Kui Thunder Beast King!

Years ago, he sensed this Old Demon King awakening, thus completely abandoning thoughts of combat, deciding to flee.

Yuan San, too, bypassed the other Kui Thunder Beasts, his deep cold gaze landed on the giant bull head, after brief consideration spoke.

"If the master finds it troublesome, I can assist in eradicating this group of demons."

Though Kui Thunder Beast was an ancient demon race, Yuan San had never heard of it before.

Indisputably during ancient times, even if Kui Thunder Beast existed, it did not seem a formidable demon race in his view.

"No need, just avoiding them this time will suffice." Song Changming shook his head.

Kui Thunder Beast had never antagonized the Human Race, silently living in their territory, mainly consuming thunder and electricity, uninterested in human flesh.

Thus, Humans held no malice towards the Kui Thunder Beast tribe.

Simply put, Kui Thunder Beast belonged to a neutral ancient demon faction.

Not an enemy in terms of stance, and Kui Thunder Beast hadn’t wronged him beforehand, hence he felt somewhat remorseful.

He was aware of Yuan San’s abilities, trusting this Undead corpse Ancestor could handle the group of Kui Thunder Beasts.

Nevertheless, Yuan San’s external walking undead corpse body was ultimately merely a clone, unable to channel infinite power.

After depleting the powers allocated to this clone, this Yuan San clone would become obsolete.

Valuing the notion of utilizing power wisely, Song Changming didn’t wish to engage in unnecessary complications with the Kui Thunder Beasts, to waste this Yuan San clone’s power futilely.
