Chapter 897: Behind the Realm Wall, the Demon Beast Saints Arrive
Editor: Henyee Translations
Behind the realm barrier of the Tianyao Realm, before the vibrations reached the Floodgate Realm.
The demon beasts’ vast army assembled, their banners fluttering in the wind.
The dense demonic aura darkened the skies, eclipsing the sun and the moon.
Among them stood demon beast powerhouses, towering over millions like stars, their mere presence capable of obscuring the heavens.
“Break through the Floodgate Realm’s barrier with all your might, the cultivators of the Floodgate Realm could arrive at any moment! Prepare for battle, all demon beast forces!” bellowed a demon saint resembling a giant eagle, his eyes radiating divine light.
With six wings, each spanning tens of thousands of miles, a slight flap could whip up fierce winds that ravaged the land.
He was known as the Saint Sky Bearer, a Dao Integration powerhouse of the demon beast race, rumored to carry the ancient Roc’s bloodline, enabling him to see events thousands of miles away.
Leveraging his bloodline’s power, he could detect the Floodgate Realm’s movements instantaneously.
Under his command was the celestial demon beast clan, known for their speed, with even the most ordinary among them capable of traveling thousands of miles in a day.
They served as the vanguard and scouts of the demon beast army, essentially acting as the eyes of the entire force.
In this war, the demon beast army was led by a coalition of five clans: the Celestial Demons, Mountain Movers, Sky-Swallowing Pythons, Flame Lions, and the Flatland Demons.
These clans were renowned entities within the Tianyao Realm, representing the most formidable superpowers of the demon world.
Bloodline was of utmost importance among the demon clan.
These five clans possessed the most revered bloodlines in the Tianyao Realm.
Other demon clans, even if not directly related, would serve under them, heeding their commands.
Rumble!
At the realm barrier between the Tianyao Realm and the Floodgate Realm, chaos ensued as numerous giant demons activated bloodline arrays, transforming into monstrous forms to violently strike, bombarding the Floodgate Realm’s barrier in waves.
The composition of the barrier was extraordinary, allowing only beings and special attacks to disturb it, as ordinary spells would simply pass through.
The demon beast race, known for their brute strength and physical prowess, possessed a level of power significantly higher than that of cultivators of the same realm.
Their relentless assaults made the barrier tremble continuously like a resonating bell.
“Still, this is not enough.”
Behind the demon beasts, a massive figure emerged, moving like a mountain range come to life.
His bulging muscles rippled, causing the very void to ripple with oppression.
Horns atop his head touched the sky, and with every step, his iron hooves shattered the void. The one who appeared was a bull-headed Demon Saint.
“Make way!”
He strode forward, his large hand waving dismissively, pushing the demon generals aside.
“Saint Pingnan.”
Seeing the arrival of the bull-headed Demon Saint, the demon generals knelt and saluted.
Saint Pingnan, one of the four great Demon Saints of the Flatland Demons, possessed the pure bloodline and had immense strength.
Legend has it that even if the sky were to fall, a Saint Pingnan could hold it up.
It was enough to show how powerful this bloodline was.
Approaching the realm barrier, Saint Pingnan slammed his palms against it.
The barrier shook as if struck by millions of forces at once, even repelling the other demons attacking it.
“Saint Pingnan, are you about to break through the barrier?”
At that moment, another colossal figure appeared behind Pingnan.
This being, as large as a star and resembling a black bear, belonged to the Mountain Movers.
This Demon Saint, named Titan Peak, was also a formidable leader with Dao Integration Realm strength.
“Yes, let’s break the barrier fully to avoid prolonged troubles,” Saint Pingnan declared.
The Mountain Movers and Flatland Demon Clan were both renowned for their immense strength, and the two Demon Saints often sparred to test their might.
“When it comes to breaking arrays, none can match my Mountain Movers,” Saint Titan Peak stated.
His clan, known for their earth-manipulating abilities, excelled at breaking through arrays.
Their bloodline’s divine power could uncover any defense’s weakness, allowing them to break through with precision.
“Count me in as well. Did you think to leave me out and claim all the glory for yourselves?”
A booming voice came from behind them, as the air instantly heated up.
A golden lion, big enough to span mountains and rivers, emerged, cloaked in divine flames that seemed to burn the very world around it.
This was the Demon Saint of the Flame Lions, Saint Inferno
This clan was said to have been ancient rivals of the Golden Crow, once considered deities of the sun in the Nine Realms.
Born with the ability to attack with soul-resonating waves and innate divine flames, they could continuously cultivate these flames to the point of scorching the void.
The Flame Lions, known for their fierce temperament, had few allies in the Tianyao Realm, yet remained one of its most powerful forces.
It could be seen that its bloodline was noble and powerful.
“Saint Inferno, you’re being too much. We’re allies now; such words are unnecessarily distant,” said another Demon Saint, arriving just in time.
A gigantic serpent slithered through the void, its vertical pupils shimmering, its body covered in scales that radiated a strange beauty.
Two small protrusions on its forehead hinted at undeveloped horns.
This was a member of the Sky-Swallowing Python clan, one of the Tianyao Realm’s oldest and most unfathomable forces.
Mysterious yet unprovoked within the demon beast world, not even the fiercely temperamental Flame Lion clan dared to offend a member of the Sky-Swallowing Python clan lightly.
Thus, faced with the teasing from Saint Rosy Cloud, Saint Inferno merely responded with a cold snort.
Saint Pingnan and Saint Titan Peak nodded at Saint Rosy Cloud upon her arrival.
Saint Sky Bearer also arrived just in time and greeted the Sky-Swallowing Python Demon Saint.
At this moment, all five main generals of the demon beast army had gathered.
Their demonic aura soared to the heavens, forming a black gale that obscured the surroundings.
These five Demon Beast Saints, all at the Dao Fusion Realm, presented a terrifying force.
Saint Rosy Cloud, in particular, was not just limited to this. She was likely at Dao Mastery!
This battle, while not deploying the full might of the demon beast race, had brought forth its main forces.
This meant that this was not a simple test, but a real attack.
“Good, now that everyone is here, time waits for no one. Let’s all exert our strength and break through this barrier,” one of them declared.
“The Demon Beast Alliance has decreed: the first to breach into the Floodgate Realm will be rewarded with ten top-grade spiritual herbs!”
This announcement instantly sparked a gleam in the eyes of the other Demon Beast Saints.
Unlike humans, demon beasts have a hard time producing pills, and only sufficiently ancient spiritual pills can significantly boost their strength.
However, the production of spiritual pills cannot keep up with the demands of the demon beast race, making them the most valuable currency in the Tianyao Realm.
“Let’s begin. Break the barrier!”
Following the command of the Demon Beast Saints, they all burst forth with astonishing momentum, each summoning their own treasures capable of breaking through barriers.
Saint Pingnan acted decisively, pressing his palms against the barrier and his horns radiating divine light, charging directly at the barrier.
Rumble!
With that strike, heaven and earth trembled, and thunderbolts erupted from the point of impact!
Two depressions appeared on the barrier!
“MOO—!”
