Chapter 434 - 178: Fierce Battle of the Demon Kings, Boxing Saint Map! Annihilated by a Single Palm

The Cangying King bellowed, his Demon Qi lashing out like a sword and tearing the clouds overhead.

WHOOSH!

Faced with the Cangying King’s attitude, Qi Molong shot to his feet. Tangible golden flames seemed to erupt from the depths of his eyes.

"Cangying, are you courting death!?"

BOOM!

A gale suddenly erupted atop the high platform. The massive dais, constructed from countless stacked boulders and inscribed with Demon Techniques, began to shake violently.

The dawning sky was instantly blotted out by vast swathes of ink-black Demon Qi, plunging everything back into darkness.

The two Demon Kings were both furious. As their auras erupted, the City of Ten Thousand Beasts—and even the surrounding mountains—began to tremble uncontrollably.

The many Great Demons behind the two Demon Kings bared their fangs in unison, their gazes filled with malice.

It looked as if they would come to blows at any second!

A great battle was imminent.

"Why must the two of you do this?"

Just then, the Water Ape King, who appeared as a child, also rose to his feet.

He spoke slowly, his tone placating, yet a subtle but vicious thread of his aura settled upon the Cangying King.

"No matter how grave the issue, there is no need for such haste."

"Cangying King, perhaps you could speak plainly. What is so remarkable about this Boxing Saint Daoist?"

This old ape’s aura was like gentle water—seemingly not domineering, but it was insidious and pervasive. He was utterly devious by nature.

Faced with the combined pressure of two Demon Kings, the Cangying King cooled his head somewhat.

"Qi Molong, Water Ape King, you have long remained on the Eastern Continent and never set foot on the others. Naturally, you wouldn’t know that five years ago, an incredible being emerged in the Central Continent of the Dayu Immortal Dynasty."

The Cangying King took a deep breath and began to recount, in brief, everything he knew.

He had achieved the Dao as an azure eagle. Though he was a Demon King, he was never fond of the land, preferring to spend most of his time soaring through the skies.

His speed was unparalleled, and his lifespan was immense.

Thus, over the past thousand years, he had traveled to the Four Seas and the other four continents.

Two years ago, he had passed through the Central Continent. He saw that it was exceedingly prosperous, with a vast population. A single city might have more than a hundred thousand residents—some even had several hundred thousand, or even millions.

"The Central Continent is filled with cities, and its population is greater than any other across the Four Seas and Five Continents. Even if you combined the populations of the other four continents at their peak, they wouldn’t amount to half of the Central Continent’s—and that’s to say nothing of their current state."

"Back then, I was passing a city and was planning to devour a few of them, just to whet my appetite."

"But before I could even make a move, a sudden chill shot through me..."

As he spoke, the Cangying King instinctively touched his shoulder. His expression was grim, his eyes tinged with fear.

"A streak of light shot out from an unknown location, moving at a speed I could scarcely imagine!"

"No matter how I tried to dodge, it still tore off both of my wings. If I hadn’t possessed a few trump cards, I would have died on the spot..."

The scene from that day replayed itself in the Cangying King’s mind.

A dim red light had torn through the heavens like a Celestial Blade, cleaving open the sky for tens of thousands of miles.

In a mere instant, it had pierced through his dense Demon Qi and severed both his wings.

Were it not for a sliver of sheer luck, he would have surely died right there on the spot, even after deploying his trump cards.

After that, he hadn’t dared to linger in the Central Continent for a moment longer, vanishing with all possible haste.

All the information he had since gathered about the Central Continent had come from communicating with its many Demon Birds.

Once he learned the identity of his attacker, any thought of making an enemy of them was extinguished.

The Central Continent is the foremost land in the world, the very center of this world, and it is home to the greatest number of experts.

And that Boxing Saint Daoist was capable of suppressing heaven and earth. Moreover, unlike the Gui Chen Sect...

He had truly and utterly subjugated the world’s many Cultivators through sheer force. Be they Demon Fiends, devils, or Evil Demon Cultivators, none dared to cause chaos.

What’s more, this man had spread his own teachings throughout the world.

If he had to be described in a single word...

That man... is practically a Celestial Master!

As he continued to speak, for some unknown reason, a great sense of unease began to fill the Cangying King’s heart.

’A single streak of light?’

’It severed both of the Cangying King’s wings without the attacker even showing his face?’

Qi Molong was shaken.

’A Feather Transformation Realm expert can strike from ten thousand miles away, but in a clash between those of the same Realm, who would be so arrogant?’

’The attacker must be unimaginably stronger than the Cangying King...’

’But the Feather Transformation Realm is supposed to be the limit of their cultivation.’

’How could that man possibly be so powerful?’

The Water Ape King stroked his chin, his expression unchanging, his thoughts unreadable.

"The one who attacked... could it have been that Boxing Saint Daoist?"

Qi Molong’s voice deepened, but it was also tinged with doubt.

"If this man is truly that powerful, how could you have possibly survived? Unless..."

"Cut the crap! Release him now!"

The Cangying King, however, had lost all patience. He glared coldly at Qi Molong.

"I’ve roamed this world, soaring across the Four Seas and Five Continents every day! In my free time, I swallow clouds and spit mist! With a single thought, I devour men and beasts! I don’t ask for much more than that!"

"If you’re so eager to die, then get the hell out of the Eastern Continent and do it on your own!"

"Cangying!?"

Qi Molong flew into a rage at his words, a terrifying light glinting in his crimson eyes.

"It seems to me that man has scared you out of your wits!"

"You’re courting death!"

Before the words even faded, the two Demon Kings struck in unison!

RUMBLE!

In an instant, the heavens shook and the earth quaked!

From their first clash, the high platform beneath their feet instantly vaporized!

Tyrannical shockwaves from their clash howled downward for hundreds of yards, slamming into the ground below.

In that instant, the very earth and air for thousands of miles around were torn asunder.

The resulting blast wave, moving faster than the speed of sound, shattered innumerable pavilions and towers.
