Chapter 850 - 777: The Difference in Human Demon Foundations

Chapter 850: Chapter 777: The Difference in Human Demon Foundations

Based on the standard divisions of Realm, Tu Xiao’an’s current strength fully qualified for Rank Four of Ascension. He was just one step away, waiting for the acknowledgment of the Heaven and Earth Law. Even without Ascension, his combat power had long surpassed Rank 3. This was precisely the confidence that allowed him to completely disregard those human City bosses.

However, Tu Xiao’an felt a sense of pressure; humanity’s profound foundation was far beyond his imagination. A Rank Four Immortal had just appeared out of nowhere, hailing from the legendary Kunlun Void, a Cultivation land for Immortals. This begged the question: did the legendary and renowned Kunlun Void only have a single Immortal? That was obviously impossible. Or perhaps, Xuanyuan Zhan was just an average figure within the Kunlun Void.

Humanity’s foundation was unfathomably deep, but what about the Demon Race? As Lord Gong, Tu Xiao’an was already the top figure of the Demon Race. Yet, no matter how heaven-defying his combat power was, he was ultimately still at Rank 3. If humanity could casually produce an Immortal, was the Yaoling Mountain Range truly that inferior?

Regarding Human Demon, although humanity held the upper hand, the Demon Race couldn’t possibly be that fragile. Since humans possessed a Rank Four Immortal, there was bound to be a true Demon Emperor among the demons. With the unfolding of the War Relics, the world’s landscape would reshape itself. Perhaps it would even devolve into the landscape of the Primordial Era. Various legendary big shots would step onto the stage one by one. And it had all started with this Xuanyuan Zhan!

"I must reach Rank Four as soon as possible! Otherwise, I won’t be able to handle the upcoming situation," Tu Xiao’an mused to himself.

"Who will kill this snake for this Immortal?"

Infuriated by Tu Xiao’an’s words, Xuanyuan Zhan was on the verge of erupting in rage. Daring to look down on a Rank Four Immortal was simply courting death.

"Lord Xuanyuan, please remain calm. Mo Hai is here!"

The deafening voice belonged to the top boss with the special mark on his forehead. Having broken through the heavy confinements of Charlie’s Giant Tree, he suddenly dashed over. As he flew at extreme speed, endless rumbling sounds echoed through the surrounding space.

"Demon Snake, you refuse to realize your errors and even dare to be disrespectful to an Immortal! Did you think that becoming Lord Gong of the Yaoling Mountain Range would let you act lawlessly? Let me tell you, what you know is merely a corner of the Ice Mountain. This world is far from as simple as you imagine!"

As the top boss of a Tier-1 City, Mo Hai held a high position of authority, and his strength had already reached Rank Three Perfection.

Tu Xiao’an cast a sidelong glance at Mo Hai, who had stopped mid-air about fifty feet away and immediately began shouting. Ordinary people feared demons, viewing them as terrifying beasts, but in the eyes of these big shots, a Demon was not scary at all. On the contrary, they utterly looked down on the Demon Race. Perhaps they saw them as nothing more than livestock.

"You are not worthy of speaking to me. If you don’t want to die, shut your mouth," Tu Xiao’an said with perfect composure. Hovering in the air, he abruptly sat down.

As he sat, a thick, long vine swept in from afar, stretching horizontally like the horizon, stopping perfectly beneath him. By taking a seat, Tu Xiao’an had essentially perched himself on one of Charlie’s branches, his arrogant posture self-evident.

"I’m not worthy of speaking to you? Demon Snake, you will pay the price for your arrogance!"

The top boss, Mo Hai, roared in fury. A streak of absolute killing intent flashed in his eyes, accompanied by a fleeting burst of blood-red light—a manifestation of his killing intent condensing into physical form. Taking a step forward, a surging and majestic War God Power erupted fiercely from his body like an exploding volcano. As it roared and unfurled across the sky, it created an apocalyptic scene that sent a shockwave through everyone’s hearts.

"Your strength is decent, but how do you compare to Ling Yihang?" Tu Xiao’an asked casually from his seat on the thick vine.

Mo Hai was taken aback. "Do you mean Ling Yihang, the Child of Light from S City?"

The incident with Ling Yihang had only happened a few days prior. His insubordination and lawless murder of other City bosses had an incredibly vile impact. Although he ultimately died, because he perished at the hands of a Demon, the authorities kept the matter under wraps to prevent too many people from knowing. As the saying went, dirty laundry should not be aired in public.

"We were about on par!" Even though the top boss didn’t understand why the Demon Snake was making such a comparison, he still answered.

"If you and that piece of trash Ling Yihang are on par, what gives you the right to speak in front of me? I’m afraid you don’t know this yet, but Ling Yihang was already eaten by this Snake Emperor."

"Eaten?"

The moment these words were spoken, the dozens of City bosses were utterly shocked before bursting into furious rage. This damned Demon was far too arrogant! He had devoured an official human City boss and was actually flaunting it. Did he really think humans were easy to bully? Furthermore, they had a Rank Four Immortal from Kunlun Mountain holding the line right here.

In truth, Tu Xiao’an hadn’t said this just to show off; he simply wanted the man to know his place and not ruin his own life. Aside from a Rank Four Immortal, the other City bosses might be strong, but in his eyes, they were all trash and worthless garbage. The gap between them was as vast as the gulf between the bright moon and the blazing sun. There was no comparison.

"Kill! Kill the snake! Once you are dead, the demons of the Yaoling Mountain Range will fall into disarray once more!"

Mo Hai didn’t care whether Tu Xiao’an’s words were true or false. Today’s situation could not be resolved peacefully anyway. It was impossible for humans to share the fruits of the Reincarnation Tree equally with a Demon.

Mo Hai’s figure immediately transformed into a divine rainbow, charging forward explosively. Surging War God Power coalesced around him, sweeping toward Tu Xiao’an with ferocious force like an endless tsunami bearing the Might of Heaven and Earth.

"Idiot. I told you to know your place, so why won’t you listen?"

The corners of Tu Xiao’an’s mouth curled up slightly. Sitting quietly on the vine, he simply watched the figure rushing at him with full force. His gaze was exactly like a cat toying with a mouse.

"If you want to touch my master, you have to get past me, Charlie, first!"

SWISH SWISH SWISH!

Countless vines swept toward Mo Hai, while the surrounding space was suddenly filled with falling leaves that transformed into countless Flying Knives, slicing through the air toward him.

Despite the vastness of the world, there was absolutely nowhere to dodge.

After becoming a Deep Mountain Demon King and undergoing self-evolution, even Tu Xiao’an wasn’t sure exactly how strong Charlie’s combat power was. By the time Mo Hai charged to within a meter of Tu Xiao’an, his entire body was shockingly covered in cuts and bruises, leaving him teetering on the verge of collapse.

"You’re even worse than Ling Yihang."

With a light chuckle from Tu Xiao’an, a massive vine violently smashed the man into the ground.

BOOM!

The earth trembled ceaselessly.

"Master, this person is so weak."

"Keep a low profile!"

"Oh!"

Could a top boss at Rank Three Perfection truly be weak? He had merely underestimated Charlie’s methods. The fact that those drifting leaves filling the sky could injure the physique of a Perfect War God was undeniably shocking. Since Mo Hai only had eyes for Tu Xiao’an and had ignored Charlie’s attacks, it was only natural for him to suffer a minor setback.

"What a formidable Demon tree! Everyone, we cannot be careless!"

"Let’s deal with this eyesore of a Demon tree first, then we can take our time finishing off that Demon Snake!"

"Alright!"

The City bosses instantly reached a consensus, nodding one after another.

"Behold my Celestial Cold Nether Spear!"

"Demon tree, taste my sword! Great Xuan Crystal Sword Qi!"

"Chaotic Heaven and Sea Palm!"

"Sky Piercing Killing Fist!"

Aware of the formidable power of this massive, sprawling tree, the dozens of City bosses showed absolutely no mercy. Every single one of them unleashed their most proficient and powerful Divine Techniques.

In an instant, the area was engulfed in a flurry of flashing blades and sword shadows. The entire space looked as though it had completely exploded.
