Chapter 513: Demon King Hu Li, Nephew Is Right (1)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Zhou Shu had heard of the Demon King realm, which also was the Grotto-Heaven realm that Shi Changsheng had mentioned, for a long time. But this was the first time he had seen someone break through.
Previously, when he fought with Demon Queen Tushan, to be honest, he didn’t think that she was that powerful. Under the eruption of his divine ability Total Annihilation, he had even cut off one of her tails.
Seeing Yao Li’s breakthrough, Zhou Shu was shocked. At the same time, he had a better understanding of the Demon King realm.
Even he might not be able to survive such heavenly might.
If every Demon King had to go through this stage in order to advance, their strength would definitely not be weak.
Perhaps it was just an accident that Demon Queen Tushan had lost to him.
Zhou Shu saw with his own eyes that the aura of Yao Li was constantly becoming stronger. But his injuries were becoming more and more serious under the lightning.
This diametrical disparity gave an unusually strong contrast.
The Great Demons watching from kilometers away all had different expressions.
There was shock, panic, envy, and jealousy.
There was a world of difference between a Great Demon and a Demon Ling. If a Great Demon was a lord of the Demon Realm, then a Demon King was an emperor of the Demon Realm.
If Yao Li could survive the heavenly tribulation, he would be the thirteenth Demon King of the Demon Realm, an absolute supreme existence.
“Your Highness.” Xiao Jianghe’s eyes were brimming with killing intent. The Demon Realm was their enemy. If another powerhouse appeared, it would definitely not be good for the human race!
Xiao Jianghe could tell that Yao Li had clearly reached his limit. At this moment, even he was confident that he could kill him.
But once he attacked, not to mention whether the lightning in the sky would affect him, just the surrounding demonic beasts could tear him into pieces.
However, it was worth it to exchange his life for the life of a quasi-Demon King!
Zhou Shu knew what Xiao Jianghe was thinking. His expression was grim as he shook his head slightly.
Zhou Shu didn’t interrupt Yao Li’s breakthrough. First, he was worried that he would be affected by the lightning. Second, he suddenly had a thought.
To be honest, there were already twelve Demon Kings in the Demon Realm, and Zhou Shu was the only Earth Immortal in the Ten Nations, let alone the Grotto-Heaven realm.
With the difference in strength between the two sides, it didn’t matter if there was one more or one less Demon King.
In that case, taking the risk to interrupt Yao Li’s breakthrough and even expose the secret that he could transform into a demonic beast was not worth it.
On the contrary, if Yao Li could really break through successfully…
Zhou Shu was calm. Although Xiao Jianghe was a little unwilling, he still stood obediently behind Zhou Shu.
Thunder rumbled, and all the flesh and blood in Yao Li’s body had been obliterated by the lightning. He looked like a skeleton now, and this skeleton looked like it was about to collapse at any moment.
The dark clouds in the sky gathered again. This time, it seemed even more powerful than before. It was as if all the lightning was about to explode in this strike and completely destroy Yao Li in the air.
Yao Li’s cry was already a little weak. He raised his middle finger in the air.
Boom—
Lightning crashed like a waterfall.
A dragon’s roar suddenly sounded from Yao Li’s body. Then a five-clawed golden dragon suddenly flew out from his body and collided with the lightning.
Rumble!
The loud sound drowned all sounds in the world. The five-clawed golden dragon and the lightning that filled the sky dissipated into the air as if they had perished together.
Demon King Ao’s divine power? Zhou Shu frowned slightly and subconsciously thought of Demon King Ao.
At this moment, a pleasant ding sounded. Then the sky emitted a seven-colored light. The seven-colored light sprinkled on Yao Li, who had almost turned into a skeleton, and he began to regenerate at a visible speed.
At the same time, his aura rose steadily, and he quickly broke through a limit. Then Zhou Shu felt a special power in his body.
The power was full of vitality, as if it was about to split the world apart. Zhou Shu revealed a thoughtful expression.
He had once seen this power on Demon Queen Tushan. In Shi Changsheng’s words, this should be the power of the embryonic form of a grotto-heaven.
The Demon King realm was equivalent to the Grotto-Heaven realm of the human race. At the peak of the Demon King realm, one could evolve a grotto-heaven like the master of the human race’s grotto-heaven.
Zhou Shu had never understood what this realm was all about. Now that he personally witnessed Yao Li break through, he seemed to have grasped something. But after thinking about it carefully, he couldn’t figure it out.
But this observation definitely affected him greatly.
He had gained a lot. There were also the Great Demons watching from the sidelines. Many of them had been stuck at the peak of the Great Demon realm for many years. They originally had no hope of breaking through to the Demon King realm, but now that they saw Yao Li breakthrough, they felt that they seemed to have seen the path ahead again.
Of course, it was hard to say if they were hallucinating. After all, it wasn’t so easy to break through to the Demon King realm.
“Hahaha!”
After an unknown period of time, the laughter of Yao Li sounded in everyone’s ears, and his figure reappeared in front of everyone. His injuries were already gone.
He stood there, giving the impression that he was as solid as a mountain. He looked completely different from before.
“From now on, there will be no Yao Li in the world. I am Hu Li! Demon King Hu Li!”
