Chapter 1028 988: Reclaiming the Demon King Corpse!

"Swift battle! Now is the perfect opportunity... Let me lend you a hand." At this moment, a voice from within the astonishing formation in the sea of consciousness suddenly emerged. Immediately, Chen Fei felt the Lizhen Furnace vibrate.

The Lizhen Furnace was Zhen Jingkong's magical treasure. With his aid, it could barely be used once more.

"I'm sorry, but for the Demon King Corpse... your luck is indeed quite unfortunate this time." Chen Fei's eyes showed a faint coldness. With a wave of his hand, the Lizhen Furnace soared into the sky again, engulfing the heavens in terrifying flames.

"What!? This is impossible, wasn't he already exhausted? How can he still wield such a powerful treasure?"

"Damn it, that furnace is truly terrifying... I can't possibly withstand its power."

"It's over, we're truly doomed this time."

...

The terrifying Purple Extreme True Fire descended, making the group of Thousand Cranes Demon Clan experts feel utter despair.

The Lizhen Furnace, such a treasure, was truly terrifying! Not to mention them, even if a Fifth Heavenly Layer Foundation Establishment True Person were here, they wouldn't withstand it... provided they didn't fall for it.

On the brink of despair, Li Yuan's body stiffened, staring at Chen Fei with an extremely ugly expression, "Your strength is formidable, I admit... but do you really want to become mortal enemies with our Thousand Cranes Demon Clan!?"

"It's simple, hand over the Demon King Corpse, and I will turn and leave immediately," Chen Fei replied flatly.

"That's impossible!" Li Yuan refused without hesitation. He didn't even consider it.

How could he abandon such a supreme treasure!?

"Then don't blame me. You're the one who doesn't want to negotiate." Upon hearing this, Chen Fei shook his head. The Demon King Corpse was something he was determined to obtain; no matter what, he must acquire it.

Boom!

The Lizhen Furnace floated in the air, exhaling the terrifying Purple Extreme True Fire, almost setting the world ablaze!

Truly, truly overpowering and terrifying.

"Sir, we are members of the Thousand Cranes Demon Clan, and the Fourth Prince is my king's most favored prince. If things really fall apart, what good would that do you?" Under the threat of the Purple Extreme True Fire, someone was stiff with nerves but still managed a threat.

"Aren't we already falling apart now!?" Chen Fei glanced at the person, taking another step forward, his sword qi sweeping around, tearing with sword intent and sending shivers down one's spine.

"Do you really want eternal damnation? I'll tell you, our Thousand Cranes Demon Clan possesses two ancient ancestors of Demon King level. If you dare touch us, it will undoubtedly be a path of no return, implicating nine clans." The person roared angrily, grinning wildly.

"Hmm?" Chen Fei's expression darkened, a chilling gleam flickering in his eyes.

Poof!

A wisp of Purple Extreme True Fire entangled that person, and in the blink of an eye, a Third Heavenly Layer Thousand Cranes Demon Clan expert was reduced to ashes once more!

Without any power to resist.

"You!" Li Yuan's face contorted, his eyes reddened, not expecting Chen Fei to dare kill his person.

His heart bled. After this event, years of effort would completely go to waste, his foundation collapsing with a thunderous crash! Such a massive loss, how could he bear it?

"My father is the current king of the Thousand Cranes Demon Clan! Additionally, in my line, there is an ancestor who is a true Demon King-level existence. Do you understand what that means? Wait, take me back to my clan, and you will surely live in anguish, doomed eternally!"

Soon after, that Li Yuan roared at Chen Fei, filled with murderous intent.

"Do you think I don't dare to kill you?" Chen Fei furrowed his brow, speaking coldly.

"I'm the Fourth Prince of the Thousand Cranes Demon Clan, would you dare to kill me?" Li Yuan sneered, utterly disbelieving that Chen Fei would dare kill him!

But at this moment, an extremely dangerous aura had already come from the direction beside his body.

"You, you, you dare?" Gazing at the Purple Extreme True Fire that resembled the flames of death, Li Yuan's pupils shrunk to a needlepoint, filled with fear, trembling.

"Why wouldn't I dare?" Chen Fei shook his head lightly, saying again, "Forget it, since we can't reach an agreement, then let's not talk! The Demon King Corpse, I'll take it myself."

With these words, the terrifying Purple Extreme True Fire in the sky erupted with a terrifying pressure!

Soon after, the horrifically terrifying Purple Extreme True Fire fell as expected, enveloping Li Yuan and a group of Thousand Cranes Demon Clan experts within...

"No!" A piercing scream echoed, soon followed by an abrupt silence.

However, what appeared within the flames was a terrifying demon body! Demonic qi soared to the heavens, its mere physical body withstanding the terrifying high temperature and burning of the Purple Extreme True Fire.

Boom!

The demonic qi roared as the demon body appeared within Chen Fei's vision... over ten meters tall, covered entirely with terrifying demon marks, exuding an incredibly shocking and ancient atmosphere. It left people in awe, making their hearts tremble.

"This Demon King's body must have been no simple character in life."

Within the sea of consciousness, Zhen Jingkong murmured softly, looking through the void at the demon body's gaze full of complexity and solemnity.

"He belonged to a mysterious demon clan outside of Qiannan Ancient Kingdom, with significant origins. If we hadn't gained the upper hand back then, now the entire situation might have been rewritten." Suddenly, another voice sounded, it was Ji Xing.

"Commander Ji Xing, you're awake?" Chen Fei was slightly stunned.

"I was originally asleep, but I was awakened by this Purple Extreme True Fire and Demon King Corpse." Ji Xing's voice came again, with some sighs and some awe, "Purple Extreme True Fire... I never thought, Lord, you actually possess such a treasure?"

With their background, they certainly knew how powerful the Purple Extreme True Fire was, and even a Minor Heavenly Position Yuan Dan Realm expert might not be able to ignore such a formidable flame! This speaks volumes.

"This is Senior Zhen Jingkong's magical treasure. I'm just borrowing it." Chen Fei explained, then asked, "Senior, what should I do now?"

Chen Fei had acquired the Scarlet Sky Army's inheritance for some time, so Ji Xing knew about the existence of Zhen Jingkong.

"Throw me and the Demon King Corpse into the Lizhen Furnace." Zhen Jingkong's voice rang out, resolute and determined.

"What? Are you sure?"

"Throw you and the Demon King Corpse into the Lizhen Furnace? Senior, are you not joking?"

Ji Xing and Chen Fei's shocked voices echoed almost simultaneously.

Isn't this method similar to suicide!?

"I'm not joking." Zhen Jingkong shook his head, his tone becoming utterly firm as he said, "My sect has an unparalleled secret technique, we can try it... Break and Stand! Once we succeed, the gains I'll receive will be astonishing."

Chen Fei was silent. He understood what Zhen Jingkong's words implied.

Break and Stand? That's a nicer way of putting it.

The harsher way? It's gambling with life!

Zhen Jingkong, right now, is gambling with his life!

If he wins, Break and Stand; if he loses...he dies and his path vanishes. This is not a joke.

"Senior, I will pass you a secret technique. If you can use it... never mind, it's best not to have to use it."

Chen Fei spoke up, revealing a mystical incantation to Zhen Jingkong.

"My Scarlet Sky Army can also help you a little! Battle Intent enchantment." Commander Ji Xing's voice also rang out. Immediately afterward, Chen Fei felt a powerful Battle Intent strengthen Zhen Jingkong's spirit within the Sea of Consciousness.

"...Thank you." Zhen Jingkong's grateful voice slowly sounded.

Then he said again, "Chen Fei, throw me and the Demon King Corpse into the Lizhen Furnace."

"Alright." Chen Fei nodded, his expression fierce, releasing the restraint on Zhen Jingkong's spirit within the Sea of Consciousness, throwing him and the Demon King Corpse into the Lizhen Furnace.

Boom!

In an instant, the Lizhen Furnace shook violently, demonic flames surging, the Purple Extreme True Fire roared... but then, the Lizhen Furnace fell silent.

Swoosh! Then, the Lizhen Furnace spun round in the sky and began to shrink, returning to Chen Fei's hand.

"Task complete, now it's time to go back." Chen Fei put away the Lizhen Furnace, gazing into the distance toward Eagle Gorge, murmuring to himself. A faint smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

With his current strength, no one should be able to challenge him when he returns, right?

By then, he should unify Eagle Gorge.

After all, Earth is hidden within the small world of Eagle Gorge.

Meanwhile, in a demon mountain tens of thousands of miles away.

It is the stronghold of the Thousand Cranes Demon Clan! With walls of copper and iron, majestic and grand, watertight... even a true Primordial Core True Lord Realm expert would not dare to come and cause trouble easily.

At this moment, deep within the Thousand Cranes Demon Clan, in the structure dedicated to storing the Life Tokens of various Wang Clan members.

A Life Token belonging to the Fourth Prince suddenly shattered.

"Hiss! What, what's going on?"

"It's the Fourth Prince's Life Token... the Fourth Prince, he's dead!?"

"What? How is this possible? The Fourth Prince is a peak powerhouse of the Third Heavenly Layer of Third-Level Demonic Beast, he went out with Elder Yuanq, who could possibly kill them!?"

"Could it be that an even stronger expert took action?"

"Nonsense! Who would dare!? The Fourth Prince is dead, the Wang will likely go mad... He intended to appoint the Fourth Prince as the next Wang!"

"Stop spewing nonsense! Quick, go notify the Wang."

...

A commotion erupted within the building, filled with sounds of horror, shock, and panic.

The Thousand Cranes Demon Clan had just lost a prince, and now another one, and it was the most valued Fourth Prince!

This feared to be a sign that a world-shattering event is going to unfold! The Wang, he will never let it be.

Boom!

Shortly after, an incomparably terrifying aura emerged directly from the largest palace deep within the Thousand Cranes Demon King Clan. It shook the heavens, causing the mountains to tremble!

The pressure of such momentum was simply too terrifying! It's frightening... even the Fearsome Third Heavenly Layer experts killed by Chen Fei paled in comparison to this, like fireflies compared to the full moon, not worth mentioning.

Then the mountains shook, the Thousand Cranes Demon Clan people were wildly rattled, and a cold voice, filled with terrifying fury, rang out directly.

"Investigate for me! Who is the murderer? This king will obliterate their soul, and slaughter their clans!"

The Thousand Cranes Demon Clan trembled. A dreadful earthquake was indeed unleashed.

Meanwhile, everything that happened in the mysterious underground palace also spread, returning to Ghost Wolf City.
