Chapter 1209 1169: Scarlet Star Demon Lord Yani Changqing!

The laughter was enough to make one's scalp tingle.

Yet, the next second, an even more terrifying thing happened.

Only to see the sky filled with flesh and void trembling, as if being rolled back by some force, turning into a tornado and swallowed entirely by the black shadow. Taken into its body.

"Wha-what... Senior Brother!" Jii Jun's face turned pale, his whole body weakened, and he trembled as he shouted in a low voice.

Apart from him, the others—the two demons of the Celestial Demon Sect, and Jade Luo Snake Lord—also changed expressions suddenly, their entire bodies turning icy cold.

Wh-what is going on?!

At this moment, everyone was enveloped in a deathly silence.

Silence!

At the center of the Lava Lake Island, everyone was staring with horrified eyes at the scene before them. This bizarre situation, even for those close to stepping into the True Monarch Realm, made it hard to suppress the desire to gasp in shock.

Weren't they both supposed to be dead all those years ago?

But then, what is this monster before them?!

And it's so brazenly devouring people and drinking flesh, such a manner only the legendary Demon Heads could exhibit!

Otherwise, who could be so perverted!?

"Hahaha."

Upon seeing these many pairs of terrified and shocked eyes, the black shadow stepped out of the darkness, laughing loudly. That voice was filled with malevolence, making one shudder and feel a sense of fear.

Meanwhile, everyone finally got a clear view of the true face of the black shadow.

A head with half of its face flesh mangled, gray-white hair, donned in a black robe, its entire being permeated with terrifying demonic qi.

"Who-who are you? How dare you kill my senior brother..." Finally, someone mustered up the courage to shout at the black shadow, it was Jii Jun. His face was pale, trembling as he rebuked.

"Heh, you ask who this old one is?"

The black shadow's face showed a strange grin, the flesh on its face disgustingly squirming, sending a chill down anyone's spine.

"You can call me Yani Changqing, or Scarlet Star Demon Lord, whatever you like."

"Scar-Scarlet Star Demon Lord!?" Upon hearing this, the pupils of the Celestial Demon Sect Two-headed Crow shrank instantly, staring at the shadow, they spoke each word with shock and fright: "Could you be one of those two from years ago!?"

"What!?

Like a stone thrown into a thousand waves, the rest couldn't help but change their expressions drastically.

Each one looking in astonishment at the scarlet star demon lord revealing a ferocious grin.

They knew that those two were at the True Monarch Realm of Great Heaven Rank, invincible to those of their cultivation level!

But now, one of those, the two of the past, didn't die!?

Scarlet Star Demon Lord smiled menacingly, and then clapped gently, laughing, "Correct, but there's no reward."

The Twin-Headed Crow and the others shuddered, staring intently at the Scarlet Star Demon Lord, becoming completely on guard.

"Heh, still thinking of resisting?" The Scarlet Star Demon Lord chuckled, his gaze gradually turning cold, with greed and murderous intent surfacing in his eyes, he laughed aloud as he spoke.

"Haha, don't blame the old one for not warning you. If it were up to me, I'd obediently bow down, wouldn't it be better? Maybe, you could die a bit more comfortably, like that kid earlier, otherwise... You want to know what's worse than death? Ke ke, hahaha..."

Bang!

A terrifying aura as overwhelming as a mountain burst forth, like a demon mountain, with demonic flames soaring sky-high, the fear level was enough to make hearts stop beating, leaving one breathless.

"Run!" The eyes of everyone filled with fierce terror, without hesitation, they turned and ran.

However, the Scarlet Star Demon Lord did not pursue them.

He displayed a playful 'cat-and-mouse' expression, coldly muttering, "Indeed, just a bunch of kids, too inexperienced, so easily deceived... What a pity, the only time you could have defeated this old one has been wasted by you, next, when I regain some power, the game of cat and mouse will begin!"

"Just obediently become my blood food! I, Yani Changqing, am finally resurrected! Haha, hahahah..."

The earth-shaking cries urged everyone to flee even faster.

They hadn't even realized at that moment, that it was their sole chance to defeat the Scarlet Star Demon Lord.

Unfortunately, there are no ifs. Living for hundreds of years longer, indeed makes a difference.

"Hmm."

And then, the next second, the Scarlet Star Demon Lord's eyes sank, his expression becoming a bit indifferent. His gaze fell upon the bones wrapped in the blue robe under the Stone Tower, with a sinister grin on his face: "Liuu Zhengqing, once I've consumed those unlucky little friends of ours, I'll come to take care of you... Wash your neck clean and wait for this old one, hehe..."

After speaking, he let out another mad chuckle, waving a hand, the Stone Tower shockingly shook violently, and then flew into the sky, demonic qi surging, brilliance flaunting, ultimately settling above the Scarlet Star Demon Lord's head, casting a swath of dark light, enveloping him.

Gurgling~ The demonic qi in the air intensified at once, rolling and flowing as if it had substance, making one feel stifled. However, the Scarlet Star Demon Lord quite enjoyed this long-lost sensation.

He sat cross-legged, opening his mouth as he inhaled, a terrifying suction appeared. A scene like 'a whale sucking water' appeared on flat ground, with demonic qi in the sky like a pitch-black dragon, causing the Twin-Headed Crow and others who sensed this scene from afar to tremble all over.

"Damn! Deceived?" The Twin-Headed Crow suddenly halted, turning its head to fiercely stare at the island in the Lava Lake because it was only now feeling the power of the Scarlet Star Demon Lord, which didn't seem all that formidable! Moreover, he hadn't immediately chased after them...

"How, how can this be? The exit, it's gone?" At this moment, the terrified voice of Lord Ji of the Wind Thunder Sect came from ahead.

What!?

The face of the Twin-Headed Crow changed again, dashed forward over ten miles, and then suddenly squinted its eyes. Because it saw that the entrance through which they had entered the Inner Valley had completely and utterly disappeared!?

"B-brother, what should we do now?" The Three-Headed Azure Giant Eagle had also noticed this scene and asked tremblingly.

The Twin-Headed Crow didn't say a word, but its whole body had started to feel cold...

"Fight him, or else if he recovers, we'll all be dead!"

Then it was seen gritting its teeth and turning around to charge once again toward the center of the Lava Lake Island.

In the distance, others saw the Twin-Headed Crow's action, were first stunned, and then their expressions all became extremely conflicted. They weren't fools; what the Twin-Headed Crow could guess, how could they not?

If they dragged it on now, they might really lose their lives!

"Screw it, fight!" Lord Ji of the Wind Thunder Sect gritted his teeth in hatred and also turned his head to charge back.

Thereafter, the Three-Headed Azure Giant Eagle and the Jade Luo Snake Lord also gritted their teeth and followed back, charging in.

They prepared to stake it all in a battle.

...

Meanwhile, outside the Ancient Moon Devouring Toad's nest in the Outer Valley.

Dao Lord Zhengqing stood there.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, his eyes changed, and then he looked up in the direction of the Inner Valley, whereupon his face sank somewhat.

"Master?" Yuyangzi beside him, seeing Dao Lord Zhengqing's inexplicable change of expression, asked puzzledly.

"Yani Changqing has been resurrected," Dao Lord Zhengqing said slowly.

"Yani Changqing?" Yin Lie was also there, and hearing this, he was slightly startled.

"Yani Changqing, also known as the Scarlet Star Demon Lord, was the one who contended with me for the 'Nirvana Blood Pool' three hundred years ago," Dao Lord Zhengqing continued slowly.

"It's him?" Yin Lie's eyes instantly gathered, his spirit shivered, and he said no more.

Then, he stared intently at the figure hovering in the air over the lake.

That figure was none other than Chen Fei.

Since Chen Fei swallowed the Demon Beast Core in Demon King Realm, commenced cultivation and charging through the barrier, a small half-day had already passed.

Although the time wasn't long, Yin Lie could clearly feel how evident and stunning the increase in power within Chen Fei's body was!

Not just him, even Dao Lord Zhengqing, while watching Chen Fei sitting cross-legged and charging through the barrier, from beginning to end, felt the change in aura and quality and couldn't help but be slightly astonished.

"Who exactly is this youngster? What cultivation method is he practicing? His cultivation level hasn't even reached the Fourth Heavenly Layer of True Person Realm!?" Clearly, he had seen through Chen Fei's true cultivation realm.

And precisely because of this revelation, Liuu Zhengqing's inner shock could only be described as overwhelming.

After all, he had once reached the pinnacle of the True Monarch Realm of Great Heaven Rank. With his power at its height, even in the second half of the Inner Region, five major sects would certainly receive him with great esteem. They wouldn't dare neglect him.

Because of this strength as a trump card, he had witnessed countless so-called geniuses, certainly more than the carp in the river. Yet even so, the Chen Fei before his eyes still gave him a start.

Not yet in the Fourth Heavenly Layer of True Person Realm, he possessed combat power that could rival the Fifth Heavenly Layer; such foundation, such an ability to battle across levels, could simply be described as 'exaggerated' without overstatement.

Thinking of this, Dao Lord Zhengqing Liuu Zhengqing suddenly chuckled. He muttered to himself, "It seems my luck isn't too bad after all, to have caught such a big fish. Yani Changqing, even if you've resurrected, can you withstand this youngster?

"Between us, which of us survives, such fate, seems to have been handed to him. Haha, hahaha..."

At the same time, the Twin-Headed Crow and others in the Inner Valley had also once again charged to the island in the center of the Lava Lake.

"Come back again, so perceptive..." Sitting cross-legged on the ground, surrounded by astonishing demonic qi, the Scarlet Star Demon Lord shook his head and sneered.

"Stop wasting time with him! Take action!"

Seeing through the Scarlet Star Demon Lord's delay tactics, the Twin-Headed Crow and others, of course, wouldn't give him any more chances.

With a fierce shout, in the next moment, a full four figures shot out violently straight at the Scarlet Star Demon Lord.

"Hehe."

However, unexpectedly, faced with such a 'life or death' fierce siege, the Scarlet Star Demon Lord remained expressionless, and even the smile on his lips became more mocking.

Seeing this mocking smile, the Twin-Headed Crow's whole body trembled and shouted in shock.

"Watch out!"
