Chapter 2654 - 2652: Ancient Demon King

Chapter 2654: Chapter 2652: Ancient Demon King

In the Hall of Light in the Heavenly Court, after the Jade Emperor returned from the Thirty-Six Heavens, he summoned the Clairvoyant and the Wind-Following Ear.

The two reported to the Jade Emperor, "Your Majesty, Er Lang the Divine Lord has gone to Liangshan Island to seek reinforcement and has already set out for the Wastelands with a million demon soldiers and three thousand Grass-Headed Gods from the Confluence of the Rivers.

The Jade Emperor asked, "Where is the Eastern Emperor?"

They replied, "He is mingling with a group of young disciples on the island, making no moves."

"He really is carefree!"

The Jade Emperor snorted softly and dismissed the two.

Shortly after, Taibai Venus entered and inquired of the Jade Emperor, "Your Majesty, what did the Ancestral Master say?"

The Jade Emperor replied, "The Ancestral Master has secluded himself and has not appeared."

Taibai Venus analyzed, "It seems the Saints are letting this matter develop naturally; we should make plans early."

The Jade Emperor said, "Although the Heavenly Court has many divine soldiers now, there is none truly capable of taking on the significant responsibilities. In Venus’ view, is there anyone in the Immortal Realm suitable for this great task?"

Taibai Venus replied, "Er Lang the Divine Lord can do it."

The Jade Emperor shook his head, "He is too stubborn, not popular, and lacks in skill."

"Then how about the Eastern Emperor?"

Taibai Venus cautiously suggested.

The Jade Emperor said sullenly, "That one is deep-minded and extremely ambitious, more worth guarding against than the Ancient Demon Clan."

Taibai Venus was a bit surprised, not expecting the Jade Emperor to have such thoughts.

He reported to the Jade Emperor, "The Jade Emperor might not know, but the Eastern Emperor just sent a million demon soldiers to the Wastelands along with Er Lang the Divine Lord?"

The Jade Emperor said, "For fame, not for gain, this explains the situation even more clearly."

Taibai Venus dared not speak further, only flattering with a couple of lines, "The Jade Emperor sees through everything clearly, I understand now."

The Jade Emperor looked at him and said, "The other day, I heard that the Ancient Great Witch Xingtian has just broken the seal and has formed a Witch Tribe army in the Northern Jambu Continent. Is there any truth in this?"

Taibai Venus was shocked upon hearing this and immediately advised the Jade Emperor, "Jade Emperor, the Witch Tribe is brutal in nature, and should not be heavily used!"

"Brutal in nature?"

The Jade Emperor raised his eyebrow, "Why is the Witch Tribe in the Northern Jambu Continent not like that? I heard they coexist very harmoniously with the Human and Monster Races?"

Taibai Venus explained, "The Witch Tribe in the Northern Jambu Continent has undergone assimilation with various races and are not the same as they were. However, Xingtian’s Witch Tribe is heard to be from the Underworld, precisely the tribe the Ancient Great Witch Chi You took with him. They, like the Ancient Demon Clan, are born warriors!"

The Jade Emperor tapped his fingers on the dragon chair and said, "Very well, Ancient Witches against Ancient Demons, it is destined thus. If we can hold this trump card, regardless of any future upheavals, our Heavenly Court will remain invincible. This heavy responsibility, I still entrust to the Star Lords."

"I accept the command!"

Taibai Venus let out a light sigh and accepted the task with folded hands.

After Er Lang Shen led the troops to battle, the Jade Emperor decreed the appointment of Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing as the marshal, with Nezha and the Four Heavenly Kings as the vanguard generals, to lead a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to the Wastelands for support.

The elite troops of the Heavenly Court all set out for battle.

In the Starry Wilderness Area, the scene was immediately teeming with weapons and armor, and the killing intent was boiling.

When the Little Kirin and their group first arrived here, they were greatly shocked by the scene before them.

This was the border area of the Immortal Realm and the Chaotic Zones, with a vast city checkpoint established.

Beyond the checkpoint, it appeared as vast as the universe itself.

It had already been shattered inside, with no spiritual energy fluctuations, only a death-like silence, more desolate than the space where Earth resides.

Fragments of continents floated inside, like ancient ghost ships wandering through this world.

Only the place of the checkpoint allowed entry to the Immortal Realm.

The checkpoint the Little Kirin and their team were supporting was the final line of defense.

If this checkpoint were breached, the Demon Army could charge straight in, entering the space of the Immortal Realm unimpeded.

Outside this checkpoint, there had been various smaller checkpoints.

These smaller checkpoints had all been captured by the Demon Clan, and those living there had all retreated into the final line of defense.

Had they not come here, the Little Kirin wouldn’t have known that the Immortal Realm had people living under such harsh conditions.

Among these people were mercenary groups engaged in Wasteland exploration, descendants of exiles sent here by the Immortal Realm, and native descendants who had previously lived here.

They had mixed bloodlines with various races, were brave and fierce, each one akin to iron-blooded warriors.

Here, martial arts prevailed.

The methods of cultivation they practiced were completely different from that of the Little Kirin and their group, belonging to the martial arts tradition of body refinement.

The morale among these people was low, pervaded by a sense of defeat.

Er Lang Shen sought someone to inquire, and this person directly told Er Lang Shen to immediately abandon this checkpoint, preserve strength, and retreat inland.

According to him, the Ancient Demon Clan were an invincible breed.

The ten great martial emperors of the top families who once guarded the city here, top figures in martial arts equivalent to Golden Immortals, were instantly turned into blood mists by the great demons of the Ancient Demon Clan.

The power of the top ten families once spread across the frontier continent.

Tens of thousands of cities, with a population of more than a billion.

Yet before these Ancient Demons, they were simply no match.

Tens of thousands of cities, either burned by great fires, washed away by great floods, struck by thunder and lightning, frozen by ice, or shattered by a single punch.

In front of these Barbaric Demons, Human Cultivators were no match at all.

Originally, the subordinates of the Golden Crow Emperor included the Ten Great Ancient Demon Marshals.

Now only five have appeared and have already left the Human Race with no ability to fight back at all.

These Demon Marshals were highly skilled in mana, physically tyrannical, and were all demon kings who could contend with Great Witches in the past.

Among the five Demon Marshals that have appeared, the one capable of spewing great fire was a Nine-Headed Fierce Bird.

This Gui Che Demon King was entirely like fire, with fiery red feathers, resembling a duck, with claws like an eagle’s. When it spread its wings, it covered over three hundred yards, and when revealed, it obscured the sky and the sun, with one bite capable of devouring a city full of humans.

Because it made the sound of a vehicle driving at night, it’s named "Gui Che"!

The Demon Marshal capable of spewing great water was a Nine-Headed Azure Dragon.

It could bring clouds and rain, causing great water to surge.

It was called "Jiu Ying" the Great King.

The Demon Marshal capable of summoning thunder was a one-legged monster resembling a water buffalo.

Its roar was like thunder, its steps summoned lightning.

As it moved, it was accompanied by wind and rain, using lightning to destroy a city.

It was called "Kui Ox" the Great King.

The Demon Marshal who could smash a city with one punch was entirely black as iron, resembling a water buffalo, with two massive horns on its head and the strength of ten thousand pounds.

It ate iron, and even its excrement was as sharp as steel.

It was called "Zi Tie" the Great King.

The Demon Marshal who could devour a whole city, had the most brutal temperament, loved to eat humans, and would start a massacre if slightly displeased.

It was called "Taowu" the Great King.

Er Lang Shen and Little Kirin’s group tightened their brows as they listened, not expecting that the bloodlines of these ancient fierce beasts still existed in the world, indeed not easy to deal with.

When the Demon Emperor dominated heaven and earth, these great demons roamed the Human Realm at will.

The Human Race was no more than ants in front of these great demons.

The Tri-Edged Double-Blade of Er Lang Shen suddenly quivered, and he softly called to the Humans of the frontier, "The Demon Clan is rampant, slaughtering our Human Race. No matter how powerful they are, I, Er Lang Shen, will fight to the end with them, to let them know that the courage of our Human Race is invincible. For those who still have some blood and wish to avenge your fellow brothers and sisters, parents, and spouses, come and fight alongside me, to slay the Demon Clan!"
