Chapter 1919 - 1918: Vermilion Bird Enters the Body

Chapter 1919: Chapter 1918: Vermilion Bird Enters the Body

Niu Guli, although from the Barbaric Bull Tribe, one of the Eight Tribes of the Demon Country, and possessing the dreaded Eye of Death God, seemed rather ordinary beyond that. After all, he was killed by Li Feng with a single punch through the heart.

But now, with the Abyss Power transforming him into an Abyss Puppet, he had astonishingly subdued Sikong Yu in an instant.

Among everyone present, apart from Li Feng, Sikong Yu was the strongest. Although Ouyang Qiuhai was also at the Golden Core stage, her strength lay in her expertise in the Array, serving as strong support. Along the way, she had exhausted all her treasured magic tools.

At this moment, Ouyang Qiuhai’s combat strength was even below that of Lei Ba and his group.

After the shock, Ouyang Qiuhai came to her senses and turned to Lei Ba and his men, "What are you standing around for? Go save her! If Sister Yu dies here, do you think you can still return to Ancestor Dragon City?"

Lei Ba and his group exchanged glances. With their camp master’s fate unknown and Sikong Yu subdued, this was at least an important matter to them as she was the camp master’s wife in their eyes.

"Save her."

Lei Ba gritted his teeth.

Only seven or eight trusted aides remained, yet none of them backed down. They all charged towards Niu Guli.

Emperor Yue glanced at these people and dismissed them. Niu Guli alone could sweep these Ancestor Dragon cultivators.

Emperor Yue focused all his attention on the Bi Fang in his palm and the Four-Armed Demon Ape not far away. After all, such powerful combat strength was rare, ideal for forming his Abyss army. With the Four-Armed Demon Ape, those Earth Cave Demon Apes, previously swallowed by the Abyss, could be transformed into Abyss Demon Apes.

With just one wave, he could gather a formidable Abyss army, and Bi Fang could serve as one of his generals.

If the opponent truly bowed their head, Emperor Yue wouldn’t spare Bi Fang either. He might merely preserve part of her spiritual sense rather than let her be completely devoured by the Abyss.

The Abyss Swallowing consumed not just the flesh but also the soul. Once a soul falls into the Abyss, it’s a hopeless situation, impossible to escape, and one becomes a mere slave to the Abyss.

However, Emperor Yue rarely showcased this method in front of others. After all, he had the Candle Dragon Demon Emperor, his father, above him. If he displayed too much power, his demon emperor father might feel threatened.

After all, the Demon Country wasn’t just a simple tribe. As a nation, it naturally involved power and status struggles.

But today, pushed to this extent, Emperor Yue had no choice but to show his strength. As for Helena and the others who were still alive, he believed they wouldn’t recklessly spread the word, and they would make wise decisions.

The Demon Clan itself revered the strong.

"Elephant Heng, Helena, Feng Feifei, I need your allegiance," Emperor Yue declared directly.

At this moment, the three were shocked by Emperor Yue’s tactics, not expecting him to have hidden so much.

And now, they heard Emperor Yue’s words to Bi Fang.

This was clearly forcing them to choose sides.

Without a decision today, even though they were members of the Demon Country, and their usual relationships weren’t bad, the opponent wouldn’t show mercy.

"Helena greets my lord."

Though Helena couldn’t see anything in front with her eyes closed, her mind was as clear as a mirror. Almost before Emperor Yue’s words fell, Helena had already made her choice.

"That little bitch."

Feng Feifei gave a sidelong glance at Helena, who directly submitted, stunned that she had been preempted. Feng Feifei took a deep breath, kneeling on one knee, "Feng Feifei greets my lord. My Ice Phoenix clan has served the Dragon Emperor for generations. I, Feng Feifei, am also willing to give my all."

"I, Elephant Heng, am also willing to submit to the strongest Emperor Yue."

Though Elephant Heng was formidable, he couldn’t rival Emperor Yue, who stood as the strongest of the new generation. Naturally, Elephant Heng was willing to submit and serve.

There seemed to be no obstacle at all.

Emperor Yue looked at the three kneeling and said flatly, "I want your allegiance to me, Emperor Yue, and not to the Demon Country or my father. You should understand what I mean."

The three were slightly taken aback, instantly understanding Emperor Yue’s intention. He wasn’t content with just being a successor of the Demon Emperor.

"Willing to serve as my lord’s vanguard."

The three pledged their allegiance.

Emperor Yue glanced at them, saying, "I accept your allegiance."

While Emperor Yue received commitments from Helena and the others, Lei Ba and his group were being utterly defeated by Niu Guli, the Abyss Puppet. Lei Ba was known for his strength, yet he couldn’t contend against Niu Guli.

The Barbaric Bull Tribe, known for its brute strength, although not as powerful as the Baoxiang Tribe, was still formidable. Ouyang Qiuhai and Lei Ba’s group stood no chance, let alone rescuing the captured Sikong Yu. Even their own safety was hard to ensure.

After all, the Abyss Black Flame on the opponent was like a parasitic maggot, seeping in once touched, like a venomous snake drilling into their bodies.

If this continued, none could escape being swallowed by the Abyss.

Lei Ba and the others were desperate, unable to turn the tide. And this was just against an Abyss Puppet. The main force hadn’t even acted; the opponent was leisurely accepting allegiance.

Completely defeated.

A total annihilation seemed imminent.

"It’s over. Truly set up by Li Feng," Ouyang Qiuhai lay on the ground, a look of despair on her face.

Thinking of becoming a mindless Abyss Puppet made Ouyang Qiuhai laugh bitterly.

Even before Ouyang Qiuhai’s voice faded.

A new anomaly occurred within the Holy Temple. The flame energy dispersed due to Bi Fang’s heavy injury suddenly seemed summoned, converging like the wind towards the Four-Armed Demon Ape.

Simultaneously, the ground of the Vermilion Bird Holy Temple began to fracture, the cracking sounds echoing in their ears.

Everyone turned to look at the Four-Armed Demon Ape, watching as it slowly got up. Could it be about to mutate?

"Ha, this leaves no way out." Watching the Black Flame rising from the Four-Armed Demon Ape, they realized that even without the Four-Armed Demon Ape, they were doomed.

Lay down, accept their fate.

Lying on the ground, Ouyang Qiuhai resigned herself, thinking of her father, Ouyang Tianshu, guarding First Line Pass. Father, your daughter will never see you again.

"Congratulations to my lord for gaining another war general," Feng Feifei remarked, looking at the Four-Armed Demon Ape rising. It was much stronger than the Earth Cave Demon Ape, capable of battling Elephant Heng indefinitely, undeniably formidable.

Emperor Yue snorted softly. Despite some losses this time, it wasn’t entirely bad for him. Formerly just companions, they were now subordinates.

The meaning was entirely different.

Yet, just as Emperor Yue reveled in satisfaction, the Four-Armed Demon Ape suddenly soared skywards, and from the pit it left, a blinding flame erupted skyward.
