CHAPTER 1123: CHAPTER 886: SWEEPING ALL THE WAY

The commotion caused by a Demon King-level expert is astonishing. Normally, when one or two Demon Kings clash, their residual power shakes the heavens but doesn’t attract too much attention from the Great Demons.

However, today is different. The disturbances from Demon King-level battles are too frequent, and they are filled with powerful auras that do not belong to the Demon God Realm. Following the deaths of Demon Kings, various celestial anomalies were triggered.

All indications suggest that something major happened in the Demon God Realm today... It seems that a group of powerful beings have invaded, and even the Demon Kings are not spared in this catastrophe, perishing one after another.

Perceiving this change, the Demon Kings immediately became alert. After brief contemplation, they quickly chose to take their most important subordinates and abandon their old nests, retreating from this continent to distant lands.

The reason for such decisive actions is because the Demon Kings understand that to confront the invaders now is undoubtedly to use a mantis leg to stop a cart, courting one’s own demise. The opponents are clearly prepared, and with experts emerging together, the only way to fight against this group is for the Demon Kings to unite.

But in the current urgent situation, who has the time to assemble other Demon Kings and jointly face the enemy?

The only option is to retreat from this continent first, while seeking alliances with other Demon Kings, and then counterattack.

From high above, one can see the powers of the Demon Kings rushing into the clouds, and these powers, carrying mountains and hordes of demons, flee from south to north, trying to leave the direction where the great battle erupts as quickly as possible.

"Demon Kings fleeing north? Even this day has come for those beasts of the Demon God Realm."

On another battlefield, Wang Chengjun, Li Weiguo, Zhao Jiadong, Sun Xing, and Zhang Weiming, five experts specializing in the Qi Fortune Technique, had just jointly slain one Demon King, and then sensed something, peering into the distance.

"Speed up the action, try to intercept and kill them before the Demon Kings escape this continent, otherwise they will still oppose us in the future."

That serious-looking Qi Fortune expert named Zhang Weiming spoke, his expression grave and murderous.

"They killed many Evolvers, invaded our lands and homes, this war will settle accounts." Another expert named Sun Xing adjusted the brim of his hat, lowered his head slightly, and hummed softly.

"Let’s go."

Wang Chengjun and Li Weiguo first crossed the sky towards the escaping Demon Kings, to see if they could smoothly intercept and kill one or two.

Meanwhile, Li Yi rode at the forefront on the Immortal Dao Battleship. He had already felt several Demon Kings casting looks filled with murderous intent here, seemingly warning Li Yi while defending their territory.

But to Li Yi, this was of no consequence at all. He ignored the Demon Kings’ warnings and merely sent five Cultivation experts of Great Perfection. If the Demon Kings refuse to flee, then be prepared to endure the siege by the five Cultivation experts.

But during the flyover, all thirty-three Cultivators of Great Perfection were dispatched, even Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi went to combat the Demon Kings. Now only Li Yi and the Eastern Pole Venerable remained in the battleship.

The two hadn’t chosen to take action yet in order to keep themselves hidden, and also to secretly guard against the Demon God that might appear at any moment.

Although everything was going very smoothly.

But there were times when things went wrong.

On one battlefield, where originally five Cultivators of Great Perfection were besieging one Demon King, unexpectedly, when they truly engaged, two Demon Kings suddenly appeared in this area, seemingly a couple.

The two Demon Kings joined forces to launch a terrifying strike, directly hitting one Cultivator of Great Perfection. Although this Cultivation expert was clad in Red Gold Battle Armor and had formidable strength, he was directly blasted apart by this sudden strike, only preserving a Primordial Spirit Flower which was quickly rescued by the others, barely saving his life.

"Two Demon Kings? Damn, their auras merged, evading our perception, we underestimated them, immediately call for reinforcement." The other four Cultivators of Great Perfection, shocked and furious at the situation, did not hesitate to signal for reinforcement.

Although four against two still holds an advantage, Li Yi demands a flawless victory, a bloodless seizure of the first continent, without pyrrhic victories, nor excessive loss of top experts.

"We, husband and wife, are not contentious with the world, why do Earth’s Evolvers invade our territory?" said a Great Demon with horns, known as Heavenly Might Demon King, the other a woman with beast ears and a fox tail, referred to as Hundred Fragrance Demon King.

"Strife between Great Realms, that’s always the way. Last year, the Demon Kings of the Demon God Realm invaded Earth, feeding on Evolvers, destroying cities and lands. It’s about time this hatred is settled." Xuanzhen Taoist said coldly.

"That was caused by Sky Moon Demon King and Golden Feather Demon King and has nothing to do with me." The Hundred Fragrance Demon King glared at them and said, "If you’re willing to retreat, we’ll act like today never happened; otherwise, my husband and I don’t mind sending the four of you off together."

"A demon is a demon, a demon for a day, a demon for a lifetime. Today you don’t eat people, doesn’t mean you won’t in the future. If talking about innocence, weren’t the dozens of cities on Earth innocent? When did they harm you, still they were forced to flee everywhere by your realm’s Great Demons."

Xuanzhen Taoist spoke, not rushing to take action, but waiting for reinforcements.

To avoid being counterattacked by the two Demon Kings, and being dragged down upon death.

"What starts as cause, ends as effect. As Demon Kings, you should understand a little of the Heavenly Dao’s principles. Can you avoid this war by merely claiming innocence? Also, during your joint attack, I didn’t see any sign of restraint; if not for some good fortune on my side, I almost perished at your hands." A nearby Cultivator of Great Perfection said, eyes equally cold.

"Good, very good, since words are useless, let’s rely on ability, my Demon King will see what skill Earth’s Cultivators possess to withstand our husband-wife joint force."

Heavenly Might Demon King, now grasping the Demon King Weapon, murderous intent surging, glanced at his wife beside him.

The two shared a connection, naturally understanding each other’s thoughts.

Since they had already dealt with one strong opponent, if they could kill another, the remaining three would be less of a worry.

"Strike!"

Two Demon Kings struck first, the Heavenly Might Demon King roared, instantly manifesting the Demon King’s true form, a black Demon Bull, towering and invincible, radiating an unmatched Divine Power, its body entwined with ancient Dao Traces, and its Demon King Weapon transformed into twin horns, emitting Divine Light.

The Demon Bull charged forward, tearing through the vacuum, its massive form bearing down like the weight of the heavens and earth.

Meanwhile, the Hundred Fragrance Demon King also unleashed all of the Demon King’s Power, a force capable of wreaking havoc on people’s hearts, clouding their Primordial Spirits, and sealing their six senses.

She didn’t need to kill powerful enemies; all she needed was to buy the Heavenly Might Demon King a moment.

"Not good."

Xuan Yuezi Taoist intended to strike, but was briefly hindered by the Demon King’s Power. Though soon the Three Flowers atop his head bloomed, restoring his clarity of mind, the Demon Bull had already reached him.

His pupils contracted abruptly, realizing it was too late to counterattack.

And he wasn’t the only one disturbed by the Hundred Fragrance Demon King; the other three Daoist comrades hesitated for a moment too.

This hesitation might not matter ordinarily, but now it could cost lives.

"Die."

The Heavenly Might Demon King’s fatal strike loomed, leaving Xuan Yuezi Taoist no escape.

Yet in that critical instant, a bolt of lightning flickered between heaven and earth, zooming from the distant horizon with extreme speed, striking precisely on the falling horn of the Heavenly Might Demon King.

The lightning flashed, and the sound of thunder erupted, unleashing a power more terrifying than a Demon King’s Might.

With just one strike.

The horn of the Heavenly Might Demon King shattered instantly, and the gigantic bull body was forcibly blasted away, the shockwave tearing its Demon King’s form apart, spilling vast amounts of Demon King blood across the sky, nearly staining the horizon red.

Ah!

The Heavenly Might Demon King howled, its body plummeting to the ground, smashing mountains and shattering the earth.

The Hundred Fragrance Demon King, nearby, was shocked and furious upon seeing this; disregarding anything else, she immediately used the Demon King’s Power to try to escape with the Heavenly Might Demon King.

But the next moment.

A silver bolt of lightning descended from the sky, as if to slice the world open, precisely hitting the Hundred Fragrance Demon King, severely injuring her and making her cough blood, while the Heavenly Might Demon King was brutally cut in half.

"Five Great Perfection Cultivators almost being overwhelmed by two Demon Kings, it seems you’ve spent too much time in Outer Heaven and forgotten how to fight."

On the battlefield, a flicker of silver lightning appeared, accompanied by a voice, revealing Li Yi stepping out, treading upon Xiangyun, clad in thunder.

"Taiyi Heavenly Venerate." Xuan Yuezi Taoist and the other three Great Perfection Cultivators hurriedly bowed in salute.

Facing Li Yi’s questioning, they looked ashamed and dared not refute.

After all, this battle was indeed a disgrace. If not for Li Yi’s timely support, Xuan Yuezi Taoist’s death would have truly made the situation dire.

Li Yi did not reproach them further, as he still needed them to contribute later. His gaze merely fixed upon the two Demon Kings. He had witnessed the situation earlier and indeed could not blame the Great Perfection Cultivators completely.

In terms of combat awareness and coordination, these two Demon Kings were indeed exceptional, plus, with the previous commotion, they lost the initiative, caught off guard; it’s understandable.

"A powerhouse above Demon Kings..." the Hundred Fragrance Demon King gritted her teeth, blood oozing from her mouth, yet she continued to stare intently at Li Yi.

From this person, she sensed an aura akin to a Divine, that not-so-imposing body seemingly flowing with endless Divine Power, an aura inherently suppressing Demon Kings, invoking inexplicable reverence.

"A couple in love, indeed not easy. In ordinary times, I might permit your Primordial Spirits to leave together, to reshape and renew your bond across realms, but now, I’m sorry, I can only send you both on your way." Li Yi spoke no more, merely gave a signal with his eyes to the others.

Xuan Yuezi Taoist and the other three Great Perfection Cultivators promptly understood, joining forces to strike.

"Wife, flee quickly, I’ll hold them off."

The Heavenly Might Demon King, though his Demon King form was severed and suffered severe injury from Li Yi’s strike, yet in this hopeless moment, he still unleashed a peak force, trying to stall the others, allowing the Hundred Fragrance Demon King to escape.

But it was destined to be futile.

Xuan Yuezi Taoist flew behind him, the Red Gold Divine Sword emitting ten thousand fathoms of golden light, slicing at the Heavenly Might Demon King’s neck, severing that massive Demon King head.

The Hundred Fragrance Demon King was likewise pierced through by the other three Great Perfection Cultivators with Daoist skill, her Demon Soul obliterated, finally revealing her true form, perishing on the spot.

Li Yi merely stood aside, watching coldly, only turning to leave after the battle ended, leaving Xuan Yuezi Taoist and the others to handle the aftermath.
