“Pong, Pong, Pong!”
Tremors could be felt from the west of Stellarsky City; the demonic beast army was arriving. The tens of thousands of army that were lined up on the city walls began to tense up while all of them were looking towards the west.
The west of the Stellarsky City was flat plains. Right now, a black line could be seen clearly in the horizon, rapidly approaching. The black line soon converged into black clouds; the aerial demonic beasts arrived, and the black clouds began to cover the earth.
It was noontime, but the entire sky had become dark because of these demonic beast groups. Waves of formidable demonic aura surged, enveloping the entire city and causing all the residents in the city to sense death.
“Howl-Howl!””Wu-Wu!”
“Ku-Ku!””Chi-Chi!”
Countless demonic beasts roared, causing those powerless commoners to be frightened stiff. Most of them had pale expressions while some began to escape. The demonic beast army was advancing at such speed, and if the experts in the city weren’t able to stop the army, where else could they run to?
“Swish!”
Among the demonic beast army was an upper-class lady who was dressed in a pink dress while walking in mid-air. She didn’t release any aura and didn’t have any expression on her face. There wasn’t even a hint of killing aura, but her presence alone gave a great pressure on all the guards and generals on the city wall.
Using a single finger to eliminate Su Pingping. The impression that the Demon Empress gave to everyone was that she was the most terrifying demon and an invincible symbol.
“Demon Empress! I am the Regent of the Azure Dragon Empire, Princess Ling Xue!”
Dressed in a phoenix robe, Ling Xue walked up the city wall in an imposing manner while being wrapped by a group of peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts. She stood high on a tall platform above the city gate.
She was holding onto a scepter that symbolized the imperial authority, waving it high while shouting with her delicate voice, “Demon Empress. I think you must have guessed that your daughter has been intentionally kidnapped by someone, with the motive of shifting the blame onto the Azure Dragon Empire, using the demonic beast army that you lead to invade Stellarsky City. My subordinates have traced the location of your daughter and are currently in the midst of a rescue. I hope that you give me some time!”
The Demon Empress waved her hand, indicating for the demonic beast army to line up orderly 30 kilometers away from the city. She then looked at Ling Xue with an emotionless face while speaking, “I do not care about the schemes of your humankind. I just want to find my daughter, and anyone who harms my daughter must die!
“You say that someone is trying to frame your Azure Dragon Empire. Then show me your proof, and I will immediately help you to raze that kingdom! If you do not have any evidence… then please shut your mouth! My daughter stopped at Stellarsky City for several days and was still missing with so many experts looking for her? Is that possible? Hurhur, your Azure Dragon Empire is surely involved in this matter. So… you either evacuate from Stellarsky City immediately, or you shall all die! Attack!”
As the Demon Empress gave her order, the eighteen Demon Kings instantly released their ferocious aura while they roared violently and dashed towards the city. Countless demonic beasts followed behind them as they flooded the city like a surge of steel.
“Prepare for battle!”
Ling Xue helplessly let out a sigh while numerous experts flocked down the city walls, along with an unending stream of soldiers.
She understood what the Demon Empress meant. It didn’t matter if the Azure Dragon Empire was involved in the kidnapping of the little fox; Stellarsky City was going to be destroyed regardless! The Demon Empress wanted to make use of the devastation of Stellarsky City to announce her fury to all mankind. Anyone who dared touch her daughter would have to suffer from her wrath! Since mankind dared to break the blood vow, she would uphold her demon race’s dignity at all costs.
Evacuate?
The commoners might be able to evacuate, but Ling Xue, the officials, and military of Stellarsky City couldn’t evacuate. They had nowhere else to go to. Without Stellarsky City, the Azure Dragon Empire would perish. Without the imperial court, they were weeds without roots. None of the vassal kingdoms would offer them refuge, allowing them an opportunity to struggle at death’s door and recover. Hence, they had no choice but to die in battle.
“Swish-swish-swish!”
Countless figures flew out from the imperial palace, and all of them were wearing black armors and black helmets, wielding black battle sabers. The sabers were all radiating with light and had frightening auras which were all actually heaven artifacts.
Most importantly… this unending amount of experts was actually all beyond the fifth stage of Soul Travel Realm. In just a few blinks of the eye, there were already almost a thousand experts which frightened the spies from various kingdoms into chaos.
The Azure Dragon Empire’s hidden trump was finally utilized at this crucial moment. After recuperating for ten thousand years—recruiting and nurturing countless experts, they were all finally forced out by the demonic beast army.
“Demon Empress, battle with this old man!”
Suddenly, a forceful voice echoed, which caused the whole city to tremble. This voice might sound aged and wasn’t very loud, but it resonated in everyone’s heart like an almighty being from the nine heavens. It had an indescribable power that calmed everyone’s heart and made everyone bowed down to worship.
“The old ancestor is finally out of seclusion!”
Ling Xue’s eyes lit up and were radiating in all directions like a beautiful and alluring individual. The Soul Travel Realm experts, who were guarding her, were all ecstatic as well.
The guardian deity of the Azure Dragon Empire was not yet dead?
This individual had attained the peak stage of Vajra Realm more than a hundred years ago and was on the pinnacle of all martial experts. After concealing himself for a hundred years, everyone assumed that he was dead; otherwise, Shui Youlan wouldn’t be qualified for the no.1 martial expert position.
“Swish!”
An elderly that was dressed in dragon robes shot out from the imperial palace. His massive aura enveloped the entire Stellarsky City like the sun and the moon, so formidable that no one dared to look directly at him. His body quickly illuminated with yellow light as he flew straight up into the sky like he was a blazing sun that rose up into the sky, extremely overbearing.
“Hmph!”
The Demon Empress snorted coldly, and with a wave of her hands, her sleeves fluttered as she flew up into the sky not showing any weakness. The two of them soon turned into black dots and vanished.
“All troops, attack!”
With a wave of the scepter in her hands, Ling Xue yelled out delicately. In her heart, the old ancestor of the Azure Dragon Empire was a god. As long as he appeared, he might not be able to kill or severely injure the Demon Empress; but he should at least be able to have an even match with the Demon Empress. He was an absolute martial expert that was already at the peak stage of Vajra Realm a hundred years ago. If he appeared at such a crucial moment, it was very possible that he had broken through the final phase and achieved Heaven Monarch.
“Heaven Monarch…”
When thinking about this, Ling Xue was extremely emotional. If he truly became a Heaven Monarch, the Azure Dragon Empire might be able to eliminate all six vassal kingdoms and conquer the world, reliving the glory back when the Empire was at their prime.
“Kill!”
Thousands of Soul Travel Realm experts formed mighty battalions and rushed at the demonic beast groups. Countless peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts went against those eighteen Demon Kings.
Tier-four Demon Kings were comparable to Vajra Realm martial experts on strict reasoning, but demonic beasts would still be demonic beasts. They could only use demonic arts; they didn’t have special powers like humans and couldn’t utilize artifacts either. The Azure Dragon Empire had hundreds of peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts, thousands of fifth-stage Soul Travel Realm expert and tens of thousands of soldiers. As long as the Azure Dragon Empire ancestor was able to withstand against the Demon Empress, their forces would be able to easily oppress the demonic beast army.
As expected!
The Empire had too many experts, and all of them had heaven artifacts. The Azure Dragon Empire’s foundation was deep, and they had countless artifacts. Once those eighteen Demon Kings were restrained, the rest of the tier-three and tier-two demonic beasts were slaughtered in batches. A group of seventh- and eighth-stage Soul Travel Realm experts, who were armed with heaven artifacts, could deal with tier-three demonic beasts without any pressure and could kill tier-two demonic beasts in a matter of seconds.
“Boom-Boom-Boom!”
There was a shocking explosion that abruptly echoed from the skies. Horrifying auras were sent down from ten thousand miles above the sky. The spaces in the skies were being ripped apart, like the heaven was about to collapse, putting fear and trepidation in the commoners who were facing this disaster, causing them to suffocate.
The scale of victory seemed to be leaning towards the Azure Dragon Empire!
Ling Xue, who was standing on the city wall, had this delighted expression on her absolutely beautiful face. From the looks of it, the old ancestor was indeed evenly matched with the Demon Empress; and as long as they could drag it a few more hours, she had confidence that they would be able to slay all eighteen Demon Kings.
