Thirty-six Titled Demon Sovereigns were in the Endless Deep Sea while there were seven to eight hundred other Demon Sovereigns. However, many Demon Sovereigns were actually quite weak; they could only be comparable to five-star formidable martial artists. The ranking system of the demon race was not entirely the same as that of the human race. The demon race did not know how to cultivate, and so they did not know how to use dao patterns. Hence, their combined combat ability was lower than that of the humans.
That year, the Mystic Thearch had killed all the powerful demons of the demon races; the demons in the Endless Deep Sea were dealt a heavy blow. Even the number of low-class demons had reached a record low. Over the past more than seven hundred thousand years, the demon race had managed to recover some of their strength; and more than seven hundred Demon Sovereign have emerged. However, they were still a long way away from regaining their strength at their peak.
The second wave of the human army had not arrived yet, though the two armies that had been cleansing the continents near the sea have arrived and joined in. Be that as it may, the humans were already in an absolute advantageous position due to the presence of their Demigods and the number of formidable martial artists present; there were so many seven- and eight-star martial artists while the entire army comprised Heaven Monarchs. The number of four- and five-star formidable martial artists was uncountable.
The Black Deity was being hammered by the North Thearch while above them, the Battle Thearch and Ao Lu were fighting a prolonged battle. However, it was apparent that the two sides were still even. Ao Lu’s defenses were really strong though it was a pity his offensive abilities were weaker. The Battle Thearch, on the other hand, was too fast; people beneath could not even make out his figure clearly. They could only see a white streak of light zipping and zapping in the air.
The Beast Thearch had been unstoppable ever since he transformed. His dragon claws sliced through everything; one of the Titled Demon Sovereigns had been utterly wounded by him in just five minutes. The Evil Thearch was also very terrifying; the Demon Sovereign facing him had already suffered many blows.
The Sword Thearch had used his Soul-Hooking Flute and released the Divine Sound Heaven Skill. However, he did not use it as a form of group attack; the sound of his flute floated continuously towards a Demon Sovereign. What astonished many was that… that Demon Sovereign started to attack the demon race after being controlled by the Sword Thearch.
Tang Shenji’s fighting strength was formidable as well. Although his forte was in making money and in strategy, his battle strength was not to be underestimated. Furthermore, he had in his possession an incredibly horrifying ancient artifact. That was a Lion’s Seal. Every time it smashe, the opposing Demon Sovereign would definitely be sent flying!
The Ten Concealed Great Sects and Ten Ancient Clans’ formidable martial artists were also very powerful; many Demon Sovereigns were heavy pressed and did not have the ability to retaliate at all.
Of course, some Titled Demon Sovereigns were not to be messed with either. Some weaker Demigods were in deep trouble many a time; some Demigods’ divine shields had been smashed apart by demonic arts. If they had not reacted fast enough, they would have perished.
“Ha!”
Ten minutes later, the Beast Thearch tunneled his way through the body of a Demon Sovereign sea lion; that few-hundred-feet long Demon Sovereign sea lion had actually been torn into two by the Beast Thearch. In only such a short time, one Demon Sovereign had already died.
Tsk! Tsk!
A huge Demon Sovereign snake spat out a mouthful of black air that corroded a Demigod’s divine shield; its thorny black tail had strangled that Demigod to death while its giant head bit the Demigod’s head right off as blood sputtered. Demigods were also starting to die on the human race’s side.
As for those Heaven Monarchs, Demon Thearchs, and Demon Kings; bodies were dropping everywhere. Particularly on the side of the demon race, the losses were significantly heavier. The human race knew how to fight in battle formations while everyone had weapons, with some even wielding pseudo-divine artifact and other formidable martial artists using ancient artifacts as well.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
There were explosions everywhere as all sorts of howls and roars originating from the demons were rocking the sea; the ice layer in a five-thousand-kilometers radius had long been destroyed. The seawater had also become a brownish-red color. Numerous corpses of humans and demons alike that were floating on the surface of the sea were further blown into bits by attacks were flying everywhere.
“Wuu-Wuu-Wuu…”
The cold winds were assailing as snow continued to fall. The sky that was originally gloomy was now alternating between brightness and darkness as attacks were being sent forth. The stench of blood had emanated to five hundred thousand kilometers away; the entire Endless Deep Sea had become a slaughterhouse.
One hour had passed… two hours had passed!
The number of casualties for the demon race had surpassed ten million while more than five million had died on the human race’s side. It was obvious that the losses on the demon race’s side were more severe. Explosions continued to rock the high skies as Ao Lu and the Battle Thearch’s duel continued; neither was able to gain an upper-hand against the other. The stalemate continued.
The Black Deity had already been severely wounded; if it wasn’t for the Shadow Emperor’s constant sneak attacks on the North Thearch, the Black Deity would have long died. The Shadow Emperor’s clan produced the best scouts in the Stellarsky Domain; there was none better! The Shadow Emperor’s attacks were also without form and extremely agile. After he attacked this side, he would disappear and attack from another side in the next moment.
“Roar-roar-roar!”
At this moment, a huge wave of beast-like roars could be heard to the south of the Endless Deep Sea. That was followed by a powerful wave of beast-like auras. The Black Deity and Shadow Emperor looked to the south and brightened immediately. Ten million demons had appeared to the south, with the dozen-odd Demon Sovereigns leading them having immensely strong auras. Their auras could rival that of the Black Deity’s while there were three that could rival the Sword Thearch, Evil Thearch, and other eight-star formidable martial artists.
“The Blood Night Fearsome Sea’s demons have finally arrived!’
Ao Lu looked over as his heart was steadied. He had told Qianqian that they had a forty-percent chance of winning; that was based on the assumption that the Blood Night Fearsome Sea would send reinforcements. If not, the demons currently present would be wiped out within a few more hours. If the Battle Thearch and North Thearch attacked him together, Ao Lu would also die.
“Hmph!”
The Battle Thearch saw that the reinforcements had arrived for the demon race but did not reveal any expression. He softly snorted as he accelerated his attack speed. The North Thearch and company also did not appear too alarmed; he even had a mocking look on his face. However, the human army that saw the demon reinforcements was obviously getting a little nervous. Their battle formations became messier, and they were soon being pressed by the demon race as their losses accelerated.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
A mere ten minutes later, an air-splitting noise came from the west. A million Heaven Fate Ships had appeared in the sky. The East Imperial Continent’s second wave of troops had finally arrived. They numbered twenty million; there were more than a hundred Demigods as well.
Kill—
All the Heaven Fate Ships disappeared in mid-air as an additional twenty million soldiers joined in the fray. The demon race had just gotten the upper-hand but was now being beaten down again. While ten million demons had come, twenty million humans had arrived; the disparity in battle strength was widened again.
The battlefield had spread from five thousand kilometers of the sea region to fifty thousand kilometers; the demon race was fighting to the death while the human race was bloodthirsty. At this moment, both sides were very clear that they could not think about retreating or escaping; if they did so they would suffer a crushing defeat.
Another four hours had passed!
Ao Lu looked down as the number of dead on the demon race’s side reached twenty million, at the Shadow Emperor and Black Deity who was on the verge of death. He then looked at the Titled Demon Sovereigns that were reduced to less than half their strength as he sighed deeply. His gaze turned towards the direction of the Mystic Martial City as he murmured, “Why is that lass not out of seclusion yet? If she does not come out any sooner, the demon race will not be able to hold out any longer; and we will be annihilated!”
Jiang Xiaonu had not appeared; perhaps she might not come out from seclusion in the near future.
However, fifteen minutes later, a small shadow flew by from the north. That was a jade-sculpture liked young lady that looked around seven to eight years old, wearing a pink dress with two cute plaids. She had come as a human as she opened her eyes and saw the hell-like scene in front of her, her eyes filled with rage.
The battle was at its peak and the entrance of a beautiful young lady made many people feel that something was not right. However, this young lady’s speed had frightened humans and demons alike.
In fact, she was moving at an astonishing speed!
The Black Deity was once again sent flying by the North Thearch. After realizing that many Demon Sovereigns were looking to the north, he also looked. His face then changed, and he roared, “Little fox, go back, you should not have come!”
“No, I want to come!”
The lass was very resolute as she spoke. She then stretched a white finger and pointed at the mass of formidable martial artists in front of her, saying, “Queen Mother had said that they are all bad people, that they want to annihilate the demon race. I, Xiao Fei, want to help the demon race to kill the bad people. All the bad guys have to die!”
Buzz!
The young lady disappeared in a flash of pink light as she became a beautiful little fox. Its butt had many long snow-white long tails. The Black Deity looked and gasped.
The little fox actually had six tails!
