Chapter 258: Chapter 257: Golden Crow Demon Emperor, Chaotic Battle! (First Update, Please Subscribe)
On the battlefield, blood scattered across the void.
The ground was dyed red with blood, distant shattered corpses, including Qi Refining Demon Beasts, Foundation Establishment Demon Beasts, and a few broken bodies of Purple Mansion Demon Beasts.
These Demon Beasts were not killed by Lu Xuanji but died accidentally under the impact of the aftershocks during the great battle.
Although Lu Xuanji disdained killing low-level Demon Beasts, if those low-level Demon Beasts were caught in the aftershocks of a battle and died by misfortune, it was their own fault.
Lu Xuanji stood on the ground, his white clothes stained with blood, his whole body emitting evil qi, like a peerless God of Slaughter.
Within a thirty-mile radius, there was not a single Demon Beast, all avoiding from afar, a hint of fear flickering in their wild eyes. Just in the recent skirmish, some Demon Beasts were too close and were crushed to death by the aftershocks.
Having slain ten Demon Monarchs, Lu Xuanji was only slightly fatigued. He circulated his cultivation technique, and Spiritual Qi flowed into his body, swiftly transforming into strands of True Essence, rapidly restoring his exhausted True Essence.
Kill!
Lu Xuanji took a step forward, charging toward a Purple Mansion Demon Monarch.
The Purple Mansion Demon Monarch was terrified, trying to dodge, yet he was a step too slow, beheaded in one strike, killed instantly.
There are no ordinary people in the Purple Mansion.
Whether Human Race or Demon Race, those who can step into the Purple Mansion Realm are all of heavenly genius level.
Among the Human Race, those cultivators entering the Purple Mansion Realm are either Dual Spirit Roots, Anomalous Spirit Roots, demonic Three Spirit Roots, or cultivators with significant backgrounds or great opportunities.
In the Demon Race, Purple Mansion Demon Beasts are also the elite class. They possess ancient Divine Beast bloodlines and powerful Lifebound Divine Techniques, each of them demonic and heaven-defying.
Within the Demon Race, the numbers of Qi Refining Demon Beasts and Foundation Establishment Demon Beasts are several times or dozens of times that of humans, but after reaching the Purple Mansion Realm, the numbers drastically decline, only demonic prodigies manage to enter the Purple Mansion.
In ordinary times, if Lu Xuanji were to kill a Purple Mansion Demon Beast, a Golden Core Demon Beast would immediately come to fight to the death.
But with the beast tide invasion, the order collapsed, and in the chaos, Lu Xuanji could slaughter Purple Mansion Demon Beasts at will, killing ten Purple Mansion Demon Monarchs, while the Demon Race’s Golden Core or Nascent Soul levels chose to turn a blind eye.
Take this opportunity to kill more Demon Beasts.
...
Hundred Thousand Mountains.
There was a luxurious palace, built with white jade bricks and supported by cyan Divine Wood beams, surrounded by mist, dreamlike, as if in a dream.
On the palace, were three large characters: Demon Emperor Hall.
In the center of the palace, there was a massive terrain map, on which a black stone and white stone were clashing, constantly dissolving, constantly obliterating.
Around the Great Cauldron, sat towering figures, both male and female, some with auras like flames, some with sword qi soaring to the sky, some emanating killing intent, some with the metallic slaughter of Geng Metal, some with endless waves surging, some shadow-like, difficult to discern.
Golden Crow Demon Emperor, White Tiger Demon Emperor, Kunpeng Demon Emperor, Black Phoenix Demon Emperor, Cyan Dragon Demon Emperor, Cyan Lotus Demon Emperor, and Blood Night Demon Emperor, approximately thirteen Demon Emperors were sitting here, watching countless pieces clashing on the map.
In the Demon Race, Qi Refining are cannon fodder, Foundation Establishment are Demon Generals, Purple Mansion are Demon Monarchs, Golden Core are Demon Kings, Nascent Soul are Demon Emperors.
Nascent Soul Demon Emperors are the rulers of the Demon Race.
Of course, the Demon Emperors of the Hundred Thousand Mountains are not just these, there are other Nascent Soul Demon Emperors who have not attended such a banquet; some are traveling, some are in closed-door cultivation, some are in closed-door artifact refining, and for various reasons have not come.
Ka-cha!
Ka-cha!
At this moment, Kunpeng Demon Emperor frowned, feeling the throbbing of bloodline, a descendant had fallen.
Unlike the high-level cultivators of the Human Race, who have low fertility.
The Demon Race places reproduction as the first priority, starting to procreate at the Qi Refining Realm, from Foundation Establishment, Purple Mansion, Golden Core, up to the current Nascent Soul, in a lifespan of approximately three thousand years, Kunpeng Demon Emperor has sired about three thousand five hundred offspring, with some offspring having immense potential and others with mediocre qualifications.
A son births a grandson, the grandson sires the next generation, one generation succeeds another.
In this three-thousand-year history, approximately three hundred thousand descendants remain.
Most of the descendants, because of the distant relations and large numbers, Kunpeng Demon Emperor has indifferent feelings towards them. However, descendants with strong bloodlines and qualifications attract his attention.
"I have a descendant, approximately at the eighth layer of the Purple Mansion Realm, who was slain by a Human Race genius!"
Kunpeng Demon Emperor said.
"A fallen genius is not a genius, it seems that descendant was somewhat useless!" Golden Crow Demon Emperor laughed: "The beast tide is originally an elimination contest. From what I perceive, eighteen Golden Crows have already fallen, among them eight Purple Mansion Demon Monarchs, ten Foundation Establishment Demon Generals."
Perceiving the fall of offspring, Golden Crow Demon Emperor remained expressionless, as if only a few strangers had died.
"Not only that, my descendant was a genius ranked fifty-second on the Demon Monarch List, yet he fell to the hands of a Human Race Purple Mansion genius!"
Kunpeng Demon Emperor said.
"So it turns out it’s a demon genius, encountering a Human Race genius there, then send the Demon Race genius to kill him!" Golden Crow Demon Emperor said, "Let some demon geniuses of my Demon Race go. If they kill the Human Race genius, all the better; if not, send more geniuses!"
"Alright!"
Kunpeng Demon Emperor nodded, activated a token, and began issuing orders.
Some of the Purple Mansion Demon Beasts under his command sensed and went forth.
Golden Crow Demon Emperor also took out a token, beginning to issue orders, and the demons of the Golden Crow lineage also went forth.
Then, they turned their attention to the eight battlefields, where Golden Core cultivators were clashing.
Golden Core cultivators are their primary focus, as for the mere Purple Mansion cultivators, they do not attract much attention, just mentioning it once is already giving face.
...
Boom boom boom!
On the battlefield, after Lu Xuanji killed three Purple Mansion Demon Beasts in a row, the void flickered, a scorching sun rose in the distance, and a Golden Crow transformed into a streak of rainbow light descended.
Behind it, thirty-eight Purple Mansion Demon Monarchs and fifteen hundred Foundation Establishment Demon Beasts charged in.
"Mere Human brat, courting death!"
The Golden Crow Demon Monarch shouted long, summoning its subordinates, surrounding to kill.
Thirty-nine Purple Mansion Demon Monarchs and thousands of Foundation Establishment Demon Beasts besieging one Purple Mansion Eight Immortals City cultivator, not caring for virtues of warfare at all.
Seeing this scene, Lu Xuanji was also apprehensive, activating Vertical Earth Golden Light, ready to flee.
At least fight and retreat simultaneously, getting trapped in a siege would only result in being beaten to death.
"Feathered bastard, only knowing to gang up, my Human Race fears no such!"
At this moment, Liu Ruming appeared, with eighteen Purple Mansion Sword Cultivators and eight hundred Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivators behind her, bringing endless killing intent, charging toward the lineage of Golden Crows.
The Demon Race army and the Human Race army clashed together, both sides engaging in a mixed battle.
