Chapter 519: Chapter 257: A Deadly Situation? Have You Asked the Sanqing Saint Heir? (9000 words)_2

The Xuanji Saint Heir, Bei Tangfeng, commanded countless puppets, moving freely across the battlefield as he switched effortlessly between his true form and his constructs, striking fear into the hearts of the Demon Race. These were but a few of countless similar feats.

On the main battlefield, the Demon Race was being utterly crushed! The sight was truly frightening.

"How can this be? How could the Human Race possibly be this strong?" In the void above, one demon powerhouse after another gazed down upon the battlefield, their hearts trembling in shock.

They acknowledged that the Human Race had extraordinary potential. By cultivating to a high Realm, they could shed their inherently weak bodies and match the strength of divinely blessed races like the Pureblood Demon Race or even the True Demons. Yet, this group of youths before them was just as formidable.

"Human, your strength has earned my respect. Tell me your name!" A Terrifying Demon retreated thousands of feet, staring at Zhang Yuge from afar. Its body was pitch-black and winged, and its aura was immensely powerful.

Its bloodline was pure. Even among its own kind, it was an absolute prodigy, unmatched by its peers. Now, it had fought a human youth to a standstill, the two evenly matched.

"Why would a dying demon need to know so much?" Zhang Yuge stood atop a sea of thunder, sparks of electricity flickering all over him. High above in the Nine Heavens, clouds churned, and divine thunder wrapped around him like chains, making him appear like the god of thunder incarnate.

His mastery of the Thunder Path had been advancing by leaps and bounds ever since receiving Wang Xiu’s guidance in Vermilion Bird City. After months of secluded training, his Thunder Technique had reached an unprecedented level, far surpassing the expectations of the Longhu Immortal Sect’s elders.

"Arrogant! Do you think you can kill me? The power I’ve shown is less than a tenth of my true strength!" the Terrifying Demon roared, its cry shaking the heavens, powerful enough to shatter mountains and split stone.

DING!

[Bluffing detected nearby. Congratulations, Host, for receiving Mana +266!]

This human truly didn’t know his place. The demon was a high and mighty pure-blooded creature with an incredibly pure bloodline. It held a sliver of hope of reverting to its ancestors and achieving the immortal True Demon Bloodline. To ask a human for his name was already a great condescension, yet the other party was so unappreciative.

"A tenth? Your limit doesn’t seem that impressive. I haven’t even used one percent of my power!" Zhang Yuge sneered, his body radiating an even more intense thunderous light, his tone dripping with scorn.

DING!

[Bluffing detected nearby. Congratulations, Host, for receiving Mana +255!]

"Damn you..." The Terrifying Demon grew even more furious, its pitch-black body writhing as it revealed pulsing crimson fissures.

Zhang Yuge’s eyes narrowed as he continued, "With that pathetic amount of power, you dare act so mighty? I’m just an unremarkable prodigy among the Human Race; there are countless humans far stronger than me! Forget them—if my brother were here, a single sneeze from him would be enough to blast you into ashes!"

"Nonsense! There cannot be a human that strong! What is your brother’s name?" The Terrifying Demon burned with rage, its aura growing stronger and stronger. Its race drew power from terror and fury, a profoundly mysterious source. The greater its inner rage and the more intense the surrounding atmosphere of terror, the more terrifying its strength became.

At this moment, provoked to the extreme, its aura was several times more powerful than before.

"You aren’t worthy of knowing my brother’s name. You need only remember the title: Sanqing Saint Heir!"

Zhang Yuge spoke provocatively. As his words fell, the Terrifying Demon’s Demonic Light surged wildly. Its body transformed, growing hundreds of feet tall until it covered the sky and blotted out the sun. Rolling Demonic Qi descended, instantly and grievously wounding many human elites.

At the same time, the crimson fissures on its body burst open completely, revealing countless eyes. The sight was bizarre and unnerving, enough to make one’s scalp crawl.

"Now!"

Zhang Yuge’s eyes lit up. His hands flew through a series of seals, gathering five-colored divine thunder that soared into the sky and struck viciously at those eyes.

"AAAH—!"

The Terrifying Demon shrieked in agony. Terrifying cracks, like a spiderweb, spread across its body. Destructive thunderbolts rained down, instantly shattering its defenses and blasting it deep into the earth.

To bring about its demise, one must first drive it to madness! The Terrifying Demon has tenacious life force; ordinary methods can hardly kill it. Only by attacking its vitals when its power swells to the absolute limit—the very moment it is most vulnerable—can it be slain... The Soul Fighting Machine did not deceive me!

Zhang Yuge celebrated inwardly, his eyes gleaming.

After all, the life forms of the Demon Race are indeed much stronger than humans of the same Realm. My thunder-attribute spiritual body is certainly not weak, but a direct confrontation would still be insufficient! I had to win through cunning!

Fortunately, the Soul Fighting Machine contained a prototype of this Terrifying Demon, a foe that has been defeated countless times. Thank heavens my brother created a treasure like the Soul Fighting Machine. Otherwise... if we knew nothing about these Demonic Beasts, who knows how many would have died in this battle!

"We can’t let this continue! Where are the Foreign Demons? Send them to the front lines!"

"Yes, even if only as cannon fodder!"

"..."

Horns sounded from deep within Demon Sea Island. One demon lord after another stood high in the Firmament, using their vast Demonic Power to coerce the Foreign Demons into battle against the humans. Since they were disobedient, it was better to use them to wear down the Human Race’s forces.

Vast numbers of Foreign Demons were driven out, surging from all directions to form a demonic tide that swept onto the battlefield. Their approach shook the heavens and the earth, a magnificent yet terrifying spectacle.

Seeing this, the expressions of the human cultivators shifted. The Foreign Demons were considered weak only in comparison to pure-blooded creatures. In reality, they were not much weaker than an average cultivator.

Some of the more powerful Foreign Demons were even far superior to humans of the same Realm.

With such a vast horde surging forward, a fierce battle was inevitable.
