Chapter 346: Chapter 60: Above the Throne

Translator: 549690339

In the Shenluo Empire’s royal city far to the west, the setting sun cast a layer of afterglow upon it.

Countless white bones surrounded the entire royal city, with the towering capital city scene standing a hundred meters high, as if asserting its authority.

Inside the palace, broken stone pillars were suspended and scattered in a chaotic manner, ancient stone carvings on the wall paintings seemed to come to life, their cold eyes staring at the uninvited guests on both sides of the main hall.

A graceful beautiful woman with a hundred-meter long snake body coiled around the mural throne of the heavenly maiden, her extremely long snake tail dragging on the ground. Each time she flicked her tail, it would shake the entire hall. She wore a golden robe and had a head full of entwined green snakes, her presence was terrifyingly powerful.

Compared to her, the snake women in the hall seemed insignificant, their dresses fluttering and shoulders draped in colored silk, they held their heads low, not daring to look at the beautiful woman on the throne.

This was their master, the Mother Snake.

As a supreme demon emperor, she held a high status in the primitive world and was revered by countless demons.

At the same time, a strong man was stepping on the skull of a high monk and drinking from a wine jug. He took a breath of satisfaction, then poured the wine on the monk’s skull. A feeble Buddha light flickered, and the ghostly figure of the monk appeared, his face numb, watching helplessly as his head was kicked around like a ball.

The strong man laughed and continued to chew on a few snake women who had been performing music in the hall, tasting them like chewing gum, then swallowed them with satisfying smacking sounds.

The graceful beautiful woman did not seem to care; she even coiled her snake tail around several Snake Clan dancers and threw them to the man to enjoy.

The Snake Clan had an endless population, giving birth to hundreds or even thousands at a time. There were plenty to go around.

“My demon emperor, news arrived from the Black Roc Demon King. The combined demon armies were being hindered by powerful human cultivators and are unable to move forward. They suggest concentrating the forces and directly attacking Anxi Prefecture in Xia Country!”

In the main hall, a slender woman stepped forward and reported the news, her face filled with fear and held her breath.

Mother Snake did not respond, her beautiful lips gently parted as her jade hand gripped a bull skull with horns, her snake eyes filled with astonishment.

“What a powerful cultivator! He even made the Fire Crow Demon King trigger the life-saving stone stele that I set up.”

However, after listening to the maid’s report, she seemed quite indifferent.

“Anxi Prefecture is not easy to take.”

“The Xia’s Empress relies on half of the territory bequeathed by the Ancestor Yan Zu and possesses a vast national fortune. As long as Xia Country’s national fortune does not decline, its cultivators will be inexhaustible and difficult to kill. We must cooperate with other worlds.”

The strong man yawned lazily and added, “That’s right, your subordinates think like old apes.”

He even sneered at his own words.

But Mother Snake ignored his teasing and simply said:

“If it hadn’t been for the fact that the sacrificial altar has only recently opened for a few years and the entrance is still unstable, unable to allow more powerful beings to descend, how long could the Xia Country’s imperial court last?”

The snake maid cautiously said, “But my subordinates have heard that the other demon emperors are sharpening their blades, eager to take Anxi Prefecture directly. If we wait like this, would we lose the initiative?”

Mother Snake sneered, her voice enchantingly charming, and shook her head.

“They are thinking too much. This matter cannot be resolved in a short time. The human cultivators’ Immortal Sect is not for show. Although there are fewer cultivators in this part of the world, they are still there. As long as we the demon emperors take action, how could the powerful beings hidden in the dark let it go easily?”

The strong man seemed to have had his fill, got up lazily, and squinted his eyes comfortably.

“Soldier against soldier, general against general, a tough battle will only result in both sides suffering losses, allowing others to take advantage, such as the corpses and lost souls in the netherworld. It is not worth doing, even though the Primitive World has conquered half of the Western State, there is no need to advance to Central State now.”

“Perhaps it’s because other people can’t let go of their grudges.”

Mother Snake had a calm expression, as her palm showed a sinister black glow, Crushing a string of dull sariras, seems like it was originally a human powerhouse’s life-bound magical treasure.

The strong man smiled and said, “Indeed, after being driven out by Yan Zu, they all crave revenge. How could they let go of such an opportunity? But they must take it step by step. Taking too big a step will bring undesired results and there is no need for me to elaborate.”

On the other side,

Zhao Huai glanced at the bull skull with horns in the Fire Crow Demon King’s hand for a moment and did not linger.

He continued to control the flying sword to attack.

The Fire Crow Demon King’s face grew even uglier.

The life-saving stone stele, gifted by Mother Snake, could only be used once and needed to recharge after each use. He was no match for the white-robed sword cultivator.

Would he fall this time?

The Fire Crow Demon King looked at the fierce battle between the human and demon troops on the sand field and had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

The scorching demon blood healed his wings’ wounds slightly, then he turned his head and spat out a scorching breath again.Zhao Huai easily dodged it.

“Hahaha, let these foolish humans be your funeral companion!”

Only after the Fire Crow Demon King laughed did Zhao Huai realize that the fire breath just now was not aimed at him.

Instead, it grazed his position and shot at the many human cultivators behind him. The enemy wanted to kill these human cultivators!

Kill the Demon King or save the people.

Zhao Huai didn’t hesitate much, put down the Fire Crow Demon King in front of him, and darted towards the direction of the fire breath.

“Hehe!”

The Fire Crow Demon King sneered and took advantage of this opportunity to escape.

But it didn’t rejoice for long, as a deep green slender flying sword shot at him.

Carrying piercingly cold air, it was the Immortal Sword Green Frost.

Zhao Huai could use multiple flying swords for combat, multitasking, and taking people’s lives even thousands of miles away.

With a “clang” of the flying sword.

It cut off another wing of the Fire Crow Demon King.

Not only did the Fire Crow Demon King lose the ability to fly, but its energy also weakened to the extreme.

The scorching fire breath swept in with heatwaves, leaving the numerous cultivators on the ground terrified and at a loss. They stared wide-eyed as the terrifying fireball was about to hit the ground.

Zhao Huai, who had arrived in an instant, drew his sword and pointed it at the void.

A complicated thunderbolt rose from the universe; the thunder produced water, carrying the spiritual qi from Heaven and Earth.

It was the Water Sky Thunderstorm Talisman.

The Three Thousand Thunderbolt Technique had reached the realm of great achievement, making up for inherent deficiencies. Zhao Huai had every kind of thunder talisman engraved in his heart.

Under the impact of the Water Sky Thunderstorm Talisman, the scorching fire breath quickly dispersed, turning into water vapor.

Zhao Huai’s gaze fell on the many barbaric beasts and demons in front of him, as well as the dead human corpses, his face full of murderous intent.

The invasion of the Primitive World had caused heavy casualties to the human race, something absolutely unforgivable!

Zhao Huai’s foot stepped on the ground, causing the yellow sand within tens of feet to be shaken into the air.

Then, with one-handed support, he exerted a vast sword intent on every grain of sand dust.

Whoosh, whoosh

Each grain of yellow sand became like a sword, flying in all directions.

In an instant, countless screams of the demon race rang out, all of them falling to the ground, losing any trace of life.

The numerous disciples of the Immortal Yearning Sect looked at Zhao Huai in the void with admiration, their eyes full of respect.

But Zhao Huai had no time to care for them.

Raising his hand, he pushed out another flying sword, killing the Fire Crow Demon King.

A single flying sword might still let it escape.

Finally.

The Fire Crow Demon King couldn’t resist the onslaught of multiple flying swords and fell heavily to the ground. Before dying, its wings were gone, and its eyes were wide open, showing that it hadn’t died peacefully.

Zhao Huai took a breath and slowly landed. The disciples of the sect gathered around, with numerous grateful and complimentary voices. However, he had heard enough of these voices lately. He just nodded in acceptance. They were all victims of the demon invasion. If it weren’t for the demons, they might still be cultivating in the sect, ignorant of worldly affairs, instead of fighting on the battlefield.

“Young Master Zhao.”

Suddenly, a familiar voice caught Zhao Huai’s attention.

He looked up and saw a familiar woman’s face with a faint smile.”

“It’s you, Senior Sister Lu.”
