Chapter 580: Chapter 307: The Demon King of Heaven, the Commander of the Monster Extermination Army Appears_2
Some of them had appearances almost identical to those of the Human Race, with no distinction.
However, upon seeing those ‘people,’ both Heavenly Sword Elder and Unparalleled Venerable’s faces turned solemn.
Only the Ninth Rank Demon Kings of the Demon Race could make several Celestial Human Venerables feel solemn.
At this moment, Lu Yun’s heart was also incredibly unsettled, as the power of the Demon Race far exceeded his imagination.
Even across an endless battlefield, he could still clearly feel the terrifying aura emanating from the colossal Demon Army, causing a suffocating sensation.
The million-strong Demon Army was at the weakest Fifth Rank, and the murderous intent that they gathered together shot up into the sky, stirring the Evil Qi that filled the Endless Battlefield.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, an extremely immense aura emerged, with a pillar of light piercing the sky and enveloping the entire Endless Battlefield.
A figure enveloped in black radiance stepped out from that sky-piercing pillar of light, overlooking heaven and earth.
Even the Evil Qi that pervaded the void, the aura of slaughter gathered within the Demon Army, and the grand and boundless chaotic flow of the void, were all slightly solidified under the covering of the black radiance.
“Awake after a hundred years of slumber, let’s see how the Human Race’s Heavenly Pride fares!”
That burly figure, nearly two meters tall with both hands on his back, his eyes contained endless coldness.
He wore an incredibly intricate and ancient black robe, surrounded by black light, and his pitch-black eyes were as calm as a vast starry river and as cold as an endless abyss.
With his appearance, countless gazes were drawn to him.
Without a doubt, this was an undefeated powerhouse, with a soaring aura that commanded the submission of the masses.
“What an incredible powerhouse! Just one glance almost shattered my will!”
Someone’s voice trembled as they spoke.
That figure stood there as if he was a divine demon connecting heaven and earth, the master of the world, with everything submitting at his feet, making people unable to resist offering their respectful worship.
“The Emperor Demon King, one of the top Demon Kings, didn’t expect him to come.”
Unparalleled Venerable spoke, his face a bit unsightly, as he stared fixedly at the body enveloped in black light, solemnly saying, “A hundred years ago, he was already a top-ranking Demon King. I don’t know how much more powerful he has become.”
Back when he first reached the Golden Core Realm, he had caught a distant glimpse of the Emperor Demon King, at that time he felt that the latter was like a boundless and unfathomable void.
Now, he has become a Celestial Human, but the Emperor Demon King remains unfathomable.
“Emperor Demon King?”
Lu Yun frowned as he sensed an extremely grave sense of crisis from the other party.
Not long ago, he had killed a Demon King, secluding himself for a period of time, his strength had increased once again.
However, he felt that if he were to face the Emperor Demon King, even if he used all his trump cards, he would still die.
The gap between the Purple Pupil Demon King and the Emperor Demon King was too vast!
At this moment, a vast aura emanated from high above the massive warship as well.
This aura was even more terrifying, as if chaos descended upon the dawn of heaven and earth.
Boom!
The breeze retreated.
Chaos collapsed.
An imposing, boundless pressure enveloped the entire void, with golden radiance illuminating heaven and earth, dispelling the endless darkness, as a figure like a scorching sun emerged, taking a step forward from the void directly above the Endless Battlefield.
“Thump!”
As his foot descended, the void trembled, the heaven and earth changed colors, and the endless Evil Qi lingering in the Endless Battlefield’s airspace dissipated.
This was a middle-aged man in a blue robe, elegant and refined, with Cave Heavens appearing around him, and Rules intertwining.
As soon as he appeared, the eyes of countless Monster Extermination Army powerhouses filled with excitement, astonishment, and reverence.
He was none other than one of the top-ranking higher-ups of the Morigin Emperor’s Court, the Army Commander of Monster Extermination Army, Song Que.
Two hundred years ago, he rose from the ranks of the Monster Extermination Army, established a formidable reputation, suppressing countless Demon Race prodigies and powerhouses, and eventually breaking through to become a Celestial Human.
Soon after, he continued his unstoppable advances, slaying more than a dozen Demon Kings, pushing Demon Suppressing Pass tens of thousands of miles towards the endless Great Wilderness, and finally becoming the Monster Extermination Army Commander.
“We greet Commander Song!”
Many Venerables paid their respects.
“Hmm!”
Song Que slightly nodded, standing with his hands behind his back, towering over the void above the Endless Battlefield, gazing at the Emperor Demon King from afar.
The most powerful beings from both sides, like gods, stood in the void.As their gazes locked, energy was drawn, laws interwoven, and rules emerged. Their overwhelming might and pressure collided, causing the void to surge with power.
“Emperor, it’s been a long time since our battle a hundred years ago. I thought you were dead.”
Every hundred years, the Demon Race would trigger a massive beast tide, and countless Heavenly Prides and powerful beings would emerge from the depths of the Great Wilderness.
A hundred years ago, Song Que had already become the Monster Extermination Army Commander. He fought against the Emperor Demon King, and their battle shook the heavens and shattered the earth, causing rivers to flow backward.
In that battle, Song Que’s Cave Heavens was as powerful as the sun, drawing seven golden bridges that nearly shattered the Emperor Demon King’s demon body.
It was only when a Monster Emperor personally intervened that the Emperor Demon King managed to survive.
“Hmph, Song Que. I have never forgotten the shame of a hundred years ago!”
The Emperor Demon King coldly snorted, his body surrounded by a swirling black aura, making the void hum.
“Hum!”
As his power burst out, the surrounding void exploded like a supernova, with fierce air currents burning and scorching everything.
Song Que took a step forward, his Cave Heavens violently shaking, and magnificent laws and World Power gush forth.
In an instant, two powerful forces collided, causing everyone present to feel the surrounding void tremble, and their breaths halted momentarily.
They were too powerful.
Indeed, these two were the strongest beings of the Human and Demon Races. They had not even directly confronted each other yet but still instilled a strong sense of oppression in others.
Lu Yun looked at the two confrontational figures in the void, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
“How powerful are they really, and how far am I from them after my breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm?”
Just as Lu Yun had this thought, the confrontation between Emperor Demon King and Song Que, the Monster Extermination Army Commander, came to an abrupt end.
“Song Que, let’s leave the battles to the younger generation since we can’t determine the winner in a short time!”
The Emperor Demon King withdrew his might and said coldly.
“Our Human Race Heavenly Prides are ready, but how many Heavenly Prides can your Demon Race find?”
Song Que spoke softly, his voice not loud but resonating in the void, echoing in the ears of humans and demons alike.
The Emperor Demon King coldly snorted, “Hmph, our Demon Race Heavenly Prides have never been inferior to your Human Race. If it weren’t for the agreement signed by our higher-ups, we would have broken through the Demon Suppressing Pass and flattened the Nine Provinces long ago.”
“Flatten the Nine Provinces? That’s a joke! If it weren’t for the fear of affecting the world, our Yuan Emperor alone would be enough to sweep away the entire Demon Race.”
When Song Que mentioned the Yuan Emperor, a trace of apprehension flashed in the Emperor Demon King’s eyes.
Song Que was right. Not to mention that the Yuan Emperor had reached a mysterious and unfathomable realm, but with the Supreme Daoist Device in his hands, even if several Demon Emperors joined forces, they might not be able to defeat him.
Moreover, the battles between the Demon Emperors and the Yuan Emperor would be destructive enough to annihilate the void and overturn the continent.
Such an outcome was unbearable for both the Human and Demon Races.
Their conversation was clearly heard by everyone present.
From it, they learned many shocking pieces of information.
First, there was more than one Demon Emperor.
Second, the Yuan Emperor could single-handedly engage in battle against numerous Demon Emperors.
Third, both sides had reasons not to take action.
“Tell me, how do you want this eight-round contest to begin?”
Song Que spoke indifferently. He knew that even if he had the power to kill the opponent, it wouldn’t succeed because the Demon Emperor wouldn’t let him.
“From weakest to strongest, your Human Race at the initial stage of the Rune Seed Realm and my Demon Race at the beginning of the Seventh Rank will go first.
In the end, your Human Race’s Golden Core Realm peak and my Demon Race’s Eighth Stage peak will go on.
There is no rest for the fighters until death occurs.
Ultimately, the side with more surviving fighters will be the winner.”
“Agreed.”
Song Que nodded in agreement.
Emperor Demon King smiled faintly, and then looked back, his gaze resting on the army of a million Demon Race.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
From the Demon Race’s grand army, eight beams of light shot up into the sky, appearing behind the Emperor Demon King.
The eight Demon Race Heavenly Prides, besides the two completely transformed to human form, the other six were half-human, half-beast.
However, each of them was incredibly powerful, bearing a boundless fighting spirit.
