"What?"
"He actually crushed Chong Yue’s Demon Treasure head-on! This human is so strong!"
"..."
The several True Demons watching from a distance were utterly horrified, finding it hard to believe.
The Ancient Bell Chong Yue used was no Demon Emperor’s artifact, but it was still an incredibly powerful Demon Treasure with astonishing defenses. Having been nurtured for years by Chong Yue’s True Demon Bloodline, it had beco exceptionally formidable.
No one expected Wang Xiu to destroy it in such a direct manner. His combat prowess was terrifying!
"The Saint Heir is mighty!"
"The Sanqing Saint Heir truly lives up to his reputation!"
Even as the human cultivators battled fiercely with the Demon Race, they couldn’t help but steal glances at the duel. It was too astonishing—the very picture of invincibility! Such a powerful True Demon seed so insignificant before the Sanqing Saint Heir.
"Hahaha! Go on, Big Bro, smash them to bits! What’s so great about True Demons?" Zhang Yuge yelled from afar, watching with excitent. Seeing Wang Xiu so invincible seed to thrill him even more than if he were the one in the spotlight.
"Fine. I underestimated you!" Chong Yue wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stared intently at Wang Xiu. He took a few deep breaths before continuing, "But you don’t actually think you’ve won, do you? If so, I can only say... you’re too naive! Everything until now was just a warm-up!"
[Ding!]
[Detected soone nearby boasting. Congratulations, Host, for gaining Mana 666!]
Hearing the system notification, Wang Xiu’s eyes lit up.
What a guy. If only all the demons here spouted as much nonsense as this True Demon, how great would that be?
BOOM!
The Demon Patterns on Chong Yue’s forehead blazed with a dazzling splendor, like a brilliant sun enveloping his entire body in light. He ford a strange seal with his hands and muttered into the void.
Instantly, waves of demonic sound swelled and echoed from all directions, unsettling the hearts of all who heard it. A mysterious and ancient aura erupted from his body, as if tracing back to a long-forgotten era.
"Is this..."
From afar, the expressions of the observing True Demons changed. They stared with grave intensity, their breathing growing rapid.
Could it be that Divine Skill?
HISS!
In the void, a group of the Demon Race’s most powerful experts drew a sharp breath. They turned to the Sugu Demon Emperor, exclaiming, "He’s already capable of this?"
The Sugu Demon Emperor’s voice was indifferent, yet a hint of pride was still audible. "Chong Yue is exceptionally talented. The concentration of his bloodline is even greater than mine was at his age. Reaching this step is nothing special..."
「Outside Demon Sea Island, atop Zhenmo City.」
The human experts were also watching this battle, their expressions a mixture of surprise and fear.
"Could it be—Trace Ancient Spirit Invocation?"
Trace Ancient Spirit Invocation was the innate Divine Skill of the Sugu Clan. However, not every clan mber could perform it, as it required an extrely high concentration of their bloodline. An inheritor capable of it might not appear for thousands or even tens of thousands of years! The most terrifying aspect of this Divine Skill was its ability to summon the remnant shadows of ancient beings from the endless river of ti to fight for the caster. The stronger the user, the higher the rank of the ancient entity they could summon. This was what made the Sugu Clan so formidable.
ROAR—
A deafening roar echoed through the void. A figure large enough to blot out the sky, radiating spiritual light, stepped out from behind Chong Yue, emitting an unimaginably terrifying aura. It resembled a badger and was covered in armor that radiated a dark light. Its eyes were like the descending night, flashing with a bloody brilliance. An overwhelming ferocity billowed from it, making it seem like a malevolent spirit crawling out of hell.
It was a Tao Wu!
"A pureblood Tao Wu! To think he actually summoned a pureblood Tao Wu!"
"That’s one of the most notorious Fierce Beasts of primordial tis, more fearso than many Divine Beasts!"
"This Chong Yue is incredible! The Sugu Clan is truly one of the most powerful ancient True Demon clans..."
Countless onlookers gasped, their faces paling.
"Hehe, are you afraid now? You humans will never understand what true power is. How can a bunch of frogs in a well hope to glimpse the heavens? I was just playing around before. The real battle starts now!"
[Ding!]
[Detected soone nearby boasting. Congratulations, Host, for gaining Mana 666!]
Chong Yue stood arrogantly with his chest puffed out, thoroughly enjoying the astonished gazes from the crowd.
A Fierce Beast...
Wang Xiu’s eyes narrowed slightly. He kicked the Disaster Brood’s rear and said, "Yan Ji, go give it a try!"
"WOOF! Yan Ji at your command!"
The Disaster Brood’s eyes shone as it transford into a streak of heavenly fire, charging forward and leaving a spectacular rainbow in its wake. Wang Xiu had been nurturing it daily with the Fire of Candleholder. As a result, the Disaster Brood’s growth was incredibly fast, and its power was already comparable to an expert at the Ergence Stage. Such was the growth rate of a Divine Beast. Of course, this was also thanks to the Fire of Candleholder, which surpassed many of the world’s spiritual flas.
The Disaster Brood clashed with the remnant of the Tao Wu. Battle aura surged through the void, creating a magnificent spectacle like clashing rivers of stars. The Disaster Brood was a true Pureblood Divine Beast, a creature of flesh and blood, brimming with vital essence. Though the Tao Wu was strong, it was ultimately just a remnant shadow. Yan Ji suppressed it almost imdiately, putting it at a disadvantage from the start.
"Is that... the Divine Beast Disaster Brood?"
Chong Yue’s face turned foul, as if he’d just swallowed shit. His boast was only half-finished before he was figuratively slapped in the face, the sound echoing for all to hear.
"Continue?" Wang Xiu taunted, eager to hear more of the demon’s nonsense.
This was certainly taken as a provocation. Chong Yue gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with fury. "Insolent fool! Do you think this is my limit? I am the most talented mber of the Sugu Clan in ten thousand years! I have no limits!"
[Ding!]
