Outside the Eternal Realm.
In the endless void between the realms and the Demon Plane.
Emperors from various realms gathered here, confronting the Realm Alliance’s emperors from afar, and the atmosphere was tense to the extre.
"Dragon Emperor, I didn’t expect you to co personally, it’s truly rare."
In the Realm Alliance, Mo Luo Emperor’s gaze was chilling, staring intently at the Dragon Emperor opposite him.
The two were the strongest of their respective realms and old rivals for thousands of years.
Now eting again, the atmosphere was explosive.
"Hmph! I haven’t settled the score from last ti, and now you pull off such a stunt again. What exactly is your aim?"
The Dragon Emperor spoke coldly, a faint intent to kill flickering in his golden eyes.
This ti, they had gathered over a thousand realms to act together, with emperors present almost twice the number of the whole Realm Alliance.
So they clearly held a stronger position and had absolute initiative.
But even so.
Mo Luo Emperor remained unfazed, showing no signs of being affected.
"Aim? What aim could I have? This is rely a skirmish among the lords below, nothing to do with . Or perhaps you’re planning to break the agreent we made back then?"
As he spoke, a cold glint flashed in his eyes without restraint.
Emperors from various realms saw this, and their faces all darkened.
Though they had the advantage in numbers, once they pushed the other side into a corner, who knows what they might do.
After all, this wasn’t like the previous Eternal Realm with only twenty or thirty emperors participating, but thousands of emperors.
If a fight did break out, it would be catastrophic, leading to the destruction of realms, benefiting no one on either side.
This was why they hadn’t acted yet.
Nonetheless, given their nurical advantage, the voice of authority naturally rested with them.
The Dragon Emperor snorted coldly and said, "Regardless of your aims, from today on, don’t think about stepping into the Demon Plane again. If found, don’t bla us for being unkind."
"You!"
Mo Luo Emperor’s eyes widened, seemingly about to spit fire.
However, before he could react, the Qianji Emperor had already stepped in front of him.
"Mo Luo, don’t be impulsive!"
An urgent whisper finally suppressed Mo Luo Emperor’s inner fury, his gaze coldly watching the Dragon Emperor and all the emperors beside him through the void.
He knew very well that this was the other emperors giving them an ultimatum, not sothing to take lightly.
If their people dared step into the Demon Plane, they would be attacked by the masses.
At that point, the opposition would have a justified reason, leaving other realms unable to say much, truly playing their cards well.
"Stick to the plan, let them have their mont for now."
With soundproofing thods, Qianji Emperor whispered a few words in Mo Luo Emperor’s ear.
The previously furious Mo Luo Emperor took a deep breath, fiercely glaring at the Dragon Emperor.
"Just wait, I’ll revenge this grudge soday!"
"I’ll be waiting."
The Dragon Emperor’s expression was indifferent.
"Let’s go!"
Disregarding them, Mo Luo snarled and tore through the space, disappearing from sight.
The emperors of the Realm Alliance behind him, also under Qianji Emperor’s signal, retreated and returned to their respective realms.
A confrontation on the brink of conflict finally ca to a temporary halt.
Once their presence was no longer felt, the Dragon Emperor turned to look at the other emperors beside him.
"Everyone, I must trouble you all to keep a close watch on the Demon Plane’s movents. If anything unusual is found, rember to notify everyone imdiately. We must stop the Realm Alliance from causing further trouble."
"Naturally."
"Rest assured, we will do our part as well."
"Count us in."
Those who had co were mostly from realms most hard by the Realm Alliance, so of course, they wouldn’t sit back and do nothing.
Moreover, the emperors of each realm were well acquainted with one another.
Once an emperor from the Realm Alliance appears in the Demon Plane, with their strength, they can certainly arrive in a short ti.
This fundantally prevented those guys from causing trouble again.
Just like that.
After lingering a little while longer, the emperors one by one left.
The representatives of the Primordial Realm, Dragon Abyss and Xiang Yue Emperors, also tore through space and returned to the Primordial Realm.
However, unlike the other emperors, the ticulous Xiang Yue Emperor at this mont still furrowed her brows, appearing deeply worried.
"What’s wrong?"
Dragon Abyss Emperor noticed her strangeness and couldn’t help asking.
"I’m also unsure." Xiang Yue Emperor sighed lightly, "I just feel that things aren’t that simple."
"Yes, the process was indeed a bit too smooth." Dragon Abyss Emperor nodded silently, "But with so many realms watching over them, they shouldn’t be able to stir much trouble."
"Let’s hope so."
Xiang Yue Emperor murmured softly, with a wave of her arm, she and Dragon Abyss Emperor vanished from the spot together.
The two were specifically responsible for coordinating realm contacts on the Primordial Continent, needing to relay this news back promptly, ensuring other emperors prepare in advance to guard against the Realm Alliance’s every move.
Fortunately for the Realm Alliance this ti, it brought about a rare unity among realm rulers, forming a temporary alliance.
As for whether this alliance would be longstanding, and whether those claiming neutrality were truly neutral, that remains unknown.
...
On the other side.
In the Demon Plane.
Having successfully seized the Origin Fruit, Lin You quickly escaped the range of the Ancient Origin Tree and arrived at the forest’s outskirts.
Just upon landing, he received a ssage from Yan Lie.
"Lin You, co quickly! We’ve discovered a D-level Tier Nine Lord Demon!"
D-level Lord Demon?
Seeing the popped-up ssage, Lin You paused in his steps.
Even though it’s also tier nine, the attributes of a D-level chaos demon only increase by 40%.
That is, attributing to about thirteen thousand on average.
With his current royal species and the boost from various aura effects, his attributes can basically reach nine thousand, and ordinary species also have more than eight thousand.
The burst of Barbaric Roar, combined with Yan Lie and Situ Jian, should have a great chance to make up for the four or five thousand attribute gap.
"Wait for , I’m on my way!"
Without hesitation, he imdiately sent a reply.
Then he changed direction and hurried towards the location Yan Lie sent.
Over twenty minutes later.
He arrived near a hidden cave and found Yan Lie and Situ Jian waiting nearby.
"How is it going over at the Ancient Origin Tree?"
Situ Jian asked in a low voice.
"Hm, it’s going well, is the lord demon you ntioned inside?"
Lin You didn’t ntion that he had snatched the Origin Fruit, but instead looked through the bushes toward the huge cave in the distance, about ten ters high.
"Yes, it’s inside, a serpent-type demon." Situ Jian nodded.
After speaking, he couldn’t help but glance at Yan Lie on the side: "It’s just that this guy ran around randomly, chasing a wild boar inside, and almost got swallowed whole."
"What do you an almost got eaten? That was because I wasn’t prepared!" Yan Lie corrected indignantly, "Besides, without , would we have found such a hidden place with a lord demon?"
"..."
To be fair, this guy always has great luck.
Like before in the Land of the Dead, he was the one who discovered the lord demon, not sure if it’s just fool’s luck or not.
As they were whispering, a sound suddenly ca from the cave in the distance, obscured by bushes.
A giant python as thick as three or four people combined slowly poked its head out of the cave, opening its huge bloody mouth, spitting out a pile of wild boar bones onto the ground outside.
"This thing can actually spit out bones?"
Yan Lie said in surprise, feeling a chill run down his spine.
Fortunately, it wasn’t him who got swallowed earlier.
With the giant python’s appearance, an attribute interface promptly appeared before their eyes.
[Na: Jade-Scaled Dragon Python (Lord)]
[Race: Wild Beast]
[Level: Tier Nine (D-level)]
[Power: 9200 ( 3680)]
[Constitution: 9400 ( 3760)]
[Agility: 8820 ( 3528)]
[Spirit: 8655 ( 3462)]
[Skills: Horizontal Sweep, Jade Scale Dragon Armor, Dragon Transformation]
[Chaos: All attributes increased by 40%]
[Introduction: Originally an ordinary giant python, due to so unknown reason, it activated the flood dragon bloodline within, gaining partial abilities of the dragon race, significantly enhancing its strength.]
Indeed, as Yan Lie said, it’s a D-level lord demon.
Moreover, it possesses dragon race bloodline, a dragon python.
Gray scale armor covers its entire body, not to ntion having two fierce dragon horns on its head, and a row of sharp dorsal fins extending backward.
It’s only a matter of ti before it evolves into a true flood dragon.
But what shocked Lin You the most was the introduction below, which was exactly like the lord Venus Flytrap he encountered earlier after advancing.
Could it be that this giant python evolved for the sa reason?
Before he could think more, a low shout from Situ Jian ca from the side.
"It’s coming, get ready."
The three of them had collaborated more than once.
They didn’t need to say much, just exchanged a glance and spread out with their respective species in three directions, hidden in the forest, patiently waiting.
Once the entire massive body of the Jade-Scaled Dragon Python left the cave and ca outside, the three imdiately wore solemn expressions.
"Move!"
Only hearing a loud shout from Yan Lie, leading the beastman legion to charge first, surrounding the Jade-Scaled Dragon Python.
Lin You and Situ Jian didn’t slow down either.
Amidst the buzzing of wing vibrations, countless insects and plants surged crazily, forming a pincer attack with Yan Lie’s beastman legion.
"Roar!!"
The Jade-Scaled Dragon Python, basking in the sun, found them, and roared angrily.
Its tail, covered in scales and spikes, swung with unmatched montum towards Yan Lie, who was at the forefront.
Wherever it passed, trees collapsed and explosions sounded.
It actually used the Horizontal Sweep skill right from the start!
"Roar!"
Lin You reacted swiftly, imdiately having Cyan Gang unleash the Barbaric Roar, a large swath of crimson light flaring, sharply enhancing the montum of the charging beastman legion.
Even so.
Yan Lie and his beastman species’ attributes were still far behind the Jade-Scaled Dragon Python.
If struck directly, he probably wouldn’t be able to withstand it, making Lin You and Situ Jian turn grim-faced.
Yet, what Lin You never expected was.
Just as he was about to activate the Guardian Barrier for range damage reduction, Yan Lie and his surrounding beastman legion suddenly howled towards the sky.
Their already extraordinarily robust bodies began to swell rapidly, muscles bulging high, transforming in the blink of an eye into humanoid beasts.
Beastification!
The exclusive skill of the Humanoid Type.
Capable of greatly enhancing attributes in a short ti.
Lin You was astonished.
He didn’t expect that after just a few days, Yan Lie had mastered such a powerful ability, and it was an extrely rare group beastification!
