Chapter 705: Chapter 364: The Second Dragon Elephant
This was a vast valley, but it exuded an abnormal dead silence.
The gray sky, the black earth, and the pits and craters that dotted the landscape like hollows.
Lu Yun glanced at the gray sky, which was covered with traces like a spiderweb, as if the void was on the verge of collapsing at any moment, and the air was filled with a disgusting gray breath, which must be demon qi.
Lu Yun frowned slightly as he gazed at the black earth, where the pits were also filled with thick demon qi, as if linked to the demon realm.
“Yin-Yang Grind World Fist!”
“Mystic Ice Spike Chain!”
…
In the distance, a series of light shouts came over, and Lu Yun followed, only to see a huge ice chain winding out from the depths of the void, sweeping across the demon den with astonishing cold power. Any demon beast entangled by it immediately lost its agility, becoming sluggish, before even the blood within its body became frozen.
Then a sword radiance burst forth, and those frozen demon beasts were slashed into pieces of ice crystals, scattered across the ground, dead beyond recognition.
Boom, boom, boom, more than a dozen demon beasts fell, completely lifeless.
Thump, thump, thump!
Boom, boom, boom!
Roaring sounds came from all sides, like tens of thousands of torrents rushing swiftly, like the continuous sound of muffled thunder, deafening.
A thought crossed his mind, and Jin Jikang turned his head to look, his face instantly tightening; the number of demon beasts in the demon nest far exceeded his expectations.
And according to Steward Ning Gu, who previously guarded the Longwu Continent, there are several Unity Realm level demon beasts born within the demon den.
The Unity Realm, equivalent to a Law Demon among the Outer Domain Demons; their demon kingdoms more stable and powerful, their physical bodies nearly indestructible, they are very tough to deal with.
If they were to be entangled with these demon beasts and exhaust too much energy, they would fear they couldn’t overcome those Law Demons, let alone destroying the Demon Pond and preventing the descent of the Heavenly Demon.
“Do not bother with these witless demon beasts; we’ll take care of them after we destroy the Demon Pond,” he said.
Jin Jikang led the people to carve a path through the demon beast army, heading towards the place where the demon qi was most concentrated.
Lu Yun followed, occasionally capturing a few demon beasts into the Hell Furnace, smelting them into essence to aid the Dragon Elephant in its metamorphosis.
After swallowing and refining a dozen or so demon beasts, the giant elephant finally transformed into a Dragon Elephant.
Just with the transformation of a single Dragon Elephant, Lu Yun’s strength increased by about a tenth.
“If ten thousand, or even eighty thousand giant elephants could all transform into Dragon Elephants…”
A hint of joy surfaced in the depths of Lu Yun’s eyes, as he anticipated even more the upper limits of the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength cultivation technique.
“Humph, it seems the Human Race has not learned their lesson from the last time, daring to strike at the demon den again; this time, they must be utterly defeated,” a demon, who carried wings on his back and had the mouth of a thunder god, peered down at Lu Yun and the others battling the demon beast army from atop a distant mountain.
Beside him stood several similarly menacing demons, all with a pair of wings and enshrouded in dense magic power.
One of the female demons frowned slightly, “Balu, these humans seem much stronger than the ones who came last time; we need to be cautious and not let them interfere with Hagen’s arrival.”
The thunder-mouthed Balu said indifferently, “Dai Yisi, you worry too much. With so many demon beast armies and the five of us as Law Demons, plus more than a dozen peak Earth Demons in the Unity Realm, these humans can’t make a splash.”
“Balu is right. The weakest among us is a Unity Realm Earth Demon, and with the five Law Demons present, there is absolutely no chance for these humans to turn the tables,” another demon added.
“Moreover, Pei En is anchoring the Demon Pond; nothing unexpected will happen.”
Dai Yisi said coldly, “I stand by what I said, let’s go together with these failed converts, these scattered demons, and take down these humans all at once. Put them in the Demon Pond so that Hagen can arrive sooner.”
“Only with the arrival of Hagen can we avoid other unforeseen circumstances.”
At the mention of Hagen, reverence and fear flickered in Balu’s eyes.
The Demon Clan was divided into Scattered Demon, Earth Demon, Law Demon, True Demon, Primordial Demon, Heavenly Demon, Demon King, Sovereign Demon, and Demon God.
And Hagen was a bona fide Heavenly Demon and the creator of their kind. Everything they were doing was in anticipation of Hagen’s arrival in this world.
If he were to delay Hagen’s great plans, the consequences were not something he could bear.
However, he was not eager to engage in a fierce battle with these human powerhouses immediately. Who knew the extent of these humans’ power? Without certain assurance, he didn’t want to make a move personally; he was very fond of his own life.
“Let the demon beast army whittle them down a bit longer before we take action.” After a brief silence, he finally spoke slowly, his tone brooking no argument.
This time, Dai Yisi did not speak again; Balu’s decision was just what she wanted. She was loyal to Hagen but was equally fond of her own life.
It was indeed the best choice to let these failed transformed scattered demons test the strength of the humans first.
“Yin-Yang Grind World Fist!”
“Blood Light Moon Slash!”
“Golden Finger Sky-Striking Kill!”
“Wildfire Spear Technique!”
Divine abilities unfolded, spirit weapons ran rampant, and one demon beast after another fell.
The disciples of Green Fire Palace, aside from the Elite Disciple Jin Jikang, were at least on the sixth level of the Heavenly Human Realm, possessing powerful divine abilities and spirit weapons. Unleashing their full power, they were terribly strong; demon beasts fell one after another.
These were all failed transformation demon beasts. Although they were strong and vibrant, they had no demon kingdoms, and their recovery abilities were nowhere near as terrifying as those of Earth Demons; once slain, it was difficult for them to revive.
