A group of demons gradually retreated, even faster than they had arrived to attack, having a somewhat frantic fleeing feeling. Especially the demons outside Sky Dome City and Earth Flame City, most of them were terrified. If not for the Barbarian Emperor blocking Chen Yi’s sword just now, there would definitely not be so many demons left; at least thirty percent of the demons would have become corpses. In contrast, the demon army led by Lu Chen, attacking from Human Extreme City towards Sky Dome City, suffered few casualties. Moreover, those Human Race soldiers who were initially swept away were now taken by the demons, engulfed by the torrent-like demon army. The Eagle Demon burned with anger, its wings trembled, enveloping and taking away the corpses of several Great Demon Kings. "Azure Dragon Sword Immortal, next time I meet you, I will kill you for sure!" "I’ll give you the same promise, next time we meet, I’ll slaughter you!" "Good, very good! Chen Yi, I await your arrival!" The Eagle Demon screeched fiercely, flapping its wings as it flew back to the Demon Court, while the surrounding demon army likewise disappeared into the thick forest. And the dark cloud formed by the Barbarian Emperor dissipated slowly after scanning the area. Once they completely disappeared, Chen Yi remained vigilant, enveloping the area controlled by the Demon Court with Sword Intent, occasionally slashing out a ray of Sword Intent. Silver light cut through the sky like a streak, slashing through the area covered by the Demon Court’s array, opening up a bright path. Occasionally, it would kill a few demons hiding, stunned and dying on the spot. Initially, the Eagle Demon, Shadow Demon, and other Great Demon Kings of the Eighth Divine Power Realm would curse Chen Yi from afar. But not long after, perhaps scared by the killings, the demons retreated willingly to the rear of the Demon Court. Thus, the dense forest covered by the Demon Court’s array was exposed again. Only then did Chen Yi sheath his sword, let Xiao Qing transform into a bracelet worn on his wrist, and put the Dragon Taming Saddle into the Sumeru Bag. This battle seemed long, but actually, it lasted no more than the time for an incense stick to burn from him blocking the attack. However, his action played a crucial role — when the majority of the Human Race’s Great Powers were pinned down by the Demon Court’s Great Demon Kings, he single-handedly resolved crises in ten cities, including Sky Dome City, Youdu, and Fengdu City. Not only rescuing the abducted Human Race soldiers but also slaughtering tens of thousands of demons and dozens of Demon Kings. It was terrifying indeed. No wonder that after the Barbarian Emperor appeared, he openly recruited Chen Yi in front of several Human Race ancestors and Great Powers, even using a counterintelligence plot at the end. "We’re saved, I... I almost didn’t make it back this time." "Be thankful, be thankful that Azure Dragon Sword Immortal exited seclusion in time; otherwise, we would truly have been taken to the Demon Court, where even dying would be difficult." "It was indeed thrilling earlier; who would have thought that after lying low for so long, the Demon Court would attack in droves today amid the snow, catching many soldiers on the city walls off guard and killed." "Ah... this battle was truly stifling, the frontier posts were taken, leaving us blind." Read full story at novel·fire·net "Yes, if not for Azure Dragon Sword Immortal’s intervention, reversing the situation, our Human Race would have suffered heavy losses; now, we owe the great victory to him." "No wonder he accomplished a great feat in Human Extreme City before, with such terrifying Sword Dao and support from the Azure Dragon Divine Beast, the might of his Sword Dao far surpasses ordinary Great Powers of the Sixth Divine Power Realm, not even the Eagle Demon of the Eight Divine Power Realm — one of the Twelve Pillars of the Demon Court — could gain advantage against him." While the Human Race in various strong cities and garrison cities rejoiced at their survival, the ancestors and numerous Great Powers of the Divine Power Realm were not as relaxed, still looking solemn. For no other reason — the news of another Demon Emperor emerging from the Demon Court left them astounded. Even a few ancestors remained unsettled after seeing the Barbarian Emperor’s appearance, let alone others. "Bai Shan, do you know the origin of the Barbarian Emperor?" Hong Tian, watching Lu Chen leave with a significant number of Human Race soldiers, looked incredibly displeased, but after ordering others to clean the battlefield, his main concern was still the Barbarian Emperor. White Mountain Ancestor, with hands behind his back, stood silently in mid-air, staring at the Demon Court, his not-so-old face full of wrinkles, and transmitted to several ancestors: "Aside from the stationed generals, summon all cultivators above the Five Divine Power Realms to Sky Dome City, I have something to say." "Indeed, we should discuss strategies; what concerns me most now is whether the Fengyue Demon Emperor and the Barbarian Emperor belong to the same lineage or if they are... hostile." "That can be discussed later; we just need to send someone to the Ten Thousand Mountains to inquire about the Fengyue Demon Emperor for clarity." While White Mountain Ancestor was gathering many Great Powers to Sky Dome City, Chen Yi still stood silently on the outer wall of Youdu City. Just as he had speculated earlier — the Barbarian Emperor had obtained the Ancient Demon Court’s heritage and was aware of the Ancient Daoist Court’s power struggle, otherwise he wouldn’t be interested in him. To be precise — the Barbarian Emperor was certain that he had obtained the Ancient Daoist Court’s heritage. But in reality, Chen Yi at most counts as a reserve for the Ancient Daoist Court, having not received a complete heritage, and is quite unaware of the Ancient Daoist power struggle and ancient matters. He only knows that three ancient heritages have emerged — Dao Court, Spirit Mountain, and Demon Court. There should be other heritages, only he hasn’t encountered them, unclear about the characteristics of these heritages.
