Chapter 110
by 缘何故Chapter 110: The Demon King Emerges
The other pedestrians in the town also heard the barefoot victim's cries. Recalling the news they had seen, they immediately became wary, clutched their wallets protectively, and kept their distance from the strangely dressed gang on the street.
Annoyance Demon: "…"
The other Demons behind him, who were also receiving similar disdainful looks: "…"
This wasn't quite the reception they had expected. The younger, less experienced Demons had their worldview shattered. After a long moment, one of them stammered, "Your Highness Annoyance Demon, are you alright?"
Annoyance Demon numbly raised a hand to touch his head, where he felt a large shoe print on his antenna and cheek.
Looking down, he saw the offending human shoe lying quietly at his feet.
Infuriated, he kicked the shoe away, "Daredevils, humans!!"
Not even the celestial beings of the Heavenly Court would dare to treat him with such disrespect. How could such weak creatures defy the mighty Demon King? Did they not want to live anymore?!
One of his minions, sensing his master's anger, eagerly suggested, "Your Highness! How dare these insignificant humans show you disrespect! Slaughter them all! Destroy their gathering places!"
Tormented Demon listened with great interest, but after a moment, he still raised his hand with a grim expression, signaling him to stop: "No, we shouldn't provoke the Heavenly Dao lightly before finding the Demon King."
Though the Heavenly Dao had collapsed, a small portion still upheld the world. Causing destruction in a human settlement would invite heavenly bolts that they couldn't easily withstand. Apart from the Heavenly Dao, there seemed to be perilous auras lingering near the mortal kingdom's capital, which was why they detoured through the mountains and forests to avoid potential adversaries. The search for the Demon King was crucial to the entire Demon World; before success, causing a commotion in human settlements was tolerable, but being detected by these rivals might lead to unwanted complications.
However, as rational as he was, Tormented Demon still felt deeply aggrieved. As one of the Four Great Demons of the Demon World, he was an entity that all demons revered. Never did he imagine being humiliated by humans in this way.
Recalling the treatment he had just received, doubt flickered in his eyes. Could it be that the Demon World's prolonged absence from the mortal realm had truly diminished its intimidatory power?
The other Demon Roars behind him shared similar uncertainties.
"Why is it that humans aren't supposed to fear Asuras?"
Seeing this, the confidant immediately calmed the troops: "Don't let your minds wander! Human lives are short, and they're ignorant and fearless. We haven't shown our power to make them feel the threat of death; it's only natural that they don't know how formidable we are. Besides, have you forgotten the fear we sowed on our way to the capital? That person just now was clearly an exception! Young humans are physically strong and might easily be overconfident."
Before he could finish his sentence, they heard a frail old lady spitting from a distance by the roadside with disdain:
"Pah! So young and healthy, able to jump high and run far – there's nothing they can't do. They could sweep streets to support themselves but insist on breaking the law and causing trouble for the country!"
She had read the WeChat Moments article titled "Shocking! You Must Read This! The Surprising Truth Behind Ghost Encounters Across the Country!" and, as a modern senior who didn't believe in folklore, she promptly shared it in twenty-seven square dance group chats.
However, the elderly lady was quite aware of self-preservation. The WeChat article had described the criminal gang as utterly deranged and mentally unstable, likely to speak in bizarre, incomprehensible ways. Therefore, it advised ordinary citizens against direct confrontation with them. Upon this thought, she spat in disdain and hurriedly leaned on her walker, swaying away.
Sighing inwardly, the Troubling Demon gazed at the frail old woman's departing figure: "..."
A nearby Annoyance Demon's confidant: "..."
Other demons: "..."
Before they could react, a piercing siren abruptly echoed in their ears, dop-a-dop-a-dop-a-dop, as a swarm of police cars rushed over. People along the streets threw open their windows, shouting at the patrol cars, "You're finally here!! I was the one who called the police!! They haven't escaped yet!! Arrest them quickly!"
From the police car, an amplifying speaker extended out, broadcasting – "Attention to those ahead, you are surrounded."
Many Mo Luo beings: "..."
It was utterly outrageous... Aggravated by the annoyance, the Disturbing Demon's rage shook its entire being. These insignificant humans dared... dared...!
He was so enraged that he almost wished to crush the entire town with a single sweep of his hand. Then, his trusted aide by his side spoke up, "Your Highness, you can't kill. If you do, your actions will be exposed by the Heavenly Dao!"
Indeed! The Troubling Demon suddenly remembered that he had important business to attend to.
In the police car trailing behind, the officers initially felt apprehensive about encountering violent resistance from the gang of tall and numerous criminals. To their surprise, the crowd of unidentified individuals outside didn't even confront them but instead immediately turned and fled.
These people ran incredibly fast, like rockets ignited by the slightest bend of their knees, vanishing into the distance in the blink of an eye, leaving only a faint trail behind.
The officers stared in disbelief. Were these really thieves? They seemed more like a pack of wild dogs!
As Nigredo ran, he glared back at the police car with seething resentment, revealing a malicious grin—
If it weren't for the need to conceal our tracks, why would we tolerate such humiliation? Just wait, when we find the Dark King and unite the world, your insignificant ants will meet your end.
*****
At Wu Hua, the locals, plagued by drought, were still reveling in the joy of rain.
The parched earth was gradually rejuvenated, and near-dead plants regained vitality amidst the cheers. Unbeknownst to them, a looming crisis (or so it seemed) was drawing near.
On the phone, Xia Shouren sounded extremely anxious, "We expected them to come to the capital, and both our company and the city government had emergency meetings to prepare. But they suddenly changed course at the last minute, throwing our plans into chaos. What on earth do they intend to do?!"
Shuo Zong glanced at Wei Xi, who was still engaging in friendly negotiations with Wu Hua's leaders regarding the rainwater fee. He asked gravely, "Save the pointless talk. Ignore what they want to do; just focus on preparing for battle. Where are they now?"
"The crucial point is that I simply don't know!" Xia Shouren said. "You know very well that after the collapse of Heavenly Dao, my perception has weakened significantly. The Demon World is adept at concealing their auras, so it was only when they approached the capital in large numbers that I could vaguely sense something. Now that they've moved farther away, I can't sense anything at all!"
Bo Xun's capabilities in the Demon World were well-known to Shuo Zong. Thousands of years ago, Bo Xun had attempted to hinder Sakyamuni from entering Nirvana but, having failed, he must have been discontented, as he began targeting the Western Heavenly Realm, causing trouble just for the sake of it. Occasionally, he would appear to persuade Arhats to join him in the Demon World for some revelry. Some low-level Arhats almost lost control under his persuasion, suffering greatly. Naturally, the Heavenly Realm wanted to stop him, so thousands of deities and buddhas kept a close eye on the Demon World's every move, even strengthening the barriers in the outer heavens specifically to detect any demonic auras. Yet, despite all this, Bo Xun could still freely come and go as he pleased.
Now, in the mortal world...
Shuo Zong fell silent. Suddenly, he heard Tuan Jieyi exclaim in alarm, "What? Master, that group of demons has been spotted again!"
Shuo Zong: "? ?"
Putting down his phone, he walked over to the pair of master and disciple and looked down to see a WeChat Moments post:
**Share this! A notorious criminal gang was just spotted in Rongyan Town. The local police failed to apprehend them, and a resident has lost one crocodile-embossed clog!**
**Let's work together! The bag thief has left Rongyan Town and entered Yongfeng Mountain. Everyone, lock your doors and windows!**
**Fellow residents of Wenxuan County! Suspicious tracks have been found on the mountain path. Please keep an eye on the winter cured meats hanging in your yards!**
One after another, there were a dozen or so reminders from residents of towns along the way, exposing Mo Luo's movements with crystal clarity.
Shuo Zong: "..."
Wei Xi furrowed his brows: "Crocs clogs?"
"It's just a brand of slippers," Unity Right said, suddenly realizing that the topic had veered off course. He quickly redirected their conversation, pointing at the name of Wenhuan County at the bottom of the list. "No, wait, Master, look! This is the county we passed by when we first left the capital! It seems to be somewhere southeast of our current location."
Wei Xi: "Very close to us?"
United Righteousness: "It doesn't seem too far, does it? Hold on, there's a new article link popping up!"
Shuo Zong: "..."
Xia Shouren heard a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before his friend suddenly said, "I'll hang up first."
Xia Shouren: "?????? I haven't come up with a solution yet!!"
Shuo Zong: "What use can you possibly be?"
Xia Shouren: "..."
Xia Shouren, filled with resentment, grumbled to his equally frustrated colleagues after the call was abruptly ended, "That old beast is too harsh on me, isn't he? It's not abnormal for me to be helpless when even the entire Heavenly Court can't accomplish it, right? Yet he shamelessly insults me without any reason!"
Everyone comforted him empathetically. After a moment, Ning Tian's group chat suddenly lit up. As they picked up their phones, they saw their leader spamming more than a dozen links without saying a word.
Upon reading the content, the group chat was filled with ellipses. Outside the chat, a group of people silently looked at Xia Shouren.
Xia Shouren: "..............."
Bi Fang pondered for a moment and said, "Well, it's not entirely your fault. After all, it's a country with a population of over 1.3 billion..."
Xia Shouren: "Don't say anything. I just want some peace."
**********
At the Shuo Zong, Wei Xi watched as Mo Luo stared at his phone in silence for a moment before speaking, "Stay here. I'll be away for a bit. I'll be back soon."
Wei Xi asked, "Where are you going? Are you going to catch those Mo Luo? I'm coming with you!"
Their second disciple looked down at him and said, "There's no reward for this task."
Wei Xi replied without hesitation, "So what?"
The second disciple's expression softened even more. He reached out to touch Wei Xi's neck gently but firmly, saying, "Nothing much. Just wait here obediently."
In response, a trace of unwillingness flickered in Wei Xi's eyes. There was so much meat...
Shuo Zong sighed inwardly. Indeed, Wei Xi was different now that he had become a sacred beast. For the sake of protecting the world, he was even willing to do something without any reward.
Shuo Zong was naturally pleased with this, but Mo Luo was too dangerous. Moreover, Wei Xi was currently in a human body with limited abilities. It would be best not to risk his life.
**********
The fleeing demons were somewhat dejected. It was hard for them to accept that they had been pushed to such an extent by a group of mortals.
Furthermore, the feedback they received from the humans fell short of their expectations, leaving many of them feeling frustrated. "Your Highness, humans are too despicable. Once we have welcomed back His Majesty and unified the world, we must make them pay for their disrespect today!"
A troubled demon wiped the shoe print on its face coldly, "Of course."
One of the demons nearby asked, "Your Highness, are we still far from becoming the Demon King?"
With his eyes closed, Agonizing Demon took a deep breath of the sky and said, "The Asura Bird told me it's right ahead."
The Mo Luo immediately cheered up and were about to shout in excitement when Agonizing Demon opened his eyes and glared fiercely at them. "Silence! Apart from the Devil King's aura, I sense other ominous presences!"
His confidant asked cautiously, "Could we have been exposed?"
After a moment of contemplation, Agonizing Demon raised his arm and instructed his subordinates, "Conceal your auras, walk cautiously, and preferably don't even harm any snakes, insects, rats, or ants to avoid provoking Heavenly Dao."
The Mo Luo obeyed the order in unison, proceeding even more cautiously. One of them caught sight of a few pedestrians in the distance, seemingly having noticed them, and bared its fangs menacingly.
"Your Highness, what should we do with these humans?"
Agonizing Demon glanced at the crowd. There was no trace of fear coming from them; instead, they were saying things he couldn't understand—
"I can't believe it, they're already here so soon!"
"Quick, post it on our social circle!"
—such remarks.
However, no one dared to directly attack him anymore.
Seeing the humans' caution, the Worry Demon harrumphed in disdain. "They're just weak humans. What can they do? There's nothing to fear. Ignore them. Right now, our priority is to conceal our tracks and catch our opponent off guard! As long as we don't make mistakes, no one will be able to track us!"
With a few leaps, he landed right in the ambush circle that had been waiting for him.
The Mo Luo demons: "…."
The numerous divine beasts who had arrived early and were so idle they almost started digging their claws into the ground: "…"
Xia Shouren had already sensed their presence, so he wasn't too surprised. He stood up and said, "You've finally arrived."
The Worry Demon immediately recognized him and was shocked. "It's you! We didn't disturb the Heavenly Dao! How did you find us?!"
Xia Shouren: "…."
Bifang, holding his phone, was about to cry. Life in modern society was tough. Back then, the Mo Luo demons, who even the Eastern and Western Heavenly Realms couldn't subdue, were finally suffering the consequences of their lack of knowledge.
*********
Yet, the Distress Demon showed no intention of waiting for an answer. Knowing that these opponents must possess some secret techniques, they wouldn't divulge such information easily.
Thus, he glared at Xia Shouren with resentment, "I never expected that after thousands of years, despite the collapse of the Heavenly Dao, your sensing abilities remain entirely unaffected."
Xia Shouren replied, "…No, actually, I'm quite affected."
The Distress Demon became wary, "No! You don't need to explain! To have developed a method specifically to track the Demon World's aura, you truly live up to being one of the first blessed beasts since the beginning of time!"
Xia Shouren: "…"
Xia Shouren's face turned ashen from the unexpected praise.
Shuo Zong paid no attention to their inexplicable conversation. He glanced at the Mo Luo demons and sternly said, "Have you still not found Bo Xun?"
The Distress Demon stared at him coldly.
Shuo Zong slowly drew the Godslayer Whip from his waist, "Scram back to the Demon World now, abandon your search for Bo Xun, and I'll let bygones be bygones."
When it came to combat, Distress Demon was indeed no match for him. Fear immediately filled its eyes, but it still gritted its teeth and persisted, "Heaven's Law has collapsed, and the human world no longer needs deities. What exactly are you still persisting in defending? Celestial Blessing Deity, the Heavenly Court is already gone. With your abilities, if you're willing to help us locate His Majesty and form an alliance, what can't you obtain in the future? Why suffer conflict with the Demon World over those insignificant humans?"
Shuo Zong ignored its words, fully drawing out his whip. The uneven surface of the God-Slaying Whip exuded an ominous aura amidst the stagnant atmosphere, making Distress Demon's face turn ashen as it took a few steps back. "What do you mean by this?"
Shuo Zong examined the whip calmly and said, "I've heard that Asura Dao was born from the world's desires and vices, invincible and undying. I wonder if encountering this whip will be an exception."
Distress Demon stared at his movements intently, then suddenly bared its blood-filled jaws and cackled wildly, "Celestial Blessing Deity, aren't you afraid that we'll take action against the surrounding humans if you stand in our way?"
Shuo Zong seemed unconcerned. "With Heaven's Law still in place, if you attack humans, don't you care about your own lives?"
Tormented Demon's face darkened gradually. "When it comes to a life-or-death situation, who would bother with so many considerations! Besides, do you really think we're foolish enough to act ourselves?"
Xia Shouren, sensing something amiss, asked, "What are you implying?"
Tormented Demon revealed a malevolent expression. "Why don't you guess what my trump card is against the Heavenly Dao?"
Xia Shouren's heart raced. After watching too many movies, such villainous declarations always gave him an ominous feeling. Recalling the disaster films he had seen recently, he murmured, "The hell... You didn't go and make nuclear weapons, did you?"
Everyone was shocked upon hearing this, even Shuo Zong's brows knitted deeply.
Given Asura Dao's previous reckless and uninhibited behavior, they indeed seemed like the type to act without considering the consequences.
Annoyed Devil paused for a moment, not quite grasping the term he mentioned, but sensing the others' guarded stance, he immediately chuckled satisfactorily, "Surprised, aren't you? It was the Astral Deity!"
The rivals: "...."
Oh, well, that's a relief.
************
Perplexed Demon: "?"
What kind of reaction is this? Star Descendant possesses divine bones blessed by the Heavenly Dao. Even if he were to fall into the Realm of Asuras and commit evil, the Heavenly Dao would treat him with extraordinary leniency. Why do these opponents seem utterly unconcerned?
Not only were they unconcerned, Xia Shouren even patted his chest. "I forgot that you guys probably don't even know how to use a smartphone. I was overthinking it just now. Go on with what you were saying; it's no big deal."
As long as it wasn't a nuclear bomb, everything could be negotiated. A Star Descendant wasn't that terrifying after all.
Perplexed Demon: "..."
Tormented Demon felt somewhat displeased, sensing that he was being underestimated. For a moment, his villainous aura wavered before he barely managed to regain his composure: "Actually, we didn't want to summon the Constellations unless it was absolutely necessary. You forced our hand!"
Shuo Zong asked calmly, "Are you referring to Master Wind and Master Rain?"
"Turns out Tian Lu God has already met them?" Tormented Demon laughed. "Did you engage in combat? Have their powers remained as potent as before?"
Shuo Zong sneered. "Not only have they retained their power, but they've continued to learn and expand their expertise over the years."
They were even better at mycology than rain-making.
Something about Shuo Zong's tone struck Tormented Demon as odd, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was off. Assuming it was because Shuo Zong looked down on Master Wind and Master Rain's abilities, he sneered. "Unfortunately, the Constellations I'm talking about aren't them!"
With that, he raised his hand and tore through space.
From the dark fissure emerged a constellation shrouded in black mist. Looking up at the auspicious beasts, he wore an expression that was both sorrowful and joyful: "Long time no see."
Upon seeing him, the herd of beasts stirred. Shuo Zong sternly called out his name: "Plague God."
Plague God, a deity with the ability to spread and control plagues, was a rather unique entity. He hadn't appeared for a long time before the collapse of Heavenly Law, yet it seemed he had gone to the Asura World.
The Plague God curled his lips, but there was no amusement in his eyes as he surveyed the surrounding forest. "Actually, what pleasure is there in being a god like me? Back when you all enjoyed offerings, I protected humanity from plagues, yet they constantly guarded against and expelled me. Now that I've awakened, there's not even anyone left to expel me. In my opinion, Mo Luo's identity suits me better."
Shuo Zong asked, "So your appearance this time is because you believe you can conquer the human world for the Asura World?"
A grotesque expression slowly appeared on the Plague God's face. "Is that not allowed? As the God of Plagues, I can effortlessly destroy a city with a snap of my fingers. If you're wise, you'll leave immediately, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Shuo Zong didn't reply but instead pondered, "Have you never left the Demon World since you woke up?"
The Plague God hesitated at the question. "So what if I haven't?"
At this point, not only Shuo Zong but also Ning Tian's other divine beasts showed him pity.
This Plague God seemed unaware of how advanced human medicine had become.
Seeing their expressions, the Plague God's face flushed with anger. "Do you think I'm weak?!"
Xia Shouren and his colleagues hurriedly said, "No, not at all."
But their faces clearly read, "We indeed don't take you seriously."
Plague God: "???"
Infuriated, the Plague God waved his hand and exclaimed, "Is that so? Then let me show you my true power!"
As he waved, he gave a subtle signal to the Tormentor Demon.
He had just awakened from slumber and, after the collapse of Heavenly Dao, his strength had significantly diminished. The plague he unleashed was merely one of his most common minor plagues in the past. Back then, it would have been enough to spark a major epidemic in an entire country if it possessed three or five people.
The Plague God assumed that this group of auspicious beasts would at least engage him in battle for the sake of humanity, giving the Tormentor Demon a chance to lead the people away.
To his surprise, the Tormentor Demon was already prepared to escape amidst the chaos, but the group of auspicious beasts ahead remained immobile, steadfastly blocking their path.
Startled, the Plague God accused them in disbelief, "Aren't you auspicious beasts? How can you disregard human lives just to stop an Asura?"
Xia Shouren: "…Do you want to know why humans expelled you before but now don't even mention your name?"
Plague God: "…Why?"
Feeling a twinge of guilt, Xia Shouren summoned a water mirror with a wave of his hand, "Look for yourself."
In the watery mirror, the reflection revealed the residents of the town below the mountain. The plague god's disease took effect swiftly; one by one, those it touched began to sneeze uncontrollably.
In the past, anyone realizing they might be ill would have been utterly terrified.
But in the mirror, these people, upon sneezing, merely rubbed their noses with remarkable calmness.
They entered an odd house in succession and started narrating their symptoms to someone dressed in white across from them. After an examination, this person announced, "Seasonal flu, not too severe. You've had a vaccine before, right? Oh, you have. Then there's nothing to worry about. Keep warm, wear a mask, I'll prescribe some medicine for you. If you're still concerned, you can stay in the hospital for a few days to avoid spreading it."
Promptly, these chosen ones by the plague god put on masks. The deity waited for ages but failed to witness them infecting another person.
There was no panic, no screams – everything unfolded with remarkable order. The plague god stood stunned. "Humans... have they actually ceased to fear me, forgetting me altogether?"
Xia Shouren looked at him with pity. "You've been away from the world for too long. Diseases like chickenpox and common cold, which used to be your domain, are no longer effective. Science has long found countermeasures against them. Now, they fear modern plagues from abroad, but you lack the means to combat those. Who can you blame for being forgotten when you fail to advance with the times?"
The plague god was deeply shaken, staggering a few steps before collapsing.
"I... I, the mighty Plague God, have been left behind by the times... all because my techniques are outdated..."
***************
Mo Luo: "..."
What was going on?
Was this plague deity still capable?
Perplexed, the Troubling Demon hesitated before calling out to him, "You..."
The plague deity ignored him entirely, his gaze fixed on Xia Shouren. "New epidemic from afar, what are you!"
Xia Shouren enumerated on his fingers, "SARS, the Black Death, Ebola... and let's not forget AIDS in terms of infectiousness. There are countless examples."
The God of Plague laid on the grass and wept bitterly, "I've never even heard of these!"
Xia Shouren consoled him, "It's not your fault. These diseases only emerged after the collapse of Heavenly Law. In our time, trade wasn't as developed as it is now. Infections couldn't spread across the world in a blink of an eye like they do today."
Distress Demon angrily interrupted their conversation, "Stop your self-indulgent small talk! God of Plague, have you forgotten why you're here?"
The God of Plague realized how outdated he truly was. He hung his head and said dispiritedly, "I just want some peace and quiet. You carry on with your fight, leave me be."
Tormented Demon: "..."
The Tormented Demon found himself cornered, panting heavily as he faced the slowly approaching Shuo Zong, who wrapped his whip around his hand and lashed out without hesitation.
The battle erupted in a fierce clash. The Mo Luo roared in anger, struggling to survive amidst Shuo Zong's barrage of whips.
All able-bodied combatants from both sides, excluding Pestilence God, joined the fray tirelessly. Even Xia Shouren, despite being a weakling, was punched around the mountain while swinging his feeble fists. It wasn't that he was particularly weak; Asura Dao's physical strength was second to none among the six realms. A creature like the Tormented Demon, one of the Four Demons, could only be overwhelmed by a select few. Looking at the other minor groups and their struggles against the divine beasts, it was evident that the battle was far from easy.
The Mo Luo were outnumbered and couldn't gain the upper hand, especially the Tormented Demon, whose life was nearly drained by Shuo Zong's whip strikes, leaving him nowhere to hide.
His anxiety intensified, and with a wound in hand, he fixated on Shuo Zong, mustering all his courage to transform into a wisp of smoke on the spot.
The air trembled, visible ripples distorting reality. The scent of burning souls instantly permeated every corner.
Shuo Zong's whip missed its target, and he suddenly realized something, shouting urgently to Xia Shouren and the others behind him, "Stop him! He plans to sacrifice himself to summon the Demon King!"
The divine beasts rushed forward, but they hadn't anticipated such desperation. All their attempts were in vain.
That wisp of smoke was formless and elusive, compounded by the unique techniques of Asura Dao, making it impossible to grasp.
Shuo Zong cracked his whip without hesitation, pursuing Asura Dao relentlessly. However, no one could have imagined the sordid speed at which Asura Dao fled for his life. The Distress Demon suddenly transformed himself into countless Mo Luo birds, screaming as they flew towards the mountainside.
The flock of birds was enormous, so much so that even if there were ten times more auspicious beasts present, they might not be able to capture them all.
Shuo Zong's whip managed to strike down only a dozen or so Mo Luo birds, causing him to frown deeply.
Unexpectedly, the flapping birds suddenly halted their flight after only a short distance. The black birds in the sky gradually gathered and dissipated, reverting back to the Distress Demon's original form.
He clutched his wound, staring blankly in the direction of the mountain foot, his eyes flickering with a complex mix of sorrow and joy.
In his line of sight, a towering figure stepped slowly through the rain, approaching steadily. This figure was tall and majestic, with a calm expression. Amidst the chaotic battlefield and the despair in his heart, he seemed like a divine warrior descending from the heavens.
"De... Demon Lord..."
"His Majesty, the Demon Lord!!!"
"His Majesty, the Demon Lord!!!"
He knelt and cried out, his tears streaming down amidst the setting sun, stirring the entire landscape into a fervor. Upon hearing his voice, the other Mo Luo were like adrenaline-fueled beings, instantly turning the tide and forcefully pushing the evenly matched Divine Beasts away.
His Majesty has appeared!
Finally, His Majesty has appeared!!!
His Majesty could have arrived early or late, but he chose this precise moment to make an appearance. What else could be the reason except to lead the Demon World in overcoming adversity and resisting their foes?! To unite the entire realm under his rule!!!
Shuo Zong's eyes narrowed in surprise – the Demon King had actually appeared in person!
In an instant, his spirit tensed to an unprecedented degree, and he shot toward the direction of the Troublesome Devil at the speed of light.
Yet, before he could get close enough to see the Devil King's appearance, a sharp wind tore through the air. He sensed something hurtling towards this direction from down the mountain.
It's the attack of the Devil King!
Not daring to be careless, Shuo Zong firmly grasped the Godslayer Whip and immediately swung it forward toward his own front.
In the next moment, with a resounding smack, that unidentified weapon struck its target.
The Face of Torment Demon.
A smooth pebble slid down his swollen forehead, rolling away down the slope of the forest with a gentle rumble.
Torment Demon, with a bruised forehead and a shattered heart: "???"
Shuo Zong: "???"
Why isn't it coming for me?
At that moment, a familiar voice echoed from below the mountain:
"Damn, Master, look, look! There's something squatting over there, shouting and screaming. It looks so scary!"
Another, even more familiar voice replied,
"Don't be afraid, Master will protect you."
