Chapter 255: So This is the Kid!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Demonic beasts existed since the start of human history, and it was rumored that millions of years ago, these wild beasts constantly evolved and got hold of a special method of cultivation that allowed them to consume the essence of the sun and moon to progressively strengthen themselves.
After many generations, many wild beasts evolved into demonic beasts which possessed the mystical demonic arts. Until several hundreds of thousands of years ago, there were countless formidable demonic beasts; and there were some that were so absurdly strong that they could transform into human forms. They possessed intelligence and strength that was even superior to the human race!
In the history of mankind, demonic beasts had always been a calamity for the human world. About 120,000 years ago, there was a demonic beast insurrection that caused huge losses to the continent, with millions of people dead.
Finally, under the leaders.h.i.+p of five absolute masters, the humans successfully suppressed the demonic beast army and also the three Demon Emperors of the demonic beasts. They established a blood vow: the demonic beasts would use Mt. Thirty Thousand as their main camp; and the absolute masters of the humans must not enter the depths of Mt. Thirty Thousand while the Demon Kings and emperors must not exit the mountain either.
This was a rather famous blood vow in the continent that was named Eight-Emperor Blood Vow. It was also because of this blood vow that the demonic beasts no longer caused any disaster to the human world. At least for these several thousands of years, none of the high-tiered Demon King or Demon Emperor ever left Mt. Thirty Thousand. Of course, the pinnacle experts of the human race wouldn’t just foolishly venture into the depths of Mt. Thirty Thousand.
However, this blood vow had been broken today.
After over 120,000 years, the demonic beast army had another insurrection. The Demon Kings and emperors from within Mt. Thirty Thousand had poured out and obviously already cleansed several cities with blood.
Mt. Thirty Thousand was in-between the Divine Martial Kingdom and the Great Xia Kingdom. Jiang Yi was currently in the northern part of the Great Xia Kingdom, and if the demonic beast army encountered him here, it meant those smaller cities in the south of Mt. Thirty Thousand must have been leveled.
“Thud-Thud!”
Jiang Yi’s heart was racing as he looked on as the overwhelming number of demonic beasts came rus.h.i.+ng. He could feel a bit of suffocation, and the Dragon Eagle that he was riding on couldn’t even take flight at all as it was curled up and trembling.
Jiang Yi didn’t know how many men had this demonic beast army slaughtered, but he knew that he was about to die, too. Facing against such a formidable demonic beast army and so many high-tiered demonic beasts, it would be even doubtful if his father—Jiang Bieli—was able to escape!
Most importantly… there was this alluring woman within the demonic beast army, a Demon Emperor in the shape of a human!
Jiang Yi had never seen a Demon Emperor before, but he was certain that this was the legendary Demon Emperor… because of the overwhelmingly vicious aura that came from the Demon Emperor. It oppressed Jiang Yi so much that his blood was tumbling, and his soul spirit couldn’t even garner any battle intent.
“Am I going to die?”
Jiang Yi struggled to lick his lips. Death wasn’t something he was afraid of. He just felt that it was regretful that he wasn’t able to rescue Xiaonu.
“Come on then, b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!”
He let out a brutal smile and quickly withdrew the Dragon Eagle. The Fire Dragon Sword appeared with a flash of the Fire Spirit Pearl while his body burst forth with an intention to die. The Ma.s.sacre Intent poured out, turning his eyes blood red. Jiang Yi thought to himself that, even if he had to die… he would drag along a few demonic beasts with him!
“En?”
The Demon Emperor that was flying in mid-air had this astonished expression when she saw that Jiang Yi was actually able to wield his sword and resist against her aura suppression. When she saw the blood red eyes in Jiang Yi’s eyes and the released Ma.s.sacre Intent, she knew what was happening.
The Ma.s.sacre Intent was a very mysterious power that could oppress the enemy and also enter a Ma.s.sacre state of mind, completely ignoring the aura suppression from the enemies. In other words… he was currently a ma.s.sacre machine where his soul spirit was congested with ma.s.sacre intent, causing the influence from the outside to be weakened.
“So this is the kid! Hmph!”
The Demon Emperor took a closer look at Jiang Yi and found him familiar. She paused in mid-air and let out an enigmatic smile. With a wave of her snow-white jade hands, the tier-four Demon Kings that were rus.h.i.+ng at Jiang Yi actually moved aside and ignored Jiang Yi while they continued their advance. A giant snow-white lion let out a roar and violently rushed at Jiang Yi.
“Come on!”
Since the tier-four Demon Kings didn’t come looking for Jiang Yi, he naturally wouldn’t go throwing his life at them. His blood red eyes stared intently at the Snow Lion that was bursting towards him. There was this crazed battle intent that was revealed in his mouth as he swung the Fire Dragon Sword, launching two fire dragons towards the Snow Lion.
“Tsk-Tsk!”
There was a flash of white light enveloping the Snow Lion’s body, turning its body into an afterimage. The fire dragons that had such speed were actually dodged by the Snow Lion with ease.
“Boom!”
Two fire dragons whizzed across and soon collided with a giant demonic beast at the back. It made Jiang Yi fall into a desperate situation. That bear-type giant demonic beast glowed with yellow light. As the fire dragons crashed onto its body, it was only forced back three meters without any form of damage.
“They are all tier-three superior-grade demonic beasts…”
After the Demon Emperor gave the orders, the tier-four Demon Kings didn’t go looking for trouble with Jiang Yi; but it was all tier-three superior-grade demonic beasts. Jiang Yi could never go against them.
“Die!”
Despite so, Jiang Yi didn’t give up. The Earth Fire poured out from his Fire Spirit Pearl as the Fire Dragon Sword brandished again as he swung it forward vigorously!
“Tsk-Tsk!”
Countless wind dragons were sent out along with Earth Fire, two more fire dragons followed closely at the back. The s.p.a.ce in front of the Fire Dragon Sword suddenly froze while the wind dragons firmly restrained the Snow Lion.
“Roar-Roar!”
The Snow Lion roared out, dissipating the invisible wind dragons that surrounded it; but its body was still frozen in place for one second! In just this one second, Jiang Yi’s Earth Fire and fire dragons arrived, instantly engulfing the Snow Lion.
“Tsk-Tsk!”
“Bang!”
The Snow Lion’s body was burning with intense fire while two fire dragons surged over and burst the gigantic body into pieces. There was a blood mist in the air as the flesh danced across the sky, creating a breathtaking scene.
“Huh…”
Jiang Yi’s blood red eyes shrank. At this crucial moment, he didn’t expect that his random swing of the sword actually fused the Earth Fire, Fire Dragon Sword, and the Wind Shadow Sword… successfully killing a tier-three superior-grade demonic beast.
“Dao pattern attack?”
There was a flash of light in the Demon Emperor’ eyes as she snorted and waved her jade hands again. Eight formidable tier-three demonic beasts by the side immediately rushed at Jiang Yi.
“If you want this Young Master’s life, then you shall all die together! Hahaha!”
Jiang Yi laughed out loud and didn’t conceal his strength anymore.
Earth Fire constantly surged from his body while a Fire Spirit Rock appeared when the Fire Spirit Pearl flashed concurrently. He then shot the Fire Spirit Rock with lightning speed towards the several demonic beasts that rushed at him.
“Eh?”
The Demon Emperor had this change of expression as she swiftly extended her hand and pointed in mid-air. A patterned wave rippled from her finger which spread in all directions.
The most mystical thing had happened.
The moment this formless patterned wave appeared, it felt as though time had stopped within this entire s.p.a.ce. The demonic beasts at the bottom stopped moving while Jiang Yi’s body also froze in place—even the Earth Fire and the flames from the Fire Spirit Rock remained still.
“Swis.h.!.+”
The alluring Demon Emperor’ body flashed and appeared in front of Jiang Yi. There was this gentle flash of radiance on her hands as she reached out towards the Fire Spirit Rock that Jiang Yi shot out. Finally, she actually grabbed it in her hand; and yet… the flames on the Fire Spirit Rock actually vanished.
“This, this is…”
Her gorgeous eyes were filled with bewilderment as she took a closer look at the Fire Spirit Rock. This dreadful Fire Spirit Rock was just like an ordinary piece of coal in her hands and didn’t have any form of lethality.
