Chapter 1056 - Beating Up Demon Beasts
As Old Fox was filled with emotion, Great Deer City’s top-level hunting team had secretly sneaked into the beast tide. Shadowless Demon’s concealment ability was indeed incomparably formidable and he soon locked onto the positions of the three Demon Commander level demon beasts.
They hid themselves in the beast tide and mobilized the army of demon beasts tactically, causing them to crash into the city like waves in a stormy sea.
A giant python with black scales stood nearly a thousand feet long. There was a bulge on top of its head and its golden eyes flashed with a cold intelligence.
There was a demon ape of unknown species. Its body could become small and large, and when it transformed to a thousand feet in height it possessed strength capable of shattering mountains and rivers!
The last Demon Commander level demon beast was a crow. Yes, that was right, ignoring its horrifying demonic energy that was so thick it was almost condensed into a solid, its pure appearance was exactly that of a crow in the living world.
Golden-eyed demon python, demon ape, crow…these three creatures had no bloodline relations.h.i.+p. Yet, hidden in the beast tide, they achieved a perfect state of cooperation without any friction between them.
This discovery left Shadowless Demon feeling restless, because this was clearly a strange and unusual matter.
Even if these three Demon Commander level demon beasts had a certain level of intelligence, since they had locked their sights onto a treasure that Liu Huo had, it should have been impossible for them to maintain this kind of peace.
Could it be that they first agreed to break into Great Deer City and then divide the fruits of their labor? Did they plan on beating each other up afterwards to see who would take everything in the end?
He felt that there had to be another reason behind all of this.
But there was no time to think about it. The beast tide was growing increasingly violent, and Great Deer City was already putting up its last ditch efforts to defend. It could be broken through at any moment.
If they couldn’t deal with the beast tide and alarmed Liu Huo, then everything they were doing would lose any and all meaning.
Shadowless Demon took a deep breath and suppressed the restlessness in his heart. He clenched his teeth and crushed a demon crystal card in his pocket.
“Die!” With a shout, Shadowless Demon ruthlessly attacked. And before this, he had taken the super mighty invincibility pill that Old Fox had given him without hesitation.
His ears buzzed and his mind blanked out for a moment. Then, his heart began to beat at an astonis.h.i.+ng speed, causing the blood in his body to surge forward.
An incomparably formidable strength gushed through his limbs and bones. It roared through him, wanting to destroy all.
A dark and cruel impulse spouted out from within his soul, nearly wiping out his mind. Shadowless Demon did his best, only barely managing to keep his consciousness from being taken over.
His blood red eyes locked onto the demon ape. As he punched out a fist, the abyssal energy in the heavens and earth gathered, forming a terrifyingly large fist that came cras.h.i.+ng down.
Hou –
The demon ape was only the size of a person right now. It roared out loud and peals of thunder seemed to erupt from its chest.
Its billowing voice spread through the air. Then, its body started to grow like a balloon. In the blink of an eye it was a thousand feet tall. Its Demon Commander level aura swept through the skies!
Bang –
With a loud crash, the transformed demon ape’s giant body was suddenly shortened. It crashed into the ground and sank inside. Numerous cracks spread out in all directions.
Faint traces of black demon blood dripped from its head. It was clear that Shadowless Demon’s punch, which was powered with his fully unleashed potential from the super mighty invincibility pill, had caused damage to it.
“Hou!” The demon ape roared in anger. The countless surrounding demon beasts could feel the summons of its will. They all howled and started to rush over.
“Go!”
“Stop them!”
12 Demon Generals shot into the skies, all of them using their strongest abilities. Their mission was to prevent the demon beasts from approaching and gain as much time as possible for Shadowless Demon.
Endless power surged within Shadowless Demon. He felt as if his entire body was going to blow up.
The desire to vent this power, the violence that filled his heart, these two emotions stacked up atop each other. Without stopping, he punched again.
Rumble rumble –
A ma.s.sive amount of abyssal energy wildly gathered. It followed his will, forming another fist that aimed at the demon ape who had been pounded into the ground.
Then, there was another deafening ring. The demon ape’s giant body was smashed into the earth once more.
It roared in anger, but facing the current Shadowless Demon, even if it was a Demon Commander level demon beast it was still suppressed.
After losing the initiative, it was caught off guard by a sneak attack from Shadowless Demon and had no chance to recover. It could only pa.s.sively withstand Shadowless Demon’s wild barrage of strikes!
For a time, thunderclaps filled the world. They shook the earth, causing the ground to tremble and wild winds to whip into existence.
The endless abyssal energy that flooded the abyss world constantly formed thick arms, as if they were the hands of a demon G.o.d.
When others said that tactics were useless in the face of absolute power, perhaps this could describe the current situation. But if someone didn’t see it with their own eyes, they would never believe that a Demon Commander could suppress a formidable demon ape to such a degree.
And at the same time, while Shadowless Demon’s mind was flooded with cruelty and destruction, he hadn’t lost his clarity of thought.
He already knew that if an Abyss Walker were to create something, whatever they produced was bound to be extraordinary. But, this super mighty invincibility pill was far more powerful than expected.
This sort of endless and unmatched strength nearly reached the limits of his body. And because he had stolen countless treasures, Shadowless Demon’s demon body had been tempered to almost the peak of what a Demon Commander could reach.
In other words, what he was erupting with now was the strength of a Demon Commander that stood at the summit. If he could go further and transform his bloodline, he would be able to obtain the approval of the abyss’ will and become an Abyssal King.
Your Excellency Liu Huo, your strength was unexpectedly this formidable!
At this moment, Shadowless Demon could no longer disguise the burning heat in his heart. Without reason, he started to believe that as long as he could obtain Liu Huo’s approval, he would certainly help him in breaking through his limits and reaching the Demon King boundary.
But all of this was based on the premise that he could complete the task that Liu Huo had given – he had to resolve Great Deer City’s beast tide crisis.
So for his dreams, this demon ape had to die!
These thoughts seemed complex and slow, but they all happened in the blink of an eye. Then, as he continued fighting, whether it was his speed or might, he was several degrees more terrifying.
A violent roar suddenly erupted from the ground. The earth shattered, forming a ring of mud and rock that rushed into the distance.
Shadowless Demon’s attack crushed the flood of mud and stone, but his continuous barrage of attacks was broken.
The demon ape was given a chance to catch its breath. Its giant body leapt up from the ground and it roared in anger. Its body ballooned again, reaching 1500 feet in height.
It was like a rapidly moving mountain, every action and move it took capable of shaking the world.
A cold purple intent flashed in its blood red eyes. It was like crystal, s.h.i.+mmering with killing intent.
The demon ape lifted its hands and struck its own chest, as if it were beating on a giant drum. With a great beat, its powerful voice swept out.
The 13 Demon Generals coughed and paled. As their bodies flew in midair, they were like birds that had a wing sheared off; they started falling to the ground one after another.
And they had only withstood the aftereffects of the shockwaves. Shadowless Demon bore the brunt of the attack. He spat out a mouthful of blood as countless cracks appeared over the surface of his body, each one gus.h.i.+ng out blood.
The situation only lasted for a moment. He tightened his body, locking up all the wounds so that no blood flowed out anymore.
At the same time, the strength within Shadowless Demon’s body started to wildly inflate once more!
For a time, Shadowless Demon was surprised and pleased. He never expected that the super mighty invincibility pills would have effects similar to Blood Battle Immortality.
Strictly speaking, the so-called Blood Battle Immortality was a pa.s.sive attribute that many abyssal demon bloodlines possessed.
Once an abyssal demon was injured, their bloodline would be stimulated and they would explode with an even greater strength for a period of time.
The heavier the wounds, the greater the strength!
Of course, there was a limit to such an increase. And once the injuries surpa.s.sed the limits of what the demon bloodline could withstand, those that would die would still die.
Shadowless Demon had a pa.s.sive attribute of Blood Battle Immortality, but its quality was only normal.
Yet now, with the help of the super mighty invincibility pill, he could feel every aspect of himself growing stronger.
This range of increase was comparable with the highest level of the Blood Battle Immortality attribute!
At the same time, it was because of this that Shadowless Demon felt fear. Because he could now clearly sense that his current bodily state could not contain any more strength.
If things continued like this, he feared it wouldn’t be long before he blew apart into countless fragments.
Fortunately, the scene that Shadowless Demon feared didn’t happen. When he was about to break past his capacity limits, the growing strength in his body suddenly stopped.
He didn’t dare to hesitate. He punched out immediately. He had to divulge this terrifying strength as soon as possible.
Rumble rumble –
With the sound of roaring thunder, billowing abyssal energy gathered from all directions, its amount far surpa.s.sing what came before.
An incomparably ma.s.sive phantom, like a demon G.o.d from ancient times, emerged from thin air. It performed the same actions as Shadowless Demon, raising its hands and blasting forward.
The demon ape’s pupils shrank and its purple eyes filled with shock. It obviously never imagined that a mere Demon Commander of the abyssal demon race could erupt with such a terrifying strength.
With a deep roar, it punched out with its fist, colliding with the demon G.o.d phantom. Then, its 1500 tall body was struck soaring away.
One could hear the sounds of its thick and iron-like arm breaking and collapsing.
With a pained howl, the demon ape crashed into the ground, crus.h.i.+ng packs of demon beasts that weren’t able to avoid in time into muddy flesh.
It stood up, but this time it no longer continued attacking Shadowless Demon. Instead, it turned and ran into the distance.
At the same time, it roared out loud. Its voice echoed into the distance and caused countless demon beasts to crazily gather around it.
A formidable Demon Commander level demon beast that still maintained its intelligence was unexpectedly fleeing!
