Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

The current atmosphere outside of the Stellarsky City was abnormally fiery as millions of demonic beast covered the skies and ground. There weren’t a lot of human martial artists—which was close to a hundred thousand, but all of them were experts at the peak stage of Purple Mansion Realm, with about ten thousand Soul Travel Realm experts. There were around five thousand Soul Travel Realm experts beyond the fifth stage of Soul Travel Realm while there were at least three hundred peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts.

“Roar-Roar!”

The peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts formed teams of slightly more than a dozen, each trying to restrain a Demon King. They didn’t release their essence force because such attacks would never break through the Demon King’s defenses.

They relied on the heaven artifacts in their hands and their astounding speed to constantly hit and evade. They would launch sneak attacks from all directions, using various special martial skills. The eighteen Demon Kings were so infuriated that they constantly let out roars that caused the heart to palpitate.

“Tsk-Tsk!”

There was a giant snake that had five enormous skulls; due to its excessive length, it was constantly slashed by the roaming Soul Travel Realm experts, which incurred its fury. Its giant metallic tail whipped around violently and unceasingly, leaving behind pits that were three meters wide and twenty meters deep.

Its five heads would open their scarlet mouths from time to time to spit out horrific flames. If one human martial artist was to accidentally make contact with the flames, their body would instantly be incinerated into dust.

A pity!

Its body was too long, and there were too many demonic beasts around, making it difficult to maneuver. The peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts were all fast like lightning. Their smaller bodies made them agile, allowing them to launch all the sneak attacks. It didn’t matter if they were able to hit it as they would still retreat after the attack. Whenever the five-headed snake’s attention was attracted by the people on one side, the martial artists on the other side would immediately attack and swiftly retreat.

Heaven artifacts were abnormally sharp. With the peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts’ condensed essence force, they were able to utilize the heaven artifacts to the largest extent. The Demon Kings had extreme defenses; if it wasn’t for these heaven artifacts, they would never be able to break their defenses.

As they continued to attack non-stop, the blood wounds could constantly be drawn on the five-headed giant snake’s body. If this battle carried on, it would ultimately be tortured to death.

The rest of the Demon Kings weren’t doing so well either. Whenever they were to use demonic arts, they would manage to kill one or two peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts; but there were just too many experts from the Azure Dragon Empire. There were probably more experts than any of the vassal kingdoms, and it was probably the reason why the vassal kingdoms didn’t dare to extinguish the Azure Dragon Empire.

With all the eighteen Demon Kings restrained, the ones left were the tier-three and tier-two demonic beasts. There might be a ton of them, but they weren’t threatening. With every death of a human, at least a few dozen tier-three demonic beasts would be dead. If they continued to fight like this, the Azure Dragon Empire might suffer huge losses, but victory was definitely on their side.

“Alright!”

Princess Ling Xue was initially in despair, but once the Azure Dragon Empire’s old ancestor stepped in, the entire situation was instantly changed, causing her to be ecstatic!

This battle was related to the existence of the Azure Dragon Empire. If they were able to win, the Empire’s prowess would be back on top; and the Empire would be able to use this momentum to wipe out the six vassal kingdoms and conquer the continent again. The Great Xia Kingdom and the Saint Spirit Kingdom had been dealt a huge blow by the demonic beast army. They were in a weak position, which was precisely the best timing to eradicate both of these kingdoms.

“Boom-Boom-Boom!”

Loud rumbles echoed again from the skies, which pulled Princess Ling Xue back from her thoughts. Her long shapely brows knitted toward as she put on a concerned expression. She prayed in her heart. “Old ancestor, please do not lose.”

“Swish!”

Out of a sudden, a figure shot down from the skies.

When Princess Ling Xue and the countless people in the city saw him, they were instantly delighted. The one who flew down was the Azure Dragon Empire’s old ancestor. The old ancestor was back, but the Demon Empress wasn’t? Did he kill the Demon Empress?

“Pfff…”

However, the Azure Dragon Empire’s old ancestor suddenly spat out a violent burst of fresh blood. His flying trajectory shuddered as he crashed directly into the imperial palace.

“Old Ancestor!”

Princess Ling Xue’s flowery expression drastically altered as she exclaimed. She immediately sent several men towards the imperial palace. Her eyes looked high up in the sky and saw this graceful and poised lady descending like a fairy from the nine heavens. Princess Ling Xue’s eyes revealed this despaired expression.

Azure Dragon Empire’s old ancestor had been defeated! It was an utter defeat. He was an absolute martial expert one hundred years ago, but he was still unable to defeat the demon race’s emperor.

Once the old ancestor was defeated, it would mean complete defeat for the Azure Dragon Empire. The Demon Empress was able to wipe out a million soldiers with ease by herself, and she was matchless!

“Hmph!”

As expected, once the Demon Empress saw the lopsided situation, she had this smear of chilling intent on her charming face. Her body suddenly flashed with white light as she turned into a beautiful white fox.

There were five giant tails that drifted about behind her. The moment she reverted to her original form, a strange fragrance permeated from her body, which enveloped all the martial artists below before quickly spreading towards the city walls.

“Fox fragrance! Charming Demonic Art. We are done for…”

Princess Ling Xue witnessed all the experts who had stopped fighting outside of the city. Their expressions were bewildered so were the martial artists on the city walls, which was robbed of all color of blood.

There was once when a Three-Tailed Spirit Fox which slaughtered an entire Saint Spirit City by itself, which proved how formidable the spirit fox’s demonic art was. Right now, it was a Five-Tailed Spirit Fox Demon Emperor which was personally releasing the demonic art. How could an expert from Soul Travel Realm have enough soul spirit toughness to resist against it?

“We are done for. Emperor Father, your child is coming to look for you!”

Ling Xue had cultivated her soul spirit, and it was very tough. Even she wasn’t able to resist it. Her eyes were falling into bewilderment, and she was about to be charmed.

“Chu-Chu!”

Right at this moment, a clear chirping of a bird echoed, closely followed by a roar. This caused Ling Xue to regain her consciousness, causing her body to tremble while her pale expression was restored with redness.

“Wait. Demon Empress. I have rescued your daughter!”

There were three huge avians that were flying at a rapid speed from the east. Principal Qi and the others were seemingly fearful of this Demon Empress and didn’t dare to recklessly get near.

Jiang Yi was riding on the Dragon Eagle by himself as he was carrying a little fox in his arms, whose expression was filled with delight, constantly calling out with a ‘Ji-Ji’ towards the Five-Tailed Spirit Fox.

“Buzz!”

The Five-Tailed Spirit Fox flashed with white light before turning back into a beautiful lady. Her emotionless face was filled with heartache as she called out from far away. “Xiao Fei!”

“Ji-Ji!”

The jewel eyes of the little fox were withholding tears as it let out a pitiful and grieved expression. Before Jiang Yi even got near to the Demon Empress, it shot out from Jiang Yi’s arms and pounced right into the Demon Empress’ bosom and cried non-stop.

“Xiao Fei, it has been hard on you!”

The Demon Empress’ voice was choked with emotions as it gently strokes the little fox with a pampering expression.

“Huuu…”

Jiang Yi could see many of the Soul Travel Realm experts regaining their consciousness while retreating back to Stellarsky City. He was relieved to find the Stellarsky City still intact while the commoners weren’t slaughtered. If he had been slightly later, the entire city would probably be charmed; and this city would most likely turn into a dead city, right?

He muttered for a moment before he glanced at the fearsome demonic beast army as he bowed with a cupped fist towards the Demon Empress. “Demon Empress, I have rescued your little Princess for you. I earnestly request for you to immediately withdraw the demonic beast army back to Mt. Thirty Thousand and stop killing anyone. There had been far too many deaths this time!”

“Hmph!”

Who would have expected the Demon Empress to brush her eyes across Jiang Yi as she let out a ‘hmph’? “Do you think I will withdraw my army just because you said so? The mastermind behind the scenes, who kidnapped my daughter, has yet to be found; how could this Empress withdraw my army so quickly? If you humans do not give me a satisfying explanation, this Empress will cleanse the continent with blood!”
