Chapter 2031: Chapter 2016: Piercing Through Like Cheating
"The strongest can obtain my inheritance!"
Nine bloody characters radiated a dazzling blood light. Each stroke seemed to imprint itself onto the world, exuding an endless killing intent and battle spirit.
As soon as the stele appeared, Xuan Hu and Zhu Hong’s gaze locked onto it.
Almost simultaneously, Xuan Hu and Zhu Hong cried out miserably.
Blood tears flowed from their eyes.
"Be careful, these characters..."
In shock, Ye Zhen cautiously used the edge of his vision to glance, avoiding the overwhelming impact of the blood-colored characters’ killing intent.
The stele came and went swiftly.
In just a few breaths, with thunderous sounds, it plunged into the ground and vanished.
If not for the blood tears in Xuan Hu and Zhu Hong’s eyes, it would seem as if it had never appeared.
"What’s the purpose of the strongest obtaining the inheritance? What is this Ancient Demon God planning?" Ye Zhen pondered.
"Within the Demon Clan, and even among you humans, there are methods of nurturing and selecting generals. I think this Secret Realm’s Ancient Demon God is aiming for this plan.
After the slaughter, the strongest will receive the inheritance of this Demon God!"
"I saw at least a dozen blood lights, which means there are at least a dozen different clans like the Winged Demon Clan we encountered earlier?" Ye Zhen said.
"Pretty much," Xuan Hu nodded.
"To be the strongest, there’s much to consider!"
Ye Zhen’s lips twisted into a cold smile, "Since that’s the case, why don’t we play mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?"
Upon hearing, Zhu Hong’s eyes lit up, "I’m fond of such trickery, old Zhu loves it, tell me how we play?"
Ye Zhen didn’t immediately reply, instead focusing his gaze on the Demon Soul Army forming on the ground below.
"Understand now?"
Zhu Hong slapped his belly, "Are you suggesting?"
"This Inherited Secret Realm of the Ancient Demon God is filled with Demon Souls anyway, isn’t it?"
"We can train the army and preserve strength. Why not play this out?" Ye Zhen grinned fiercely.
Soon, Ye Zhen’s group vanished, leaving only a sweeping Demon Soul Army attacking the mountains filled with Demon Souls and Bone Demons.
It’s undeniable that these Demon Souls and Bone Demons were indeed powerful individually, and even the hastily formed legion had impressive combat capabilities.
Yet, compared to Hei Qi and Hei Jiu, they fell slightly short.
The commanders among these Demon Souls and Bone Demons relied merely on innate instincts for commanding battles.
However, Ye Zhen’s Hei Qi and Hei Jiu were battle-hardened commanders from the Demon Soul Realm, having fought through various legion engagements.
They had an acute understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of Demon Soul battles, commanding the remaining twenty-thousand-strong Demon Soul Legion with precision.
Furthermore, Ye Zhen brought a Demon Soul Legion with the lowest cultivation at the Third Stage of Dark Palace Realm, each being considered elite.
Throughout the journey, Ye Zhen hardly participated.
Instead, using Mirage Energy to transfigure into a leading Demon Soul, under Hei Qi and Hei Jiu’s command, they swept through.
Most importantly, this Demon Soul Legion was supported by the War Soul Blood Flag, healing any Demon Soul not killed on the spot.
Within the Demon Soul Realm, these Demon Souls could absorb stray energy from defeated peers, enhancing themselves.
Sweeping westward, Ye Zhen’s Demon Soul Legion steadily strengthened.
The War Soul Blood Flag also grew, absorbing the power of the slain Demon Souls continuously.
The sole annoyance was the resilient Bone Demons causing some distress to the Demon Soul Legion.
Yet, with Ye Zhen and his Mystical Mechanism Avatar as near cheats, those Bone Demons were mere minor disruptions.
After a day and a half of slaughter, Ye Zhen’s Demon Soul Legion had less than a hundred losses, while Realm King Demon Souls rose to a thousand.
These emerged from Demon Souls breaking through from around the Ninth Stage of Dark Palace Realm.
Overall, the Demon Soul Army’s strength doubled at least in this day and a half.
"Wait, look!"
Amidst restrained battle strength under Ye Zhen’s transfigured Ancient Mirage Dragon presence, Zhu Hong pointed to the distant sky.
In the distant sky, a blood light floated, echoing shouts of battle.
"Nie Ting!" Ye Zhen murmured.
A thin Demon Soul at the back had its ears instantly twitching.
During the previous battle with the Winged Demons, Ye Zhen was reluctant to let Big Ears Nie Ting come out. Big Ears had just reached the Fourth Stage of the Dark Palace Realm, and if something went wrong in the battle against the Winged Demons, Ye Zhen wouldn’t even have time to cry.
However, in this kind of legion warfare, Big Ears plays a crucial role.
Ye Zhen let Big Ears come out, using Mirage Energy to transfigure him into the appearance of a Demon Soul, joining the fray.
However, Ye Zhen assigned at least twenty Realm King level Demon Souls to protect Big Ears, and even the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten was nestled in Big Ears’ arms at this moment.
Should anything go wrong, they would do their utmost to ensure Big Ears Nie Ting’s survival.
The bloodline of the Heavenly Sound Clan, long since exterminated, is incredibly precious. If it were captured by the Ancestral Shrine of the Great Zhou, it would be considered even more valuable than Ye Zhen himself.
"Five thousand nine hundred and seventy-three Demon Clan soldiers. Judging by the sound, those Demon Clan members are powerful and are currently slaughtering the nearby Demon Souls and Bone Demon Legion," Big Ears reported after listening for several breaths.
After a moment’s consideration, Ye Zhen commanded, "Press forward!"
With the banners unfurling, nearly twenty thousand elite Demon Souls charged at the Demon Clan troops slaughtering the Demon Souls with fierce killing intent.
As they got closer, Ye Zhen discovered that the distant Demon Clan unit consisted of Four-Armed Nagas.
The Four-Armed Nagas are a main combat race within the Demon Clan, but they are categorized by gender.
Females possess naturally robust physiques, standing over ten meters tall, wielding a weapon in each hand, highly formidable in close combat.
Male Four-Armed Nagas are innately smaller but possess extraordinarily strong Divine Soul Power. Their inherent Four-colored Soul Light and affinity with the Five Elements enable male Four-Armed Nagas to cast an array of potent Five Elements Spiritual Techniques.
If the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Wings Army is akin to cavalry on the battlefield, then this Four-Armed Naga Legion serves as a main force capable of both offence and defense.
The Five Elements Spiritual Techniques cast by male Four-Armed Nagas notably augment and protect female Four-Armed Nagas while also providing formidable firepower.
In some regards, for Ye Zhen, this Four-Armed Naga Legion is more troublesome than the Heavenly Wings Army.
Evidently, this Four-Armed Naga Legion did not take Ye Zhen’s rapidly advancing Demon Soul Army from the rear and flank seriously.
Currently, the Four-Armed Naga Legion is confronting a mixed army of Demon Souls and Bone Demons exceeding seventy thousand strong, with cultivation ranging from Dao Entrance Realm to Realm King Realm, immensely powerful.
Yet, this Four-Armed Naga Legion was like a path-clearing machine in the face of an enemy ten times its size.
The five thousand robust and mighty female Four-Armed Nagas roared, their four heavy weapons imbued with Spiritual Power rained down like a torrent, smashing the Demon Souls as if being pummeled into mincemeat.
Additionally, a thousand small-framed male Four-Armed Nagas moved their four arms in Seal Formulas, unleashing waves of immensely powerful Five Elements Spiritual Techniques.
Numerous Demon Souls and Bone Demons disintegrated into ashes under the Five Elements Spiritual Techniques.
Ye Zhen closely observed that nine Four-Armed Nagas had distinct attire and cultivation level compared to the others.
Six Four-Armed Nagas were in the Eighth to Ninth Stage of the Realm King Realm, three were in the Early Dao Realm, and all were male with slight builds.
Among them, the so-called Inherited Blood Banner was wielded by a male Four-Armed Naga at the Peak of the Early Dao Realm, with the strongest Spiritual Power wave.
Ye Zhen’s target was indeed the Inherited Blood Banner.
Quickly, the Four-Armed Nagas noticed Ye Zhen’s rapidly approaching Demon Soul Army, yet they didn’t take it seriously.
The male Four-Armed Naga wielding the Blood Banner merely cast a cold glance, and within the Four-Armed Naga Legion, fifteen hundred female, muscular Four-Armed Nagas and two hundred male, small-framed Four-Armed Nagas were dispatched to intercept.
"What do we do?" Xuan Hu looked towards Ye Zhen.
"Take it easy, approach first," Ye Zhen eyed the male Four-Armed Naga wielding the Blood Banner.
"Prepare to pierce through!"
With Ye Zhen’s command, under Hei Qi’s direction, over a thousand Realm King level Demon Souls scattered across the Demon Soul Army suddenly converged to form an arrowhead at the front of the formation.
Then, the Demon Soul Army accelerated instantly, shooting towards the Four-Armed Naga Legion like a blood-red arrowhead.
The leading, impossibly robust female Four-Armed Naga laughed wildly, clearly viewing the Demon Soul Army with disdain, having already slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Demon Souls.
But in the next moment, these female Four-Armed Nagas’ expressions changed.
The arrowhead constituted by over a thousand Realm King level Demon Souls granted them overwhelming superiority over these mostly Mid Dark Palace Realm female Four-Armed Nagas.
This suppression in cultivation could not be countered despite their powerful physical strength.
What’s more problematic, Ye Zhen, Mystical Mechanism Avatar, Xuan Hu, Zhu Hong, and Ling Qianbi, all possessing powers significantly surpassing regular Demon Souls, stood at the forefront of the arrowhead, disguised as Demon Souls, penetrating straight into the heart of this detached mini-legion like a razor-sharp dagger.
No opponent stood a chance in front of them.
Especially Ye Zhen and the Mystical Mechanism Avatar serving as the arrowhead, they seemed to be cheating within the formation.
In seemingly an instant, they pierced through the fifteen hundred strong female Four-Armed Naga unit.
As for the diminutive male Four-Armed Nagas, their weak physiques were ridiculously fragile, with Zhu Hong crushing three with a single slap.
Within a single breath, the entire legion of fifteen hundred female and two hundred male Four-Armed Nagas was annihilated.
However, the terrified and pained cries of the diminutive male Four-Armed Nagas immediately drew the attention of the male Four-Armed Naga wielding the Blood Banner, whose expression underwent a drastic change.
With a wave of the hand, as another two thousand female Four-Armed Nagas flew over, those nine exceptionally lavishly dressed male Four-Armed Nagas simultaneously arrived.
