Chapter 305
Invading the Demon Realm, Expanding Territory to 3 Kingdoms!
The Dream Demon Ancestor chickened out!
He didn't even dare to go to the Cosmic Sea to support Zhen Yaozu, but instead went straight back to the demon race's territory.
Of course, there are reasons why he was cowardly.
The situation that Zhen Yaozu is currently in is indeed beyond the ability of an eighth-order universe's strongest being to save him.
Even if the Dream Demon Ancestor rushed over from afar to provide support, it would be completely futile, and he might even lose his own life in the process.
"The human race!"
The Dream Demon Ancestor roared angrily, its eyes filled with a terrifying gloom.
He felt both boundless anger and a trace of fear.
How did two ninth-tier combatants suddenly appear in the human race without anyone noticing?
The Lord of Hongmeng Dao was one thing, although his strength had improved by an extraordinary amount, at least he still had a foundation to follow. But that Demon-Slaying True God seemed to have sprung up out of nowhere.
And there's also the Demon God Guilang!
Despite being the strongest individual in the Lone Universe, his strength is only at the seventh rank.
Only tens of thousands of years have passed, how did he suddenly break through to the eighth rank and even mingle with the human race?
Everything filled the Dream Demon Ancestor with fear.
Because he discovered that, at the level of "the strongest in the universe" alone, the human race had completely surpassed the demon race, and was even stronger than the demon race, the insect race, and the machine race combined.
The Lord of Hongmeng alone, with his ninth-tier combat power, was already able to crush four of them: the Dream Demon Ancestor, the Earthquake Demon Ancestor, the Zerg Queen, and the Mechanical Father God.
Not to mention, humanity also has the creator of the giant axe.
As for the Demon-Slaying True God...
Although it is not yet certain whether he is a powerful human, his relationship with the human race must be complicated.
"Lost!"
"We lost too badly!"
The Dream Demon Ancestor sighed softly, then transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the starry sky.
……
The core area of the demon race's territory.
A streak of silvery-white light, exuding a powerful aura, fell at an extremely fast speed.
"I have met the Ancestor of Dream Demons."
"Dream Demon Ancestor, why are you back so soon?"
"Dream Demon Ancestor, how is the Tremor Demon Ancestor?"
One by one, the great beings of the demon race gathered here, all of them anxious and roaring in unease.
After all, Zhen Yaozu represents half of the entire demon race.
If he were to perish, the overall strength of the demon race would suffer a major blow.
"The Demon Ancestor..."
The Dream Demon Ancestor said in an extremely low and sorrowful tone, "He may not be coming back."
brush!
Upon hearing this, many demon race universe lords' expressions changed drastically.
Some of the universe lords who originally belonged to the Zhenyao Ancestor faction had particularly ugly expressions.
"This...how is this possible?"
"Our teacher is the strongest being in the universe, how could he possibly perish!"
A colossal serpent, tens of thousands of kilometers long and covered in gold and silver scales, exuded an incredibly terrifying aura and spoke in disbelief.
“Zigoryu, the strongest in the universe, is the most heaven-defying power in the universe, and even the rules of the universe have to retreat before him.”
"But even the strongest beings in the universe... will fall."
The Dream Demon Ancestor sighed and said, "The universe has gone through endless cycles of reincarnation. Over the long years, how many of the strongest beings in the universe have fallen? It just so happens that this time it is a powerful being from our demon race who has fallen."
silence!
Utter silence!
All the high-ranking members of the Demon Race Universe Lords were either grieving, shocked, or furious, but they all had to accept one fact—the Demon Ancestor was most likely to perish.
"Teacher, what should we do next?"
The original third strongest demon, now the second strongest, Lord Changjiu, stepped forward and asked in a deep voice.
His face was ashen, yet he maintained a basic level of composure.
"Command the powerful of my demon alliance... to retreat completely!"
"The cosmic lords who roamed the cosmic sea and the cosmic venerables who ventured into the cosmic secret realms have all retreated to the demon race's territory."
"Dream Demon Ancestor sighed and said."
In this way, his demon race would have to give up a lot of benefits.
But now, faced with pressure, they have no choice but to do this.
"it is good."
The Lord of Changjiu nodded first, then frowned and said, "There shouldn't be any problem with the full withdrawal of our demon race's powerful forces, but those subordinate forces may not necessarily obey."
"Let them be."
With red eyes, the Dream Demon Ancestor scanned the dozen or so Universe Lords present, and said in a low and serious tone, "Everyone, I can tell you with great responsibility that my demon race has reached a point of life and death."
"If they can kill Zhen Yaozu this time, they can kill me next time."
"Dream Demon Ancestor said calmly."
Normally, relying on his supreme and most powerful armor, he believed that as long as he didn't do anything reckless in some universally acknowledged forbidden zone, he would have virtually no chance of dying.
But now, he's not so sure.
In less than two hundred million years, the Hongmeng Daoist Temple has grown to become the strongest in the ninth-order universe.
Who knows what the situation would be like if he were given another billion or even tens of billions of years?
It should be understood that a cosmic cycle is ten trillion epochs, and a mere ten billion years is only one ten-millionth of a cycle.
"My orders end here."
"Now, you may each carry out your tasks."
The Dream Demon Ancestor's voice was hoarse.
"As ordered."
"As ordered!"
The demon race lords looked at each other, filled with grief and indignation, but still left quietly.
"Poison Dragon, you stay here for now."
The Dream Demon Ancestor suddenly spoke again.
"Dream Demon Ancestor".
The Lord of the Poison Dragons looked sorrowful and was extremely respectful.
At this moment, all the lords of the universes left, leaving only him and the Dream Demon Ancestor in the hall.
The Dream Demon Ancestor remained silent.
His massive body hovered in the void, his blood-red pupils staring at the Lord of Poison Dragons without any emotion, his gaze seemingly trying to see right through him.
The Lord of Poison Dragons lowered his head, feeling somewhat uneasy.
He wondered if the Dream Demon Ancestor already had some doubts about him.
After all, this whole affair started because of him, the Lord of Poison Dragons, and he was the only one who experienced it firsthand and survived.
The pressure from the strongest being in the universe is terrifying even to the Lord of the Universe.
After a long while, the Dream Demon Ancestor finally spoke.
"I didn't have time to save your teacher, do you have any resentment?"
"Dream Demon Ancestor said in a hoarse voice."
“Dream Demon Ancestor, you have your difficulties.”
The Lord of Poison Dragons sighed, saying unwillingly, "This whole affair started because of me. If I hadn't..."
"This is not your fault."
The Dream Demon Ancestor interrupted the Poison Dragon Lord, shaking his head and saying, "A supreme treasure, let alone the Zhenjiao, even I might not be able to resist its temptation." "In any case, what's done is done."
"However, there is something I need to tell you."
"Dream Demon Ancestor said calmly."
"Dream Demon Ancestor, please speak."
The Lord of Poison Dragons quickly said.
"Your teacher knew he couldn't escape this calamity, and at his last moment, he instructed me to leave all his estate to you."
The Dream Demon Ancestor looked at the Poison Dragon Lord and said encouragingly, "Poison Dragon, your talent is very high, even higher than mine and Zhenjiao's. Among all the universe lords of the demon race, you are the one with the greatest possibility of breaking through to become the strongest in the universe."
"If you can break through to become the strongest in the universe, the current predicament of my demon race will naturally be resolved."
"Dream Demon Ancestor said in a low voice."
The difference between one strongest being in the universe and two strongest beings in the universe is enormous for a race.
With only the Dream Demon Ancestor, the demon race had no choice but to shrink its power and give up a lot of benefits, which was equivalent to actively cutting off its own arm.
However, if the demon race were to regain two of the strongest beings in the universe, even if they faced a human race with ninth-tier combat power, their lives would only be a little more difficult than before.
"I see!"
Upon hearing this news, the Lord of Poison Dragons felt a pang of emotion.
Zhen Yaozu, that teacher... is perfect!
"Alright, go back and cultivate diligently."
The Dream Demon Ancestor waved its claws, a hint of weariness in its voice.
"As ordered."
The Lord of Poison Dragons nodded and transformed into a streak of light, flying out of the hall.
As soon as the Lord of Poison Dragons left, the Dream Demon Ancestor's eyes became profound.
Does he really have no doubts about the Lord of Poison Dragons?
To be honest, intuitively, the Dream Demon Ancestor had some doubts!
After all, it was all too much of a coincidence.
However, rationally speaking, the Lord of the Poison Dragon had no reason to betray the demon race.
Just now, the Dream Demon Ancestor even used special methods to examine the soul of the Poison Dragon Lord, but found nothing unusual.
After a series of internal struggles, the Dream Demon Ancestor finally chose to believe in the Lord of Poison Dragons.
Or rather, he could only trust the Lord of the Poison Dragons.
After all, as he said before, the Lord of Poison Dragons is very likely to become the second strongest being in the universe among the demon race.
It was precisely because of this that even on his deathbed, Zhen Yaozu was still thinking about the Lord of Poison Dragons.
The future hope of the demon race... lies with the Lord of Poison Dragons!
······
The territory of humankind, the primordial space-time.
Ye Chen sat high on the throne, his eyes slightly closed, a dark red battle sword lying across his lap.
"The demon race... has actually retreated!"
One of the top cosmic overlords said with great surprise.
"The Dream Demon Ancestor is such a coward!"
"They've been beaten to this extent, yet they don't even dare to fight back!"
Another high-ranking member of the Hongmeng Daoist Academy said indignantly.
Upon learning of the message conveyed by the Poison Dragon Lord, the "future star of the demon race," the general sentiment among the higher-ups of the Hongmeng Dojo was one of disappointment.
Great battles are the time to make a name for oneself and achieve great things.
As a result, the tribal war that had been so hard-won ended in a very anticlimactic manner.
"It's not over yet."
At this moment, Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes and said, "Since the demon race has retreated, then we will attack. Hear my command, activate Plan A-9!"
"Yes!"
The high-ranking members of the Hongmeng Daoist Temple all nodded in agreement.
The Hongmeng Dojo has been planning for this great battle for tens of thousands of years, and naturally, it has made contingency plans for the vast majority of scenarios.
In an instant, the super experts of the Hongmeng Dojo began to take action.
Thirty top cosmic overlords remained on their homeland to defend against a possible counterattack from the demon race.
The six cosmic lords—the Lord of Qianwu, the Lord of Ice and Fire, the Lord of Flame Demon, the Lord of Flame Meteor, the Lord of Snow Concealment, and the Lord of Star Darkness—directly invaded the native territory of the demon race!
boom! boom! boom!
Instantly, powerful auras were transmitted through the divine kingdom and descended upon the distant demon realm.
"I never imagined that I, Qianwu, would one day be able to invade the territory of the demon race."
In a vast starry sky, the majestic figure of the Lord of Qianwu appeared, his face showing great excitement.
Of the six cosmic lords involved in this operation, the Lord of Ice and Fire is too young and has not experienced the blood feud with alien races.
As for the four universe lords, Flame Demon, Flame Meteor, Snow Hidden, and Star Darkness, they were all once Ye Xingkong's seventeen great king-level soul servants, and were not human race powerhouses in essence.
Therefore, among these cosmic lords, only the Lord of Qianwu truly harbors immense hatred for the demon race.
"The starry sky I am currently in seems to be the 'Jiuyi Territory' of the demon race."
A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Lord of the Witches.
He had a very clear memory of his first fall on the original star, which was thanks to the demon clan's Venerable Jiu Yi.
This is why the Lord of Qianwu descended directly upon Jiuyi Territory this time.
I, the Qianwu, am extremely vengeful!
"According to this plan, any demon race life we encounter should be killed without hesitation."
The Lord of the Dry Witches sneered.
With a single step, he instantly teleported to the core area of the Jiuyi Territory, the "Jiuyi Secret Realm".
A "territory" of the demon race is actually similar to a cosmic kingdom of the human race.
It can be said that the Jiuyi Secret Realm gathers the most powerful people in the Jiuyi Territory.
boom!
The Lord of Qianwu stood on the starry sky, his divine body instantly growing to a height of 100,000 kilometers, resembling a god-king in the void.
Looking down at the myriad beings below, he swept his divine power and discovered that there were over a thousand immortal gods and a cosmic venerable in the entire Jiuyi Secret Realm.
"Who dares to trespass into my Jiuyi Secret Realm!"
A giant beast with a bird's body and a human face, and a pair of brown wings, flew out, its face showing a fierce and angry expression.
As the lord of the Jiuyi Territory, Venerable Jiuyi held supreme authority, and for far too long no one had dared to provoke him like this.
However, Venerable Jiuyi was destined never to see the Lord of Qianwu; he only heard a magnificent voice in his ear.
"Qianwu Dao Seal: Demons and monsters will be killed, not saved!"
boom!
A dazzling golden light burst forth, and before Venerable Jiuyi could even speak, he was forcibly refined by the golden light.
A large golden seal stretched across the void, unleashing countless golden rays that instantly enveloped an area spanning thousands of light-years.
As the Qianwu Dao Seal slowly pressed down, the entire Jiuyi Secret Realm crumbled bit by bit, as if it were the end of the world.
Countless realm lords and immortals who were cultivating lost their lives instantly under these golden lights before they even felt anything.
After a while.
"As expected of a supreme treasure, its power is truly immense!"
"It's a pity that my understanding of the secret patterns on the Qianwu Dao Seal is not deep enough, otherwise I wouldn't have only been able to unleash this little bit of power."
The Lord of the Qianwu retracted the Qianwu Dao Seal and was in a very good mood.
This was his first real battle using the Qianwu Dao Seal. Although it was just a casual match against weaker opponents, the results were still quite good.
"Judging from Venerable Jiuyi's appearance, he doesn't seem to know that Zhen Yaozu is about to die."
"No, I have to kill a few more before the demons can react!"
The Lord of the Dry Witches chuckled coldly, and then his figure disappeared into the starry sky.
The Hongmeng Dojo's higher-ups anticipated that this battle would carve out the territories of three hundred cosmic kingdoms from the demon race! (End of Chapter)
