Chapter 1126: Chapter 683
The Green Ox heard his master’s words, its eyes lit up. This was indeed a good idea. With the formation in place, the opponent couldn’t do anything to him!
That way, he wouldn’t feel pressured and could focus on defeating the pigs!
“Alright, Master, I’ll leave it to you!”
“Alright!”
Jiang Tang immediately created a formation around the Green Ox, resembling Eryao. This formation absorbed spiritual energy from the outside air to sustain itself. It didn’t require consuming mana continuously or using spirit stones for activation.
When this formation was originally designed, of course, the inspiration came from Ye Tian’s Magical Treasures!
The Green Ox flew out and positioned itself beside Eryao. Two handsome young men stood side by side!
Eryao glanced dismissively at the Green Ox standing beside him, skeptical of his usefulness. With a cold and disdainful tone, he said, “Be careful, don’t count on me to help you. With your body, don’t get humiliated and lose face!”
The Green Ox came out to assist, yet faced his companion’s sarcasm. Eryao always had a sharp tongue. However, the Green Ox didn’t feel hurt by this; instead, he regarded Eryao’s words as an indirect sign of concern.
“Don’t worry, Master has equipped me with a halo; it won’t be that easy to humiliate me!”
The people from the Invincible Sect, noticing that the young man was already a difficult-to-deal-with Divine Beast, tried to use powerful cultivation techniques against him to lure out his master!
But they discovered that the more forcefully they attacked, the stronger the rebound power became!
What frustrated them even more was that another human appeared, seemingly transformed into a demon. How could this demon-transformed human be so beautiful?
They couldn’t even identify what kind of demon he was!
The Sect Master of the Invincible Sect even suspected that this was one of the Demon King’s minions!
“Demon King, is this your doing? Trying to send us a message!”
The Sect Master of the Invincible Sect hurled accusations. The Demon King was deeply angered. He was in a location not too far away—just 200 miles—watching the situation unfold.
He observed everything using his Magic Mirror. The reason why even powerful cultivators couldn’t track down his movements was naturally due to how cunning he was, ensuring that no one could discern his whereabouts!
The legendary Demon King was known for his countless transformations. No one knew his original appearance. Not only could his physical appearance be altered, but even his entire body could transform!
A Demon King capable of such transformations naturally possessed immense energy.
He was the fabled Sovereign of Transformation; being the Demon King and ruling the Demon Realm came with abilities far surpassing those demons within his jurisdiction!
He was only one major step away from becoming an Ascender!
To become the Demon King, one needed to reach such a level that it allowed for automatic promotion. Regardless of how powerful previous Demon Realm rulers were, when a new Demon King arose, they would dominate both the former rulers and other demons!
Becoming the new Demon King demanded contributions and sacrifices, and these were determined by his abilities!
The current Demon King had just solidified his position and had already initiated a new era of conquest!
A thousand years ago, several Demon Kings with the same ambition as the current one ascended. In the past millennium, the Demon Realm had been in chaos, not merely due to the lack of human resources but also internal struggles within the Demon Realm itself!
The previous great battles among Human Cultivators, Demon Cultivators, and demons had all weakened foundational resources.
Helpless, they had no choice but to recuperate and recover. It had been several thousand years since a significant war broke out!
The previous Demon King, when taking command, prioritized stability. He led his subordinates to recuperate in secrecy, disappearing without a trace for several thousand years!
At that time, his abilities weren’t particularly formidable, but later he acquired resources and diligently cultivated to rise to the rank of Demon King. Once crowned, his ambitions soared, forcing rebellious troublemakers within his ranks into submission!
This Demon King also possessed a sharp mind. He understood that the various demon types under his command were numerous and outnumbered humans by several times. However, most demons lacked intelligence and couldn’t match human ingenuity!
Many were greedy, fighting for food and lacking unity. The Demon King, in an effort to establish order and consolidate control, utilized magical artifacts and cast curses on his subordinates while assigning tasks!
Thus, as a formidable Demon King, demons of all kinds feared and did not dare to resist him!
He might as well be the Sage of demons. However, some ambitious individuals from the Invincible Sect proposed an alliance, a mutually beneficial collaboration between the two sides.
They believed that with joint efforts, they could successfully dominate the entire Asian region!
First conquering the Eastern Netherworld, then expanding to other territories, until achieving global dominance!
The Demon King thought that partnering with them would quickly secure such conquest. He envisioned that within one or two months, they could annihilate the humans of Ten Directions City through a surprise attack.
Indeed, ordinary cultivators and humans without strong formations or sect backing were already being slaughtered.
However, the Demon King didn’t anticipate the emergence of another exceptionally handsome young man. At a glance, the Demon King could tell this was a demon in disguise!
The aura of this demon matched that of the previous young man. Though he wasn’t a Divine Beast, he had also formed a contract with a human!
This led to doubts from the Invincible Sect.
“What nonsense are you spouting? Don’t you see that’s a human? Humans with contracts operate differently from us. We would never form contracts with humans!”
The Demon King spoke with seething anger, furious at the Sect Master of the Invincible Sect for not believing him and even accusing him of deception!
Then he added, “Didn’t you see how many of my subordinates have died? You lot are hiding in your formations like turtles in their shells—none of your kind has died—and yet you have the audacity to claim we’re colluding? Do you think this is some grand conspiracy of mine? How dare you! My subordinates have died by the dozens; this act was far too tragic for mere theatrics!”
