Chapter 123: I’m no longer human, Guest Senior!
This scene was exceedingly horrifying, and everyone simply watched; not a single person dared to step forward to stop what was happening.
Even Zhou Tong stood off to the side with his hands behind his back, an observer of the events unfolding.
“AAAHHH… Cursed human beast, how dare you consume our essence. Do you even know the consequences of your actions?!”
Tunyuan Demon Marshal was both shocked and enraged. In the past, it was always him consuming humans, but never had he imagined that one day he would become a meal for the Human Race.
“Annoying thing, you’re the one who deserves death the most!”
Zhao Wutian snapped; he bit down hard on the other’s neck, instantly consuming him in one gulp.
“AAAHHH…”
The mighty Demon Marshal let out but a single scream before being completely devoured.
“Wait… we can still negotiate.”
Tuntian Demon Sovereign felt panic and pleaded for mercy quickly.
“There’s nothing to negotiate. Hand over your power!”
“Cursed be!”
A look of resentment rose in the Demon Sovereign’s eyes as he hurled the Heavenly Demonic Net, intending to use a Sacred Artifact to kill Zhao Wutian!
“HAHAHA… A damaged Sacred Artifact is of no concern. I’ll not be polite and take it then.”
Zhao Wutian loudly jeered as he summoned boundless blood energy, pressing it down upon the demon net.
A snap was heard, and the great net was torn into shreds, then swallowed by him.
“You actually dare…”
The Demon Sovereign widened his eyes, not expecting the opponent to be so reckless.
“AAAAHHHH…”
Zhao Wutian immediately spat out mouthfuls of blood.
Unsurprisingly, the Saintly power rampaged inside him, surging about as if attempting to burst him apart.
“Die!”
Everyone and the Demon Sovereign rarely agreed on anything, but they silently prayed together in this moment.
Yet contrary to their wishes, shortly after, Zhao Wutian actually fully sublimated the Saintly power. His demonic energy surged like a tsunami, directly elevating him to the peak level of a Semi-Sage!
“And off you go too!”
With his hands wielding great force, he tore the Demon Sovereign into two halves!
“How dare you go so far. My great Demonic Race will not let you go unpunished. Just wait, soon you’ll descend into hell to accompany me!”
Tuntian Demon Sovereign struggled as brilliant light erupted from his brow center.
Suddenly, a mini-version of himself jumped out from his Spiritual Platform — this was his essence soul.
As long as a cultivator reached the Semi-Sage level, they could condense their soul essence. If the soul essence was preserved, the cultivator had the chance of resurrection.
“Want to escape? Not that easy!”
Zhao Wutian coldly smirked as his blood energy transformed into a cage, trying to capture the essence soul.
However, the essence soul of the Demon Sovereign did not struggle. Instead, it rapidly expanded.
Soul, activate explosive mode!
Black light burst forth, and a powerful information ripple rapidly spread, vanishing into the ends of the heavens in the blink of an eye.
“With my soul, I call forth my king. May the demon’s might descend, rivers of blood shall flow!!”
The Demon Sovereign’s voice echoed through the void, causing Zhou Tong’s lips to curve slightly upward.
The truly big fish was finally about to take the bait.
Sure enough, in the chaotic, dark, and gloomy world beyond the nine heavens, there were three terrifying figures waiting.
“Ninth Celestial King, are your three subordinates reliable?”
“You old eight, always doubting everything. It’s just a puny mortal empire, isn’t it? The three of the Swallowing Sky easily handled the mission! Isn’t that right, seventh brother?”
“Hopefully so…” said the only one sitting amongst the three, the Seventh Celestial King, in a grave tone.
“If we can capture the dragon veins of the Heavenly Dao Domain, our Demonic Race doesn’t have to stay in this accursed place. When that time comes, this will be our base, and conquering the entire Human Race will only be a matter of time!”
“If that’s the case, brother seven, why do you still look so worried?”
The Eighth Celestial King laughed while teasing.
“Among the Human Race, there are also world-shaking warriors; I just fear they make too much noise, alerting the Sages of the Human Race!”
“Haha… impossible, absolutely impossible. You’re being overly cautious, seventh brother. A place as remote as the Heavenly Dao Domain, how could there be…”
Before he completed his sentence, the Ninth Celestial King froze on the spot, his face full of disbelief.
“What’s wrong?”
“Swallowing Sky has actually been killed! And he died an extremely miserable death. His essence soul could not even transmit more information!”
The eyes of the Ninth Celestial King turned bloody: “Whoever dares to kill my subordinate, I will grind them into mincemeat!”
With that, the Ninth Celestial King tore through space and vanished from the spot.
“Hmph… how reckless the ninth one is. Always so hasty.”
The Eighth Celestial King didn’t care; a Demon Sovereign wasn’t worth his extra thoughts.
“You should go too. The ninth one might not be steady enough alone.” The Seventh Celestial King said, frowning.
“Come on… do we really need to mobilize two Demon Kings for this? Isn’t that a bit…”
The Eighth Celestial King closed his mouth mid-sentence because he saw the chilling gaze of the seventh.
“Fine fine fine… I’ll go, guaranteed to return victorious within an hour!”
Watching the eighth leave, another half-moon passed before the Seventh Celestial King finally rose from his seat.
The mighty Demon King paced back and forth, his brows furrowed deeply into a “C” shape.
“Something’s off. This king has a sense of foreboding, as if a great calamity is about to befall!”
“No… even two of those guys aren’t enough. This king shall go as well to ensure absolute certainty!”
…
Above the Imperial Capital, the enemy of the human race was now only one person: Zhao Wutian, who was half-human half-demon.
“So terrifying an aura, is this still a Semi-Sage? I feel as if he might break through to Sage-level any moment!”
Some of the human warriors trembled and said fearfully.
“Everyone, do not fear. No matter how strong he is, he is only a Semi-Sage. This emperor shall take the lead and eliminate the demon!”
Qian Miaoyu was the epitome of a true Empress, imposing and imperious, unleashing the might of a ruler as soon as she acted.
The others were not to be outdone either. Their auras rose, and they all attacked Zhao Wutian.
The outcome was predictable. Even if one is strong, two hands can’t fight against many. Thus, Zhao Wutian was struck again; his body was torn apart!
“It’s not that big a deal, like this, we’ll surely win!”
Someone was invigorated and said so.
“Is that so?”
Zhao Wutian’s sarcastic voice came from afar, and before their eyes, his fragmented body instantly restored itself.
“How is this possible?”
“Hahaha… no wonder about the demon origin. This regenerative capacity is truly unparalleled!”
Saying this, his gaze shifted toward Zhou Tong.
“Guest Senior… you’re the only one I respect here. Having seen my perfected form, how do you feel?”
“Pathetic!”
Zhou Tong remarked, “You’ve fallen. How could you willingly become a monstrous creature?”
“Hmm… you know not. This lord has realized a truth from a long life: the more humans plot and calculate meticulously, the greater the chance they’ll fail due to unforeseen circumstances!”
“Therefore, humans are limited. To become stronger, we must break through limits…”
“What exactly do you mean?” Zhou Tong frowned and asked.
“Hahaha… I’m no longer human, Guest Senior!!”
Zhao Wutian went completely insane. Suddenly, his back ripped apart, and ten blood masses separated sequentially, each emitting an aura comparable to that of a Semi-Sage!
“Let my blood slaves have some fun with you!”
Seeing this, the faces of many of the Semi-Sages paled.
…
Down below, You Jingfeng looked serious, forcibly suppressing the natural impulse to act.
Suddenly, he noticed Mo Liushu standing beside him.
“Girl… as a Human Race warrior, since you have possession of a Sacred Artifact, why aren’t you contributing your effort?”
Upon hearing this, Mo Liushu looked up. When she saw the Little Demoness, her expression immediately turned grim.
“My affairs are none of your concern. As for you, hand over that little wretch beside you immediately, or don’t blame me for being unfriendly!”
