Chapter 509: Demonic Royal Guard!
A terrifying magma hand blocked out the heavens, emitting an astonishing temperature. Even ordinary Sage-level warriors felt their hearts gripped with fear, devoid of any courage to resist!
“Esteemed One, please intervene!”
Heavenly Fire Sage shouted aloud, and in the next moment, the void suddenly tore apart. A demonic hand abruptly emerged, colliding head-on with the magma hand!
“Boom!!!”
A powerful shockwave swept across heaven and earth. The void violently trembled, revealing crack after crack.
Under such a collision, Fire Heart issued a stifled groan, her figure staggered as she retreated, clearly at a disadvantage.
“Daring to cause chaos here, I see that you’ve grown tired of life.”
Following this, a shadowy black figure stepped out from the rift. He basically looked human, his face pale as jade, with the appearance of a normal middle-aged man. However, from his neck down, it resembled as though it had been inked, having only one color – black. He looked quite eerie.
“Hail the Esteemed One!”
At this scene, Heavenly Fire Sage did not hesitate to kneel down. The strong warriors behind him followed suit, perfectly embodying the image of servile dogs.
“Filthy creature!”
Fire Heart’s eyes flashed with a look of disdain as she scolded without mercy.
“Ha!”
Heavenly Fire Sage was not ashamed but rather proud and loudly protested.
“What did I do wrong? I only want to grow stronger. Do you have any idea how humiliated I felt when that old man forced me to kneel with my head bowed? It was the adult of the Demonic Race who acknowledged me, saw through my inner void, and recognized my longing for power!”
His eyes were already filled with madness as he continued, “In this world, everything is false. Only strength is real. Without the help of the Demonic Esteemed One, I could never have become an Intermediate Sage!”
“But now everything has changed. From now on, I will become stronger. One day, I will make that old man kneel before me, just like before!”
“Delusional nonsense!”
Fire Heart couldn’t help but laughed coldly, “With your talent, you could never catch up to the Ancestral Master, even by selling your soul or burning your flesh, there will never be any hope. You’re nothing but a dog on its knees, so what makes you think you can reach the pinnacle!”
“You shut up!!!”
Heavenly Fire Sage lost his cool, his face distorted as he roared fiercely and prepared to attack Fire Heart.
With a loud boom!
He unleashed his entire power, astonishingly reaching the peak of the Fourth Layer of Sage, just as he had said, having touched the edge of the Intermediate Sage level – only one step away from crossing the threshold!
“You die!”
Fiery heat surged from his body, transforming into a fierce-looking fire dragon, whose mouth held a pitch-black dragon pearl formed from condensed demonic energy. The two combined in a very eerie way!
“Roar!!!”
The Dragon roared, fangs bared and claws extended as it lunged towards Fire Heart, only to be met with a disdainful glare.
“Authority, extinguished!”
A snap of fingers sounded, instantly causing the fire dragon to dissipate. Surrounding Fire Heart, blazing red flames formed a wall, evaporating the demonic energy into nothingness.
“How is this possible?”
Heavenly Fire Sage’s face showed shock. From his perspective, even if Fire Heart had the advantage of geographical power, she shouldn’t be able to effortlessly nullify his all-out attack like this.
But the reality slapped him hard in the face.
To flaunt fire techniques before the Fire Authority was not only an act of overestimating oneself but also a form of bringing shame upon oneself!
Initially, he had wanted to take the initiative in front of the Demonic Messenger to ingratiate himself. Instead, he ended up making an embarrassing spectacle!
“Jiu Hua’s strength, lend me your power!”
Seizing this opportunity, Fire Heart’s body was illuminated with a mark, a token of communication with the Great Nine Huā Formation, allowing her to directly borrow its power.
A loud boom! Her aura surged again, entering a dimension completely different from her opponent.
Fifth Layer of Sage, Intermediate Sage!
“No good!!”
Heavenly Fire Sage’s face turned pale. Just as he was about to retreat, he was locked down by an overwhelming aura, leaving him no place to escape.
Suddenly, a clear and resounding voice cut through heaven and earth. At Fire Heart’s back, the illusion of a thousand-zhang-long fire phoenix rose, flapping its wings and ascending into the air, radiating a terrifying heat capable of incinerating everything!
“Fire Phoenix Wildfire!!”
As this move was unleashed, it seemed as if the sun had fallen. The dazzling light was so bright that it made everyone shield their eyes. Heavenly Fire Sage, first in its path, felt his essence boiling, almost evaporating, smelling the stench of death.
“Esteemed One, save me!!!”
He cried out, filled with shame for how Fire Heart had made him lose face before his master!
“Waste of space!”
A cold voice responded. In an instant, black electrical arcs zipped through the air, forming a dense net that fell squarely over the Fire Phoenix!
In a flash, the Phoenix screamed, as if in great agony. It quivered violently and quickly began to disintegrate and dissipate, eventually disappearing without a trace.
This was the result of absolute power, rendering any trick ineffective.
Now, it was Fire Heart’s turn to look surprised. From those black electrical rays, she felt a force that chilled her to the bone. This person was absolutely not someone she could contend with.
“Excellent, excellent, not unworthy of being the embodiment of an Authority, to reach the level of an Intermediate Sage in your growing phase, you are quite suitable to become a part of my collection!”
The Demonic Messenger’s voice was raspy as he stepped down from the void, step by step, his gaze directed at Fire Heart as if she were a bird in a cage, as if she had already become his possession.
“Who exactly are you?”
Fire Heart asked with extraordinary caution.
“Oh my, what rudeness, I almost forgot to introduce myself.”
“I am a member of the Demonic Imperial Guard, specially permitted by the royal authority to use the character ‘Ma’ in my name. You may respectfully address me as ‘Ze Mo’!”
Hearing this, Fire Heart’s heart shuddered slightly.
The Imperial Guards of the Demonic Race had a status above the Nine Great Celestial Kings, being the true core members of the Demonic Race, with incalculable strength. Unexpectedly, they had appeared in front of her.
“There’s no need to hold on so hard. You can feel even more despair. Go ahead and show a look of fear, this is more befitting my status!”
With one step forward, the void trembled, and an astonishing presence swept out, causing Fire Heart to stagger back repeatedly.
“Is that all you’ve got to make me despair? You’re not qualified!”
“Truly stubborn. Your current strength seems to be at the Fifth Layer of Sage. Even with your hidden cards, I doubt you can reach the Sixth Layer.”
“What do you intend to say!” Fire Heart frowned and asked.
“Hmph, since you’re so obstinate, I’ll give you a reference point. This is my weakest state. My realm? The peak of the Sixth Layer of Sage!”
“Indeed, indeed, that’s the look I wanted to see. You’ve finally realized your fear, haven’t you? But I think you still aren’t despairing enough, so I’m about to tell you another piece of information!”
“Individuals like me from the top tier of the Demonic Race can actually transform. Every transformation significantly boosts my power, and I can transform twice more!”
Seemingly to verify the authenticity of his words, the next moment, Ze Mo’s body emitted an evil glow.
His black aura gradually converged as six eyes grew on his body. His nails became long and sharp, his eyes like a blood pool, and his mouth sported fangs, turning him into a true monster!
At the same time, his strength broke through bounds, reaching the Seventh Layer – a true Advanced Sage!
Right at this moment, Fire Heart was plunged into a true predicament!
