Roar—
With a single furious roar, heaven and earth trembled, the demonic mountain shattered, and the young powerhouses were pulverized.
The powerhouses' expressions changed. It was too terrifying. With just the force of a roar, it had shattered the demonic mountain nest and annihilated several young powerhouses. It was terrifying to an utterly shocking degree.
Whoosh—
The red-haired monster soared into the sky. Standing two zhang tall, its ferocious aura blotted out the heavens. Accompanied by rolling sheets of bloody rain and the worshipful prostrations of numerous alien race demons, it shot forth with a whoosh, arriving before a young prodigy at the Divine Transformation Realm with extreme speed. It was like a crimson lightning bolt traversing heaven and earth, leaving no time to react.
Immediately, its massive hand grabbed that young prodigy. Before he could even scream in horror, it tore him in two with a sickening rip, flesh and blood flying everywhere.
Then it stuffed the halves into its enormous, fang-filled maw, chewing with wet, crunching sounds, blood seeping out. It was a gruesome and horrifying sight.
Hiss—
All the powerhouses couldn't help but suck in a cold breath, their eyes wide as they stared in horror at the scene before them.
Too terrifying. It was like a true demon had emerged into the world, tearing apart a Divine Transformation Realm prodigy with such ease. It was unbelievably fearsome.
Then, the red-haired monster's cold, bloodthirsty gaze fell upon the other young powerhouses. Even the kings felt a chill run down their spines, for this red-haired monster was not ordinarily powerful and terrifying. Strong as they were, they deeply felt they were no match for it.
Whoosh—
A flash of crimson light, and the red-haired monster vanished in an instant. The next moment, it appeared before another young prodigy.
This person, while not a king, was in a way quite powerful, standing at the third level of the Divine Transformation Realm or above, much stronger than the prodigy just killed. He was only slightly inferior to the kings.
"The Sun and Moon Rise from the Sea!"
A vast, turbulent sea materialized behind him, a boundless ocean boiling with rolling waves, stirring up a thousand towering breakers. A bright, clear moon also hung in the sky, casting brilliant, resplendent light.
However, even though this young powerhouse was startled, he rapidly circulated his divine power. Divine techniques bloomed, Dao principles manifested, seeking to resist. But the red-haired monster merely reached out with a single large, hairy hand. All the Dao principles and divine techniques spontaneously disintegrated. The vast sea was annihilated, the bright moon shattered. There was simply no way to withstand it.
Two thick fingers pinched him. He cried out urgently for mercy and rescue, but it was useless. Because the next moment, with a sickening crack, his head directly exploded, red and white mixing as brain matter and blood flew everywhere. He was dead.
Resolving two powerful Divine Transformation Realm young prodigies so quickly made everyone's hearts tremble. It was too strong, simply an opponent that could not be fought head-on.
Then, the corpse of this young prodigy was also stuffed into the red-haired monster's mouth, being devoured and torn into its belly alive. Pale brain matter and bloodstains splattered onto the hair around its mouth, making it appear exceptionally chilling and terrifying.
"Run!"
One young prodigy finally couldn't bear the fear and roared, fleeing like the wind, utterly unwilling to face such a fearsome red-haired monster. It was terrifying to an unknown degree compared to even the kings.
The other young powerhouses were the same, not daring to face it.
Even the kings quickly soared into the sky, not wanting to linger, deeply sensing the terror of this red-haired monster. At the same time, they used communication tokens to call for their sect elders to come to the rescue.
If a Saint Lord were to come, then everything would be fearless.
"Everyone, don't be too afraid. Although it resembles the red-haired monster that attacked the Divine Fall Mountain Range before, it shouldn't be that one. It's far from that powerful," one king spoke up, having sensed the red-haired monster's level of power. "If we join forces, we can definitely slay this monster."
Even so, the other young powerhouses were still terrified, because the previous two had been instantly torn apart without any ability to resist. They feared that even in a chaotic melee, they might not have a chance of success.
Whoosh—
As if teleporting, the red-haired monster crossed dozens of zhang in the next instant, arriving like lightning before a king—specifically, the Nine Netherworlds King from the Nine Netherworlds Sacred Land. Its large, hideous claw directly swatted over, carrying terrifying power, crimson lightning crackling, a bloody, foul wind rushing forth.
The Nine Netherworlds King sensed a terrifying crisis. A phantom deity image appeared, the Nine Netherworlds deity manifested. Yin-cold, baleful power transformed into a divine sea churning and sweeping through the void. A scythe of death also swept across.
Furthermore, chains of cold, stern order shot out like lightning, entangling the red-haired monster's body, seeking to seal its form.
"Hmph, today I shall test this monster of yours, see if it's truly that formidable," the Nine Netherworlds King snorted coldly, an even more fearsome aura spreading.
Boom—
Heaven and earth shook. The red-haired monster was too terrifying. The chains of order shattered inch by inch, unable to confine it. With a single slap, it sent the Nine Netherworlds King flying. Even though the phantom deity image of the Nine Netherworlds deity appeared, it cracked and crumbled. He was simply far from being a match.
But he wasn't killed, only coughing up large mouthfuls of blood, suffering heavy injuries.
"What a terrifying red-haired monster. It's not an ordinary alien race creature, far more terrifying. Kings are no match for it."
The kings' expressions changed, their pupils contracting sharply, yet they felt slightly reassured. Because, as that king had just said, this wasn't the red-haired monster that had plundered Saints in the Divine Fall Mountain Range. Otherwise, that slap would have been enough to easily crush the Nine Netherworlds King.
"Everyone, let's attack! Together, let's kill this monster!"
Several kings quickly reached a consensus, charging forward without hesitation. They immediately unleashed their strongest divine techniques, ignited their divine power, summoned powerful divine principles and Dao marks, threw heaven and earth into turmoil, and actively attacked the red-haired monster.
Boom—
A terrifying battle erupted there. The void trembled, the earth cracked, divine radiance shot into the sky.
A moment later, the several great kings were successively blasted back, each coughing blood at the corners of their mouths, sustaining injuries, though none were severe. From this, they deduced the red-haired monster's strength.
Very powerful, comparable to Immortal True Kings of the level of Ye Chen and Ye Gucheng.
It was not an opponent that could not be fought. If all the kings present joined forces, they could definitely slay such a red-haired monster.
Boom—
Before the kings could join forces, a cold light instantly flashed, streaking across the sky, striking the red-haired monster with the speed of lightning. It immediately sent this alien race creature flying, even tearing open the skin and flesh of its right arm, leaving a deep, bone-visible wound. Purple blood splattered out, filled with a sinister corrosive power that turned the ground's stones into green smoke.
It was Ye Gucheng who had made a move. Majestic and imposing, with black hair cascading over his shoulders, he was like an emperor touring the world. He strode forward, sword fingers raised, sword radiance ringing sharply.
This Immortal True King from the imperial clan made people feel powerful and also reassured.
At least he could injure the red-haired monster.
"Grrr... you dare injure me!"
The red-haired monster roared, glaring coldly at Ye Gucheng. Clearly angered by this injury, it suddenly charged at Ye Gucheng. Moreover, its crimson hairs stood on end, transforming into countless crimson needles that flew out, shooting towards Ye Gucheng.
It was like sheets of bloody rain shooting forth like lightning, each needle containing terrifying poison.
In the sky, mournful crimson lightning also began to boil, rumbling like thunder, accompanying the red-haired monster's attack.
Ye Gucheng's body was like a divine sword, sword energy soaring to the sky. Ten thousand sword energies surged and rang sharply. He operated ten thousand sword energies to slash out, colliding with the crimson rain, exploding with destructive divine energy.
At the same time, Ye Gucheng attacked. His entire person moved with extreme speed. Sword fingers raised, one terrifying sword radiance after another shot into the sky, splitting the clouds and the sky. He launched a fierce assault, attacking the red-haired monster and engaging in intense combat.
The kings watched with trembling hearts. That red-haired monster, which could slap a king flying, was actually unable to gain the upper hand. It was being held in check by Ye Gucheng. One terrifying sword energy after another surged, tearing apart heaven and earth, wantonly blooming, stirring the world. Countless people watched with hearts trembling.
Ye Gucheng was too powerful, truly worthy of being the contemporary Immortal True King. He was simply peerlessly terrifying. At this moment, making his move, he was like an ancient Sword Venerable striking—a single sword's light chilling, illuminating all realms, splitting heaven and earth.
However, the red-haired monster was also excessively terrifying. The hair all over its body was incomparably hard and sharp. No matter how overwhelming Ye Gucheng's sword energy was, it could hardly injure it at all. Only showers of sparks erupted. It was powerful to an utterly chaotic degree.
"Yue, please make a move. Join forces with True King Ye Gucheng. We can definitely quickly slay the red-haired monster," one king spoke. The other kings all nodded.
One Immortal True King was already able to restrain the red-haired monster. If another joined, they could definitely quickly suppress and kill it.
But Ye Chen shook his head and refused. "Ye Gucheng can handle it alone. We cannot interfere."
"Yue, you are despicable, intentionally depleting True King Ye Gucheng's strength. With one waning and the other waxing, after this battle, when you fight him, you can overpower and defeat him, right?" a king immediately spoke up to reprimand, his voice shaking heaven and earth. It was Zhao Wudao.
Previously, part of his kingly blood had been taken by Ye Chen. Although no longer suppressed, he was already very weak. Now he seized the opportunity to speak, seeking to plant a bad seed in everyone's minds, preparing for a future joint condemnation of Ye Chen by the kings.
But Ye Chen merely glanced at him indifferently. "If you don't want to die, shut up obediently. This is no place for riff-raff like you to speak."
"You—"
Zhao Wudao was furious. Damnable Great Demon King Yue, actually looking down on him so much, treating him like riff-raff.
But the next moment, he suddenly felt a bone-chilling cold, a terrifying sense of threat descending upon him. His expression changed drastically. Just as he was about to quickly retreat, a tall, slender figure appeared before him like lightning.
Before he could even think of resisting, because a hand had already firmly grasped his neck, gripping tightly, lifting him high up as if casually picking up a chick. The icy gaze made him instantly feel chilled to the bone, utterly powerless to resist.
He only heard Ye Chen say coldly, "If you dare utter another word, I won't mind resolving you immediately."
