Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1309 - 1307: Rebellion

"How could this happen..." Upon witnessing the scene before her, Xia Lalan burst into tears, her heart shattering. She felt an overwhelming sense of foreboding for the Xia Family. Never before in its history had the Xia Family faced such an overwhelming assault from demon beasts. It was evident that the intent was to erase the Xia Family from the Hidden World entirely. She simply couldn’t comprehend why the demon beasts were doing this—why they would attack the Xia Family!

This was the Xia Family where she had grown up, a place she held dear no matter what. She couldn’t bear to see anything happen to it. In an instant, the Gang Qi within her erupted, radiating a fierce, somber energy. She had already made up her mind—to rush in and fight alongside her family. Even if it meant certain death, she would do so willingly! But just as she prepared to charge, Lin Feng stopped her in her tracks.

"You’re not needed here, and it’s too dangerous for you," Lin Feng said, seeing Xia Lalan ready to fight to the death. How could he let her take such reckless action? With this scale of demon beast attack, Xia Lalan, whose strength was merely at the Infinitesimal Realm, would be of little help. She wouldn’t even make it to her family’s side before being overwhelmed. Now was not the time for impulsiveness—such actions would only result in needless casualties.

Watching the countless demon beasts assaulting the Xia Family from sky to ground with no end in sight, Lin Feng’s brow furrowed slightly. He immediately turned to the two Demon Kings and issued a curt order: "These are your underlings. You deal with them!"

The two Demon Kings were already seething with rage, feeling utterly humiliated in Lin Feng’s presence. After his command, they didn’t utter a word of protest and charged straight toward the outskirts of the Sea of Demon Beasts. In an instant, their forms reverted to their original bodies—massive in size, stretching over a hundred feet. Their towering figures starkly contrasted with the smaller demon beasts swarming the battlefield.

Upon seeing the two Demon Kings personally step forward, Xia Lalan and the children felt a slight sense of relief. After all, these two had once ruled over the demon beasts. If all went as expected, they should be able to disperse the horde quickly. Only then could the Xia Family find a chance to regroup and return home.

"ROAR!"

"ROAR!"

Two deafening roars echoed across the battlefield, coming from the two Demon Kings in their fully restored forms. The thunderous sound immediately overpowered the cacophony from the Sea of Demon Beasts. Some smaller demon beasts closer to the source were instantly stunned unconscious. For a fleeting moment, all the demon beasts froze in place, their gazes locking onto the two Demon Kings, and an eerie silence prevailed.

Seeing this, the two Demon Kings nodded in satisfaction. It seemed their subordinates hadn’t forgotten them—this was a promising sign. Just as they were about to command the beasts to retreat, an unexpected turn of events took place. From out of nowhere, faint and indistinct whispers fluttered through the air. In the blink of an eye, the once-calm demon beasts erupted into a frenzy, turning toward the two Demon Kings and bellowing furiously!

"ROAR!"

"ROAR!"

"ROAR!"

The combined deafening roars of these countless demon beasts, while weaker than those of the Demon Kings individually, became overwhelming when united. The soundwave abruptly forced the two Demon Kings back by several steps. Stunned, the Demon Kings reeled, questioning what had gone awry with their subordinates. Did these beasts no longer recognize them? How dare they act so insolently!

Utterly enraged at the insolence, the two Demon Kings exchanged a glance. Without another word, their demon energy flared, signaling the onset of combat as they plunged directly into the Sea of Demon Beasts!

"Bang!"

"Crash!"

"Roar!"

In mere moments, the two Demon Kings tore through their enemies with unstoppable force. Any demon beast that came into contact with them was instantly flung into the air. Some bold enough to retaliate were unceremoniously knocked unconscious. The sheer brutality of the scene shattered the confidence of the surrounding beasts, which began to waver—none daring to rush back toward the Demon Kings.

The troops of demon beasts gradually regained clarity. The red haze in their eyes began to recede, and their minds returned, finally recognizing the two Demon Kings’ identities. A few demons, trembling in fear, attempted to retreat. After all, having been in awe of the Demon Kings in the past, they now quivered at their return.

Seeing this retreat embolden others, many more demon beasts prepared to back away. They realized they stood no chance against the insurmountable power of the two Demon Kings, whose dominance far surpassed theirs.

But just as the beasts began their retreat, disaster struck again!

"SLAM!"

"THWACK!"

Out of nowhere, several gigantic, mutated wolf-like demon beasts surged forward from the rear ranks. Each of these Exotic Monster Beasts spanned over fifty feet in length and ten feet in height, their bluish-green skeletal armor shimmering with eerie azure demon energy. These double-headed behemoths wasted no time. In mere seconds, they crushed the retreating beasts beneath their massive claws while roaring, "Stay put, you ****** cowards! If anyone dares take another step back, kill them without mercy!"

At the entrance of these new arrivals, the legs of the other demon beasts buckled in terror. No one dared retreat anymore. Instead, they gathered around the Exotic Monster Beasts, forming a united front against the two Demon Kings. Their eyes, which had been clearing moments before, turned crimson once more.

With their newfound control over the battlefield, the Exotic Monster Beasts sneered in contempt at the Demon Kings and bellowed, "You two decrepit fools! Didn’t you go off to follow some human? Old relics like you still have the audacity to return? This place isn’t yours to rule anymore. Stick your nose in where it doesn’t belong, and don’t blame us if you meet an unkind end!"

"If not us, then who? You pitiful outsiders?" The Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon scoffed coldly, glaring at the Exotic Monster Beasts. It was curious about these intruders. Their brief absence had been enough for the Lost Forest to fall into foreign hands. It wanted to see what creatures dared snatch their domain.

The Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon studied the intruding behemoths intently, noting their unfamiliarity. These monsters weren’t native to the Lost Forest, and such creatures shouldn’t have existed elsewhere in the Hidden World. It began pondering their origin.

Meanwhile, the Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger stood silently nearby, lost in similar thoughts. It, too, couldn’t fathom the identification or origins of these peculiar creatures, especially given their mental-controlling abilities. Such strange powers were unheard of.

In a sudden burst of massive energy, dark flames erupted from the Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger’s body, cloaking it in an aura of black fire. Its majestic and terrifying presence dominated the surroundings. It had already made up its mind—these Exotic Monster Beasts must not be allowed to live. Once the battle began, it would kill them immediately!

Before the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon could speak again, a voice called out from afar.

"You two decrepit fools have the nerve to return? After becoming slaves to humans, you don’t deserve to call yourselves Demon Kings!"

As the voice faded, a massive figure charged forward—a colossal Redflame Sky-Transforming Leopard, nearly seventy feet long with a towering twenty-foot height. Its body radiated an ominous crimson demon energy, with two enormous scarlet bone spikes protruding from its shoulders. This creature was none other than their former subordinate—Redflame Sky-Transforming Leopard!

The sight of the Redflame Sky-Transforming Leopard filled the two Demon Kings with fury. It had once been the weakest among their five Chief Steward Demon Kings, but now it had the gall to challenge them—it was outrageous!

"Old Five! Have you ****** had enough of living? How dare you lead the beasts in rebellion and speak to us this way? I will say this only once—surrender now, disband the beasts, and I’ll spare your life. But if you don’t, I swear I’ll kill you and destroy every one of your lackeys!" The Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon roared, its rage boiling over. It could hardly believe Old Five’s rebellion.

"Old Five, out of consideration for your past loyalty, stand down and disperse the beasts immediately. If you refuse, don’t blame us for what happens next!" The Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger snarled ferociously. Its fury mirrored its counterpart’s, its demon energy blazing like a physical inferno, burning everything in its vicinity.

"You decrepit dogs—you oppressed us enough in the past. Did you think things were still the same today? If it’s a fight you want, then let’s fight! Enough chatter—since you’ve shown your faces, don’t expect to leave alive! Attack! Kill them both!" The Redflame Sky-Transforming Leopard spat venomously before commanding the beasts to charge.

In an instant, the demon beasts focused all their rage on the two Demon Kings, hurling themselves toward them in a frenzy!

"BOOM!"

"CRASH!"

"SMASH!"

The two Demon Kings were utterly enraged by the demon beasts’ audacity and dived head-on into the fray. Their immense power clashed against the endless tide of beasts. The chaos that ensued turned the sky and earth into a whirlwind of destruction. The roars and screams of demon beasts rang out like deafening thunder, reverberating across the valley. Countless smaller beasts were sent flying, their bodies crashing into the distance. Still, the others pressed forward relentlessly, their blood-red eyes blazing with unyielding determination.

Though the ordinary beasts couldn’t harm the Demon Kings directly, their sheer numbers disrupted their fight against the Exotic Monster Beasts and the Redflame Sky-Transforming Leopard. At last, driven by desperation, the Demon Kings chose to slaughter a group of these rampant beasts, but still, wave upon wave charged at them, leaving both kings increasingly frustrated.

What irked the Demon Kings most was an unsettling realization—the Redflame Sky-Transforming Leopard, whom they had once dismissed as insignificant, now possessed strength at the level of an Intermediate Demon King. Combined with the peculiar abilities of the Exotic Monster Beasts, the opposition posed a genuine threat. The battle grew fiercer with each moment as wounds—their first in ages—began to appear on the Demon Kings. This only fueled their savage ferocity further, driving the fight to ever deadlier extremes.

They dared to rebel?

How was this even possible? These were the two Demon Kings!
