Chapter 1394: The Arch-Nemesis of the Demon Clan
In less than two hours, Long Tian was brought to the Yuan Star by Chen Kunpeng.
Chen Kunpeng's cultivation was profoundly deep. Even standing outside the star and looking from afar, he could see most of the movements on the Yuan Star. The streaks of black mist could not escape his eyes.
After observing for a few breaths, Chen Kunpeng's plump face turned slightly, a kind smile emerging in his eyes.
"Benefactor."
"Since you have the heart to eradicate demons and save the world, you should do it yourself. Remember, evil must be completely eradicated. Do not disappoint this poor monk's painstaking efforts to guide people toward kindness."
With just one glance, Long Tian felt a chill down his spine, his mouth twitching as he listened!
With his intelligence, he naturally understood the underlying meaning. This person was not only forcing him to do it himself but was also going to monitor the entire process from here...
Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He knew very well that with this monk's methods, if he dared to slack off or play tricks, he would definitely meet a bad end. Perhaps in the next moment, he would be "purified" by the other party!
Either he died, or his demon kin on the Yuan Star died!There was absolutely no third choice!
Where the hell did this monk come from? He was so ruthless he barely seemed human!
Looking at that fake smile on the fat face, Long Tian felt a chill that almost froze his bones. Startled into a shudder, he quietly put away all his ulterior motives.
Since things had come to this, he could only bite the bullet and force an apologetic smile.
"Yes, yes, yes..."
"What the Grandmaster says is absolutely right. Eradicating evil completely is the true path. I will remember it!"
After bowing with a smile, Long Tian turned to look at the Yuan Star.
In just a few breaths, the hesitation and apprehension in his eyes were replaced by ruthlessness. Gritting his teeth, he charged straight ahead!
Watching the murderous streak of light dart into the Yuan Star, Chen Kunpeng pressed his palms together, the smile in his eyes deepening.
"Excellent, excellent."
A Buddhist chant echoed through the sea of stars, while blood mist surged everywhere on the Yuan Star!
All of this happened too suddenly. Such profoundly unfathomable battles were absolutely beyond the perception of ordinary people. Not to mention the various realms of the Yuan Star having no reaction, even the demon race's lair had yet to receive any news.
Deep in the universe, within pure darkness, a tall tower still stood proudly.
Upon a pitch-black throne, the Supreme Venerable who ruled the demon race rested his eyes, quietly listening to the various reports in the great hall.
"Reporting to Your Highness, all stars have been deployed according to the plan. Once the Yuan Star is activated, many subordinate stars of the same level will fall under our race's rule!"
"Reporting to Your Highness, Lord Totem has yet to hand down a divine decree. Should we wait a few more days first?"
"Forgive us, Your Highness. Our three clans have searched all neighboring star systems but have not found the whereabouts of the Divine Maiden Chi Li, nor have we found out who is responsible. Please punish us, Your Highness!"
...
In the center of the great hall, several figures with terrifying auras knelt and waited quietly, their expressions extremely uneasy.
On both sides stood hundreds of demon leaders, equally solemn.
The respectful gazes of everyone present gathered, finally waiting for the dark figure on the throne to open his blood-red eyes!
Boom!
The moment those blood-red eyes opened, overwhelming pressure swept through the hall, startling the kneeling demon lords into bowing even lower. The terrifying aura of a superior was unmatched!
The Supreme Venerable spoke slowly, his voice like heavenly music resonating through their very souls.
"Our race has lain dormant until now, expending countless efforts to achieve today's situation. Right now, the grand scheme is more important than anything else. All other matters shall be temporarily shelved!"
"Continue to investigate the whereabouts of the Divine Maiden, but there is no need to expend too much energy. No matter how capable the other party is, they should still fear the might of our demon race and would not dare to do anything untoward to the Divine Maiden. As for Lord Totem, I will personally inform him of everything."
"The most urgent task at hand is to launch the plan for all stars. The first step is to take down the Yuan Star. We must succeed in one strike!"
"How are the deployments on the Yuan Star going now?"
With a few deep words, he clarified the priorities. The admiration in the eyes of the demon lords in the hall grew even stronger. The entire demon race felt honored to be led by such a brilliantly talented lord.
A surge of fighting spirit echoed through the hall. The demon lords exuded a bloody, murderous aura, as if they could no longer wait to spread the demon race's fearsome reputation throughout the universe!
As his voice fell, a minotaur demon leader, over ten zhang tall, stepped forward and bowed!
"Reporting to Your Highness!"
"Everything on the Yuan Star is going according to plan. Although there was a minor accident earlier for unknown reasons, resulting in the loss of some combat power, your subordinate has already sent enough elites to fill the gap."
"Now, with my Bull Demon clan lying in ambush on the Yuan Star, and the High Priest monitoring the surroundings, there will absolutely be no more accidents. It is already under our race's control!"
"As long as Your Highness gives the order, my Bull Demon clan will attack en masse. Changing the heavens and the earth will happen in the blink of an eye!"
The deep, heavy voice resonated like a sounding horn.
The hundreds of demon leaders in the hall were all shaken, their eyes igniting with a long-lost fighting spirit!
Upon the throne, the Supreme Venerable looked invigorated, a rare look of gratification in his eyes!
"Good."
"Your Bull Demon clan truly deserves to be the top combat force of our demon race. You act with great efficiency and competence, and have not disappointed me again!"
"Since everything is ready, today we will..."
His rousing words excited everyone present, and the horde of demons gave off a terrifying aura!
Right at this moment.
Suddenly, a figure urgently stepped into the hall, trembling as he bowed with both hands!
"Your Highness!"
"Something terrible has happened!"
Seeing the panicked expression of the old man leaning on a cane, everyone was stunned.
This was the High Priest of their race.
His cultivation was not considered extremely strong, but he mastered many secret arts and held a very high status. He had extraordinary prestige throughout the entire demon race. What could make him panic like this?
The Venerable on the throne also frowned slightly, asking with a questioning gaze.
"What is it?"
As soon as he spoke, the High Priest fell directly to his knees, his voice trembling!
"Just now, a terrifying aura seemed to appear, completely exterminating the entire Bull Demon clan on the Yuan Star. Not a single survivor was left. The other party's cultivation was too strong and they struck too fast. This old man was truly unable to investigate it. By the time I came to my senses, it was already like this..."
"I beg Your Highness for forgiveness..."
Hiss!
Gasps of cold air suddenly echoed through the hall.
The Yuan Star was the first step in their race's grand plan, and the Bull Demon clan's ambush was extremely well-hidden. They shouldn't have been discovered so easily. Yet they were suddenly slaughtered completely, to the point where even the High Priest found it hard to investigate.
What ruthless methods!
Just who was it that was so capable?!
In just a few breaths, the demons' aura silently dissipated. Everyone's eyes were filled with shock and doubt. The events happening one after another were becoming increasingly thorny, as if some terrifying faction was hiding in the dark, constantly targeting the demon race.
Alongside the fury, an unknown panic spread through the surroundings. The great hall became terrifyingly quiet.
The Venerable on the throne also finally couldn't endure the successive failures. Blazing flames spilled from his blood-red eyes as he furiously slammed the table and stood up!
"Bastard!"
"To dare ruin our race's grand plan, I will personally see just who this person is!"
As the Venerable stood and waved his sleeve, a black pearl floated out from his long sleeve.
The pearl floated in the middle of the hall, constantly emitting terrifying pressure. The pure darkness made the demon leaders in the hall show reverence in their eyes. Many figures retreated again and again, indescribable expressions of suppression appearing on their faces!
A few huge figures in the front row were even more shocked and began to whisper among themselves.
"The World Annihilation Pearl!"
"This is the holy treasure of our race. Only a peerlessly talented powerhouse like His Highness can activate it!"
"The Oblivion Pearl can trace back time and perceive all things in the galaxy. No matter how formidable the opponent may be, they cannot escape Your Lordship's grasp!"
"To force Your Lordship to use the Oblivion Pearl, it seems this person is no ordinary figure. He will be the greatest enemy our race faces upon our emergence. Once his true face is revealed, we must eliminate him at all costs!"
...
After a few brief exchanges.
Murderous intent radiated throughout the demon ranks, and hundreds of gazes within the great hall converged in midair.
The pure black pearl continuously emitted a dazzling light. Amidst the black mist, an increasingly clear image of the starry sky appeared, and the perspective rapidly zoomed in toward the Origin Star.
Finally, the view descended upon a mountain peak enveloped in a mist of blood.
Seeing the severed limbs and bloodstains scattered across the ground, the eyes of many demon leaders grew bloodshot. A giant bull-headed demon clenched his fists tightly, itching to engage in a battle to the death with this unseen nemesis, willing to risk his very life to avenge his fallen brethren!
The vision continued to draw closer.
Until a silently standing figure appeared in the image. His hands were stained with the blood of the demon race, making him look exceptionally ruthless.
At this moment.
All the demons widened their eyes, staring fixedly at the man. The flames of vengeance began to burn intensely in their eyes!
The next instant.
When that handsome, jade-like figure turned around, the hundreds of glaring eyes suddenly froze, flashing with a complex mix of sheer disbelief. The demon hall instantly plunged into dead silence once more.
Even the Venerable Lord seated upon the throne widened his eyes in absolute shock!
"Long Tian?!"
