Chapter 1028
“Save the ancestor now!”
The experts of the Heavenly Demon Temple had already suffered heavy casualties. When they saw this scene, they were all on the verge of breaking down. They all rushed over regardless of their own lives in an attempt to save the Second Heavenly Demon. However, their efforts were no different from moths flying into a flame. Once whoever of them entered the territory of the stormy wind and rain, they would instantly explode and turn into blood and bone.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
In an instant, several Heavenly Demon experts were killed.
Under the Stormy Saber and Sword Realm, Ding Hao had become a Killing God.
At this moment, the Second Heavenly Demon was on the verge of death when something strange suddenly happened.
“Since you’ve already won, there’s no need to kill them all.”
A voice suddenly rang out, reverberating in the air above the entire True Phoenix City. It was merely a voice, yet it caused the light in the sky to distort. The barrier of the void seemed to be unable to withstand this kind of sound wave as it was shattered.
The voice contained an unquestionable power.
Ding Hao’s Stormy Saber and Sword Realm was instantly shattered and dissipated.
The battle in the square also stopped completely. Under this voice, no one dared to fight anymore. The Sage Realm Masters felt a trembling in their souls and couldn’t help shivering. It was like a stray dog feeling the pressure of a divine dragon.
“It’s the Demon Ancestor!”
An expert from the Heavenly Demon Temple roared in surprise.
The eyes of everyone from the Heavenly Demon Temple were filled with ecstasy.
The Demon Ancestor appeared.
He was the true backer of the Heavenly Demon Temple. He had once dominated an era and was an invincible figure. Even the Demon God of the Northern Region back then was extremely afraid of the Demon Ancestor. This was also the most important reason why the Heavenly Demon Temple was able to stand up to the Demon God Palace.
He was the ancestor of the Heavenly Demons.
He was the strongest Heavenly Demon in the world.
Compared with this peerless master, the seniority of the Second Heavenly Demon might be the same, but his strength was still much inferior to that of the Demon Ancestor.
“Haha!” After the Second Heavenly Demon was stunned, he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed. There was great pride and arrogance in his laughter. He looked at Ding Hao with a sneer and said, “Little bastard, it seems that your divination is not accurate.”
However, to his surprise, Ding Hao didn’t look feared as he had predicted. Instead, there was a strong sense of disdain and sarcasm on his face.
At this moment, another voice sounded-
“Since you’ve come to the True Phoenix City, we shall fight to life and death. It doesn’t matter who wins or loses. What’s more, if you want to escape unscathed after making trouble in my city, you’re not taking me seriously.”
As soon as the voice was heard, a strange power spread out.
The power of the Demon Ancestor, which was originally shrouded in the sky above the True Phoenix City, was instantly melted, and the trembling powerful aura disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by a huge illusory image of the True Phoenix. It covered the sky and the sun, and its wings extended all the way to the horizon.
“Great Phoenix Saint!”
There was a burst of cheers like a tsunami in the True Phoenix City.
“As an outsider, do you really want to do as you wish and dominate the Northern Region?” The Heavenly Demon Ancestor’s voice rang out once more.
“What’s wrong with being an outsider? Strength is the most important thing. If you can’t take it, you can fight.” Great Phoenix Saint’s voice was full of overbearingness as she got back at him by saying, “If my Immortal Phoenix Palace’s people tear down your Heavenly Demon Temple, will you easily give in?”
The Heavenly Demon Ancestor fell silent.
No matter what the cause of this matter was, in terms of etiquette, what the Second Heavenly Demon had done was indefensible. Originally speaking, etiquette was not worth mentioning in this cruel world, but when the strength of both sides was almost the same, it became very important.
After a while, the Heavenly Demon Ancestor said.” Each of us will take a step back.”
The Great Phoenix Saint burst out laughing and said extremely domineeringly, “I won’t retreat even the slightest. All the Heavenly Demons who entered True Phoenix City today must die. If you are not convinced, let’s fight and see who will be destroyed in the end.”
It was silent again.
After a while, the Heavenly Demon Ancestor said coldly, “This is not over.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the strange power in the void completely disappeared.
This world-shaking demon finally chose to retreat.
How could a great master at his level not know how terrifying the Great Phoenix Saint was? The Immortal Phoenix Palace had been standing in the Northern Region for several years, and its sphere of influence had been constantly expanding. How could the two of them not have secretly fought against each other? If the Heavenly Demon Ancestor could have done anything to the Great Phoenix Saint, then the Immortal Phoenix Palace wouldn’t have lasted.
After weighing the pros and cons, the Heavenly Demon Ancestor gave up the rescue in the face of the Great Phoenix Saint’s overbearing attitude.
Every supreme expert had too much to bear. They wouldn’t fight despite everything unless they had no other choice.
However, this time, he was tricked by the Demon God Palace. He thought that they had reached a tacit agreement, but who knew that it was just his own wishful thinking? The Heavenly Demon Palace was destined to suffer heavy losses.
What puzzled many Heavenly Demon experts and the Heavenly Demon Ancestor was why the Demon God of the Northern Region, who had always been aggressive and claimed to purify the demon bloodline, did not oppose this marriage this time.
They didn’t have a good start, and they kept failing after that.
The power of the Heavenly Demon Ancestor finally disappeared in the sky. The previously excited Heavenly Demon experts immediately changed their faces. They all became low-spirited in an instant, especially the Second Heavenly Demon. His old face looked as if it had been slapped hard.
Their fates were completely predestined at this moment.
“No... Brother, save me...” The Second Heavenly Demon roared in despair.
He was in the same era as the current Heavenly Demon Ancestor and was also his younger brother, but his talent was far inferior. Therefore, he could only be a God Realm Master at the middle level. He had been sleeping for so many years, prolonging his life when he hoped that he could wait for an opportunity to come into being and win the opportunity to live a second life. Unfortunately, he was so unlucky that he met such amazing juniors as Ding Hao and Xie Jieyu as soon as he was born.
This might have something to do with his character. He was too domineering and arrogant, and his killing was too fierce and vicious. He was destined not to achieve greatness.
However, the Heavenly Demon Ancestor no longer responded to him.
Compared to the Heavenly Demon Temple’s heritage, a younger brother was nothing to him.
The next moment, the wind and rain started again.
The Second Heavenly Demon’s severely injured body instantly turned into a rain of blood under the attack of the wind and rain. He didn’t even have time to self-detonate. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a pool of blood, leaving no bones. Only the black fur of the Heavenly Demon left his body and rose into the air before it turned into a black light and disappeared in the direction of the Heavenly Demon Temple in the distance.
Ding Hao wanted to stop it, but he found that he couldn’t.
This kind of divine object had a spirit and was the destiny treasure of the Heavenly Demon Temple. It returned to the temple on its own accord.
The Great Phoenix Saint did not make a move.
It was not the time to turn hostile. She couldn’t push Heavenly Demon Ancestor too hard. This time, she had only guessed the Demon God’s plan and caught the Heavenly Demon Temple off guard. If they were to fight, she wouldn’t be afraid of the Heavenly Demon Ancestor, but she didn’t know which side the Demon God of the Northern Region would take.
In the blink of an eye, the people of the Heavenly Demon Temple on the square were all slaughtered.
The other Demon Clan forces that had come here with the Heavenly Demons had been killed mercilessly by the True Phoenix Guards and Vast Ocean physical cultivators because they had taken the Heavenly Demons’ side during the chaotic battle. This was the territory of the True Phoenix Guards, and a dense fatal formation had long been set up around the square, where there were many traps. The Immortal Phoenix Palace had obtained the final victory at a very small cost.
The remaining major forces of the Demon Clan did not look very good.
This was clearly a warning to them. The bloody ending of the Heavenly Demon Temple was right in front of them. If anyone dared to oppose this wedding recklessly, the terrain and blood on the ground would be their ending. For so many years, it was the first time for the powerful and overbearing Heavenly Demon Temple to suffer such a loss. The other demon forces knew that they did not have the strength and foundation of the temple, nor did they have the protection of the supreme masters like the Heavenly Demon Ancestor, so they did not dare to provoke the Immortal Phoenix Palace.
In particular, the domineering strength the Great Phoenix Saint showed before made many demon experts and forces recognize the Immortal Phoenix Palace again.
The Great Phoenix Saint dared to challenge someone like the Heavenly Demon Ancestor. How could this peerless master be so easy to deal with?
It was no wonder that the Immortal Phoenix Palace had been rising in the Northern Region all these years and had always been successful.
Only the experts of the Demon God Palace had natural expressions on their faces. This time, they remained neutral and were not affected by the battle. For tens of thousands of years, the Heavenly Demon Temple had been fighting with the Demon God Palace openly and secretly. The relationship between them was absolutely not friendly. The Demon God Palace was happy to see that the strength of the Heavenly Demon Temple had been damaged.
“Brother Ding, congratulations.” Wen Duoqing came out with a folding fan in his hand.
Ding Hao nodded.
He had met this genius of the Demon Clan several times. Wen Duoqing had met Ding Hao when he was in the Divine Central Continent. He was a very proud and special rising star of the Demon Clan. At least he had never shown any hostility. In the Towering Buddha Pagoda, he had joined hands with Ding Hao to fight against their enemies and obtained one of the Three Great Divine Artifacts, the Sand of Time.
He could be considered half an old friend to Ding Hao.
“Brother Ding, you are so lucky.” Wen Duoqing teased him and said, “But once the news is spread, I’m afraid that countless human girls will be heartbroken. Are you really not going to give the other girls any chance?”
Ding Hao was instantly speechless.
“This guy is still so gossipy.”
“Sister Xie, so it was you on the arena that day.” Princess Primordial greeted Xie Jieyu with a smile on her face.
Xie Jieyu nodded slightly.
The relationship between the Immortal Phoenix Palace and the Demon God Palace was not bad. Xie Jieyu and Princess Primordial were both fairies of the Demon Clan, so they appreciated each other. Therefore, with Xie Jieyu’s character, she was able to show mercy in the three fighting rings of the Mirror Lake in Snow Province that day and ended the battle with Princess Primordial without going all out.
“You have good taste, sister.” Princess Primordial glanced at Ding Hao.
Xie Jieyu still just nodded slightly.
With her character, except for Ding Hao, she was cold to everyone else.
After a simple greeting, Princess Primordial left with the experts of the Demon God Palace. Except for the forces that took sides with the Immortal Phoenix Palace, the other demon forces of all sizes also got up and left one after another. There were more than a hundred demon forces when they came, but when they left, there were only more than eighty. More than 20 demon forces were mercilessly killed because they took the Heavenly Demon Temple’s side.
They had thought it would be a disaster for the Immortal Phoenix Palace, but who knew...
