Chapter 417 - 417 An Item from the Sky
Before this, although the Demon Imperial Tombs was floating in the sky above the Demon Capital, it was located in another space. In essence, it was just a phantom.
The light from the sun could easily shine through the Demon Imperial Tombs and brought endless light and heat to the living beings on the ground as usual.
However, when the Demon Imperial Tombs collapsed, the ancient inheritance site immediately slid from the alternate dimension into the real world!
The sunlight was blocked out and darkness enveloped the land.
At the same time, countless fragments of the continent tore through space. The explosions swept in all directions, turning into dazzling flames that covered the Demon Capital.
Even for demons with powerful physiques and long lifespans, such terrifying destruction was still a calamity!
Amidst the blood-red fire clouds that filled the sky, the figure of King Han stood tall. His eyes were like fire as he fixed his gaze on a figure descending from the sky.
“This person… has my son’s aura on his body!”
King Han’s expression fell slightly.
Not long ago, he had once felt his only son’s soul mark suddenly dissipate without any warning.
This situation only meant one possibility—
His only son, Shuang Xueming… had died!
In King Han’s opinion, this was something almost impossible.
Putting aside Shuang Xueming’s cultivation level, of which he was already considered outstanding among the demon beast lords, he also had with him a protective magic weapon bestowed by his father. In the entire Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, there were probably not many people who could break it!
Then, how did Shuang Xueming die?
“The answer… is probably with this person!”
King Han’s gaze was rather cold as his eyes locked onto that figure.
Suddenly, under everyone’s shocked gazes, his aura surged and flames spewed out and cold currents surged into the sky. Behind the demon king, a taiji diagram slowly condensed and spun!
“Extreme Yin gives birth to Yang…”
“He’s already reached this step!”
The demon kings, as well as a few demon beast lords who were more well-informed, could not help but look envious when they saw this scene.
As the saying went, once Yin and Yang were stabilized, the Primal Core would be forged!
The entire cultivation process of the Primal Core Realm was actually to forge an immortal Primal Core. Only when one broke through to the next realm would the Primal Core be considered complete.
Therefore, the phenomenon that appeared on King Han’s body undoubtedly meant one thing…
This demon king, who was originally not even ranked close to the top 10, might have taken the last step and become an existence on the same level as the Ruler!
“This guy… actually gets there faster than us!”
Outside the Demon Capital, Ying Chengpeng narrowed his eyes and his aura became slightly fierce.
Beside him, Niu Mang stared for a long time before speaking.
“What the hell, that’s awesome!”
“You stupid ox… You’re completely hopeless!”
Seeing Niu Mang’s reaction, Ying Chengpeng was completely speechless.
Given this stupid ox’s intelligence level, it should have been beaten to death in the wilderness long ago. How did it manage to cultivate and become a demon king?
“Speaking of which, what’s that big worm looking at? Wait, he’s actually launching an attack at this time!”
“I am here. You can’t pass.”
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, King Han’s aura continued to soar and his figure rose higher and higher. In the blink of an eye, he was already blocking Feng Xia’s path.
Behind his head, the Yin Yang Taiji Diagram rotated slowly, emanating the aura of both deities and devils.
A dignified demon king had blocked someone in public.
This action instantly caused an uproar among countless demon beasts.
At the same time, someone recognized Feng Xia.
“Goodness me… He seems to be that fellow Xia Donghai!”
“I remember that before this fellow entered the Demon Imperial Tombs, he somehow offended the Holy Son and ran into the Demon Imperial Tombs with all his might before barely escaping!”
“He’s still alive after all this time?”
In all fairness, most of the demon beasts in the Demon Capital did not have any ill feelings towards Feng Xia.
After all, other than inexplicably offending the Holy Son at the entrance of the Demon Imperial Tombs and then successfully escaping, Xia Donghai’s name was not very well-known before this.
After that, the Holy Son had chased him into the Demon Imperial Tombs.
Hence, in everyone’s eyes, Feng Xia would not be able to make it out alive!
Since he was already a dead person, what was there to care about?
It was not until this moment when the Demon Imperial Tombs suddenly collapsed and Feng Xia swaggered out that some people began to realize that “Xia Donghai” was not that simple after all!
“Then again, this guy really knows how to cause trouble!”
Even though there were destructive meteors falling everywhere, there were still countless busybodies gathered in the distance, unwilling to leave.
That was because a demon king, who was suspected to have broken through to the Dharma Characteristic Realm, had come up to Feng Xia without any warning!
“He offended the Holy Son and King Han of the extreme north. This guy’s ability to cause trouble… is shocking!” Some demon beasts were already shaking their heads secretly.
“I don’t know how to evaluate this. Is Xia Donghai too lucky or too unlucky?”
...
Back then, he had escaped right in front of the Demon Imperial Tombs. Now, it was the same location but different timing. It was still in front of the Demon Imperial Tombs that he was blocked by a terrifying demon king!
“The Demon Imperial Tombs has collapsed. This time, he has nowhere to run!”
“On your body.”
Staring at Feng Xia with a sharp gaze, King Han had just said half a sentence, “On your body, I can feel my son’s…”
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh—”
A shrill scream suddenly interrupted King Han’s words.
A flickering blood light accompanied by a rather miserable scream tore through the blood-colored fire clouds that filled the sky and a muffled drumbeat fell from the end of the sky!
“What is it…”
As soon as King Han spoke, the blood light suddenly accelerated. At the same time, an incomparably dull drumbeat exploded above his head.
“Pfft… Wow!”
This scene far exceeded King Han’s expectations.
...
Caught off guard, he did not even have the chance to raise his defenses before he was invaded by the attack formed from the drumbeats. The blood essence in his entire body suddenly suffocated as if he had fallen into absolute silence!
“What happened?!”
King Han was shocked.
What kind of attack could stop his blood essence from circulating?
Blood essence was not equivalent to cultivation, but the strength of blood essence could affect the performance of cultivation.
Now that his blood essence had stagnated, it was equivalent to showing a huge flaw to the enemy!
In a thousandth of a second, the blood light finally smashed onto King Han’s head.
“Xia Donghai, I’ve finally found you. It’s so difficult to find you…”
An old voice rang out, filled with unprecedented joy. “Hmm? Who is this guy? Why is he lying under my belly?”
King Han: “…”
…
