Chapter 460: 408: Heavenly Court? Howling Moon Gray Wolf! (Fifth update, Third update)
Indeed, the being that was currently present wasn’t his true body. His actual body was still in closed-door cultivation on Shenxiao Mountain. The present body was nothing more than a Divine Ability he had cultivated in his last simulated life, an External Incarnation condensed through the law of flesh and blood proliferation.
Even so, this External Incarnation had the power of the Third Level of the Spiritual Realm and could exert the power of the Fourth Level of the Spiritual Realm.
Only a few people, like Wang Boan, had discovered the secret of his body. However, he didn’t expect that such secrets would be revealed by Mr. Wu.
It seems that the other party’s background was indeed not simple. This was not an ordinary feat that beings of the Third Level of the Spiritual Realm could do, as Pei Xuanjing concluded in his mind.
“I’m growing more and more curious about your origins,” Pei Xuanjing said, looking at Mr. Wu.
Mr. Wu replied, “It seems that the National Master is willing to make this deal.”
“Since you have so much faith in me, how could I possibly refuse?” Pei Xuanjing laughed, “As long as what you bring is genuinely useful, everything else won’t be an issue.”
As he had said before, he didn’t mind if people wanted to join in. When it came to dealing with potential problems that the other party might encounter, he was not particularly worried. After all, based on the pace of the revival of Heaven and Earth, it would take at least twenty years before the Nine Realms of the Spirit could accommodate a strong practitioner.
By then, if everything went as planned, his power should have somewhat increased, and even if he couldn’t defeat his opponent, he would have some resistance.
So, as long as the other party could provide something valuable enough, Pei Xuanjing wouldn’t mind accepting the deal.
Mr. Wu nodded his understanding, firmly believing that what he was offering was exactly what the other party lacked.
The Witch Deity Teaching has a long heritage and holds the most comprehensive information about the Divine Dynasty on Earth compared to others in this world.
The Divine Dynasty on Earth did not only emerge during the Divine Han era. It originated the earliest in the era of the ancient tribal clans of the human race. Ideas about human emperors, saint kings, and overall rulers had been proposed, but in that era, it was not called the Divine Dynasty on Earth but the Holy Court and Heavenly Court.
The so-called Divine Dynasty on Earth, from their perspective in the Witch Deity Teaching, was nothing more than some scattered remnants from the past.
The Divine Dynasty on Earth was the ultimate goal pursued by all dynasties that had united the world since ancient times. If a dynasty could transform into the Divine Dynasty on Earth, or even the Holy Court or the Heavenly Court, it could be immortal and exist forever in the world.
There were even some strong individuals who speculated that if a dynasty could be upgraded to the Holy Court or Heavenly Court, it might reach the mythical realm of the Fairy God.
Just like the kingdoms, ancient countries, and imperial courts that exist in the Sky Wasteland today, they are all taking similar paths. They occupy the dragon vein, gather Qi Luck, all for the sake of immortality and Becoming Immortal.
Mr. Wu collected his thoughts and was about to open his mouth to talk to Pei Xuanjing, but suddenly he stopped and looked towards the distance.
Pei Xuanjing also made a similar move. His gaze moved from Mr. Wu and started looking into the distance.
Boom!
A torrential demonic energy erupted from a few hundred miles away, emitting a terrifying aura. The heavy oppression was so intense it nearly changed the color of the sky and made the earth shake.
The invisible pressure descended, causing everyone to change their expressions abruptly. The battle between the human race and the demonic beasts stalled slightly. Inspired by this surge of demonic energy, the demonic beasts seemed to become even more ferocious and fearless.
At a distance of several miles away, the nine human and nine demon beings in the middle of a heated battle also changed their expressions and immediately separated.
“Demon King, there’s actually a Demon King present!”
“A Fifth Order Demon King, the Demon Race has dispatched a Demon King.”
“There’s an actual Demon King, and not an ordinary one, at least a Fifth Level Spirit Realm, a mid-stage Fifth Order Demon King!”
People like Zhao Baiyang and others, could only sense the terrifying aura but didn’t understand who the other party was. However, people like Mu Binghua and Xue Hanyi immediately understood everything.
The three of them exchanged glances, their expressions solemn. None of them expected that the Demon Race would dispatch a Demon King to their ancestral land.
The strangest thing was, given that the Demon Race had a Demon King to send, they still chose to remain dormant, confronting the human race’s army for so long. It was truly peculiar.
They should know that if the other party had personally shot during the time Pei Xuanjing was closed off, the nine military cities probably wouldn’t have been established and would have collapsed entirely.
“Moreover, even now, this Fifth Level Spirit Realm Demon King is quite troublesome,” Xue Hanyi said heavily.
“It seems that we won’t be able to wipe out the Demon Race today,” Mu Binghua’s expression remained the same.
This ever compassionate Heart Moon Lake disciple’s face was currently bereft of compassion, not concealing his murderous intent and regret.
The human race and the Demon Race had a deep-seated hatred for each other, there was no need for further words. If there was an opportunity to destroy each other, nobody would hold back.
Unfortunately, a mid-stage Fifth Order, Fifth Level Spirit Realm Demon King was a formidable opponent. This type of powerful being was even stronger than the previous power Pei Xuanjing had displayed on the Shenxiao Mountain. If the other party hadn’t advanced further during the years of closure, then they would have to retreat, achieving nothing today.
However, not achieving anything would be the best outcome. At worst, they might all die here today.
Upon hearing these words, Zhao Baiyang and the old Heavenly Master’s expressions darkened, and they felt a chill in their hearts.
Contrarily, those Great Demons who had just fought against them were full of joy and excitement on their faces. Even those who were injured in the previous battle couldn’t conceal their excited expressions.
“His Highness has come out of seclusion!”
“It seems that His Highness Wolf King has refined his Qi Luck, taking his strength to a new level.”
“We hope His Highness Wolf King will lead us to kill all of the human race, lead our troops, breach the mountains and rivers of the Divine Continent and turn this world into our Demon Race’s hunting ground.”
One after another, the Great Demons spoke, their killing intent slowly focusing on the humans.
“National Master.”
“Brother Zhao.”
“True Man.”
The rest of the people turned their gazes towards Pei Xuanjing. Among them, only Pei Xuanjing might have the power to fight against the Demon King. Their lives were all tied to Pei Xuanjing now.
Pei Xuanjing slightly focused his mind, his eyes sparkling as he gazed into the distance.
A huge gray wolf appeared in the distance, standing approximately thirty feet tall and around fourteen feet long. Its silvery-white fur was standing up like steel needles, reflecting a chilling gloss. As the wolf howled at the sky, its scarlet eyes were filled with a terrifying, violent and fierce aura.
“A member of the royal family of the Demon Race, the Howling Moon Gray Wolf, whose strength has just advanced to the Fifth Level of the Spirit Realm. Given the strength of the Howling Moon Gray Wolf’s bloodline, even if it encounters a practitioner at the Sixth Level of the Spirit Realm, it may not be without the power to fight.”
