Chapter 752 - 534: King of the Saint Realm, Imperial Soldiers Face Off
Wei Fan’s entire body exuded an unmatched supreme aura. The sky collapsed, ten thousand daos retreated, and his eyes, full of killing intent, locked onto the fleeing demon fiends.
At this moment, the Demon Race still had two Great Saint-level Demon Saints, the Three-Eyed Toad Saint and the Celestial Horned Elephant.
"Three-Eyed Toad Saint!"
His eyes first fixed on the Three-Eyed Toad Saint. Ever since the Three-Eyed Toad Saint took Bai He of the Profound Crane Sect to Beiding Continent to provoke him, he had harbored a murderous intent towards the Three-Eyed Toad Saint and had missed several times. Today, he would not let him escape no matter what.
Moreover, the Three-Eyed Toad Saint was escaping with Ape Celestial Traveler, being the largest group.
"Boom!"
He pressed his hands together, and a terrifying power penetrated, creating a time-space channel. The Three-Eyed Toad Saint and Ape Celestial Traveler, who had fled a hundred miles away, did not even have time to scream before being erased from existence.
[Slayed Three-Eyed Toad Saint, gained 500,000 years of Ordinary Power, 7,900 years of Martial Saint’s Power]
[Slayed Ape Celestial Traveler, gained 500,000 years of Ordinary Power, 2,700 years of Martial Saint’s Power]
[Ordinary Power: 5,890,000 years]
[Martial Saint’s Power: 58,700 years]
"Rumble..."
The daos of the Three-Eyed Toad Saint and Ape Celestial Traveler manifested and then exploded, leaving the remaining demon saints frightened out of their wits, cursing their parents for not giving them more legs.
Angering this Killing God, he goes on a rampage.
"Wei Ran, you’re relying on the Emperor’s Secret Technique for slaughter; our Demon Race will not let you off."
The Celestial Horned Elephant Great Saint’s scalp tingled, shouting desperately, because Wei Fan set his sights on him next. Although he knew intimidation was futile, he still hoped that Wei Ran would hesitate, giving him a chance to escape alive.
"It was you beasts who first used the Imperial Secret Technique to kill me, treating me as a pushover."
Wei Fan’s body radiated immeasurably as he swiftly traversed the Void World, unleashing the power of the Ten Thousand Dao Bell once more.
"Damned stop!"
A long howl came from the distance, followed by a massive shining hand reaching for the Celestial Horned Elephant Great Saint.
The massive hand covered the sky, covered in dense golden fur, like a cloud of gold tearing the sky apart, causing the Heaven and Earth Dao to tremble, its unparalleled aura overwhelming.
"Boom!"
With a loud crash, the hand was penetrated by the power of the Ten Thousand Dao Bell, drenching blood scattered, and the hand along with the Celestial Horned Elephant Great Saint behind it disappeared from existence.
[Slayed Celestial Horned Elephant, gained 500,000 years of Ordinary Power, 7,400 years of Martial Saint’s Power]
[Ordinary Power: 6,890,000 years]
[Martial Saint’s Power: 66,100 years]
"A strong one from the Demon Race has arrived!"
Wei Fan raised an eyebrow; the terrifying aura spreading through the sky was the most intense he had encountered yet, far surpassing even Wang Chuan Sect, whom he had slain, of the Saint Realm Perfection and Dao is Ten Thousand Feet High level.
The power he unleashed had not completely erased the hand.
Wei Fan looked over to see a Heaven-Shaking Saint Ape, its entire body shining brightly, its immense qi and blood terrifying like an ocean.
This was an old ape; strands of golden fur had turned slightly white. Its long fur hung like a waterfall, covering its cheeks and eyes, obscuring its true appearance.
[Yuan Jiuling: Great Saint Realm, Heaven-Shaking Saint Ape bloodline, countless killed]
[Slay him to gain 500,000 years of Ordinary Power, 12,000 years of Martial Saint’s Power]
It turned out to be an unparalleled Demon Saint of Dao reaching Twelve Thousand Feet High. Wei Fan’s eyes gleamed with sharpness; it was his first time encountering such a strong being, no wonder the aura was so terrifying. This was even in his later years; had he been younger, the aura would be even more terrifying.
Creatures of this level are considered Kings of the Saint Realm; apart from Emperor-level experts, only those of Dao reaching Twelve Thousand Feet High can contend with them.
"It’s Yuan Jiuling; this old beast is actually still alive!"
Xuanyuan Changkong and others’ expressions changed; they also recognized Yuan Jiuling.
This was an old demon who in the past caused heroes of the Eastern Domain Human Race to tremble, countless perished by his hands.
"Bastard!"
From Yuan Jiuling’s eyes shot two golden beams, lifting his long eyebrows, revealing an old face full of wrinkled skin, with a violent killing intent directed straight at Wei Fan.
Though aged, his physique was not emaciated; instead, it was vast as a mountain, muscles terrifying like tall trees, as if about to explode.
Not having saved the Celestial Horned Elephant, coupled with the three Heaven-Shaking Saint Apes of his clan having vanished, he couldn’t suppress his rage, causing clouds to swirl from all directions, his killing intent shattering the sky.
"Ancestor, that’s Wei Ran. He killed all the Demon Saints. Yuan Tiansheng and Yuan Gang the ancients are dead. He slaughtered ten Demon Saints of our Demon Race; kill him quickly."
The remaining demon saints shouted from afar, appearing as though they had survived a calamity, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at Wei Fan.
Ten Demon Saints, an unimaginable number, plus the one slain by Fairy Yunyin, a total of eleven Demon Saints of the Demon Race had been killed in this battle; among them were not only half Great Saint-Level Demon Saints but all were of strong bloodlines like the Heaven-Shaking Saint Ape and Purple-Bearded Golden Flood Dragon. Even if they couldn’t become a Demon Emperor in the future, they could achieve Great Saint Perfection.
In an instant, the killing intent in Yuan Jiuling’s eyes intensified; the circular Dao Rune atop his head glowed, radiating dazzling light.
"You too die!"
Wei Fan, regardless of Yuan Jiuling, even if a Demon Emperor arrived now, he would fight. Once more, he guided the power of the Ten Thousand Dao Bell, launching it directly towards Yuan Jiuling.
"Boom!"
The void was pierced, opening up a time-space tunnel, with the Supreme power about to strike Yuan Jiuling in the blink of an eye.
"You brat, courting death!"
Yuan Jiuling shouted, not expecting the opponent to attack him first with an Emperor’s Secret Technique before he even made a move. The power summoned by this technique, even for someone like him, an unparalleled Great Saint, was too much to withstand directly, as it could shock him to death.
The hand he had just extended was an illusion created by Dao Power, otherwise, he would have been shocked to death.
However, having reached his level, facing the power summoned by the Emperor’s Secret Technique wasn’t entirely without the means to counteract; he wouldn’t be erased from existence like others without a reaction.
Suddenly, a Red Gold Staff appeared in his hand, forcefully slashing forward to meet Wei Fan’s incoming power.
"Boom!"
A dazzling light spread across the void world like an exploding Great Sun, engulfing everything in its brilliance.
Countless pieces of the void shattered, with elements like earth, water, wind, and fire surging, Chains of Order breaking apart in patches, and the Law dissipating. Except for Wei Fan, everyone looked pained.
"Humph!"
The next moment, a muffled groan came from within the light as Yuan Jiuling’s massive body was thrown out of the light and onto the ground.
"Rumble..."
A mountain range was instantly reduced to ashes, with smoke covering the skies, and terrifying cracks spreading for dozens of miles.
"You’ve angered this Saint!"
A furious roar came from within the smoke, with ocean-like Qi Blood sweeping away the sky-covering dust.
Yuan Jiuling stood up from the pit. Although he looked somewhat disheveled, he wasn’t severely injured, with only some cracks appearing on his arms.
"He wasn’t killed? Is Yuan Jiuling that terrifying?"
Everyone gasped. The Emperor’s power summoned by Wei Ran failed to kill Yuan Jiuling, and this old demon was simply terrifying.
"No, it’s the Red Gold Staff in his hand, it’s an Imperial Soldier. That old beast brought an Imperial Soldier with him."
Xuanyuan Changkong looked serious. The Red Gold Staff in Yuan Jiuling’s hand must be an Imperial Soldier; otherwise, it would’ve been shattered by the Emperor’s Secret Technique.
Imperial Soldier!
As these words came out, everyone’s expressions changed drastically.
This wasn’t just a strand of power summoned by a Secret Technique, but an actual Imperial Soldier. Once activated by an old demon like Yuan Jiuling, with power so great, everything for miles would be annihilated, all living beings obliterated.
Yuan Jiuling’s eyes sharpened, shooting out golden light that tore through space as he stepped back into the void world.
In his hand, the Red Gold Staff awoke like a sleeping beast, emitting a terrifying aura that weighed down Heaven and Earth, with dense Dao Runes starting to shine, like the Heavens were leaking, devouring Essence Qi and stirring up storms.
The Imperial Soldier had awakened!
"Stop fighting, or everyone will die!"
"These beasts dare use an Imperial Soldier, aren’t they afraid our Human Race’s Martial Emperor will annihilate their entire tribe?"
On the distant battlefield, everyone fled, not bothering to fight against the Demon Fiends, and naturally, the Demon Army was in a full retreat.
Once the Imperial Soldier awakens, its aura alone could kill a Saint Realm being, it’s an indiscriminate attack. Unless in the hands of a Martial Emperor, even a Daoist Level of ten thousand two thousand feet of a peerless expert cannot restrain the power of an Imperial Soldier.
Wei Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly. Once Yuan Jiuling wielded the Imperial Soldier, it was beyond the counter of just Guiding Emperor’s Secret Technique, requiring the entire body of the Ten Thousand Dao Bell.
He didn’t know how many would die at that time, but there was no way he’d let Yuan Jiuling kill him with the Imperial Soldier.
His aura grew intensely sharp, and his eyes shone with frightening brilliance, determined to show the world the peerless power of the Golden Bell Shield today.
"Yuan Jiuling, you beast, do you think only your Demon Race has Imperial Soldiers?"
Xuanyuan Changkong and others rushed over, their auras surging, with all the strong ones, including those far away like Wei Ying, gathering behind Wei Fan.
"If you want to unleash an Imperial Soldier clash, you should first consult with your Heaven-Shaking Saint Ape tribe’s Demon Emperor ancestor about the consequences. Can your tribe withstand it?"
The middle-aged man who first clashed Emperor’s Secret Technique with the Purple-Bearded Golden Flood Dragon flipped his wrist, and a Battle Halberd appeared in his hand.
"Everyone, assist me!"
He called out softly, and Wei Ying and others pressed their palms on his back, reviving the Battle Halberd with him.
"Boom!"
It emanated a terrifying wave crushing Heaven and Earth, sweeping in all directions, with dazzling Dao Runes. In the void, Ten Thousand Dao’s vibrations appeared, one by one emerging.
This Battle Halberd, it was also an Imperial Soldier, always with him. Yet, it’s such a Killing Weapon he dared not to use casually, as this could further expand the battle, leading to widespread destruction.
There are no winners in an Imperial Soldier clash; all beings within several tens of thousands of miles would be erased.
"Damn it!"
Yuan Jiuling’s face turned grim across; he paused the revival of his Imperial Soldier, not expecting the Demon Hunter Organization’s expert to already have an Imperial Soldier with them.
If it were only him with an Imperial Soldier, he would dare to strike it to kill these Human Race Saints. But since the opponent also had an Imperial Soldier, he dared not trigger an Imperial Soldier clash.
If such a clash occurred, the hundreds of thousands of Demon Army nearby would die, a consequence that the Heaven-Shaking Saint Ape tribe could not afford.
