Chapter 1787 - 1784: Cataclysm in the Human World
Seeing this scene, everyone present was struck dumb with fear.
Even Leng Que, who was always so buoyant, dared not breathe heavily at this moment.
He steadied his heart, bowed slightly to Tuoba Demon and Red Scorpion, and saluted.
"I didn’t know the two seniors would grace us with your presence, may I ask what brings you here?"
Seeing Leng Que being so respectful, the rest trembled more, bowing their heads repeatedly.
Tuoba Demon and Red Scorpion, seeing this, said smugly, "At least you know some manners, have your master come out and tell him that the Grand Elder of Sky Demon Palace, Tuoba Demon, and Third Elder, Red Scorpion, have come to visit!"
Before Tuoba Demon and Red Scorpion’s words faded, a hearty laugh was heard coming from the Inner Mountain.
"I wondered who it was, turns out it’s Elder Tuoba and Elder Red Scorpion. Your presence truly graces our humble abode!"
"However, our Heavenly Demon Sect and your Sky Demon Palace have always minded our own business. May I ask what brings you two here?"
Red Scorpion pointed to the Heavenly Demon Child and said, "Heavenly Demon Child, since you’re here already, let’s get straight to the point. The two of us have come to make your Heavenly Demon Sect submit to our Sky Demon Palace!"
Upon hearing Red Scorpion’s words, the Heavenly Demon Child couldn’t help but be shocked.
The disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect were wide-eyed, looking at each other in dismay.
The Heavenly Demon Child awkwardly chuckled and said, "Elder Red Scorpion, you must be joking!"
"Red Scorpion isn’t joking; this is the wish of our ancestor. Now, you have only two paths: either submit to our Sky Demon Palace or die; choose wisely!"
The one speaking was Tuoba Demon.
As he spoke, an overwhelming aura emanated from him, making one’s heart tremble with fear.
Even the Heavenly Demon Child’s expression turned extremely gloomy in an instant.
Red Scorpion said coldly, "Heavenly Demon Child, I’ll give you the time of one incense stick to consider. If you don’t agree, even without the ancestor’s personal involvement, we two alone can annihilate your Heavenly Demon Sect!"
The Heavenly Demon Child pondered for a moment and said, "It’s possible to collaborate with your Sky Demon Palace, but what’s in it for me?"
Before the Heavenly Demon Child finished speaking, Tuoba Demon interjected to correct, "It’s not collaboration; it’s submission!"
"As for benefits, I can help your Heavenly Demon Sect unify the Demon Path forces. On the righteous side, if you’re interested in any territory and perform well, it might be annexed for your Heavenly Demon Sect’s jurisdiction!"
Upon hearing Tuoba Demon’s words, the Heavenly Demon Child’s eyes couldn’t help but shine.
As for collaboration or submission, those are just titles, not important.
The Demon Path isn’t like the Righteous Path, which cares about so-called reputation and face.
Only tangible benefits are truly the king’s way.
Moreover, from Tuoba Demon’s earlier words, the Heavenly Demon Child picked up on significant information.
That is, the Beast Spirit Clan, led by Sky Demon Palace, is likely to launch a large-scale attack on the Human World.
The Plane of the Heavenly Domain is generally divided into three clans.
Dragon Clan, Beast Spirit Clan, Human Clan!
Among them, the Dragon Clan is the most mysterious and the strongest.
Next is the Beast Spirit Clan.
The Human Clan comes last.
After the last major clash between the Dragon Clan and the Beast Spirit Clan, the Dragon Clan retreated deep into the sea, not appearing on land for over ten thousand years.
And the Sky Demon Ancestor, using Sky Demon Palace as a platform, consolidated the 36 tribes and 72 residences of the Beast Spirit Clan, making their overall strength likely surpass the Dragon Clan.
The Human Clan’s overall strength never could compare to the Beast Spirit Clan.
Now, with Zhao Wudi, Zhao Badao brothers of the Zhao Family, and Wuo Yunzi, the Sect Leader of Liuyun Sect, having perished successively, the entire Human Clan is practically fragmented.
If the Sky Demon Palace indeed unifies the 36 tribes and 72 residences of the Beast Spirit Clan to attack the Human Clan.
The Human Clan truly has no room for resistance!
Thinking of this situation and the various benefits Tuoba Demon promised earlier, the Heavenly Demon Child immediately made a decision.
Submit to the Sky Demon Palace!
With this in mind, the Heavenly Demon Child clasped his fists and bowed to Tuoba Demon.
"I am willing to submit!"
Seeing their Sect Master express willingness to submit to the Sky Demon Palace, the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect also all knelt to Tuoba Demon and Red Scorpion.
"We are willing to submit!"
Seeing that they had successfully absorbed the Heavenly Demon Sect, Tuoba Demon and Red Scorpion exchanged a smile.
"Heavenly Demon Sect Master, no need for such formalities. From now on, we serve together and must look out for one another!"
The Heavenly Demon Sect always was a great power in the Demon Path, and now with the support of Sky Demon Palace.
Therefore, they swept through the Demon Path with an unstoppable force.
Three months later, the Demon Path was unified!
The Heavenly Demon Sect’s strength reached its peak since its founding.
With over a million direct disciples alone.
If you count the affiliated disciples and subsidiary forces, there are at least eight million, if not ten million.
The Heavenly Demon Child, high-spirited, led millions of Demon Path disciples to launch a massive attack on the Righteous Path forces.
Meanwhile, Tuoba Demon and Red Scorpion led the 36 tribes and 72 residences of the Beast Spirit Clan in a grand march towards the Human World.
Since the incident happened abruptly, the Righteous Path forces had no preparation whatsoever.
Basically, they were completely defeated at first sight.
A great human calamity thus began!
...
Just setting foot in the Human World, Li Chen and Dragon Girl were stunned by the scene before them.
The ruins and barren fields full of corpses, this is no Human World, it’s hell.
Especially Dragon Girl, who found it hard to accept.
She had many beautiful fantasies about the Human World before coming here.
But now, those fantasies were ruthlessly shattered, making it truly difficult for her to accept.
At this moment, Li Chen’s eyes slightly narrowed.
"There’s movement ahead!"
Dragon Girl listened for a while and said, "It sounds like a fight is happening!"
"Let’s go, take a look!"
Before finishing his words, Li Chen’s body turned into a stream of light, quickly dashing forward.
Dragon Girl hurriedly called out to Li Chen’s retreating figure.
"Don’t go so fast, wait for me!"
...
A thousand miles away, across a barren land:
A dozen female cultivators were fleeing in panic.
They all wore identical attire, obviously from the same sect.
If Li Chen were present, he would surely recognize the sect’s origin.
Qianxue Hall!
Moreover, among them were two of his acquaintances, Yans Ziyi and Li Mengjiao.
Behind them, several hundred disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect were in pursuit.
"Chase them, don’t let those female cultivators from Qianxue Hall get away!"
"In the Human World, it’s the female cultivators from Qianxue Hall who taste the most genuine. If one were to capture one back to be a Taoist couple, to revel night after night, it would be bliss like a god!"
One of the Heavenly Demon Sect disciples, already daydreaming, smacked his lips and swallowed audibly.
The other Heavenly Demon Sect disciples, upon hearing this, became even more excited, letting out wild howls like wolves.
