Chapter 342: Nine Demon Emperors

Chapter 342: Nine Demon Emperors

February 9th, 2025

Despite this, the Hananhai Demon Emperor still decided to continue sending demons to invade after a moment's thought.

There was no other choice.

Every ultimate treasure had its limits.

The Hananhai Demon Emperor didn't believe that the Trick God Flag in Gu Qingfeng's hands could be endlessly enhanced without limit.

Even for Imperial artifacts, it was impossible to achieve such a feat.

Moreover, the primary issue was that the Demon Clan's numbers had grown too vast, to the point where they were immeasurable.

Over the years, the Demon Clan had continuously invaded other worlds, using the resources and sentient beings of those worlds as nourishment, eventually giving birth to an enormous population.

The demons that perished in the Primeval Ancient World were merely a drop in the ocean for the Demon Clan, not even worth mentioning.

Such a massive population had become a burden for the entire clan.

This was also the reason why the Demon Clan wanted to start a war.

The number of demons was simply too high, reaching a terrifying level!

Furthermore—

The deaths of many demons in the current situation weren't entirely without benefits.

"It's almost time!"

"Once the Slaughter Qi of a hundred million sentient beings is gathered, the timing will be perfect!"

The Hananhai Demon Emperor's eyes burned with fervor, and his expression became slightly frenzied.

After a moment, he took a deep breath, calming the turmoil in his heart, and immediately summoned the other high-ranking members of the Ten Thousand Demon Ancestral Court. He then ordered them to launch a fierce attack on the Jieyu Channel.

Right after that, the Hananhai Demon Emperor moved his divine sense again.

In the next breath, several majestic shadows suddenly appeared.

The terrifying Imperial might filled the air, causing the void in the hall to bear immense pressure.

These shadows were all of the Demon Emperor level.

"Hananhai, why have you summoned us?"

"This Emperor wishes to open more Jieyu Channels to speed up the gathering of Slaughter Qi from sentient beings. However, to prevent humans from invading the Demon Realm, each Jieyu Channel must be guarded by a Demon Emperor.

Therefore, I hope that you will also take action to open and guard a channel!"

The Hananhai Demon Emperor sat upright on the main seat in the hall, looking at the other shadows, and spoke in a deep voice.

His words caused the brows of these Demon Emperors to furrow slightly.

"You've already opened one Jieyu Channel, and you still can't create a breach in the Primeval Ancient World?"

"Not bad... Although it's the Era of Evil Spirits, the Primeval Ancient World definitely doesn't have much foundation to draw upon. With your strength and the support of a hundred million demons, can you still not break through?"

These Demon Emperors were unwilling to open too many Jieyu Channels.

After all, the more channels opened, the greater the risks.

It was easy to open them, but destroying them was difficult.

This time, although the Demon Clan wanted to invade the Primeval Ancient World, they had to ensure that their foundation remained unaffected.

The Demon Realm was the foundation of the Demon Clan and must not be allowed to be invaded by humans.

A hundred thousand years ago, the human Emperor led numerous powerful beings into the Demon Realm, causing significant consequences. It took tens of thousands of years to barely mitigate the impact.

The Demon Emperors did not want to witness such a scene again.

The Hananhai Demon Emperor shook his head, "Although it's the Era of Evil Spirits, a top-tier powerful being has emerged from the humans, and he possesses an unparalleled Imperial artifact. I once fought him and ended up losing an arm.

Now, he has established a city and a defensive line at the channel, and all the demons who enter are being hunted down, making it almost impossible for them to take a step outside!"

The Hananhai Demon Emperor didn't try to hide the fact that he had lost an arm.

A loss was a loss!

There was nothing to deny.

Only this matter could convince the other Demon Emperors to step forward and open and guard the Jieyu Channels.

As expected, upon hearing the Hananhai Demon Emperor's words, the expressions of several Demon Emperors changed.

"You had your arm cut off by a human? Could it be some ancient, reclusive old man?"

"I'm not sure... There's no sign of aging on that person, and he's quite peculiar. He doesn't seem to be an Empire Aspirant, yet he possesses formidable combat power!"

"Even more so—"

"I suspect that he might be a powerful being who has attained enlightenment in the Era of Evil Spirits!"

The Hananhai Demon Emperor's expression became solemn as he recalled their previous battle.

Upon hearing this, one of the Demon Emperors immediately refuted, "It's impossible! In the Era of Evil Spirits, the Heavenly Dao suppresses all sentient beings, preventing them from becoming Saints, let alone reaching the Empire Aspirant Realm!"

The suppression of the Heavenly Dao!

Even an Emperor would find it challenging to break through.

The Hananhai Demon Emperor said, "The suppression of the Heavenly Dao is real, but who can guarantee that there's no means to break free from the shackles of the Era of Evil Spirits?

Moreover, his origin is not important. What matters is that there's a powerful being in the Primeval Ancient World right now, rivaling the High-ranked Demon Emperors!"

So, I hope you can help open the Jieyu Channel..."

The words echoed.

Several top Demon Emperors fell silent.

Moments later, in the Ten Thousand Demon Ancestral Court...

A lifeless ancient city trembled violently, and then began to shatter inch by inch.

A powerful being with two horns on its head, a sturdy body, and an aura of terrifying heat radiating from its entire being, emerged from the ancient city.

"Roar!"

This being let out a furious roar towards the sky, and the surging energy waves swept through the four directions, causing the void to shatter and fragment. The shock caused all the cultivators in the Ten Thousand Demon Ancestral Court to be startled and pale with fear.

"An ancient Demon Emperor has appeared!"

The suppression from the bloodline and the majestic imperial might were enough to reveal the origin of this being.

After the Hananhai Demon Emperor...

Another ancient Demon Emperor awakened.

Without waiting for the cultivators in the Ten Thousand Demon Ancestral Court to recover from their shock, another aura, no weaker than the previous one, burst forth.

One aura!

Two auras!

Three auras!

---

In a short time, eight auras appeared in the sky.

Together with the aura of the Hananhai Demon Emperor in the ancestral court's grand hall, a total of nine imperial might swept through the heavens and earth.

Not only did the Ten Thousand Demon Ancestral Court tremble, but even the other demons located a million miles away could clearly sense this disturbance.

The suppression from the life level made all the demons' faces pale with shock.

"Nine Demon Emperors!"

"This is the depth of the Ten Thousand Demon Ancestral Court!"

The powerful beings of the ancient demon clan looked towards the direction of the Ten Thousand Demon Ancestral Court, their faces turning solemn, even filled with awe.

Every single Demon Emperor was a top-tier existence within the demon clan.

The bloodline of such powerful beings was capable of directly nurturing a top-tier imperial family.

A single drop of their blood could suppress the stars.

A single breath could destroy mountains.

Many top-tier forces didn't even have one such being.

Yet, the Ten Thousand Demon Ancestral Court now had nine Demon Emperors.

Everyone understood that this was not the full extent of the Ten Thousand Demon Ancestral Court's strength.

After all, in this era of the End of Law, the Ten Thousand Demon Ancestral Court would not reveal all its trump cards.

Nine Demon Emperors!

This was just the tip of the iceberg.

Even so, with this level of power, the Ten Thousand Demon Ancestral Court's supremacy was assured.

---

In the Northern Domain, the heavens shattered, and the void broke apart!

A massive surge of demonic power emerged, shaking the entire Northern Domain. Many sect forces and hidden experts looked towards the source of the disturbance, their faces turning grave.

"The Jieyu Channel!"

The awakened ancient Saint seemed to have realized something, and his face changed dramatically.

Not a single word or content was missed in the 269 Book Bar!

Opening the Jieyu Channel!

Only Demon Emperor-level beings could accomplish such a feat.

At the same time, in the ancient Feng Clan...

All the powerful beings gathered.

In the grand hall of the Feng Clan, a middle-aged cultivator dressed in a dark robe appeared. He had a refined appearance, a long beard, and an air of a well-read scholar.

If not for his seated position and the terrifying aura emanating from him, it would have been easy to mistake him for someone else.

This was Feng Muqing, the old ancestor of the Feng Clan, a powerful being in the Holy King Realm.

In his early years, Feng Muqing had no interest in cultivation, preferring to indulge in literature and art. It was only in his later years that he suddenly realized his path, and within a few thousand years, he directly reached the Sixth Heaven of the Great Saint Realm.

Unfortunately, by that time, the End of Law was approaching. Otherwise, with Feng Muqing's talent, he might have even achieved more.

"Paying respects to Old Ancestor Feng Muqing!"

Led by Feng Tianci, the head of the Feng Clan, many of the clan's high-ranking members bowed respectfully.

Among them was Fang Chen.

Initially, with Fang Chen's cultivation at the Fourth Level of the Dao Palace Realm, he naturally didn't have the qualifications to be present here.

However, Fang Chen had married into the Feng Clan, and his wife was the daughter of the clan's head, Feng Qingyue, so his status was naturally not low.

Moreover, Fang Chen's Sword Heart Enlightenment and exceptional talent had earned him the clan's cultivation.

Therefore, under these circumstances...

Fang Chen was now considered a half-high-ranking member of the Feng Clan.

Feng Muqing looked at the younger generation of the Feng Clan before him, and his gaze paused slightly on Fang Chen before he withdrew his gaze.

A Sword Heart Enlightened genius was indeed worthy of Feng Muqing's attention.

Of course, it was just a bit of attention.

In the end, with Feng Muqing's cultivation and age, he had seen countless geniuses, and there were many who surpassed Fang Chen.

Not to mention, as someone who achieved cultivation in his later years and reached the Sixth Heaven of the Holy King Realm, Feng Muqing himself was a top-tier genius.

"Not long ago, there was a Demon Clan's presence in the Northern Domain, and if I haven't guessed wrong, it should be due to a Demon forcefully opening a Jieyu Channel!"

As soon as Feng Muqing spoke, all the members of the Feng Clan paled.

Jieyu Channel!

They naturally understood what these four words represented.

Feng Tianci anxiously asked, "If the Jieyu Channel is opened, it means a Demon Emperor is involved. If that's the case, how can our Feng Clan withstand it?"

Demon Emperor!

That was an existence comparable to an Empire Aspirant! During the Feng Clan's most glorious ancient times, they could only produce an Empire Aspirant.

Even so.

The afterglow of that Empire Aspirant was what allowed the entire Feng Clan to shine until today.

This shows.

The existence of an Empire Aspirant is truly terrifying.

Even with Feng Muqing, a powerful Saint King 6th Heaven, reviving in the Feng Clan, the other high-ranking members had no confidence.

There was no other way.

The Saint King 6th Heaven and the Empire Aspirant were separated by several minor realms and a major realm.

Saint King 9th Heaven! Each step was like ascending to the heavens!

Not to mention the gap between Saint King and Empire Aspirant, which was an insurmountable chasm.

Compared to the panic of others, Feng Muqing remained unusually calm.

"The opening of the Jieyu Channel is inevitable, but you don't need to worry. We in the Northern Domain also have some foundation."

A Demon Emperor wouldn't dare to act recklessly in the Northern Domain; they don't have that qualification yet.

Moreover, a powerful being like that wouldn't easily step into the Primeval Ancient World. All we need to do is face the endless Demon army!"

After saying this, everyone instinctively breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing their reactions, Feng Muqing shook his head slightly, "Don't think this will be easy. The number of Demons is astonishing, and this endless Demon army will be a significant problem."

As far as I know, the Demon Clan has conquered countless worlds in the Chaos Starry Sky, using them as their nourishment.

By now, the number of Demons has likely reached an absolutely astonishing level.

If hundreds of millions of Demons were to sweep through, the consequences would be unimaginable."

As he spoke, Feng Muqing's expression became unusually grave.

Hundreds of millions of Demons!

This was an extremely terrifying number.

The Feng Clan members, who had just relaxed, paled again.

"Please instruct us, Elder!"

Feng Tianci, as the clan leader, quickly regained his composure and bowed to Feng Muqing again.

Feng Muqing said, "Our Feng Clan is a human force. Now, facing the Demon invasion, we can't turn a blind eye. We must immediately dispatch heavy troops to guard each city, preventing Demon disturbances."

At the same time, we should also gather a batch of elite cultivators to head to the Jieyu Channel to resist the main Demon force!"

After a pause, Feng Muqing continued, "You can rest assured about this matter. The Demon calamity is not just our Feng Clan's problem; other forces will also take action, and even some ancient family sects won't stand by idly."

Finally, Feng Muqing added, "I will also personally take action!"

His words made the many high-ranking Feng Clan members solemn.

Feng Muqing leading the team personally indicated the importance of this matter.

Soon, Feng Tianci strictly followed Feng Muqing's instructions and began to pass down orders.

The Feng Clan, as an ancient force that has endured to this day, had numerous industries and owned many cities.

To put it bluntly.

The Feng Clan was more like a small dynasty than a family.

To be precise.

The Feng Clan had not yet gathered the fortune of a dynasty.

But just relying on the cities and territories controlled by the Feng Clan, as well as the number of cultivators, not to mention a dynasty, even many imperial dynasties and emperor dynasties were inferior.

It's just that the Feng Clan usually kept a low profile, and with the reputation of an ancient family, no one would provoke them without reason. Therefore, there weren't many forces that truly understood the Feng Clan's foundation.

But this time was different.

With Feng Muqing's orders and Feng Tianci's transmission, the entire Feng Clan was shaken.

The deeply hidden foundation was revealed at this moment.

An army of over ten million cultivators, with the weakest being at the Master Realm, directly took over the defense of numerous cities, ensuring that the Demons wouldn't take advantage of the situation.

Immediately after.

Another batch of ten thousand elites, with the weakest at the Divine Transformation Realm, was personally led by Feng Muqing towards the Jieyu Channel.

When this news spread.

The entire Northern Domain and other major domains were shocked.

At this moment.

These forces finally understood what the true foundation of an ancient family was.

These ancient forces usually kept a low profile, but when their foundation was truly revealed, it was enough to astonish the world.
