Chapter 1323: Demonification

“This is…”

A middle-aged man with a stubble in commoner’s robes walked out from a grand tent that resembled a palace, gazing at the sky in surprise. It was not that he had not witnessed the birth of a demonic seed before. Instead, he had never seen or heard of one that could cause such a significant phenomenon.

The Demon domain was boundless, well beyond anything that the nine provinces could compare to. If the nine provinces were a small lake, then the Demon domain was a tremendous ocean. It was impossible for a small lake to produce any large fish, while divine dragons could swim freely through the ocean.

Its twisted and wicked will filled every single grain of dust. Perhaps there was no inherent difference from the will of the world in the nine provinces, but when a small lake rippled, the ocean surged and raged. Even true dragons could not swim against its current. If they could move with the current, then they would obtain endless assistance, just like everything was easier when the timing was right.

And throughout history, demonic seeds were like carps that swam with the flow. They were also divided in terms of quality. The more pure they were, the more tempting they were.

The aura from the demonic seed being born in the sky right now even tempted this man whose willpower was as pure and consolidated as a sword.

He loathed this uncontrollable feeling, which was why he did not fly over on his sword to devour the demonic seed. What he loathed even more was the slight chill in the depths of his heart. He felt like the demonic seed was filled with disaster and bad omen.

Regular demonfolk were unable to resist this temptation, let alone those mindless demonic beasts.

A strange bird spread its greenish-black bat wings and swept away all of the demonfolk within several metres of it with a great gust of wind, rushing into the air.

Caw!

The sharp, ear-splitting cry was like the horn blown when charging. Hundreds of thousand of demonfolk flew towards the demonic seed.

At that moment, the sky was blotted out. Hell was raised.

The man’s gaze was like a sword. He stood still without budging. Even as the commander of this army, he did not try to stop this reverie. Gazing out, all of the Demon Kings under his command remained where they were, ready to spectate what was about to happen. None of them acted carelessly, guarding against each other at the same time. In the end, their gazes all gathered on him. No one could compete against him for the demonic seed.

“Sir Demon Emperor, what do we do?”

“We wait!”

In the very depths of the swirl, two voices, a man’s and a woman’s, engaged in an intense dispute. Two wills clashed desperately.

“Bitch, get out of me!” the man roared as he resisted the will of the heavens. With his absolute force, he maintained an absolute upper hand.

“Hehehehe, trash, failure, emperor cuck…” The woman laughed madly, bringing up these phrases with absolute flexibility, directly attacking the man’s sore spots.

“All of the women in the world deserve to die!” The man’s inner demons danced about madly. He was absolutely furious, tempted to perish together with her.

“Oh my! Just how sad would your mother be if she heard that!” However, the woman never treated death as a threat. She began to mock the man’s uselessness even more freely.

It was like a conflict between man and woman that never changed since time immemorial, a conflict between rationality and emotions, between force and flexibility. No matter how forceful the man was, he was unable to completely conquer the delicate woman, just like how rationality could never exterminate emotions, as the woman’s body nurtured the “blessing of the heavens”.

In the centre of the swirl, this body of the true dragon that had been combined with the flesh and blood of numerous great cultivators and great Daemon Kings bobbed up and down. It was like a child tossed aside with no one to care for it even though it was the exact reason why the dispute occurred in the first place.

As a result, it began to grow recklessly and fearlessly. Demon qi surged into it, making it swell to a thousand times of its original times. It turned into a gold-scaled snake that possessed a pair of dragon eyes, twisting and wriggling its body violently like it was mad.

The Demon Emperor was tense. Such a large entity definitely would not be an easy opponent. The Demon Kings even began to consider retreating, basically giving up on devouring the demonic seed.

The giant snake swallowed all of the demon qi as it fell to the ground. It fell into the colossal army at first before producing a great rumble and landing on the ground heavily, crushing countless demonfolk to pulp.

However, even more demonfolk surged over, swallowing the snake as a black mass. From high above, they seemed like a swarm of ants trying to split up a dead snake.

Rumble. The snake wriggled its body, grinding against the ground with each motion.

Crack, crack! Bones shattered. Spurt, spurt! Blood and flesh sprayed everywhere.

The sounds were all mixed together, enough for people to shiver and grow numb. In the blink of an eye, it had turned the land into a swamp of flesh and blood. It was filled with remains and severed limbs. The reeking of blood directly filled the air.

However, the maddening atmosphere did not end. Instead, it escalated even further. Demonfolk continued to throw themselves at the giant snake.

Most of those that were crushed to a pulp were regular demonfolk. The Demon Generals and Demon Commanders were like soldier ants that possessed wings, moving through the air with great agility. They simply allowed the other demonfolk to wear down the giant snake.

Gradually, the giant snake stopped wriggling as if it had used up all of its strength during the struggle, laying on the ground like it was dead and allowing the ant swarm to cover it.

Its golden scales were extremely tough, but it could not stop the teeth and claws of so many demonfolk. It was torn off and stripped away bit by bit.

The demonfolk feasted on the sweet flesh and blood of a true dragon with great gulps. The mysterious power contained within the demonic seed left them a hundred times more energetic than before, becoming even more fervent.

“That’s it?”

The Demon Emperor was stunned. If that was all it was capable of, that was basically even worse than a regular wild beast. It was a waste of such a terrifying amount of power.

He had a feeling that the giant snake was not struggling against the demonfolk, instead contending against an invisible enemy. Just what had happened in the nine provinces?

He could not help but glance at the demon caverns in the sky; his eyes suddenly narrowed. All he saw was a strange, twisted sword hovering directly below the black demon caverns. He exclaimed uncontrollably, “The Deviance sword!”

Originally, he was just about to go and take the demonic seed for himself when he saw how the giant snake had stopped struggling, but now, he could not be bothered with that anymore. He immediately formed a seal. With a swoosh, the sword on his back exited its sheath. He rushed over on it soon afterwards, leaving behind a streak of violet light as he shot towards the sword.

He saw the ground from the corner of his eye, only to see the Demon Kings throwing themselves at the giant snake from every direction, killing all demonfolk that dared to block their paths and carving up the snake’s body. In order to eat faster, they even directly demonified.

He sneered inside, I’ll let you eat a little for now. If you dare to devour the demonic seed, you’ll be asking to die!

To him, the Deviance sword was even more important than the demonic seed. It was the main reason why he gave up on cultivation and personally led the invasion against the nine provinces. As he rapidly grew closer, he clutched another sword on his waist cautiously. He still had to be wary of the sword spirit within Deviance.

However, even when he grabbed the hilt, the Deviance sword still did not respond.

He could not help but laugh aloud. “It really all comes down to luck after all, not effort! Once I obtain the demonic seed, what I’ve gained will definitely be no less than taking down the nine provinces!”

At this moment, miserable howls rang out from below. He discovered in shock that the howls actually came from the Demon Kings under his command.

All of these Demon Kings were extremely brutal beings. Who knew how many slaughters they had been through before reaching where they were standing right now. They had almost grown numb to pain. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would basically be unable to believe that pain could make them produce a sound like that. It was basically as if they had… fallen into the Hell realm.

The giant snake continued to lay on the swamp of flesh and blood without budging at all.
