Chapter 36: The Emergence of the Demon Clan

Chapter 36: The Emergence of the Demon Clan
Chapter 3, The Emergence of the Demon Clan.
The continent encompasses countless races, each with its own unique traits and strengths.
Birds in the sky, beasts on land, creatures in the water, there is an abundance of life. But there is one particular group that is despised and rejected by all races, known as the demons!
The Huoyuan Dynasty also recorded in the calendar that this ethnic group, known as [demon], absorbs the essence of heaven and earth, seizes the creation of heaven and earth, and harms the living beings of heaven and earth. It has no substance or form and can transform into all things, thus it is called a demon!
Thousands of years ago, the world was in harmony, and at the beginning of chaos, there was a mist.
Magic also stands out and confronts powerful groups such as buddhas, gods, immortals, demons, and ghosts.
A thousand years ago, the demon clan emerged and brought calamities to the world, leaving barrenness wherever they went! This also ignited anger among all clans, and they launched a joint attack. After a hundred years of arduous struggle, the demon clan finally vanished without a trace.
At midnight,
Wen Hua and Si Kong Zhen are on night guard duty, allowing others to sleep peacefully.
"Refer to Xuan?" In the darkness, a black mist spoke.
"Devour him!?" Another group of black mist spoke after finishing its words.
"Agree!" Immediately, another figure of black mist chimed in.
Eerie laughter echoed, sending shivers down one's spine. Wave after wave of powerful black mist appeared out of thin air.
While holding the sword and closing his eyes to meditate, Wen Hua suddenly shivered, which also raised the suspicion of Sikong Zhen standing next to him. Sikong Zhen asked, "What's wrong?" Wen Hua smiled and said, "We have guests."

From a distance in the woods, a massive black bear sprang out. Seeing this, Sīkōng Zhèn stood up from the ground and walked straight towards it.
The bear's crimson eyes filled people's hearts with fear. When there was still a distance of ten meters between them, Sīkōng Zhèn's eyes suddenly emitted two thunderous serpent-like rays!
The black bear that realized the danger quickly called upon the essence of heaven and earth within its body to defend itself.
It was a sixth stage spirit beast, in the form of a diamond-like being.
Sikong Zhen calmly uttered, "Penetrate!"
Once again looking over, the night sky was illuminated by a purple light for a moment. The colossal body collapsed and, after three breaths, it transformed into a thick black mist that dissipated into the world.
"Kill him!" an uncontrollable voice sounded.
A wave after wave of black mist attacked. Three experts at the Profound Realm! Seventeen at the Diamond Realm! Fifty-two at the Half-Step Diamond Realm!
Even the calm and poised Wen Hua, standing by with a sword in his embrace, couldn't hide his shocked expression at this terrifying lineup. However, he didn't rush to take action, but quietly observed the battle.
A thunderous sound resonated in the distance.
Surrounded by enemies, Sikuang Zhen remains calm and collected. Suddenly, he leaps into the air and summons the thunder of the heavens.
With disheveled hair and hands charged with lightning, Sikuang Zhen proclaims, "On the path to enlightenment, there will surely be thorns and obstacles!"
As he spoke these words, his cultivation continuously soared.
Half-step Heavenly Phenomenon,
Heavenly Phenomenon Realm,
Initial Heavenly Phenomenon Stage!
All "devils" stopped in their tracks, their bodies and minds inexplicably weakened, and their heads turned blank.
A Mordor trembled and said, "This is not just an overgrown thorn bush, it's a mountain of knives and a sea of fire! Only a fool would come here!"
Without a doubt, a massacre was about to begin.
Awakened by the thunderous sound, a soundly sleeping Lu Qi steps out of his tent only to witness a breathtaking sight!
Hovering in mid-air, Sikong Zhen is relentlessly chasing wave after wave of mysterious black objects. Sensing Lu Qi's presence, Wen Hua gives him a knowing smile.
Daybreak.
Although the matter of the demon clan was just a small episode, it actually caused earth-shattering changes in this world.
For the entire continent, the three demon clan members at the Profound Realm may not cause much of a stir, but in this northwest region, it is a desolate place and there happen to be three Profound Realm demon clan existences!
If that's the case,
then what about the bustling Central Plains? The Ten Thousand Mountains to the south, the extreme cold forbidden land to the north? The endless abyss to the west, or the sacred land of a hundred tribes to the east? It's hard to imagine the number and strength of the demon race hidden within!
In this expedition to the Five Saints' Secret Realm, Lu Qi has already deduced its extraordinary nature.
The Demon Clan is undoubtedly involved as well.
With no time to spare, Lu Qi and the others continue their journey.
After another half a month of traveling, the group has crossed the territory of the Boar Dynasty and arrived at the second stop of the Five Saints' Mountain Range, the Hundred Spears Mountain Range!
The Bai Ge Mountains stretch unceasingly, with some towering into the clouds and featuring treacherous terrain. There are many hidden dangers in the dense and impenetrable forests, and there is no shortage of powerful Qi demons that have reached the realm of gold.
Even with the presence of the celestial elder Wen Hua, the ten individuals in a row still maintain their vigilance. This not only shows respect for the world of qi cultivation but also indicates reverence for life.
Lu Qi murmurs to himself: "Has the world degenerated?"
"Ah?" Hua Wu, who was by the side, was a bit puzzled by the statement.
Lu Qi explained the reason: "The secret realm has likely existed for a long time, even since ancient times. As descendants, why do we still need to seek out techniques, skills, weapons, and treasures from the secret realm to improve ourselves? After millions of years of evolution, everything we possess (skills, techniques, treasures, weapons) should have already been enhanced, so why are they not as good as those from ancient times?"
This question has made everyone ponder deeply. Has the world regressed?
Sikong Zhen has seen through many things, and he said: "The world has not regressed, nor will it regress. It is just that the world has been divided into two. The top-tier techniques are controlled by the major clans, while the weaker ones are spread out. As for the ordinary techniques that have been left behind from ancient times, they have become the capital for the bottom-level ethnic groups to fight for."
At this moment, Bai Xiaobao, the foolish girl, suddenly became puzzled. She said, "Why would the powerful Demon Clan go to a weak Five Saints secret realm?"
As soon as the words fell,
the scene fell silent.
Everyone seemed to have thought of something, and a sense of crisis surged in their hearts.
An old man in the Golden Gorilla Realm broke the silence and said, "Can I withdraw from this trip to the Five Holy Mountains?"
With these words, Lu Qi took out a token from his waist and threw it to the old man, saying, "I won't stop you from making your choice."
Out of a group of ten people, five withdrew.
Now, only Wen Hua, Si Kong Zhen, Lu Qi, Bai Xiaobao, and Princess Huowu, the five powerful Gold-Element Realm experts of the Fire Yuan Dynasty, remained.
If the demons participate in the Wusheng Mountains expedition, they will undoubtedly face nine deaths and may even die a tenth time with no chance of resurrection or burial. Princess Huo Wu, representing the entire Fire Element Dynasty, would bring shame upon the royal family if she chooses to return. Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with!
The sky gradually darkened,
and torrential rain poured down.
In the Bai Ge Mountains,
Lu Qi held the wooden horse ox while fighting alone against powerful spirit beasts coming from all directions, with Bai Xiao Bao standing beside him ready to turn the tide with his sword and dagger. Wen Hua and Si Kong Zhen stood nearby, observing the battle, and even the weak Fire Dance did the same.
Blood flows like a river, corpses cover the ground. Lu Qi has long become accustomed to this.
One demon after another falls,
The cooperation between Bai Xiaobao and Lu Qi becomes increasingly proficient, reaching a state of perfection.
Seeing this, Wen Hua couldn't help but praise and say to Sikong Zhen, "The collaboration between these two individuals is truly unique. Despite the limited time, they have achieved such a remarkable level. It's truly astonishing!"
Sikong Zhen also nodded in agreement: "Not bad."
"Trespassing our mountain range, killing our people, daring to do so!" Just as Lu Qi was having an exhilarating killing spree, a roar erupted.
In the sky, a golden beam of light descended, crashing loudly onto the ground, causing dust to fly.
At this moment, all the spirit monsters also cease their attack.
"Oh? A boss has arrived," Wen Hua couldn't help but laugh.
The dust settles, revealing the appearance of the newcomer.
