Chapter 445

"Looking at it, it really is like that!"

Mu Yi surveyed the demon king army beneath his feet; he had already realized that these demon king armies resonated with the earth below, as if they inherently belonged to the earth.

The ferocious lizardmen roared, raising their weapons high; blue-white electric arcs danced on the blades, gathering more and more until they turned the blades entirely blue-white.

A bolt of lightning as thick as a water bucket struck upward from below into the clouds.

The already dim heavens grew even darker, as iron‑black lead clouds gathered, and dense lightning flickered within them.

In the next instant, the heavens collapsed!

In the sky, they coalesced into a sea of silver‑white lightning, which now poured down directly.

In an instant, the world was dyed a sheet of silver‑white.

Mu Yi hovered above the heavens; the Hungry Ghost Path barrier unfolded beneath his feet, absorbing all the thunderbolts aimed at him, with not a bit leaking elsewhere.

Watching the lizardmen move, Mu Yi was somewhat surprised; this technique far surpassed an ordinary Legend, and the weapon in their hands was likely a treasure.

Well‑equipped and of strong quality, the demon king army was far stronger than he had imagined.

No wonder they needed so many demigod‑level experts to join the assault.

But being mixed in among them, he felt somewhat out of place.

Mu Yi drew his bow in the void; heaven and earth essence condensed into a massive radiance, which then shot forth, directly annihilating the bodies of the lizardmen who had summoned the thunder.

Although they possessed some strength, before the present Mu Yi they were simply too fragile.

He had little interest in personally taking action.

Heart follows intent!

Accompanying Mu Yi's thought, the Six Paths Reincarnation opened; the Human Path army surged forth on the raging sea of blood, charging toward the demon king army.

Facing a great army, naturally one must also meet it with a great army.

As the empty bowstring was drawn with the arrow, heaven and earth essence directly formed a seven‑colored arrow on the string, which then was released.

"Boom—rumble!"

The arrow struck the ground and exploded directly.

However, an explosion capable of blasting a pit tens of meters wide left only a faint trace on the ground.

"Indeed, this land is another form of divine realm!"

Mu Yi nodded, his suspicion further confirmed.

"Between demigod and deity, using this method to cut corners… is this the true meaning of ascension?"

Mu Yi stroked his chin, a bit curious about what was really happening inside the demon king's city.

According to his assessment of the situation, although this demon king's rank lies between demigod and deity, its true power even surpasses that of an ordinary deity.

After all, this is his divine realm; though it cannot move, it is nonetheless a genuine divine realm.

These monsters before us, rather than being the demon king's army, are more like his followers; thus, the greater their number, the stronger the demon king's power becomes.

"Interesting, truly interesting!"

Mu Yi pointed a finger, and the Heavenly Human Path fully empowered the army.

The originally evenly matched sides instantly saw their balance collapse; the Six Paths army surged through the demon king forces like a bamboo splitter.

However, from the horizon one could see countless demon king armies still advancing toward this place.

"The fallen demon king soldiers will return to chaos through the earth and then revive? Quite a clever idea!"

The more Mu Yi observed, the more he felt that this world's demon king was a thoughtful individual.

"So‑called heroes subduing the demon king—are they actually deities preventing the birth of another deity?"

Mu Yi looked through the phenomena to the essence and discovered this was a game between deities, with the demon king being a piece that wants to jump off the board.

The so‑called Ascension War is precisely the tribulation of the demon king becoming a deity.

Therefore, the demon king accumulates such profound foundations long before he could become a deity, then begins the path to godhood.

If it weren't for this being a spacetime fragment, Mu Yi would really like to chat with this demon king to see what he's actually thinking.

But if it's merely a spacetime fragment, then let him digest this foundation!

"Then I won't hold back!"

Mu Yi landed on the ground, and the Six Paths Reincarnation barrier began to erode the earth beneath his feet.

Every inch the barrier expands represents Mu Yi claiming a region.

And Mu Yi's movements seemed to provoke the demon king army's wrath, with ever more of them charging toward his direction.

Even a towering demon tore a gap in the midst of the great army.

Mu Yi stared curiously at that figure; despite the Six Paths army being fully empowered and superior in quality to the demon king forces, a monster appeared capable of sweeping through the Six Paths army unmatched—truly a rare existence.

It was a colossal beast over ten meters tall.

Its body was pitch black, its waist wrapped in somewhat tattered red silk, with over a hundred humanoid skulls strung together and bound around the waist as a belt. Heavy gold ornaments hung on its shoulders, and one of its pair of massive horns on the head was broken, the fracture surface smooth and flat, as if cleanly severed by a sharp weapon.

A tuft of red hair extended from its crown down its spine, its ferocious might towering while also carrying a strong ominous aura.

In its hand it wielded a massive axe; a horizontal sweep could even launch all the Six Paths soldiers before it into the air.

"Is this one of the Dark Four Heavenly Kings of the demon king army?"

Mu Yi could sense that this fellow was likely the Dark Four Heavenly King mentioned by the holy knight at the outset, since an ordinary demigod could not achieve such a feat.

Even Ao Mo, the fiercest fighter in the Six Paths army, is no match for this Bull Heavenly King; with exaggerated violence he leads a horde of demon king troops to tear a breach in the Six Paths formation.

"Perfect, let's test some new abilities on you!"

As Mu Yi's words fell, the violent airflow turned frenzied, instantly becoming a tempest; the heavy killing intent on the battlefield was sucked into the whirlwind, which then swept straight toward the Bull Heavenly King.

The demon king army was tossed east and west by the tempest.

Some weak demons, blown by the wind, fell like wheat—one after another—then were all drawn into the tempest.

Their insignificant strength and weight could not allow them to steady themselves in the tempest.

【63】

"Gather evil to become soldiers!" no.

The murderous wind that had devoured who-knows-how-many demons began to gather toward Mu Yi, constantly compressing in his hand, finally turning into a spear several meters long.

Upon close observation, one could see that the spear still contained a constantly swirling murderous wind; it had simply been forcibly shaped into a weapon.

Bull Demon Heavenly King, Demon King

none.

Hefting the exaggerated murderous‑qi weapon in his hand, it was truly unsuitable for his current build.

Heaven-Earth Dharma

As his divine ability awakened, the dormant blood in Mu Yi's body rapidly heated up, and his inner qi kept draining.

In the next instant, a towering figure abruptly appeared upon the earth.

At this moment, the pain in its body was irrelevant to the bull.

It laboriously lifted its head, gazing up at the towering figure standing before it, which filled it with despair at its enormity.

His build was already colossal, yet at this moment it was still not even as tall as the opponent's foot.

Even among the many mountains he had seen in his life, few could surpass this giant before him, let alone any living creature.

Perhaps only a great demon lord could deal with such a monster?

The Bull King unconsciously thought, his heart now completely devoid of courage to oppose such a monster.

It did not feel that the giant before it was merely a hollow showpiece.

Nevertheless, the Bull King bravely raised his weapon and launched an attack against Mu Yi.

Demon King, Dark Four Heavenly Kings

How could he possibly be frightened by difficulties?

"Courage commendable!" a thunderous voice issued from Mu Yi's mouth as the murderous‑wind spear in his hand came crashing down.

The brave Bull King who charged forward was instantly blown to pieces, his flesh and blood completely devoured by the murderous wind.

No matter how brave, one could never bridge the chasm of sheer power disparity.

Demon King's Army

However, after only a moment's hesitation, they continued their charge.

To kneel and live, to stand and die—perhaps it is a difficult choice.

But when both standing and kneeling mean death, the choice becomes simple.

Mu Yi satisfied them, raising the murderous‑wind spear high and then hurling it toward the distance.

The next moment, the gathered murderous wind began to sweep across the demon lord's army at the far horizon.

【Zongwang Prompt: You have earned the title: War Slaughterer】

【Zongwang Prompt: You have earned the title: Demon Exterminator】

none.

Mu Yi glanced at the Zongwang Prompt, no longer paying attention to the battlefield, and began to devote himself wholly to eroding the earth.

The power contained within the earth was also a supplement for him.

Demon King, Divine Realm

none.

Mu Yi suddenly lifted his head, gazed toward the sky, and felt that someone was spying on him.

"What monster! Get out here!"

Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Blade, Frenzy

Secondary Plane

A terrifying storm burst from the torn void, but before it could sweep forth, it was driven back by an even more frenzied current; in that attached sub‑plane, an apocalyptic disaster was about to unfold.

However, a light appeared, and that apocalyptic‑like disaster was silently quelled.

【107】 Radiant Goddess

Mu Yi sensed from the other's body the same divine aura that had emanated from that earlier hero.

"Foreigner, why don't you go fulfill your mission!"

"Radiant Goddess" = "Radiant Goddess". So include "Radiant Goddess". Also "Radiant Goddess" appears.

"Mission? I'm already dealing with the demon lord's army!" Mu Yi raised his eyebrows, instantly understanding.

It turned out this land had long been eyed by the gods; he wondered why no deity had occupied it, only to realize it was not yet time to divide the spoils.

His meddling, however, gave those hidden gods behind the scenes something to complain about.

"Leave this place, go to the Demon Lord's City, and fulfill your mission!"

Hearing Mu Yi feign ignorance, the goddess's tone instantly turned cold, and she issued a stern command.

none.

Mu Yi, Great Hero Dragon Sparrow Blade

"Heretic, you're seeking death!"

Radiant Goddess, Sailiweiya

【Radiant Goddess's authority is spreading; in this world, you will be suppressed by divine power, your overall attributes will be slightly weakened, and your will, actions, and thoughts will all be disturbed.】

Divine Realm Authority

Watching the constantly refreshing prompts on his retina, Mu Yi felt somewhat surprised.

Besides the Zongwang Prompt, he could also feel that the Radiant Goddess's suppression, when it fell upon the earth, was being counteracted by the power of the Demon Lord's land.

The monsters that had been frenziedly dealing with him, upon looking up at the radiant goddess in the heavens, became even more frenzied, directing all their attacks at her.

He even completely ignored the Six Paths army right at his doorstep.

"A bunch of ants, seeking death!"

As the Radiant Goddess's words fell, radiance spread over the ground, and every demon shrouded in it turned as if petrified, their bodies becoming grayish-white before dissipating in the wind.

Mu Yi could clearly feel that these demons were reborn into the earth with boundless resentment.

The power within the earth gathered under this emotion and then converged toward the Demon King's City.

"Looks like there's still a story behind this!"

Mu Yi wasn't surprised by this situation; just by looking at the Radiant Goddess's appearance, he could guess a few things.

Besides, these weren't his concern; since the so-called Radiant Goddess took the initiative to attack him, he couldn't be blamed for being ruthless.

Without extra words, he directly swung his blade to chop.

A blade of light spanned heaven and earth, directly smearing onto the Radiant Goddess's face.

"Damn it! You shall die!"

The Radiant Goddess, suddenly smeared with a blade, flew into a rage.

Afterward, in the starry sky above the firmament, a streak of flowing light fell.

When the intense light faded, the Radiant Goddess appeared upon the earth.

She held a flag-bearing spear in her hand, her expression filled with incomparable rage; upon the spearhead clung patches of still-wet crimson, the blood of spirits, a symbol of the glory of her master's past victorious campaigns.

"She's actually a war god—truly unexpected!"

I had thought she was a magic-type deity, but she turned out to be a war god; the oppressive aura emanating from her filled Mu Yi with fighting spirit.

He had just returned from special training; this female war god before him was the perfect sparring partner.

"Come fight!"

He strode forward, his blade descending with the aura to cleave all.
