Chapter 478: Crossing the Underworld Demon River

This face made Shen Shen Jingbin surprised, yet not all that surprised.

If it were this person, the intense sense of familiarity he had just felt could be explained.

He scrutinized the face beneath the Demon Venerable's mask, and then a joyful smile could not help but appear on his face.

"Wow, Jeanne d'Arc, eat mud, hahahaha, oops!"

Shen Shen Jingbin looked at the Demon Venerable from the left, then from the right, clicking his tongue in wonder.

The Demon Venerable remained expressionless, putting the mask that Shen Shen Jingbin had torn off back onto his face.

"I say, when did you become the Demon Venerable? In that case, aren't the Demon race and the Human race one big family now?"

Shen Shen Jingbin leaned in intimately, but the next second, the Demon Venerable pressed a palm against his chest.

Shen Shen Jingbin scratched his head. He looked down at the Demon Venerable's palm, then looked up at those cold purple eyes, asking in some disbelief.

"You're attacking me?"

Responding to Shen Shen Jingbin was the terrifying power erupting from the Demon Venerable's palm.

Demonic Qi, like steel needles, instantly pierced through Shen Shen Jingbin's body, and fresh blood splattered in all directions.

Along with Shen Shen Jingbin's body, his embryonic Six Paths of Reincarnation Divine Domain was also pierced through.

The Six Great Worlds collapsed and perished completely amidst a series of earth-shaking tremors.

Shen Shen Jingbin stared at the person before him in disbelief; he had never expected the other party to actually attack him.

He had absolutely no defenses up, and this single strike had stripped him of all his combat power.

The space behind him shattered bit by bit, and Shen Shen Jingbin's broken body drifted straight out.

His gaze remained locked onto the Demon Venerable.

The moment he fell into the boundless void, a glimmer of clarity suddenly appeared in the depths of Shen Shen Jingbin's eyes, and all his past memories flooded into his mind at this moment.

He seemed to... understand.

Boom!

Terrifying Demonic Qi raged forth, annihilating everything instantly.

The eyes of the several Demon Emperors watching the battle from afar were filled with terror.

No matter how many times they saw Lord Demon Venerable strike, it always left them shocked.

Too terrifying!

That level of power was no different from crushing them like ants.

This simply shouldn't be power that ordinary living beings could control.

"The Mad Emperor isn't dead yet; take him to heal."

The Demon Venerable coldly dropped this sentence and vanished into the void.

"Yes! Lord Demon Venerable!"

The several Demon Emperors lowered their heads respectfully; for them, the Demon Venerable's command was destiny!

After dealing with Shen Shen Jingbin, the Demon Venerable returned to his palace.

Inside his palace, there was currently a coffin made entirely of extreme ice; this coffin was crystal clear and radiated an intense chill.

The Demon Venerable placed his hand on the coffin and pushed the entire lid open instantly!

"Achoo!"

Ye Lin suddenly sneezed.

"Strange... has the temperature in the Demon Realm dropped recently?"

Ye Lin frowned in some confusion.

"Forget it, why worry about that? Time to keep raiding homes!"

Ye Lin rubbed his hands excitedly; the Earth Spirit Demon race's sphere of influence had been expanding ever wider, and his own strength was also climbing unceasingly.

Because the Demon Emperor-level combatants were basically either busy attacking the Human race or busy refining him.

So, after expanding for so long, Ye Lin had not encountered a single bit of resistance.

The Earth Spirit Demon race's sphere of influence was infiltrating deeper into the Demon Realm bit by bit.

Xiao Ji was excitedly reporting the recent battle situation to him.

"Lord Earth Spirit Demon Emperor, in these past three days, we have wiped out three more factions presided over by Demon Emperors and seized a large amount of supplies. Now, within our Earth Spirit Demon race, there are already seven Demon Kings!"

"This number is even greater than at the most glorious time in the history of our Earth Spirit Demon race. Lord Demon Emperor, you are truly the restorer of the Earth Spirit Demon race!"

Ye Lin nodded calmly.

"If we continue to expand, whose territory will we reach next?"

"Reporting to you, my lord, everything around us that could be wiped out has already been wiped out. There is only one path to continue expanding, and that is to cross the Underworld Demon River and expand toward the true core of the Demon Realm!"

Xiao Ji wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"The tribes on the other side of the Underworld Demon River are all extremely powerful, with at least three Demon Emperors presiding over them, and we might even provoke Demon Emperors."

"We haven't had time to digest many of the resources we've obtained during this period, so it would be best if we rested and recuperated for a while before crossing the Underworld Demon River."

Ye Lin glanced at him.

"Are you telling me how to do my job?"

"Xiao Ji wouldn't dare!"

With one look from Ye Lin, Xiao Ji instantly knelt on the ground; during this time, he had seen with his own eyes just how decisive and ruthless this Lord Demon Emperor of his was.

"Lord Demon Emperor, Xiao Ji is only worried about your safety. After all, the tribes on the other side of the Underworld Demon River are completely incomparable to us!"

Ye Lin also roughly understood what Xiao Ji meant.

This side of the Underworld Demon River was equivalent to the bustling city center of a human city.

Although it was all the Demon Realm, only those tribes strong enough could cross the Underworld Demon River to settle down.

Demon races like the Earth Spirit Demon race that could only live on the outskirts of the Underworld Demon River were, to put it bluntly, existences of a lower demonic class.

Ye Lin stood up and reached out to pat Xiao Ji on the shoulder.

"Xiao Ji, it's not that I want to lecture you, but your ideological awareness, little comrade, clearly needs improvement!"

"You haven't even gone yet, and you're already afraid? Then when will my Earth Spirit Demon race ever truly become strong?"

"For the strong, what is strong is not their power, but their heart!"

"Are Demon Emperors and Demon Kings born of noble blood?"

Ye Lin's words were deafening to Xiao Ji.

He felt as if something that had been binding him all along had suddenly developed cracks.

"Are Demon Emperors and Demon Kings born of noble blood..."

Xiao Ji muttered this sentence, and his eyes gradually became fanatical.

"I swear to follow Lord Earth Spirit Demon Emperor to the death!"

"Then what are we waiting for? Call the clansmen, bring the supplies, we are crossing the river!"

Ye Lin waved his hand, the smile at the corner of his mouth almost impossible to suppress.

A tribe with at least three Demon Emperors presiding over it? That would be like delivering a feast right to my doorstep.

The clansmen of the Earth Spirit Demon race quickly packed their things and headed toward the Underworld Demon River in a mighty procession.

When they arrived before the Underworld Demon River, Ye Lin was also somewhat surprised.

This expanse of black ocean before him was more appropriately called a sea than a river.

The actions of the Earth Spirit Demon race also quickly attracted the attention of other Demon tribes.

"Is that... the Earth Spirit Demon race that has been constantly expanding its territory lately? What are they doing? Are they trying to cross the Underworld Demon River?"

"No way, are they sick? They conquered such a large sphere of influence, and now they're turning around to run to the other side of the Underworld Demon River? Then why did they spend all this time frantically slaughtering other tribes?"

"Who knows! But the Earth Spirit Demon race only has one Demon Emperor presiding over it; if they dare to cross the Underworld Demon River, isn't that just courting death? The things inside the Underworld Demon River are not to be trifled with!"

"It's good if they die! This Earth Spirit Demon race has been slaughtering other tribes everywhere; they should have been wiped out long ago!"

Numerous Demon tribes discussed the matter, gnashing their teeth.

The Demon Realm had suffered under the Earth Spirit Demon race for too long!
