Chapter 481: The Mighty Demon Clan

Ye Lin glanced downward with some reluctance.

Although he desperately wanted to swallow that dragon corpse, he truly dared not dive any deeper now.

That dragon corpse was too bizarre; with his current strength, even the fluctuations produced by it moving unintentionally could crush him to death.

Moreover, Ye Lin vaguely felt he had understood something.

"This demonic Qi in the Demon Realm—could it be that it's all radiating from that dragon corpse?"

A thoughtful look appeared in Ye Lin's eyes. Whether it was devouring demonic Qi to condense into magic crystals, or directly devouring demons and demonic beasts, both could provide him with a certain amount of Dragon Bloodline.

But devouring humans would not yield such things.

This meant that the entire Demon Realm was created because of the death of that dragon corpse?

This thought made Ye Lin's eyes widen in horror.

If a mere corpse after death could create an entire Demon Realm, then what kind of existence must that dragon corpse at the bottom of the Nether Demon River have been when it was alive?

And would this dragon corpse be related to the so-called world-ending catastrophe in Student Zhuge Student Zhuge Qianxing's prophecy?

Ye Lin dared not think too deeply. He had originally thought his strength was nearing the peak of this world.

But now he realized that there seemed to be many things about this world that he could not comprehend.

Ye Lin took a deep breath, letting his mood slowly calm down, and stopped letting his imagination run wild.

For him now, pondering these things was useless; these were not things his current strength could touch.

Ye Lin hurried toward the opposite bank, where the Earth Spirit Demon Clan had already been waiting in anxious suspense.

After all, Ye Lin had been diving underwater to fend off the Nether Ghost Ray for a very long time, and they were extremely worried that their Emperor might have met with an accident; some Earth Spirit demons had even been unable to resist the urge to jump into the Nether Demon River to search for Ye Lin.

Seeing Ye Lin surface, Xiao Ke Jie was the first to spot him and immediately shouted excitedly.

"It's Lord Earth Spirit Demon Emperor! Our Emperor has returned!"

The rest of the Earth Spirit demons also became instantly excited. Now, Ye Lin was a god in the eyes of the Earth Spirit Demon Clan!

Ye Lin leaped up and landed on the riverbank.

"Rest assured, this Emperor will be fine! From now on, Causeway Bay... oh, no, there can only be one Emperor on the opposite bank of the Nether Demon River! And that is I, the Earth Spirit Demon Emperor!"

Ye Lin looked at Xiao Ke Jie.

"Xiao Ke Jie, tell this Emperor, which is the clan closest to us here?"

"My lord! I have already investigated clearly; the closest one to us is the Soul-Devouring Demon Clan!"

Xiao Ke Jie hurriedly reported the intelligence he had gathered to Ye Lin.

"This Soul-Devouring Demon Clan has five Demon Emperors sitting in command. This clan was once quite powerful and kept a city of humans in captivity!"

"However, later on, a mutation seemed to occur within the Soul-Devouring Demon Clan, and all the humans in that entire city disappeared. Without human soul bodies to feed on, the strength of the Soul-Devouring Demon Clan declined significantly!"

"Three of the Demon Emperors, because of this matter, felt that the current Soul-Devouring Empress was unworthy of her position and directly defected from the Soul-Devouring Demon Clan to join other races."

"At this moment, within the Soul-Devouring Demon Clan, besides the Soul-Devouring Empress, there is only one elderly Demon Emperor!"

"Lord Earth Spirit Demon Emperor, this Soul-Devouring Demon Clan is undoubtedly one of the weakest clans on the opposite bank of the Nether Demon River. I suggest we take the Soul-Devouring Demon Clan as our first target!"

Xiao Ke Jie's face was full of piety. This intelligence was something he had painstakingly organized, and he believed this information would surely win the appreciation of Lord Earth Spirit Demon Emperor!

Unexpectedly, the response he got was a slap from Lord Demon Emperor.

Ye Lin slapped Xiao Ke Jie on the back of the head, with just the right amount of force—enough to stun him without damaging his brain.

"The Soul-Devouring Demon Clan won't do. Pick another one."

"Ah?"

Xiao Ke Jie was stunned.

"But Lord Demon Emperor, if we don't move against the Soul-Devouring Demon Clan, the other one is the Mighty Demon Clan. Their clan has a full five Demon Emperors! Among them, the strongest, the Force Emperor, has terrifying strength. In terms of physical strength alone, even a Demon Emperor would need to look at him with respect."

"Moving against the Mighty Demon Clan is truly somewhat irrational!"

Ye Lin raised his eyes and gave Xiao Ke Jie a faint glance, causing cold sweat to immediately break out on Xiao Ke Jie's back.

"Are you talking back to this Emperor? Can you not accept even a single mistake? Was I too gentle before? Or are you in your rebellious phase?"

"Xiao Ke Jie dares not! Since Lord Demon Emperor has made up his mind, Xiao Ke Jie swears to follow Lord Demon Emperor to the death!"

"Lead the way, to the Mighty Demon Clan."

Ye Lin's lips curled slightly. The Soul-Devouring Demon Clan? He would go there, just not now.

Right now, the reputation of the Earth Spirit Demon Clan had not yet been established.

Just as the Earth Spirit Demon Clan was moving in a grand procession toward the territory of the Mighty Demon Clan, the Mighty Demon Clan had already received the news.

The Mighty Demon Clan was a demon clan known for its physical strength.

They could absorb demonic Qi and nourish it within their bodies to achieve the result of strengthening their physical bodies.

At this moment, within the Mighty Demon Clan, the five great Demon Emperors were gathered together.

"Everyone, that Earth Spirit Demon Clan is heading in the direction of our Mighty Demon Clan." One of the Demon Emperors spoke in a deep voice.

"How peculiar. They aren't attacking the weaker Soul-Devouring Demon Clan, but are instead heading toward our Mighty Demon Clan? Could it be they are looking for death?" Another Demon Emperor's lips curled, his expression somewhat playful.

"Don't underestimate that Earth Spirit Demon Emperor. I've inquired; on the outskirts of the Nether Demon River, he has already continuously crushed nearly twenty Demon Emperors. His strength can be considered quite terrifying."

"I am naturally aware of that! Otherwise, an Earth Spirit Demon Clan with only one Demon Emperor wouldn't have been able to cross the Nether Demon River. However, the strength gap between the Demon Emperors on the opposite bank of the Nether Demon River and those on the outskirts is not just a little bit. To say nothing else, among us sitting here, who hasn't stained their hands with the blood of Demon Emperors?"

"Regardless, since the other party dares to come, they must have something to rely on. We must not take the enemy lightly!"

"At worst, Fourth and Fifth and I will just attack together! The three of us besieging him alone—that's enough face given, right?"

That Demon Emperor with the playful expression shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

"That works too." Another Demon Emperor nodded.

At this time, the Force Emperor, who had not spoken until now, said in a deep voice.

"I will do it myself. It is said that the Earth Spirit Demon Emperor has a formidable physical body and is also skilled in close combat. My hands are feeling a bit itchy."

The other four Demon Emperors gasped upon hearing this.

The Force Emperor was the most powerful existence within the Mighty Demon Clan!

Give the Force Emperor a few hundred more years, and he might even have a chance to step into the Emperor Realm!

Once a Demon Emperor appeared within the clan, the status of the entire Mighty Demon Clan would rise with the tide, becoming a true Emperor-Blood Demon Clan!

"That Earth Spirit Demon Emperor is going to be in big trouble." The third Demon Emperor of the Mighty Demon Clan laughed with malice.

Don't look at it as only the Force Emperor attacking; the Force Emperor's individual strength was even stronger than the other four Demon Emperors combined!

With such an existence attacking personally, the only result for the Earth Spirit Demon Emperor would be to die without a burial place.

Just at this moment, a Mighty Demon Clan member burst in.

"Reporting to the five Lord Demon Emperors, the Earth Spirit Demon Clan has already broken into our Mighty Demon Clan's territory! And they have started slaughtering our Mighty Demon Clan's tribesmen!"

"This Earth Spirit Demon Clan truly has a lot of nerve!"

The several Demon Emperors were somewhat secretly angry upon hearing this.

The Force Emperor slowly stood up, his nearly hundred-meter-tall body like an ancient demon god, giving off an incomparably terrifying sense of oppression.

Don't look at the Force Emperor's massive size; his speed was equally terrifying. Accompanied by a sonic boom, he disappeared from where he stood.

The other four Demon Emperors of the Mighty Demon Clan sat firmly like they were fishing, their faces showing not a hint of worry; they even started joking.

"Guess how long that Earth Spirit Demon Emperor can last in the Force Emperor's hands?"

"I guess at most a hundred rounds before he gets trampled into a meat patty by the Force Emperor. The Force Emperor hasn't had a chance to attack in so long, he's been bottling up energy inside."

"A hundred rounds? You're overestimating that Earth Spirit Demon Emperor too much. If you ask me, I reckon even lasting ten rounds would be a difficult task for him."

"Ten rounds? That's too weak!"

"You don't believe me? If you don't believe me, let's make a bet. I bet ten top-grade magic crystals!"

"Bet it is!"

Just at this moment, the second-ranked Demon Emperor of the Mighty Demon Clan raised his head in some confusion.

"Eh? Something has returned? Could it be the Force Emperor?"

The other three Demon Emperors also raised their heads one after another. In mid-air, there was indeed a black object coming at high speed, like a black meteor.

"No way? How long has the Force Emperor been out, and he's already back? That Earth Spirit Demon Emperor really didn't last ten rounds? Damn! What a weakling!"

"Hahahaha! I won! I told you that Earth Spirit Demon Emperor wouldn't last ten rounds, right? Hand over the ten magic crystals!"

"Take them, take them, so annoying. How is this Earth Spirit Demon Emperor so weak!"

As the four Demon Emperors were speaking, the black object landed right in their midst with a boom.

The four of them were instantly stunned on the spot.

Because the black object that had smashed into the ground was the Force Emperor's head! ===== CHAPTER 482 =====
