Chapter 1639: The Great Demon King's Descent

A surging blood sea, wrapped in a sky-piercing aura of slaughter, poured forth from that shattered ghost-faced head, and in an instant it covered a sky of tens of thousands of miles; upon the blood sea, an incomparably enormous blood-red face slowly floated.

Elsewhere, a massive demonic arm stood towering in the heavens—so vast that its surface seemed capable of bearing endless mountain ranges; upon the arm were carved hundreds of millions of bizarre, slowly writhing curse patterns; the demonic palm had eighteen fingers, each one like a towering peak rising between heaven and earth.

Two terrifying existences descended abruptly at this moment.

"Two Great Demon Kings?!"

Their appearance caused the expressions of everyone present to change; even Li Luo, Pang Pang Qianyuan and the others wore unusually solemn looks.

"How could Great Demon Kings descend so easily?!" Li Luo could not help but say. In the Boundary River Domain of Outer Shenzhou, he had also seen that "Three-Pupil Mysterious Womb Great Demon King," who had also tried to descend in his true form, but after all that fuss, had only managed to bring down a Mysterious Womb avatar—so how could these two Great Demon Kings descend so easily now?

"It is Yin Li Tianwang's doing!"

Pang Pang Qianyuan said in a low voice: "He schemed against the Eight-Headed Black Demon King, and using it as an anchor, he enabled the two Great Demon Kings to appear within the Ten Great Shenzhou for a period of time."

"These two Great Demon Kings have probably long been in collusion with the Guiyi Association; it may well be that the Eight-Headed Black Demon King becoming a chess piece was also pushed along by them in secret."

Li Luo's brows knit tightly. This strange calamity in the Great Xia involved things far more terrifying than he had imagined. He had once thought the Eight-Headed Black Demon King was the final mastermind, but now it seemed the Eight-Headed Black Demon King was merely a manipulated piece, and its descent was only the beginning of the great upheaval.

Now this place had not only drawn Yin Li Tianwang and Jiang Li Tianwang, these two Divine-Fruit Tianwangs, but even Great Demon Kings from the Dark World had begun to appear.

The upheaval here was bound to shock the entire Ten Great Shenzhou, and even affect the future order of this world.

It seemed that Yin Li Tianwang, in order to scheme for the "Wind-Fire Phase" in the hands of the Pill Saint, had truly made many contingency preparations.

"Yin Li Tianwang, it seems you truly keep your word—you actually let us descend."

As all sides felt fear and unease at the appearance of the two terrifying existences, at the center of the palm of that enormous demonic arm, a blood-red eye slowly emerged; the blood pupil gazed at Yin Li Tianwang and emitted a hollow, rasping voice.

"Yin Li Tianwang, according to our deal, this Pill Saint shall belong to us." Upon the blood sea, the drifting blood-sea face also let out a thunderous roar, its voice radiating a terrifying aura of slaughter.

As those words fell, the blood sea suddenly raised waves of ten thousand miles, and from within the blood waves stretched out a pair of sky-covering blood-red bat wings, upon which countless ferocious faces appeared.

The bat wings flapped, locking onto the Pill Saint from afar.

The bronze mask that Yin Li Tianwang had transformed into saw this scene, and the pale-white flame in its eyes flickered. Originally, according to the deal, these two Great Demon Kings were supposed to join hands with him to first suppress Jiang Li Tianwang, but now they clearly did not wish to clash with Jiang Li Tianwang, that tough nut to crack; instead, while he was entangled with Jiang Li Tianwang, they were trying to capture the Pill Saint first.

These alien beings truly could not be trusted.

But Yin Li Tianwang did not mind. At present, the top-tier forces of the Guiyi Association and the Academy Alliance were all locked in a standoff of mutual attrition; by introducing the descent of Great Demon Kings from the Dark World, he could break the balance.

At this thought, within the void, the giant kun let out a long cry, and pale-white flames swept forth with a world-burning momentum, while within them also came a terrifying sound of thunder.

Another new Rank power emerged.

It was the Thunder Rank!

Within the pale-white sea of fire, silver thunder danced wildly like giant dragons; every peal of thunder caused the land of Great Xia to tremble violently.

And this destructive offensive went straight for Jiang Li Tianwang.

Seeing this, Jiang Li Tianwang could only withdraw his attention; his face was heavy and solemn, and from the crown of that heaven-supporting golden giant tree came a clear, loud phoenix cry.

A silver phoenix with wings spanning ten thousand miles appeared, radiating billions of silver lights; it perched upon the ancient tree's crown, and as silver light cascaded down, the tree's trunk immediately flowed with gold and silver, and vast, surging Rank power emerged.

It was the Silver Phoenix Rank!

Both Divine-Fruit Tianwangs had activated three Ranks to oppose each other; the terrifying force, if it leaked even slightly, would turn all this land of Great Xia into scorched earth that would be hard to extinguish for hundreds of years.

And while Jiang Li Tianwang and Yin Li Tianwang were locked in their magical duel, the Asura Arm and Blood Slaughter Great Demon Kings took the opportunity to go straight for the Pill Saint, who stood upon the strange colorful butterfly.

"Yin Qingkun, you have actually fallen so far as to collude with alien beings. If the Sect Master were still alive, he would personally cut you down, to comfort those disciples of our Faceless Holy Sect who perished fighting alien beings." The Pill Saint's eyes were filled with anger and hatred.

She could not imagine that Yin Qingkun, who in those years had followed the Sect Master into the Dark World to confront and battle many Great Demon Kings, would now have fallen to such a state. Just what had happened to Yin Qingkun over these long years?

Why had he undergone such an inconceivable transformation?

Yet at this moment, saying such things was already useless. The Pill Saint's face was icy cold, and the strange colorful butterfly beneath her feet also let out a piercing shriek at this moment; surging, magnificent Rank divine light swept forth, grasped by her slender jade hand, and the divine light coiled like a dragon's shadow, transforming in her hand into a colorful-light divine whip.

Boom!

The colorful-light divine whip, wielding Rank power, slammed toward the two Great Demon Kings that had come to attack.

From the palm of the enormous Asura Arm, blood-red lightning flowed within the blood pupil, and a low laughter rang out: "Just a barely-maintained Li Tianwang's power, and you still dream of blocking the two of us Great Demon Kings?"

The demonic palm swung out, like a hundred-thousand-mile mountain range, covering the sky and blocking out the sun, even the heavens were blanketed, the sun and moon dimmed to nothing; within that demonic palm were countless bizarre runes flashing with evil light, as if replacing the sky itself.

The demonic palm slammed down, directly crushing the colorful-light divine whip into pieces.

The Rank power within the Pill Saint's body violently churned, and the strange colorful butterfly beneath her feet let out a piercing wail; behind her, the three attendant Beast Kings loyally stepped forward to protect their master. Though the pressure of the two Great Demon Kings filled them with dread, they charged out without hesitation.

Origin power, vast as rivers and seas, swept across the heavens and the earth.

"Three beasts that don't know death when it comes."

Upon the blood sea, the enormous face spoke indifferently, and then from its pupils three beams of blood-red Rank divine light shot out violently; the divine light swept across the heavens, and the three one-Crown King-level Beast Kings let out wails of agony, all grievously wounded and falling, fresh blood pouring down from the heavens like a rainstorm.

Before two Great Demon Kings, ordinary King-realm beings had no power to resist at all.

"Pill Saint, in the ancient era you once slew several of our Dark World's Great Demon Kings. Today, we shall drag you back to the Dark World to be tormented and corrupted!" the Blood Slaughter Great Demon King declared with a sinister voice, his violent killing intent darkening heaven and earth.

As his words faded, the two Great Demon Kings unleashed their killing moves once more; boundless Rank power surged forth like a destructive divine mill, seeking to crush heaven and earth itself.

The Pill Saint's expression remained cold and stern; even facing peril, she showed not a trace of fear before these Great Demon Kings, for as one of Faceless's Six Disciples, she had followed her Sect Master in the ancient era to slaughter so many Dark World Great Demon Kings that they fled in terror.

At her peak she had been a Divine-Fruit Li Tianwang; let alone fighting two alone, even facing three Great Demon Kings by herself she would not have fallen into a disadvantage.

So even though her body had now been eroded by the passage of time and her strength greatly diminished, the pride in her heart would never let her show weakness before these Great Demon Kings.

It was nothing more than returning this life, which should have perished long ago, back to the heavens and the earth.

At this thought, the Pill Saint did not hesitate to activate all the Rank power she could muster, attempting to fight the two Great Demon Kings to the death.

However, just as she was about to act, her expression suddenly tightened.

Above the lands of Great Xia, all living beings raised their heads, and in their eyes was reflected a bright, clear moon.

That bright moon hung in the heavens, its clear radiance cascading like a waterfall, and in the void it condensed into a silver staircase.

From within the bright moon, suddenly the sound of a flute arose; the melody was cold and solitary, as if transmitted from the most ancient of times, captivating the heart.

Li Luo, Pang Pang Qianyuan and the others raised their heads sharply, and saw within that bright moon a figure stepping on moonlight, descending slowly.

It was a man of tall, upright bearing, draped in a long moon-white robe; upon the robe's hems, sun, moon and stars flowed, a sea of stars churned, as if the entire night sky had been woven into his garment.

His long hair was unbound, drifting lightly in the wind; beneath his sword-like brows, a pair of eyes were deep as an abyss, yet reflected the moon's radiance, exuding an air of unruliness and proud solitude.

With each step he took, the moonlight beneath his feet rippled outward like waves, and the energy of heaven and earth trembled lightly, as if in submission.

This person, like the moon descending upon the world.

He held a jade flute in his hands, playing a divine melody. Within the divine melody was contained a vast power of rank, descending from the heavens, as if forming a sound-wave array capable of sealing heaven and earth, temporarily enveloping the two great demon kings within it.

And when this person descended, a gentle voice slowly rang out across heaven and earth.

"Jiang Li Tianwang, Golden Dragon Mountain, arriving as promised."

Li Luo gazed at that figure, his heart trembling slightly. This is... a Li Tianwang from Golden Dragon Mountain?!

"He is..."

Beside him, Lan Lan Lingzi and Li Li Qingying recognized the person and exclaimed in low voices.

"Golden Dragon Mountain's Zhang Li Tianwang!"
