Chapter 1670: I Am Here

~12 min read 2,331 words

When the second Three-Crowned Demon King's demonic might was ravaging before the Sacred Fortune Mountain Range, the expressions of all the powerful experts in the two great alliances could not help but turn ugly. Their gazes looked toward the distant horizon, where within the vast black clouds, countless Other Beings surged forth like a tide.

It was like a black tide symbolizing destruction, swallowing all life wherever it passed.

And above the vast black tide, a hundred-zhang figure stepped through the void. It was a corpulent, big-bellied figure, and on its belly was inscribed a white scorpion. The white scorpion had nine scorpion tails, and at the tip of each tail was a blood-red eye, constantly dripping fresh red blood.

This corpulent figure was the White Scorpion Demon King.

Previously, Zhao Mingwang had been seriously wounded by it.

And after the White Scorpion Demon King appeared, vast sources of malevolent will surged toward its side. The next moment, a white-robed youth walked out from within. The youth held a sacred banner flowing with a holy aura, and his face was compassionate. If not for the fact that he had walked out from the malevolent energy, anyone would have taken him for a King-tier expert skilled in light-attribute power.

Other Beings whose strength reached the Three-Crowned King level already had forms not much different from humans.

"That is the 'Sacred Banner Demon King'!"

When Zhao Mingwang, Pang Pang Qianyuan, and the other King-tier experts saw this white-robed youth holding the sacred banner with a compassionate face, they immediately recognized him. After all, after so many years of clashing with the Dark World, the Ten Outer Shenzhou had some understanding of these Three-Crowned Demon Kings.

After all, a Three-Crowned Demon King, even within the Dark World, was considered an existence second only to the Great Demon King level.

The appearance of two Three-Crowned Demon Kings brought a pressure that could truly be described as overwhelming. Within the great cities and fortresses of the Sacred Fortune Mountain Range, countless people felt a despairing sense of suffocation.

Is this the terror of the Other Beings? Casually dispatching Three-Crowned Demon Kings.

And looking across their Eastern Region Shenzhou, with so many alliances combined, there was not a single true Three-Crowned King. The strongest person present should only be that renowned Twelve-Winged Light Goddess, Jiang Jiang Qinge.

But even this Goddess, at present, was only at the Unparalleled Eighth Grade. Although an Unparalleled Marquis had extraordinary combat power, and if she went all out, she should be able to wrestle with a Three-Crowned King, the enemy had now dispatched two Three-Crowned Kings!

And besides these two Three-Crowned Kings, the enemy also possessed ordinary Other-Kings no fewer than their own side.

Under such a rather disparate ratio, shadows welled up in everyone's hearts. If the defense line of the Sacred Fortune Mountain Range were breached, then the dozens of dynasties and empires behind, with their tens of billions of living beings, would all be exposed to the erosion of the Ghost Abyss.

In front of the city wall, Jiang Jiang Qinge felt the dead, oppressive atmosphere. Her slender, fair hand gently tightened, and the Sacred Phoenix Umbrella appeared in her grasp. Then her figure slowly rose, and the next moment, vast, holy light-attribute origin swept across the world.

Hundreds of millions of rays of light swept horizontally, dispelling the pressure brought by the two Three-Crowned Demon Kings.

Twelve holy wings of light slowly condensed behind her.

At this moment, from within the great cities and fortresses of the Sacred Fortune Mountain Range defense line, countless gazes of hope, reverence, and devotion were cast forth. Everyone understood that the fate of the hundreds of billions of living beings behind the Sacred Fortune Mountain Range rested upon that goddess-like figure.

"Leader of the Mingwang Alliance, these two Three-Crowned Demon Kings, I will hold them off. You all just need to resist the other Other-Kings." Jiang Jiang Qinge's clear, icy voice spread out mightily.

It shocked countless powerful experts.

Even Zhao Mingwang showed a look of astonishment and said, "Goddess, you wish to hold off two Three-Crowned Demon Kings alone? That is far too dangerous!"

He had clashed with the White Scorpion Demon King before and knew how terrifying the opponent's methods were. Originally, according to their plan, Jiang Jiang Qinge would hold off one Three-Crowned Demon King, while he, the vice-leader Liu Yuan, and Pang Pang Qianyuan—three Double-Crowned Kings working together—would deal with the other Three-Crowned King.

However, with that arrangement, the top combat power of the two great alliances would be tied down, and other parts of the defense line would inevitably bear tremendous pressure. If a breach appeared in the defense line at that time, it would also trigger great chaos.

But there was no choice, after all it was still much better than letting a Three-Crowned Demon King run rampant and wreak havoc everywhere.

Jiang Jiang Qinge clearly understood this point as well, which was why she chose to step forward, holding off two Three-Crowned Demon Kings single-handedly to ease the pressure on the other defense lines.

But in doing so, the pressure she bore was far too great.

Within those great cities and fortresses, many powerful experts had solemn expressions, then bowed toward the slender figure releasing vast light in the distant sky.

Even more people showed fanatical expressions and devoutly knelt on the ground to worship.

One who could step forward at this desperate moment to turn the tide always inspired boundless admiration and respect.

"Goddess, if we can survive this calamity, the hundreds of billions of living beings of our Mingwang Alliance will surely remember your grace of protection." Even Zhao Mingwang slightly bent toward Jiang Jiang Qinge and said in a deep voice.

"Jiang Qinge, be very careful!" Pang Pang Qianyuan also had a complicated expression. The former Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge were still juniors in his eyes, but now, they possessed the power to stand in front of them.

Jiang Jiang Qinge slightly nodded. Her gaze drifted toward the direction of Daxia. She did not possess much of a heart for great righteousness; what she thought of was only to let Li Luo, who was far away tens of thousands of miles away, be able to cultivate in seclusion in peace, until he came out.

The Mingwang Alliance could not fall. Once it fell, then the Daxia Alliance would become the focus of all the Ghost Abysses in the Eastern Region Shenzhou, and at that time, Daxia would also find it hard to remain stable.

"Li Luo, you just focus on your seclusion cultivation with peace of mind. I will definitely protect you well."

Jiang Jiang Qinge murmured softly, then she no longer hesitated. Her gaze gradually turned icy, the wings of light behind her slowly flapped, and she wrapped herself in endless light, locking onto the two Three-Crowned Demon Kings from afar.

And facing Jiang Jiang Qinge's eager gaze, above the vast tide of Other Beings, the White Scorpion Demon King and the Sacred Banner Demon King also narrowed their eyes as they sized her up.

"So you are that Light Primordial Seed?"

"What a truly loathsome aura. The lords have already given the order that the Ten Outer Shenzhou must never produce another Light Heavenly King, so today, you must perish." The White Scorpion Demon King patted its fat belly, its cheerful voice brimming with dense killing intent.

"Then come and try. Today, let's see who perishes first." And facing the killing intent displayed by the two Three-Crowned Demon Kings, Jiang Jiang Qinge was utterly unafraid.

"An Unparalleled Eighth Grade, daring to face the two of us, Three-Crowned Demon Kings, alone. Such courage truly befits a Light Primordial Seed." The white-robed youth holding the sacred banner also showed a faint smile.

"But unfortunately, today's setup was made specifically for you."

"An Unparalleled Eighth Grade should perish."

Hearing the Sacred Banner Demon King's words, Jiang Jiang Qinge's gaze instantly sharpened, and behind her, Zhao Mingwang, Pang Pang Qianyuan, and the others felt a sudden, intense sense of unease well up in their hearts.

Then they saw the white-robed youth lightly wave the sacred banner in his hand. Pitch-black cracks appeared on the sacred banner, and the next moment, a black vortex seemed to emerge on it, leading to an unknown place.

Whoo!

A strange whistling sound came from deep within the vortex, and immediately after, one after another, ferocious ghostly heads howled out from within, a demonic might no weaker than that of the White Scorpion and Sacred Banner Demon Kings flooding the world.

"Light Primordial Seed, we meet again!"

One, two, and finally seven ghostly heads howled out from the black hole of the sacred banner. They gathered together, forming a seven-headed form, and at the same time, a voice brimming with killing intent rang out.

When Pang Pang Qianyuan and the others saw this Seven-Headed Demon King, their expressions instantly changed drastically, and they cried out in horror: "Eight-Headed Black Demon King?!"

No, it was seven heads. Clearly, the Eight-Headed Black Demon King that had once attempted to descend upon Daxia to seize the Pill Saint Primordial Seed had been severely wounded in that battle, its strength falling from the peak of Three-Crowned King to an ordinary Three-Crowned Demon King.

But no matter how ordinary, it was still a Three-Crowned Demon King!

With this, three Three-Crowned Demon Kings had actually appeared in the Eastern Region Shenzhou this time? A lineup like this, even in the Inner Shenzhou, would be enough to unleash a calamity of great chaos!

At this moment, whether it was Zhao Mingwang or Pang Pang Qianyuan and the others, none of them could stop the look of despair from surfacing on their faces.

The disparity in this lineup was far too great.

Even if Jiang Jiang Qinge gave her all and could truly hold off two Three-Crowned Demon Kings at the Unparalleled Eighth Grade, then what about three?

Such a gap—even for a Light Primordial Seed—was absolutely impossible to bridge.

"Goddess, please leave. This setup was made by the Dark World for you. They wish to slay you, the future Light Heavenly King!" Zhao Mingwang said in a deep voice.

Pang Pang Qianyuan was also in an extremely heavy mood. The Dark World had sent these three Three-Crowned Demon Kings to descend upon the Eastern Region Shenzhou; it must have been a long-planned scheme, all for the purpose of cutting down Jiang Jiang Qinge.

Under such circumstances, the Eastern Region's Outer Shenzhou would surely be impossible to defend.

As for Zhao Mingwang's words, Jiang Jiang Qinge did not respond. She was already in the game—where could she retreat to? If she retreated to the Great Xia, it would instead drag Li Luo into a perilous situation.

But to face three Triple-Crowned Demon Kings with merely an Unparalleled Eighth Grade, this too was a desperate situation.

Jiang Jiang Qinge's beautiful eyes closed slightly, her chest rising and falling gently. The slender hand gripping the Sacred Phoenix Umbrella slowly tightened, and on the back of Bai Xi's hand, green veins surfaced. Finally, when her eyes opened, there was not the slightest trace of fear within them—only a soaring, unyielding battle intent.

"So what if there are three Triple-Crowned Kings?"

"If you want me to fall here, then try!"

The Sacred Phoenix Umbrella in Jiang Jiang Qinge's hand slowly rose, its spear-tip locking onto the three Triple-Crowned Demon Kings from afar. Sacred flames swept across the heavens and earth, like an inextinguishable battle intent.

The three Triple-Crowned Demon Kings let out strange, heaven-rending laughter, and the vast demonic might they exuded sealed off this stretch of heaven and earth.

A single Unparalleled Eighth Grade—even if she was a Primordial Light Seed—there was absolutely no way she could survive their joint attack.

Today, she would surely die!

"Kill her!"

The killing-intent-filled voices of the three Triple-Crowned Demon Kings rang out. In the next instant, they struck simultaneously, malevolent demonic light carrying destructive ripples surging forth.

Jiang Jiang Qinge's breathtakingly beautiful face was perfectly calm. The twelve wings of light behind her flapped, stirring up a vast ocean of radiance. Under the gazes of countless fanatical eyes behind her, she charged fearlessly toward the three Triple-Crowned Demon Kings.

That scene was tragic, heroic, and achingly beautiful.

Whoooosh!

Yet, just at the instant Jiang Jiang Qinge spread her wings to meet the enemy, a sudden gust of wind rose between heaven and earth.

The wind surged, ravaging a million miles.

Zhao Mingwang, Pang Pang Qianyuan, and many other King-realm experts all showed shock in their eyes, for this vast azure wind was no ordinary thing—within it was contained an unimaginable power of origin.

Within that azure wind, they even sensed a pressure.

Even the terrifying demonic might laid down by the three Triple-Crowned Demon Kings was, under the sweep of this azure wind that had sprung up from who-knows-where, forcibly torn apart and shredded.

The figures of the White Scorpion, Sacred Banner, and Seven-Heads Triple Demon Kings paused, and a shift flickered in their eyes.

"Who is it?!" they let out a cold, furious roar, the shout like thunder rolling across heaven and earth.

Jiang Jiang Qinge also abruptly stopped. Feeling the azure wind raging between heaven and earth, within her golden beautiful eyes, astonishment and joy gradually welled up like a rising tide.

Because within that azure wind, she sensed a familiar presence.

"Li Luo... you've come?" She lifted her breathtakingly beautiful, holy face and spoke softly to the azure wind between heaven and earth.

As her voice faded, Jiang Jiang Qinge felt her hand slip into a warm palm. She tilted her head slightly and saw the omnipresent azure wind gathering beside her, finally condensing—under the gazes of countless shaken living beings—into a tall, slender young figure.

Under the watchful eyes of all, he took Jiang Jiang Qinge's delicate hand in his and smiled.

"Mm, Goddess, I'm here."
