Chapter 468: Lei Ming's Return

Demonic scouts kept arriving to report news to the Demon Race leader.

Inside the demon race hall, these people were all on edge. Now they finally realized they had provoked a demon.

This demon acts even more recklessly than they do, and is more like a demon than they are.

"If the black hole expands further, even that brat might not be able to retract it! To fight us to the death, he's willing to destroy the entire continent!"

The ox-headed person also couldn't help but worry. If the black hole keeps expanding, perhaps no one will be able to control it.

At this moment, only Lei Ming could understand Liuyun's feelings.

The net on her had been taken down, yet she didn't flee; instead she sat blankly on the ground, not knowing what she was thinking.

The ox-headed person glanced at Lei Ming and asked, "How's your consideration going?"

Seeing her no reaction, the ox-headed person ordered, "All clan members at the Heavenly Gang Eighth Layer, go out and control the black hole to prevent it from expanding further!"

"Sigh!" Some demon race members shook their heads helplessly, then went out to control the black hole.

Liuyun had already gone berserk. Spatial power kept compressing mountain after mountain. The outskirts of Myriad Demon Ridge had been flattened by him.

Half of Myriad Demon Ridge had become a sea of fire, accompanied by blood-red lightning constantly tearing the sky. Several black holes kept expanding, devouring everything.

The Mourning Bell's sound kept ringing. Even distant human martial cultivators who noticed the anomaly dared not approach to investigate.

Just the ever-growing black holes already terrified them; moreover, upon approaching, hearing the Mourning Bell made their souls tremble, filling them with dread.

They didn't know what had happened here in Myriad Demon Ridge; they only knew this place was now a hell on earth.

"Is it internal strife among the demons, or have they provoked some ruthless person?"

"The demon race is utterly doomed now! Not to mention a thousand years, even ten thousand years might see some races go extinct!"

"That's just fine—it prevents them from coming out and slaughtering humans!"

Some martial cultivators wildly speculated, and some even made sarcastic remarks.

Under the combined effort of those Heavenly Gang Eighth Layer demon martial cultivators, the largest black hole showed signs of shrinking, though not obvious; meanwhile the other black holes continued to expand.

A Heavenly Gang Seventh Layer demon martial cultivator came out to look at the situation, then returned and shouted at Lei Ming, "Can't you be quicker? At least let that madman stop first. If we keep dawdling, not only our demon race, but even this whole continent will be destroyed!"

Lei Ming was also startled by its words and finally came to her senses.

The ox-headed Demon Race leader then waved his hand, not letting the demon race continue speaking.

"Let me go out; I'll first tell little brother to stop!" Lei Ming said.

The ox-headed person glanced at her and nodded.

Thus Lei Ming walked out of the hall alone, flying toward Liuyun.

"Little brother! Stop first!" Lei Ming shouted from afar at Liuyun.

Liuyun had killed so much he was about to lose his mind. At this moment his True Essence was exhausted, and he forgot to replenish it; instead he kept attacking aimlessly with Divine Soul Power and Spatial Power.

Whatever he could see, he did not let go.

But Lei Ming's voice caused his movements to halt.

He stared at Lei Ming for a moment, then rushed over and tightly held her in his arms.

"Girl, you've worried me to death! I thought I'd never see you again!"

While speaking, he still felt it might be an illusion, so he pulled Lei Ming to look at her, touched her hair, confirmed it was real, and then held her in his arms again.

Lei Ming also felt excited, tears welling in her eyes, tightly embracing him.

After a while, Liuyun finally reacted. "Did the demon race release you?"

Lei Ming also remembered the matter at hand. "Little brother, quickly seal this black hole. The demon race captured me, but it's not what you think. I'll explain later. If the black hole keeps growing, the whole continent will suffer!"

"Oh, okay, I'll try." Liuyun didn't have time to ask more. Only now did he realize how dire the consequences were.

A black hole this large, he also didn't know if he could retrieve it.

He started with the smallest black hole, attempting to send it back to the second layer of space.

Those few small ones went relatively smoothly; though taxing, he managed to send them back. However, the one formed by two black holes merging, he struggled all day and only managed to send half of it back.

As for the largest one, without a doubt, he was even less able to handle it.

At that moment, the demon race's ox-headed leader appeared and said to Liuyun, "Let's work together to send it back."

Upon seeing him, Liuyun instantly became agitated. This was the person who had abducted Lei Ming. He hurriedly pulled Lei Ming behind him and went on guard.

"Little brother, don't worry, it was he who let me out. He won't harm me. Believe me. Let them help!"

Seeing Liuyun protect her so, Lei Ming felt happy, but there was still important business; delaying further, even if these demons helped, the black hole might not be retrievable.

Liuyun turned his head doubtfully to look at Lei Ming. In the end he still agreed.

He sensed there was something going on, but relying on intuition, he also trusted Lei Ming.

Thus they joined forces and sent those two large black holes back, one by one.

Then those demon race strong ones went to extinguish the fires. Liuyun also helped them, retrieving some Golden Crow Holy Fire.

After everything was settled, the demon race looked at Myriad Demon Ridge again; most of it had turned into scorched earth. Many peaks had been leveled, and even places eroded by black holes now showed large pits.

They all gazed hatefully at Liuyun. Their demon race had suffered heavy losses this time; most of the demon race had perished in the sea of fire and black holes. Some clans might have been completely wiped out by Liuyun.

Liuyun also hastily drew the Demon Slaying Sword, holding the Mourning Bell in his hand, on guard against them. If it weren't for the demon race abducting Lei Ming, Liuyun would absolutely not have acted so ruthlessly.

At that moment, the ox-headed Demon Race leader came out again, arranging for the clansmen to return and tidy up. He then faced Lei Ming and said, "It's up to you to decide; we won't force you."

Lei Ming, however, showed a hesitant expression.

"Girl, what exactly is going on?" Liuyun asked.

"Um... little brother, if I were of the demon race, would you not want me?" Lei Ming bit her lip, on the verge of tears, her eyes glistening as she looked at Liuyun.
