Chapter 1739

The heartland of the demon realm is a palace.

Inside the palace, a group of demon leaders tremble with fear.

"Demon God, what... what should we do? That human is terrifying, they can cast a forbidden spell in just ten seconds, nonstop!"

A Demigod-level Demon Commander spoke with a trembling voice.

On the great hall, the Saint-level and Demigod-level demon powerhouses were all panicked, gazing at the throne.

The Ashen Demon God is a towering non-pure-blood demon, with an appearance almost human, clad in a black cloak, purple-black skin, and a pair of goat horns.

At this moment he furrowed his brow, looking at these timid subordinates just like himself, and muttered: "This shouldn't be; I've nearly understood the strength of all human adventurers and natives on Zhu Shen Da Lu. Neither the strongest adventurer, 'The Greatest Commander of the East', nor the strongest native, Soul City Lord Yimi'er, has the power to forcefully breach Ashen Mist Maze City. The only one worth fearing is the Fire Demigod La Luo Na Er in the Flame City Heart Lake, but La Luo Na Er cannot escape, so it's impossible for him to be here. Besides, he doesn't even know earth-shaking magic."

"Who exactly is this person?"

The Ashen Demon God and all the Demon Generals and Demon Commanders were utterly puzzled.

"Report!"

At that moment, a Demon Soldier rushed in, panting, and reported: "Reporting to the Demon God, this time I saw clearly—the intruder is a human adventurer named Xiao Feng, now at the level of a Great Magus!"

"What? A Great Magus?"

"Are you kidding me?"

"How dare you falsify military intelligence! Come, drag him out and behead him!"

The news brought by the soldier had no credibility at all; nobody believed it.

"Sir, Demon God! I'm telling the truth, he really is just a Great Magus!" The soldier was being dragged away, wailing and declaring he hadn't lied.

"Wait!"

At that moment, the Ashen Demon God summoned the palace guard and released the scout.

"Sir, sir, please believe me!" The soldier kowtowed repeatedly.

The Ashen Demon God frowned, deep in thought, as if recalling something.

He asked: "You said... what is that adventurer's name?"

"His name is Xiao Feng! The same Xiao Feng who once slew the Bloodthirsty Demon God!" The soldier replied hastily.

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.

"Could it really be such a coincidence?"

"Could it be... that he has returned?"

"But how could he be only a Great Magus?"

The Demon Commanders, Demon Generals, and the Ashen Demon God all had a terrifying figure appear in their minds.

Xiao Feng!

"That man! He is the most terrifying demon in the world!"

If demons call themselves 'demon' due to their race, then Xiao Feng, this demonic fiend, is an unforgivable great villain!

Back then, this villain brought an Upper God from Shen Jie into the Abyss, relying on divine aid, slew many demon lords, and even killed the weakened Bloodthirsty Demon God, utterly shattering the demons' confidence.

Moreover, he abducted the innocent Minyaya Princess, making her acknowledge him, her father's killer, as her master, and live a life stripped of dignity.

Although this earned the rebirth of Miheer Demon King, after his resurrection he completely forgot that blood feud, having no will to avenge his father or rescue his sister, only knowing to cultivate in secret within the Bloodthirsty Demon God's lair, indifferent to worldly affairs.

What's more hateful, Xiao Feng even opened a passage between War City and the Abyss!

The Abyss is the demons' main stronghold, yet he has stormed right into its heartland!

In the following decade or so, the Abyss realm was visited daily by adventurers taking turns; a place once dreaded by humanity became like a brothel, devoid of any dignity.

Had the Abyss not been invaded and thrown into chaos, the Ashen Demon God would not have chosen to establish a new demon kingdom on the continent.

The God-level powerhouses of the Abyss—Purgatory Demon God, Dark Demon God, and others—have all been terrified by Xiao Feng, and for over a decade none have left the royal city.

The demons' hopes rested on the Ashen Demon God, who, after struggling to survive in hiding, finally broke through to the God level, gathered the will of countless demon citizens, and forged the demons' main divine artifact, believing he could avenge past shame, restore demon prestige, and stand firm on the continent.

Who would have thought that after barely a few years of peace, this terrifying villain would return!

"Go, hurry!"

The Ashen Demon God rose and solemnly told the Demon Generals, Demon Commanders, and subordinates: "That adventurer's strength is far more than it appears; fighting him means certain defeat. All demons must withdraw immediately, first retreat to the Abyss to avoid his edge, and after he leaves we will return to rebuild Ashen Mist Maze City."

"Sir!"

"Your Majesty!"

"This is the city we poured countless efforts into building with blood and sweat—are we really just going to abandon it?" The Demon Generals and Demon Commanders were reluctant.

The Ashen Demon God actually also felt reluctant to give up this city that made him feel utterly safe, sighing: "I don't want to abandon it either, but that adventurer is too terrifying; although he seems a Great Magus on the surface, in reality he may not even be a match for the Bloodthirsty Demon God at its peak. As the saying goes, 'Keep the green hills, and you won't worry about firewood.' We must first preserve our lives; we can discuss other matters later."

"But..."

The Demon Generals and Demon Commanders were still reluctant, for they had already settled here, grown accustomed to this utterly safe city and carefree life.

The Ashen Demon God's expression turned grave as he asked everyone: "What is the first principle of our Ashen Demon Kingdom?"

A Demon Commander solemnly replied: "If we can win, we fight; if we cannot, we flee."

"Yes, now is the time we cannot win. Don't make futile attempts; follow me and leave immediately, or it will be too late."

The Ashen Demon God said a sentence.

He then took out an object, activated it with magic, and released it in the center of the hall.

Soon, a temporary teleportation array was activated.

"Everyone, go inside! Guards, summon everyone from the palace; we will evacuate together!" the Ashen Demon God commanded.

These demons had fought alongside him on the Ashen Plain, climbing through blood and fire together; each was like a brother to him, and they could not be abandoned.

Even if we must flee, we must bring everyone along!

"Sigh, let's go!"

The demon generals and commanders, helpless, reluctantly took a glance at the labyrinth Chengshi outside, then immediately, in an orderly manner, entered the Teleportation Array, temporarily leaving.

A few minutes later, all the demons of the Ashen Demon Kingdom's core circle walked into the Teleportation Array, disappearing on the surface of Zhu Shen Da Lu.

Finally, the light flashed, the Teleportation Array vanished, leaving only an empty hall, not even a guard left.

Boom—

Boom!

The earthquake's sound grew nearer.

That hateful adventurer pushed straight through, destroying one maze wall after another, and finally reached a place that was not a wall or corridor.

Looking at the demon clan palace before him, he gave an evil smile and muttered to himself, "Leveling up is really not easy."

He immediately shouted in a low voice: "Ashen Demon God, come out and die!"
