Chapter 940: Destiny is Determined by the Heavenly Dao (First update, requesting everything)

Aixi transformed into a golden long rainbow, flying toward Hu Kingdom at an incredibly exaggerated speed.

In less than an hour, Aixi had entered the territory of Hu Kingdom.

Hu Kingdom is a vast island nation; just like its name suggests, its shape very much resembles a water pot.

Aside from the main island, Hu Kingdom also possesses a considerable number of islands; if the surface area of all the islands were added together, Hu Kingdom would likely not be much smaller than Langya Kingdom.

Unfortunately, most of these islands have not been effectively developed and are sparsely populated, becoming a paradise for wild Spirit Beasts.

Perhaps due to its vast territory, Hu Kingdom successively gave birth to two Abyss Gates.

The mineral resources of Hu Kingdom can be said to be extremely rich, possessing one super-large copper mine, as well as several large gold and silver mines; before the Demon Disaster began, it could be said to be the most affluent small country in the southeastern region.

Hu Kingdom can be considered quite unlucky; it originally had two kings presiding over it, but as it happened, one of the kings passed away from old age just before the second Abyss Gate was born.

Half a year ago, the second Abyss Gate was born on an undeveloped desert island in Hu Kingdom, yet it was only a little over two hundred li away from the main island of Hu Kingdom; by the time Hu Kingdom discovered it, it was already too late, and they were plunged directly into the Demon Disaster.

That would have been one thing, but with Hu Kingdom's deep financial resources and assets, they could have absolutely paid the price to hire a king; however, Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong obstructed them from within, making it impossible for Hu Kingdom to hire any unaffiliated kings, causing the Demon Disaster to grow increasingly severe.

A long time ago, the Dark Night King had set his sights on Hu Kingdom; besides the fact that their territories were close, it was mainly for the resources of Hu Kingdom.

Once the Demon Disaster appeared in Hu Kingdom, the Dark Night King naturally hoped the disaster would further expand, preferably wiping out the only king of Hu Kingdom; when that time came, he would appear like a god-sent soldier, gain the adoration of the people of Hu Kingdom in one fell swoop, and then have a king leave Langya Kingdom to become the controller of Hu Kingdom, achieving his goal of secretly controlling Hu Kingdom.

The reason the Dark Night King did this was mainly because he possessed enough strength to suppress two ordinary Abyss Gates.

A Demon Commander is equivalent to a top-tier Saint Grade Spirit Pet; the Dark Night King possesses one Demon Emperor Level spirit pet and nearly ten Saint Grade spirit pets, so he can naturally suppress three Abyss Gates simultaneously by splitting his forces.

It is just that by doing so, the Dark Night King would be stretched thin, and accidents could potentially occur.

As for why the Dark Night King dared to defy the world, it was mainly because he wanted to go a step further and become a figure at the very top of the pyramid.

But the difficulty of becoming an Emperor or an Emperor Rank is immense; in this millennium, only one Empress of Profound has emerged, and even the Hundred Victories King, who was hailed as the strongest Double-Character King, met his downfall.

Yet even if there is only a glimmer of hope, the Dark Night King must seize it; perhaps he is the lucky one of this era.

However, the prerequisite for everything is the need for massive resources, especially treasures that can allow spirit pets to advance to the Demon Emperor Level; Langya Kingdom alone is simply incapable of supporting this.

The resources of Hu Kingdom are no worse than those of Langya Kingdom, and in particular, the Dark Night King heard a secret: the Imperial Family of Hu Kingdom hides a top-tier treasure that can increase the probability of a spirit pet advancing to the Demon Emperor Level, but because Hu Kingdom has never produced a Double-Character King, it has been kept until now.

The Dark Night King had sent people to inquire several times; although the Imperial Family of Hu Kingdom kept the news very tight, the Dark Night King eventually confirmed that such a treasure existed.

Thus, after the second Abyss Gate appeared in Hu Kingdom, the Dark Night King began to obstruct them from the shadows, causing Hu Kingdom to fail to receive effective aid, thereby sinking deep into the quagmire of the Demon Disaster.

However, just when the Dark Night King felt the timing was almost ripe, as if it were destined by the Heavenly Dao, Li Zhangsheng happened to choose Hu Kingdom.

By the time Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong received the news, Li Zhangsheng had already entered Hu Kingdom.

Peng Dao of Hu Kingdom is the largest island of Hu Kingdom, possessing nearly the land area of a province, and the capital of Hu Kingdom is naturally located here.

At this moment, the capital of Hu Kingdom is already in a state of panic; the Demon Disaster has persisted for several months, and even though the Heavenly Dao Will has significantly suppressed the strength of the demons, Hu Kingdom is still teetering on the brink of collapse.

Even so, quite a few cities in Hu Kingdom have already been ransacked by demons, and news of some city being captured by the demon army spreads almost every day.

Since the Demon Disaster occurred, the vast majority of the powerful and wealthy in Hu Kingdom have secretly transferred their assets and chosen a strategic withdrawal; now, only the Imperial Family and some frustrated minor nobles remain, struggling to maintain order.

Of course, there are also the massive numbers of commoners.

It is not that they do not want to leave, but that they cannot; after all, the ships of Hu Kingdom are limited, and most were requisitioned by the wealthy who have already left, never returning after their departure.

Like the Imperial Family of Dai Kingdom, the Imperial Family of Hu Kingdom cannot abandon the country until the very last moment; they can only bitterly choose to stay and guard, desperately contacting unaffiliated kings, willing to pay any price.

Due to concerns regarding the Dark Night King, those unaffiliated kings dared not accept, which caused the Demon Disaster to become increasingly severe, reaching a point now where it is difficult to manage.

On the way to the capital of Hu Kingdom, Li Zhangsheng happened to pass by a small city that had just been captured by the demon army; from all corners of the city came the sounds of people's panic, screams, and the arrogant laughter of demons.

Li Zhangsheng did not continue toward the capital of Hu Kingdom; under his command, Aixi charged straight toward the demon army crowding the city gate.

During this process, the Secret Realm Phantom appeared above Li Zhangsheng's head, and a huge entrance opened, from which more than fifty adult dragons rushed out.

The dragons acted according to Li Zhangsheng's will; while swooping down, they poured various kinds of Dragon Breath onto the demon army below.

Except for a very small number of high-level demons and Great Demons, the rest of the demons blocking the city gate could not react in time before being covered by the crazily pouring Dragon Breath and turning into dust.

With just a single collective blast of Dragon Breath, at least a thousand demons were wiped out, including several high-level demons.

Due to the suppression of the Heavenly Dao Will, the more powerful the demon, the greater the suppression they receive; this was the case for these few fallen high-level demons, otherwise, they would not have lacked even the chance to flee.

"Leave the Great Demons to me, and leave the rest to you. The dragon that kills the most demons will be rewarded by me with a mountain of treasure!"

Encouraged by Li Zhangsheng, the adult dragons acted as if they had been injected with stimulants, crazily slaughtering the demons.

After all, this was only a small city, and the number of the demon army was only a few thousand, with only two Great Demons.

Even so, the defensive forces of this small city were unable to resist; the key was that many Stronger individuals had already left in advance.

While Aixi was chasing a Great Demon, Li Zhangsheng suddenly disappeared from Aixi's back, appearing like a ghost in front of the other Great Demon.
