Chapter 423: Activation of the Demon Seed

Duan Fengyun held the Xuanyuan Sword and went straight to face the Gold Hufa, who sighed:

"Duan Fengyun, why are you as annoying as your master, the Yellow Emperor?"

"Why does your lineage of the Yellow Emperor insist on sabotaging the grand plans of our Demon Realm!"

Duan Fengyun laughed:

"Those with different Daos cannot make plans together; we of the Xuanyuan Sect take the eradication of the Demon Realm as our duty!"

The Gold Hufa looked at Duan Fengyun; even if he had to sacrifice his life today, he would drag Duan Fengyun down with him, for Duan Fengyun's existence was too great a threat to their plans.

Unfortunately, even if the Gold Hufa were to throw away his life, he had no way to deal with Duan Fengyun, whose current strength was already on a completely different level from the Gold Hufa and the others.

Duan Fengyun held the Xuanyuan Sword in one hand and engaged the Gold Hufa in battle directly.

Meanwhile, on this side, Yuwen Tuo was locked in a heaven-shaking battle with the Wood Hufa.

Relying on the Mengtan Flower of Yuehe City, the Wood Hufa transformed it into countless Flower Rain Arrays to attack Yuwen Tuo.

However, facing the Wood Hufa's attacks, Yuwen Tuo, who possessed the Divine Fire Clone, remained at ease.

Yuwen Tuo used a Divine Fire Clone and vanished from the spot; by the time the Wood Hufa reacted, Yuwen Tuo had already arrived above his head.

Duan Fengyun used a Mount Tai Pressing Down move against the Wood Hufa, stomping him directly into the ground with one foot.

The dignified Wood Hufa of the Demon Realm was left with only his head exposed above the soil.

Yuwen Tuo laughed heartily:

"I never expected the dignified Wood Hufa of the Demon Realm to be so fragile."

The Wood Hufa looked at the large tree behind Yuwen Tuo, fixed his gaze upon it, and the tree soared into the air, transforming into a tree spirit to battle Yuwen Tuo.

But how could a mere tree spirit be a match for Yuwen Tuo? After a flash of sword blossoms from the Xuanyuan Sword in Yuwen Tuo's hand, the tree spirit exploded on the spot.

However, this bought the Wood Hufa a moment to catch his breath, and he charged out from the soil.

The Wood Hufa looked at Yuwen Tuo; he had not expected this Yuwen Tuo to be so formidable as well.

The Wood Hufa had originally thought Duan Fengyun was the greatest obstacle to their conquest of the Human Realm, but now it seemed Yuwen Tuo was no less of an obstacle than Duan Fengyun.

Ultimately, it was the Xuanyuan Sword in both their hands; its divine power was simply too immense.

The Wood Hufa looked at the Gold Hufa, who was already locked in a bitter struggle nearby, and knew he could only rely on himself now; it looked like he and his boss were going to meet their end here today.

The Wood Hufa was unwilling; he had not yet seen the Demon Realm unify the Human Realm, Demon Realm, and God Realm, and he was not willing to die like this.

Unwilling to fall here, the Wood Hufa charged at Yuwen Tuo with a heart set on death; his strength erupted, and Yuwen Tuo actually began to fall into a disadvantage.

Yuwen Tuo had not expected the Wood Hufa to possess such power, but all of this was within the control of Yuwen Tuo and Duan Fengyun.

After stepping back a few paces, Yuwen Tuo patted his chest and said:

"Little one, come out now. I know you want to test your moves on someone; this fellow right here is perfect for you to practice on."

Inside Yuwen Tuo's embrace was none other than the Zhurong Fire Spirit. Because Yuwen Tuo practiced the Divine Fire Clone, his body was filled with Fire Element, which was why the Zhurong Fire Spirit chose to stay with him.

Following Yuwen Tuo's patting, the sleeping Zhurong Fire Spirit began to wake up.

Upon hearing Yuwen Tuo's call, the Zhurong Fire Spirit jumped out from his embrace, its watery eyes fixed on the Wood Hufa.

Seeing the Zhurong Fire Spirit, the Wood Hufa was instantly filled with rage.

It was this very creature that had devoured the primordial spirit of his Fire Hufa, causing his Fire Hufa to vanish into thin air. The Wood Hufa felt extreme regret; he regretted not having completely extinguished the Spirit Sense of the Zhurong Fire Spirit thousands of years ago, allowing a sliver of it to survive.

But who among them could have imagined back then that thousands of years later, the Fire Hufa would die because of this sliver of Spirit Sense?

Thus, everything had been predestined in the dark.

The Wood Hufa had eyes only for the Zhurong Fire Spirit now; he wanted to tear this creature into ten thousand pieces. Thousands of years ago, they had been able to beat it until its Spirit Sense was nearly destroyed, and today he would extinguish its remaining Spirit Sense entirely.

Consumed by hatred, the Wood Hufa charged at the Zhurong Fire Spirit without a second thought.

Consumed by hatred, the Wood Hufa had long forgotten one very important and fatal fact.

The Five Elements generate and overcome each other, and fire is exactly what overcomes wood.

He was now recklessly attacking the Zhurong Fire Spirit, which had already upgraded into the Vermilion Bird Fire; it was like throwing an egg against a rock.

As expected, everything went as predicted; before the Wood Hufa's attacks could even touch the Zhurong Fire Spirit, they were burned to nothing by the Vermilion Bird Fire rising in clusters around it.

Seeing this scene, the Wood Hufa finally regained his senses.

He instinctively looked at the flames beside the Zhurong Fire Spirit, as if he had encountered a natural predator.

One must know that the Wood Hufa's true form was a branch of the World Tree, and the World Tree was something impervious to water and fire; yet now, the Wood Hufa actually felt a sliver of fear from the Zhurong Fire Spirit's flames.

The Wood Hufa shook his head and said:

"Impossible, even if the Five Elements generate and overcome each other, and fire can overcome wood."

"But I do not believe anyone can overcome me! Zhurong Fire, go to hell!"

The Wood Hufa once again channeled the Mengtan Flower, and instantly, the Mengtan Flower transformed into a sky full of flying rain, attacking the Zhurong Fire Spirit.

However, although the process was different, the outcome remained the same.

The Zhurong Fire Spirit did not even exert itself; the flames surrounding it simply burned the sky full of flying rain to nothing.

The Wood Hufa looked at this scene, still unwilling to give up, and he actually charged forward directly.

Seeing the fierce and malicious Wood Hufa, the Zhurong Fire Spirit felt no fear; instead, this fierce and malicious face appeared in its mind.

It remembered that a long time ago, this fierce and malicious face seemed to have bullied it, making it extremely miserable.

Although the current Zhurong Fire Spirit had long lost its memories from thousands of years ago and had been reborn as a different being.

Yet, thinking of the bullying it suffered from the Wood Hufa thousands of years ago, the Zhurong Fire Spirit was also enraged.

The Zhurong Fire Spirit turned the anger in its heart into flames and charged directly at the Wood Hufa.

The moment the Wood Hufa came into contact with the Zhurong Fire, he was instantly set ablaze.

And upon truly making contact with the Zhurong Fire Spirit, the Wood Hufa finally realized where his fear had come from.

He now knew that the flames surrounding the Zhurong Fire Spirit were no longer just Zhurong Fire, but the Vermilion Bird Fire, known for being able to burn everything in the world to nothing.

"Ah!

I am not reconciled!"

Before Wood Protector could even leave behind last words for Gold Protector, he was reduced to ashes under the continuously intensifying flame output of the Zhurong Fire Spirit.

A generation of Demon Realm Wood Protector thus fell, and the Zhurong Fire Spirit also avenged the humiliation of several thousand years.

At this moment, Gold Protector, who was fighting Duan Fengyun on the side, saw Wood Protector turn into ashes, and his eye sockets nearly split as he said:

"Second Brother!"

Ignoring Duan Fengyun's attack on him, Gold Protector took a hit of Golden Sword Qi from Duan Fengyun head-on, then ran to the fly ash left by Wood Protector while spitting blood: "Second Brother, how could you also leave.

Fourth Brother is gone, Fifth Brother is also gone, and now you are gone too.

You are all gone, how are Third Brother and I supposed to live!

Second Brother, you don't need to be anxious, I will soon bring this group of people down to accompany you all."

Gold Protector looked at Duan Fengyun and Yuwen Tuo with blood-red eyes; their Demon Realm Five Protectors had never suffered a loss in thousands of years, and he never expected to stumble today at the hands of two greenhorns.

Gold Protector looked at Yu Xiaoxue on the side; since he could not deal with Duan Fengyun and Yuwen Tuo, he would destroy those close to them, letting them feel the pain of watching their loved ones die before their eyes.

When Gold Protector stretched out his large hand to grab Yu Xiaoxue, he was intercepted by the prepared Duan Fengyun.

Duan Fengyun directly swung the Xuanyuan Sword and slashed at Gold Protector's large hand with one strike.

"Ah!"

Gold Protector, who boasted of a Diamond Indestructible Body and possessed the strongest defensive power, had his arm directly severed by Duan Fengyun.

Gold Protector looked at Duan Fengyun; his Diamond Indestructible Body of several thousand years had actually been broken today.

Could it be that Duan Fengyun was truly the nemesis of the five of them!

Gold Protector knew that he probably could not escape today, but even if he died, he, Gold Protector, would die with glory; he could not lose face for their Demon Realm Five Protectors.

Gold Protector looked at Duan Fengyun with a face full of fighting spirit; he was already prepared to perish together with Duan Fengyun.

Just as Gold Protector was about to make a move, a change suddenly occurred.

Ruyan, who had been watching the great battle from behind the crowd, suddenly went berserk, and her entire aura underwent a huge change.

Yuwen Tuo and Yu Xiaoxue, whose attention had been on Duan Fengyun and Gold Protector, both looked at Ruyan, and even Duan Fengyun and Gold Protector, who were locked in a life-and-death struggle, stopped fighting and looked at Ruyan.

Under their gaze, Ruyan once again transformed into the Mo Ruyan of everyone's impression.

Duan Fengyun looked at this scene and shouted loudly:

"Ruyan, what is wrong with you?

Come back quickly, do not turn into this appearance again!"

Mo Ruyan laughed wildly:

"Haha, Duan Fengyun, it is too late.

The Demon Lord master has already begun to summon us; we are going to welcome the arrival of the Demon Realm.

We are going to turn the Human Realm into purgatory together with the Demon Lord, hahahaha."

As Mo Ruyan's voice fell, a group of people exuding Demon Energy appeared instantly around the Yuehe Small Inn.

This group of people were all the kind and enthusiastic residents of Yuehe City from before.

Yuwen Tuo asked suspiciously:

"Big Brother, do you know what is going on?

How did they all suddenly turn into this appearance.

Gold Protector, you tell me, is this your doing!"

Duan Fengyun looked at the suddenly berserk Mo Ruyan and the residents of Yuehe City filled with Demon Energy, and he suddenly thought of a terrifying matter.

Duan Fengyun looked at Gold Protector with murderous intent and said:

"Gold Protector, tell me, did you activate the Demon Seeds you planted in the Human Realm?

You want to use these Demon Seeds as cannon fodder for you?"

Duan Fengyun did not expect that before the Red Piercing Demon Star had even arrived, the Demon Lord had actually activated the Demon Seeds.

It seemed that the Demon Lord had also realized the severity of the situation, and the Demon Lord was already prepared to have the final decisive battle with Duan Fengyun and the others!

The final decisive battle was about to begin!
