Chapter 557 - 556: The Great War Breaks Out

Chapter 557: Chapter 556: The Great War Breaks Out

"What about the other Divine Races, then?" Ling Fei’s eyes flashed.

In the Sealed Demon Land, there were a total of Seven Divine Races.

They were the Kunpeng Race, the Three-Eyed Qilin Beast Clan, the Void Rat Clan, the Stone Race, the Fighting Divine Ape Lineage, the Fire Sparrow Race, and the Candle Dragon Lineage.

Just then, a dazzling golden light flared in the northeast region of the Sealed Demon Land.

"Hmph! If you want to touch the Stone Race, you’ll have to get through the Fighting Divine Ape Lineage first!" A furious roar boomed like muffled thunder. An ape, twelve feet tall, suddenly shot out from deep within the mountains. As it emerged, its body swelled explosively, transforming into a gigantic ape a thousand feet tall.

The giant ape’s fur was golden. Each hair stood on end like an inverted Golden Needle, glinting with a dazzling light.

In his hand, he held a giant club forged from Celestial Gold. A monstrous, hostile aura erupted from his body, sweeping in all directions and blanketing a vast area for thousands of miles around.

Even Ling Fei could feel its terrifying presence.

’The Fighting Divine Ape Lineage!’ Ling Fei’s heart stirred. ’An Ancient Race is finally here to support the Stone Race!’

"Fighting Divine Ape!" In the distant sky, the eyes of the Void Rat Clan’s Emperor turned icy. "I’ve been wanting to fight you for a long time!"

The words had barely left his mouth when he shot forward. The Void crumbled in his wake as his body vanished into its depths.

The Void Rat Clan was naturally able to traverse the Void and could even lay Void Traps. Anyone caught inside could easily be drawn into the turbulent currents of the Void.

Even in the Ancient Era, this ability had made many of the strongest experts extremely wary.

"Have a taste of my club!" As the Void Rat charged, the Fighting Divine Ape’s eyes glinted. He shot forward, bringing his massive club crashing down.

BANG!

The club smashed down, shattering the Void and forcing a giant rat wreathed in Demon Patterns to appear.

...

Soon, the two powerhouses were locked in battle.

This left Ling Fei stunned.

The main combatants hadn’t even started fighting yet, but their allies were already going at it.

"That Emperor from the Divine Ape Lineage... he’s really one of a kind!" Ling Fei murmured after his initial surprise.

"That monkey is as impulsive as ever!" Just as the Fighting Divine Ape appeared, a Fire Sparrow emerged in the northwest region of the Sealed Demon Land.

The Fire Sparrow’s appearance sent a fiery light blooming across the sky.

It spread its wings, looking just like a Phoenix, and flew toward the Kunpeng Race’s territory.

"He Yao, it won’t be so easy for your Demon Race to do as you please in this world!" the Fire Sparrow’s deep voice rang out.

"Huo Zhikong, so you’ve come out too? Fine. In that case, I’ll indulge you for a while!"

At once, the man transformed from the Three-Eyed Qilin Beast leaped into the air, flying toward the Void ahead.

He thrust out a hand, which transformed into a giant palm. Billowing Demonic Qi swirled within it, blanketing the region. The terrifying presence it exuded was enough to make the very sky crumble.

The Fire Sparrow’s eyes glinted as it swept its wings to meet the attack.

"Huo Zhikong, with your meager power, you’re no match for me," the Three-Eyed Magical Beast sneered. The eye on his forehead split open, and a black ray tore through the air, shooting toward the Fire Sparrow. This black ray was incredibly sharp, piercing through the endless flames and aiming straight for the Fire Sparrow’s true form.

The Fire Sparrow retaliated, unfurling a Fire Fan and waving it toward the black ray.

WHOOSH!

An astonishing burst of fire erupted, engulfing the black ray.

This Fire Sparrow was powerful. They were descendants of the Vermilion Bird Lineage, though not of pure blood.

After several exchanges, he was clearly at a disadvantage, no match for the Three-Eyed Qilin Beast.

"The Seal on the Divine Demon Sea has yet to fade. Are you all so eager for war?" Just then, a deep voice echoed from the central region of the Sealed Demon Land. A dazzling light suddenly illuminated the world as a massive dragon appeared, its eyes like the rising and setting of the sun and moon.

One eye was like the sun, the other like the moon.

It was a Candle Dragon!

The moment it appeared, it lashed out with a Dragon Claw, swatting at the Three-Eyed Qilin Beast.

"Zhu Hong, you dare attack so rashly? Aren’t you afraid of weakening the Seal you’re suppressing?" the Three-Eyed Qilin Beast snorted. He transformed into a massive Magical Beast. Light Patterns on his single horn flickered like a sharp blade, tearing through the Void to pierce the Candle Dragon’s descending Dragon Claw. Simultaneously, a beam of Divine Radiance shot from his third eye, attacking the Fire Sparrow.

The Magical Beast was so ferocious that it could fight two top-tier experts at once.

"Even with just a sliver of my Power, I can still contend with you," the Candle Dragon snorted. He continued his assault, joining the Fire Sparrow against the Three-Eyed Qilin Beast.

If the Fire Sparrow were to be injured, the balance of power in the Sealed Demon Land would be shattered, and the consequences would be unimaginable. Thus, he had no choice but to dispatch a Spirit Body to engage the Three-Eyed Qilin Beast.

RUMBLE!

Several powerful experts battled in the Sealed Demon Land.

The terrifying shockwaves resounded in all directions, and the vast might of the Emperors washed over the land, striking fear into the hearts of all who felt it.

By now, everyone in the Seven Divine Races had been alerted. No one had expected the experts of the various races to break into open war in the span of a few breaths.

Meanwhile, back in the Kunpeng Race’s territory, Kun Wuji was still in a standoff with the Stone Race.

’It seems the two factions in the Sealed Demon Land are evenly matched.’ As one Emperor after another spoke and then immediately joined the battle, Ling Fei finally grasped the political landscape of the Sealed Demon Land. The Fire Sparrow Race, the Fighting Divine Ape Lineage, and the Candle Dragon Lineage were clearly allied with the Stone Race.

However, the Three-Eyed Qilin Beast seemed exceptionally powerful, and the Candle Dragon was unable to use its full strength.

This resulted in a stalemate between the two sides.

"Hey, big bird, looks like the helpers you called can’t join the fight!" The events happening outside were being projected for all to see. Little Shi Tou’s gemstone-like eyes blinked, a cunning light glinting within them. "Hey, big bird, watch out!" With that, the little guy activated the Holy Stele and sent it smashing forward.

"Young Master..." The members of the Stone Race broke into a cold sweat.

It seemed their Young Master was dying to start a war between the two races!

"So young, yet so rude. Allow me to teach you some manners." As the Holy Stele hurtled toward him, Kun Wuji’s eyes turned cold. He spread his wings and struck at the stele. A boundless presence also crashed down upon Little Shi Tou, causing the surrounding Void to explode.

"Yikes!" Little Shi Tou flashed away, retreating instantly. He stuck out his tongue and said, "I was just messing with you!"

The little fellow immediately retreated behind his grandfather.

’This little rascal.’ Old Shi Ren was speechless. He knew Little Shi Tou had done it on purpose, wanting to start a fight to teach the Kunpeng Race a lesson.

"Let us fight." The Holy Stone Spirit, handsome as a jade statue, strode forward. He tapped out lightly with one elegant hand, striking Kun Wuji’s sweeping wing.

BAM!

That patch of Void exploded. Kun Wuji was sent stumbling backward, clearly no match for the Holy Stone Spirit.

"Holy Stone Spirit, you are truly worthy of having lived for nearly a hundred thousand years. However, my Kunpeng Race is not to be trifled with." Though forced back, Kun Wuji remained fearless. With a flicker of his Heart Spirit, a profound light bloomed from the depths of the Kunpeng Race’s territory, and a terrifying presence erupted forth.

Wherever the profound light passed, the nearby Void roiled, forming waves thousands of feet high.

A vast tempest swept out, like a storm at the end of the world.

Then, everyone saw it: a Kunpeng, ninety thousand meters long, circling in the sky.

This Kunpeng was immense. Its outstretched wings could blot out the sky and sun. A profound light pulsed from its body, and the mere ripples of power it emitted carried the might to destroy worlds.

’That Kunpeng is massive!’ Seeing this, Ling Fei’s expression grew solemn.

Some ancient texts, like the Divine Demon Chronicles, recorded that the legendary Kunpeng was of an unknown size, spanning thousands of *li*.

Previously, Ling Fei had thought it was just a legend.

But seeing this now, he realized such beings might truly exist.

After all, this Kunpeng was already one hundred and eighty *li* long!
