Chapter 127: Chapter 122: The Sinister Hand Reaching Out

SWISH SWISH SWISH!

A large number of Yin Demon Commanders hastily activated the Teleportation Arrays and soared into the sky. One after another, they came from all directions like pilgrims paying homage. They flew toward the center of the prison world, landing at a massive mountain range that pierced the clouds. In truth, it was not far from the Divine Mansion.

No matter how powerful the Yin Demons were, the moment they arrived, they all prostrated themselves on the ground. The groveling figures stretched as far as the eye could see, paying respects to their Lord...

"Great deity of our race, you shall guide the Holy Race to its rise!"

"We pay our respects to the great Holy God!"

The Yin Demons cheered like a landslide, their faces filled with pure excitement.

At the towering mountain range, dark mist churned, obscuring the mountains and completely hiding the full form of the Strongest Yin Demon. Within the massive mountain range flowing with black mist, only a pair of eyes as large as the sun gazed upon the Marching Battlefield. Just a pair of eyes, yet no one dared to look directly at them. A few curious Yin Demons merely met that gaze, and their bodies instantly crumbled and disintegrated.

Just a single glance... was this terrifying.

He looked at Yun Chu in the Marching Battlefield. "Not bad. Even in this era, the Human Race has someone with the aptitude for the Ultimate Dao! Very impressive!"

"We beseech the great Divine to completely shatter this defensive prison and lead our race to wash the World of Ten Thousand Races in blood!" a Yin Demon Commander pleaded.

SWISH!

The Strongest Yin Demon in the Black Mist Mountain Range swept his gaze over that Yin Demon Commander, striking it as if by lightning. It trembled uncontrollably!

"Since when do I need you to dictate my actions?"

His voice was calm, without even a trace of killing intent. Yet... that Yin Demon Commander instantly felt as if it had been plunged into an icy abyss. A bone-deep chill washed over it, and cold sweat poured down its body. A casual glance was enough to leave it paralyzed on the ground. If the deity wanted to kill it, it wouldn’t take the slightest effort.

He was truly the deity of the Holy Race. His power was absolute.

"Yes, yes, yes... The Holy God is absolutely right. This junior was presumptuous! Please forgive me, Senior!" The Yin Demon Commander kowtowed repeatedly. To think it was also a giant in its own right, capable of sweeping aside many Yin Demon experts. Its cultivation had reached the Saint Dao... But beneath this Yin Demon deity, it felt even lower than an ant.

"Hmph!"

Within the Black Mist Mountain Range, the Strongest Yin Demon withdrew his gaze. The Saint Dao Yin Demon groveling on the ground felt as if a mountain had been lifted off its back. Witnessing this, the other Yin Demons didn’t even dare to breathe loudly. These ordinarily incredibly brutal Yin Demon experts were now prostrating on the ground like docile little pets.

This was the deterrent force of the Strongest Yin Demon.

"Fascinating... How fascinating. To think the human juniors produced such a sapling. A single strike of his sword actually jolted me awake from my slumber..." The Strongest Yin Demon turned his gaze back to Yun Chu. "That sword... It is as if I see a few shadows of the Sword Emperor who swept through the All Heavens back in the day..."

The Strongest Yin Demon fell deep into thought, as if he had returned to that decaying era, sealed away in the dust of countless eons.

"If this boy is allowed to grow, he will undoubtedly become a grave threat to the Holy Race in the future..." Those massive eyes swept across the area once more. "Oh? The World of Ten Thousand Races is quite lively in this era... The Sacred Body... the Dominator Body... the Sword Embryo Divine Body Bloodline... They’re all here. It seems that today... I absolutely cannot let you live!"

With that final word of praise, his gaze turned toward the Divine Mansion. The Divine Mansion was not far from him. He looked at Su Tan, the Little White Wolf, and the Fat Monk.

"I thought the administrators of the Divine Mansion had all died out by this era. I didn’t expect there to be two or three small fries left!"

That gaze was too terrifying... Even through the barrier, it made the Little White Wolf and the Fat Monk unnerved, causing them to subconsciously take a few steps back.

As for Su Tan...

Sensing something looking at him, he instinctively stared right back. With a tranquil expression like a placid well, he "met the gaze" of those crimson eyes that were as large as the sun. He did not retreat. He remained entirely composed.

Seeing this, the Strongest Yin Demon couldn’t help but be surprised. He wasn’t afraid of him!

"Your aptitude indeed qualifies you to be a master of the Void God Realm!"

"You flatter me," Su Tan said calmly.

Why wasn’t he afraid of the Strongest Yin Demon’s gaze? He couldn’t even see a damn thing, so what was there to be afraid of!

Staring right back? Su Tan couldn’t see, but his eyes looked no different from an ordinary person’s. This illusion made the Strongest Yin Demon believe Su Tan was locking eyes with him. Regardless... in the eyes of the Strongest Yin Demon, Su Tan was composed, a display of incredible mental fortitude.

As for acting calm...

Su Tan was actually intimidated in his heart. However, being intimidated was no excuse to show cowardice. When facing an enemy, the more cowardly you acted, the happier your enemy would be. It would make them feel like dealing with you would be a breeze. Psychology dictated that remaining expressionless could make you appear more profound and give off a much stronger aura.

Could Su Tan possibly show an expression of "I’m so scared of you" right now? Absolutely not!

"Heh... Just a mere ant. So what if your talent is exceptional? You still haven’t grown into it. If you had another thousand years, perhaps you could become my opponent... But right now... you’re just a bug. Let me see how you stop me! Let’s see how you stop the Yin Demon Race from destroying the World of Ten Thousand Races!" the Strongest Yin Demon said disdainfully.

"Heaven-Seizing Finger! Destroy!"

As he spoke, a dot of cold light shot out from the Black Mist Mountain Range. It rapidly expanded. At first, it was the size of a mung bean, but eventually, it blotted out the sky and the sun. A single finger, yet it felt as if a whole world was overturning. At a speed the eye couldn’t track, it crashed into the prison’s barrier. Its target was not the Divine Mansion, but the direction of the Marching Battlefield.

RUMBLE!

The barrier reacted like a stone hitting the surface of a lake, rippling outwards...

POP!

In an instant, that patch of space turned into absolute nothingness. This was the power to shatter the void. However, even a force this powerful couldn’t shake the prison’s barrier.

"This... This is... the might of the Strongest!" The Little White Wolf had long since been jolted awake and stared in astonishment at the Strongest Yin Demon’s attack. It was an earth-shattering strike. "So powerful! If he is allowed to break out of the prison, who in the World of Ten Thousand Races could possibly stop him?"

"Heaven-Seizing Finger... Heaven!"

RUMBLE!

Another finger shot out from the Black Mist Mountain Range. It struck directly at the exact location of the first finger. The two fused together, unleashing even greater destructive power! The rippling prison barrier actually... shuddered.

"Heaven-Seizing Finger... Extinguish!"

The third finger manifested. Its sharp edge was fully revealed, shaking heaven and earth. The entire Marching Battlefield, the entire Yin Demon Prison, the entire Void God Realm... all began to buzz with a deafening hum. Whether Yin Demon, human, or Demon Beast, anyone outside of the Divine Mansion experienced an instant of ringing in their ears.

The protective barrier... trembled, on the verge of collapsing!

"Heaven-Seizing Finger... Earth!"

BOOM!

The fourth finger shot forth with apocalyptic force.

"There’s a fourth finger..." the Little White Wolf said in shock.

A chill ran through the hearts of Su Tan, the Little White Wolf, and the Fat Monk. It was world-ending!

CRACK CRACK CRACK...

The defensive barrier fractured, blowing open a massive gap.

CRASH!

But at that moment, the great defensive formation finally reacted. The instant the fourth finger struck, the prison barrier fired countless bolts of purple lightning, blasting toward the Black Mist Mountain Range. Each bolt was as massive as a pillar of heaven or a rushing river.

"Ahhh!" the Strongest Yin Demon roared, a shrill, agonizing scream.

"Damn you... Damn you... Damn you, Emperor of Ten Thousand Races!

"Don’t let me recover to my peak! Don’t let me break through this prison! Otherwise... I will slaughter all of the Ten Thousand Races!" he cursed.

"What are you all standing around for? I have already opened a path for you! If you don’t attack the Ten Thousand Races Cultivators now, when will you?" the Strongest Yin Demon bellowed.

"Yes, sir!" the Saint Dao Yin Demons replied.

They then flew toward the temporary passage carved out by the Strongest Yin Demon.

"Remember, you only have half an hour! After half an hour, that passage will close!" Submerged in the sea of lightning, the Strongest Yin Demon’s voice grew weaker and weaker... until it finally vanished. He was likely either resisting the Thunder Tribulation or had fallen back into slumber.

"Warriors of the Holy Race! Do not disappoint the hopes the Holy God has placed in us! Follow me and destroy the Ten Thousand Races Alliance!"
