Chapter 957 - 943: Gate

Su Muyao held her heart tightly, feeling a bit flustered inside.

He must be alright.

But when her transparent figure appeared in the sky above the Hongmeng Sea, she discovered that the vast expanse of the calm blue sea was shrouded in a strange black mist.

In the void where the sea level meets the sky, there appeared a sinister and bizarre gigantic Gate, spanning across the vast sea and sky.

This Gate was not an ordinary Barrier of Profound Light, its entire body was suffused with a thick and dark blood-red color, as if solidified with endless fresh blood of living beings, glaring and crimson.

Moreover, it seemed to have appeared suddenly, with strands of black mist seeping from the gaps of the gate, cascading down to the sea, making the cold seawater instantly emit a strange black gas at the point of contact.

This is probably the Polluting Qi.

No, there’s a pervasive red mist in this darkness, that’s the breath of demon energy.

It could be said that the demon energy is concentrated within the Polluting Qi.

Inside the gate, there is no heavenly light, no mountains or seas, only an endless, pitch-black abyss.

The extremely dense black gas, like boiling ink, surged and roared out from the Gate, with Evil Qi spreading across the sky.

Where the black gas spread, many Sea Clan Beastmen were immediately invaded and transformed, and the vegetation along the coastline instantly withered.

A corrupt and chilling aura swept over the thousand-mile sea region, suppressing the waves and rendering heaven and earth silent.

Wherever the black gas went, the air congealed, flying beasts fell into the sea, even the surrounding Spiritual Energy was entirely tainted and devoured.

In just a moment, a tall and upright figure slowly stepped out from the dark depths of the blood-red Gate.

It was an extremely beautiful man, with features so exquisite that they bordered on the demonic, his eyes sharp and striking, lips slightly red, skin coldly pale and nearly transparent, accentuating the intense demonic aura around him.

He wore a long robe of ink-black lined with red patterns trailing on the ground, strands of demon energy coiling among his sleeves, his black and red hair gently swaying in the eerie wind of the void, a pair of long phoenix eyes devoid of warmth, filled with cold indifference and brutality towards the living.

Behind him, shadows clustered, countless Demon Beasts emerged in succession, standing densely in the void before the blood-red Gate, each exuding a fierce and potent aura, brimming with monstrous Evil Qi.

"Kill, kill them all, this place will be ours."

The beautiful man’s thin lips parted slightly, his voice carrying an icy chill, delivering an indisputable command to massacre.

In an instant, countless Demon Beasts moved in response, without a moment’s hesitation, carrying dreadful black mist to attack in all directions over the sea.

Within moments, countless Beastmen were ruthlessly besieged by them.

The Hongmeng Sea was instantly stained with blood, the tragic screams and the sounds of slaughter slicing through the air merging into a continuous scene.

The powerful Guard Team of the Dragon Clan quickly moved into defense.

The Sea Clan Beastmen also took action.

But these Demon Beasts attacked with brutal decisiveness, intent on killing all the Beastmen in this place.

The Gate remained open, with more Demon Beasts continuously emerging from it.

...

Su Muyao watched this scene, her face turned pale, cold sweat dripping down her spine.

"That man, he is the Demon King."

Remember Lin Xu had explained certain things, saying that the Demon Clan is divided into Mid-level and High-level Demon Beasts, High-level Demon Beasts can transform into humanoid forms, much like Beastmen.

But the Demon King can transform into a humanoid form through cultivation, with no outward difference from Beastmen.

The strength and aura of this person should be that of the Demon King.

Initially, Demon Beasts invaded the Beast World Continent through such means.

As soon as they arrived, they slaughtered indiscriminately, thinking only of eliminating the Beastmen so they could claim this land.

Could the Polluting Qi also have been brought by them?

If so, they pose the greatest threat to the Beast World.

No wonder they could collude with the Destructive Black Lotus, they share the same goal.

The Dragon Clan guards and Sea Clan Beastmen continued to resist, but it seemed like the power levels were not on the same plane, with countless Beastmen perishing.

Watching the scene of slaughter, Su Muyao’s face grew pale, her heart tightened, and she couldn’t help but look towards the ancient Di Fu Yuan.

At this moment, as he observed these changes, his aura changed instantly, seemingly catalyzing the power within his body.

Under the influence of his power, the surrounding air seemed to explode, a long-silent unparalleled power burst forth from his body.

This power carried a majestic and overwhelming force capable of overturning the heavens, and erupted to confront the multitude of Demon Beasts.

As the Dragon King unleashed his colossal power, the heavens and earth trembled alongside him.

High above the sea, the sky suddenly gathered dark clouds, rolling black clouds, thunder roared, echoing through the heavens.

Bristling silver-white lightning traversed the ink-black clouds, crackling fiercely, electric light tearing through the firmament, a fierce gale sweeping over the thousands of miles of sea, raising towering waves, displaying the full might of overturning clouds and rain.

Di Fu Yuan’s eyes condensed abruptly, a chilling resolve of slaughter flashing beneath his gaze, making no extra movements, merely raising a hand to push through the air.

A vast force spanning the heavens erupted from his palm, pure white and dazzling light pierced through the pervasive black mist, enveloping thunder and gale, wielding supreme might, directly hurtling towards the sinister blood-red Gate.

"No, stop him!"

The Demon King evidently realized something, shouted loudly, trying to stop him.

But it was futile; Di Fu Yuan’s speed was exceedingly fast, and his power was astonishing, able to shake the heavens and earth.

As he channeled his power, anomalies appeared.

"Boom..."

An earth-shattering roar shook the world, gold light and the blood-red Gate collided fiercely, erupting in a blinding and dazzling radiance.

An overwhelmingly dominant suppressive force swept violently along the Gate, forcibly subduing the power of the blood-red Gate.

The rolling dark aura in the sky suddenly halted.

The blood-red Gate, which had been wide open, connecting to the endless Demon Realm, under the deterrence of this unparalleled force, forcibly closed inwards, collapsing until over half shut, leaving only a narrow gap.

The remaining demon fog seeped out slowly, no longer able to endlessly emit Demon Beasts, the oppressive slaughtering atmosphere over the entire sea abruptly diminished.

The black clouds still rolled, thunder still boomed, Di Fu Yuan stood amidst the raging waves, with immense power around him, single-handedly confronting the blood-red Gate.

"Our King..."

"King..."

At this moment, the Sea Clan Beastmen cheered excitedly.

Their King was extraordinarily powerful.

But that alluring Demon King eyed Di Fu Yuan, narrowing his eyes dangerously.

"All of you, go, kill him."

Not only did the Demon King move against Di Fu Yuan, countless Demon Beasts rushed at Di Fu Yuan.

Everyone knew the greatest threat was him.

Di Fu Yuan, surrounded by boundless power, slaughtered countless Demon Beasts.

The Demon Beasts charging over fell one by one, that Demon King confronted Di Fu Yuan, their battle extremely fierce, nearly tearing through the void.

Their speed was too fast, Su Muyao could not clearly see their actions.

But she couldn’t help but worry.

Time passed bit by bit.

They seemed to have fought all night, eventually injuring the Demon King.

Di Fu Yuan remained exalted from beginning to end.

The Demon King said angrily, "Set up the Demon Killing Array, you must kill him, use our Demon Clan Secret Technique..."

He shouted loudly.

Countless Demon Beasts began setting up that Killing Array, numerous streaks of demon energy crisscrossed at visible speed beneath the clouds, sketching an enormous blood-red array ring that encompassed the surroundings.

It was a large blood-red circle hovering above the heavens, red to the point of black, with bloody light steaming to the sky.

Blood fog surged and overflowed from the array, cascading onto the sea, dyeing the space above the sea completely scarlet, the strange and terrifying pressure bearing down heavily, shaking the heavens and wailing the ocean waves.

Just witnessing it, Su Muyao felt tingles on her scalp.

Soon after, countless Demon Beasts began to make sacrifices, this kind of sacrifice could rapidly amplify the power of the Killing Array.

Under the cover of the Killing Array, many Sea Clan Beastmen were swallowed inside.

Suddenly a whip appeared in Di Fu Yuan’s hand.

When Su Muyao saw the whip clearly, her expression changed.

That was the Xuanlin Whip.

She had obtained it from the Insect Clan Beastman Qiu Zhezhi in the Taixu Secret Realm, said to be a treasure of the Dragon Clan.

It was crafted from Dragon Clan Beastmen’s scales, capable of piercing strong defenses.

Unexpectedly, originally, it was from the ancient Di Fu Yuan?

This was his weapon.

Su Muyao thought of the Xuanlin Whip she had stored in her space, her heart and mind shook.
