Chapter 382: Realm Battlefield, Yingzhao Demon Fiend (Part 2)

“A long-lived Demon Fiend spoke up.”

“I see.”

The young Demon Fiend nodded.

“Haha!”

A Demon Fiend couldn’t help but sneer.

This Demon Fiend’s complexion was a grayish-green, like tree bark.

Xu Chang’an didn’t know its specific name, only that some of the Demon Fiends called him Elder Teng.

He was one of only two Harmonization Demon Race members at the rear of the Spiritual Boat.

One was the Blood-toothed Crocodile Ling Feng, and the other was this Elder Teng.

Although Elder Teng was in the Unity Realm, he was still an Yingzhao-level Demon Fiend.

But even so, the other Demon Fiends held a great deal of respect for him.

Because Elder Teng had lived for an incredibly long time—so long that no one even knew his true age.

According to rumors, Elder Teng was a Demon Race member from the same era as Demon Kongchen.

Demon Kongchen was a Fei Lian-level Demon Fiend, no less!

A true Great Power of the Demon Race.

His fame had spread far and wide countless years ago.

“Elder Teng, what is it? Did I say something wrong?”

“It’s not that you’re wrong! Just not entirely right!”

Elder Teng said, shaking his head sagely.

It was unclear what the Demon Fiends at the front of the Spiritual Boat thought about the Realm Battlefield, but those at the rear were extremely interested.

Seeing that Elder Teng was about to elaborate, all the Demon Fiends waited with rapt attention.

Xu Chang’an also put on a look of great interest.

He glanced at Chu Xianyi beside him and found that at some point, she had already closed her eyes.

With her eyes closed, Chu Xianyi’s cold, elegant aura receded slightly, replaced by a hint of softness.

‘This girl…’

‘Slacking off during our little discussion!’

‘What a slacker!’

Xu Chang’an couldn’t resist a silent jab.

“Our Demon Race has managed to hold its own in the Realm Battlefield, with the Human Race often holding back. That’s because our Demon Race has the Taiyi True Immortal!”

“The Taiyi True Immortal?”

“Correct. The Taiyi True Immortal possesses extraordinary combat prowess, far surpassing that of ordinary True Immortals. Even though the Human Race has more True Immortals than the Demon Race, they are extremely wary of this one transcendent being.”

“I see.”

The Demon Fiends all nodded.

“However…”

Elder Teng’s tone suddenly shifted.

“Whether the Human Race will still be so restrained in this war… well, that’s not a given anymore.”

Elder Teng’s gaze suddenly grew profound.

“Elder Teng, what do you mean by that?”

“Is there something different about this war in the Realm?”

A Demon Fiend voiced the question on everyone’s mind.

“The Realm Battlefield opens once every 129,600 years. Everyone knows this. But…”

Elder Teng paused for a moment before continuing.

“Who among you knows that every 103,200 times the Realm Battlefield opens, a truly epic war begins!”

“An epic war every 103,200 times the Realm Battlefield opens? The Realm Battlefield opens once every 129,600 years, so 103,200 openings is…”

a Demon Fiend exclaimed in shock.

“Over ten billion years?”

Ten thousand years! A hundred million years! A trillion years!

Such a vast expanse of time was an eternity, even for the Harmonization Demon Race.

Though their lifespans were seemingly endless, without ascending to the rank of True Immortal, they would ultimately face calamities.

“An epic war! That is a true mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, so vast you could row a boat across it—incomparably brutal! Even a Great Power Demon Fiend at the Fei Lian Level could fall on such a battlefield!”

The Demon Fiends listened, their hearts shaken.

Even a Great Power Demon Fiend at the Fei Lian Level could perish!

The Fei Lian Level, the seventh-ranked Demon Fiend title.

Equivalent to a Great Power Cultivator of the Human Race!

They could preside over a Demon City, suppressing a domain of a hundred million li and controlling the fates of countless beings. They are the true powerhouses of the Demon Race!

A single word from them contained endless might!

For such beings to fall, the intensity of the battlefield was truly beyond imagination.

Xu Chang’an listened quietly, his heart filled with shock.

He glanced at Chu Xianyi beside him and saw that her eyes were still closed, seemingly unaware.

‘This girl is certainly composed.’

“In just over seven thousand years, it will be time for that epic war, the one that occurs once every one hundred three thousand, two hundred cycles! Rumor has it this war involves the fundamental laws of the universe and holds profound mysteries. The three Great Realms of the Human Race will almost certainly not hold back. The infiltration of a Human Race Great Cultivator into the Su Fang Province garrison is proof enough of that!”

“At that time, on the Realm Battlefield, it won’t just be the Demon Race against the Human Race. I fear rifts will appear within the three Great Realms of the Human Race as well!”

Elder Teng spoke with great confidence, pulling out all sorts of secrets as if from thin air.

The Demon Fiends present listened, utterly mesmerized.

Finally, Elder Teng added one more thing.

“In another seven thousand years or so, with the strength you all possess, my friends, you will surely be able to witness this grand event, should you wish to!”

Elder Teng’s words ignited a passion in some of the Demon Fiends present.

Such a grand event might be one thing for a Harmonization Demon Race member. But for the Void Refining Demon Race, it was something they might not see even once in their entire lives.

But now, they had stumbled right into it.

Every time the Realm Battlefield opened, Military Merit Points were awarded.

It wasn’t just limited to soldiers of the Demon Army. Any ordinary Demon Race member who joined the fight and killed Human Race Cultivators would receive a corresponding reward in Merit Points.

Inside the Spiritual Boat, the many Demon Fiends chatted enthusiastically using their Demon Senses.

Except for a few, most of the Demon Fiends present had successfully completed their missions.

They were already in high spirits, and coupled with the aftershock of the previous great battle and the feeling of surviving a disaster, hearing such secrets now made their hearts surge with excitement.

The return trip was much faster than the journey out.

Besides their moods, it was also because of the unexpected incident they had encountered, which prompted the One-Horned Elder to push the Spiritual Boat to its full speed.

After several months, the Demon Fiends successfully arrived at Kongchen Demon City.

Outside the Demon City, the Spiritual Boat hovered in mid-air as the numerous Demon Fiends flew out one after another.

They entered Kongchen Demon City in groups.

As they entered Kongchen Demon City, Xu Chang’an could clearly feel that most of the Demon Race members queuing below didn’t dare to meet their gazes directly.

The few who did look their way did so with respectful expressions, tinged with a hint of envy.

‘In the Great Realm, strength reigns supreme!’

Xu Chang’an’s gaze was profound. After a sweeping glance, he flew into Kongchen Demon City with Chu Xianyi.

After entering Kongchen Demon City, the Demon Fiends all landed on the ground.

Although Demon Fiends had privileges, the no-fly order within Kongchen Demon City was no joke!

The throng of Demon Fiends entered the Demon Palace in a great procession.

They attracted the attention of some of the other Demon Fiends.

“Another group is back from a mission! Are they newly certified Demon Fiends?”

“Yeah! Another group! Huh?”

“No… Yingzhao-level, Iron-Cracking Level… That’s… a Ji Meng Level! Senior Yu Chen!”

“…”

Some Demon Fiends had assumed they were newly certified, not expecting them to be a group of veteran, old-school Demon Fiends.

Xu Chang’an and Chu Xianyi blended into the crowd of Demon Fiends and began to turn in their mission.

Back on the Ancient Verdant Wood, while collecting the Spiritual Treasure, Xu Chang’an had also taken the opportunity to extract the Evil Qi from a Full-bodied Demon Evil Cyan Dragon Worm.

When it was time to turn in the mission, Xu Chang’an glanced at Chu Xianyi.

He saw that the mission item she took out was standard and unremarkable—the yellow Evil Qi of a full-bodied Cyan Dragon Worm.

“Congratulations! From this day forward, you are officially Yingzhao-level Demon Fiends!”

The white-haired woman gave them a badge engraved with the symbol of an Yingzhao Demon Fiend and congratulated the two of them.

“Thank you!”

Xu Chang’an replied with a gentle smile.

Chu Xianyi also gave a slight nod in response.

“Let’s head back to our cavern estate first.”

After leaving the Demon Palace, Xu Chang’an said to Chu Xianyi.

Their main purpose for becoming Demon Fiends was to accept an escort mission and travel with a team to another continent.

Just now, they had asked the white-haired woman, and there were no long-distance escort missions available in the near future.

This time, at the Ancient Verdant Wood, Xu Chang’an had gained a great deal.

Plus, there was also Kui’s Treasure Demon Technique, Bright and Pure Disaster Relief, waiting for him to comprehend.

Therefore, Xu Chang’an was not in a hurry.

‘It’s unwise to be overambitious. There’s no need to rush after future opportunities before I’ve fully consolidated my current gains in strength!’

“Mm.”

Chu Xianyi nodded.

“However, before we go back to the cavern estate, let’s go eat at the Demon City’s Spiritual Food Pavilion!”

“Hm?”

Xu Chang’an was taken aback for a moment.

‘Is she inviting me?’

He hesitated for a moment, then said.

“Alright, let’s go have a meal. This Emperor will treat!”

This time, Xu Chang’an’s haul was substantial; he had earned over a hundred thousand Spirit Crystals alone.

‘A meal of Spiritual Food is nothing.’

“Demon Emperor, how generous of you!”

Chu Xianyi gave Xu Chang’an a meaningful look.

Xu Chang’an felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze.

It reminded him of their last meal of Spiritual Food, which Chu Xianyi had paid for.

‘And I ate quite a lot!’

“Looks like I’m about to go broke!”

Xu Chang’an gave a wry smile.

“Rest assured, Demon Emperor, this Palace Master would not do such a thing!”

A faint smile slowly appeared on Chu Xianyi’s cold and elegant face.

The two Demons bantered harmoniously as they walked toward the extremely famous Spiritual Food Pavilion in Kongchen Demon City.

“And you said you wouldn’t make this Emperor bleed money! Just look at how high-class this place is!”

Xu Chang’an put on a pained expression, gesturing dramatically at Chu Xianyi.

“Demon Emperor, you need to think bigger!”

The coldness in Chu Xianyi’s expression faded, replaced by a smile.
