Chapter 575: Frost Dream Realm, Under the Red Umbrella

‘That voice sounds familiar, like I’ve heard it somewhere before.’

Besides, they had already come this far. Even without that voice, Yun Mengshang would have unleashed her Divine Techniques.

Frost began to fall from the Demonic Qi-filled air. The ever-vigilant Chi Huang summoned his Demon Pearl, and an ink-black Demonic Qi enveloped the Demon Army.

He had heard of the infamous Frost Dream Realm. Moreover, with two people present who could use it, how could he not take precautions?

However, just as the Demonic Qi spread, a sharp claw pierced straight through his heart, seizing his core Demon Pearl. It was deftly ripped from his body. Then, with another strike, the claw tore through his Demon Body once more, passing through his torso to snatch the Demon Pearl he held as a weapon.

Having lost both pearls in an instant, Chi Huang slowly collapsed, twisting his head to look at the one who had backstabbed him.

“It’s… you… You’re… you’re the one… who’s… reawakened…”

Chimei, holding the two Demon Pearls, chuckled. “What are you talking about? Don’t tell me you haven’t shown signs of reawakening? We’re all in the same boat, so who’s to blame?”

The light in Chi Huang’s scarlet, vertical eye began to fade.

“Is that so… So be it…”

‘Thinking back, perhaps it was true. If I hadn’t been reawakening, why would I have stationed Chi Xiao alone at Rising Demon Pass? If I hadn’t been reawakening, why would I have led the army straight out of Demon Abyss City? If I hadn’t been reawakening, how could my Demon Pearl have been stolen so easily?’

‘Perhaps, consciously or not, I arranged all of this myself, just for this moment. Ever since the Demon Lord began refining the Realm Spirit Heart, the Demonic Qi’s control over me started to weaken. I kept myself in a state between awareness and unawareness simply to avoid exposing myself when facing the Demon Lord. I turned a blind eye to Chimei’s strange behavior and let Chi Xiao drift in his confusion.’

‘The Demon Lord only ordered us to hold our ground, yet I personally orchestrated this whole play.’

Realizing this, a faint smile touched the corners of Chi Huang’s lips. ‘Even as a member of the Demon Race, I’m still me, after all!’

With that, Chimei crushed the Demon Pearl that belonged to Chi Huang, and his presence was extinguished completely.

The ink-black Demonic Qi dispersed, and the allied Human and Demon Race armies watched, utterly dumbfounded by the scene.

‘The great Demon Race engages in infighting?’ The tribe belonging to Chi Huang saw their leader die and glared fiercely at Chimei, but they were suppressed by her Body Technique and dared not make a move.

They didn’t dare, but Chimei did.

Chimei’s eyes were filled with killing intent as she said coldly, “Devour them!”

Chimei’s tribe instantly pounced on Chi Huang’s. The battle was completely one-sided. Chi Huang’s tribe was quickly defeated, then furiously devoured by their fellow demons, unable to even enter a berserk state.

The bloody feast ended with incredible speed. The allied Human and Demon Race armies still hadn’t processed what had just happened.

Then, Chimei was heard giving another cold command, “Offer yourselves, my children!”

The million-strong elite Demon Army immediately dropped to one knee.

Chimei’s vertical eye narrowed, a light flashing within it. Black frost began to fall from the sky…

A life misplaced is a lifetime lost. A cold wind blew, and from this feeling of error, daylilies bloomed in an instant, spreading sorrow across the land.

Countless members of the Demon Army were enveloped by the daylilies, including the Sakun Celestial King who had once devoured Chen Dong. ‘If this is death, let it be in this tranquil beauty.’

The entire million-strong Demon Army dissolved into nothingness without a sound. The Frost Dream Realm had once again proven its reputation as the number one Divine Technique in the Floating Shadow Realm…

Tragic beauty is also a kind of beauty.

The last daylily bloomed upon Chimei…

The Human and Demon Race armies watched in silence, every single one of them deeply moved. Yun Mengshang, Yun Misha, and Yun Miqiu were all weeping.

The living beings who remained had never imagined the great war would end like this. Although they hadn’t been the ones to personally wipe out the Demon Race, they had never conceived of it ending in such a manner.

Chi Gai, immersed in refining the Realm Spirit Heart, didn’t even know his subordinates had reawakened, let alone that the entire Demon Race had been annihilated. Within the liquid-like Demonic Qi, he was naturally unaware of the events outside.

In truth, even if he had known, he wouldn’t have cared. The Demon Race was something he could create as he pleased. As long as there were enough living beings, the Demon Race was just a number.

Once he refined the Realm Spirit Heart, every living being in the Floating Shadow Realm would be his.

Just as he was lost in this thought, a red umbrella abruptly appeared within the Demonic Qi. Beneath it stood a graceful figure.

‘Someone walked all the way here without me even noticing?’

The withered old man was utterly shocked. He frowned and asked, “Little girl, who in the world are you!”

“I am Li Huiran: Lady of the Jiuzhou Realm Lord, Queen of Fuyuan Country, and General Manager of the Li Group!”

The withered old man’s eyes went blank. ‘What the hell kind of title is that?’

“First a boy, now a girl. My Land of the Abyss is certainly lively today, isn’t it?”

He then asked in a low voice, “What’s the secret of that umbrella in your hand? I can’t even see through to your cultivation!”

“Haven’t you traveled through the Great Thousand Realms? It’s just a common Immortal Artifact. You mean you don’t recognize it?”

‘This girl is just as abrasive as that boy from before.’

“Fine, fine. I’m in a good mood today. Little girl, how about you take me as your master? I’ll teach you a Cultivation Technique that will shake the Great Thousand Realms!”

“Hmph, you couldn’t even fool a naive schoolgirl with that line, and you’re trying it on me? Old man, I suggest you hand over my husband, unless you want to bring a world of hurt upon yourself!”
