Chapter 95: Chapter 95 : The War With The Demonic Realm (1)

The Heavenly Realm and the Demonic Realm had been at odds since time immemorial.

The heavenly creatures, deities, and gods enjoyed a divine and privileged life in the boundless, bountiful layers of heaven.

The demonic creatures meanwhile were trapped in dreary, infertile lands that were scorching hot during the day and frosty cold during the night.

The demons repeatedly tried to expand their territory to the human realm, either by directly invading it or mixing with the gullible human race.

This time around, the Fourth Demon King, one of the Seven Demon Kings who ruled in the Demonic Realm, formed an alliance with a rising demonic cultivation sect in the Human Realm.

The demonic cultivation sect, Crescent Mayhem Sect, started small but had recently grown rapidly thanks to the support of the Fourth Demon King. It gave rise to an avalanche of destruction that affected one human town after another.

Once the Fourth Demon King took the lead, the other Demon Kings too gave their support.

At this rate, the entire Human Realm was going to be swallowed by the Demonic Realm.

The war was to take place in the areas that were inhabited by the Fourth Demon King’s lackeys. The goal was to eliminate the Crescent Mayhem Sect and push the Demon Kings’ forces back to the Demonic Realm.

The heavenly troops consisted of the troops from Golden Dragon Palace, all the other nine palaces, and also the troops under the God of War and Destruction, Li Guang.

On the first day of the war, numerous war chariots and horses rained down from heaven with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, ready to punish the lawbreakers with the mighty fist of heaven.

On the devastated battleground, the sound of weapons clashing against each other trumped over the cries of those who fell.

Blood splattered in all directions, dyeing those who still continued to fight in red color. The smell of blood and smoke permeated the air, making it difficult for mortal beings to breathe.

In the middle of the chaos, Zhang Fengxi’s troops moved efficiently according to their commandant’s instructions.

"Commandant, we found the enemy’s supply storage!" the captain of the cannoneer regiment reported.

"Good, explode it."

"Yes, Sir!"

"Commandant, we located the demonic tower in this town!"

"Good, bring it down."

"Yes, Sir!"

Zhang Fengxi did not join this war in his previous life, but he memorized it by heart. This was the war where his father lost his life. Zhang Fengxi lost count of how many times he read the war record in the past, imagined the war scenes in his head, and saved his father in his dreams.

Zhang Fengxi squinted his eyes at the battling forces. He could see Zhang Zhiyuan in the distance, fighting bravely alongside other palace masters. Two days had already passed since the war began. On the third day, when Crescent Mayhem Sect was on the brink of destruction, the three Demon Kings stepped onto the Human Realm and fought the remaining forces of the Heavenly Realm.

It was a dirty tactic, for they expected the heavenly troops’ strength to dwindle greatly after fighting for two days and two nights.

They did not expect that the loss on their side was too great thanks to Zhang Fengxi. His precise and deadly attacks crippled the demonic forces greatly.

"The Demon Kings!!!" General Fu shouted. "The Demon Kings are here!!!"

Zhang Fengxi clenched his jaw.

"All of you, retreat!" he screamed at his troops. "Take care of the small fries, do not engage the Demon Kings!!!"

[Impudent heavenly creatures...]

The Demon Kings were all gigantic creatures who had humanoid bodies but beastly heads.

The Fourth Ghost King had the head of a bull, the Sixth Ghost King the head of a phyton, and the Seventh Ghost King the head of an eagle.

Zhang Zhiyuan gritted his teeth. He raised his sword at the Demon Kings and shouted, "Demon Kings! You have breached the agreement and infiltrated the Human Realm! If you do not retreat this very moment, do not blame us for being merciless!!!"

The Fourth Demon King guffawed.

[A mere heavenly tiger dares to speak up to three Demon Kings. Atrocious!]

Zhang Fengxi rushed over with the Three Realm Spear, but the distance between him and the palace masters was bigger than he thought. His palm was sweaty and his heart was pounding hard in anxiety.

"Please, Father, please," he begged in his heart as he crossed the river of battling soldiers and demonic cultivators to reach the palace masters.

The one who got in front of Zhang Zhiyuan first was Crown Prince Xie Jianyu.

"Then, do I qualify to speak up to the Demon Kings?" he asked.

The Sixth and Seventh Demon Kings cackled.

"A baby dragon. What will your father the Heavenly Emperor do when I send him your head as a gift?"

Xie Jianyu sneered.

"Try if you can," he said.

The eyes of the three Demon Kings glowed bright red in response. A tremendous killing intent emanated from their gigantic bodies.

The Fourth Demon King drew a demonic spell in the air that glowed like a ring of fire.

[Die.]

Thousands of fiery arrows shot at Xie Jianyu.

"Crown Prince...!!!"

Xie Jianyu raised Winter Frost like a shield in front of him and murmured, "Azure Dragon’s Annihilation, Third Form."

At the same time, he summoned an ice shield to block the fiery arrows.

Unfortunately, despite his excellent skills, he was unable to hold a candle against a Demon King. Not alone, at least.

Zhang Zhiyuan, Song Weiyang, and Li Haoran got rid of the demonic creatures that surrounded them and came to Xie Jianyu’s aid.

"White Tiger’s Wrath, Fourth Form!"

"Vermillion Bird’s Vengeance, Fifth Form!"

"Black Tortoise’s Blizzard, Second Form!"

The Divine Beast Skill Array was complete.

The Seventh Demon King let out a high-pitched scream in the air. A white energy ball formed within its beak. It grew bigger and bigger, and then it shot at the weakest of all the palace masters who sustained the array -- Zhang Zhiyuan.

Xie Jianyu’s eyes widened in horror when his ice barrier was broken by the single attack...
