Chapter 213: Chapter 215: The Power Beyond the Three Realms

"Mu Can, how could that be possible?" Xuanyuan Mingkong, as Mu Can’s mentor, was the first to express doubt. It wasn’t that he did not believe in his disciple’s abilities, but the notion that he could turn the tide under such circumstances was just an absurd fantasy.

"Indeed, a junior like him could possibly rescue us?"

Everyone voiced their opinions one after another, plainly unconvinced of Mu Can’s capability.

"Stop quarreling, let’s hear what Sword Venerate has to say." Although Ge Lao didn’t believe in Mu Can’s strength, he trusted Sword Venerate’s judgment. An Immortal Venerable who had comprehended the Realm of Sword Heart surely couldn’t be someone who talks nonsense.

"Because he controls a power that transcends the Three Realms." Sword Venerate spoke up, clearly disheartened. Now trapped by the Demon Clan, the prideful Sword Venerate found it humiliating to rely on a junior to escape.

"A power that transcends the Three Realms."

Xuanyuan Mingkong muttered to himself. Throughout the longest time he had spent with this disciple, he had not detected anything special about Mu Can. How could he possibly be a powerhouse with control over a power that transcends the Three Realms? Perhaps he received some inheritance. Yes, without a special inheritance, Mu Can couldn’t possibly have acquired the Monkey Wine. Could it be an opportunity gained within Jue Ming Valley? Regardless, Xuanyuan Mingkong felt reassured and proud if his disciple could achieve great things.

"Let’s prepare for both scenarios. If Mu Can comes to help, we’ll break out together. If he doesn’t detect the changes here, Ge Lao and I will exert our full power while the others try their best to make a breakout."

A group of strong individuals, even when trapped, still possessed the pride of the powerful. As the situation started because of Ge Lao and Sword Venerate, it seemed only natural for them to attempt to shatter the Big Formation with all their might.

"Is Anxi Demon Venerable really intending to disrespect us both?"

Xi Mu Demon Venerable was a middle-aged man with a sullen face, oddly donning a bright dragon robe, like an emperor, emanating an awe-inspiring aura. At this moment, he unabashedly radiated his Demon Lord’s presence. Normally in the Demon World, he and Anxi Demon Venerable shared an unharmonious relationship, frequently clashing due to bordering territories.

Liu Yun Demon Venerable had an inseparable bond with Xi Mu Demon Venerable. This time when they invaded the Mortal World, the two immediately formed an alliance and stationed their forces right next to Anxi Demon Venerable’s main camp.

Anxi Demon Venerable was well aware of their covetous gaze but was utterly helpless. Nonetheless, he never expected them to be so shameless as to openly come and steal credit.

Trapped within his Big Formation was an Immortal Venerable and several Mortal World strong individuals exceeding the Martial Saint. This credit alone would suffice to garner significant rewards from the Demon Ancestor.

Thinking that they could join forces to suppress him, how could Anxi Demon Venerable be such an easy target, they were too naive. What should he fear even if the two of them joined forces?

"Face, one earns their own face. If you insist on making a move, then let me test what you two are really made of."

"If you want to fight, then let’s fight. How could a Demon Lord be scared off by such trivialities? Even if I’m not as strong as you, I don’t believe you two would dare to kill your own kind in front of so many clan members. The Demon Ancestor has said, for this expedition to the Mortal World, everything must prioritize the overall interest of the Demon Clan. If the Demon Ancestor learns that these two attacked me for the sake of stealing credit, hehe, he will certainly not let them off easily. Even if the Demon Ancestor can’t descend for now, there will come a day when his true self will."

"Since Anxi Demon Venerable believes that the two of us did not come to assist, that greatly wounds my feelings. If that’s the case, then I shall make my move and test the strength of Anxi Demon Venerable for myself." The royal robe on Liu Yun Demon Venerable fluttered without wind, and his momentum slowly climbed to its peak, looking like he would strike any second.

"Looking for a lofty excuse, a villain is still a villain. Even if you’re a Demon Lord, what is there to fear from such petty thieves like you?"

To make a move and still find an excuse, Anxi Demon Venerable was already becoming enraged, furious at Liu Yun Demon Venerable’s shamelessness.

"Hehe, Anxi Demon Venerable really has a way with words. If we are petty thieves, then what should we call your attainment of the Demon Lord title by ambushing your mentor? Betraying your master and lineage?" Xi Mu Demon Venerable looked at Anxi Demon Venerable with a calm face.

Back in the day, Anxi Demon Venerable, in order to achieve the position of Demon Lord, launched a surprise attack on his mentor, Mu Kuang Demon Lord, directly assassinating him and devouring his Demonic Qi Fortune, thus attaining the position of Demon Lord. This fact is well-known in the Demon World, and such things do happen from time to time. After all, there are only so many Demon Lord positions, and without elimination, new Demon Lords cannot emerge.

"You’re courting death." Even though everyone was well aware of the origin of Anxi Demon Venerable’s title, no one dared to bring it up in his presence, not even Mu Kuang’s name was permissible to mention. Betraying the master and lineage had become his Heart Demon.

Anxi Demon Venerable went mad and charged at Xi Mu Demon Venerable instantaneously. Xi Mu Demon Venerable’s original form was a spiritual root of the Demon World that achieved the position of Demon Lord through transformation and by drawing upon the earth and sky’s Demonic Qi. Although his combat power was not strong, he was still a bona fide Demon Lord.

Anxi Demon Venerable roared as he rushed towards Xi Mu Demon Venerable.

"I’ll tear you to pieces, how dare you bring up that old geezer, I’ll shred you today."

With just a single sentence, Anxi Demon Venerable, who always seemed calmly in control, suddenly became enraged, his combat power skyrocketing beyond several levels. Mu Kuang’s name was like a forbidden scale, capable of making Anxi Demon Venerable lose his composure completely.

"Have they started fighting?" Although trapped inside the Big Formation, Xuanyuan Mingkong and the others could still sense the situation outside, and now seeing the Demon Clan start to fight amongst themselves, hope was rekindled in their hearts.

"The Demon Clan is naturally a belligerent race. They grow by devouring others."

Sword Venerate obviously knew more about the Demon Clan than the others. After all, there had been more than one occasion when the Demon World and the Immortal World had skirmished. People of the Immortal World, as celestial beings, knew far more about the Demon World than those in the Mortal World.

In a fit of rage, Anxi Demon Venerable fought with full strength, single-handedly battling two Demon Lords without falling behind. Not only did he not fall behind, but he even seemed to have a slight upper hand over the two.

Anxi Demon Venerable brought out his weapon, a double-edged great axe. With each swing of the axe, it seemed as if it could cleave through the very fabric of space, stirring slight ripples with each swing.

"What exactly is happening over there, our masters won’t be in danger, will they?" Mu Can rose into the air and saw a scene of chaos within the Demon World’s encampment, with Demonic Qi boiling like turbid water, rising straight into the sky, dense and overwhelming as if it were the end of the world.
