Chapter 390: Chapter 387: Demon Venerable Great Battle

But as soon as his voice had fallen, a wildly arrogant burst of laughter once again came from the gap, followed by another figure leaping out.

This figure, skinny as if just skin and bones, emanated an extremely evil fluctuation that even made the two Half-step Demon Venerable Elders feel a shiver of fear. In the face of such presumptuous laughter, they couldn’t help but feel terrified.

The figure was none other than Ao Tian.

Following Ao Tian’s appearance, a change occurred in the heavens and the earth. Originally, he could have had a breakthrough in his cultivation while in the Ice Prison, but the nature’s spiritual energy there was almost non-existent, which had prevented his breakthrough. Now that he had come out, like Su Ying, he immediately made a breakthrough.

However, he had already possessed the cultivation of a First Grade Demon Venerable. After his breakthrough, he reached the level of a Second Grade Demon Venerable.

"It’s over..."

The moment they saw Ao Tian, the faces of the two Half-step Demon Venerable Elders changed dramatically, quickly turning deathly pale. It was already a headache for them when Su Ying escaped, but now that Ao Tian, an old demon who had been imprisoned for a hundred years, had also broken out, this was undoubtedly a sign of an impending upheaval.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

At that time, from the gap, one after another, figures broke through the air and landed in mid-air. There were more than a dozen figures in total. Apart from Ye Xuan and the first freed Three Demons, there were about ten Demon Lords Ye Xuan happened to encounter along the way, whom he had released. The cultivation of these Demon Lords was at least that of a Sixth Grade Demon King, so freeing them could certainly be of some use.

Once these Demon Lords emerged into the outside world, their aura began to change, and their cultivations advanced. The Wolf Demon, Scorpion Demon, and Snake Demon all broke through to become Half-step Demon Venerables. In addition to them, there were three other Half-step Demon Venerables, and the rest were Seventh Grade Demon Kings. The strong and insidious demonic aura they exuded rushed towards the sky, their imposing presence frightening, causing the guards of the Ice Prison to turn pale. If they hadn’t seen so many demons escape with their own eyes, they would probably never have known that the Ice Prison contained so many powerful demons.

The thick demonic aura gathered in the sky, giving the impression of dark clouds pressing down on the city, threatening to crush it.

Boom!

Someone couldn’t bear this pressure and slumped to the ground, unable to move.

Whoosh, whoosh!

Just as the guards of Sky Demon Mountain were on the verge of collapse, two powerful presences swiftly approached from afar. They were unmistakably two old men, with withered and ancient appearances, both having sunken eyes and faces like tree bark full of wrinkles. The force emanating from them clearly identified them as Demon Venerable powerhouses.

Moreover, one of them, like Ao Tian, also had the cultivation of a Second Grade Demon Venerable.

"Ao Tian, Su Ying, you two have a lot of nerve, daring to escape from the Ice Prison on your own!"

After the two old men arrived, the tall and thin one took a step forward. Upon seeing Ao Tian and Su Ying, along with others, he sharply rebuked them.

"Hmph, old fellows, had it not been for your treachery, how could I have been captured by you in the first place? If heaven doesn’t destroy me today, I won’t rest until I’ve dealt with you two old bones, to quell the hatred in my heart!"

Meeting their enemies made them see red, and Ao Tian’s eyes turned bloodshot as soon as he saw the two Supreme Elders from Sky Demon Mountain. These two were the very ones who had sealed him in the deepest part of the Ice Prison, condemned to live a fate worse than death for a hundred years.

Such hatred could hardly be articulated.

The two old men from Sky Demon Mountain looked at Ao Tian for a while, then their gaze fell upon Ye Xuan, and they frowned. The tall and thin elder also spoke with a grave tone, "Ye Xuan, are all these people released by you? No wonder the Demon Dragon Venerable said you had ill intentions. It seems he was right; you truly have brought a great disaster upon Sky Demon Mountain!"

Ye Xuan, after all, was the number one young talent of Sky Demon Mountain, so naturally, the two Supreme Elders recognized him. Seeing the situation before them, they guessed what had happened. Apart from Ye Xuan, the rest were all prisoners from the Ice Prison. There was no doubt; they had all been released by Ye Xuan.

"Really? That guy once said that?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan casually cleaned his ear and then dismissed the idea with indifference, "I’m afraid the one harboring ill intentions isn’t me, but someone else. I am just fulfilling my filial duty as a son, rescuing my own mother. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Mother?"

The tall, thin elder was startled for a moment, but then he quickly understood. The shock in his eyes grew more intense, and his face darkened, "So it is, you are that scoundrel from back then. You’re still not dead?"

"What, scoundrel?"

The other, the short and fat elder, was also extremely surprised, and then his face turned ugly.

"Shut up, you two old fools. You think you are of noble blood, but in my eyes, your so-called bloodline is worthless, nothing but ants."

These two old fools kept calling Ye Xuan a scoundrel, which also angered him. These two old fools held themselves in high regard, completely looking down upon the Ye family from the Tiannan Region. However, in Ye Xuan’s eyes, the Fifth Grade power of Sky Demon Mountain really wasn’t anything significant. The Demon Venerable powers, what of it? In the eyes of Ye Xuan, the Martial God, they were indeed insignificant.

"How dare you!"

The tall and skinny elder’s eyes flashed with a dark anger as he glared intently at Ye Xuan, "Don’t think that just because you’ve released these demons, you can do whatever you want. If we were able to imprison them before, we naturally have ways to do it again now."

"Is that so? I’d like to see how you intend to imprison me again!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Ao Tian let out a cold laugh and then suddenly moved, appearing right in front of Ye Xuan and struck out with his palm.

As he launched his palm, a massive black Sky-covering Handprint burst forth. As the handprint traveled, it dripped with numerous thick blobs of black liquid that corroded the air in its path, creating a vacuum channel.

The handprint moved with extreme speed through the vacuum, and in the blink of an eye, it had reached the tall and thin elder. With such momentum, befitting of a Second Grade Demon Venerable, it was astonishing, and its force seemed to swallow mountains and rivers.

Caught off guard by Ao Tian’s sudden attack, the tall and thin elder gathered his demonic power and swiped a palm through the air, sending out demonic power like a bolt of silk that swept forward.

Boom!

Their forces collided, sending ripples scattering in all directions. The immense Qi Force radiated outward, causing the tall and thin elder to stagger backward. In this clash, he was put at a disadvantage.

"Ao Tian, has your strength returned?"

Seeing this, Ye Xuan’s expression showed surprise, and then he turned to ask.

"It’s only about sixty percent recovered, but it’s sufficient."

Ao Tian’s expression remained indifferent. He had been trapped in the Ice Prison for hundreds of years, and his injuries were not something that could be completely healed so easily. It would take a long time to fully recover.

"Sixty percent strength can reach such a level; this Ao Tian is really not simple."

Ye Xuan revealed a thoughtful look. With just sixty percent strength, Ao Tian was able to suppress the tall and thin elder, who was also a Second Grade Demon Venerable. If Ao Tian’s full strength returned, then perhaps even if the two Supreme Elders joined forces, they would not be his match.

It seems that rescuing this person from the Land of Sin was indeed a very wise decision.
