Chapter 607: Chapter 601: Accepting the Challenge

"The Crown Prince must be joking. I am indeed a member of the Shadow Demon Clan. How could I be a human?"

Ye Xuan flatly denied it, as the other party, being only a Semi-Saint in Cultivation, could not recognize him at first sight.

"Still trying to argue!"

The Heavenly Demon Crown Prince sneered coldly, "You think your disguise is clever enough to fool everyone, but you can’t fool my eyes. Under my True Demon Eye, any disguise is a joke."

"True Demon Eye?"

Ye Xuan’s face showed shock, only to see that at that moment, a rune appeared on the Heavenly Demon Crown Prince’s forehead, unfurling to reveal a black eyeball.

"Damn. I forgot about this."

Zi Ying’s pretty face also changed.

Hearing this, Ye Xuan almost fainted. How could such a big matter have been forgotten? Wasn’t this clearly setting him up?

However, Ye Xuan, having been prepared, did not panic after being discovered. Instead, he appeared quite calm. He even stepped forward a few steps, "In fact, the only reason for my disguise was a last resort, since the Holy Tower does not allow unrelated people to set foot here."

"I have come mainly because of the injury suffered by the Demon Saint. As I understand it, your noble people are still troubled by this matter. I am confident that I can resolve this."

Ye Xuan said unflinchingly.

"Haha, what a joke. You?"

The Heavenly Demon Crown Prince did not believe Ye Xuan’s words at all, his expression turning chilly, "You must have come up with this excuse just to save your life after being discovered. You violated the rules and now you must die!"

With a swift movement, the Heavenly Demon Crown Prince seemed to teleport, clearly using a sophisticated Demon Clan movement technique. Only a shadow could be seen in the air momentarily before the Heavenly Demon Crown Prince appeared right in front of Ye Xuan, poking a finger toward his forehead.

Seeing this, Zi Ying’s lovely face changed. In a flash, she appeared in front of Ye Xuan, trying to block the Heavenly Demon Crown Prince.

"Whoosh!"

Zi Ying clasped her hands together, her arms trembling. The space around her as the axis suddenly twisted, creating multiple illusions overlapping unpredictably.

"Zi Ying, you can’t stop me."

The attack of the Heavenly Demon Crown Prince slowed not at all. His eyes grew sharper, like a hawk, and his finger penetrated the layers of illusions.

With a squelch, his finger struck Zi Ying accurately. In an instant, the illusions shattered like a mirage, and Zi Ying flew backward, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

The True Demon Eye of the Heavenly Demon Crown Prince could see through most illusions, undoubtedly a significant restraint on Zi Ying. It could be said that the Shadow Demon Clan was easily restrained by the True Demon Eye.

"Please, for my sake, spare his life."

Zi Ying wiped the blood from her mouth and hastily added.

"Impossible."

The Heavenly Demon Crown Prince scoffed coldly, "You brought a human to the Holy Tower and I haven’t even punished you yet, yet you dare to plead for him? Today this boy is doomed. He has offended the dignity of my Heavenly Demon Clan, and his death will be miserable."

"That’s not necessarily so."

Ye Xuan glanced at Zi Ying and, seeing that she was only slightly injured, turned his gaze back to the Heavenly Demon Crown Prince, "All this time it’s just been you blabbering nonstop. Don’t you really think that I’m just a soft persimmon that you can squeeze at will?"

"And if so? A mere Fifth Grade Martial Venerable, in my Face, you are no different from an ant." The Heavenly Demon Crown Prince said dismissively.

"Then perhaps you are about to lose to an ant."

Ye Xuan’s face remained as motionless as an ancient well, but he had already drawn the Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword, not being one to shy away from a fight.

"Heavenly Demon Finger!"

The Heavenly Demon Crown Prince still pointed out, using the same move that had injured Zi Ying before, simple and brutal. The Finger Light streaked across the sky like a meteor, aimed straight at Ye Xuan.

"Dragon Demon Guard!"

Ye Xuan stood immobile until the Heavenly Demon Crown Prince appeared close to him in a flash. Only then did he act, executing the first layer of the Dragon Demon Dominating Fist. His True Yuan surged, and a giant dragon’s shadow coiled around, forming a solid defense.

"Sizzling!"

Despite the Dragon Demon protection, the Heavenly Demon Crown Prince’s fingertip slowly penetrated, inching ever closer to Ye Xuan’s forehead.

On the Heavenly Demon Crown Prince’s fingertip, there clearly were a pair of gauntlets, which must have also reached at least the Quasi-Saint Artifact level; otherwise, they wouldn’t have so easily torn through Ye Xuan’s defenses.

At this critical moment, a dazzling light emerged from Ye Xuan’s forehead. The Sword Intent floating in his Qi Sea emitted a bright white light, suddenly shooting out, intertwining with the Heavenly Demon Crown Prince’s Finger Light.

Simultaneously, Ye Xuan’s Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword swung out, leaving a beautiful arc in its wake, dragging out over ten meters of sword light, slashing towards the Heavenly Demon Crown Prince’s arm.

"Sword Intent of the Heart!"

The Crown Prince of the Heavenly Demon flinched slightly, immediately withdrawing his finger, and then suddenly roared aloud, slamming a claw towards the Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword.

Under the frenzied encouragement of the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Demon, the ancient runes on his finger cover were also activated, forming a giant demonic claw imprint over ten meters long, striking out.

The claw imprint condensed into form, like a black cloud capable of destroying an entire city, its might impressive and its power immense.

"Boom!"

The Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword was struck and flew backward, fiercely embedding itself in the wall of the Holy Tower, leaving only a deep sword hole.

"This time, let’s see how you struggle!"

Seeing Ye Xuan bereft of his sword, the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Demon stormed back with his momentum roaring, laughing aloud as he swung his arms again, casting a huge black demonic claw imprint.

A daunting power surged from above, crushing down on Ye Xuan’s head.

Under normal circumstances, Ye Xuan would definitely not choose to clash head-on with the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Demon; instead, he would use his swordsmanship to fight, looking for Diyi’s weakness to seek a chance to win through exquisite sword skills.

The Crown Prince of the Heavenly Demon possessed the True Demon Eye, and his physical strength was extremely powerful; even the most clever swordsmanship would be greatly reduced before the True Demon Eye, so dealing with such an enemy could no longer be just a display of skill.

The Crown Prince of the Heavenly Demon had the Heavenly Demon Body, making close combat his forte. Now, however, with Ye Xuan fully activating his Dragon Clan Bloodline, there was no way he would fear physical confrontation.

The answer was definitely not.

"Dragon God Sound Wave!"

Ye Xuan transformed into a dragon in an instant, releasing a vast majestic dragon might, like a storm, and at the same time, he emitted an extremely ear-piercing high-decibel sound wave, which penetrated everywhere, instantly filling the entire Holy Tower and even affecting the Holy City outside, causing many demons with lower Cultivation to suffer temporary deafness and dizziness.

Crack, crack!

The demonic claw imprint in front of Ye Xuan scattered apart, shattered during the close-quarters assault, both individuals were pushed backward, with the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Demon retreating ten steps and Ye Xuan twelve.

"So, it’s a talent skill of the Dragon Clan."

The Crown Prince of the Heavenly Demon narrowed his eyes, no longer underestimating Ye Xuan and daring not to take him lightly again.

Among the younger generation of the Demon Clan, he was nearly invincible, hardly having any rivals. Even someone like Fei Lian could only withstand three moves from him at most, but now, Ye Xuan was able to withstand his continuous onslaught.

A fighting spirit flared in his heart.

At this time, more figures arrived in the Holy Tower, including Fei Lian from the Flame Demon Clan.

"This lad actually dares to battle the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Demon; he’s practically seeking death."

When he saw Ye Xuan clashing with the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Demon, he felt somewhat schadenfreude, as the strength of the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Demon was not something Ye Xuan could contend with.

However, as the battle progressed, his smile gradually stiffened.

Once the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Demon stabilized his stance, he immediately raised his arms, spread his hands downward, his fingers splayed and bent into a claw shape.

"Crack, crack!"

His fingertips were extremely sharp, embedded with ten sharp blades, resembling the claws of a dragon, a menacing Demon Rune flashing in the palm, squirming as if it sucked in thin strands of black essence blood, slowly becoming powerful.

"Demon God Explosive Claw."

The Crown Prince of the Heavenly Demon did not move from his spot, but his body seemed to have grown taller while condensing Claw Light.

Demon Clan’s Martial Arts differed from Human Clan’s Martial Arts. Martial Arts were about strengthening oneself while inflicting damage on the enemy, but many of the Demon Clan’s Martial Arts hurt oneself first to hurt others, through this form achieving the maximization of Martial Arts’ power.

Once the claw imprint was launched, sharp black airflows filled the inside of the Holy Tower, slowly compressing Ye Xuan’s space.

Swoosh!

Without hesitation, Ye Xuan directly dashed out of the Holy Tower. The space inside the Holy Tower was too small, and the Demon God Explosive Claw was clearly an area damage technique. If Ye Xuan had stayed inside to fight with the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Demon, he would have been at a great disadvantage.

Inside the Holy Tower, the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Demon also fiercely charged out, his speed even increasing a bit from before. The sharp claw imprint, with ghostly winds, caused local explosions in the air, numerous claw imprints flying around in mid-air like human hands or dragon claws, emitting "woo-woo" ghostly howls.

Pfft!

Ye Xuan, caught off guard, was hit by a demonic claw, which immediately exploded, tearing through the Protective True Essence and leaving a deep wound on Ye Xuan’s body.

"Thunder Dragon Locking Heaven!"

Faced with the incoming gigantic demonic claw imprint, Ye Xuan also grounded his energy in his Dantian, accompanied by a sky-shattering dragon chant that rang out, then punched straight forward. This punch seemed to ignite the entire space, with endless thunder pouring out, condensing into a massive thunder dragon sweeping forward.

Boom!

As they collided, the thunder dragon was torn asunder, yet the endless electric currents quickly covered the surface of the demonic claw imprint and finally exploded completely, leaving behind an astonishing firework that covered the entire Holy City.

In that moment, countless people looked up at the sky above, where the terrifying aftermath was still raging.
