Chapter 431: Chapter 410 The Ferocity of the Ancient Demon Clan_1

"Demon Race?"

Pang Jian was taken aback.

Only wild beasts existed in the Northern Qi Fragment Land engulfed by the Mysterious Fog, the Solitude Mountain Range.

Those beasts had once been the cornerstone of his livelihood, the source of income for supporting his sister.

The Mysterious Fog had begun to spread from the Extreme North Land, which was when the grey ape awakened its intelligence and was subsequently imprisoned by Shangguan Qin.

In Northern Qi, there wasn’t even a single decent Ferocious Beast or Spirit Beast to speak of, so where did talk of the Demon Race come from?

Not bothering to inquire word by word, he communicated with the Rebel Kid’s Beast Soul through his vast Divine Sense—the most direct and simple way to access the memories in the Rebel Kid’s mind.

A moment later, his heart was profoundly shaken.

Through the soulful images in the Rebel Kid’s brain, he indeed saw a multitude of beasts pouring out from the northernmost point of the Solitude Mountain Range.

Black and White King Pythons, Ice Armor Beasts, Blood Pattern Pythons, Double-headed Ghost Spiders, Golden Rocs, Flame Sun Beasts!

Comprising hundreds and thousands of Ferocious Beasts and Spirit Beasts from the Fifth Realm and higher, each magnificent and extraordinary, presenting an entirely different demeanor from any ferocious and spirit beasts he had seen before.

Clearly belonging to the same group, yet the beasts that suddenly appeared in the Solitude Mountain Range seemed stronger and more ferocious!

The Rebel Kid and the Heaven Clan’s Yu Xin had only just begun exploring the Solitude Mountain Range when they were abruptly attacked by the emerging horde of beasts.

To be precise, only Yu Xin was attacked by the beast horde.

The beast horde, claiming to be of the Demon Race, regarded the Rebel Kid as one of their own and after a scolding and a lesson, captured Yu Xin, whose Bloodline had reached the eighth level.

The Rebel Kid pretended to surrender but then quietly escaped when unguarded.

Uncertain of what to do, it simply wrapped its python body around the shuttle-shaped ship that was parked within the Mysterious Fog and, upon leaving the fog, sent a message to him, desperate for help.

"The Demon Race, they emerged from the Extreme North Land?"

Pang Jian’s mind raced, and he couldn’t help but think of that giant grey ape.

And more!

Back on Lake Heart Island, the Mysterious Turtle Spirit that had been imprisoned in Dong Tianze’s Heavenly Spirit Tower had also escaped and flown towards the Mysterious Fog in the far north after its release!

And his father seemed to have also vanished in the northernmost part of the Solitude Mountain Range!

The Extreme North Land of the Solitude Mountain Range, shrouded deep within the Mysterious Fog, must be very close to the Boundary Wall in the northern part of the Fourth Realm.

The numerous herds of beasts that suddenly emerged from the Mysterious Fog in the far north—could there be another landmass, or like the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land’s Fragment Land, hidden within the Mysterious Fog north of the Solitude Mountain Range?

Above the landmass and fragment lands, have there always lived vast hordes of beasts?

"Swoosh!"

Suddenly, a crimson demon shadow leaped out from the Mysterious Fog.

It was a Red-eyed Demon Wolf with deep red fur. Its dark red eyes gleamed with an intelligence-filled radiance, and its massive body was enveloped in intense flames.

"Sizzle!"

Fine flames and silent lightning, as if the essence of its Bloodline secret, danced in the flames that surrounded it.

Even from several tens of yards away, the intense fiery aura emanating from it and the violent surge of its flesh and blood made Pang Jian’s pupils constrict.

Its Bloodline was at the eighth level, but it was fiercer than any Armored Demon Beast or other eighth-level Ferocious Beasts from the Demon Spirit Continent that Pang Jian had ever encountered!

Pang Jian even felt that it outclassed the eighth-level Flame Dragon—Long Yan, whom he had seen outside of the Prayer Spirit Forbidden Land, emerging from the Dragon Cave.

This could be the most powerful eighth-level exotic beast he had ever encountered!

"Master, it, it is..."

The Rebel Kid whimpered and transmitted its voice.

"Master? Another master?"

The eighth-level Red-eyed Demon Wolf transformed in an instant, becoming a tall, thin man with red hair within the surging flames.

With a face full of rage, he bellowed, "You possess Black Dragon’s Blood, yet you regard a Heaven Clan girl as master and also call this man master! We of the Demon Race are the true rulers of the Purgatory World, and all races should prostrate themselves at our feet!"

"You are a disgrace to our kind!"

The Red-eyed Demon Wolf, capable of taking human form, scolded in frustration, "You have been enslaved by the lowly races of the Fifth Realm for too long, not even awakening the true power of your Black Dragon’s Blood! Remember, the Alien Tribes of the Lower Realm will never truly accept you! The reason your Spiritual Intelligence has not greatly advanced and your Black Dragon’s Blood is suppressed is because you are like us!"

"In your body flows the noble Bloodline of the Ancient Demon Clan!"

"You get back here!"

The human-shaped Red-eyed Demon Wolf roared.

"Crack!"

A myriad of fine flame and silent whips suddenly congealed into burning lashes, wrapping around the seventh-level Rebel Kid and dragging it directly into the Mysterious Fog.

"Filth Alien Power, it has indeed pervaded the Fourth Realm, the beginning has started!"

The Red-eyed Demon Wolf’s eyes gleamed with excitement as he growled, "This time is different from before! The opportunity for our Demon Race has truly arrived!"

"Awooo!"

He let out a long howl to the sky.

His howls turned into columns of flame that shot into the heavens.

Within each column of flame resonated the shock of the Laws of the Bloodline of his Ancient Demon Clan.

"Boom! Boom, boom!"

In Pang Jian’s view, those beams of firelight suddenly turned into erupting, tumultuous volcanoes!

The volcanoes burst forth with the Flame Force, releasing violent auras, as if to incinerate a piece of heaven and earth, to burn all life to ash.

"Alien Tribes, the Human Race, all non-demonic Wisdom Races, must pay the price!"

A beam of firelight suddenly roared towards Pang Jian.

Having a Flame Pool within the Spiritual Sea of his dantian, Pang Jian keenly sensed the terrifying Flame Force concealed within the beam of light and didn’t dare to be negligent. He made a split-second decision to summon the "Heart of Winter."

The Divine Object’s ice light blossomed, forming thick layers of ice.

The beam of firelight fiercely bombarded its way through.

"Boom!"

Within the beam, the tiny strands of flame and dark electricity, infused with the Red-eyed Demon Wolf ancestors’ Bloodline Divine Power, managed to shatter the ice layers, rivaling the ice power grasped by the Ice Demon in accordance with the Rules of Extreme Cold.

Feeling the explosive eruptions of countless Fire Mountains, drowning all beings of heaven and earth with their fiery Great Tao, Pang Jian’s mind reeled with shock.

Seeing that humanoid Red-eyed Demon Wolf displaying a look of surprise, and after letting out a wolf howl, it went on to manipulate more beams of firelight, Pang Jian quickly maneuvered the "Heart of Winter" to dodge.

"Swoosh!"

The "Heart of Winter" instantly moved to the void tens of miles away.

"Huff! Huff, huff, huff!"

Released by the Red-eyed Demon Wolf, beams of firelight turned into long whips of flame, swirling around the wolf’s body which had reverted to its true form.

Suddenly, the fiery whips converged into one, turning into a babbling river of fire.

"Boom! Rumble!"

The river of fire flew towards another side, shattering several bone-constructed boats, burning all the Mountain Ghost Tribe, Wood Tribe, and Yao Clan members aboard them to ashes.

Yet, the Ferocious Beasts tamed by these three tribes remained unharmed within the river of fire.

"What Ferocious Beasts, Spirit Beasts, all are part of my Demon Race! The Alien Tribes of the Fifth Realm enslaved you, repressed your fierceness and spiritual intelligence, making you willingly turn into mounts for their use!"

"How sad! How lamentable!"

This eighth-level Red-eyed Demon Wolf temporarily ignored the humanoid Pang Jian and followed the river of fire to attack more approaching Alien Tribe boats.

"Howl!"

Amidst his screeching, the giant red wolf’s claws easily tore apart boats dozens of zhang long, and from the flames gushing from his fur, any that touched the bodies of Alien Tribe warriors.

Those Alien Tribe warriors would scream pitifully as they turned into charred remains.

Level six, level seven, and even one level eight Yao Clan warrior all perished under the ferocious attack of the Red-eyed Demon Wolf.

"You definitely don’t know how powerful we originally were."

"Your ancestors, able to defeat our Ancient Demon Clan, relied only on numbers! With the same level of bloodline, how could you lowly and insignificant Alien Kinds possibly be the match of our Ancient Demon Clan?"

"Because you fear, you repress the bloodline and fierceness of those you call Ferocious Beasts, causing the creatures you’ve tamed in this era to become so weak!"

"..."

The eighth-level Red-eyed Demon Wolf, slaughtering the strong among the Alien Tribes, casually scattered the fire of the earth’s fury.

Alone, he caused the nearby Alien Tribe warriors to collapse into disorder.

After the level eight Yao Clan warrior, another level eight Mountain Ghost Tribe warrior also had his body torn to shreds by the Red-eyed Demon Wolf.

He taunted, "Mountain Ghost Tribe, a group of dirty beings living in the fissures! The dark, damp underground is your battlefield, and you should, like stinky old rats, forever hide beneath the ground!"

"Here, in this vast world, unfortunately encountering our Ancient Demon Clan, you have nowhere to flee."

"Huff!"

He turned back into a red-haired man, grabbing two heads in his hands.

Level eight, the heads of Yao Clan and Mountain Ghost Tribe warriors, burning violently in his clutches.

He faced the dim sky curtain of the Fourth Realm, towards the distant Fragment Land, and let out a succession of wolf howls.

In doing so, he vented the frustration and defiance in his heart.

Pang Jian, who had witnessed the whole scene from afar on the "Heart of Winter" with a solemn expression on his face.

Having truly seen the strength of the Ancient Demon Clan, he realized that all the so-called level eight Ferocious Beasts he had encountered before, including the Ice Armor Eel Dragon hidden in the Mysterious Fog, were nothing compared to the pure-blooded Red-eyed Demon Wolf.

Untouched and pure bloodlines of the Ancient Demon Clan had bred ferocity in combat that amazed him.

He weighed his thoughts, feeling that the three level eight warriors from the Flame Clan, the Ghost Clan, and the Bull Demon Tribe, who had chased after Zhou Qingchen and others above the Demon Spirit Continent, might not be able to subdue the Red-eyed Demon Wolf, who was of the same level, even if combined.

At the same bloodline level, a naturally massive Ancient Demon Clan beast could match several level-equivalent Alien Tribes!

The Human Race, being roughly on par in combat strength with the Alien Tribes, would also require several to possibly fight an Ancient Demon at the same level.

Pang Jian had truly witnessed the fierceness of the Demon Race.

"No wonder, the Realm God convinced the level ten Mysterious Turtle, letting a Great Demon like the Heaven Phoenix engage in battle. Perhaps the fall of the Heaven Phoenix involved several True Gods, in addition to the defection and aid of the Old Thunder Dragon."

"The Demon Race is indeed too ferocious; if this race were not repressed, and if the number of level ten Great Demons could reach half that of the Human True Gods, they would be enough to contend with the Human Race."

"The Alien Tribes’ repression of Ferocious Beasts’ bloodlines and the Human Race’s betrayal, this is the answer."

Pang Jian’s thoughts drifted as he comprehended many profound secrets through the ferocious combat power of the eighth-level Red-eyed Demon Wolf.
