Chapter 981: Chapter 979: Demon Race Seventy-two Demon Caves!

Three days ago, a large number of Hunters from the Hunter Ranking set out from War Soul City and entered the Primordial World.

Their entry into the Primordial World this time wasn’t to hunt Demon Beasts, but rather to hunt down a Warrior.

Simultaneously.

In the depths of the Primordial World, this land was the domain of the three Great Kings of the Demon Clans.

At this moment, the three clan leaders of the Underground Dragon Clan, Demon Tiger Clan, and Heavenly Bird Clan, along with hundreds of strong ones from each Demon Clan, had gathered together.

"Have you heard? Something big seems to be happening at the Nine Courtyards of the Miracle Ridge!"

"A lot of experts from the Hunter Ranking have entered the Primordial World!"

"Who knows what they are up to?"

The clan leaders of the Three Great Demon Clans said with a cold voice.

"Dragon Emperor, no matter what Miracle Ridge is up to, we cannot sit idly by in case they launch a surprise attack and disrupt the balance," said a bald Da Han with sharp eyes as he stared at the middle-aged man in a Black Gold Dragon Patterned Robe above him.

This man in the Black Gold Dragon Patterned Robe was none other than the Underground Dragon Clan’s strongest, known as the Dragon Emperor.

The bald Da Han was the mightiest of the Demon Tiger Clan, known as the Tiger King!

And beside them stood a beautiful woman clad in thin black veils, with a slender and curvaceous figure, she was the strongest of the Heavenly Bird Clan, the Bird Queen!

Dragon Emperor, Tiger King, Bird Queen, these three titles were hereditary. Whoever took the seat of the clan leader of the Three Great Kings of the Demon Clans would possess these titles, similar to how whoever ascended to the throne in the Human Clan Dynasty would be called the Emperor!

The Dragon Emperor nodded slightly, "I have a feeling that the winds of the Primordial World are changing. Especially after Lie Er was killed by some unknown expert, I’ve had a terrible premonition!"

The beautiful Bird Queen asked, "Dragon Emperor, what do you feel?"

"I feel like Miracle Ridge is on the brink of a major change," the Dragon Emperor said lightly.

"Dragon Emperor, are you referring to the disaster that befell the Red Immortal Sect all those years ago?" the Bird Queen asked curiously.

The Dragon Emperor shook his head in silence.

Suddenly, after pondering for a moment, the Dragon Emperor said, "Everyone is right, no matter what Miracle Ridge is up to, we must not take it lightly!"

"In that case, let’s dispatch the lords of the Seventy-two Demon Caves to investigate."

"What say you two?" asked the Dragon Emperor, turning to the Bird Queen and the Tiger King.

Both clan leaders of the Great Kings of the Demon Clans nodded slightly, expressing agreement.

Then, a hint of curiosity sparkled in the beautiful eyes of the Bird Queen, and her red lips curved into a charming smile.

The Seventy-two Demon Caves were the strongest among the younger generation within the Demon Clans of the Primordial World, all possessing the power of the Great Perfection of the Human Elixir Realm.

Within the Primordial World, the Seventy-two Demon Caves, the Thirty-six Demon Mountains, the Twelve Demon Mansions, together with the Three Great Demon Clans, formed the power structure of the entire Primordial World’s Demon Clans.

Only those with the strength of the Realm of the Great Perfection of the Human Elixir Realm could reside in the Seventy-two Demon Caves.

Only those who reached the Great Perfection of the Earth Elixir Realm could reside in the Thirty-six Demon Mountains.

The Twelve Demon Mansions, on the other hand, were reserved for those atop the Heavenly Elixir Realm.

As for the Three Great Demon Clans, they were the supreme rulers that reigned above all these clans!

Among them, the Black Dragon, the Man-eating Demon, and Huo Que, all of whom were infamous on the bounty list, were lords of the Seventy-two Demon Caves!

After the Three Great Kings of the Demon Clans finished their discussion.

From the depths of the Primordial World, nearly two-thirds of the renowned lords of the Seventy-two Demon Caves from within the Demon Clans of the Primordial World headed towards the central region!

This included infamous experts of the Demon Clans such as the Black Dragon, Man-eating Demon, Huo Que, and others from the bounty list!

On one side were the genius Warriors from the Hunter Ranking of Miracle Ridge.

On the other side were the lords of the Seventy-two Demon Caves from the Primordial World’s Three Great Demon Clans!

Once these two forces clashed, it was likely that there would be no peace within the Primordial World!

...

By the stream.

A Sword Intention congregated around Lin Bai.

Lin Bai silently bowed his head to look at the completely carved wooden carving of a woman in his hands, a hint of a smile appearing on his lips.

At this moment, Lin Bai felt his Sword Intention cultivation loosen a fraction, vaguely on the verge of a breakthrough.

Lin Bai’s current Sword Intention cultivation had already reached the peak of Ninth-Order Martial Intent.

If he were to break through, he would need to condense the Realm of Comprehension.

This was not an easy feat.

Rustle, rustle, rustle—

As Lin Bai sat by the creek.

From behind him in the woods, a series of light footsteps could be heard.

Before long, a man appeared behind Lin Bai; he glanced at Lin Bai, then took out a portrait from his storage bag, his eyes suddenly lighting up, and a smile involuntarily spread across his face.

"May I ask if you are Lin Bai?" the man asked with a smile.

Startled by the man’s words, Lin Bai didn’t even glance at the man and merely nodded slightly.

"Good, since you’ve admitted it, come with me!"

The man’s gaze turned fierce, and the smile on his face instantly turned icy cold. He stepped forward, his movement technique as fast as lightning, charging towards Lin Bai.

A terrifying surge of power aimed straight for Lin Bai’s back.

Lin Bai’s expression was one of shock as the Qingge Sword roared out of its sheath.

With a retaliatory slash, he forced the man back.

At this moment, upon taking a closer look, Lin Bai realized that he had seen this person before.

More accurately, he had seen him on the Hunter Ranking.

"Hunter Ranking, five hundred and eighty-ninth place, Sui Zirui!" Lin Bai looked at the man in front of him and said lightly, "We have no grudges or hatred between us, so why do you act against me?"

"Humph, when I’ve crippled your Dantian and brought you to Senior Zhao Longtu, you will understand for yourself!" Sui Zirui sneered coldly, reaching into his storage bag.

A cold, gleaming saber appeared in Sui Zirui’s hand.

"I didn’t want to use the saber, but you forced my hand!" Sui Zirui took out his battle saber, and his power immediately surged wildly, a razor-sharp blade energy furiously slashing down towards Lin Bai.

"Kill!"

Sui Zirui’s ruthless slash fell, aiming directly at the top of Lin Bai’s head!

"Are you seeking death?"

Lin Bai raged. He had no enmity with Sui Zirui, but the man had attacked him with the intent of killing. This infuriated Lin Bai!

"Lin Bai, stop resisting in vain. Your Seventh Layer strength in the Human Elixir Realm is no match for me!" Sui Zirui said coldly after a few rounds of fierce fighting with Lin Bai.

"Is that so?"

Lin Bai’s gaze darkened, his face icy as he rushed forward.

"Seeking death!" Seeing Lin Bai charge forward, Sui Zirui immediately became furious, his whole body’s Sword Aura tearing through the air: "Ten Extinct Swords!"

The Ten Extinct Swords, a famously Lower Grade Divine Power from the Knife Dao Sect that, once used, linked techniques together in an unbreakable chain of immense power!

"Hmph! Sword Heart Clarity!"

Lin Bai let out a cold snort as he executed the first move of the Mo Wen Sword.

Sword Aura collided with Blade Energy!

With a bang.

Sui Zirui’s body immediately flew backward, crashing heavily a hundred meters away, spitting out blood, his face filled with shock as he looked at Lin Bai: "What kind of sword skill is this, to be ten times more powerful than my Ten Extinct Swords!"

In that exchange of blows, Sui Zirui had already realized that Lin Bai’s Sword Skill was at least ten times more terrifying than his Ten Extinct Swords, resulting in Sui Zirui’s instant defeat!

Lin Bai stared at Sui Zirui and said in a cold voice, "Since you came to kill me, I cannot let you live! Die!"
