406: Chapter 405: The Nine Demon Kings Who Reach the Heavens 406: Chapter 405: The Nine Demon Kings Who Reach the Heavens Crack!

Ye Xuan transformed into human shape, his hand clear as jade clutching the nape of the Candle Dragon King’s neck, holding him suspended in midair as if lifting a mere chicken.

A fierce and venomous intent to kill flashed across the depths of Ye Xuan’s eyes.

“Daoist…

mercy, please!”

Suppressed in Ye Xuan’s grasp, the Candle Dragon King could acutely sense the terrifying murderous aura emanating from Ye Xuan, throwing his mind into disarray.

In haste, he cried out for mercy, where was his previous arrogance now?

“A mere little Demon Dragon dares to be so presumptuous before me, do you not know what ‘death’ means?” Ye Xuan growled fiercely, his hand tightening slightly as if he would extinguish the life of the Candle Dragon King in the very next moment.

“Misunderstanding…

It’s a misunderstanding…

Daoist, please quell your thunderous wrath…”

The Candle Dragon King managed to speak with difficulty, forcing a smile that was uglier than a cry, fear written large in his eyes.

By right, the Candle Dragon King was one of the nine Great Demons of Heavenly Ridge, and this 3 million-mile Quishui Long River was his battleground.

When Ye Xuan arrived at Heavenly Ridge, the nine Great Demon Kings had naturally felt his presence, which led them to wait for him here in hopes of making Ye Xuan reconsider and withdraw.

After all, the Five-Colored Peacock clan is incredibly rare and shares bloodline ties with the Peacock Daming King.

Even Heavenly Ridge wouldn’t dare offend them.

The nine Great Demon Kings didn’t intend to harm Ye Xuan, they just wanted to teach him a lesson and then let him go deliberately, crafting what they believed to be a perfect ending.

But the Candle Dragon King did not anticipate that Ye Xuan’s Cultivation was far too terrifying; he was no match at all.

Not only did he fail to repel his opponent, he was now held captive in Ye Xuan’s hands—if he were to die here, it would be the utmost injustice.

“It is a joy to have friends coming from afar.

Daoist, please quell your thunderous wrath, and may we have a conversation in Heavenly Ridge.”

Suddenly, a rough voice emanated from within Heavenly Ridge, with Heavenly Demon Light also ascending, evidently, the other Demon Kings had taken notice of the situation, knowing that Ye Xuan was an exceptionally formidable adversary, and had no choice but to welcome him.

Hearing the voice coming from within Heavenly Ridge, the corner of Ye Xuan’s mouth curled into a cold smile.

He casually released the Candle Dragon King, clearly aware that the Demon Kings within Heavenly Ridge had been keeping an eye on him.

His merciless suppression of the Candle Dragon King had been to establish his dominance.

“Daoist, please!”

Having experienced Ye Xuan’s prowess, the Candle Dragon King’s arrogance had completely dissipated, his face now painted with an obsequious smile, and he personally employed a Demon Technique to lay out a bridge of demon light leading straight into the heart of Heavenly Ridge.

Stepping onto the bridge of demon light, Ye Xuan walked shoulder to shoulder with the Candle Dragon King, allowing him to thoroughly take in the sights of the entire Heavenly Ridge on their journey.

Myriad mountains stood majestically, millions of miles of desolate marshes where monsters lurked; towering Primordial ancient mountains rose sharply from the ground, with hordes of demons galloping through the mountains and Primordial species engaged in vicious battles.

This made Ye Xuan nod slowly, his heart filled with admiration.

Heavenly Ridge truly was a place of utmost savagery.

If a common Luotian Golden Immortal were to come here, it would surely be a journey of no return.

The journey of several million miles was quickly traversed, and soon, a mountain that pierced the clouds appeared faintly visible through the mist, the peak connecting Heaven and Earth, its rugged surface carved with the three giant characters “Heavenly Ridge.”

“Ha ha!”

“Daoist, you belong to the Five-Colored Peacock clan.

In the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Mankind, you are not a person to be underestimated.

Today you grace us by visiting Heavenly Ridge, and we welcome you with extreme joy.”

As Ye Xuan approached Heavenly Ridge riding the clouds, a wave of unrestrained laughter reached him.

Eight beams of demon light shot into the sky, and when the light dissipated, eight distinctly shaped Great Demons appeared before Ye Xuan’s eyes.

The leader, a human in appearance, was enveloped in a mist of blood, with eyes crimson as blood and an extremely eerie aura radiating from his body.

Evidently, this person was the Blood God King, the chief among the Heavenly Demon Kings of the Nine Demons.

Legend had it that he was born from the tainted qi of Heaven and Earth, and there were rumors suggesting a significant connection between him and the Netherworld Blood Sea.

His origins were shrouded in mystery, and nobody knew the extent of his cultivation.

The other seven, the Lionheart King, the White Deer King, the Yaksha King, the Ox God King, the Qingqiu King, the Roc King, and the Fire Demon King, were all notorious figures from the Northern Continent.

None of these seven Great Demons were ordinary; each possessed the cultivation of a Luotian Golden Immortal.

Among them, the Qingqiu King was a stunningly beautiful young girl, her exposed skin as translucent as jade, her captivating eyes soul-stirring.

The remaining six Demon Kings had diverse forms, each displaying traits of their true selves, but the aura of brutality was incredibly intense on each of them, and it was unfathomable how many creatures had met their end at their hands.

With the nine Demon Kings by his side, Ye Xuan wasn’t perturbed, but upon seeing the Blood God King, his usually calm face twitched slightly, and a hint of astonishment flickered in his eyes.

A Daluo Golden Immortal?

The Blood God King was actually a Daluo Golden Immortal?

Ye Xuan roared in his heart.

How could he not have anticipated that within Heavenly Ridge, there lurked a Demon King with the cultivation of the Daluo Golden Immortal phase?

Although the Blood God King was doing his best to conceal his aura, Ye Xuan, who had battled countless times with Daluo Golden Immortals, would not mistake the feeling, for the Blood God King was surrounded by extremely active Heaven and Earth Laws, a symbol of stepping into the Daluo realm.

Of course, the Blood God King was merely at the Daluo First Layer Heaven.

Even compared to Yu Ding the Immortal, he was far weaker.

Clearly, this person had just recently entered the Daluo realm.

Interesting, truly interesting!

As the saying goes, “No need to break an iron shoe in search of what comes easily.” Ye Xuan’s primary goal in coming to Heavenly Ridge was to take control of it and then lead endless demons to sweep through the Northern Continent, to completely dominate it.

Dominating the Northern Continent inevitably meant a bloodbath, but that was exactly the outcome Ye Xuan wanted.

As the saying goes, “Even a mosquito is still meat.” When countless demonic creatures perish, he could use the Tribulation Immortal Skill to devour their cultivation.

From little to much, one can attain Daluo, which was also Ye Xuan’s aim.

But if he could devour a few more Daluo Golden Immortals, breaking through to unprecedented levels of cultivation and breaking into Daluo on his own, that would be more than a good fortune for Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan had a faint premonition that the more cultivation he devoured, the more solid his foundation would become.

When he broke into Daluo, an extremely horrifying transformation would occur, granting him a terrifying boost in power.

He wouldn’t claim to be invincible among Daluo Golden Immortals, but he would certainly be one who could battle against ten.

At this moment, Ye Xuan’s gaze towards the Blood God King was like that of a connoisseur admiring a rare treasure, his eyes betraying a hint of covetousness.

“Hmm?”

The Blood God King, ever sensitive, could not miss the greedy look in Ye Xuan’s eyes, but he merely furrowed his brows, somewhat puzzled.

Why was this person looking at him with such fervent desire?

Although he could not figure out why Ye Xuan had come to Heavenly Ridge, the Blood God King didn’t dwell on it and just wanted to send the man away quickly; after all, he couldn’t afford to offend the Five-Colored Peacock clan.

As for Ye Xuan causing any trouble, that was out of the question, for the Blood God King was confident in himself.

Having entered Daluo a myriad of years ago, he knew his opponent, with the clear aura of a Luotian Golden Immortal, could not possibly be his match.
