"Blood Crystal Demon Lizard"
When Long Chen saw the man, his heart raced wildly as he recognized the man's identity.
Previously, Long Chen had dealt with experts from the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan. This clan possessed powerful Thick Earth power, and a special kind of this power was called crystal-based power.
This man was covered in scales resembling crystals, as if wearing crystal armor. On the scales, blood-red runes swirled, resembling a natural grand formation.
As soon as he appeared, the earth trembled, and endless earth power involuntarily surged toward him. Runes of thick earth surrounded him as if worshipping a king.
Unlike other Blood Crystal Demon Lizard warriors, even his pupils were crystal-like stones, as if two guardians were embedded in his flesh and blood. Being stared at by these eyes sent chills down his spine, as if his soul were about to freeze.
Behind this person, seven crystal dragons were rising, condensing seven life-bound dragon veins—the highest realm Long Chen had ever seen so far.
He stood above the void, overlooking the battlefield. Though alone, his aura dominated the entire arena, his power overwhelming the heavens, like an emperor descending to earth.
His gaze swept across the battlefield, lingering briefly on Tang Wan'er and Long Chen, then finally looked at Hou Tianwu. A strange curve appeared on his chip-covered cheeks, filled with endless mockery:
"Hou Tianwu, known as the peerless prodigy of the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey clan, one of the heirs to the throne, is this all he's capable of? Having been beaten so badly by a mere human, heh, that's how you still have the right to command the Heavenly Demon Alliance? You'd better obediently give up your position!"
The Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan's powerful voice shook the sky, invincible will surging. Countless experts from the Heavenly Demon Alliance trembled in fear at his voice.
It turned out that the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan was a powerful race. In the chaotic era, they were a major force that once dominated the demon realm alongside the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey, Purple-Eyed Nine-Tailed Beasts, and other clans.
However, at that time, the demon clan all submitted to the Chaos Dragon Emperor. Although they appeared to submit, they were not under the dragon clan's jurisdiction. As long as they did not provoke the dragons, they would not be willing to oppose them. Submission was only nominal.
Now, times have changed, the Chaos Dragon Emperor has disappeared, the dragon clan is torn apart and falling apart, and even some remaining dragons, without a leader and constant internal strife, have become influential and no longer seen as threats.
The Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey clan is powerful and has a deep foundation. They have formed the Heavenly Demon Alliance, relying on their formidable strength to threaten and bribe countless powerful clans.
However, many powerful clans looked down on the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey clan, knowing their strength but lacking recklessness, unable to accomplish great things, and thus did not join the Heavenly Demon Alliance.
The Crystal Demon Lizard clan was once as famous as the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey clan and was one of the royal families among demons. Naturally, they were unwilling to remain subordinate, but because they acted too late, the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey had many followers, and it was too late to form an alliance.
The Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey clan had talked with the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan several times, but how could the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan be willing to serve them? The Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan believed the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey was too arrogant.
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey clan believed the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan was ungrateful. At a time like this, they still couldn't recognize the situation and directly issued a challenge to the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan.
The Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan naturally wasn't afraid of the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey clan. If you want to fight, then go with you—who's afraid of whom?
But this time, the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan miscalculated. Although the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey clan lacked brains, some of the factions allied with them were clever, offering advice and strategies for the tribe. Instead of directly confronting the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan, they used the power of the Heavenly Demon Alliance to gradually seize control of the Silk Blood Crystal Demon Lizard territory.
He set up an ambush to secretly ambush the new generation disciples of the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan. Too many ants could chew on an elephant, and no matter how strong the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan was, they couldn't withstand such devouring.
Most importantly, with a powerful opponent like the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey, who was evenly matched with them, eyeing them hungrily, if this continued, the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan simply wouldn't be able to outlast them. In the end, the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard Clan hid away.
After the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan hid, the morale of the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey clan soared. Those who had been watching saw that the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan dared not challenge them, so they finally had no choice but to join.
You have to understand, the powerful Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan is forced to bow their heads—who still has the ability to stand against the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey clan?
As for the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan hiding in hiding, the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey clan didn't dare to press them too harshly. Seeing that they could no longer pose a threat, they stopped pressuring them.
After all, they feared forcing the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan into a dead end. If the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard fought back at the last moment, even if they were ultimately wiped out, the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey Clan could not bear such a huge loss.
Most importantly, the royal clans among demons aren't limited to just these two families. Who knows if other clans are secretly eyeing the situation like tigers lurking in the shadows?
If the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey clan were to be severely weakened and other royal families intervened, not only would all their efforts be wasted, but they might even face the extermination of their entire clan and lineage.
So, the two clans have always kept their own waters, with the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan developing quietly. In contrast, in the past century, the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan has become increasingly restless, as countless geniuses have emerged. The clan has grown rapidly, even clashing several times with the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey clan.
Some members of the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan even boasted arrogantly, believing that the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey clan had already declined, had no successors, and could no longer command the people's respect, and that the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan would eventually take their place.
Now, the man from the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan had arrived, his words full of provocation. His words nearly made Hou Tianwu's lungs burst with anger. He gritted his teeth and said, "
Xue Yingfeng, I know you—one of the top young powerhouses of the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan.
I heard you're shameless. To speed up quickly, you have a bunch of followers collect Destiny Divine Marrow for you, sacrificing others' time and delaying their cultivation to help yourself.
A selfish person like you has the right to criticize others? I, Hou Tianwu, have no interest in letting others help me cultivate.
Besides, you're here to lead the Celestial Demon Alliance—do you want the entire Celestial Demon Alliance to be just as cowardly as you are? Hahaha, what a huge joke."
Hou Tianwu laughed heartily. Many powerful figures behind him also laughed heartily to show their loyalty, but the one holding the turtle shell shield couldn't laugh.
Faced with Hou Tianwu's mockery, a mocking look appeared at the corner of Xue Yingfeng's mouth as he said,
"Beaten up like this by a mere human, and you still have the nerve to speak so arrogantly? This is the biggest joke. Watch me, wave my hand and suppress it."
"Whoosh."
Xue Yingfeng suddenly moved. No one expected that, just as he was arguing with Hou Tianwu, he would suddenly attack Long Chen. In an instant, he appeared before Long Chen, his large hand stretched out, and blood-red crystal covered his real palm.
But before he could make a move, a giant hand covered in stars struck his face hard.
"Suppress your ass, you mountain cannon!"
With a loud bang, Xue Yingfeng was knocked down by Long Chen with a single slap to the shock of countless people.
