"It's the arrival of a demon realm powerhouse."
As dark clouds covered the sky, countless people cried out in alarm, looking up at the sky with wariness and fear in their eyes, and some even showed terror in their eyes.
Endless demonic energy swept across the void. Within that aura, people saw countless beings carrying the aura of the demon realm. Their eyes were icy as they looked down at the people on the ground, sneers curling at the corners of their mouths.
The demon race has always been the enemy of humans. There is an unresolved hatred between the two races. The demon race has always regarded humans as blood food, treating them as their greatest tonic, known as the human-shaped pill.
Throughout history, countless life-and-death battles broke out between humans and the demon realm, each time paying a heavy price for both sides.
However, before the decisive battle erupts, sometimes entanglements arise between humans and demons, especially in places where the demon and human realms connect and humans coexist.
In this world, humans and demons trade, and even intermarry, breeding hybrid offspring between humans and demons.
However, whenever a bloody war broke out between demons and humans, these hybrids would be hunted down by both humans. Neither humans nor demons acknowledged their existence, believing they should not exist in this world.
However, every time a decisive battle ends, a long period of recovery follows, during which humans and demons begin trading and intermarrying. This is a phenomenon countless people cannot understand, but this phenomenon cannot be stopped by either humans or demons.
So, outside of wartime, although humans and magical beasts are hostile, they haven't reached the point where they must fight to the death upon meeting.
However, even if neither side fought directly, everyone knew that once the opportunity arose, whether human or demon, they would not hesitate to kill the other.
So, when the demon clan powerhouse arrived, people immediately became tense, and some spirited, warlike prodigies secretly gripped their weapons. Slaughtering demons was both the duty and honor of every human.
Black clouds howled across the sky, demonic energy swept across the sky, creating a stunning sight. Hundreds of millions of beings within the black clouds coldly looked down at the humans on the ground, yet did not make any other outrageous moves.
Within the demon army, countless powerful figures radiated terrifying aura. Besides the aura of Divine Venerable-level experts, people also sensed countless supreme auras. Clearly, there were also countless supreme-level prodigies among the demon clan.
The demon clan powerhouses charged in with fierce momentum, but they did not land directly within the human territory; instead, they stopped in a relatively remote area of Ziyan Heaven.
"Is this a show of force for us?" Long Chen looked at the group of demon clan warriors, a mocking smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
The demon race arrived in great force, causing a huge commotion. Their intention was clear: to tell the humans, 'We demons are coming, so be careful.'
When the demon clan powerhouses descended upon the land, the thick black mist slowly dissipated, and people gradually saw their faces clearly. Hundreds of millions of demon clan warriors had arrived, but their races were extremely chaotic.
Some demon clan powerhouses were as tall as mountains, while others were as short as infants, each with bizarre shapes and countless living beings.
There were actually over a hundred Divine Venerable Realm experts, and tens of thousands of half-step Divine Clan members. The arrival of such a powerful figure was truly astonishing.
Among these Divine Sovereign realm experts, there were four monsters carrying long blades on their backs, with blue faces and fangs resembling vengeful ghosts. They had horns on their heads, fine hair on their bodies, and an extremely terrifying aura.
As soon as they appeared, their gazes shot at Long Chen like blades. Both Long Chen and Yu Qingxuan's hearts trembled, as if they were being targeted by a bloodthirsty beast.
"The monsters of the Moluo clan—what are they looking at..."
Long Chen immediately recognized the auras of these four monsters. Their soul fluctuations resembled those of Moluo Tianye, so there must be some connection to them.
Under their gaze, Long Chen immediately felt a chill run down his spine, an intense sense of danger rising in his heart. These four monsters were too terrifying; just a single gaze from afar made Long Chen feel extremely uneasy.
What surprised Long Chen the most was that the focus of their gazes was not on him, but on Xia Guhong standing beside Long Chen.
"Big brother, do you know each other?" Long Chen couldn't help but ask.
Xia Guhong looked at the four monsters, a cold and fierce glint flashing deep in his eyes. He nodded and said,
"Yes, I do. Back then, when I stormed into the Demon Realm, it was they who severely injured me."
Long Chen gasped. So these four monsters were from the same era as Xia Guhong, and had even seriously injured him.
"There were eight of them at the time, but I killed four. Maybe this is fate, allowing us to meet again." Xia Guhong looked at the four monsters, his eyes filled with a trace of sorrow and endless murderous intent.
Long Chen knew he was thinking of his late wife. Even after so many years, his heart was still filled with hatred toward the Moluo clan.
"Big brother, how about we just go straight in? You deal with the old guys, and I'll deal with the little ones, how about that?" Long Chen looked at the endless demon clan warriors and couldn't help but say.
As soon as Long Chen spoke, Yu Qingxuan was startled. Long Chen was really bold, actually planning to join forces with Xia Guhong to attack the demon army. Was he serious?
You have to know, conservatively estimating the demon army, there are several thousand supreme-level prodigies—even more than the human race. Long Chen actually wants to attack them.
Xia Guhong smiled slightly and shook his head, saying, "When I came out this time, I promised the High Priest that I wouldn't get angry over personal feelings. So, I can't act out of selfish desires, or I won't be able to explain myself to His Majesty when I return."
My mission is to protect you completely. With so many old rivals appearing, perhaps everything was expected by the priest. It can be seen as a test for me. Long
Chen could tell that Xia Guhong held great respect for the High Priest of the Wine God Palace. Unfortunately, Long Chen had never had the chance to meet him and couldn't help but be very curious about him.
What kind of existence is the High Priest, that he can inspire admiration for a peerless hero like Xia Guhong, and even bring the powerful members of the Winged Demon Clan into the Wine God Palace?
Long Chen could sense that within the Wine God Palace, everyone held an extraordinary status. Yet these people were content with mediocrity, focusing solely on brewing and tasting wine, unconcerned with worldly affairs. The Wine God Palace itself was a mystery, and the High Priest was even more so.
Xia Guhong ignored the four demon monsters. After watching him for a while, they began whispering among themselves, discussing something unknown.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a thunderous explosion erupted, the void exploded, and a sky-covering wing pierced through the heavenly wall. Countless gigantic figures flew out from the spatial passage.
