Chapter 1394 |
The words of the Desolate Heaven Demon King sent a tremor through the hearts of all the Demon Kings present.
The No Thought Demon King was momentarily stunned before quickly asking, "Who did it? Do you have any specific information?"
"The avatar I left at the Desolate Heaven Demon Sect has transmitted a clear image.
Let’s all take a look!"
As he spoke, grief shadowed the Desolate Heaven Demon King’s face.
With a wave of his hand, an image materialized in the void before them.
In it, the Blood Empress Demon King and Su Jingzhen descended upon the Desolate Heaven Demon Sect.
The Blood Empress Demon King held a flower of energy in her hand.
She unleashed it, enveloping the sect’s entire headquarters.
Even the avatar left by the Desolate Heaven Demon King was obliterated in a flash.
The Desolate Heaven Demon Sect was annihilated in an instant.
"Blood Empress Demon King!
It’s actually her!
We waited for her here, but she struck at the rear of the Boundless Demon Realm!
This is too terrifying!"
"They’ve already penetrated deep into the Boundless Demon Realm and can descend upon any sect at any time. What are we supposed to do?"
"And why didn’t the Desolate Heaven Demon Sect’s protective formation have any effect? It was destroyed in a heartbeat!"
"..."
As expected, the destruction of the Desolate Heaven Demon Sect sparked endless fear among the Demon Kings.
"Lord No Thought, please avenge my Desolate Heaven Demon Sect!"
The Desolate Heaven Demon King looked at the No Thought Demon King with sorrow.
The No Thought Demon King fell silent.
Killing intent thickened around him.
He had thought the Blood Demon City incident was under control, a matter he could handle with ease.
But he hadn’t anticipated such chaos from the start.
Now, the Blood Empress Demon King’s actions had completely put them on the defensive.
For the No Thought Demon King, this had become a blemish on his record.
"Follow me back. This time, we must kill Blood Empress and her group!"
He spoke without daring to make bold vows.
After all, even with the formation disk’s barrier, the Blood Empress Demon King and her allies had escaped effortlessly.
With four Demon King-level combatants and their location unknown, capturing them would be no small feat.
The other Demon Kings understood this and sighed.
The Crimson Feather Demon King asked, "Lord No Thought, what about Blood Demon City now?
If we all leave, who will guard it?"
The No Thought Demon King frowned.
He regarded Crimson Feather seriously.
"Crimson Feather Demon King, you’ll stay and guard Blood Demon City, alright?
Don’t worry, I’ll lend you the Qiankun Formation Disk for protection.
If they return, just flee!"
He produced the formation disk that had once enveloped Blood Demon City and handed it to the Crimson Feather Demon King.
The Crimson Feather Demon King’s expression shifted.
A trace of fear flickered across his face.
Without the Scorching Sun Demon King’s precedent, he’d have accepted the task gladly, confident in his survival skills.
"But… with only my strength, it might not suffice.
Blood Empress and her group have four Demon King-level fighters. I fear I’m no match."
The No Thought Demon King replied, "You don’t need to kill them—just survive and escape.
Once we capture and eliminate them in the rear, the Boundless Demon Realm’s port rights will be yours for a thousand years!"
The Boundless Demon Realm, the second-largest realm in the Starry Sky Demons, offered substantial profits through its port.
Exclusive control for a millennium would elevate the Crimson Feather Demon Sect to new heights.
Truth be told, the Crimson Feather Demon King was tempted.
Even the surrounding Demon Kings showed glints of desire.
Seeing his hesitation, the No Thought Demon King smiled. "Don’t worry. Stay vigilant, and with the Qiankun Formation Disk’s protection, even if they return, your life will be safe.
Besides, they’re not in Blood Demon City right now."
Gritting his teeth, the Crimson Feather Demon King nodded. "If that’s the case, I’ll take the risk!"
With the decision made, the No Thought Demon King and the others didn’t linger.
Leaving the Crimson Feather Demon Sect’s army and their Demon King behind, they headed for the ruined Desolate Heaven Demon Sect.
Even at top speed, it took nearly half an hour to reach the sect’s former headquarters.
By then, it was a wasteland.
The site was now a massive crater.
Terrifying, eerie energy raged above it.
Countless vengeful spirits drifted in the void.
Disciples from other branches of the Desolate Heaven Demon Sect had rushed over upon hearing the news.
Onlookers from various sects filled the surrounding void.
The arrival of the No Thought Demon King and his group shocked them.
They didn’t grasp what had happened.
"Look at them—Demon King-level powerhouses, all of them.
What happened? How could the Desolate Heaven Demon Sect be destroyed so easily? Who did they offend?"
"The Desolate Heaven Demon Sect has stood here for countless years, an undisputed hegemon.
To fall in a single day is tragic."
"But see, isn’t that the Desolate Heaven Demon King?
He’s alive and well, so the sect isn’t entirely lost.
With him, rebuilding would take mere moments."
"..."
Curious onlookers from various forces buzzed with discussion.
Not everyone knew of the Blood Demon City events.
The No Thought Demon King ignored them.
He sat cross-legged in the void, his divine sense spreading out, searching for traces of the Blood Empress Demon King and Su Jingzhen.
A moment later, he stepped forward to a small mountain a hundred miles away.
Residual spatial fluctuations lingered there.
His expression darkened. "They tore through space here and entered the chaotic void!"
Once in the chaotic void, finding them would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.
The Desolate Heaven Demon King’s face twisted with rage.
Hatred and killing intent surged to new heights.
As the onlookers said, his survival meant the sect wasn’t truly gone.
But rebuilding its former glory would be arduous.
The destroyed headquarters had housed the sect’s most talented youths—
Demon General and Demon Sage Realm experts, the sect’s backbone.
"Lord No Thought, are we just letting this go?
I, Desolate Heaven, boldly request the Boundless Demon Sect’s Boundless True Demon King expert to intervene and capture these madmen disrupting our realm!"
The No Thought Demon King glanced at him coolly. "The Boundless Demon Sect will naturally compensate your sect generously.
But as for the Boundless True Demon King, forget it."
Only he knew the Boundless True Demon King was at a critical juncture.
If successful, the Boundless Demon Realm would no longer bow to the Demon God Realm, becoming the Starry Sky Demons’ absolute hegemon.
Compared to that, the loss of every Demon King-level force was trivial—the Boundless True Demon King wouldn’t stir.
The Desolate Heaven Demon King’s expression shifted.
Resentment flickered in his heart.
But he dared not protest.
In the Boundless Demon Realm, the Boundless Demon Sect was the sky.
Their word was law.
The name "Boundless True Demon King" suppressed all.
"Lord No Thought, since we can’t track Blood Empress now, we should return to our sects. If they strike suddenly, we might not stop them. The Desolate Heaven Demon Sect’s fate must not repeat!"
"Exactly. Our sects have super teleportation arrays and stable spatial channels.
If any sect is hit, we must rush over immediately!"
"..."
The Blood Empress Demon King’s group lurked in the shadows, while these sects stood exposed.
The danger was immense.
In that moment, the sects formed an alliance.
Though it seemed prudent, they sighed inwardly.
If there were a better way, who’d choose such passivity?
After a quick discussion, they cupped their hands toward the No Thought Demon King.
They didn’t linger at the Desolate Heaven Demon Sect.
Each returned to their own sect.
Though they’d joined the Boundless Demon Sect this time, they weren’t its subordinates.
As fellow Demon Kings, despite their lesser strength, the No Thought Demon King couldn’t compel them.
Watching them leave, his expression darkened, but he said nothing.
"Blood Empress, you’ve got some skill!
To escalate this so far—impressive.
Let’s see who laughs last!"
Before the Desolate Heaven Demon Sect’s fall, the No Thought Demon King hadn’t taken it too seriously.
To him, Blood Empress’s group were rootless drifters, incapable of lasting impact.
Now, he had to face them squarely.
He returned to the Boundless Demon Sect.
He feared Blood Empress might recklessly attack it.
Though its formations and barriers far surpassed the Desolate Heaven Demon Sect’s, he needed to prepare.
The Boundless Demon Sect wouldn’t suffer the same fate.
But if the Boundless True Demon King’s cultivation was disturbed, the loss would be catastrophic!
In the time it took an incense stick to burn, only the Desolate Heaven Demon King remained.
Though the headquarters were gone, countless disciples survived across the Boundless Demon Realm.
The sect had taken a heavy blow, but rebuilding was still needed.
As he prepared to summon the surviving disciples, the void nearby twisted.
The Blood Empress Demon King, Mo Xuantian, Mo Xuanling, and the old tree appeared.
Their auras locked onto him.
Above, within a ten-mile radius, a broken sword materialized.
It radiated powerful icy energy, forming a barrier, sealing all escape routes for the Desolate Heaven Demon King.
