The Demon Clan Army Attacks the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan
Feng Xiu walked out of the palace.
His divine sense enveloped all of Heart City.
Demon Clan soldiers hurried back and forth around the Demon God Pillars, while transport teams brought a steady stream of resources from both the Star Dou Great Forest and Spirit Hall, piling them onto the array's foundation.
The Ten Earths Nine Heavens God-Slaying Great Array had begun to take shape. Its framework spread over a vast area, but it was still far from complete.
"There still aren't enough resources."
Feng Xiu withdrew his gaze.
"It seems I'll have to visit the Upper Three Sects myself next, and that so-called... Slaughter City."
"As for the Far North..."
Feng Xiu raised a hand, tore open a spatial rift, and stepped through.
The next second, he appeared above the Lake of Life.
The lake's surface was calm, but undercurrents surged beneath it. Before long, silver light rose from its center.
Gu Yuena slowly emerged from the water, her silver hair clinging to her shoulders and dripping as she raised her violet eyes to look at him.
"Demon God Emperor."
Gu Yuena's tone was neither cold nor warm.
"What brings you here?"
"I need the resources of the Far North. You may name whatever conditions you wish."
Feng Xiu landed on the lake without stirring a ripple beneath his feet.
Gu Yuena did not answer immediately. She remained silent for several breaths before speaking.
"Did the Sea God descend upon the Douluo Continent three months ago?"
"I sensed his presence here in the Lake of Life."
She stared into Feng Xiu's eyes.
"What happened to the Sea God afterward?"
"Just a fisherman."
Feng Xiu's tone was indifferent.
"I've already slain him."
Gu Yuena froze for a moment.
Her strength had yet to fully recover, and she was only comparable to a Third-Level God. Even she was no match for a First-Level God like the Sea God, who carried a Super Divine Artifact.
And the man before her had actually slain him so easily?
"...You killed the Sea God?" Gu Yuena's voice grew a little tense.
"Is it really so surprising that I crushed an ant underfoot?"
Feng Xiu spoke casually.
Gu Yuena took a deep breath and suppressed the shock on her face.
She had intended to set some conditions, but now she swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue.
She now had great faith in the promise Feng Xiu had made to them Soul Beasts.
"No conditions."
Gu Yuena spoke slowly.
"I'll obtain the resources of the Far North for you. I only hope that what you said back then still holds true."
Feng Xiu looked at her and nodded.
"Of course."
Gu Yuena breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension in her face eased.
She had still been half-wary of Feng Xiu before, but now she truly believed him for the most part.
Perhaps the man before her really could reach the Dragon God's level.
"That's good." She nodded.
Feng Xiu did not linger. He raised a hand, tore open a rift, and stepped through.
The rift closed and vanished in the blink of an eye.
Three days later.
Heavy rain fell from a misty sky.
Feng Xiu stood with one hand behind his back and a wine cup in the other, his cold eyes fixed on the direction of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. He looked like a god of slaughter.
"The weather is changing!"
A cruel smile curved his lips.
The Upper Three Sects...
Clack, clack, clack!
Footsteps sounded.
A Demon God came running back through the rain and knelt on the ground, drenched from head to toe.
"Your Majesty, the Demon Clan army has finished assembling!"
"Mm."
Feng Xiu waved a hand, and the Demon God withdrew.
"Big brother!"
Agares walked over, his brows slightly furrowed, looking hesitant.
"What is it, second brother?"
Feng Xiu turned to look at him.
Agares was silent for a while before finally speaking.
"Big brother, didn't you say you wouldn't massacre the human race? Why this time?"
Feng Xiu looked up at the sky.
"Second brother, I know you're fonder of the human race."
"But our clan has descended here, and to survive, we can only keep fighting and plundering."
"Our clan is in crisis. The gods of the Divine Realm have already noticed our Demon Clan. If we don't finish building the Ten Earths Nine Heavens God-Slaying Great Array soon..."
"You and I will once again see the Demon Clan meet its destruction."
Agares fell silent at his words.
Big brother is right.
This world has always been one where the weak are prey to the strong.
Big brother is the Demon God Emperor. He bears the heavy responsibility of the Demon Clan.
How could I...
"I'm sorry, big brother. I understand."
Agares spoke, determination flickering in his eyes.
"For the Demon Clan, I'll do everything in my power!"
Feng Xiu patted him on the shoulder.
"This time, I'm determined to succeed!"
"Isn't third brother going?"
"Let Vassago stay in Heart City in case anything unexpected happens."
"You'll lead Marbas and Baimon to attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"A Nan, Valefor, and Samigina will attack the Heaven Dou Empire."
"I'll lead Pal and Barbatos to attack the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect."
As for the Clear Sky Sect and the Star Luo Imperial Family, the former's whereabouts were unknown, and the latter was too far away. Neither was part of this plan.
"Mm!!"
Agares nodded, then went to issue the orders.
Two days later, at the fourth quarter of the early morning.
The curtain of rain had lasted for two days.
A rumbling shook the ceaseless sound of rain.
The entire Demon Clan army appeared in a vast procession near the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
Yet the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect had received no news of it.
They had spent months trembling with fear without seeing any action from the Demon Clan in the Star Dou Great Forest, and had gradually let down their guard.
They had never expected the Demon Clan to move at night under cover of heavy rain.
The sound of the downpour drowned out the clamor of footsteps.
Two Demon Gods stood beside Feng Xiu.
Barbatos, the Force Demon God of the eighth pillar.
Pal, the Lightning Demon God of the tenth pillar.
Feng Xiu had no intention of acting personally.
His deep, indifferent eyes turned toward the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
"Pal."
Feng Xiu's voice was not loud, but it carried tremendous authority!
The Lightning Demon God Pal understood at once.
"Everyone, hear my command! Attack!"
Rumble!
The moment his words fell, the entire Demon Clan army erupted in deafening shouts.
"Kill!!!"
"Kill!!!"
"Kill!!!"
The Demon Clan army charged into the rain, rushing toward the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's mountains like a tide!
The downpour seemed to herald a coming storm of bloodshed!
"Report! Misty Wind Mountain is under attack by strange creatures! We've suffered heavy losses and request reinforcements!"
"Report! Crane Mountain is under attack by strange creatures! We've suffered heavy losses and request reinforcements!"
"Report! Valley Mountain is under attack by strange creatures! We've suffered heavy losses and request reinforcements!"
The frantic cries of Soul Masters seeking help rang out constantly across the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's True Dragon Mountain. At intervals, signals requesting reinforcements arrived from the various mountains.
Inside a vast palace in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, an old man in blue robes wore an exceedingly grim expression. He struck the tea table beside him with his palm, smashing it to pieces.
"Bastards! Could it be those Demon Clan beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest? They've come after all! Quickly, request reinforcements from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"
He was Yu Yuanzhen, master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. His Soul Power was at level ninety-five, making him comparable to the Lightning Demon God Pal without the support of a Demon God Pillar.
Above the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, Feng Xiu's Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Emperor was also circling in the sky, emanating waves of pressure.
Every Beast Martial Soul Master in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was suppressed by that bloodline pressure, unable to move.
Apart from True Dragon Mountain, Crane Mountain, Valley Mountain, Soaring Mountain, Tyrant Mountain, Dou Mountain, Misty Wind Mountain, Purple Dot Mountain, and South King Mountain had all been occupied by the Demon Clan army.
