The Demon Queen

The Heavenly Demon Hall Heavenly Demon Hall is the sacred hall of the Myriad Heavenly Demon Hall Myriad Monster Kingdom. Those residing within it are the strongest beings in the Myriad Monster Kingdom. Legend has it that the Myriad Monster Kingdom boasts over five hundred Demon Monster- level beings. Compared to the Void Realm with only a hundred Large Sect cultivators, this power is comparable to four or five Large Sect. Moreover, the Myriad Monster Kingdom is home to many Ancient Times beasts, each possessing extraordinary Innate Divine Ability.

The territory of the Myriad Monster Kingdom, Taiyi Commandery, can be said to be teeming with demons, while the Heavenly Demon Hall is located in the northernmost part of Taiyi Commandery, towering atop the Frost Mountain Range that stretches for thousands of miles.

"The highest peak of the Frost Mountain Range is the 18,000-zhang-high Jue Ling Peak, where the Heavenly Demon Hall is located. Even Demon Monster from the Myriad Monster Kingdom may not be qualified to enter the Heavenly Demon Hall," Lu Yuling said as she and Zhuge Xiang Lu Yuling together, introducing the Myriad Monster Kingdom to Zhuge Xiang.

The Frost Mountain Range stretch for thousands of miles. Although Lu Yuling tried her best to remain calm, Zhuge Xiang could still sense her emotional fluctuations. The Frost Mountain Range, with their year-round snow, were incredibly familiar and dear to Lu Yuling. Arriving in the Frost Mountain Range, Lu Yuling felt a sense of trepidation, as if she were returning home.

"Humans? This is not a place for you to set foot in. Leave quickly..." However, not long after Zhuge Xiang and Lu Yuling entered the Frost Mountain Range, a huge shadow suddenly appeared. A giant peacock flew down from the sky and transformed into a handsome man in front of Zhuge Xiang. His face was arrogant, and he exuded a powerful Demonic Qi. He had clearly reached the level of Five-star Demon, comparable to Cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Realm.

The Demon Monster that appeared focused its gaze on Zhuge Xiang, locking onto him directly. Clearly, this Five-Star Demon Monster could see that Lu Yuling was Demon Cultivator, and it could also see that Zhuge Xiang was just a human. Peacocks are inherently proud beings, and naturally they had the right to be proud when facing Zhuge Xiang, who only had the cultivation of the eighth level of the Spirit Severing Realm.

"I am an elder of the Asura Sect. I have come here today to discuss important matters with the Demon Queen of the Myriad Monster Kingdom. I hope you can help me convey this message," Zhuge Xiang said, neither humble nor arrogant, as he looked at the peacock blocking his way.

"The Asura Sect?" Looking at Zhuge Xiang, the peacock's brows furrowed slightly, and his long, narrow eyes suddenly flashed with a dense and chilling killing intent. He said, "You say you're Asura Sect Disciple? Then our Myriad Monster Kingdom has nothing to talk to you about. I advise you to get lost. In our Myriad Monster Kingdom, no one welcomes a coward from the Asura Sect."

"Fellow Daoist, I advise you not to generalize," Zhuge Xiang frowned, his dissatisfaction undisguised. He could stop him, but he could not accept being criticized by the Asura Sect and being called a Zhuge Xiang by the Asura Sect Cultivator.

"Are you mere humans trying to run wild in my Myriad Monster Kingdom? Am I wrong? Back then, the Holy Maiden of my Myriad Monster Kingdom studied under your Asura Sect, but was suppressed by the Imperial Clan and imprisoned in the East Sea. She hasn't been able to break free of the seal for over ten years, and she couldn't even protect her own disciples. What are you people from the Asura Sect if not cowards?"

The peacock-like man grew increasingly angry as he spoke. Finally, he stretched out his hand, transforming it into a bird's claw, and reached out to grab Zhuge Xiang. The faint cry of a peacock could be heard, "Mere human, so persistent! Since you refuse to leave, then you won't leave today..."

Five-Star Demon Monster is quite powerful. This claw strike felt like it was tearing through the Void. The appearance of humans in the Myriad Monster Kingdom is like the appearance of Demon Monster in a human Sect; both would arouse hostility.

"Want to make a move? In that case, I won't hold back..." Although Zhuge Xiang came to the Myriad Monster Kingdom to ask for their help, it didn't mean Zhuge Xiang would hold back or remain silent.

Furthermore, in the Cultivation World, the strong are respected, and the best way to gain respect from others is to demonstrate one's strength.

Seeing the peacock's outstretched claws, Zhuge Xiang's eyes narrowed. He raised his finger and pinched the claws. With his physique at the Great Strength Bull Demon Technique Fourth Layer Zhuge Xiang, once he pinched the claws, he believed that no matter what, the peacock would not be able to pull back, and its life and death would be in his own hands.

"Wait..." But at that moment, Lu Yuling suddenly intervened, her fair palm radiating a chilling aura, blocking Zhuge Xiang 'Zhuge Xiang outstretched hand.

"Hmm?" Zhuge Xiang raised an eyebrow slightly as his hand was blocked by Lu Yuling's palm. He withdrew his hand, which was injured and covered with a layer of Ice Shards. He shook his hand to break the Ice Shards. Zhuge Xiang was secretly surprised.

Even his own body, at the Great Strength Bull Demon Technique Fourth Layer, could be frozen into Ice Shards. Despite his cultivation level being only at the Dharma Aspect Realm, Lu Yuling's strength was truly formidable.

"Uncle Kong Kong, it's been a long time," Lu Yuling said with a smile after stopping Zhuge Xiang's hand. As she spoke, Phantom Image of Ice Lotus Flower standing proudly behind her appeared out of thin air, noble, aloof, and proud...

"You... you are..." Looking at the Phantom Image of the peerless Ice Lotus behind Lu Yuling, the peacock that appeared widened its eyes, as if it had seen something unbelievable, and then exclaimed in surprise, "Ice Maiden Saintess? You actually broke through the seal and came out?"

"Indeed, with the help of a friend, I have already broken free from the seal. I am returning to the Myriad Monster Kingdom because of important matters that I need to discuss with my mother," Ice Maiden replied with a nod, also informing the other party that she and Zhuge Xiang were friends.

"Now that the Ice Maiden Saintess has returned, the Myriad Monster Kingdom naturally welcomes her. Please accompany me to the Heavenly Demon Hall, I believe Your Majesty Demon Queen the Demon Queen will be very pleased." After confirming that Lu Yuling was indeed the Ice Maiden, the peacock Demon Monster's reaction underwent a complete 180-degree turn, and he joyfully and respectfully greeted Zhuge Xiang and Lu Yuling as they advanced.

However, regarding the way Lu Yuling addressed him, the peacock Demon Monster said, "But Your Highness, could you please change the way you address me as 'Uncle'? Someone as young as me should call me 'Big Brother'."

"Big Brother? You're more like my uncle," Lu Yuling said, showing no respect whatsoever to the peacock's opinion.

"As expected of the Ice Maiden Saintess, her stubborn personality hasn't changed..." Although his opinion was rejected, the man in the form of a peacock said with nostalgia and emotion. It seemed that when the Ice Maiden was still around, she had argued with him quite a bit about this title.

Five-Star Demon Monster, comparable to Cultivator at the Tribulation Crossing Realm, is believed to be a powerful being even in the Myriad Monster Kingdom. With him leading the way, they encountered many Demon Cultivator along the way, but were no longer hindered. Under the watchful eyes of many Demonic Creatures, Zhuge Xiang followed Kong Kong's peacock Demon Monster to the Heavenly Demon Hall.

The Heavenly Demon Hall, situated atop a Jue Ling Peak, is so cold it could freeze a person solid. To the Heavenly Demon Hall, one must traverse the terrifying Gale Force, something only powerful Cultivator can accomplish. Otherwise, even ordinary Void Returning Stage Cultivator and Demon Monster would struggle to cross Gale Force. This demonstrates that even ordinary Demon Monster might not be qualified to ascend to the Heavenly Demon Hall, a claim that is not unfounded.

The Heavenly Demon Hall is an enormous Palace. In front of the Heavenly Demon Hall's gate is a huge plaza about Hundred Zhang in diameter, with the ground paved entirely with the finest spirit jade. In the very center of this plaza stands a huge sculpture, several tens of feet tall, which is an enormous raven. However, this raven has three legs and its body is engulfed in raging Flame.

"Three-legged Golden Crow?" Zhuge Xiang was slightly taken aback when he saw the giant crow sculpture in the Heavenly Demon Hall. Then a smile appeared on his face. No wonder, in the Demon Race, the Three-legged Golden Crow has a supreme status. It is only natural that there is a sculpture of Three-legged Golden Crow in front of the Heavenly Demon Hall.

According to legend, the first king of the Demon Race in Ancient Times was Eastern Emperor Taiyi. His true form was Three-legged Golden Crow born from the Sun Star. Therefore, the Three-legged Golden Crow held a supreme position in the hearts of the demon Demon Race. Even the Dragon Clan, Phoenix, and even the likes of Black Tortoise, Qilin, Kunpeng could not compare to its status in the hearts of the Demon Race.

Of course, the fact that this Three-legged Golden Crow sculpture could attract Zhuge Xiang's attention meant that it couldn't be just a simple sculpture. Rather, Zhuge Xiang could clearly sense that this Three-legged Golden Crow was unusual. It seemed that the sculpture had a life force, but it was not a living thing; it was just an inanimate object.

"Fellow Daoist Zhuge, please come in. Her Demon Queen Zhuge Xiang Your Majesty you," Kong Kong, who had entered the Heavenly Demon Hall, said to Zhuge Xiang as he was examining the Three-legged Golden Crow.

Although he still didn't treat Zhuge Xiang, who was in human form, with a friendly attitude, at least out of respect for Lu Yuling, he wouldn't speak coldly to him anymore.

"Demon Queen, ruler of the Myriad Monster Kingdom..." Upon hearing this, Zhuge Xiang withdrew his attention from the Three-legged Golden Crow sculpture, took a deep breath, and walked towards the Heavenly Demon Hall.

The ruler of billions of Demon Race, the Demon Queen of the mighty Myriad Monster Kingdom —what does she look like, and what level of cultivation has she reached? Zhuge Xiang was truly curious.

Upon entering the Heavenly Demon Hall, one is immediately struck by the Demon Queen of the Myriad Monster Kingdom seated high on her Imperial Throne, clad in a Purple-Gold robe. On either side of the Imperial Throne stand dozens of powerful Demon Monster.

These Demon Monster, however, all revealed their true forms; they were all noble Demon Race, and Demon Race were all sizing up Zhuge Xiang. (To be continued...)
