The Price of Bringing the Myriad Monster Kingdom into the War

The Great Earth Kui Niu is an Ancient Times mythical beast that stands tall and upright, naturally able to draw upon the Earth Divine Power to empower itself. Therefore, the Great Earth Kui Niu has been a synonym for brute force since Ancient Times.

However, today in this Heavenly Demon Hall, the Great Earth Kui Niu, comparable to Great Accomplishment Stage Realm cultivator, was actually defeated by Zhuge Xiang, a human Cultivator, in a head-on clash of strength.

"So strong! You actually possess such powerful physical strength?" Niu Kui, holding a pair of Ox-Horn Saber, stared wide-eyed at Zhuge Xiang and said, deeply shocked by Zhuge Xiang's incomparably powerful strength. This was the first time since it had entered the Six-Star Demon Monster level that it had lost to someone in terms of strength.

"Your strength is not bad either; you actually managed to make me retreat," Zhuge Xiang, also looking at Niu Kui with amazement. As expected of a gifted Demonic Creatures from the Heavenly Demon Hall, his strength was so formidable. This was the first time Zhuge Xiang had encountered someone with such strength since he had mastered the Great Strength Bull Demon Technique Fourth Layer.

"It seems his physical strength is much stronger than rumored," the Demon Monster in the Heavenly Demon Hall said, their eyes fixed on Zhuge Xiang. Seeing is believing, and this time, they had witnessed Zhuge Xiang's power firsthand.

"Your strength is indeed very strong, but so what?" Niu Kui, unwilling to be defeated by others in terms of strength, stomped his horns hard, almost shaking the entire Heavenly Demon Hall and even the Jue Ling Peak. A terrifying and powerful Earth Divine Power poured into his body from his feet. Relying on the power of his Innate Divine Ability, Niu Kui's strength became even stronger.

"Take this! Earth's Wrath!" A pair of swords were raised once more, slashing down at Zhuge Xiang with the Force Splitting Mount Hua. The strike was devoid of any fancy moves; although they were swords, the attack was entirely based on overwhelming force.

"Even stronger..." Judging from the aura alone, Zhuge Xiang knew that the opponent's attack was stronger. His expression hardened, and he tightened his Sea Calming Divine Needle on the Ruyi Jingu Bang. He also raised it, transforming it into a surging force, and smashed it towards Niu Kui. "I don't have time to play around with you here. Get out of my way! Heaven and Heaven Collapsing Earth Shattering!"

The Heaven Collapsing Earth Shattering, the attack was tripled, and it was the supreme-grade Sea Calming Divine Needle — Zhuge Xiang's strike had already surpassed a million attack power. The Sea Calming Divine Needle collided once again with the pair of great slashing blades...

Boom!

A loud explosion shook the entire Jue Ling Peak. Although Niu Kui's attack had become stronger after absorbing the Earth Divine Power, Zhuge Xiang's attack far surpassed it.

Upon impact, Zhuge Xiang remained steadfast, like a deeply rooted tree, while Niu Kui was sent Knockback by Zhuge Xiang, landing on the ground severely injured and coughing up blood, with almost half of his bones shattered.

"So... so powerful... This is the strongest attack I've faced in over a thousand years of cultivation," Niu Kui struggled several times but couldn't get up. Finally, he lay on the ground, his eyes filled with terror as he looked at Zhuge Xiang.

Although he was slightly at a disadvantage in the previous attacks, Niu Kui was still confident in counterattacking. However, that Heaven Collapsing Earth Shattering blow just now gave people a feeling that it was impossible to resist.

Silence! The Heavenly Demon Hall fell into a silence so profound that you could almost hear a pin drop. The Demon Monster present were well aware of Niu Kui's power, yet after unleashing his innate divine Innate Divine Ability of the Earth Divine Power, he was actually sent flying by Zhuge Xiang's staff, rendered powerless to fight again. Zhuge Xiang's formidable strength deeply shocked the Demon Monster of the Heavenly Demon Hall. Even though they knew Zhuge Xiang was powerful, they never imagined he would be this terrifyingly inhuman.

"Ding! You have defeated the Six-Star Elite level Demon Monster Niu Kui, gaining 7.2 million Experience Points and obtaining the 'Great Five Elements Sword Formation'."

"I wonder if I can prove my qualifications now?" With a single blow, Zhuge Xiang sent Niu Kui flying, and then looked around at the assembled Demon Monster.

Defeating Niu Kui would yield Experience Points, as expected. However, the fact that a Skill Book also dropped was somewhat unexpected for Zhuge Xiang. But now is not the time to study the Great Five Elements Sword Formation.

The Demon Monster of the Heavenly Demon Hall looked at each other in disbelief. Zhuge Xiang's strength, which allowed him to defeat Niu Kui with sheer force, was indeed beyond Demon Monster expectations. It seemed that Zhuge Xiang's strength was almost on par with that of the Demon Queen and Luo Ba. With such strength, he was indeed qualified to speak on behalf of the Asura Sect.

Snap snap snap...

As Zhuge Xiang finished speaking, the Demon Monster of the Heavenly Demon Hall did not reply. The Demon Queen, seated on her Imperial Throne, extended her fair, jade-like hand and gently clapped it. Her eyes were fixed on Zhuge Xiang, filled with deep admiration, as she said, "Even though I reside in this Myriad Monster Kingdom, I have long heard of you, Zhuge Xiang. Seeing you today, it is indeed true to your reputation. It seems your Asura Sect truly has worthy successors."

"Thank you for your Demon Queen. Now, shall we begin to get down to business?" Seeing that he had gained the Demon Queen's approval, Zhuge Xiang put away the Sea Calming Divine Needle and spoke.

"Indeed, what business does your Asura Sect have with my Myriad Monster Kingdom? Now you can speak," the Demon Queen nodded, acknowledging Zhuge Xiang's qualifications, Demon Queen and asking questions.

"This guy's strength is indeed getting stronger and stronger," Niu Kui Lu Yuling to herself as she watched Zhuge Xiang send Niu Kui flying with a single blow, rendering him unable to fight. Standing beside the Demon Queen, Lu Yuling Kui was.

"However, my strength won't be too far behind yours, in terms of Heart Fighting Technique and my Innate Divine Ability..." While marveling at Zhuge Xiang's strength, Lu Yuling lowered her head slightly and looked at her palm.

A chilling aura emanated from between her palms. Although her cultivation was only at the Dharma Aspect Realm, she possessed the Heart Fighting Technique of the Founding Ancestor of the Asura Sect, as well as the Innate Divine Ability she had awakened at the Demon Monster level. Lu Yuling believed that her strength was by no means much inferior to Zhuge Xiang's.

In her heart, she compared her own strength with Zhuge Xiang's. But soon, Lu Yuling's attention was drawn to Zhuge Xiang's words. Or rather, all the Demon Monster in the Heavenly Demon Hall were completely shocked by what Zhuge Xiang said.

"Asura Sect, Yin Yang Demonic Sect, East Sea Dragon Palace, God of Slaughter Bai Qi, Heavenly Dragon Heavenly Dragon Temple, and your Myriad Monster Kingdom, my purpose in coming here today is to discuss how our forces can unite to overthrow the Great Qin Empire and the rule of the Ying Clan..." Zhuge Xiang's words echoed in the Heavenly Demon Hall. They weren't particularly grand, just a simple statement, but these words caused the Demon Monster in the Heavenly Demon Hall to change color in horror, clearly deeply shocked by them.

"God of Slaughter Bai Qi? He's actually still alive?" Zhuge Xiang's words caused a flash of surprise to cross the Demon Queen's pretty face, but she quickly regained her dignified and elegant demeanor and asked. The name of God of Slaughter Bai Qi, was still very famous, even though he was a person from thousands of years ago.

"That's right. He has been in the Hundred Emperors Tomb, suppressing the obsessions of those Six Nations. He has recently emerged from the Hundred Emperors Tomb." Nodding, it was only natural that the Demon Queen would take notice of the existence of the God of Slaughter Bai Qi.

"I see. Let me think about it. The Asura Sect, the Heavenly Dragon Temple, the Yin Yang Demonic Sect, and my Myriad Monster Kingdom, most importantly, we have the East Sea Dragon Palace to help us. This lineup is really good. But is that all? Are there any others?" After listing the various forces that Zhuge Xiang mentioned, the Demon Queen continued to ask Zhuge Xiang.

"And there's the support of the Great Qin Empire, with more than a third of its army," Zhuge Xiang replied.

"Hiss..." Zhuge Xiang's words made the Demon Monster of the Heavenly Demon Hall gasp. They hadn't expected Zhuge Xiang's preparations to be so thorough, even managing to secure more than a third of the army's support. It seemed that this rebellion was inevitable.

"With your Asura Sect and Bai Qi, it's not surprising that you can gain more than a third of the support," the Demon Queen nodded, showing no doubt about Zhuge Xiang's words.

"I wonder what the Demon Queen has decided on this matter?" After laying everything out, Zhuge Xiang asked the Demon Queen, wanting to know her attitude.

"Actually, whether or not the Ying Clan's rule is overthrown has little impact on our Myriad Monster Kingdom. Even if it isn't overthrown, our Myriad Monster Kingdom can still stay here peacefully without worrying about being ostracized by humans," the Demon Queen replied calmly to Zhuge Xiang's question, maintaining her dignified and elegant demeanor.

The Demon Queen Ying Clan was not bad for the Myriad Monster Kingdom. In fact, the Ying Clan was afraid that Demon Monster would bring disaster to the human world, and to some extent, they had to keep their distance from the Myriad Monster Kingdom. Therefore, the Myriad Monster Kingdom did not have much motivation to overthrow the rule of the Ying Clan.

"So..." The Demon Queen, seated on her Imperial Throne, her starry eyes fixed on Zhuge Xiang, said, "If you want our Myriad Monster Kingdom to participate in the war, what kind of enticing benefits can you offer?"

"This..." Zhuge Xiang pondered. Indeed, to get the Myriad Monster Kingdom to join the war, he had to offer something that would tempt them. But what could possibly move the entire Myriad Monster Kingdom and get them to join the war? His Master and Big Brother hadn't told him what he could offer.

"Well? Fellow Daoist Zhuge, perhaps you haven't made a decision yet? It seems your sincerity is somewhat lacking," the Demon Queen said, her brows furrowing slightly as she watched Zhuge Xiang remain silent. "In that case, Fellow Daoist Zhuge, please return. Once you've made your decision, offer something to persuade us before you come back."

"Wait, I wonder if this might impress you?" Zhuge Xiang said, having heard the Demon Queen Zhuge Xiang's order to leave. He took something out of Void, waved it around, and spoke.

"This is..." Looking at the object in Zhuge Xiang's hand, the Demon Queen of the Myriad Monster Kingdom was moved and abruptly stood up. (To be continued...)
