Star Mark Demonic God

It is three thousand miles away from Fengyu City.

A massive Demonic Beasts army numbering over a million is surging toward Wind and Rain City.

As far as the eye could see, the mountains and plains were filled with countless Demonic Beasts, their surging Demonic Beasts rising and falling like ocean tides, engulfing everything.

Because of this astonishing sight, when Demonic Beasts emerge in numbers exceeding one million, it is called a demon tide.

Wherever the demonic tide passes, nothing grows; almost no city can withstand a demonic tide alone.

After all, even in the Wind and Rain City with a population of 110 million, the number of Demon God Warriors is only 300,000.

This number is less than a third of the million-strong demon tide.

Even excluding the demon warriors, the city of Wind and Rain only has 800,000 troops.

In theory, without reinforcements from surrounding cities, the demonic tide formed by these Demonic Beasts could completely and utterly engulf Wind and Rain City.

At this moment, in the very center of the Demonic Beasts army, a huge creature resembling a Tyrannosaurus Rex was moving forward with the demonic tide.

This creature looks similar to a Tyrannosaurus Rex, but its body is actually covered in metallic substances. It has long arms and a pair of wings made entirely of metal components on its back, which look slender and sharp, as if they were made of thousands of sharp, feather-like weapons.

This form doesn't resemble a flesh-and-blood creature; rather, it looks like a steel behemoth from a science fiction world.

This colossal beast is none other than the Demon Emperor Dragon Cry, the leader of the Demonic Beasts responsible for the three major cities of Flowing Fire City, Purple Thunder City, and Wind and Rain City.

The Demon Emperor cultivates the second type of Demon Body. The four levels of the Demon Body—Entry, Minor Success, Major Success, and Perfection—represent the four stages of the Demon Emperor.

However, once they reach the Demon Emperor stage, they are no longer limited to flesh and blood; they begin to modify their physical bodies.

They cannot be as naturally endowed as mythical beasts, resonating with heaven and earth, and possessing Divine Ability.

However, through their own modifications, they have been able to unleash faster speeds, stronger attacks, and more robust defenses.

As for the demons and gods above that...

It no longer possesses the characteristics that life should have.

They are essentially using their spiritual power to activate a powerful weapon of war.

Of course, those who can do this are all top-tier high-level spirit lords. Since the demon god bodies they control no longer care about the concept of "life and death," they can be infinitely strengthened by accumulating matter and energy, thus becoming like true demon gods, capable of destroying mountains and rivers, and destroying cities and countries.

The transformation of the Dragon Cry Demon Emperor before us is still far from that of those demon gods who were born entirely for war and slaughter.

Beside the Dragon Cry Demon Emperor, a large number of Demonic Beasts were surrounding him.

Judging from the aura emanating from them, each one was no less powerful than the lords of the Chilong Territory.

Clearly, these are all Demon Emperors under the command of the Dragon Cry Demon Emperor.

"Buzz!"

At that moment, a streak of light flashed across the horizon, followed by a giant flying beast with lightning crackling around its body and a wingspan of less than ten meters, which descended from the sky and landed swiftly in front of the Dragon Cry Demon Emperor.

This avian behemoth was extremely small, but its body was also filled with a large amount of metal structure, and its wings were very similar to those of the Dragon Cry Demon Emperor, seemingly composed of thousands of sharp swords.

Its size was rather small compared to other Demonic Beasts, but its aura...

It is even more powerful than the Demon Emperor.

"Sword Feather".

The Dragon Cry Demon Emperor looked at the flying bird and asked, "What were the reactions of the other two cities?"

"My lord, my subordinates and I have just come from scouting in Purple Thunder City and Flowing Fire City, and there is no movement in either of these cities."

The demonic bird known as Sword Feather responded.

"Nothing's happening!?"

The Dragon Cry Demon Emperor paused slightly in his advance.

Then, it looked at Jianyu again and asked repeatedly, "Is there any movement?"

"My Sword Eagle squad once entered the skies above the human cities of Blazing Fire City and Purple Thunder City. These human cities made defensive preparations, but did not send any reinforcements to Wind and Rain City."

Jian Yu said, "Wind and Rain City is gathering its forces, seemingly planning to wage a decisive battle against us with the strength of the entire city."

"It seems those humans were telling the truth; they've started fighting amongst themselves again."

The Dragon Cry Demon Emperor's eyes were filled with mockery, "No wonder that even with the resources left behind by those monsters, they still suffered defeat after defeat in their battles with us. Indeed, the great Cangming Devil Master was right. It would be better to destroy this world as soon as possible. It's better to let us benefit than to let those monsters get away with it."

"Buzz!"

At that moment, the spiritual energy emanating from a demon king located on the periphery began to rise steadily.

In an instant, it seemed as if the strength of the demon spirit was about to be upgraded from the level of a disaster-level Demonic Spirit to the level of a spirit lord.

"Spirit summoning!?"

The Dragon Cry Demon Emperor's expression changed, and he quickly realized what it was. "It's Star Mark Spirit Venerable!"

Star Mark Spirit Lord, one of the ten strongest Spirit Lords under the great Cangming Devil Master, has reached the peak of his spiritual accumulation.

If it weren't for the fact that it was currently in a critical period of fighting against the Immortal Kingdom, it could simply return to the Demon Realm, transform back into its Spirit Lord form, and with a high degree of confidence, it could use the spiritual energy it had accumulated over the years from conquering the Holy Domain to transform into a new Devil Master in one fell swoop.

And Star Mark Spirit Lord...

They were also leaders of many spiritual lords on the periphery of the Holy Dynasty.

It controls a demon god's body that has been enhanced to the extreme.

A powerful spiritual force seemed to emanate from the rift in the Demon Realm...

Or perhaps it was driven by special means deep within the Demon Realm, descending upon the demon king who served as its vessel through the shattered gaps in the spirit realm.

In the dim light, the crowd seemed to see a majestic and terrifying figure.

If a martial saint who has embarked on the path to immortality were here to observe carefully, they would discover this figure...

It bears a striking resemblance to the "Primordial Magnetic Demon God" they contemplate.

The phantom flickered for a moment before completely merging into the demon king's body.

The demon king's cultivation level also rose steadily, and his demonic body soon approached perfection, reaching the point where he could nurture a second demonic body and advance to the level of demon emperor.

"Dragon's Cry".

The demon king spoke in a deep voice.

It did not open its mouth and made no sound.

However, through spiritual power, using a special language, or rather a form of communication, all the Demon Emperors whose spiritual strength had ever reached the level of Spirit Venerable could hear it clearly.

"Star Mark Venerable".

The Dragon Cry Demon Emperor slightly lowered his head, reducing his height.

"I remember saying that this is a critical time in our war with the Immortal Kingdom, and we should not start a war with humans like the Holy Dynasty. Now that you have led your troops to attack, I need you to give me a reasonable explanation."

Star Mark Spirit Venerable said.

"Your Excellency, I made an application to you, but at that time you seemed to be in the 'Tower of Immortality' and did not respond. Moreover, this time, it is not us who are provoking the Holy Dynasty, but the humans of the Holy Dynasty who are provoking us."

The Dragon Cry Demon Emperor lowered his head and said, "They destroyed one of our outer territories and killed three Spirit Venerables, one of whom still has the potential to enter the Tower of Immortality."

As it spoke, it swiftly conveyed the tragic state of the Chilong Territory to Star Mark Spirit Lord through spiritual communication.

After a long while, Star Mark Spirit Venerable finally responded, "A new force has intervened in the Immortal Kingdom, and the situation has changed. His Majesty Cangming has been forced to issue a conscription order. You should realize that the situation there is dire. In order to protect the Blood Abyss and allow it to expand again until His Majesty can descend and end the war, we are preparing to issue a second conscription order and release a new batch of slots from the Tower of Immortality."

"The Tower of Immortality will release a new batch of slots!?"

A desire immediately welled up in the eyes of the Dragon Cry Demon Emperor.

Under normal circumstances, only high-level spirit lords have a chance to enter the Tower of Immortality. Even though they have absorbed a lot of spiritual energy in this perfected world of the spirit realm over the years, and the Tower of Immortality has been expanded more than once, creating a large number of additional places, such places are still beyond the reach of a mid-level spirit lord like him.

But right now...

"Long Qi, I have high hopes for you and have already submitted your name to the preliminary selection list. The prerequisite for you to pass the preliminary selection is that your human race must not be in chaos for the next three years."

Star Mark Spirit Venerable said.

"I see."

The Dragon Cry Demon Emperor nodded solemnly, "However, now that we have already mobilized a large force to fight our way out of Dragon Cry Valley, if we were to retreat in such a disgraceful manner... it would probably make people underestimate us and give rise to more inappropriate thoughts."

"Then, force humanity to take matters into their own hands and kill their leader."

Star Mark Spirit Venerable said.

The Dragon Cry Demon Emperor was taken aback, but quickly realized. "Does Your Excellency mean that by threatening to sweep through Flowing Fire City and Purple Thunder City, you will force the people of Flowing Fire City and Purple Thunder City to deal with the leaders among the humans in Wind and Rain City? In this way, we can both demonstrate our prestige and ensure that we do not start a full-scale war with the Holy Dynasty's human race?"

"Good."

Star Mark Spirit Venerable said, "When necessary, you can directly use my name to force the human rulers of the Holy Dynasty to bow down."

After saying this, the spiritual fluctuations of this being, who had already reached the top among the Spirit Venerables and was even regarded as a Venerable by other Spirit Venerables, began to gradually dissipate. "Remember, everything is for the battlefield of Blood Swamp Demon Abyss to come first."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

The Dragon Cry Demon Emperor respectfully responded.

Soon, the spiritual energy fluctuations that Star Mark Spirit Venerable had been emanating from the demon king dissipated.

They have clearly already left the scene.

The Dragon Cry Demon Emperor also turned his gaze to Jian Yu: "Send a message to Liu Huo City, Zi Lei City, and Hai Feng City, the inner ring city connecting these three cities, and make them give an explanation for destroying Chi Long Territory and killing my Spirit Venerable. Otherwise, the scope of the demonic tide will not only be Feng Yu City, but also Liu Huo City, Zi Lei City, and later Hai Feng City. They will all be devastated by the demonic tide. When necessary, the great Star Mark Demon God will personally descend."

With that, he said emphatically, "I'm only giving them one day! One day, and I want results!"

"Star-Scarred Demon God!"

Jian Yu chanted the name with a hint of fanaticism, then solemnly replied, "Yes!"

It spread its wings and took off, cutting through the sky at supersonic speed and disappearing into the distance.

After Jian Yu left, the Dragon Cry Demon Emperor turned his gaze to the Demon Emperor beside him, "Slow down the advance of the demon tide, at least give those humans some time to react."

As his command was relayed, the surge of demonic energy quickly slowed down.

Forcing humans to kill their own kind is the most ingenious tactic.

Moreover, the Star-Scarred Demon God was supporting him from behind, suppressing him with the power of a demon god...

There's no need to worry about these humans not bowing down.

This is a perfectly legitimate and aboveboard strategy.
