As for the North Sea Demon Race, every one of them wore a grim expression and was cursing under their breath.
They had only planned to put on a show out of respect for the Exposition Sect. How had this turned into a conflict between races?
If the Human Race's powerful experts heard the news and came in force to the North Sea to slay demons, what would they do?
Meanwhile, beneath the gaze of countless onlookers, two figures, one large and one small, were heading toward the North Sea.
Just two people, facing thousands of North Sea demons. What were they planning to do?
The army had not set out, yet two figures, one large and one small, strode toward the North Sea with firm steps.
In the North Sea, thousands of demons loomed like gods and fiends, every one of them enormous.
Compared with these demons in the North Sea, the two people of the Human Race were as tiny as ants.
Were those two tiny ants heading into the North Sea to fight thousands of demons?
However you looked at it, they were overestimating themselves. The gap was simply too great, in both numbers and size.
But at that moment, the Great Shang army erupted in cheers, and everyone's eyes converged on the two figures.
The demons were terrifying. Their enormous size alone was enough to make people shrink back in fear.
But to Great Shang's soldiers, the demons were not so terrifying with those two figures standing before them.
They would never forget that it was the person up ahead—their king—who had beaten a Giant Serpent to death in the North Sea.
And that three-year-old child, reportedly the King's disciple, had also been born with divine strength and beaten an Evil Jiaolong to death.
The King had been born with divine strength and possessed peerless might. Though his disciple was only a three-year-old child, he was just as powerful.
With a King like that, they had nothing to fear. Even against the demons, it was certain to be their Great Shang King who emerged victorious.
Still, there were rather a lot of demons in the North Sea this time. Could the King really defeat them?
"Hmph! King Zhou really is overestimating himself. Does he think that being born with divine strength makes him invincible?" Jù Liúsūn said disdainfully.
King Zhou had indeed used his innate strength to slay an Earth Immortal-level demon, but that had been a one-on-one fight.
Now, in the North Sea, there were dozens of demons at the Earth Immortal level alone.
He could kill one Earth Immortal-level demon, but did that mean he could kill dozens?
"No matter how strong his body is, without mastery of the Dao, it's all for nothing. This is the perfect chance to make King Zhou lose face!" Guang Chengzi said.
King Zhou had made these Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect lose face, so naturally they wanted nothing more than to teach him a lesson.
This was the perfect opportunity. King Zhou had overestimated himself and dared to enter the North Sea alone.
After his crushing defeat, King Zhou would lose all his prestige and probably have no choice but to return to court in disgrace.
That way, they could not only vent their anger, but also ensure their many schemes in the North Sea would remain unaffected.
In the depths of the North Sea, the Jiao Demon King and the mysterious, black-robed figure were also watching the shore.
"So this is King Zhou? Such arrogance! The Twelve Golden Immortals of Chanjiao truly live up to their reputation!" the Black-Robed Figure said.
The King of Great Shang was the current Human Sovereign, but he was still only a mortal. Why should the Black-Robed Figure take him seriously?
Besides, the King Zhou he saw before him was clearly an arrogant, reckless fool. What was so special about him?
And yet this mere mortal had made the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chanjiao return in disgrace?
It seemed the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chanjiao were just as the rumors claimed: a bunch of useless bigshots who thought far too highly of themselves!
"He's the Human Sovereign, after all. He won't actually die," the Jiao Demon King said disdainfully.
If not for his status as the current Human Sovereign, the Jiao Demon King would not have spared such an arrogant fool a second glance.
But because he was the Human Sovereign, he was protected by Human Path Luck. The Yao Race could never kill him.
It did not matter if they could not kill him. Making King Zhou return in disgrace would count as an answer to the Exposition Sect. That would be enough.
"Master, why don't you stay here and watch while I go kill all these demons?" Nezha said.
The tiny three-year-old child still spoke in a babyish voice, yet his words were so brazen and arrogant.
He had been excited for ages after his master agreed to let him fight. Who could have guessed that his master would also join in?
At this very moment, everyone's eyes were on them!
Everyone's attention ought to be focused on him, watching him display his might and slaughter demons as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.
But with his master there, how could he possibly get the chance to show off? There were a lot of demons, but they were nowhere near enough to kill.
"These are just the appetizers. There are real demon experts in the North Sea," Zi Shou said with a smile.
Demons at the Earth Immortal level were comparable to Great Emperors. Nezha was still a little short of being able to stand against dozens of them at once.
He had already made such a bold declaration. He would not only win this battle, but win it in style.
By leading the charge and entering the North Sea alone, he would defeat thousands of demons and stabilize the situation there.
The demons in the North Sea had no idea who these two people were. They did not even know what a Human Sovereign was.
In the demons' eyes, all they saw were two ants among the Human Race, charging toward the North Sea.
What were they trying to do? Had they grown tired of living? Were they coming here to die?
The demons at the Earth Immortal level could not even be bothered to act. Instead, many Sea Beasts, still lacking intelligence, roared and opened their gaping maws.
Even the smallest mosquito was meat. The Sea Beasts had clearly taken the two people of the Human Race before them for a snack.
But in the next instant, the scene they had imagined did not come to pass. Instead, a torrential rain poured down.
But this was no ordinary rain. It was a rain of blood, and the enormous Sea Beasts had been torn in two.
After entering the North Sea, the two people of the Human Race kept walking forward, neither quickly nor slowly, leaving a trail of blood and carnage in their wake.
The enormous Sea Beasts were either pierced through by a single punch or torn in two.
By the time the North Sea demons reacted, it was not only the Sea Beasts that had died. Real demons had fallen as well.
The demons below the Earth Immortal level were like lambs waiting for slaughter before the two people of the Human Race.
It was no exaggeration to say they fell one to a punch. So far, not a single demon had survived one of their punches.
The three-year-old child in particular looked like a cute little doll, but his attacks were unbelievably brutal.
Not a single demon struck by the child had been left in one piece. Every one of them had lost an arm or a leg.
It was a massacre! Without a doubt, it was a one-sided slaughter. The two people of the Human Race whom they had regarded as ants were actually this terrifying.
The experts among the North Sea demons quickly reacted, and several demons at the Earth Immortal level attacked at once.
But in the next instant, an unbelievable scene unfolded. The three-year-old child raised his hand and threw a punch, driving several Earth Immortal-level demons back.
And that was not all. The other person threw a punch as well, and several Earth Immortal-level demons never got back up.
The slaughter continued. Even when dozens of Earth Immortal-level demons joined the fight, nothing changed.
"King Zhou's body is this powerful? Is it on par with a True Immortal's?"
The Twelve Golden Immortals of Chanjiao were all dumbstruck. They had known that King Zhou had a powerful body and was born with divine strength.
But there had to be a limit! A body comparable to an Earth Immortal was already outrageous. Could it really be even stronger?
Even the direct descendants of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors did not have bodies this absurdly powerful!
Could he have Wu Clan blood? Otherwise, how could his body be so powerful?
They had originally hoped to make King Zhou return in disgrace, but with this one-sided slaughter, weren't they just making him even more arrogant?
"So this is King Zhou? That body of his—is it something he was born with?"
The Jiao Demon King's eyes bulged. His voice made it clear just how astonished he was.
Among Cultivators, there were quite a few with powerful bodies. The Yao Race, for instance, had strong bodies.
But few devoted themselves solely to physical cultivation. Most focused on cultivating the Dao, with physical cultivation as a secondary pursuit.
Those born with powerful bodies and innate divine strength, however, were extraordinarily rare. One could even say such cases were unheard of.
"The Wu Clan of old were born with bodies that powerful, but King Zhou is of the Human Race!" the Black-Robed Figure said gravely.
In ancient times, the Wu Clan had ruled the earth. Every member of the Wu Clan was born with an immensely powerful body, without needing to cultivate at all.
King Zhou's body was strong, but it still fell far short of the Wu Clan of old.
"What should we do now? Should we step in?" the Jiao Demon King asked.
The battle on the North Sea shore had become a one-sided slaughter. If they did not step in, those demons would soon be wiped out.
The Black-Robed Figure fell silent. He, too, was weighing whether or not they should act.
He was, in truth, somewhat surprised by the slaughter taking place on the North Sea shore.
At last, he understood why that King Zhou had made the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chanjiao return in disgrace and lose face.
It was not because King Zhou's body was powerful or because he was born with divine strength. That was nothing special.
