The death of the Wind and Thunder Demon Race's ancestor filled them with boundless fury.
"Damn Human Race! If the Supremes could descend, you would have died tens of thousands of times already!"
"Exactly! Human Race, you've gone too far! Come and die!"
"Ah, lowly Human Race! I'll kill you!"
All kinds of voices rang out, reverberating through the Demon Realm.
"Human Race, our Wind and Thunder Demon Race will never rest until one of us is dead!"
"Is that so?"
Amid their furious roars, Aotian and Xiongba descended.
Their calm gazes rested on the members of the Wind and Thunder Demon Race.
Under everyone's shocked gazes, Aotian tore space apart and descended above the Wind and Thunder Demon Race, Sword Qi swirling around his entire body.
As for Xiongba, he went to the Green Mountain Demon Race's territory.
"Wind and Thunder Demon Race, you invaded the Human Race, killed our people, and bullied us as though the Human Race had no one to stand up for it. Do you want your entire race wiped out?"
As he spoke, his imperial might surged like the descent of an unrivaled Great Emperor. Buildings and houses shattered in an instant, and countless experts were pressed flat against the ground.
The bodies of those ancestors of the Wind and Thunder Demon Race, in particular, were already embedded in the soil.
"How is this possible? What on earth is happening?"
"Ah, I don't want to die! I don't want to die! Someone save us! Save us!"
"Damn Human Race! You two-legged sheep! Ancestors, quickly summon the imperial weapon!"
"Ancestor, I don't want to die! Hurry and summon the imperial weapon!"
Those with weaker cultivation naturally faced relatively less pressure.
Many demons were still standing.
Hearing the demons' cries, the three ancestors of the Wind and Thunder Demon Race forcibly reversed their bloodlines, broke free of the suppression, and roared, "Wind and Thunder Staff, come at once!"
As their icy voices rang out, a decaying coffin suddenly trembled in the deepest reaches of the Wind and Thunder Demon Race's forbidden grounds.
Then an icy voice rang out.
"Who dares invade our Wind and Thunder Demon Race? Are you tired of living?"
As the words fell, a Supreme's might rolled in like clouds, terrifying beyond measure.
"A mere Demon Venerable. Laughable, laughable."
"I am the Human Race's Mad Emperor, Aotian. If you object, come receive your death!"
Aotian was wildly arrogant and unrestrained, as though no one beneath heaven was worthy of his regard.
Sword Qi swept across his body, his imperial might vast and boundless.
"Hmph! A mere Quasi-Emperor! Our Wind and Thunder Demon Race is no place for you to run wild!"
As the words fell, a decaying coffin hurtled toward Aotian.
"You have some nerve! Who beneath heaven deserves the name Mad Emperor? Only I, Aotian!"
His voice fell and transformed into a terrifying streak of Sword Qi, instantly tearing the coffin apart.
A man wreathed in flashing lightning held a black iron staff and blocked Aotian's strike.
"Not bad, not bad. A mere late-stage Supreme, yet you can block my Sword Qi. You're quite good."
As Aotian spoke, he used his fingers as a sword and slashed. Imperial might surged across three thousand li, felt throughout the entire Demon Realm.
The terrifying imperial might awakened countless Demon Venerables.
Even Half-Step Demon Emperors awoke.
"What arrogant Sword Qi! Who exactly is attacking?"
"No, this isn't someone from our Demon Race. It seems to be a Human Race Quasi-Emperor."
Sensing it, the demons all headed toward the Wind and Thunder Demon Race.
The instant Aotian unleashed that slash, the Wind and Thunder Ancestor was stunned.
It was too powerful. If he hadn't been holding the Wind and Thunder Staff, he would have been ready to flee.
"Hahaha! Lowly Human Race, our Wind and Thunder Demon Race's strongest ancestor has emerged, wielding the imperial weapon, the Wind and Thunder Staff! No matter how strong you are, you'll fall today!"
"Exactly! Worthless human, how do you plan to die?"
"Two-legged sheep! Two-legged sheep!"
All kinds of roars rang out.
They were also incredibly excited, yet they seemed to have forgotten that imperial might still pinned them down, leaving them unable to move.
Even with only their mouths free to move, they hadn't forgotten to eat melons.
Clang!
The terrifying sword strike sent the Wind and Thunder Staff flying.
Even the Wind and Thunder Ancestor was injured by the impact, blood spilling from his mouth.
"Human Race, how can you be so strong? This isn't scientific! It's impossible!"
The Wind and Thunder Ancestor's disheveled hair whipped about. He truly couldn't believe things had turned out this way.
Aotian ignored him. His figure flashed, and he appeared before the Wind and Thunder Staff, grabbing it.
"You dream of stealing the Wind and Thunder Staff!"
The Wind and Thunder Ancestor's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly circulated his cultivation technique to reclaim the imperial weapon.
An imperial weapon was an imperial weapon, after all. Even with his overwhelmingly powerful cultivation, Aotian couldn't put it away while it resisted.
He let it escape.
"Wind and Thunder Demon Race, I'll give you a chance to live. Hand over all your spatial rings."
As his words fell, his figure flashed. With a point of his finger, a streak of Sword Qi shot out, severely injuring the Wind and Thunder Ancestor.
A late-stage Supreme had no ability to resist a Quasi-Emperor.
"I'll count to three. If you don't hand them over, your ancestor dies."
"One."
"Hurry, hurry! Give him your spatial rings!"
The Wind and Thunder Ancestor was alarmed. All his clansmen handed over their spatial rings, and Aotian smiled in satisfaction.
"Human Race, you've crossed the line. This is the Demon Realm, not a place for you to act so insolently."
As the icy voice fell, three Supremes and two Quasi-Emperors descended.
Their terrifying presence bore down upon heaven and earth.
Aotian simply stood there proudly, his hands clasped behind his back.
"Crossed the line? Your Demon Race invaded our Heavenly Spirit Continent, yet you talk about crossing the line? Do you really think I'm so accommodating, or do you take me for a good man?"
As Aotian spoke, his vast imperial might pressed down like a mountain.
The three Supremes' expressions changed drastically.
Not daring to be careless, they immediately assumed their true forms: a white fox, a unicorn, and a dragon horse.
Their powerful presences resisted the imperial might. Seeing this, the Wind and Thunder Ancestor also assumed his true form, a wind and thunder beast. Lightning crackled across his blue-green skin as he radiated world-destroying might.
"Our Demon Race invaded the Human Race because we thought highly of you. Do you really think you can still escape today?"
One of the Quasi-Emperors wore an utterly icy expression, and a flood dragon manifested behind him.
A Flood Dragon Sword also appeared in his hand, radiating black energy.
"Hahaha!"
"I've seen arrogance, but never anyone as arrogant as you. In that case, I'll kill you as an offering to heaven today."
As Aotian spoke, he fully unleashed the pressure of his late-stage Quasi-Emperor cultivation.
Frenzied Sword Qi swept in all directions, forming a hundred-meter-long sword that slashed down.
The five experts mustered their strongest defenses. The four Supremes' defenses broke instantly, and they were sent flying backward.
The Black Flood Dragon Quasi-Emperor was likewise sent flying.
"Damn it! You're actually a late-stage Quasi-Emperor! Human Race, do you truly intend to wage war against our Demon Race?"
As the words fell, Aotian vanished from where he stood.
When he reappeared, a cold iron sword had appeared in his hand. Imperial might emanated from it; it was clearly a Quasi-Emperor Weapon.
"No! Flood Dragon Sword, awaken!"
The Black Flood Dragon Quasi-Emperor's expression changed drastically. This slash was aimed at him, and even a fool would know he couldn't withstand a late-stage Quasi-Emperor wielding a Quasi-Emperor Weapon.
Left with no choice, he could only drive the Flood Dragon Sword with all his strength. Although it was a Quasi-Emperor Weapon, he hadn't fully refined it and couldn't control it completely. Now he could only awaken it with all his might.
"Black Emperor, why haven't you made your move yet?"
The Flood Dragon Quasi-Emperor looked toward the Black Emperor behind him and roared.
"Flood Dragon, you're truly useless. You can't even take down a mere Human Race."
The two Half-Step Demon Emperors attacked. Their terrifying pressure shattered mountains and rivers and overturned heaven and earth, horrifying to the extreme.
