Chapter 341: A Small Accident
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The appearance of this sudden phenomenon caused the entire Sacred Demon Realm to fall into silence.
Whether it was the demons who had just awakened their intelligence or the Demon Lords who suppressed an area, they all looked at the sky in shock and almost could not believe their eyes.
The heavens wept blood, and a Demon Lord died!
When was the last time such a phenomenon appeared? 100,000 years ago, 200,000 years ago, or was it 300,000 years ago? Perhaps it was so long ago that it was impossible to investigate?
This was a Demon Lord!
After cultivating intrinsic divine power to a level close to the true laws, one could directly affect the laws of the Great Dao. A Demon Lord was a great existence that was comparable to the Dao Master of the human race.
He suddenly died just like that?!
How could such a thing happen?!
This was too ridiculous!
To most of the living beings in the Sacred Demon Realm, Demon Lords were synonymous with omnipotence.
They could create things out of thin air and create living beings. The existence of a single Demon Lord was equivalent to the existence of a clan. Their lifespan was extremely long.
However, this phenomenon of death was information that was deeply imprinted in the souls of all the demons. Even the most basic demons knew very well what this meant.
As long as a phenomenon of death appeared, a Demon Lord would definitely die.
There was no doubt about that.
Hence, after the initial shock, the Sacred Demon Heaven fell into endless fear. It lost order and became chaotic.
Especially the eight Demon Lords.
Just now, they had exchanged glances with that gaze.
At that time, they had a feeling that if they looked any longer, they would die on the spot.
However, feelings were just feelings after all. Under extreme shock and fear, certain senses could be magnified.
No matter what, no one expected that a Demon Lord had really been “stared” to death!
Moreover, the one who died was Demon Lord White Phoenix, who was famous for his mysterious abilities. This made them even more horrified.
Demon Lord White Phoenix’s overall strength could be ranked in the top three among the Nine Demon Lords, and his ability to protect his life was top-notch among his peers. Now, he was actually “stared” to death.
What was even more ridiculous was that this gaze had come from another world. It came through the World Piercing Golden Light opened by Demon Lord White Phoenix. After crossing such a large distance, it must have been weakened.
Yet, it actually had such terrifying power.
It was simply unbelievable.
What kind of existence could have such terrifying power? What kind of realm was this?
Eighth realm of the Immortal World, or Ninth realm?!
How did such an existence appear outside the Heavens?
Ever since the disappearance of the Heaven Realm, even the existence of a Eighth Realm cultivator had become a legend!
Facing this huge crisis, the eight Demon Lord hurriedly circulated their divine senses and communicated in the void to discuss countermeasures.
“We have to make the attitude of our Sacred Demon Realm clear and cut the relationship between that old bird and us. Otherwise, we’ll—no, the entire Sacred Demon Heavens will be finished.”
“That’s right. We have to make our attitude clear. It’s all that old bird’s fault for acting recklessly. It has nothing to do with us. Exalted Immortal, please don’t blame us.”
“You’re thinking too simply. From our perspective, this is that old bird offending a big shot. But in the eyes of this big shot, he might think that our Sacred Demon Realm is disrespectful.”
“What should we do? What should we do to dispel this big shot’s anger? Damn it, if that old bird Bai Feng wants to die, he can go herself. Why must he drag the entire Sacred Demon Realm down with him!”
“Calm down, we have to calm down. The owner of this gaze is very likely an existence standing at the peak of the Ninth Realm. We have to handle this matter well, or we’ll really be finished.”
“What can we handle? How can we handle it? In my opinion, we should immediately take out our demon souls and go to the sky without any precautions. We should kneel down to this great existence and acknowledge him as our master. This is the only way out.”
“This, isn’t this destroying the freedom that our Demon Race’s ancestors fought for with great difficulty? However, the crisis this time is indeed too serious. It seems that this is the only way.”
“That’s true. After all, we’re Demon Lords. We are not just protecting ourselves, but we’re also protecting the entire race. For the sake of the Sacred Demon Realm and our race, so what if we kneel?”
At this moment, the thoughts of the eight Demon Lords were surprisingly unified. They had reached an unprecedented consensus on one thing.
They would kneel and acknowledge the expert as their master in order to survive.
This was the solution they had thought of.
Facing a supreme existence who might be a Ninth Realm expert, this was the only feasible method.
When the other party’s realm was too high, any schemes, tricks, or thoughts were meaningless. It was even courting death.
They might as well directly express their thoughts.
… .
Heavenly Void World, Great Zhou Imperial City.
Cui Heng was also stunned. It could even be said that he was a little surprised. He muttered, “How can this guy be so fragile? He’s like a porcelain doll that shatters with a touch.”
Actually, he really did not want to kill Demon Lord White Phoenix.
After all, he did not intend to enter any Heavenly Domain before reaching the Soul Formation realm. Killing such a Demon Lord and collecting the various treasures and books left behind would not have any substantial benefits for him.
Cui Heng’s original plan was to release some soul pressure to create some pressure on the Demon Lord. Then, he would take advantage of the existence of the World Piercing Golden Light to obtain some information about the Sacred Demon Heaven.
That was all.
Unexpectedly, there was a small accident in the actual process.
Through Bi Hong’s description earlier, Cui Heng had already treated the Demon Lord as a Mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
Therefore, the soul pressure he released could cause a greater pressure on a Mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
Moreover, because the Nascent Soul True Spirit was indestructible, even a Soul Formation cultivator could not destroy it, so the pressure he released was slightly stronger.
Unexpectedly, although the Demon Lord had the characteristics of a Mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator and was slightly weaker than a Mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, they were not on the same level at all.
Not to mention possessing an indestructible True Spirit, even his soul was not strong enough.
The moment it came into contact with Cui Heng’s soul pressure, Demon Lord White Phoenix’s soul did not even react.
It exploded into countless pieces on the spot.
Then, the power of the Demon body went berserk as his soul was destroyed and exploded.
A Demon Lord of a generation died just like that.
At this moment, Bi Hong, who was beside Cui Heng, was stunned again. He was still excited about Demon Lord White Phoenix activating the World Piercing Golden Light again.
However, in an instant, his heart fell to rock bottom.
As a member of the tribe under White Phoenix Demon Lord, Bi Hong had a sense of the White Phoenix Demon Lord’s situation.
At the same time that Demon Lord White Phoenix exploded, he felt a splitting headache and an inexplicable sense of sorrow filled his heart.
“Lord Demon… died?!” Bi Hong said in a daze, almost unable to believe this fact.
That was a Demon Lord!
How did he suddenly die?!
At this moment, Xiang Zhen, who was still comforting himself, suddenly heard Bi Hong’s words. He was stunned for a moment before his eyes rolled back and he fainted from fear.
He also knew what it meant to be a Demon Lord and what the death of a Demon Lord meant.
“How can this be, how can this be?!” Bi Hong kept shaking his head and muttering to himself.
At this moment, he had already fallen into deep self-doubt.
In Bi Hong’s understanding, Demon Lords were top existences in the myriad worlds. The higher-level Eighth and Ninth Realm cultivators had become legends in the Sacred Demon Realm long ago.
How could a random person he encountered in the Broken Realm Sea actually kill a Demon Lord?
How could that be?!
He could not understand it at all.
“Actually, this was just an accident.” Cui Heng shook his head gently and was about to retract his gaze from the Sacred Demon Heavens.
He did not intend to explore further.
This was to prevent alerting those powerful figures.
After all, the Sacred Demon Realm also had Ninth Realm powerhouses in the past. No one could guarantee that there were no hidden old monsters.
In any case, after this encounter, he had already grasped the coordinates of the Sacred Demon Heaven. After he reached the Soul Formation realm, he could directly go over to investigate the situation.
There was no hurry.
Safety was the most important thing.
But at this moment, eight different lights suddenly condensed in the World Piercing Golden Light in the sky. There were Dragons, Qilins, trees, flowers…
“Souls?” Cui Heng saw through the essence of these lights at a glance and frowned. “Could it be that they plan to avenge that Demon Lord? They want to join forces and fight to the death?”
If that was the case, the Sacred Demon Realm was really united. He should be more ruthless.
However, just as Cui Heng was hesitating about whether to destroy these souls, the lights and shadows suddenly emitted information that represented submission.
“Greetings, Exalted Immortal. We beg to acknowledge you as our master and lead the entire Sacred Demon Heaven to submit to you!!”
