Chapter 314: Chapter 151 Sky High Plateau_2
Naturally, Shen Yuan isn’t about to sever his own foundations, so he opts for a different approach, walking the Path of Refinement to make up for his own power gap.
In the span of over ten years, Shen Yuan has traipsed across the earth to regulate the arteries of the Earth. In this process, he is also comprehending the Primal Chaos Energy, the mother of all things, by drawing on the arteries of the Earth.
While ancient Qi Refinement practitioners understood Dao by refining only the Qi of Heaven and Earth, Shen Yuan uses the Primal Chaos Energy as the base to manipulate thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. With the blessing of the arteries of the Earth, the power that Shen Yuan can exert is no inferior to those at the Spirit Refining Stage.
This is precisely what is unique about the ancient Qi Refinement practitioners.
“Here they come.”
As Shen Yuan whispered softly to himself, the distant wilderness reverberated with a trembling noise.
Those were ten red, one-eyed demons, each dozens of feet tall. These demons are incredibly strong, carrying small mountains on their backs, simply walking around could cause the ground to shake.
Atop the small mountains on the demons’ backs, the chatter, laughter, and whispers resounded repeatedly. Their conversations were tainted with greed and resentment, and quite a few demons even fought each other on these mountains.
The flying flesh and blood suggested a sense of depravity that could not be verbalized.
The One-Eyed Red Demon in the center was close to a hundred feet tall, approaching capabilities of the Spirit Refining Stage. The small mountain he was carrying had transformed into a genuine mountain.
Atop the peak of this mountain, a red-haired demon was flauntingly guzzling sake from a huge bowl. Each droplet that fell inspired a scramble amongst a great number of other demons.
The chaotic demons prostrated at his feet, all chanting the name of the Ghost King.
“Dajiang Mountain, Shuten-doji!”
On the other end of the wilderness, thousands of demons hoisted an extravagant palace into the air.
The little demons following the palace were as numerous as the sea, including the murderous Ghost Objects, and utensils that were born in farming households and had gained Spiritual Wisdom. It was a pandemonium of unusual occurrences.
Circling the flying palace were a large number of Yin-Yang Masters clad in hunting apparel, riding Shikigami. In their hands held divine shrines, they all praised the name of the Demon King with reverence.
Inside the palace, a silhouette of a stunningly enchanting demoness lay hidden behind gauzy curtains. The swinging tails behind her demonstrated her seductive charm.
“Divine Path Religious Sect, Yu Zaoqian!”
In the west of the wilderness, hundreds of thousands of soldiers had appeared.
Among them, however, only a few ten thousand were actual military soldiers. The rest were people armed with rudimentary weapons.
Yet, when hundreds of thousands of soldiers gathered, the surging Human Dao Fate manifested above the military array, like invulnerable city walls that stretched for hundreds of miles.
High in the sky, a large number of demons with wings and raven-like faces flew, brandishing their scythes. They resonated with the soldiers on the ground.
At the rear of the demons, a demon with a large fan and a robe stood, conveying a sense of supremacy that overlooked the world.
“Grand Capital, Great Celestial Hound!”
The three Great Demon Kings converged onto the wilderness, followed by myriads of armies of demons. Almost all their forces were deployed.
Without any need to probe, the first move was a lethal strategy!
At the very moment when millions of armies congregated, the three Great Demon Kings set their sights on the Divine Tree that was feared by the Will of Heaven and Earth.
The Divine Tree occupied a mountain, its luxuriant branches and leaves covering the sky. Like a giant umbrella, it enveloped the entire mountain under it.
The Divine Tree that had been suppressed for over ten years was now absorbing Spirit Energy in a frenzy. The gigantic Spiritual Energy Vortex gradually spread out to cover tens of miles of land, maintaining its power and revealing the potential strength of toppling mountains and capsizing seas.
Under the Divine Tree, a young man in a white robe sat with his knees tucked.
“Spirit Refining Stage?”
“Demon King?”
“Heavenly Master?”
The hearts of the three Great Demon Kings instantly filled with doubts.
Although the three demons had different names in mind, what they all referred to was the Spirit Refining Stage.
The people they had defeated are all at the Spirit Refining Stage. Back then, the Will of Heaven and Earth simply mobilized the Fate of Heaven and Earth, requiring these three demons to quell the disaster.
Even though the aura Shen Yuan showed was somewhat inferior to some, the fact that he could compel the Will of Heaven and Earth to command them into action regardless of anything was something they found hard to understand.
Despite having a clear understanding of Shen Yuan’s cultivation base, the three Great Demon Kings did not let down their guard for this reason.
If one could draw such dread from the Will of Heaven and Earth, it must doubtlessly possess unique merits.
After a short pause for thought, the three Great Demon Kings gave crisp orders:
“Charge!”
“Gather Momentum!”
With the marching of the million-demons army, the transcendent will representing the Fate of Demons in this world began to gather at this moment.
Above the wilderness, warriors equipped with armor began to charge, like a swift grey wolf. In the sky above, countless Celestial Hounds holding scythes spread an ominous aura.
On the side of Dajiang Mountain, nine One-Eyed Red Demons exerted all their strength to throw the small mountains on their backs, while the demons on the mountains of Dajiang Mountain roared furiously, tearing apart all the enemies.
On the side of the Divine Path Religious Sect, the demons charged amidst chaos. Hundreds of Yin-Yang Masters held talismans, murmuring spells, summoning huge Shikigami to control the group of demons, also known as the Eight Million Deities.
The forces under the three Great Demon Kings each had their strengths and weaknesses – Dajiang Mountain was the most murderous, the Divine Path Religious Sect contained the fullest demon energy, while Grand Capital’s forces were an orderly amalgamation of humans and demons.
Amidst the soaring demonic energy, a vast amount of it began to transform into an enormous phantom.
The phantom took the form of a gigantic spider, with nine eyes on its head. The central eye, which occupied nearly half of its head, remained closed.
The colossal body seemed capable of carrying the wilderness, and its eight spider legs functioned like celestial pillars, suppressing all eight sides. An air of terror surpassing the limits of this world was brewing at that moment.
