396: Chapter 396 Peerless Ferocious Demon, Heavenly Fiend Demon Emperor

After the first fox tail appeared, another one extended from within the black hole.

Whoosh...

As fox tails emerged one after another, everyone finally saw what it was as a malevolent demonic shadow slowly surfaced from the black hole.

The surrounding clouds parted automatically, revealing a monster radiating an overwhelming evil aura, with an ugly face and black wings as sharp as scimitars.

Nine tails reached toward the sky like heaven-shaking pillars, coming together to form this demonic figure.

This was the peerless evil demon, the legendary Heavenly Evil Demon Emperor!

At this moment, fear appeared in the eyes of many cultivators. As expected, Crown Prince Lanjing's previous announcement was true.

Now, everyone believed it.

Heavenly Evil Demon Emperor? This is the ultimate evil of heaven and earth!

Hun Tiandi furrowed his brows as he watched the Heavenly Evil Demon Emperor. The evil aura emanating from it was like a cold, malevolent entity from the Nine Serenities; he did not underestimate it in the slightest.

After it emerged, the black hole in the depths of the valley disappeared. In other words, it was the sealed entity. Since a Feng Shui master and the Mud Bodhisattva had sealed it together, this thing was definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Roar...

The Heavenly Evil Demon Emperor let out a heaven-shaking roar, causing the world's energy to boil as if it were extremely excited.

As for why it was like this, no one knew.

"Your Majesty, this malevolent creature's strength is celestial. We must leave..." Mister Corpse Soul spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Hun Tiandi's expression darkened. Mister Corpse Soul never spoke casually; it was likely that this peerless evil demon's strength was extraordinary.

The Heavenly Evil Demon Emperor gave a wicked smile and spread its wings. A terrifying gale appeared out of thin air, carrying the power of distorted space, and it instantly appeared atop a mountain peak.

Ah...

With a shift in its gaze, a powerful aura swept out, instantly shredding many Dou Wang experts.

The wild winds howled and space distorted as destructive forces collided with each other, creating a one-sided slaughter that soon swallowed some Tianjue City experts who had come to watch the commotion.

Flesh and blood turned into energy and entered its mouth.

Because in that instant, everyone saw an incredibly terrifying scene.

The Heavenly Evil Demon Emperor was devouring many experts to restore its own strength; its power had been greatly diminished by ten thousand years of imprisonment.

It lunged toward Tianjue City, and the world fell into an apocalypse.

Rumble!

Suddenly, the earth shook and the mountains swayed. The ground cracked open, creating hideous fissures that spread into the distance.

"Help..."

Screams echoed through Tianjue City. These were the wealthy households who had been unwilling to leave and chose to stay in the city, but at the moment the peerless evil demon broke the seal...

The city turned into a living hell. All the houses collapsed, leaving behind a field of ruins.

Within these ruins, evil aura rose like fog. A palm-sized white jade official seal hovered there, with evil aura flowing over it, turning it black.

Wait a minute!

Hun Tiandi's gaze fell and his body trembled. On the ruined ground, ancient formation patterns had emerged at some unknown time, weaving together.

It seemed that the Eighth-Rank official seal belonging to Tianjue City had become the core for suppressing the formation.

Kill!

At the same time, the experts on the mountain peaks also sensed the danger. Dou Qi surged out as palm prints and sword lights lunged toward the Heavenly Evil Demon Emperor to slay it.

An inch away from the Heavenly Evil Demon Emperor, an invisible barrier shattered with a loud pop.

It turned into fine energy ripples that burst in all directions, leaving dense sword holes in the ground.

"How is this possible?" Hun Tiandi's heart sank. Many experts had joined forces to attack that demonic shadow with all their might, yet they couldn't even get close.

Buzz!

Following that, the formation patterns revived and a mysterious aura spread out. The black formation patterns glowed, and the Eighth-Rank official seal shattered with a crack.

Roar!

A dragon's cry rang out. It was a golden airflow, and a dragon shadow appeared, only as thick as a strand of hair, yet containing a mysterious majesty.

"Dragon Qi?"

Hun Tiandi said softly, being extremely sensitive to this Dragon Qi.

"Husband, could something really happen?" The aging first wife showed a look of worry.

"After all, the person under Crown Prince Lanjing told us to leave early. He probably wouldn't say that for no reason!"

Slap!

With a slap, the fat on the shopkeeper's face trembled as he scolded, "What do you women know?"

The first wife covered her face and didn't dare say more. After all, she was the primary wife, but because she couldn't produce an heir, there were eighteen concubines after her.

But because the two had started from nothing and depended on each other, she maintained her status as the primary wife.

Over the years, as the family fortune grew, she began to miss the hard days of the past. Although they were difficult, the sweat was sweet.

Seeing the first wife get slapped, the eighteen young and beautiful concubines said nothing, only glancing at each other with cold sneers.

"Alright, in another incense stick's time, we..."

Crack!

Before the shopkeeper could finish, the hard iron plate of the cellar was torn open by brute force, and light shone in.

Ghost!

The next moment, a concubine screamed as a thick arm reached in. With bloodthirsty eyes, it picked up a concubine and tossed her into its mouth.

Crunching sounds followed!

Blood splattered everywhere, revealing a hideous face.

"You beast, I'll fight you!"

The shopkeeper's potential exploded. With red eyes, even in his fear, he understood there was no escape and found his courage.

He rushed forward with all his weight, but unfortunately, he was sent flying by the evil demon. His bones snapped and his chest collapsed!

"Old man, I'll send you on your way!" With a human-like palm, a cold light flashed as it lunged toward the dying shopkeeper's chest.

Puff!

Blood splattered, but he didn't die instantly as expected. Opening his bloody eyes, he saw a wrinkled face, pale as paper and weathered by time.

"Qing'er!"

The shopkeeper roared. Seeing her chest pierced by claws, his old wife's face suddenly seemed more radiant than ever before.

From the corner of his eye, the seventeen concubines were pale with terror, slumped on the ground.

"Husband, I'll... go first. It's like... going back to..." The old wife's words were never finished. The claws exerted force, vibrating violently after piercing through, also puncturing the shopkeeper's chest.

"I... hate..." The light faded from the shopkeeper's eyes. Everything in this life flashed before him and then vanished like smoke.

He hated—not others, but himself!

Tianjue City!

It had become a living hell. All the commoners and experts who had stayed behind due to greed or human nature now lay in pools of blood.

The blood flowed like a river, emitting a thick metallic scent. A faint mist rose toward the sky, dyeing the horizon red.

At this moment, whether you were a Dou Wang expert or an ordinary commoner, you were all just food. Everyone was stunned.

Earlier, a Dou Huang expert had made a move, but his weapon shattered and he was directly pierced and torn apart.

Crown Prince Lanjing swallowed hard in panic.

"Prince, we made a wrong decision just now!" the strategist beside him said.

"Wait a bit longer!" Crown Prince Lanjing was unwilling to believe it.

The Heavenly Evil Demon Emperor slaughtered frantically. Nearly sixty percent of Tianjue City's population was killed. Blood flowed in rivers, and white bones were piled high like mountains.

At the critical moment, someone took out a bright koi. The Heavenly Evil Demon Emperor seemed somewhat fearful; it turned its head to swallow someone else nearby, ignoring that person.

Whoosh...

Everyone with a bright koi took them out. Those Dou Huang experts without one turned and fled, while the Dou Zong experts watched in terror, unsure whether to run or stay.

Roar...

The Heavenly Evil Demon Emperor devoured nearly thirty Dou Huang experts. Seeing this, the Dou Zong also fled.

Hun Tiandi did not leave. So many people had bright kois.

"Your Majesty, take this bright koi and leave first!" Liu Ling took out the bright koi he had snatched.

"No need!" Hun Tiandi said strangely. "Don't separate. You must avoid the pursuit of the Heavenly Evil Demon Emperor. This malevolent demon has just emerged, and its strength is greatly diminished."

"Just protect yourselves!"
