274: Demon General "Baxue"

In the leader's battle, the victor lives, the loser dies!

This Black Demon Clan member in front of him was far stronger than Hei Fang Luowu, whom he had defeated.

His status within his clan must be high. Although Xiao Zhuo was unwilling to offend such a Demon Race, which clearly held significant power in the Eternal Tribulation Demon Abyss, so soon after joining the Demon Army, he could only send him to his death!

However, to deal with this person, neither bixue nor the prototype of the zizai world needed to be exposed.

His Physical Body and Free and Natural Heavenly Art alone were enough to defeat him.

Hei Jin was forced back, the shock in his eyes quickly receding, his expression becoming much more serious.

"Your Physical Body is indeed not weak, but my Black Demon Clan's Physical Body is the strongest in the Demon Realm!" Hei Jin stabilized his figure, his voice deep and arrogant.

As he spoke, Three Heads and Six Arms instantly appeared behind him.

The Black Demon Clan's iconic Three Heads and Six Arms combat form was fully revealed.

His surrounding Aura instantly surged explosively.

Gale-force winds whipped up, making Xiao Zhuo's silver hair dance wildly.

But Xiao Zhuo's gaze remained calm. Although this Three Heads and Six Arms Black Demon battle body was powerful, it was only three times stronger.

And his Heavenly Demon Hegemon Body had not yet exerted its full power!

"Roar—!"

Hei Jin's three heads simultaneously let out an earth-shattering roar. The demonic flames on his six arms, covered in burning demonic patterns, surged. His Destruction Domain suddenly contracted and condensed, transforming into six extremely refined, pitch-black beams of destruction, coiling around his six demonic claws!

The air was scorched, emitting a burnt smell, and space groaned under the immense pressure.

He swung all six arms, like six spears of destruction that could shatter all things, tearing through the solidified Domain space, and fiercely bombarding Xiao Zhuo's vital points from different angles!

The might was more than three times greater than before!

"Good timing!"

Golden-red light burst from Xiao Zhuo's eyes. He neither dodged nor evaded, his Qi and blood surging and roaring within him like an ancient giant beast!

The dark-golden demonic patterns covering his entire body suddenly lit up, as if alive, flowing with a lava-like luster.

He clenched his fists, and the dark-red divine patterns on his blood god armor also responded. The God-Slaying Blood Flame was no longer merely a flame, but transformed into viscous, solidified dark-golden blood Qi, coiling around his arms!

He actually abandoned all techniques and Law transformations, relying solely on this supreme Physical Body, with his Heavenly Demon Hegemon Body activated, to fiercely meet the six spears of destruction!

Breaking Laws with power!

Subduing destruction with dominance!

"Boom! Boom boom boom boom boom—!!!"

Six terrifying explosions, almost overlapping, instantly tore through everyone's eardrums!

At the center of the Commander's Platform, it was as if a destructive star had been detonated!

Blinding black light and dark-golden blood Qi fiercely clashed, annihilated, and exploded!

The incredibly hard obsidian Commander's Platform, in the core area of their collision, was shattered, melted, and evaporated in large chunks, as if gnawed by a giant beast!

Violent energy currents formed a destructive hurricane, carrying shattered rocks and demonic blood residue, sweeping in all directions. The two observing Demon Generals quickly joined forces to set up a barrier to envelop the Commander's Platform, thus preventing the surrounding soldiers from being affected!

Amidst the smoke and energy currents, two figures furiously collided at speeds beyond the limits of vision!

Each collision was like two divine mountains shaking each other!

Xiao Zhuo's fists, carrying the ultimate pure Physical Body power, wrapped in dark-golden blood Qi, fiercely met the destructive demonic claws!

Hei Jin's destructive power, enough to annihilate Laws, slammed into Xiao Zhuo's Hegemon Body, actually producing a metallic clang, only leaving scorch marks on the dark-golden demonic patterns, but unable to truly break through his defense!

"Impossible!" Hei Jin's three heads simultaneously showed expressions of shock and fury.

His proud Destruction Law, combined with the terrifying power of Three Heads and Six Arms, was actually unable to suppress this Human Race member?

The opponent's Physical Body was even more terrifying than the Red Melting Demon Race of the Melting Heart Abyss (the truly recognized strongest Physical Body Demon Race in the Demon Realm)!

"Nothing is impossible!" Xiao Zhuo's voice pierced through the roar of explosions, cold as the chilling wind of the Nine Netherworlds.

He seized an extremely tiny flaw in Hei Jin's six-armed attack. His left fist violently swept aside the blockade of two demonic claws, and his right fist, like a giant siege hammer charged with ten thousand catties of force, condensed dark-golden blood Qi to its extreme, subtly causing space to collapse at the punch's tip!

"Break!"

This punch was fast! Accurate! Ruthless!

Carrying the Physical Body power Xiao Zhuo had honed to its peak since he began cultivating, imbued with the supreme might granted by the Heavenly Demon Hegemon Body, and fueled by the invincible Aura accumulated from continuous bloody battles, it unadornedly slammed towards the chest of Hei Jin's central head!

Hei Jin's pupils contracted sharply. His remaining four arms hastily moved to defend, and destructive demonic light intertwined into a shield!

"Thump—!!!"

A dull thud, so heavy it made hearts stop!

The destructive demonic shield shattered instantly!

Xiao Zhuo's dark-golden blood fist, like a red-hot iron skewer piercing through butter, effortlessly penetrated Hei Jin's hastily condensed protective demonic Qi, firmly striking his chest!

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Hei Jin's central head snapped backward, his eyes bulging, filled with incomprehensible shock and intense pain!

His chest, covered in demonic patterns, visibly collapsed around the center of Xiao Zhuo's fist, and spiderweb-like hideous cracks instantly spread across his entire chest and abdomen!

The burning black demonic patterns extinguished and crumbled inch by inch!

"Pfft—!"

A mouthful of vital demonic blood, mixed with internal organ fragments and flashing with destructive black light, gushed out like a fountain from Hei Jin's three mouths!

His majestic Three Heads and Six Arms demonic body, like a kite with a broken string, was sent flying backward by an irresistible force!

Wherever it passed, space was ploughed open with a pitch-black crack, and the Destruction Domain instantly collapsed!

"Jin!" In the sky, Hei Fang Tianyu's eyes were bloodshot, letting out a mournful, furious roar!

He never expected that the peerless Prodigy, on whom the clan placed high hopes, would be defeated so miserably and so quickly by this unknown newcomer!

"Rumble!" Hei Jin's body slammed heavily onto the edge of the Commander's Platform, creating a massive deep pit in the already dilapidated platform. Smoke billowed.

He lay at the bottom of the pit, his three heads listless, his six arms hanging limply. In the terrifying indentation on his chest, the destructive demonic patterns were dim, his Aura was extremely weak, and even the runes of the Destruction Law within him showed cracks. He was already on the verge of death!

Above and below the Commander's Platform, there was dead silence!

All the Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals, including those well-experienced Demon Generals, felt as if their throats were choked. Their eyes wide, they stared in disbelief at Hei Jin, whose life or death was unknown in the deep pit, then suddenly looked at the silver-haired figure—Primal Beginning—standing proudly in the center of the ruins, dark-golden demonic patterns flowing around him, the blood god armor gleaming, his Aura fluctuating violently but still standing tall like a Demon God!

With his own strength, he swept through all the demons, and even after continuous consumption, he utterly crushed and frontally blasted a half-step Demon General, a peerless Prodigy of the Black Demon Clan who wielded the complete Destruction Law!

What terrifying strength! What a domineering Physical Body!

After a brief dead silence, there was a fervent roar like a mountain tsunami!

"Primal Beginning! Primal Beginning! Primal Beginning!"

"Leader! Leader!"

"Invincible! Invincible!"

In the direction of the Third Battalion, the Demon Soldiers who had originally harbored doubts about Xiao Zhuo were now completely ignited with the ferocity and adoration in their blood!

The roars were deafening, and the Evil Qi shot straight into the sky!

Demon Soldiers from other battalions were also shaken by this astonishing reversal and domineering combat power, their gazes towards Xiao Zhuo filled with awe and fanaticism.

Xiao Zhuo, by himself, turned this cruel leader's battle into a torch that ignited the morale of the entire Black Edge Fortress Demon Army!

All the Demon Soldiers felt a surge of hot blood burning within them, wishing they could immediately step onto the battlefield and follow such a powerful individual into war and slaughter!

"You little beast! Die for this General!" Just as this fervor reached its peak, a roar filled with endless killing intent and rage tore through the sky!

Hei Fang Tianyu could no longer restrain himself. His eyes were blood-red, and his figure transformed into a destructive black streak that tore through the Void Realm, carrying a terrifying Demon General's pressure far exceeding the Profound Demon level, like a spear of divine punishment, stabbing directly at Xiao Zhuo, who stood before the dying Hei Jin in the deep pit!

He wanted to kill this culprit who destroyed the Black Demon Clan's hope, on the spot!

A Demon General striking in anger, his might shook heaven and earth!

The space in the entire Commander's Platform area seemed to freeze, and countless Demon Soldiers trembled under this pressure!

Xiao Zhuo's pupils contracted sharply, feeling a fatal threat!

He was about to activate his last trump card without hesitation!

However—

"Hmph."

A faint, indifferent snort, like the chilling wind of the Nine Netherworlds, instantly overwhelmed Hei Fang Tianyu's roar and froze his violent killing intent.

Demon King Luó, seated on the dark-red throne, made no extra movements, merely raising his eyelids slightly and glancing down.

"Pfft!" Hei Fang Tianyu, who had charged down menacingly, groaned as if struck by an invisible heavy hammer. The demonic light around him instantly disintegrated, and his figure stumbled backward several steps in mid-air, a trace of dark-red demonic blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. His gaze towards Demon King Luó was filled with terror and unwillingness.

"In the leader's battle, life and death are your own responsibility. Rules cannot be broken." Demon King Luó's voice remained calm, yet carried an undeniable, absolute will, as if stating an immutable iron Law.

He did not delve into Hei Fang Tianyu's transgression, seemingly wary of the Black Demon Clan's power, merely suppressing him with an understatement.

Hei Fang Tianyu's face was ashen. He gritted his teeth, not daring to make any further moves. He could only glare venomously at Xiao Zhuo, then transformed into a black streak, sweeping up the dying Hei Jin from the deep pit, and instantly vanished.

Demon King Luó's gaze returned to the single standing figure in the center of the Commander's Platform ruins.

He flicked his finger.

A dark-red stream of light and a pitch-black stream of light instantly shot towards Xiao Zhuo.

Xiao Zhuo raised his hand to catch them.

The dark-red stream of light transformed into a blood-colored token, neither metal nor jade, engraved with a ferocious demonic head. It felt cold and heavy in his hand, exuding a dense Evil Qi and an Aura of authority—this was precisely the "Black Peak Demon General Token," symbolizing the identity of a Demon General and the authority to command troops!

The pitch-black stream of light, on the other hand, transformed into a set of pitch-black battle armor, with a ferocious design and smooth lines, entirely covered with intricate defensive demonic patterns. It automatically covered Xiao Zhuo's blood god armor, perfectly fitting it and adding a few points of chilling majesty—this was the standard Demon General battle armor, an extremely valuable Low Grade Saint-Grade defensive treasure!

With this armor, his survival rate on the battlefield could be significantly increased!

"From this day forward, you are the Vice General of the Black Edge Legion's Third Battalion, bestowed the title 'Ba Xue.'" Demon King Luó's voice resounded through heaven and earth, "Army, advance!"

No lengthy speeches, no superfluous commendations.

Cold and efficient.

"Roar—!!!"

With Demon King Luó's command, the Black Edge Fortress Demon Army, whose Battle Intent had already been ignited by Xiao Zhuo's astonishing combat achievements, erupted in a fervent roar that shattered the sky!

Rolling Devilish Qi surged into the heavens, like an boundless black tide of fury!

Countless Demon Soldiers rose into the air, and floating fortresses swept across the sky, like a black steel torrent, beginning to surge out of the fortress!

Evil Qi condensed into a tangible dark cloud, obscuring the already dim sky!

In the center of this surging tide of the Demon Army, atop the ruins of the Commander's Platform, Xiao Zhuo, clad in his new Demon General battle armor and holding the Demon General token, his silver hair flying in the chaotic currents, dark-golden demonic patterns flickering in the armor's crevices.

He stood like a divine needle stabilizing the sea in the black raging waves, or like a peerless demonic blade, freshly unsheathed and sated with blood. His figure was deeply imprinted in the eyes of every departing Demon Soldier, becoming a totem that ignited their endless Battle Intent and desire for slaughter!

Ban Xuanji's figure appeared beside him. He clapped him on the shoulder and laughed loudly, "Good lad! You've really brought honor to your old brother! Let's go! Your old brother will show you a truly grand spectacle!"

His self-appellation changed from 'this old man' to 'your old brother,' carrying a clear sense of intimacy.

Xiao Zhuo smiled slightly and rose into the air with him.
