147: Demons!
The facts were just as they had anticipated; even the Demon Race above the level of a Devil Emperor could not enter after colliding with the golden barrier personally set up by Long Yuan.
"Is this the extraterrestrial Demon Race that the Chu family notified us to be on guard against?"
Inside the barrier, some Martial Gods also witnessed this scene. Although someone from the Chu family had already warned them, seeing it with their own eyes still left them shaken!
In a short span of time, thousands of black streams of light shot from the black pillar of light toward the Human Realm. They were all powerful members of the Demon Race, and there was still no sign of it stopping!
Boom!
A member of the Demon Race penetrated the barrier and landed.
"A member of the Demon Race below the Emperor level has appeared!"
"I thought they were all terrifying existences above the Emperor level?"
Lu Chen of the Tai Xuan Gate watched the member of the Demon Race descending from the sky.
Currently, the number of Martial Gods within the Chu family's sphere of influence was not small. To deal with this crisis, the Martial Gods of various Sects had brought their Sect's experts to patrol the various large domains. Once they saw a member of the Demon Race, they were to kill them on sight!
"Let me see what the Demon Race actually looks like!"
Filled with curiosity, Lu Chen flew toward the member of the Demon Race that had landed within his patrol area.
Upon arriving, he looked at the pitch-black creature radiating Devilish Qi and said with disdain, "So it's just a black ghost; how disgusting!"
These words fell into the ears of that Saint-Grade Demon.
"Audacious human, how dare you call me, a dignified Three-Eyed Demon, a black ghost?"
"I see you are courting death!"
The member of the Demon Race stood up from the deep pit; the bull horns on its forehead were still there, but the wings on its back were gone. However, a vertical eye grew in the center of its brow, emitting a deep, eerie light!
The Three-Eyed Demon was furious; the Devilish Qi around its body boiled and transformed into a huge trident.
It grabbed the trident with its large hand, swung it, and smashed it toward Lu Chen's head with destructive force.
"A mere Saint-Grade expert dares to attack me? Where do you get the courage?"
Lu Chen instantly erupted with the power of a Martial God, reaching out with a palm that shone with divine light, suppressing the opponent like a canopy of heaven.
With a loud boom, Lu Chen and the Three-Eyed Demon collided. The powerful force caused both sides to involuntarily retreat a distance.
"Hmm? A Martial God? Are you from the Hell Gate?"
The Three-Eyed Demon looked at its opponent because someone had told them before they came that in the current Human Realm, only the Hell Gate had Martial God-level experts.
Lu Chen was even more shocked; the combat power of this Saint-Grade Demon was actually so high! What he didn't know was that the Three-Eyed Demon belonged to a royal-like existence within the Demon Realm! Its combat power was naturally extraordinary!
"Hmph, what is the Hell Gate? We will destroy them sooner or later!"
Lu Chen snorted coldly. He had participated in the battle between the Chu family and the Hell Gate before. Seeing the Hell Gate Martial Gods, who used to tower over the Nine Heavens, he no longer felt they were so unattainable!
"We once had an agreement with the Hell Gate not to attack them. Since you are not a member of the Hell Gate, then go to hell!"
The Three-Eyed Demon narrowed its eyes and, holding the trident, killed its way over again.
"Then come and try!"
Lu Chen was not afraid at all; the power belonging to a Martial God erupted completely. His Emperor Weapon appeared in his hand, and he shouted as he attacked.
The weapons collided, erupting with a sky-shaking sound. For a time, sword light bloomed, Devilish Qi crisscrossed, and the Void Realm where the two were fighting shattered.
In just an instant, the two exchanged several rounds. The more Lu Chen fought, the more alarmed he became. This Saint-Grade Demon opposite him was so powerful; was its combat strength truly this terrifying? Was every member of the Demon Race like this?
Moreover, the Devilish Qi on the opponent not only could transform into weapons for attack but also had strong defensive capabilities. Even more terrifying was that the Devilish Qi seemed to have the ability to invade a person's body and Soul!
Just at this moment, the vertical eye in the center of the Three-Eyed Demon's brow suddenly erupted with a black light, piercing through Lu Chen's shoulder when he was caught off guard, bringing up a large splash of blood!
In his horrified gaze, the Three-Eyed Demon opened its large mouth and inhaled, sucking all the blood into its mouth.
Then it smacked its lips and said, "Human blood really is delicious!"
"The ancients truly did not deceive me!"
There were no humans in their Demon Realm; it had only heard some old Seniors say that human blood was the most delicious thing. Now it had finally tasted it, and it was even the blood of a human Martial God. In this godless Human Realm, this must be considered a top-tier delicacy!
"What a disgusting and perverted race!"
Lu Chen's heart shuddered. Apart from evil cultivators and uncivilized beasts in the Human Realm, who else would specialize in consuming blood?
"Disgusting?" "You don't know a damn thing. Among my Demon Race, drinking human blood is no different from you drinking water!"
The Three-Eyed Demon snorted coldly and didn't waste any more words, waving the trident in its hand to attack the human in front of it again. The taste of the opponent's blood was truly sweet to it, and it couldn't help but want to drink its fill again!
Meanwhile, members of the Demon Race were constantly falling into the barrier. Many Martial God experts began to clash with the Demon Race. Some Devil Emperors also collided with Long Yuan's barrier, only to be bounced back.
"What is going on?" "Who set up this barrier?" "Audacious, how dare someone block the footsteps of our Demon Race?"
Some Demon Gods were covered in Devilish Qi, looking at the barrier in front of them with cold expressions.
"Watch me break it!"
A Great Demon God strode over; a curved horn grew from its brow, and it held a black mace in its hand, which was still stained with dripping blood.
Feeling the aura emitted from the opponent, the surrounding Devil Emperors blocked outside looked happy and said, "It is a Great Demon God of the Immortal Realm!"
"With such an expert taking action, the barrier will surely break!"
Actually, they were also very confused. How could there be a barrier here that could block their Devil Emperors? Wasn't the strongest in the Human Realm only a Martial God? This was the intelligence the Hell Gate gave them! How could a barrier set up by a Martial God block the footsteps of so many of their Devil Emperors? Besides, the Hell Gate Martial Emperors wouldn't block their footsteps, right!
"Break for this God!"
The Great Demon God holding the mace roared, the black light on the Divine Artifact in its hand illuminating the world, and it struck the barrier with world-destroying power.
Hum!
However, what happened the next moment made the jaws of all the surrounding Devil Emperors drop.
They saw a golden flash of light suddenly bloom on the barrier being attacked, and then the mace in the Great Demon God's hand was instantly bounced back, hitting the Great Demon God's head squarely.
With a "pop" sound, the Great Demon God didn't even let out a scream, and its huge head exploded directly, turning into blood mist!
"This..."
All the members of the Demon Race were stunned on the spot. The force of the rebounding mace came back and blew up the Great Demon God's head?
"What kind of expert set up this barrier?" "Could the opponent's cultivation have surpassed the Immortal Realm?" "How is this possible? Didn't the Hell Gate say that even Martial Gods are scarce in this world?"
For a time, everyone was horrified. To be able to achieve this level, the strength must have absolutely exceeded their imagination!
Black Devilish Qi gathered, and the Great Demon God whose head had been blown off was resurrected again. However, it dared not attack again, but instead shouted, "There is a great terror here; I fear only when the Demon Lords descend will we be able to do anything!"
