88: The Human Power in the Deep Starry Sky

Later, after the Soul searching is complete, I must keep the Soul of that Human Race two-legged sheep, refine it into a lamp and release it, bit by bit, burning it into ashes.

The Red Dragon Descendant's rage burned fiercely. He raised his hand and punched the unharmed Five Elements Dao Soldier that had attacked again, sending it flying.

"Your Highness..." Another scream came from the side. The Deer Demon had been surrounded and killed by numerous Golden Armor Dao Soldiers and Five Elements Dao Soldiers.

One remaining Five Elements Dao Soldier charged towards the Red Dragon Descendant, while the remaining twenty-four Golden Armor Dao Soldiers all charged towards the Elephant Demon.

In an instant, the Ancient Demon Clan's five Xuan Fa Realm Peak experts and one Dao Infant Realm Ancient Demon were surrounded and killed. Only the Red Dragon Descendant and the Elephant Demon remained. What angered the Red Dragon Descendant even more was that the Elephant Demon was also about to die.

Originally, one Five Elements Dao Soldier was enough to make the Elephant Demon struggle to cope, even falling into a disadvantage. Now, with the addition of twenty-three Golden Armor Dao Soldiers, it was the final straw that broke the camel's back. No, this wasn't a single straw, but a bundle of straws.

Twenty-three Golden Armor Dao Soldiers were already qualified to surround and kill a Dao Infant Realm expert, let alone with a Five Elements Dao Soldier as the main force.

Almost in just a moment, the Elephant Demon was beaten until its body was covered in blood, roaring repeatedly, "Damn it, I underestimated the strength of that Human Race two-legged sheep! Your Highness, this is impossible, run quickly..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Five Elements Dao Soldier had already punched out, shattering his head with a boom. The Elephant Demon instantly died.

Dead, all dead!

At this moment, the Red Dragon Descendant felt the rage in his chest burn to the extreme!

Every hundred years, the Human Race's Dongming Sect would come to this remnant tomb location in the 'Ancient Lang Mountain Range' to sweep through the Demon Clan, using the hunting of the Demon Clan in the remnant tomb to train their Disciples. The Ancient Demon Clan within the Ancient Demon Realm naturally knew this clearly.

Therefore, this time, the Red Dragon Descendant quietly left the Ancient Demon Realm and came to this remnant tomb.

The Ancient Demon Realm's Seal has always only prevented Demon Clan creatures above the Dao Infant Realm from entering and exiting. This is why there are Qi Condensation, Spirit Transformation, Penetrating Aperture, and even Mysterious Method and Dao Infant Realm experts in this Ancient Demon Remnant Tomb, but there have never been Grand Demon above the Dao Infant Realm.

Unless they broke through to the Dao Infant Realm after entering the Ancient Demon Remnant Tomb, just like that Demon King from Night Courtyard Mountain before. Unfortunately, his Aura was too strong and couldn't be concealed at all. As soon as the Dongming Sect's Elder opened the Void portal of the Ancient Demon Remnant Tomb, he sensed it and killed this Demon King immediately.

And this Red Dragon Descendant came to the Ancient Demon Remnant Tomb to counter-hunt the cultivators of the Human Race's Dongming Sect, to prove that the Ancient Demon Realm was only sealed, not meant to be extinguished and trampled upon by the Human Race at will.

However, the result was that he didn't kill many cultivators from the Dongming Sect. Instead, he lost two Dao Infant Realm and five Xuan Fa Realm Peak subordinates to Lu Chen, an unknown minor figure. It was simply a great humiliation!

If he were to return to the Ancient Demon Realm like this, where would his Red Dragon Descendant's face be? He would likely become the Ancient Demon Realm's joke for hundreds of years. Even if he became a Grand Demon in the future, he wouldn't be able to get rid of this stain.

"The Elders of your Dongming Sect did not keep this Highness, nor did they keep my subordinates. You, a mere Dongming Sect nobody, what virtue and ability do you have to make this Highness suffer such a great loss!" The Red Dragon Descendant looked at the three Five Elements Dao Soldiers and twenty-three Golden Armor Dao Soldiers who were already surrounding him. The vertical pupils in his eyes gradually expanded, and finally, with a 'boom' sound, he suddenly transformed into his Red Dragon true body.

It was a dragon species over a hundred feet long, covered in red scales, almost indistinguishable from a True Dragon.

However, it had a pair of straight horns on its head instead of the dragon horns similar to deer antlers of a True Dragon, and it had four claws instead of five.

"Roar!" A deafening dragon roar sounded. The Red Dragon roared, and Dragon Might spread everywhere. The creatures deep underground that had not yet transformed into demons all prostrated themselves on the ground. Some weaker ones even died directly.

Even Lu Chen, who was dozens of miles away, suddenly felt a pressure coming from the depths of his Soul. This suppression was like a mouse encountering a cat, a weak wild rabbit encountering a fierce tiger in the mountains, a tiny chick seeing a soaring eagle in the sky. This was a suppression from the Bloodline, a suppression from the top of the food chain pyramid!

Even with the strength of Lu Chen's Physical Body, it had no effect at all, because it came from the depths of his Soul!

"The Dragon Bloodline is indeed extraordinary!" Lu Chen's face paled for a moment. Then, the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin in the depths of his Sea of Consciousness suddenly fluctuated, and the Dragon Might from the depths of his Soul instantly vanished into thin air, completely disappearing.

It seemed that in front of the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, the so-called Dragon Might was just like a gentle breeze, not worth mentioning.

Lu Chen had already anticipated this. After all, it was born from heaven and earth and resided in the depths of his Sea of Consciousness. If it couldn't even protect his Sea of Consciousness and Soul, then it would have wasted the reputation of a companion Spirit Treasure.

"Let's see if you, this fake dragon, can keep your life under the encirclement of my Dao Soldiers!" Lu Chen remained unmoved. Although this Dragon Might was strong, it was only effective against living creatures. His Dao Soldiers were neither living nor dead and were not within the category of living creatures. This Dragon Might had almost no effect on his Dao Soldiers.

Unless this Dragon Might could directly shatter his Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, but this was clearly impossible!

As expected, no matter how the Red Dragon's Dragon Might raged, suppressing everything, the three Five Elements Dao Soldiers, twenty-three Golden Armor Dao Soldiers, and even the weakest Silver Armor Dao Soldiers, seemed unaffected, not influenced in the slightest.

Led by the three Five Elements Dao Soldiers, assisted by the twenty-three Golden Armor Dao Soldiers, they all charged towards the Red Dragon.

In the eyes of the Dao Soldiers, it didn't matter if you were a dragon or a human. Even if it were an Immortal in front of them, with Lu Chen's command, these Dao Soldiers would charge forward without hesitation.

"Roar!" The dragon roar still echoed. The Red Dragon Descendant was furious, "Damn it, why isn't that tiny Human Race affected by this Highness's Dragon Might?!"

Puppets were not living beings and were expected to be unaffected, but why could Lu Chen, a mere Spirit Transformation Realm Human Race two-legged sheep, be unaffected?

There was no time for this Red Dragon to think further. The three Five Elements Dao Soldiers had already led the twenty-three Golden Armor Dao Soldiers to attack the Red Dragon's back.

One Five Elements Dao Soldier rode on the dragon's head, smashing it with Earthly Fiend techniques. The other two Five Elements Dao Soldiers pulled out dragon scales and dragon tendons. The remaining Golden Armor Dao Soldiers all grabbed the dragon claws, dragon whiskers, and pulled out dragon scales.

In a short moment, the Red Dragon was already stained with dragon blood.

"Boom!" At this moment, the Red Dragon completely erupted. Astonishing dragon flames ignited from the Red Dragon's body, incinerating everything.

But the Dao Soldiers' physical bodies were indestructible and controlled the Fire Element. Such dragon flames were insignificant to the Dao Soldiers, not as powerful as the Red Dragon attacking directly!

The one-sided battle continued. The Red Dragon's roar grew weaker and weaker. Countless dragon scales were pulled out by the Dao Soldiers, and even a dragon tendon was pulled out by a Five Elements Dao Soldier. The dragon horns were broken, making it extremely miserable.

Finally, this Red Dragon Descendant let out a deafening roar of unwillingness, "This Highness is unwilling..."

But before he could finish speaking, both his Soul and Physical Body were completely annihilated under the encirclement of the Dao Soldiers.

"Unwilling? You think you are a high and mighty Dragon Bloodline, but in front of my Dao Soldiers, you are not necessarily any nobler!" Lu Chen stepped forward on a Golden Armor Dao Soldier, forcefully suppressing the excitement in his heart.

With a wave of his hand, he collected the corpses of the Red Dragon Descendant, as well as the Elephant Demon, Deer Demon, and other Demon Clan members.

The harvest this time was too, too great!

Especially since there was a Red Dragon among them, a genuine Dragon Bloodline, whose status in the Demon Clan was terrifyingly high, but now it lay quietly in Lu Chen's Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, becoming a Dao Soldier seed that he could use at will.

How could Lu Chen not be excited and exhilarated by this?

Escape!

Lu Chen didn't linger for a moment. He took his Dao Soldiers and instantly fled into the distance.

He had to get away from this place to avoid the Demon Clan behind this Red Dragon going crazy and finding him.

There was no need to think about it. The Dragon Bloodline was extremely noble in the Demon Clan. Once the old guys in the Ancient Demon Realm learned of the death of this Red Dragon Descendant, they would definitely go mad. Who knew what kind of trouble would happen then? It was better to escape first.

Anyway, this Red Dragon Descendant's Physical Body had been collected into the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, and its Aura was completely isolated. Who would know that Lu Chen did it?

After getting the benefits, Lu Chen didn't care if the heavens collapsed.

Anyway, if the sky fell, the tall guys would hold it up, and it had nothing to do with him.

Lu Chen was now considering how to distribute these newly acquired Ancient Demon physical bodies to maximize the strength of his Dao Soldiers.

"The physical bodies of Dao Infant Realm demon creatures can actually be absorbed by Silver Armor Dao Soldiers to advance to Five Elements Dao Soldiers!" Lu Chen fell into deep thought.

However, even among Five Elements Dao Soldiers, there were differences in strength. For example, a Golden Armor Dao Soldier that absorbed the complete Physical Body of a Dao Infant Realm demon creature to become a Five Elements Dao Soldier would definitely be stronger than a Silver Armor Dao Soldier that absorbed the same Dao Infant Realm demon creature to become a Five Elements Dao Soldier.

This was beyond doubt.

Therefore, it was better to let the Golden Armor Dao Soldiers absorb these Dao Infant Realm Ancient Demons.

However, his Silver Armor Dao Soldiers indeed needed upgrading, because now the Silver Armor Dao Soldiers' usefulness to Lu Chen was very, very small. Even Lu Chen's own Body Refinement strength had already entered the Xuan Fa Realm, which was much stronger than the Silver Armor Dao Soldiers' strength.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Chen directly selected eighteen Xuan Fa Realm demon corpses from his previous accumulation and put all eighteen Silver Armor Dao Soldiers into the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin to start absorbing the demon corpses and advancing towards Golden Armor Dao Soldiers.

These forty-five Dao Soldiers had all devoured ten thousand ghosts and were very different from normal Dao Soldiers. For a long time to come, they would be Lu Chen's main focus of cultivation. Even if he nurtured new Dao Soldiers, he would still prioritize the cultivation of these current forty-five Dao Soldiers.

Counting the remaining Xuan Fa Realm demon corpses and the five newly acquired Xuan Fa Realm Peak Ancient Demons, there were still nearly thirty left. This should be enough for one, or even two, Golden Armor Dao Soldiers to successfully advance to Five Elements Dao Soldiers.

Because Xuan Fa Realm Peak demon creatures were different from ordinary Xuan Fa Realm ones and had a greater effect on Dao Soldiers.

Now Lu Chen was hesitating whether to pile all the remaining Xuan Fa Realm demon corpses and the three Dao Infant Realm demon corpses, including the Red Dragon Descendant, onto one Five Elements Dao Soldier. If he did, he might be able to nurture a Divine Travel Dao Soldier comparable to the Yin Spirit Realm!

"Should I try?" Lu Chen was very tempted, but also hesitant.

Because the risk was too great. Logically speaking, three Dao Infant Realm and less than thirty Xuan Fa Realm demon corpses would definitely not be enough for one Five Elements Dao Soldier to advance.

The reason Lu Chen was tempted was that there was a Red Dragon Descendant among them.

This was a Dragon Bloodline, extremely special, and might have unexpected effects. The risk was that this was all Lu Chen's own speculation and conjecture!

"Forget it, play it safe!" Lu Chen finally gave up.

Compared to steadily nurturing four, or even six, Five Elements Dao Soldiers, an uncertain Divine Travel Dao Soldier was not as good.

"Then let me see what kind of Dao Soldier this so-called Dragon Bloodline can nurture!"

Lu Chen completely made up his mind and drew out four more Golden Armor Dao Soldiers, starting to absorb the three Dao Infant Realm Ancient Demon corpses, including the Red Dragon Descendant, and the remaining Xuan Fa Realm demon corpses.

…………

Ancient Demon Realm, deep inside.

Under an incredibly vast volcano, a magnificent dragon palace spread out, continuous and grand. Everything seemed to be cast from red jade crystal, like a mythological Immortal palace standing there. There were also unknown fiery vapors rising, resembling fire clouds lingering and not dispersing.

"Roar!" At this moment, a low dragon roar suddenly came from the depths of the volcano. Then, this dragon roar grew louder and longer, spreading out of this volcanic dragon palace, and finally reaching the entire Ancient Demon Realm.

Countless Ancient Demons trembled and prostrated themselves, terrified. Some weaker demon creatures even had their Souls shattered and physical bodies exploded, dying on the spot.

One after another, Grand Demon hidden deep within the Ancient Demon Realm awoke from their slumber and looked towards the volcano.

"Why is this Old Dragon going mad?"

"The Ancient Demon Realm's Seal has not been strengthened or changed, so where did this change come from?"

…………

Deep within the Ancient Demon Remnant Tomb, it was still the Void sealed by lightning runes.

The Third Elder had returned. The Grand Elder, Luo Tingwu, and Yang Qingpeng, the two True Disciples of the Dongming Sect, were still there.

However, in the Void sealed by lightning runes, there were no more Grand Demon from the Ancient Demon Realm attacking. It was completely silent.

"Boom"

Without any warning, a terrifying Dragon Might suddenly rose from within the Ancient Demon Realm, stirring the lightning runes into violent turmoil. A massive dragon claw also heavily pressed down on the lightning runes, leaving a huge claw print on the Seal.

"Hmm?" The Grand Elder, Third Elder, Luo Tingwu, and Yang Qingpeng suddenly rose.

Yang Qingpeng's long hair flew and stood on end. His Aura was fully unleashed, like a divine demon standing in the Void. He spoke coldly, "You remnants of the Ancient Demon Realm, stay properly in the Ancient Demon Realm, and you can live. Dare to step out of the Ancient Demon Realm, and you will be killed without mercy!"

Luo Tingwu brushed aside the stray strands of hair on his forehead and spoke indifferently, "Azure Underworld may not be as it was in the past, but those Human Race Seniors have not all passed away. Deep in the universe starry sky, there are still Human Race Great Power. If your Ancient Demon Realm truly crosses the boundary, our Human Race's Great Power are not unable to cross the Starry Sky and return to Azure Underworld. At that time, your Ancient Demon Clan may not be able to survive."

The Third Elder watched with cold eyes, but his Aura gradually grew stronger, ready for battle at any time.

The Grand Elder spoke in a deep voice, extremely forceful, "Ancient Demon Realm, do you truly want to be completely extinguished in this generation?"

The Ancient Demon Realm side sealed by the lightning runes suddenly fell silent. After a long time, a low dragon roar filled with suppressed anger came out, "The Descendant of my Red Dragon Clan has died in the remnant tomb. Don't you intend to give my Red Dragon Clan an explanation?"

What?

The Red Dragon Descendant died in the Ancient Demon Remnant Tomb?!

In an instant, the Grand Elder, Third Elder, Luo Tingwu, and even the arrogant Yang Qingpeng, all fell into a brief state of confusion at this moment!

Who killed the Red Dragon Descendant?

Who could kill the Red Dragon Descendant?!

Could it be that the idiotic Red Dragon Descendant was surrounded and killed by the Dongming Sect Disciples?!
