Chapter 425: Chapter 425: Mysterious Vertical Pupil, Entering the Great Liang Demon Nation
This pupil harbored no trace of emotion.
Its gaze was cold, striking fear into the hearts.
Merely by looking down, it could trigger storms and dust clouds, making the earth quiver.
“I will remember you!”
From behind the illusory gate, a cold and dispassionate voice sounded.
As time passed, the illusory gate gradually dissipated, and Ye Feng saw bloodshot veins crawl across that vertical pupil, as if it were angry, wishing it could cross realms to come kill him and suppress him.
“This individual must be a top Divine Origin Realm cultivator, at least on par with the Grey Vine Demon, perhaps even stronger, with half a foot stepped into the Void Break Realm.”
Ye Feng’s expression turned solemn.
This level of powerhouse was not someone he could contend with for the time being.
He must recruit tens of thousands more disciples, or perhaps dozens of Demon King and Demon Emperor level spiritual beasts, or visit several large ancient battlefields to absorb enough Heroic Spirit Power.
Only then could he raise his strength substantially.
Bang!
With a single slap, Ye Feng turned the decrepit temple into dust, severing the Soul-Devouring Clan’s connection to this ancient battlefield.
Without the statue of the evil god, the Soul-Devouring Clan would have to expend a lot of effort and time if they wished to descend.
“Emperor Beihe… So the majestic and mysterious man who left behind”Seven Steps to Heaven”is known by this title.”
Recalling the words of the beetle eight-armed giant earlier, Ye Feng learned of Beihe’s title for the first time.
Emperor Beihe!
Those cultivators who are eligible to use the title of “Emperor” are usually at the Void Break Realm level.
Turning around, Ye Feng looked at his disciples, who were frightened out of their wits, and said, “What, are you scared by a mere Divine Origin Realm warrior of the Soul-Devouring Clan?”
Ji Ziling’s eyes widened as she pointed ahead and stammered, “Sect Leader, it’s not the foreign clan that scared us, it’s you who did.”
“Huh?”
Ye Feng was taken aback and looked back down at the ground.
When he executed”Seven Steps to Heaven”just now, he used all his strength, and even though he was stepping through the air, he left a giant footprint a kilometer long on the ground.
From afar, it resembled a lake.
Moreover, the aftermath tore open a crack tens of meters wide and hundreds of miles long.
“It turns out, this move is so terrifying!”
Ye Feng was also startled.
“Seven Steps to Heaven”is a Divine Skill greater than a spell, imbued with the essence of heaven and earth.
Anyone who comprehends it can execute it.
And Ye Feng, using the power of his flesh, Heroic Spirit Power, and other forces, drew upon heavenly momentum far exceeding his own, directly stepping into the middle-tier of the Divine Origin Realm level.
Just one step was enough to obliterate the beetle eight-armed giant.
“I want to learn “Seven Steps to Heaven”even more now, what should I do?” Wang Ping’an said enviously, stars in his eyes.
“Unfortunately, I can’t learn it,” Qiao Jiaxi sighed lightly.
Ye Feng smiled slightly and said, “This “Seven Steps to Heaven”is a profound Divine Skill that doesn’t require spiritual energy, but rather understanding and control of the momentum of heaven and earth. Anyone who comprehends it can perform it.”
“Really?” Qiao Jiaxi asked excitedly.
Ye Feng nodded, understanding her query.
Qiao Jiaxi was instantly overjoyed.
“This Secret Technique is extremely arcane, incorporating the first seven Major Realms of cultivation within it. With each step taken, one’s own momentum is heightened. If one can comprehend it, even a mortal can step and shatter boulders.”
Ye Feng began to explain.
The disciples stood by, listening intently.
The mole hopped onto Wang Ping’an’s head, stood there holding a large mushroom with its fleshy front paws, nibbling and listening all the while.
But after a while, it realized it couldn’t understand at all.
Even Ji Ziling, a disciple with supreme grade bones, could only grasp up to the fifth sentence under Ye Feng’s guidance.
The last two sentences were completely beyond her understanding; she needed to slowly comprehend them on her own.
As for Wang Ping’an, Qiao Jiaxi, and Long Tianxing, they could only understand the meaning of the first three sentences and began scratching their heads in frustration.
“It’s truly worthy of being a Divine Skill. The difficulty is indeed high. Even though I’ve reached the Perfection Stage of comprehension, even explaining according to my understanding, I still can’t make my disciples understand.”
Ye Feng stroked his chin.
It seemed that for his disciples to fully learn”Seven Steps to Heaven”, it would depend on a long-term explanation and their own comprehension; it was by no means an overnight feat.
Soon, dawn broke.
Ye Feng stood on the Bone Demon’s head, continuing to fly eastward with his disciples.
“Sect Leader, are we really going to the Great Liang Demon Nation?” Ji Ziling guessed Ye Feng’s intention and couldn’t help but worry.
“Yes,” Ye Feng nodded.
What was his purpose for leaving this time?
Of course, it was to subdue more Mountain Guardian Spirit Beasts, absorb the power of Heroic Spirits and Evil Qi!
The Great Liang Demon Nation is a bustling realm of the Demon Race with a Three-Star ranking where Demonic Beasts are as common as dirt, and Demon Generals are as worthless as dogs, easily taming dozens would be enough.
In no time at all, the group entered the vast expanse of mountain ranges above.
There, lush vegetation began to grow.
If they continued to fly, they would see the land ahead was fertile for thousands of miles, with layered hills and peaks, towering ancient trees, and colorful clouds hanging in the air, a beautiful sight to behold.
And this was the Great Liang Demon Nation.
Boom!
In a valley below, two Demon Generals were fighting fiercely, both transformed into their enormous true forms. One was a ten-meter-tall, ferocious giant elephant and the other a nine-meter-tall, green-skinned giant ox, both pure powerhouses.
“You’re mine!”
With a single palm strike from Ye Feng, he suppressed them to the ground; the majestic power of the Heroic Spirits startled both creatures to their core.
“I am the Sect Master of Misty Sect. Would you like to join my sect and become Mountain Guardian Spirit Beasts?”
Ye Feng stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an air of authority.
“Big boss, please take our knees!”
The two demonic beasts immediately knelt down, expressing their submission.
Ye Feng extended his hand and drew a drop of blood from the forehead of each, then through the Spirit Beast Pavilion, he transformed them into Mountain Guardian Spirit Beasts.
“Do you have names?” Ye Feng asked.
“Reporting to the Sect Master, I am Mad Elephant.”
“I am Green Ox, but the Sect Master can also call me Niu Dali.”
The two Middle-Rank Demon Generals reported their names.
Ye Feng nodded in satisfaction.
Just entering the territory of the Great Liang Demon Nation, he had already gained two Demon Generals, which was indeed a pleasant matter.
“Now, the Spirit Beast Pavilion can house a hundred Spiritual Beasts. If the rest are all Demon Generals or Demon King level, then my Flesh Body Strength should be able to surge into the Divine Origin Realm.”
Ye Feng began to dream about the future.
“Alright, let’s move on!”
Soon, the party began sweeping through the outskirts of the Great Liang Demon Nation.
In less than half a day, Ye Feng had subdued five more Mountain Guardian Spirit Beasts, namely the Azure Totem Snake, Illusion Dream Spider, Red Lotus Flame Chicken, Void Iron Bone Jiao, and Tyrant Emperor Copper Head Ape.
Their names all sounded domineering, but in fact, they were just Demon Generals.
The strongest was the Tyrant Emperor Copper Head Ape, a High-Rank Demon General.
The rest were uniformly Middle-Rank Demon Generals.
At this moment, Mad Elephant, Niu Dali, and other Mountain Guardian Spirit Beasts, all in their gigantic true forms, stood on the back of a Bone Demon, surrounding Ye Feng like a row of bodyguards.
They continued flying toward the center of the Great Liang Demon Nation, their wild momentum soaring to the sky, scaring silly the many Demonic Beasts along the way.
“It feels like I’m leading a bunch of clowns into a village, causing a mess along the way, quite an unsightly scene…”
Ye Feng held his forehead with his hand, turned his head back, and saw that Mad Elephant, Niu Dali, and the other Spiritual Beasts were all glaring furiously, as if to stare to death the passing Demonic Beasts.
“Damn, they were scared by them.”
Ye Feng suddenly realized.
Boom!
Just then, a violent tremor occurred more than a hundred miles away, as if a powerful being was unleashing a terrible battle.
Crack!
A mountaintop was unexpectedly destroyed, drawing attention.
“Look, someone is being chased and attacked and, moreover, it seems there’s at least a Spirit Sea Realm Demon King behind them!”
Long Tianxing, with keen eyes, pointed to the distance and said in a deep voice.
Everyone hurried to look.
They saw a woman with disheveled hair, her clothes tattered and scorched, standing on flames, running wildly as if her life depended on it.
The aura erupting from her was strong, reaching the perfect stage of the Element Gathering Realm.
Her aura was primarily composed of Demon Elemental Force, indicating that the woman was a Transformative Demon Beast. As for what her true form was, it couldn’t be identified at the moment.
Behind her, dozens of powerful Demon Generals were in hot pursuit.
“You have nowhere left to run, surrender now!”
Further back, a regal man bearing a gemstone Jade Crown and with his hands behind his back was emanating a majestic Demon Elemental Force that rivaled the peak of the first level of the Spirit Sea Realm.
This person was a Demon King!
The Gem Crown Demon King had just appeared when he let out an indifferent voice that shook the heavens and earth, scattering the clouds for more than a hundred miles around, suddenly broadening the view by a great deal.
