Chapter 461 - 454: Human Purgatory (First Update, Please Subscribe)
"No!"
In the void, the escape light flickered, but at this moment, an emotion of anger and unwillingness flashed across Infinite True Monarch’s mind.
A while ago, he sensed that his clone had been obliterated.
Feeling the disappearance of his clone, he couldn’t help but spit a mouthful of blood.
"Good tactics, to actually obliterate my clone, I underestimated you!"
Infinite True Monarch said through clenched teeth, anger and an overwhelming killing intent flashing in his eyes.
According to calculations, to refine his clone should take a long time, enough to support until the main body comes to the rescue. But obviously, that Xuanji True Monarch used special means to completely obliterate his clone, and the Nascent Soul dissipated.
After losing Peng’s Clone, his primordial energy was severely injured.
To restore [Peng’s Clone], he didn’t know how much time it would take.
"Kill!"
Seemingly driven to extreme anger, Infinite True Monarch activated divine techniques, instantly transforming into a colossal Kunpeng. A gigantic body of several hundred feet flickered in the void, opened its mouth, and a human village on the ground was swallowed into its mouth, slid down its esophagus into the stomach where gastric juices corroded and digested the food.
In a mere few breaths, about several hundred humans in the stomach were completely digested.
Its wings spread wide, reaching another big human city, where two hundred thousand humans were swallowed in one gulp, and it activated lifebound divine techniques to continuously digest them.
"Don’t blame me for being ruthless, blame Xuanji True Monarch..."
Infinite True Monarch coldly stated, flapping his wings, looking down on everything from above, watching the humans below as if gazing at a swarm of ants.
Humans want to hunt demon beasts, to use demon beast pelts to make talismans, to cook delicacies with demon beast flesh, to forge some magical treasures with demon beast bones, to make some elixirs with demon beast blood.
For humans, hunting demon beasts is a matter of course; how else would the cultivation resources of the Human Race come?
Surely, they can’t kill each other!
On one hand, it would be disgraceful; on the other, the higher-ups wouldn’t allow it.
But hunting demon beasts doesn’t carry a moral burden.
Similarly, demon beasts also have to hunt humans; low-level demon beasts want to eat humans to nourish their spirituality, to awaken intelligence faster and transform into a humanoid form.
Every human is a precious tonic, frequently consuming humans will greatly accelerate the Demon Race’s cultivation speed.
In past times, out of fear of Human Race’s Divinity Transformation Celestial Venerables and Nascent Soul True Monarchs, Infinite True Monarch dared not recklessly massacre villages and cities, or massively devour humans.
Because if things got big, it would easily attract the attention of Human Race’s True Monarchs, even prompting Divinity Transformation Celestial Venerables to take action.
But as the East Pole Celestial Venerable got trapped in a secret realm, Human Race Divinity Transformation and Demon Race Divinity Transformation battled, Merlin Pass fell, Tieling Pass fell, the Demon Race forces and numerous Demon Race experts invaded deep into Chu Country territory.
The order of the past utterly collapsed.
Infinite True Monarch transformed into his Kunpeng true form and began a wholesale slaughter of humans, devouring them en masse.
"As long as I consume twenty billion humans, I can make up for the loss from [Peng’s Clone] being destroyed, possibly even forge [Peng’s Clone] anew. If I can consume two hundred billion humans, I might even break through the shackles and step directly into the Divinity Transformation Realm, becoming a Divinity Transformation powerhouse!"
Infinite True Monarch’s eyes turned blood-red as he savored the taste of humans, feeling the enhancement of qi and blood, gradually unlocking the bottleneck that restrained him.
Massively devouring the Human Race not only uses an abundance of blood food to enhance his essence, qi, and spirit, to elevate his cultivation.
After killing these humans, he absorbed the destiny attached to them; his destiny was rising.
"Kill!"
Infinite True Monarch transformed into a streak of light, pouncing towards another human city.
But at that moment, the city above shimmered with light, and arrays activated. Rows of fish scales ascended, overlapping and piling up, evolving into supreme defense.
Roar roar!
Infinite True Monarch cast magic, continuously blasting downward.
The array on the city walls shook on the verge of collapse but held firm.
Roar roar!
Infinite True Monarch summoned his lifebound divine techniques, beams of destructive light continuously blasted downward, yet the city’s array remained unyielding.
Despite blasting over a dozen times, it couldn’t be breached.
"Troublesome, quite troublesome!"
Infinite True Monarch’s massive figure hovered in the void, calculating the ensuing battle, concluding that breaking through this city’s defenses would take two hours.
Rather than waste two hours here, he might as well go to other places, head to smaller towns to devour humans more efficiently and swiftly.
Swish!
After weighing the pros and cons, Infinite True Monarch abandoned his attack there.
Flashing his massive wings, he headed to the distance seeking new targets.
...
Not just here, in other places, cultivators of the Demon Race were engaged in total slaughter.
Golden Core Great Demons, Nascent Soul Great Demons soared like airships through the skies, constantly preying on human towns below, attacking some villages and smaller towns.
Wherever they went, they swept everything away, destroyed everything.
In their wake, Qi Cultivation Demon Beasts, Foundation Establishment Demon Beasts, Purple Mansion Demon Beasts, etc., rapidly advanced on the ground like a tide, submerging the land of Chu Country, slaughtering the Human Race.
Along the way, they consumed leftovers, attacked any escaped survivors.
Within the Human Race, Foundation Establishment Cultivators, Purple Mansion Cultivators, and Golden Core Cultivators also in various regions began to assault the Demon Race’s troops, engaging in fierce battles.
War raged in Chu Country, a bloodbath on the land.
Intense fighting took place, a war between races.
In other levels of warfare, there may be captives and slaves.
The losers might become slaves, even turn into a slave race.
But in a war between races, no surrender is accepted, there are no slave races, only the complete extermination of enemies, clearance of all.
Golden Core Great Demons, Nascent Soul Great Demons assaulted and ravaged like a pitchfork, constantly sweeping through human regions, obliterating everything. When encountering large cities or fortresses, they bypassed not because it was difficult to conquer, but because taking these fortresses would take a while, not worth the effort.
Thus, they left them for the rear Demon Race forces.
Demon Race experts quickly advanced in the front, sweeping through Chu Country, erasing Chu Country’s living powers.
Destroying the Human Race’s war potential.
Fortunately, Chu Country was so vast, equivalent to 2.4 trillion square kilometers, equivalent to the surface area of 470 Earths.
Even for a Nascent Soul True Monarch, traveling from Chu Country’s east to west would take three months.
Chu Country’s vastness, along with its sparse population, limited the Demon Race’s attack speed.
Yet with the Demon Race’s advance, the humans of Chu Country faced a catastrophe.
...
Huff huff huff!
With the flicker of a colorful flame, Kunpeng True Monarch’s Nascent Soul was thoroughly refined to ash.
Though it was just a clone.
After paying a certain cost, it could be resurrected anew.
The notion was that as long as the main body isn’t destroyed, the clone remains undying.
But Lu Xuanji still let out a joyous laugh. To repair [Peng’s Clone], Infinite True Monarch must expend massive resources, spend three hundred years to restore it, and the price is not small at all.
"For the clansmen of the Lu Family, for the cultivators of the Lu Family, I have avenged you... Now I can only kill one of his clones, but when I become stronger, I will surely annihilate the Kunpeng lineage, surely destroy the Hundred Thousand Mountains!"
