Chapter 1679: Chapter 21: The Cruel Advent_3
After absorbing all that demonic qi, Huang Nue’s appearance showed no changes, but the faint aura of power it emitted, along with its significantly more indestructible outer carapace, all attested to its strength.
“…The Demon Lord granted you power.”
The golden humanoid spoke cautiously, and the Purple Qilin was even more solemn: “Zhan Tujia, no matter how you evil demons battle internally, what you have promised must be fulfilled.”
[I am not the deceitful Heavenly Demon, I lack such a nature, I do not lie]
Huang Nue’s seven eyes simultaneously gazed at the Purple Qilin and the golden humanoid, its voice became even grander, almost calm: [What was previously agreed upon shall be carried out as such, but henceforth, the Qilin shall obey my command, including you, outsiders, your power, too, shall follow my directive]
[We must, with the utmost speed, assault the Fifth Industrial Center, restrict An Jing’s growth and recovery, and at the minimal cost, utterly destroy the hope of the Desolate Alliance]
Upon hearing these words, unlike the golden humanoid who had only recently arrived at the Great Wilderness Realm, the Purple Qilin fully understood that the Zhan Tujia before it, or rather, Huang Nue, was no longer entirely itself… but the surrogate of the Demon Abyss of the Great Wilderness, an incarnation entrusted with a strand of the Supreme True Demon Venerable’s thought.
After the collapse of the Heavenly Continent, following the demise of the Holy Demon, the Desolate Alliance, which briefly united the power of the four races of the Three Realms, continued to suffer setbacks when facing the evil demons because of this.
The Great Wilderness Heavenly Dao had already completely dissipated, yet the remnants of the Holy Demon, the residual thoughts of the Demon Lord, still existed.
Yes, within the Great Wilderness Realm, the Demon Lord still exists, and even, could still bestow power, this was precisely the true advantage the evil demons held over the various races.
“…Very well.”
In the face of such a genuine Heavenly Demon, the surrogate of the Demon Lord, the Purple Qilin knew that it wouldn’t even have time to make the excuse of needing internal consultation, and it also understood there would be no dissent within the clan… At a time when the whole clan was almost on the brink of being assimilated by the evil demons, such Qilins that steadfastly insisted on breaking into the Great Wall Forbidden Area, acquiring the Opportunity of Unity, and subsequently rescuing their kin, were already very few. It could only… accept and obey.
It could only agree.
And the golden humanoid seriously watched Huang Nue, it remained silent, but the attitude was quite clear.
[Very well]
Without a hint of hesitation, Huang Nue lifted its hand, and instantly, beyond the Jade Kunlun, more, millions of evil demons responded to its gesture; in the darkness as thick as the abyss, enormous beasts, gigantic insects, possessing sharpness, curvatures, firm mouthparts, and vast wings, the demon crowds ascended to the skies. These creatures, mixed with dragons, phoenixes, qilins, and humans, clad in carapaces, sturdy scales, and feathers, had peculiar eyes flowing with a malicious intelligence.
But even more terrifying were those more purely demonic existences; they appeared, indistinguishable from humans, dragons, or other clans, were neither cruel nor evil, exuding a kind of warmth that did not provoke aversion but even fostered a feeling of closeness.
[Set out, now!]
Huang Nue issued the command, and the legion of demons moved in perfect unison. This was a mandate from the Demon Lord, leaving no room for explanation, distortion, or denial. This absolute unity of will was precisely the strongest aspect of the evil demons.
If all the evil demons within the Great Wilderness Realm were to obey this command and set out to annihilate one person, then that person, indeed, would be sentenced to certain death, unable to find any path to survival either in the sky or on earth.
However…
Thunder could faintly be heard.
Thunder was roaring.
[What?!]
Before the Purple Qilin and golden humanoid could summon their own troops to join the evil demons, they saw, at the edge of that pitch-black dark realm, from the terminus of the lightless expanse, suddenly came the sound of thunder, suddenly lit up, a scarlet golden…
Thunder light!
Boom!
Then, they, among beasts, demons, and incarnations of the Heavenly Venerates from outer realms, all looked with astonished and incredulous gazes at the center of that unexpected thunder light!
A Dragon Remains Battleship, accompanied by a suit of Platinum Armor, roared with thunder, riding the thunder light, tearing through all darkness, hurtling towards them like a meteor!
Red thunder shattered the silence, genuine devastation and catastrophe were descending!
