Supernatural Insight Eyes

Chapter 2165: Chapter

With the physical power of a demon monarch, Ye Qiu’s success rate in assassinations increased significantly.

It wasn’t long before he took down a second monarch abyss demon.

With another core in his hands, he immediately absorbed and devoured it, further strengthening the demon’s body.

After enhancing himself, Ye Qiu continued his relentless assassination of the demon monarchs.

One, two, three...

Ye Qiu couldn’t remember how many monarch abyss demons he had slain; in any case, his demon body continued to advance in strength, now reaching the level of a Supreme Saint.

This method of evolution was so simple and brutal that even Ye Qiu somewhat envied the abyss demons as a race.

In contrast, he had fought tooth and nail from the beginning of his cultivation journey, surviving countless life-and-death crises before reaching the Supreme Saint level, whereas an abyss demon could achieve this by devouring, needing only a few days rather than years.

The Supreme Saint-level strength of the demon’s body was among the most formidable tier within the monarch abyss demons.

However, Ye Qiu was different from true monarch demons; his abyss demon form had a disadvantage. While he possessed the power of the body, his core hadn’t evolved, still at the realm of Return to the Void. This meant Ye Qiu could only rely on his physical strength, unable to sustain long battles. Once his physical power was exhausted, he became no different from an ordinary abyss demon.

Rustle, rustle...

A wave of energy entered Ye Qiu’s mind. While he didn’t understand the language of the abyss demons, he could feel the meaning of this wave.

It was a command from the depths of the cosmic abyss. Following this, Ye Qiu poked his head out and saw many monarch abyss demons crawling out of their caves.

He had indeed killed quite a number of monarch abyss demons, but far from enough to wipe them all out here. Many still lived and hadn’t been slain by Ye Qiu.

The monarch abyss demons were all looking downward, making way for an open space.

Hm?

Ye Qiu’s heart tensed as he saw an emperor abyss demon flying up from below.

When the emperor abyss demon appeared, all the monarch abyss demons presented themselves in a kneeling position, seemingly welcoming their king.

The horde of emperor demons grew closer, and behind them appeared that previous black demon.

Ye Qiu felt an impending threat. Previously glanced at by this black abyss demon, he felt his soul was almost seen through. Now, Ye Qiu suppressed his soul power to the minimum, afraid that the immensely powerful demon lord would discover that a human soul was controlling a demon body.

If discovered, he would undoubtedly perish.

This entity was probably even stronger than those beyond the heavens.

Faced with such an existence, Ye Qiu dared not relax one iota, and relaxing was impossible.

Even if Ye Qiu didn’t want to kneel, the demon body still knelt down; this wasn’t Ye Qiu’s wish, but the level suppression inherent in the demon body’s very bones compelled him to do so. Even though Ye Qiu inwardly resisted kneeling, he couldn’t withstand it.

The black abyss demon did not glance at him again this time and just floated past, surrounded by the emperor abyss demons.

The emperor demons and the demon lord took the lead, followed by a large number of monarch abyss demons.

Ye Qiu quickly calmed his mind and decided to follow.

He speculated that these demons moving together indicated another demon surge, and perhaps he could use this to approach the Galactic Ancient City.

Just right to check on the safety of the Beast God, Jin Shanshun, and others.

Following at the rear of the horde, Ye Qiu saw numerous ordinary abyss demons, much like the earlier monarch demons, standing on either side and kneeling to welcome their king.

Five hundred thousand meters, four hundred thousand meters, three hundred thousand meters...

More and more abyss demons emerged, continuously merging into the massive group, making the horde grow even larger.

Ye Qiu noticed that the number of ordinary demons had increased from tens of thousands to millions.

It’s terrifying!

The sheer number of abyss demons mobilized together was chilling to think about.

With just the martial artists in the Galactic Ancient City, could they really withstand the demon surge?

Even with the enforcers, it seemed very dangerous.

Ye Qiu’s worries deepened. At this rate, Jin Shanshun and the others were in great peril.

Enforcers couldn’t protect everyone, and among the abyss demons, that black demon was present. Ye Qiu really couldn’t imagine who could stop that most terrifying demon.

Just as Ye Qiu was feeling worried, a sudden energy fluctuation appeared above.

There’s a battle!

Around him, all the monarch abyss demons rushed over, but Ye Qiu wasn’t a true abyss demon, so he naturally didn’t charge recklessly with them.

Nonetheless, he didn’t stay where he was; he maintained his position at the back, avoiding the battle’s center.

As expected, fighting against the abyss demons were human martial artists.

What surprised Ye Qiu, however, was that these human martial artists seemed unfamiliar, and they were all white-haired elders, not a single young martial artist among them.

"Where did these old fellows come from!" Ye Qiu was astonished. On the Galactic Path, young martial artists predominated, and they didn’t look like the enforcers from the ancient city.

Huh?

Suddenly, Ye Qiu noticed something: these elders bore special insignia.

Donghua Sect, Taiyi Divine Sect, Demon God Sect...

Upon seeing the sect emblems, Ye Qiu finally recognized their identities. They were powerful figures from various sects back in the homeland. He even saw one completely wrapped in black, with only eyes exposed—an enigmatic Shadow!

Why were they here on the Galactic Path?

Ye Qiu couldn’t understand. Wasn’t it forbidden for powerful elders to appear here, or did the demon surge cause the Galactic Ancient City to invite powerful figures from numerous sects?

No one could give Ye Qiu the answer, leaving him to guess wildly.

Wait, hold on...

Suddenly, Ye Qiu thought of another possibility: Did these people come because of him, given that his identity had been revealed to many people before?

If this information reached the homeland, how could the sects with life-and-death grudges against him not come to kill him?

If so, he really needed to think this through.

Ye Qiu planned to return to the Galactic Ancient City with this demon surge, but if these powerful figures came for him, he had to reconsider. Within the Galactic Ancient City, due to the enforcers, perhaps no one would dare make a move, but he couldn’t hide in the city forever.

"I can’t go back." Ye Qiu quickly changed his decision.

Ahead, several elders unleashed powers beyond the heavens, battling the emperor abyss demons. While many monarch abyss demons rushed over, they inflicted little harm on the elders.

Though Ye Qiu was tempted to act, he held back, for intervening was akin to seeking death; he needed to focus on the bigger picture.

"Right! With that black abyss demon present, even if these old folks are incredibly powerful, they may not be its match," Ye Qiu’s gaze searched for the black abyss demon.

Though these sectarians were strong, the black demon seemed even stronger.

If they were all slain by the black abyss demon, that would be perfect, effectively removing strong adversaries for Ye Qiu.

In a split second, Ye Qiu’s mindset aligned with the abyss demons, hoping these elders would be slain.
