Chapter 2400: Chapter 2399: Reinforcements for the Demon King Star
The Chaos Beast joked from the side, "Must be Mistress missing you. You and Mistress are linked at heart—she thinks of you, and you sneeze."
"Is that so!"
Long Fei chuckled, glanced back, and said, "Since when did you get along so well with Mistress?"
The Chaos Beast laughed heh-heh, "When I was on Jade Island, Mistress took me to the herb garden and fed me a bunch of good stuff. There were Yin Yang Fruits, Star Moon Fruits, Dragon-Scaled Fruits, Kirin Fruits, even Peaches! She’s a good person, of course I have to be good with her."
"You damned foodie!"
Long Fei rolled his eyes at it, thinking this guy was way too easy to buy off.
In three days, a large Teleportation Altar was quickly set up.
Beneath the altar was a Spirit Stone Formation. As long as you piled Spirit Stones into it, you could activate the altar.
The amount of Spirit Stones consumed to activate the altar varied.
The higher one’s Cultivation Level, the more Spirit Stones they consumed.
How many people and troops you teleported all came down to Spirit Stones.
On the Demon Clan’s side the Teleportation Altar was completed at the same time. Long Fei had his Kylin Demon body over there to handle things, so his main body didn’t need to go.
He and the Chaos Beast decided to set off first, to guide the Star-Devouring Tree in connecting to Demon King Star on the one hand, and on the other to scout the situation there before making plans.
He handed the method of returning to Zhang Ziling; now, through the altar, one could go directly to Terra King Star.
If Su Yiyi and Wang Xiaoyun wanted to go back, they could leave directly via the Teleportation Altar.
He went into the palace, hugged his second daughter, and said farewell to Zhang Ziling.
Zhang Ziling was already used to days without him at her side; when she sent him off this time, her heart didn’t feel as bad as last time.
She told Long Fei to be careful on the road, then very naturally stepped forward and hugged him.
Long Fei held the child in one arm and her in the other, and kissed her on the forehead.
Before leaving, he left this girl a special Magical Treasure.
It didn’t look very presentable; it was that last remaining piece of Five-Colored Breath Soil from back in the Chaotic Sea.
Later it had been smashed into scraps and gathered up by Long Fei, and now refined into a brick.
This thing couldn’t even be ground down by the Chaotic Sea; you could imagine how tough it was.
After Long Fei’s forging, it could grow or shrink at will.
It could be used for defense, or for offense.
At its largest it could turn into a small hill to smash people, or a wall of earth for defense; at its smallest it could be used as a brick to bash people.
This thing’s greatest wondrous use was also blocking water.
Even as a palm-sized brick, if thrown into a Great River, it could block a Great River a hundred thousand meters wide.
You know, when the heavens leaked in legend, Saint Nuwa supposedly used this stuff to mend the sky.
He explained for half a day to Zhang Ziling, but her brows were still knitted high.
She was, after all, the number one beauty of Celestial Realms City; holding a brick in her hand, she totally lost her image.
She teased Long Fei, "Is this what you gave Sister Lin and Sister Wanrong too?"
Long Fei laughed dryly, "Yours is better than both of theirs put together, really."
As soon as he finished, he bolted, letting the Chaos Beast carry him off with Ethereal Escape.
Zhang Ziling watched them go and laughed behind them, holding the brick in her hand. She placed it into her daughter’s hand and said with a smile, "You hold this, it’s the gift your dad gave you!"
The little girl’s chubby face showed a trace of a smile, and she hugged the brick, genuinely laughing in delight.
In the starry sky, the Chaos Beast waited up ahead for a while for the Star-Devouring Tree. When its light arrived, it immediately opened the way in front. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Long Fei sat on its back, thinking that in the future he had to rob some Magical Treasures that he could actually show to people.
There were too many people at home; one piece each, and it really wasn’t enough to go around.
On Demon King Star, a great battle was unfolding outside Peacock King City.
The Demon Race’s strategy here was different from elsewhere.
They wanted to assimilate Demon King Star, to turn it into the source base of their second-generation Demon Soldiers.
The powers here were scattered; there was only Peacock King City as a major force.
So the Demon Race’s troops here weren’t many—only one Demon Venerate with the Witch Tribe Zhu Jiuyin bloodline was in overall command.
The Witch Tribe’s Zhu Jiuyin clan was born with an understanding of how to control time.
This descendant Demon Venerate looked almost the same as Zhu Jiuyin: human face, dragon body, horned head, very young-looking.
His figure was burly, with four arms, his whole body scarlet as a burning candle.
He still didn’t know about the Nine Demon Lords being wiped out on Immortal King Star, nor about the Lei Clan Demon Venerate on Terra King Star being killed.
The twelve Demon Venerates had emerged together, and only he and the Demon Race of the Shebi Corpse Clan rampaging on Netherworld Star were still alive.
He stared coldly at the battlefield before him, like a Heavenly God overlooking ants on the ground.
He wasn’t interested in the battle before his eyes, even found it a bit boring to watch.
When a streak of Five-Colored Divine Light suddenly appeared above Peacock King City, the Zhu Jiuyin-clan Demon Venerate Shi Qing finally snapped his eyes open.
His thoughts connected, and with just a strand of divine sense he arrived above Demon Capital City, facing off from afar against the owner of that Five-Colored Divine Light.
He looked at the person before him and said rather disdainfully, "Peacock Ancestor, you made me wait a long time."
This ancestor wore a blue long robe and held a sword, glaring at Shi Qing Demon Venerate with a muffled snort, "If you want to fight, then fight. What’s the point of all this nonsense?"
Shi Qing laughed loudly, "You’re the only Celestial Venerable in this place; I can’t be bothered to kill you. You know very well the current situation of the Nine Domains. Our Demon Race will soon rule this place. Once we join with the outer-realm Demon Race, occupying the Human Realm is only a matter of time. If you’re willing to submit to us, we can help you elevate your bloodline. Your disciples and descendants will also benefit from it and become the new rulers of the Human Realm!"
The Peacock Ancestor stared at him in disdain. "So what you mean is, you want this old man to become your puppet and servant?"
Shi Qing snorted with a laugh, "That’s right, exactly!"
He spoke very bluntly, not putting the Peacock Ancestor in his eyes at all.
The Peacock Ancestor tightened his grip on the Longsword in his hand, his voice icy. "That depends on your ability."
He slashed out with one sword, and endless Five-Colored Mysterious Light rolled forth, hacking toward Shi Qing Demon Venerate.
Sword Qi filled the sky, causing the Demon Clan below to cry out in surprise, "The Ancestor has emerged!"
"Great, we’re saved!"
"With the Ancestor out, the Demon Race will surely lose!"
"..."
The various Demon Kings all raised their arms and shouted.
Only the Peacock King and his adopted daughter Kong Qing were frowning tightly, their hearts full of worry.
As early as a hundred years ago, Kong Qing had already returned with the Dragon-Scaled Elephant King, Single-Horned Rhino King, and Golden-Haired Lion King, and had become a royal princess in Peacock King City.
After the Peacock King stepped down, he was already preparing to put her on the throne.
In the sky, Shi Qing stood where he was, letting the Sword Qi fall.
But his figure vanished, appearing behind the Peacock King with a cold, mocking laugh. "Peacock Ancestor, you’d better save your strength! I am the embodiment of time, dwelling within the long river of time. What you see of me is not my true self. I can kill you, but you can’t kill me. If you truly think for the Demon Clan’s sake, you’d best surrender quickly!"
He reached out a grab in midair, grasping toward the Peacock Ancestor’s chest out of nothing.
Boom!
A blast of Five-Colored Divine Light erupted. Fortunately, the Peacock Ancestor had the Five-Colored Feather Coat protecting his body and forcibly blocked it, but he was still shaken by the force of that palm and sent flying backward.
