Chapter 451 13 Demon Emperors (Organization)

Amidst the sea of infernal flames, tribulation clouds churned violently. That innate spiritual treasure drifted between the heavens, suspended in a state between tangible and illusory.

Streaks of void energy shrouded the heavens, while the luminous hues of Yin-Yang Primordial Magnetism cycled in ceaseless rotation. Their unleashed power resembled a force capable of cleaving the very fabric of sky and earth.

This spiritual treasure had integrated a Void Gem (Spiritual Object) of the spiritual treasure grade and absorbed vast amounts of Yin-Yang and 5 Elements essence, already possessing a remarkable profundity.

Facing the onslaught of lightning tribulations, he unleashed vast streams of yin and yang energy, his divine form fading into the void with such profound mystery that it seemed no worldly power could touch him.

No 1 knew how much time had passed when the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void (Magic Treasure), bathed in boundless heavenly tribulation, descended from the skies and returned before Eldrin (Person Name).

"What a fine treasure."

Gazing upon the luxurious mirror entwined with the polar lights of Yin and Yang, a flicker of delight surfaced in Eldrin's expression.

Although its offensive power paled in comparison to the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure), this Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void (Magic Treasure) stood as a supreme life-bound spiritual treasure, whose profound mysteries were likely unparalleled in this world.

The power of this Void Mirror was truly profound, no longer confined to mere offense or defense. Its primordial magnetic force could suppress flying swords and magical treasures; even a supreme demon-refining treasure, if caught off guard, would be restrained by it.

The power of Yin and Yang could manifest as a celestial curtain descending from above, capable of defending against all manner of spells and supernatural abilities. When unleashed as 2 divine beams of light, it could transform into the Annihilating Light of Yin and Yang to vanquish even the most formidable foes.

The power of Void was profoundly mysterious; it could not only seal the space within a 1000-mile radius but also tear through the void to instantly traverse 1 100 1000 miles.

After sensing the profound mysteries of the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void (Magic Treasure), Eldrin (Person Name) smiled and remarked, "While this Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void (Magic Treasure) may not match the Demon-Slaying Immortal Sword in offensive power, it excels in both attack and defense, making it a first-class treasure for refining demons."

"Indeed." After listening, Lyra (Person Name) also exclaimed joyfully, "With this treasure in hand, your methods have become exceptionally formidable."

"Whether sealing and slaying powerful foes or relying on it to flee beyond the endless void, all could be done with effortless freedom."

Having advanced his second life-bound spiritual treasure, Eldrin had accomplished the goal of this journey. He stored away the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void and returned to the ruins, gazing thoughtfully at the Sun-Moon Twin Wheels he had obtained.

Qingyue Lun (Magic Treasure) gazed at Eldrin (Person Name) with a hint of admiration and said, "To have refined 2 supreme demon-subduing treasures before even reaching the Nascent Soul Realm—your serendipity is likely the envy of many Nascent Soul True Monarchs."

"If not for the assistance of you 2 in extracting the Nether Qi from the Nether Gem, who knows how many years it would have taken for my treasure to advance."

Eldrin (Person Name) said with a light laugh, pausing briefly before continuing in a grave tone, "The beast tide is imminent. I wish to request both Seniors to emerge from seclusion and lend us your aid."

"I am now aware of this matter. If your words hold true, then this battle may very well become the greatest conflict the Vast 100 Realms have witnessed in a 1000 years."

Once the Ji Clan takes action, they will never cease until their goal is achieved. This battle is destined to be exceptionally brutal.

The Slanting Sun Wheel was somewhat solemn, but still declared, "Enough. Though I have not fully recovered, I have regained enough strength for battle. I shall join you in leaving the mountains for this fight."

After the 2 Refining Demons Supreme Treasures decided to leave the mountains, Eldrin immediately led them away from the Sea of Blazing Flames.

They alerted no 1, slipping back to the Chu Kingdom undetected. Eldrin immediately sought out the old clan leader upon their return.

Meeting the old clan leader, Eldrin inquired without delay, "During my years away, has the Ji Clan sent any summons?"

"None."

The old clan leader shook his head and said with some hesitation, "Logically speaking, if the Ji Clan truly intends to fight, they should gather their forces to deliver a full-force strike against the demon race. Why then has there been no movement so far?"

Eldrin also furrowed his brow. Currently, there were only a little over 2 years remaining until the next beast tide uprising. Even the Chu Kingdom had begun preparing for war, gathering troops toward the Earth Lion Ridge and Celestial Python Lake. So why had the Ji Clan still not made a move?

He paced back and forth for a long while before shaking his head again moments later. "Once the Ji Clan declares war, their goal will undoubtedly be to slay beings at the level of a Demon Emperor. But entities of that caliber—be it a True Monarch or a Demon Emperor—possess survival capabilities far beyond our imagination."

"If we cannot catch the demon race off guard, it would be extremely difficult to slay a peerless Demon Emperor. I believe the Ji Clan is currently merely preventing information leaks—they are waiting for the opportune moment to strike a fatal blow."

Chen Changxuan’s eyes narrowed slightly. He paced back and forth a few steps with his hands clasped behind his back, then handed a jade slip to Eldrin (Person Name). “This contains information gathered over the years about the demon emperors in the Bibo Lake, as well as details of the territories ruled by several nearby demon emperors.”

"Oh."

A flicker of delight gleamed in Eldrin's (Person Name) eyes as he promptly opened the dossier to examine its contents, only for his brows to soon furrow in deepening contemplation.

The territory of this Emerald Wave Lake spanned nearly 20,000,000 li. Its ruler, Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast), was on the verge of transforming into a true dragon. Legends claimed his power rivaled that of the Ji Clan Patriarch, ranking among the top 3 mighty demon emperors within the vast primordial marshes.

Once such an existence breaks through to the Nascent Soul realm, it will transform into an Azure Dragon among the True Dragons, becoming the second True Dragon Ancestor after the Black Dragon Demon Ancestor, and an unprecedented nemesis to the human race.

At the top of this list stood the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast), followed by 7 other slots.

Ranked second was the Violet Flood Dragon Demon Emperor. It was said that this demon emperor was a Thunderflood Dragon, born with the innate ability to command the power of lightning. His strength had reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul realm, and in terms of offensive prowess, he was even comparable to a Half-Step Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm) expert.

Ranking third was the Snail Ascendant. This demon emperor, known by the title 'Lord of Script-Sorrow', possessed a cultivation base as high as Nascent Soul, 7th Tier (Cultivation Realm). He was subdued by the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) and became the Grand Elder of the demon race at Jade Wave Lake.

The fourth demon emperor was a member of the Crocodile Clan, with cultivation reaching Nascent Soul, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm). The fifth demon emperor was a 5-Colored Heaven-Devouring Python, rumored to possess a trace of divine beast lineage.

The remaining 3 Demon Emperors were all direct descendants of the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast): the first being the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Emperor, the second being the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast), and the third being the Frost Flood Dragon Demon Emperor.

These 3 Flood Dragon Demon Emperors possessed relatively lower cultivation bases, merely at the Nascent Soul Realm, yet each remained formidable Demon Emperor experts not to be underestimated.

Apart from the 8 Demon Emperors of Emerald Wave Lake, the lineage of the Golden Rhinoceros Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) in the southwest of Ji Province also possessed 2 Demon Emperors. To the north of Qi Kingdom (Location), the domain of the Golden-Winged Great Peng Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) held sway as well.

The Golden-Winged Roc lineage occupied 2 fifth-order spirit veins and boasted 3 demon emperors at the Nascent Soul realm. Though this clan preyed upon flood dragons, the irreconcilable divide between humans and demons meant they would likely intervene at critical moments.

"This battle will likely be no easy feat either."

After reading the materials, Eldrin sighed and said.

Jizhou bordered the demon race's territories, surrounded by the domains of demon emperors. This ledger alone recorded 13 Demon Emperors (Organization).

This did not even account for the 2 demon emperors of Heaven's Spine Mountains (Location). By this calculation, the pressure facing the Ji Clan was truly immense.

Breaking through this stalemate proved exceedingly difficult. Even with the presence of Magnus the Virtuous Lord shielding them from the demon sovereign of Heaven's Spine Mountains and the Black Abyss Patriarch, turning the tide remained an arduous endeavor.

Unless they mobilized the power of the Vast 100 Realms and enlisted the aid of the other great continents.
