Chapter 768: I, The Magnificent Monster, Challenge Your Demon King!

Chapter 768: I, The Magnificent Monster, Challenge Your Demon King!

The streets teemed with creatures of every kind and description.

At first glance, Demon City appeared perfectly ordinary.

Yet, as she ventured deeper, she discovered that the heart of it was an extensive maze of structures and passageways, embedded within the mountainside.

The area was heavily fortified, with entry reserved solely for the most devoted and formidable demons.

Despite her initial surprise at the existence of a mountain amidst the urban landscape, she quickly steady her nerves and composure.

In this realm, anything could happen.

She inhaled deeply, attempting to steady her racing heart.

It would be a lie to claim she felt unaffected after pushing her speed to its limits.

Her heart felt like it was about to leap from her chest.

If her strength hadn’t reached the Crossing Disaster level, she would never have been able to achieve such velocity.

Any cultivator who overheard her would likely faint from indignation.

Even the mightiest practitioners struggled to match her feats.

While it’s true that those with advanced cultivation could exceed mortal speeds, who else could fly ceaselessly at that pace as she did?  A peak Crossing Disaster cultivator could potentially travel at speeds ranging from hundreds to thousands of kilometers in one hour, depending on their skill and the techniques they employ.

Given the status of this continent, access to potent skills and techniques was limited.

Consequently, even the mightiest cultivators here could only traverse between 300 to 500 kilometers in an hour, varying with the narrative circumstances and the powers they wielded.

Nevertheless, she possessed the ability to cover nearly 900 kilometers in the same timeframe.

The sheer size of this city caught her off guard.

She would need to revise her strategy for rescuing humans from its confines.

{Master, there’s no need to fret.

Our strategy remains intact; I have a method to send them all away without revealing who we are,} Xiao Yun reassured her, causing her features to relax.

Her Yunyun was incredibly capable and trustworthy.

{I’ve learned that this city is the largest on the planet,} Hong Zuan commented.

His Red Snakes were exceptionally skilled at gathering intelligence during their training sessions.

She acknowledged him with a nod.

In the blink of an eye, Shenlian Yingyue’s aura shifted dramatically to an icy, sinister, and malevolent energy, as she recognized that she had drawn the attention of the surrounding demons.

She had learned from them how to embrace their darkness.

“Where do you hail from?” one of the demons inquired, his voice laced with caution.

Despite the palpable fear her presence inspired, he felt compelled to ask.

He had never encountered a demon who could move with such astonishing speed.

The other demons formed a tight circle around her, yet none dared to make an offensive move.

Her presence radiated a ferocity that surpassed that of any demon among them.

She understood that sneaking into the Demon King’s lair was a lost cause, so she devised a bold new strategy-creating a distraction right here.

Fortunately, the Spirit Bees had already mapped out all the locations where humans were held captive by the demons.

“I have come to challenge your Demon King,” she proclaimed, her voice tinged with arrogance and an icy resolve as she tried to pose as a mysterious monster.

“Hisss!!!” The demons recoiled, stunned disbelief evident on their faces.

Meanwhile, those in the Ethereal Small World were left in a state of disbelief; they staggered from their seats, mouths agape in sheer surprise.

She had kept her plan to confront the Demon King a complete secret from them!

Beads of perspiration appeared on their foreheads.

{Yunyun, get ready to teleport everyone to our designated location.

I’ll guide you on our next move,} she conveyed to Xiao Yun within the confines of her mind.

Xiao Yun and everyone twitched their lips.

Master, she was too casual….

“Where did this crazy monster come from?

Such arrogance!”  “How dare you confront the Demon King?

Are you seeking your own demise?”  Some were intimidated by her distinctive aura and strength, others scorned her boldness in confronting their ruler, some ridiculed her for overestimating her abilities, while many admired her audacious spirit.

Others simply observed with curiosity, pondering the origins of this crazy creature.

In essence, everyone’s perception of her varied greatly.

The reason they viewed her as a monster was the ominous black jade ring bestowed upon her by Diyu.

It stifled her human’s breath, substituting it with the breath of a being from the Abyss, the Underworld Realm.

“I repeat, summon your Demon King, you feeble and deceitful beings!

I, the magnificent monster, challenge them!” she declared icily, embodying the persona of a dreaded villainess.

An overwhelming aura cascaded from her, pressing down like a storm cloud looming overhead to demons.  In her heart, she offered silent apologies.

She bore no contempt for them, but if she didn’t invoke their fury, she would never reach her objective.

‘Oh dear heaven, please avert your gaze from my sins, don’t send me to hell,’ she silently prayed, hands clasped together in a gesture of earnest supplication.

Yet, on the outside, she remained stoic and unmoving.

Xiao Yun and the others nearly choked on their breath at the intensity of the moment.

Good heavens, it was utterly insane!

“Bastard!

You’re courting death!” The demons were ferocious, merciless, and incredibly proud.

They were creatures of arrogance, and pride, and would never tolerate any insignificant being trampling on their pride.  Suddenly, chaos erupted.  Some charged at her, while others hesitated, deciding to inform the Upper Rank Demons of the unprecedented intruder.

Those who smart, and calm, sensed the undeniable aura surrounding her-something alien that they had only encountered in their imperious leaders.  They weren’t fools to assume she came recklessly, lacking the strength or cunning to back her words.

Meanwhile, some withdrew, adopting a watchful stance, biding their time to strike.  Shenlian Yingyue’s eyes gleamed with helplessness.

Why weren’t they all advancing on her?

While she was able to dodge their strikes with ease and retaliate with her scarlet flames, she understood deep down that she could not afford to kill any of them.

Injuring them was all she could manage at this point.
