Chapter 477 – Flaming Stallion (2/2)
”Bastard!”
Lord Zhanlang was furious. He and Lord Baoju could easily recognize the demon soul hovering above Jiang Chen's palm; it definitely belonged to Lord Nether, and that could never be faked.
”Damn it, give me back my third brother's demon soul!”
Lord Baoju shouted out loudly.
Jiang Chen wasn’t moved by the fury of the two Demon Kings. Instead, he actually opened up his mouth and devoured the demon soul.
This scene startled everyone, including Daoist Profound River and the Great Elder. It was really astonishing to see someone eat the demon soul of a First Grade Demon King like that. Humans and demons were two distinct species, there was a huge difference between their sources. If a human wanted to absorb a demon soul, he would have to carefully get rid of all impurities contained within, and then slowly absorb the pure energy stored inside. That’s why everyone were so startled upon seeing Jiang Chen swallow the demon soul.
However, after Jiang Chen at the demon soul, not only did he not show any signs of discomfort. Instead, his energy started rapidly rising. Since the Dragon Transformation skill had gone through two transformations, its speed of circulation had become much greater. In just a few breaths time, the demon soul of a First Grade Combat King had been completely absorbed. As Jiang Chen had expected, this demon soul had given him another 2,000 Dragon Marks, so he now had a total of 18,000 Dragon Marks. As long as he could form another 2,000 Dragon Marks, he would be able to break through to the Combat King realm.
Therefore, Jiang Chen suddenly gazed at Lord Zhanlang. The energy contained within the demon soul of a First Grade Combat King couldn’t be compared to that of a Second Grade Demon King. Once Jiang Chen obtained Lord Zhanlang’s combat soul, he would have a chance to break through to the Combat King realm.
However, breaking through to the Combat King realm from the Combat Soul realm was a huge leap across a gigantic gap. At that stage, it would be very difficult to form new Dragon Marks. If Jiang Chen obtained Lord Zhanlang’s demon soul, even if he couldn’t break through to the Combat King realm, he should be able to reach the peak of the Late Combat Soul realm. At that point of time, he would have no problem fighting a Third Grade Combat King.
”Damn it, I'm going to rip you into million pieces!”
Lord Zhanlang was enraged by Jiang Chen’s action. He furiously roared out, “All my fellow demons, listen to my command; kill all these humans!”
Furious roars instantly shook the skies, and energy waves spread across the entire place like violent tsunamis. The entire mountain range was filled with intense killing intent. Countless demons were rushing toward the humans like a gigantic ocean wave.
”Attack!”
Wielding a dazzling sword in his hand, Daoist Profound River forcefully swung it toward the sky, instantly leaving a deep crack in the air. Right after that, the warriors of the Profound River Palace also furiously roared out. In an instant, they met with the demons, and thus, the intense war began.
Rumble...
The entire place instantly turned into a ruthless battlefield. Towering energy waves covered the entire sky, and spatial cracks caused by powerful attacks could be found everywhere. It was a battlefield that stretched out for more than a thousand miles.
The demons came in greater numbers, however, most of them were unable to make any impact, and were simply there to serve as cannon fodder. Although the Profound River Palace came with less warriors, they were all Combat Soul warriors; the elites of the human face. Some were also powerful geniuses similar to Wu Ningzhu, Yan Chenyu, or Han Yan.
Daoist Profound River was the first to engage with the enemy. In the blink of an eye, he and Lord Zhanlang had established a new battlefield. The two all-time enemies were immediately engaged in a fierce fight.
The Great Elder also didn’t wait, and he immediately engaged in a tough battle with Lord Baoju. Now, everyone were engaged in their own battle, and only Jiang Chen was left without any opponent.
Jiang Chen helplessly smiled when faced with this situation. Initially, he planned to immediately attack and kill both Lord Zhanlang and Lord Baoju, and bring this was to a quick end. However, he didn’t expect Daoist Profound River and the Great Elder to be so hot tempered. Before he could even do anything, they had already rushed to the enemies. In the end, he was left with no opponent to fight against; all alone.
Since this was the case, Jiang Chen simply relaxed. He could take this opportunity to check out Lord Zhanlang’s strength. Lord Zhanlang was an extremely powerful existence even among all demons. A human of the same rank was hardly its match. Perhaps Daoist Profound River was going to be suppressed by it.
With Jiang Chen’s previous cultivation base, killing Lord Zhanlang would be much more difficult than killed the Old Great Emperor. However, after absorbing Lord Nether’s combat soul, Jiang Chen’s strength had reached new heights. Thus, killing Lord Zhanlang would be but a piece of cake to him.
Neigh!
On the other side, Lord Baoju let out a ground-shaking cry. He had actually transformed back into his original form! It was a Golden Warhorse that was more than 30 meters tall, and he looked really magnificent. Just a casual movement from Lord Baoju could easily cause gigantic air to erupt from around its body.
The energy of Lord Baoju was too powerful. A sharp horn suddenly appeared on top of its head, and a bright beam was instantly shot out from it. The Great Elder was knocked far away from where he stood.
Puh...
The Great Elder opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. Although he was a First Grade Combat King, when compared to an existence like Lord Baoju, the difference between them was instantly seen. Lord Baoju was a demon of a powerful species, and he had a really powerful body, making it hard for those at the same level as itself to be a match for it.
“Haha, old fool, you’re no match for me! I’ll let you witness how mighty I am!”
Lord Baoju burst into laughter as he once more charged toward the Great Elder.
