“Jie jie jie, is it very strange? It's just a physical body, too troublesome, so I’ll reveal my true form.”
The Skeleton Helmsman laughed heartily, and in the next moment, his vitality retracted. Under the astonished gazes of everyone, a silver-white skeleton frame with a golden shimmer was revealed.
Buzz! The moment the skeleton frame appeared, a terrifying and suffocating aura instantly radiated out. In an instant, all the powerful members of the Demon Tribe felt a weight in their hearts, as if a giant mountain was pressing down on them, making even breathing extremely difficult.
“How could this be... this pressure... it’s the Demon Lord, the pressure of the Demon Lord…”
All the members of the Demon Tribe were filled with dread as they looked up in horror at the Skeleton Helmsman, their eyes reflecting boundless fear.
The Demon Lord! The leader of the Demon Tribe, the unrivaled leader of the Demon Continent. It could be said that all members of the Demon Tribe under heaven had to obey the orders of the Demon Lord. Now, the aura emanating from the Skeleton Helmsman made their faces turn pale.
How could this person possess the aura of the Demon Lord? Could it be that he is the heir of the Demon Lord?
Once this speculation emerged, all the members of the Demon Tribe stopped breathing. This was a shocking secret; they actually dared to attack the heir of the Demon Lord, which was a tremendous disrespect.
Even the ancestor of the Ji family, who was engaged in battle with Qin Chen, changed his expression. Drawn by this aura, he momentarily gazed over, and a terrified voice roared in his mind: “Demon Lord?”
“No way!”
But soon, he realized the issue. Suddenly, the aura on Ji Wufa became icy cold, dark demonic energy spreading. In an instant, a chilling aura awakened within him, roaring, “This person is not the Demon Lord; he has only absorbed a part of the Demon Lord's power and possesses some of the Demon Lord's aura. Kill him, we must kill him!”
Hearing the cold command, the Grand Elder and two strong members of the Demon Tribe gritted their teeth and immediately attacked again. A series of violent rumblings echoed as the three joined forces against the Skeleton Helmsman, who kept retreating but continued to laugh heartily.
“Jie jie jie, with just you three waste, do you dare to battle me?” Although the Skeleton Helmsman was at a disadvantage, he showed no signs of fear. The trio's combined strength was indeed formidable; he was no match for them. However, he possessed the power of the Demon Lord's corpse, and his defense far exceeded theirs. Whenever he struck the three, they would be injured, greatly reducing their combat effectiveness.
Yet he was different. No matter how they attacked, they couldn’t even break through his defenses. As the battle continued, there could only be one outcome: the Grand Elder and the others would perish, and he, at most, would only exhaust some vitality.
As for the vitality consumed, as long as he slaughtered those before him and completely devoured them, he wouldn’t just sustain his losses but would instead see a significant rise in his cultivation. This was a risk-free venture, all profit.
“This won't do.”
The trio of Grand Elders broke out in a sweat, knowing the situation was troublesome. They could only turn their gaze to the other side of the battlefield, hoping for some surprises there.
But the result disappointed them. On the other end of the battlefield, a late-stage Martial God elder from the Ji family, along with a group of Ji family experts and ordinary members of the Demon Tribe, was madly besieging Ji Ruyue and Ji Hongchen. But to their shock and anger, Ji Ruyue, a recent breakthrough to the mid-stage Martial God, demonstrated strength far beyond their expectations. Armed with the Sealing Sword and activating the Heavenly Sword Bloodline, her combat power surged, single-handedly battling a late-stage Martial God elder without falling behind at all.
On another front, Ji Hongchen, whose cultivation had reached the peak of the mid-stage, was also terrifyingly strong. Although not as defiant as Ji Ruyue, she swept through her opponents, easily overcoming any Martial Gods below the late-stage level.
