Chapter 241 Chongming Bird Totem, Chongming Divine Fire!
Chapter 241 Chongming Bird Totem, Chongming Divine Fire!
Not long after, on the battlefield.
“Ancient King, I have already taken this Emperor-level essence. You can put this guy into the Abyss of Fiends for now. We can share the benefits after we leave.”
Zu Qingyun had already taken away the essence of the Sea-Splitting Demon Emperor, while the Black Dragon Emperor was devouring its own flesh and blood right in front of all humans, disregarding its own image.
"Black Dragon, that's enough! Look at your pathetic eating habits."
The Kunlun Demon Lord looked at the Black Dragon Emperor with disdain, just as the latter had mocked him before.
"You white fox, you talk too much nonsense. Believe me, your Dragon Grandpa can spit you to death with one spit!"
Seeing these two idiots still embarrassing themselves here, the Ancient King directly created a Chaos Gate under their feet and threw them all back into the Abyss of Evil.
"You two have gone too far. You can be shameless, but I was once a king who ruled over the six directions and eight wastelands. It would really lower my status to walk with you."
Immediately following, a string of curses came from the other side of the Gate of Chaos; the curses were clearly very vulgar.
Zu Qingyun had already arrived at the corpse of the Sea King Skeleton. Although the flesh and blood of this thing were of no use to the Ancient King and the others, he knew very well that this Sea King Skeleton was no ordinary creature.
"Hey, aren't you leaving yet? I hate to say this, but I have a feeling that if we stay here, these ungrateful humans will probably unleash a forbidden spell on us."
The ancient king's voice echoed across the battlefield, and upon hearing this, the pale-faced military strategist and the three peak-level warriors all twitched slightly.
Human ingrates, unleash a forbidden spell to beat you two!
Good heavens, really good heavens, they never imagined that humans would be seen this way by these demons.
"It's alright. Their higher-ups are probably still in a daze. Besides, with our strength, let alone forbidden spell mages, even if that old bastard, the Southern Emperor, came here, he'd get slapped by us."
Zu Qingyun didn't care at all, and Old King Gu felt that what he said made sense.
However, when the military mages guarding the city heard their casual conversation, they felt their worldview crumble.
Soon, Zu Qingyun easily tore open the spine of the Sea King Skeleton using his sharp claws.
Immediately following, a spine radiating terrifying fire elemental energy burst forth and shot into the sky.
"Little one, come back!"
But then Zu Qingyun waved his hand and directly grasped the bone, which was radiating towering crimson flames, in his palm.
"Huh? What is this? How did it end up inside the spine of the Sea King's skull?"
The ancient king was puzzled, but he also sensed that the aura was somewhat familiar.
"Old man, you're really getting senile. These are the bones of the totem beast, the Chongming Bird. It must have perished in the sea a hundred years ago while helping humans fight against the sea monster, and then it just happened to be swallowed by the Sea King Skeleton."
The military mages who overheard Zu Qingyun and the ancient king's conversation felt an itch in their heads, as if something was about to grow out of them.
"The Phoenix? I remember now. This totem beast had a pretty good relationship with the Azure Dragon back then. It was known as the Phoenix of Immortality. No wonder it still retains such spirituality even after so many years of death."
Hearing him say this, Zu Qingyun nodded. Then he placed the bone directly on his chest.
"I'll give you a chance. If you work for me, the benefits will be great. If you don't work for me, I'll send you to see your great-grandmother."
After sensing the power within the Great Ancestor Qingyun, the Chongming Bird initially intended to resist, but upon discovering that he was actually human, it happily burrowed inside.
"Screech—!!"
A loud cry suddenly soared into the sky, and a swarm of crimson birds, darkening the sky, enveloped the entire horizon.
Finally, all the light converged on Zu Qingyun, and with the blessing of the Heavenly Seed Flame and the Chongming Divine Fire brought to him by the Chongming Bird, his aura became much heavier, reaching the same level as the Ancient King, the peak of the intermediate emperor!
A crimson-gold Chongming bird tattoo appeared on his chest, adding a touch of domineering power to his already "handsome" appearance.
"call--!"
"The fire left behind by the Chongming Bird seems quite good. In the human worldview, it should be considered a celestial flame."
While Zu Qingyun and Gu Laowang were chatting, the military mages also overheard their conversation.
Heavenly Flame? That's a divine object!
But now it's none of their business whether it's a divine object or not, since it's all been swallowed up by others. What can you do about it?
"Alright, the human forbidden spellcasters are probably arriving soon. If we don't leave soon, we might run into them."
Upon hearing Zu Qingyun's words, the old king nodded.
"Let's go. The spoils this time are pretty good, but if we want to break through to the roof of the high-level emperor world, mid-level emperor demons probably won't be enough for us."
With that, the two of them stepped straight into the Gate of Chaos before them.
Upon hearing their last words, the military mages felt a chill run down their spines.
The mid-level demons are no longer enough to satisfy their appetites, does that mean their next target is the high-level emperors of the roof of the world?
Although they narrowly escaped this time, it still couldn't hide the despair in their hearts.
The Emperor-level demons were simply too powerful, and what they didn't expect was that the Emperor-level demons would actually join forces!
Black Dragon Emperor Austin, Underworld Emperor Ancient King, Kunlun Demon Lord Nine-Tailed Fox, and an unknown Emperor-level demon—if one day these four Emperor-level demons were to attack humanity, could they truly withstand them?
Meanwhile, Mo Fan, sitting in the helicopter, felt a chill run down his spine after witnessing this violent spectacle.
The Emperor-level demon is terrifying! They originally thought that the octopus emperor could at least last for a while, but they did not expect that under the combined attack of Zu Qingyun, the Ancient King, the Black Dragon Emperor and the Kunlun Demon Lord, the opponent did not last even three minutes.
However, Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou were still very relieved, after all, they knew that these four emperors were on the side of humanity.
"Monkey, let's hurry up and improve our strength, otherwise when the war really starts, we probably won't even be good enough to be cannon fodder."
With the departure of Zu Qingyun and the Ancient King, all that remained was a limestone ground leveled by the Black Dragon Emperor Long Yan and the surging sea in the distance.
Meanwhile, inside an abandoned building. (End of Chapter)
