Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy

Chapter 843 663: Burning the Hundred Thousand Mountains! (Part 2)

Xiling Mountain Range, Wave Wind Cave.A figure, draped in a five-colored cloak, wearing golden silk bright spirit armor, stepping on green cloud pattern boots, exuding divine radiance all over, yet carrying a cunning and hunched demeanor, paced back and forth within this demon cave.

Yellow Cloud King!

One of the few remaining Demon Kings in the Xiling Mountain Range.

The true form is a yellow rat, adept at treasure searching. With this unique skill, although Yellow Cloud King's cultivation is mediocre, he managed to gather an impressive set of magical treasures.

Relying on these treasures, he holds considerable sway among the current group of demons in Xiling.

"My Lord, could there be some mishap?" a white rat demon, leaning on a wooden staff, darted his eyes around and whispered.

"Mishap? What mishap could there be? Could it be that the Fire Spirit Saint Mother has returned?" With a glare, Yellow Cloud King was about to scold this doomsayer servant, but then a panicked figure rushed in, tumbling and scrambling from outside the cave.

"My Lord! Something big has happened!"

"Panic and disorder, what's the matter? Speak clearly!" Veins bulged on his forehead, Yellow Cloud King suppressed his anger.

"Fire...fire! A great fire outside, enveloping the mountains and fields, endless, spreading towards our Wave Wind Cave!" The terrified rat demon gulped several times before managing to articulate.

"Fire?"

Upon hearing this, Yellow Cloud King and the white rat demon exchanged a glance subconsciously.

Oh damn...could it really be that the Fire Spirit Saint Mother has returned?

"You damned doomsayer!"

With a swing of his sleeve, he swept the white rat demon against the wall, spewing blood from his mouth, and Yellow Cloud King transformed into a yellow whirlwind, swiftly shooting out from the Wave Wind Cave, reaching the mountain peak, squinting his small, bean-sized eyes at the surrounding mountains.

At this moment, what appeared before him was a scene like the advent of apocalypse.

Infernos of infinite scale raged all over the mountains and fields, surging and overwhelming the sky like untamed beasts, threatening to devour the entire world.

The intense crimson color drenched in blood-like hue painted everything in sight into a sea of blood, making the glaring light too dazzling to look at.

The blazing fire ocean resembled a stormy sea, each wave towering violently, carrying a force to annihilate everything.

Wherever it passed, even the imposing mountains had no choice but to collapse and succumb to ashes amidst this furious inferno, leaving behind only desolate scorched earth.

And amidst this mighty ocean of fire, a series of imposing figures were jointly stepping through the air.

They rode on red fire black scale jiaos stretching thousands of feet, the dragons burning in fierce devilish fire, as if emerging from hell's abyss.

These Fire Dragon Soldiers were clad in black armor, the eerie light flickering from the armor reflected by the fire, wielding long spears, the gleaming weapon tips interplaying with the fire, adding a menacing aura.

Their blood-red eyes emanated endless slaughter and madness, as though filled with hatred and desire for destruction towards everything in the world.

They surged relentlessly from the fire, like never-ending tides.

The terrifying aura of slaughter spread, seemingly becoming tangible, suffocating those around.

Where this aura reached, even space seemed to twist, as if all heavens and the myriad worlds were trembling under this immense oppressive force, fearing a horrific massacre was imminent, plunging the entire world into endless despair and panic.

"It's the Saint Mother's three thousand Fire Dragon Soldiers, she...has she truly returned?"

Staring blankly at the ocean of fire before him, Yellow Cloud King was bewildered. The Fire Spirit Saint Mother left the palace after a three-year siege, and the Demon Kings of the Xiling Mountain Range had presumed this ancestor had perished in Central Earth.

But now, the sudden appearance of the three thousand Fire Dragon Soldiers, which only the Fire Spirit Saint Mother could command, and the reckless mountain-burning.

There was only one explanation for such actions.

That is, the Fire Spirit Saint Mother not only returned but also learned of their plan to forcibly enter the Holy Palace to loot treasures.

This was a reckoning!

His legs went weak, and Yellow Cloud King fell to the ground, eyes trembling, cold sweat oozing, facing the overwhelming inferno, unable to muster even the thought or strength to resist.

No way to resist; resisting would only result in more grievous suffering when facing the reckoning of a Primordial Spirit Demon Ancestor.

"Yellow Cloud was misled by deceitful people, driven by greed and greed, I beg the Saint Mother, considering my years of service, spare my life!" Kneeling down, Yellow Cloud King disregarded his dignity as a demon king of the cave, frantically kowtowing for mercy, hoping to save his life.

"Ho ho, good rat, why are you so polite upon first meeting, please stand up, I haven't prepared any red envelopes."

As Yellow Cloud King awaited the Saint Mother's judgment with trepidation, a crisp, hearty male laughter suddenly rang out.

His expression stiffened, Yellow Cloud King frowned and looked up, only to see a young Daoist in a wide-sleeved robe standing amidst the clouds, smiling down at him.

"You..."

Suddenly rising to stare at Qi Xiu, Yellow Cloud King was about to question aloud but abruptly sensed something amiss.

No, this disturbance indeed was the Saint Mother's Fire Dragon Soldiers, but how could this person command such fierce troops, unless...

Before Yellow Cloud King could finish the thought, Qi Xiu, sitting cross-legged in the clouds, gradually withdrew the smile from his face, pointed down at Wave Wind Cave.

"Crush them!"

Boom—

Before Qi Xiu's words fell, the Fire Dragon Soldiers deep within the inferno suddenly raised their heads, the murderous glint in their eyes intensified monstrously by a billion times, transforming into dragon whirlwinds sweeping the heavens, surging with a world-annihilating force.

Rumble—

It was as if a Great World of Divine Fire opened, endless divine fire filled the heavens and earth, the entire void exploded, all matter turned to ashes, the divine fire surged overwhelmingly, shaking the whole mountain range.

Swish—

In the face of these Fire Dragon Soldiers, Yellow Cloud King at the Demon King Realm could not withstand even a breath, and the numerous treasures he had accumulated merely flickered twice before vanishing.

With Yellow Cloud King's death, the entire Wave Wind Cave was engulfed by the fire sea, hundreds of great and small demons turned to dust, utterly cleansed.

Watching the incinerated Wave Wind Cave, Qi Xiu folded his sleeves, his expression calm, seated on the cloud, continuing to guide the boundless fire sea and the three thousand Fire Dragon Soldiers forward.

And at this moment, the Divine Fire Mark on Qi Xiu's hand, shaped by Zhu Rong God, was glowing brightly.

Everything consumed by this boundless fire sea transformed into a divine power, absorbed by him.

Glancing at his hand, Qi Xiu's mouth slightly curved, seemingly unconcerned by this barely noticeable change.

...

Calamity History Year Twenty-nine.

The Human Clan's True Venerable, carrying a treasure, heads to the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, intending to eradicate all Demonic Evil Cultivators, to remove this malignant tumor from the Tianyuan Main Realm!

This news, once released, stirred tremendous waves in Central Earth.

After all, the Dao Alliance's operation was not announced in advance, and this sudden official declaration was evidently profound in its meaning.

Under the acquiescence and even direction of the upper levels of the Human Race, this news rapidly spread across the entire Human Race domain, major sect aristocracies, and even middle-to-low-level cultivators of loose sects and common folk, began to gradually recognize the Dao Alliance.

Understanding that above their heads, such a secret and massive organization silently protected them.

Not hesitating to cross oceans to reach the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, the demon lair, to completely annihilate those Demonic Evil Cultivators persistently harassing the Human Race.

And as the public sentiment surged, the momentum became inevitable.

An almost imperceptible force began to burst forth from every member of the Human Race, gradually accumulating and gathering.

Eventually transforming into a turbulent, magnificent golden river, surging into the void, reaching where the Dao Alliance resided.
