Lu Chen's mouth bled miserably,
but facing such a scene,
he could only roar to the sky in fury, "Damn Hell's Gate! You are truly the eternal sinners of the Mortal Realm!"
If it weren't for Hell's Gate releasing the Demon Race,
how could the Mortal Realm have fallen to such a state?
Moreover, now everyone knew,
the reason the Mortal Realm could not ascend to godhood
was entirely because those from Hell's Gate destroyed the God-tier Heaven-Earth Essence Vein,
causing the loss of cultivation environment!
Everyone’s hatred toward Hell’s Gate had reached an unprecedented level in history.Seeing the Demon Saints surrounding him,
Lu Chen let out a loud roar,
charging at a powerful Demon Saint who could fight across realms,
while his body began to swell.
"I’d rather self-destruct than become your food!"
Not only that, he intended to take down a Demon Saint with him before dying.
However, at that moment,
an irresistible force suddenly descended,
suppressing his swollen body back down.
"Damn it, I can’t even self-destruct?"
Lu Chen despaired.
Seeing this,
all the Demon Saints nearby erupted in even more rampant laughter.
"Flame Fist!"
But the next instant,
a gigantic fiery fist imprint tore across the void,
blazing and scorching, drowning everything in dazzling flames.
Lu Chen watched in shock,
all the Demon Saints attacking him were incinerated to ashes!
"Who? Is it someone from the Chu family?"
In the Mortal Realm, only a few could possess such strength, likely just the powerful Chu family!
Sure enough,
a figure burning with flames strode out of the void,
on his chest the garment bore a "Chu" character guarded by a True Dragon!
"He really is from the Chu family!"
"Have they finally emerged from seclusion?"
Everyone knew,
this time the Chu family’s emergence
very likely would give rise to a Martial God,
and all difficulties would then be easily resolved!
"They have not fully emerged yet!"
Chu Yan answered as he approached.
"Who are you, sir?"
"Chu Yan, son of Chu Jingyue!"
Startled, Lu Chen quickly cupped his fists in salute: "So it is the young master of the Chu family, my apologies for the disrespect!"
Chu Yan returned the gesture: "No need for formalities, senior. Your wounds are severe, better go heal. Leave this place to me!"
Seeing the power the other had just displayed,
Lu Chen did not hesitate,
only warned, "Young Master Chu, be careful. Some Demon Saints here possess the power to fight across realms; even Martial Emperors must be cautious!"
He could not perceive the other’s full strength,
but since he had just suppressed Lu Chen’s self-destruction,
his power was definitely superior,
so he could only give this reminder.
"Rest assured, senior, I understand!"
Chu Yan nodded earnestly,
looking at the Demon Saints in the distance: "Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance. I have suppressed my cultivation to Martial Saint perfection. Come, let me see how strong you demons really are!"
He did not unleash Martial God or Martial Emperor cultivation,
instead choosing to fight at Martial Saint perfection,
a testament to his confidence.
"Arrogant! Mere humans dare to belittle us Demon Race?"
"Today, we’ll show you the terror of the Demon Race!"
As soon as Chu Yan finished speaking,
a Void Demon suddenly appeared above him,
its fists wrapped in demonic energy slammed toward Chu Yan’s head.
Lu Chen, who had just retreated a short distance, watched anxiously,
this was the son of the Chu family clan leader,
if anything happened to him, Tai Xuan Sect could not bear the consequences!
Just as he thought this,
he saw Chu Yan punch upward, shattering one of the opponent’s arms,
then without hesitation grabbed the demon’s head,
crushing it like squeezing a stone until it exploded!
"Such powerful combat strength!"
Lu Chen exclaimed in admiration.
The Void Demons were incredibly strong,
rumored to have Demon Lord-level warriors among them,
so their bloodline was powerful,
and their combat ability extraordinary!
They possessed strength capable of challenging Martial Emperors,
but in front of Chu Yan, they could not even withstand a single move!
"That’s right, the opponent has Martial Emperor-level strength, and Chu Yan also has that strength—actually stronger, which is why he crushed him so thoroughly!"
Thinking this,
Lu Chen exhaled in relief,
retreating fully to the rear.
With such a strong warrior guarding, no Demon Race could break through his defenses.
After he left,
Chu Yan began to rampage among the demons at Martial Saint level, slaughtering wildly.
His violent power soared,
turning vast lands into seas of fire,
causing countless demons to die by his hand!
In just half a month,
the name Flame Emperor began to resonate within the Demon Race,
he dominated all demons with overwhelming and tyrannical posture.
"Claims to be the Flame Emperor?"
"Master of the Nine Heavenly Flames?"
"Hmph, just some heavenly flames, not even divine fire, yet dares to treat it as his invincible capital?"
"If so, then let’s see how strong he really is!"
Some Demon Saint prodigies scoffed disdainfully,
the foundation of their Demon Race was incomparable to mere humans of the Mortal Realm!
If talking about heavenly flames,
their Demon World had countless heavenly flames nurtured over endless ages,
so these trivial flames were not worth their attention!
Immediately, they rushed toward Chu Yan’s location,
swearing to kill this arrogant human on the spot.
...
Inside the Dragon Emperor Palace,
watching Chu Yan’s unstoppable slaughter of demons, Long Yuan nodded,
the other’s combat power was indeed formidable,
especially his body tempered by the Nine Heavenly Flames and Divine Fire,
becoming extremely tough!
Then he asked the Moon Goddess and the other, "Do you know what kind of race the Elven Clan is?"
He was curious if the Primordial Ancient Realm was truly part of their world!
"Elven Clan?"
The Moon Goddess shook her head: "Never heard of such a race!"
"Could it be that none of the Thirty-Three Heavens in ancient times had such beings?"
Long Yuan asked.
"No! Never heard of it!"
"Neither in the past nor now has our world had anything but the Demon Race, the Demon Clan, and the Human Race!"
"There is no so-called Elven Clan!"
"Where did you hear about this Elven Clan?" the Moon Goddess asked.
"Nothing much, just a rumored race I heard about,"
Long Yuan’s answer made the Moon Goddess show surprise.
She had lived countless tens of millions of years but never heard of any Elven Clan.
Now she increasingly suspected Long Yuan might be a reincarnated strong cultivator whose memories were awakening.
While absorbing cultivation rewards from the system,
Long Yuan gazed at the Mortal Realm.
The current Mortal Realm was truly a pitiful sight.
Inside the barrier, it was tolerable,
many Martial Emperors barely holding the line,
but outside the barrier was a mountain of corpses and rivers of blood.
The Demon Race was truly bloody and brutal,
devouring other living beings alive like wild beasts.
Half of the Mortal Realm was a field of wails and lamentations,
the air thick with bloodstains and sorrow!
"These demons have even caged some humans and demons, are they planning sustainable exploitation?"
Long Yuan’s gaze penetrated layers of space,
seeing some humans caged by the Demon Race.
Clearly, they did not want humans and demons to be completely wiped out quickly,
but rather to keep them for slow enjoyment later!
"Since that’s the case, let the Chu family come out and rescue those people then!"
As for himself, he would never intervene,
unless trouble arose the Chu family could not handle!
But just then,
the system’s voice rang out again.
"Damn, I haven’t fully absorbed the last mission reward of 2.7 million years of cultivation, and the system reward has come again?"
