Chapter 416 Has the Demon Lord Awakened?

The silver wolf's massive form continued to shrink, becoming as small as a pet. When Granny Yue E pulled it closer, it was no larger than a dog, standing about half a person's height.

"Roar!!! No! This isn't real! How could I become like this?"

The silver wolf cried out in agony, its eyes filled with terror. Its limbs thrashed wildly on the ground, attempting to escape Granny Yue E.

"Save me! Save me quickly! I, Silver Wolf, will surely repay you handsomely!"

The silver wolf begged Yuan Shou and Tian Hu for help. It was truly terrified and filled with dread. As a overlord-level powerhouse, it had been subdued by Granny Yue E without any resistance, demonstrating the terrifying extent of her power. If she wished to kill it, it would likely be a simple matter of a single move.

"Fairy Yue, do you truly intend to make an irreconcilable enemy of my Myriad Beasts Mountain?! Today, Myriad Beasts Mountain has already lost one overlord. If another falls, it will surely alarm our slumbering ancestors, and when they awaken, humanity will be plunged into misery!"

Yuan Shou roared, its eyes bloodshot and its tone filled with fury. Silver Wolf, an overlord of Myriad Beasts Mountain, was being dragged like a pet by Fairy Yue. How could it not be enraged? This was an insult to its Myriad Beasts Mountain!

However, it did not impulsively attack this time. Granny Yue E's strength was too formidable; continuing to fight would only lead to self-inflicted suffering. Now, its only recourse was to threaten the opponent with its ancestors, who had yet to awaken.

"Heh, are you threatening me?"

Granny Yue E cast a casual glance at Yuan Shou. Then, she swung her long whip fiercely, and a terrifying force surged into the silver wolf's body.

"No!!!"

The silver wolf shrieked, its voice extremely piercing, but it was immediately cut short. It was dead!

At this moment, the entire battlefield fell silent. All living beings watched this scene, their eyes filled with shock.

Another overlord had fallen!

The demon race had held the advantage in today's battle, with their overall strength crushing that of humanity. Yet, in the end, two overlords had fallen. Such a thing was unimaginable if not witnessed firsthand.

"Silver Wolf!!!"

Yuan Shou roared, its eyes instantly turning red. It never expected Fairy Yue to act so decisively, killing an overlord with such ease!

"Flee!!!"

Immediately after, Yuan Shou came to its senses. Fairy Yue's strength was too terrifying. If she could casually annihilate Silver Wolf, she could also kill it and Tian Hu.

"Whoosh!"

Without looking back, the two overlords fled towards Myriad Beasts Mountain. At this moment, they had no other thoughts but to escape and preserve their own lives.

"Kill!!! Kill the demon race! Avenge them!"

At this time, the strong fighters on the human side also reacted, shouting excitedly. The demon overlords had fled. If they didn't press their advantage now, when would they?

"Kill!!! Avenge them!!!"

On the battlefield, countless Da Qin warriors roared, their faces flushed as they charged towards the demon beast army. Too many had died today, and they sought revenge! They would kill all the demon race.

The demon beast army's morale had already collapsed. The overlords had fled, and some領主-level beast emperors had also fled. The usually powerful beast emperors were now desperately fleeing.

The demon beasts had no will to resist and could only scramble towards Myriad Beasts Mountain in a desperate escape.

"Hahaha, exhilarating! Exhilarating!!!"

Jian Lin laughed heartily. Today's battle had seen too many twists and turns. Several times, humanity had nearly been annihilated. But now, the demon overlords had fled, and humanity had achieved a great victory!

"Kill! Annihilate these beasts! They dare to invade human territory, they must be punished!!!"

A human powerhouse roared, charging into the beast horde and slaughtering them.

It could be imagined that after this battle, Myriad Beasts Mountain's strength would be greatly diminished. At least until the Heaven-level powerhouses of Myriad Beasts Mountain awakened, Da Qin would not have to worry about demon beast incursions.

"Cough, cough, Xiaotian greets you, Elder. You've troubled yourself for me again."

At this moment, Li Xiaotian approached Granny Yue E. He had not participated in the battle, as he had very little fighting strength and was extremely weak.

"Hmph, if it weren't for Qingmei's sake, do you think I would be so kind?"

Granny Yue E spoke, her expression as placid as ever. Then, a sharp glint flashed in her eyes as she scrutinized Li Xiaotian, before continuing.

"Li Xiaotian, has the Demon Lord awakened?"

"What?!!"

Li Xiaotian was startled, but quickly concealed his expression. He knew that she had already guessed that he had inherited the Demon Lord's legacy.

In fact, after Li Xiaotian had killed the Black Dragon with his Emperor-level strength this time, he knew that his possession of the Demon Lord's legacy could not be kept secret. However, the situation had been extremely dangerous at the time, leaving him with no choice. If he had obtained the Demon Lord's legacy, it could explain things.

If the outside world knew that he had obtained everything from the Demon Lord, and knew that the Demon Lord had indeed fallen, then he would surely attract the attention of the powerhouse who killed the Demon Lord, putting him in great danger.

"Elder, this junior did indeed inherit the Demon Lord's legacy, but I am unsure if the Demon Lord has awakened. After entering the Demon Lord's slumbering place, a great deal of information suddenly appeared in my mind, including the Demon Lord's cultivation techniques."

Li Xiaotian replied, his expression somewhat apprehensive.

"No wonder! The Demon Lord, in ancient times, was neither entirely righteous nor evil. Although he was human, he never participated in the great battles between humanity and the demon race. However, his strength was undoubtedly formidable. In an era when top-tier powerhouses rarely appeared, he was considered one of the most elite experts!"

Granny Yue E spoke unhurriedly and then continued.

"Since you have obtained his cultivation techniques, you are by all rights his disciple. There is something you need to be aware of: the Demon Lord had too many enemies in ancient times. If those enemies learn of you, you may face considerable trouble in the future!"

Li Xiaotian's heart tightened, but he shook his head slightly. Compared to the shadowy figure who killed the Demon Lord, the Demon Lord's other enemies were merely defeated foes. Just as the Demon Lord could suppress them in the past, he could too!

"This junior will be mindful! Thank you for the reminder, Elder."

Li Xiaotian responded, his heart completely fearless.

"No need to thank me. Hmph, I'm just worried that Qingmei and her daughter will become a widowed mother and daughter."

Granny Yue E said with a cold expression, then her figure instantly vanished.

"Alas, Elder, wait a moment!!"

Seeing this, Li Xiaotian hurriedly called out. He had been so focused on thanking her that he had not yet had a chance to ask about his wife and daughter.

"What is it now? Speak quickly!"

As soon as Li Xiaotian finished speaking, Granny Yue E reappeared before him, startling him. She moved so mysteriously that he hadn't even detected her arrival.

"Elder, how are Qingmei and our daughter now?"

Li Xiaotian asked urgently. Previously, due to the matter of the Blood Son and the demon race of Myriad Beasts Mountain, he had not contacted his wife and daughter. Moreover, Ye Qingmei and her daughter were in seclusion and breakthrough. Thus, he had not contacted them for half a month.

"Heh heh, Qingmei is doing very well; she has already broken through to the late stage of Emperor rank. As for Tiantian, our little daughter has endured hardship and has already reached King rank cultivation."

Upon mentioning Ye Qingmei and her daughter, a rare smile appeared on Granny Yue E's face, unlike her usual demeanor.
