Chapter 1029: A Challenge in the Way

Chapter 1029 A Challenge in the Way

When the breeze blew, the grass swayed like the sea.

In the middle of the spring, most of the land in the south of the Northern Region had regained its green color. The hinterland grassland was the largest grassland in the Northern Region. Within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles, low hills and shallow basins occupied most of the grassland. The two-meter-tall weeds rose and fell in the wind, which was quite beautiful.

If one looked down from the sky, one could find that the wide grassland was as beautiful as a green wave.

Three days had passed since the earth-shattering battle of the True Phoenix City. Almost all the forces of the Demon Clan who tried to stop the wedding of the century had been wiped out. The so-called con-alliance was basically unable to withstand a single blow.

In particular, the Heavenly Demon Temple suffered heavy losses.

!!

Not only had they lost more than 20 elite experts from their temple, but they had also lost dozens of forces that supported them. They had also caused countless spectators to switch sides to the Immortal Phoenix Palace and the Demon God Palace, causing the Heavenly Demon Temple's status and prestige in the Demon Clan in the Northern Region to suffer a huge blow.

The news of this battle spread quickly among the Demon Clan in the Northern Region, causing a great shock.

At this time, Ding Hao and Xie Jieyu started to go back to the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.

Since the two of them had gotten married, there would not be many problems in the alliance between the Immortal Phoenix Palace and the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. As long as they had a tacit understanding of the power of the Land of Divine Grace, they could awe many people. As for the Demon God Palace, Ding Ding patted her chest and said that she would deal with this matter.

The Heaven-exterminating Flame Army swept across the sky with great momentum.

In front of the Canopy Metal Carriage, Ding Hao was sitting on the shaft of the carriage. The strong wind blew the banner. He was holding his newlywed wife in his arms with a faint smile on his face. He was very relaxed.

Riding on the Metal-fire Horses, the Vast Ocean physical cultivators looked awe-inspiring.

On the periphery, there were also the three Demon Kings, Golden Eagle, Demon King with Magical Eyes, and One-legged Ox King to send the bride. The previous rumor that Ding Hao was a live-in son-in-law was naturally impossible. The Great Phoenix Saint did not ask for too much in this aspect. After the wedding, she allowed the new couple to go back to the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, and also gave them a lot of dowries, which were rare treasures, and they were personally escorted by the three Demon Kings.

Such a team flew rapidly in the void with great momentum and attracted the attention of countless people. When they passed by the territories of some demon forces, there would be demon experts coming up to congratulate them and give gifts to them in a very respectful manner.

This was the influence of the battle in True Phoenix City.

According to various legends in the Northern Region, the Great Phoenix Saint was very powerful, but people did not have a clear concept of how powerful she was. In this battle, the Great Phoenix Saint directly challenged the Heavenly Demon Ancestor, which made the giant of the Demon Clan retreat. Instantly, the Great Phoenix Saint's reputation was pushed to the peak, which made the major forces of the Demon Clan in the Northern Region shocked as they showed a posture of surrender.

The phenomenon of respect for the strong in the Demon Clan was more obvious than that in the Human Clan.

Along the way, Ding Hao and Xie Jieyu had already met more than 300 leaders of demon forces, big and small. They accepted the gifts that were too many for them. Xie Jieyu didn't care about these things, but Ding Hao didn't refuse them. He simply accepted them all the way.

Of course, Ding Hao did not accept the gifts blindly.

Every time he met the forces of the Demon Clan, he would be very patient to chat with them and get some information about them. He would give them some small things in return. In his smart way of dealing with the host, they would have a nice talk and part happily in the end.

Along the way, Ding Hao finally had a clear understanding of the situation of the Demon Clan in the Northern Region.

Wherever he went, many legends about the son-in-law of the Immortal Phoenix Palace were spread. Most of them were extremely positive. Most people said that Ding Hao was a top elite. His strength was unfathomable, and he was extremely modest and polite. He did not look down on the Demon Clan and was a very special human.

This was one of the few phenomena in history that a human could get such a high evaluation within the range of the Demon Clan.

It was enough to show the high status of the Great Phoenix Saint and Immortal Phoenix Palace.

Ding Hao naturally had his own ideas.

When he passed by some territory of the Demon Clan and saw the Divine Grace mercenaries attacking and killing demons several times, he would order the Vast Ocean physical cultivators to help the demons. Golden Eagle and the other two Demon Kings were also duty-bound to help, and they also gained some gratitude from the demons.

Therefore, the legend about the son-in-law of Immortal Phoenix Palace became even more exaggerated.

Later, some people said that Ding Hao had half of the blood of the Demon Clan in his body, and he had a part of the physique of the Demon Clan. As for the Human King Transformation he had performed when he transformed into the Evil White Ape, it became a part of the evidence. Countless demons firmly believed that Ding Hao was actually a member of the Demon Clan.

Actually, such rumors were of great importance to the Demon Clan's acceptance of Ding Hao's identity.

Since Ding Hao had part of the blood of the Demon Clan, it was acceptable for them that he married their Holy Goddess.

With Ding Hao's strong strength, his ability to make friends, and his personality charm, everything was going well for him.

The group of people had been stopping and going on their way, which slowed down their speed.

It took them about ten days to get out of the Demon Clan's area.

News kept coming from the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect and the Immortal Phoenix Palace through special channels to Ding Hao. The movements of the entire Northern Region were in his mind. Generally speaking, the situation was getting more and more serious, because forces from the Land of Divine Grace appeared one after another. As time passed, not only the mercenaries but also the super forces from the Land of Divine Grace also appeared.

The army of God's Palace also showed up on the continent.

This was a hardhearted army that was far more terrible than mercenaries.

According to the news from the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, the vanguards of the Southern Heavenly Army of the God's Palace had landed in the area that connected the Northern Region with the Divine Central Continent. Hundreds of human sects and demon forces in that area were almost destroyed in one day and night like weed being eradicated by the power of the God's Palace.

Among them, there was a super sect of the Human Clan, Valley Rain Chamber, and a top force of the Demon Clan, Mount Green Fox.

The Valley Rain Chamber also had an extremely long history. Although its status in the Northern Region could not be compared with the top sects such as the Blue Cloud Sect, the River Palace, and the Extermination Swordsmanship Sect, it could definitely be regarded as a top force among the second-class sects, but it did not cause any damage.

It was said that the master of the Valley Rain Chamber, a God Realm Master who had been famous for a long time, would rather die than surrender. He didn't want to submit and fail his ancestors. In the end, he was burned alive on a fire pillar by an executioner of God's Palace.

The ending of a top force of the Demon Clan, Mount Green Fox, was even worse.

Tens of thousands of Fox Race experts were skinned alive and robbed of their elixirs. Their fur was made into armors, and their inner elixirs were turned into the ingredients for refining pills and making herbs. Their bones and blood were all used as materials. The Green Fox Demon God was no match for the experts of God's Palace. He was seriously injured and escaped, nowhere to be found.

The power and cruelty of the God's Palace shocked the area within a radius of millions of miles.

According to the news from all sides, this was just the beginning.

It was said that a huge transmission space gate appeared in the sky of that area. The God's Palace Army rushed toward the world endlessly like a tide. The mountain gate of the Valley Rain Chamber and the Mount Green Fox became the temporary station of the God's Palace Army.

With these two areas as the center, countless mountains were flattened, countless rivers and lakes were pushed down, and countless forests were cut off. The God's Palace built buildings in this area, trained troops, and marched horses ceaselessly. Obviously, they were preparing for the next expansion.

There came even more desperate news.

In the great regions such as the Southern Wilderness, the Eastern Frontier, and the Western Desert, there were also super armies from the Land of Divine Grace that descended. The great armies of the Beast Clan, the Sea Clan, and the Feather Clan all descended into this world.

Wherever these horrifying forces went, they destroyed almost all the living forces of the Land of Infinity. Huge cities fell one after another. Some creatures of the Land of Infinity, who had seen some hope in the battle against the mercenaries, fell into the most terrible darkness in an instant.

Fortunately, the Land of Infinity was so vast that it was really shocking. It was said that even immortals couldn't travel all around it, so the super forces of the Land of Divine Grace couldn't conquer it completely in a short time.

They could only expand their own ruling area step by step. If they didn't spend a hundred years, they couldn't completely occupy this world.

This gave the creatures of the Land of Infinity time to catch their breath and resist.

The latest news that Ding Hao received was that the God's Palace Army had shown signs of heading east. From the mountain gate of the Valley Rain Chamber to the east, the largest force in the Land of Infinity within a radius of a million miles was the Blue Cloud Sect, known as the largest human sect in the Northern Region.

Obviously, the target of the God's Palace was the Blue Cloud Sect.

"God's Palace wants to destroy the Blue Cloud Sect in one fell swoop. By wiping out the biggest kung fu/martial arts human sect in the Northern Region and completely destroying the Human Clan's confidence, God's Palace will make the humans in the region lose their leader and divide them!"

Ding Hao made a judgment.

This was definitely not a good sign.

If the war broke out, even if the Blue Cloud Sect could hold on for some time, it would definitely not be able to escape the fate of being exterminated. If the masters of the Blue Cloud Sect defended the mountain gate, their whole family would be destroyed. No force in the entire Northern Region could fight against the Land of Divine Grace or God's Palace alone, not even the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost in the Northern Region, unless all the superpowers joined forces.

Ding Hao took a deep breath and outlined the countermeasures in his mind.

No matter what, they could not withdraw in the defensive war of the Blue Cloud Sect. Even if they did not have a relationship with the fat man Song Que, the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect could not stay out of it.

Just as Ding Hao was deep in thought, the flying army suddenly stopped.

Right after that, there came a loud cry of a fierce fight.

Then, a powerful and violent power of Demon Aura swept over. This power was extremely powerful. It was not like the decaying power of the Second Heavenly Demon. Instead, it was full of vitality like the rising sun, full of infinite possibilities. The sound of energy collision could be heard. Then, the leading Vast Ocean physical cultivators and the flaming Metal-fire Horses they were riding were directly knocked over and sent flying back.

"Saber and Sword Addict, Ding Hao, come out now!"

A cold and arrogant voice came from the front of the team.
