Chapter 673: The Green Lotus Ancient Lamp
Hao Ren was surprised to see Duan Yao, thinking that it was dangerous for her to appear here in front of the big demon kings who were powerful when she was still weaker than him.
However, it seemed that the three-legged golden bird which she rode on wasn't an ordinary demon beast.
"Ji..." The three-legged bird that Duan Yao rode let out a shrilling-cry.
A sound wave detectable by the naked eye pierced the sea surface and created a slight ripple.
The huge black bull which had rushed to Hao Ren's side was struck by the sound wave, and its iron-like skin was cut open.
Gui Che and Kun Peng who had been fighting in the high sky saw the three-legged bird and shot out two thick demonic light beams at it together.
Ding!
The three feathers on the tail of the three-legged bird lifted slightly, and a red energy sphere engulfed it.
The two different demonic lights were all bounced back.
As a descendant of the godly bird in the ancient Kunlun Mountain, the three-legged bird couldn't change into human form but possessed great powers.
After the nature essence got thinner, many ancient beasts had moved into the Demon Sea, taking big pieces of territories for themselves.
The three-legged bird had come to the Demon Sea a long time ago. Then, it was tamed by Lady Zhen and became her guardian godly beast.
With Duan Yao coming to the battle with the three-legged bird, it meant that Lady Zhen had intervened.
Hua... Suddenly, a big group of green demonic bees swarmed toward the area.
Then, a big wave of fire clouds moved this way from the distance.
Also, a terrifying roar came from one side, frightening away the high-level demon beasts of the outer sea.
In another direction, overwhelming grey shadows swallowed the nature essence of the Demon Sea like dark clouds while moving over.
Several big demon kings in the Demon Sea had come!
Hua! Hua!
Two sea waves rose beside Duan Yao.
A beautiful woman with a snake's body appeared on Duan Yao's left, and a huge man with a horse face appeared on Duan Yao's right.
These two demon kings had wings and looked dominant.
"Hua She! Ying Zhao!"
The nine-headed bird, Gui Che, cried out in surprise as it flew in the high sky.
As the two messengers of Lady Zhen's Heaven-Facing Palace, these two demon kings rarely appeared in the outer sea. However, they were now accompanying a young girl who was riding on the three-legged bird, making everyone wonder about this girl's identity.
Besides the big demon kings, Hao Ren who stood on the golden boat was also astonished.
Only one day ago when Duan Yao left his home, she was at the Core Formation Realm. But now, she was at low-tier Nascent Soul Realm!
One day apart seemed like three years! That was how Hao Ren felt!
More importantly, the two big demon kings whose realms that Hao Ren couldn't detect stood beside Duan Yao, looking very powerful!
"My master has a message for you. If you let him go now, your lives will be spared." Standing up on the back of the three-legged bird, Duan Yao said to the three big demon kings.
The size of the three-legged bird was smaller than Little White's snow lion form and could only carry Duan Yao. Also, her petite figure made her look like a small worm when she talked to the three giants who were as big as mountains.
However, the three big demon kings looked incredulous.
"Lady Zhen had taken a young disciple!"
The Heaven Demon who could defeat these big demon kings without changing into her original form had taken a young disciple!
No one knew what Lady Zhen's original form was since all the big demon kings who had battled her were dead!
In the Demon Sea, Bai Ze, Tao Tie, Tao Wu, Teng She, and Bai Xi were all eternal demon kings. Kun Peng followed Tao Wu, but it had been waiting for a long time to become an eternal demon king due to the lack of opportunities. It was only half a step from this realm.
Including Lady Zhen, there were six eternal demon kings in the Demon Sea. Gui Che and the nine-tailed fox worked with each other and ranked in the lower end of the ten big demon kings due to their skillful techniques.
The last two on the list of top-ten were Qi Qiong and Hou; both ancient fierce beasts had separate territories. Their positions at the end of the rank didn't mean that their strengths were the weakest. They were as powerful as Gui Che and the nine-tailed fox who were a couple.
Due to Lady Zhen's unfathomable strength, her force's name was Purple Sea, and it was the No.1 Force in the Demon Sea, far more powerful than the Five-Colored Sea jointly controlled by Teng She and Bai Xi.
This was why the other eternal demon kings didn't dare to mess with Lady Zhen!
Swoosh! Standing on the back of the three-legged bird, Duan Yao came to Hao Ren's side in the blink of an eye.
She glanced at Hao Ren, but her gaze and expression were cold.
Hua She and Ying Zhao, the two big demon kings, followed and stood behind her.
"Hahaha! Will we fear a little kid?" A deep voice came with a wave of fire clouds.
A mid-aged man with fierce eyes landed on Kun Peng's wide back while a group of weird, green bees surrounded him.
These demonic bees were poisonous, and one sting could kill a level 10 demon beast instantly.
A white light traveled in the sky, and a beautiful woman in white appeared suddenly beside Gui Che, looking at Hao Ren with a smile.
With the ancient green lamp in her hand, Duan Yao repeated, "My master has a message for you. If you let him go, your lives will be spared."
"Brother Kun Peng, don't worry. I'll get the Immortal Pill for you!" The mid-aged man standing on Kun Peng waved his sleeve and said, "It seems that Lady Zhen doesn't think this young cultivator is worth her time!"
"Tao Wu! We must share it. The Immortal Physique is rare, and you can't take it all for yourself," the beautiful woman floating beside Gui Che said suddenly.
"My big brother is on its way here. Do you want to fight with my big brother for the prey?" The huge black bull shook its iron body and roared.
"Zi Tie, you don't qualify to talk to me. Even if Tao Tie is here, I'm not afraid of him!"
While he spoke, the mid-aged man shot out a red ring which broke one horn off the huge black bull and crashed off half of its head!
"Tao Wu, you hit Tao Tie's little brother. Aren't you afraid that Tao Tie will make trouble for you?" The beautiful woman said gloatingly to the mid-aged man on Kun Peng.
The mid-aged man laughed. "Little white fox, your concern is touching! How about coming home with me and becoming my queen? Your husband looks lame!"
Bang!
Gui Che's sharp claws shot out a golden fireball. Although he hadn't reached the realm of eternal demon king, he could cast nine spells at the same time and thus probably wouldn't lose to Tao Wu in a fight!
The beautiful woman in white suddenly turned into thousands of fiery red foxes, each with nine long tails.
While Tao Tie was still on the way, they began to fight fiercely!
It seemed that they felt like Hao Ren was already in the bag, and the only issue was to determine who could get him!
Hao Ren turned the golden boat to the west, but the four demon kings shot out demonic lights.
The demonic lights exploded the spot about ten meters in front of the golden boat, shattering the demon beasts in the deep ocean!
If they didn't want Hao Ren to be alive so that the pill could be more effective, this attack would have turned Hao Ren into dust!
These super powerful demon kings could even kill Soul Formation Realm cultivators easily, let alone Hao Ren who a cultivator at peak Qian-level!
The small demon kings would be exploded immediately by the demonic lights if they ventured into this area!
Shortly, all the demon beasts in this area were killed while the demon beasts within a diameter of 10,000 kilometers had fled!
While the big demon kings battled, even level 10 demon beasts couldn't survive.
They had put four to five energy spheres around Hao Ren, afraid that he would be killed by mistake in the battle, and none would get him!
Standing on the back of the three-legged bird, Duan Yao had two big demon kings protecting her on both sides. Although Hua She and Ying Zhao were not as powerful as Kun Peng, they were well-known big demon kings in the Demon Sea.
Ceng!
Duan Yao suddenly lit up the ancient green lamp.
"Hell Fire!"
The four demon kings who were fighting fiercely suddenly shouted.
"I've delivered my master's message to you. If you let him go, your lives will be spared." Duan Yao blew at the green lamp lightly.
The sparks in the green lamp floated into the high sky.
"Only take demonic souls," Duan Yao said.
The sparks in the high sky grew to limitless heavenly fire.
The four demon kings immediately turned to flee. The lamp was the ancient treasure of the Kunlun Mountain, and it was made to suppress these powerful demon beasts!
Duan Yao brought two fingers together and pointed them at Tao Wu who had fled tens of thousands of meters. The pure fire-elemental nature essence in her body burned like a candle while the green light from the green lamp grew so long that it reached Tao Wu.
Crack!
The green light cut off Tao Wu's right arm and a portion of his black demonic soul.
Gui Che and the nine-tailed fox used their techniques and changed into shadows. However, the burning of the heavenly fire forced them out. Then, two green lights struck them, and they spat out blood and dived into the depth of the ocean with the loss of hundreds of years of cultivation strength.
Kun Peng tried to flee, but Duan Yao shot out three green lights; one on its head and two on its wings. Then, one green light returned with Kun Peng's complete demonic soul!
Pu... The weak flame in the ancient green lamp brightened as if someone put more fuel in it.
"Ok. Now, I'll escort you out of the Demon Sea," Duan Yao turned to look at Hao Ren and said.
