Chapter 560: Heavenly Demon Clan

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Ye Mo had just eliminated the disciples of the Human Dao Palace. He planned to keep killing demons madly to earn more points.

In comparison with all the participants in this tournament, his strength was probably not even in the top 30.

If he wanted to enter the top seven, he had to rely on a large amount of killing and stealing.

But, right as he turned his body to leave, he felt the clouds gathering above him while the ground beneath him started shaking. He sensed that a pair of murderous eyes had locked onto him.

Ye Mo was alarmed as he quickly turned around again. What he saw was a massive fist, almost as big as a mountain, punching at him from afar, destroying all the mountains in its path.

Ye Mo immediately activated his Slab of Fortune and Caged Dragon Armor. It was his instinctive reaction. He much preferred to have the Zhu Immortal Magical Formation activated instead, but he didn’t have the time for that.

Bang!

The punch landed, causing his Caged Dragon Armor to crumble apart. The Slab of Fortune was destroyed too. Ye Mo’s strongest defense had failed to resist this one punch.

Ye Mo was sent flying for 100 meters before he could stabilize himself.

“This attack is so terrifying,” Ye Mo exclaimed in admiration as he gazed at the demon before him. It was the same demon that had seriously injured Zhang Ponu and the others with a single punch. If it weren’t for Ye Mo’s Dragon Blood Strength reaching level five, that one punch would have left him in much worse shape.

Now, Ye Mo finally got a good look at the demon. When it stood straight, it was over 30 meters tall. Its skin was pitch black and its entire body was covered with scales. It was emanating a Transcendence Sixth Realm aura that caused the world around it to shake.

“Human, you were able to survive my punch?”

The demon was the king of that region, the Sky Demon. He was an extremely warlike demon in Purgatory, and every member of its clan was a genius warrior. With his large size and powerful defense, even some Transcendence Seventh Realm demons were terrified of him.

Many types of demons resided in Purgatory. When they reached the Transcendence Realm, they wouldn’t get a Transcendence Golden Body as a human would. But, even so, they would still be subjected to the torture of the Transcendence Tribulation that would refine their body to the point they became indestructible.

Gazing at the Sky Demon and his eyes that were as large as a well, Ye Mo had a feeling that anyone looking into those eyes would be sucked inside, unable to regain consciousness.

Ye Mo had never expected that this Sky Demon would follow them all the way here.

Even with his Dragon Blood Transformation, he would have no hope of victory against this opponent.

Flee!

Ye Mo unfurled his Caged Dragon Wings and flew away. The Sky Demon chased him without stopping, his massive body streaking across the sky in direction of Ye Mo.

After several breaths, Ye Mo was flying above a grassland.

Above him was a pitch-black sun emanating black energy at all times.

The grasses in this grassland were Demonic Grasses, each of them as hard as pig iron, and they emanated a demonic aura at all times.

In the depths of this grassland was a large tribe with many powerful demons in their ranks. Ye Mo was unaware of this. Thus, he landed and hid in the grasses before walking away on foot. If he was able to hide himself, the Sky Demon might not be able to find him.

“That human actually entered the Heavenly Demon Clan’s territory?” the Sky Demon muttered to himself before turning around. “He’s courting death. Looks like I don’t need to do anything myself. He’ll die in the end. I’ll just stand guard at the border of the Heavenly Demon Clan’s territory and see if he’ll end up fleeing out this way again.”

The Heavenly Demon Clan was a truly powerful clan of Purgatory. They even boasted Profound World Realm demons among their ranks. In all of Purgatory, not many beings would dare to offend the Heavenly Demon Clan.

“Huh? Why is that Sky Demon not chasing me?” Ye Mo pushed aside the Demonic Grasses that were as hard as steel and wondered when he saw the Sky Demon turning around and leaving.

“The only possibility is that you’ve entered the territory of a different demon, a demon that is far more powerful than him,” Hong Ling said calmly. “That’s why he decided to not chase after you.”

“What did you say?” Ye Mo was astonished. “We’ve entered the territory of a different demon?”

“Why else would he stop chasing you?” Hong Ling asked. “Did you think hiding in the Demonic Grasses would really protect you from him?”

When Ye Mo heard Hong Ling’s words, he nodded. Purgatory was indeed an area carved into numerous territories.

“We should leave right now,” Ye Mo said.

“Leave? The Sky Demon is as intelligent as a human,” Hong Ling said. “Do you think he’ll spare you? He must have decided to stand guard near this territory. The moment you leave, he’ll keep hunting you.”

Ye Mo faced a predicament; he couldn’t advance or retreat. But he was still in a rush to keep killing demons and earning points.

Howl! Howl! Howl!

Suddenly, Xiao Jing flew out and bit Ye Mo’s sleeve before pointing in a certain direction.

“You want me to go in there?” Ye Mo asked in astonishment.

Xiao Jing nodded and howled.

“Fine, it’s not like I have any other choices,” Ye Mo said. “I might as well go and take a look at what exactly’s going on in this particular territory.”

Ye Mo kept traveling into the depths of the grassland. Then, he discovered a camp. Tents of differing sizes were strewn everywhere. Demons with no ears, gray skin, and a humanoid shape were patrolling everywhere like an orderly army.

It was the Heavenly Demon Clan. The experts of the clan weren’t actual demons. Rather, they were the descendants of the ancient Draconic Humans.

The so-called Draconic Humans were the result of interbreeding between dragons and humans.

In the Heavenly Demon Clan, even the demons patrolling the outer area of the tribe were Transcendence First Realm experts. Ye Mo could sense that there were a few Transcendence Second Realm and Transcendence Third Realm demons among them as well. Of course, Ye Mo didn’t fear them. But these were mere patrols.

The true geniuses of their tribe would most likely be Transcendence Fourth or even Fifth Realm experts.

After taking a detour around the many tents and public squares, under Xiao Jing’s lead, Ye Mo arrived at a certain tent. There was no support for the roof of the tent at the center, with the roof made of the incredibly solid skins of some unknown demons.

After Ye Mo entered, he found that there was nobody inside the tent. But in the middle of the tent was a massive totem. Countless streams of dark green energy twirled around the totem.

Countless Crystal Cores were being devoured by the totem without stop.

“This must be the totem of the Heavenly Demon Clan,” Ye Mo said Are the people depicted in the totem all Heavenly Demon Clan members?”

When Hong Ling looked at the massive totem, she cried out in astonishment, “It’s said that the Heavenly Demon Clan aren’t actual demons. They were merely forcefully sent into Purgatory by some powerful humans. This totem is a high-grade Bejeweled Weapon capable of refining the Crystal Cores of demons and extracting the energy within.”

Howl! Howl! Howl!

Xiao Jing’s eyes twinkled as he stared at the energy surrounding the totem. He was salivating non-stop.

“There’s such a large amount of Crystal Core energy here,” Ye Mo said. “Perhaps Xiao Jing could even enter the Transcendence Realm with it.”

Before Ye Mo could even give an order, Xiao Jing pounced forward. Anyone would be impatient with such strength dangled in front of them. Xiao Jing was naturally no exception.

Bang!

Suddenly, the tent started shaking while Heavenly Demons appeared to surround Ye Mo.

“How impudent! You dare to steal our Heavenly Demon totem?” A furious voice rang out, causing the space to shake and reducing the tent to nothingness. A Heavenly Demon wielding a pitchfork descended from the sky and landed before Ye Mo.

The pitchfork was a mid-grade Bejeweled Weapon while the Heavenly Demon before him was in the Transcendence Fourth Realm.
