Taking advantage of the cover provided by the surrounding leaves, Wang Long and his companions boldly looked up at the elusive leader of the Demon Clan.
To their surprise, unlike any other Demon Clan members they had encountered, even the Abyssal Demon, the Brahma Demon King had a surprisingly refined appearance. However, his expression was extremely cold, as if he was born to trample this world underfoot, with no one in existence worthy of his attention.
Even more terrifying was the malevolent aura emanating from him.
In comparison, even Wang Long's Demon Skull was far from being able to contend with it.
Wang Long glanced back at Shunshen Song Shuping, the strongest among them, only to see a bitter smile on his face. It was clear that even he could not gauge the depth of the Brahma Demon King's power.
However, one thing was certain: they did not even have the qualifications to challenge him based on their current strength!
"Alright, there is no need for pleasantries now. Our priority is to find the Spirit Root first. We cannot allow the Divine Clan to get ahead of us!"
"Yes!" The ordinary Demon Experts responded and scattered to continue their search, while the Demon Lords gathered around Brahma.
" Brahma Demon King, why must you personally take action this time? Let us stand at the forefront and draw the attention of the Divine Clan. Wouldn't it be better for you to strike decisively against those Ancient Colossal Deities when the opportunity arises?" one Demon Lord boasted of his wisdom and loyalty.
"If you all could hold them off, then I wouldn't need to reveal myself so soon. But can you really do it?"
Another Ancient Demon Lord from the Demon Clan scoffed, " Brahma Demon King, are you overestimating those Divine Clan members? This time we launched attacks everywhere and took down several major cities of theirs. And what happened? Those Ancient Colossal Deities didn't even react at all. I began to suspect they had become half-wits due to their training."
"Hmph! Azhong, are you questioning Brahma Demon King's strategy before a great battle? Previously, Brahma Demon King not only spread doubt among their major cities but also personally appeared among the Four Major Sects, which truly frightened those restless Divine Clan members into retreating behind their walls. But now they have gathered together; we must not underestimate their strength."
"Indeed, Tianfan's words resonate with me. Our Demon Clan has been suppressed by the Divine Clan for so many years. I understand your desire for a decisive turnaround, but we must not harbor any underestimating thoughts. The resources we have in our Demon Clan have been painstakingly saved; we cannot afford heavy losses before our grand plan is set in motion!"
"Yes!" Everyone responded with deep respect.
"Eh?" At that moment, the Brahma Demon King suddenly raised an eyebrow and gazed intently into the distance!
Instantly, Wang Long, Song Shuping, and Cai Burin felt a tremendous pressure bearing down on them.
It was as if the malevolent energy that filled the heavens and earth had been directed by a commander, immediately turning Wang Long and the others into its targets. The three of them simultaneously felt their own Spiritual Essence being suppressed, flowing sluggishly within them.
"We've been discovered, let's go!"
Wang Long shouted loudly, and the three of them instantly used Song Shuping's ability to teleport away.
In the blink of an eye, a massive blade struck where they had just crouched, cleaving the rocks there in two.
"They've already escaped." The Giant Force Demon Lord slowly sheathed his sword as Brahma Demon King arrived at the scene. "It seems that Shunshen Song Shuping has appeared again. I didn't expect him to have fallen out with the Game God Sect and still be willing to assist the divine race."
Brahma Demon King replied calmly, "They're just a few ants; they won't affect the overall situation. Giant Force, Feiling, Water Crossing, Iron Battle, you four lead your men to search for them. Remember, if you encounter them, use the Flying Cross Star Annihilation formation. Even Shunshen Song Shuping won't be able to escape your grasp. And most importantly, if the situation changes and it's not suitable or you're unable to eliminate them, just force them out of this area. Don't be greedy for achievements and make mistakes; our main target is still the entire divine race! Giant Force, this operation is led by you. Anyone who dares to disobey your orders will be executed on the spot!"
"Understood!" Despite being entrusted with this heavy responsibility by Brahma Demon King and standing above the other Demon Lords, Giant Force remained extremely composed without showing any sign of pride.
In contrast, the other three did not share such composure. Feiling, Water Crossing, and Iron Battle all displayed varying degrees of dissatisfaction on their faces. However, given Brahma Demon King's stern tone, they dared not oppose him at this moment and could only reluctantly comply with his orders.
"Everyone else should take their positions and find out the exact location of this Extraordinary Treasure!"
"Yes!"
A terrifying killing intent surged through the clouds and shot into the sky.
Wang Long skillfully executed a low-flying leap, propelling himself several dozen feet away without stirring even a hint of Spiritual Energy Fluctuation around him.
Shunshen and Cai Burin were unable to achieve what he did. Although Wang Long had fully imparted his control over Spiritual Essence to them, they were still far slower than Wang Long, taking quite a while to catch up.
"Well, let's take a break," Cai Burin said, his strength surpassing that of Shunshen, especially in the use of this shifting technique. He was already feeling a bit out of breath. "We’ve set up several traps behind us, and having stealthily traveled such a distance, they shouldn’t be able to catch up, right?"
Wang Long wasn't very familiar with the capabilities of the Demon Clan, especially now that even the Brahma Demon King had personally taken action, with each of his generals being an Ancient Demon or a Demon Lord. In this regard, Shunshen understood them better.
"Um, it should be fine to rest now," Shunshen reflected. "Unless the Brahma Demon King personally comes after us, no one can catch up that quickly. And if the Brahma Demon King were to recklessly pursue us, we wouldn’t be able to miss his overwhelming presence."
Wang Long let out a sigh of relief and slowly sat down beside Cai Burin: "That situation was really perilous. I didn’t expect that even from such a distance, just by observing the Brahma Demon King, he could pinpoint our exact location. I think I even saw his largest subordinate, the Demon Lord, swinging his blade right in front of us."
"That’s the Giant Force Demon Lord, one of the earliest followers of the Brahma Demon King. Over the years, I haven’t heard much about his abilities; he’s just known for his immense strength and ease in lifting heavy objects. However, due to his unwavering loyalty, he has always been favored by the Brahma Demon King. I didn’t expect him to react so quickly this time; it seems there were significant discrepancies in the information the divine race had on him. Or perhaps he has improved through hard training over these years?"
Wang Long smiled wryly: "There’s a saying in our world that one should look at someone anew after three days apart. Perhaps his character hasn’t changed easily, but there will definitely be changes in strength. If he is indeed a calm and powerful Ancient Demon Lord, then he would be quite difficult to deal with."
"Heh heh, we don’t have to face him directly now, so why worry about it?" Cai Burin replied dismissively. "We might as well rest early; although we’ve temporarily shaken them off, they could catch up at any moment. Let those troublesome matters be handled by the divine race."
"Wait a minute, do you feel anything?" Suddenly, an uncomfortable sensation surged through Wang Long, making him alert. He jumped up from the stone immediately.
