Chapter 338: The Army Approaches the City
Thunderous Roar...
A tremendous rumbling sound echoed across the plain. As far as the eye could see, there stood countless Demon Clan warriors. The sheer number was astonishing, no less than a million. Each warrior tightly gripped their weapons, exuding a strong aura of slaughter. They stood in perfect formation on the plain, their combined presence resembling a ferocious beast, an intimidating force that soared into the sky.
Seeing such a formidable army, even an ordinary Saint-Level Expert would turn pale. Even a Supreme Combat Body would frown. This army belonged to the Extreme Demon Domain.
After three months of warfare between the two great demon domains, the original two million troops had been reduced by half. This was still due to the surrender of many soldiers. However, the remaining million troops had not diminished in momentum; rather, their overall strength had likely surpassed that of the original two million who had emerged from the Extreme Demon Domain.
Standing at the forefront of this million-strong army was Ling Kong, the supreme ruler of the entire Extreme Demon Domain. With long black hair cascading over his shoulders and a tall figure resembling a drawn sword, his dark robe added an air of mystery and eeriness. Most striking was his unabashed Killing Intent, akin to an Ancient Fierce Deity dominating the void. His overwhelming presence alone could rival that of a million soldiers.
Looking at Ling Kong's imposing figure, the million Extreme Demon Domain soldiers below erupted with wild admiration. He single-handedly defeated the Extreme Demon Emperor, annihilated three major cities including nineteen Demon Lords such as the defiant Azure Python Demon Lord within days, and personally led a million troops to conquer the established power of the Black Tiger Demon Domain. Although his time in command was short, every action he took became legendary, shaking everyone’s soul.
Gazing at the last remaining city of the Black Tiger Demon Domain, Sun Zhe's eyes flickered slightly, and an uncontrollable wave of Killing Intent slowly emerged. The increasingly profound Black Sword above his forehead also appeared involuntarily, its dark light illuminating the void and even causing space to tremble.
"Are we all ready?"
Without looking away, Sun Zhe asked calmly. Behind him stood two hundred powerful figures, each exuding a strong demonic aura—each one had reached the rank of Holy Rank Demon Lord.
The demon world has never lacked strong individuals. As Sun Zhe's reputation grew over these three months, more and more Demon Lords came forward to follow him. Now, his number of followers had nearly doubled compared to that of the Extreme Demon Emperor. Leading them was Jingjing, with the Barbarian Bull Demon Lord and Linghuo Yaozun standing behind her, while others remained further back.
Upon hearing Sun Zhe's question, Jingjing did not respond. Instead, the Barbarian Bull Demon Lord stepped forward respectfully and replied,
"Reporting to you, my lord Demon Emperor, after three months of campaigns, we have captured all seventy-eight major cities within the Black Tiger Demon Domain. However, they have not stationed large forces there yet. During these three months, more than half of their Demon Lords have either been killed or surrendered to us. The remaining hundred or so are all holed up in this Black Tiger City."
"This Black Tiger City is the old nest cultivated by the Black Tiger Demon Emperor for many years; its scale is nearly comparable to some major cities in the Central Domain. Moreover, its defensive formations are extraordinary; even attacks from ordinary Demon Emperors can be partially negated. The effects of attacks from Demon Lords are further diminished by more than half. Coupled with fifty thousand troops and over a hundred remaining Demon Lords, it may not be easy to breach this city."
At this moment, Linghuo Yaozun also stepped forward and frowned as she spoke. After this period of campaigning, she had genuinely submitted to Sun Zhe. At least until he faced defeat or death, she had largely abandoned other thoughts.
"In fact, the biggest uncertainty lies with that old fellow, the Black Tiger Demon Emperor. He has truly kept his composure; for three whole months we've taken over all his territory without him showing his face even once. Could it be that he's already dead...?"
Looking at the imposing presence of the Black Tiger City, Jingjing slightly pouted her lips and cursed impatiently. After learning about Sun Zhe's plans last time, she took things seriously; at least half of those who ultimately joined were recruited by her personally. Her identity as a descendant of Zhuque still held some reputation in the demon world.
"No, he is not dead!"
After a moment, Sun Zhe suddenly spoke, his gaze fixed on the sky above Black Tiger City.
As soon as his voice fell, a brilliant light shot up from the direction of Black Tiger City, and a terrifying aura instantly spread out from that direction, like a wave rising on the surface of water, rapidly expanding in all directions. In the blink of an eye, it felt as if the entire land was grasped by a giant hand.
Then, a middle-aged man dressed in a Yellow Robe appeared above Black Tiger City. On his forehead was distinctly marked a black character for "King," and his entire body was surrounded by an astonishing demonic aura. His sinister eyes radiated an extremely dense ghostly presence; he was none other than the Black Tiger Demon Emperor of the Black Tiger Demon Domain.
Seeing the appearance of the Black Tiger Demon Emperor, many powerful figures within Black Tiger City showed ecstatic expressions. Even those defeated Holy Level Demon Lords regained their excitement; as long as the Black Tiger Demon Emperor was present, the Black Tiger Demon Domain would never collapse.
"Thank you for training this million-strong army for me. I hear you have killed that useless one. It seems your strength is not weak after all. I offer you an opportunity: if you are willing to pledge your Soul Loyalty to me, I will allow you to follow under my command. In the future, as I take control of the entire western continent of the demon realm, I will certainly not treat you poorly!"
Looking at Ling Kong standing beside Sun Zhe, the Black Tiger Demon Emperor's lips curled into a satisfied smile as he spoke lightly, as if granting Sun Zhe a great honor.
"Hmph, this shameless old fellow is getting bolder with age; he doesn't even consider his own worth!"
Upon hearing the Black Tiger Demon Emperor's brazen words—demanding not only their million-strong army but also Sun Zhe's Soul Loyalty—Jingjing openly scolded him without reservation. With Sun Zhe backing her up, she naturally feared no strong Demon Emperor from the Divine Realm. As a Demon Lord, daring to insult a Demon Emperor like this made her probably the first to do so.
Jingjing's words were unrestrained and rang out across the battlefield. The members of the Extreme Demon Domain burst into laughter, while those from the Black Tiger Demon Domain turned pale, especially the Black Tiger Demon Emperor, who nearly fell from mid-air in anger.
"You..."
Hearing Jingjing's sharp words, even though the Black Tiger Demon Emperor was seasoned and cunning, he couldn't help but twitch slightly at the corners of his mouth. He was infuriated; since becoming a Demon Emperor, no one had dared to speak to him like that—Jingjing was indeed the first.
"Kill!"
Not wanting to listen to any more nonsense from the Black Tiger Demon Emperor, Sun Zhe's eyes flashed with cold light as he swung his right hand downward without hesitation and coldly uttered a single word. The moment he spoke it, it echoed across the plains like thunder.
"Kill..."
Without any hesitation, under the leadership of two hundred Holy Level Demon Lords, the million-strong army of Extreme Demon Domain charged madly toward Black Tiger City. They knew that if they captured this great city today, the Black Tiger Demon Domain would truly become history, and the territory of Extreme Demon Domain would expand several times over. Each of them would also receive considerable rewards.
The sheer number of this million-strong army was immense; on that vast plain, it appeared as a dark mass. Led by two hundred Demon Lords, they surged forward like a black torrent toward Black Tiger City. Meanwhile, soldiers from the Black Tiger Demon Domain filled the walls of Black Tiger City; even those Holy Level Demon Lords stood atop the city walls facing the overwhelming military might of Extreme Demon Domain without any fear.
"Kill... kill..."
The shouts of battle echoed endlessly, and in the blink of an eye, the powerful warriors from both sides of the Demon Lord began to clash. For the Demon Lord, the walls of the city posed no obstacle; they engaged in combat mid-air, and soon after, the million-strong army from the Extreme Demon Domain charged towards the city walls.
The number of Demon Lord strong warriors on the Extreme Demon Domain side was clearly greater than that of the Black Tiger Demon Domain, and the strength of that million-strong army also surpassed their opponents. If it weren't for the advantage provided by the city walls, the Black Tiger Demon Domain would likely have been unable to resist the Extreme Demon Domain. Even so, they were still firmly at a disadvantage.
"Truly disrespectful! A newly advanced Demon Emperor dares to be arrogant before me. I will show you that there are insurmountable gaps even among Demon Emperors!"
The Black Tiger Demon Emperor did not even glance at the battle below; his dark, swirling eyes were fixed on Sun Zhe. With a flash, he charged towards Sun Zhe. Once he dealt with Sun Zhe, the other Demon Lords would naturally submit to him, and this elite army would be his.
"Annoying!"
The avatar formed from the Law of Slaughter was clearly more decisive than Sun Zhe himself. After coldly uttering those two words, he reached out with his right hand and grasped the Ancient Divine Weapon known as the Ancient Bell Blade. His already perfected Supreme Battle Body began to operate as well; facing the formidable Black Tiger Demon Emperor, who far surpassed any Extreme Demon Emperor, he had no choice but to use all his strength.
Boom Boom Boom Boom...
The violent energies clashed, creating a terrifying resonance. The unmatched killing Sword Aura shattered the void, while black annihilating fists struck down towards the earth. The two in the Void continued their fierce exchanges. Although lacking in the dazzling display of Divine Abilities, the terrifying power of their fists and the clash of Sword Aura showcased the destructive might of the Supreme Combat Body.
This battle was the first since Sun Zhe took control of the Extreme Demon Domain, and it was also his first step in developing his demonic domain's power. He had no intention of failing...
