Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 497: Fighting Demon Kings

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A hundred peak-grade demon kings. This wasn’t an ability that created illusions. They were real demon kings and the same grade as the Yazi Beast.

The Yazi Beast’s overall combat strength was comparable to a fifth-stage Vajra Realm martial expert. Demonic beasts had naturally tough physical bodies, and their defenses were comparable to a sixth-stage Vajra Realm expert. Their offensive strength was slightly weaker and was around the level of Xia Tingwei and Sha Di.

This meant to say that... there was a hundred Xia Tingwei or Sha Di.

Furthermore, these demon kings all had various specialties. Some were extremely fast, some had extremely tough defenses, and some had extremely ferocious offensive power. Every demon king had their unique demonic art, and some of them might even be able to kill invisibly.

A peak-grade demon king was at the last step before becoming a demon thearch.

Once they became a demon thearch, they would have the ability to assimilate different forms; and their strength would increase by several folds, ten folds. They would have the strength to go against a human Heaven Monarch Realm expert and sweep across peak-stage Vajra Realm experts.

It was just a single step that was stopping them from having a human’s body, which naturally had the human’s flawless and natural array within the human’s physical body. Despite that case, a peak-grade demon king was still extremely horrifying, and it was proven from the strength of the Yazi Beast.

“Where did all these peak-grade demon kings come from?”

Jiang Yi was shocked, and his mind was filled with doubts. The number of demon kings on the Stellarsky Continent could be counted with fingers, and the Yazi Beast was the only peak-grade demon king. Jiang Yi wouldn’t find it strange if the Martial Arts Hall released a hundred demon kings, but these were a hundred peak-grade demon kings.

The Stellarsky Continent definitely didn’t have so many peak-grade demon kings. Could they have been captured from the deep sea regions? The problem was... after Jiang Yi did a quick scan, there weren’t plenty of water-type sea demons. Could they have been captured from other continents?

There was another problem. Peak-grade demon kings were as prideful as the human martial experts and wouldn’t willingly submit themselves.

Take the Yazi Beast as an example. Even though it was suppressed by the Witch God and had its life in Jiang Yi’s control through the Universal Palace, it was still unwilling to submit to Jiang Yi in the beginning, right? Many demon kings were prideful and would rather die than submit themselves to humans as slaves. Then how did the Martial Arts Hall managed to tame a hundred peak-grade demon kings?

There were just too many doubts and various thoughts were flashing in Jiang Yi’s mind. He had no choice but to push away those thoughts, as this wasn’t the time to be pondering about such things.

Buzz!

His hand flashed with light as a palace appeared in his hand. It similarly expanded, and he rushed into the Thearch Palace. Once he entered it, he immediately activated the Thearch Palace’s restriction and pulled the Yazi Beast and Grandma Silver Flower in.

Swish!

The Thearch Palace descended and quickly pulled in Old General Lu, Zhan Yiming, Qian Gui, Jiang Rentu, and the others. The strange thing was... Dugu Qiu didn’t ask the demon kings to attack. He smiled and looked on at Jiang Yi pulling in all the generals from the Great Xia Kingdom into the palace.

“Saint Lady, Chief Hall Master is...”

Stellarsky City’s Branch Hall Master Yu looked over at Ji Tingyu with some doubts. Since Dugu Qiu made the decision to make a move, why didn’t he deal a fatal strike? If he had gotten the one hundred demon kings to attack at the same time, Jiang Yi wouldn’t even have the chance to enter the Thearch Palace, right?

“Keke, the Chief Hall Master truly loves prodigies.”

Ji Tingyu sighed and explained: “The Chief Hall Master wants to push Jiang Yi into complete despair. He is giving Jiang Yi time for preparation for a final fight. He would then take down the defenses in Jiang Yi’s heart and make him despair before finally recruiting him.”

“Oh...”

Hall Master Yu let out a sneer and mumbled with disdain, “This Jiang Yi is just a lucky bastard. He merely obtained some artifacts and some special ability. Does he truly think he is the strongest in the world? Keke, if our Martial Arts Hall wants to play with him, it would be the same as playing with an insect...”

“You are wrong!”

Ji Tingyu shook her head and said, “Luck is actually a part of strength, but could Jiang Yi reach this stage by simply relying on luck? Jiang Yi isn’t arrogant; he just doesn’t understand the Martial Arts Hall. Alright, it is time for battle. Let’s enter the Martial Arts Hall first.”

Dugu Qiu had already given the orders in the sky, and Ji Tingyu didn’t dare to continue observing. With their strength, they would be easily crushed by the repercussions from the demon kings’ attacks. She might have a wicked level of wisdom, but her strength was merely at the fifth stage of Soul Travel Realm, and it was after using the celestial stones.

Ji Tingyu, Hall Master Yu, and the others entered the Martial Arts Hall. The building then quickly lit up with golden light as a barrier had been obviously activated. Ji Tingyu had a crystal ball which could observe the entire Stellarsky City, and it wasn’t any different like she was on the outside.

...

“Attack!”

Jiang Yi’s Thearch Palace was huge, but it could only contain a few hundred individuals. After bringing in the generals and the Zhan and Qian clansmen, he realized he didn’t know who else to pull in. After seeing that Jiang Yi had stopped moving, Dugu Qiu smiled and waved his hand to indicate the start of the attack.

“Howl-Howl! Wu-Wu! Ku-Ku!”

A hundred peak-grade demon kings roared in unison before they slowly flew towards the western side of the city and scattered out. Half of the demon kings were releasing demonic arts to attack the floating Thearch Palace while the other half dove at the army below!

“Ah...”

“Save us, Lord Regent!”

“Fight with them to death!”

The army at the western part of the city was frightened stiff. When the fifty peak-grade demon kings rushed at them, the ferocious beast prowess suffocated them. It felt as though a baby facing a lion, as they were powerless—even their soul spirits were trembling. Their only hope was on Jiang Yi, but he had entered the Thearch Palace and didn’t appear to go against the demon kings.

Tsk! Tsk!

Pong-Pong!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Many demon kings were releasing demonic arts, or shooting out red lights from their eyes, or spitting out flames, or launching ice needles, or shooting their feathers as sharp arrows...

A demon king’s demonic art was extremely powerful, let alone a peak-grade demon king. When demonic arts from fifty demon kings were blasted out, a portion of the densely-packed army was immediately wiped out. Many soldiers didn’t even have the chance to scream before they were turned into dust.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

When fifty demonic arts struck on the Thearch Palace, the palace was constantly radiating. The Thearch Palace was originally left with less than half the energy after the attacks from the Ling Clan’s Patriarch. During this period of time, it had recovered some energy, but it was still at half the full capacity. Right now, after this series of demonic arts attack, a fifth of the remaining energy had been depleted.

In other words... once these demon kings attacked for another four times, the energy of the Thearch Palace would be depleted!

God damn it!

Jiang Yi looked at the situation outside through the crystal ball, and he could see the other fifty demon kings slaughtering. At least forty or fifty thousand individuals were killed, which caused Jiang Yi so much anguish.

Some of these soldiers were the Great Xia Kingdom’s citizens, some were borrowed from the Heaven Mystics Kingdom, some were Jiang Bieli’s Western Garrison Army, and some were the subdued army in the Saint Spirit Kingdom.

No matter where they came from—in Jiang Yi’s heart, these soldiers were his subordinates and his citizens. After witnessing a whole group of them dying, it was imaginable how infuriated he was. His heart was dripping with blood, and his blood was burning up.

Swish!

He didn’t hesitate and rushed out of the Thearch Palace. The palace wasn’t going to hold; what was the purpose of staying in there? Why not rush out and have a glorious battle? If he didn’t die, the people inside the Thearch Palace would still have their lives.

Buzz!

Jiang Yi appeared in mid-air and immediately stored the Thearch Palace into the Fire Spirit Pearl. At the same time, tumbling white flames poured out from the Fire Spirit Pearl and enveloped his body. He then vanished from his original place and immediately appeared in the group of demon kings.

Tsk! Tsk!

The Netherworld Ghost Flames were too tyrannical. As soon as he appeared in mid-air, the ghost flames terrifying temperature spread out in all directions.

The peak-grade demon kings were very terrifying, but they had a fatal weakness. They didn’t have any divine senses, and so they couldn’t predict where Jiang Yi would appear next. If they could only react after Jiang Yi appeared, it was already too late.

“Die—!”

Jiang Yi sent out a few palm strikes with lightning speed and turned the ghost flames into a sea of flames, engulfing three demon kings.
