High Martial Arts: I Travel Through Heaven and Earth Through Dreams

Chapter 328 You are actually a traitor within the Demon Clan?

On the other hand, let's go back to when Lin Hanzhou broke through to the ninth-level Demon Emperor.

At that moment, the entire void stood still.

It wasn't an adjective, but some higher-dimensional force that abruptly brought this chaotic and violent void battlefield to a complete standstill for three full breaths.

Immediately afterwards, an indescribable wave of terror, centered on the nameless canyon, swept across the entire void continent like the first ray of light at the beginning of the universe, ignoring the distance of space and the obstruction of the array!

That wasn't an ordinary fluctuation of spiritual energy.

That is the Emperor's might!

It was the supreme pressure brought about by the leap in the essence of life after a ninth-order being stepped into the "Domain of Gods"!

……

Human Stronghold - Third Main City "Zhenyuan City"

This colossal city, capable of housing a million cultivators and hailed as the most fortified stronghold of the human race on the void battlefield, is now trembling in fear.

The city's protective array emitted a series of teeth-grinding creaks, and the once-brilliant light screen flickered on and off, like a candle about to be extinguished in the wind.

Inside the city lord's mansion, a dozen or so human powerhouses, each exuding the aura of the eighth rank and tenth level, were gathered together, their faces deathly pale, staring in terror at the direction from which the purple light soared into the sky.

"This...this aura..."

The Lord of Zhenyuan City, a veteran eighth-tier powerhouse who had fought in the void battlefield for three thousand years, was now trembling uncontrollably even with his hand holding the teacup.

"Click."

The finest ancient jade teacup was crushed into powder in his hands, and scalding tea dripped through his fingers without him even noticing.

"Ninth-tier... Demon Emperor!!"

These four words struck the hearts of everyone present like a heavy hammer.

A deathly silence enveloped the hall.

Everyone understands what those four words mean.

In this void battlefield where the full power of heaven and earth cannot be borrowed, a newly promoted ninth-order demon emperor is a walking calamity, an invincible god!

"How is this possible... how could it be so fast?!"

A commander clad in armor spoke in a hoarse voice, his eyes filled with despair.

"According to intelligence, it is impossible for any demon to have a demon emperor who can enter the void battlefield."

"This aura is completely unfamiliar! It's the newly born Demon Emperor!!"

"It's over...it's all over."

Another elderly man slumped in a chair, his face ashen.

"If we join forces and rely on the city's protective formation, we might be able to withstand the siege of an eighth-tier demon general. But in front of a demon emperor, what difference is there between this formation and paper?"

"If that Demon Emperor so desires, it doesn't even need to lift a finger; simply unleashing its full imperial might would be enough to shatter the souls of all cultivators below the seventh rank in the city!"

Panic spread through the hearts of the people like a plague.

Below the ninth level, all are ants.

This statement may be an exaggeration to outsiders, but in the void battlefield where rules are broken, this is the bloody reality.

"Quick!! Don't just stand there!!"

The Lord of Zhenyuan City suddenly came to his senses, and a roar jolted everyone awake.

"Send a message! Activate the highest-level communication array immediately!"

"Contact Palace Master Duanmu!"

"Tell him that a new ninth-tier Demon Emperor has been born on the Void Battlefield! Please, Palace Master, provide immediate support! Otherwise... our human defenses on the Void Battlefield will collapse completely within three days!"

"yes!!!"

……

【Void Battlefield: The Dark Side】

This was completely different from the terror and despair felt by the humans.

At this moment, this land shrouded in darkness and deathly silence was completely agitated.

"roar--!!"

"Awooo—!!"

Countless low-level demons, lurking in the shadows, cracks, and deep underground, rushed out of their lairs after sensing the supreme bloodline suppression.

They showed no hesitation or confusion whatsoever.

Under the influence of that imperial might, millions of low-level demons, whether they were demon wolves, bone demons, or succubi, all prostrated themselves in worship towards the purple pillar of light.

That is their king, their god.

And in the deeper void faults.

A group of terrifying, enormous creatures of various sizes opened their scarlet or eerie green eyes.

This is a group of eighth-tier demon generals, and also the true "hunters" of the void battlefield.

In normal times, in order to avoid being besieged by powerful human beings and to accumulate strength, they often choose to lie in deep hibernation.

But at this moment, the aura of the new emperor's birth awakened the fervent fighting spirit etched into their very bones.

"Hehehe... This aura... it's pure imperial bloodline!"

An eighth-tier, tenth-level demon general, his body engulfed in ghostly flames, slowly rose from the cave, his eyes gleaming with greed and excitement.

"Great... Finally, the Demon Emperor has descended!"

Beside it, a snake demon with eight arms twisted its body, its voice sharp and piercing.

"Those damned humans, relying on some kind of 'formation' and 'combined attack technique', have suppressed us for so many years."

"Now that the Demon Emperor has descended, let's see what they can use to stop him!"

"That's right!"

Another chilling voice rang out.

"Now that the Demon Emperor has revealed his true form, it is the sounding of the final attack! As long as we follow the Demon Emperor to conquer the human race's main city... the countless living flesh and blood inside, even those eighth-tier human cultivators..."

At this point, all the high-ranking demons swallowed hard.

For them, devouring high-level human cultivators is a shortcut to bloodline evolution.

If they can get a share of the spoils in this great war, perhaps the next Demon Emperor will be born among them!

"Walk!"

"Let's go pay homage to the Demon Emperor!"

"I am willing to be the Demon Emperor's vanguard, to crush the human race!!"

"roar--!!"

In an instant, demonic energy surged everywhere in the void battlefield.

Hundreds of extremely powerful streams of light, like rivers flowing into the sea, converged madly towards the nameless canyon.

……

[Void Battlefield - A Certain Wasteland]

"Clatter".

A massive demon corpse fell helplessly from the sky, crashing onto the hard black stone ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

The Celestial Venerable of Blazing Sun hovered in mid-air, still in the act of throwing away the corpse, but his whole body was as stiff as if he had been struck by lightning, like a statue.

His eyes, which had been filled with impatience, were now fixed on the purple demonic pillar that pierced the heavens and the earth in the distance.

He was all too familiar with that imperial might that made his very soul tremble; it was definitely the aura of a ninth-tier demon.

Not only that, he was also extremely familiar with that direction.

"That location..."

Lieyang Tianzun's lips trembled, his brain working frantically as memories flashed through his mind like a slideshow.

A month ago, Duanmu Hong issued a death order through the slave seal: hunt down an eighth-order demon and deliver the corpse to a designated coordinate.

The coordinates are: that is, the unnamed canyon.

For the past month, he and his more than one hundred old friends endured humiliation and worked diligently, hunting down hundreds of eighth-tier demons and throwing their demonic hearts and corpses, which contained enormous energy, into that canyon.

And now, near that canyon piled high with their "fruits of labor," a ninth-tier demon emperor has been born.

Combining this information, a chilling and terrifying thought instantly came to his mind.

"This...this is no coincidence."

"This is definitely not a coincidence!"

The voice of the Heavenly Venerable of Blazing Sun became sharp and distorted due to excessive fear and anger.

"The demons we killed...were not to weaken their power..."

"It's animal feed!"

"That damned mission was basically just to feed this Demon Emperor!"

"We, a group of over a hundred people, are being treated like babysitters! We're personally nurturing a ninth-tier powerhouse for the demon race!"

Having figured this out, the Heavenly Venerable of Blazing Sun felt a chill rush from the soles of his feet to his head, making him tremble all over.

He knew that things might be worse than he thought.

Because the person who issued this order was none other than the current Lord of the Demon Extermination Hall—Duanmu Hong!

He is one of the highest leaders of the human race today!

"Duanmu Hong..."

The Heavenly Venerable of Blazing Sun's pupils dilated in shock, his face filled with disbelief.

"You...you're actually a traitor within the demon race?!"
