Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 2379: Chapter 2378: Fierce Battle

This is early morning.

Above the blood-red starry sky, a fine drizzle began to fall from somewhere unknown.

Even standing on the Starry Battleship and looking up, one could feel those raindrops falling.

”It has begun...”

The Yin-Yang Blade Saint stretched out his hand, as if he could touch those raindrops: ”From now on, until the day the rain entirely cools, the starry sky will continue raining; this is merely an omen.”

”This is not the time to discuss this,” Su Han spoke.

His eyes remained fixed on the distance.

In that direction, ten enormous figures stood mightily in the air.

Their enormous back spines were clearly visible to Su Han and others, even head-on.

They stared intently at the Starry Battleship with chilling eyes and hideous appearances, an indescribable murderous aura bursting forth from them.

”Though they are of the Eighth Level, equivalent to a human Sub-Immortal, they lack Immortal Artifacts.”

The Yin-Yang Blade Saint paused before saying, ”From the left, the first to the seventh, I will handle them.”

Challenging seven alone!

This was a battle of the same level, yet the Yin-Yang Blade Saint’s confidence showed his formidable strength.

”No need.”

A lazy voice came from another side.

The Yin-Yang Blade Saint turned to see a plume of black mist floating out, the figure hidden within it never revealing itself.

”Greetings to the Destruction Empress,” the Yin-Yang Blade Saint said.

”You kill five, I’ll kill five, how about that?” the Destruction Empress suggested.

The Yin-Yang Blade Saint did not object, nodding: ”Agreed.”

”What about me?”

Xiang’er was eager to fight: ”I want to kill a few Eighth Level Outer Realm Heavenly Demons too, after all, their Blood Crystals are extremely important to my brother.”

”So, there’s no need for you to make a move,”

The Destruction Empress advised: ”After we kill those Eighth Level Outer Realm Heavenly Demons, you can collect the Blood Crystals, and during the battle’s downtime, you can also deal with some Seventh Level Outer Realm Fiends.”

”Alright.” Xiang’er spread her hands, indicating helplessness.

”An extremely dangerous matter, yet in your words, so casual.” Su Han shook his head and gave a wry smile.

At that moment—

”Kill humans of the same level first!”

A gruff voice came from one of the Eighth Level Outer Realm Heavenly Demons!

Their eyes fell straight on the Destruction Empress, Yin-Yang Blade Saint, and Xiang’er, clearly feeling pressure from the three of them.

”They can actually speak human language?!” Many were astonished.

Though Eighth Level Outer Realm Heavenly Demons had been seen before, never had they been seen speaking!

”They are evolving.”

Su Han’s expression darkened slightly, giving Du Tianlin a glance and hinted: ”Moreover, the speed of this evolution is extremely fast; if this continues, in the future, an uncontrollable situation may arise!”

”An uncontrollable situation? What do you mean?” someone asked in confusion.

Su Han did not answer.

Only Du Tianlin understood that Su Han was referring to the potential existence of Outer Realm Heavenly Demons beyond the Eighth Level in the future!

”Boom!!!”

A deafening roar suddenly erupted at that moment.

The ten Eighth Level Outer Realm Heavenly Demons could no longer bear it and attacked first!

The pressure, akin to that of a Sub-Immortal level expert, spread wildly, seemingly tearing the surrounding starry sky apart.

The immense figures, thousands of feet high, stepped on the void, moving at an incredible speed, reaching the Starry Battleship in the blink of an eye.

”Withdraw the Extermination Order!” Du Tianlin immediately instructed.

The Extermination Order was already ineffective against the Seventh Level Outer Realm Fiends, let alone the Eighth Level.

If used to resist, it would not only fail but also cause severe injuries to the Dao Sovereign Realm of the Divine Dream Sect, outweighing any potential gains.

”I’ll make the first move!”

As the Yin-Yang Blade Saint’s words fell, the Sub-Immortal Artifact Long Knife appeared once more, and his figure split into five, just like in his previous battle against the Dark Sorcerer Supreme and others.

”Slash, slash, slash, slash, slash...”

Five Sword Lights surged skyward, seemingly poised to slice the starry sky in half.

Those five Eighth Level Outer Realm Heavenly Demons resisted, growling lowly, exerting astonishing pressure as they pulsed mightily like waves, strange and terrifying.

As the two sides clashed, the continuous roaring sounds echoed, immense ripples sweeping and spreading nearly instantaneously, extending out a hundred thousand miles away.

Given the Yin-Yang Blade Saint’s battle power, without using any ultimate moves, eliminating five Eighth Level Outer Realm Heavenly Demons in a short time was evidently unlikely.

While he was locked in a stalemate with those five Eighth Level Outer Realm Heavenly Demons, the Destruction Empress also acted.

The dense black mist transformed into five large hands at that moment.

At one glance, one’s vision was entirely filled with these black hands, seemingly covering the entire starry sky.

The terrifying pressure it emanated surpassed the Yin-Yang Blade Saint’s by several degrees.

And everyone sensed that the Destruction Empress’s pressure wasn’t just stronger compared to the Yin-Yang Blade Saint.

There was something else... different!

No one but Su Han could clearly articulate what made the difference.

”Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...”

Horrendous roars echoed ceaselessly.

The Destruction Empress faced five foes, suppressing all five Eighth Level Outer Realm Heavenly Demons with a single strike!

Visibly, the massive, mountain-like figures were slowly but surely forced down by the palm strikes, despite exerting every effort to resist.

Cracking sounds were even faintly audible, seemingly indicating bones being shattered.

It was evident that compared to the Yin-Yang Blade Saint’s side, the Destruction Empress had it much easier.

While the Yin-Yang Blade Saint could suppress the opposition, it wasn’t without effort; meanwhile, the Destruction Empress had an absolute advantage.

Of course, this was also because the Yin-Yang Blade Saint hadn’t used all his techniques.

If he unleashed the Soul-Extinguishing Blade Technique, perhaps he wouldn’t fall short to the Destruction Empress.

In short, for now, the ten Eighth Level Outer Realm Heavenly Demons were temporarily contained.

The Phoenix Sect and Divine Dream Sect’s main focus was on those thirty Seventh Level Outer Realm Fiends, as well as the countless Sixth Level and Fifth-Level Outer Demons!

The latter clearly also intended not to spare anyone else, gleaming as they surrounded the Starry Battleship layer upon layer.

”Dao Sovereign Realm experts, go on.”

Su Han waved his hand, saying: ”Remember, prioritize securing your safety; otherwise, even if you kill them, it will be a Pyrrhic victory.”

”Yes!”

The Dao Sovereign Realm members of the Phoenix Sect all rose at that moment, charging out of the Starry Battleship.

Simultaneously, the eleven Heavenly Emperor Realm experts launched attacks, sweeping open, transforming into a stunning Changhong, heading straight for the other side’s Seventh Level Outer Realm Fiends.

Not only the Phoenix Sect, but the Divine Dream Sect followed suit.

However, in terms of the number of experts, the Divine Dream Sect was at a significant disadvantage compared to the Phoenix Sect.
