Chapter 244: The Asura Clan Comes to Help
"Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, heed my command! Wood, Earth-Settling Stake!"
Accompanied by the voice, a massive green wood descended from the sky, pressing down on Star Peak City. With no other choice, the crowd that had just rushed out of the city gates retreated back into Star Peak City.
"Demon Emperor, Flame Emperor, what should we do now? If this continues, we might be completely wiped out!" one of the soldiers said anxiously.
Watching their soldiers being crushed by Heavenly One Heavy Water at every moment, both the Demon Emperor and Flame Emperor felt a pang of sorrow in their hearts, as many of those lost were part of the million Fighting Saint Experts they had led.
"There’s no other way. Since we can’t break through forcefully, we will have to break through the city wall to escape!" said the Demon Emperor.
"It seems we have no choice."
"Soldiers, follow my command and attack the North City Wall!" the Demon Emperor ordered.
"Yes!"
"Demon Emperor, we are surrounded by mountains on three sides. Why attack the North City Wall?"
"No matter how high the mountains are, without strong defensive techniques to support them, they are just tofu before us," replied the Demon Emperor.
The crowd nodded in agreement and ceased further discussion, focusing instead on attacking the North City Wall together.
"Roar." With a loud roar, the Demon Emperor transformed into its true form, the Void Demon Dragon, soaring into the sky. At the same time, it communicated through its soul, "I will attract their attention; you all hurry up!!"
"Thank you, Demon Emperor." Everyone understood that going out to attract attention would inevitably lead to severe injuries or even death.
"Bang!" The hundreds of feet long Void Demon Dragon swung its tail and smashed against the wall of North City. Star Peak City shook violently, but there was not a single sign of collapse on the city wall.
"What a powerful fortification technique," everyone thought to themselves, and immediately their speed increased even more.
"Preserve your fighting spirit well; this emperor will go out and meet them." The Demon Emperor shouted fiercely, then soared into the sky. Everyone understood that this statement was deliberately made for them to hear.
"Stop!" Dao raised his right hand and commanded.
"My lord?"
"Shut up!" Dao said coldly, then looked at the hundreds of feet long Void Demon Dragon and said, "Void Demon Dragon?"
"You know my clan?" the Demon Emperor asked.
"The royal family among the demon race, the Void Demon Dragon has some reputation in the Upper Realm," Dao replied.
"Are you an Upper Realm Being?" the Demon Emperor inquired.
Dao brushed his hair back and smiled as he said, "Yes."
"What brings you to the lower realm?" the Demon Emperor asked.
"You don't need to concern yourself with that. Given your identity as a Void Demon Dragon, I won't kill you. You can leave," Dao said calmly.
"Nonsense! My Void Demon Dragon clan only knows how to die in battle, not to survive by stealth! Let's fight! Let me see how much power you, an Upper Realm Being, can exert in the lower realm," the Demon Emperor said, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.
"Alas, the world is so foolish, wanting to compete with the Heavenly Sovereign..." Dao shook his head and said.
"Hmph!" The Demon Emperor snorted coldly, then his body surged forward rapidly towards Dao, sweeping his tail with great momentum.
"Dao can steal! I will steal your brute strength!" Dao shook his head and said softly. His voice was not loud, yet it resonated in everyone's ears as if it were not spoken by Dao but by the heavens themselves.
Suddenly, the Demon Emperor's speed slowed down as if he had lost all strength and could not run anymore. The sweeping dragon tail also moved sluggishly.
"Dao can steal! I will steal your vitality!"
As he finished speaking, streams of vitality surged from the Demon Emperor towards Dao. In an instant, Dao's waning aura gradually recovered, while the Void Demon Dragon's body visibly aged at a rapid pace.
"What kind of sorcery is this?" the Demon Emperor said in terror.
"Foolish! This is Dao!" Dao said coldly.
The Demon Emperor weakly turned to look back and saw that the Flame Emperor and others had already breached the North City Wall and were now opening up the mountains. Seeing this scene, Yao Tianshang smiled with satisfaction.
“Demon Emperor!!” Flame Emperor shouted angrily, his voice filled with sorrow.
“Swish!” At that moment, a Blood-colored Longsword came rushing from behind Dao. In a hurry, Dao swiftly sidestepped to avoid the strike and looked into the void, calmly saying, “Which friend has come to visit?”
In the Sky, one of the Eighteen Shura Generals revealed his figure and then said, “A cultivator from the Upper Realm? Why do you linger in the lower realm if you are not sealed?”
“I thought it was someone important; turns out it’s just the Asura Royal Family.” Dao brushed his hair back and said calmly, “Do you intend to interfere in my affairs?”
“Others may fear your Dao Clan, but we of the Asura Royal Family do not.” The Asura General replied coldly.
“I truly don’t know who gave you the courage to speak to me like that.” Dao said indifferently, his tone filled with killing intent.
“Do you think you still have enough power to contend with me?” The Asura General said, “I don’t want to take advantage of your weakness. Even if I were to destroy this clone of yours now, it wouldn’t cause much harm to your true self—just a little, wouldn’t you agree?”
“So what do you want? With just yourself, I can afford to sacrifice this clone and still kill you.” Dao replied coldly.
“Return to your Dao Realm!!” The other seventeen figures appeared simultaneously and spoke in unison.
“Eighteen Shura?” Dao's expression began to change.
“Upper Realm Being, why do you meddle in matters of the lower realm?”
“And why are you here?”
"Just because we are the main body, while you are merely a clone," said the Eighteen Shura calmly.
"Are you trying to initiate the battle of the Four Realms ahead of schedule?" Dao replied calmly.
"Has the Demon Realm and the Dao Realm ever been at peace?"
Dao fell silent for a moment, weighing the pros and cons, and said fiercely, "You are quite impressive." After speaking, a golden vortex appeared above his head, deep and unfathomable.
"Farewell, Upper Realm," Dao said angrily, his tone filled with rage. After finishing, he leaped into the golden vortex, intending to return to the Upper Realm.
Suddenly, the Eighteen Shura simultaneously positioned their right hands like swords and shouted, "Shura Extermination Sword, slash!!" Eighteen blood-red sword energies shot up into the sky, directly slashing toward the golden vortex as if they wanted to forcibly destroy it.
"You!! Dao Spirit, command!" A golden figure instantly flashed into the golden vortex. Dao then used his remaining Dao power to turn around and block the blood-red sword strike from the Eighteen Shura.
"Bang!" With a loud noise, the golden vortex transformed into countless starlights, dissipating into the void, and Dao also ceased to exist, falling in this Small Thousand Worlds.
"Dao Spirit? No wonder this person can wield the Five Elements power in another realm," one of the Shura remarked.
"Having a Dao Spirit indicates that this person holds a significant position in the Dao Clan; he is either the clan leader or the next clan leader."
"Is there a difference between the clan leader and the next clan leader?"
In the Dao Realm, a tranquil area...
In a closed Training Room, a young man sitting cross-legged spat out a mouthful of blood. He then grasped the illusory Sky and rapidly absorbed a golden object into his body, coldly saying, "Demon race? Hmph! You destroy one of my avatars, and I will make you pay double! It's just a pity that I couldn't seize the treasure before anyone else."
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Demon Emperor, are you alright?" Eighteen Shura Generals asked as they supported the now human-shaped Yao Tianshang.
"Thank you all, I'm fine," Yao Tianshang replied weakly. His appearance was far from that of the middle-aged man he once was; he now looked like an elderly person on the verge of collapse. Looking at the eighteen figures surrounded by blood-red aura, although Yao Tianshang did not recognize them, he could sense their goodwill from their tone.
"Demon Emperor," Flame Emperor rushed up from below, expressing concern.
"We'll talk later," Demon Emperor said, then coldly glanced at the others from the Great Peace Heavenly Kingdom.
"What do you intend to do?"
The people from the Great Peace Heavenly Kingdom did not respond. Then Yang Chen discovered that the originally fully realized Xiao Tian now only had the strength of a Seven-Star Fighter, while he himself miraculously also possessed the power of a Seven-Star Fighter!, a higher-up in the crowd shouted, "Retreat!"
"Yes!" Then Yang Chen discovered that the originally fully realized Xiao Tian now only had the strength of a Seven-Star Fighter, while he himself miraculously also possessed the power of a Seven-Star Fighter!, millions of troops began to retreat. It wasn't that he didn't want to continue issuing orders to advance; rather, they were forced to withdraw due to plummeting morale. Continuing to fight would not yield much benefit, especially with nine formidable beings capable of driving them away.
"Demon Emperor, I will escort you back to court and ask the Celestial Emperor for assistance," Flame Emperor said urgently.
"Yes, Demon Emperor, you should return first and let Best Actor come to your aid. Here, you don't need to worry for now." Below, a general from Huangzhou rushed up and advised.
"Everyone..." Demon Emperor was about to say something when one of the Eighteen Shura Generals interrupted him, saying, "Demon Emperor, we are all from the Shadowkill Celestial Kingdom. Leave this to us; Eighteen, you take Demon Emperor back. Flame Emperor, our eighteen brothers are not skilled in marching or fighting; those matters should still be left to you, so you cannot leave."
"Yes, Boss," one Asura General nodded.
"Then, I will trouble you all," Flame Emperor said after considering the pros and cons. If the Eighteen Shura Generals wanted to secretly kill the Demon Emperor, there would have been no need to offer assistance in the first place.
"Then I will trouble you all," the Demon Emperor said weakly.
"Not at all, we should thank the Demon Emperor and Flame Emperor for sending troops to assist us. Demon Emperor, please rest assured and focus on your recovery," the Huangzhou general said respectfully. After all, it was the Demon Emperor who had drawn attention alone, giving them a chance to escape.
"Demon Emperor, please!" The Asura Royal Family admired this kind-hearted man.
"Thank you for your trouble," the Demon Emperor said with a bitter smile.
Eighteen nodded and then supported the Demon Emperor as they swiftly moved away.
"With Eighteen escorting the Demon Emperor back to the capital, you all need not worry. Now let's redeploy," the leader of the Eighteen Shura Generals said. "We came out for another mission, but now you are facing great danger, so I must intervene."
"Please speak," Flame Emperor gestured.
"The Dao has already been slain by us, but the Great Peace Heavenly Kingdom cannot be without defenders. I predict that three days from now, the Great Peace Heavenly Kingdom will send troops again to seize Star Peak City. Therefore, what I mean is to leave ten of my brothers behind to assist you. How does that sound?" Asura General said. "Rest assured, we are not those who seek military merit. If you need it, I can count all military achievements under your names."
"No, no, no, my lord, we have no such thoughts. It is our honor to receive your assistance," the generals of Huangzhou hurriedly replied. Flame Emperor had no objections either; he was originally here to assist Huangzhou.
