"Sleeping?"
The other three Demon Kings stared at one another in bewilderment.
This was the Demon Emperor City, the heart of the Titan Demon Tribe. Furthermore, there were five Pseudo Immortal realm pinnacle Demon Kings in the area. With the ink-black essence rippling in the surroundings, it would not be an exaggeration to call this a tiger's den. Yet, the other party was still sleeping …
Are you serious?
With a livid face, Demon King Qing Yue took a closer look at the other party, only to see the other party's chest rising and falling. Due to the other party's deep sleep, the other party's saliva had already stained his collar.
The other party had come from the void and killed the strongest Demon King of them in a single blow. Even facing the other four, he was still sleeping soundly. This was already arrogant enough …
More importantly, he was even snoring … Wasn't this a little too much?
This was disrespecting the Demon Emperor Palace and the other Demon Kings!
"You're courting death …" With a face as dark as the bottom of a wok, Demon King Qing Yue gritted his teeth furiously.
No matter what, they were still the strongest experts in the world. No matter how strong the other party was, he should have shown them sufficient respect. There was no need for him to look down on them like that!
This was too much!
"Since you're so angry, Demon King Qing Yue, you should go and kill him!" Demon King Qing Yue ordered.
"Pu!"
Demon King Qing Yue's face reddened, and he spurted a mouthful of blood. Retreating two steps, he said, "I suffered a backlash from the seal earlier, so I can't make a move right now …"
"Bai Yu, you should make a move!" Demon King Qing Yue ordered.
"I … I made a mistake in my cultivation this morning, so my zhenqi is a little impure …" Bai Yu's face twitched as he waved his hands.
This fellow was an existence who had killed the Purple Wing Demon King in an instant. They were not that foolish to make a move first …
"A bunch of trash!"
Demon King Qing Yue scanned the surroundings and saw that the remaining Red Maple Demon Kings were not going to make a move either. Shaking his head, he said, "I'll count to three, and each of you will use your strongest means. If he doesn't retaliate, he'll die. If he does, we'll be able to gauge his cultivation and strength!"
The others nodded in agreement.
They might not dare to make a move first, but they could still make a move together.
Taking a deep breath, Demon King Qing Yue drove his demonic Qi to its limits. Lightning crackled all around him, and a powerful surge of energy of his body.
"One, Two …"
The energy in his body accumulated to the peak as he spoke, akin to boiling water. Demon King Qing Yue roared, "Three, do it!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Great Demon's attacks all slashed down at the same time. Space was unable to withstand it and was torn apart. Massive cracks appeared, and the ground rumbled as if meteors were falling.
Explosions rang out, and the tremors were so great that even the seal of the Demonic Imperial City was almost unable to withstand it.
The Great Demon's eyes were filled with excitement as they panted heavily.
Knowing the danger, they didn't hold back and executed their strongest attacks. Moreover, they clearly felt that all the power had landed on that "figure"!
Even the Demon King might not be able to withstand the attacks of four Peak Void Immortals, let alone a mere human cultivator!
The crowd quickly turned their gazes over, only to see a massive hole in the ground. It was hard to tell how deep it was. The shattered space had yet to fully recover, and it was still emanating a pitch-black hue.
"He should be dead …"
Demon King Bai Yu heaved a sigh of relief.
"More or less!" Demon King Red Maple nodded. "Without any immortal energy, the strongest cultivator should be at Pseudo Immortal realm pinnacle. Given how shattered space is, even an immortal artifact should be able to withstand it, needless to say, a human cultivator …"
"It's good that he's dead. No matter who he is, the fact that he was able to kill Demon King Purple Wing with a single strike means that he's definitely a top-notch expert …" Hei Yao nodded.
But before he could finish his words, Demon King Qing Yue's doubtful voice sounded, "Something's not right. Everyone, listen. I think there's a sound …"
Knowing that Demon King Qing Yue was the strongest among them, everyone's faces turned grim. They quickly perked up their ears and listened intently.
Hu hu ~
"What's that?" Bai Yu frowned.
"It seems like …" Red Maple's lips twitched as his cheeks twitched. "Snoring!"
“？？？”
Everyone was stunned once more. They turned their gazes toward the hole, and indeed, at the center of the shattered space, there was a figure lying flat on the ground. His eyes were tightly shut, and he was snoring loudly.
There wasn't the slightest injury on the figure at all. Even his clothes weren't damaged in the slightest, and there wasn't even a single strand of hair on his head … It was as if their combined attacks didn't even tickle him!
That was also the reason why he didn't wake up at all …
The only difference was that he wasn't lying flat on his back, so his snoring sounded even louder than before.
The Great Demon King Qing Yue felt chills running down his spine.
"I don't believe it!" Demon King Qing Yue roared furiously as he raised his hand. Hu! A crescent saber materialized before him.
It was a Quasi Immortal artifact, the Coldmoon Demonic Saber!
Complemented with his cultivation, this weapon was extremely famous even among Mortal realm cultivators. It had slain more than a dozen human experts who were on par with him in terms of cultivation.
The reason why the Demon King Qing Yue Yang was able to rise to such heights was because he had built up his reputation over and over again.
It could be said that the prowess of this weapon was on par with ordinary Immortal artifacts. Before it, Spirit pinnacle artifacts were nothing at all.
"Die!" With a furious roar, the Coldmoon Demonic Saber slashed down on the snoring figure.
Ding ding ding ding!
Slash after slash landed on the other party's neck, producing a series of metallic clangs.
After a dozen slashes, the Great Demon King Qing Yue Yang saw cracks appearing on the Half-Immortal artifact that he had relied on for his fame.
Kacha! Kacha! With a series of crisp sounds, the Half-Immortal artifact shattered into dust.
"Pu!" With a reddened face, Demon King Qing Yue spurted a mouthful of blood. He turned to look at the other party, only to see a few faint marks on the other party's neck. It was as if … the dust on his neck had been sliced off …
"…" Demon King Qing Yue Yang's vision darkened, and his body swayed uncontrollably.
To shatter a Half-Immortal artifact, there wasn't even a single mark on it. If not for the fact that the other party hadn't bathed for a long time, he might not have seen anything at all … What in the world was going on?
"Use your weapons as well …" Demon King Qing Yue Yang instructed.
"Alright!" Red Maple, Obsidian, and Bai Yu, the three Pseudo Immortal realm pinnacle Demon Kings, made their moves simultaneously. A sword, a spear, and a gigantic ax tore through the air.
They were also Half-Immortal artifacts. In fact, the Red Maple Demon King's weapon was once a damaged Immortal artifact.
In just a few breaths, the weapons that they had relied on for their fame had also shattered, and yet another patch of dust had been sliced off from the other party's neck.
The Great Demon King Qing Yue Yang's body trembled uncontrollably.
At this moment, they felt as if they weren't the strongest experts in the world but a bathhouse … Even after using all of their means, they had only managed to slice off a patch of the other party's dirt …
Huhuhu ~
The other party's snores grew louder and louder, as if he was soaking in a comfortable bath without the dirt on his body.
"Let's report this to the Demon King …"
Even after using their strongest means, they couldn't even harm a single strand of the other party's hair. This caused fear to well up in Demon King Bai Yu's heart.
"Are you going to tell the Demon King that we are useless?" Demon King Qing Yue Yang gritted his teeth.
The crowd fell silent.
If they were to report this matter to the Demon King, they would surely be reprimanded!
They had worked together to capture a young lady, but in the end, the young lady had managed to escape. Not only that, the Purple Wing Demon King had also been smashed to death on the spot …
But that wasn't all. The Great Demon King Qing Yue Yang had used all of his means, but he couldn't even kill the other party … In fact, he couldn't even wake the other party up. If news of this were to spread, how could he still have the face to command his subordinates?
The giant demons only believed in what they saw with their own eyes, regardless of what one said.
If they were to report the truth, others would surely think that they were making excuses … Otherwise, if there was really such a formidable expert around, they would have long been doomed!
"What should we do then?"
Ignoring the other party's question, Demon King Qing Yue turned around and asked, "Red Maple Demon King, if I recall correctly, you obtained a 'True Flame Celestial Amulet' when the Abyss River appeared three hundred years ago, right?"
"H-how did you know?" Red Maple Demon King was taken aback.
Every time the Abyss River appeared, it would be the best opportunity for them to raise their cultivation. As such, they would enter the Abyss River to search for treasures as well. It was just that each of them had their own plans. Even if they did find a treasure, they would keep it as a trump card and hide it secretly. It was just like how he had never mentioned the True Flame Celestial Amulet to anyone else, so how did the other party know about it?
"You don't have to worry about how I know about it. That's an immortal amulet. Once activated, even a True Immortal would be reduced to ashes … Once you use it, we'll kill him first!" Demon King Qing Yue harrumphed coldly.
Red Maple Demon King Qing Yue's face turned livid.
The True Flame Celestial Amulet was a single-use immortal amulet. While its value couldn't match up to an immortal artifact, it was still far more valuable than a Half-Immortal artifact. It was one of the best life-saving treasures. Once he used it, even the Demon King Qing Yue wouldn't be able to kill him!
This was also the reason why he had kept it a secret all this while. Who could have known that the other party would find out about it?
Seeing that the other party was still hesitating, Demon King Qing Yue continued, "If we don't kill him now, we might all die once he wakes up …"
"Alright!" Demon King Red Maple nodded.
A trump card that had been exposed was no longer a trump card. Since that was the case, he might as well use it!
If he could kill the other party and report the matter to the Demon King, he would surely be able to obtain some benefits.
With a flick of his wrist, a crimson jade token appeared before him. He infused his demonic energy into it, and in an instant, crimson flames burst forth from it.
In the next instant, the crater that the other party was in turned into a sea of flames.
Tzlala!
The temperature of the flames was simply too high. Even the surrounding space was unable to withstand the heat, and cracks of varying degrees began to appear.
"How powerful …"
Hei Yao and Bai Yu hurriedly retreated as their eyes narrowed in astonishment.
It was fortunate that Qing Yue knew that the other party had such an artifact. If he were to use it without their knowledge, they would have been reduced to ashes!
Even though the relationship between Demon Kings seemed to be harmonious, it wasn't as friendly as it seemed. Sometimes, for the sake of treasures and rewards, even close friends would resort to underhanded means.
It was for this reason that even though the Giant Demon Tribe was slightly stronger than the humans, they were still unable to emerge victorious. This was because everyone had their own plans.
"He's surely going to die this time …"
"There shouldn't be any problem. Even a True Immortal might not be able to withstand such flames …"
"How can a human possibly withstand such flames? There's no doubt that he's going to die!"
After recovering from their shock, the crowd burst into laughter.
Even though they were standing so far away, they were still unable to withstand such powerful flames. The other party who was trapped in the center of the flames would have long been reduced to charcoal.
Amidst the discussions, the flames continued for several dozen breaths, and a huge hole seemed to have been burned into the surrounding space. Only after the searing heat had subsided did the crowd slowly approach the other party.
Huhuhu ~
Snores sounded once more, and this time, it was even louder than before.
Everyone's faces twitched. Following which, they saw that the figure at the center of the flames was still sleeping soundly, not waking up at all. Not only so, his clothes were completely undamaged, and his hair was perfectly clean as well …
If there was any change, it would be that … there was less dust on his body. It was as if … they had just given him a bath, and now, they were giving him a sauna …
It couldn't be that this fellow felt that he was dirty, so he came here to take a bath, right?
"His clothes are … Immortal-tier artifacts!"
The Blackglory Demon King exclaimed with a quivering voice.
It could be said that one's body was indestructible due to one's high cultivation. Physical Yuan would automatically protect one's body. However … the fact that his clothes were completely unharmed after being struck by the flames of the Immortal Talisman could only mean one thing … the ordinary-looking clothes were at least Immortal-tier!
Only an artifact of that tier would be able to withstand so many attacks without sustaining any damage at all!
"His clothes are Immortal-tier artifacts, and his physical body is invincible … How are we supposed to kill him?" the Bai Yu Demon King asked in disbelief.
"It's indeed difficult to kill him with an Immortal-tier artifact protecting his body. However, there's one exception …" the Green Peak Demon King harrumphed coldly.
"You mean … poison?" the Red Maple Demon King asked in astonishment.
"That's right. Those who cultivate physical cultivation and possess invincible defense are most afraid of lethal poison!" The Green Peak Demon King nodded.
"But none of us specialize in it …"
"You aren't the only one who has obtained treasures. I have obtained some good stuff as well!" The Green Peak Demon King said with a smile. With a flick of his finger, a bizarre-looking jade bottle appeared in his hand. "This is a poison used by the Celestial World to kill pests. Since it can even kill pests in the Celestial World, it shouldn't be too difficult to kill him …"
The Celestial World was filled with immortal spiritual energy. Even a Pseudo Immortal realm cultivator wouldn't be able to deal with an ordinary bug. On top of that, the fact that this poison could kill pests showed just how fearsome it was!
"Is it really that formidable?" the White Imperial Demon King asked in disbelief.
"Give it a whiff and you'll know …" the Green Peak Demon King said as he uncorked the bottle and flicked it.
A surge of poison gas immediately rose into the air and flew toward the White Imperial Demon King.
The White Imperial Demon King was stunned for a moment, but he didn't dodge. Instead, he took a whiff, and his face immediately warped in horror. Fresh blood spurted from his mouth and nose.
"This …"
The White Imperial Demon King drove his demonic essence furiously, and it took him a long while before he finally regained some color. Excitement gleamed in his eyes as he exclaimed, "Just a whiff of it, and it doesn't even contain a ten-thousandth of the poison. Yet, I nearly succumbed to it. This poison is way too fearsome …"
Only after experiencing it for himself did he realize how powerful the poison was. Qing Yue had only imparted a tiny bit of its aura to him, and even with his cultivation, he had nearly succumbed to it. If he had consumed it, he would have surely been poisoned to death.
"Un!"
Seeing that the White Imperial Demon King had confirmed the potency of the poison, the Green Peak Demon King held his breath and flicked the bottle lightly.
The jade bottle immediately flew toward the sleeping figure, and in the blink of an eye, it was already right beside the other party's mouth. Slowly, it tilted the bottle, and as if flowing water, the poison was slowly dripped into the other party's mouth.
Oblivious to the danger that was approaching, the other party continued sleeping soundly. All of a sudden, the snoring came to a halt, and the other party stuck his tongue out and licked his lips.
"Good wine!"
“？？？”
The Great Demon King was bewildered.
