Chapter 1220

Gao Shu

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Everyone's gaze fell on the demonic youth who had descended from the demonic clouds. The purple-robed man and Green Jade were both at the Third Heaven Emperor Realm, while Green Jade was at the Second Heaven Emperor Realm. Both of them represented the strongest combat power in the Great Cang Mansion. However, both of them were instantly killed by the demonic youth?

All the martial artists in Great Cang City started to tremble. Their faces were pale and their legs were trembling. They stared at the demonic youth who was floating in the air with fear in their eyes. The only two Emperor Realm martial artists in Great Cang Mansion had been killed by him. Who else could stop this demonic youth?

"Are you … still going to put up a resistance?"

Zhuowen stood in the air and looked down at all the martial artists in Great Cang City. His clear voice was like a demon's voice as it spread out and lingered in everyone's ears.

All the martial artists in Great Cang City slowly retreated. The fear in their eyes became more and more intense. They were starting to feel afraid.

"Those who surrender will not die. Those who put up a resistance will be killed."

Zhuowen spat out another sentence, which finally destroyed the confidence of all the martial artists in Great Cang City. Then, the city gates of Great Cang City slowly opened and the Ryūka martial artists cheered as they poured into Great Cang City.

Swoosh!

Elder Shiyuan and Lü Hantian rushed to Zhuowen's side. Lü Hantian looked at Zhuowen in surprise and said, "Zhuowen, your demonic avatar has broken through to the Second Heaven Demon Emperor Realm?"

Zhuowen smiled and nodded. He had confirmed Lü Hantian's guess.

"That's fast!"

Lü Hantian and Elder Shiyuan looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. A Demon Emperor and an ordinary Emperor Realm martial artist were two completely different concepts. The difficulty of breaking through to the Demon Emperor Realm was definitely hundreds of times more difficult than an ordinary Emperor Realm martial artist. Perhaps some talented geniuses could break through from the First Heaven Emperor Realm to the Second Heaven Emperor Realm in three years, but it was impossible for a demonic cultivator to do so.

However, Zhuowen had done it. There was no doubt that Zhuowen's talent in demonic cultivation was far beyond an ordinary demonic cultivator. Of course, if Lü Hantian and Elder Shiyuan knew that Zhuowen had the Lord of the Supreme Demon Emperor Realm by his side, they would not be so surprised.

It was indeed not too difficult for a Second Heaven Demon Emperor to kill an ordinary Third Heaven Emperor Realm martial artist. After knowing that Zhuowen had reached the Second Heaven Demon Emperor Realm, Lü Hantian and Elder Shiyuan were not too surprised.

"You can occupy the Great Cang Mansion first. Next, I plan to use my demonic avatar to conquer the other six Prefectures with you. I will strive to unify the seven Prefectures within five years and bring my Long Family to an unparalleled level of power."

As Zhuowen spoke, he took a step forward and entered Dacang Mansion. Elder Shiyuan and Lü Hantian looked at each other and were pleasantly surprised. They knew that with the help of Zhuowen's demonic avatar, conquering the other six Prefectures would be much easier.

The reason Zhuo Wen proposed this was mainly because the Extreme Devil Lord had told him that if he wanted to make a quick breakthrough in his Extreme Devil Battle Art, the only way was through constant fighting. Zhuo Wen hoped that while conquering the other six prefectures, he would be able to fight against powerful Emperor Realm cultivators. This would allow his Extreme Devil Battle Art to break through and allow his Demon Emperor Realm to reach a higher level.

When Ryūka completely conquered Dacang Mansion, the entire Panicked Great World was shaken. Ryūka's name spread across the seven Prefectures. Countless forces knew about the rising force called Ryūka.

Although the upper echelons of the seven major prefectures had all disappeared without a trace in the ruins of the Supreme Demon Sect, the seven major prefectures were, after all, a huge force that had been passed down for many years, and their foundation was much deeper than ordinary forces. If they wanted to attack a colossus like the Great Cang Mansion, without an extremely strong high-end force, it was simply impossible.

The rumour about Ryūka's Long Wen also spread like wildfire. He had killed the remaining two Emperor Realm experts of the Dacang Mansion in an instant. One of them was a Third Level Emperor Realm expert, while the other was a Second Level Emperor Realm expert. Many warriors fell silent when they heard such a rumour.

Killing a Third Level Emperor Realm expert in an instant. Such strength had already reached the level of the Lord of the seven Prefectures. If the Lord of the seven Prefectures didn't appear, no one would be able to compete with him. However, the Lord of the seven Prefectures had disappeared in the Supreme Demon Sect Ruins. Therefore, everyone knew that the rise of Ryūka was unstoppable. After all, with such a terrifying existence like Long Wen, it was reasonable for Ryūka to conquer Dacang Mansion.

The Ryūka spent half a year moving their base of operations to Dacang City. They began to establish their forces in Dacang City. At the same time, they announced that they would be recruiting new blood from the Dacang Prefecture. They would select talented geniuses to join the Ryūka, causing the Ryūka's forces to continuously grow.

On the other hand, Demon Dao's Zhuowen led Lü Hantian, Elder Shiyuan, Zhuo Xiangding, and a group of Ryūka elites to conquer the other six Prefectures. With Zhuowen's existence and the terrifying battle strength of the Ryūka's upper echelons, the Ryūka army was unstoppable. They conquered one city after another.

With the Dacang Prefecture as the center, they first conquered the Dacang Prefecture, followed by the Great Tang Prefecture, the Great Han Prefecture, and the Great Chu Prefecture. These four Prefectures were much weaker than the Great Zhou Prefecture and the Great Qin Prefecture, and they did not even have many Emperor Realm cultivators left. As such, the Ryūka army did not encounter much resistance in these four Prefectures.

What was worth noting was that the Great Qin Mansion and the Great Zhou Institute were actually impregnable. Moreover, both the Great Qin Mansion and the Great Zhou Institute actually had a fourth level Emperor Realm cultivator overseeing them. Although Zhuo Wen's demonic avatar had reached the second level Demon Emperor Realm, his battle prowess was at most comparable to a fourth level Emperor Realm cultivator. It was basically impossible for him to defeat or kill a fourth level Emperor Realm cultivator.

Moreover, the Great Qin Prefecture and the Great Zhou Prefecture knew that the Ryūka army was too powerful, and the two Prefectures were intimately interdependent. As such, the Great Qin Prefecture and the Great Zhou Prefecture came to an agreement and joined forces. The armies of the two Prefectures gathered at the Great Qin Prefecture's Gaoshu Prefecture.

Gaoshu Prefecture was an extremely dangerous place in the Great Qin Prefecture. Its terrain ranged from low to high, and it was a classic example of a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. This was also why the Great Zhou Prefecture's army was gathered at the Great Qin Prefecture.

The Great Qin Prefecture and the Great Zhou Prefecture's two Fourth Stage Emperors were also stationed at Gaoshu Prefecture. Zhuowen had fought with these two Fourth Stage Emperors before, but he was unable to do anything to them. In fact, the two of them were even able to suppress Zhuowen when working together.

"We've already stopped at Gaoshu Prefecture for two years, and we haven't been able to attack for two whole years."

Lü Hantian stood on a tall mountain slope as he stared at the Gaoshu Prefecture's perilous terrain with a trace of worry in his eyes.

Elder Shiyuan stood beside Lü Hantian and sighed, "It's basically impossible for the Ryūka army to break through this perilous terrain. If we want to win this battle, Zhuowen has to defeat the two Emperor Realm cultivators and destroy the only obstacle at Gaoshu Prefecture. Only then will our Ryūka army be able to enter Gaoshu Prefecture unimpeded and take down the Great Qin Prefecture."

"Once the Great Qin Prefecture takes down the Great Zhou Prefecture, the already deserted Great Zhou Prefecture will not be a problem either."

Lu Hantian nodded. In the void behind him, there were extremely dense demonic clouds lingering and gathering. Above the demonic clouds, a demonic young man with long black and red hair sat cross-legged quietly.

"Zhuowen is breaking through to the third level of the Demon Emperor Realm. If he can completely break through to the third level of the Demon Emperor Realm, the two Emperor Realm cultivators from the Great Qin Prefecture and Great Zhou Prefecture won't be a problem. I hope that Zhuowen can succeed this time," Lü Hantian muttered in a low voice.

He was very clear that this battle was mainly dependent on Zhuowen. If Zhuowen could defeat the two Emperor Realm cultivators, then the Ryūka army would definitely win this battle.

Above the demonic clouds, Zhuowen slowly opened his eyes and muttered in a low voice, "There's still some distance between me and the third level of the Demon Emperor Realm. Perhaps I can try this."

As he spoke, Zhuowen flicked his finger and took out a black ball. This black ball contained extremely dense Extreme Demonic Battle Qi. It was the two balls of Extreme Demonic Battle Qi essence that he had obtained from the two Demon Statues.

Back then, Zhuowen had only used one ball of Extreme Demonic Battle Qi essence to form his Demon Body, and he had kept the other ball. Now, Zhuowen decided to use the remaining ball of Extreme Demonic Battle Qi essence to forcefully break through to the third level of the Demon Emperor Realm.

"I hope it won't disappoint me."

As he spoke, Zhuowen clenched his right hand and crushed the black ball. The terrifying Extreme Demonic Battle Qi circled around Zhuowen and covered his entire body, making him look even more mysterious and distant.

In the land of Gaochu, there were groups of soldiers in fine armor patrolling the various passages. The inside was airtight and heavily guarded. However, these soldiers all had a rather similar action, and that was to frequently raise their heads to look at the sky with reverence in their eyes.

This was because there were two majestic figures sitting cross-legged quietly floating in the sky above Gao Shu. These two figures were surrounded by a terrifying Emperor's Might. The Emperor's Might that spread out was like a towering mountain, causing all things to tremble.

These two figures were the only Emperor Realm cultivators in the Great Qin Palace and Great Zhou Institute. The Emperor Realm cultivator from the Great Qin Palace was called Qin Lei. He was rather old, and his hair was white. However, his face was rosy and he was as lively as a young man.

The Emperor Realm cultivator from the Great Zhou Institute was called Zhou Yan. This Zhou Yan was an extremely talented youth in the Great Zhou Institute. He was only around 85 years old, but his cultivation had already reached the Emperor Realm.

These two people were left behind by the Great Qin Palace and Great Zhou Institute's Mansion Masters in advance to suppress the bad elements in the Great Zhou Institute and maintain order in the Great Demonic Sect. After all, this trip to the Great Demonic Sect Ruins was risky. If they brought all the elites in the Great Qin Palace and something unexpected happened, the Great Zhou Institute would definitely fall into chaos.

"That Ryūka Longwen has already stayed in the demonic clouds for two months. I wonder what he's doing?"

Zhou Yan frowned slightly. His sharp gaze gathered above the demonic clouds in the sky as if he wanted to see through it.
