Chapter 1273

The Demon Clan's Losses

The Dream Demon Ancestor and the Shocking Demon Ancestor, the two supreme beings of the Demon Clan, watched as the human race attempted to flee. How could they possibly let the humans escape just like that? They had already lost three Universe Masters—what a terrifying loss! Since the rise of the Demon Clan until now, they had never suffered such casualties, especially not right before their eyes. “Flee? Do you truly believe you can escape?” The Dream Demon Ancestor and the Shocking Demon Ancestor simultaneously transformed into phantoms, their speeds rapidly accelerating to ten times the speed of light, then a hundred times… In an instant, the Dream Demon Ancestor morphed into a colossal silver serpent, hundreds of millions of kilometers long, directly blocking the path of the fleeing human race. At that very moment, figures of Demon Clan Universe Masters appeared beside the Shocking Demon Ancestor—the nine previously injured Universe Masters. “Stay by my side and besiege the humans!” the Shocking Demon Ancestor commanded. “Yes!” “Damn humans.” “Roar~~~” These Demon Clan Universe Masters, some avian, some monstrous beasts, unleashed a torrent of attacks from beside the Shocking Demon Ancestor, covering the sky and earth! Illusions, soul attacks, mental-force weapon assaults… Even Luo Feng, the Dark Master, and the Peng Gong Master struggled under the instantaneous onslaught. Although they had caused the loss of three opponents, those lost were considered the weakest among the original twelve Demon Clan Universe Masters. Now, with their Divine Bodies almost fully recovered, each Demon Clan Master unleashed their power, their combined attacks still terrifying. “Rumble~~~” Countless shattered spatial particles swirled, forming a black storm, its tip being the ‘Shattered Domain Cone’. “Whoosh!” A cyan phantom also whistled past. “Damn it!” While controlling his treasure, the Dream Demon Ancestor also transformed into a phantom. “Whoosh~~~” Above the human race, a spherical palace treasure appeared. The colossal crystal sphere floated, exerting a powerful suction force directly upon the human faction. For a moment… The Demon Clan had already unleashed their full might. If any human were to be careless, they would likely be sucked in, suppressed, and sealed! “Hahaha, when it comes to suppression-type treasures, your Demon Clan is far inferior.” The Dark Master waved his hand, vanishing completely. Simultaneously, a black light appeared, soaring above the Demon Clan and continuously expanding as it flew, transforming into a colossal black pyramid. The base of the black pyramid revealed an endless abyss. A powerful suction force immediately pulled down towards the Demon Clan below. “Be careful, all of you!” the Shocking Demon Ancestor transmitted, “Do not leave my vicinity.” “Yes.” “Yes.” “We were continuously besieged before, that’s why Sirius and Mohu fell.” These Demon Clan Masters showed no fear. Even without the Shocking Demon Ancestor, as long as they weren't subjected to other attacks, these combined Demon Clan Masters could resist the suction. Not to mention, the Shocking Demon Ancestor was protecting them. At the edge of the abyss at the bottom of the Black Prison Tower, which floated above the Demon Clan, figures suddenly appeared—the group of Universe Masters from the human race. “Demon Clan!” “Demon Clan, prepare to die!” The Ice Peak Master, Dragon Travel Master, Desolate Mirror Master, and a large group of other beings showed no mercy. From the edge of the Black Prison Tower's abyss, they unleashed overwhelming attacks downwards. Including the Dark Master within the Black Prison Tower, there were a total of thirteen attackers! In terms of Divine Bodies, there were seventeen! For a moment, nine Divine Bodies simultaneously attacked the group of Demon Clan Universe Masters below, while the other eight Divine Bodies (including the Dark Master) jointly assaulted the Shocking Demon Ancestor. “Hmph~~” Divine power steamed from the Shocking Demon Ancestor's body, transforming into countless monstrous beasts, resisting attack after attack. Simultaneously, he controlled the ‘Shattered Domain Cone’ to strike the Black Prison Tower. The Black Prison Tower's suction and the human Universe Masters' relentless bombardment were indeed extremely troublesome. “Boom~~~” The black storm crashed into the Black Prison Tower. Under the impact, the Shattered Domain Cone tumbled amidst countless spatial particle streams, and the Black Prison Tower was sent flying. The human Universe Masters inside the tower also had to temporarily cease their attacks. “Boom!” “Boom!” Luo Feng and the Peng Gong Master, one wielding the Blood Shadow Blade and the other the Yan Jun Staff, simultaneously confronted the Dream Demon Ancestor! Luo Feng's Blood Shadow Blade was incredibly sharp, possessing terrifying penetrative power. The Yan Jun Staff, on the other hand, was immensely heavy and powerful… With the two working in tandem, even if the Dream Demon Ancestor employed every trick, engaging in close combat and mental-force weapon attacks simultaneously, he was still pushed onto the defensive, let alone being able to deal with both Luo Feng and the Peng Gong Master. “Thud~~” Luo Feng's Blood Shadow Blade clashed once with the Dream Demon Ancestor's lashing tail, sending him involuntarily flying backward. “Go!” Luo Feng abruptly waved his hand. Mid-air, a Tombstone Boat appeared out of nowhere! The Tombstone Boat, grand and imposing, directly charged towards the Shocking Demon Ancestor. “Useless.” The Shocking Demon Ancestor, leading the nine Demon Clan Universe Masters beside him, moved slightly downwards, easily evading the Tombstone Boat. The weakness of the Tombstone Boat was already well-known. Though indestructible, it was utterly incapable of external attack! “Rumble~~~” Just then, the Black Prison Tower above seemed to go berserk, suddenly descending. The thirteen Universe Masters, including the Dark Master, and their seventeen Divine Bodies, all furiously attacked downwards. Moreover, the Black Prison Tower itself crashed down with a rumble. For a moment… A full nine Divine Bodies all attacked the Shocking Demon Ancestor! The Black Prison Tower also slammed down towards the Shocking Demon Ancestor below. “Get lost.” As the Shocking Demon Ancestor controlled the ‘Shattered Domain Cone’ and resisted with all his might— At this very moment— *Whoosh!* The Shocking Demon Ancestor hadn't paid it any mind; it was merely the Tombstone Boat that had slightly descended and been evaded earlier. Yet, in the instant this very Tombstone Boat whistled past their group of Demon Clan Masters, the Universe Masters who were currently under attack by seven Divine Bodies, actually… *Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!* A full six figures were instantly sucked into the Tombstone Boat! “Swoosh!” The Tombstone Boat sped past, flying far into the distance. The Shocking Demon Ancestor and the three surviving Demon Clan Masters were stunned for a long moment, then they were all shocked! And enraged! “No!!!” The Shocking Demon Ancestor let out an enraged roar. “Humans, humans, humans!!!” The Forbidden Annihilation Master, Blood Engraving Master, and Catfish Scorching Master were also driven to near madness by fury. *Whoosh!* The Shocking Demon Ancestor immediately took the three surviving Demon Clan Universe Masters into his peak palace treasure. Then, the colossal, saw-toothed shelled monstrous beast roared, its speed skyrocketing to its limit as it charged towards the Tombstone Boat. At this moment, the Shocking Demon Ancestor had completely gone mad, falling into a state of frenzy, even forgetting that he couldn't possibly break open the Tombstone Boat. “No!” Only then did the distant Dream Demon Ancestor realize what had truly happened. “Humans, humans.” The Dream Demon Ancestor also let out a shrill shriek, his speed surging as he too charged towards the Tombstone Boat. Meanwhile, the Peng Gong Master, Luo Feng, and the Dark Master who emerged from the floating Black Prison Tower, exchanged glances and smiled faintly. “No, no, no!” The furiously roaring Shocking Demon Ancestor quickly caught up to the Tombstone Boat. He controlled the ‘Shattered Domain Cone’, repeatedly smashing it against the Tombstone Boat with a whistle, turning the surrounding space into an endless stream of particles, the impact even reaching deep into the spatial rifts. Impact after impact! Frenzied attacks! The Shocking Demon Ancestor himself was attacking the Tombstone Boat with all his might. “Break, break, break.” At this moment, the Shocking Demon Ancestor was filled with rage, guilt, and unwillingness. These intense emotions drove him to frantically attack the Tombstone Boat. Even the Dream Demon Ancestor, who had caught up, was in a similar state of frenzy and unwillingness, also attacking the Tombstone Boat madly. Yet, the Tombstone Boat continued its majestic advance. “What happened? What exactly occurred just now? I only felt an extremely powerful will impact,” the Shocking Demon Ancestor transmitted, conversing with the three Universe Masters inside his palace treasure. Inside the palace treasure's space. The Forbidden Annihilation Master, Blood Engraving Master, and the third Master were all coiled upon the vast grassland. They hadn't yet recovered from the previous blow when they heard the Shocking Demon Ancestor's voice echoing across the entire grassland. “We were under attack by that group of human Universe Masters, each giving our all… We had no other defenses,” the Forbidden Annihilation Master said hoarsely, his head bowed, his triangular pupils flashing with furious golden light. “That Tombstone Boat flew past us, and suddenly an extremely terrifying will impact swept over us! Only because the Blood Engraving Master, the Catfish Scorching Master, and I possess extremely strong wills were we able to remain conscious and desperately resist that sudden suction force!” “Though I only saw it for an instant, I saw it clearly.” The colossal monstrous beast, covered in blood-red scales with spikes along its back, spoke, “When that Tombstone Boat flew past us, its hatch was open! And from the hatch emanated an incredibly terrifying will impact. Coupled with the fact that we were all under attack by those human Universe Masters, some with soul attacks, illusion attacks, etc., under this sudden will impact… even I barely managed to stay conscious. It's perfectly normal for other Universe Masters to instantly lose control and be sucked in.” “Will? A powerful will impact? Could it be that the human race moved the ‘Black-Patterned Stone Pillar’ into that Tombstone Boat?” The Shocking Demon Ancestor and the Dream Demon Ancestor hovered in the starry sky, having ceased their attacks. They were utterly helpless against the Tombstone Boat. “Damn it.” The Dream Demon Ancestor was furious. “Among the twelve Universe Masters we brought this time, the strongest, Forbidden Annihilation and Blood Engraving, resisted, and Catfish Scorching is exceptionally skilled in will! Only those three… Among the twelve Universe Masters who came this time, five had Divine Bodies! Forbidden Annihilation and Catfish Scorching are two of them; the other three who were sucked in and suppressed should soon self-destruct. Although they'll lose their treasures, they can at least save their lives.” “In this battle, we lost six Universe Masters! Half! And a large number of supreme treasures!” As the Dream Demon Ancestor and the Shocking Demon Ancestor summarized, their hearts twisted in agony. A total of twelve had come. One was annihilated, and eight were captured! Fortunately, among the eight captured, three had Divine Bodies… allowing them to self-destruct and escape! “Rumble~~~” The Tombstone Boat flew towards the distance, and the Black Prison Tower in the distance also flew towards the Tombstone Boat. “The humans are all hiding inside the Black Prison Tower.” “What now?” The Dream Demon Ancestor and the Shocking Demon Ancestor watched from afar, but what could they do? Attack the Black Prison Tower? That would only be a waste of time. So, they could only watch helplessly as the Tombstone Boat's hatch opened again. Though they gritted their teeth, they dared not fly into the hatch, and thus could only watch the Black Prison Tower fly directly inside.
