Chapter 658: The Emergence of the Monster Clan

The area where the Demon God Temple is located is in the central region of Zhou Liao, while Lin Jiang is in the eastern part of Zhou Liao, a far distance away. If it weren’t for the significant activity at the Demon God Temple, Lin Jiang would not have known about it.

On his way to the Demon God Temple, Lin Jiang also pondered. He realized that his knowledge about the monster clan was not deep enough, and he had no idea about their layout, making him worried about the effectiveness of his own plans.

At the same time, the appearance of the Demon God Temple also alarmed the leaders of Zhou Liao. Seeing such a sudden emergence of a building from satellite images, they were all shocked and immediately ordered the nearby troops to launch an attack.

However, as the heritage site of the monster clan, the Demon God Temple was not easily breached. Whether it was missiles, cannons, or spiritual energy weapons, they were all easily blocked by the protective shield of the Demon God Temple.

Meanwhile, the Demon God Temple was crazily absorbing spiritual energy, gathering it from miles around like a river flowing towards it. Inside the Demon God Temple, the monsters were gradually awakening.

"Roar…"

Outside the Demon God Temple, the sleeping monsters were hurrying towards the temple, absorbing spiritual energy as they ran, refining it into demonic power, their aura rising rapidly.

"Roar"

On the way, Lin Jiang encountered a blockade, a Divine Ape blocked his path. Lin Jiang remembered that the Divine Ape Demon Emperor was once one of the top Demon Emperors of the demon clan. The elite of the Divine Ape clan stood before him.

"Die"

Without hesitation, Lin Jiang unleashed the Lamp Burning Technique at fifty times its power, shattering the Divine Ape. A sixth-level Divine Ape fell prematurely, after sleeping for tens of thousands of years.

"Thud, thud, thud…"

Just as Lin Jiang was approaching the Demon God Temple, a dull sound suddenly rang out. Lin Jiang’s head ached, almost falling from mid-air. He quickly steadied himself, channeling spiritual energy to resist.

"Kuiniu Drum"

Lin Jiang growled softly, knowing what was attacking him. It was one of the demon clan’s ancestral treasures, the Kuiniu Drum. When the Kuiniu Drum is struck, it can boost the demon clan’s energy and make them fearless in battle, increasing their strength by thirty percent. On the contrary, it can also weaken the enemy’s power.

Lin Jiang looked back, probably to help Feng Thirteen, but he wasn’t sure if Feng Jiu or Lin Fanghua was drumming.

Finally, Lin Jiang arrived in front of the Demon God Temple, where a woman was waiting. It was none other than the Demon Queen, Lin Fanghua.

"Uncle, I didn’t expect to see you again."

"I didn’t expect it either, Fanghua. Where is your father?"

"He’s inside, recovering his strength. Uncle, do you want to meet him?"

"Move aside."

"Uncle, why are you like this? You know I won’t move aside, and I can’t move aside."

"Then let’s fight."

Lin Jiang pointed his sword at Lin Fanghua, knowing she was stalling.

"Uncle, demons are also creatures of this world, endless killing is pointless. Why not stop here and let humans and demons live in peace? My kind only needs our former territory."

"Can’t go back."

"Can’t go back," Lin Jiang said. With that, he attacked with a move named One Sword Flying Immortal, aiming at Lin Fanghua. A light screen appeared in front of Lin Fanghua, blocking all of Lin Jiang’s attacks.

"The Demon God Temple is full of spiritual energy, even with Uncle’s current skills, it can’t be broken through."

"Then I’ll break in and kill you."

Lin Jiang shouted and tried to rush into the Demon God Temple, but was still blocked by the light screen, achieving nothing.

"The rise of the demon clan is unstoppable, Uncle, no need to be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot."

"Lin Fanghua, things are different now from before, this land is no longer a place for you."

Lin Jiang shook his head and stopped attacking. He put on his earpiece and ordered Huaxia, Qingyun, and Zhou Liao to focus their firepower on Demon God Temple. Lin Jiang was determined to break through the temple’s defenses.

At the same time, he asked Lin Huafei and four others to join the battle and instructed them to forcefully break through their Soul Changing abilities.

Lin Jiang’s instructions proved effective. Within three minutes, the first wave of attacks hit the temple, with more on the way. Those with Star Charts could see missiles covering the sky above the three nations.

"Boom, boom…"

Wave after wave of missiles arrived, but Lin Fanghua remained unfazed. These attacks seemed insignificant to her, lacking in strength.

When Lin Huafei and his team arrived, they brought Huaxia’s most advanced fighter jet. The jet had an antenna-like device on the front that emitted a laser beam thicker than a person. The laser struck the temple’s shield, rapidly depleting its power.

Another jet was equipped with the state-of-the-art Spiritual Cannon, far more powerful than the rockets they used to carry. A single shot caused the temple’s shield to tremble.

"Prepare to launch a nuclear strike, quickly and with maximum impact."

Lin Jiang spoke solemnly, recognizing that the Spiritual Cannon and laser weapons were insufficient to penetrate the temple’s defenses due to low energy reserves. He decided to deploy a nuclear weapon.

"Sir, using nuclear weapons on Zhou Liao’s land must have Zhou Liao’s permission. It’s best if Zhou Liao launches them."

"Do you think they will agree?"

"No, currently the largest nuclear weapon in Huaxia is called ‘World’s End,’ equivalent to two billion tons of TNT. If released, within a radius of three thousand miles, no ordinary person would survive, and areas up to thousands of miles away would be affected. Based on initial calculations by artificial intelligence, over ten million ordinary people in Zhou Liao would die, and five hundred million people would be impacted. With the current medical resources, we can treat the radiation damage, but we don’t have enough resources for such a massive aftermath."

"What if I give the order forcefully?"

"Sir, if you give such an order, I will obey it. But I must point out, doing so will tarnish your reputation for generations."

"I won’t do it, more people will die."

"Sir, if you give the order now, you will be responsible for killing them. You will bear the blame. If you don’t act, the killings will be attributed to the monsters, and you, as a human leader, will have a positive influence. Please consider calmly, sir."

Through his earpiece, Lin Jiang heard the voice of his secretary, which instantly made him calm down. He realized he had lost his composure.

The secretary’s words were right. If Lin Jiang unleashed the nuclear bomb, it indeed would be for the good of humanity, wiping out the monsters, resulting in fewer deaths. However, Lin Jiang would bear the blame and be remembered as the greatest killer in human history. Even his followers would turn away from him for this.

In the world of ordinary people, after many years of development, they have their own universal values. There were a lot of protests within the three countries after the atomic bomb was dropped during World War II, so eventually the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons was established.

"Since we don’t need nuclear weapons, do we have laser weapons and Spiritual Cannons?"

Lin Jiang took a deep breath, gave up the idea of using nuclear weapons. He would rather face more serious consequences than bear the blame, as doing so would ruin his previous plans. Lin Jiang had to think for himself.

"We still have laser weapons, but they are not mounted on fighter jets, they are stationary. Only the Spiritual Cannon is vehicle-mounted, we are figuring out how to deploy them to the battlefield as quickly as possible."

"As soon as possible."

Lin Jiang said, looking up, the laser aircraft had run out of energy and retreated, and the Spiritual Cannon aircraft was also about to leave.

"Elders."

Lin Huafei and others arrived in front of Lin Jiang. They had come in an emergency and had not yet broken through their cultivation, but they had already taken the elixir, and their aura was rapidly increasing.

"Prepare for battle, all the dormant monsters are here."

"Ancestor, should we awaken the other senior brothers?"

"It’s too late, follow me and try your best to break the protective shield of the Demon God Temple."

Lin Jiang said that he was not aware of Feng Thirteen’s sudden actions in advance, so it was too late. Now they can only rely on the five of them. They hope to gather the power of five Soul Changers to break the Demon God Temple and kill as many dormant demon tribes as possible.
