Chapter 673: The Power of Destruction

Penglai Continent, Demon God Temple

The Dragon Turtle Demon Emperor is teaching many demons. The humans are progressing, and so are the demons. After the Demon God Temple appeared, the Demon Queen shared its teachings with talented creatures of the demon clan, hoping they could learn their special powers earlier.

Besides that, the Demon God Temple is collecting valuable treasures from all over to feed these young demon creatures, helping them advance quickly.

Among the young demon creatures, there is one very special one – the Old Phoenix with a reincarnation body. Even though it looks similar to the other young demons now, it is unique. The Dragon Turtle Demon Emperor takes special care of it and gives Old Phoenix priority in consuming all the good things.

With the high-ranking Demon King of the Phoenix clan providing the Phoenix blood, Old Phoenix’s strength is improving rapidly. In just a few months of reincarnation, it has already reached the second level.

"The rise of the demon clan is near."

The Dragon Turtle Demon Emperor looks at the young demon creatures with joy in his heart. He wasn’t a core Demon Emperor before, but now that there are only three Demon Emperors in the demon clan, he naturally becomes a core figure and learns many secrets.

Demon Emperor Feng Jiu uses his Tao to achieve balance, making up for the laws of nature. The laws of nature have feedback, at least according to the Dragon Turtle Demon Emperor’s belief. There are examples too, like on the Penglai Continent, where many extinct creatures from the era of cultivation reappear.

Even if top-tier divine creatures appear now, the Dragon Turtle is not surprised. In its view, this is expected since the laws of nature are something the demon clan’s sages must make up for. Therefore, the rise of the demon clan is not unexpected.

"Demon Emperor, urgent news has come from the front lines. The humans have escaped from the Leon Base, and the Demon Queen is pursuing them."

"Haha, good, good."

Dragon Turtle Demon Emperor was very happy to hear the good news that the human race was going to be defeated. He would finally be able to go back to Shen Continent. Although Penglai was nice, he preferred Shen Continent because it was his old territory. It felt like home to him, familiar and comforting.

Just as Dragon Turtle Demon Emperor was about to say something else, his expression changed suddenly, and he said in fear, "Oh no, the humans are attacking. Quickly intercept the missiles!"

As soon as Dragon Turtle Demon Emperor spoke, four Demon Kings flew up into the sky. They had planned this in advance. The humans often launched missiles at their territory, so the Demon Kings were ready to intercept them. They usually sent four Demon Kings, who were strong enough for the task.

"Boom!"

One of the four Demon Kings saw a missile flying towards him at high speed. It felt different from previous attacks, but he didn’t think much of it and shot out a tentacle from his head.

"Failed to intercept?"

However, this time, when his tentacle touched the missile, it didn’t explode in mid-air as expected. Sensing danger, he quickly fled.

Dragon Turtle Demon Emperor also saw this and immediately bolstered the defenses of the Demon God Temple, channeling numerous spiritual energies into the protective shield.

In the sky, the missile was getting closer to the ground, about 300 meters away. The atomic bomb inside the missile exploded, but it was just a trigger for a more powerful hydrogen bomb.

"Boom!"

A super big mushroom cloud appeared, making the sky look like the sun had appeared, a real sun.

A terrifying white light swept across an area of five hundred kilometers, turning everything within that range into powder, including mountains, trees, rocks, and rivers.

The rising smoke and dust flew high into the sky, visible even from the spacecraft. Wu Li and others watched in shock at this scene.

"Is this the power of destruction?"

Wu Li sighed in his heart, realizing that the bomb he dropped was a nuclear bomb codenamed "Doomsday," the largest nuclear bomb ever made by humans.

The scene before them was even more than that. The shockwave was still spreading, causing mountains to collapse, trees to shatter, and countless mythical creatures to disappear instantly.

The release of such enormous energy also brought about terrifying earthquakes, shaking the land as if it had been struck by a massive meteorite. The entire Penglai Continent was trembling at that moment.

In the north of Penglai Continent, the Heavenly Fox Demon King looked south in terror. Even though the Gray Cloud Mountain stood tall in between, blocking the strongest shock waves, he still felt the world-destroying threat looming. As for the other monsters, at this moment, they were all as scared as ordinary wild animals, cowering on the ground without daring to move.

"Break through, quickly break through!"

Sanqi struggled to steady himself and shouted loudly into the intercom. By now, the aftershocks of the earthquake had arrived, but it was also their best opportunity.

"Beep, beep…"

In Ying Continent, the instruments at the earthquake bureau started frantically beeping, and Li Qing and the others all turned to look southward.

"What’s happening?"

"What’s going on?"

"What has happened in Penglai Continent?"

Several elders were inexplicably panicked, not knowing what was going on. They only received news of a severe earthquake, clueless about everything else, but they felt a sense of danger rising from the depths of their hearts.

"Quickly send someone to investigate, go ask Huaxia what’s going on."

Li Qing quickly calmed down. She didn’t believe this was an accident; she thought it was done on purpose.

On the sea surface, even though the place where the people were fighting was more than five thousand kilometers away from the place of the nuclear explosion, they could clearly feel that terrifying feeling. It was a suffocating feeling, as if a natural disaster was descending upon them, and they had no ability to stop it.

The Demon Kings were all panicking. They slowed down their attacks, and the cultivators did the same. Many cultivators used their Magical Eye to look and saw the shining sun.

When the mushroom cloud rose to a certain height, they could see clearly. The Demon Queen looked somewhat stunned as she felt a cold sensation in her hands and feet.

"Speed up, run fast!"

Lin Hongcong was shouting loudly in the command room. He knew what was happening – after the nuclear explosion, there would be an earthquake, followed by a huge tsunami. He hoped to escape to a safe area and urgently urged the aircraft carrier formation to run fast.

The battle paused because the shockwave from the nuclear explosion arrived, carrying terrifying nuclear radiation. Everyone opened their protective shields to prevent the radiation from touching them.

Soon, the tsunami caused by the earthquake arrived, but it couldn’t harm the people. They were fighting at altitudes of thousands of kilometers, while the tsunami passed by with a height of one to two hundred meters.

"Mean humans"

The Demon Queen looked coldly at Lin Jiang and Cao Ying, her resentment increasing tenfold. She knew that Penglai was doomed, but she didn’t know what happened to Old Phoenix and the others.

"Demon Queen, are you going to keep fighting?"

Lin Jiang said calmly that his plan was to lure the main forces of the demon clan away from Penglai and then destroy it. If they had stayed, the nuclear bomb could have been intercepted in the sky, reducing its effectiveness.

However, Lin Jiang wasn’t sure if he could defeat the Demon Queen right now, especially with two Demon Emperors on their side. He was already using the power of the Spatiotemporal Mirror to harass the Fire Scale Demon Emperor. In a direct confrontation, he wouldn’t stand a chance.

"One day, I will personally destroy you."

The Demon Queen was furious, realizing that they couldn’t continue the fight. Even though she had brought out most of the demon clan’s experts, they hadn’t brought their descendants with them. There were hundreds of dormant little demon beasts, causing chaos among the troops. They couldn’t go on fighting.

"Uncle, are we just going to let them go like this?"

"We can’t stop them. It’s better not to pursue a defeated enemy."

Lin Jiang said. Now the demons are eager to return to Penglai to check the situation. If we pursue and intercept them, the demons will definitely fight to the death. Lin Jiang can’t afford to lose any more manpower now.

"That’s right, once you advance to Tao Achieving, you won’t be afraid of them anymore."

Cao Ying nodded. "The battle between the two tribes is like a national war, competing in national strength. The human tribe advances faster than the demon tribe. As time goes on, they are in a more advantageous position."

"Let’s go, let’s go back."

Lin Jiang nodded. The last group of people at Leon Base are already safe. Their goal has been achieved, so they can go back now.
