Volume 7 Chapter 32: Building Up Power (Part 1)

The fierce battle had lasted for a full two hours.

The originally pitch-black night sky, filled with endless darkness, was pierced by rays of sunlight emerging from the edge of the heavenly mystery, and as visibility increased, the brutality and bloodshed on the battlefield became even more glaring.

Outside Rainbow Spirit Seven Islands, under Shen Gang’s command, the radiant barrier was desperately resisting the countless powerful demon beasts attacking from outside. At the same time, under the direction of Old Beggar, countless white clouds suddenly gathered around Rainbow Spirit Seven Islands, covering the sky and the stars, making the world appear dim, as if the end of days was upon us.

Then, a storm arose across the land and sky, with endless white clouds suddenly unleashing countless flashes of lightning and roars of thunder, as snow and rain poured down towards the endless East Sea Demon Monsters below the clouds.

As the endless white clouds gathered, the overwhelming presence made countless demon beasts outside Rainbow Spirit Seven Islands feel alert. However, these East Sea Demon Monsters had long been accustomed to rampaging in the East Sea. While the white clouds made them wary, they did not pay enough attention and continued to charge recklessly at the radiant barrier outside Rainbow Spirit Seven Islands.

However, as the countless "Disaster Clouds" in the sky began their attack, the East Sea Demon Monsters finally realized the terror of the Disaster Clouds.

Although the "Disaster Cloud" created by Old Beggar was not as undetectable and stealthy as Zhang Xusheng’s, it was much stronger in offensive power. After forming the "Disaster Cloud Formation," its power increased even further. As the first wave of lightning descended from the "Disaster Cloud," under Shen Gang’s command, the first to suffer were the aerial strong birds. With a series of rumbling sounds, endless golden bolts of lightning struck those aerial strong birds closest to the "Disaster Cloud," instantly filling the air with countless cries of pain, and numerous charred bird bodies, along with a variety of feathers, fell from the sky like raindrops.

Next, the "Disaster Cloud Formation" showed no signs of stopping, continuing to unleash endless thunder, lightning, wind, and snow. Looking around within thirty miles of Rainbow Spirit Seven Islands, the world was in chaos, with blinding lightning and raging wind and snow. The heavens and earth were awash in the golden color of lightning and the white of the snowstorm, accompanied by the sorrowful cries of numerous demon beasts suffering heavy losses, creating a scene of despair resembling hell.

Old Beggar and Xu Qingfan spent a total of forty years, together with the unique situation of Rainbow Spirit Seven Islands, to create a defensive and offensive system using countless rare treasures of heaven and earth, which now finally revealed its terrifying power.

In the realm of the East Sea, although there were countless demon beasts, those in the sea were the dominant ones and were stronger. While there were many aerial strong birds, they were far inferior compared to the sea demon beasts, and their strength was not comparable. At this moment, the aerial strong birds surrounding Rainbow Spirit Seven Islands, though gathered from all demon beasts within three thousand miles, actually posed little threat to Rainbow Spirit Seven Islands.

The attack power and force of the "Disaster Cloud" were so strong that the demon beasts that were attacking Rainbow Spirit Seven Islands automatically stopped their charge. They stood still, gazing at the "Disaster Cloud" in the sky, watching the lightning it unleashed brighten the dark world, seeing how the wind and snow from the "Disaster Cloud" filled the space, and witnessing how its attacks easily defeated the strong birds in the air. By the time they realized what was happening, only a few strong birds were left in the sky.

Once the demon beasts reacted, they all let out thunderous roars, each using their amazing powers to summon towering water columns from the sea, rushing towards the endless "Disaster Cloud" in the sky to attack.

However, although these water columns were aimed at the "Disaster Cloud," by the time they charged up from the sea to the sky, their power had diminished to two or three levels. While the "Disaster Cloud" shook from the impact, it posed no real threat.

As the strong birds in the East Sea were caught off guard and were killed, the other demon beasts, despite their strength, had little ability to fly. Even when they combined their efforts to create water columns to counter the "Disaster Cloud," they could not pose a significant threat. In that moment, under the relentless barrage of lightning and thunder from the "Disaster Cloud," these powerful demon beasts found themselves in a situation where they could only endure attacks without the ability to counter.

Constantly, East Sea Demon Monsters were struck by lightning and turned into charred bodies, sinking forever into the depths of the East Sea, never to be seen again. Meanwhile, the endless wind and snow from the "Disaster Cloud" caused the sea temperature around Rainbow Spirit Seven Islands to drop significantly, leading to floating ice appearing on the surface of the East Sea. The temperature there became like that of North Iceland, and the demon beasts in the sea were highly sensitive to the cold water, causing them to feel sluggish and clumsy, with their strength reduced to only six or seven parts.

For a short while, countless East Sea Demon Monsters found themselves unable to continue attacking Rainbow Spirit Seven Islands; instead, they were in a messy state, left only with the options to avoid and take hits, unable to defend themselves, let alone counterattack.

Some timid demon beasts quickly swam away from the area of Rainbow Spirit Seven Islands, wanting nothing more than to escape this hellish place.

Seizing the moment when the "Disaster Cloud Formation" was showing off and the East Sea Demon Monsters paused their attack, Shen Gang and the other cultivators from Rainbow Spirit Island quickly replenished energy for the "Sunglow Formation," making repairs. The original ninety-nine layers of the glowing barrier had weakened to less than thirty layers due to the countless attacks. Yet, during this time, with the support and repairs from Shen Gang and others, the layers surprisingly recovered to fifty.

Finally, at this moment, Rainbow Spirit Seven Islands, which had been at a disadvantage, managed to regain some ground.

However, the East Sea Demon Monster cannot be easily defeated.

…

Under the bombardment of the "Disaster Cloud Formation," after the initial chaos and panic, the East Sea Demon Monster finally reacted.

"Roar…"

"Aooo…"

Two dragon roars suddenly sounded around the Rainbow Spirit Seven Islands, one deep and one sharp, shaking the heavens and earth. The "Disaster Cloud Formation," which had shown no change under countless water column strikes, actually produced strong waves in response to these two dragon roars, and the attacks lessened for a brief moment, as if affected by the terrifying shouts.

The roars continued, seemingly giving some kind of command to the East Sea Demon Monsters.

Then, two dragon-shaped demon beasts that had been crashing near the Rainbow Spirit Seven Islands suddenly soared out of the sea, creating huge waves, and darted towards the Disaster Cloud Formation in the sky like lightning.

One demon beast had dark blue dragon scales, was hundreds of feet long, had a head like a dragon but featured black sharp horns and golden dragon horns. With four claws, it was one of the ancient demon beasts, the Jiaolong.

Another demon beast looked similar to a dragon, but it had no claws and instead had hundreds of small bat wings. As it flapped them, it moved quickly and gracefully through the air; it was an ancient demon beast known as the Transforming Dragon.

With great power, these two ancient demon beasts howled loudly as they charged toward the sky, wanting to crush the "Disaster Cloud Formation."

However, as the two ancient demon beasts burst out of the sea, the "Disaster Cloud Formation" in the sky changed as well. The "Disaster Cloud," which originally covered dozens of miles around the Rainbow Spirit Seven Islands, suddenly gathered most of its mass, swirling around to form two larger cloud dragons, filled with endless lightning and thunder. As they moved, they brought heavy rain, snow, and fierce winds, giving off silent roars as they attacked the oncoming dragon and Transforming Dragon. A few remaining "Disaster Clouds" continued to tilt and attack the East Sea Demon Monsters around the Rainbow Spirit Seven Islands. Although their power was greatly reduced, they still caused trouble for them.

On the other side, when the four dragon-like monsters collided, a thunderous roar echoed through the air. The dragon and Transforming Dragon shook violently from the terrifying impact, their bodies scorched or frozen, all hurt by the thunder and snow of the cloud dragons. Under the immense force, they lost control and fell quickly toward the East Sea, creating towering waves. The East Sea Demon Monsters within hundreds of feet also found themselves in turmoil.

Although the dragon and Transforming Dragon were in trouble, they were not critically harmed. However, the two cloud dragons shattered upon colliding with the Hualong Snake Dragon, turning into countless wisp of clouds that scattered in all directions.

Seeing this scene, countless East Sea Demon Monsters let out excited howls. The dragon and Transforming Dragon, although slightly injured, were unharmed and quickly leaped back up, continuing their attack on the remaining small piece of the "Disaster Cloud," determined not to rest until they wiped it out completely.

But just then, a new change occurred.

The two cloud dragons, which had just been scattered, suddenly shot toward the center like arrows, and in an instant, they gathered in one place. Whirling winds began to rage, and they formed back into two cloud dragons, slightly smaller than before, and again charged toward the dragon and Transforming Dragon.

Upon seeing the two cloud dragons reborn, the dragon and Transforming Dragon were momentarily taken aback, then let out a thunderous roar simultaneously as they charged toward the cloud dragons again.

Then, the Flood Dragon and the Transforming Dragon were pushed back, and the two Cloud Dragons were scattered. When the Flood Dragon and the Transforming Dragon rose again, the two Cloud Dragons gathered once more, and this repeated again and again.

When the Flood Dragon and the Transforming Dragon finally realized they could no longer charge blindly, but instead use their own powers to fight, they found the two Cloud Dragons even more difficult to handle. Countless thunder and snow came rushing toward them without any warning. Although the attacks from the Flood Dragon and the Transforming Dragon could heavily injure the Cloud Dragons, history repeated itself, and the Cloud Dragons would scatter and then come back to life.

Overall, the two Cloud Dragons were at a disadvantage against the Flood Dragon and the Transforming Dragon. Each time they were defeated and reformed, they became smaller and weaker. However, they were still very troublesome. Even though the Flood Dragon and the Transforming Dragon were gaining the upper hand, they found it hard to move freely, unable to clear the remaining Disaster Cloud or join the other demon beasts to assault the defenses of the Rainbow Spirit Seven Islands.

The battle had reached a stalemate.

※※※※

On the other side, the situation in the Yaoguang Camp changed again.

With the arrival of the three powerful fighters—Chou, Shier Daluo, and Huangquan Baigui— the battlefield turned around in a short time.

Wrapped in endless black mist, Chou appeared like a world-devouring monster. Wherever the black mist reached, whether it was low-level demon beasts or high-level demon beasts, their bodies quickly withered, and their essence flowed away rapidly into Chou, leaving no trace behind, disappearing from the world and becoming part of Chou.

Chou rushed through the battlefield wrapped in boundless black mist, causing the East Sea Demon Monsters to flee in panic. After passing through, there were large empty areas left behind, and the East Sea Demon Monsters that were once tangled in the black mist vanished without a trace.

While others grew more and more tired from battle, Chou, with his devouring powers, was completely different; he became braver and his energy did not fade. Instead, it grew even stronger, and the dark mist around him became more terrifying. When the East Sea Demon Monster saw Chou, it seemed to see its natural enemy. At first, it tried to fight back, but then it only sought to escape. As the battle continued, Chou’s fearsome presence overwhelmed even their will to flee.

When lions and tigers catch sheep, a single roar makes the sheep within a hundred feet tremble with fear, unable even to run away. They just stand frozen, waiting to be eaten. At this moment, when the East Sea Demon Monster faced Chou, he didn’t even need to roar; as soon as they sensed his presence, they stood still, waiting to be devoured.

In truth, Chou was not just a natural enemy of the East Sea Demon Monster; considering his devouring powers, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call him the enemy of all living beings in the world.

Huangquan Baigui had now transformed; the Blood Body Demon within him held unknown powers. He looked like a terrifying skeleton, with glowing skulls at his shoulders and jointed limbs. Six skeletal arms appeared on his back, each holding a bone staff, swirling with ghostly flames around him, turning the nearby East Sea Demon Monsters into fiery wrecks.

But that was not the most powerful aspect of Huangquan Baigui; with the movement of his fingers, the dead East Sea Demon Monsters rose from the seabed, turning into countless zombies. Although their former powers were lost, their bodies were now stronger and more fierce, attacking their former companions.

With a wave of his hand, countless wraiths appeared out of thin air, gathering in one place, attacking the most vicious East Sea Demon Monsters on the battlefield. The enemies they attacked soon became confused and lost their fighting spirit, turning into prey for other members of the Yaoguang Camp.

As for Shier Daluo, once he entered the battlefield, no one saw him again. Someone was surprised to find a demon beast charging fiercely at them, but before they knew it, the beast vanished as if it had never been there. However, the battlefield had turned into a sea of blood, and the spot where the beast had been was especially saturated with crimson.

After witnessing Chou, Huangquan Baigui, and Shier Daluo displaying their powers, the members of the Yaoguang Camp gained confidence. Led by Jiuyou, Qisha, Lieqiong, and Chongshi, they relentlessly hunted the remaining East Sea Demon Monsters. Even a regular member of Yaoguang Camp, whose transformed strength equaled just a Real Golden Core Stage cultivator, boldly chased after two powerful Earth-level demon beasts, clearly illustrating the one-sided nature of the battle.

However, the Yaoguang Camp was simply too excited to fight. Whether it was Chou or the six great generals of the Yaoguang Camp, although their individual strengths were impeccable, they lacked any leadership skills. They did not realize that their original plan to first eliminate the weakest demon beasts, then slowly advance from weak to strong while quietly defeating their opponents, had already failed as soon as they transformed and unleashed their terrifying auras.

Unbeknownst to them, they had already broken through the outermost circle of demon beasts and ventured deep into the center, only thirty or forty miles away from Rainbow Spirit Island. If they went any further, they would be in the battle zone where the top East Sea Demon Monsters fought against the "Disaster Cloud Formation" and "Sunglow Formation." Meanwhile, the demon beasts surrounding them had somehow upgraded from Human Level to low Earth Level and were now a coalition made up entirely of powerful mid to high Earth Level demon beasts.

Although a sea of blood surrounded them with many bodies floating, most of the demon beasts below low Earth Level had suffered heavy casualties, and the survivors scurried away from the battlefield. From that moment on, they would not dare to come within three hundred miles of Rainbow Spirit Seven Islands, successfully achieving their goal of reducing the number and strength of the demon beasts as much as possible.

However, as they grew more excited during the battle and their presence became more terrifying and fierce, and as they killed more demon beasts while unknowingly pushing deeper into the demon beast army’s encirclement, they finally caught the attention of the top East Sea demon beasts attacking the radiant barrier at the forefront.

…

The demon beast attacking the radiant barrier on the west side of Rainbow Spirit Seven Islands was one of the three Fish Dragon Beasts that came for revenge. As it charged against the barrier, the other two dragon-like creatures fought the two cloud dragons. Although a few Disaster Clouds still continued to attack, for the Fish Dragon Beast, it was like mere tickling.

At that moment, this Fish Dragon was charging with full force against the radiant barrier surrounding Rainbow Spirit Seven Islands, its killing intent filling the sky. The three Fish Dragons that Chou had previously killed were all its descendants, who had just reached the heavenly level. One day, it went out with the other two Fish Dragons to hunt for food, but suddenly sensed a terrifying energy erupting from the direction of its cave. This energy wasn’t necessarily stronger than it, but the violent and uncontrollable aura, which seemed to be born to oppose the heavens, startled it.

When it hurried back with the other two Fish Dragons, it found that its three descendants were missing. Through the mental connection among Fish Dragon Beasts, it keenly sensed that its three descendants were now dead, killed by that terrifying person radiating dreadful energy.

However, the intruder managed to kill its three descendants in such a short time, clearly not weaker than it, and the aura from that person filled it with fear. Although it could track the person to seek revenge, the Fish Dragon dared not take rash action. Instead, it gathered all the East Sea Demon Monsters within three thousand miles and contacted the powerful beings of the dragon tribe, including the Jiao Dragon, Hua Long, and Azure Dragon, to unite against Rainbow Spirit Seven Islands.

However, the Fish Dragon had not expected that the defenses of Rainbow Spirit Seven Islands were so solid. Despite the combined power of six heavenly level demon beasts and countless lower-level demon beasts, they could not break through. Throughout it all, the terrifying human who had killed its descendants never appeared.

As the attack continued, it seemed that the defenses of the Rainbow Spirit Seven Islands would soon be broken. Suddenly, the "Disaster Cloud Formation" appeared, dealing great damage to the East Sea Demon Monster and slowing down its attacks. The Fish Dragon Beast believed that before the sky fully brightened, the Rainbow Spirit Seven Islands would be crushed by its demon beast army. However, with the delay caused by the "Disaster Cloud Formation," the departure of the dragon and flood dragon, and the other demon beasts being unable to attack, the brilliant barrier in front of them actually stabilized. It was unclear how much longer they would have to wait to break through completely.

Moreover, the support from the demon beasts behind was still not arriving. It is known that the initial fierce attack by the East Sea Demon Monster on the Rainbow Spirit Seven Islands was not only due to the powerful charge and attacks of the top demon beasts at the front but also because of the endless waves created by the combined forces of the mid and low-level demon beasts attacking the Rainbow Spirit Seven Islands. While earth-level and human-level demon beasts were not much to worry about for the Fish Dragon Beast, how could they resist the combined attacks of thousands from the human realm?

As the attack faced difficulties, the Fish Dragon Beast grew more and more anxious and let out a roar, urging the mid and low-level demon beasts within a hundred miles behind it to support.

However, the response was sparse, limited to just thirty miles behind it, and the attacking force was nowhere near as strong as before.

The frustrated Fish Dragon Beast turned to look back, and what it saw left it stunned.

Outside the Rainbow Spirit Seven Islands, there were once countless demon beasts within a hundred miles. However, now within thirty miles of the Rainbow Spirit Seven Islands, many of the high-level demon beasts had suffered grave losses in the "Disaster Cloud Formation." To the west of the Rainbow Spirit Seven Islands, the area from thirty to a hundred miles had turned into a sea of blood. From over ten thousand demon beasts, only a little over a thousand remained, facing attacks from dozens of humans… or rather, they were being hunted by these dozens of humans. The other several thousand demon beasts had turned into countless floating corpses on the sea of blood.

Earlier, due to the excitement of the attack, the fluctuations of Spirit Qi in the air were so intense that the Fish Dragon Beast did not notice anything unusual behind it.

What surprised the Fish Dragon Beast the most was that thirty miles away, a black mist gathered in a circular area of three hundred feet, quickly moving around the battlefield. Wherever it went, countless demon beasts disappeared. Its speed was more than double that of all the other forty people combined.

The aura emanating from this black mist was exactly the same as the one that appeared when its three offspring were killed in their cave.

Originally, the Fish Dragon Beast was getting anxious because its attacks were not working. Now, seeing Chou made it even more furious. With a roar, it charged toward the overwhelming and terrifying black mist.

However, this Fish Dragon Beast was still wary of Chou. As it let out a thunderous roar, another cry could be heard from afar, for this Fish Dragon Beast had just called for its companion, and another Fish Dragon Beast was coming to assist.

Upon seeing the strange behavior of the Fish Dragon Beast, the Earth-level high demon beasts that were attacking the shimmering barrier were stunned. Turning around, they saw the battle behind them and were filled with rage. They sent out dozens of Earth-level high demon beasts to follow the Fish Dragon Beast, charging toward Huangquan Baigui and other members of the Yaoguang Camp.

As if sensing the killing intent of the Fish Dragon Beast, the black mist on the battlefield suddenly stopped moving. Despite the noise of battle surrounding them, there was a strange stillness around the black mist. Other demon beasts fled in panic as the black mist became still, creating an eerie atmosphere that intensified the terror brought by the mist.

The black mist surrounding Chou made the other demon beasts flee in terror, but the Fish Dragon Beast didn’t care at all. It charged directly toward Chou, and with the force of its massive movement, countless terrifying waves hundreds of feet high crashed toward them before the Fish Dragon Beast even arrived.

Water is soft by nature, but when it becomes wild, it is the most terrifying. Moreover, these waves carried the vast Spirit Qi from within the Fish Dragon Beast, crashing down like a mountain.

As the waves collided with the black mist surrounding Chou, a series of deep rumbling sounds echoed through the air, shaking the entire East Sea.

As the waves receded, the black mist around Chou was nearly completely shattered, leaving only a faint black mist that circled him. His black cloak and figure were now faintly visible.

In the next moment, the Fish Dragon Beast had charged right in front of Chou!

In a way that did not match its earlier display of power, the Fish Dragon Beast easily knocked Chou into the sky, where he fell far away into the sea, making a small splash.

The Fish Dragon Beast did not expect that the powerful human it respected and even feared was so weak. It had just tested its strength with a simple hit and defeated the human easily. For a moment, the dragon head on the fish’s body showed a look of surprise, like a human.

But in an instant, the Fish Dragon Beast sensed something was wrong. This human could not be so weak and vulnerable. Moreover, the human’s presence did not weaken at all from the Fish Dragon Beast’s attack; it simply became very faint, gently lingering in the air. Everywhere was this human’s aura, but the human was nowhere to be seen, as if they had vanished from the world.

The biggest difference between Chou and the demon Zhong Ling from years ago is not that Zhong Ling has the Purgatory Staff inside while Chou does not, but that Chou has intelligence while Zhong Ling does not. Xu Qingfan is destined to bring Chou back to the Shenzhou Continent in the future. In order to avoid panic within the Human Alliance, Chou’s aura, which is like a natural enemy to humans, must not be detected by them. Therefore, over the years, the effort Chou has put into practicing how to conceal his presence has been no less than improving his strength.

However, the aura around Chou was too obvious and too strong, making it extremely difficult to hide. Until now, Chou had only made a little progress and still could not completely conceal it, and could only maintain it for a short time.

However, now Chou realized that hiding his presence was not as useless as he had imagined before; at least, it was very useful for surprise attacks.

As Chou disappeared, the Fish Dragon Beast became anxious, continually rotating its body to examine its surroundings.

However, at some point, Chou slowly rose from the sea behind the Fish Dragon Beast, hovering three feet above the water of the East Sea, spinning along with the Fish Dragon Beast while staying ten paces behind it, coldly watching the back of the Fish Dragon Beast, waiting for a moment when the Fish Dragon Beast would let its guard down.

At that moment, the black cloak on Chou seemed to have torn during the Fish Dragon Beast’s charge, finally revealing Chou’s true form.

After ten years of constant absorption, devouring, and evolution, Chou’s appearance was very different from when he first became a demon. After careful study, Chou discovered that his way of evolving could be controlled by his own consciousness.

At this moment, Chou still had blue scales all over his body, but the scales were now much smaller and denser than ten years ago, and his defense was much stronger. Between the scales were countless strange eyes shining with different lights, just like the demon Zhong Ling from back then. Behind him were a pair of dark wings as strong as iron and more than ten long sword-like tails that swirled around him.

The most eye-catching feature was the many sharp horns on Chou’s head, which flowed down like long hair, twisting into countless complex shapes to form a strong armor that protected his vital points.

In short, Chou’s appearance now was far more strange and terrifying than Zhong Ling’s back then.

…

Tensed nerves eventually have their moments of relaxation; the tighter they are, the easier they are to loosen at unexpected times.

Finally, when the Fish Dragon Beast turned in circles again and still did not find Zhong Ling, there was a moment of relaxation.

This moment of relaxation may have gone unnoticed by the Fish Dragon Beast, but Chou sensed it sharply.

Chou waved his wings behind him, and a strong wind rushed forth. The countless eyes on his body sparkled with strange and dazzling light, and he dashed toward the Fish Dragon Beast like a black lightning bolt.

The powerful energy inside gathered together, and the more than ten sword-like tails behind suddenly stretched out, piercing towards the Fish Dragon Beast.

Just as it seemed the Fish Dragon Beast would be easily wounded, a sense of danger unexpectedly flashed through Chou’s mind.

"A trap?!"

Meanwhile, as Chou was lost in thought, the Fish Dragon Beast in front of him suddenly turned around like lightning, looking coldly at Chou as he pounced towards it, fully on guard, showing no signs of relaxation.

At the same time, behind Chou, the waves suddenly surged, and another Fish Dragon Beast burst out from the depths of the sea, rushing quickly towards him.

This was the Fish Dragon Beast that had been summoned before the battle began.

In the past ten years, Chou had killed countless foes and had rich battle experience; however, he had always relied on his powerful strength and nearly invincible devouring abilities in every battle. While he had never lost, he had never experienced the cunning tactics of life-and-death moments and had subconsciously ignored that the Fish Dragon Beasts were just as intelligent as humans.

Just like that, Chou, a proud human, was outsmarted by two demon beasts.

With attacks from both sides, each Fish Dragon Beast was equal in strength to Chou. Just when it seemed Chou would perish between their attacks, he suddenly let out a roar towards the sky, with a fierce and determined look in his eyes.

…

When Chou was on the edge of life and death, his followers in Yaoguang Camp were also in great trouble.

To be fair, although Yaoguang Camp was strong, apart from the six great experts like Huangquan Baigui, the other ordinary members of Yaoguang Camp could barely match the strength of middle-class earth-level demon beasts, even after transforming.

In the previous battlefield, Yaoguang Camp, with just over forty people, hunted nearly a thousand East Sea Demon Monsters. These East Sea Demon Monsters were at least of initial earth level, with most being middle-class earth level, and nearly one-tenth reaching the advanced earth level. Excluding Chou, their strength was far superior to Yaoguang Camp.

The reason why Yaoguang Camp had the upper hand was not only because these demon beasts had lost their minds but also because Chou’s terrifying power made them too afraid to fight back; they could only run away, disrupting their own formation, while Chou kept most of the demon beasts occupied by himself.

However, at this moment, their greatest support, Chou, was being held back by the Fish Dragon Beast and was in crisis himself, leaving no time to help them.

Seeing that Chou was no longer present, the demon beasts, who had only known to flee, bravely gathered their courage and began to fight back against Yaoguang Camp. Meanwhile, dozens of advanced earth-level demon beasts joined the battle alongside the Fish Dragon Beast.

In an instant, the situation turned again. Even Huangquan Baigui was in a flurry, almost getting hurt several times, let alone the other members of Yaoguang Camp.

With a reluctant howl, another Yaoguang Camp cultivator died.

Ten cultivators from Yaoguang Camp have died…

Twenty cultivators from Yaoguang Camp have died…

It seemed that Yaoguang Camp was about to disappear from the world.

However, the cultivators from Yaoguang Camp were not afraid at all; they still showed fierce expressions and charged towards the demon beast in front of them.

They were ruthless to their enemies and even harsher on themselves, not caring about their own names.

After merging with the Blood Body Demon, the Chou had told them that if they wanted to take revenge, they must prove their strength. They had to face numerous dangers and challenges beforehand, and if they died along the way, they could blame no one but themselves for being too weak.

Therefore, they were not afraid of their imminent death; they only felt regret that they could not take revenge themselves…

…

Meanwhile, tens of miles away from the battlefield of Yaoguang Camp and the East Sea Demon Monster.

Thirty-five members of Tianji Camp, not one dead, were quietly floating in the air, watching the distant bloody battle.

At this moment, not only in the east, but also in the south and north, the demon beasts attacking the Rainbow Spirit Seven Islands had already been assassinated by them.

However, they only killed demon beasts with a strength below Earth level, so they had not been discovered until now.

All the demon beasts attacking the Rainbow Spirit Seven Islands, below Earth level, had been completely wiped out by them.

Only in the west… was the battlefield of Yaoguang Camp, which they had not interfered with, and they were only passing by.

"Should we help them?"

A cultivator from Tianji Camp asked.
