Chapter 204: Follow My Decree to Command the Ten Great Mountain Ranges Demon Beast Kings (Happy New Year)

As early as several decades ago.

The Azure Sky Alliance Leader faintly sensed the "weakness" of the Ancestral Demon Tree.

It was just that at the time, he couldn't be certain, nor could he confirm whether the so-called "weakness" was intentionally displayed by the Ancestral Demon Tree.

As a means to lure him into a trap.

Wielding the world sword, the Azure Sky Alliance Leader was almost invincible.

But the premise was that he could not stray too far from the Azure Sky World; beyond a certain range, the might of the world sword would be weakened.

If the Ancestral Demon Tree had such intentions, the Azure Sky Alliance Leader naturally needed to be vigilant.

Yet just now, while he was fighting to the death with the Ancestral Demon Tree within the demon world, aided by the induction of the world sword.

The Azure Sky Alliance Leader truly felt the weakness of the Ancestral Demon Tree.

Under a full-force battle coupled with the perception of the world sword, the Azure Sky Alliance Leader confirmed his judgment.

"Everyone, the opportunity for our Azure Sky World has arrived."

The Azure Sky Alliance Leader let out a soft sigh of relief, looked toward the surrounding Twelve Vice Alliance Leaders, and said solemnly.

"Opportunity?"

"What opportunity?"

"Alliance Leader, do you know something?"

The Twelve Vice Alliance Leaders were initially somewhat worried, but seeing the Alliance Leader's expression and tone, they instantly became curious.

"The Ancestral Demon Tree—"

The Azure Sky Alliance Leader immediately stated his judgment.

"For more than three hundred years, the Extraterrestrial Evil Gods used their own supreme might to forcibly open up a battlefield outside our Azure Sky World, dragging us into an endless quagmire of war."

"At every moment, Experts of our Azure Sky World are dying. With the Evil Gods eyeing us covetously, we simply have no opportunity to destroy that battlefield."

The Azure Sky Alliance Leader's tone was low, and the remaining Twelve Vice Alliance Leaders felt the same.

In over three hundred years of war, their friends, relatives, and descendants had all been thrown into the battlefield, and most of them had died at the hands of Evil God Puppets.

Furthermore, as long as that battlefield existed for a single day, the war could not be halted.

They did want to destroy the battlefield so that the Extraterrestrial Evil Gods would lose the prerequisite for initiating the battlefield, but the strength of the Ancestral Demon Tree was simply too formidable.

Even if the Azure Sky Alliance Leader joined forces with the Twelve Vice Alliance Leaders, they could only barely contend with the Ancestral Demon Tree.

However, now.

The Ancestral Demon Tree had inexplicably weakened, and the Azure Sky Alliance Leader even had the confidence to contend with it alone.

In this way, there was the possibility of destroying the battlefield and ending the war.

As for the Ancestral Demon Tree? The Azure Sky Alliance Leader did not plan to kill it; that was unrealistic, and he only intended to drive it away.

"But now."

"The opportunity has come, the opportunity to completely end the war has come."

The Azure Sky Alliance Leader said with an uplifting tone, looking at the Twelve Vice Alliance Leaders word by word.

"End the war?"

The hearts of the Twelve Vice Alliance Leaders burned with fervor.

They dreamed of ending the war, but for three hundred years, they could never see any hope.

Today, listening to the Alliance Leader's words, everyone was filled with excitement.

"Next, I will mobilize all my trump cards and foundations to launch a counterattack," the Azure Sky Alliance Leader said. "If that Evil God dares to meddle, leave it to me."

"You only need to be responsible for occupying the entire battlefield and then destroying it."

"Yes." The Twelve Vice Alliance Leaders did not hesitate.

The Evil God Battlefield was located outside the world, which should belong to the Evil God's lair and rear base.

As long as this Evil God Battlefield was destroyed, if the Ancestral Demon Tree wanted to invade the Azure Sky World, it could only rely on its own strength to assault the entire world, which was basically impossible.

And given the current strength of the Ancestral Demon Tree, under the targeted precautions of the various Experts in the Azure Sky World, it could not open up a second battlefield at all.

Theoretically speaking, as long as the Evil God Battlefield was destroyed, the Ancestral Demon Tree would no longer have the ability to descend upon the Azure Sky World.

"Pass down my decree to command the Ten Great Mountain Ranges Demon Beast Kings to head to the battlefield and prepare for a counterattack."

The Azure Sky Alliance Leader spoke.

When the Ancestral Demon Tree invaded, the Azure Sky World resisted with the power of the entire world.

But in reality, before the war started, the Azure Sky Alliance Leader and many other Experts had still made the worst preparations.

That was being unable to resist the invasion of the Ancestral Demon Tree, leading to a collapse on the frontal battlefield.

The situation of the war would spread into the world.

Precisely because of this, no matter how severe the war situation was, the Azure Sky Alliance Leader had never summoned the Demon Beast Kings of the Ten Great Mountain Ranges.

The Demon Beast Kings of the Ten Great Mountain Ranges were the final trump card of the Azure Sky World, used to prevent the war from collapsing and Evil God Puppets from slaughtering into the world.

At that time, the Demon Beast Kings of the Ten Great Mountain Ranges would go all out, replacing the defeated army of cultivators to temporarily resist the invasion of the Evil God Puppets.

This point had already been discussed and agreed upon back then when the Azure Sky Alliance Leader and the Demon Beast Kings of the Ten Great Mountain Ranges established an Alliance covenant.

At critical moments, the Demon Beast Kings of the Ten Great Mountain Ranges must obey the decree and commands of the Azure Sky Alliance Leader.

Of course.

The battlefield situation was ever-changing.

The Demon Beast Kings of the Ten Great Mountain Ranges were originally intended by the Azure Sky Alliance Leader to be kept as the final resistance force.

But now, the Azure Sky Alliance Leader wanted to gather all forces to launch a counterattack, so the relevant plans and preparations naturally had to change.

For instance, these Demon Beast Kings were a not-weak force, which could be used right as the spearhead force for the counterattack.

As long as the counterattack went smoothly and repelled the Evil Gods, everything would be worth it.

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Yes."

With passionate tones, the Twelve Vice Alliance Leaders immediately turned around and returned to convey the orders of the Azure Sky Alliance Leader.

Besides the various Demon Beast Kings, there were also many hidden forces in the Azure Sky World, and these hidden forces all required the Twelve Vice Alliance Leaders to authorize and command them one by one.

The Azure Sky Alliance Leader watched the Twelve Vice Alliance Leaders leave.

Next, in order to thoroughly mobilize all forces of the Azure Sky World, the high-level figures of the Azure Sky Alliance such as the Vice Alliance Leaders, Protectors, and Elders would shuttle back and forth within the Azure Sky World.

As for him, he needed to continue holding down the battlefield to prevent the final counter-assault of the Ancestral Demon Tree.

"Everything is about to end."

The Azure Sky Alliance Leader's gaze was profound as he thought to himself.

Outside the Black Mist Mountains.

Two streaks of light descended.

"This is the Black Mist Mountains."

"I remember that there are a total of eight Demon Beast Kings in the Black Mist Mountains, and the strongest is the Giant Elephant King, who possesses the ancient divine elephant Bloodline."

The two streaks of light transformed into two figures. The one on the left was a thin Elder named Qu Zhuang, who was an Elder of the Azure Sky Alliance.

The Azure Sky Alliance had one hundred and fifty-six Elders. Every single Elder possessed Tier 6 strength, belonging to the high-level forces of the Alliance.

The one on the right was a young man named Elder Liao An, who was also an Elder of the Azure Sky Alliance.

Unlike Elder Qu Zhuang, Elder Liao An was not old, just over three hundred years old. Basically before he was even born, the Azure Sky World had suffered the invasion of the Ancestral Demon Tree.

Therefore, Elder Liao An had never been to the Black Mist Mountains at all. The vast majority of his time was spent on the Evil God Battlefield, fighting countless violent and vicious Evil God Puppets.

"Let's go."

"Let's go in."

The thin Elder Qu Zhuang introduced a few more pieces of information about the Black Mist Mountains to Elder Liao An, and then set off into the Black Mist Mountains.

The purpose of the two coming here.

Was naturally to convey the decree of the Azure Sky Alliance Leader, commanding the eight Demon Beast Kings of the Black Mist Mountains to head to the Evil God Battlefield and prepare for the upcoming counterattack.

"The Alliance Leader possesses boundless might and talents, actually gaining the upper hand and an overwhelming advantage against the Extraterrestrial Evil Gods, and now he is even going to counterattack."

Along the way, the thin Elder Qu Zhuang kept exclaiming in emotion. When he first heard the Alliance Leader's order to summon all forces of the Azure Sky World to prepare for a counterattack, he had truly been startled.

"Indeed."

Elder Liao An nodded.

"I hope that after repelling the Evil Gods, I can have a home."

Elder Liao An couldn't help saying.

"That's simple enough."

"With your strength and status, once the Evil Gods are repelled, you will be a hero of the world. Who knows how many beautiful women will throw themselves into your arms—"

The thin Elder Qu Zhuang laughed heartily and said.

The two walked and chatted along the way.

Suddenly.

Elder Liao An stopped.

He carefully observed his surroundings.

"What's wrong?"

The thin Elder Qu Zhuang also stopped, looking at Elder Liao An with confusion as he spoke.

"It's nothing."

"I just feel, isn't it too quiet?"

Elder Liao An furrowed his brows slightly. "Although I have never been to the Black Mist Mountains and only heard that this is the territory of Yao Beasts and Vicious Beasts, logically speaking, it shouldn't be this quiet."

Being able to become an Elder of the Azure Sky Alliance at the age of over three hundred.

Aside from the fact that opportunities for merit increased due to the invasion of the Ancestral Demon Tree, Elder Liao An also possessed a certain intuition and instinct that differed from ordinary people.

He could often perceive danger before it arrived.

"It is indeed a bit quiet."

The thin Elder Qu Zhuang nodded slightly.

"But this shouldn't have much of an impact, right? Perhaps those few Demon Beast Kings deep in the mountain range drove the Yao Beasts and Vicious Beasts to leave this area?"

The thin Elder Qu Zhuang didn't think much about it.

Although the Black Mist Mountains were the territory of Yao Beasts and Vicious Beasts, under the invasion of the Extraterrestrial Evil Gods, humans and Yao Beasts had long reached a consensus.

They belonged to an Alliance.

"I hope so."

Elder Liao An thought for a moment and also felt that he was probably overthinking it.

This was the rear base of the Azure Sky World; if not absolutely safe, it was close to it. Putting his vigilant mindset from the Evil God Battlefield here was obviously somewhat inappropriate.

"Let's go."

"We should be almost there."

The thin Elder Qu Zhuang accelerated his flight speed.

Elder Liao An also followed closely behind, heading towards the depths of the Black Mist Mountains.

Rumble, rumble, rumble.

Right at this moment.

A behemoth nearly a hundred zhang tall blocked the path of the two.

This behemoth was none other than the Divine Ape King, patrolling the Black Mist Mountains under Lin Yuan's orders.

"It is one of the eight kings in the Black Mist Mountains, named the Divine Ape King."

Seeing the Divine Ape King, instead of being alarmed, the thin Elder Qu Zhuang was pleasantly surprised and turned his head to introduce it to Elder Liao An.

"The Divine Ape King?"

Elder Liao An looked it up and down and nodded slightly.

Judging solely by the Aura, the Divine Ape King surpassed ordinary practitioners who had just entered Tier 6.

With its massive physique coupled with the innate methods belonging to Yao Beasts, even Peak Tier 6 practitioners would not dare to underestimate it.

"Divine Ape King, we are following the Alliance Leader's decree to command you Demon Beast Kings to head to the Evil God Battlefield—"

After finishing his introduction for Elder Liao An, the thin Elder Qu Zhuang did not beat around the bush and directly transmitted his voice to the Divine Ape King.

"Head to the Evil God Battlefield?"

Naturally, the Divine Ape King would not agree. Now it only listened to Lin Yuan's orders; as for some Azure Sky Alliance Master, it naturally didn't take him seriously.

"Not going."

The Divine Ape King spoke in a muffled tone.

"Not going?"

The thin Elder Qu Zhuang was stunned for a moment. Seemingly thinking of something, he patted his head.

"Almost forgot."

"This is the Alliance Leader's decree. You should go now, right?"

The thin Elder took out a token engraved with the characters "Azure Sky".

The token was only the size of a palm, yet it emitted an inexplicable fluctuation and could not be counterfeited or replaced.

"The Alliance Leader's decree?"

The Divine Ape King observed it carefully for a few glances.

Although it was parasitized by the Evil Demon Seed, it retained its memories from before and knew what the Alliance Leader's decree truly meant.

That was the supreme power of the Azure Sky World; any lifeform, whether human or Yao Beast, had to obey its commands.

However, this did not include the Divine Ape King.

The Divine Ape King only recognized Lin Yuan's orders.

"Wait a moment, I'll go contact the other kings."

The Divine Ape King closed its eyes and secretly contacted Lin Yuan.

In the deepest part of the Black Mist Mountains.

Lin Yuan was still immersed in the state of "Dao Comprehension".

Ever since the Ancestral Demon Tree lifted many of its restrictions on him, various innate abilities of the Ancestral Demon Tree had awakened within Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan had hardly rested, constantly using his Heaven-Defying Comprehension to analyze them, discarding the dross and taking the essence to integrate them into his Martial Dao Evolution Path.

"I didn't expect that when the Ancestral Demon Tree lifted its restrictions, even the ability to create Evil Demon Seeds would be greatly enhanced."

Lin Yuan felt a slight emotional stirring.

The Evil Demon Seed was an ability that branch-body demon trees could naturally master.

Without needing the Ancestral Demon Tree's permission to lift restrictions, upon growing to a certain stage, one could possess it.

Originally, Lin Yuan thought that the Ancestral Demon Tree had not tampered with the method of the Evil Demon Seed.

But looking at it now, he had clearly underestimated the Ancestral Demon Tree's precautions against the branch-body demon trees.

The most obvious manifestation was that after the Ancestral Demon Tree lifted its suppression on Lin Yuan, aside from Awakening a large number of the former's various methods and abilities.

Even the Evil Demon Seeds he originally possessed had gained a massive enhancement.

The enhancement here was all-encompassing. Using his Heaven-Defying Comprehension, Lin Yuan perfected the Evil Demon Seeds, greatly enhancing their parasitic capabilities.

Those who were parasitized were basically no different from their original selves and could pass off the fake as genuine.

Likewise, the maximum number of perfected Evil Demon Seeds Lin Yuan could condense was previously one hundred.

And now, the number of perfected Evil Demon Seeds that Lin Yuan could condense had increased from one hundred to three hundred.

"Three hundred perfect Evil Demon Seeds—I suppose I don't need to be so picky anymore."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Up to now, the only ones parasitized by Lin Yuan were seven Demon Beast Kings.

As for others? Lin Yuan had no interest in those Yao Beasts below the Demon Beast Kings.

"Hmm?"

"Someone has entered the Black Mist Mountains?"

Seeming to perceive something, Lin Yuan looked afar in a certain direction.

By now, Lin Yuan's roots had spread across the entire Black Mist Mountains.

As long as it was within this range, anything that happened could not escape Lin Yuan's perception.

The moment the two Elders of the Azure Sky Alliance stepped into the Black Mist Mountains, they were detected by Lin Yuan.

"Those two have Tier 6 strength?"

Lin Yuan carefully sensed for a moment.

A moment later.

Through the Evil Demon Seed, the Divine Ape King transmitted a message back to Lin Yuan.

Stating that those who entered the Black Mist Mountains were two Elders of the Azure Sky Alliance.

"Two Tier 6 Elders of the Azure Sky Alliance."

A smile appeared in Lin Yuan's heart.

Talk about dozing off and being handed a pillow—what a coincidence!

He was just thinking about looking for new targets to parasitize, and these Elders of the Azure Sky Alliance delivered themselves right to his doorstep?

Two chapters completed.
