Chapter 104: Chapter 94 Martial God Falls (1st Update)

"Roar—"

A two-winged, silver-scaled Demon Tiger roared in fury. Standing three rods tall and nine rods long, it was a terrifying Innate Demonic Beast. It moved across the battlefield like a bolt of lightning and had just slaughtered a small squad of thirty or forty soldiers. It was truly a nightmare on the battlefield.

In this part of the area, many of the soldiers fell back in fear. Facing such a terrifying Innate Demonic Beast, even the Innate Strong People would not necessarily be a match.

At that moment, a figure appeared silently. It was a handsome, black-clad young man with a fearless expression on his face, confidently approaching the two-winged Demon Tiger.

Many soldiers hurriedly shouted, urging the young man to run and not to approach, not wanting to see such a young boy killed by the demon tiger.

The Demon Tiger saw the approaching young man, bared its fangs, roared, and pounced.

But the black-clad young man did not dodge or retreat. Instead, he moved closer to the two-winged Demon Tiger, causing many soldiers to tremble with fear and break into a cold sweat. Some even started to think about entering the fray to save the young man.

However, at that moment, the young man moved as swiftly as lightning, and with his white long spear, he swept across with a loud boom. To everyone’s astonishment, the two-winged Demon Tiger was sent flying and crashed to the ground.

Swoosh—

The young man, like a shadow, grabbed the tail of the Demon Tiger and swung it around. The tiger’s massive body, weighing thousands of pounds, seemed like a trivial kitten in the young man’s hands. He spun it around, sending a large group of other approaching Innate Demonic Beasts flying.

’Is this guy even human?’

Even amidst the most fierce battlefield, many soldiers were slack-jawed and stunned by the young man’s actions, utterly shocked.

The two-winged Demon Tiger roared and struggled, but the young man forcefully slammed it to the ground, shaking the entire area. The tiger was left dizzy and disoriented, unable to recover for a while.

Finally, the young man thrust his long spear forward and exploded the tiger’s head, effectively killing it.

"Number four..."

Ye Chen murmured softly. This two-winged Demon Tiger was the fourth Innate Demonic Beast he had slain. He had a bet with the Crown Prince to see who could kill more Innate Demonic Beasts on the battlefield, with the loser handing over their Innate Demon Pill to the victor.

Because this was the most terrifying Demon Beast turmoil in history, Demonic Beasts from Demon Beast Mountain Range, which were rarely seen on normal days, had become common on the battlefield. In just one hour, this was already the fourth Innate Demonic Beast that Ye Chen had killed.

Silently, Ye Chen collected the Innate Demon Pill and even the two-winged tiger’s corpse into the space of his Ancient Ring. For him, the demon bodies of Innate Demonic Beasts could be refined into Blood Pills, which were of great use.

Finally, his gaze shifted towards another part of the battlefield where another striking young figure stood—it was the Crown Prince.

At that moment, the Crown Prince, Xia Yang, held a Divine Spear in his hand. His entire body radiated shimmering light, his black hair wildly fluttering. His powerful True Essence Power burned vigorously, making him resemble a fiery god.

Beneath him lay numerous Demon Beast corpses, with a gigantic Fierce Mountain Bear, two rods tall and belonging to the Innate Realm, lying dead at his feet.

At this moment, sensing Ye Chen’s gaze, the Crown Prince looked back from across the battlefield, and a fierce spark erupted between them in the void.

Even on the battlefield, these two young Heavenly Prides remained incredibly conspicuous, attracting the attention and amazement of onlookers such as the Thirteenth Prince, a woman in red, Hua Shaoyang, and others.

True to those worthy of the Divine status from the monument of strength, emitting Seven-colored Light Radiance, their power was indeed extraordinary.

On this battlefield where the Martial God did not appear, they were simply invincible.

From afar, Vivian watched the upright figure of the black-clad young man, her mind drifting off so much that she didn’t even notice a primate beast charging towards her—Sister Hongs Rong had to split the creature in two with her sword to snap Vivian back to reality. Sheepishly, she said, "Thank you, Sister Hongs Rong."

Hongs Rong sighed softly and asked, "Vivian, you’ve fallen for Ye Chen?"

Vivian blushed and nodded in admittance, prompting Hongs Rong to shake her head slightly. She could see that Ye Chen was perhaps difficult to reach, but she chose not to say more and let things take their course.

Although the battlefield was vast, spanning tens to hundreds of miles with countless thousands of demonic beasts, endlessly charging out from the Demon Beast Mountain Range, it was impossible for even the two of them to slay all. Yet, their presence and the slaying of many Innate Demonic Beasts not only greatly boosted morale but also significantly relieved the pressure on the Xiafeng Country’s side.

After all, it was these Innate Demonic Beasts that were truly fearsome on the battlefield, bringing disaster and nightmares, beyond the capability of ordinary soldiers or even Innate Strong People to withstand.

The slaughter of these Innate Demonic Beasts had empowered Xiafeng Country’s army with greater strength to resist the turmoil.

The battlefield was horrific, countless were dead and injured, human bodies and Demon Beast corpses piled up like mountains, blood flowing into rivers, the stench of blood wafted with the wind, nauseating to all who smelled it.

Everyone who saw it felt their scalp tingle, and they fought until they were completely exhausted, but Ye Chen and the Crown Prince kept fighting closer to the Demon Beast Mountain Range until eventually, they reached the exit of the mountains. The two of them, with unstoppable momentum, blocked the exit, specifically hunting Innate Demonic Beasts, making all the soldiers behind them cringe, truly fierce warriors.

In the end, it was only because Elder Duanmu noticed them and worried they would get into trouble, he told them to come back, or else one would really suspect they would have charged into the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

Roar—

At that moment, a roar resonated from the Demon Beast Mountain Range, shaking the heavens and earth, scattering the clouds, turning everyone pale with fear.

Could it be that a Super Demon Beast was about to appear and join the battle on the ground?

As people speculated in horror, at the same time, a long howling sound echoed from within Demon Suppression City.

That sound clearly signified a recall of the troops!

Recall the troops!?

Everyone was stunned; the battle was at its peak of ferocity, and at this moment, both Demon Beasts and humans simultaneously began to retreat, an outcome that left everyone dumbfounded.

Could it be that the most terrible demon disturbance in history was ending just like this?

No one knew, but they saw countless Demon Beasts retreating back into the Demon Beast Mountain Range, leaving behind a ground full of Demon Beast and human soldier skeletons, strewn across the cold ground, showing the severity of the battle.

The sudden announcement of the end of the fighting allowed many soldiers to breath a sigh of relief; they hadn’t even retreated before collapsing on the ground from exhaustion, enduring almost a full day of fighting, weapon blades all dulled and notched, and even the Innate Strong People were exhausted, let alone others.

Had it not been for the continuous front line support from the massive armies recruited from various places, just the three hundred thousand heavy-armored troops alone could not have lasted a whole day.

Everyone retreated to the temporary warfare camps constructed in front of Demon Suppression City, with armies from various places stationed, looking towards the Demon Beast Mountain Range, ready for any sudden battle situations.

Injured men were urgently treated by medics and doctors, too busy to rest, the military camp lit up all night.

After a rough count of the casualties, a pale-frightening result was obtained—eighteen thousand dead and over seventy thousand wounded.

The number of injured was less than the dead because most of them died after getting wounded. The war was too brutal, and they hadn’t even had the chance to retreat to the rear before being killed.

This was an extremely brutal outcome; in just one day, eighty percent of the three hundred thousand heavy-armored troops suffered casualties. It was worthy to be called the most terrible demon disturbance in the history of Xiafeng Country.

In fact, had it not been for the Super Demon Beast in the Demon Beast Mountain Range being held back, and had there not been a group of elite disciples from Xiafeng Academy and Heavenly Level Academy on the battlefield, and the intervention of Ye Chen and the Crown Prince cutting down Innate Demonic Beasts, the casualties would have been much greater.

That night, no one could sleep.

On the city wall, Ye Chen and the Crown Prince stood apart, each on one side.

In this bout, neither side lost. It ended in a draw with each side having killed eleven Innate Demonic Beasts, a battle achievement that left everyone in awe.

As dawn was about to break, the sky full of stars dimmed down, marking the darkest day, at this moment, Ye Chen’s eyes suddenly turned towards the Demon Beast Mountain Range, where a battle of the Martial God was underway.

That instant, a shocking radiance burst forth, illuminating the sky and piercing through the darkness, with divine energy fluctuations radiating, trembling the mountains and valleys, disturbing all who were asleep.

"The Heavenly God has taken action!?"

At this moment, everyone guessed in horror, as the strength of the wave was even stronger than that of a Heavenly Divine Realm existence, could it be that even a Heavenly Divine Realm being was going to join the battle?

Whoosh—

Ye Chen rushed out, the first to charge into the Demon Beast Mountain Range, sensing an opportunity had arrived.

Soon after, a piece of news came out, as it spread, turning every listener’s face pale and filled with immense horror—

The Martial God, had fallen!
