Chapter 765 - Holy Demon Land

"They're probably newly ascended Arch Demons," Lord Ishtalir stated after she thought for a bit.

"Newly ascended Arch Demons… Given the time since the secret realm opened, many demons have ascended to the Greater Demon level… So it does make sense if some Peak-rank Greater Demons also ascended to Arch Demon level."

Lord Geramut muttered to himself.

"Nevertheless, since the clan leaders and elders didn't come, it shows that the spatial storm wasn't enough to catch their attention; they still think the Demon Emperor-level Tomb is still in the Bone Sea," Lord Ishtalir stated.

The demons watch the two Arch Demons bicker when the third Arch Demon, a two-headed cyclops, suddenly snaps at them.

"Enough! We don't have the time for this! Resolve your differences another time! We have something more important to do here!"

"Hmph!"

Lord Kaligan and Lord Teshafir snorted at each other before fixing their gazes on the spatial storm above the central forest.

"This spatial storm is extraordinary. Even if it isn't hiding the Eternal Night Demon Emperor's tomb behind it, there must be a peerless treasure hiding within!" Lord Teshafir blindly guesses.

"Well, we can only hope so," the Two-Headed Cyclops Arch Demon, Lord Grunganir, spoke.

"The demon leaders and the rest of the elites didn't show the slightest interest in the news. Only we were stupid enough to be attracted to some unfounded rumor. Thus, there has to be something; I don't intend to go back empty-handed."

"Nevertheless, there are humans in our way. If we want to investigate the spatial storm without interference and obstruction, we must remove the humans first," Lord Kaligan said while spying with his third eye.

"Then what are we still waiting for? Let us go and remove the flies!" Lord Grunganir said impatiently.

Not long after the demon army advanced into the Abyssal Wood Forest, Lord Kaligan casually notices one of his clansmen.

"How did you sustain such an injury?" the Evil Eye Arch Demon casually inquired.

"It was done by one of the humans while I was scouting. The human revealed very powerful strength and eyesight when the human sniped me from a distance; you should be careful, Lord Arch Demon."

Lebrantz replied while gritting his teeth with a venomous look.

"Is that so?" Lord Kaligan did not take Lebrantz's warning to heart and smiled with interest instead before saying, "Since this human is pretty strong, he should be a good opponent for me. I have yet to test my strength after becoming an Arch Demon!"

As the three Arch Demons casually led the demon army towards the forest center like they were going for a regular stroll, they eventually reached the humans' location.

Whether it was demons or humans, they all had inflated confidence and complacency after reaching a higher level of strength.

"They're here!"

A High-rank Battle Master from the Sky Sword Sect immediately exclaimed at the first notice of the approaching demon army.

Many warriors among the four tribes immediately showed tensed and nervous expressions as they stood in a defensive line that they arranged beforehand.

Leon stood forefront, ahead of everyone else, as he intended to take on the brunt of the demon armys' attacks while the others guard against sneaky demons that might try to get past him.

Nevertheless, as the humans faced the demons, the demons also stopped and studied the humans.

"There's only this many humans protecting this place? How disappointing. How can I have any fun when they are so few in numbers? Well, whatever. Let's just get this over and done with."

Lord Grunganir commented before raising his hand, preparing to issue the attack order.

"Kill them all—!"

"GET LOST OR DIE!"

Just as the Arch Demon's order was given, Leon's amplified voice swept across the demon army and eclipsed the Arch Demon's own voice.

Leon's mighty [Lion's Roar] rang loud and clear, shaking both heaven and earth, even paralyzing many Lesser Demons in the demon army's ranks as they stood frozen in their tracks from the intimidation.

The power of darkness in [Lion's Roar] rippled across the forest and shook even their souls, suppressing their body and mind and crippling their morale.

Even some Low-rank Greater Demon was shaken by the powerful voice that overshadowed their Lord Arch Demon's order.

Lord Grunganir glanced back at the demons' expressions before his eyes burned with fighting spirit.

"Interesting… This human is worthy of being my opponent! Don't interfere; he's mine—!"

"Hold it!"

Lord Kaligan suddenly stopped the Two-Headed Cyclops Arch Demon with a raised hand while facing Leon with a solemn yet respectful gaze as if he was seeing someone important.

That sliver of dark power just now stirred his power of darkness and slightly suppressed his bloodline! That was something only demons of noble birth could have achieved!

This person before them was no human; he was a demon!

A noble demon!

"Lord Kaligan, I said this human is my opponent! You dare to stop me?" Lord Grunganir grumbled, flashing the Evil Eye Arch Demon a displeased look.

However, Lord Kaligan quickly retorts, "You idiot! Look at the state of our demon army! And did you not sense anything from his power?! Although it was very weak against us, this person's power can indeed suppress other demons' powers and bloodlines! He's a noble demon!"

"Impossible. Why would there be a noble demon all the out here? Those noble demons, who inherited the bloodline of the Great Devils, never step foot outside of the Holy Demon Land!"

Lord Grunganir denied the possibility.

"You can deny it all you want, but his ability to suppress demons with his power of darkness is undeniable proof that he is a descendent of the Great Devils!"

'Holy Demon Land? Where is this place? Is it further south of the demon territory?' Leon mused after learning some critical information from the Arch Demons' argument.

'I didn't think that the Devil Emperor's Tome of Eternal Darkness would make other demons mistake me for these so-called noble demons… But seeing their reactions, it seems this Holy Demon Land is very powerful…'

'And for Arch Demons to be wary of such a place—or rather, the noble demons that inhabit such a place, I wonder how strong they actually are… Higher-rank Arch Demons? Or possibly higher? Don't tell there are actually living Demon Lords in this world?'

Leon could not help but feel concerned at the thought.

'Well, whether it is true or not, there's no doubt that there are living descendants of the Great Devils—at least according to what these Arch Demons are saying, but it's still unconfirmed whether they are true descendants or inherited descendants.'

'If it was the latter, then that means the Great Devils had also left their inheritances in this world…'

"Your excellency, if you want to monopolize the secret behind the spatial storm, we won't fight with you over it. However, why are you siding with the humans?"

Lord Kaligan suddenly asked Leon as he was deep in thought.

However, before Leon could answer, the Lord Teshafir laughed wickedly, "Kekeke, why does the reason as to why he is siding with the humans even matter? Since he sided with the humans, he is a traitor to the demon race!"

"The Holy Demon Land wouldn't blame us for killing a traitor! And if we can extract his devil blood for ourselves, then, perhaps, we will even earn the qualification to enter the Holy Demon Land!"

The Three-Headed Serpent stared at Leon's body without hiding the greed in its eyes.

At the same time, Lord Kaligan and Lord Grunganir were startled for a moment before they similarly looked at Leon greedily.

The spatial storm became the least of their concerns.

For a short moment, Leon had the sudden thought that he could reason with the demons, but, unfortunately…

"It seems a battle is inevitable."

Leon took out his Tier-5 Bone Spear and solemnly faced the three Arch Demons with his concentration raised to the max.

The strength of Arch Demons was not much different from Paragons; the weakest would possess at least 10-million jin strength!

This level of strength was far greater than what Leon could muster with everything he had, but the big difference did not deter him.

"Come! Let's fight!" Leon raised his spear at the Arch Demons and fearlessly provoked them into initiating their attacks.

"Kek, I don't know where you get your confidence, but just because I want you as my opponent, it doesn't actually mean you're my opponent. You're too weak! You wouldn't even be able to hurt my Arch Demon Body unless you use your Tier-5 weapon!"

Lord Grunganir snickered.

"Oh?"

Leon suddenly paused before looking at the Two-Headed Cyclops Arch Demon with interest.

"Since you are so proud and confident in your Arch Demon Body, why don't we put it to the test? How about it? Or are you too scared to because you were speaking empty words?"

Leon attempted to entrap the Arch Demon with his words by putting his spear away and accepting the challenge.

Without surprises, the Two-Headed Cyclops immediately took the bait as it snorted, "Hmph! Cheeky traitor. I know you are trying to goad me, but I have no reason to refuse because your tricks mean nothing in the face of absolute strength!"

Once the traitor dares to come close to him without a weapon in hand, he will easily catch the traitor and swiftly end the challenge.

"Don't interfere!" Lord Grunanir warned the other two Arch Demons.

"Sure, but his devil blood must be equally divided after you kill him," the two Arch Demons replied with a shrug.

They don't care who kills the 'noble demon' as long as they get the devil blood.
