Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At the Southern Border, Heavenly Eagle Mountain...
“Damn humans! They dare to kill my son so brutally, detestable humans!”
A sharp roar resounded tens of thousands of kilometers as a humongous golden-colored Divine Eagle soared in the air.
Its wingspan was as long as tens of thousands of meters, while its whole body was like made of gold as it shone radiantly under the sunlight, covering the whole sky.
That was an extremely fearsome and ferocious bird—its whole body was burning with a reddish-gold divine flame, and the void around its sharp claws was being destroyed, unable to endure its valiant aura.
This was the Heavenly Eagle race’s Third Elder and one of the Heavenly Eagle Mountain’s absolute rulers. He was a mighty peerless figure even in the whole Southern Border.
One had to know that the elders in the Demon race were different from the elders in the humans’ sacred grounds, as they could retain their elder position infinitely. As long as they were alive, as well as no one in the same race was more powerful than them, they would always be the race’s rulers.
Such a system was different from the human sacred grounds where they would change their elders every 1,000 years, but this also caused a stronger competition within the Demon race.
Since this Divine Eagle could reach the high position of Third Elder in the Heavenly Eagle race, then his strength would definitely be within the top five.
Besides the Heavenly Eagle race’s king, the First Elder, and Second Elder, he was the most powerful individual in the whole race.
In the past, he had even torn apart a Grand Elder of a certain sacred ground in Eastern Wilderness and chowed down on the Grand Elder. It could be said that he was lawless and would definitely not endure anything that made him upset.
The moment he heard that Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus had killed his son, as well he even grilled and ate him in front of everyone, the Third Elder flew into a rage.
Then, it spread its huge wings and wanted to fly to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground of the Eastern Wilderness. He would use various Divine Firmament’s Elders’ blood and flesh to hold a memorial ceremony for his deceased son.
Boom!
As he flapped his huge golden wings, which were tens of thousands of meters long, an extremely frightening strong wind was generated, and deep chasms were plowed on the ground wherever the wind went.
The Third Elder possessed the Heavenly Eagle race’s astonishing speed and could travel tens of thousands of kilometers with just a flap of his wings. It was as if a golden sun shot through the sky.
In a short moment, he had already flown past Endless Terrain, almost reaching Eastern Wilderness.
However, just at that moment, a fiery red flame barrier suddenly appeared, blocking his path.
The Third Elder’s eyes were filled with grief and indignation. “Holy Queen! I wish to take revenge for my son. Please don’t stop me!”
Within the void, the fiery red flames gathered to form an incredibly large phoenix with soaring flames. Its whole body was entangled with a dense heavenly aura as if a divine phoenix had descended upon the world.
“Presumptuous!”
A female voice mixed with heavenly aura echoed from within the flames. The voice was graceful, noble, indifferent, and full of majestic aura, making people have the thought of wanting to fall down on their knees and worship her.
That phoenix filled with soaring flames was the Demons’ ruler, the strongest one that had control over the whole Nirvana Forest—Immortal Phoenix Queen.
She was born in the Primordial Age and had risen up in the Heavenly Holy Battle tens of thousands of years ago. After surviving hundreds of battles, she had attained nirvana and entered the Saint realm.
During that holy battle, countless forces had been greatly undermined, but the Immortal Phoenix race had become stronger under her lead.
Until now, tens of thousands of years had passed since the holy battle, and the Nirvana Forest had developed to become the strongest force in the whole Southern Border’s Demon race.
Meanwhile, the Immortal Phoenix Queen had also become the uncrowned ruler of the whole Southern Border Demon race. She led the Immortal Phoenix race and controlled over half of the Southern Border.
Not to mention the Heavenly Eagle race’s Third Elder, even if it was the Heavenly Eagle race’s leader, a Divine Eagle that had undergone seven tribulations, would not dare to be impetuous in front of the Phoenix Queen.
Her voice was cold. “I have said to recuperate and build up strength within these 10,000 years, and those in the Saint realm of the Southern Border cannot leave this land. Are you questioning me?”
Immortal Phoenix Queen’s voice was emotionless, but it sent shivers down the spine of the originally enraged Third Elder.
He hurriedly replied. “I definitely do not mean to disobey Holy Queen’s orders, but I’m resolved to take revenge for my son.”
Immortal Phoenix Queen said calmly, “Your son bullied the weak by making a move against the Divine Firmament’s Saintess. Then he was killed by that Azure Lotus brat of the same stage. What is there to be upset about?
“Now, you head to the Eastern Wilderness alone to seek revenge. Do you think that you’re able to destroy the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground with just your weak strength?
“Don’t forget that it’s not like there are no paragons in the human race. The Demon race has been recuperating for 10,000 years, so we will not start a war because of you.”
The Third Elder’s pupils were flashing with deep hatred. “But Holy Queen, I’m not resigned to this result! I must take revenge for my son. Forgive me, Holy Queen. I’ll plead for my punishment in the Nirvana Forest after I return from taking my revenge.”
After finishing, the huge golden eagle instantly shot toward Eastern Wilderness. He was so fast that only a radiant golden flash of light could be seen.
The Third Elder of the Heavenly Eagle race was actually prepared to directly disobey Immortal Phoenix Queen’s orders and wanted to forcibly barge into Eastern Wilderness.
In the Endless Terrain of the Southern Border, those hidden in the dark paid their attention to the Third Elder, their eyes filled with excitement.
After thousands of years of resting and recuperation, the Southern Border Demon race’s overall strength had already increased by multi-folds as compared to when the Heavenly Holy Battle had just ended.
Naturally, the long stable life made many top-notch powerful beings of the Demon race unable to hold back the desire to kill. They had thought of disobeying the Immortal Phoenix Queen’s orders and let those of the other boundaries to experience the Demon race’s strength!
Thus, the Third Elder’s actions of leaving the Southern Border had been supported by various powerful demons.
If necessary, they would lend a helping hand!
Otherwise, how could the Third Elder, an early-stage Tribulation Transcendence demon, dare to go against the Immortal Phoenix Queen?
At that moment, the speed at which the Third Elder had unleashed the Heavenly Eagle Mystic Arts had increased explosively—he was nearing Eastern Wilderness.
As long as he successfully left the Southern Border and entered Eastern Wilderness, there would be a great impact on the Immortal Phoenix Queen’s authority. By then, those hidden mighty figures, who were from different Demon races that advocated war, would swarm out to force the phoenix race to break their oath.
The Demon race respected the strong, so revealing one’s weakness was equal to inviting strong enemies to swarm them and attack.
Seeing the Third Elder of the Heavenly Eagle race flying 50,000 kilometers away, a phoenix light with roaring flames suddenly shone brightly.
“Looks like all of you are already ignoring my authority since I have yet to make a move in these thousands of years. Fools!”
A cold voice resounded, and then the roaring-flamed phoenix suddenly turned into a red flaming net.
The instant that huge flame net appeared, even the void started trembling, and space cracks were formed.
The Third Elder was already about to leave the peripheral of the Southern Border. It looked like he was about to pass through the border and enter Eastern Wilderness in the next second.
However, a fiery red divine net with roaring flames suddenly appeared before the huge golden eagle, completely covering it in the next instant.
“Holy Queen, I am not convinced! The humans oppress us, but why can’t we take revenge?”
The huge golden eagle kept on struggling; its sharp claws tried their best to slice through the huge net, but there was no effect at all.
The Immortal Phoenix Queen’s cold voice sounded. “Those in the Saint realm cannot make a move. This is the treaty of alliance between the humans and demons. How could it be broken by you and cause war?
“If you want to take revenge, anyone under the Saint realm in the Heavenly Eagle race can make a move, to fight the humans of the same stage in Divine Firmament. Let nature take its course. Whether they live or die is for them to decide.
“If there are powerful humans that bully the weak and oppress us, then I will come forward and fight no matter what.
“However, you have broken the rules of our Demon race! As your punishment, I will seal your cultivation for 1,000 years, and you will face the wall to ponder your misdeed!”
Just as she finished, that huge divine net with roaring flames gradually turned into a birdcage, which shrunk rapidly.
Meanwhile, that Great Golden-Winged Eagle, which was originally as huge as tens of thousands of meters, actually turned as small as a canary.
The fiery red birdcage pierced through the air and shot toward the deepest parts of the Southern Border’s Nirvana Forest.
In that instant, the entire Southern Border went silent, and none dared to stop her.
With just a part of her soul, she had instantly dominated and sealed the Divine Eagle as if catching a chick. Even after thousands of years, the Phoenix Queen’s means were getting more and more compelling.
She was still the Southern Border’s ruler!
