Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“What a good blade! It’s really a good blade.”

After the Demon Island’s Protective Formation Spell was destroyed by a single blade strike, Yang Ling looked at the Magical Beast Army and rebellious Sea Tribes that swarmed into the island before he looked at the frightened Demon Island’s defenders that retreated while they fought.

Yang felt quite high-spirited, and he flicked the Battle Blade in his hand softly. Soon after, as a swooshing sound echoed out, he charged toward the old witch’s location.

“Obstruct him! Hurry up and obstruct that Great Demon King.” The old witch was ashen-faced, and she shouted at the top of her throat. She ordered the old monsters next to her to charge at the enemy before she retreated quickly along with the last tens Sea Dragon and the numerous personal Guards. She ran toward the Demon Castle atop the mountain.

That was the Sea Demon Tribe’s lair, and it was also the Demon Island’s last defensive line.

Even though the old witch had already tasted Yang Ling’s great power, she still didn’t expect that he was so strong, and she didn’t expect that he would guide the sky’s lightning.

A lot of effort was spent to repair the Ancient Thorns Magical Formation Spell, and innumerable clansmen died for this. This was why she didn’t expect that it would disappear like so.

The old witch’s eyes were bloodshot, and she turned her head frequently to glare at Yang Ling. She wished badly to tear him into shreds, but she had to resist until the end with her clansmen and persist until the arrival of reinforcements. This was why she was forced to retreat into the Demon Caste and guard it.

Yang Ling’s last thunderous blade strike didn’t just destroy the island’s Protective Formation Spell that was the Demon Island’s pride, it also routed the old witch’s courage and confidence, and she didn’t dare any longer to fight back. The blade beams able to penetrate everything that flashed past a group of serpentine lightning left an unerasable mark on the old witch’s mind.

She understood that none on the Demon Island was a match for the Great Demon King Yang Ling other than the Sea Demon King.

“Charge at him! Everyone charge at him! Hurry up!”

“Hurry up and obstruct him!”

…

The dozen and more old monsters were left behind to guard the Demon Island, and they were commanded by the old witch. This was why they attacked jointly, and they quickly surrounded Yang Ling. They were affiliated to the Demon Island for thousands upon thousands of years, and they had done many heinous murders. Their hands were already dripping with blood, and they were on the same ship as the Sea Demon Tribe.

They wouldn’t manage to enjoy glory, splendor, and wealth without the Demon Island’s provision, and if they weren’t protected by the Demon Island, they would be forced to wander everywhere on the seas.

“Humph! You are courting death!” Yang Ling snorted coldly and raised the Battle Soul Blade again in his hand.

There were fifteen old monsters left to guard the Demon Island, and no matter if it was the big-headed dwarf shorter than half a meter or the Octopus Monster that opened its big mouth wide, they all possessed apex Saint-Level power or even apex Domain-Level Power. In the eyes of ordinary Sea Tribe’s members, they were quite powerful, and if they joined hands, they would be able to exterminate many Sea Tribes. But in the eyes of Yang Ling, they were so frail that they would collapse at the first blow.

They were like mantises blocking a chariot!

Buzz!

As the Battle Soul Blade let out a clear cry, its devastating murderous aura instantly seeped into the fifteen monsters’ souls, and all people within 50 feet of Yang Ling became muddle-headed. The mind of the fifteen old monsters that bore the brunt of the attack turned blank, and they stood there motionless like puppets.

The Battle Soul Blade was quite powerful, and its one-meter-long blade was able to cut through anything. But, this wasn’t its most terrifying trait, and the cry it would let out with every attack was more terrifying because it was able to attack enemies’ souls. It wasn’t just effective against insignificant Domain-Level Experts, and even the soul of a God-Level Expert without good Soul Defense would be shaken if it was caught off-guard by the blade and it would be strenuous for him to move.

Sizzle!

As the one-meter-long blade flickered, fifteen heads instantly fell on the ground at the same time. Those dozens and more old monsters ran amok usually, slaughtered many people’s families and plundered their wealth. Yet now, they were instantly killed before they could respond.

A single deadly strike!

The tremendous Wizard Power, powerful soul as well as the terrifying Battle Soul Blade let all experts below God-Level collapse at the first blow in front of Yang Ling.

If the old witch with Mid-Level Deity’s power wasn’t injured and she stayed behind to support the others. She could have been able to assemble the old monsters, Sea Dragons and other elites, left on the island to contend against Yang Ling reluctantly. But, it was a pity that the old witch that was the strongest was barely alive and it was difficult for him to protect herself. So, she surely wouldn’t dare to step forward and obstruct Yang Ling.

“Let’s go. Let’s go quickly. Hurry up!” When the old witch turned her head around and saw that Yang Ling carrying out a slaughter, she detected the devastating murderous aura contained in the Battle Soul Blade, and she passed down an order anxiously. The old witch’s heart sank further!

Even if she was at her peak, she still wouldn’t have any assurance to block Yang Ling’s terrifying blade strike that destroyed the island’s Protective Formation Spell, and now, she was even heavily injured, and she didn’t retain even a third of her power.

She didn’t expect that Yang Ling didn’t just survive in the Death Sea Area; his power still becoming more terrifying.

Could it be that Yang Ling was already possessed by the Death Sea’s Devilish God? The old witch was quite skeptical, and she recalled a legend circulation among the Sea Tribes.

It was said that long ago, the Death Sea was called the East Sea. It was rich with resources, peaceful and calm. It was like a paradise that attracted many sea tribes, and they had all settled there. It was said that melodious voice would echo out of the seabed at the full moon, and even cheers and laughers would echo out. The people had assumed that a spiritual god lived in the sea and that it was blessed and protected by a spiritual god.

Many Sea Tribes that suffered hardship traveled for 10,000 miles to come to that sea and pray in it. They asked for the spiritual god’s protection, and at every full moon, the people would bathe and change their clothes, and both common people and nobles alike would all prostrate themselves on the beach to listen calmly to the melodious bell sound. That day was called Peace Day by the Sea Tribes in the vicinity, and they forbade hunting, execution, imprisonment, and battles on that day.

The Sea Tribes protected by the spiritual god reproduced in the East Sea and lived here. All tribes coexisted peacefully and had a life of leisure and freedom that continued until a calamity befell them suddenly.

That day was mid-year Peace Day that was awaited for long by the people, and they all assembled excitedly. When they prostrated themselves on the ground to pray and ask for the spiritual god’s protection. Terrifying spatial crevices appeared in the sky. Innumerable malevolent-looking and bloodthirsty giant dragons and Divine Beasts fell from the sky. There were also innumerable twelve-winged angels, and they all roared as they slaughtered the devout and sincere Sea Tribes’ members crazily before they made their way to the seabed.

Battle cries echoed out, and giant waves soared up to the sky.

None knew what had happened at the seabed, and people only knew according to the legend that the sky in a thousand miles was dyed red, and from that day onward, the rich East Sea became filled with strong wind, giant waves, as well as terrifying undercurrent and whirlpools. Even a God-Level Expert wouldn’t survive if he fell into a whirlpool or undercurrent by mistake, and at a full moon, people didn’t get to hear melodious bell sound any longer. Instead, appalling ghost’s cries that would make one’s hair stand on its end would echo out in moonless nights with strong wind.

The East Sea turned gradually into a deserted sea area engulfed with death’s shadow. It was said that a terrifying Devilish God was living on the seabed and innumerable terrifying Divine Beasts, and fallen angels were with him. None dared to approach the terrifying Death Sea again, and the numerous Sea Tribes’ members announced that it was a forbidden area before they forbade their clansmen from entering it.

Several thousand years ago, the old witch just laughed at this legend upon hearing it like most people and didn’t believe this unreliable legend. But, after she ran into a great storm a thousand years ago, she found a mysterious stele inadvertently and managed to learn the powerful Spells on it. From that moment onward, she believed the legend that circulated in the four seas.

“It’s rumored that the Devilish God will bring endless disasters to people. Could it be that God really wants our Sea Demon Tribe’s extermination?” The old witch looked at the murderous Yang Ling behind her and looked at the Magical Beasts that filled the land before she looked at the rebellious Sea Tribes. She couldn’t help but suck in a breath with great difficulty.

The Demon Castle on the mountain still had a miniature Magical Formation Spell, and it was a part of the island’s Protective Formation Spell. But, it was a pity that she didn’t manage to repair it even though she racked her brains for a solution for several thousand years. That Magical Formation Spell wouldn’t withstand the enemy’s fierce attacks for long, and if the Sea Demon King didn’t come back in time, the Sea Demon Tribe would really face a disaster.

It was said that in Saint Peter Castle’s battle, Yang Ling slaughtered a million followers of the church, and when he pacified Gold Cost, he slaughtered Morocco Duchy’s several million people. The old witch didn’t believe that this bloodthirsty Demon King would let her and her clansmen off.

What should be done?

As the old witch observed the falling personal guards and clansmen and observed the Magical Beasts running amok on her home, she felt intense pain as if a knife was thrust into her heart, and she despaired.

“Kill them and charge forward!”

“Kill them and rush into the Demon Castle. Kill all Sea Demons! Charge forward!”

…

The Magical Beast Army commanded by the Corpse Wizard King slaughtered the Demon Island’s defenders, and they quickly advanced toward the Demon Castle on the mountain. The rebellious Sea Tribes’ members also shouted loudly and slaughtered to their heart’s content as they followed the Magical Beast Army.

The Sea Tribes’ offensive power was lacking in comparison to the Magical Beast Army, but they were crazier. They cut off the defenders’ throats, smashed their heads, and pulled out their intestines. They would even hack several times dead defenders, and they wished badly to hack to pieces those guys that were previously ferocious and vicious. They wished to eat their meat and drink their blood!

After Seal Commander Figo saved his imprisoned relatives, he didn’t have any other qualms, and he also surrendered. He joined the ranks of the offensive team. The few remaining soldiers on the Demon Island facing the fierce attacks of the allied armies raised their hands to surrender, and only a few people fought back tenaciously.

When the enemies realized that the situation wasn’t reassuring, it wasn’t just the people affiliated to the Demon Island that deflected, as even some Sea Demons tried to take avail of the chaos to escape. The Demon Island’s defensive army quickly collapsed!

Everyone hit a fallen man!

People rebelled, and friends deserted them!

The Demon Island quickly fell into the enemy’s hands, and only some battles between a few people still occurred. Corpses covered the ground, and blood flowed until it formed a river. As for the Demon Castle built atop the mountain, it was surrounded heavily. On the previous day, those guys were still awe-inspiring and ran amok on the ocean, yet in the twinkling of an eye, they turned into stray dogs.

The Giant Apes holding large Obsidian Rods were roaring, and the Twin-legged Flying Dragons hovering at a low altitude were making threatening gestures. As for the 2000-meter-long Nine-Headed Python, it opened its big mouth, and it made all Sea Demons shiver with fear. The Sea Demons lost their confidence and lost the gall to continue fighting.

2,000 Sea Demons observed the Magical Beast Army that filled the sky and the land, as well as the numerous crazy Sea Tribes. They could only cower and hide in the Demon Castle while waiting for the main army’s rescue expectantly.
