Legend of the Great Sage

n began to consider retreating, basically giving up on devouring the demonic seed.

The giant snake swallowed all of the demon qi as it fell to the ground.
It fell into the colossal army at first before producing a great rumble and landing on the ground heavily, crushing countless demonfolk to pulp.

However, even more demonfolk surged over, swallowing the snake as a black mass.
From high above, they seemed like a swarm of ants trying to split up a dead snake.

Rumble.
The snake wriggled its body, grinding against the ground with each motion.

Crack, crack! Bones shattered.
Spurt, spurt! Blood and flesh sprayed everywhere.

The sounds were all mixed together, enough for people to shiver and grow numb.
In the blink of an eye, it had turned the land into a swamp of flesh and blood.
It was filled with remains and severed limbs.
The reeking of blood directly filled the air.

However, the maddening atmosphere did not end.
Instead, it escalated even further.
Demonfolk continued to throw themselves at the giant snake.

Most of those that were crushed to a pulp were regular demonfolk.
The Demon Generals and Demon Commanders were like soldier ants that possessed wings, moving through the air with great agility.
They simply allowed the other demonfolk to wear down the giant snake.

Gradually, the giant snake stopped wriggling as if it had used up all of its strength during the struggle, laying on the ground like it was dead and allowing the ant swarm to cover it.

Its golden scales were extremely tough, but it could not stop the teeth and claws of so many demonfolk.
It was torn off and stripped away bit by bit.

The demonfolk feasted on the sweet flesh and blood of a true dragon with great gulps.
The mysterious power contained within the demonic seed left them a hundred times more energetic than before, becoming even more fervent.

“That’s it?”

The Demon Emperor was stunned.
If that was all it was capable of, that was basically even worse than a regular wild beast.
It was a waste of such a terrifying amount of power.

He had a feeling that the giant snake was not struggling against the demonfolk, instead contending against an invisible enemy.
Just what had happened in the nine provinces?

He could not help but glance at the demon caverns in the sky; his eyes suddenly narrowed.
All he saw was a strange, twisted sword hovering directly below the black demon caverns.
He exclaimed uncontrollably, “The Deviance sword!”

Originally, he was just about to go and take the demonic seed for himself when he saw how the giant snake had stopped struggling, but now, he could not be bothered with that anymore.
He immediately formed a seal.
With a swoosh, the sword on his back exited its sheath.
He rushed over on it soon afterwards, leaving behind a streak of violet light as he shot towards the sword.

He saw the ground from the corner of his eye, only to see the Demon Kings throwing themselves at the giant snake from every direction, killing all demonfolk that dared to block their paths and carving up the snake’s body.
In order to eat faster, they even directly demonified.

He sneered inside, I’ll let you eat a little for now.
If you dare to devour the demonic seed, you’ll be asking to die!

To him, the Deviance sword was even more important than the demonic seed.
It was the main reason why he gave up on cultivation and personally led the invasion against the nine provinces.
As he rapidly grew closer, he clutched another sword on his waist cautiously.
He still had to be wary of the sword spirit within Deviance.

However, even when he grabbed the hilt, the Deviance sword still did not respond.

He could not help but laugh aloud.
“It really all comes down to luck after all, not effort! Once I obtain the demonic seed, what I’ve gained will definitely be no less than taking down the nine provinces!”

At this moment, miserable howls rang out from below.
He discovered in shock that the howls actually came from the Demon Kings under his command.

All of these Demon Kings were extremely brutal beings.
Who knew how many slaughters they had been through before reaching where they were standing right now.
They had almost grown numb to pain.
If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would basically be unable to believe that pain could make them produce a sound like that.
It was basically as if they had… fallen into the Hell realm.

The giant snake continued to lay on the swamp of flesh and blood without budging at all.
