Peerless War God

Although the Fa Li was temporarily gone, he had reached the first stage of the Ascending Dragon Spell. With the support of the Dragon Power, the power of this punch was no weaker than when he had Fa Li.    

Boom!    

His right arm arched and punched the Four-footed Demon's chest, breaking his ribs and leaving a small hole in his chest. Chen Xiao lost his ability to resist and seized the opportunity to hit the Demon's head with his left hand.    

The head shattered and fell to the ground.    

Everything happened too fast. It was only when the four-legged monster was killed by Chen Xiao that the other monsters reacted.    

At almost the same time he made his move, Fairy Yun also coordinated with him.    

She used a treasured sword that glowed with a cold light. The blade was long, the edge was like snow, and her moves were even more decisive.    

With a flash of the sword, it would cut off the limbs of a monster. With another twist of the sword, it would cut off the monster's head. Its killing intent was bone-chilling cold.    

Without the support of Fa Li, a cultivator could only perform the most basic techniques. It was similar to the techniques of the so-called martial arts masters in the mortal world. However, the power was completely different.    

"What a sharp sword art."    

Chen Xiao thought to himself. His hand was not idle either. He took back his black dragon spear and chopped off the demon.    

They were still not skilled in cooperating so they were able to quickly get rid of several monsters. There wasn't much of a disturbance as it was very easy for them to deal with them.    

Staring at the corpse of the demonic beast on the ground, Fairy Yun's expression was cold as she brandished her sword, sending out a resplendent sword flower. She sheathed her sword and said, "These demonic beasts aren't strong. They only have the strength of Dao Emperors."    

Chen Xiao nodded, "Indeed, but why would the demon appear here, in the dimension created by the Dark Demon Pestle? Could the original owner of the Dark Demon Pestle not have died on the Demon God Battlefield, but survived until now?"    

Fairy Yun furrowed her eyebrows before shaking her head, "That is unlikely. No demon has survived to this day. Even if they did, it would be impossible for the elders to detect them."    

Although this was the first time that the ruins of the ancient dragon palace had been officially opened and was known to the cultivators of the Realm of the Gods, the truth was that many great cultivators had already explored it once and taken away its treasures.    

It was not that there were none who could avoid the long habitat exploration, but it was obviously impossible for them to be in such a place.    

There had to be something else that was strange about the monster appearing here.    

"A demon with the strength of a Dao Emperor is only the lowest existence within the Demon Region army. It belongs to the Demon Soldier class. As for the Black Demon Pestle Master, his strength is at least that of a Demon General."    

As she spoke, she squatted down to carefully examine the corpses of the monsters. She looked as if she was deep in thought.    

"Demon General?" Chen Xiao frowned, this was the first time he heard this.    

Fairy Yun nodded.    

"Demon Generals' strength is equal to the heavenly tribulation of Realm of the Gods' cultivators. However, even Demon Generals have their strengths. The weaker ones are only comparable to the peak of the Saints, and the stronger ones aren't inferior to the Great Cultivator Ethereal Opening Realm."    

"Hiss ~"    

Chen Xiao could not help but sniff and was shocked in his heart. Just a Demon General already had strength comparable to Long Habitat? Truly powerful.    

It was no wonder that the Infernal domain would dare to invade the Celestial domain.    

At this time, it also squatted down, because it discovered an incomparably strange and horrifying thing. There wasn't even the slightest bit of blood on the bodies of the dead demonic beasts, nor was there even the slightest bit of bodily blood.    

The corpses of the dead monsters were like a pile of black and gray stones that were scattered on the ground.    

Other than these, what Chen Xiao couldn't understand was that these monsters didn't even have souls, not even a single soul.    

He did not have flesh and blood, nor a soul, but he was an existence that was like the living beings of the Realm of the Gods. He also had intelligence, this …    

This was too weird and terrifying. Chen Xiao couldn't react in time, and his mind went blank.    

It was worthy of being called a demon. This kind of creature completely surpassed the scope of the living creatures of the Realm of the Gods. It was a completely different species.    

In the Realm of the Gods, the Immortal Region, and the countless worlds of this world, there existed all sorts of life forms.    

Although these Realm of the Gods' creatures had completely different bloodlines and appearances, there was one thing they all had in common.    

They all had flesh and blood and souls that could cultivate and transform into human forms.    

However, these strange demons were completely different. They were two completely different species. Did this also mean that the so-called Demon Area and the existence of the Realm of the Gods were two completely different existences?    

However, with Chen Xiao's experience, he was obviously unable to imagine what kind of existence the Infernal domain was.    

Just as he was deep in thought, Fairy Yun's expression suddenly changed. She grabbed Chen Xiao and took a few steps back, retreating to a distance of 100 feet.    

The body of the monster that was originally lying on the ground began to disintegrate. It turned into ashes and disappeared into thin air. All that was left on the ground were faint gray traces.    

"This is …"    

Chen Xiao's pupils constricted. This scene was too horrifying and hard to understand. He subconsciously looked towards Fairy Yun.    

She exchanged a glance with him and shook her head. "Disperse into ashes. I have never heard of such a thing. The ancient books have never recorded anything about it either. It's really hard to understand."    

After their previous speculation that there might be other cultivators left in the world of darkness and that they had encountered a demon, the two temporarily stopped thinking about continuing to explore and went back the way they came from.    

They found a place to hide in the ground for the two to temporarily take shelter.    

Since he had no way out for the time being, he had to make plans for the long term. Cultivating for no time meant nothing to a cultivator. Sometimes, when he was in closed-door seclusion for decades.    

After that, aside from practicing body techniques, the two of them would carefully check their surroundings every day.    

The two of them were very careful. Each time, their detection range was not very large. Basically, they would only expand their range further after determining that it was safe. Their goal was to avoid detection as much as possible.    

After about a month they encountered monsters for the second time. The last time they encountered monsters was not far away.    

But there were ten monsters which were twice as many as the last time. Moreover their strength was slightly increased.    

Both of them spent some time to finish off the monster. It was the same as last time as the last time. The monster's body couldn't be left and it would eventually collapse and dissipate.    

In the third month both of them encountered monsters again. The distance between them was close to the last time.    

This time, the number of monsters increased by one fold to twenty. Each monster became stronger and more difficult to deal with. This whole situation was very strange.
