The experts of the immortal realms all turned to that direction. From their vision, they could see a group of terrifying beasts approaching and finally, after a violent burst of demonic qi, the countless demon beasts here were all prostrating themselves in worship, welcoming their king.
The people who appeared, weren't in the form of demonic beasts, but were in the form of humans instead. In addition, it was not only just a single group of people who showed up.
"Are they from the royal factions of the Desolate Mountains?" An expert asked in a low voice. After that, a group of experts appeared from the void. Without an exception, all of them were at the immortal emperor realm. The immortal emperors from the north were the most in number. They had reached here long ago but were in the shadows, observing the situation. Now that the royal factions of the Desolate Mountains came out, they naturally appeared as well.
"Royal faction of the Desolate Ten Thousand Mountain Range?" The hearts of the crowd trembled. Similar to their immortal realms, were the Desolate Mountains ruled by some of the more powerful greater demon races, which made up of the peak powers in there?
For those human-formed demons who appeared, the weakest among them were at the immortal king realm, or better known as demon kings. Terrifying auras gushed forth from them, each of them was an extraordinary character. This group of people were like the royal faction from the White Tiger Race or Sky Roc Race, a faction where kings were born.
The Desolate Mountains were the true world for demons. The demonic races there all had inheritances from the ancient era. After countless years, nobody knew how terrifying they were. There were even cases that the demons from the Desolate Mountains dominating everyone and almost ruled the immortal realms, unifying it under their name. It was only after ancient emperors were born did the situation reverse.
Now, it has been too long since the last commotion occurred in the Desolate Mountains. This time around, the forming of the great beast tide caused the experts of the major powers in the immortal realms to all gather here.
"There are so many from the immortal realms here." One of the demonic beasts spoke. His tone was extremely calm, yet there was an arrogance within. The fearsome aura of a demon king could be felt radiating from this beast. However, he was in his human form. His body was dark in color and he was in a white robe. There actually were horns above his head.
"From the Nether Ao Race." An immortal emperor from the northern regions spoke, as his eyes gleamed with coldness.
The major powers of the northern regions did capture some demons from the Desolate Mountains for their research before, they also had ancient records regarding the Desolate Mountain and had a clearer understanding about the ancient demonic races there.
Demons were different from humans. Humanity might produce supreme geniuses from anywhere, depending on hard work and good fortune. However, for demonic beasts, they depended on their innate talents. Their potentials were usually already fixed and their achievements couldn't be bolstered by hard work.
The Nether Aos were also known as karma beasts. They were a terrifying kind of ancient demons that were extremely brutal and loved to feast on humans. In the ancient records, there were many cases of Nether Aos wreaking havoc on the world. The Nether Aos were one of the most cruel types of demons.
"You are somewhat learned." That demonic young man laughed. "You humans have occupied the immortal realms for far too long, and even treat our Demonic Mountains as a tempering ground to train your juniors. We can't be bothered with that. However, it has been too long, it's about time for you guys to scram out of Skybreak City. For any humans who don't leave, we will treat you all as sacrificial beings. Through these years, you all have hunted many demonic beasts. Just slaughtering a city of humans can be treated as a small price to pay."
"The Desolate Ten Thousand Mountain Range and immortal realms have long set the boundary lines and neither interfered with each other. Now you all want to exit the mountains and want us to pay with the lives of a city?" An immortal emperor from the Hundred Refinements Sect coldly asked. His aura was very terrifying, causing the air around him to be filled with a sense of heat.
"Just a city and you all dare to refuse?" Another demonic expert spoke. This person was very sturdy in build. His eyes gleamed with green light, causing no one to dare to match his gaze. In just a breath of time, auras of two extremes manifested, one ice-cold, one blazing-hot. He was terrifying to the extreme.
"It's rumored that the Torch Dragon Race is living in the mountain too, capable of controlling night and day, ice and fire. You must be from the Torch Dragon Race." Someone stared at the demonic expert who spoke.
"That's right." A cold gleam flashed in the eyes of the torch dragon. In an instant, the sky changed color as day turned into night. In another instant, dawn arrived. Such was an innate ability granted to them by the heavens, inconceivable by humans.
"No need to talk so much crap, just scram." A woman's voice rang out. The demon who spoke was a charming female. Just a glance was sufficient to cause others to fall in mesmerization.
"Nine-tails demonic fox." An immortal emperor spoke. All these ancient demons could only be found in the ancient records. To think all of them appeared here now.
"There are Qiongqi, Taowu, Taotie race here too." Someone glanced about, naming the demons. All these brutal demons actually gathered together and a woman in pristine white seemed to be at their center. This woman had very fair skin and looked extremely fragile, like nothing but a weakling. However, all the baleful demons seemed to be very respectful of her. Beside her, a young man with golden-scaled armor could also be seen, he was someone from the Kirin Race.
"Could that female be the legendary greater demon Baize? The mount of the demon god?"
Legends had it that Baizes are sacred beasts, the mounts of demon gods. Only when a demon god was born would a Baize appear. Baizes had the ability to transform into a million manifestations and nobody would be able to spot the difference.
The expressions of the experts from the immortal realms all grew heavy. These powerful legendary demons appeared one after another, this clearly wasn't a good omen.
"The Evil God Race? It's said that they are the descendants of the Evil God and cultivates in the most evil kind of energy in the world."
"The Heavenhold Race. They resemble humans but are smaller in stature. Despite so, the energy of the demon god runs in their veins and they are able to hold up the skies, possessing boundless strength and are proficient in bow and spear arts."
"Demon Apes, known for their unparalleled defenses."
"The Phoeroc Race is also here." An immortal emperor glanced at some of the demons. These demons had bright red wings and radiated a king aura. These demons were birthed when a phoenix mates with a roc.
It was rumored that the sky rocs and phoenixes have always been in opposition, the two races always in violent collision. However, under a stroke of fate, a powerful sky roc actually mated together with a powerful phoenix, giving birth to the first generation Phoeroc. This Phoeroc was hunted down by experts of the two races, and fled to the great wilderness, almost dying many times. However, when it matured, it actually possessed the abilities of the two races, and defeated the experts of both races, becoming a unique existence which eventually united the two races. There were naturally a few remnants who refused to follow him, and these remnants became the Sky Roc Race of the immortal realms.
How terrifying would a variation beast born from the union of phoenixes and sky rocs be? They are definitely among one of the most powerful races in the Desolate Mountains.
When the immortal emperors of the immortal realms saw these powerful demons, their hearts all trembled. What was happening in the Desolate Ten Thousand Mountain Range exactly? Did these demons really want to plan an invasion?
Also, there are some demons in human-form that didn't have any special characteristics but their auras were also extremely terrifying. There were a countless number of demons within the Desolate Mountains and even some extremely tyrannical ones like the Phoeroc Race.
All the immortal kings of the immortal realms had a heavy expression on their faces. These demons were truly strong, capable of making them feel a threat.
Once, when the sacred academy was opened, one of the four academies, had a secret realm specifically for demons. Over there, the true intent of countless supreme greater demons could be found. But right now, these demons are all the real deal.
"Everyone, what is your purpose for wanting Skybreak City?" An immortal emperor asked.
"Too much nonsense. If you guys still don't scram, we will directly send out our demon army and attack." Another young man in golden armor from the demon side coldly spoke. Although he was in human form, the demonic qi from him couldn't be mistaken. At this moment, a pair of gigantic sun wings appeared behind him, shocking to the extreme.
He resembled an ancient demonic race that was the Golden Crow Race, as well as an enigmatic race that's known as the Gold Beast. In truth, he was also a variation-type demon, a mix of the two.
"All of you might be from the Desolate Mountains, but if you think you all can invade the immortal realms with your strength alone, that's truly a little ridiculous." Pei Qing coldly spoke. As an immortal emperor, he naturally had the qualifications to speak. These demons might be powerful but there were only a few demon emperors among them, a far cry from the number of immortal emperors the immortal realms had.
"Do you think that all the emperors from the respective demon races would be here?" Another greater demon had a cruel grin on his face. "If they really personally came out, our request wouldn't be so simple as to just wanting Skybreak City alone."
"The demons of the Desolate Mountains are forming a beast tide to obtain Skybreak City of humanity? What are you all up to?" A human expert coldly laughed. "Could it be something major is happening inside the Desolate Mountains and you don't want the humans of the immortal realms to notice it?"
"Humans are truly troublesome to deal with." The demons mused. Powerful auras gushed forth from them only to hear the female Baize saying, "The descent of the demon god, the Desolate Mountains is welcoming its true master. This has nothing to do with your immortal realms. But if you humans want to interfere, I can give you all two choices. First, let a war begin, my Desolate Mountains will invade the immortal realms. Second, you all can choose a group of immortal kings to fight against us one on one. If you all win, we will retreat immediately. But if you all lose, you guys will give Skybreak City to us."
The greater demons silently waited with cold expressions as their demonic auras filled the air. Regardless of which choice, the humans of the immortal realms would lose for sure. There was no need to doubt this point.
Their demon races have developed for so many years in the Desolate Mountain and right now, their strength has already reached the peak, ushering in a new era for demons. Each king of the different races were all extremely powerful, how can the puny humans withstand them? From their spies, the demons already learned about the situation in the immortal realms. Although the rise of a new era was imminent and humanity did produce many geniuses, they were still far from sufficient when compared to the Royal Factions of the demon races!
