Chapter 825: Chapter 825

The Black Dragon Demon Venerable cautiously searched the surroundings, finding no traces of that terrifying demon venerable. He sighed in relief, yet a surge of malice rose in his heart. Falling to this state was entirely due to that cursed peach blossom. Since you’ve come seeking death, I’ll grant your wish. Even if it costs me my foundation, I must devour you this time.

The enormous figure of the Black Dragon Demon Venerable silently and stealthily shrank, gliding through the river like a small snake.

Outside, the Illusion Peach Demon Venerable stood atop the black clouds, gently waving the Peach Blossom Fan in his hand, his peach-blossom eyes scanning the surroundings with a debonair air.

"Lord Illusion Demon, up ahead is Jia River. The waters are wide, crossing the Bai Ren Mountain Range. I suspect Emperor Gouchen might use Jia River to leave the Bai Ren Mountain Range," a subordinate suggested.

"Oh~ Jia River, is it~" The Illusion Peach Demon Venerable lightly pointed with the Peach Blossom Fan and said, "Search!"

Amidst the wailing and howling, a group of demons rushed toward the great river, crashing into it with a series of thuds, splashing water columns.

Illusion Peach Demon Venerable walked upon the river’s surface, creating flowers with every step. His peach-blossom eyes peered through to the riverbed, not missing a trace under the observation of the Demon Eye.

While searching, he was also lost in thought, reflecting on the torrent of recent events. The mind of Illusion Peach Demon Venerable was still in some disarray.

In his view, his master was an ancient great demon, perpetually on the brink of entering the Demon Saint Realm, always at risk of spiraling into madness. That’s why Pan Shi Demon Venerable was so eager to learn about Emperor Gouchen to seek guidance from the Demon Ancestor.

An urgent sense of urgency rose within Illusion Peach Demon Venerable. To survive, he must put all his effort into finding Emperor Gouchen.

If Pan Shi Demon Venerable could enter the Demon Saint Realm while maintaining his sanity, it would be a great opportunity for him. From their brief encounters, Pan Shi Demon Venerable appeared to be a decent master, willing to suppress the Black Dragon Demon Venerable for him, respecting his strength, and even providing means to protect his life. By demon realm standards, such conduct made him a sage ruler and saintly master.

But if he failed to find Emperor Gouchen and Pan Shi Demon Venerable was forced into the Demon Saint Realm, the chaotic Power of Laws in the Demon Realm would plunge a Demon Saint into semi-madness, potentially leading to his own death. No one could predict the thoughts of a mad demon. Even if not killed, life would be unbearable.

There was once a demon venerable enslaved by another. Upon realizing his plight, he abruptly entered the Demon Saint Realm. In his mad state, the Demon Saint massacred hundreds of miles, devouring the enslaving demon venerable, leaving not a trace of True Spirit. Over ten demon venerables fell under that Demon Saint, who was later slain by the Demon King.

Such events were not uncommon in recent history, which led to an unspoken rule among demon venerables: never enslave a fellow demon venerable to ensure their own survival and preserve the peace of the Demon Realm.

As Illusion Peach Demon Venerable walked along the river’s surface, immersed in these thoughts, he momentarily lost focus and was suddenly gripped by a sense of foreboding. The strong sense of crisis spread, and his body instantly disintegrated into thousands of petals.

At almost the same instant, a black dragon shadow burst forth from below, shattering Illusion Peach Demon Venerable into a flurry of petals. Check latest chapters at noⅴelfire.net

The petals converged in the distance, and Illusion Peach Demon Venerable stumbled backward, his expression cold as he shouted, "Black Dragon Demon Venerable!"

The sky rolled with black clouds, rumbling as countless bolts of thunder fell towards Illusion Peach Demon Venerable, charged with the obliterating power of Chaos.

With a swoosh, Illusion Peach Demon Venerable unfurled the folded fan, sending the peach blossoms skyward. Each blossom bore flames, resembling a meteor shower ascending. The petals and thunder clashed, creating twisting black holes.

The Black Dragon Demon Venerable rose silently behind Illusion Peach Demon Venerable, malice in his eyes, a spiked club silently swinging toward the back of Illusion Peach Demon Venerable’s head, devoid of any killing intent.

As the spiked club neared, it accelerated abruptly, a fierce killing intent sweeping towards Illusion Peach Demon Venerable.

Chilled to the bone, Illusion Peach Demon Venerable swung the Peach Blossom Fan, a red blade light striking the spiked club.

"Clang~" A deafening clash sounded as the peach blossoms shattered, and Illusion Peach Demon Venerable lunged forward.

Black water columns shot out from all sides, forming ferocious black dragons charging at Illusion Peach Demon Venerable, their violent aura locking this section of Heaven and Earth.

A misstep followed by another, Illusion Peach Demon Venerable, one step too late, was forced into a defensive stance under the black dragons’ ferocious assault, unable to counterattack.

The other demons scrambled out of the river, but seeing the earth-shaking battle in the distance, none dared approach and instead retreated step by step!

Amidst rumbling sounds, numerous black dragons merged into a colossal black water tornado, standing between Heaven and Earth. The Black Dragon held the Dragon Ball in its mouth, meandering upward within the tornado, red light constantly exploding inside, forming vortices in the swirling waters.

"Eternal Ice Sealing!" A deep voice echoed through the heavens.

The water tornado froze in an instant, becoming a black ice pillar exuding cold air, snow drifting across the land, a red figure trapped within the ice.

In the distance, the demon clan was thrown into chaos.

"What do we do now? What do we do?"

"Should we pledge allegiance to the Black Dragon Demon Venerable?!"

"If you wish to die, go ahead. Don’t forget, our master is no longer Illusion Peach Demon Venerable, but Pan Shi Demon Venerable."

"Let’s observe the situation first. If Lord Illusion Peach Demon Venerable cannot break the seal, we’ll return to find Lord Pan Shi Demon Venerable. For now, let’s scatter and hide."

Numerous demons turned into wisps of demonic qi, disappearing into the forest below.

The Black Dragon Demon Venerable stood proudly atop the ice-sealed divine pillar, declaring, "Illusion Peach Demon Venerable, I’ve given you several chances to live, yet you insisted on seeking death. You can’t blame me for this..." His brow suddenly twitched, and he shot upward.

Boom~ The ice-sealed divine pillar shattered, pieces scattering like concealed weapons, leaving fine cracks in the air.

A black shadow shot upward from below, reaching the Black Dragon Demon Venerable almost instantly.

"Begone~" The Black Dragon Demon Venerable was shocked, flinging his hand. A dragon’s tail formed in the air, executing the Divine Dragon’s tail swipe.

The black shadow threw a punch, gathering lethal energy from Heaven and Earth, overwhelming powerward shaking the heavens.

Boom~ The dragon tail was struck, its scales ripping apart, dragon blood splattering.

"Awooo~" A mournful cry of the Divine Dragon pierced the sky.

Boom~ Boom~ Boom~ Two black silhouettes tangled in the sky.

The sky suddenly darkened as a ten-thousand-meter-long Divine Dragon plummeted from above, crashing into the ground with a rumble. The earth cracked, mountains crumbled, and water gushed forth.
