Chapter 882 Ferocious reputation
In the endless void, spatial turbulence raged.

When the Xuan Shui Crocodile saw the Blue Ice Fairy being swept up and disappearing, his towering body was covered in bulging veins, and he exuded an unprecedented killing intent!
"You deserve to die!!"

He glanced at the shadowy figure who had made the move, and then put away the black spiked club in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, the Xuan Shui Crocodile's body began to undergo incredible changes, gradually transforming from a half-human, half-beast creature into a true dragon covered in dark scales.

roar~
A furious dragon roar resounded, shaking the universe.

The enormous dragon's body coiled and twisted in the void, bursting with bursts of thunder and lightning.

The oppressive aura of the primordial true spirit bloodline descended upon this void.

"True dragon bloodline." Elder Huyan's avatar stared wide-eyed, revealing an expression of disbelief.

Under the suppression of this ancient superior's bloodline, Elder Huyan's cultivation level could not be fully utilized.

But before he could react...

Then he saw the dark dragon in the sky open its huge mouth, condensing a terrifying flame breath that formed an orange ball of light and rushed towards him.

boom!
This flame, carrying a temperature high enough to melt everything, crossed the void in an instant and slammed into Elder Huyan's clone.

Even with his extremely powerful supernatural abilities, he was still blasted away by this fiery breath.

Even the protective aura around him was instantly melted away by the flames.

A plume of black smoke rose from the black figure, frantically extinguishing the flames of the true dragon's breath.

Before he could react, a huge dragon tail arrived in front of him first. With a flick of the tail, it tore through the void and surged with terrifying power.

Even Elder Huyan's clone saw it and immediately became extremely solemn, not daring to take the blow head-on.

He formed a hand seal, pointed it towards his brow, and then vanished as if he had disappeared.

The Xuan Shui Crocodile's powerful attack missed its mark, instantly creating a violent gust of wind.

Elder Huyan's clone was also still shaken. He glanced at the Xuan Shui Crocodile with a complicated expression.

'I never expected this Xuan Shui Crocodile to possess such a high-level True Dragon bloodline.'

'In that case, I can't do anything to him. Otherwise, getting entangled in the karma of the dragon clan would have endless consequences.'

Furthermore, he also realized through the recent exchange that if the main body had not come in person, the clone alone would probably not have been able to stop the Xuan Shui Crocodile.

The black figure looked at the Xuan Shui Crocodile with a complicated expression, then waved its hand and disappeared into nothingness.

Meanwhile, the Xuan Shui Crocodile reverted to human form, and a hint of fatigue appeared on his bushy beard.

Clearly, transforming directly into a true dragon had been quite a burden for him.

If it weren't for my recent breakthrough in cultivation, which allowed me to refine a trace of the true dragon blood sealed within my body, I wouldn't have been able to unleash the True Dragon Incarnation.

As the avatar faded away, he was completely drained of his last bit of strength.

It seems that activating the two bloodline powers within him comes at a great cost.

next moment.

Xuan Shui Crocodile was also affected by the spatial rift, but he was dragged back into the Ancient Demon Realm by an invisible force.

……

And the other side.

On a giant island, the vegetation is so dense that it blocks out the sun, with towering canopies. Each tree is hundreds of feet tall, and in the very center stands a colossal divine tree that seems to stretch as far as the eye can see.

The Blue Ice Fairy collapsed on the island's beach, transforming back into human form. Then, her delicate eyebrows twitched slightly, and she awoke.

At this time.

Two streaks of purple light flashed across the sky, and two women, one tall and one short, descended, their beauty as celestial as fairies.

"Senior sister, look! There are outsiders here." One of the young and playful girls said to the young female cultivator beside her.

“Yes, I saw her. Take her back and await Master’s judgment,” the other purple-robed female cultivator said after a moment’s thought.

……

Within the spirit realm, in the main city of the demon race.

Qin Ming and Long Yuzi stood in mid-air, quietly waiting for the group of demon generals behind them to cross the boundary and teleport.

Behind them stood the demon army with utmost respect.

But after waiting for a long time, there was still no movement in the sky.

Huo Linzi couldn't hold back any longer and finally realized something was wrong. He immediately frowned and said:
"Could something have gone wrong with the interdimensional teleportation?"

Although all three of them, who were at the level of demon generals, succeeded, and the process was even quite smooth, it does not mean that interdimensional teleportation arrays are 100% guaranteed to succeed.

Due to various factors, failure is also possible.

Qin Ming had a vague sense of unease.

Just now, his connection with the Xuan Shui Crocodile and the Blue Ice Fairy became barely perceptible.

Just when everyone was surprised.

buzz~
The beast-headed gate in the sky opened again, accompanied by a massive spatial fluctuation.

A silver-white beam of light shot down from the portal, from which two extremely disheveled figures fell, even rolling down in a rounded manner.

It was none other than the Devouring Sky Rat and Fish Eye Child.

Qin Ming frowned upon seeing this, waved his sleeve, and pulled the two people in front of him, asking, "Why are there only the two of you? Where are the others?"

Inside the shattered interdimensional passage, the Devouring Rat felt as if it had been on a rollercoaster for ten thousand years. Its eyes were still darting around, and it was dizzy and unsteady on its feet.

After it calmed down a bit, it looked up and saw Qin Ming, and immediately shrank back:
Something terrible has happened.

"The interdimensional teleportation array malfunctioned. A treacherous old man actually tried to ambush us, causing us to get separated from them midway."

Yu Muzi was also filled with lingering fear. He didn't say anything, but if it weren't for Fairy Lanbing covering their retreat, the two of them probably wouldn't have made it to the Spirit Realm.

"Devouring Sky Rat Demon General, go back and report to me personally," Qin Ming said with a stern face.

"Yes!" the Devouring Rat replied with a mournful face, knowing that it would be met with a barrage of questions.

This place is not a place for the master and servant to communicate, so it is a private conversation.

Qin Ming then left with the Devouring Sky Rat.

After a while.

Under the arrangement of the demon race in the spirit realm, the master and servant moved into the cave dwelling with the most abundant spiritual energy in the demon race's main city.

Then Qin Ming grabbed the Devouring Sky Rat and entered the Lesser Spirit Realm.

"Tell me what's going on?"

"Didn't you swear you'd bring the Black Water Crocodile and the others back?"

"How can you be such a boss?"

Faced with Qin Ming's barrage of questions, the Devouring Rat lowered its head to the ground.

"Master, after you left, an old bastard secretly plotted against us. He's truly despicable!"

The Devouring Rat then recounted the whole story to him.

After hearing this, Qin Ming also looked bewildered. "Then why didn't you attack the three of us?"

The Devouring Rat stammered, "Perhaps it's because you, Master, are too strong, and you only dare to bully us weaklings."

After thinking it over, it seemed that apart from the Holy Feather Demon Kingdom, there was no one else who had any deep-seated hatred towards him.

Qin Ming's biggest worry right now is the whereabouts and safety of the Xuan Shui Crocodile and the Blue Ice Fairy.

"It looks like we'll have to make another trip to the Ancient Demon Realm."

……

In the ancient demon realm.

Located in a border region near the Holy Feather Demon Kingdom, within an extremely ordinary cultivation market.

The crowds of demon cultivators coming and going were like a never-ending stream, with various vendors calling out their wares, creating a vibrant and bustling atmosphere.

Two people were drinking together in a private room of a restaurant.

The room has been placed under a barrier.

It was Emperor Chen, the Holy Son, and Elder Huyan, who was in charge of guarding the Lesser Cang Realm.

After drinking a cup of wine, Elder Huyan said to Emperor Chensheng in a low voice, "This time, I made an exception and took action, which can be considered as repaying the kindness of Emperor Hao, the Demon Emperor."

"Don't contact me without my permission unless it's something important."

"That white ape demon general is a pillar of our demon race. He is now serving as the supreme commander on the front line of the spirit realm. I would never touch him."

"As for the demon generals under him who were once hostile to you, I have already dealt with them. Their fates are left to destiny."

Emperor Chen, the Holy Son, offered the other party a cup of wine and said, "Senior Huyan, I am naturally aware of the gravity of this matter. I am already extremely grateful that you agreed to help."

"Coco, I heard that the Xuan Shui Crocodile has returned to the Thunder Swamp Water Palace."

Elder Huyan pondered for a moment, then said, "Don't mention this matter again. This person is definitely not as simple as you think. I can only advise you to stay as far away from this demon as possible if you see him in the future."

Emperor Dust Saint Son: "."

"Alright, you'd better forget about this matter. I'm not staying in Xiaocang Realm to be ordered around by you, the Holy Son of the Demon Clan. You'd better watch yourself."

As soon as Hu Changyan finished speaking, the chair was empty; the person had vanished.

Emperor Chen, holding a wine cup, looked at himself with a flurry of expressions before finally letting out a helpless sigh.

……

In the spirit world.

After the last insect swarm, the landscape of the Tianji Mountains has undergone tremendous changes.

All the areas occupied by the demon race have fallen into the hands of the human race, and now the human race and the demon race are in a standoff.

Meanwhile, the demon race could only retreat to its own spiritual domain, gradually losing its say in the strategically vital Tianji Mountain Range and falling into an extremely passive situation.

After the human race occupied two-thirds of the Tianji Mountains, they also increased their defenses there.

In truth, the human race's current bright future is all thanks to Qin Ming's efforts.
Otherwise, they would have been suppressed by the combined forces of the demon and monster races and could only cower in a corner of the Tianji Mountains.

And at this moment.

The human race is stationed at Zhenyuantian City on the front lines.

Master Yuanjue, looking hurried, stepped into a room in a pavilion, then respectfully reported inside with his hands clasped together:

"Reporting to Master, important intelligence has recently arrived from the front lines."

A faint voice came from inside the room:

"Come in and talk."

The furnishings inside were extremely simple, with nothing visible except for a straw cushion.

Sitting cross-legged on the futon was the Zen Master Shenyin, who was in the early stage of the Integration Realm.

When Master Yuanjue saw his master again, he felt as if he were being bathed in Buddhist light. Even being near him brought him a sense of peace. It seemed that he had mastered another great Buddhist supernatural power.

He immediately said, "Master, according to reliable intelligence, three demon generals at the Fusion level and several demon generals have descended upon the 'Suspended Holy City,' one of the main cities of the demon race. It is estimated that other demon reinforcements will arrive in the coming days. We must deal with them as soon as possible."

"What? Three old geezers have suddenly appeared?"

Upon hearing this news, even the usually kind and benevolent Zen Master Shenyin became somewhat uneasy.

This is not good news.

This shows that the demon race in the spirit realm has taken measures to deal with the numerous setbacks it has suffered.

They have even begun to spare no expense, sending three demon generals at the Integration stage directly down from the Ancient Demon Realm to take charge of the situation.

"Have you found out exactly where these three old monsters came from?" Zen Master Shenyin immediately asked another question.

Master Yuanjue replied, "The specifics are not yet clear, but he may be stronger than the previous Demon General Ao Yu."

"In particular, among the three demon generals who descended from the ancient demon realm this time, one of them possesses extremely formidable strength and is said to have successively killed several cultivators of the same level."

Upon hearing this, Zen Master Shenyin's expression immediately became even more unpleasant.

As someone who has been through this process, he knows all too well the difficulty of killing a cultivator of the same level during the Integration Stage.

Therefore, if this is true, this mysterious demon general is about to become the number one enemy of the human race!

"Hmm, you did a good job. Continue to have people keep an eye on the movements of the demon race."

"I have reported this matter to Elder Amitabha and asked the higher-ups of the human race to make a decision."

Since this involves the descent of the ancient demon realm to the mortal realm, and on an unprecedented scale, it must be handled with utmost care.

This news was extremely exciting, so Zen Master Shenyin set off immediately.

In an instant, an atmosphere of impending storm enveloped the human race's main city.

The arrival of powerful reinforcements from the demon race indicates that war is about to begin again.

The fact that the demon race has dispatched such a powerful force this time clearly indicates their intention to retake the Tianji Mountain front; the reason is self-evident.

For a time, everyone was filled with speculation about this mysterious demon general of the demon race.

There are even rumors among high-level cultivators that the demon general who descended to the realm this time is very likely a top-tier demon race giant who is at least at the late stage of the Integration Realm and is comparable to the Seven Sons of the Human Race.
In short, even the army of cultivators stationed on the front lines felt uneasy about such a terrifying existence.

……

In the most central celestial palace of the demon race's 'Suspended Holy City', Qin Ming sat calmly on the throne at the head of the table, looking down at the demons with an air of composure.

at this time.

A demon general stepped forward, his heart pounding with excitement, and declared forcefully, "The human race has never given up on destroying us. From now on, we hope that the White Ape Demon General can lead us to fight back and reclaim the territory that belongs to our demon race."

"This humble general is willing to lead the charge and die for his cause!"

He had originally thought he would receive praise from the White Ape Demon General.

The next moment.

But the other party said indifferently, "What are you fighting for? All you know is mindless warfare. No wonder you can't even hold onto your territory and it all fell into other people's hands."
