Chapter 244: The Despair of the Demon Generals

Boom!

A thunderous explosion suddenly echoed from afar, and the sensed spatial fluctuations grew increasingly intense.

Dongbo Xueying’s expression shifted slightly. He immediately took a step forward, his figure distorting as he directly entered the Void Dimension, swiftly heading toward the battlefield. His flying speed reached its peak, and soon he witnessed the intense battle taking place.

Upon the azure ocean, an ice-blue towering demon was roaring in fury, desperately trying to flee!

“You cannot escape, Ice Demon!” A voice thundered across the heavens and earth. A woman in a silver robe wore a crown upon her head—the Sea God Crown, one of the two supreme treasures of the Sea God Palace, most suitable for use by an extraordinary mage. At this moment, the crown was emitting countless threads that spread throughout the surrounding sea for thousands of miles.

Invisible runes faintly appeared within the sea, and eventually, the threads coiled around the Ice Demon.

In the distant horizon, another extraordinary mage—a black-robed elder—was casting a spell. High in the sky, he condensed a dazzling radiant sphere, so brilliant it seemed to outshine the sun itself. This sphere emitted blinding beams that enveloped the Ice Demon, causing his icy scales to sizzle and emit painful shrieks.

“On the sea, you still think you can escape from our Sea God Palace?” The Sea God Palace’s Grand Elder, the most powerful presence in the mortal world upon the oceans, was swiftly chasing down the Ice Demon.

“You? You think you can stop me?” The ice-blue giant continued to flee at high speed. The situation was turning dire for him—the two extraordinary mages were suppressing his power to only six or seven tenths of his full strength. He had to break free from this predicament as soon as possible.

“Exactly, just me! Today, you only have death awaiting you!” At this moment, the Grand Elder’s body seemed to be formed of flowing water, his entire figure faintly translucent. His long, flowing hair shimmered like water, and his eyes burned with killing intent. In one hand, he held a black long staff—the Sea Calming Primordial Staff, the most powerful divine treasure of the Sea God Palace. At this moment, the vast power of the ocean across thousands of miles surged continuously into the staff.

“Die!” The Grand Elder moved with terrifying speed and had already caught up to the towering ice demon.

The staff lunged forward, instantly transforming into a streak of golden light, so fast it was terrifying, already striking toward the Ice Demon’s back. The Ice Demon immediately turned and raised his claws to block!

Whoosh—

Coldness spread outward, freezing everything around it—seawater surged and even space itself began to freeze. The surface of the attacking staff was also coated with a layer of ice.

Crack!

The claws grasped the staff, accompanied by a strange vibration.

The Ice Demon’s eyes widened in shock. His body trembled violently, bones snapping within him like breaking twigs. He spat out a mouthful of purple blood, and blood trickled from his ears and nostrils.

Crash! Immediately after striking the staff, the Grand Elder swiftly raised it upward!

The Grand Elder’s staff technique could be described in one word—speed!

Once again, it became a streak of golden light.

The tip of the staff struck upward, smashing into the Ice Demon’s chin. With a splatter, the demon’s jaw was utterly shattered, and he was sent flying backward.

Whoosh! The Grand Elder’s water-like body surged forward instantly. Then, gripping the staff with both hands, he furiously slashed downward!

Boom!

The Ice Demon was cleaved straight into the ocean below.

“How can his staff technique be so powerful!” The Ice Demon was in a panic. His body was rapidly healing, but he was desperate. In raw speed, he had no fear, but his mastery of the laws of the realm was completely suppressed by the surrounding spells! He wielded the third-tier true essence—‘Frostspace’—but the Sea God Palace’s treasures controlled the surrounding seawater, and under their suppression, his ‘Frostspace’ could not unleash its full might.

In direct combat?

On the sea’s surface, the Grand Elder could completely overwhelm Mountain Master He. He was clearly at a disadvantage in physical form.

“Could I actually die here?” The Ice Demon felt deeply frustrated. The sensation of being completely suppressed was unbearable.

“Die.” The Grand Elder charged forward once again.

The Ice Demon gritted his teeth. His face twisted in fury as he finally unleashed his innate technique as an Upper Demon. Boom~~~ A chilling mist suddenly surged from his body, an icy-cold vapor that surrounded him, even resisting the suppression of the spells. His body simultaneously shrank, becoming only about five feet tall, his scales even denser, and his already handsome face even more refined.

“I, Ralph, am a noble Upper Demon! How could I die in this mortal world?” The Ice Demon Ralph roared furiously. Facing the incoming strike of the staff, he merely raised his right arm to block! Upon impact, Ralph only stepped back once, a faint trickle of blood appearing at the corner of his mouth, but no bones were broken.

“Is that so?” The Grand Elder sneered. Whoosh! Suddenly, grayish mist spewed from his wrist, surging and instantly entwining around the Ice Demon Ralph.

“Divine Realm Battle Spirit???” Ralph was both shocked and enraged. Already struggling, now he faced this mist-like, unpredictable Divine Realm Battle Spirit binding him—how could he fight?

“I already knew you were a noble Upper Demon. Our Xia Clan had also guessed you were hiding your techniques, so how could we not prepare more thoroughly!” The Grand Elder sneered, “Upper Demon? Hmph, come to our Xia Clan’s territory, and you must die!”

“No, no… How did you know? How did you find me? And why do you know exactly how to counter me!” Ralph went mad, “I was inside my warship! How did you even find me?”

“A dead demon doesn’t need to ask so many questions!”

“I can’t accept this! I can’t accept it!”

“Why? I didn’t even bring a single subordinate with me. I should have been undetectable. I was so careful. I, Ralph… I haven’t returned to my family, haven’t become a Demon God, haven’t killed my damned older brother and seized the clan leadership! I refuse to accept this!” Ralph struggled wildly, desperate to carve a path to survival.

Within the Void Dimension, Dongbo Xueying watched coldly. Those who dared slaughter the Xia Clan should be ready to be slain by the Xia Clan!

…

Elsewhere, the smaller purple-armored demon general, General Yanze, was in an even worse situation.

Boom! Two black and white crescent moons descended from the sky, spinning like grinding millstones, directly crashing into the purple-armored demon. His body cracked and shattered inch by inch. Mountain Master He watched coldly from afar.

Beside him, a massive ancient tree guardian swayed its limbs and leaves, while Thunder God Chao Qing was even more domineering and invincible!

Dark Mage Zang Nuo coldly manipulated the spell formation.

“He won’t struggle for much longer.” Even Ghost Knight Feng Dong was relaxed enough to no longer need to intervene.

“How did you find me? How did you find me? Impossible! I couldn’t have been exposed!” General Yanze, the purple-armored demon, raged like a madman, “I didn’t tell any other generals! Not even the Demon God knew! My subordinates knew, but they were all inside my warship! How did you find me?”

“I refuse to die! I refuse to die!” General Yanze roared furiously. How cautious had he been? He had been hiding and waiting for the right moment, yet disaster had struck from nowhere!

…

“Spit!”

Sikong Yang, the Lord of Observation, emanated a resplendent golden radiance. His palm, equally blinding in its brilliance, descended with crushing force upon the crimson-armored succubus’s skull.

The succubus’s body shattered into countless fragments.

Then reformed.

Sikong Yang struck once more! The battle here unfolded with lightning speed. Sikong and his allies had already seized absolute dominance. The succubus could offer no resistance, merely enduring with its immortal form—yet each devastating blow rained down like the crushing weight of the sun itself. Every strike annihilated it at the molecular level. It wouldn’t be long before the succubus met its final doom.

Her body reformed again, her soul screaming in fury and despair: “You Xia Clan couldn’t have found me! Impossible!”

…

The gray-robed demonic elder stared at the Xia Clan’s demigods ahead, surrounded by a devastating magical formation that repeatedly destroyed his body. His form was further entangled by countless runes, making escape nearly impossible.

“Tell me! How did you find me? How did you find me!” The gray-robed demon elder roared in fury and despair.

…

Mountains were flattened, lands torn apart.

The mighty and heroic Lord Bu, the White-Clothed City Lord of Yunwu City, led other demigods and Divine Realm Battle Spirits, surrounding the area.

The nearly thousand-foot-tall demon general, ‘Mountain Demon,’ lay on the ground like a massive hill. White threads completely bound him—he had been captured alive!

“How could this happen? How? How could I be discovered? It shouldn’t be like this!” The Mountain Demon, lying there, was utterly despairing.
