Chapter 461: Chapter 59: Wukong Battles Guanshiyin?

Nanling.

This is the south of the Celestial Essence Continent.

The mountains here are tall and the forests dense, home to countless races, mainly the Barbarian Race and the Demon Race.

The Demon Race is a collective term, encompassing countless races of magic beasts.

In Nanling, the cry of apes and roar of tigers resound, exotic beasts run rampant, various raptors soar, some resembling azure dragons but with wings, others like the Divine Phoenix but with crimson scales...

The strength of the tribes in Nanling is very strong, but even so, they fall into a disadvantage against the massive invasion of the Celestial Demon Realm.

There’s nothing they can do about it.

The overall strength of the Celestial Demon Realm is stronger than that of the Celestial Essence Continent, and the number of Supreme Powerhouses exceeds the Celestial Essence Continent by far, not to mention the powerhouses below the supreme level.

The number of the Demon Race in the Celestial Demon Realm is expanding rapidly, consuming resources immensely, with demands far exceeding supply, competition is extremely fierce.

Therefore.

99% of the Demon Race are extremely ruthless and belligerent.

After the Celestial Essence Continent became adjacent.

A brand-new world appeared, a huge opportunity for powerhouses of all races in the Celestial Demon Realm.

For the Demon Emperor Realm powerhouses, they have already reached the pinnacle of the human world, even if they conquer the Celestial Essence Continent, the short-term benefits are limited.

But for the entire race and long-term planning, the impact is profound.

The benefits for race development are unimaginable.

Of course.

Most of the Demon Race are selfish and self-interested, even if it’s for their own race, they aren’t willing to risk their lives, but why are they so desperate to invade the Celestial Essence Continent?

Because once they conquer the Celestial Essence Continent, fusing the Celestial Demon Realm with the Celestial Essence Continent, more accurately letting the Celestial Demon Realm devour the Celestial Essence Continent.

Then the Celestial Demon Realm will undoubtedly take another step forward.

A submerged dragon cannot be raised.

The Demon Emperor has already reached the pinnacle of the human world.

But if the Celestial Demon Realm takes another step forward, equivalent to a lake becoming a sea, they can seize the supreme opportunity of world advancement, breaking the shackles in one fell swoop, ascending to the Divine Realm, becoming a Demon God.

And the larger the territory occupied by a race, the more luck is distributed when the world advances, not only increasing their chances of ascending to Demon God, but their race will also experience a leap in improvement.

This is the main reason why demon emperor powerhouses charge into the Celestial Essence Continent one after another.

More importantly, as a Demon Emperor, the pinnacle of the human world, it is extremely difficult to kill a Demon Emperor, even with a Divine Artifact.

In the war so far, apart from the Demon Emperor defeated by Zhou Chen, no Demon Emperor has fallen.

It can be said that if not for Zhou Chen, although many Demon Emperors would fall in the battle between the two realms, the chance of Demon Emperors falling, given their absolute advantage, is very small.

With such a small chance of falling, and such amazing benefits, which Demon Emperor wouldn’t be envious and eager?

They all want to occupy more territory at the earliest opportunity.

Therefore.

Countless Demon Emperors are rushing to be the first to invade the Celestial Essence Continent!

Like a swarm of starving rats seeing a warehouse full of rice!

Who wouldn’t be frantically excited?

"Kill!"

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

...

The battle in Nanling rages on, the sky and earth turning dark, the sun and moon losing their light, Supreme Powerhouses reveal their true forms, gigantic beasts covering thousands of miles appear like eternal voids.

There are roars of Qilin, the ascension of true dragons, the flight of phoenixes, the sky-splitting of White Tigers, the world-suppressing of the Black Tortoise, the presence of a Great Roc...

These gigantic beasts are both from the Celestial Demon Realm and Nanling.

Zhou Chen navigates the Red Dust Celestial Ship across the void, arriving at Nanling, hiding in the shadows.

With the Celestial Secret Umbrella and the power of the Celestial Ship, no matter how keenly aware a Demon Emperor is, he would never be able to detect his presence.

"Such a huge Fire Phoenix!"

Zhou Chen reclines on the large bed of the Celestial Ship, holding Shuiyun Fairy in his arms, watching the scene projected on the virtual light screen ahead.

They have not parted.

In the scene, a massive fiery red phoenix spreads across tens of thousands of feet, its entire body adorned with magnificent flaming feathers like raging flames.

The flames flow with brilliance, possessing a terrifying power capable of easily slicing through space, the burning flames possessing the might to scorch the heavens and boil the seas.

A good mount!

Want to ride!

"This should be the Celestial Phoenix Empress."

Although Shuiyun Fairy just ascended to Mahayana, her knowledge far surpasses Zhou Chen, recognizing the identity of this Fire Phoenix with a glance.

At this time, the Celestial Phoenix Empress is fighting against two Demon Emperors.

One Demon Emperor wields a black chain.

This chain is an Emperor’s Weapon, the Heaven-locking Chain, as flexible as a venomous snake, ensnaring one of the Celestial Phoenix Empress’s legs.

The other Demon Emperor wields a gigantic axe, seizing the opportunity while the Celestial Phoenix Empress is ensnared, intending to finish her off.

However, the Celestial Phoenix Empress is not so easily killed.

Her entire body surrounded by boundless flames turns the entire sky into a sea of fire, countless fiery feathers like Flame Divine Swords shoot towards the two Demon Emperors.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

One after another, the continuous assault of sharp, scorching fiery feathers attacks the chain locking her leg, the chain is scorched red by the flames, further attacked at a critical point by endless fiery feathers.

Crack!

The chain snaps, freeing the Celestial Phoenix Empress from her bounds.

But followed immediately, the chain, as if alive, once again entangles her wings.

A giant axe follows straight down from the sky.

A pitch-black fissure rips open the void.

Zhou Chen observes the entire battlefield; there are certainly more than just the two fighting the Celestial Phoenix Empress, likely another twenty or so.

"It’ll be them then!"

Eyeing the two Demon Emperors battling the Celestial Phoenix Empress, Zhou Chen wastes no time deliberating and promptly makes his decision.

"Five-Colored Divine Light, target that Demon Emperor with the giant axe first!"

Zhou Chen orders.

The vast and mighty energy from the Life Thunder Pool instantly pours into the Five-Colored Divine Light Fan, which then brilliantly radiates, the five-colored light swiftly enveloping the Giant Axe Demon Emperor.

Having merged the Divine Artifact Yin Yang Mirror, along with several Emperor’s Weapons like the Profound Turtle Shield, and devoured quite a few Demon Emperors, the Celestial Ship has become more than twice as powerful as before.
