Chapter 467: Chapter 1: The Immortal Celestial Ship, Tower of Ten Thousand Demons—Hurry to the Purple Mansion to Invite Alliance Leader Zhou Chen

Celestial Demon Realm.

The gray sky seemed to carry a bloody aura, filled with agitation, violence, and killing intent.

This is the Demonic Qi in the Celestial Demon Realm.

It is similar to the Spiritual Qi of the Celestial Essence Continent.

However, while this Demonic Qi is rich in energy, it is also filled with violent tendencies, making the creatures of the Celestial Demon Realm extremely irritable and combative.

At this moment.

At the highest point in the center of the Celestial Demon Realm.

There stands an extraordinarily towering mountain, named the Demon God Peak.

Throughout history, most Demon Gods of the Celestial Demon Realm have ascended to godhood atop Demon God Peak.

Therefore.

Demon God Peak is the supreme Holy Land of the Celestial Demon Realm.

Atop the mountain.

A majestic great hall stands, with a plaque at the entrance bearing three large characters:

Demon God Hall!

Seeing these three characters is like being gazed down upon by various Demon Gods; even a Demon Emperor would feel suffocating pressure and palpitations.

This Demon God Hall is a Divine Artifact.

It is also imbued with the will and Dao rhythm left by successive ascending Demon Gods, possessing limitless divine power and being the supreme treasure of the Celestial Demon Realm.

Now inside this great hall, numerous demonic shadows stand solemnly; each shadow exudes a terrifying aura of supremacy high as the sky, respecting none but themselves.

Demon Emperors!

They are all Demon Emperors here.

They originally thought conquering the Celestial Essence Continent would be as easy as reaching into a bag, each fighting separately in haste to seize more resources and territory by invading the Celestial Essence Continent first.

However, reality dealt them a heavy blow, a stern wake-up call.

This battle.

Rough estimates suggest about thirty Demon Emperors were killed or wounded.

This is unprecedented.

Even though fierce conflicts over resources are common in the Celestial Demon Realm, leading to frequent battles, it is rare for a Demon Emperor to fall.

Perhaps not even one Demon Emperor might fall in tens of thousands of years.

Yet, within a single day, dozens have fallen.

Though they knew that attacking the Celestial Essence Continent would inevitably result in some Demon Emperor casualties, given that the Celestial Essence Continent has numerous Supreme Powerhouses.

Even if they had a numerical superiority, with the opponents’ counterattack, Demon Emperors were bound to fall.

But they didn’t expect so many to fall so quickly.

To this point.

They had no choice but to temporarily halt the attack on the Celestial Essence Continent, consolidate their forces, and then invade the Celestial Essence Continent in one fell swoop to eliminate its powerhouses.

"Actually, the strength of the Celestial Essence Continent did not exceed our expectations. With the power of our Celestial Demon Realm, even if each fought on their own, we could conquer the Celestial Essence Continent. But the Celestial Essence Continent produced a weirdo."

A hoarse and sinister voice echoed, and gazes turned to a Demon Emperor seated on a bone throne.

Beneath the throne lay what seemed to be mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Profound Corpse Demon Emperor sat with a pale face atop the bone throne, endless deathly aura surrounding him, akin to a god of death.

"I have ascertained information about that person, named Zhou Chen, barely over a hundred years old, his cultivation is only at the Dharma Realm, equivalent to a Demon General."

In their eyes, Demon Generals were no different from cannon fodder.

To them, only Demon Emperors count as high-level, Demon Kings as middle-level, while Demon Generals and other soldiers are about the same.

"However, this person is said to be the reincarnation of a Supreme Immortal God, and his Flying Ship is incredibly terrifying; many Demon Emperors were instantly killed with no chance to escape!"

"Based on intelligence, the dozens of Demon Emperors lost this time were all killed by Zhou Chen’s Flying Ship. Once we deal with him, the rest will be easy to handle!"

Profound Corpse Demon Emperor’s words made the Demon Emperors nod subtly; they all knew Zhou Chen and acknowledged that Zhou Chen was the biggest obstacle in their attack on the Celestial Essence Continent.

As Demon Emperors, they were no fools; gathering information was easy. By capturing a few Kings or Emperors from the Celestial Essence Continent and conducting a Soul Search, they could learn a lot.

"Zhou Chen’s Flying Ship should be a special and powerful treasure, capable of integrating various Emperor’s Divine Artifacts to enhance its power."

A Demon Emperor seated upon the Blood Sea Throne continued:

"I’ve seen that the ancestral Divine Artifact Yin Yang Mirror of the Giant Koi Demon Emperor and his Emperor’s Weapon, Giant Koi Wings, were both fused into the Celestial Ship, becoming a great killing weapon. Many Demon Emperors were instantly killed by the Yin Yang Mirror."

"Therefore, we must concentrate our strength, not fight individually, letting Zhou Chen defeat us one by one and present him with Emperor’s Divine Artifacts!"

"I propose that we all work together, focus all the power of the Celestial Demon Realm, and also refine a great killing weapon."

"This great killing weapon must be able to merge all our powers with Divine Artifacts and Emperor’s Weapons, so even if Zhou Chen’s Flying Ship is formidable, it will surely not be a match!"

"I think this is feasible!"

"Agreed!"

...

The Demon Emperors unanimously agreed.

As long as Zhou Chen, with his Celestial Ship, could instantly kill Demon Emperors, they dared not venture into the Celestial Essence Continent, much less capture its resources and territories.

As the Demon Emperors made their decision.

The Celestial Demon Realm immediately mobilized; countless rare treasures were sent to Demon God Mountain, where skilled artifact-refining Demon Emperors worked together to begin creating a great killing weapon.

Other Demon Emperors assisted, gathering materials.

With the resources of an entire realm and the leadership of all Demon Emperors, an immensely towering and vast black giant tower slowly took shape.

This is the Tower of Ten Thousand Demons.

It signifies the capacity to contain and suppress all demons and foes.

...

Celestial Essence Continent.

In the boundless starry sky, a silver-white Flying Ship materialized, hovering above a dark yellow, lifeless star.

This star is enormous, conservatively estimated to be no smaller than Saturn of the previous life.

There is no life here.

The Celestial Ship’s detection shows likewise, there are no living beings around.

Zhou Chen stood on the deck of the Celestial Ship, his entire body seemingly merged perfectly with the Celestial Ship.

His feet seemed to grow from the Celestial Ship, all pulsations resonating as if in the same instant frequency.
