Chapter 282: Chapter 249 Eighteen Demon Kings

"This Misty Sea Forest, serving as the gateway forest outside of the Tai'a Sword Sect, is truly amazing!"

Ye Chen had planned to fly directly over the Misty Sea Forest, but the forest was under a flying restriction. With his Divine Sense, Ye Chen realized that it was impossible to fly over it.

So, Ye Chen flew straight into the forest.

As soon as he entered, he noticed that the entire forest was shrouded in a layer of milky white fog. Only by stirring his True Qi could he disperse some of the fog and make out the surroundings of the forest.

The trees within the forest were extraordinarily large, each standing several hundred feet tall—perhaps ten people together couldn't wrap their arms around one tree.

Many of the trees were even species that Ye Chen had never seen before.

The branches and leaves were so dense that they blotted out the sky, and combined with the pervasive fog, they left the Misty Sea Forest dimly lit.

After flying in, Ye Chen released his Divine Sense and let his True Qi surge forth, both defending against the monsters in the forest and making his way toward the other side.

According to the Barbaric Wilderness Mountain and Sea Map, although there were countless Great Demons and Demon Kings in the Misty Sea Forest, as long as one was cautious, it was possible to avoid these creatures and successfully cross the forest.

But as Ye Chen flew several hundred miles, he suddenly heard successive roars of giant demons coming from the forest.

"That sound..."

"Why does it feel like it's getting closer to me?"

Ye Chen sensed that these roars of the giant demons exuded an extreme fear as if the demons were terrified.

What were they afraid of?

And more importantly, Ye Chen felt that the sounds were getting closer to him!

It was as if countless Great Demons were surrounding him from all directions!

This caused Ye Chen's expression to change.

It was known that the Misty Sea Forest held many Demon Kings as powerful as cultivators in the late stages of the Revolving Pill Realm.

If surrounded by many high-ranking Demon Kings, that would be a huge problem!

What Ye Chen didn't know was that these roars of the giant demons coincided with the moment when the mysterious girl's snow-white mink burst into the interior of the Misty Sea Forest.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

As Ye Chen was alert to the abnormal changes in the forest and blasted toward the area where the sounds were weakest, he hadn't gone far when he heard the roars of the giant demons right beside him.

The speed of these demons' encirclement was astonishingly fast!

Even Ye Chen had already seen the giant demons that were closing in on him.

He saw at least a dozen hundred-foot-tall giant demons breaking through the towering trees and furiously surrounding him. With a sweep of his Divine Sense, he felt that there were a total of eighteen giant demons!

Among them were Giant Mountain Ape Monsters the size of small mountains, bizarre eight-legged crawling demons, flying predatory demons, giant green snakes...

All eighteen demons were of Demon King caliber, with the weakest eight being mid-ranking Demon Kings equivalent to the mid-stages of the Revolving Pill Realm, while the other ten were high-ranking Demon Kings equivalent to the late stages of the Revolving Pill Realm!

This again caused Ye Chen's complexion to change.

Ye Chen couldn't understand why, as he flew through the otherwise normal Misty Sea Forest, he was being surrounded by these Demon Kings.

However, now that he was surrounded, Ye Chen wasn't too afraid.

Although he had only slain a low-ranking Demon King equivalent to the early stages of the Revolving Pill Realm—the golden demon carp guarding the Azure Blue Lake in the ancient tomb—he had also battled the Eight Great Demon Towers, equivalent to high-ranking Demon Kings.

Back then, with the power of the Heavenly Saint Realm, Ye Chen was able to contend against two late-stage Revolving Pill Realm Demon Towers joining forces.

Now, Ye Chen's strength had increased even more, and he had some Heavenly Saint Law Beads with him. If these Demon Kings truly dared to fight him, he had means to deal with them!

Even if he ultimately couldn't defeat all the Demon Kings joining forces, Ye Chen was confident he could escape smoothly after exhausting some energy.

First, he needed to see why these Demon Kings were surrounding him!

With a "swoosh," Ye Chen drew his Black Fire Sword and faced the Demon Kings slowly closing in around him. He called out, "Honored Demon Kings, why do you block my path?"

Demon Kings, with their exceptional intelligence, were already capable of speaking and communicating with people, which is why Ye Chen asked this question.

Among the eighteen Demon Kings, the leader was a Mountain Ape Monster King towering over a hundred feet tall. Hearing Ye Chen's question, the Mountain Ape Monster King's massive eyes looked towards one side of the forest before returning his gaze to Ye Chen and saying, "Little child, we are under orders to fight you!"

Under orders? To fight me?

Whose orders were those?

With high-ranking Demon Kings among them, could it be that someone from the Heavenly Saint Realm commanded them?

Thinking this, Ye Chen felt a surge of apprehension. Continue your journey on m|v-l'e -NovelBin.net

If there really were Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouses looking to trouble him, he would need to be very careful.

Following the gaze of the Giant Mountain Ape Monster toward one side of the forest, Ye Chen also looked in that direction but saw nothing.

Could it be that a Heavenly Saint from the Tai'a Sword Sect is blocking my way?

With that thought, Ye Chen shook his head.

Ye Chen had never heard of anyone from the Tai'a Sword Sect intercepting travelers in the Misty Sea Forest, and besides, beings of the Heavenly Saint Realm wouldn't bother stopping him, right?

After all, this place wasn't truly within the boundaries of the Tai'a Sword Sect.

Unable to understand, Ye Chen didn't dwell on it any longer. Clutching the Black Fire Sword in his hand, he looked toward the Demon Kings and said, "If you've been ordered to fight me, just how should we fight before you'll let me leave?"

"How to let you leave? We do not know. We only know that there's a Demon King, ordered to battle you," the Giant Mountain Ape Monster's thunderous voice fell, and then it looked directly at one of the Demon Kings among the eighteen, a mid-tier one.

"Wu Meng, it's your turn to fight!"

The mid-tier Demon King that the Giant Mountain Ape Monster was looking at was none other than a Giant Grizzly Demon towering over eighty zhang tall.

This Giant Grizzly Demon, with muscles as prominent as dragons, clearly possessed immense strength. Its gray fur emitted a soul-shaking murderous aura.

This was a mid-tier Demon King whose vigor was exceptionally formidable, almost matching the strength of one in the late stage of the Dan Rotation phase!

Boom!

Upon being called, the Giant Grizzly Demon immediately stepped forward, its huge eyes looking down at Ye Chen, "Lad, though I'm not sure why that great one ordered me to fight you, he commanded me to use my full strength. If I accidentally kill you, you'd better not blame me!"

Boom!

While talking, the massive, over eighty-zhang-tall Giant Grizzly Demon effortlessly pulled a tree several hundred zhang tall from beside it. With several swipes of its enormous palm, it whittled the tree into a suitably sized large club and held it in its hand.

Using a giant tree as a weapon, this Giant Grizzly Demon indeed possessed terrifying strength!

Facing the colossal bear over eighty zhang tall, Ye Chen appeared incredibly tiny in comparison, yet he exhibited not an ounce of fear.

It's just a mid-tier Demon King.

He had already slain many foes at the stage of the mid Dan Rotation phase; opponents of this caliber couldn't cause him any trouble.

Ye Chen indeed put away the Black Fire Sword, facing the Giant Grizzly Demon with his bare hands, and said, "If we are to fight, then let's begin!"

He also wanted to see what kind of tricks the person behind these giant monsters was playing!

Seeing that Ye Chen had holstered his weapon and chose to confront it bare-handed, the Giant Grizzly Demon seemed to be provoked, roaring loudly, "You little brat, daring to fight me empty-handed, you really don't know the vastness of heaven and earth. If I kill you, you'd better not blame me!"

Roar!

In the midst of speaking, the Giant Grizzly Demon lifted the huge tree club and brought it crashing down towards Ye Chen.

Right when the club neared Ye Chen, he instantly vanished from the spot. With a loud "boom," the club struck the ground.

The entire ground cracked open with a terrifyingly large fissure as a result of the attack, and many large trees within the vicinity were snapped by the sheer force and fell thunderously.

The Giant Grizzly Demon swung its arm, flinging countless large trees far away, and then its gaze fixated on a spot in the void where Ye Chen, who had vanished moments before, now appeared!

"Fast speed!" The Giant Grizzly Demon's eyes gleamed as it observed Ye Chen.

From Ye Chen's instant evasion, it could tell that this human youngster was no ordinary individual.

"Let's see how many times you can dodge!"

Within the glint of its eye, the Giant Grizzly Demon swung the huge tree club in its hand and launched itself towards Ye Chen once more, faster than before, even leaving an afterimage in the void.

Such a massive Giant Grizzly Demon was equally swift!

Seeing the Giant Grizzly Demon charging at him again, Ye Chen narrowed his eyes: "Strong, are you? Let's see whose strength is greater!"

This time, Ye Chen did not dodge. His body erupted with billowing black True Qi, which rose even higher than the Giant Grizzly Demon's body.

Then, enveloped in the rolling black aura, Ye Chen's body shone with a dazzling golden light, clearly a manifestation of the Nine Transformation Golden Body Talisman Pattern!

With the support of True Qi and the talisman pattern, Ye Chen's aura grew even more formidable than the Giant Grizzly Demon's!

As the Giant Grizzly Demon's tree club was about to land just above Ye Chen's head, Ye Chen surged upwards. With the combined power of True Qi and the golden talisman pattern, he caught the giant club with his palm, which was now shining brightly.

Then, with a surge of immense strength from his hand, Ye Chen swirled upward into the sky, and by wielding the giant tree club, he flung the Grizzly Demon King, holding the club, into the air right from the ground!

A mere human youth managed to toss into the air a Giant Grizzly Demon hundreds of times larger than him in stature!

The scene was beyond astonishing!

The Giant Mountain Ape Monster and the other seventeen Demon Kings watching from the side were completely stunned!

Boom!

When the hurled Giant Grizzly Demon crashed back to the earth, creating a massive crater in the ground, the other Demon Kings were utterly lost for words.

After that, the Demon Kings saw that this human youngster had flung the tree club he had caught hundreds of zhang away. Then, flying into the huge crater, he grabbed the Giant Grizzly Demon once again with a single palm.

Before the Grizzly Demon King could react, he flung it from the crater towards the side of the Mountain Ape Monster King.

Boom!

In the end, the Giant Grizzly Demon was even knocked unconscious at the Mountain Ape Monster King's feet!

Then, Ye Chen's indifferent voice fell into the ears of all the Demon Kings: "That wasn't good enough. If you want to fight me, send out someone tougher!"
