Chapter 292 - 291: Human Couple (2)

Mo Tian looked back at Bai Sha. "They were not killed by the Five Emperors. According to the viewing array... three Demon Kings have been killed by a human couple."

Bai Sha froze. The Warlord of the White Slaughter blinked, his mind entirely unable to process the combination of words.

"A couple?" Bai Sha demanded, stepping forward, his massive frame looming over the table. "You speak of a pair of hidden monsters? A pair of Void Refinement experts?"

"The viewing array is absolute in its measurement of Qi," Mo Tian hissed, his composure entirely shattering. "The husband is in the Early Stage of the Soul Transformation realm. The wife... the wife is merely at the Early Stage of the Core Formation realm!"

"WHAT?!"

Bai Sha’s roar was so catastrophic it literally blew the roof off the bone pavilion, sending shards of demonic ivory spiraling into the acidic clouds above.

"A Soul Transformation insect and a Core Formation girl?!" Bai Sha bellowed, his golden eyes igniting with literal, blinding fire. "So weak?! Yet dares to challenge the Demon Realm?! Dares to slaughter three Kings of the Hollow Beyond?!"

Mo Tian paced the floor, his shadows whipping around him like enraged serpents. "It defies all logic! Mo Du possessed a plague domain capable of rotting spatial laws! Yuan Kong possessed raw physical might that rivaled the earth itself! And Qian Yan..."

Mo Tian stopped pacing, his black eyes wide with genuine outrage. "Qian Yan was not just a Demon king! He was of the Thousand-Eye lineage! He was a genius not seen in two thousand years in the Demon Realm! His comprehension of spatial illusions was so profound we were grooming him to eventually lead the charge into the Imperial Domain! How could an Early Soul Transformation human defeat him?!"

"I will not listen to second-hand reports of this humiliation!" Bai Sha roared, his rage escalating beyond the confines of his human vessel.

The Warlord of the White Slaughter threw his head back and let out an apocalyptic, earth-shattering roar.

His human form violently dissolved. Thick, indestructible silver-white fur erupted across his expanding body. His bones cracked and shifted, growing massively in scale and density. In a single heartbeat, the Demon Lord transformed into his true, absolute form.

He became a towering, fifteen-foot-tall humanoid White Tiger.

He possessed the upright, bipedal stance of a man, but the rippling, devastating musculature, the razor-sharp claws, and the terrifying, majestic head of a primordial White Tiger. He was born with the innate spirit of the White Tiger bloodline, granting him an absolute, unmatched mastery over the Dao of Slaughter. Within the Demon Realm, his physical cultivation was universally recognized as completely unmatched!

"To the viewing array!" the White Tiger Demon Lord commanded, his voice a dual-toned, guttural roar that shook the very foundations of the plateau.

Without waiting for Mo Tian, Bai Sha launched himself into the air, his Peak Void Refinement aura tearing a literal, physical tunnel through the corrosive miasma of the Hollow Beyond. Mo Tian dissolved into shadows, closely following the enraged Demon Lord.

They flew across the jagged, bloody landscape of the Demon Realm, arriving at the pinnacle of a towering, obsidian spire that housed the Grand Viewing Array.

A dozen high-ranking Demon Generals were already gathered around a massive, floating pool of corrupted, liquid quicksilver. The liquid functioned as a high-dimensional mirror, perfectly synchronized with the residual spatial tearing of the Nine Heavens Ward, allowing them to peer directly into the Nine Provinces.

As Bai Sha landed, the sheer impact of his true form caused the obsidian spire to groan. The Demon Generals instantly scattered, dropping to their knees and pressing their faces to the floor, terrified of the radiating, homicidal bloodlust of the White Tiger.

"Show me!" Bai Sha roared at the array masters. "Show me the replay of this humiliation!"

The quicksilver pool violently rippled. The image stabilized, projecting the recent events from the Grand Court.

The two Demon Lords watched in absolute silence.

They watched as Yuan Kong, the Ape Demon King, was physically manhandled, his bone-spiked armor crushed by the bare hands of a human. They watched as the Core Formation wife laid down a flawless frost array to bind the behemoth, displaying a synergy and tactical brilliance that defied her pitiful cultivation stage.

They watched, with mounting, silent horror, as the human pressed his hand to Yuan Kong’s chest and literally devoured the explosive detonation of a Void Refinement demonic core, using it as cheap fuel for an impossible internal cycle.

"His body..." Mo Tian whispered, his black eyes narrowing as he analyzed the golden-purple light radiating from Lin Yuan’s skin in the projection. "The five elements are perfectly, and flawlessly cycled within his organs. It is a True Elemental Body. He has opened the Five Great Secret Realms."

Bai Sha merely snarled, his silver fur bristling as the replay shifted to the sky.

They watched the human shoot upward into the atmosphere. They watched him summon the colossal, god-like avatar bathed in the tri-colored light of black, white, and crimson.

"Three rebirths," Bai Sha growled, his golden tiger eyes reflecting the blinding light of the Dao of Three Rebirths. "He wields the true path of Reincarnation."

They watched as the six ethereal arms casually, and effortlessly reached out and literally tore Qian Yan’s supreme Thousand-Fold Labyrinth apart as if ripping through a cobweb. They watched the Eagle Demon King, the greatest spatial genius the Demon Realm had produced in two millennia, crushed into a faint speck of absolute nothingness between two glowing palms.

The quicksilver pool shifted one final time, showing Lin Yuan hovering in the clear sky above the Nine Provinces.

The human slowly turned his head. His deep purple eyes seemed to pierce directly through the spatial rift, looking straight into the viewing array. It was as if Lin Yuan could see the Demon Lords watching him. The cold, sovereign smile on the human’s lips was an absolute, undeniable challenge to the entire demon realm.

I am coming up there to kill you as well.

That was what Lin Yuan’s expression seemed to say, his killing intent lingering like a residual echo of his voice, reverberating through the quicksilver pool.

CRASH!

Bai Sha drove his massive, razor-sharp claws directly into the obsidian stone beside the pool, tearing massive gouges into the indestructible rock.

The sheer, unmitigated audacity. A human, standing in the ruined, inferior mud of the lower world, was openly declaring war on the top demons of the Hollow Beyond.

"You dare?" Bai Sha whispered, his voice a low, terrifying rumble that slowly built into an apocalyptic roar. "A human... an insect... YOU DARE CHALLENGE US?!"
